Chapter 73 Progress

After the serialization of the twelfth chapter of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, there is no doubt that there has been a wave of discussion in the comics industry in Los Angeles.

Readers were a little unbelievable, and they wrote readers' letters to Cuttlefish Comics, hoping that the author would not finish this work.

After all, everyone can see that this work has a very complete world view structure, and it also fits the history of RB Island, so there is definitely room for continued painting.

For people in the comics industry in Los Angeles, they are completely puzzled.

Shui Xin is this crazy?

Such a work, with such achievements, if you don't think hard about the continuous serialization of hundreds of episodes, but instead end in 15 episodes, are you looking down on the 70,000 to 80,000 yuan of dragon coins every month?

And even if you look down on that little fee, but with the results of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, after there are many more words, the release of the single book is definitely a sure thing.

Coupled with the results of this work in the selection of the Dragon Star Award, maybe there will be a production company in the magic capital that will buy the animation, movie, and game adaptation rights after seeing this work?

If the final situation can develop towards this plot, it will not be a drizzle of tens of thousands a month, but it will not be a problem at all with an annual income of several hundred, tens of millions.

When the popularity of this work reached its peak, with such a huge potential, Shui Xin, you actually said that this work will be finished within two weeks?

Could it be that the head was squeezed by the door?

On this day, when cartoonists from major comic companies in Los Angeles gather, this matter will be discussed.

Many people even ridiculed in public that Shui Xin was probably done by Jiang Lang, and he couldn't think of such a high-quality plot later, so he chose to end it at the peak.

Some people also said that Shui Xin is a young man after all, and his achievements are unknown. If this work is really finished, it may be another example of the peak of the debut, and it will definitely disappear in the future.

However, by night, the wind had changed.

The reason is that someone wrote a blog post about this time in the evening, and the whole content is an analysis of the end of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

One of the words surprised everyone.

The Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is indeed coming to an end, but will the Rurouni Kenshin work really come to an end?

People who see this sentence still have some doubts for a while?

Tongue twister?

But immediately, it reacted.

Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

Memories.

All of a sudden, everyone who paid attention to the ending of Rurouni Kenshin's reminiscences "wake up".

They all complained that Shui Xin is really a cunning person, and the Cuttlefish Comics Club is really good at making news.

Generally speaking, although there is no rule for naming a work, how can it end with the word xx?

Because I hadn't thought about it before.

Now, fans who read this blog post are suddenly sober.

Rurouni Kenshin Memories, it's just a chapter of Rurouni Kenshin

The reminiscence chapter is over, and a new chapter will definitely begin.

Shui Xin and Cuttlefish have been playing word games with all the fans from the very beginning!

In less than a day, the emotions of the fans of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance have ranged from the reluctance of not wanting it to end to the strong expectation of ending and opening a new chapter.

but

Is this really the case?

At night, Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin were still finishing the original drafts of the fourteenth and fifteenth chapters of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

"So what is the current view of this work on the Internet?" Chu Yu looked at Su Yan.

"Do you think I will draw a new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin after the end of the reminiscence chapter?"

"Don't say it's online. Even our cuttlefish have such a view." Su Yan said.

"When you started the serialization, you expected a dozen or so words. Of course, I submitted such information to Cuttlefish early in the morning. Later, as you know, this work became popular with lightning speed, so there is a paragraph in the comic club. Time is not for me to ask you whether there are any other chapters besides the reminiscence chapter in this work of Rurouni Kenshin.”

"You should remember what you said to me back then!"

"You said yes, but the plot was added later, and the plot is not yet fully conceived." Su Yan stared at Chu Yu.

"I also reported this matter later, but it seems that the top management of the cuttlefish automatically ignored the latter sentence. After all, in their opinion, no works are serialized after they have been fully conceived, and they are all conceived while being serialized."

"Otherwise, you thought that this time you finished the reminiscence chapter, why the cuttlefish didn't ask much, they all thought that you wanted to finish the reminiscence chapter and open a new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin"

"But in fact, Sister Su, you should know, right?" Chu Yu frowned.

"I have no idea of ​​serializing the new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin. I still haven't conceived the plot of the other chapters of Rurouni Kenshin, so it is impossible to continue the serialization of this work."

Specifically, it's not that Chu Yu has no such idea, but that Chu Yu can't do anything about it.

The direct exchange of World Points for Rurouni Kenshin is far from complete, and the chances of getting a Rurouni Kenshin from A-rank with the B-rank exchange qualification on him are zero.

Otherwise, it is not impossible for Chu Yu to serialize the main part of this work.

"So," Su Yan sighed.

