Chapter 316 Talk and Decision

A few days after the seventh episode aired, Chu Yu finally sorted out his thoughts and called Li Xi to his home.

In any case, since it was decided to serialize Jojo's manga, it must be right to act as soon as possible.

Chu Yu has carefully watched one or two of Jojo's films, but the second one is not bad, mainly the plot of the first one. At that time, he thought that the plot was too old-fashioned!

Good people are really good and pure, and bad people are also pure and bad. The work tells readers from the beginning that this is a battle of good and evil without any complicated plot.

Especially the commentary in the first part made Chu Yu really speechless.

But these things are put aside temporarily. Now it is correct to let this work serialize as soon as possible, otherwise the third part of jojo will not know when the plot will be unlocked.

"So you're going to serialize the prequel of this comic before your new comic is serialized?" Li Xi finally understood what Chu Yu said, frowning.

"That's right!"

"And the work you want to serialize is called jojo. The quality of the prequel is not very good?"

"That's right!"

"What kind of quality can it have?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Well, let me explain first." Chu Yu replied after thinking about it.

"Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, its prequel is mainly divided into two parts. If the total length is serialized in a weekly magazine, it will take at least one year to complete the quality of the second part. I think it is the mid-stream comics on the water edge journal. The level, as for the quality of the comic plot in the first part, I think it should be the level of the half-cut comics in the Shuiyuan journal."

Chu Yu used some skills in his words, not to mention Jojo's Bizarre Adventures one or two, he attributed all the first two to the prequels of the third, so as to show who the main body of this work is.

"A prequel at the waist level." Li Xi's brows furrowed even deeper.

She couldn't imagine that Chu Yu would create such a successful work. After all, in her eyes, Chu Yu had always been a representative of a high-quality comics mass-producing machine.

"That. If the prequel is at this level, what about the main part of the work? What kind of quality can it have?" Li Xi asked Chu Yu, looking at him.

"The quality of the main text should be better than the initial D!" Chu Yu hesitated for two seconds, and finally said.

Although he hasn't seen it yet, at least he can know from the introduction of the relevant works in the system.

The jojo series is definitely a pivotal work in the history of Japanese comics in parallel time and space.

According to the information, the full-time hunters, Naruto, One Piece and other comics with great influence in the different world have settings about combat power and plot, which have been greatly influenced by this work.

Chu Yu believes that this evaluation is not excessive.

As for Li Xi opposite him, his eyes stared at him, his pupils shrinking.

"Isn't it worse than initial D?"

"That's right!"

"Combat works."

"That's right."

"Can you show me the name draft of the main article?"

"I'm sorry Li Xi, I can't do this. Before the prequel is serialized, I don't want to spoil the plot of the main story of jojo to anyone. I hope you understand."

Li Xi looked at Chu Yu's expression, did not see a hint of concession on Chu Yu's face, and sighed.

"Okay, I respect your idea. But there is a question, why is the quality of the prequels so much worse than the main ones? Aren't they all works of the same line that you conceived?" Li Xi asked what she wanted most. question asked.

"Because the prequel was a plot conceived by me when I was in junior high school, the creative ability and other aspects were immature at that time, so the plot was relatively general." Chu Mian said without heartbeat.

"In the past few years of my career as a cartoonist, my abilities in all aspects have been greatly improved. In addition, I kept thinking about the plot of this work, and finally came up with the work of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure!"

"If that's the case, consider improving the quality of the prequel's plot, or give up publishing the prequel's plot and directly serialize the main content?" Li Xi suggested.

"No. It can't be changed. Although the prequel plot is average, it is the embodiment of the core spirit of the whole work. The plot cannot be changed and without the prequel plot, the brilliance of the main story will be greatly reduced, so they are inseparable. of."

"Of course, I won't make it difficult for you." Chu Yu thought for a while, then said.

"Actually, the plot of the prequel doesn't have to be serialized on the Shuiyuan journal. It can also be serialized in other secondary journals under Xuangui. When the serialization of the prequel plot is finished, I will serialize the main story on Shuiyuan. Then the manga club will issue a single book for the prequel, and then those fans who are interested in Jojo's main story can buy a single book and watch the prequel if they want to know more about this work."

"No." Li Xi categorically refused.

"Chu Yu, you are no longer an unknown person. As the backbone cartoonist of Xuan Gui, if your works were serialized in the second-tier journals, do you know how much negative impact it would have on you or Xuan Gui? At that time. The news of Shui Xin Jiang Lang Cai Jin or Xuan Gui wearing small shoes for its big cartoonists must be flying all over the sky, if nothing else, your fans will definitely spray Xuan Gui, and it is very possible to even give up buying Shui Yuan journals directly."

"How about I serialize this work anonymously?" Chu Yu thought about it, what Li Xi said really made sense.

Anyway, the condition given by the system is that he must complete the serialization of jojo part one and two before he can get the third part of jojo.

But the system didn't say what journal he had to serialize Jojo's one or two books in, as long as it was published anyway.

"What's the point of that?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"According to what you said before, your purpose is to make the prequel plot and content of this work as known as possible, so as to pave the way for the main plot, if you serialize this work anonymously, your fans will not Knowing that the prequel of jojo is your work, who will read it, and it will not achieve the purpose of dissemination? That would put the cart before the horse!"

No ah! My purpose is to get jojo one or two published, I don't care about those.

Chu Yu just wanted to say something, but Li Xi stopped him.

"Since you want to do it, then do your best. Although I don't know what the plot of this work is, even if the plot of the prequel is not very ideal, you have to find a way to expand its influence, otherwise you will What is the purpose of serializing the prequel? So not only can you not serialize anonymously, but also strive to serialize this work in the Shuiyuan journal. As long as the main story is as you said, it can have the quality of initial D. Then this work is prequel The serialization problem, I will find a way for you, and I will do my best to make it serialized on the water's edge."

Chu Yu looked at Li Xi's upright face and was stunned for a while.

"Do you believe me so? You never thought that if jojo's work is not only unpleasant for the prequel, but also unacceptable to the fans for the main story. In that case, your performance in Xuangui will definitely be affected. Bar!"

"You and I have been tied to a boat for a long time!" Li Xi said calmly.

"Besides, with your current influence and status in the comics industry, it's nothing to do with one or two works! Many cartoonists in Long Kingdom have created more than a dozen comics in their lifetime, and only one or two works will be remembered by others. It's all boring works, and I haven't seen anyone being sprayed!"

"Even if the work of jojo as you said is thrown, as long as you can continue to create excellent works in the future, everyone will shut up at that time."

"The main thing is that you don't get hit by the rumors and the words of the sunspots. It's okay to lose confidence."

Having said that, it is almost the same, Li Xi got up.

"No matter what jojo's prequel work is, if you have time to draw its name draft or original draft, I will try my best to make it serialized in the Shuiyuan journal! Also. I am looking forward to the main part of this work."

After speaking, Li Xi left decisively.

Chu Yu closed the door, touched his head, and could only sigh.

Having a good editor like Li Xi really saves a lot of trouble.
