I just want to draw cartoons quietly

However, these benefits will definitely be settled to him in 2022, and the broadcast of Natsume’s Account of Friends in April may drive the sales of manga booklets. A huge payoff.

In 2021, Chu Yu's total income after tax will be 300 million, and in 2022, this number may be more than three or four times...

Chu Yu was just idling and doing calculations, and he was a little confused. In the end, he could only sigh...the animation industry is good, and the money is coming in faster than stealing it.

But this is also normal. In the parallel world of Japan, the annual income of top cartoonists is as much as RMB [-] million, while in the plane of Dragon Kingdom, which has a large population advantage, the income of the top cartoonists is in the tens of millions a year. There are several Yilong national coins, and Chu Yu is now... compared with those people, there is still a big gap.

But if it continues to develop step by step in this way, if everything goes well, maybe two or three years later, when people mention the name of the top cartoonist in the Dragon Kingdom, they will definitely think of Chu Yu's name.

But seven or eight years later, when people mentioned the top cartoonist in Long Kingdom...they might only have Chu Yu in their minds.

The concept of the former is completely different from the latter......

And Chu Yu is also working hard to become the latter.

........

Although it is during the Chinese New Year, it still does not affect the enthusiasm of comic fans in the slightest.

The current plot of Initial D is entering a climax.

After Usui's No.1 female driver Sato Mako asked Ikegani, Takumi finally agreed to race with her on Usui Mountain Road...

However, in this plot, the audience basically understands that there are actually two narrative lines in this plot, one is the match between Mako Sato and Takumi Fujiwara... For the invincible 86 run in Akinayama Fans are also looking forward to what kind of performance they will have after arriving in Ubing.

The other line is mainly about the love line between Iketani and Sato Mako. The meeting between Iketani and Sato Mako was just accidental, but in the process, the two admired each other. Sato Mako was afraid that Iketani would not like her as a female driver. And concealed from Ikegani that she is the fastest driver on the Ubing Mountain Road... And because of this, Iketani thought that Mako Sato was really an ordinary person and showed her his driver's identity and driving skills to her... .

It's a pity that Mako Sato's true identity was exposed during an encounter on Ubing Mountain Road.

Chi Gu suffered a blow in an instant. After all, he was crushed by the girl he liked in the thing he was most proud of... racing, and his inferiority complex made him very depressed when getting along with Mako.

But Mako Sato couldn't detect Ikegani's true thoughts because she had never been in a relationship, so she asked Ikegani to invite Takumi out to compete with her... She gave up her status as a racing driver and formally dated Ikegani …

And Iketani was depressed at first, and Mako Sato's words hit his self-esteem even more.

After all, what he hopes is that Mako Sato likes him and associates with him, rather than exchanging this as a condition like a transaction.

But he agreed to Mako's words, not because he agreed to Mako's conditions, but because he wanted to fulfill Mako's wish.

Although Ikegani in the comics has more thoughts and is more sensitive, but the fans who read the comics don't have so many thoughts.

"Damn it, Chi Gu is not a man, he is obviously looking for a reason to be with you, why do you always think so much?"

"Originally, if Mako doesn't like you, even if you invite Takumi to race her for ten races, she won't be able to date you. What are you thinking?"

"Did you see? Straight men are scary... Not only do they not understand girls' minds, but they are also fragile and sensitive, with strong self-esteem... If it were me, please give me a girl like Mako A dozen."

"Hey, a straight guy meets a simple girl, it seems really urgent... But finally, a pair of normal lovers appeared in Mr. Shuixin's work, I can't think of Mako and Ikeda who like each other How can the teacher Shuixin abuse the person, Takeuchi lost love, because he was obviously not good at driving, and he took his sister to drag the car to pretend to be aggressive, and scared the girl away after a car accident, but it is impossible for Iketani to just because of Mako's driving skills. He's good, just ignore Mako. Although the two of them obviously misunderstood each other in the plot, it's because Iketani thinks too much and people are too sensitive. It should be fine to enlighten this kind of thing.. ..."

"Don't mention the above, if the final plot really separates Ikegani and Mako, the protagonist trio in the first text D will be all single drivers. Takumi Fujiwara, a straight man, said "drivers don't need women" The famous Takeuchi tree, and Iketani... all three of them have been hurt by women, and then chose to give up women, and spend the rest of their lives with the car, these three people get together really fit the occasion."

"Where is Takumi single, and he has never been hurt by a girl! Doesn't he have Mogi Natsuki?"

