Chapter 71

"With your current status in Cuttlefish, such a request shouldn't be a big problem, but it's just another episode in three weeks. Is that enough?"

"I don't think that just one more episode of the series will improve the performance of the Rurouni Kenshin's Memories chapter much," Su Yan said.

To be honest, although Chu Yu has always been talking about competing for the first place, and Su Yan has never said anything against Chu Yu, it is true that

Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance This work really wants to win the Dragon Star Award. Obviously, it is the most likely to be shortlisted in the top ten in the first round of selection, and then fight for a chance in the second round of selection. Method.

Now, although the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is temporarily ranked tenth, with as many as 170,000 fans, it is based on the experience of the first round of selection of the Dragon Star Awards in previous years.

Often the final result of a work can be seen in the first week.

According to experience, the final value of the Dragon Star Award selection fan value can be estimated only by looking at the data at the end of the first week.

Usually two to three times as much by the end of the first week.

Because in the first week of the Dragon Star Awards selection, everyone is more curious, and the fans are also very active, so these works often grow rapidly in popularity when they are aimed at fans across the country.

But after the first week, basically the growth of the fan value will slow down.

Of course, the specific final fan value can reach several times the data in the first week, it all depends on the quality of the work.

Just like Blazing Feather, the No. 1 Dragon Star Award selection, the fan value exceeded 400,000 on the fifth day of the Dragon Star Award selection, although its comic rating is almost a full point lower than the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. However, with a score of 8.8, it is almost certain that when the Dragon Star Award selection ends in three weeks, its fan value will be about three times what it is now.

However, the fan value of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance was only in the early 170,000s. If Chu Yu wanted to surpass Blazing Feather at the end of the first round of selection.

In the next three weeks, the fan value of this work will have to rise by at least one million to have a chance to compete with Blazing Feather for the first place.

In Su Yan's eyes, this is almost impossible.

She optimistically estimated that with the bonus of Rurouni Kenshin's 9.8 rating, coupled with the spontaneous troubles of fans of this work in the past few days, the popularity of the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs has increased.

The final fan value can reach four to five times that of today, that is, between 700,000 and 900,000, which is an ideal development plot.

With such results, it shouldn't be a problem to squeeze into the top five in the first round.

But further up, there's really no way.

"Sister Su, you are wrong. It's just that the fourteenth chapter and the fourteenth and fifteenth chapters are serialized together. In my opinion, there is a big gap."

Chapter 14 only tells about the death of Shedaiba, but the ending of Chapter 15 is only through a picture to let those who watch here understand what her death means to Kenshin.

Although Xuedaiba left Jianxin, she left Jianxin with spiritual support and hope.

and

Although these two episodes have not been drawn yet, Chu Yu knew very well in his heart that if the fourteen and fifteen episodes were not serialized together, but only the fourteenth episode would be serialized in three weeks, then let alone the climax of the plot. increased in popularity.

He was afraid that he would be sprayed with dog blood by the hundreds of thousands of fans of the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs.

A female protagonist who has been shaped so well in the early stage, why does your author have to paint her to death?

I'm afraid a group of people will immediately turn black

Although there is one more episode in the series, Chu Yu also estimates that there will be many fans who criticize him by then, but fortunately, the last scene of Chapter 15 has sublimated Xuedaiba's sacrifice and has more meaning.

It's not that the author is tragic for the sake of tragedy, and deliberately makes people cry.

"Anyway, no matter what, just work hard!" Chu Yu said solemnly.

This is already the case, and Chu Yu also knows that there is not much he can do.

Although he really wanted to be ranked first in the first round of selection, if he did everything he could and still couldn't compare to the other party, then Chu Yu could calmly accept the result.

"That's fine." Su Yan stopped talking.

"When I submit the original manuscript of Chapter 13 on Monday, I will forward your request to the editor-in-chief. With a high probability, your request will be approved."

"So, if you really want to do this," Su Yan stared at Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin.

"In order to catch up with the typesetting and printing, before next Sunday, the two of you must draw the original manuscripts of the next fourteenth and fifteenth chapters. Also, although the Rurouni Kenshin memory is not long, in any case, now Today's Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is the pillar manga of our manga club, and if it ends, it shouldn't be too hasty."

"In the next two weeks, the comic society will release the news of the end of this work. Maybe you two need to draw some coloring pages for publicity."

"Understood."

Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin nodded.

The two of them are now very compatible.

In good condition, two people can complete the drawing of a comic in three days, not to mention that there are nine days from now to next Sunday.

"Finally, it's about to end." Seeing this, Su Yan also showed a little sadness on his face.

"Thinking about it carefully, from the first time you submitted your article to me, Chu Yu, to now, the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance has reached the top of the movie, and even had the opportunity to break through the first round of selection of the Dragon Star Award and complete the Luo Province comics. A feat that the world has never done in so many years, and it hasn't even been half a year yet!"

"In half a year, you have grown from a rookie to the current king of the comics in Los Angeles, and even this week, you have become famous in the entire Longguo comic circle."

Su Yan looked at Zhao Qinyin and then at Chu Yu.

"I used to dismiss this statement, but now I really feel what a real genius cartoonist is."

"Although I haven't even talked about love, I can draw such a touching love story as Kenshin and Snow Daiba. I don't even know a word in Japanese, but I can combine the history of RB more than a hundred years ago to come up with such a movie. work."

"." Chu Yu.

What can Chu Yu do?

He couldn't tell Su Yan that I was actually a porter of comics from another dimension.

Therefore, he could only accept Su Yan's compliments with a blank face, and by the way, he responded with a few words.

"Um"

"Um"

"exactly."

Originally, Su Yan was still a little sentimental about the end of the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs, so he couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart and said a few words of praise to Chu Yu.

I didn't expect this kid to be so thick-skinned.

Most people don't always praise you for your talent or say you're a genius, they will be humble.

Why did he play cards so unconventionally, he just climbed up the pole and recognized it directly.

It made Su Yan unable to speak any further.

"Pfft!" Zhao Qinyin on the side couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let's be here today, I'm too mentally ill, I'll go back to sleep first." Su Yan had something to say, but she held back.

For example, after the end of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, does Chu Yu have any ideas for a new work?

Even, with the current performance of Chu Yu's works, it should not be a big problem to break through the first round of the Dragon Star Award. After this matter is over, will Chu Yu continue to stay in Cuttlefish?

In September last year, the contract signed by Chu Yu and Cuttlefish was only a one-year contract.

In less than half a year now, Chu Yu has achieved such an achievement.

What will he do next.

Su Yan didn't dare to think about it.

As a comic editor, how many comic artists can you meet like Chu Yu in your lifetime?

From an editor's point of view, Su Yan hopes to continue to serve as Chu Yu's comic editor in the future, and to work with Chu Yu to complete more works like Rurouni Kenshin's Memories.

But from the perspective of a friend, she really hoped that Chu Yu would not renew the contract with Cuttlefish after the contract expired.

Even if there is a new work that is comparable in quality to the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, don't publish it on Cuttlefish during the next half-year contract period.

Before the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance was posted on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards, there was such a voice in the comics industry in Los Angeles.

Cuttlefish's platform is too small, it's too wasteful to serialize the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance on it

After the results of this week's Dragon Star Awards came out, basically everyone recognized this statement in their hearts.

So now Su Yan is very entangled in her heart. In her opinion, with Chu Yu's strength, going to the magic capital, or even RB Island, there is a platform where Chu Yu can show off his skills.

But as a cuttlefish employee, she couldn't say such words.

Therefore, she didn't say some words, and even Su Yan could tell that Zhao Qinyin kept these words in her heart.
