Chapter 152 Li Xi's Proposal
"I want to reiterate, I'm not partial to painting tragic works! And it's not a tragedy if I haven't heard the flower name! Ya Yizi finally became a Buddha and reincarnated. This should be the best ending for her!" Chu Yu said speechlessly.
"It's useless for you to tell me this?" Li Xi shrugged.
"The audience thinks you are cheating, that's enough!"
"All in all, apart from scolding you, there is a large group of unnamed animation fans now who are also interested in your other works."
"I won't say much about the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. Regarding the Natsume Friends Book, have you read the results of the Natsume Friends Book in the new episode yesterday?"
"Not yet?" Chu Yu asked blankly.
He hasn't paid much attention to the popularity vote ranking of Natsume's friend account during this time. Although the popularity votes in each issue are basically more than 500,000, ranking fourth, after all, the gap between the third place and Dragon Soul is still quite large. of.
The top three works in the Shuiyuan journal basically have more than one million popularity votes in each issue, and the level difference is too great.
Of course, this is not to say that the quality of Natsume's works is not as good as theirs, or that the gap is so big.
The reason why there is such a gap is because Chu Yu has been famous in the Dragon Kingdom for too short time in the magic capital, and he wants to compete with the top three works on the water edge, but now the number of fans of Chu Yu is still poor. a lot.
"How? You don't mean to say that my Natsume friend account in this issue is more popular than Dragon Soul, the third one!" Chu Yu said.
"Of course not!" Li Xi said.
"But the difference is not that big!"
"In this issue's popularity vote, the number of votes in Natsume's friend account has risen by 200,000 votes compared to the previous issue, and the gap between the 1.05 million votes of Dragon Soul is only 200,000 votes. !"
"It seems that animation fans who haven't heard the name are scolding, but there are indeed many people who are attracted, so the popularity of Natsume's friend account will rise so fast, just to see how these people can stay after a few issues. How much!"
"Isn't that still fourth?" Chu Yu sighed.
"Although it is true, the number of your fans has indeed increased, aren't you happy?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu strangely.
"Of course I'm happy!" Chu Yu faltered.
But for Chu Yu, what he wants most is an increase in popularity rankings.
Chu Yu would be very happy if Natsume's Friends Book could be voted No. 1 on Shuiyuan in a certain issue.
Judging from the previous systematic approach, at least one S-level work did not have to run the lottery.
"It's weird, you!" Li Xi shook his head.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you! It's the crimson abyss of Zhou Qin, who has always been the most popular journal on the water edge. According to the information given by the company, this work may still have a few weeks or so. It's over!"
"The scarlet abyss is coming to an end?" Chu Yu was surprised when he heard that.
In any case, this work is a column cartoon in the water edge of the column, the national single book sales exceeded 100 million, and the Dragon Kingdom's popular work has been serialized for more than seven years.
Although there have been rumors that this work is about to end, in fact, everyone is a little unconvinced. After all, such a cash cow, dragging the plot, drawing two or three years to drain the remaining value is the kingly way. already?
"It is said that Zhou Qin said that he has a new idea that can surpass the scarlet abyss, and his attitude is also very tough, so the comic club also agreed with his proposal to end it!"
"Then what does this have to do with me?" Chu Yu heard the words.
"Don't you understand yet?" Li Xi said.
"Didn't you say it before? You have the idea of double-opening comics, and the time when the scarlet abyss ends is also the time to add new works on the water edge."
"During that time, with the end of the scarlet abyss and the slashing of some other works, there were four vacancies on the waterfront. If you have a very good work submitted during this period, even if it is a double-opening, I will I think the manga company will also agree to your serialization request with a high probability."
"And because of the end of the scarlet abyss, those fans who originally only read this work on the water edge will most likely find one or two new comics on the water edge to follow up on before Zhou Qin's new work is published. If The quality of your new work is really good, maybe you can absorb the popularity."
Li Xi's words were more euphemistic, but when Chu Yu heard the words, he thought about it himself, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.
When the new work was opened during the period when the Crimson Abyss was over, indeed many people would also pay attention to this new work, which is a wave of excellent publicity resources invisibly.
"Just to see if you have this idea?" Li Xi said.
"I asked you before, and you said that the work has not yet been conceived! If you have conceived it during this time, you can tell me, and I will help you arrange it!"
The more Chu Yu thought about it, the more moved he felt.
It's just that he hasn't drawn out the new work, so it's not very easy to respond to Li Xi here for the time being.
After a few polite words with Li Xi, Li Xi picked up the original comic and left here.
New work serialized!
To be honest, Chu Yu has had this idea for a long time. With the production capacity of his studio, two comics a week is not a problem.
Then do it!
Find a time to use that A-level lottery chance.
Forget it, what time are you looking for? Do it now!
Chu Yu forcibly restrained his procrastination.
However, right at this moment, the phone rang, quenching Chu Yu's enthusiasm.
Chu Yu looked at the caller and answered the phone.
"Hey, Producer Huang, why did you remember to call me?"
"Mr. Shui Xin, you are right, isn't it normal for us to make a phone call to you as a cooperative relationship?"
"Is something wrong?"
"Haha, I can't hide it from Teacher Shui Xin!"
"It's our company, thanks to the excellent performance of Unwen Hua Ming's closing, we are going to hold a press conference for the main creative team in two days. Call and invite Teacher Shui Xin!"
"Ah, uh. Understood!" Chu Yu's thoughts turned around in his mind.
But after a few seconds, he still agreed to Huang Ming's invitation.
Originally, Chu Yu wanted to refuse at first, but no matter how he thought about it, such an activity was also his duty and responsibility.
In any case, the animation adaptation cost of more than one million yuan was given to him by nine stars and one cent. Now, it would be too irresponsible to people not to go there when they have something to do.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yu's thoughts about wanting to draw a lottery work at first also faded.
He understands himself. If he pulls out the works, he will definitely start chasing comics non-stop. Since he may be disturbed by the trivial matter of writing unheard flower names, Chu Yu thinks, it is better to finish these things temporarily. Say it again.
But really itchy.
Looking back on my comic history over the past year.
The Garden of Words made his debut, the Rurouni Kenshin recollection became famous, and the account of Natsume's friends gained a firm foothold in the magic capital.
What's next?
Chu Yu is looking forward to the next lottery draw. It would be great if he can draw a work that can quickly accumulate popularity.
Today, Chu Yu's popularity is still much worse than those of the real famous cartoonists in the magic capital.
Although the results of Natsume's Friends Book are very good, after all, this is the audience of the subject matter.
Such healing works have strong fan stickiness and high loyalty, but the small reader base means that it is difficult for such works to become the super popular works of Long Kingdom.
As for Chu Yu, his ambition to have a cartoonist system is definitely not limited to the current level.
In Xuangui, and even with the magic capital, Long Guo has a huge reputation is his goal.
In the future, when Longguo manga fans mentioned the famous cartoonist of Longguo, the first person who thought of him was Chu Yu, and this was the goal that Chu Yu wanted to work hard for.
But it is obvious that although the work of Natsume's Book of Friends is excellent, its potential is still a little short of Chu Yu's goal.
After two days?
Chu Yu's eyes flickered.
At that time, after these things have been dealt with, let's think about the new work!
