Chapter 253 Recommendations

"What's the situation now?" Shen Xin asked.

"Orochi and Murakami are here, and the people from Longyao's side are still on their way." Wang Wenhong put the materials on the table, thought for a while and explained, "Orochi and Murakami live in a hotel, so it's easy to gather. Longyao wants It will meet with the person in charge of the TV station and Xiangrui Technology, so it will be a little later."

Shen Xin nodded.

Wang Wenhong seemed to be explaining the reason why Long Yao didn't come, but in his words he pointed out the identities of the meeting attendees.

Shen Xin didn't care too much, he basically had no contact with these people, so he didn't have too many scruples.

At this time, the landline on the table rang.

Wang Wenhong quickly connected the phone, and after answering twice, put down the phone.

"Longyao's people have arrived at the parking lot, shall we go to the conference room now?"

"OK."

Shen Xin nodded. If possible, he would like to settle the matter of animation production as soon as possible, so that he can go back and continue drawing manga.

The plot of "Soul of Chess" is getting better and better, and he can't relax when it's about to produce results.

The editors in the editorial department looked at Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong who walked out of the room, their eyes were full of envy.

The comic "Soul of Chess" is co-produced by two top animation production companies in District 11 and Huaxia... This kind of treatment, even "The Legend of the Dragon King" can't do it.

But "Soul of Chess" does have capital. The four volumes sold nearly 800,000 copies in the 11th district in a single week. It is difficult for other Chinese comics to achieve such a good result when they are first released in the 11th district.

Shen Xin followed Wang Wenhong up the stairs, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the editors seemed to gather around and read the manuscripts just now—are there a lot of people who have submitted manuscripts recently?"

"Did you forget about the 'Newcomer Short Story Contest'?" Wang Wenhong asked.

Shen Xin scratched her head, he had more than forgotten, this matter hadn't entered his mind at all. "

"How is it? Are there any good newcomers?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"Of course there is. But it's hard to say how high it will reach in the end. After all, long stories and short stories are still different." Wang Wenhong said helplessly, "Although the editorial department really wants to release newcomers as soon as possible, I think it's best for newcomers to be published sooner rather than later." Sharpen it. They just have potential, but they don't have the strength to hit the 'Newcomer Award'."

Shen Xin has never seen the works of newcomers, so it is not easy to comment, but he really wants to see comics that make people's eyes shine.

The meeting room of "ic future" has glass walls on both sides, and the scenery of Hongchuan city can be seen outside.

In the middle of the conference hall, there is a circular red round table. Under the refraction of the sunlight, there is a feeling of reflection. In the middle ring, there are some green plants, which are lush and lush. In the conference room, Very eye-catching.

Shen Xin followed Wang Wenhong into the conference room and looked around. The room was based on black and white, giving it an elegant feeling.

Bao Jiyi's style is not bad.

Shen Xin thought in her heart.

When the two came to the conference hall, there were already five people sitting in the seats. Besides Bao Ji, Shen Xin also knew Yokoi and Murakami.

After being introduced by Bao Jiyi, Shen Xin knew that among the remaining two people, the older one was the president of Orochi, Fukuda Kungbu, and the middle-aged man with glasses was the translator, Hikari Oi.

After introducing each other,

Futian was surprised, apparently he did not expect Shen Xin to be so young.

After Shen Xin said hello, she sat on the outer seat.

At this moment, Shang Haozhi opened the door and came in, followed by five people, three of whom were shareholders of Longyao, and the other two were persons in charge of the TV station and Xiangrui Technology.

These five people also saw Shen Xin for the first time, and they were also surprised by Shen Xin's age, and then they showed enthusiasm.

Such a young cartoonist has a better future than those old cartoonists. If you build a good relationship now, you will avoid a lot of trouble in the future.

After shaking hands with Shen Xin warmly, Long Yaofang's people also sat in their seats.

Bao Jiyi looked around at the people who sat down, and after confirming that they were all present, he said: "Yesterday, everyone reached a consensus on most of the cooperation, but in some places, there are still some differences. For this reason, we will also Teacher Shen, please come over and discuss with everyone, and strive to find a result that satisfies everyone. Teacher Shen, the current situation is like this. The two companies have differences in the length of animation production. Long Yao hopes to produce a 13-episode season. And orochi hopes to make a year.

"You are the author of "Soul of Chess", and your understanding of "Soul of Chess" must surpass everyone present here. I would like to ask, which one do you think is more suitable?"

Long Yao and the person in charge of Orochi turned their heads to look at Shen Xin.

"My choice... half a year." Shen Xin's words seemed to be spoken without thinking.

Wang Wenhong was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Shen Xin's suggestion to be "half a year".

Mr. Shen, this is not a multiple-choice question, there is no need to use the method of elimination.

After listening to Oi's translation, Futian nodded slightly without any change in expression, while the three heads of Longyao felt a little headache.

The two animations produced by Long Yao will only be screened next month. It will take some time for the funds to flow back, and there is still a not-so-small gap in the money lost by the animations. At this time, to produce another high-quality semi-annual show—even with the support of the TV station and Xiangrui, the pressure is still great.

"Mr. Shen, is there any reason for you to do this?" the person in charge of the TV station asked.

"Yes." Shen Xin nodded and said seriously, "As an author, of course I hope to be able to produce a series of comics. After all, the longer the animation is played, the better the sales of comics. But now "Soul of Chess" has only published more than 40 episodes. , The content can’t support the year. At that time, you probably have to use the original plot again... Let me put it this way, I hate the original plot in the animation, it will slow down the rhythm of the animation.”

Oi translated Shen Xin's words into Japanese, Fukuda raised his mouth, but did not make a sound.

The person in charge of the TV station also agreed with Shen Xin's words.

The comics are very popular, and most of the animations with a bad reputation are dragged down by the original plots. Only a very small number of original plots of animations can maintain a good quality.

"Then why can't we make 13 episodes?" Long Yao's general manager asked quickly.

"Episode 13... Have you watched "Soul of Chess"?" Shen Xin asked.

The general manager nodded. After deciding to make an animation of "Soul of Chess", he took the time to read the booklet of "Soul of Chess".

"You have a lot of experience in making animation. If you make 13 episodes of animation, which episode will it end in?"

"It should be... Xiaoguang's first loss to Xiaoliang, right?" the general manager said.

"It's the same as I thought. But if it ends in this place, readers will have a sense of frustration. After all, Xiaoguang lost the game. We hope that animation can attract audiences and make them readers of "Soul of the Game", thereby driving the sales of comics, Instead of making the audience feel that after watching the animation, they are not in the mood to read the manga again.

"Therefore, I think the end of the animation should give the audience a sense of expectation. For example, Xiaoguang passes the dojo test, or begins to officially play Go." Shen Xin explained.
