Chapter 279 Release Date

At the same time that Chu Yu and Li Xi went to T-bone animation company to meet Xia Yin, the news about the latest issue of Initial D reaching the top of the Shuiyuan journal also spread in the magic capital comic industry on this day.

A few weeks ago, Natsume's friend account reached the top of Shuiyuan, and some people in the outside world said that Shuixin only reached the climax of the plot of the work occasionally, so he reached the top of Shuiyuan for a short time.

And after Initial D topped the Shuiyuan journal, these cartoon critics and the media were speechless.

Two comics with different styles have reached the top within a few weeks, which is more convincing than Chu Yu's continued domination of the first place by relying on a single work.

This shows that Chu Yu did not rely on luck and clever use of subject matter to achieve such results, but he did have such talent. Even if he painted two works of different styles, he was still able to win from the fierce competition. Edge journals stand out.

In this regard, the most excited people are Chu Yu's comic fans.

Many of them have been following Chu Yu since he was still in Luosheng, watching how Chu Yu was with his own eyes. After that, the momentum continued unabated, and finally reached the top of the water edge.

And the two works have reached the top one after another, which also means that as long as the plots of the two works do not die and their popularity plummets, then Chu Yu has steadily entered the ranks of the top cartoonists in the Dragon Kingdom.

Before Zhou Qin, the former overlord of Shuiyuan Periodicals, finished his works, the only people who could hold the title of comic book writers in Shuiyuan Periodicals were him and Tang Xin.

Now, Zhou Qin originally said that after finishing his work, he would start a new one in a few months, but in fact, the cartoonist's mouth is really a liar. It is said that the guy is still traveling abroad and has not returned to China at all. The idea of ​​​​opening a new work.

However, the stability of Chu Yu's current position has made the hearts of the senior members of Xuangui a lot more stable.

After all, although the sales volume of Shuiyuan has always been in the middle ranks in the seven majors of the magic capital, after Zhou Qin finished his works, among the active serial cartoonists, only Tang Xin is the only one who has enough weight. There are basically two or three cartoonists of the same level in the seven other six companies, and even Tianji and Shui Hedgehog have six or seven cartoonists each.

Now Chu Yu's strength is gradually recognized by the mainstream comics industry, and the influence of his works has gradually expanded over time, and finally he has grown to the status of a first-line comic artist. If Zhou Qin returns to the water with a new work, it will be very For a long time, the status of Xuangui Comics in the magic capital comics industry will become very stable, and maybe there will be a new round of growth in the sales of periodicals.

However, although Chu Yu's fans are happy and happy, they are also puzzled after they are happy.

Let's not talk about Natsume's friend account for the time being, but after the initial D has defeated the big boss Takahashi Ryosuke in the whole article, how to draw the next plot?

Obviously, the mountain races in the Gunma area are powerful, from Myogi's Nakasato Takeshi and Shingo, to Usui's Mako and Shayuki, and then to Akagi's REDSUNS, all the famous drivers were pressed and rubbed on the ground by Fujiwara Takumi. .

Then if the work wants to continue serialization, it can only spread the map from the Gunma area.

Although such a plot trend is unavoidable, in the initial D, Fujiwara Takumi's attributes of Qiu Mingshan 86 are too strong, and there are many fans who do not want Fujiwara Takumi to leave Qiu Mingshan.

In the end, they only comforted themselves with the excuse of believing in Teacher Shui Xin's strength, and they had no idea that Chu Yu was thinking about ending the account of Initial D and Natsume's friends.

After all, the buffer time proposed by Chu Yu is half a year, which means that if Xuan Gui wants to stop Chu Yu's decision, the next three months are crucial.

After all, two works of this level, like Initial D and Natsume's Book of Friends, should be released three months in advance if they are determined to be finished, so that fans can be mentally prepared. The first issue is over. Fans who are fragile at heart will definitely want to fry the pot.

But in this regard, the headache is that Liu Ling, who will be the editor-in-chief of Xuangui Comics, should have a headache.

On the other hand, Chu Yu, at the request of Li Xi, once again came to the temporary sales point renovated in a certain convention center on Wednesday this week to hold a comic release meeting with initial D.

Chu Yu, who already had the previous experience, although he was already prepared, but when he arrived at the scene, he was still shocked by the number of fans who were stopped by the security guards in front.

At first glance, at least hundreds of people have entered the venue, but at the entrance, there is still a long queue to go out, and I don't know how many people will eventually participate in the signing party.

"How come there are so many people! There are a lot more people than the last Natsume Friends Book signing meeting." Chu Yu looked at Li Xi beside him, and felt a little wanting to run away.

"Of course!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"You are not the same as when the Natsume Friends Book manga was released last year! Two years ago, you were just a well-known cartoonist in Modu. Last year, you could only be called Modu comics in Modu. A rising star in the world, enough to meet the standards of second-tier cartoonists, and this year."

"You have grown into a top-tier comic in the magic capital with the two works of Natsume's Book of Friends and Initial D, and your influence in the Dragon Country comics should have surpassed that of Tang Xin, even in all the big comics companies like Xuangui. Among the cartoonists, your status is only a little worse than that of Zhou Qin, after all, he has been famous for many years, and his last work, Crimson Abyss, has a great influence in the Dragon Kingdom."

"You are no longer a nobody in the Dragon Country comics world. You are now a benchmark in the hearts of young cartoonists in the Dragon Country comics industry. I don't know how many new-generation cartoonists from all over the Dragon Country have heard of you from Los Angeles. In an underdeveloped province, after being trapped by the local comic club, he left the magic capital and came to Xuangui Comics Company. After going through difficulties and obstacles, he was moved by the story of finally becoming a top comic artist in the Shuiyuan magazine.”

"It's a matter of course that so many people come when you hold a signing party. Is it strange?" Li Xi asked rhetorically.

Chu Yu's expression was a little weird when he heard that.

Is it that my career as a cartoonist seems so inspiring in the eyes of others?

Why do I feel that I have no experience of going through hardships and dangers, isn't it just laying out comic paper and copying it, why is my image so bright and majestic in the eyes of others?

"Okay, the time is up, your task today is not to sign a single book of initial D for all the fans present"

Li Xi's words made Chu Yu happy for a while, but then her words immediately made Chu Yu feel cold.

"According to experience, as a cartoonist of your level, it is impossible to meet the signing requirements of so many fans. After all, people will only gather more and more. The scheduled plan of this event is, From nine o'clock in the morning now, you can use all your energy, continue to sign until five o'clock in the afternoon to end today's event, and we will prepare lunch for you."

After speaking, Li Xi walked away.

Chu Yu was about to say something, but after the security guards let the fans in the queue come over, a middle-aged male fan wearing a white T-shirt with "Fujiwara とラふ shop" and an AE86 body came over. He looked at Chu Yu excitedly.

"Mr. Shui Xin, I've been queuing here since four o'clock in the middle of the night, just to be the first fan of your initial D single-volume book release and autograph, can you sign the first page of the single-volume book for the sake of my hard work?" Shui Xin wishes Zhang Li a happy birthday! "Zhang Li is my wife, she is also a fan of Initial D, and a fan of Natsume's friends account. Tomorrow is her birthday"

Chu Yu sighed, not thinking about the things that ended at five o'clock in the afternoon, took a deep breath and started today's battle.
