Chapter 377 Situation One
Time flies, and soon, April has passed, and the magic capital will usher in a hotter May.
In the blink of an eye, jojo's bizarre adventure manga has been serialized for three months, and the rebellious Lelouch has also been on the air for a month.
Up to now, Chu Yu's fans have basically accepted the reality that Chu Yu is now focusing on animation.
After all, Chu Yu's comics are only tepid, and it is jojo serialized in Fenglan Comics, a secondary journal of Tianji Comics.
In terms of animation, not to mention the popular and rebellious Lelouch, which will be broadcast in the fall, and the upcoming White Album 2 and Miss Kaguya Wants Me to Confess.
This makes those loyal comic fans who have always liked Chu Yu a little uncomfortable. Although Chu Yu's animations are very interesting, they still hope that Chu Yu will pay more attention to comics. Compared with Chu Yu's prosperous in the animation industry, they I also hope that Chu Yu's influence in the comics industry will become more prosperous.
Nowadays, the popularity of Ye Chun's new comic Shadow Sword, dug up by Xuangui Comics, has been steadily rising, and it is basically ranked in the top three in popularity in the Water Edge magazine. the first.
Although this achievement is related to Xuan Gui's propaganda efforts that were twice as strong as supporting Chu Yu at the beginning, it can also be seen that Ye Chun is indeed a very capable cartoonist.
If there is no Chu Yu in the Longguo cartoon circle, perhaps the most powerful person among the young cartoonists of Longguo would be him, Tang Xin, Tan Zheng of the Water Hedgehog and several others.
But now, after April has passed, because of a certain incident, the name of the first young cartoonist in Longguo has basically been determined. It is Chu Yu.
This is not someone who is qualified to judge, it is completely judged by looking at the cartoon scores of these people.
Among them, the most important indicator is the sales data of comic books.
And the reason why Chu Yu can be worthy of this title is entirely because of his excellent performance in comics.
In the famous young comics under the age of 30 in Longguo, the sales data of their comics are basically below 3 million per volume.
For example, Tang Xin's Dream World has been serialized for four or five years, and the average score has only reached 2.65 million volumes. It has been maintained at this data for more than a year, and there is no upward trend. , and there is no downward trend. After the new single book is released, it will drop for a while, but it will return to this range after a long time. From experience, this work will most likely maintain this achievement and finish this. works.
The sales performance of Ye Chun's previous work "Guangwei" is similar to that of Tang Xin's Dream World, even a little worse. It has been completed for several months now, and the average sales volume of the single volume is only 2.61 million. , and basically there won't be much room for improvement.
Then there is Tan Zheng, a 26-year-old cartoonist from the Water Hedgehog. His best-selling work, Magic Heart, has an average sales volume of 2.57 million.
As for Longguo, although there are several other cartoonists under the age of 30 who have sold more than 2 million comics in a single volume, they are not as good as the above three, let alone.
Originally, before the initial D animation was broadcast, the pattern of cartoonists of the younger generation in Longguo was like this, and Chu Yu also belonged to the top cartoonists of the younger generation, but after the New Year, the situation completely changed.
Affected by the broadcast of Initial D's animation, the sales of Initial D's comics have risen sharply, far exceeding the expectations of Xuan Gui and the outside world.
In just a few months of the animation, the initial D has become popular in the entire animation circle, and a group of new animation fans have entered the pit one after another. , a group of Tuohai little fans and little fans on the Internet are also born at a fast speed!
Judging from this trend, the initial D is the kind of rare comic book, and animation is even hotter.
There are very few such works. Most of the comic works are adapted animations and the popularity of the comics is equal. Even if the animation is modified, it will only increase the sales of the comics to a certain extent, and the animation results may not be very popular. . What's more, the original comics are very popular, and there are many examples of big fights after the adaptation of animation.
However, like the initial D, the popularity of comics can only be said to barely reach the top ranks of the Dragon Kingdom, but there are too few examples of animation popularity taking off directly.
Affected by the animation, the sales volume of the comic book with Initial D has directly exceeded the 3 million mark, and now it has reached an average sales volume of 3.08 million, and it is still showing an upward trend.
After Initial D Comics achieved this result in April, Chu Yu has also become the only comic artist in Longguo comics under the age of 30 whose single-line volume sales exceeded 3 million. The result directly changed Chu Yu's position in the Dragon Kingdom cartoon industry from the top cartoonist of the young generation of the Dragon Kingdom to Jackie Chan's leading cartoonist of the young generation of the Dragon Kingdom!
