Chapter 136: Signing with Zhang Chen

  I read (no pop-up full text)

  "Zhang Chen, I have something to discuss with you." Su Xichen said seriously.

  "What's up?" Zhang Chen was doing the coloring work for his comic, putting down his work, Zhang Chen could really be called a comic maniac, working 47 hours non-stop in a span of 48 hours.

  "You also know that writing is my main job, so it's impossible for me to spend too much time on comics..."

  Su Cheng's words were cut off by Zhang Chen, "Master Su, you're not going to be like 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Desolate Era', drawing only halfway and then quitting to become a writer, are you? Master Su, this won't do!!"

  What rhythm is this? Su Release Morning, this absolutely must be a rhythm that will explode the sky! Even his own assistant has questioned his moral integrity, but instead used that phrase, not to shock the world with literary talent, but to move people with moral integrity!

  His current behavior has shocked the world!

  Su Daqi was about to speak, but Zhang Chen took the conversation again. "Master Su wants to know that now 'Slam Dunk' is so hot and its sales in China can be called legendary. If you stop updating 'Sherlock Holmes', you will be scolded by a group of fans. 'Huang Yu' stopped at the most critical moment, and Huang Mi was even more violent. If 'Slam Dunk' stops updating again, if the three fans of 'Slam Dunk', 'Feng Mo' and 'Huang Yu' unite, Master Su will really have no way to live."

  "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is broken?

  This is not a bad idea, but it's just because there aren't many Holmes stories in total, and since they signed an exclusive publishing agreement with the Daily Gazette, they can't publish them in The Peak Magazine first. So they plan to release one book per year, which will be enough for several years based on the number of stories in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes".

  And that "Huang Yu" Su Xianchen is even more unjust, originally "Huang Yu" was to promote the existence of "Journey to the West in Huang Yu", and the next two are still in preparation, not cut off!

  Su Shi felt more wronged than Dou E!

  "Who says 'Journey to the West' and 'Sherlock Holmes' are not connected? Who told you such nonsense?" Su Xichen was so wronged, he was so angry!

  "Isn't that so? Outsiders all say this, and Master Su, you now have a nickname online, which fully explains this matter."

  "What's your nickname?"

  "Digging a hole for the great demon king!"

  Su Shi was so grief-stricken that he could not shed a tear, and thus ended his writing of two books...

  Isn't it said that two books were stopped from being published due to inaccuracies?

  King of Digging Holes! Is it that exaggerated? In fact, Su Xincheng felt that this nickname was more suitable for someone like Da Mo Wang or perhaps Pneumonia, Feng Huo and others.

  Unfortunately, this world does not have such eunuch predecessors. Although there are no such eunuch predecessors, the eunuch ancestors do exist. The one who wrote "Records of the Grand Historian" is said to be the ancestor of the legendary eunuch writers!!

  Zhang Ze saw Su Rui Chen not responding, and thought that the comic "Slam Dunk" was really going to be discontinued. He couldn't help but panic, whether as an assistant or as a reader, he didn't want "Slam Dunk" to stop updating.

  "Su Da Shi cannot..."

  "Alright, stop nagging, who said I was going to stop updating?" Su Xichen said.

  "You just said earlier that your main job is writing and you can't spend too much time on comics, didn't you?"

  "Yes, I said so."

  "Can't spend too much time on 'Slam Dunk' or it'll be discontinued."

  "I can't spend too much time, but I didn't say I have no time at all," Su Xichen spread his hands and said, "Please listen carefully next time, don't just hear half of it and start shouting."

  "Oh, is it preparing for an annual publication? One volume per year?"

  In terms of time, manga publications can be divided into dailies, weeklies, biweeklies, monthlies, bimonthlies, quarterlies, semi-annuals and annuals. Generally, comics are first published in comic magazines and then if they do well, a single-volume edition is released. However, Xanadu Culture Communication Co., Ltd. itself is a cultural publishing company that has never had its own magazine or comic publication, which is why it had to cooperate with Tong Li Publishing Co.

  The Manglobe Society does have a comic publication, but releasing "Slam Dunk" in someone else's comic publication would be a loss no matter how you think about it. That's why they decided to release it as a single volume instead. Releasing one volume every two months is quite normal, which is why Zhang Chen asked if it was going to be an annual publication, meaning releasing only one volume per year.

  "Nature is already slow enough with a monthly publication; it cannot be slowed down any further."

  "It's not delayed publication, nor is it discontinued, and there isn't even time to figure out what's going on."

  "It's simple, isn't it just you?" Su Xichen smiled and said.

  "Me?" Zhang Chen pointed at his own nose.

  "It's you, from now on the task of continuing 'Slam Dunk' will be handed over to you." Su Xi Chen patted Zhang Chen's shoulder, this tone and action were exactly like handing over a world-saving mission.

  "Hand it over?" Su Xichen's words were too much for Zhang Chen to handle, and he was momentarily stunned, his mind going blank.

  "Alright, you go set up a studio and from now on, 'Slam Dunk' will be serialized by you."

  "No no no......" Zhang Chen's head shook like a rattle drum, his mouth still repeating these two words.

  "My storytelling ability is nowhere near Master Su's level of expertise. If I were to take over 'Slam Dunk', I would ruin this masterpiece."

  Zhang Chen's words were absolutely sincere, without any flattery. From the past two months of interaction, Zhang Chen discovered that Su Rixing's love for basketball was actually just average, but he could create such passionate basketball comics. In the end, Zhang Chen concluded that it was because Su Rixing's storytelling skills were simply too exceptional, whether it was classical fantasy or detective stories, they could all be incredibly brilliant.

