I just want to draw cartoons quietly

"Are you really addicted to come here to eat and drink?" Chu Yu said coldly.

"What's rubbing? Didn't I buy all the ingredients?" Su Zhi said with a smile when he heard the words.

Since the three of them drank together two weeks ago, the relationship between the three seems to have changed a little.

Apart from the cooperative relationship in their respective identities, it seems that their relationship with each other is moving closer to friends.

At least when Chu Yu met Zhao Qinyin at school during this time, the two would stop and chat for a few words.

There is a lot less strangeness between each other, and a lot less guard.

And since Su Yu came to discuss some comic matters with Chu Yu last week, after Chu Yu cooked a table of meals for her, she ran to Chu Yu's place every three days. Originally, Chu Yu was too lazy to order takeaway for dinner. The problem is, she is good. Every time she comes, she buys a bunch of dishes she wants to eat. The name is to add a little nutrition to the cartoonists under her banner, so as to save the trouble of eating takeaway. In fact, she wants Chuyu to cook. Give her food.

Ugh.......

Chu Yu was a little speechless, gave her a blank look, took out the key and opened the door.

It is already December, and the temperature has dropped sharply, and there will be white mist escaping between the nose and exhale.

Chu Yu said after looking at the ingredients Su Yu bought.

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

"Yes yes yes! I listened to Chef Chu!" After finishing speaking, Su Bao ran to the stove, turned on the electricity and sat watching TV.

Looking at it like this, Chu Yu did it alone again.

Shaking her head, Chu Yu didn't bother to talk nonsense, she washed rice, vegetables, cut meat, boiled water by herself...

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

Su Yu ran over and opened the door.

It was Zhao Qinyin.

"Come?" Chu Yu nodded.

"Okay, let's have dinner together!"

Today is the day when the first chapter of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories is released, and it is also the first day that Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin made an appointment to continue to work as assistants for the follow-up manga of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories.

Originally, Chu Yu wanted to invite Zhao Qinyin out for dinner, but it didn't bother him when Su Bing bought some vegetables!

Zhao Qinyin was hesitant at first, but the two couldn't help persuading her.

Stove, hot pot, three people in a circle, boiling mist.

For a moment, Chu Yu felt that his home was much more lively. Since his parents were gone, he rarely experienced such a feeling.

Su Yu kept smiling, and Zhao Qinyin unconsciously had a slight smile on his face. Although Chu Yu was still serious, his eyes softened a lot.

.......

It's different from Chuyu's author, assistant, and editor's easy meals.

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

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

"The results of the popularity poll are out."

"The Demon Realm is number one, with more than [-] votes cast."

"Secret girl is second, with more than [-] votes."

"Tianshu is third, with just over [-] votes."

"It's not bad. The results of the first chapter of the secret girl have caught up with the original two giants of Manying. Now with you, these three works are the three giants of Manying! The momentum continues, and the summit is just around the corner!" Song Jiayu looked Seems to be in a good mood.

"What about the memory of Rurouni Kenshin?" Dong Yun asked.

"Is that work?" Song Jiayu smiled.

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

"The number of votes in 11 hours is only a little over [-] votes, ranking No. [-] among the [-] works serialized by Manying. It seems that my guess is correct. Although his work is of high quality, RB The setting of a human being as the protagonist still has a huge impact! And I also used my strength to give up the promotional resources originally for this work to the secret girl." Song Jiayu sneered.

"Even if the quality of this work is high, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. A work does not mean that it can become popular after being published on a good platform. Quality is very important, and so is publicity. Otherwise, there will not be so many movies every year. Cut the work in half."

"Perhaps the results of this issue are the pinnacle of this work, and the popularity will become lower and lower in the future, and it will be cut in half in the end?" Song Jiayu said.

"The situation hasn't been decided yet, so don't jump to conclusions." Dong Yun put on light makeup today, but the pretty makeup couldn't hide the seriousness on her face.

"You said before that the main reason for this work is that the third chapter is too amazing, especially the last scene of the third chapter. Because of the length of the new serialization, Rurouni Kenshin and the secret girl both serialized two chapters in the first issue."

"Since this is the case, until the results of the voting for Manying's serial works are announced next week, we cannot determine the results of this work.

.......

Chapter 28 Decisions

After eating and drinking, the three of them sat around the stove.

"Okay, I have some news to tell you!" Su Zhi took out his phone and said suddenly.

