Chapter 370 Confidence

Shang Haozhi turned his head, but saw two people coming in through the door.

One was thin, with disheveled hair, and looked gentle. He was wearing a light-colored suit jacket with a dark gray thin sweater inside. The other has short, broken hair, a square face, expressionless face, and is wearing a black coat.

These two people should be the deputy editor-in-chief and team leader mentioned by Murakami.

Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong stood up, and after shaking hands with the two people who came in, the four sat down again.

The three of Murakami carefully read the setting of "Smelting Steel", but the two who just came in had nothing to do and could only wait quietly.

This wait is more than ten minutes.

Yasuda Zhi took the lead in sitting up straight, pushed the figure away, and the two people who had just entered took the figure over.

Nearly ten minutes later, Murakami will also hand it to the two people who just came in, and then take the human set from them.

In the first few episodes, you can only see the author's ability to control the previous plot. The follow-up direction of the story still depends on the introduction of the character design.

In a good story, the plot is driven by people, and readers will read it more naturally. If the plot is driven by events, the creator will deliberately create conditions in order to achieve a certain event, and the plot will appear blunt.

Therefore, from the subsequent fate of the characters, we should be able to see the direction of the entire comic.

Murakami looked at the experiences of the dozens of characters that appeared, and roughly sketched out the relationship among them.

At first glance, the relationship between the characters is not as close as imagined, and the protagonist is not the focus of all events.

This also means that the plot is likely to have other branches, and the author uses these branches to connect the protagonist and other tasks in series.

Looking at the character introduction alone, the protagonist has his own main line, which is to restore himself and his younger brother to their bodies. Scar is for revenge, and the artificial man also has his own purpose.

These intricate network of relationships, but there are intersections.

In order to restore the body, the protagonist needs the Philosopher's Stone. Scar wants to destroy the National Alchemist because his brother was killed by the National Alchemist.

The protagonist has no personal conflicts with Scar, but Scar kills the national alchemist indiscriminately. As the "Fullmetal Alchemist", Edward is naturally his enemy.

The purpose of the artificial man is unknown for the time being, but their existence has caused a large number of deaths of the Ishbal people. Therefore, Ska, who is an Ishbal man, has hatred between the artificial man.

If these plots can be smoothed out and clearly expressed through a brush, this comic may not be impossible to look forward to.

Xiaogu sat up straight and rubbed his eyes.

"How's the setup?" Murakami asked.

"You can see for yourself?" Kotani pushed the setting to Murakami, "Conservatively estimated, it is better than more than 90% of the setting in "Youth Leap."

Murakami raised his brows slightly, it was indeed beyond his expectation that Kotani could give such a high evaluation.

The setting of "Steel Refining" exceeds more than 90% of the works of "Youth Leap"? Doesn't that mean that this one may also be a pillar comic?

Murakami's attitude towards "Smelting Steel" was immediately more cautious.

"That..." Murakami glanced at the other three people. They were all looking down at the setting, knowing that there would be no results in a short time, so their eyes fell on Shang Haozhi, "Editor Shang, what are the conditions of your company?" ?"

"Conditions? It's the same as before. Your company owns the profits of the 11th district comics, and we get a commission from it." Shang Haozhi took a deep breath and slowed down his tone. "By the way, Mr. Shen also has his conditions."

"What?"

Murakami frowned slightly, and it was rare for the manga artist to propose conditions.

However, thinking in another way, if "Youth Leap" had such an author, he would probably consider it seriously.

"He determines the length of the manga, and the magazine cannot interfere; the animation production company, at least at the level of Orochi... This is a hard condition." Shang Haozhi explained.

"How hard is it?"

"These two conditions are the premise of cooperation. If you agree to cooperate,

It is equivalent to agreeing to these two conditions. "

"You gave him too much power." Murakami frowned.

Shang Haozhi smiled slightly, "A magazine must have a trump card. Other cartoonists can also negotiate terms with me, but they must show corresponding strength. Moreover, China is not only a magazine "ComicFuture", but Like District 11, there are many excellent comic magazines."

Murakami was taken aback for a moment, Shang Haozhi obviously meant something, especially the last sentence.

District 11 is more than an excellent magazine "Youth Leap"... What do you mean? Does he still have a backup?

Murakami's gaze fell on the character design involuntarily, and the other editors also raised their heads, looking at Shang Haozhi in surprise.

For a moment, the three of them became the focus of everyone.

Wang Wenhong suddenly felt dry mouth, and glanced at the interpreter on the side, seeing that he was also nervous, only Shang Haozhi was always smiling, as if he had a plan in mind.

"That's it..." Murakami came back to his senses first, and rubbed his nose, "I really want to give you an answer, but today's time is really too short, let us talk about it again, and we will tell you the decision tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. How are you?"

Shang Haozhi nodded slightly when he heard the translation, "When the time comes, will I contact you or..."

"I'll contact you... as soon as possible." Murakami glanced at the other four people again, but saw that they were hurriedly looking at the setting of "Smelting Steel", so he could only force a smile, "Wait a while, wait for them to finish watching."

"We're in no rush."

"Where are the three going to eat later?" Murakami asked again.

"We'll just go wherever we want."

"There is a nice Huaxia restaurant nearby, why don't we go there for dinner?" Murakami suggested.

"Should we wait until this matter is over?" Shang Haozhi refused.

Murakami nodded slightly, "Then it will take another two days."

After more than half an hour, several editors handed over the setting and setting of "Smelting Steel" to Shang Haozhi.

Comics and novels are different from general commodities. They are extremely reproducible, and the content of the replica is exactly the same as the original.

The setting and content that Shang Haozhi brought this time is almost the main content of "Steel Refining" in the early stage. Once leaked, "Steel Refining" basically has no secrets at all. Therefore, Shang Haozhi has to be careful and cautious.

Wang Wenhong followed Shang Haozhi out of the building, and the pressure disappeared a lot.

Shang Haozhi glanced at Wang Wenhong, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "You still need to exercise more. Teacher Shen has already told you the bottom line, you should have confidence."

"Isn't this in a foreign country? I'm afraid of embarrassing Teacher Shen." Wang Wenhong touched his nose and smiled.

"What's there to be afraid of? I didn't have enough confidence at first. But after listening to Teacher Shen's reminder, I suddenly gained confidence."

"Why?"

"Mr. Shen also raised a few opinions when he was painting "The Soul of Chess", right?"

"That's right."

"That's it. Whether it's owning the right to determine the length of the comic, or choosing an animation production company, the purpose is for the quality of the entire comic. For this reason, he even gave up the market in District 11, which shows that he cares about this comic. This is similar to his attitude towards "Soul of Chess". Whether a comic is popular or not depends on the market, but it also depends on how much confidence the author has in the comic. If "Youth Leap" gives up, they will definitely regret it."

Shang Haozhi exhaled, turned around and glanced at the building of "Young Leap".

I hope your decision will not disappoint Teacher Shen and me.
