I just want to draw cartoons quietly

Lu Liu had a bad feeling.

Shui Xin... don't make trouble!

After reading this episode, Lu Liu was in a difficult mood. He looked at the promotional poster about Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences Participating in the Dragon Star Awards, and then looked at the Kenshin and Yuki Daiba on the cover of this issue of Manying Encounter coloring page cover.

Even a diving party like Lu Liu took out his mobile phone, found Manying's voting page, and voted accurately and quickly for Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences.

Even though he has already watched Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences, he still decided to vote for paid subscriptions for the Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences, which is temporarily logged on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards, after the start of the Dragon Star Awards selection next week.

For nothing else, this work touched him.

It doesn't matter to him whether this work can win the Dragon Star Award, but it will make him very unhappy if it is compared with some inexplicable rubbish works.

The reason why the diving party dives is because the quality of the works is not high enough. If they can really awaken the enthusiasm of this group of people, then their combat effectiveness is also terrible.

Obviously, on this day, there are many people like Lu Liu. This issue is the third section of Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences, which is the end of Xiaolishan.

It is also the first issue of Cuttlefish Comics Club to promote the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter on the cover, and even urgently printed a coloring page poster in the middle of the periodical. In terms of Manying's promotional resources, Kenshin and Yuki Daiba occupy the absolute C position.

At the same time, the plot of this episode raised the tone of the whole work, and brought the atmosphere to the highest point.

All these operations have mobilized the enthusiasm of the diving parties in the previous Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences.

This also contributed to the disbelief that Su Bao felt when he saw the voting results of this episode of Manying tonight.

"This issue, your vote count is 450 two votes."

"Compared to the [-] votes of the previous issue, it has increased by almost [-] votes..."

"So many?" Chu Yu was also a little surprised.

To be honest, Chu Yu obeyed Su Yu's request last week, drew two more coloring pages and handed them to her.

In any case, before last Friday, Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences had been ranked first in popularity for two consecutive weeks. As a comic agency, no matter how powerful Song Jiayu is, it is impossible to continue to suppress a company. The most popular work.

So this issue of Manying, Chu Yu knows that the cover is the coloring page of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories.

At the time, it was pretty sure that Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrances would qualify for the Dragon Star Award, so I drew an extra color page as a promotional poster.

After all, the first round of the Dragon Star Award was based on the subscription behavior of netizens as votes, so how could the fans of Rurouni Kenshin Memories of Los Angeles Province not spread the news to them?

But no matter what, the selection of the Dragon Star Award will start next week, and the results will only be announced next week no matter how effective the publicity is.

So Chu Yu didn't take this matter too seriously.

But he didn't know that the number of supporters rose by almost [-] inexplicably today.

After all, although this work hadn't been promoted before, at least it had reached the top of Manga, so Chu Yu didn't think the promotion that Cuttlefish just made up now would be of any use?

But Chu Yu really didn't expect that the effect would be so obvious.

"This...you have broken your own record again." Su He let out a long breath.

She has said this sentence to Chu Yu for two consecutive weeks. Could it be that she will say this sentence once a week in the future?

But anyway?

The promotion of the Dragon Star Award this time seems to be very effective, mobilizing the support of many potential fans, and they even voted for the popularity of Manying's works.

Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease.

Chapter 60 nights

When the popularity votes for Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences were counted this week, Cuttlefish, and even the entire Los Angeles manga community, did not know how to evaluate this work.

Although the news that Shui Xin is a male teenager has not fully spread, but basically people in the comics circle in Los Angeles Province are relatively well-informed.

Newcomers, cartoonists, high school students...these elements are very eye-catching.

When everyone has recognized that the young man whose pen name is Shuixin and whose real name is Chu Yu is a rare genius in the comics circle of Los Angeles Province for decades.

Shui Xin once again taught the Los Angeles comics industry a lesson.

With more than 6 votes, this is not only a record for cuttlefish's popularity votes, but also a peak for the entire province of Los Angeles.

In the entire Los Angeles comics circle, more and more people have used the title of the number one cartoonist in Los Angeles to refer to Shui Xin...

......

This weekend, the entire Dragon Kingdom is immersed in celebration. After all, the thirty-first year is Sunday.

Compared with the bustling city on Saturday, Mingcheng on Sunday seemed a little deserted and lonely.

