I just want to draw cartoons quietly

"Xuangui asked me to come to you as soon as possible, sign the contract, and then Xuangui will typeset your work as soon as possible, publish it on the water edge, and make a wave of publicity by the way. Two weeks later... it will be officially The initial D is published."

"So fast?" Chu Yu was a little surprised.

"This is not the end of the Crimson Abyss, and Xuangui urgently needs to stabilize the sales of Water Edge..."

"During this period, new works with potential will be serialized very quickly, and the authors of old works on the edge of water are required to try to serialize some exciting plots during this period, not watery plots..."

"Of course, your Natsume's style is like this anyway, so I don't want to make too many demands!"

"Speaking of which, you haven't answered my question at the beginning? After a long time, you don't even have a driver's license. How dare you draw car cartoons so boldly? What kind of drift, what kind of parallel drift, and inertia? I don’t even understand the driving skills of drifting, I thought you could make at least one or two of these driving skills yourself..." Li Xi said.

"I really don't know how your brain grows. You can't even drive a car, but you can create such a comic, and it can be unanimously approved by the comic editors of Quan Xuangui..." Said At this point, Li Xi's words came to an abrupt end.

She couldn't remember how many times she had said something similar.

In the end, if he couldn't figure it out, it could only be attributed to Chu Yu being a genius.

"Maybe, maybe I can study like Fujiwara Takumi after I finish the driver's license test, maybe there is no hope for Qiu Mingshan, I think it is very promising to be the fastest driver on the hill near the school!" Second attack.

"Just don't call me to save you when the novice hits the road and rolls over in the ditch..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, you sign the contract quickly!"

Li Xi felt that he was being led astray by Chu Yu, and he would spit out Chu Yu's complaints about such a boring question.

He took out the printed contract from the briefcase and guided Chu Yu to sign the contract.

Because of the fact that he signed a contract before, Chu Yu is also familiar with the road.

Just based on Chu Yu's current influence, the new contract must have improved compared to the previous treatment in many ways.

Of course, Li Xi knows Chu Yu's character. Although he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who attaches great importance to money, but it should be his, and he will definitely fight for it, so he simply asks Xuan Gui to get the treatment that is in line with Chu Yu's current treatment. After signing the contract, I will come to find Chu Yu.

So after Chu Yu read it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and the remuneration was only increased by [-] per page. This is not a big problem, the main reason is that the proportion of other copyrights is large.

According to the content of the contract, basically, cartoonists with similar influence in Shanghai and Chuyu will be lower than this level. This is also the attraction of Xuangui. The competition pressure is high, but the salary is really good.

It's just that Chu Yu's career as a cartoonist is so smooth that he can't feel the pressure at all, but those cartoonists who compete with Chu Yu feel the huge pressure.

Even if it was Tang Xin, when he first started serializing in Shanghai, his popularity slowly recovered after a few months of low popularity, and Chu Yu's development curve...... Anyway, if Anyone who knows Chu Yuman's career as a cartoonist, whether it is an old cartoonist or a newcomer, will be more or less shocked.

It's just that Chu Yu himself is rather homely, and he doesn't understand what the outside world thinks of him now, and he doesn't like to get to know people in the circle.

Nowadays, editors of many comic agencies use Chu Yu as an example when motivating their lazy cartoonists.

For those older cartoonists, the wording is, look at Shui Xin, who is only 19 years old and xxxx...you still don’t work hard?

And for those cartoonists who are young, Shui Xin is about the same age as you. If you work harder, you will be xxxx. Come on, one day you will be able to surpass Shui Xin and other words to motivate them .

Unknowingly, Chu Yu, who has only been in Shanghai for less than a year, has changed from a scumbag to an example of someone else's genius in the comics world.

But it is obvious that Chu Yu has no clear understanding of this.

.......

Soon, Chu Yu and Li Xi worked out the contract together. After sorting out the contract, Li Xi prepared to leave as usual.

"It's still early, don't you want to sit down before leaving?" Chu Yu asked.

"You think that everyone is as busy as you, and now I have to work overtime when I go home to deal with other cartoonists' affairs." Li Xi said.

"I'm not idle either. You see, I don't have a lot of work in a day. After signing the contract, I will be serializing two comics at the same time every week. It's just that my work efficiency is relatively high..."

Chu Yu felt that others seemed to have misunderstood him.

I always thought that he had a very leisurely day, but in fact, who knows how hard he is?

At best, he has no pressure!

Although he is trying to increase the influence of his works, in fact, if the popularity of his works is low, he will not feel particularly uncomfortable.

Anyway, just do your best and obey the destiny.

"Forget it, I'm leaving first, and there is also the work about Initial D..." Li Xiduo reminded Chu Yu.

