Chapter 280

In the evening, Chu Yu and Li Xi were having dinner in a restaurant.

Li Xi also served Chu Yu properly, otherwise Chu Yu would be too pitiful, and the signature sign was sore and weak, so he ate there with a spoon.

"It's so tiring! Don't arrange this kind of activity for Li Xi next time. I'd rather go to draw cartoons for a whole day without being so tired."

Chu Yu had said this to Li Xi no less than ten times today, but looking at her expression, Chu Yu himself felt that there was no drama.

"By the way, Chu Yu, I have something to tell you." Li Xi said after seeing that Chu Yu had almost eaten.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yu asked.

"The editor-in-chief of Xuangui is going to be replaced"

"Oh! Change it! Anyway, I don't go to Xuangui several times a year, and I have pushed the invitation to the annual meeting for two consecutive years. I don't know many people inside Xuangui, and it has nothing to do with me when it changes its editor-in-chief. , just don't change the editor!" Chu Yu said indifferently.

"The inside of Xuan Gui knows why you came to the Magic Capital from Luo Province in the first place. They dare not change me at will." Li Xi said softly.

"But things are not as simple as you said. At least the newly appointed editor-in-chief is not as talkative as editor-in-chief Deng. If she takes office, your idea of ​​ending Natsume's friend account and Initial D will not be so easy to achieve. ."

"If I understand my contract with Xuangui correctly, I have the right to finish my work on my own right!" Chu Yu looked up at Li Xi.

"That's right." Li Xi said.

"Then that's fine." Chu Yu lowered his head and continued to eat.

"But the new editor-in-chief who is about to take office has said in public that he will resolutely stop you from completing the two works. He also asked me to persuade you to change your mind." Li Xi looked at Chu Yu and said seriously.

"So... are you here today to talk to me about this?" Chu Yu frowned.

"Forget it, Li Xi, I have already told you my thoughts. I don't want to waste too much time on this meaningless thing."

"No, I'm not here to persuade you." Li Xi said with a rare smile.

"Although she asked me to persuade you, but...she has not yet taken office and is officially the editor-in-chief, I am not obliged to obey her orders."

"I just told you that there is such a person in Xuangui now, and this person has such a request for you, this is my obligation as your editor, but in the end, what will your career as a cartoonist be like? Go on, you are the only one who can decide."

"But." Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Although based on your current status, there is no need to be afraid of the editor-in-chief of Xuangui, but after all, you are ready to finish two big fire comics as soon as she takes office. For her, it is indeed sufficient for her work performance. The reason to stop you. So if you want to have a good relationship with her, you can also properly consider her situation and delay the completion date of the two works.”

"What's there to consider?" Chu Yu looked at Li Xi.

"I don't know her, why should I consider her situation and disrupt my plan? If you, Li Xi, are the editor-in-chief, I will consider this proposal. If she is, forget it. The content of my cooperation with Xuangui The main thing is how to better spread my comics, so that the two sides can achieve a win-win situation, rather than come to Xuangui to engage in interpersonal relationships."

Chu Yu's tone of voice was the same as before, but his meaning had been clearly conveyed.

This guy has never changed, he still has this temper.

Li Xi also nodded. She didn't think that Chu Yu would be the one who could consider the pros and cons. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had a falling out with her previous comic company and ran to the Magic Capital. Anyway, she was just analyzing the situation. Give Chu Yu a word, since Chu Yu made such a choice, she will not say more.

However, at the end, she reminded Chu Yu a little.

"If you are sure to finish the two works of Initial D and Natsume's Book of Friends within half a year, as an editor, I also respect your opinion, but, Chu Yu, you must think clearly, if your new work is not up to the grade and quality. If you get to the level of these two works, then you will face a lot of pressure.”

"Not only the pressure from Xuangui, but also the pressure from fans and many media in Longguo, the public opinion impact you will face at that time will be very large. Before Dalongguo, many cartoonists have finished their old works. , but the results of the new work are not as good as the fans, and there are not a few people who quit the circle in the end when they are disheartened."

"Understood." Chu Yu nodded.

The two did not continue to talk on this topic, and went home after dinner.

In the days that followed, Chu Yu also gradually got busy. In addition to completing the comic creation on a daily basis, he also went to T-bone animation company on weekends to be the director of Initial D animation production.

Of course, Chu Yu also pulled out the original bgm of Initial D at the right time. After all, the original Initial D animation, although the picture is a little old, but the quality of the animation soundtrack can not be said.

Whether it's the brisk "Take Me Higher" after Takumi won the game, the classic ed "Rage Your Dream", or the episode "Wings of fire" during the final battle with Michizane Ubibing, and Chu Yu's own feelings The super-sense divine comedy "stay". The animated version of the initial D is really of super high quality.

Of course, Chu Yu didn't provide it to the T-bone animation production company for free. Although Chu Yu couldn't look down on the hundreds of thousands of song royalties, he still had to collect the money that should be charged.

Therefore, after Xia Yin's animation production team received Chu Yu's music gift package, many people fell silent.