"Above, do you really think that Takumi and Natsuki can get together? In the end Takumi found out about the existence of Natsuki's godfather, do you think he can still be okay with Natsuki?"

........

As for Initial D, after more than half a year of serialization, the popularity in Dragon Kingdom has gradually stabilized. Although the number of fans is still growing, the momentum is definitely not as good as when it was serialized at the beginning. If an animation of this level wants to gain a huge increase in popularity, it basically depends on animation, but... Even so, there is no animation of the initial D, and the popularity vote on the water edge is still very low nowadays. It's approaching the Dream World, and the gap between the two works is very small. Maybe after a certain serialization, the initial D will overtake the Dream World and reach the top of Shui Yuan?

Chu Yu is also looking forward to this... After all, that also means that the system will issue rewards again.

Although the world points that Chuyu has obtained in the past two years have never been used, the accumulated amount is enough for Chuyu to exchange for a work of the highest quality in A-level, such as the feature film of Rurouni Kenshin... .If he wants to draw this work, he can exchange it directly with the world points he has saved, A Dream of Yuan Jianxin Fan...But because of copyright issues, Chu Yu can't serialize it after redeeming it.

Moreover, Chu Yu keeps these world points for other purposes. After all, it seems that if a period of time passes, the world points accumulated by Chu Yu will be enough for him to exchange for an S-level work with an average point. Now use it to exchange for A He was a little bit reluctant.

After all, world points are different from lottery draws. Chu Yu has no idea what works will be drawn in lottery draws, but the exchange of world points, as long as the number is sufficient, is the exchange of designated works.

Moreover, if Chu Yu doesn't keep these things, if the system draws out a work that destroys the three views for him... For example, what day is on the campus, X's sky and other works... ...Then Chu Yu may have to keep it for himself to appreciate. At that time, if he wants to continue to serialize new works, and there will be no lottery rewards given by the system, then it will be the time for this world point to play a role.

However, according to Chu Yu's estimate, his new wave of system rewards should arrive soon.

Approaching After all, it seems that the dominance of [-] Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars in the spring animation cannot be challenged. If after February and March, there are no dark horses after the spring animation is fully broadcast, it is estimated that it will be May and June...... The reward for the most popular animation in spring will arrive in your account.

And Natsume’s Book of Friends will be adapted and aired after April. Judging from the current popularity of Natsume’s Book of Friends, if the popularity rises after the broadcast, if it wants to be like Dream World for a long time, it will occupy the first place in Shuiyuan Journal It's not very possible to get the title... But once in a while, it is very likely to reach the top of the water edge. According to the system's standards, as long as one of the rounds meets this standard, there will naturally be rewards.

As for whether the initial D can reach the top of the water edge, Chu Yu is not worried at all. The gap between this work and the dream world is very small. If it is animated, then the summit of the water edge will definitely be a matter of course... ...that's nothing to worry about.

Now Chu Yu just needs to wait quietly for the time to come.

It's just...... what Chu Yu is worried about now is...... If everything goes well in the end and three works are really drawn out, what should he do?

Chuyu is already very busy with double comics and one animation. Adding three works...if you serialize five works at the same time...that is ruthless... Chu Yu estimated that he would be drained of his last drop of energy.

Fortunately, the initial D and Natsume's account of friends are not too long...... For the serialization of the initial D, Chu Yu just wanted to serialize this work to Takumi and finally chose to join Takahashi Ryosuke's team. Alright, the story of Akinayama Rider... It is enough for it to end in Akinayama.

In the original manga, Takumi’s story after he joined Takahashi Ryosuke’s team... In Chu Yu’s opinion, although it is also very good, there is no doubt that the subsequent plot is much worse than the previous one. If it ends When Takumi is about to join the Ryosuke team, leaving readers in suspense, this work is an out-and-out classic.

As for Natsume's Book of Friends, in terms of its length, Chu Yu may have to serialize for about two years before he can finish serializing all the existing plots, but this work is still in the monthly update state in the system space, Sometimes even after a few months of updating, Chu Yu feels that if he wants to finish this work in Longguo, he may not be able to finish it in the system space after drawing the previous plot... Chu Yu also felt a little cheated.

Anyway, he is just letting nature take its course now. Before there is any better plan for a new work, or before the end of the current series, he will continue to serialize Natsume. If he gets a better work and lacks energy, he will stop at that time. This work is serialized, it is okay to fatten up this work and resume serialization.

With all kinds of thoughts, Chu Yu's 2022 Spring Festival has been spent like this...

Come February.

After a week of recuperation after the Spring Festival, everyone returned to their respective jobs.

