I Just Want to Draw Comics Quietly

　　 Two weeks have passed. During these two weeks, there has been a lot of turbulence in the comics industry in Los Angeles.

　　 Fengyu Comics' top cartoonist Dong Yun did not choose to renew the contract with Fengyu after the contract expired. Instead, he chose to join the Cuttlefish Comics Club of the three major journals in the same Los Angeles province to start a series of new works.

According to Man Ying’s five full pages in the last issue of the periodical and other periodicals of Cuttlefish Comics to promote its new work Hidden Girl, it can be said that Hidden Girl has not been officially serialized, and her name is already in the comic industry and reader circles. Has a great reputation.

　　 On the contrary, another new work published on Man Ying in the same periodical as The Hidden Girl, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, has almost no publicity resources.

　　Originally, most people in the editorial department of the Cuttlefish Manga Club proposed to give Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance this work at least the same status as the new work of its quasi-first-line cartoonists.

　　 But at the meeting, Song Jiayu claimed that his author, Shui Xin, had too low qualifications and was not good enough for cuttlefish to use resources for publicity, and the matter was nothing.

　　 But in the entire Los Angeles province, to be precise, in the comic circles of Ming City, the name of Shui Xin was mentioned during this period.

　　 The outsiders don’t understand the inside story. They, comics practitioners, don’t yet?

This previously only serialized a rookie cartoonist named Yanye Zhiting in a periodical of the ink film level. His second work was actually voted by many editors at the serialization meeting of the Cuttlefish Comics Club. Dong Yun's new serialization opportunity won by the secret girl squeezed down.

　　 shocked the entire Ming City comics industry and couldn't believe it.

　　 To say that the Cuttlefish Comics Club paid such a great effort to dig Dong Yun over, it was definitely not to suppress her, let her get rid of her!

　　 Then what's the trouble?

　　 Dong Yun’s new work lost to the newcomer’s work? It was the cuttlefish cutting a piece of work that gave Dong Yun a chance to serialize it.

　　 Is this funny?

　　 And according to insider information, the new comic artist named Shui Xin is of high quality. He was able to defeat the hidden girl in the meeting to obtain the serialization qualification.

Therefore, the new issue of Man Ying’s issue is released today. Many people in the comics industry active in Los Angeles not only want to see the quality of Dong Yun’s new works, but they are also very interested in the work of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. .

　　 As a professional comic commentator, Xiao Shan naturally has a great interest in this issue of comics.

　　The literary world of the Dragon Kingdom has evolved over the years and has formed this type of business model with geographical boundaries.

Literary works, novels, comics, etc. from various provinces are generally only disseminated in the provinces, and cannot be disseminated outside the local provinces. This is a self-protection policy of local powers, but it is also because of this that these local publishing houses and magazines As a result, the business scope of the comics club could not be expanded.

　　 can be considered pros and cons.

　　 Because of the special nature of the network, this kind of real-world geographical spread restriction naturally does not radiate above the Internet, so Xinman.com has won the favor of comic fans from all over the country.

　　Manga fans from all provinces will exchange excellent comics from their respective provinces on this website.

　　 It’s been a long time, and the demand naturally gave birth to professional comic commentators like Xiao Shan.

　　 Basically, Xinman.com has one or two persons in charge like Xiaoshan in each province, who are responsible for digging out the excellent cartoons of the local provinces, and act as commenters to post the manuscripts on Xinman.com!

　　This... is his hobby and his job.

　　The uniform publication time of the periodical on Man Ying is every Friday.

　　 is the time when the students are on weekends.

　　 Perhaps because of Dong Yun’s new works published in this issue of Man Ying, the sales of Man Ying in various bookstores today are extremely hot.

　　 Xiaoshan searched several bookstores before he found a bookstore where Man Ying's periodical hadn't sold out yet.

　　 At the same time, after school in the afternoon, many students from major primary and middle schools also rushed to the bookstore. After all, they are the biggest audience of comics and periodicals!

Naturally, Qin Qianyu is no exception. She also bought this issue of comics today. She has always liked to buy Tianyin comics under Fengyu Comics. After all, most of the serialized works of Tianyin comics are girl comics. .

　　 However, the new work of Dong Yun, a well-known cartoonist from Tianyin Comics, was serialized on the comic. Secondly, Qin Qianyu discovered that there was a small publicity on the last page of the last issue of Ink Shadow.

　　 "The original ink film serialized cartoonist, and the author of The Garden of Words, Shui Xin's new work Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance will be serialized in the next issue, so stay tuned!"

　　 After the end of the Garden of Words, the popularity of Shui Xin gradually declined. Now, two weeks later, few people mention this work and its author.

　　 Even her sister and cousins ​​who are loyal fans of The Garden of Words and Leaves, after the end of the Garden of Words and Leaves, they will hardly be reminded for a long time.

　　 This is the reality of the comics industry. There is no classic, excellent, long-term serialization, and your readers will forget you in just a few days.

　　 If it hadn't been confirmed that Chu Yu was Shui Xin, maybe Qin Qianyu would have done the same, although the two hadn't had much contact since that day when they suddenly asked for an autograph from Chu Yu.

　　 But Chu Yu wandered around in front of Qin Qianyu all day, and it was difficult for Qin Qianyu to ignore his existence.

　　 After realizing that Chu Yuxin had serialized a new book, she, as a fan of the Garden of Words, finally couldn't help being curious, and bought a copy of this issue.

　　 Only Chu Yu went straight to the house after school.

　　 For him, the serialization of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance and the Garden of Words only means that his manuscript fee has increased from 220 yuan per page to 600 yuan per page.

