The effect of "Soul of Chess" has been initially revealed.

Two more days later, the new issue of "Weekly Boy" was released. Although the serialized "Soul of Chess" was only one episode, Phoenix, which was ready, printed 300,000 copies on the basis of last week.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by this release. Was the popularity of "Soul of Chess" accidental in the first week? Can it continue further, or will it remain cold? This week's release can provide a lot of reference information.

Then, something shocked the eyes happened.

On the day of the release of "Weekly Boy", all the magazines in Ninghai, Yanjing and Tokyo were sold out. In the next two days, the 300,000 copies printed by "Weekly Boy" seemed to have not increased, and the Shicheng Sea disappeared.

There was an uproar in all walks of life, and critics couldn't sit still.

"The masterpiece! The best-selling of "The Soul of Chess" is definitely a sign of becoming a masterpiece!", "Phoenix Company is going to release another ding-high comic! And it is a Go-themed comic!?", "Teacher He Xi has not released a new comic for a year, and he didn't expect to make a shocking move!"

Phoenix Company has once again become the focus of the media. The great potential of "Chess Soul" has even led some evaluation companies to release reports that shocked the world. Among these reports, Phoenix Company's future development speed is actually among the top ten of all Chinese companies!

"We must not underestimate the potential of "Soul of Chess". He Xi has announced that it will have an animated version. Therefore, "Soul of Chess" is likely to replicate the successful experiences of "Detective Conan" and "Chong Elf". Become the pillar animation of Phoenix Company and bring huge benefits to it."

Since the release of the animated version of "Detective Conan", it has brought more than hundreds of millions of benefits to Phoenix, and its broadcasting mode without an end date can bring continuous benefits for a long time in the future, and the total value is difficult to estimate.

"Chong Elf" is even more exaggerated. The value of its peripheral and game copyright is greater than that of "Detective Conan", and the influence and sustainability of animation have also increased. It can also maintain the benefits for a long time in the future and have a higher value.

These two works are called the two major pillars of Phoenix Company, and it can even be said that any of these two works can create the third largest comic company in China. The lasting influence they bring is also familiar to every audience.

Now, the emergence of "The Soul of Chess" once again makes people see the shadow of these two movies. They are both long comics, and the serialization has been very popular from the beginning, and the news of animation has been confirmed. Who can be sure that it will not become the pillar of Phoenix's third movie?

"Zhongxia Company should be mentally prepared as soon as possible. The release time of Phoenix's next long animation will become a turning point in the advantages and disadvantages of the two companies. Now Zhongxia Company has "Flame Boy" and "Detective Sherlock", but they cannot defeat Phoenix's two long animations. If Phoenix's third animation..."

Before the release of "Detective Sherlock", the rankings of the three popular animations in China were "Chong Elf", "Detective Conan" and "Flame Boy". Now "Detective Conan" is temporarily completed, and "Detective Sherlock" is ranked behind "Flame Boy".

On the surface, Zhongxia Company currently has an absolute advantage in the animation industry. However, at this stage, no one believes that Sherlock can defeat Conan. This means that if "Detective Conan" resumes serialization, the top two of the popular Chinese animations are likely to be controlled by Phoenix, while Zhongxia occupies 3 and 4 positions.

This is not very miserable. Zhongxia Company still has an advantage in the number of animations and other aspects, and both sides can say that they are equally good.

However, what if Phoenix launches its third popular animation? The spread and influence of the animation are extremely great. If Phoenix launches its third long animation and surpasses "Flame Boy", then the top three popular animations in China will become the works of Phoenix.

No matter where the ranking is, the top three are important indicators. Once the top three are monopolized, no matter how many animations the Zhongxia company has, their influence will only be lost to Phoenix.

By that time, Phoenix Company could be as stable as Mount Tai with three animations, and Zhongxia Company would never have the chance to turn around again!

"Once three novels and popular animations succeed, Phoenix Company will be invincible! Unless there is a small unexpected situation such as civil strife and social unrest, even if all the cartoonists are exposed, these three animations can maintain Phoenix's survival."

This is the future prospect of Phoenix Company and is bright. Animation is the commanding heights of the comics industry. Once Zhongxia Company loses its position on the commanding heights, no matter how hard it struggles and works, its influence will be further and further away by Phoenix Company until it is completely abandoned.

"The only chance in Zhongxia is now!"

Several evaluation companies came to the same conclusion: Zhongxia Company wants a future, and the only chance that it will be now, this year! After this year, "Detective Conan" will return. If Zhongxia does not make much progress, its future will be in danger.

