Chapter 988 Popular or Not
The dinner started, and there were three tables in the hall, one for Shen Xin and others, one for the assistant, and one for the assistant's family.
At the dinner table, Wu Xiaoli formally extended an invitation to Shen Xin, asking him to go to the "ComicFuture" annual meeting if he has time.
"Last year, you didn't participate, so the atmosphere wasn't too lively." Wu Xiaoli explained, "You are also the signature of the magazine...see if you can spare some time..."
"..."
Shen Xin didn't believe these words at all.
The most important people at the annual meeting are actually the leaders, such as Bao Jiyi, Shang Haozhi, Yu Chen and others. As for the cartoonists, it would be better if they can come. If they can't, it's no big deal.
Just like in previous years, Wang Yunze was the pillar of "ComicFuture". After he left, the annual meeting was still held every year.
Saying things like "Without someone, there will be something missing in the annual meeting" is just deceiving children.
However, after thinking about it, Shen Xin decided to take a look last year. It wasn't that he was moved by Wu Xiaoli's words, but no matter what he said, he was always a member of the comic circle. Even if he usually put his energy on comics, it was still necessary to get to know the people in the circle.
"By the way, I remember that there is a little girl from district 11 in your studio, where is she?" Ji Yinxuan asked curiously as she drank her red wine and looked around.
"Going back to District 11. For others to celebrate the New Year, you must let her go back? Besides, she has been here for more than a year, and the opportunities to meet her family are few and far between. Let her take a few more days off and let her spend time with her family. "
"What should I do in the future? After all, she is from District 11. I think it is unlikely that she will stay in Huaxia."
Shen Xin shook her head, with a helpless expression: "It's up to her personal wish. She is welcome to stay, and if she wants to go back, she won't stop her. At that time... Although it will be a pity, but also respect other people's choices, right? Eh, little Li, what's that called? It's a cartoonist from the Han country, has he returned to the country too?"
"No. The New Year in South Korea is not New Year's Day, but the first month, don't you know?" Wu Xiaoli asked curiously.
Shen Xin laughed awkwardly.
He doesn't know much about Han country, he only knows a little about Han country's TV series, football, and skating. As for customs, he doesn't know much.
As for the manga market in Han, after "Soul of Chess", he didn't think about it.
The Beidou Cup of the original version of "Soul of Chess" was not made into an animation after all, but in this world, the Beidou Cup was not only made into a big movie, but also changed the ending, so that Gao Yongxia lost to Xiaoguang, which made the Han country readers even more dissatisfied.
There was a reason why he changed like this in the first place.
Go in the 11th district is declining, and it is not the same as Go in the Han Dynasty. It is basically impossible for Shinto Hikaru to beat Gao Yongxia.
But Huaxia Go is not the case. At that time, it was much better than District 11 Go. It entered the finals many times, but most of the time, it was a pity that it lost to Han, but it was not the case that it did not win the game. Before the final words of "The Soul of Chess" came out, he had defeated the leader of young chess players, Pu Yongtai.
After that competition, Huaxia Go suddenly gained an advantage. In the past five years, Han Guo Go has only won one or two championships.
Whether it's a coincidence or not, after "Soul of Chess", Huaxia Go has soared all the way, while Han Guo's Go has shown a decline. Go lovers don't have a good impression of "Soul of Chess"-probably equivalent to koi, right?
Now, after the web comics come out, the D version spreads faster, especially in the country of Han. The D version of comics and film and television works are not difficult to find, so he doesn't care about the market in the country of Han.
Seeing that everyone had already drunk, Shen Xin leaned against the back of the chair, smiled slightly, suddenly her palms warmed up, she looked down, and at some point, Xi Muhan put her little hand on his.
He lightly shook Xi Muhan's hand, and smiled at Xi Muhan.
...
"Ah Choo!"
"What's the matter? I told you earlier,
Pay attention to your health, I will go to Korea for a competition after the festival, and I have a cold and fever, which will affect my performance. "
"I see, Mom... Isn't this a good time?"
"Just look at it, and you know how to read it." The middle-aged mother glared at her son, "You are not young anymore. Ten years ago, I didn't say anything when I read a manga. Now I am so old and still read manga... What a shame You don’t grow up! Even though you have won so many championships, I thought you would be more mature?”
"Mom, don't look down on comics, comics have long been decoupled from age. Besides, didn't I rely on "Soul of Chess" to get out of the shadows? Now "Soul of Chess" is a recommended introductory book for many dojos, listen carefully , is a recommended book." The son is not angry, or, after winning the championship, he knows how to control his emotions.
"Xiaoxi, how are your preparations for the post-holiday competition?" My father couldn't bear to watch, so he changed the topic.
"We should be able to win the team competition. Besides, we don't have to play against domestic chess players, so the pressure won't be so great." Zhen Xi never took his eyes off the manga.
Now, in all international Go matches, domestic players put more pressure on him than foreign players. If you don't pay attention, it is not impossible to lose the game or even the championship.
But it is precisely because newcomers come out continuously that domestic Go can surpass Han.
It is precisely because of the impact of the newcomers below that Zhen Xi can continue to improve himself.
"That's good...by the way, what comics are you reading?" Zhen Duo asked.
"Basketball, you don't understand."
"You understand." Zhen Duo lost his temper when his son said that.
"I don't really understand either, but it's good enough to look good." Zhen Xi chuckled, "Besides, I definitely support Teacher Shen's work."
"Ms. Shen's?" Zhen Duo was taken aback for a moment.
If there was no "Soul of Chess", what would Zhen Xi be doing now? Therefore, he also has a good impression of Shen Xin, but the two of them are not in the same circle, and they rarely get in touch with each other.
"Yeah, it's very popular. I got it after dragging my friends."
Zhen Duo also became interested, picked up a pamphlet casually, glanced at the cover twice, there was a man with red hair, looking at him with a basketball in his hand.
This person has such a personality?
Zhen Duo thought in his mind, and at the same time opened the manga, roughly flipping through a few pages.
When he first watched "Soul of Chess", he thought it was interesting, but he really couldn't stand this comic, it was noisy, and he didn't have a sense of substitution.
"Interesting?" Zhen Duo doubted.
"Of course... I heard that the sales volume should exceed that of "Soul of Chess". I don't know if this comic will become popular abroad. I have some expectations... I heard that the sales in District 11 are also good. As for the country of Han, it's hard to say. Zhen Xi thought for a while, "I guess it's not very good? After all, because of the "Soul of Chess", many people are dissatisfied with Mr. Shen."
Zhen Duo also shook his head, Han Guo's basketball is also good, but it's not as good as Huaxia, who knows what they will think of this comic?
