I just want to draw cartoons quietly

........

October [-]th, a day that seems ordinary to ordinary Longguo people.

But for fans of Natsume's Account of Friends, it has been a long-awaited one.

Early in the morning, Xuangui asked Li Xi to come and pick up Chuyu to the headquarters of Xuangui company.

As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a unique comic book company-style interior.

Those cartoons that have left enough imprints in the history of Xuangui for so many years were framed and hung on both sides of the long corridor after entering the door.

Even Chuyu saw pictures of his Natsume's Book of Friends and Initial D works.

Along the way, the staff members encountered on the road greeted Li Xi proactively. It seemed that Li Xi's status in Xuangui was not low.

It's just that when those people saw Chu Yu following behind Li Xi, they basically looked puzzled at first, but immediately they had an expression of remembering something, and when their expressions changed, they clearly recognized Chu Yu's identity, and discussed in a low voice leave.

"Aren't you going to the venue? Why are you here?" Chu Yu asked suspiciously.

"After all, you are one of our company's signature cartoonists now. How should I put it? After all, today is the book signing event of your Natsume Friends Account. At that time, there may be fans taking pictures with you, or there may be relevant media coming over. Taking pictures, you just wear a black T-shirt, sweatpants and sneakers, this is too informal!" Li Xi said while walking.

"So I brought you here to change clothes, put on some makeup, and get a haircut!"

While speaking, Li Xi pushed away the related dressing room specially set up inside Xuan Gui.

Inside, several professionals invited by Xuan Gui were waiting inside.

what's the situation?

Before Chu Yu could react, she was pushed up by Li Xi and handed over to those people...

An hour later, Chu Yu walked out of the room with a tired face.

He changed into a formal suit, his hair was styled, and his face was painted a few times with makeup by those people.

Anyway, looking at it now, the whole person has changed from the somewhat nerdy look before to the image of a sunny youth.

"It's unnecessary. It's a waste of an hour. I'm not a star!" Chu Yu said directly after coming out.

"Having a good image is very helpful for the popularity of your future works! Don't think that the image of a manga artist is not important. In the past, there was a popular girl manga artist in Longguo who kept hiding her real identity, but after her identity was exposed, she turned out to be a 40-year-old manga artist. Many years old greasy uncle...... All of a sudden, many of his former female fans ran away, and the popularity of comics also dropped greatly." Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Your Natsume Friends account also has a lot of female fans, so naturally you can't make this kind of mistake. Although you don't look handsome, your height, frame, and figure are all okay. After changing your clothes, you can modify your hair style. After a while..."

Having said that, Li Xi looked at Chu Yu carefully.

"Honestly speaking, if you play the role of the fourth male and the fifth male in a TV series, you shouldn't be complained by the audience!"

"You should spend some of the money you earn on your personal image!".

"You still have potential, it's just that you didn't pay attention to these before, otherwise you wouldn't be single now..." Li Xi complained about Chu Yu by the way.

The two have also been together for a long time, and Li Xi, who has always been sarcastic to others after getting acquainted, would occasionally make fun of Chu Yu.

"is it?"

Chu Yu looked at his current image reflected in the glass, and automatically ignored some irrelevant issues.

From his point of view, the feeling is not much different from before, Xuangui's money was wasted!

"Don't look, the scheduled time is coming soon, it is said that there are already many fans of Natsume's Friendsbook waiting for you in the venue arranged now!"

Li Xi hurriedly asked Chu Yu to follow.

.......

However, after arriving at the venue, Chu Yu entered through the backstage passage...

There was a wave of warm cheers at the scene.

Chu Yu froze for a moment.

What's the situation?

It was completely different from the scene of hundreds of people he imagined.

At a glance, the number of people was at least several times what Chu Yu expected, and there were still people entering the arena one after another.

"Here we come, I didn't expect Teacher Shui Xin to be so young!"

"And I feel that the image is not bad, it looks a bit attractive! I haven't seen the real-life information of Teacher Shui Xin before, but fortunately he is not a middle-aged uncle. Otherwise, a gentle character like Natsume was drawn by a middle-aged uncle. That is really fantasy. Shattered!"

"What is Mr. Shui Xin doing standing there? Is he a little too scared?"

"I heard that I just turned 20 years old, and the age gap between Natsume and Natsume was not that big when I started drawing manga. Maybe it's the prototype of Natsume's character."

.......

Among the crowd, Chu Yu's comic fans were talking about it.

Chu Yu, on the other hand, retreated a bit and wanted to run away.

With so many people, when will this event be held?

But it's all here, and you can't run away.

Chu Yu took a deep breath, and had no choice but to bite the bullet!

Chapter 200 Questions

"Um...Hello everyone, I am Shuixin, the author of Natsume's Book of Friends.... My real name is Chu Yu! I'm very glad, everyone..." Chu Yu was a little intermittent Said.

After all, I didn't make any good drafts at the beginning, so I didn't play very smoothly on the spot.

Before entering the arena, a staff member handed Chu Yu the microphone, and Chu Yu went over to introduce himself under the signal of the supporter.

But before he finished speaking, the cheers of the fans at the scene interrupted his speech.

I have to say that although Chu Yu thinks that the effect of Li Xi taking him to dress up is not much different from his original self, in fact, in the eyes of most people, the current Chu Yu's image is obviously much better.

Although it still doesn't go well with being handsome, at least being close to Toshiro satisfies the psychological expectations of most fans of Natsume's Book of Friends.

After all... most of the cartoonists in Longguo are greasy and bald men, with female aunt faces, all of which are the consequences of staying up late for a long time to rush to draft.

There are not many young cartoonists with good image, temperament and appearance like Tang Xin.

"..." Chu Yu.

It's so troublesome, if I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have come!

