I just want to draw cartoons quietly

After watching it for a long time, Chu Yu figured out who she and the man next to her were.

It was Song Jiayu, whom Su Yu had always been hostile to, and his cartoonist, Dong Yun, the second most popular author of the secret girl in Squid.

Throughout the night, the place where the two of them were was the most crowded and lively, and Chu Yu didn't know if he knew them or not.

"Although the two of us have been competing since the serialization of the new work, it is finally the first time we have met, and I would like to offer you a toast!" Dong Yun raised her wine glass and said with a smile.

When Chu Yu saw this, although she didn't want to drink anymore, she paid her back.

Seeing this, Song Jiayu also raised a glass of wine.

Although Chu Yu didn't want to pay much attention to this enemy of Su Shi and those who suppressed his works, but finally someone came to toast, if he really ignored it, he would be very rude.

"Teacher Shui Xin, it's the first time we meet, let me introduce myself."

"I know you, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Song..." Chu Yu stopped Song Jiayu's next words.

"After all, for one night, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Song is a big hit at the annual meeting. I don't think it's hard not to know him."

vice......

Song Jiayu took a deep breath. When Pang Feng, the editor-in-chief, was not present, people basically called him by removing the adverb.

Sure enough, young people...

The meeting between the two attracted the attention of many people at the scene.

Song Jiayu fumbled in his pocket and handed Chu Yu a business card.

"Teacher Shui Xin, no matter what, we met because of fate. This is my business card."

After finishing speaking, Song Jiayu and Dong Yun didn't hesitate and walked away first.

Chu Yu looked at the business card in his hand, although it was not easy to make it too obvious in front of so many people, but after sitting down, he secretly kneaded it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

Zhao Qinyin on the side noticed this.

"Why did you throw it away?"

"Why don't you throw it away?" At this time, when Chu Yu made it clear that he couldn't drink anymore, the person toasted didn't come over, but Chu Yu still kept it and didn't pass out.

"I hold grudges very much. Didn't Su Yu say that the publicity resource for Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences? He did it. Although it didn't actually affect the performance of this work, I must have a bad impression of him. It's..."

"I didn't plan to have too much contact with him, why did I keep his business card!"

Chu Yu felt something was wrong while talking.

"Why are you so guilty when you ask this question! Are you afraid that I will jump over to Song Jiayu after contacting him?"

Zhao Qinyin turned her face away.

"No... I didn't think about it that way!"

No wonder.

Chu Yu was speechless.

"You also take me for someone."

"But seriously, what would you do if I did that?"

"Then I won't be your manga assistant!" Zhao Qinyin said seriously even though she knew Chu Yu was joking.

"If both of them betray Sister Su, then she is too pitiful!"

"That's it!"

"Without Song Jiayu, I would still be the number one cuttlefish. Without you as a capable assistant, I would have a headache." Chu Yu smiled.

"Relax!"

At this time, the performance of the band on stage ended, and Su Yu and Zhou Tong came on stage again. After some words, the two also officially announced the end of the Squid Annual Meeting.

(Anyway, everyone thinks that Song Jiayu is so mentally retarded, so I will gradually downplay his existence, but it is impossible to let him disappear directly. After all, the reason why I wrote this character is to let him force the protagonist to leave the cuttlefish, and then go to the magic city to develop , at least the role of this tool man will be reflected later, so there will be his plot in the future, but try to reduce the space! From the beginning, I wanted to write a small white villain, the kind that is crazy, cool and bombarding the sky , I didn’t expect to write it like a fool, I’m not strong enough, I’m ashamed! The protagonist has gone to draw comics honestly, no more showy routines!)

Chapter 57 Rules

The annual meeting was just an episode, and soon, the weekend passed.

This week, there are three major events for Chu Yu.

First, this Sunday is Chinese New Year.

Second, also this week, Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences is also confirmed to be submitted for the Dragon Star Award.