"Try as hard as you can, try to think as much as possible about the plot of the comic, don't make too many bugs, if the follow-up plot of your work can maintain the quality, Xuangui will definitely give this work a lot of resources... …”

"Try to take advantage of this opportunity to rush upwards. The ancients said that if you want to succeed, you must occupy the right time, place and people. The rise of cartoonists is also the same..." Li Xi said solemnly

Chu Yu nodded upon hearing this.

"By the way..." Li Xi remembered the incident when he entered the door.

"If you want to learn to drive, the Daxin Driving School near your school is not bad. I learned my driver's license at that driving school when I was studying here."

"Li Xi, did you study here as well?" Chu Yu asked.

"It's normal! After all, this area is a university town in Shanghai, and most of the students who graduated from Shanghai go out here."

After speaking, Li Xi left cleanly as usual.

Public Opinion Before Publication of Chapter 169

Xuan Gui's speed was very fast. Less than a few days after Li Xi and Chu Yu negotiated the contract, related advertisements and newspapers were overwhelming.

On the buses, subway entrances, bookstores, and taxis in Shanghai, there are all posted characters about several popular works in Shuiyuan journals, Natsume's Book of Friends, Dream World, Dragon Soul...

Even among the four new works that were decided to be published at the serialization meeting, two of them were included in Xuangui's promotional list.

Needless to say, it is naturally Zong Lei's extreme boy and Chu Yu's initial D.

The promotion of Xtreme Boys is naturally based on its protagonist, and the promotional posters mainly highlight danger and passion.

The promotional poster for Initial D is very simple. Fujiwara Takumi is standing next to a white AE86. The five characters of Fujiwara Tofu Shop on the 86 body are revealed, and there is a sentence next to the promotional poster.

The fastest man in Qiu Mingshan!

Many people who saw this picture were puzzled?

Some people still know about Mount Akina, a place on the Japanese island.

There are quite a few people who know about the car, the civilian car AE86 that was very popular on the Japanese island before.

It seems that Teacher Shuixin's new work is set on the Japanese island again.

Nowadays, fans of Shuixin are too lazy to complain about these settings of Shuixin, and they are basically used to it. Anyway, they mainly read the storyline, so just set those Shuixin teachers if you are happy.

It's just that the promotional posters are a bit incomprehensible.

There is a car with the words Fujiwara Tofu Shop on it. Could it be that Mr. Shui Xin's new work is a gourmet manga?The protagonist is a chef who makes tofu dishes?

Of course, there are also people who want to be crooked...

The fastest.......man in Akinayama?

How fast?

Of course, some people thought it might be a racing cartoon. Just looking at the car, AE86 was also sprayed with the name of the tofu shop signboard, and they thought it was too much.

That's it, what do you use to compete with others?

......

After all, there are [-] serial seats in the Water Edge Journal, and it is impossible for every work to get this kind of promotional opportunity, and even many low-popular works cannot even be featured on the cover of the journal.

Moreover, many Two-dimensional websites and comic writers in Shanghai have repeatedly mentioned the excellent works in Shuiyuan Journal and two high-profile new works, Xtreme Boys and Initial D during this period.

As long as people who pay a little attention to the comics industry, it is basically easy to be bombarded by this wave of marketing propaganda by Xuangui.

It's just that the professional Longguo comics circle scoffed at Shui Xin's idea of ​​serializing two works at the same time.

After all, human energy is limited. Generally, it is enough for a cartoonist to serialize a work. Under the age of 30, because of the pressure, there are many people who think about the plot and want to be bald. In this way, many cartoonists are still unable to serialize comics on time. .

The fact that Shui Xin is just a boy under the age of 20 is no secret in the comics circle of Shanghai.

It is an exaggeration for such a young person to be able to create a work of the level of Natsume's Book of Friends.

However, he actually wanted to serialize a new work in the water edge journal while serializing an obviously difficult work like Natsume's Book of Friends?

Is this young man really talented or arrogant.

Quite a few people who had rifts with Chu Yu, such as Yu Jing, Song Jiayu, and some other people in the cartoon industry in Qin Province, and even some red-eyed monsters who simply couldn't understand Chu Yu's youth and fame jumped out and slandered Chu Yu.

The evaluation of the initial D by Magic City Manquan Weekly is that the inexplicable title of the work, the young and arrogant cartoonist, and perhaps the name of Shuixin's genius cartoonist will be completely reduced to a joke after this work!

The former devil is not well-known street cartoonist, and now the famous comic circle critic Zhang Wei wrote a comment, saying that Xuangui became flustered because of the end of Taizhu's work Scarlet Abyss. Xin, who is known as a talented young manga artist, will open a new work. Anyway, the whole manuscript is Xuangui taking the opportunity to hype the popularity, so as to delay the declining trend of periodical sales, completely ignoring Shuixin's ability and energy Insufficient problem.

Ye Chun, a well-known cartoonist in Shanghai and the author of Guangwei, was interviewed by the media at a comic signing event and asked what he thought of Shui Xin, a rising star who threatened to surpass him in a year or two.

