I just want to draw cartoons quietly

In the past two days in the circle, the words he heard the most were Shui Xin, Rurouni Kenshin... and when he heard these words, he would think of that woman Su Yu.

Even when he walked into the comic club, he could see a few employees secretly looking at him and laughing.

He could guess what those people were laughing at.

The whole manga club knew that he, Song Jiayu, was unsuccessful in his pursuit of Su Ji, and because of love and hatred, he suppressed Su Ji, trying to force him to give in.

But what about the result?He spent so much effort for several months, but he failed to suppress Su Yu in the comic book club. On the contrary, Su Yu discovered a monster newcomer like Shui Xin himself. All this made his previous actions look like a joke. .

More importantly, he felt a strong threat from Rurouni Kenshin.

A newcomer, without any popularity blessings, can get the fourth place on Manying only by relying on the serialization of two episodes of comics, and get more than 1 votes.

In Song Jiayu's view, it's only a matter of time before Dong Yun's Hidden Girl surpasses Mojing and Tianshu in terms of popularity and support.

But what about Rurouni Kenshin: Memories of Rurouni?

It's really scary. The first issue of the series only received more than 4000 votes, and the second issue had more than 4000 votes. What about the third and fourth issues?

Will it come from behind?

If someone told Cuttlefish's staff before that a newcomer cartoonist had reached the top of Manying, it would have been ridiculed.

But now, thinking of this possibility, not only did Song Jiayu not have the urge to laugh, but instead felt an invisible pressure.

After all, he, a man from Modu, came to Los Angeles, and Cuttlefish didn't come here for fun. His main purpose of coming here was to add some highlights to his resume.

For example, after returning to Shanghai in the future, he will join the comic agency that his father devoted his whole life to act as an editor. It is written in his resume that he once served as the deputy editor-in-chief of Cuttlefish, a top comic company in Los Angeles, and was responsible for the top comics in Los Angeles. The editor of the most popular work on the periodical Manying, that is undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.

But if the number one on the resume becomes the second, or the third...

Then there is no point.

People will only remember the first, no one will remember the second, the third....

In that case, his coming to Los Angeles would be in vain, and his father would also be disappointed in him.

Although his father has a high status in that comic book agency, his father doesn't mean that he can cover the sky with one hand. There are also many competitors and opponents, and everything must be done according to the rules. He wants to inherit his father's position there. The status, contacts, and relationships of the comic book club, and taking his father's place after his father retired, he couldn't lose at the beginning. If he didn't get any good results in a place like Cuttlefish, how could others believe it when he went back to Shanghai? His abilities?

No, it can't be.

Song Jiayu raised his head.

At this time, he and Su Yu were no longer fighting with each other as before.

It's a conflict of interests.

......

"Hey, have you watched the new episode of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories of Manying serialized last week?"

"Of course I saw it! Md, Jian Xin is so handsome, that movement, that sword skill."

"Who is talking about that with you? I mean the woman who appeared last, my new goddess is scheduled."

"Isn't your goddess Xiaoyun sauce? Why, you changed after that work ended? You are really changeable..."

......

"Shui Xin can really tantalize people. The second episode ends here. What is the name of the girl who appeared last? What is her identity? I don't want to reveal anything about how the next development will be. It's really tantalizing."

"Whether you can whet your appetite means that the author's painting is good, otherwise, it's not whet your appetite. If the work is not good-looking, impatient audiences will just abandon the manga, instead of chasing the manga because of their appetite."

......

"I really want my future boyfriend to be as cool as Kenshin.

"Don't think about it, why do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ha ha......"

"But is this work really drawn by the author who drew Yan Ye Zhiting? It feels so different! Before I drew love comics, what is this painting now? War, strategy, blood, love, what elements seem to be It’s all a little bit! But, it’s really beautiful!”

.......

Like Su Shi, Chu Yu felt something different today.

Inexplicably, the characters discussed by some anime idiots in the class have changed from other previous manga works Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences, and even the magic world and Tianshu in the same periodical, as well as the hidden girl, are not discussed as much as this work high.

They also wondered why Chu Yu didn't join the discussion together. After all, Chu Yu was very interested in discussions on similar topics.

In the past, the students around me who loved to read comics always gathered together after class to discuss the plots of the current hot comics, but one day, when they were discussing the work of Rurouni Kenshin, Chu Yu really realized that Rurouni Kenshin seems to be really on fire.