Basically everyone stays behind closed doors and stays at home with their families.

Even though he was only at home alone, Chu Yu still cooked a New Year's Eve dinner by himself, and after offering incense to his parents, Chu Yu himself was content with himself.

On Weixin, both Zhao Qinyin and Su Yu sent him blessings.

Squid's New Year condolence text messages were also sent over, and even some comic writers who exchanged mobile phone numbers at the Squid Annual Meeting also sent blessing text messages.

It was as if he had really become a social person.

Compared with Chu Yu's status as a high school student, the profession of cartoonist now undoubtedly has a greater impact on his life.

At Zhao Qinyin's home, she turned on the TV after eating the New Year's Eve dinner with her grandma, and accompanied her to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Although she felt that the show was getting boring every year, and it wasn't even as interesting as drawing original comics at Chu Yu's house, Zhao Qinyin still smiled and went along with her grandma all night, chatting with her.

......

Unlike Chuyu and Zhao Qinyin, who are lonely and dependent on their grandmother, they are in Wangxian, another county more than 100 kilometers away from Mingcheng.

The whole family of Su Yi gathered together.

Her parents, uncle, second uncle, third aunt... until the seventh uncle, and all the aunts, their children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, her nephews and nieces, and even the nephews and grandnieces. There were about 40 people, centered on Su Bao's grandfather, a total of about five tables were filled.

"Xiao Zhi, why is this one coming back for the New Year this year!"

"Where's your boyfriend?" Su's grandfather asked first.

"Where did she get a boyfriend! Last year, she said that she would bring her home this year. Look at this..."

"It's not that I'm talking about you, Xiao Zhe, the Sun family I called you to go home for a blind date three months ago. The conditions in the house are very good. After seeing your photo, they can't forget it...... What do you do? I just don’t want to come back, I think it’s like this, just in time for the Chinese New Year, I’ll invite him out the day after tomorrow, you guys can meet up... If it’s done, you won’t have to go to Mingcheng to be a manga editor in the future, It’s so big, and I’m still inseparable from those children’s stuff..."

it has started.

Su Yu's relaxed expression before suddenly collapsed.

It's like this every year, can't you stop it a little bit?

......

This year, everyone has their own feelings. When twelve o'clock in the evening comes, a new day and a new year come.

The official website of the Dragon Star Awards created by the Seventh University of Shanghai for the selection of the Dragon Star Awards.

Quietly, 160 seven comics were put on the shelves.

On this New Year's Eve night, even Chu Yu, Su Bao, and Zhao Qinyin were almost asleep at this time.

After all, the selection of the Dragon Star Awards lasted for a full six weeks, so if you really want to pay attention, you don't need to watch the website all the time.

But there are always exceptions to everything. It seems that most people like to watch the Spring Festival Gala together with their families during the Chinese New Year, but there are also many people who like to stay in the room alone and play games.

As for Dragon Kingdom fans, this evening, compared to Chinese New Year, the start of the Dragon Star Award selection also makes them excited.

The selection of such an award is not only a grand event for cartoonists, but also a grand event for their fans.

In the eyes of many comic fans, it has been "0202" and the Internet has become so popular, but the comic industry does not seem to be connected with the Internet.

Each province has its own comic company and its own sales channels.

It is not uncommon for comic fans in neighboring provinces to be ignorant of each other's popular comics.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, online publication should be a channel for a comic company to expand the influence of its excellent comics.

But the imagination is very full, and the reality is very skinny. The comic companies that have tried this way often not only fail to attract the attention of comic fans in other provinces, but the periodical buyers in their own provinces do not buy physical periodicals because they have online publications. All of them went to watch the online serials, which led to a huge drop in the sales of comic periodicals and a sharp drop in the income of comic agencies.

With the previous examples of failure, the later comic companies have a tacit understanding of only focusing on physical journals.

This also led to the current situation in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry.

It is also because of this that Xinmanwang's comic recommendation section has a certain popularity. Although not all the netizens on it want to read pirated posts on it, but you comic agencies have nothing to do to distribute genuine works to other provinces, so you can't blame people I went online to watch pirated copies.

Although those works are often sealed just by looking at them......

The selection of the Dragon Star Award just met the needs of fans of Longguo comics who want to know what kind of comics in other provinces are like.

