Chapter 174 Results

On this day, manga lovers who purchased Sui Yuan under Xuan Gui's promotion basically expected to see a work that was okay for the initial D, but the quality of the work they saw in the end was far beyond their expectations. imagine.

Unlike Natsume's Book of Friends, Natsume's style is that people who can read it will find it very good, while those who can't read it will feel that the whole story is in the water.

But the initial D is different. This work can be said to be suitable for all ages. Its theme is racing, and this theme basically has a large audience from elementary school students to young people to middle-aged people, especially men. This kind of steel machine is born without resistance.

The reason why comics like Dragon Kingdom were not popular in the past was because although the subject matter was good, its plot was hard to pull off. Most people went to draw professional racing drivers, and that kind of stuff was boring.

But the initial D is cut directly from the mountain road, and all of a sudden, readers have a strong sense of substitution. After all, no one has seen folk drag racing in daily life, but there are a few people in life who really go to buy tickets. Watching real racers race?

Coupled with the initial D itself, the plot rhythm is very good.

The protagonist of the ordinary high school student, the son of the owner of the tofu shop is the fastest driver in Akinayama, and the car racing competition in the comics is very innovative, plus the magical and appetizing chapter of the initial D in the first issue.

This also created such a big reaction on the Internet after the first serialization of Initial D on this day.

Chu Yu's Weibo fans number was only a little over 100 million, but all of a sudden, many comic fans who were attracted by the initial D directly searched for the author Shui Xin's Weibo account, and after following them... .... Let's start to remind you!

And the comment with the highest number of likes in the comment area is

Early in the morning, Shui Yuan's comic periodical began to be sold, but before five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yu's Weibo added 20 followers.

At this time, the Chuyu Weibo comment area was already occupied by fans of the initial D, and the tens of thousands of comments were either urging Geng Shuixin to draw comics quickly or complaining about his broken updates.

Originally, Chuyu's Weibo used to be used by fans of Natsume's Friends' Account to communicate on it, but now a large group of people have flooded into Natsume's Friends' Account, and the bunch of female fans are a little at a loss.

"Is it so good-looking? Isn't it just a car cartoon?"

"I can't figure it out, it's just the first issue of the manga, and the plot hasn't even unfolded!"

"There are no comments discussing Natsume, and all comments discussing the initial D."

"Looking at their comments, it seems that this work is very good! I'll check it out later!"

Some Natsume fans felt a little uncomfortable, but there were also many people who saw this, and they all dug out the Suiyuan Journal they bought, and read the first serialized content of Initial D.

In order to read Natsume, these people will naturally buy every issue of the periodical, but most people don't follow every manga above, most people follow five or six.

And most people will not easily change their preferences to try to read other kinds of works.

It's like a certain TV station in the parallel world, there are a few male readers who will read female works.

But Natsume and Initial D are both Shuixin's comics after all. Although the styles are very different, but both are works by the same author, which will naturally weaken the barriers in the hearts of Shuixin's fans...

So Natsume's fans are also falling into the pit of the initial D at a rapid speed.

Although a man's romance is a car, there are not a few female drivers in Longguo, and these people are also very impressed by the plot of the initial D.

.......

Under such circumstances, the online popularity voting results of each work on the first day of publication of this issue of Shui Yuan will also be counted on the next day.

The first, second and third places are still the same, occupied by Tang Xin's Dream World, Lin Xi's Dragon Soul, and Chu Yu's Natsume Friends Account respectively.

Even No.4 of this issue of Shuiyuan Journal is still Taboo Girl, a love comic that has been serialized on Shuiyuan for two years.

But the No.5 of this issue of Water Edge Journal, the four big characters of the initial D made the entire editorial department of Xuangui silent.

The results of the first issue of serialization ranked fifth in the entire Water Margin journal... This is indeed too exaggerated.

Zong Lei is no better than Shui Xin in terms of popularity and qualifications. Both of their works are the first issue of this issue, but his Extreme Boy's final ranking in this issue's popularity vote is only tenth.

Can you say that his extreme boy grades are not good?

The tenth in the first issue, to be honest, this score is already very good. After all, comic fans need to be accumulated slowly. The comics have started to be serialized, and the plot has not yet unfolded. You can count on many people who will scan the comics with their mobile phones Code to open the website to vote for your work?

So even for a well-known cartoonist like Zong Lei, it is normal for him to serialize his new comics in this ranking.

After the plot unfolds in the later stage, old fans gradually return, and after new fans of the work are cultivated, the popularity ranking will climb up step by step.

Judging from the results of the first issue of Xtreme Boys, the serialization time is longer and the plot does not collapse. In the end, this work will definitely have a place in the top three and top five of the Water Edge Journal.

