Chapter 203: Contracts and Assistants
"Then I'll ask you to prepare these photos." Shen Xin said.
"Hmm." Xie Shiqi bowed slightly.
"Next, after each draft, you have to read it from beginning to end, pick out the mistakes in the comics, and make it easy to revise." Shen Xin continued.
"It should be fine. If there's something in the manga that I don't know, I can ask Grandpa. Xie Shiqi said seriously.
Since Shen Xin said that there will be a venue based on "Xie Chengbo Go Dojo" in "Chess Soul", she is also more attentive to the whole comic. Taking a step back, even if she can't, she can still ask her grandfather.
Basically, the professionalism of this manga is guaranteed.
"In addition to all this, there is one most important requirement. You should know ComicFuture, right? ”
"When I was younger, I loved reading this magazine." Xie Shiqi nodded, "But after learning Go, I don't have time to watch it anymore." ”
"Hmm. ComicFuture is a weekly magazine that is published weekly. That's why I have to submit my manuscript every week. However, before submitting a manuscript, it must be reviewed to ensure that the manuscript is free of obvious errors. Of course, I can understand your difficulties. Since you are a professional chess player, you will have some things to do, such as participating in tournaments or being a match commentator. If this happens, be sure to let me know in advance, so that I can adjust the pace of painting. ”
At the end of the day, it's this one that matters.
Xie Shiqi just wanted to say, "It's impossible for this to happen", but then she thought that no one could say what would happen in the future, so she nodded again, "Okay." If there is really something urgent, I will entrust my grandfather or other brothers and sisters to help review the manuscript. ”
"It couldn't be better." Shen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Next is the honorarium......
"No, you don't." Xie Shiqi waved his hand, "The appearance of the venue based on the 'Xie Chengbo Go Dojo' in the comics has already helped me and the dojo a lot." ”
"One yard is one yard, and honoraria and those are not to be confused. Besides, if you don't provide photos of the dojo, I might have a headache too. ”
At Shen Xin's insistence, Xie Shiqi finally nodded.
In the end, Wang Wenhong gave a relatively satisfactory offer based on the price of hiring a consultant for other comics, and based on this, a contract was drawn up.
Shen Xin and Xie Shiqi had no opinion, so they signed the contract.
"Next, here are the first three words where you need your help." Shen Xin knew that time was pressing, and after signing the contract, he immediately took out the name and spread it on the table.
Xie Shiqi also took out a notepad and pen from her handbag, ready to write down Shen Xin's request.
"First of all, here...... Zuo Wei was from the Ming Dynasty, and he had a duel with another person who instructed the emperor in chess, and at this time, the two sides used the ancient game of Go. There should be a difference between the ancient game of Go and the current game of Go, so I will leave this game to you. ”
"Next, there is Jin Tengguang and Ta...... The competition between him and Shi Liang. Since Zuo Wei is an ancient, the chess path is more retro, but Shi Liang's chess path is different from him......"
"I know, I'm young, but my strength is very high, much like Zhen Xi." Xie Shiqi frowned, "Moreover, Shi Xingyang, who came out later, is Shi Liang's father, and he is also very similar to Zhen Duo." ”
Yesterday's loss to Zhen Xi still haunts her.
"That...... I didn't take them into account when I set them up, but Shi Liang's personality is completely different from Zhen Xi, and he has a high degree of concentration in Go. ”
"I know...... I'm fine. Xie Shiqi took a deep breath, "What else do I need to prepare?" ”
Shen Xin looked at almost every storyboard carefully, and said everything that needed chess games, and Xie Shiqi wrote them down one by one.
"In this way, the photos of the chess club, the Go classroom, and the chess games used, I entrusted Mr. Wang to send them the day after tomorrow, and some relatively simple content, such as the 'grapes' mentioned by the Go teacher after the first sentence, I can draw the chess games right now. Then when your manuscript is finished, I'll come back and review it. ”
Xie Shiqi wrote down her phone number on the contract.
"Thank you very much."
Wang Wenhong found two pieces of blank paper, handed them to Xie Shiqi, and asked her to draw the chess score of "Grape" on it.
"Mr. Shen, can you now determine when it will be serialized?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"What is the current issue of ComicFuture?"
"The 13th issue, next week will be the 14th issue." Wang Wenhong explained.
"Issue 14...... That's 21 issues, right? I started serializing in May. Shen Xin roughly calculated, even if he needed to submit the manuscript in advance, he would have more than a month, three words...... Including the name at the back, it should be possible to draw it in advance.
"Okay, I'll try to find you an assistant tomorrow...... By the way, there is another thing, Mr. Shang said, let you prepare two color pages, one will be published in the magazine several issues in advance as a promotional advertisement, and the other page will be used as the cover of the magazine. Before leaving, Wang Wenhong remembered what Shang Haozhi had arranged.
The color pages ......of "Chess Soul" are of very high quality, and I don't know what step I can reach.
Shen Xin meditated in his heart.
After finishing the consultant's affairs, the original manuscript finally made progress, Shen Xin drew more than ten pages of line drawings a day, and put on a few pages of ink lines, and was busy until late at night before resting.
Early the next morning, Gao Hang found Shen Xin's studio.
After the two met, before they had time to greet each other, Shen Xin led Gao Hang around the studio, and finally handed over the manuscript of the ink line to Gao Hang.
"The school in the comics is not the point, so just draw an ordinary school, and, ancient buildings, I refer to some materials, if there is anything wrong, you can help modify it."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Gao Hang put the line drawing on the table, took out the pen, ruler and other tools from his backpack, and began to lie on the workbench to draw the background.
In the afternoon, Wang Wenhong came over with another assistant, who was not very old, should be less than 25 years old, of medium stature, and relatively thin weight.
When Gao Hang saw Wang Wenhong, he immediately stood up from his seat and pointed at Wang Wenhong without saying a word for a long time.
Wang Wenhong rolled his eyes, "You kid, don't hate the wrong person." It was Chen Zijiao who drove you away, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Before, he didn't have much intersection with Gao Hang, and he didn't bother to explain some things.
Now the two of them look down and don't look up, if the relationship continues to stiffen, it will definitely affect the progress of the work.
Gao Hang crossed his arms over his chest and carefully recalled the scene when he met Wang Wenhong before.
At that time, Wang Wenhong and Chen Zijiao had a good relationship, in his opinion, these two people were simply "raccoon dogs", but then again, Wang Wenhong and Chen Zijiao were still a little different - at least Wang Wenhong didn't say bad things about him in front of him.
Could it be a "miscarriage"?
Gao Hang looked at Wang Wenhong, who showed an innocent face, and shook his head again and again, he couldn't be deceived by this guy.
"Don't do anything to be sorry for Teacher Shen, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." High Voyage threatened the road.
Wang Wenhong shuddered with fright.
How does it feel...... Like a bad guy yourself?
Shen Xin shifted his attention, he and Wang Wenhong had just started to cooperate, and there had been conflicts before, so it may not be a good thing for Gao Hang to "beat" Wang Wenhong and let him be honest.