It is genuine, and it is basically the top comics in each province. The viewing experience is undoubtedly much better than the pirated posts on Xinman.com, and you can complain and leave comments on the real-time comic reading on the website.

So every year, when the selection of the Dragon Star Awards starts, the traffic on the selection official website will reach a terrifying value during the Chinese New Year period.

.......

At two o'clock in the morning, the official website of the Dragon Star Awards updated these cartoons two hours later.

After entering the official website of the Dragon Star Award, Li Xing saw the ranking of the comics.

The ranking list of participating comics for the Dragon Star Award is calculated based on the number of paid readers of this comic.

The number one work is Qin Sheng's popular masterpiece, Blazing Feather, and he just logged into this website for two hours.

In terms of work information, after reading the first three chapters for free, the number of people who recharge and pay to read the subsequent chapters of the comics has exceeded [-]. Even every time the interface is refreshed, Li Xing will find that the number of people paying for the work has increased rapidly.

The second-ranked work is still Qin Province's popular comic book, Soul of War, and the number of paying users has just exceeded [-].

The third-ranked work is still Qin Sheng's popular work, My Teacher's Secret, with more than [-] paid readers.

Afterwards, the fourth to seventh are all well-known cartoon works of Qin Province.

It's just that the eighth-ranked work is Su Sheng's work, Xia Zhimeng.

Although it was only a temporary situation, isn't Qin Sheng's work ranked eighth?

Li Xing's eyes narrowed, and he wrote down the name of this work. He will definitely come back to read this comic when the time comes.

Chapter 61 Rating

Li Xing continue to look down

As for No.9's work, it became Qin Sheng's entry cartoon again.

The comics in the lower rankings are comics from various provinces, with a variety of themes and irregular production areas, and basically the number of people who pay is only a few thousand, and the few are hundreds.

After a cursory glance, Li Xing is undoubtedly excited and proud now.

Although these cartoons have only been posted on the website for about two hours, eight of the top ten works are cartoons by Qin Sheng. As a native of Qin Province, it is only natural that Li Xing would have such emotions .

And the reason why the top ten only occupy eight seats is because Qin Province only has eight entries for the Dragon Star Award...

But it's no wonder, after all, Qin Province is the province with the largest population in Dragon Kingdom. The population of the entire province is almost 3000 million, which is almost three or four times the population of other ordinary provinces. On such a population base, the comics born The strength of Jiahe Comic Company is the most powerful province in the entire Dragon Kingdom except for Shanghai and RB.

While comic companies in other provinces were still complacent about the sales volume of their magazines in the hundreds of thousands, there were as many as five comic periodicals in Qin Province that sold more than one million copies per week.

This has also led to the selection of the Dragon Star Awards over the years, which are basically the cartoon slaughter list of Qin Province.

After all, the quality of Qin Sheng's comics is indeed excellent, and secondly, they have too many local fans.

It can be seen from the rules of the selection of the Dragon Star Award that the quality of the work is very important, but the popularity and number of fans of the work itself are also very important.

The former is the key to the work attracting fans from other provinces to pay, and the latter, let alone......

Just like Blazing Feather, which is temporarily ranked number one, the number of paying users is almost [-], and at least [-] of them are loyal fans of the work itself who came to subscribe to a chapter to show their support.

In fact, it is not bad to have [-] passerby readers.

But so what?

As long as it is not maliciously brushing votes, such behavior of fans is within the scope of the rules.

In such a populous province, he has won the love of so many fans, how can you not allow him to support him?

With the support of many fans, the work of Blazing Feather is now on the top of the ranking list. This situation has caused those fans from other provinces who entered the official website to see the first work when they came in. feather.

Under this prerequisite, these people will most likely click and read the first work, and with the quality of Blazing Feather, after these people click in, they will be attracted by it, so it is natural to pay to read the following plot. .

So even though in the selection of the Dragon Star Award, the passers-by in the entire Dragon Country must be several orders of magnitude higher than the fans of a certain work. On the surface, the fans of the work itself seem to be unable to determine whether the work can break through the first round of selection. decisive influence.

But in fact, if your work has enough fan support in your province before, at least they can get you a Tianhu start.

After all, manga fans have limited energy, over 100 works, whoever is so free will read them all, and only pick the works at the top of the list.

You drew a shocking cartoon, but at the beginning it ranked at the bottom of more than 100 works. Is it useful?How many people are in the mood to browse to that location?
