I just want to draw cartoons quietly

In February, as a local cartoonist in Los Angeles, he won the Dragon Star Award, an influential award in the Dragon Country cartoon industry, and the animation magazines in the entire Los Angeles Province made a high-profile discussion on this matter in January. reports.

But after that month was over, there was much less news about Shui Xin in the entire Los Angeles cartoon industry.

Those who have some connections in the Los Angeles comics world may know the reason... Shui Xin and Cuttlefish had a falling out!

Cuttlefish through its influence, in the heart of cold processed water.

Many people who know the inside story can't help but sigh, feeling that the price of Shui Xin's comeback is too high...

Give up serializing a work that won the Dragon Star Award to help an editor.

Some people think that Shui Xin is loyal enough, while others think that Shui Xin is stupid...

But most people think that their fan Shuixin teacher is resting and conceiving a new chapter for Rurouni Kenshin.

But silently, Chu Yu left the city where he had lived for 18 years with his luggage alone, and came to the magical city, a place full of legends...

First of all, I rented a house near the school I was studying.

Three bedrooms, one room for rest, one room for work, and one room for guest room.

Seeing the annual rent of tens of thousands flowing into the landlord's aunt's account, Chu Yu's always calm expression showed a trace of heartache.

Really expensive, this price!

Chu Yu serialized 30 chapters of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, and the total remuneration he received was only a little over 10,000 yuan. After deducting taxes and other things, he only had [-]+ funds left.

Adding in the expenses for the past six months and paying the tuition fees, Chu Yu took almost 20 funds and went to the magic city alone.

Since a new serialization plan is to be launched in Shanghai, it is definitely unrealistic to live in a school dormitory. After such a period of serialization experience in Los Angeles, Chu Yu also understands that when he comes to Shanghai, it will be a matter of time before he forms a comic team. matter.

One or two manga assistants will definitely be hired, so although I only live alone, I also rented a three-bedroom house, which is also convenient for everyone to rest when it is inconvenient.

In general, although the flesh hurts, the money still has to be spent.

It took a day to tidy up the house, and then purchased some painting tools, seats and benches, which was another expense.

Seeing that there was only about 15 balance left in the bank card, Chu Yu could only sigh, money is really easy to use!

Lying on the bed, Chu Yu picked up the phone and flipped through the messages!

On Weixin, there are not many people who will contact Chu Yu, only Zhao Qinyin and Su Yi are a few people.

Coincidentally, Zhao Qinyin's university was the university in Tokyo, and Su Yu went to RB Tokyo alone, looking for a job for a month, and finally found a decent job.

In a medium and large manga company in RB Tokyo, he continues to work as a manga editor.

Originally, RB's local comics circles have always looked down upon the comics circles in the Dragon Kingdom. After all, when comics emerged, RB took the lead for 20 years and promoted this theme overseas, gaining high influence and popularity. After gaining popularity, the mainland gradually followed suit.

Therefore, the industry at RB has a kind of contempt and rejection of their counterparts from mainland China.

But when Su Zhe went to look for a job wearing the hat of a Dragon Star Award-winning manga editor, the meaning was different, at least there would be no such contempt!

So it is relatively easy to find a job, and the salary is also given according to the senior manga editors in the local market!

As soon as Zhao Qinyin went to Tokyo, she had a party with Su Bao!

The two met at the RB Tavern, and the photos they sent were full of sushi and barbecue, which made Chu Yu hungry.

Moreover, some RB local men saw Zhao Qinyin's drinking capacity in the tavern, and they felt like a competition, but she drank five or six people down.

According to what Su Yu said these days, Zhao Qinyin is already a little famous when he passes by that area now.

After all, that night, there were many people watching Zhao Qinyin's terrifying drinking capacity in that tavern. It was really enough for ordinary people to drink water, so she just drank it!

Chu Yu enjoyed watching these news alone.

The night of the Dragon Star Award seemed like yesterday!

But after a closer look, more than half a year has passed.

Chu Yu hasn't drawn comics for more than half a year!

By the way, comics!

Thinking of this, Chu Yu sat up from the bed.

After half a year, the consciousness was immersed in the system space.

As soon as he entered it, Chu Yu could feel that he had worked so hard in Los Angeles Province for so long, and the B-level and S-level lottery chances he had obtained were calling him.

