Chapter 36 Invitation

"hateful!"

In the office, Song Jiayu looked gloomy.

In the past two days in the circle, the words he heard the most were Shuixin, Rurouni Kenshin. When he heard these words, he would think of the woman Su Yan.

Even when he walked into the manga club, he could see several staff members secretly looking at him and laughing.

He could guess what those people were laughing at.

The entire comic book club knew that he, Song Jiayu, could not pursue Su Yu, and he suppressed Su Yu because of love and hatred, and wanted to force the other party to submit.

But the result? For a whole few months, he spent so much effort to suppress Su Yan in the comics club. Instead, Su Yan himself discovered a new monster like Shuixin, all of which made his previous actions look like a joke. .

More importantly, in the work of Rurouni Kenshin, he felt a strong threat.

A newcomer, without any popularity blessing, can get the fourth ranking on Manying just by relying on the serialization of two comics, and get the votes of more than 10,000 people.

In Song Jiayu's view, it is only a matter of time before Dong Yun's secret girl surpasses Moji and Tianshu in terms of popularity.

But what about Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance?

It's really scary. The first issue of the series only had more than 4,000 votes, and the second issue was over 14,000. What about the third and fourth issues?

Will it come from behind?

If someone told the staff of Cuttlefish before that a rookie cartoonist had reached the top of Manying, it would have been a sarcastic laugh.

But now, thinking of this possibility, Song Jiayu not only has no urge to laugh, but has an invisible pressure.

After all, a man from the capital city like him came to Los Angeles, and he didn't come here to play with cuttlefish. The main purpose of his coming here was to add some highlights to his resume.

For example, in the future, after he returned to Magic City, he joined the comics club where his father dedicated his life as an editor. According to his resume, he served as the deputy editor of Cuttlefish, the top comics company in Los Angeles, and served as the top comics in Los Angeles. The editor of the most popular works on the journal Manying is undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.

But if the first on the resume becomes the second, or the third.

Then it doesn't make sense.

People will only remember the first, no one will remember the second, the third.

In that case, he will come to Los Angeles for nothing, and his father will be disappointed with him.

Although his father has a high status in the comics club, his father does not mean that he can cover the sky with one hand. There are also many competitors and opponents. Everything has to be disciplined. He wants to inherit his father from being there. The status, connections, and connections of the comics club. After his father retired, he took the place of his father. At the beginning, he couldn’t lose. If he didn’t get any good results in places like Cuttlefish, he would go back to the magic capital. How could others believe it? his ability?

No, it can't be.

Song Jiayu raised his head.

At this time, he and Su Yan were no longer in the previous battle of willpower.

It's a battle of interests.

"Hey, have you read the new issue of the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs serialized by Man Ying last week?"

"Of course I saw it! MD, Jian Xin Shuai exploded, that action, that swordsmanship."

"Who is talking with you, I mean the woman who appeared last, my new goddess is scheduled."

"Isn't your goddess Xiaoyun sauce? Why, you changed goddesses after that work was over? You are really changeable."

"Shui Xin is really going to be very appetizing. The second chapter ends here. What is the name of the girl who appeared last? What is her identity, and how the next development will develop without revealing anything. It is really appetizing."

"If you can whet your appetite, it means that the author is good at drawing, otherwise, it's not an appetite. If the work is not good-looking, this way, the impatient audience will only abandon the comics, instead of chasing the comics because of their appetite."

"I really want my future boyfriend to be as cool as Kenshin.

"Don't think about it, how can you have a boyfriend?"

"Ha ha."

"But is this work really drawn by the author who painted the Garden of Words? It feels so different! It was a romance manga before, but what is it about now? War, intrigue, blood, love, what elements are there? There's a little bit of it! But, it's really beautiful!"

Like Su Yan, today's Chu Yu felt something different.

Inexplicably, the characters discussed by some anime idiots in the class have changed from other previous comic works. The Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter, even the discussion of Moji and Tianshu in the same journal, as well as the hidden girl, do not have this work. high.

They also wondered why Chu Yu didn't come to join the discussion. After all, Chu Yu was very interested in discussions on similar topics.

In the past, the classmates around him who loved to read comics always gathered together after class to discuss the plot of the hot comics, but one day, when they were discussing the work of Rurouni Kenshin, Chu Yu really realized that the Rogue Kenshin seems to be really on fire.

It only took a week, one word.

Through the platform of Manying, this work quickly spread in Los Angeles, and the speed was astonishing.

Fans gathered spontaneously, and Shuixin’s previous work, The Court of Yan Ye Zhi, was also known by many fans. The Mo Ying periodical that published the Yan Ye Zhi Court can even be sold on the Internet for two or three times the price of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. fans of comics.

In the Chuyu system space, the world points are also growing all the time, it has exceeded 200,000, and the deposit in the bank account is also rising steadily!

At night, at Chu Yu's house.

Chu Yu was a little dazed when he saw the box of letters in front of him.

"Is it all sent to me?"

"That's right." Su Yan said.

"Then what should I do?" Chu Yu looked at the pile of letters.

"Look at it if you want. If you have time, you can reply to it. If you don't want to see it, save it, or find a way to deal with it yourself."

"There may be many such things in the future." Su Yan said.

"By the way, I'm here today to tell you something." Su Yan looked at Chu Yu.

"What, what?" Chu Yu was a little puzzled.

"This is a supplementary agreement. After you sign it, your royalties will change from six hundred per comic page to one thousand per comic page." Su Yan smiled and took out an agreement from his bag.

"This was proposed by the manga club, you don't have to worry about it. After all, the price of 600 per page of comics was only for the standard of ordinary manga artists on Manying. After the voting results last week came out, the manga club naturally also Your remuneration will be adjusted according to your potential."

"It's another salary increase." Chu Yu felt a little numb. It's only been two weeks, and his salary has risen twice in a row.

"Also, the Chinese New Year is almost two months away. At that time, our comics society will hold an annual meeting a year ago. At that time, we will invite key members of major companies that have cooperated with our comics society. The management, the chairman, and the cartoonist think there are enough cartoonists to attend this annual meeting." Su Yan finally said what she wanted to say.

"The editor-in-chief told me today that you are also on the invite list!"

"He asked me to confirm your opinion, are you willing to go!"

"Annual meeting?" Chu Yu looked at the supplementary agreement in front of him.

He wasn't interested in such activities, but he was a little embarrassed if he didn't go.

"Then go!" Chu Yu said cautiously.

"That's fine!" Su Yan smiled.

"Also, when the time comes, you can bring a person with you, your girlfriend, family members, whatever."

"Can you bring one person?" Chu Yu looked at Zhao Qinyin, who had been silent next to him.

Chu Yu understood that the reason why he was invited must be related to the achievements of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. In any case, Zhao Qinyin contributed to the birth of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. A person, the first thing he thought of was Zhao Qinyin.

"Do you want to go?" Chu Yu asked her.

"Ah! Me?" Zhao Qinyin never thought that Chu Yu would ask her.

She definitely wanted to go. After all, as a street cartoonist, she must be able to go to such a place to meet many familiar cartoonists.

But thinking of Su Yan's last sentence, she felt a little embarrassed.

After a long while, she choked out a word.

"go!"

"Okay, then it's settled!" Su Yan nodded.
