I just want to draw cartoons quietly

In particular, the expression on Gu Yan's face was already obvious, and he attributed his selection as the voice actor of Meizi to Chu Yu's appreciation for her and the kind words in front of Huang Ming.

"It's so cold, why don't you go back!" Chu Yu said.

The implication is, you hurry up!

Familiar dialogue, familiar location.

It's just that this time Gu Yan has learned the lesson from last time.

He didn't discuss with Chu Yu whether the weather was cold or not.

"Teacher Shui Xin...I know there is a delicious hot pot restaurant nearby, but you haven't eaten yet..."

"I'm not hungry, thank you! I still have things to rush back, so go yourself!"

Are you kidding me, I rejected the big meal proposed by Huang Ming, and ran to eat hot pot with you?

"Cuckoo~"

Although Chu Yu said so, the sound from his stomach betrayed him.

"Teacher Shui Xin...are you shy?" Gu Yan asked with a smile.

"I'm just an ordinary girl, and I can't do anything to you."

"..." Chu Yu.

"Teacher Shuixin, don't worry, I have no intention of getting closer to you in order to seek any benefits for myself."

"The reason why I am waiting for you here is just to thank you for your recognition of me and the kind words in front of Producer Huang."

"I also hope that Teacher Shui Xin can give me some favors."

"..." Chu Yu.

......

A hot pot restaurant.

Chu Yu feasted on it.

Not to mention, although the decoration of this store is a bit rubbish, it is true that the taste is really good.

This is spicy...... straight to the forehead.

"How do you know this neighborhood so well?"

Chu Yu, who was not thick-skinned enough, finally did not make up his mind to reject the sincere person in front of him.

"Last time it was a coffee shop, this time it's a hot pot restaurant..."

These two stores are not far from Jiuxing, but they are both in small alleys, and they are of good quality and cheap.

"How is it? It's okay!" Gu Yan didn't eat much, but his face was very happy.

After all, it is impossible for her to invite Chu Yu to some high-end place, and her financial strength does not allow it.

Seeing that Chu Yu didn't seem to reject such a place, she was also relieved.

"I did a part-time job here for a year when I was a freshman, so I am very familiar with this neighborhood!"

"Here... a part-time job?"

"It's far away from the school, so why don't you come here?" Chu Yu asked suspiciously.

"That's right! It takes three hours to commute back and forth on weekends, but... the part-time jobs here are much higher than those near the school." Gu Yan said with a smile.

Chu Yu nodded after hearing the words.

He was also a poor man before. If he didn't make money by drawing comics, he probably should have a part-time job to make money on the weekend of his freshman year.

"Then... what do you want from me?" Chu Yu asked.

"No...Didn't I say that at the beginning?"

"It's just a simple thank you, Teacher Shui Xin. Although it's not a famous place, it's just a restaurant on the street."

"That's it?" Chu Yu asked.

"that's it!"

When Chu Yu heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

It seems that I think others are too complicated, and my vigilance is too strong.

The next thing is also very simple.

After the two finished their meal, they stopped by to go home, and exchanged Weixin codes during the process.

During the whole process, Gu Yan didn't say anything to ask him to help her.

After arriving at school, the two also separated like last time.

.......

Gu Yan looked at Chu Yu's Wei signal on his phone.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

For her, indeed, she didn't want to rely on Chu Yu for any direct benefits.

It's just... After meeting Chu Yu for the first time, she went back and carefully checked Chu Yu's growth experience as a cartoonist...

She just thinks a lot.

In a place like Los Angeles, one can win the Dragon Star Award for drawing a comic. It took only a short time for the first comic to be serialized in Shanghai, and now it has become famous in the Dragon Kingdom.

Just submit a script and Huang Ming can choose his script for animation production.

From Gu Yan's point of view, any opportunity to get in touch with such a person might be of great help to her in the future.

This time he felt that he was suitable for Meizi's seiyuu, and she finally got this opportunity.

Then what if he has other works that are also animated?

And, even putting that aside...

From Gu Yan's point of view, making friends with someone like Chu Yu seemed pretty good.

Of course, the premise is to ignore Chu Yu's occasional mudslide-like way of speaking.

Chapter 126

In the following days, the number of serialized episodes of Natsume's Account of Friends also increased week by week.

In the sixth episode, Sasada Jun, who has been looking for Shigure, and Shigure, who has been afraid to show up, finally meet on the roof of the abandoned building.

In the memory of Shigure, Sasada Junzai who came here to look for Shigure all the time said a word.

"Please, just once, please show up!"

This sentence was misunderstood by Shigure who was hiding Sasada Jun.

In the manga, he looked at Jun Sasada carefully through the dilapidated window, preventing her from finding him.

"Is that so..."

"If only I had seen you once..."

"You will never come again."

This scene once again made many fans of this work feel distressed.

Why are the monsters in this work so simple, and these monsters are so beautifully drawn, which is too different from other monster comics with monster elements.