It only took one week, one word.

Through the platform of Manying, this work quickly spread in Los Angeles, the speed is astounding.

Fans gathered spontaneously, and Shuixin's previous work, The Garden of Words, was also known to many fans. Mokage periodicals that published the Garden of Words, were even sold to Rurouni Kenshin's Memories of Rurouni Kenshin on the Internet at two or three times the price. fans.

In the Chuyu system space, the world points are also increasing all the time, it has exceeded 20, and the deposits in the bank account are also steadily increasing!

......

At night, at Chu Yu's home.

Chu Yu was a little dazed when he saw the box of letters in front of him.

"It was all sent to me?"

"That's right." Su Yu said.

"Then what should I do?" Chu Yu looked at the pile of letters.

"If you want to read it, you can read it. If you have time, you can also reply to the letter. If you don't want to read it, you can save it, or find a way to dispose of it yourself."

"There may be many such things in the future..." Su Yu said.

"By the way, I came today to talk to you about something." Su Yu looked at Chu Yu.

"Things, what's the matter?" Chu Yu was a little puzzled.

"This is a supplementary agreement. After signing, your manuscript fee will change from the current [-] per page of comics to [-] per page of comics." Su Zhi smiled and took out an agreement from his bag.

"This was proposed by the comic club on its own initiative. You don't have to worry about it. After all, the previous price of [-] yuan per page was only the standard for ordinary cartoonists on Manying. After last week's voting results, the comic club naturally also Your corresponding remuneration will be adjusted according to your potential."

"The salary has been raised again." Chu Yu was a little numb. It's only been two weeks, and his salary has been raised twice in a row.

"Also, the Chinese New Year is about two months away. At that time, our comic society will hold an annual meeting before the year. At that time, we will invite all the important companies that have cooperated with our comic club. The management, the chairman, and the comic agency think that there are enough cartoonists to attend this annual meeting." Su Yu finally said what she wanted to say.

"The editor-in-chief told me today that you are also on the invitation list!"

"He asked me to confirm your opinion, are you...willing to go!"

"Annual meeting?" Chu Yu looked at the supplementary agreement in front of him.

He was not interested in such an event, but he would be a little embarrassed if they offered to give him an extra salary first, and then invite him.

"Then... let's go!" Chu Yu said carefully.

"Okay!" Su Mo smiled.

"Also, when the time comes, you can bring someone with you, girlfriend, family members, etc."

"Can you take someone with you?" Chu Yu looked at Zhao Qinyin who had been silent beside him.

Chu Yu understood that the reason why he was invited must be related to the results of Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences. In any case, Zhao Qinyin was responsible for the birth of Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences. Alone, the first thing he thought of was Zhao Qinyin.

"Do you want to go?" Chu Yu asked her.

"Ah! Me?" Zhao Qinyin never thought that Chu Yu would ask her.

She definitely wanted to go, after all, as a street cartoonist, she would definitely wish she could go to such a place and meet many well-known cartoonists.

But thinking of Su Bao's last sentence, she felt a little embarrassed.

It took her a long time to hold back a word.

"go with!"

"Okay, then it's settled!" Su Yu nodded.

.......

Chapter 35 Hot

In the middle of the night, Zhao Qinyin returned home after finishing her work.

Her family lives in an old residential area in the east of the city, about 10-[-] minutes’ drive from Chu Yu’s house. She is very quick at drawing comics with Chu Yu. She usually goes to Chu Yu’s house after school and leaves around ten o’clock in the evening. Last weekend, with the joint efforts of the two of them, the weekly manga was basically completed in both quality and quantity, and it was usually around eleven o'clock when I returned home every night.

Her life may be boring and boring in the eyes of ordinary people. She attends classes during the day, works as a manga assistant at night, and then rests.

However, from Zhao Qinyin's point of view, apart from the few days when she first met Chu Yu, she was a little uncomfortable, but after getting along for a while, she unexpectedly got along very well with Chu Yu.

What's more, the manga that the two of them created together is still serialized in periodicals like Manying. Not long after the serialization, Chu Yu put forward the slogan of wanting to reach the top, and this slogan seems to be not impossible in today's view.

Although she is not the author of Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences, she is already very happy just that the manga she participated in can achieve such results, and most of the frustration of being rejected for submissions of her works in the past has disappeared.

