I just want to draw cartoons quietly

Since then, although there have been as many as [-] serial comics on Manying, in fact, the results of most of the works can only be said to be tepid. In fact, the entire Cuttlefish Comic Club is watching Manying. of four comics.

The Demon Realm of Shen Xin, the veteran author of Cuttlefish Comics Club, and the Tianshu of Wang He.

The secret girl of Dong Yun, the top cartoonist of Fengyu, who jumped to cuttlefish.

And that newcomer manga artist, Shui Xin, who has never appeared in front of the eyes of everyone, and only his editor Su Zhi is in charge of contacting him.

In the entire Los Angeles manga circle, Shui Xin and his work Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences are becoming more and more famous, and in the third chapter of Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences, a new chapter of Lost Cat is opened.

After the amazing encounter between the two in the second episode, the scene in the third episode changed, and the woman who met Kenshin in the rain fainted, and was taken by Kenshin to the place where he lived.

Kenshin also learned the woman's name.

Snow Daiba!

The following plot seems to be a bit dull, just some daily life and memories of the characters Gui, Kenshin, and Xuedaiba in the comics, compared with the fighting scene between Kenshin and the enemy in the rainy night in the previous chapter and the meeting with Xuedaiba at the end Undoubtedly, the level of excitement has dropped a lot.

This makes many readers who have been looking forward to it for a whole week seem to be a little disappointed. They wrote letters and commented on the website to ask the author to work harder and draw more fighting scenes.

But despite this, the number of votes for the third episode still rose sharply, from more than 9000 votes in the previous issue to more than [-] votes in this issue.

This surprised some people in Squid who thought that the second chapter of this work was just a flash in the pan.

Now, basically most people in the entire Los Angeles cartoon industry already understand it.

Rurouni Kenshin: Memories of Rurouni Kenshin is really a dark horse.

It entered the comics market in Los Angeles with lightning speed in this cold winter, and with only three serializations, it became the top comic in the three major comic journals in Los Angeles.

Moreover, although it is only temporarily ranked fourth in the number of votes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the popularity of this work is showing an upward trend. At least, the current ranking has dropped to No.3. The crane already feels the coolness of the chrysanthemum...

......

Chapter 36 State of affairs

Wang He, 30 years old, has been a signed cartoonist of Squid since his debut at the age of 19. Step by step, he has serialized some short comics in second- and third-line comic journals under Squid to now on Manying, a top magazine under Squid. With Tianshu, this work has firmly occupied the second place in the popularity vote for two years.

As a cartoonist, he can be regarded as the result of years of persistence, success and fame, and with the income from comics, he has lived the affluent life he wanted. Although the status of No.1 Demon Realm in Manying is unshakable, but He is already satisfied.

However, this situation changed after the serialization of two new works started three weeks ago.

Although he was shocked that Dong Yun's new work The Secret Girl squeezed him to third place in the first episode, but in comparison, he still has a self-awareness.

Indeed, in the status of cartoonists in Los Angeles, he is indeed inferior to Dong Yun. According to last year's media statistics, in the popularity ranking of cartoonists in Los Angeles, he barely surpassed tenth, ranking ninth.

As for Dong Yun, she has been in the top three for two years.

Although he was surprised by Dong Yun's new work, he relatively had a premonition that he would be surpassed by Dong Yun's new work.

But he never imagined that two weeks ago, Dong Yun's new work exploded the chrysanthemum, and the ranking dropped to third place. The new work serialized with the secret girl Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences also has the potential to shock Staring at him.

He must not be able to bear this anymore. Anyway, he is also the old author of Cuttlefish. He can barely accept being surpassed by Dong Yun, who jumped to another job, but he is surpassed by a newcomer's work. After that, he will participate in Los Angeles comics. At home gatherings, those guys will definitely laugh at this matter.

Now in his home, he and his three assistants are working on Tianshu's latest story with a serious face. Stimulated by the memory of the mysterious girl and Rurouni Kenshin, Wang He also speeds up the plot in the latest story, bringing the protagonists together. The combat action has been redesigned, which looks much more handsome than the original picture concept. Of course, such a scene is also much more difficult to draw.

He completed such key shots by himself, drawing steadily with the brush in his hand, and his eyes were extremely serious, just like him who just stepped into this industry 11 years ago.