Gu Yan didn't stay at home too much, after all, she was not an idler, and the office also had various things. After Second Five and Voice of the Stars, there were more dubbing invitations for various animation productions.

However, on the morning of the first day she returned to Shanghai, she knocked on the door of Chu Yu's house early in the morning.

After she made her thoughts clear, she was no longer restrained when getting along with Chu Yu, although it seemed the same as before.

But the way she looks at Chu Yu is completely different......

In particular, she also brought a bunch of gifts to Chu Yu, and it was not good for Chu Yu to accept them, or not to accept them.

But fortunately, Gu Yan also knows that Chu Yu's view of her is only at the friend stage, so her behavior is in the category of friends, and she didn't dress up emotionally to seduce Chu as her friend suggested. Yu.

For one thing, she didn't like that, and she felt that if she really did that, it might have the opposite effect.

Secondly, it is because she has confidence in herself. Although Chu Yu has not fallen in love with her yet...but also, Chu Yu has not fallen in love with anyone so far...and Chu Yu's I also told her about my thoughts, one day, I should be able to find someone to associate with...

The reason why Gu Yan has not given up on Chu Yu after being rejected by Chu Yu is because of this reason, no matter what day comes, but the important thing is that it will come......

There is an old saying in Longguo that if you are close to the water, you will get the moon first... Anyway, Gu Yan has a lot of patience.

Maybe that's the case... Chu Yu, who gets along with Gu Yan, always feels like a little white rabbit, feeling like being targeted by Gu Yan, a big bad wolf.

"Is this the girl in love? The aura is different, it's really scary!" Chu Yu could only sigh in the end. .

........

While Chu Yu was worrying about these things, the plot of the Initial D Ubing chapter also entered the official competition stage after several weeks of laying the groundwork.

Chapter 248

It's been an utterly uncomfortable year for Initial D fans.

Because the plot of the initial D happened to be stuck at the beginning of the match between Takumi and Sato Mako...

Looking at Takumi's previous matches, they were all held in Akina Mountain Road. At the beginning, Keisuke Takahashi came to seek abuse by himself, and then, the confident Nakazato Takeshi also came to seek abuse. ...... And then Shingo, in order to compete with Takumi, even got Takumi's friend to be hospitalized.

But Sato Mako is different. She asks Takumi to compete with her on Usui Mountain Road.

This in itself is very attractive to manga fans, and they also have doubts in their hearts, what is Takumi's strength after leaving Qiu Mingshan?Those people lost to Takumi Fujiwara before, did they lose to Takumi's driving skills... or did they lose to Takumi's familiarity with Mount Akina?

If Takumi can still maintain the oppressive force of the Akinayama Kazuto race on an unfamiliar track...then the answer to this question will be known.

The race against Mako Sato was a chase. Because of the narrowness of the road, as long as the car in front goes first in the race on Ubing Mountain Road, it will have an absolute advantage. So as long as the car starts fast enough, the car behind will Basically it is difficult to overtake on this kind of terrain, then the skills of the racers are meaningless.....

Therefore, the way of racing on Ubing Mountain Road is to decide the position of the front and rear cars before the race. As long as the front car throws the rear car away, the result of the victory will be drawn immediately. The rematch continues until the winner is determined.

Because it was Mako Sato who asked Takumi to come to the Usui competition, Mako Sato and her navigator Sayuki proposed... Takumi could choose whether to be the front car or the rear car.

And Takumi, contrary to everyone's expectations, chose to move forward...

Not only Takumi's friends were surprised, but even Mako and Sayuki were angry.

Because according to the rules of the game, even if it can't get rid of the car behind, it is not considered a loser, but in the next round of competition, the position will be changed to the rear.

Moreover, Takumi has never run on the Ubing Mountain Road, so he chose the front car position in the first round, and he can also get familiar with the mountain road route.

But they didn't expect that Takumi chose to be on the Usui track decisively... In the first round of the race, he will compete with the duo of Mako Sato, who is recognized as the fastest driver on the Ususan road, and her navigator Shayuki. burden.

From Sato Mako and Shayuki's point of view, Takumi obviously... didn't take them seriously.

The expression of Mako Sato, who had always been gentle in the previous comics, immediately changed.

And in the comics that have been serialized for more than ten days in February, the competition between the two sides has entered a fierce stage.

As soon as the game started...Mako Sato and Sayuki wanted to throw Kai Kai directly.

And Takumi, who was chasing behind, also felt the tremendous pressure from the combination of Mako Sato and Sayuki.