"The voting ranking for the [-]-hour release of Manying is out today." Su Bao changed his previous laugh and looked at Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin.

Su Yu's words immediately attracted the attention of the two of them.

"Over 11 votes, ranking No. [-]." Su Zhi didn't hold back.

"More than 4000 votes, so many?"

"More than 4000 votes, so few?"

Zhao Qinyin and Chu Yu spoke almost together, and after they finished speaking, they looked at each other.

For Zhao Qinyin, the submission of manuscripts has not been able to get the chance to be serialized for three whole years. For her, more than 4000 people are willing to use mobile computers to log in to the voting website to vote for the work within [-] hours of the publication of the first chapter. One vote is already a big deal.

But it was completely different for Chu Yu. You must know that even when Chu Yu was serializing Words and Leaves on Moying, the number of votes in the last two issues was almost [-].

Although this has already broken the record for the number of votes for a work on Mokage, Mokage is only a journal with a circulation of tens of thousands and can still have so many votes. The journal with a sales volume of more than 30 per issue has only such results...

"Don't worry, this is just the first chapter..." Seeing Chu Yu's dignified face, Su Yu was also a little nervous, but still patted him on the shoulder.

"Have you forgotten that when the first episode of The Garden of Words and Leaves was serialized, there were less than 3000 votes, and in the end, there were more than [-] people supporting you?"

"If Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences can develop according to this momentum, it will be no problem to enter the top five in the voting."

To be honest, Su Zhe has great expectations for Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences. Over the years in Cuttlefish Comics Club, although Su Zhe has brought several works to be serialized on Manying, the results are all average without exception. .

Only Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences actually defeated Dong Yun's new work by an absolute advantage at the serialization meeting to get the chance to be serialized, and also hit Song Jiayu out of anger by the way.

At that moment, even Su Yu fantasized in his heart that this work would become a hit after the serialization of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, but the reality is not so simple.

Although Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences indeed beat the secret girl to get the chance to be serialized, but in fact it was the secret girl who won the recommended resources of the manga club. The bus, subway station, and underground passages in Mingshi are the cuttlefish manga club. The advertisements delivered were all about Dong Yun's new work, The Secret Girl, and Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences seemed to be forgotten by the manga club, and did not receive any support.

Su Yu also felt deeply powerless in this regard. Compared with Song Jiayu, who has a deep background, she is indeed a soft-spoken person. Even if the editor-in-chief Pang Feng proposed to allocate some resources to the memory of Rurouni Kenshin at the meeting, she was rejected by the operation department. up.

Thinking of this, although she was comforting Chu Yu, her eyes were red as she spoke.

"I'm sorry..." Sousuke said in a low voice.

Both Zhao Qinyin and Chu Yu were a little taken aback.

"Ah?" Chu Yu looked at her.

"why apologize....."

"With the quality of Rurouni Kenshin, if it weren't for my editor, the results would definitely be much better..."

"Why are you bringing this up again?" Chu Yu shook his head.

"When you proposed to change the editor for me, I didn't agree to it, didn't it just pass?"

"How can there be so many ifs in this kind of thing!"

"At the beginning, Yan Yezhiting submitted the manuscript, and the cuttlefish, wind fish, and Longya all contributed, that is to say, you liked this work and gave it a chance to be serialized!" Chu Yu said.

"Really, if you didn't discover me back then, how can there be any Rurouni Kenshin now!"

It is also because of this that Chuyu did not change the editor when he learned of Su's situation. Although it is Su's job to discover comics with potential, for Chuyu, this may be the kindness that the ancients said.

At that time, if he had agreed to Su Yi’s proposal, his work’s situation in Cuttlefish would have been much better in the future, but in Chu Yu’s view, it would be the same as running away instead of helping a good friend after being beaten.

If he is an adult, he may take benefits very seriously, but in fact, he only needs a few hundred dollars a month, and drawing comics is only a choice under the lure of hobbies and the system.

Chu Yu didn't want to get entangled in this issue.

"Sister Su, don't think so much, I don't believe that kid Song Jiayu can cover the sky with one hand, but why don't you give us promotional resources? What's the big deal!"

Although Chu Yu chose Su Yu himself, he has no regrets.

"Each issue of Rurouni Kenshin has hundreds of thousands of audiences, just publishing it on this platform is the best publicity resource."

"Isn't it just that the serialization has not yet accumulated readers? It's okay if the grades are a little short for the time being?"