It's like Natsume's Book of Friends, the first issue of the series scored eleven, but it hasn't been in the third place in the popularity votes of Shuiyuan journals for a long time.

But the problem is... the plot of the initial D has not yet unfolded, and the old fans of Shuixin are supportive, but the new fans of the work have not yet been cultivated.

But even under such circumstances, the first issue of Initial D has already ranked fifth in the popularity ranking on the edge of the water... Then after a few more serials, this work will definitely be more popular There is a period of rapid ascent.

But this work is now the fifth pick, so where can it go?

After surpassing the fourth-ranked taboo girl, then Shui Xin should explode her own ass.

Even, some editors are thinking, if the current momentum of the initial D exceeds that of Natsume's Book of Friends, will Dragon Soul, who surpassed the second pick, be far behind?Even more deeply, the initial D... Is there a chance to surpass the dream world that has been serialized for almost three years?

If the momentum of Initial D really continues to develop like this, then the first and second most popular works on the Water Edge Journal will be occupied by a 19-year-old boy and girl.

After all, before Tang Xin, none of the ace periodicals under the seven major banners of Shanghai had reached the top before the age of 25. This is a good time, so young talented cartoonists come here twice as soon as they come.

Even if Initial D failed to achieve the top result in the end, even with the current results, Shui Xin alone has two of the top five works on Shui Yuan, and it is still in the case of double opening......

"Is this guy a human?"

In the editorial department, all the editors gathered together to discuss the results of the initial D issued yesterday.

"No matter how talented a person is, there should always be a limit! This guy Shui Xin, from the memory of Rurouni Kenshin, every work is a masterpiece. This person feels like he was born to draw manga .”

"I really envy Li Xi! She is in charge of three of the first five works. With this achievement, she may be promoted within Xuan Gui in the future..."

But halfway through the man's words, he stopped.

Li Xi, dressed in business attire, walked into the editorial office because he was carrying a bag.

Chapter 175 Meeting

Today's Li Xi looks the same as usual, with a company-style top, skirt, and black stockings.

The whole person looks beautiful and beautiful, but the expression is a bit cold, and there is a feeling that strangers should not be close to each other.

"Editor Li, the editor-in-chief told you to go to his office after you come!"

"Understood!" Li Xi nodded.

Li Xi, who jumped over his office, walked directly to the editor-in-chief Deng He's office.

After knocking on the door three times, she only walked in after getting a signal from Deng He.

Deng He signaled Li Xi to sit down, and after pouring her a cup of tea, he didn't hold back.

"You must already know the results of Initial D!"

"Well, I see, to be honest, the fifth pick is beyond my expectation..."

When Li Xi mentioned the initial D grade, his cold expression melted a little, and a slight smile appeared on his face and eyes.

"It's beyond your imagination, even I didn't expect it..." Deng He smiled on his wrinkled face.

"Originally, in my imagination, the initial results of Initial D should be the same as that of Xtreme Boys, but as the serialization time of the two works becomes longer, Initial D will eventually widen the gap with Xtreme Boys."

"But what I didn't expect was that...... just the first serialization, the gap between the two works was widened."

"It seems that I am really getting old, and my market vision has also regressed. If it weren't for the explosive performance of the initial D, I really didn't know that racing comics would have such a market in the Dragon Congress!" Deng He shook his head and said. .

"However, I have to say that the manga drawn by that young man Shui Xin is really wonderful. If I hadn't been too old to drive a car, the old man, I would still like to drive to the hills near the magic capital."

"Editor, you are joking! Please don't raise such a dangerous behavior, even if it is an idea! Otherwise, an accident will cause great trouble to the company and us!" Li Xi said.

There was a hint of embarrassment on Deng He's face.

Li Xi has been in Xuangui for so many years, she can achieve the current results not only because of her own ability, but also because of Deng He's support.

Otherwise, if Li Xi suggested that Tang Xin, who was 14 years old at the time, should be serialized on Shuiyuan, who would dare to take such a risk without his approval?

But Li Xi's way of speaking without a sense of humor sometimes really made him quite depressed. He just made a joke, and Li Xi really took it seriously. Fortunately, Deng He didn't pay attention to these details, so he just talked about the business up.

"Okay, let's stop chatting, and you know that after the end of Crimson Abyss, there will not be a top-notch manga in our serial works on Shuiyuan. Of course, many manga clubs will encounter this situation. This kind of situation has happened many times for our Xuangui in the past so many years..."

"Based on past experience, the sales volume of periodicals will generally decline significantly during this period. In order to reduce these negative effects, we used to release a top-notch manga as soon as possible to act as a pillar..."

"However, such comic works are not available all the time. Although Tang Xin's Dream World is popular, it's still not as good. Her next work may reach this level, but it's still too early." Deng He said in a deep voice. road.

"So in this case, launching several lower-level comic works can also achieve the same effect."

