My Cartoonist Guide

() On April 29, the 21st issue of "ComicFuture" was officially released. Shinto Mitsu and Sawei became the theme of the cover of the magazine. "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "The Hunting Abyss" appeared in the corners of the cover.

For a comic magazine with a volume of more than 5 million copies, it is difficult to change the sales of a comic whether it is updated or not. Many people just bought "ComicFuture" and watched "Soul of Go" by the way. . Some people were attracted by the 20th issue of the poster. When they bought the magazine, they turned to this comic about Go.

No matter what kind of mentality readers, they didn't have much hope for "Gossip" at first. After all, in the comics, Go belongs to the niche among the niche, and for people who don’t understand Go, they may read Go comics as if they were reading reference books.

However, when these readers turned to the first page of "Goku", they noticed the difference in this comic. When Zuo Wei appeared in front of Jin Tengguang, the scene like a **** descending from the earth amazed many readers.

"The protagonist of the comic is a kid who doesn't understand Go. I don't know if Teacher Shen chose him as the protagonist.

"Although Jin Tengguang doesn't understand Go, Zuo Wei can... Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, Zuo Wei was a teacher who taught the emperor to go, and his chess skills must be one of the best at the time."

"Don't you understand? Zuowei was very good at Go at the time, but the rules of Go have been changed, so Zuowei is not necessarily better than a professional chess player now."

"I have a doubt, Zuo Wei was from the Ming Dynasty, but after his unjust death, the soul exists in the world, so you should know the changes in Go?"

"Listening to you, I know that you didn't read the first sentence carefully. Zuo Wei can't take the initiative to pick someone. He has only been attached to one person in the past few hundred years. Therefore, I don't understand the current Go game."

"Speaking of which, although the Zuowei on the poster is amazing, I didn't expect Zuowei in the comics to be so cute, especially the pitiful look in his eyes, I really want people to hold them in their arms and love them well."

"Zuo Wei is mine, don't grab anyone."

"Go upstairs, it's mine."

"Don't mess up, don't you think Jin Tengguang is a bear kid?"

"Yes, if I were Jin Tengguang, with such a master of Go following, I would definitely learn Go, and maybe I could quickly become a nine-dan."

"The chess saint who was previously named as possessed is probably the same idea."

"I want to ask, who is'Xie Shiqi' written on the cover page?"

"Her name is written with'Three Duan', which means that she is a professional chess player."

"So, all the content related to Go is true?"

"Of course. There are also many professional chess players in China. If you scribble casually, you will definitely be pointed out. By then it will be really shameful."

"Mr. Shen is so rigorous. This time, I must support Mr. Shen."

Although the battle for the first place between "Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss" has become fierce, there are still many posts related to "Hire of Go" in the forums of comics. The popularity is only slightly weaker than that of the first two. Comics, this surprised many editors of "ComicFuture".

By convention, the first chapter of a serialized comic is often easier to win the votes of readers. On the one hand, because the first chapter has the most pages, usually more than 50 pages, secondly, the first chapter is usually a complete story, and it will also Leads to the follow-up plot, so in this sentence, the cartoonist will rack his brains to attract the reader's attention.

However, in the past month, the competition for the top three rankings has become more and more anxious. Not to mention the latest comics that hit the top of the list, not even one of them has made the top four.

Shang Haozhi mentioned this at the conference many times, but other editors couldn't help it. The first few comics have already been hit by bayonet. How could the other comics rush in?

Before the serialization of "Soul of Go", the editors gave the best result as the fourth. They knew that Shen Xin deliberately invited professional chess players to serve as consultants in order to draw "Soul of Chess". However, the previous competition was really too tragic, and the serialization date selected for "Soul of Chess" was too bad.

Most of the editors used "Hireki" as the background board, however, the popularity of the forum made them stunned. The first chapter of "The Soul of the Game" maintains a high degree of enthusiasm, and it is hard to tell that this is a comic that has just begun to be serialized.

Since the 21st issue of "ComicFuture" was released, Wang Wenhong has not had a good night's sleep, for fear that "Hire of Go" will not achieve the desired result. He did not dare to call Shen Xin, fearing that Shen Xin would be affected, so he could only keep the matter in his heart.

On the third day after the 21st issue of the magazine went on sale, the deputy editor-in-chief Zeng Yue entered the editorial department with the "brief report" and distributed a copy to each editor.

Wang Wenhong closed his eyes and took two deep breaths to slow down as soon as possible. Then, he opened his eyes suddenly and scanned from top to bottom.

"The first place, "The Legend of the Dragon King"; the second place, "The Soul of Chess"..."

Wang Wenhong's gaze stops here, and he doesn't look down anymore-third place? Who cares he is?

All he knows is that "Soul of the Game" is second in the breaking report.

"Why did "Gossip" get the second place? The monster from "Hunting Abyss" has been discovered, and the battle is on the verge. Why is it only ranked third with such a tense plot?" An editor wondered.

Not only did he not know the reason, but Jian Xiaomei was also at a loss.

"Hunting Abyss" is gradually reaching its climax. Even if it is not as good as "The Legend of the Dragon King", it should not be lost to "The Soul of the Game".

"Don't worry, this is just a'short report', and the real decision of the ranking is the'small book'." Jia Hui comforted.

"I know, group leader." Jian Xiaomei took a deep breath.

"Small Book" is the result of randomly selecting 1,000 postcards and counting postcards. Therefore, the ranking is more authoritative than the "Short Report".

Wang Wenhong couldn't take care of this. After a dry cough, he said to others: "I'll go smoke a cigarette."

After leaving the editorial department, he couldn't wait to go to the corner and called Shen Xin.

"Mr. Shen, the second place in the'Express News'." Wang Wenhong whispered.

"Second place?" Shen Xin was taken aback~www.NovelMTL.com~ I thought it was the first place? "

"Mr. Shen, you can be content. Recently, it's really hard to squeeze forward. If the "Little Book" can also be second, it will definitely be a good result."

Shen Xin didn't know about the editorial department, and when he heard Wang Wenhong say this, he nodded, "That's not bad. Brother Wang, would you like to have dinner?"

"Wait for the'little book' to come out. It's not the final result yet." Wang Wenhong said hastily.

"Yeah. Waiting for your good news."

Wang Wenhong hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

On Friday, the results of the "Little Book" came out, and all the editors saw the statistics in their hands, and they were silent.

Wang Wenhong took a deep breath and slowly sat on the sofa, his inner feelings could not be expressed in words.

"First place, "Soul of Chess", 523 votes."