Thirdly, the tenth chapter of Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter, which is the story of Mount Shari, will be published soon.

Starting next week, the serialization of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories on Manying has also officially entered its conclusion.

This work will be finished in a little more than a month.

In any case, it is only a short and medium comic that has been serialized for fifteen issues on Manying.

And Su Zhe, also after noon on Monday, came to Chu Yu's house with Su Zhe.

"Chu Yu, are you happy! Your entry form for the Dragon Star Award has been emailed to the organizing committee, and it will probably be reviewed and approved tomorrow." Su Zhi smiled.

"In other words, although I have already obtained the qualification for this competition, how exactly...how is this award selected?" Chu Yu asked.

"Did you say you wanted to win the Dragon Star Award at the annual meeting without even knowing this?"

Su Yu was speechless.

"I... don't know very well." Zhao Qinyin on the side also looked at Su Bao curiously.

After all, this award was too far away from them before the serialization of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, and neither of them knew much about it.

"Okay then! In this case, I will introduce the selection rules of this award to you two." Su Yu is also free now, but he is also patient.

"You also know that there are more than 40 provinces in the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Basically, the top comic companies in each province will get one or several entries. The exact number depends on the strength of the comic agency. For example, our cuttlefish, and the other two comic agencies in Los Angeles, Fengyu and Longya It's a quota."

"Anyway, there are nearly 130 four entries every year!"

"The selection rules for this award are also very simple."

"It's divided into two rounds!"

"In the first round, these more than 100 works will be available for fans from all provinces across the country to watch on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards after each year."

"Of course, this is not the pirated version of Xinmanwang. Although it is temporarily published on the website, there must be a fee."

"Basically, this period of online publication will be within one month of the year after the year."

"Whether the work can break through in the first round depends purely on how many fans the work can attract during this period of time!"

"During this month, netizens who register an account on the official website can read the first three episodes of all entries for free on this website. After that, if someone thinks a certain work is good and pays to watch it, then this work According to the rules, it is regarded as an automatic vote."

"After one month, the ten works with the most votes will be regarded as breaking through the first round and entering the second round of selection..."

Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin also had doubts when they heard this.

"As long as someone pays to watch it, it counts as one vote, so will there be any comic book club to buy votes?"

"Of course..." Su Yu nodded.

"However, in order to avoid this situation in recent years, the Dragon Star Award Organizing Committee has imposed strict requirements on the registration information of the website account. Not only does it require a real name, but also the bank card information that is bound to pay for watching comics on the website must be the same as The registration information is the same, and there are other restrictions. At least, in the past two years, the cost of cheating has been too high, and it is not worth the loss for the award selection of a comic, and gradually there are no people who swipe tickets."

"Then the ten works entered the second round? Then how should they be selected?" Zhao Qinyin asked.

"Of course, a good work must take into account both the commercial nature and the quality of the work." Su Yu said.

"The works that have passed the first round of selection have at least proved its commerciality, but it is indeed biased to judge the quality of a work only by the support of readers."

"After all, comics with gore, novelty, and marginal elements are easy to make people want to pay to watch. It is very likely that some comics can break into the top ten because they are rich in these elements."

"So in the second round, the judges will not be the audience..."

"In the second round, the judges will be the cartoon clubs that participated in the selection of the Dragon Star Award in the entire Dragon Kingdom."

"For example, in the second round of selection, we Cuttlefish will be able to vote for the ten works that enter the second round and score one point."

"Fengyu, Longya and the others also have the right to do so."

"And the seven major comic clubs in Longguo will also vote on the entries in the second round. Each vote will be counted as ten points."

"In the first round of selection, the work with the most votes will automatically get 2 points in this round, No. 3 will get 4 points, No. [-] will get [-] points, No. [-] will get [-] points, and No. Tenth to tenth..."

While Su Yu was talking, Chu Yu gradually understood.

