Chapter 701: Stunning

Of course, the battle between cartoonists is behind the scenes, so I won’t talk about it here for the time being.

Time has not been waiting for anyone. I am most worried about "Chess Soul" launching three episodes in the next issue of "Weekly Boy". The one who is most worried is that the employees of Ninghai's youth editorial department - the media outside believe that Phoenix Company will not lie, but the original manuscript of "Chess Soul" is still missing!

For new works by ordinary cartoonists, a manuscript of more than three chapters must be provided for serial review alone. When the trailer and serialization starts, the number of manuscripts in the editorial department will be more. He Xi is not an ordinary comic, but he wants to release three chapters at once, but he has not provided the manuscripts when the trailer is released. Of course, the Young Editorial Department is under great pressure.

"Is Teacher He Xi OK?"

"A person draws the original manuscript of three episodes in two weeks, probably not intentionally showing off his strength, right?"

The editors were very worried, and Ye Xiong also deliberately returned to Ninghai and made some magazine changes for the smooth launch of "Weekly Boy" next week. His level of worry was no less than that of other people.

"If Teacher He Xi cannot hand over the original manuscript two days before the release, I will go to Jidong for a trip."

Ye Xiong thought so, and then in the second week, two days before the release of "Weekly Boy" the original manuscript was still not handed over. Ye Xiong began to prepare the air ticket - but when he notified Meng Huo, Meng Huo stopped him.

"I'll send you the original manuscript tomorrow."

He said this, Meng Huo had almost completed the original manuscript of the first three chapters, mainly because it took some time to play the chess game later. Once the psionic horsepower was opened, the speed of drawing comics was not difficult for him.

Ye Xiong felt at ease. Then one morning, the editorial department received the original manuscript sent from Tokyo. Although the manuscript could be transmitted through the Internet, Meng Huo seemed to feel more at ease to send someone here.

Strangely, just as the manuscript reached Ye Xiong's hands and before he could read it, Alice suddenly appeared in his office.

"Alice, when did you come back?" Ye Xiong was very surprised. Shouldn't Alice be on Comic Island? Why did she suddenly return to Ninghai?

"I came back yesterday." Alice smiled. She returned to Ninghai yesterday, and happened to do a few things: "I just heard someone say that Meng Huo's original manuscript has arrived. How about it, have you read it?"

Ye Xiong shook his head: "Before you have time to see it, do you want to see it too? If you don't mind... you sit down first and wait, I'll give it to you after watching..."

Alice is Xu Jing's daughter, which is no longer a secret in Ye Xiong's mind. According to his identity within the company, he should show her the original manuscript first. And even if he doesn't mention his identity, it is a ritual for women to give it to him - but Ye Xiong is too curious about this new comic and he doesn't want to give it to others.

This may be the most difficult comic that He Xi has ever painted. Can he deal with the limitations of the subject matter? This made Ye Xiong very worried. Fortunately, Alice didn't have much temper with a young lady, so she nodded and sat down in Ye Xiong's office.

Ye Xiong opened the thick original packaging and started to read the first three chapters of "The Soul of Chess". Alice played with her phone, then felt a little thirsty, so she got up and went outside to get a glass of water. When she came back, she glanced her eyes and was attracted by Ye Xiong's expression.

His expression was very strange when he was reading the comic. At first he was confused, then he suddenly realized, then calmed down, then frowned, then his eyes widened, his face began to turn red... Then he became more and more red, and his breathing gradually became louder.

"Is he so exaggerated in reading comics?"

Alice was startled by Ye Xiong's expression. She had never seen this editor-in-chief's expression before, and even made her feel a little flirty - reminding her of the expressions of some boys secretly watching physiological exercise movies in college.

"What exactly did Meng Huo draw?"

She thought so, and then quietly withdrew from Ye Xiong's office. Outside the office, Sun Yang, who is now in charge of the editorial director of "Weekly Boy", looked at Alice strangely and asked her how she got in and out again.

Alice told him Ye Xiong's performance.

"What? The editor-in-chief has these expressions?" Sun Yang was shocked, then stunned again, and said happily: "It's great. It seems that there is no need to worry about the quality of "Soul of Chess"!"

"What does it mean?" Alice frowned.

"The editor-in-chief occasionally gets addicted to the comics that match the taste, and then he can't stop his expression." Sun Yang smiled and said, "This is a very rare thing. There are not many comics from Mr. He Xi that make him forget his spirits so much. "The Soul of Chess" is not only of good quality, but also must have met the editor-in-chief's taste."

Alice was surprised and it suited her taste? It turned out that Ye Xiong actually likes Go comics? Why haven't you heard of it?

But it seemed that it was not a bad thing. After thinking about it, Alice turned around and walked in again. In a few minutes, Ye Xiong inside finished reading the original manuscript of the three chapters - the speed was faster than he reviewed the manuscript in the past.

"How about "Soul of Chess"?"

Alice asked, seeing Ye Xiong's expression gradually returned to normal, but there was still a hint of rosy on her face.

"It's perfect and amazing. Teacher He Xi is simply a genius. Go comics can be drawn so well with readers. It reminds me of the first time I saw "Detective Conan"." Ye Xiong smiled and said, "No, it surprised me even more than "Detective Conan"!"

Alice was stunned: "You said "Soul of Chess" is better than "Detective Conan"?"

"No, no...I'm not talking about the quality of the two." Ye Xiong shook his head quickly. The status of "Detective Conan" is difficult to challenge. He dare not comment on which of the quality of the two comics is higher and lower. This has to be verified by the market. So far, he still feels that the possibility of "Chess Soul" surpassing "Detective Conan".

Ye Xiong added, "I don't comment on the content of both. I mean, Mr. He Xi has adapted the readers of Go very well, which is more surprising than his expansion of detective comics..."

After watching "Soul of Chess", Ye Xiong felt that his worldview had become subverted. He couldn't tell the difference between what is the public and what is a niche. He never thought that an unpopular subject could be drawn so simply. "Soul of Chess" did not require any Go knowledge to be appreciated.

At this point, "Detective Conan" is not as good as "Chess Soul". After all, the difficulty of reading detective comics is not high, so it is not surprising that the public likes it.
