Chapter 838 Wangdao Comics and Themes
Wang Wenhong's whole morning was not easy at all.
In order to find as many comic magazines as possible, Wang Wenhong went to several bookstores and only bought a dozen magazines.
As soon as he returned to the hotel and had a mouthful of rice, he saw the three of Shen Xin coming back from the window of the restaurant.
Shen Xin also saw Wang Wenhong, said hello to him, and pointed to the upstairs, the meaning was obvious, we will meet at the residence.
Wang Wenhong nodded. After Shen Xin left, he hurriedly took two mouthfuls of food, then went upstairs to his bedroom, tidied up the dozen magazines he had bought, brought the magazines, and knocked on Shen Xin's door.
Inside the room, Xi Muhan was sitting on the bed.
The whole matter had little to do with her, so she didn't get too close. Yan Fei put her notebook on the table, and while browsing the forum, she was discussing something with Shen Xin.
Wang Wenhong put the magazine on the table, took a breath, picked up a bottle of pure water on the table, and took a big sip.
"Why haven't the plastic seals been torn off?" Yan Fei glanced at the stack of magazines, 80% of the plastic seals hadn't been torn off.
"I don't have time." Wang Wenhong pulled his face, showing reluctance, "You don't think it's easy to buy these magazines, do you? You have to know that the sales of best-selling magazines are terrifying, and many magazines are sold out. I may go to several bookstores to buy a magazine, am I easy?"
"It's hard work." Shen Xin brought a rattan chair for Wang Wenhong and asked him to sit down, while she picked up the top magazine, "Zhou Man Top".
This is also a very famous comic magazine in the 11th district. Before that, the sales volume in a single week was maintained at 1.5 million copies, but now I don't know what happened.
"By the way, I also inquired about an interesting thing." Wang Wenhong leaned against the back of the chair, straightened his legs, and stretched beautifully.
"Um?"
"The sales volume of "Youth Leap" in recent issues has fallen below 4 million copies, so the situation of "Youth Leap" is not too good." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.
"Oh..." Shen Xin rubbed her chin, smiling lightly.
Yan Fei also held her cheek with one hand, and the look on her face was also intriguing.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Wenhong was a little puzzled.
"In the evening, the editor-in-chief Murakami will come over." Yan Fei explained.
"Huh? What is he doing here?" Wang Wenhong couldn't think of the reason for a while, after all, Murakami jumped out too suddenly.
"Should it be about cooperation? Of course, this is just my wild guess. I'm afraid I won't know the specific reason until the editor-in-chief Murakami comes over." Shen Xin explained.
"Then what does Teacher Shen mean?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"Negotiations must be bargaining chips, is it right?" Shen Xin asked back.
"That's right." Wang Wenhong nodded.
"Shounen Leap" is somewhat similar to "ComicFuture", but because it holds some well-known comics in the world, its worth is higher than "ComicFuture".
Negotiating with such a magazine, there is nothing to talk about without a bargaining chip.
Shen Xin has created amazing profits in "ComicFuture", which is Shen Xin's bargaining chip. As for "Youth Leap", "DN" is not serialized on it, and "Youth Leap" has limited impact. Therefore, it is really hard to say how far Murakami can back down.
More importantly, Shen Xin didn't have enough chips.
There are so many well-known cartoonists in the 11th district, and "Shounen Leap" is one of the most yearned-for magazines for countless cartoonists in the 11th district. There is no need for Murakami to stick to Shen Xin.
"Then you mean..."
"My thoughts..." Shen Xin raised her head and thought for a moment, "This negotiation will not result in any way. So, this time, let's collect the materials of these magazines first, and then talk to them when I have a bargaining chip." .”
Wang Wenhong nodded, and then asked seriously: "The bargaining chip you are talking about is "Stones Gate"?"
"No. I don't intend to paint "Stone Gate",
Will not use it as a bargaining chip. "
"Really? That's a pity." Wang Wenhong sighed.
Although he still doesn't know the content behind "Steins;Gate", judging from the original paintings, stories, etc., the quality of this work is extremely high.
"The value of "Steins;Gate" is not in the comics. I don't want to draw two comics at the same time, and I am easily exhausted in energy. Instead of doing this, it is better to focus all my energy on one work."
"Then... Teacher's new work, do you have any ideas?" Wang Wenhong couldn't help asking again.
"Yes. But still the same sentence, even if I go back to Hongchuan to prepare now, the new book will probably not be serialized until the middle of next year." Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong with a smile.
Not only Wang Wenhong was surprised, even Yan Fei couldn't help but turned her head and looked at Shen Xin puzzled.
"It takes more than half a year to prepare a book, no..." Yan Fei's words stopped abruptly.
Shen Xin may have been thinking about the new book when she was traveling, so the preparation time for this book may even take more than a year.
"It really takes so long to prepare?" Wang Wenhong couldn't help but confirm again.
"Well. I can't draw it now, so I can only wait."
Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong looked at each other, and they could see the surprise on each other's faces.
Comics that even Shen Xin can't draw should be uncommon, but since Shen Xin said so, there should be a certain reason.
"Difficult to draw?"
"I thought about it for a while. The main reason is that storyboarding and character movements are more difficult. Therefore, in the past six months, I will spend more than half of my time on these aspects... I know you are a little surprised. Let's put it this way? The next comic It will be a real royal manga." Shen Xin rubbed her hands.
After resting for such a long time, he is also in good condition. If he returns to Hongchuan, maybe he will start practicing drawing immediately?
Yan Fei's eyes brightened immediately, the manga that brought Shen Xin the most benefit was actually "Smelting Steel".
As for Shen Xin’s ten-year debut, there is only one royal manga in the true sense, “Steel Refining”—although “Soul of Chess” is also the same, but the subject matter is too small and the threshold is a bit high. Many readers don’t think that “Spirit of Chess” is a manga of kingly way .
Therefore, Shen Xin's next comic is the Wangdao comic, which is indeed very good.
Wang Wenhong crossed his fingers and placed them in front of him, his eyes were also very energetic.
The ceiling of kingly comics is much higher than that of evil comics.
"Then, teacher... what is the theme of Wang Dao's manga?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"basketball."
"Basketball?" Yan Fei couldn't help shouting.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"No... the theme of basketball, no matter in District 11 or in Huaxia, has been overused. Teacher, if you choose this theme, will you..." Yan Fei hesitated.
When Tamagawa Haruka serialized "Slam Dunk", she raised a lot of opinions. In her opinion, the highest score for basketball comics should be that of "Slam Dunk".
"However, the reason why there are so many works is because there are so many audiences. Just like me, although I don't like playing basketball, I also watch basketball games. Therefore, I still think that although there are many basketball cartoons, no matter it is District 11, It's still Huaxia, there is no real classic." Wang Wenhong retorted.
Shen Xin rubbed her chin, it was rare for these two people to have a conflict of opinion.