However, after Chu Yu introduced a wave, the host also took the opportunity to play.

"Okay, I believe that all the fans at the scene are already eagerly waiting for the signing event to start, but I believe that before the signing event starts...you will definitely have some questions to ask Teacher Shuixin!" The host was a sweet-looking woman standing beside Chu Yu.

This is the second time for Chu Yu to experience a similar scene. It was just the first time when the Dragon Star Awards were presented, there was a mixed crowd of mermaids and dragons in the audience, but this time... the group of people in front of him were all his fans. .

In the past, Chu Yu just drew comics by himself every day, played games, and made animations. Although people around him have been telling him that he is now a famous cartoonist and has many fans in Longguo, but in his heart There is never a concept!

But now, Chu Yu finally had a clear idea.

"That's right!"

"Of course there are a lot of questions to ask!"

"Is there still such a link?"

.........

Regarding the series of procedures after coming to power, Chu Yu had heard from Li Xi before, so he also made some preparations.

"Well, today is also a rare opportunity for the most mysterious teacher Shui Xin in Shanghai to show up. We will select three fans to ask questions to Teacher Shui Xin. Everyone in the audience has a chance. Everyone can think about it now. When the time comes, I will be drawn, what questions do I want to ask Teacher Shui Xin?" The hostess said with a smile.

As for Chu Yu, the eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the mouth... It feels a bit like standing on the stage in a military posture...  

After a pause, the activity that the hostess said started soon.

First of all, the first fan randomly selected by the computer based on the seat number is a girl about the age who is still in high school. It looks cute!

"Excuse me, host, can I ask any questions?" the girl asked with a microphone.

"That's right!" The hostess beside Chu Yu said with a smile.

"Of course, those vulgar and illegal questions are not allowed to be asked!"

The girl nodded.

"Mr. Shuixin, do you have a girlfriend?" The girl looked at Chu Yu curiously.

All of a sudden, the noisy environment became quiet. This problem is obvious, and many people are interested.

Chu Yu looked at the host next to him, his eyes were asking her.

Is it okay not to answer this kind of question, is it too nutritious?

that's not allowed!

The hostess winked, and Chu Yu could even tell that she seemed interested in this question as well.

"Um...no!"

Chu Yu replied briefly.

But soon, a group of fans in the audience became inexplicably excited, and the scene became noisy again.

Chu Yu has black lines on his face, what's so exciting about this?

The first question is over!

Soon, No.2 fans will be drawn.

It was a girl who was a bit overweight.

"Hello, Teacher Shuixin, I am a fan of Natsume's Friends Account, and at the same time, I am also a fan of Unheard Hana Animation. May I ask Teacher Shuixin, it is said that you have recently written and invested in two works of script, Second Speed ​​[-] Centimeter and Voice of the Stars will be aired in January next year, I would like to ask Mr. Shui Xin, what do you think of these two works compared to your previous works, which have no known names?"

Isn't this the signing event of Natsume's Book of Friends?

Why are these people asking about Miaowu and Xingzhisheng?

But Chu Yu thought about it, even if this person's question went astray, it was better than the previous question about his privacy!

And just in time, I can also let my fans know more about the two works and arouse their interest!

Chu Yu picked up the microphone and spoke.

"As many people know, Unheard Hana is my first attempt at animation. As far as the results are concerned, it seems to be good. Many people like this work!"

"But if you want to ask me whether these three works are good or bad, it is difficult for me to choose, because they are all my works. But what I can only say is that in my heart, the two works of [-] Centimeters Per Second and The Voice of the Stars are not as good as the unfinished works. It's a bad reputation!"

.......

"real or fake?"

"It's just two short animations, maybe the plot is not clear, can it be compared to Unheard Huaming?"

"Maybe it's not bad in other senses. For example, in the field of funny animations, love animations, and tear-jerking animations, I really have never heard of it. Even if it is Teacher Shuixin, I don't think he can still create powerful animations." It is a work comparable to the tearjerker who has never heard of a name."

"Indeed, the two animations add up to less than one and a half hours. It's still a bit difficult to reach the level comparable to Unheard Huaming, after all, the length is relatively short!"

Among the Natsume fans in the audience, there were obviously a lot of unknown fans, and they also had a heated discussion after Chu Yu finished speaking.

Naturally, Chu Yu could also hear some nearby discussions.

It doesn't matter to him, anyway, after the broadcast, they will know what kind of work it is after watching it, and it's useless to say more now.

It's just that it's Natsume's account signing event after all, so it's definitely not appropriate to always discuss these issues, so Chu Yu also said something more.

"Also, Natsume's Book of Friends will be broadcast in April next year, and I hope everyone will support it!"

"understand!"

"It will be time!"

Soon, the third fan was also drawn out.

Just look at her outfit, a suit and trousers, a work card on her chest, and even a camera in her hand...

Obviously, it was some animation news periodicals, or reporters from websites who came to collect materials on the spot.

She didn't expect that the third chance to ask questions would be here with her.

She picked up the receiver and thought for a while.

"Mr. Shui Xin, the animations that are expected to be broadcast in January next year include your two works of 43 Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars. There are a total of 2022 works, among which there are many works by the famous script writer Chen Qizhuang in Shanghai, and Ye Ling The heartbeat of love, and even the new work of Lu Mu, known as the "Heroine's Disaster" in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, The Frozen Witch! Since Mr. Shui Xin said that the quality of [-] Centimeters per Second and the Voice of Stars is not inferior to the unheard flower name, That is to say... Teacher Shuixin, you are confident that with these two short works, you can beat the three masterpieces in January, as if you have never heard of a name, and you will continue to be the most popular animation broadcast in the spring of [-] right!"

Li Xi in the audience frowned upon hearing this.
