I just want to draw cartoons quietly

......

a few days passed quickly

In Ming City in January, the wind was bitterly cold, and the snow could already reach the ankles.

On Friday, the second week of this month, the comic market in Los Angeles, or the sales of the periodical Manying, seemed extremely hot.

Even in such heavy snow weather, there are still a group of fans who go to major bookstores, newspapers and periodicals to queue up to buy Manying.

Many bookstore owners were surprised to find that, based on past purchase volume and experience, Manying, which they might not have sold out until evening, was actually sold out at noon this week.

"Hurry up and call the dealer and say we need to restock!"

Almost all the bosses of the major newspapers and bookstores in Ming City made such a decision during this period.

"I'm sorry, Manying is sold out. It may not be available until afternoon or tomorrow. You can buy other periodicals of the same type. Huolong and Tianyin are actually very good..."

Gu Yu, the owner of a medium-sized bookstore in the east of the city, looked at the customer in front of him who came to inquire about Manying Journal, and replied with a smile again.

But although he had a smile on his face, he was very uncomfortable inside.

After all, he understood that even though he told these people that they would replenish in the afternoon, as long as they walked out of this bookstore, most of them would not be able to wait for the afternoon or tomorrow.

"Oh, it's the third one, and it's still out of stock..." The student in front of Gu Yu was about to leave with a disappointed expression on his face.

"Um...by the way, I want to ask..." Gu Yu stopped the student.

"Did Manying do any activities for this periodical? Why have more and more people bought this periodical in the past few weeks?"

"Activity?" The student shook his head.

"There's no such thing. I bought this journal mainly because I wanted to read the above work called Rurouni Kenshin's Memories... As for the situations you mentioned, I don't quite understand."

The students left after speaking.

(I wrote this while watching ig and playing fpx. It seems a bit messy. I will check it myself. There is still a chapter to be written tonight, but it may be very late, or the author can’t bear the sleepiness and wakes up in the morning. Not sure, everyone can go to bed early!)

Chapter 46 plan

In the following time, Gu Yu would ask similar questions to anyone who came to inquire about Manying's journal.

"really......"

After asking more than [-] people, Gu Yu also discovered that the reason why these people bought Manying's journal was that, except for some who were loyal readers of Manying, nearly half of them were for the purpose of the Roker Sword. This work went to the heart reminiscence chapter.

Many people even bought this entire comic book just to watch this work.

In connection with the increase in the number of purchasers of Manying during this period and the serialization time of this work, Gu Yu had a vague idea in his mind.

In his plan to purchase books next week, he doubled the expected purchase quantity of Manying in the past.

Gu Yu is just the owner of a bookstore in Los Angeles, and what happened in his bookstore has happened in all major bookstores and bookstores in Los Angeles.

All the bookstores invariably increased the purchase volume of Manying's periodical, and the result was a huge increase in Manying's sales.

Previously, due to the serialization of the four works of Tianshu, Demon Realm, Hidden Girl, and Rurouni Kenshin Memories, the sales volume of Manying has increased from more than 30 to more than 40 per week.

Now at the end of the year, the number of orders received by the comic agency has exceeded 50.

For a moment, the Cuttlefish Comic Club attracted the attention of the entire Los Angeles comic circle.

Generally speaking, the sales volume of manga periodicals is very stable. If there are fluctuations in sales, it must be because the periodicals have serialized excellent works and ended popular works.

Similar situations have occurred in Manying in the past, but basically the sales volume fluctuated by only tens of thousands, which is far from the current increase of 10,000+ sales.

During this period of time, there were only two new serial works on Manying.

One is the secret girl, and the other is the memory of Rurouni Kenshin.

Although Dong Yun's job-hopping will bring Cuttlefish sales growth is expected, but the sales growth of 10,000+, she does not have such a big appeal.

Then all that's left is...

Practitioners in the comics industry in Los Angeles turned their attention to the work Rurouni Kenshin Reminisces.