The final second round of selection is based on the scores automatically obtained by each work after entering the top ten, based on their respective rankings in the first round, plus the votes from the cartoon clubs in the provinces of the Dragon Kingdom, and the votes from the seven major comic clubs in the Magic City. Add up and summarize to determine their respective rankings.

In the fifth week after the year, the comic clubs will end their voting.

And to the sixth week.

The authors of the ten works that passed the first round of selection will go to Shanghai to participate in the on-site results announcement of the Dragon Star Award, and the whole process will be broadcast live on the Internet simultaneously.

Basically the whole process is a voting process.

The whole process lasts six weeks.

In the first round of selection, the payment behavior of netizens counts as one vote, and in the second round of selection, the professional practitioners of each comic agency will select the ten selected works.

It's no wonder this award is so influential.

First of all, as long as you enter the competition, your work can be circulated as a genuine version on national websites for a period of time, which is equivalent to advertising your work in front of fans across the country.

Secondly, as long as the work is selected for the second round, it is equivalent to making an appearance in front of professionals from all comic agencies across the country.

If he can get the ranking in the Dragon Star Awards, then if any cartoonist wants to come to Shanghai to develop in the future, this will be an innate advantage.

After all, just by being able to achieve results in this award, it means that your work is not only commercial, but also recognized by most professionals.

"So that's the case!" Chu Yu nodded.

"More than 100 works! I want to win the support of ordinary people in the first round, get the top ten results, and then win the favor of professionals from various comic agencies in the second round."

"Indeed, it is not easy to reach the top of this award!"

"What? Are you guilty?" Su Yu looked at Chu Yu and said.

"How is it possible?" Chu Yu asked.

"Even so, my goal has not changed, and I am still aiming at number one."

It's not that Chu Yu is so arrogant that he thinks that Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences is invincible.

But Chu Yu really just went to see if he could get the first prize from the system.

As far as system urine is concerned, it is meaningless if it is not the first, and there is definitely no reward.

Chapter 58 new issue comic

In the week before last, the whole Long Kingdom was shrouded in a lively atmosphere. There were all kinds of food stalls everywhere on the street, and children would shoot up their cannons on the street from time to time, shocking passers-by.

Except for some government personnel, students, teachers, and office workers are basically on vacation at this time.

However, for practitioners in the comics industry, it is obvious that there is no such thing as a holiday. Cartoonists have free working hours and free working places. The only thing that can restrict them is the deadline.

But the so-called fish and bear's paw can't have both. Similarly, this is also a profession without long vacations. Unless your work is finished, the publication of comic periodicals will not stop during the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin have been cooperating for so long, and they work handy with each other. In just a few days, the original draft of Chapter No. 12 of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories has been completed.

"How is it? What are the plans for the Chinese New Year?" Although it was already Friday, two days before the Chinese New Year, the cuttlefish still didn't have a holiday, and Su Yu was still struggling at the front line of work.

"It's a holiday tomorrow, what else can I do then? Just drive home!" That's what Su Yu said, but it was obvious that there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Why, don't you want to go home?" Chu Yu asked tentatively.

"No." Su Bao's eyes were a little unnatural, but he was not prepared to reveal anything.

"You can guess it." Chu Yu spoke very directly.

"After all, older leftover girls will definitely be forced to go on a blind date when they go home. After knowing each other for such a long time, how can I not know you."

"Old...leftover girl?" Su Bao's expression changed immediately.

"What do you know, a little brat?"

"My lady is 24 years old. She is exactly the age of a flower. There are so many people chasing me... Besides, you are in puberty. It's hard for a beautiful girl like Zhao Qinyin to hang around in front of you every day." I don't see what you think, kid, really, I even wonder if your sexual orientation is abnormal, are you still worried about me?"

"There are too many people chasing you? What's the point if you look down on them, and you still say that you have been in love a few times, and you don't panic. Why should I panic?" Chu Yu said.