Ye Chun did not shy away from this question at the time.

"I remember Shui Xin once said that he wants to have more influence in the comics circle than me within a year or two. If you think about it carefully, in terms of time, if Shui Xin wants to realize what he said, he can only rely on Could it be this top-notch work! I’m sorry... I usually can’t remember the name of what I think may be a mediocre work, but even so, I’m still looking forward to Shui Xin’s new work!"

.......

Many people in the industry asked the editor of Xuangui about the initial D and the manga of Xtreme Boys.

Xtreme Boy was fine, at least one or two editors dared to talk about it, but the initial D was basically ordered to die by Deng He, and he was not allowed to disclose any news about the work to anyone before the work was serialized.

After all, everyone at the serialization meeting has read the ten-episode draft, and if any spoiler news gets out, it will be a disaster.

So these editors who signed a confidentiality agreement and knew Deng He's style kept their mouths tight. Now, the outside world doesn't even know what type of comic this work is.

However, in the face of the unanimous bad-mouthing of the initial D by many media in Shanghai, Xuangui didn't react at all.

The editors are afraid that something will go wrong if they accidentally make a mistake, and it will be bad if they slip up, but Xuan Gui is happy to see these people jumping out to help the initial D to create momentum. The free effect is good, so why not do it?

When the initial D is published, the current bad reviews will naturally disappear.

.......

As for Chu Yu's fans... they have objections to Chu Yu's double opening.

After all, most of Chu Yu's fans are women, and they are not interested in Fujiwara Takumi's slightly realistic and not at all exquisite style of painting on the promotional posters. They feel that Shui Xin is better than opening two chapters of Natsume's Book of Friends a week instead of double-opening comics.

So a bunch of fans have been commenting on Chuyu Weibo these days, fearing that Chuyu won't be distracted by serializing the initial D, which will lead to a decline in the quality of Natsume's account of friends.

Many of the fans who have never heard of Huaming, if they have enough energy, they might as well conceive the second part of Unheard Huaming.

As for the fans of Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter, they can take it easy, because they know that the contract dispute between Chu Yu and Squid cannot be resolved, and the other chapters of Rurouni Kenshin are already in the series, so they have great expectations for Shui Xin's new work. interest of.

Anyway, looking at the painting style, it shouldn't be the kind of girly manga. If Teacher Shui Xin comes up with another work similar to Rurouni Kenshin's Memories of Fighting and Romance, it will be great.

.......

Of course, Huang Ming, who had been looking for members of the animation creation team during this time, naturally also noticed Chu Yu's new movements.

I can only admire Chu Yu's productivity and talent.

Chu Yu has taken the time to sign a contract with Huang Ming, and also made it clear that he is a Muggle in animation creation. Although his major is animation production, it is obvious that he can rely on the skills taught in the freshman stage of the school. It is estimated that the odd jobs in Huang Ming's office are better than Chu Yu.

So Chu Yu let Huang Ming find someone by himself. At most, after the animation production started, he could compare it with the original animation and try to restore the standard and style of the original animation in this world.

For other things, it is better to leave it to professionals.

1 Chapter Seventy

When the serialization of Initial D caused a lot of trouble in the comic world of Shanghai, Chu Yu was a good student who had been a good student for a period of time before the serialization of Initial D, never skipping classes or being late.

Although, Xuangui seems to really want to promote the initial D this time, and the promotional posters are posted inside Chuyu School, but this is the case in the comics industry. The comics have always been popular and the authors are not popular, and under Gu Yun's secrecy Well, there is really no second person in Chu Yu's class who has discovered Chu Yu's secret for the time being, which makes him feel very relieved.

That guy Gu Yun is really a good person, if he says to keep it a secret, he will keep it a secret.

Since Gu Yun had a conversation with Chu Yu some time ago, she never came to bother Chu Yu again.

But today when Chu Yu came to the classroom and walked to the familiar corner seat by the window in the back row, this fat girl sat beside Chu Yu very familiarly.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yu asked as gently as possible.

"This...is the work you want to serialize?" Gu Yun picked up the phone, and there was a poster with the initial D on the phone screen.

"Um, that's right!" Chu Yu said.

"You also pay attention to my comics?" Chu Yu asked.

"Knowing that there is a big cartoonist in the class, I will naturally pay attention."

"I have studied all of your works. I like Natsume's Book of Friends very much. I am a fan of this work. I cried several times when I watched this work. It's just that Rurouni Kenshin's Memories is too bloody. The first I didn't read it until I finished the story!" Gu Yun said.

"Fans..." Chu Yu was speechless.

"Your attitude towards me is not like my fan at all..."

"Who said I'm your fan? I'm not shy at all. Do you think you're a handsome star? I'm just a fan of your work." Gu Yun looked at Chu Yu with contempt.