In the past six months, Chu Yu has been busy with the college entrance examination. Anyway, it is impossible to continue serializing works in Squid, so Chu Yu ignored these two lottery qualifications.

But today, the house is also rented, and it is only a week before the start of school. Anyway, these two lottery qualifications should be used first!

"System, use the B-level lottery chance!"

"The host is sure to use the B-level lottery chance?"

"Sure!"

After getting Chu Yu's affirmation, the familiar lottery draw of the system began!

The cursor flickers on each work, the difference is that the works where the cursor flickers stay are all works rated B by the system!

Half a minute later, the cursor was fixed on a work!

"Congratulations to the host, the top B-level work has been drawn... an unknown flower name!"

Unknown flower name?What kind of inexplicable name is this?

At the beginning, Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was tricked by the system, but immediately, Chu Yu reacted.

Top B Grade.....

The focus is on the top two words. Sure enough, works of the same level are also divided into high and low in the eyes of the system.

But at this time, Chu Yu didn't have the heart to watch this comic in this space, after all, he still had an S-level lottery chance that he didn't use.

"System, use the S-level lottery chance!"

"The host is sure?"

"Sure!"

The lottery cursor that just stopped started to jump again, but this time, the number of works that the cursor stayed on was very small compared to before.

In any case, S-level works are not bad street stuff, and this amount can only be attributed to the outstanding comic creators in the parallel world!

Soon, the system cursor finally stopped.

"Congratulations to the host, for drawing an S-level work...Natsume's Book of Friends!"

This time, no prefix was added in front of the S-level, which means that a relatively ordinary S-level work from the system's point of view was drawn!

Chu Yu sighed lightly.

Sure enough, it's not so easy to get a comic that lasts a lifetime like Sea of ​​Dead Fire.

However, Unheard Hana and Natsume's Book of Friends...

Why are the names of these two works weirder than the other? Don't use the system to trick him!

Chu Yu was bored anyway, so he started reading these two comics in the system.

(Note: Starting point for the first release of this book, although you can subscribe to other channels for money, but the same subscription price is less than half of the income that the author can get from the starting point. Money has twice the effect, why not do it?

The author's thoughts: The reason I chose Natsume's Book of Friends is because this work seems to be popular, and it is the kind of unit drama. After the writing is almost finished, the protagonist can be arranged to finish this work quickly!Words such as Sword Art Online and fz are also popular, but as everyone said, this kind of works seem to be more attractive in animation, so the animation major that the protagonist studied will also come in handy later. It is better to look at these animations Let's write more emotional works later!

As for the rating of the work, there are too many things to count because of the author's subjective opinion, so you don't have to argue about whether Natsume is S-rated or not. This kind of thing is purely a matter of personal preference!

It doesn't matter if you think it is A, S, or even B, but, in the author's book, it is tentatively designated as S. If you think it is unreasonable, then take it as one of the author's works. Small bug, I want to know that everyone likes Natsume's work, so I gave it an A in the Dragon Star Award.Moreover, although it is impossible to write it out, according to the popularity and influence of Pleasant Goat, it can also be ranked as S!Thinking about it this way, do you think Natsume S is worthless?

So don't worry about it!

In addition, this plot is a little sloppy, so I will update it tonight. I will straighten out this plot before I talk about it, so I won’t write it indiscriminately, so as to avoid bugs later! )

Chapter 93 Planning

In the middle of the night, Chu Yu popped out from the system space consciousness!

That calm face was also a little moved. After reading Unheard Huaming's work, Chu Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and then went to Natsume's Book of Friends...... How should I say it, everyone It's uncomfortable in a sense!

"As expected of a system!" Chu Yu sighed.

Although the two works are one S and one B, in fact, the difference in quality is not that big. The difference is that the narrative style and plot of Natsume’s Book of Friends are relatively new. There is no similar work before Longguo, and the length It's also relatively long, maybe it's ranked in the S rank.

As for the unheard flower name, at first, Chu Yu seemed relatively bored, but after reading a few episodes, he gradually became more interested, until the end of the plot broke out, which made Chu Yu almost not overwhelmed. .

But now comes the problem...

How should these two works be serialized?

The reason why he chose Shanghai to go to college, Chu Yu must be thinking that he can serialize his works in a comic club like the Seventh University of Shanghai in the future.

