Big Manga

Meng Huo opened other posters and began to introduce some characters and settings of "Soul of Chess".

"The Soul of Chess" tells the story of a boy in the sixth grade of primary school who accidentally found an old chessboard, and the soul of the ancient chess player's soul possessed by the chessboard entered the boy's body, and then took him to go. The story of Tao...

This is the introduction. Meng Huo did not disclose the specific situation. He just briefly mentioned ancient chess players and modern boys. He made some modifications to other settings according to the Chinese chess academy. The difference in the story is not very big, and there is not much trouble in modifying it.

To the audience around, the introduction of this Go cartoon can be summed up in one sentence: a modern Go story of an ancient chess player and a modern boy.

"Two different souls, this is interesting."

"It doesn't seem so boring."

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, this setting is very interesting, at least it is not a boring story of learning Go, maybe "The Soul of Chess" can really make them like it as Mr. He Xi told, of course - there is no question disappear!

After a brief introduction to "Soul of Go", Meng Huo started the dialogue session of this new comic, but the first fan who stood up to ask a question was quite straightforward: "Mr. Can you read it? I don’t want to learn how to play chess just to read a manga!”

His question set the others up again, and it was obvious that this was what everyone wanted to know the most. The reporters stared at Meng Huo with bright eyes. This question is quite difficult to answer. Can you read Go comics if you can't play chess?

"Of course, without a doubt..." But Meng Huo was sure. He doesn't think the problem is difficult at all: ""Soul of Chess" will not have viewing restrictions, even if you don't know how to play chess at all, I will make you think it is very good."

Some reporters immediately remembered this sentence, even if He Xi said it, they still didn't quite believe it. Write down this sentence. If the manga is released at that time and the situation is found to be different, He Xi will have to slap himself in the face.

However, most of the fans in the auditorium seemed to believe it. In their hearts, He Xi would not lie.

For those who doubted, Meng Huo added: "You can rest assured. I can make a promise that "Soul of Chess" will launch an animation within three years!"

This sentence not only caused a commotion among the fans in the guild hall, but also on the forum of He Xi's House. It is not difficult to make animations for He Xi's comics, and everyone can do animations, but He Xi never took the initiative to say when launching comics. say this sentence.

These years.

He has not said which manga will be adapted into an anime, but now he has made a promise for a new manga that has not yet been released. This shows his absolute trust in the quality of "Soul of Chess". Is it possible that a Go comic is better than his other works?

"Is "Soul of Chess" really that good?"

"Teacher He Xi is too confident!"

In the amusement park, Wang Zhe heard some tourists around him sighing, he squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt that the new comic "Soul of Chess" was not easy.

Wang Zhe dared to swear, no matter what Meng Huo said now. The news after the carnival is not optimistic about "Soul of Chess". Go comics, its readers are not as simple as a minority, it is also a professional comic. No matter how gaudy He Xi said, the reporters would not believe that many readers would buy it.

And it’s not just a question for the readers, whether He Xi can draw "Soul of Chess" is also questionable. After all, someone has already investigated He Xi clearly. He has never learned Go, let alone Go. master.

The piano and composition are excusable. Even his writing doctor manga is not worrying, however Go - has to be questioned.

But on the other hand. Wang Zhe believed that the cartoonist He Xi would not tell lies, so he made a promise. That must be very confident in "Soul of Chess". And I used "Pokemon" and "Detective Conan" as metaphors before. Is this a coincidence?

These two are super popular works, why not compare them with a smaller range of works? Just like "Light Sound Girl", before it was released, no one thought that a daily animation would be popular!

The two most profitable works of Phoenix Company are used as a metaphor. Does this mean that He Xi thinks that the new comic "Soul of Chess" can compete with them?

"Unbelievable..." Wang Zhe thought it was unbelievable. Intellectually speaking, "Soul of Chess" would not be a successful work no matter what factors were analyzed, let alone challenge those two animation giants.

However, judging from He Xi's self-confidence, it will definitely be a popular comic, and it will surpass the niche and become a comic for the general public.

"Incomprehensible."

Wang Zhe couldn't figure it out, shook his head involuntarily, and then continued to look up at the screen.

Phoenix management, and several fans asked Meng Huo questions on the spot. Meng Huo answered selectively without spoilers, and then accepted some media inquiries, and answered them conservatively.