He doesn't resent the threat that Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Arc posed to him.As for the comics industry, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, but no matter what, he is one of the top cartoonists in Los Angeles. If he really encounters the challenge of a new work, he will not give up so easily.

......

The entire Squid Comic Club, compared to the shock that Dong Yun's new work ranked second in popularity for three consecutive episodes, they were even more touched by the new cartoonist Shui Xin's new work, which even surpassed Wang He's Tianshu.

Such a thing has never happened in the history of Los Angeles comics.

Even many people's eyes are not only looking at the present, if... the popularity of Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscence surpasses Tianshu, then who will be its opponent next?

Going up, there are only two works!

Although temporarily ranked second, the number of popularity votes is constantly narrowing the gap with No.1. The secret girl.

And occupying the No. [-] popularity of Manying for three full years, Cuttlefish Comic's card comic... Demon Realm.

Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences, this work, is it possible to create miracles?

......

Soon, the fourth chapter of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories will be released.

That night, the voting statistics from No. 4 to No. [-] were also released.

No.1, still in the Demon Realm, with more than [-] votes.

No.2, The Secret Girl, more than [-] votes.

No.3, Tianshu, more than [-] votes.

No.4, Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, more than [-] votes.

......

The editors of the Cuttlefish Comics Club, who had learned of the voting results, were silent for a while.

On the surface, the ranking in this issue seems to be unchanged from the previous issue.

But in fact, the situation is quite different.

First of all, the number of votes won by the first and second place Demon Realm and Hidden Girl is on the rise, which proves that the No.1 battle between the two on Manying has spread to their respective fan groups.

Although some diehard fans of the two for many years do not like to vote on the Internet after buying comics, they couldn't sit still at this time and voted for their favorite works one after another.

As for Tianshu, it fell from the mark of more than [-] votes, and the memory of Rurouni Kenshin once again achieved a surge in popularity.

In the first episode, more than 4000 votes were cast, in the second episode, more than 4000 votes were cast, and in the third episode, more than [-] votes were cast.

Up to the fourth chapter now, it has already broken through the [-]-vote barrier, reaching more than [-] votes.

Nowadays, the top four most popular comics on the whole Manying show a strange situation.

The Hidden Girl is eyeing the No. [-] throne in the Demon Realm, and Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences follows this trend. If the next issue still has such an increase, it should be able to squeeze Tianshu from the third position.

Not to mention the cuttlefish comics club, the entire Los Angeles comics community was also dumbfounded by the competition between these four works on Manying.

As these four works compete with each other, Manying has also achieved a surge in sales because the two new works of Hidden Girl and Rurouni Kenshin Reminisces have been added to Manying.

From about 35 sales per week in the past, it has increased by [-] now.

In one fell swoop, it has become the highest-selling periodical among the comic periodicals issued in Los Angeles.

......

In a certain tavern, Wang He, the author of Tianshu, was sitting with another man, drinking wine.

"It's over, brother, I feel like I can't stand it anymore! In the next issue, I should be overtaken by that newcomer's work." Wang He's slightly chubby face was full of ruddy, and his tone was helpless besides helplessness.

"Shen Xin, you have to hold on, how can we, a cartoonist who grew up in Squid, let Dong Yun easily reach the top after jumping over like this, that, that would be too embarrassing..."

Shen Xin is the author of the super popular work Demon Realm on Manying. He looks a little younger than Wang He, and he looks more refined.

"I feel like I'm almost there, and within a few weeks, I should be the number one pick." Wang Xin laughed at himself.

Both of them understand, what is the concept of a new work that can have such popularity in the early stage of serialization?

The reason why Shen Xin's Demon Realm can still stay in the first place is entirely because this work has been serialized for a long time, and the reader base is large enough, but with the increase in the number of serialized stories of the secret girl, it will be sooner or later that the Demon Realm will be surpassed thing.

"Oh!" Wang He sighed.

"Our old cartoonists in Moying are all looking at you and me!"

"After all, we used to be in a state of competition with Dong Yun. She used to be number one in Fengyu. Now if she comes over, we are also number one in Cuttlefish. Doesn't it prove that we are not good enough as a cartoonist of Cuttlefish..."

"First?" Shen Xin shook his head.

"I don't think so."