"I didn't report such a thing to the cuttlefish!"

"Anyway, I didn't say that after the end of the reminiscence chapter, you have to start a new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin, but the outside world and the cuttlefish have made up their minds on their own."

"Self strategy, the most deadly!"

"If you don't do this, do you still want to finish the reminiscence chapter? Maybe starting three or five days ago, Cuttlefish will send me and various functional personnel to gather at your home to let you take back your decision, and by the way, I will advise you to start you. My brain, no matter what, I have to come up with hundreds of words for this work, even if it is a water plot, I have to turn it into a long serial."

if that's the case

When Chu Yu heard the words, his expression changed slightly.

But now the problem arises.

"At that time, things didn't go according to the script that the cuttlefish imagined."

"After the recollection chapter is over, what will happen if this work is completely finished." Chu Yu asked.

"What else?" Su Yan smiled.

"Totally explode!"

"But it's better than the script that the cuttlefish sent someone to force you to squeeze all the commercial value of this work, and you and them completely fell out!"

Su Yan also understood Chu Yu's temperament and knew that Chu Yu said it was over, so he must finish this work.

And the top management of the cuttlefish had such a misunderstanding of the matter, and Su Yan just pretended to be stupid and fooled the matter.

"Of course, the best situation is that after the end of the reminiscence chapter, you continue to serialize the new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin! Then there will be no trouble." Su Yan said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"This kind of thing." Chu Yu wanted to say.

There was nothing he could do.

But it's not good to be too firm.

So halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly.

1:00 a.m. Saturday.

Dragon Star Awards official website.

The twelfth chapter of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is updated simultaneously.

The Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance in the second week of the Dragon Star Awards selection was indeed fierce.

The score remains unchanged at 9.8, but the fan value has increased from 170,000 last Friday to about 350,000 today.

Ranked temporarily seventh.

Of course, the fan value of basically all works is on the rise. After a week, the number one Fiery Feather has risen from just over 400,000 fans last week to more than 700,000 today.

At this time, many online fans of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance are eagerly waiting for the update of the work.

The publication time of these participating comics is different, so the update time on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards is also different.

But at this moment, almost all the netizens who browsed various comics on the official website felt that some pages were stuck.

And if it is the backstage staff of the official website of the Dragon Star Awards competition, if you look up the data, you will understand how high the proportion of followers of the Rurouni Kenshin Memories is!

Eighty percent of the hundreds of thousands of fans of this work will watch it within 24 hours after the new episode is updated.

About 35% of the fans will directly wait for updates in the early morning.

And Blazing Feather's 24-hour follow-up data is only a little less than 50%, and the number of people waiting online is only 15%.

The two works with a score of 9.8 and 8.8 seem to have a gap of one point on the surface, but compared with these data, the gap is very intuitive.

But in any case, in terms of the fan value of more than 300,000 fans of the work of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, it can indeed be called more than 100,000 people waiting for new episodes to be updated online at the same time.

The plot of the new chapter is all about the fierce battle between Kenshin and the enemy.

His eyes were temporarily blind, and his ears were also bleeding from the impact.

On the way up the mountain, Kenshin once had a hallucination.

In the picture, many people and many scenes flashed one by one.

At this moment, Jian Xin remembered what he and Ba said about going to Dajin to live in seclusion.

Live in seclusion and live together with Ba.

Perhaps, this is the only wish in Jian Xin's heart at this moment.

When his consciousness was blurred, Kenshin seemed to have seen Ba in a hallucination and shouted out that sentence.

Let's go together, Otsu!

As soon as he shouted, Jian Xin's blurred consciousness also recovered, but there was no one in front of him, only the sky full of snow.

For a moment, the fans who saw this scene felt sad for Jian Xin.

"Shui Xin is too bad, what kind of abusive plot! I really convinced these authors, and the two people in the back are not going to be together. What are you doing so abuse?"

"I burst into tears, I feel that Jian Xin is about to be overwhelmed by the fact that he killed Ba's fiancé! Otherwise, it is impossible to be seriously injured by the sneak attack by the previous people! And you see how badly he was injured. , still thinking about going up the mountain to save Ba."

"There's nothing you can do about this!"

On this page, the number of comics complaining is unprecedented.

Turn to the next page again.

It's a coloring page with Kenshin and Ba on the coloring page and it says at the top.

This work will be serialized at the same time in the fourteenth chapter and the fifteenth chapter of the final chapter in two weeks, so stay tuned.

"?"

"?"

"What the hell?"

"end?"

"It's funny!"

Bunch of comments.