"Before the return of "Detective Conan", Zhongxia Company must ensure that an animation can surpass it and rank China's second highest level. Only in this way can it be possible that Phoenix will not be ranked in the top three."

As soon as these evaluation reports were released, many people were upset. This was the first time that people saw Zhongxia faced difficulties, and it was also the first time that there were so many evaluation companies so unfavorable to Zhongxia Company.

Of course, the reports also caused a stir in Zhongxia Company. Some people thought they were all nonsense, but more people felt pressured - no one, including shareholders, could ignore these reports.

"Those reports are correct, time is not on us. Phoenix's "One Piece" has always been a time bomb. Mr. Dong, we asked you out so quickly last year, and you also know the reason why "One Piece" is there."

When a shareholder called Dong Ding, he mentioned "One Piece". In fact, earlier than the media and the evaluation of the company, the shareholders of Zhongxia Company had already discovered the danger - "One Piece".

It has surpassed "Detective Conan" in comic sales. Although Phoenix is ​​very low-key and has not made any statement, He Xi rarely holds "One Piece" events, it is the real and dangerous killer weapon.

Once "One Piece" is animated, Phoenix Company will gain the upper hand - so Dong Ding hurriedly walked to the front stage just to increase Zhongxia's influence in animation before "One Piece" animation. However, he had not really achieved this goal, and he did not expect "Chess Soul" to come out again!

"I understand, but now Phoenix has two choices for long animations. We don't have any..." Dong Ding frowned, feeling very tricky: "I don't plan to focus on the confrontation of "Soul of Chess". For the sake of the current plan, the most important thing for the company is animation. Once the animation loses, we will have no chance."

"But Mr. Li, I can do a lot, but I can't control the story of the animation."

He told shareholders that Dong Ding's approach was not wrong. He introduced celebrity voice actors, increased animation soundtracks, attracted the highest-rated TV stations in animation, and snatched the audience of "Detective Sherlock" with "Detective Conan"... In terms of policy, he believed that no one did better than him.

Dong Ding's policy has raised the advantages of Zhongxia Company to the maximum extent. The only thing they lack is "animated story that can surpass Phoenix Company". But this story is really not something that Dong Ding can control.

He has tried his best to find it. Dong Ding has searched for it, whether in the comics, novels, or even some TV series. He has not found any works that have the confidence to defeat He Xi, which makes him helpless.

This shareholder named Li naturally understood this. He sighed: "That He Xi is a rare genius in a century. We are really unlucky. I thought the comics industry should be a blue ocean, but why is there such a shark here..."

In recent years, Zhongxia’s shareholders have regretted how many times they made their choices back then. If they knew that He Xi could grow to this level, they would have to bring it over even if they share some shares!

When Zhongxia was in junior high school, one was to win over He Xi with shares and management rights, and the other was to retain Xu Jing and He Xi's shares while acquiring Phoenix Company. Both methods were actually feasible at the beginning, especially the latter, which could be completely successful.

Unfortunately, Zhongxia only wanted to acquire Phoenix in full at that time, and looked down on the original shareholders of Phoenix Company, so she failed.

"It's time to come, it's useless to regret it." Dong Ding smiled bitterly. He was also one of the decision-makers of that year. Some of Zhongxia's shares belonged to him. When Zhongxia wanted to acquire Phoenix, he didn't want a semi-finished product, so he voted against it.

But it's too late to regret it now. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of acquisition must have disappeared. Phoenix Company cannot even use up all the money in its hands, and the prospects are even more prosperous. Xu Jing and He Xi will definitely not share power with other groups of people.

But this is a lot of people...

"Mr. Dong, you said that if there are only a few shareholders in Zhongxia Company, will Zhongxia have the opportunity to merge with Phoenix?" The shareholder named Li said suddenly and a cold light flashed across Dong Ding's eyes. This idea really collided with him.

The merger of Zhongxia and Phoenix is ​​Dong Ding's best choice for Zhongxia. After talking to Meng Huo, he believed that this choice is likely to be realized. If Zhongxia develops unfavorablely, shareholders will naturally withdraw, and Dong Ding will have the opportunity to acquire more shares.

Dong Ding had strong selfish desires and unwillingness. He fought for the novel for decades, but ended up getting nothing but money.

What he wants is status, the status behind an industry. If Zhongxia and Phoenix merge, he can become one of the behind-the-scenes families who control comics and share the profits of the entire industry. Three of these families are enough.
