I just want to draw cartoons quietly

And the first and second chapters also clearly tell the first story, but at this time everyone has an urge to look forward to seeing the content of the next issue of this work.

........

Los Angeles Province is definitely the province where the sales volume of this issue of Water Edge Journal has skyrocketed.

After all, this is the headquarters of Shui Xin. In the entire Los Angeles comics industry, Shui Xin's name is definitely well-known, so many people bought Shui Yuan in order to support Shui Xin.

Among them, many people just thought about it, and just serialized it as Shui Xin's new work, and symbolically supported it. In the future, they may not buy Shui Yuan. After all, they are just fans of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories. Other works, and can not arouse interest.

It was only after they finished reading the two chapters serialized in Natsume's Book of Friends that they realized...it seemed that they had fallen into the pit again.

In various forums and fan groups, the enthusiasm for Shui Xin's new work Natsume's Account of Friends has gradually increased, and the comments are basically mostly positive.

Under such circumstances, the number of people who voted for Natsume's account of friends is also increasing rapidly.

......

In the major cartoon clubs in Longguo, after the popularization of the Internet, the statistics of the popularity and support rate of each comic work have changed from the previous letter delivery to online voting.

Under normal circumstances, because the new manga will attract the attention of many periodical fans, in the first two issues of serialization, its popularity voting ranking will not be at the bottom, but it will not be high either. The top ten works can be said to be well-known comic works of Longguo.

Most of the comics of this level already have the qualifications for animation, and there are tens of millions of single volumes sold.

It is basically difficult for new comics to catch up with these works in popularity.

But today, after the release of the new issue of Water Edge, Xuan Gui's background data statisticians discovered that the real situation is far from what they predicted.

The readers of Luan Xing voted for the 11th place, and the readers of Qianxing Secret Realm voted for the [-]th place. How did the real-time ranking reach No.[-]?

Moreover, he was in an inextricable stalemate with Xia Chuan, who had been ranked tenth in popularity for five consecutive months.

The difference in the number of votes for the two works is very small.

Unlike the low-level voting sites that Squid made, the real-time rankings can be seen on the top seven popular voting sites in Shanghai. As long as you log in to the account of an insider, it is clear at a glance where your work is at this moment.

Obviously, not to mention the outside world, even Xuangui's internal staff were very surprised by the results of Natsume's Book of Friends at this time.

The [-] works on the edge of water are basically divided into three grades.

The bottom five works are basically in the cut list. If the plot is sluggish and the popularity is low for a period of time, the assessment once every three months is likely to extend the sword to this work.

The bottom five to ten are some works with certain potential. If the follow-up plot is good, the popularity rises, and they squeeze into the top ten, then basically the works will be animated in the future, and the sales of book releases will skyrocket. Very likely.

And the works that can stabilize the top ten popularity rankings on the water edge are the works that can be called popular in the whole country in the true sense.

Most of the works have been animated or are on the way to be animated.

It is not uncommon for a single book to sell millions of copies every year, and for an author to earn more than ten million a year.

At this time, after the real-time voting information about Natsume's account of friends spread, the eyes of many practitioners in the manga industry in the entire magic city almost fell out.

Regardless of the fact that the new works serialized together with Natsume's Book of Friends, Thousand Stars Secret Realm and Chaos Stars, are ranked 67th and [-]th, it seems that there is not much difference from the [-]th place of Natsume's Book of Friends at this time, only five places.

But in fact, the number of readers' votes for Natsume's Friends' Account is almost two or three times that of them.

They are all new works, why is there such a big gap?

You must know that the author of those two works is also an old manga artist in Shanghai, and the fan group must have a higher reputation than Chu Yu.

But in the end, the three works were serialized together, and this is the result?

Is Shui Xin really such a genius?

Those media and cartoonists who bad-mouthed this work before Natsume's serialization lost their voices for a while.

Hei Xiamu's manuscripts written by many contributors in advance were decisively deleted by them.

.......

Chu Yu, who has been staying at her home, naturally also logged into the voting website and followed the voting information of her works.

But in the afternoon, Chu Yu lost interest.

After all, this work is only the serialization of the first and second chapters, and there must be a gap in popularity between the top ten manga works that have been serialized for at least a year.