The handsome painting style, the gentle hero Natsume, and the touching story.

Finally, after the serialization of the sixth chapter, the serialization of Natsume's Book of Friends in the Water Edge Journal has stabilized.

The three stories are of such quality, which surprised those who thought that Shui Xin could not handle such a work at first.

And in the Longguo manga world, the number of fans related to Natsume's Book of Friends is also increasing rapidly.

Among them, almost 80.00% of Natsume fans are women.

Under the propaganda of fans and Xuangui, the influence of Natsume's Book of Friends soon radiated to the fans of Qiye and Tachibana, two comic companies that focus on girl comics.

For a work like Natsume's Book of Friends, male fans may feel good after reading it, but they won't feel too deeply.

But for women, a sudden sentence in the work, as well as a picture will make them feel a strong emotional touch.

Among them, some people even equate the hero Natsume with the author Shui Xin.

Some of them went to watch the video of the Dragon Star Awards, and learned about Chu Yu's true face.

Many fanatical fans even think that Natsume's character prototype is Chu Yu.

Although Chu Yu's appearance is not as handsome as Natsume, but overall he is still good-looking, and his height is about the same as the set Natsume.

This point makes many fans of Natsume's Book of Friends very excited.

It's a pity that for Chu Yu's information, they only know that they are from Luo Province, and they are now working in Shanghai.

She didn't know the school and major that Chu Yu attended, otherwise Chu Yu felt that her peaceful life would definitely be disrupted.

It's just that...... If the popularity of Natsume's Friends' Account continues to grow like this, it will definitely be a matter of time before Chu Yu's identity in school is exposed.

In the water margin periodical, the works whose popularity ranks at the top of Natsume's Friends' Book feel a lot of pressure during this period.

Although the popularity ranking of Natsume's Friends Account after the sixth chapter is published is still the eighth in the water edge, but the gap between it and the seventh is very small.

After the serialization of the seventh chapter of Natsume's Book of Friends, The Swallow Under the Water, the ranking of Natsume's Book of Friends rose to seventh.

Such a rapid increase in popularity naturally attracted the attention of editors from many comic companies in the comics industry in Shanghai.

In the beginning, when Natsume's Account of Friends was serialized, they didn't even pay attention to this work.

When Shui Xin and Yu Jing's Weibo were fighting, although they noticed this work, they didn't take it too seriously.

But now....... As a serialized less than ten episodes, it can occupy the seventh place in the popularity ranking of journals like Shui Yuan, no matter how they are, it is impossible to continue to ignore this manga.

Could it be that there is an unexpected market for comics of this style in Dragon Country?

Compared with the achievements of Natsume's Book of Friends, editors in the manga industry are more concerned about this.

In today's Longguo comics market, it is really difficult to produce results.

No matter what type of comic works, there are countless masterpieces of comic masters.

If there is a market for this small and fresh type of comics, it will be a good thing for both cartoonists and editors to deliberately serialize similar works in the future. The pressure of competition will be greatly reduced, and it will be easier to achieve results.

But there are a few editors who have thought about similar things weeks in advance, compared to those who think about it now.

So in the eighth chapter of Natsume's Account of Friends, the week when it was serialized.

In a periodical of two manga clubs, Orange Cat and Seven Leaf, two new works started to be serialized along with a series of publicity.

However, readers who have read Natsume's Book of Friends can feel these two works called The Heart and Soul and the Forest of Demons only by looking at the style of painting and the slogan.

It is deliberately imitating the style of Natsume's Book of Friends.

The former is a story about the protagonist who is born to see the soul and helps those souls who are attached to the world to fulfill their wishes.

The setting of the latter is to tell the story of the protagonist, who is an exorcist, understanding and communicating with the monsters in the process of exorcising demons.

The plot form of the comics is not important. What is important is that the core selling points of the two comics are the communication, bond, and stories between humans and non-human creatures.

Just for this matter, Li Xi ran to Chu Yu's house with a worried face to discuss with Chu Yu.

But Chu Yu who heard the news was not panicked at all.

Although the system forbids Chu Yu to watch the comics that have not been unlocked, it does not prevent Chu Yu from understanding the development process of these works in different dimensions.

As long as Natsume's Book of Friends has been born in the parallel world for so many years, there are very few similar works.

There are always people who think that such works are good paintings, and they are famous only because there are few similar works.

But in fact, such an idea is contradictory. If such works are easy to draw, how can there be so few similar works?

The two editors of Orange Cat and Qiye obviously fell into such a misunderstanding.

So when the results of this week came out, the editors of other manga clubs who wanted to follow Natsume's Book of Friends also gave up the idea.

Because, the two works of Heart and Soul and Demon Forest are really ugly, and the results are too ugly.

Although it wasn't serialized in the ace periodical of the Seventh University of Magic City, it's not likely that the number of bad reviews is more than the number of votes for online votes.
