Chapter 357 Progress

In January 2023, a lot of things happened to Chu Yu.

I went to Japan for a trip, and came back with a girlfriend. On the third day after I came back, the two works of Initial D and Natsume's Book of Friends were officially completed.

The ending of Natsume's Book of Friends has an open ending. After all, the original work is not finished yet, and Chu Yu has left a suspense. If the true ending of the parallel world comes out in the future, you can make a supplementary story on the Dragon Kingdom plane. Above, although Chu Yu and Xuan Gui broke up, as a commercial company, as long as there are things of interest, they will never refuse. Chu Yu believes that if he ever proposes Xuan Gui, he will never refuse. So far, the serialization time is two years. Many, the Natsume Friends Book of 119 chapters ends in this world.

And Chu Yu's other work, Initial D, has been serialized for one and a half years. There are a total of 83 episodes serialized in this world. For the ending of Initial D, Chu Yu himself made a small adaptation, or it is not a small adaptation, right? It is purely to draw the ending of another initial D version in the system space, that is, the ending of the movie version of Jay Chou, into the comic ending of initial D in this world.

In the ending, Tuohai didn't choose to forgive Xia Shu after learning about his girlfriend's real situation. After finally upgrading the engine of his 86, he took the initiative to challenge Jingyi of the Imperial Racing Team. After washing away the shame of his defeat, he agreed. Takahashi Ryosuke's invitation to form a team.

The last scene of the comic was frozen at the moment when 86 went up the mountain.

The story of Fujiwara Takumi is not over, but the manga with Initial D is over.

Fans of this issue of Chu Yu comics, when they saw the three big characters on the last page of the two comics in the new issue of Shuiyuan, felt very uncomfortable, and some people even had tears in their eyes. Feel.

And under Chu Yu's Weibo, there were no quarrels and mutual sprays on this day, and the screen was all "finishing flowers".

There are also posts about building buildings for two works, and more and more people are participating, and soon the three keywords of Shuixin, Initial D, and Natsume Friends Account are on the top 20 of Weibo's hot search.

With the influence of Natsume's friend account and the end of the initial D, the hot search word about jojo's bizarre adventure in the Weibo hot search also skyrocketed, and it was topped on the hot search list.

At the same time, "Wind Lan Comics", a secondary journal of Tianji Comics, has also become a hot search term on Weibo.

It's no wonder that after the serialization of Natsume's Book of Friends and Initial D, Chu Yu's popularity in the Dragon Kingdom comics world has grown, although he and Tianji Comics have both published that Chu Yu serialized "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" on Fenglan Comics this time. The prequel, the main part of this comic will be published in its popular journal "Xuanjing" after the prequel serialization ends, but Chu Yu's fans don't care so much, although they have this work in their hearts, they may not. It's too good-looking and mentally prepared, but if it's not good-looking, it's not good-looking, and it's also Shuixin's work, anyway, just watch it.

Fans have a kind of blind trust in Chu Yu, which makes the cartoonists who originally serialized their works on Fenglan Comics feel a lot of pressure.

This group of people is a group of ordinary cartoonists in the Dragon Kingdom, with average talent and no strength. They are just living in the pond of Fenglan Comics. This inexplicable mystery dug up a great god, and then smashed people into this pool. inside.

The employees of other big companies in the Longguo comics industry have the attitude of eating melons and watching dramas.

After experiencing all kinds of slaps in the face, the commentators in the Longguo comics industry did not easily comment on Shui Xin's comics. Although this time it was himself, Tianji and Xuangui both broke the news that this "Jojo prequel" may not be of good quality, but Who knows the real situation?

Didn't Natsume Friends Book and Initial D say the same when they first came out? What happened to the last two works?

At the end of Natsume Friend's Account, the single-volume book will be published in the tenth volume, with an average score of 2.25 million volumes, and the initial D single-volume book will be published in the seventh volume, with an average volume sales of 2.4 million copies, and the animation is currently on air, Sales are still on the rise.

Anyway, many people don't believe that Shui Xin's work will be so bad? The quality is really not good. Will Shuixin make any prequels to this work?

