Chapter 336: Difficulties

"Little book... the little book is out."

Hook shouted, and the editors in the magazine immediately opened the mailbox.

"How? Who is number one?" Xu Jie asked curiously.

""Soul of Chess", it has won several first places in a row before, and this story is over again, it should be able to win the first place."

"I feel that "Soul of Chess" has broken the record of "Comicfuture" in some respects." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

Jian Xiaomei just wanted to refute, but felt that Wang Wenhong's words were also reasonable.

If the length of the manga is limited to 200 chapters, "Soul of Chess" is estimated to be the manga that won the most first place in the book.

"This shows that Mr. Shen's choice is not wrong. "Y's" and "Soul of Chess" are all classics." Shang Haozhi said.

"Editor-in-chief, why don't the company buy the copyright of "y's"? Teacher Shen will definitely choose to serialize it." Wang Wenhong said immediately.

"You think I don't want to?" Shang Haozhi sighed, "But they don't sell it—now the most valuable comic in "Newworld" is "Y's", and it seems that the film copyright has also been sold, and it is estimated that it will be released this year. Can't afford it at all."

Wang Wenhong twitched his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

"By the way, "Soul of Chess" is now over. We lack a leading competitive comic. You should quickly think of a way to find a higher-level competitive comic." Shang Haozhi tapped the table.

Different comic magazines have different focuses.

Some manga magazines focus on shoujo manga, so shonen manga will definitely not be published. For another example, some comic magazines focus on primary school or middle school students, and some comic magazines focus on horror comics.

But as the top three magazines in China, "comicfuture" must cover popular types of comics, and at least one work above the standard, any comic lover can find his favorite comics.

The end of "Soul of Chess" means that "comicfuture" lacks a big gap in competitive comics, and must find a way to find a replacement as soon as possible.

The editorial department looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Shang Haozhi tapped the table twice, slightly dissatisfied, turned his head to look at the deputy editor-in-chief Zeng Yue, and said in a low voice: "Zeng Yue, you should read more recent submissions."

Zeng Yue nodded, "Got it."

"Also, Wang Wenhong, what is Teacher Shen doing now?" Shang Haozhi turned to look at Wang Wenhong.

"Sleeping, reading, running... By the way, I recently got a library card." Wang Wenhong explained.

"Library card?" Shang Haozhi was surprised.

"I heard that he wanted to find ideas while reading a book. By the way, he said he wanted to read comics from our magazine that sold more than 500,000 copies." Wang Wenhong said.

"Then hurry up and look for it... Is there any stock in the warehouse?"

"Some are gone." Wang Wenhong was a little worried.

After all, some comics are out of print, and even in warehouses, it's hard to find them.

Shang Haozhi was slightly taken aback, and then rubbed his forehead, "This is indeed a problem. After all, many comics are too long and the sales are not good, so they will not be reprinted. And even if they are republished, the cost will be relatively high, and it is likely to Can’t make ends meet.”

Even for comics that were extremely popular at the time, once the time is too long, sales will decline.

Wang Wenhong curled his lips, but there was nothing he could do.

"So, in the first half of this year, your most important job is to follow Teacher Shen."

"I have other authors to follow..." Wang Wenhong reminded.

Shang Haozhi flipped through the report, "Anyway, it will be like this before the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, everything must be done, including the new competitive comics."

Zeng Yue nodded, but didn't make a sound.

At this moment, Shang Haozhi's landline rang.

Shang Haozhi picked up the microphone and said softly, "This is the editorial department."

"Old Shang, come up here."

Shang Haozhi was taken aback for a moment, he could hear Bao Jiyi's words,

And judging from Bao Jiyi's tone, it shouldn't be a good thing.

After hanging up the phone, Shang Haozhi felt a little surprised. After thinking about it, he couldn't understand it.

Why don't you ask Bao Jiyi yourself?

When he came to Bao Jiyi's office, Bao Jiyi was leaning on the boss chair, looking out of the window with a bored expression.

Hearing that the door was pushed open, Bao Jiyi turned his chair around and looked at Shang Haozhi in front of him.

"What's the matter? You called me here so urgently?" Shang Haozhi pulled the chair in front of Bao Jiyi and sat down.

"The production of the animation for the third season of "Soul of Chess" may be difficult." Bao Jiyi sighed.

"Why?" Shang Haozhi frowned slightly.

"Han National Chess Institute exerted pressure through official channels, saying that Gao Yongxia was shooting Park Yongtai. They thought it was an insult." Bao Jiyi sighed.

Originally, Park Yong-tae and Gao Yongxia had nothing to do with each other, but the Hongchuan match in December was too close to the publication time of the Beidou Cup, so it is easy to imagine.

"That's their business, what does it have to do with us?" Shang Haozhi was puzzled.

"Han Kingdom communicated their attitude to Hongchuan City through the official. At the same time, the board of directors also put pressure... some game companies in Han have also lodged negotiations. Orochi has been pressured by the 11th District Chess Institute and has given up making the third game. Ji. Long Yao is also hesitating, after all, if they only rely on their family, if they want to produce an animation of the same quality, the cost will be doubled, and it is estimated that they will lose money, so they don't want to do it alone."

No animation company is a charity. The project must make money before they are interested in following it.

"I remember you made a bet with Mr. Shen, right? You must make animations." Shang Haozhi reminded.

"Yeah! That's why I'm worried." Bao Jiyi took a breath.

At that time, she didn't know what happened, but she suddenly made a bet with Shen Xin.

"Then what do you want to do?" Shang Haozhi asked back.

"I was wondering if I could discuss it with Shen Xin and ask him to give up. For the production of an animation, there is no need to fight Han Guoqi Academy. The big deal is that when he releases a new book, we will have a review of his new book." Packaging, resources should be more inclined." Bao Jiyi asked Shang Haozhi.

"How is it tilted? Shen Xin hasn't signed the contract yet, so she is no longer our author." Shang Haozhi sneered.

"Not yet finalized?" Bao Jiyi asked in surprise.

Shang Haozhi curled his lips, and asked back: "The chairman promises nothing. How can you make him trust us, and how can we finalize his contract?"

When Bao Jiyi heard this, he put his arms around her and looked depressed.

If the contract is signed, it doesn't matter, if it's really not possible, if Shen Xin is left alone for a year, I guess he will be honest. But now that Shen Xin didn't sign the contract, it's another story.

"What should we do now? Contact Shen Xin first?" Bao Jiyi asked.

Shang Haozhi pushed the landline to Bao Jiyi, "If you contact him, I can't speak."

Bao Jiyi had black lines all over his head, and he couldn't open his mouth either.

Shen Xin did win the bet, he can't be a person who doesn't keep his word, can he?

Abandon Shen Xin... let him go to "mangafly"? It is estimated that "mangafly" will send him a pennant.

Seeing that Bao Jiyi didn't intend to pick up the phone, Shang Haozhi also fell into deep thought.

The two sat in the office blankly, and the air was quiet for 10 minutes.

In the end, Shang Haozhi suddenly said, "I have a solution, which may solve this problem."

"What way?" Bao Jiyi looked at Shang Haozhi in confusion.

"Public opinion." Shang Haozhi explained, "Our pressure mainly comes from two aspects. One, if there is pressure from official channels, and the other is the lack of animation production companies. Now, we need someone who can help us bear the pressure, and then continue It is to find a powerful animation production company.”

"Can you find it?"

"Try it first, even if it doesn't work, you can't lose anything." Shang Haozhi asked.

Bao Jiyi rubbed his chin, which seemed to make sense.

"Then shall we try?"
