Chapter 44 Climbing to the Top
In a very short period of time, the editor-in-chief of Cuttlefish Comics' selection method about the number of entries for the Dragon Star Award has spread throughout the industry.
For the battle between Manying and several works in the last two months of this year, not to mention people from other comics clubs, even the people inside Cuttlefish are a little dumbfounded.
At the beginning, everyone thought that Dong Yun deserves to be Dong Yun, and the new work is so fierce that Mr. Shen Xin probably won't be able to hold on for a long time before giving up the first position.
But after a few weeks, everyone looked back and found that the real dark horse was still to come.
Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Piece, although everyone gave it a very high evaluation during the serialization meeting, but no one could have imagined that once this work was serialized, the momentum was so fierce.
From the eleventh to the third place in Manying, this work only took five words.
And how long does it take to go from third to first in serial?
two weeks?
three weeks?
Or, just today?
Although Song Jiayu has been very calm at work these days, some cuttlefish employees who went to Song Jiayu's office to report for work could tell from the cigarette butts in his office trash can and the strong smell of smoke in the air that Song Jiayu was in a very irritable mood.
He could feel the anxiety of the situation himself.
If it continues like this, the number of entries for the Dragon Star Award will be gone, and the secret girl's dream of reaching the top will also be gone.
But he had no choice.
He has used the greatest strength in the work of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, giving it a cold shoulder in terms of publicity resources and typography.
In the entire Ming City, buses, subway stations, comic exhibitions, bookstores, among all the propaganda resources that cuttlefish spends money, the hidden girl definitely got the best resources.
This is also an important factor for the hidden girl to be able to push the magic realm to a desperate situation in just a few episodes.
On the other hand, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance not only does not even have basic publicity for the new serialization conventions on Man Ying, but also the characters on the cover of the comics, under Song Jiayu's suggestion, after so many issues, this work has not even shown a single character.
But even so, this work can actually be killed, what can Song Jiayu do?
Originally, according to Song Jiayu's vision, with the development momentum of the hidden girl, in a week or two, it would be a sure thing that the popularity vote surpassed the magic realm. At that time, the qualifications for the Dragon Star Award would not be within reach.
But the birth of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance seems to have been designed to make the work of Hidden Girl difficult from the very beginning.
In the serialization meeting, he lost to the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, and now, at a critical period when the secret girl is about to reach the top, this work has appeared again.
And it is in the critical period of competing for the qualification of the Dragon Star Award.
Song Jiayu was really disgusted by this work for a while.
Song Jiayu looked at the time, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Immediately, the voting results of this issue will also be released. After the voting results of this issue come out, it is very likely that there will be new comics reaching the top of Manying.
Is it the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance that reached the top, or the Hidden Girl wins, or is it the success of this issue of Demon Realm?
Many editors of the Cuttlefish Comics, although it has nothing to do with them, still pay attention to this matter.
After all, although there are many people who flatter Song Jiayu in the comics club, there are also many people who want to see him make a fool of himself.
Although these people did not suffer as badly as Su Yan, Song Jiayu gave them a lot of anger.
Soon, the SMS of Manying Popularity Voting Rank, which was automatically sent out by Moyu's voting system, was sent to the mobile phones of Moying's editors at this moment.
Su Yan at Chu Yu's house, Song Jiayu who was smoking a suffocating cigarette in the office after work, Pang Feng, editor-in-chief, and the editors of the Cuttlefish Comics Club, all received this text message at the same time on their mobile phones.
"How is it?" Chu Yu asked.
There was no joy, anger, sorrow or joy on Su Yan's beautiful face, but her eyes became dull the moment she saw the text message.
Soon, her breathing quickened.
Seeing Su Yan like this, Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin almost guessed what the result was.
Although both of them had a hunch about this result, but things really developed as imagined, and they still couldn't calm down in their hearts.
"Have you reached the top?" Chu Yu asked.
Su Yan took a deep breath and looked at Chu Yu.
"Um!"
The short word seemed to be an understatement, but the vibrato of her voice told Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin that she was not at peace.
Su Yan sent a text message to Chu and Yu to watch.
The first thing that catches their eyes is the first few lines of the text message.
First place, Rurouni Kenshin Memories, 42,472 votes.
Second place, Hidden Girl, 38,966 votes.
The third place, Demon Realm, received 38,456 votes.
forty thousand
Just the number of votes made Zhao Qinyin a little stunned.
Cuttlefish's historical record of popularity votes is a little more than 39,000 votes. Before today, no work has ever exceeded the 40,000-vote mark.
And this issue of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is not only as simple as winning the first popularity vote, but at the same time, it also refreshed the previous popularity voting record of Cuttlefish Comics.
For Zhao Qinyin and Su Yan, it was like a dream to achieve such results in the comic works they participated in.
Especially for Su Yan, the significance of this work reaching the top not only made her feel bad.
The viciousness that has been suppressed by Song Jiayu in the past few months is even more fierce. After all, this work of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance only got the opportunity to be serialized in Manying after stepping on the secret girl in charge of Song Jiayu, and now, it is even more so. At the critical moment when the secret girl was competing for the first place in the voting, she reached the top first and squeezed her to the second place.
The fact that Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance has reached the top also means that in the four weeks of January, Chu Yu is already in an absolute dominant position in the battle for the qualification of the Dragon Star Award among the three comics.
At the same time when Chu Yu learned about the results.
In his mind, a mechanical voice sounded.
"Congratulations to the host, unlocking the achievement of Manying, a journal under Cuttlefish, and rewarding a B-level lottery chance."
This sound. System?
B-level lottery chance?
what is that?
Chu Yu was a little puzzled.
But he did not immediately explore what it was. After all, it required his consciousness to be immersed in the system space. At this time, Zhao Qinyin and Su Yan were still there. If he did that, it would be in the eyes of Zhao Qinyin and Su Yan. , he is no different from being stupid.
"Go!" Su Yan suddenly stood up.
"What?" Chu and Yu looked at her suspiciously.
"where to?"
"Celebrate the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter reaching the top of the movie, let's go out and celebrate."
"What about work?"
"What kind of job! Don't you guys have winter vacation in a few days? Are you afraid that you won't be able to finish drawing cartoons during such a long vacation?"
"Oops, don't fuss!" Su Yan didn't give the two of them time to think.
Pushing and pulling the two took them out of Chu Yu's house and drove to a KTV.
I ordered a bunch of wine, took the microphone and started singing to myself.
At Chu Yu's house, she wanted to shout it out loud, but out of adult restraint, she held back.
Now, coming here, no matter how loud she wants to vent, it won't affect others.
It's a pity that Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin came here with her and listened to her soul song the whole time. Later, they got bored and played cards and drank.
As a result, it goes without saying that Chu Yu didn't even remember how he got home.
(It's a bit late for get off work tonight and Kavin, that's all for this chapter.)