She took out her key and opened the door.

Unlike the dark room in my imagination, my grandma had already fallen asleep during this period of time on weekdays, but today it was a bit abnormal. When Zhao Qinyin entered the room, she found her grandma was listlessly watching TV, There are still family photos of her parents and grandpa when they were still around.

"Grandma, why...why haven't you slept yet?" Zhao Qinyin asked.

"I can't sleep, I'm thinking of your father and grandfather." Zhao Qinyin's grandmother is named Wu Zhen. She is over 70 years old. She is a little short with a bent back.

"Hey, why do you say that your father has such a thing? If he didn't want to draw some crazy comics, he would not submit the manuscript to Shanghai, and no one would call him to go to Shanghai. He and Your mother won't have an accident on the road, and your grandpa won't be too angry, nor..."

"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about that, it's been a few years."

"By the way, how are you doing with your lessons today?"

"It's...not bad, everything is going well." Zhao Qinyin tilted her head slightly.

"You are already a third year in high school!" Wu Zhen exclaimed.

"The kind of thing that serves as a supplementary teacher for poor students in other schools, or don't do it. You are now in the critical period of the third year of high school. How can you have time to take care of other people?"

"Although our family is not a rich family, we are not short of the money to make up tuition for others. It is serious business for you to get a good university entrance examination. If you come back so late every day, you probably won't get enough sleep!"

"No, it doesn't matter, grandma, giving....it's a kind of review to make up lessons for others. It's better than reading books by yourself. You see, although I have been doing this part-time job for so long, I His grades have not fallen, and the school exams....never dropped to No.2!"

"Remedial lessons are helpful for learning? Really?" Wu Zhen asked with some doubts.

"Let me tell you, you have to grasp your grades, but you can't learn from your father. He, because his grades were poor at the beginning, and he became obsessed with comics in high school, so he went to find a teacher to learn from that stuff after he graduated from high school." For many years."

"After finishing my studies, I drew those things at home without any income for three years. Finally, a comic agency was willing to publish his works. After I got the income, I met your mother. Speaking of which, your mother was also raped by your father. Please come to our house to be his manga assistant, the two of you have been together for a long time and have a relationship foundation, which is why you are here......"

"Your parents have spent half their lives on comics, and your father said that he will go to Shanghai or even RB to become a cartoonist."

"That's good, the devil didn't go, and the people disappeared on the road..." Wu Zhen's tone became agitated at this point.

"Speaking of which, if your father hadn't come into contact with those comics when he was in school, he would have studied hard. Then he wouldn't have dropped out of high school, and he should still be there now."

"Fortunately, you are different from your father. You are much smarter than him and have good grades. Grandma, I want to see you get into a good university, choose a good major, and marry a good family. Grandma and I , can be regarded as being right to your father, your mother, and your grandfather."

Zhao Qinyin had heard Wu Zhen say these words many times.

She also knew very well how much Wu Zhen hated the comics industry, and she had always believed that her father's death was related to his choosing the wrong industry.

When his father was still alive, he blamed his father's unsatisfactory life on the comics, and after his death, he believed that the misfortune was caused by choosing the wrong career.

It's hard to convince people who have got into a dead end. Over the years, Zhao Qinyin has not been able to make Wu Zhen let go of her prejudice against comics.

Therefore, for a long time, no matter whether it is comic creation or as an assistant to other cartoonists, Zhao Qinyin has always kept it from Wu Zhen. The income is not bad, so Wu Zhen agreed to her "remedial lessons" career.

But how long can you lie in such a situation?

forever?

Zhao Qinyin also felt confused...

The two chatted for a while, it was late, and they both fell asleep one after another.

Back in the room, Zhao Qinyin looked at the snowflakes falling outside the glass window.

Thinking of her deception to grandma all along, a sigh sounded.

After all, she is still her father's daughter. The father and daughter may have different personalities, but they are surprisingly similar in terms of interests and hobbies.

......

In Los Angeles in December, the temperature dropped sharply, and the snow in the sky has basically never stopped since it started to fall.

But what is different from this cold weather is the response of Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter in the Los Angeles manga market.

Since the first episode was only ranked eleventh in the voting on Manying, the second episode jumped to fourth place, and the number of votes for it was as high as [-].
