Chapter 222: Do you know "The Soul of Gossip"
Xi Muhan only stayed in Hongchuan for two weeks before returning to the sea of clouds.
As for the reason—China’s senior year in high school, everyone understands it.
Before Xi Muhan went back, Shen Xin also deliberately took a long time to go to the cinema with Xi Muhan and watched a movie—Su Han's "Crime".
It’s just that the movie that was released was shot in District 11. All the names of the characters have been changed, and it is said that the plot has also been changed.
The protagonist of the story gets a prophecy-based notebook, but is taken away by senior students who have been bullying him.
Different from "Death Note", the owner of this notepad cannot be changed after the name is written. Except for the protagonist, all those who destroy the notepad will die.
The senior student enclosed the protagonist in the bathroom and beat the protagonist severely. When he took away the notebook, he tore off one of the pages. As a result, he just left the school building and a piece of glass fell off, killing the senior. Raw.
The story is roughly like this. This is only the first part of "The Punishment", and there are two remaining. The only person who knows the ending except for Su Han is Han Ye.
The manga of "Crimination" has come to the end of the second episode. At this rate, "Crimination" should be over by next year.
Think about it, time flies so fast.
Shen Xin sighed in his heart.
The final box office of "Punishment" was 200 million, and the cost was not high. Therefore, this movie can be said to be a lot of money, and it also achieved good results in 11 districts, which made many best-selling authors look jealous. .
"Short Comic Contest" can be said to be a big failure. Almost all of the published works were "x" by Ye Hexu. Only a few short stories can be published on "Shounen Future", but none of them are eligible for serialization.
Although "omifuture" did not find a newcomer, it was unexpectedly happy. The "Killer's Diary", which was not optimistic, actually won the "Best Feature Comic Award" at the "Comic Festival" and won the "Best Feature Comic Award". The comics of 2010 finally produced "fruits", and at the same time, "Crimination" also won the "Best Adaptation Award".
"Omifuture" won two awards alone and became the big winner of the comics festival. Shang Haozhi was also relieved. At the same time, at the weekly meeting, he also proposed to hold a six-month rookie contest starting in January to try to find High-quality rookie cartoonist.
During this period of time, "Soul of Go" has gradually gained popularity. In addition to its original readers, it has also successfully attracted a large number of Go fans who have never read comics. Without large-scale advertising, the sales volume of the second volume exceeded forty volumes in a single week, which made Shang Haozhi overjoyed.
For a time, the popularity of "Gossip" on the Internet surpassed many comics, and even ranked among the top five in competitive comics. However, due to the slow pace, it is temporarily not comparable to the two or three hottest comics, and the two or three comics include Haruka Tamagawa's "Slam Dunk".
"Slam Dunk" is temporarily more popular than "Hook of the Game" for many reasons.
One, basketball has a fierce confrontation, and the degree of viewing is higher than that of Go.
Secondly, readers have a strong sense of substitution. Even if most people haven't been to the stadium to watch a professional basketball game, but they have watched a class or school-level basketball game, it is easier to substitute themselves as the protagonist.
Again, the rhythm of "Slam Dunk" is very fast. In the first episode, the star of the team is beaten in the face, the second episode determines the core position of the team, and in the third episode, a training match begins with a famous school in the same county.
In addition, there are some minor routines, such as being underestimated by a foreign school and then hitting the opponent in the face.
Although it is not used many times, it has already made readers hooked.
It is said that the sales volume of the first volume of "Slam Dunk" was 10,000 copies in District 11, while the sales volume in China was 450,000 copies.
This is equivalent to the global sales of the first volume of "Slam Dunk", reaching 780,000 copies, far exceeding other competitive comics.
Other cartoonists are speechless when they see this.
The vast majority of them only have one market, but there are two for slam dunks, and their comics are not up to the level of "The Legend of the Dragon King", so even if they are envious, there is no way.
As the editor in charge of "Slam Dunk" in "mangafl", Yan Fei not only is responsible for "mangafl"'s own comics, but also studies Japanese, and then is responsible for the affairs of "Slam Dunk" in "mangafl".
Back home, Yan Fei just took out the textbook and was about to continue studying Japanese. The phone on the desktop suddenly turned on, and a message was sent to her phone.
Yan Fei glanced at the message, it turned out to be from Haruka Tamagawa, and clicked on the message incomprehensibly.
"Teacher Yan, what should I do next?"
Yan Fei was full of question marks. She didn't know how Yuchuan Haruka would send such a text message.
"what's happenin?"
"The name of the next episode can't be drawn."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Yan Fei was a little confused when she saw this sentence.
Her main task in "mangafl" is actually communication. After helping Tamagawa Haruka with the first two words, she didn't comment any more, just feedback the reader's information.
In addition, the editor in charge of Tamagawa Haruka in "Shoun Leap" did not want her to intervene more. After all, he is the real editor in charge of Tamagawa Haruka. As for Yan Fei, to say something bad, it is almost not much different from the liaison officer.
According to Yan Fei’s prompts, Tamagawa Haruka changed the names of the first two episodes, giving "Slam Dunk" a good start, and the editors of District 11 also got their insights and removed a lot of unnecessary plots, making the plot of the story very compact. , But at the same time, there is also a result-the speed of "Slam Dunk" is difficult to slow down.
"Now I feel that the speed is too fast. No matter what the protagonist’s opponent is, it basically ends in three or four episodes. If you continue to draw at this speed, "Slam Dunk" will be over by next year."
A message returned to Yan Fei's phone.
"Is it so fast?"
Yan Fei has just watched the latest "Slam Dunk", and now he is in the group stage of the county competition.
"That's right. If the protagonist wins the national championship effortlessly, I can't draw the national competition again, right? They are all old opponents, and there is not much new idea to crush it again."
Yan Fei nodded, Tamagawa Haruka was right.
"Then introduce new opponents...such as the Asian or World Championships, plus pre-match training. This can take another year or two."
This is the most basic method to continuously improve the opponent's strength.
"Mr. Taniguchi thinks so too, but the protagonist was portrayed too well in the front. I can hardly imagine how good the athletes from the strong basketball country will be."
This is another problem. Sometimes the imagination of cartoonists restricts their thinking... Wait, shouldn't this be something that the 11 district editor should solve?
Yan Fei was depressed, until Yuchuan sent two messages to ask her, she replied: "I can think of only two ways."
"any solution?"
"The first method is to separate from reality. Many of the 11 districts of competitive comics have rushed out of Asia and went to the world. In this way, even if the protagonist wins the world championship, readers can accept it."
"But Huaxia readers won't recognize it, right?"
This is the fact that the basketball in Zone 11 is really not as good as China.
Yan Fei thought so in her heart, but her finger issued a second way, "Then slow down."
"How to drop?" Tamagawa Haruka asked back.
Yan Fei thought for a while, and typed a line again: "Do you know "The Soul of Chess"?"