"I feel that it will take at least a few weeks for the secret girl to squeeze me down. By then, I can't tell what the situation will be like!"

"You mean?" Wang He also realized what Shen Xin meant.

"The Memory of Rurouni Kenshin..."

Chapter 37 Small talk

"That's right, it's that work." Shen Xin nodded.

"Although Dong Yun's new work is great, it has achieved such results after only a few episodes. To be honest, I think it is not as good as it is. Even if I open a new work in the future, I don't think it can achieve the same effect."

"But compared to the amazingness of Dong Yun's new work..."

"The Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscence Arc is the real monster!"

"After all, Dong Yun is like you and me. She has been famous for many years and has a large reader base..."

"But what about the newcomer named Shui Xin?" Shen Xin's eyes were full of seriousness at the moment.

"Before, there was only one short comic that was serialized on Moying. It can be said that the reader base of any cartoonist on Moying can be said to far exceed his..."

"But actually? How long has it been since this work became so popular..."

"I don't think this work will stop its rise after surpassing your Tianshu."

"Or let me put it this way....... If the plot of this work is not exciting, compared to it, Manying has restricted it......"

"Your evaluation is too much!" Wang He looked at Shen Xin with disapproval.

"Anyway, Shui Xin is just a newcomer..."

"Newcomer?" Shen Xin smiled.

"Old Wang, don't limit your vision to Luo Province."

"Indeed, in the past history of the Los Angeles comics industry, there has never been a situation where a newcomer's work has reached the top of the three top journals."

"But in the history of the Dragon Country comics, there have been people who have done crazier things than this."

"For example, those young cartoonists who are active in Shanghai..."

"Tang Xin, Ye Chun, Nangong Yue, etc., if their works are not published in those comic agencies in Shanghai, but come to a comic agency like Squid, I think...with the strength of their works, We can reach the top soon!"

"Sometimes, I really have to be convinced. You and I are considered talented people in this industry, otherwise we wouldn't be here today, but compared to those real comic geniuses, we are really far behind. too much."

"No, my brother, comparing Shui Xin with people like Tang Xin and Ye Chun, do you think you think him too highly..." Wang He asked.

"Look high?" Shen Xin shook his head.

"You must read the works of those people on weekdays!"

Wang He nodded. After all, his works can be serialized in the top periodicals of the seven major comic clubs in Shanghai, so he can't figure it out.

"Leaving aside the achievements they have made, what do you think..." Shen Xin looked at Wang He.

"The first four episodes of Shui Xin's work Rurouni Kenshin Reminisces, compared to the first few episodes of those works when they first debuted, whose work do you think is more attractive..."

Hearing this, Wang He fell into deep thought.

He made a comparison in his heart.....

Gradually, his eyes changed.

"I think, judging from the plot, content, and depth of the previous episodes, Rurouni Kenshin's Memories seems to be better..." Wang He said hesitantly.

"I think the same way." Shen Xin took a sip of his wine.

"Personally, I even think that Shui Xin's work may have even greater potential."

"It's just limited to the Manying platform, and can only achieve the influence it has today."

"If Shuixin has Tang Xin, Ye Chun and the others are so lucky, and meeting Bole allows them to make their debut as newcomers in the Seventh University of Shanghai. In the Seventh Great Demon City, you can also occupy a place!"

Wang He's mouth moved, but he couldn't say anything. His sensibility made him want to refute, but his rationality told him that what Shen Xin said... seemed to make sense.

"It seems a bit far-fetched." Shen Xin smiled, "Even if I put aside my previous judgments, compared to Dong Yun's top Manying, I hope that the person who surpasses me is Shui Xin."

"Although he is a newcomer, he can be regarded as a cartoonist who was discovered on Cuttlefish. If you are afraid that Dong Yun will lose face in front of Fengyu and other cartoonists after reaching the top, you might as well support Shui Xin!"

......

"It's really hard to be a cartoonist!" Chu Yu threw himself on the table after finishing work tonight.

"My head is so dizzy, my hands are so sore... I really want to be a salted fish that does nothing and have fun every day!"

Spending extracurricular time on drawing comics for a month in a row, during this time, even going shopping is a luxury for Chu Yu.

The novelty of drawing manga at first fades away, and now there are just week after week deadlines and manga that is actually too much trouble to draw.
