Chapter 324: The Choice of the End
"Chess Soul" has not only aroused heated discussions among readers in China, but also many Han people have also entered the debate, and even some Chinese readers who understand Han have also started arguments with Han people on the Internet.
For a time, the comic forums of the two countries were particularly lively.
Huaxia's readers' attitude is very unified, since in reality, Huaxia Go can't win against Han, they expect that in "Chess Soul", Xiaoguang can win Gao Yongxia once.
The readers on the Han side are also very consistent, they think that "Chess Soul" blackens the Han chess players.
Knowing Han Guo's reaction, Shen Xin was a little entangled, and when Wang Wenhong came to receive the manuscript, he asked curiously: "What does the editorial department think about this matter?" ”
"Editorial office? Doesn't matter. "Chess Soul" was not serialized in Han's magazine, and the sales of the single book were negligible compared to Huaxia and District 11. Therefore, the editorial department is not in a hurry at all. Wang Wenhong explained.
"Where's Long Yao?" Shen Xin's heart let go a lot.
Long Yao owns the animation rights in all regions except for the 11 regions. But in other regions, only Han is willing to buy the copyright of "Chess Soul".
"Long Yao...... Worried, right? But at this time they did not dare to speak out. Wang Wenhong smiled.
Shen Xin immediately knew what Wang Wenhong meant.
Han is Long Yao's largest market outside of China, but if they happen for Han at this time, they will definitely be resisted by Chinese readers.
Without the market of Han Kingdom, Long Yao will be in pain at most, and he will make less money. Once they annoy the readers of Huaxia, it is estimated that they will lose all their capital.
The TV station paid part of the production fee for "Chess Soul", but for each episode, Long Yao will have a gap of 100,000, and this money will be filled by sales, and there is no doubt that Huaxia readers are the main force in buying CDs.
Long Yao Animation can be regarded as a loss.
As for Zhenyu Technology, Shen Xin also asked Ji Yinxuan. Ji Yinxuan replied very simply, and it didn't matter.
"Zhenyu's market is mainly in Huaxia and District 11, as for Han...... Don't make any money. They have their own game company, and they are also very repulsive to Zhenyu. ”
All things considered, it doesn't have much impact on the country.
"What about Shonen Leap?"
"It is said that readers are very excited and want Xiaoguang to clean up Gao Yongxia."
Shen Xin has a black line, a reader in District 11, which is quite real.
"By the way, Mr. Shen, does Xiaoguang really want to lose? Readers on the Internet are very concerned about this. Gao Hang asked.
Shen Xin was stopped by this question.
"Chess Soul" is based on the background of District 11.
At that time, Go in District 11 was already on the decline, not as good as Han and Huaxia. Sometimes, there is probably only one 11th district player for 8,000 in a tournament.
This is not the case with Huaxia Go, especially after 2000, when Chinese players are likely to occupy half of the quarterfinals, but in the finals, when facing Cho Hoon-hyun, Lee Chang-ho or Lee Sedol, they often miss out on the championship.
It wasn't until the young players grew up that Huaxia Go gradually competed with the Han Kingdom, and even had a small advantage, but as for the 11th district, it gradually drifted away.
Therefore, it is not that Huaxia Go does not have a chance to defeat Han, but it is just a breath away.
The Chinese Go of this world is similar to the earth, and there are a large number of excellent chess players, but there is a lack of chess players who can decide the whole thing in the finals.
If this hurdle is crossed, Huaxia Go may not be able to surpass Han.
District 11 has a slim chance of winning Han Go, but Huaxia Go is different, and it really has a chance to defeat Han.
Even the game between Zhen Xi and Park Yongtai last year was just a breath off.
In the original book, Xiaoguang finally lost to Gao Yongxia, and the fundamental reason is that the Go in the 11th district in reality is really not very outstanding.
So......
Does Xiaoguang still want to lose to Gao Yongxia?
From the perspective of the work, it is definitely better to lose to Gao Yongxia, the comics will be more in-depth, more intriguing and thought-provoking; But considering the reality, Xiaoguang's victory over Gao Yongxia should make readers have confidence in Huaxia Go.
It is feasible to go left or right, so Shen Xin didn't know how to choose for a while.
"Ahem...... Teacher, I would like to share my opinion. Li Jie coughed lightly and looked at Shen Xin.
"Say."
"The current situation is that Chinese readers agree that Xiaoguang won the game, but Han readers believe that if Xiaoguang wins against Gao Yongxia, it is disrespectful to the facts. From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to underestimate Han people. Li Jie said depressedly.
"If Zhen Hee had won against Park Yong Tae last year, maybe she wouldn't have been so distressed." Shen Xin scratched his head.
"Then wait a minute......" Wang Wenhong said suddenly.
"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong puzzled.
"Didn't Mr. Xie say that? In December, she was invited to give a Go commentary for U18 teenagers, and professional chess players from all over the world will come to Hongchuan. If Huaxia can win the Han Kingdom, then it is not impossible for Xiaoguang to win against Gao Yongxia, right? Wang Wenhong explained.
Shen Xin leaned on the back of the chair and thought seriously, this method is not impossible.
Although the final ending of "Chess Soul" is quite meaningful, Huaxia Go and Go in District 11 are not the same after all, and the effect may not be good if you copy the plot.
"Then I'll draw two endings, and which one to use depends on the results of the Go tournament in December."
"That's the best, it's just hard for Mr. Shen." Wang Wenhong hurriedly said.
"It's nothing, it's going to be over soon...... It's nothing to work harder. ”
When Wang Wenhong heard the word "end", his heart tightened, and the faces of Gao Hang, Li Jie and Ma Ning were also full of puzzlement.
From the current point of view, the ranking of "Chess Soul" is not bad, and it has just won the "Best Long-Form Comics Award", with an average monthly sales of about 500,000 copies of a single book, which is definitely the hottest comic in China.
They couldn't figure out why it was over.
"Mr. Shen, after the end of "Chess Soul", what comics are you going to create?" Wang Wenhong asked.
The three assistants' eyes lit up, and they looked at Shen Xin with glittering eyes.
"I want to draw a royal road comic...... But what exactly is the type. I'm only thinking about the end of "Chess Soul" now, and as for the next manga, I haven't thought much about it. Shen Xin rubbed his chin.
In a sense, "Chess Soul" can also be regarded as a royal comic, there are dreams, friendship, blood and sweat in the comics, but it is limited by the subject matter, which makes "Chess Soul" seem a bit niche, which is not the same as the royal comic in the traditional sense. In the same case, you can refer to "Slam Dunk" or "The Prince of Tennis".
"Royal Road Comics?" Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin and his eyes lit up, "Still in ComicFuture?" ”
"I guess, I can't find a better comic magazine in Huaxia, right?" Shen Xin said with a smile.
"Yes." Wang Wenhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to "ComicFuture", both "MangaFly" and "Semi-Monthly Leap" are a little worse.
"Wait a minute...... As soon as May or June next year, the situation of new books should be fruitful. Shen Xin narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.
