Chapter 384 Short Stories and Popularity

"The 29th issue of the little book is out."

"Yeah, it really is "The Legend of the Dragon King" that ranks first."

""Steel Refining" fell to the third place. From the current point of view, "City of Carbon Mine" is indeed not as exciting as the first two episodes."

When Jian Xiaomei saw the little book, she somewhat regretted it.

It was a great opportunity for The Hunting Deep to return to the top spot, and it was wasted like this.

It's all to blame that bastard Ye Hexu for making such a hasty decision, leaving no time to adjust later.

Wang Wenhong was already mentally prepared.

After the climax, there must be a period of calm.

In fact, so far, the original draft of Chapter 6 has come out.

If you move "City of Carbon Mine" or "Battle on the Car" to the front, it is actually okay, but the plot of these two episodes is still a little less attractive than the first and second episodes.

From the current point of view, "Smelting Steel" may be dormant for a while.

"The quality of this issue of the magazine is not as good as the previous issues. This can be seen from the sales volume of the magazine." Jia Hui sighed.

Although the specific data has not yet been calculated, the sales department judged from the information asked by major bookstores that it should not be comparable to the past two issues.

"There is no way to do this. The short comic that replaced "Hunting Abyss" really doesn't work."

"Its vote was third for short stories.

"Xu Jie tapped on the table and said in a low tone.

"But the third place is not comparable to the lack of "Hunting Abyss"." Hook reminded.

Xu Jie frowned, feeling a little helpless.

He was very optimistic about this short comic, but couldn't help the readers' interest in it.

Then again, how could a short comic be as popular as a long comic.

There is no need to think about these things at all, perhaps, even Shen Xin may not be able to do it.

Wang Wenhong scratched his head. From his point of view, the ranking of short comics is not necessarily the case.

At this moment, Shang Haozhi walked into the room, coughed lightly, and glanced at the people in the editorial department.

"Meeting!"

Yan Fei glanced at Li Junwen and coughed lightly.

Li Junwen took a few paper bags, nodded slightly, and followed Hu Ke and Jia Hui into the office.

...

Lu Ning came to Shen Xin's studio to make the atmosphere in the studio a little more lively.

Gao Hang and Lu Ning had worked together, so they were familiar with each other, but they only spoke a few words before turning around and calling out to Xi Muhan on the second floor.

The little woman looked around, everything was so fresh.

"This is Teacher Shen's studio?" The woman's eyes were shining with stars.

"Yeah." Lu Ning nodded.

"The Soul of Chess was drawn here?"

"Yes." Lu Ning said casually.

Compared with when she left, there is a big difference here.

Not only are there two assistants who don't know each other at all, even the equipment has been changed.

She wanted to change it too, but she changed so much in a row... She really might not be able to afford that much money.

Xi Muhan went down to the second floor, brought Lu Ning and the little woman to the corner sofa on the first floor to talk.

Shen Xin was condescending, staring at the three women, his gaze stayed for half a minute, and then moved to the digital screen in front of him again.

Starting today, Xi Muhan will also be negotiating contracts, with "Girls Century" and "The Lightest Language".

In the evening, the three people stood up from their seats. Xi Muhan just opened the door, but saw Wang Wenhong outside the door was about to knock on the door.

"Brother Wang, are you here?"

The sudden appearance of Wang Wenhong startled Xi Muhan.

"Um."

Wang Wenhong nodded, looked behind Xi Muhan, but was a little surprised when he realized that it was Lu Ning and a woman he didn't know.

Lu Ning and Wang Wenhong greeted each other briefly, and left Shen Xin's studio with the little woman.

""Girls' Century"?" Wang Wenhong asked in a low voice after the two of them got down the stairs.

"Well, let's discuss the adaptation of "Guotu"." Xi Muhan let Wang Wenhong into the room.

There's nothing to hide about this.

Shen Xin cooperated with "comic future", but she didn't.

""National Journey"? "Land of Clouds"? That's a good novel, but unfortunately, it's not very suitable for "comic future"." Wang Wenhong sighed.

Xi Muhan frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Rather than being uncomfortable, it is better to say that it is depressed.

"It's not suitable for "manga fly" either." Xi Muhan went up the stairs with some anger.

"That's right... Eh, why did you think of "manga fly"?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.

""Manga Fly" didn't want "Guotu"." Shen Xin explained.

"It's not that I don't want it, it's that we didn't agree." Xi Muhan stomped his feet and quickly retorted. Suddenly seeing the smile on Shen Xin's face, he knew he was joking. A blush appeared on his face, and he immediately turned his head and went downstairs, "Ignore it." you guys."

Wang Wenhong frowned slightly, as if he had heard something extraordinary.

""manga fly" is not going to be a lightly modified comic, is it?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Probably." Shen Xin nodded.

This matter has little to do with him, and it has little to do with Xi Muhan.

Besides, although "manga fly" and "comic future" are in a competitive relationship, as long as Shang Haozhi wants to inquire, such information can still be inquired about.

Wang Wenhong nodded, but didn't take this matter to heart.

Other magazines have lightly reworked comics, but the sales volume can only be compared with the medium-grade manga at most. "manga fly" is going to lightly remake, and it happens to be able to see the potential of lightly reworked comics.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"Didn't you say, "Game" is over, let me tell you?" Wang Wenhong asked back.

"pass?"

"There is no objection, and all the editors gave it a high evaluation. The first chapter is going to be serialized in the 35th issue of the magazine."

"Episode 35? Wait... Issue 35, "Steel Refining" should be serialized 'The Distress of the Alchemist (Part 2)'?"

Because there will be a break in the middle for a short rest, so, the 35th issue happens to be the episode where "Death Alchemist" Tucker synthesized his daughter Nina and the dog Alexander, and it is also the story of the entire "Steel" The most depressing line in "Refinement".

Wang Wenhong nodded.

"Okay, it seems that the first place will be given to "game"." Shen Xin scratched her head.

"That can't be helped. However, this is also the first chapter of Tamagawa-sensei's serialization on "Comic Future", so he should be allowed to take the first place."

"Too."

"By the way, Mr. Shen, have you read the latest issue of "comic future"?"

"Look."

"Have you read a few short stories?"

Shen Xin nodded, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly?"

"From the perspective of a cartoonist, which one do you think is the best?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Which one?" Shen Xin rubbed her chin, recalling several short comics, "It should be "Mountain God", right?"

"Phew - I thought, I'm the only one who thinks this article is good?"

Wang Wenhong breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?"

"Ahem, that's it. This comic was originally serialized in "Shounen Future", but was later transferred to "Comic Future" to fill the vacancy of "Hunting Abyss". Some editors said that this comic lowered the short comic popularity." Wang Wenhong said dissatisfied.

Shen Xin nodded, "This editor is right."

Eh?

Wang Wenhong looked at Shen Xin in surprise, what Shen Xin said seemed to be different from what he said just now.
