Chapter 1126: Long talk
text
The wine and food were served, and Wang Wenhong took the wine jug, filled the wine cup for the four people, and then sat back to his seat.
The four of them toasted and drank.
Wang Wenhong was full of wine again, and Tachibana held up his glass, "Mr. Shen, there were some misunderstandings between us at the beginning, which led to some minor problems in cooperation. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly eliminated, and the results of "" were improved. The cause of this incident lies with me, and I apologize to Teacher Shen."
Reaching out his hand and not hitting the smiling man, since Tachibana took the initiative to take the blame, Shen Xin would look too stingy if he pursued it any more, so he raised the wine cup and drank with Tachibana again.
Two glasses of wine in a row, not to mention that the previous matter will be canceled, but at least for a short period of time, Shen Xin will not mention it again.
"We didn't expect Teacher Shen to accept our invitation." Murakami said.
"Uh...I have been busy before. After all, at the beginning of the comics, if the attention is too distracted, it will indeed affect the results." Shen Xin smiled lightly.
"Yes. The results of "" have stabilized recently, which is good." Murakami took a sip again, frowned slightly, but glanced at Tachibana Sen.
"Ahem... That's it. I heard from Teacher Shen that the reason why "" was not produced until the year before last was because if the animation project was started the year before, the end of the comics of "" would be about the same as the end of the animation... I don't know. Does Mrs. Shen change his mind now? After all, the results of "" are so good... If you serialize for another four or five years, you may not be able to surpass "The Gate of Eternal Life"." Tachibana sighed slightly and hesitated to say the future. .
After Wang Wenhong translated Tachibana's words, his eyes fell on Shen Xin.
Achievements and the length of comics have always been entangled with cartoonists. Sometimes, the initiative is not in the hands of cartoonists, but in the hands of magazines.
Magazines, especially like "Young Leap", a large-scale comic magazine with a contract exclusive system, the right to be in charge of editors far exceeds ordinary people's imagination. Even authors who have achieved a little bit of success still cannot face their own editors. Determine everything.
Take "" as an example, whenever a manga artist is changed, even if it is Uematsuno or Ryoto Yamagishi, the length of this manga will be extended.
The average volume is more than 2 million. If you mix in the comics circle, it is impossible not to know the horror of this achievement.
There are more than one million manga volumes, which is not too many in the 11 districts. Basically, a large magazine will have several copies. Once the volume exceeds two million volumes, it is not too many even if it is "Young Leap".
In particular, this kind of achievement is even more rare when the paper comic market is sluggish.
The problem now is that Shen Xin is not their cartoonist, and the length of the comics is not their family's final say-if ICfuture does not agree to the extension, they will be fine.
But... this kind of comics with sales, even in "icfuture", should be one of the best, right? They should also feel heartache.
Of course, the crux of the problem lies in the fact that the contract is written clearly in black and white, and they have no right to interfere with the length of "", that is, Shen Xin has the right to decide on the length of the comic.
"Oh, you said this... next year is over." Shen Xin took a bite of fish and said casually.
Wang Wenhong sighed. It was true, but the translation was given to Murakami and Tachibana.
"what?"
Murakami Toru and Tachibana sang in surprise.
"No, sir, please think carefully." Tachibana Shen put his hands on the table, straightened his body, looking at Shen Xin, his face flushed, almost begging.
"Then of course, why do you think I forced to release the animation in the winter show? Time is delayed. Even if the animation is made, the comics are over and their usefulness is limited." Shen Xin looked at Tachibana sullenly.
Sentence Tachibana opened his mouth when he heard Shen Xin's words, and did not say it for a while.
He only now knows why Shen Xin insisted on serializing in the winter. If the anime is released in the summer or fall season according to the original entry, the manga may be over shortly after the animation is released.
"But..." Tachibana Shen looked anxious, but his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't speak.
It is a pity that a work with such a good sales volume is facing the end. More importantly, after the end of "", the sales of "Shoun Leap" is bound to decline, which is the most headache for Tachibana.
Unless, find a comic that can replace "". However, if the sales and popular comics like "" are easy to find, he will not be so accommodating to Shen Xin.
"Then...what about Mr. Shen's next manga?" Murakami immediately skipped "" and looked at Shen Xin's next manga.
Although he didn't communicate much with Shen Xin, it was Wang Wenhong who acted as an intermediary to complete the exchanges, but the cooperation between the two parties was practical and he had some understanding of Shen Xin.
"Soul of the Game", "Steel Refining" and "dn" are all excellent products, and "" is not to mention ~lightnovelpub.net~ So far, "" is one of the best in sports cartoons. If the serialization time is longer, it may be the best sports comic.
"Uh...I haven't thought about it yet. Mr. Murakami, after all, "" is not over yet, should we postpone it for the time being about the next comic?" Shen Xin shook his head.
Even if there are many comics in his mind, it will take some time to choose.
What's more, he is not a robot, his physical strength is not as good as his twenties, and he still needs rest.
"Or, let's confirm the contract for the lower work first?" Murakami said again.
"Eh?"
Wang Wenhong was a little surprised. Even Tachibana squire didn't expect Murakami to say that.
But Murakami did this for his own reasons. "dn" was not serialized on "Shoun Leap", and he has been worried about it until now.
Although there are only 7 copies of "dn", "dn" is serialized on the Internet, and the pamphlet can still break through 1.5 million copies, indicating that if it is published on "Young Leap", the pamphlet will be at least 2 million copies as the base.
"Uh……"
Shen Xin was also a little embarrassed after hearing what Murakami said.
Whether "dn", "Steel Refining", or "", on Earth, the volumes of these three comics all exceed 2 million volumes.
If you take into account the difference of the times, he can only paint a few works such as "The Giant" and "The Pirate". "Naruto" wants to be drawn, and the background needs to be greatly changed. He is not sure what results will be achieved by then.
If Murakami had the idea that the lower manga could exceed 2 million copies, he would probably be disappointed.
"Are you really not sure about this after the new book comes out?"
"Shall we at least communicate? Even if the new book is not published, we can reach a consensus first." Murakami explained.
