Chapter 197: Team leader’s expectations

   said it was smoking, but everyone in the editorial department knows that these are just rhetoric. The two of them must have gone to the reception room and carefully considered the name.

But there is no way to envy, after all, it is someone else's manuscript, and the editor-in-chief also attaches great importance to this work, which makes the starting point of this work much higher than ordinary works.

Hook took the name, went to the reception room, took out the name, and read it carefully from the first page.

After seeing the last page, Hook was lost in thought.

Wang Wenhong did not dare to speak out, and his eyes never left Hook.

After about five or six minutes of silence, Hook stood up and walked out of the reception room. After a while, he came in with two cups of coffee.

"What do you think?" Hook asked rhetorically.

"Uh...I think it's pretty good on the whole, but after reading it I always feel a little weird, and my heart is not quite at ease... not stable." Wang Wenhong said with some worry.

"I know how you feel, but I don't think the same as you." Hook took off his glasses, took out his handkerchief, and wiped his lenses.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Wang Wenhong asked back.

"I don't think it's cool enough."

"Eh?"

"In the second episode, there is a plot where Jin Tengguang and Shi Liang compete in Go. From the mouths of other people, readers can easily judge that Shi Liang has a high level of strength among his peers, but he lost to Jin Tengguang. Readers usually think about issues from the perspective of the protagonist. This is the sense of substitution of the work. Therefore, the protagonist wins and the reader's mood will be happy.

"The first three words of a work are considered the most important part of a comic, because readers will judge the direction of a work based on the first three words of the comic. If the purpose of this comic is to please readers, there can be only one'cool point'. The first three words should be just the opening topic, not what Teacher Shen really wants to draw."

Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin, "However, I think the rhythm of this comic will be fast. First, the identity of Shi Liang is raised, and the protagonist will take action in the next moment, defeating Shi Liang, reflecting Zuwei's strength from the side. Moreover, In the third chapter, Zuo Wei also tried a small knife and broke a chess game with a casual move. This should also be a plot that readers like...I can't figure out what Teacher Shen will do next."

Hook folded his arms around his chest, pondered for a moment, and shook his head again, "It's hard to tell. Just looking at the three-character name, you still can't tell the trend of the story... "The Soul of the Game" is not the same as the work you usually see. There are many possibilities behind it. . However, it should be okay to pass serialization."

"By the way, Teacher Shen also made a request. He is going to the Go Dojo to collect materials and looking for a professional chess player as a consultant. Therefore, even if it passes, it will take one or two months before it can be published." Wang Wenhong reminded.

"Huh?" Hook was taken aback, and immediately read the name again, suddenly realized, and murmured, "This is not a comic that sells'cool'. Otherwise, Teacher Shen would not be able to make such a high request. I am now I'm very interested in "Hireki", and I really want to know the next trend of the story... Xiao Wang, I want to discuss something with you."

"Ok?"

"How about letting "Soul of Chess" be given to me?" Hook wiped his beard with one hand and smiled wretchedly.

"..."

Wang Wenhong opened his mouth, and after listening for about five or six seconds, his mouth moved slightly.

Although Wang Wenhong didn't say anything, Hook could tell from the shape of his mouth what Wang Wenhong wanted to say-go.

There are many differences between large magazines and small magazines, and submitting serial works is one of them.

Magazines like "newworld" and "dreamer" do not have a team leader. The serialization meeting usually involves the editor in charge and the editor in chief decide to serialize the work, but "icfuture" is different. The editor in charge will first meet with the team leader after getting the name. Discuss, and then submit it to other team leaders and those who want to attend the meeting. After reviewing, they wrote comments on the back of the envelope before participating in the serialization meeting.

After Hook put away his name, he went to the other team leaders and asked them to review the first three chapters of "Soul of Go".

The other team leaders also know that the editor-in-chief attaches great importance to this work, so they have spared time to read the name of "Hire of the Game".

Although Jian Xiaomei is also curious, as the editor in charge, she cares more about the quality of "The Hunting Abyss".

After Ye Hexu informed her to pick up the manuscript, she knocked on the studio door as soon as possible.

Walking to Ye Hexu's side, before Jian Xiaomei could speak, Ye Hexu took off the earphones.

"The name of the latest story is hanging out in the corner of the wall."

"Oh." Jian Xiao nodded slightly, put the dried manuscript away in order and stuffed it into the envelope, "What about the name of the next sentence?"

Ye Hexu opened the drawer on one side, took out another envelope, and handed it to Jian Xiaomei.

Jian Xiaomei pulled up a chair and read the latest name carefully.

"The Hunting Abyss" has been drawn for more than a year, and after the story unfolded, it has gradually improved. The protagonist who won the title of "Hunter" entered the abyss and showed his own strength. The storyboard of the big monster made the readers hooked.

But the name of the latest episode has a different plot. After hunting and killing a hunter, a monster unexpectedly entered the hunter's body, thereby controlling his will, and leaving with the other hunters. Hunting area.

Seeing this, Jian Xiaomei can almost be sure that the story of "Hunting the Abyss" will soon enter the second stage.

The corpse controlled by the monster leaves the hunting area, and the direction of the story will become confusing.

Whether this monster was discovered by other hunters and then killed, or mixed into the crowd and caused other events, it is impossible for anyone to know until the next name appears.

Jian Xiaomei suddenly became curious about the next story.

"YeLaoshi~lightnovelpub.net~The story of the next episode of "The Hunting Abyss" seems to change in style."

"It hasn't changed too much, right? There is a foreshadowing." Ye Hexu explained.

"Recently, "Hunting Abyss" has remained in third place. If it changes rashly, I am not sure if it is good or bad." Jian Xiao said with frowning.

"Well, Jian Xiaomei, do you think I can always stay in third place?" Ye Hexu turned to look at Jian Xiaomei.

"It should not be possible." Jian Xiao shook his head.

"That's it, it's better to make a change and rush for the first place." Ye Hexu chuckled lightly.

"First place? That's "The Legend of the Dragon King"." Jian Xiao said with surprise.

"I know, but I have a chance too, right?" Ye Hexu asked back, "By the way, you said the name of Teacher Shen's new comic will also be released a few days ago, right? How about it?"

"I didn't read it. I only know that it is related to Go, and the team leaders have a very high evaluation." Jian Xiaomei explained.

"I really hope that Mr. Shen can publish the cartoon soon. "ys" suddenly stopped, making people feel very boring." Ye Hexu stretched his waist and said boringly, "However, Mr. Shen is really a tough one. It is really good to choose Go. Is it? If it’s a love comic, I can still understand some, but Go is really niche."

Jian Xiaomei also shook his head helplessly. Although Shen Xin has won the "Newcomer Award", in the face of areas that readers are not familiar with, can Shen Xin really create miracles?

She also felt puzzled in her heart.