"Initial D and Xtreme Boys are works that have been favored... Originally, my personal opinion is that I am more optimistic about Initial D, but some old guys in the company think that maybe my vision is wrong. I think After all, Zong Lei is an old manga artist, maybe his work will be better than the initial D after serialization."

"However, after the results of the first phase of these two works came out, those guys had nothing to say. Therefore, the focus of our Xuan Gui's work for the next period of time is to put a considerable part of the work's publicity resources in the initial word D across the country. Above, I hope this work will eventually achieve the influence of Dream World and Dragon Soul." Deng He said slowly.

If a comic work wants to become popular, in addition to its own strength, it has a lot to do with the company's promotion and operation, but resources are limited, so Xuangui will naturally put these resources on works with more potential .

Li Xi understands that, obviously, if there is no other work that can show the influence beyond the initial D in the future, then this work will be bombarded by Xuangui's publicity in the whole Dragon Kingdom, and many comic lovers will be attracted to it. are aware of this work.

Basically, Tang Xin experienced this kind of treatment two years ago, so Tang Xin has now entered the ranks of the top cartoonists in Shanghai. Although she barely reached this position in terms of her popularity and influence, Tang Xin's advantage is that he is young, and there are infinite possibilities when he is young, and Chu Yu also has this advantage.

"Anyway, that's the company's decision. It's okay to ask you to come here. I just want to tell you about the company's development direction in the future, and... to fulfill my duties as a comic editor. If there is no need , go to Shui Xin to avoid any suspension of publication and suspension of serialization during this period!" Deng He said in a deep voice.

"I see!" Li Xi nodded.

After talking with Deng He again, Li Xi left Deng He's office.

Deng He, who was alone in the office, tapped his fingers on the table, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He remembered what Li Xi said at the serialization meeting where Li Xi proposed to serialize Natsume's Account of Friends.

Shui Xin is only one chance away. After one chance, he will show the potential not to lose to Tang Xin.

Now it seems that this is true, not to mention not losing to Tang Xin, even Deng He can vaguely feel that if the follow-up plot of the work of Initial D can be even more exciting, then maybe this young man named Chu Yu can rely on it. It is very hopeful that this manga will surpass Tang Xin and become one of the top manga artists in Shanghai.

.......

In addition to dealing with various things in the company, the manga editor's job is to urge drafts or discuss manga plots with manga artists at their homes.

So, after Li Xi took care of some trivial matters in the company, he came to Tang Xin's high-end community again after a day to check on Tang Xin's comic drawing.

Taking out the key of Tang Xin's house, Li Xi quickly opened the door...

Inside the room, as expected, several of Tang Xin's female comic assistants were seriously drawing comics, and Tang Xin, the author of the work, turned on the computer and wore headphones, playing games there.

Li Xi's complexion turned pale all of a sudden.

Walking to Tang Xin's side, she knocked on the table.

Wearing earphones, Tang Xin was very focused on the racing game in front of her. She only glanced at the color of Li Xi's clothes, thinking that Li Xi was one of her assistants, Fan Qian.

"Sister Qian, can I trouble you to bring me a bag of potato chips and a can of Coke?" Tang Xin said coquettishly in a pitiful voice.

Soon, potato chips and coke were brought to her table.

But at the same time, a voice that made her familiar and afraid sounded.

"Is this game fun?"

"Does potato chips and coke go well with playing games?"

"However, what I want to ask is...... Where are your comic drawings?"

Tang Xin looked up and saw that it was Li Xi. His expression froze at first, and then he immediately turned off the computer screen and the host at lightning speed.

"Li Xi, why are you here?" Tang Xin asked nervously, looking around, not daring to look directly at Li Xi.

Chapter 176 Li Xi and Tang Xin

"Why am I here? As your editor, I can't come?"

Li Xi's tone and expression at this time were completely different from those when he was talking to Chu Yu, and there was a trace of anger in his sternness.

Of course, these are all fake appearances, and it is impossible for Li Xi to be really angry about this kind of thing, otherwise she would have died of anger because of these things after all these years with Tang Xin.

But Tang Xin, Li Xi's most skilled fisherman since his career, Li Xi can only scare her like this.

"When...Of course...you can come!" Tang Xin said submissively, then hurriedly left her computer desk, pretended to go back to her drawing desk, and put on a With his head scarf that says "I don't sleep until I finish the manuscript", I pick up the paintbrush with a look of determination.

"Okay, stop pretending?" Li Xi said.

"You didn't look like this when you played the game before."

In the room, Tang Xin's four assistants were all holding back their laughter. This kind of situation would happen every few days.

"Who said I played games..." Hearing Li Xi's words, Tang Xin began to argue.

"Then what are you doing?" Li Xi stared at her.