So during the day, although the difference in the number of popularity votes between Natsume's Friends Account and Xia Chuan was small during the day, at night, the gap gradually widened.

According to this trend, it is estimated that the popularity ranking of the first issue of Natsume's Account of Friends will only be eleventh.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple!" Chu Yu could accept it.

The works in front of Chu Yu are basically the famous comic works of Longguo, even if he is serializing popular works in the parallel world, but before the plot unfolds and the number of readers has not developed, he wants to overwhelm those comics. The work is still too difficult.

So after predicting this result, Chu Yu also focused on drawing comics.

If you compete for the top ten picks, you can only wait for the next issue of Shui Yuan to be serialized.

.......

"Eleventh place..." Li Xi, who hadn't finished get off work yet, was also paying attention to Xia Mu's results all day long.

For this result, she did not expect it at all.

In her opinion, having the [-]th pick in the first round is already a good start.

She really didn't expect that this work would surprise her so much.

Of course, although the results of Natsume's Account of Friends exceeded everyone's expectations and caused some waves in the magic city comics circle, after all, it is just a new work.

So Li Xi is not overly happy. She is still waiting and watching. She will have to wait at least a few serials to judge the follow-up potential of this work based on the situation.

Chapter 1 Zero Nine Parties

Soon, midnight arrived.

The first round of Natsume's Account of Friends ended up in the eleventh place.

Most of the cartoon clubs in Longguo count the popularity of their comics based on the number of fans' votes on the day of release.

After all, the comic fans who bought the periodical on the day of release are generally die-hard fans of the periodical. The opinions of these people on the comic works in the periodical are the important decision-making indicators for the comic agency to increase the publicity of the work or directly cut it in half.

And Natsume's Account of Friends has a fixed number of votes in the whole country at around 31.

There is only a gap of 10 away from No.[-] Xia Chuan.

The circulation of each issue of Shuiyuan is as high as 900 million copies, and the readers of this level of journals are also very willing to vote. Generally speaking, the number of voters for each issue of Shuiyuan is in the range of 170 million to 220 million. Float up and down inside.

Judging from this data, the first period results of Natsume's Account of Friends are not bad.

It is equivalent to one-sixth of the people who voted for this work when they voted for it on the website.

For a manga editor like Li Xi who is used to big scenes, the first issue of Natsume's Book of Friends just surprised her.

This trend is actually similar to when Tang Xin first appeared in Shui Yuan.

With previous experience, Li Xi was also happy at the time, because she understood that it is important to get off to a good start with a good first-term result, but it is also very difficult, but it is even more difficult to maintain this popularity.

The good thing is... She has read all the manga name plots from chapters [-] to [-] of Natsume's Book of Friends.

If everyone likes the first and second chapters... Then in terms of the plot quality of Natsume's Book of Friends later... it seems that maintaining the current popularity is a small goal.

.....

Of course, Li Xi is a steady person, so he won't be too happy easily, but for other people, including other editors of Xuangui Manga Club and other manga practitioners in the manga circle of Shanghai.

This result is undoubtedly very impressive.

Many manga editors in Shanghai are envious and jealous!

Could it be that this woman, Li Xi, really has such a vicious vision, not only discovering Tang Xin, a talented girl cartoonist, but also a talented young cartoonist who is not inferior to Tang Xin?

......

In the comment area of ​​Moman Newsletter, many fans have been actively and enthusiastically.

"Hey, knock on the door!"

"Is Xiaochao here?"

"Didn't you say that Natsume's friends will eat paper cups if they don't rush to the street? Has your salary been paid this month? If you don't have money to buy paper cups, I'll mail you a box."

"Haha, the speed of light is really slapping your face. If Xia Mu's grades are only average and he has other excuses, the voting approval rate is almost catching up with the top ten works of those big names on Shuiyuan. Now he must have nothing to say!"

"Teacher Shuixin is really good. I saw one or two chapters of Natsume's account of friends and I almost burst into tears. I always feel that the monster named Lingyuan is my portrayal. When I was young, I was fat and my skin was still dark. People around me don't like me, but among my classmates, there is only one person who is willing to talk to me, play with me, and lend me homework. Really... people who have not had this kind of experience will not understand that a person The feeling of being squeezed out....... For Ling Yuan, Reiko may be her only friend in the past few decades! That's why she has been looking for Reiko's footsteps for decades..."