Interestingly, when a reporter asked him whether "Soul of Chess" was just a cartoon about a Go game, Meng Huo was stunned.

"...Yes, and no." He stood on the stage and walked a few steps slowly, frowning slightly: "I don't want you to misunderstand that "Soul of Chess" is just about Go games and competitions. Of course, these are important contents, but What I want to use this comic to describe is not pure Go, but a kind of persistence and pursuit of dreams."

"That's right... this is my original intention for drawing skill manga."

Meng Huo suddenly remembered why when readers asked him about his new comics, he almost mentioned the scope of "skill comics" without much thought—because he wanted to write a comic about pursuing and dreaming.

Skill, no matter what kind of skill it is, this kind of comics will have the persistence and pursuit of dreams, the feeling of desperately pursuing the ultimate and dreams, he wants to experience it again.

"Ah... so it is so... so it is so..." Meng Huo stopped in the middle of the stage and suddenly smiled—this sudden smile choked the entire Phoenix Hall, and immediately, several girls in the front row of the auditorium screamed. shouted.

"So handsome!"

"Take a picture, this shot is amazing!"

The reporters immediately asked the cameramen to take a picture of this scene. This is He Xi's most beautiful smile since he appeared on stage. Although it is not a very conspicuous smile, it is the most natural one from his heart.

It's a pity that this smile was only short-lived and disappeared immediately, and no one took a picture of it. Xia Chuan, who was peeking backstage, was really dazed: "Brother just laughed? Why?"

It was rare for her to see such a natural smile on Meng Huo's face, especially on the stage, it was something she couldn't see at all. Alice frowned. Thinking of Meng Huo's words just now, she felt a doubt in her heart—"Could it be that Meng Huo discovered his problem? No way?"

However, she guessed right, Meng Huo discovered his original intention of drawing cartoons. The reason why he wanted to draw art comics was because he began to lose interest in comics, and in order to prevent this from happening, he instinctively wanted to get back the feeling of 'dream' back then.

And the best way to get back the feeling is undoubtedly to draw a comic full of fighting spirit and dreams, and experience that feeling again.

"It's been too long, I've come so far..." On the stage, looking at the auditorium full of audience, Meng Huo knew in his heart that the long hours of work were eroding his enthusiasm. The 'burnout period'.

On the road of comics, this will be the most terrifying enemy Meng Huo has encountered. He will not lose to others, but can easily lose to himself.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't draw comics. I don't have to worry about my mother anymore. The comics industry in this world has also entered a stable period. Even without me, it can develop smoothly and healthily."

Meng Huo thought so, he can get away now, he can do other things, he is still young, he can do anything.

The temptation is so great, but if so...

"I lost the manga."

After struggling for several years, Meng Huo didn't want this ending. He got nothing but money, and even his love for comics disappeared. He knew very well that if he didn't do anything, he would quickly think about it and turn away.

But now he still has a chance, his enthusiasm has not been completely extinguished, and he still has a chance to fight with his future self!

"I changed my mind, "Soul of Chess" will be released in two weeks."

Meng Huo raised his eyebrows, his words were startling.

"Also..." Regardless of the dead silence of the venue, he turned to look at the piano on the stage, and said, "I wanted to play for "Soul of Chess" today, but I might as well just forget about it now and wait until the night it is officially released. I will hold a release celebration in Ninghai and play it live for everyone.”

"This is my willfulness, are you okay?" Meng Huo asked the dumbfounded Xu Jing, Xu Jing looked at him in surprise, frowned, then loosened his brows again, and said with a wry smile: "No problem, I will Prepare a place for you."

He hadn't seen Meng Huo make such a willful request recently, but Meng Huo at this moment reminded Xu Jing of the scene when the child strongly demanded to release the animation "Little Fairy".

Xu Jing decided to obey Meng Huo's decision again.

"Interesting, there was a celebration party on the night when the manga was released." He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "This kid has already confirmed that "Soul of Chess" will be a success. It seems that I have to re-evaluate this manga."

Although he thought it was unlikely, Xu Jing believed that Meng Huo would not be aimless.

And just when he was thinking like this, the audience at the scene realized one after another. After realizing that He Xi had released the new manga a few weeks earlier, and there was going to be a celebration party, the ceiling of the venue would be exploded with cheers. opened! (to be continued)