　　 He has changed from a cartoonist with a weekly salary of more than 4,000 to a cartoonist with a weekly salary of more than 10,000.

　　 Thinking like this... Chu Yu suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

　　 "I seem to have become a rich man?"

　　Compared to Chu Yu, who used 800 yuan a month before, after the serialization of Rurouni Kenshin, his monthly income soared to nearly 50,000 Dragon National Coins.

　　 Not to mention in a second-tier city like Los Angeles, even in a first-tier city like Magic Capital or even Imperial Capital, he is a proper high-income group.

　　 For a while, Chu Yu was a little confused.

　　 This money is too unrealistic, and it seems to be completely different from the difficulty of making money taught in the school!

　　 But he was confused when he went upstairs to see Su Lu, who was standing in front of his house carrying a large bag of vegetables, and he disappeared suddenly.

　　 "Are you really addicted to come to me?" Chu Yu said coldly.

　　 "What is rubbing? Didn't I buy all the ingredients?" Su Lu said with a grin.

　　 Since the three people drank that drink together two weeks ago, the relationship between the three seems to have changed a little.

　　 Except for the cooperative relationship in their respective identities, it seems that the mutual relationship is getting closer to friends.

　　 At least when Chu Yu met Zhao Qinyin in school during this period of time, the two would stop and talk a few words.

　　 The strangeness between each other is much less, and the guard is much less.

And since Su Lu came to discuss some comics with Chu Yu last week, after Chu Yu’s chef made a table of food to entertain her, she ran to Chu Yu twice in three days. Originally, Chu Yu was lazy to order takeaways to settle the meal. The problem, she’s okay. Every time she comes, she buys a bunch of dishes she wants to eat. The beautiful name is to add a little nutrition to the cartoonists under her. The province’s takeaway food has problems. In fact, she wants Chu Yu to cook. Give her food.

Ugh.......

　　 Chuyu was a bit speechless, gave her a white look, took out the key and opened the door.

　　 It's already December, and the weather temperature has dropped sharply, and white mist will dissipate when I breathe out.

　　 Looking at the ingredients Su Lu bought, Chu Yu said.

　　 "I'm too lazy to do any tricks, just boil it into a hot pot and stew it in a mess."

　　 "Yes, yes! I listen to Chef Chu!" After Su Lu said, he ran to the stove, turned on the electric terminal and sat watching TV.

　　 Seeing this, it was Chu Yu who did it alone again.

　　 shook his head, Chu Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense, washing rice, washing vegetables, cutting meat, boiling water...

　　 When it was almost time for dinner, there was a knock on the door.

　　 Su Lu ran over and opened the door.

　　 is Zhao Qinyin.

　　 "Come?" Chu Yu nodded.

　　 "Just right, let's eat together!"

　　Today is the day when the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance was released, and it was also the first day that Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin agreed to continue to work as assistants for the follow-up comics of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

　　 Originally, Chu Yu wanted to invite Zhao Qinyin out for dinner, but Su Lu didn't bother him anymore after he bought food!

　　 Zhao Qinyin was hesitant, but couldn't hold back the two of them to persuade each other.

　　 stove, hot pot, three people in a circle, boiling water mist.

　　 For a while, Chu Yu felt that his home was also a lot of lively, and since his parents were gone, he seldom felt such a feeling.

　　 Su Lu's face kept smiling, and Zhao Qinyin's mouth was not consciously smiling. Although Chu Yu was still unsmiling, his eyes softened a lot.

　　...

　　 The author, assistant, and editor on the same side as Chuyu have different light meals.

　　 Song Jiayu and Dong Yun had dinner together in a western restaurant.

　　 "How is it?" Dong Yun looked at Song Jiayu.

　　 "The popular vote result is out."

　　 "The Demon Realm is number one, with more than 35,000 votes."

　　 "The Hidden Girl is second, with more than 31,000 votes~www.wuxiaspot.com~Tianshu is third, with more than 30,000 votes."

"Not bad, the first episode of the Hidden Girl has caught up with Manying's original two giants, and now with you, these three works are the Manying three giants! The momentum continues and the summit is just around the corner!" Song Jiayu looks like It seems to be in a good mood.

　　 "Where is Rurouni Jianxin Remembrance?" Dong Yun asked.

　　 "Is that work?" Song Jiayu smiled.

　　 "It seems that the work is a bit unacceptable!"

"The number of votes in the twelve hours was less than four thousand votes. It was ranked 11th among the 20 serialized works. It seems that my guess is correct. Although his work is of high quality, RB The setting of the human protagonist still has a huge impact! And I also used my strength to give up the propaganda resources originally given to this work to the hidden girl." Song Jiayu sneered.

"Even if the quality of this work is high, the wine smells deep in the alleys. A work does not mean that it will be popular when it is published on a good platform. The quality is very important, and the publicity is also the same. Otherwise, there will not be so many comics every year. Cut the work in half."

　　 "Maybe the result of this issue is the pinnacle of this work, and the popularity is getting lower and lower in the future, and it was finally cut in the middle?" Song Jiayu said.

　　 "The situation is still undecided, don't rush to conclusions." Dong Yun drew light makeup today, but the beautiful makeup can't conceal the solemnity on her face.

　　 "You said before that this work is mainly because the third chapter is too amazing, especially the last scene of the third chapter. Because of the length of the new series, Rurouni Kenshin and Hidden Girl both serialized two chapters in the first issue."

　　 "In this case, until the voting results of the serialized works of Man Ying next week are released, the performance of this work cannot be determined.