However, fans from Los Angeles came forward to explain that it was only the reminiscence chapter that ended, and the other chapters were about to start serialization.

Unlike the turmoil that lasted for a day in Los Angeles, the rapidity of online information dissemination made all online fans of Rurouni Kenshin's reminiscences think that the author Shui Xin was about to serialize a new chapter after finishing the reminiscences.

But again, network communication also has its limitations.

That is. From the beginning to the end, Shui Xin has never admitted such news, but those who see it are willing to believe it.

After reading the serialization of the new episode, Zhang Yun looked at his editor with a sad face.

"How about it?"

"Do you think this work has a chance to threaten me in the first round?"

As the author of Blazing Feather, Zhang Yun, there is no doubt that this Dragon Star Award selection must be aimed at the first place in the Dragon Star Award.

In his opinion, among all the entries.

No matter if it is the Battle Spirit who is currently ranked second with a value of 650,000, or the Jie Hai who ranks third with a fan value of 600,000.

These works, whether it is the first round of selection or the second round of selection, pose little threat to him.

Only this Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs.

Zhang Yun's attitude has changed from being contemptuous at the beginning to being an enemy now.

He is also a cartoonist, and he clearly distinguishes the pros and cons of his works.

Even if the fan value of his works is now crushing the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs, he is still worried.

"I don't think it's very likely."

"According to the current growth rate of this work, after the first round of selection, it should be ranked fourth and fifth, and the top three chances are small." The editor said solemnly.

"Don't worry, the quality of the work, it will take a certain amount of time to turn it into a popular one. The one-month period for the first round selection of the Dragon Star Award is still too short, and the platform for the serialization of this work itself is too long. In general, not to mention promoting it nationwide, even the neighboring provinces have no ability to promote it, just relying on word of mouth to increase the fan value is still not enough to defeat the blazing feather.”

"I hope so." Zhang Yun sighed.

There is a gap in the brilliance of the works, which Zhang Yun admits, but this does not mean that he will easily admit defeat.

After all, the final works selected by the Dragon Star Award are not just based on the quality of a certain aspect.

It can be seen from the rules that in the first round of selection, the popularity of the work itself is very important, that is, the commerciality of the work itself, while the second round of selection is based on the appetite of professional cartoonists.

Only works with strong comprehensive strength can win, not to mention, now Blazing Feather occupies an absolute advantage, and it is too early to give up.

But for some reason, Zhang Yun was always a little uncomfortable.

Reminds me of watching the preview coloring page at the end of the latest episode of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance

Two weeks later, the fourteenth and fifteenth episodes were serialized together.

In terms of time, less than two days after those two words were updated on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards, the first round of the Dragon Star Awards selection was over.

Was this arranged on purpose?

Or, just pure coincidence?

With such a question, Zhang Yun also went to bed and rested.

A week has passed, and it's another Friday.

The new issue of Manying is published again.

As the most popular comic in Los Angeles today, there is often a queue outside the bookstore on every release day of the Rurouni Kenshin.

In this week's Manying, the cover of the journal is still the coloring page of Kenshin and Ba.

Compared with the lack of publicity for this work at the beginning, posters of this work are posted on the walls outside the bookstore to attract traffic, and its treatment has changed so much that it is rare.

As a senior high school student, school started a few days earlier, but just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the school also started.

The original draft of the last two episodes of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance has been submitted to Su Yan last week, and is just waiting to be published. With the end of the reminiscence, the relationship between Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin's cartoonists and assistants has also been temporarily terminated.

Chu Yu, Zhao Qinyin, and Su Yan have not seen each other for a week because of the temporary end of their work.

It is already the last semester of senior year, and everyone is in a tense sprint stage.

And after working as a cartoonist for several months, Chu Yu is taking a break now. Instead, he feels that it is very easy to sit and listen to lectures all day as a student.

But unlike Chu Yu's leisure, with the release of the thirteenth chapter of the Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, the entire Luo Province comics world has been boiling for a while.

Many readers bought comic books with great interest, ate dinner, and drank tea and began to watch the latest episode of Rurouni Kenshin Memories.

But the more you look behind you, the more your brows wrinkle.

When she saw the thirteenth chapter, Snow Daiba rushed to save Kenshin and his enemy, and used his body to help Kenshin to block the enemy's attack.

If consciousness can be embodied, then all the fans of Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs who see this scene at this moment will definitely have a big question mark on their foreheads.

Shui Xin, what do you want to do?

You are playing with fire, do you know that?

(The two chapters have been updated together, and I am too lazy to score chapters. After all, I have to think of a chapter name for a chapter. It is really powerless to come up with a chapter name!)