From the fourth episode, this work has already shown its momentum. From the first episode of the popularity vote to the top eleven, this work only took seven weeks.

In the past, there have been many works that have been cut in half on Manying in the seventh and eighth chapters, but there is not a single work that can reach the top of Manying in this number of episodes.

What's more, this work has also driven a wave of growth in comic film sales.

Everyone basically has the same judgment on the increase in the sales volume of Manying in this wave.

A small part was brought by Dong Yun's job-hopping, and most of it was brought by the author of the biggest dark horse rookie in Los Angeles this year, Shui Xin's Rurouni Jianxin Reminisces.

For a while, many people lamented Dong Yun's bad luck. When she was in Fengyu in the past, how could she have such an encounter? When her work was serialized, she was rejected by this work at a meeting, and when she was about to reach the top, she was preempted by this work. Ding, now, judging from this momentum, the qualification for the Dragon Star Award is also far away from Dong Yun...

......

Soon, the results of Manying's latest popularity poll came out.

The result is similar to what everyone expected. Although Manying's sales continue to increase, in terms of popularity votes, there is basically no increase in the number of popularity votes, whether it is Demon Realm or Hidden Girl.

On the contrary, Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences, which had reached the top of Manying in the last issue, not only maintained its No.1 ranking in this week's popularity vote, but also increased the number of votes in support by almost [-] votes, once again setting a new record for cuttlefish.

However, for the results of the eighth chapter of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, although Chu Yu maintained the first pick, Chu Yu did not have the excitement of last week.

Because he understands that the performance of this work will only get better and better, because its plot will become more and more exciting as it goes on, and there is no reason that there will be room for decline in the number of votes.

Of course, Su Bao and Zhao Qinyin were excited as usual for a long time before they calmed down.

After all, judging from this momentum, the qualifications for the Dragon Star Award are already guaranteed.

As long as the Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences can get the first pick once in the next two weeks, then this qualification is definitely for the Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences.

But Chu Yu's current popularity votes are almost 2 votes ahead of the No.[-] secret girl.

They couldn't think of the possibility that the hidden girl and the demon realm could come from behind.

"By the way, Chu Yu, Zhao Qinyin..."

"Do you still remember what I told you a few weeks ago?" Su Zhi calmed down

"What's the matter?" Chu Yu asked.

"Annual party!"

"Annual party!"

Su Zhe was speechless.

"My memory is too bad!"

"It just so happens that your school is also on holiday, so you can make preparations this week."

"Next Saturday is the day when our comic club held its annual meeting years ago..."

"I've already submitted the list of participants for the two of you. You know, although Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences has already reached the top of Manga, the entire cuttlefish...has seen Chu Yu before. You have only me!"

"A group of editors in the comic club have long been curious about you, the talented newcomer cartoonist Shui Xin, and many people wanted me to give them your photo, but I didn't." Su Yu said with a smile.

"Just in time, the two of you can show up at the annual meeting, and I don't know what kind of expressions those people will have when they know that Rurouni Kenshin's Memories is actually completed by two high school students... ..."

What expression can I have?I'm not a big star.

Chu Yu pouted.

"Oh, by the way, I have one thing to tell you. The annual meeting of our comic club is relatively formal. During the annual meeting, men's suits and women's dresses are for sure. Don't wear school uniforms when the time comes, then it will be real. The zoo monkey that was visited and commented on."

"Suits?" Chu Yu asked.

"I do not have it!"

"No..." Su Yu looked at Chu Yu.

"If you don't have one, then you can only buy it! You already have a monthly income of tens of thousands, and the money to buy a suit is not trivial to you?"

"That's fine!" Chu Yu thought for a while.

"Are you okay?" Su Yu asked.

"No problem..." Chu Yu said.

Su Zhe looked at Chu Yu's face, and sighed after a while.

"Forget it, when you have time, I'll go shopping with you! It will save you from being fooled into buying some fancy clothes by the clerk, and it's not good to wear them too exaggerated..."

