Chapter 693: Disappointment

The Phoenix Pavilion meeting is being broadcast on the forum.

The sudden appearance of the video page on the home page also surprised the members of the forum, but after seeing the content clearly, everyone was excited. They could still know the news about He Xi’s new work at the first time without attending the carnival, which made fans happy.

After the news spread, many people came to the forum to watch it as soon as possible.

The two leaders of Phoenix Company, one old and one young, have already delivered speeches on the stage to the closing ceremony and announced the first content of the opening ceremony - He Xixin comics, which were in a hot spot a while ago, have determined the final theme.

"It's indeed a new comic!"

Whether it is the guild hall or the outside world, everyone opened their eyes wide and waited for Meng Huo to personally reveal the true face of the new work.

After the opening ceremony speech, Xu Jing sat down on the chair and handed the stage to Meng Huo alone.

However, before Meng Huo revealed it, an accident happened. In the posters that were moved to the stage, there was a black cloth with a poster drawing board that seemed to deviate from the center of gravity when it was moving. Suddenly, Meng Huo slid down when he approached, leaving the poster inside exposed.

“…”

The sudden change stunned the audience in the club and the fans in front of the computer.

The audience was silent for two seconds, and immediately, the audience in the front row stood up and looked at the poster, and the reporters' camera lenses were also aimed at the drawing board.

Xu Jing, who was sitting on the stage, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It seems you don't need to say anything."

Meng Huo looked helplessly at the exposed poster. The content of the poster was set against a Go and there were several comic characters standing in front of it. Even if you don’t know who these people are, the background can show the theme of the new comic.

"Go? God. This is Go!"

"I must be dazzled. Teacher He Xi actually wants to draw a Go comic!?"

"How could it be Go? This is too difficult, how can you draw it!"

There was a noise inside and outside the guild. The unexpected theme made many fans seem restless and excited. For some people who were originally competing for the new comics, this was an answer that no one could imagine.

"Go!? Not a sports? It's actually a chess and card comic!?"

Many people in the sports industry were shocked. Although He Xi mentioned the category of chess and card in the previous range, most people still believe that he would definitely choose sports. The audience of sports comics is much larger than that of chess and card categories, and the competition in sports is fierce, which can better stimulate readers' desire to read.

"Impossible! How could he choose chess and cards? Where is this kind of thing that cannot be entered into the lobby?"

Liu Yurong seemed quite puzzled. Like many other people in the sports world, he despised chess and card things from the bottom of his heart. Since modern times, chess and card games have become entertainment games, and it is difficult to be elegant. Drawing chess and card comics can easily make people look down on the identity of a cartoonist.

Of course, chess is an exception, as for Go... Liu Yurong doesn't understand this, but it seems to be different from those popular modern chess and card games on the market. It is something with historical origins, and He Xi draws Go comics. It can also ensure a high style.

"But it's still very literary..."

Liu Yurong frowned. Even if he could enter the elegant hall, would such literary things still be charming in comics? Before that, he seemed to have never seen Go works - whether it was novels or TV series, or even TV shows.

Go, in his memory, is it something that only existed in ancient times. Is this thing comparable to sports?

"It's just a mess!" Liu Yurong thought so. He didn't know that at a dining table in Yanjing, the president of the basketball association also received the news. The president's face turned pale and cursed: "This He Xi is really inexplicable!"

The president of the Football Association sat next to him and sneered: "Are you stunned? I said you're making a big deal, Go comics... I think that cartoonist is not a great person if you can make this choice!"

"You still want to give him 400 million, and I won't pay the four dollars if I change it to me!"

The reason why these three big names in the sports world are so unpopular is because they don’t think Go can draw good comics at all - not only them, but even people in the chess and card world also have the same view.

On the He Xizhi Home Forum, a member certified as a famous Chinese chess player posted with anger.

"Go? Why is Go? Teacher He Xi's choice is so disappointing. What can I draw Go? The competition between black and white and square, and how many people can understand it? It's not as simple and exciting as chess!"

This is why Liu Yurong and the others are not optimistic about it, and it is also a matter that shocks many fans. The competition of chess and cards is generally simple and clear, like chess: each piece has a different meaning, and then the game can be understood clearly. This is a very important thing.

Not only chess, military chess, poker, mahjong, and even other chess and card games, they must surpass Go in simple and easy-to-understand and expressive performance of the game. The Go board is a grid with no text, and the chess pieces are black and white pieces. When playing, readers cannot see the whole picture clearly.

In fact, the rules of Go are very simple, but it is difficult to understand chess. The Go board is very large. People who have a certain understanding of Go but do not have a deep understanding of Go can only see the simplest scenes, but the real chess situation is not understood - unlike chess, the situation is clear at a glance.

Few readers in this world know about Go. In addition, Go viewing requirements are high. Together, the audience of Go comics adds up, which is really a niche among the niches. Many people know that this is the niche theme of comics that He Xi has painted since his debut.

"Teacher He Xi is so bold!"

"It's a pity that I can't understand Go..."

"Why do you want to draw such a professional comic? Is Mr. He Xi still good at Go?"

In the Phoenix Hall, Meng Huo scanned the venue. He had not spoken yet, but the faces displayed by the audience in the venue after the noise were no exception were either doubts or disappointments. However, he had already knew this scene. "The Soul of Chess" had not been released yet. For these readers, they would definitely not be able to imagine how it would be expressed.

Meng Huo is the only person who knows it. The theme of this comic seems to be far away from it. However, whether you can play Go and whether you can understand it is of little significance to "Chess Soul".

If you want to say why, the simplest example is him. He doesn't know how to play Go, and he still can't play after watching "The Soul of Chess", but this does not affect his liking at all. Moreover, Meng Huo dares to swear that among the ten people who liked the Soul of Chess in his previous life, no one could really play chess.

So, he picked up the microphone and said in front of the audience full of regrets: "As everyone saw, the new comic has been decided to be a Go comic. Of course, I believe everyone is very strange and disappointed... Not many of you should be able to play Go, and they are not interested in Go, right?"

There was a response immediately below the stage, and many people shouted to ask Meng Huo to change his mind. Go was really not a subject that everyone liked.

Meng Huo thought for a while: "I rarely consider other people's preferences when I draw comics... Let me ask you one thing, before "Detective Conan" was released, would anyone think they would like a detective comic?"

He looked at the audience and dozens of people shouted at him.

"Well, I didn't think there were so many detective fans before." Meng Huo smiled bitterly, and then asked: "Before "Chong Yi" was released, would anyone believe that an animation that caught and fought in chong Yi became the hottest animation in China?"

This time, the audience was noisy for a while, and more than a dozen people behind him said they believed it.

"You are smarter than CCTV!"

Meng Huo shook his head, and many people burst into laughter. To be honest, before "The Elf" came out, if someone told them that an animation with this theme would become the number one in China, then no one would believe it.

The restlessness in the audience gradually became smaller, and fans already understood what Meng Huo meant - this Go comic is a comic that will be unexpected like "Detective Conan" and "Chong Elf". (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