The Seven Greats of the Devil's City refers to Phoenix, Xuangui, Tianji, Qiye, Tangerine Cat, Aoba, and Water Hedgehog, these seven comic companies.

Among them, Qiye and Jumao, the serial style mainly focuses on girl comics. Basically, well-known female cartoonists in Longguo basically serialize their works in these two companies.

As for the two comic companies, Tianji and Water Hedgehog, their serialized comic styles tend to be fighting and passionate works.

As for Aoba, Xuangui, and Phoenix, there is no fixed style, and there are works of any type.

But in any case, no matter which company it is, if you only serialize works in their general periodicals, the requirements are relatively not very strict.

Most of the cartoonists who contributed to the Seventh Big Magic City, there are generally very few newcomers, and they are basically cartoonists who have already made a certain reputation in various provinces. Otherwise, the probability of passing the serialization is extremely low!

And those top cartoonists at the provincial level submit their articles to the general journals of the seven major cities in Shanghai, and it is not a big problem for them to be serialized.

But if you want to serialize it in the ace periodicals and magazines under the seven banners of Shanghai, then you have to be particular about it.

After all, such journals usually have a fixed number of serials, only a dozen to twenty.

Except for the seven or eight unshakable mid-length manga serial positions that are occupied by those top cartoonists in the true sense of the Dragon Kingdom, there are very few serial seats left for other cartoonists in the entire magic city.

How many outstanding cartoonists have been cultivated in the entire Dragon Kingdom and more than 40 provinces in the past 20 years?

There are more than 100 entries for this year's Dragon Star Award alone, and Wang He and Shen Xin are also among the top cartoonists in the province, but due to the limited number of entries, they are not eligible to participate. Over the past 20 years, the number of them is definitely not small.

But can you say they are weak?Maybe the next work will rise up?

This group of people, even if only some of them are willing to come to the Demon City, the number is astonishing.

In contrast, the number of serials in the ace journals under the seven banners of Shanghai is really too scarce.

In the case of many monks and few meat, even if Chu Yu won this year's Dragon Star Award, it is still difficult to get such a serialization qualification based on this.

But it is not completely impossible, at least with such past achievements, coupled with the high quality of the new work, there is still a possibility.

Therefore, Chu Yu also has a headache now.

Whether it's Natsume's Book of Friends, or an unknown flower name, the early stages are relatively dull!

It's not the kind of comic that starts off with a bang!

Natsume is okay, the style has always been like this, people who can be attracted by this work will be attracted by the first episode, and those who don't like the style of the first episode may not be able to read it later!

But I really have a headache before I hear the name of the flower. There are more than a dozen episodes of comics in the front, and the accumulation and explosion of emotions are completed in the last two or three episodes!

He wants to submit such a work to the ace journal under the seven banners of Shanghai, what is the final situation?

On this point, Chu Yu has no idea in his heart!

He took out the business card he received when he came to Shanghai to participate in the Dragon Star Awards from his pocket.

There are more than 20 copies in total, including those from the seven major comic companies in Shanghai, and also from other medium and large comic companies!

Here, first of all, he doesn't consider Phoenix Comic Club.

Secondly, Chu Yu can also see that these two works are somewhat biased towards the style of girl comics, so Chu Yu also set his sights on the two comic companies of Orange Cat and Qiye.

But nowadays......

Chu Yu didn't even draw the original manuscript of the manga. Anyway, if you want to submit it, you must have at least three episodes of each work's plot!

Twenty pages per chapter, six chapters, even after the system has strengthened Chu Yu's comic skills, he alone, no matter what, has to draw with all his strength for more than three weeks.

"Oh, if only Zhao Qinyin was here!" Chu Yu really missed her at this moment.

With the cooperation of Chu Yu and her, the two of them worked overtime at night. With Zhao Qinyin, a hand speed monster, and Chu Yu, a human flesh manga recorder, this workload may be over in two weeks.

But now, Chu Yu is not familiar with the place of life in Shanghai, so it is meaningless to recruit a few manga assistants to delay a few days. I am afraid that if he does not cooperate well by then, it will even be worse than Chu Yu starting alone now. Draw even slower.

As for why Chu Yu didn't prepare a new work in advance in the past six months......

It's all because he's too lazy, procrastination for half a year!
