My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 271 Best Sellers and Classics

On the way, Wang Wenhong and Shang Haozhi did not speak.

The car was parked in the parking space outside the community, Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong got out of the car, and quickly entered the community where Shen Xin was.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Li Jie subconsciously got up and opened the door, but saw Shang Haozhi standing outside the door, he suddenly became nervous, and quickly let the two of them into the room.

Shang Haozhi was not in the mood to talk to Li Jie, and strode up to the second floor.

"what happened?"

Gao Hang didn't care who came, and he never thought about becoming a cartoonist. When he saw Shang Haozhi's expression was wrong, he immediately asked Wang Wenhong.

Wang Wenhong shook his head slightly. He can't judge the direction of the situation now. Up to now, he can only take one step at a time.

When Shang Haozhi saw Shen Xin who was painting at his desk, he didn't bother him to paint, but lowered his head to pick up the drawing on the ground.

When he saw Zuo Wei with a smile on his face, Shang Haozhi's heart tightened and he let out another long sigh.

"Mr. Shang, you haven't been here for a long time, right?" Shen Xin asked back.

"Well, I've been busy recently, and I have some troubles."

Standing in front of the workbench, Shang Haozhi let out a long sigh, and looked at Shen Xin resentfully.

Most of these troubles are caused by you.

"Is it about "Soul of Chess"?"

Shen Xin also felt a headache after Wang Wenhong's last visit.

When he was writing online novels, he encountered similar things.

The editors of most online novels are not responsible for the content of the novels, and the source of feedback for the authors is the readers.

When the story develops to the branch of the plot, some readers will jump out and say, "Author, if you write like this, I won't read it" or "Author, if you don't write like this, I won't read it."

At first, he patiently explained to these readers, but later, he didn't bother to talk about it.

It is impossible to change the direction of the story according to the preferences of one or two readers. Otherwise, the outline of the story will have to be redone, and the plot behind it will have to be reconceived. These things cannot be done in a day or two.

The current situation is somewhat similar to that at that time, but this time the person who opposed him was not ordinary readers, but the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

"you know?"

"It's not difficult to guess. Zuo Wei's popularity vote is the first place, right?"

"Well, it's almost equivalent to the sum of the votes of Xiao Liang and Xiao Guang."

"a lot of."

Shen Xin doesn't know how popular "Soul of Chess" is in the original book, but he thinks that Zuo Wei should be the most popular character. Even in China and the 11th district of the earth, they are extremely popular.

"I know, you have already planted the foreshadowing in Chapter 76, Zuo Wei will eventually disappear... Can you change the outline so that Zuo Wei survives?"

"I can't." Shen Xin shook her head.

Wang Wenhong puffed up his cheeks, it was exactly what he thought at the beginning.

"Why? I need a reason that you can convince me." Shang Haozhi said sharply.

"Yes. Let me ask you, if it is you, you have the opportunity to create a best-selling comic that will be forgotten in a few years, or create a classic comic that will be mentioned even in ten or even decades, What would you choose to do?"

Shang Haozhi was at a loss for words for a while, and finally he said dryly: "Is there any necessary connection between the two?"

"Of course. Mr. Shang, what is Zuo Wei's role in "Soul of Chess"?"

Shen Xin put down the dip pen and looked up at Shang Haozhi.

"Zuo Wei? Goldfinger...helped Xiaoguang get familiar with Go. Because of Zuo Wei, Xiaoguang also got the attention of many chess players, which made readers look forward to the story." Shang Haozhi didn't expect Shen Xin to ask such a question, so he went Subconsciously expressed his feelings.

"Is there a deeper reason?" Shen Xin continued to ask.

"...I can't think of it for the time being." Shang Haozhi frowned, the more he couldn't figure out what Shen Xin was thinking.

"Inheritance." Shen Xin said patiently.

"Inheritance?" Shang Haozhi was a little puzzled.

"Well. Zuo Wei represents the past, and Xiao Guang represents the future. Zuo Wei travels through thousands...a hundred years,

Meeting Xiaoguang, this is the inheritance of Go. However, as Xiaoguang's chess skills increase, Zuowei's role will also be weakened, and he will be caught between Xiaoguang and Xiaoliang... This is not the result Zuowei wanted. Instead of this, I would rather give Zuo Wei more roles, let him show his charm, and then disappear at the right time.

"Mr. Shang, although Zuo Wei is only a soul, he and Xiao Guang also have their own pursuits. Moreover, you only see the loss caused by Zuo Wei's disappearance, but you don't see the meaning of his disappearance, which endows the entire comic. "

Wang Wenhong has black lines all over his head. Shen Xin's explanation today is completely different from what he said to him a few days ago.

Shang Haozhi pouted helplessly, "Mr. Shen, I understand what you said, but...animation company, record company, toy company, TV station, game company... Once the performance of "Soul of Chess" fluctuates, these companies will All interests will be lost. If the situation is severe, there may not even be a company to produce animations for "Soul of Chess."

"I know, that's why I made a bet with Chairman Bao. If I win, the magazine society will find an animation company to make the entire "Soul of Chess" into an animation. Mr. Shang, there is a chance to make "Soul of Chess" a classic, why don't I?" How about trying it?"

Shang Haozhi was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the bet between Shen Xin and Bao Jiyi had a lot of meaning at the beginning, perhaps at that time, he thought of this situation.

But then again, if Shen Xin can really win the title of icfuture for three consecutive months, it means that the level of "Soul of Chess" has already surpassed other comics of icfuture. .

"I understand." Shang Haozhi nodded. Originally, he came here to persuade Shen Xin, but in the end he didn't gain anything. "If you can make "Soul of Chess" a classic that people still want to mention more than ten years after it is finished, I have nothing to lose." There is something to say."

"It's definitely possible." Shen Xin nodded slightly, her gaze firm.

"Oh, I've convinced you. There is an easier path, but I chose the most difficult one." Shang Haozhi talked with a look of exhaustion on his face.

"Let Mr. Shang worry about you." Seeing Shang Haozhi's tired face, Shen Xin felt deeply sorry.

The original version of "Soul of Chess", when reading it for the first time, there will be some plots that make people cry, but those readers who gave up "Soul of Chess" when Zuo Wei disappeared, can still remember "Soul of Chess" ten or even twenty years later. "The plot in ", thinking of Zuo Wei's disappearance, there will be tears in the eyes, this is the charm of "Soul of Chess".

Just like "Baseball Heroes", the talented younger brother Uesugi Kazu also died in a car accident, and his older brother Uesugi Tatsu became a pitcher for the team, creating another sports classic.

Sometimes, the death of a popular character is unavoidable.

After sending Shang Haozhi away, Wang Wenhong also heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Shen Xin: "I thought the editor-in-chief would be furious, and you and the editor-in-chief took this opportunity to quarrel."

"We are all relatively mature, and it is impossible to make that kind of mistake." Shen Xin shrugged.

"However, your rhetoric today is different from before." Wang Wenhong said puzzled.

"Yeah, because the people we are facing are different. Although the editor-in-chief is a good person, his position is too far away from most cartoonists. Even if I talk about the difficulties of cartoonists, he may not be able to understand them. Do you think so?" Shen Xin asked.

Wang Wenhong nodded, "It seems that after the experience of "neor1d", you have indeed matured."

The corners of Shen Xin's mouth curled up, she stretched her muscles, and picked up the dipping pen again.