With this thought in mind, industry insiders and Chu Yu's comic fans have inexplicable expectations for jojo's work.

And in this January, system rewards for Magical Girl Madoka were also distributed.

But there is one thing that is different from what Chu Yu guessed, that is, for the 2022 animation of the year, which the magical girl Madoka obtained, the reward given by the system is not only an S-level lottery chance, but an S-level lottery chance and an A-level lottery chance. Sweepstakes chance.

At that time, Chu Yu was a little shocked. The system that has always been stingy was so generous this time, which made him really unexpected.

However, after carefully reading the explanation of the reward distribution, Chu Yu was relieved. It turned out that the colleague who won the annual popular animation title of Magical Girl also won the title of winter popular animation, so the system gave another A-level lottery chance. .

But no matter what, the rewards he got were real. Now, with the remaining A-level lottery chance, Chu Yu now has one S-level and two A-level lottery chances.

In an instant, Chu Yu's mood was relaxed, and he no longer worried about whether jojo's work would be thrown. Even if he was thrown, he would still have enough chances to draw.

For the rest of January, Chu Yu and his animation team started to get busy again. Huang Ming and the people from the animation studio worked overtime every day to rush the production of the Magical Girl Little Circle and the rebellious Lelouch animation.

Chu Yu, on the other hand, plunged into the comic drawing of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

After all, Chu Yu took the initiative to negotiate with Tianji, and the result was to serialize two episodes of jojo in a week. From this point of view, not to mention the third jojo star fighter, only one or two prequels of this work that were packaged by Chu Yu will be serialized for half a year. around time.

Now that Chu Yu has won several new lottery opportunities, Chu Yu suddenly felt a lot of pressure and felt that he could no longer be leisurely, otherwise his speed of drawing comics would be compared with the speed of reward distribution by this stingy system.

Of course, it's not that Chu Yu didn't think about whether to extract one or two more comic works and put them on Tianji for serialization, but after thinking about it, Chu Yu gave up the idea for the time being.

After all, in February after January, Chu Yu has to participate in the production of two animations, and draw two more comics every week. Although it is not impossible to draw one or two more works, Chu Yu will become a job. Maniac, there is no spare time at all.

He didn't want to make himself so tired, after all, he was considered to have a girlfriend, and he always had to spend time with Gu Yan, so he couldn't really become a systematic robot worker.

But speaking of Gu Yan, after establishing a relationship with Chu Yu, she ran to Chu Yu's place very diligently. Her school is very close to Chu Yu's place, and it only takes ten minutes to walk, so whenever there is no class or time, she will He ran over to Chu Yu and stayed here. If he had plenty of time, he would even cook and cook, so that Chu Yu could be freed from the routine of taking out.

At the same time, the editor in charge of Chu Yu's new comics in Tianji Comics also officially met with him.

He was a man in his thirties, named Zhang Jing, with a lively personality and a chatterbox, but this kind of thing didn't matter to Chu Yu.

Many cartoonists actually discuss the plots of their works with the comic editors. The author is responsible for the general direction of the plot, the editor adds comments, thinks about the commerciality of the work and controls the market trend.

But for Chu Yu, he must have nothing to talk about with the editors, which also made Zhang Jing feel very unfulfilled, but this kind of thing will get used to it after a long time.

In this case, soon, the Spring Festival of 2023 will also come.

As usual, Chu Yu didn't go home for the New Year. After all, there was no one at home, so he wouldn't have to go on that plane.

Gu Yan, on the other hand, went straight back to her hometown, and before leaving, she asked Chu Yu if she had any idea of ​​going to her home.

However, Chu Yu felt that it was too embarrassing, and the two of them had not been dating for a long time, and they had not developed to the point of meeting their parents, so they decisively rejected Gu Yan's proposal.

But time flies, and soon January will pass.

At the beginning of February, Chu Yu's new comics were also officially published in Fenglan Comics, a secondary journal of Tianji Comics.

To be honest. The market reaction and Chu Yu guessed right.

Needless to say, the popularity of his works, in this comic journal, no cartoonist can match the popularity of Chu Yu's own fans.

But jojo's external comments are directly exploded.