Am I that unbearable in your eyes?

Chu Yu complained in his heart, but he did not reject Su Bao's proposal.

"How about Zhao Qinyin? Do you have a dress?"

"No." Zhao Qinyin hesitated and said.

"That's just right, let's go together when the time comes, no matter what, they are the writers and manga assistants who have already reached the top in Manying, if there is a joke, it will be true..."

"understand!"

"understood!"

Zhao Qinyin and Chu Yu said together.

"Okay, since that's the case, you can work, and I won't affect you anymore!" Su Yu nodded.

Chapter 47 Fans from other provinces

At the same time when Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences reached the top for the second time in Manying.

Xinmanwang's manga recommendation channel, which has occupied the top of the click-to-reply list for more than a month. The post about the pirated post of Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter also quickly updated the plot of the eighth chapter of Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter .

A group of online comic fans who couldn't wait for a long time clicked into this post one after another.

In any case, Xinman.com is also a well-known two-dimensional website in Longguo. Although the comic recommendation section is just a trivial small channel, there are not many people who like to visit this section on weekdays.

But a post hangs on the homepage every day like this, and over time, it attracts a huge amount of traffic.

"So this is ah......."

"I just said that I felt something was wrong when Master Shuixin drew Yukidaiba with a knife all the time in the previous few chapters. After reading this, it turns out that Yukidaiba approached Kenshin for a purpose. He brought a knife to kill him. It's Kenshin's!"

"Isn't this a picture? Xue Daiba put the small knife she always carried on her body at home, which also shows that she gave up the idea of ​​assassinating Kenshin! And Kenshin has always known that she has a weapon on her body Right! In this case, I think that even if she wants to assassinate Kenshin, the possibility is almost zero..."

"No, then how will this plot go next? Kenshin and Yukiyoba let go of their suspicions, and the two lived a happy and happy life shamelessly? Or did Yudaiba finally attack Kenshin, the protagonist Kenshin. ... pawn, as an ending?"

"I don't know! Who knows what kind of brainstorm Teacher Shuixin is, anyway, I am a fan of this manga Yukidaiba, and she is my new goddess."

"I think the ending of the two of them really being together and having a few children is in line with my taste."

"Isn't that kind of clichéd?"

........

After reading the latest post updated by the host, a group of people did not leave under the post, discussing the plot with great interest.

But at some point, when they refresh this thread.

Soon, the three numbers 404 appeared in front of them.

"......"

"......"

"......"

.......

Re-entering the manga recommendation section, at a glance, the newly posted posts are all a bunch of discussion posts about asking about the serial posts of Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter.

"Crying, sure enough, this work failed to escape 404 Dafa."

"Forget it, this is also expected by everyone. After all, this work is so popular, it is only natural for the manga club that serialized the work to report it..."

"Then what should I do now? I finally found a work that suits my appetite recently. Now that the serial post has been blocked, where can I read it? We don't sell manga periodicals in Los Angeles, and the comic club doesn't open online sales." channel......."

"Forget it, let's return to the online sales channel. Our comic company used to sell comic periodicals to people from other provinces on the online platform. The sales volume was less than [-] in a month. After a month, we stopped. The provinces of the Dragon Kingdom have too much awareness of cultural protection. Except for companies like the Seventh Magic Capital who have forcibly opened up sales channels across the country with huge financial resources, manpower, and top-quality works, other small and medium-sized comic companies have successfully sold across regions. It’s almost unheard of, and once it’s done, colleagues from the two provinces will fight, and in the end, basically both sides will suffer.”

"Some time ago, there was a man who said that he opened a store on Tianmao, called Mingshi Old Wang, who said he could get the periodical Manying? Didn't he say that he was willing to buy from Mingshi and sell it to other provinces? Are you a fan of shipping? The comic book club doesn’t like the sales on the Internet and doesn’t want to do it, but Comrade Wang doesn’t seem to bother you…”

Old King of Ming City......

Many fans who saw this comment looked thoughtful.