  Whether a professional screenwriter, novelist or cartoonist can rely on the ability to create stories against the sky and make a good living in these positions.

  Actually, Zhang Chen's question in his mind was also Su Ruo Chen's question. According to Su Ruo Chen's understanding of Inoue Takehiko, the original author did not particularly like basketball, but a work like "Slam Dunk" came out.

  "Zhang Chen, your comic skills are extremely impressive. Just in terms of art style and speed, you're already top-notch even among the manga giants in Japan." Zhang Chen's face lit up with pride at the mention of his speed, but before he could bask in the praise, Su Rui Chen continued, "However, your storytelling standards are really subpar. To put it simply, it's completely unengaging." Zhang Chen's proud expression instantly turned into a dejected one.

  "So today I'm looking for you mainly because there are two things, one of which is that I provide the sequel to 'Slam Dunk' and have you as the main artist and build a studio. Of course, we won't let you lose out, and regarding 'Slam Dunk', your name will also be included, becoming a collaboration between Su Yuechen and Zhang Chen!" Just like how 'Fate' had two authors in its later stages.

  "Zhang Chen, your painting style is very similar to mine. I believe that if you imitate it, the similarity can reach more than 80%. Simply put, I'll write the script and you paint."

  When Su Rui Chen finished saying this, he felt a strong sense of incongruity. This scene was just like the one in "Food Dreamer" where Takagi said something to Makoto, and the two had an astonishing similarity.

  In fact, Zhang Chen and Su Xianchen are indeed a very suitable partner, Zhang Chen's painting style is solid but he can't tell stories, while Su Xianchen has no time to paint, but his brain is full of all kinds of classic stories.

  In a past life on Earth, there was also such a pair of cartoonist partners that could be said to be made in heaven.

  Ooba Takashi and Hidaka Masamune, the two classic manga "**" and "Gourmet Dreamer" were born under the collaboration of the two.

  Later, Da Chang and Xiao Hua Jian were labeled by some shameless rotten women from the previous life on Earth as "manga-style romance, a romantic relationship between two men." If Zhang Chen had agreed, wouldn't they have also spread such rumors? Thinking that he might be rumored to be with another man, Su Rui Chen couldn't help but shiver.

  "It's not just that the signature on the comic will become a collaboration between you and me, but also the sales share will be like this." To be honest, Su Rixing doesn't really lack the money from selling "Slam Dunk" single volumes now, but for Zhang Chen, it's still a considerable attraction.

  He is also very confident in his own comic skills, which is his strong point, but he is also aware of his weaknesses, such as not being able to create stories, otherwise he wouldn't have been rejected multiple times. Collaborating with Su Jia Chen, relying on Su Jia Chen's storytelling ability, the comic will definitely be a hit, and Su Jia Chen has also said that she will work together on the comic, so he can gain a lot of popularity.

  According to the current sales boom of "Slam Dunk", cumulative sales of one million is completely no problem, that is to say, choosing to cooperate with Su Rui Chen, he can not only gain fame, but also make a lot of money, this kind of fame and fortune opportunity, if refused, Zhang Chen thinks it's possible that his brain is sick.

  "Alright, no problem, but about the studio..."

  "If you have acquaintances from before, like Zhang Chen, then form your own team; if not, then recruit."

  When Su Shilei Chen recruited assistants in the past, he had to find one by one. It's not because Su Shilei is brain-dead and has a lot of time, but wants to find someone with similar painting style. However, after setting up the studio, there was no such problem and could directly recruit through advertisements.

  "No need, no need. After drawing comics for a few years, I've made some friends who may not be famous but I can guarantee their level is absolutely great." Zhang Chen patted his chest to assure, as if telling Su Xichen that he wasn't being biased.

  "Alright, I'll leave the matter of setting up the studio to you, and there's one more thing."

  "Anything else?"

  "Right, about signing a contract, Zhang Chen, you shouldn't have signed with any other comic companies yet, should you?"

  "At this level, even if I wanted to sign a contract, no one would give me the opportunity." Su Shicheng took out a contract from his bag "This is a contract with Shan Se Culture Communication Co., Ltd., take a good look."

  Since the sales of "Slam Dunk" were a huge success, making Billibon earn a lot, Wang Ni realized that the comic industry was actually not bad. Cooperating with Billibon was never a good idea, so she generously added a comic department to her company, and their first target was Zhang Chen.

  "I also have shares in Shangshi Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., so I'm considered a shareholder." Su Xianchen's words were indeed humble, and he was considered a shareholder.

  "In terms of publication, Xianyue Cultural Transmission Co., Ltd. can be said to be the top in Yangcheng. Of course, I won't hide it from you, in the comic aspect, the company is still a newcomer, the comic department just started, there isn't anyone who can hold the scene, but that's exactly why this is an opportunity, if you sign this contract, the company will give you comprehensive support, I can guarantee that."

  Su said with a smile, "Of course, there's another benefit. Considering your storytelling skills, Zhang Chen, after you sign the contract with our company, I can also provide you with story plots to work on, which means that after signing the contract, we can continue to collaborate in the future."

  "I've already prepared three stories for you, and after 'Slam Dunk' ends, you can choose any one of them to draw. Su Rui Chen took out three stacks of 4A paper again, with the titles '_', 'Attack on Titan', and 'Kindaichi Case Files' written on them..."