Although Takumi is not familiar with the terrain, it is not a big reason for the autumn famous mountain, but there is no doubt that the combination of female racers on the other side is also very strong......

At least, for the enemies he met before, whether it was Keisuke Takahashi, Takeshi Nakazato or Shingo, Takumi's expressions were all with ease.

But Takumi, who was following the opponent's car, had a serious expression and sweat broke out on his forehead.

But Takumi is not the only one who is anxious, the same... there are Mako and Sayuki who are in front.

Even though the combination of the two had tried their best, they still couldn't get rid of Takumi's 86.

In this way, in the continuous pursuit of both sides, the two cars finally came to the classic curve C=121 of Ubingshan Road.

There, three Usando local passer-by racers were there discussing the combination of Mako and Sayuki.

Fans who watch the comics can know it from their words and the pictures of the comics.

On the Ubing Mountain Road, the most difficult corner is the C=121, which is no longer as simple as a U-shaped corner...... The whole shape seems to be only a short distance away Just a closed circle, on the Ubing Mountain Road....... there are only a handful of people who can use drift to float from the entrance to the exit in one breath. The people who enter the corner and then drift out of the corner... Only the sli-80 driven by Mako and Shayuki.

The average manga reader sees this, and the thought in his heart is, "Oh...that's how it is".

But comic readers with some brains will understand that this place is a key turning point in Mako Takumi's competition.

Because the race between Makoto and Takumi is a chase, according to the trio of passers-by, even on the Usui mountain road full of expert racers, only Mako can drift through the C=121 curve at full speed, and Takumi.......It is the first time to run Ubingshan Road, but if he can't run at full speed on this curve for the first time, then when he exits this curve, he will also Will be thrown away by Mako... and thus lose.

The comic fans who saw this here were looking forward to it and feeling anxious.

What I am looking forward to is what kind of posture Takumi will take to get through this corner........ What I am worried about is, will Takumi lose?

After all, looking at it now, the combination of Makoto and Sha Xue is definitely the strongest opponent that Takumi has encountered so far. None of the previous opponents brought such pressure to Takumi.

Under such circumstances, the bragging trio at C=121 finally heard the sound of a car going down the mountain road.

They also became excited all of a sudden, wondering whether the car going down the mountain was Mako's sli-80 that they had been discussing all the time.

After a short time...... what appeared in front of them was the fastest sli-80 on the Ubing Mountain Road, and... an 86.

It is a familiar formula and a familiar taste. Although they have already prepared themselves, the fans who saw the initial D here are still excited.

"There is no oncoming car, let's go gorgeously, Mako!"

In the manga, Sha Xue sat in the passenger seat and said to Mako.

The sli-80 immediately accelerated towards the curve, and Takumi, who was following behind, also accelerated to cross the curve at almost the same speed.

Because, if you hesitate here, if you are afraid and don't dare to rush at full speed, then the game will be over.

The next scene... instantly caught the attention of fans...

86 and sli-80 two cars, the rear of the car flicked almost at the same time, the rear of the car was infinitely approaching the protective fence on the side of the road, but they did not touch it.

The trio who were watching the battle at the corner were immediately stunned, thinking that the 86 was crazy?Dare to pass this curve at the same speed as Makoto's car, it will definitely not succeed.

And the inner narration of Sha Xue in the comics also told the fans that at this corner, after entering the corner at full speed, she still wants to drift out of the corner smoothly... Although it seems that there are many routes, but in fact... .....there is only one correct route.

Neither Shayuki nor Mako thought that Takumi, who ran this corner for the first time, could see the only correct route.

But.......the final result......is completely different from what they thought.

In the manga, when exiting the corner....... The 86 driven by Takumi not only drifted out of the corner correctly.

And obviously...his corner exit is much better than Mako's.

Compared with the sli-80, the whole car is closer to the inner curve. If it is not so narrow in the Ubing Mountain Road, it is difficult to overtake. Just in this corner... 86 can achieve overtaking after exiting the corner.

The trio of passers-by stared blankly, and immediately thought of the recently rumored Qiu Mingshan 86, and wondered if it was it.

Mako, who was driving the car seriously, didn't pay attention to Takumi's situation, but Sayuki, who was Mako's navigator...was very depressed.

Because she can see that even Mako, who has been running on the Ubing Mountain Road all year round, is five centimeters away from the theoretically optimal line when cornering this curve, but the 86 in the car behind is on the first pass. At this corner, I found the correct line, and... passed this corner without any mistakes or errors.

Sha Xue immediately realized that the 86 in the rear car was a monster.