This phenomenon directly made those enemies of Chu Yu feel very uncomfortable, such as Ye Chun, and then Liu Ling.
So many months have passed, and now, the comics industry has come to a basic conclusion as to who made and lost who made a profit and who lost when Xuangui and Tianji Comics poached each other's important cartoonists a few months ago.
On the surface, it seems that Xuan Gui has made a profit. After all, Ye Chun's new comic Shadow Sword has far surpassed Shuixin, but in the long run, many people think that Xuan Gui has made a bad move and replaced it with the first-class Ma Chuyu. A medium-sized horse, Ye Chun!
After all, everyone doesn't believe that Shui Xin will be devastated after jojo and will not be able to create other excellent works.
Many people think that this guy, Shui Xin, obviously did not have the ability to create comics, but put too much energy on the animation career. Jojo's flutter should be the result of his own lack of energy to consider so many works.
After entering 2023 and now in May, half of the whole 2023 has passed, and the only animation that can compete with the initial D animation is the magical girl small round theater version of "Rebel Story", which is also written by Chu Yu, and Two works by the rebellious Lelouch.
Of course, the battle here is that of potential rather than actual data being played today.
Among the three works, because the rebellious story has the huge popularity of the magical girl Madoka, although it is only an animation that started in March, it is the best work of the Dragon Kingdom from 2023 to the present. At present, the number of broadcasts on the entire network is as high as 12.3 million.
The second is the initial D. The animation has been broadcast to the 19th episode. The average playback volume of the animation episode is 9.11 million. Although it is lower than the magical girl Madoka, it is still serialized after all. The volume data is still on the rise, and it is not known who will die in the follow-up.
Then there is the rebellious Lulu Xiu, who has been on the air for only one month, and his grades have steadily increased. The average number of episodes has reached 5.3 million. In the summer animation market, Dugu seeks to lose, and the playback data of the second-ranked summer animation is similar to it. More than half of it, its enemy may only be two sibling animations with the same source.
These three works are all original works by Chu Yu, and they are also the three best animations so far in 2023.
Moreover, if this trend continues, the three animations will most likely break through the 10 million mark in terms of the average number of episodes played.
Regarding the achievements of Shui Xin's three works, people in both the animation industry and the comics industry are silent, what else can they do? Who can make a sound? The sound comes from the work!
I thought that Shui Xin's performance in the animation industry last year was his peak, but when I look at it this year, it seems to be the beginning!
In addition, Xia Yin, who was able to wrestle with Shui Xin last year, also served as the producer of Initial D animation this year. The two are considered to be a fit to some extent.
The seniors of Longguo have not heard of any masterpiece animations that will be released for the time being. It is expected that the popular animations produced by various animation companies this year will basically be broadcast in the winter animation market in October. Still far! And even if those so-called popular masterpieces come to meet Initial D, Lelouch and Magical Girl Madoka head-on, it is estimated that these three works will not be the ones who feel guilty.
Coupled with the white album in the water heart plan and Miss Kaguya wants me to confess to two animations
Will this year's animation industry be a solo show for that guy Shui Xin?
Many people remain skeptical in their hearts!
In this situation, the defeat of jojo's comics is no longer the words that no one will say that the water heart is not good. It is obvious that people are mainly focused on the animation industry, so the comics are just messing around. .
Of course, as usual, Chu Yu didn't care much about the evaluation of these names from the outside world. After all, these things could not be rewarded by the system.
After entering May, Chu Yu often called two assistants to work overtime because of the various workaholic mode in the past few months, so although it was only the beginning of May, Chu Yu estimated that it would take two or three weeks at most, jojo He can completely draw the content of the second comic.
When Fenglan Comics fully serializes the content of the second jojo comic in July, the third jojo will be officially born in this world
Chu Yu was very excited about this situation, and he was very passionate about drawing comics in the past two days.
Of course, this is not because he is excited that he will be able to unlock Jojo's third plot in two or three months, but the plot continues like this. If he can finish drawing the content of Jojo's second comic in May, then In the coming June and most of July, he will be extremely relaxed.
After all, there are no classes in school, Huang Ming is fully responsible for animation, and the comics are temporarily completed. He will have more than a month of vacation time. This is the direct reason for his excitement, and he can play with his girlfriend Canyon.