"At first I thought Hishigaki was an evil monster, but I didn't expect it to heal like this later. It's a pity that it's too short. I really hope to come soon next week. I feel that my male god has changed from Kenshin to Natsume."

"The one upstairs is too much. Although Natsume is indeed very gentle, I think Kenshin is more charming than Kenshin. I still can't forget the scene of Kenshin and Yukidaiba embracing at the end of the memory chapter. It's a pity. Teacher Shuixin is gone, otherwise I think with the popularity and excitement of Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences, I am afraid it is entirely possible to animate this work!"

The host of Moman Express was relieved when he saw that the topic of discussion among the fans in the comments section of his program had changed from letting himself eat paper cups to discussing the plot of Shuixin comics.

Generally speaking, although he is very venomous, he still leaves some leeway when commenting on a certain work. I set a flag, but I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly.

He didn't receive much money, but instead made himself ashamed in front of his fans, Xiao Chao always felt that he had lost a horse.

.......

In a certain apartment, Song Jiayu looked at the results of the first serialization of Natsume's Book of Friends sent by his contacts in Shanghai on his mobile phone.

The complexion is very bad.

In the past few weeks, he has done a lot of actions, calling many well-known cartoonists in the magic city he is familiar with and the hosts of some comic review programs to belittle Natsume before publication.

Normally speaking, it's normal for general works to drop by at least [-] to [-]% because of this kind of work, but according to Xuangui's rules, maybe it's because of the low popularity of Natsume's friend account in the early days, and the subsequent word-of-mouth collapse directly It might even be cut in half.

That kind of situation is what Song Jiayu is most happy to see. If Chu Yu’s first work in Shanghai is to hit the street, then basically no one else will pay attention to him when he goes to any comic agency in Shanghai. Well, over time, under such circumstances, there are many talented cartoonists who lost their spirits and eventually gave up on comics.

It's just that Song Jiayu's idea is good, but Natsume's [-]th place in the first issue of Shuyuan's account of friends directly makes him as disgusted as if he ate half a fly.

Not to mention cutting in half, this first round of results is simply a precursor to a hit comic!

For him, the better Chu Yu gets along in the future, the more uncomfortable he will be.

"It's just the first and second comics. Huh, there are too many anticlimactic comics. Maybe the next issue will collapse when his plot is published." Song Jiayu could only comfort himself like this.

However, when he recalled that when Rurouni Kenshin's Memories was serialized on Manying, it seemed that it was also in the top ten in the first issue, and then it went all the way to the top...

My heart is a little empty.

This is impossible!

This is Magic City, and his serial journal is Shuiyuan. If he wants to copy the original trend of Los Angeles Province, then he thinks highly of him too much.

.......

The next day.

At Chu Yu's home, he and his two assistants, He Sheng and Lin Fan, finally drew the original manuscript of Chapter [-] of Natsume's Book of Friends.

Today Lin Fan and He Sheng work very seriously.

Originally, when Li Xi first found out that they were working as assistants for a cartoonist who could serialize comics on Shuiyuan, the two of them were very excited.

However, after meeting the real Chu Yu and finding out that he was a young man a few years younger than himself, he couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in his heart.

Even when he knew that the other party was the author of this year's Dragon Star Awards, there was always a thought that the other party might be lucky for a while.

But today... Judging from the two people's work attitudes and their respect for Chu Yu's details, it is obvious that yesterday, Natsume's first grade of Friends' Account finally ranked No.11 in Shuiyuan. Great stimulation.

You said it was luck for a Dragon Star Award, but they immediately went to Shanghai to draw a new work that has a high probability of becoming a hit manga, how can you still call it luck?

How can there be so much luck in this world?

"Chu Yu, He Sheng, come and see, something happened!" Lin Fan, who had finished his work and was browsing the news on the Internet, suddenly exclaimed.

1 Ten Chapters Weblog

When the first serialization of Natsume's Book of Friends caused quite a stir in Shanghai and even Dragon Kingdom.

Yu Jing, a famous cartoonist in Shanghai and the author of "Three Sisters Next Door", posted a post on her Weibo.
