My Cartoonist Guide

　　 The words of a few people made Zhen Xi a little bit tickled.

"Have you brought that comic?"

"Take it."

"I...want to see..." Zhen Xi looked a little cautious.

He wanted to know how interesting this Go comic was discussed by so many people.

A young chess player took out "The Soul of Chess" from his backpack and handed it to Zhen Xi.

Zhen Xi rarely reads cartoons. He has been in contact with Go since he was five years old, and has been dealing with black and white chess pieces, chessboards, and chess records ever since.

Therefore, when he got Go, he even had a little expectation.

However, after reading the first episode, Zhen Xi felt a little boring, far less interesting than watching the chess record. After the teacher came out, his heart felt a little more peaceful.

There are child prodigies in Go, but those child prodigies have been in contact with Go from an early age and practiced repeatedly to achieve results-just like Shi Liang.

Shi Liang, who learned Go from a young age, lost to a Go boy, and that boy still relied on the power of other people...what's the matter?

Zhen Xi's brows tightened when he saw the second episode, and what made him feel even more uncomfortable is that this kid named Jin Tengguang actually said in the fourth episode, "get a few championships at random"... He regarded Go as What did you do?

What made him even more unacceptable was that Shi Liang lost to Jin Tengguang for the second time.

Isn't this a nonsense? No matter how good Zuowei is, he is still playing ancient Go...How could it be possible...with the help of a primary school student to defeat Shi Liang?

Zhen Xi clenched her teeth, unknowingly, exerting strength with her hands.

"How? Isn't it interesting?"

When Zhen Xi heard what others said, she remembered that she had other people's cartoons in her hand, enduring the anger in her heart, and looked at the talking little chess player coldly, "It's very funny...Don't let me see this cartoon again?"

The other young chess players have different attitudes, but they can see that Zhen Xi doesn't like this cartoon.

...

The sales of "Soul of the Chess" was as expected by Wang Wenhong, after reaching a single-day sales of 100,000 copies on the fourth day, it began to stabilize, and the weekly sales reached 370,000 copies.

Shen Xin was slightly surprised when he heard this number. There are 23 volumes of "Gossip", and about 28 million copies have been sold. On average, a single book sold more than one million copies.

Unexpectedly, in this world, the first volume of "Soul of Go" sold 370,000 copies in the first week. However, considering that there are more people watching comics in China in this world, the sales of "Soul of Go" should be better than Earth.

At the weekly meeting of the editorial department, Shang Haozhi emphatically praised Wang Wenhong, not only increased Wang Wenhong's salary, but also received a large bonus.

Driven by the pamphlet, the "little book" of "Kingsei" also showed signs of recovery. The little book of Chapter 14 rose to No. 5. Although the "Little Book" of Chapter 15 has not yet come down, the "Flying News" is Promoted to fourth place.

In front of "Hunting Soul" is "Hunting Abyss".

Wang Wenhong is in a very good mood. After three weeks of busyness and anxiety, he can finally exhale at this moment.

"Okay, next, it's about the'Comic Festival'. This year, we didn't participate in too many awards. We should only be sure of the'Adaptation Award' of "Criminal Punishment"... In the past year, in Yelaoshr and After Teacher Han, we no longer have any signature newcomers...Should we hold a short story contest?"

Zeng Yue shifted the topic to the "Comic Festival".

Shang Haozhi nodded, this year's "Comic Festival" is really tricky.

"Icfuture", as China's first magazine, will be the protagonist of the comic festival in previous years.

However, there is only the "Adaptation Award" for the sure prize this year.

Originally, "Hunting Abyss" also had the opportunity to hit the "best long-form comic", but the biggest problem facing "Hunting Abyss" was that it could not be updated to 100 chapters before July-since it is a "long-length comic", it will definitely be The length of the comic is required.

"The Legend of the Dragon King", which is now ranked first, has won the "long comics award", while the funny comic "Killer's Diary" ranked second. The subject matter is not too dominant. I have tried it twice, but both have failed. Going back, letting "Killer's Diary" participate in the awards this time, it is estimated that it is still enough.

As for the "Newcomer Award", no good seedlings have been found in the past year. This award has once again been handed over to other magazines.

"Well... it's okay. Before November, right? If you don't find a suitable newcomer cartoonist before November, then go'digging people'!" Shang Haozhi said.

Other editors rubbed their foreheads. After digging in this way, it is estimated that Shang Haozhi would be completely stinky in the industry.

Shang Haozhi also knew the risks of digging people, and finally urged that digging people is a last resort. At present, it is still mainly to dig new people.

After the meeting ended, the deputy editor-in-chief Zeng Yue began to formulate the relevant procedures and worked out the rules in the first time.

When Wang Wenhong saw the request, he was a little worried.

He knew that both Lu Ning and Ma Ning wanted to become professional cartoonists.

If they participate in the short story contest, the selection of Shen Xin's assistant becomes a problem. Maybe, they have to find a new assistant for Shen Xin.

Although the performance of "Gossuki" has rebounded, the state is unstable, and the new assistant has to run in with the manga artist, which will affect the progress of the manga to some extent.

But it is impossible for him to keep silent, otherwise, the two assistants will definitely have opinions on him when they see the advertisement of the short contest.

After thinking about it again and again, he decided to tell the two assistants.

It's a big deal to find an assistant again, at most a period of time, it should be no problem...

Wang Wenhong prepared for the worst.

When he told Lu Ning and Ma Ning about the short story contest, they both refused.

"I feel more and more that my strength is not enough now. Even if I participate in the short story contest, I will definitely be rejected. Instead of this, it is better to study with Teacher Shen for a period of time." Ma Ning explained.

Lu Ning's answer was more direct, "I haven't thought of a story that will make people's eyes shine, so I don't plan to participate."

The answers from two people made Wang Wenhong's pressure much easier.

"By the way, who are the judges of this competition?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"Teacher Ye, his current workload is relatively stable, and he has time to serve as a judge~www.NovelMTL.com~ and he has a good eye for people. The magazine is very relieved." Wang Wenhong explained.

Han Ye was powerfully dug up by Wang Wenhong. Facts have proved that his painting skills are indeed very powerful.

Since the short comic contest has nothing to do with Shen Xin, he won't care about it either.

In the following two weeks, the "Small Book" score of "Soul of Chess" finally stabilized at the fourth place, and the online discussion with "Soul of Chess" gradually heated up.

In recent episodes, the protagonist of "Soul of the Game" suddenly changed to Ta Yaliang, telling his experience in Haiwang Middle School. Some students even used "imitation chess" in order to make things difficult for him. This made many Go noobs feel fresh and curious. Soon some people who knew well about Go explained the "imitation chess".

"A Haiwang's middle school student was imitating Xiao Liang's Go, but Xiao Liang finally repaired it."

"I don't know how Xiao Liang cracked it, I don't understand it, but I think Xiao Liang is so powerful."

"That's Dongpo chess. Heizi played'Tianyuan' first, and then imitated Baizi's chess pattern. It is easy to crack, and Baizi can play around Tianyuan."

"Said it is Dongpo Chess, then this should be the Song Dynasty chess record, right?"

"Actually, it may not be. Because the Song Dynasty has rules for playing chess, Go must be played on the four star positions around the board first, but the first move to imitate chess is to play'Tianyuan', which is unlikely to be the Song Dynasty.

People who know Go gave a little explanation, which opened their eyes to many Go noobs. They really learned a lot of Go knowledge in the comics.
