Chapter 627 Method

Now, "Smelting Steel" has been serialized to chapter 137 "The Shape of Man, the Shape of Stone". The Walking Philosopher's Stone.

Including this episode, "Steel Refining" is still not enough for a single volume, and "Steel Refining" has a total of 27 volumes, that is to say, there are at least 65 chapters in "Steel Refining" that have not been drawn.

Now it’s just in June, and after another two months of rest, the serialization will start in August, and a year later, that is, in August next year, the serialization will be about 50 episodes at most... Roughly estimated, the manga will definitely be caught up, how many originals will be added? The plot is useless.

Shen Xin made a rough calculation and knew that according to the current progress, being caught up is a certainty.

Black handwriting, three circles on "65" and finally stopped.

"If the current speed is followed, "Smelting Steel" will not be finished until November next year at the earliest." Shen Xin put down her pen and looked at the other three people.

Yan Fei frowned slightly, and after translating Shen Xin's words into Japanese, Shoji Uno's expression became serious.

From April to November, this is half a year, and it takes one and a half years to fill it up.

If it is divided into another season, it is not cost-effective in terms of time, because in half a year, "Smelting Steel" will be over, and the animation will also use the popularity of manga to sell BD. Besides, if the remaining content is divided into two more seasons... who knows when the third season will be released? It is also possible to delay for a year and a half.

As for... the original plot?

The others were really uncertain about the plot of "Smelting Steel", so they told Shen Xin that no one can guarantee that the original plot will not conflict with the comics in terms of setting.

"Is it okay to compress the plot? Compress the content of "Smelting Steel" to end before April next year?" Shoji Uno put forward his own idea.

"impossible!"

After hearing the translation, Shang Haozhi shook his head again and again.

The biggest pillar of "ComicFuture" now is "Steel Refining". When Shen Xin said that "Smelting Steel" will be finished around November next year, his heart tightened.

What this means, he knows better than anyone. Before November next year, if "ComicFuture" cannot find a comic that can take over "Steel Refining", "ComicFuture" will definitely be surpassed by Duoman.com.

Now, Shoji Uno proposed to compress the plot of "Smelting Steel" and end it half a year earlier... Isn't that killing him?

Firmly disagree.

Shang Haozhi's attitude is very firm.

Shen Xin didn't intend to compress the plot of "Steel Refining". In fact, Aunt Niu was a little hasty in handling the finale. After all, the words of the confrontation with "Father" are astonishingly long. If you pursue the ultimate rationality , It is indeed difficult, and because of this, the final battle has the passion that a hot-blooded comic should have.

If the content is compressed, in fact, the plot is likely to collapse.

He doesn't allow this to happen.

Shen Xin looked at the white paper in front of her and wrote a "/2" on it.

65/2, which is equal to 32.5, is rounded up, and the two episodes are combined into one episode, leaving 33 episodes in "Steel Refining".

"Steel Refining" was originally a monthly magazine. I split Chapter 1 of "Steel Refining" into 2 chapters for weekly updates.

If this is done, "Smelting Steel" should be finished before April next year, but, on average, 40 to 45 pages of manuscripts are drawn a week, can I handle it?

Shen Xin leaned on the back of the chair, seriously recalling the state when she was drawing manga, uh...it should last for more than half a year, so it's not a big problem.

He can ask Wang Wenhong to help him find two more assistants. Also, matters that have nothing to do with comics can also be handed over to Wang Wenhong. Thinking about it this way, he can really give it a try... No, in order not to reduce the quality of "Smelting Steel", He had to do it.

But there are difficulties with this approach - the problem is not with him, but with "ComicFuture".

The length of a magazine is certain,

"Smelting Steel" draws 40 pages a week, which means that one comic cannot be serialized.

Does ComicFuture agree? Does Shang Haozhi agree?

This is also ambiguous.

After watching Shen Xin draw a few strokes on the paper, the others' expressions changed twice, for no reason.

"What's wrong? Do you have any ideas? Teacher Shen?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"Compressing the plot doesn't work. If I compress the plot, the quality of "Steel Refining" will definitely decline. I don't want to do this. Later, I thought about it, and there is no solution." Shen Xin took a deep breath and looked at Shang Haozhi.

"What way?" Shang Haozhi asked puzzled.

"Maybe we need the magazine's help." Shen Xin said in a deep voice.

"tell me the story."

"In the next period of time, lengthen the length of each chapter of "Steel Refining", from the current 20-odd pages to 40-odd pages, and it should be finished in more than half a year." Shen Xin stared at Shang Shang. Hiroshi.

"Are you too tired? Your body...especially your stomach needs to be recuperated." Yan Fei said hastily. She will be Shen Xin's editor in the future, so she must pay attention to Shen Xin's health.

"I know. However, in the last two months, I have nothing else to do. I can take advantage of this time to prepare the rest of the work, and then find two assistants. It should be no problem. It's only half a year, but "ComicFuture" , I don’t know if there will be enough space for me.” Shen Xin and Shang Haozhi looked at each other.

Shang Haozhi didn't expect Shen Xin to do this, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

Doubling the length of "Steel Refining" is definitely a good thing for "ComicFuture", especially in the context of the collective decline of domestic magazines, but Shen Xin's words also conveyed another signal-"Steel Refining" is coming to an end.

If there is no other comic to succeed "Forged Steel" before then, "ComicFuture" will be in danger.

Knowing Shen Xin's words, Zhuang Si Yuno also asked Yan Fei to take out a piece of paper. He hastily drew two pages on the paper, then looked up at Shang Haozhi, "If Mr. Shen can guarantee the quality of the manga, I think it will be fine. , 160 pages of manuscripts a month, should not interrupt the animation."

"In this case..." Shang Haozhi looked at Shen Xin with some embarrassment, "In principle, there is no problem, now "ComicFuture" also has its own app, just put a serialization on the app..."

Speaking of this, Shang Haozhi was a little bit frustrated. So far, there is still no clear plan on how to make the app more competitive. Now the magazine and the app are facing the impact of the D version, and everything is not good.

"Then do this?" Shen Xin asked tentatively.

"I still have two questions." Shang Haozhi knocked on the table twice, "After "Smelting Steel" is finished, what is Mr. Shen's plan? When will your next comic come out?"

Although Shang Haozhi didn't want to admit it, "Comic Future" relied far more on Shen Xin than Wang Yunze did back then.

Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Shang Haozhi to bring the topic to the next comic.

"Going to rest for a while..." Shen Xin paid attention to Shang Haozhi's expression, and when he saw his face turned cold, he changed his style of painting, "However, I'm not sure. It's not impossible...it's still early, and I can't give a definite answer. But at that time, Teacher Ye's new work should come out, right?"

Hearing Ye Hexu, Shang Haozhi also nodded, his face softened a lot.

That's right, "ComicFuture" is not only Shen Xin, a cartoonist, but also Ye Hexu in the magazine? 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