"Although I haven't seen that kid before, doesn't Song Jiayu just like to engage in these villainous behaviors? Sister Su, you are depressed now, and the idea you just had just fell into the arms of that kid."

Perhaps it was because he regarded Su Yuzhen as a friend. Seeing the rosy corners of her eyes before, Chu Yu was also a little upset. He talked a lot more than before, and the more he talked, the more excited he was. He didn't pay attention to Zhao Qinyin and Su Su The two gradually stared at him.

"Since this is the case, it is even more impossible for us to do what he wants."

"I'm confident that this work will definitely be popular in the future..." Chu Yu said.

"Absolutely... will be popular." Su Yu repeated involuntarily.

"You... why do you have such confidence?"

The quality of the work and the popularity of the work are two different things, just like most people who have never read the Nobel Prize for Literature.

"Because... I drew this work, so I have confidence." Chu Yu said in a deep voice.

He still doesn't believe it, this work, which has a pen and ink in the history of comics in another world, can still be planted in his own hands.

"I want to... reach the top of Manying's popularity poll before the end of this work."

Chu Yu looked at the two of them, and said seriously, he is not self-confident for no reason, unlike the two in front of him, he has read all the contents of Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences, if works of this quality cannot win popularity votes on Manying No.1, Manying would not be just a local journal in a province like Los Angeles.

"Climbing to the top?" Su Zhi asked.

"That's right, climb to the top and take first place."

"Don't Song Jiayu just think he can control everything? I just want Rurouni Kenshin to reach the top of Manying, uh, let him, uh, how do you say that..."

"Slap him in the face." Zhao Qinyin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"That's right, that's right." Chu Yu nodded quickly, but he didn't expect Zhao Qinyin to say such a thing.

summit...

When Su Zhi thought of these two words, his heart was pounding.

Looking at Chu Yu's handsome and confident face, Su Bao somehow felt that he didn't know him as well as he thought.

Before, Su Yu felt that with Chu Yu's potential, he might have a chance to become a top cartoonist in Ming City in the future.

But at this moment, she felt that for the person in front of her, Los Angeles Province and Ming City might be too small, and Shanghai, or even RB Island, might be the place he really should go.

"That's it!" Su Zhi smiled, his pretty face caught everyone's attention for a moment.

"Since you, the author, have said so... then this work will aim to reach the top of Manga!"

Chapter 29 Fermentation

As one of the three major comic journals in Los Angeles, Manying has a sales volume of more than 30 per issue. If a comic can be said to rank first in the readers' popularity votes on the three major journals, basically the author of this work can do it in the comic circle of Los Angeles. Known as a well-known cartoonist.

If he goes one step further and regularly tops the popularity votes in such journals, then his author will already be at the top of the Los Angeles comics industry.

Dong Yun, who transferred to Squid from Fengyu Comics Club, is a cartoonist of this level. In Los Angeles, she is already a top-notch cartoonist. If she wants to make her influence go further, she can only look at the magic city. Or RB Island.

Dong Yun is a very ambitious woman. It has been seven years since she started drawing comics, and she has successfully achieved her current status in the Los Angeles comics industry. From the perspective of outsiders, her career as a cartoonist is smooth sailing. At the age of 26, he became famous in the Los Angeles comic circle and stood at the top.

But only she knew in her heart that if her current achievements were considered top-notch in Los Angeles Province, they were nothing at all when looking at Long Country.

So when she learned that her work had lost to a newcomer's work at the Squid Comic Club's serialization meeting, her first reaction was not that she found it ridiculous and incomprehensible.

On the contrary, at that time, she felt heavy in her heart. Unlike Song Jiayu, who was somewhat arrogant, Dong Yun knew very well what kind of existence the so-called newcomer was.

After all, back then, she also relied on newcomers to make her debut, stepping on a group of old seniors to reach the top of Tianyin comics.

Now she is very familiar with the two popular works of Moyu Comics Club, Demon Realm and Tianshu. After the publication of the first chapter of her new work, The Secret Girl, the popularity has surpassed Tianshu, ranking second. As for Demon Realm, she is confident that she can In January, the popularity vote surpassed that of Demon Realm, and it has been on the top for a long time.

In that case, after the end of The Secret Girl, she won the first place in two top journals in Los Angeles, which will be of great benefit to her future development in Shanghai. With such achievements and Song Jiayu's promise With help, she is confident that she can gain a firm foothold in Shanghai.