They once again remembered the rumor circulating in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry

As long as it's an animation changed by Shui Xin's work, Shui Xin can always find great soundtracks from all kinds of horns, but when I asked him where these soundtracks came from, he answered that it was from his various friends who played music. Bought.

But with such a level of music creators, how could they be unknown in the Dragon Kingdom?

Therefore, many people are speculating whether the soundtracks that Shui Xin took out were actually created by him, and when she came to Xia Yin, she always felt that if this guess was correct, then this young man who was a few years younger than her would be too. terrible.

In the comics industry, he is already a big guy. In the animation industry, the work of screenwriters and investors seems to be doing well. If he has such a strong talent in music, if he integrates his skills, I feel One person can make an animation.

Under such circumstances, one week has passed, and the first-week sales of the single-line book with initial D also came out.

The average weekly sales volume reached 700,000 copies, and the total sales volume of the first three volumes reached nearly 2.3 million copies.

There is no doubt that this sales volume is the sales champion of the newly released single volume of Longguo Comics last week, and the comics that lead the second place are many tenths.

According to this trend, the sales volume of at least two million volumes must be stable. You must know that this is a single volume of a comic book that has not been animated yet. Tang Xin's dream world is now a single volume with the blessing of animation. The sales volume is only more than 2.3 million copies.

If you wait until the initial D animation is broadcast, the sales of this work will definitely increase, but it depends on the taste and quality of Longguo animation fans.

And the sales results of this single book directly make Chu Yu's position in the comics industry completely stable. Even the most demanding comic media and comic critics will not take Chu Yu's age and the results of the single book are not up to standard. .

And the animation production team of the magical girl Madoka not far from Chu Yu's house.

The animation industry practitioners who have joined the team one after another have gradually understood what kind of work they are going to make.

At the same time, they also felt Shui Xin's deep malice towards fans.

As for the magical girl theme, you can make these plots out of animations of this theme, and it really deserves to be a warrior of love.

And Huang Ming, with the progress of animation production, has also become full of many.

For a time, in the animation world of Magic Capital, everyone suddenly felt that the name of Shuixin, which had frequently appeared in their ears in the past two years, gradually appeared less frequently.

Under such circumstances, at the end of June, an unexpected guest suddenly came to Chu Yu's house.

A woman brought by Li Xi, some aged women.

"Hello, I'm Liu Ling, who will take up the post of editor-in-chief of Xuangui Comics next month!"

As soon as the woman entered the door, she reported her identity, and her eyes kept examining Chu Yu's residence and Chu Yu himself.

Chu Yu sighed without showing any trace, why are these people so idle?

He had already talked to the people sent by Xuangui so many times about his idea of ​​finishing the two works, and he didn't know why the woman had to come to the door in person.

Chu Yu has made it clear to those who came before that no matter who comes, his decision will not change.

"Hello, I'm Chu Yu." Chu Yu responded to the woman.

"You must have guessed your intentions for me, Chu Yu! Then I won't give a shit." Liu Ling's eyes narrowed and she said with a smile.

"You should be able to guess the purpose of my coming here, or that matter, I hope you can withdraw your decision to complete Natsume's friend account and Initial D within five months?"

Indeed it is.

When Chu Yu heard the words, he said it very directly.

"I've answered this question many times, but I can't do it!"

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

When Liu Ling used to be in the operation department of Xuangui, she said no one, but few people rejected her with such a tough attitude.

"Even if I, the editor-in-chief of Xuangui, came to ask you to withdraw your decision in person?" Liu Ling looked at Chu Yu and asked.

"no!"

Chu Yu's speech has always been so straightforward, but Liu Ling sounded a little uncomfortable.

"Can I hear the reason why you must finish these two works, Chu Yu?" Liu Ling took a deep breath and asked.

"I think it's time for them to end! So it's over." Chu Yu responded.

Chu Yu wasn't going to talk to her about anything, so she didn't have any language problems.

"But I don't think it's time for these two works to end." Liu Ling looked at Chu Yu and said.

You feel?

Chu Yu frowned.

What do you think is my business?

"I am the author of these two works. I think they should be finished and they can be finished. I only use other people's ideas as a reference, and I am not obliged to adopt them." Chu Yu still held back and did not attack.

"However, I think that as the editor-in-chief of Xuangui Comics, my words should have a certain weight! Chu Yu, you should consider my proposal carefully, after all, I am ready to give Natsume's friends account and head after taking office next month. Text D, and the three works of Dream World will conduct a new round of publicity, and mainly promote the character design of you and Tang Xin's genius cartoonist"

"okay!"

Chu Yu was too lazy to continue talking with such a non-speculative person. He had already rejected so many people she sent, and she still bothered him. Chu Yu's patience was not so good.

"You won't be the editor-in-chief of Xuan Gui until next month. Now, not yet, and I'm going to draw comics, so I may not have time to chat with you here."

Chu Yu pointed to the door of the house and looked at Liu Ling, the meaning was very clear.
