Chapter 99: Mysterious Turtle
"Sure enough, it's not that easy!" Chu Yu sighed.
The smooth sailing in Luo Province did not make him dizzy, thinking that he was omnipotent, and the treatment he received in the past two days was honestly very good.
The editors of the major comics companies are willing to interview him, and even directly said that his works can be serialized directly in other top journals except the ace journals without going through the serialization meeting. Not even old cartoonists.
It's just that Chu Yu's requirements are really high.
In the entire Demon City, there are only more than 100 serial seats for the trump card journals under the seven majors.
However, among these more than 100 seats, there are outstanding cartoonists who are still struggling in the entire Longguo comics industry in the past 20 years. Compared with these people, Chu Yu only has the title of author of a Dragon Star Award winner. , or worse.
"Okay! The last family!" Chu Yu sorted out his mood.
The fighting style of Tianji, Water Hedgehog and Hedgehog did not match Chu Yu's new work, so he didn't think about it. As for Phoenix, he wouldn't say it.
That is to say, the only choice that the Seven Great Demonic Capitals now face in front of Chu Yu is Xuan Gui.
If Xuan Gui does not agree with his request, then Chu Yu has no choice but to consider the non-trump journals of the seven majors!
Inside the mysterious turtle, in the office.
Li Xi is still as capable as usual, in the same professional ol skirt, walking with her head up and her chest up, she looks full of confidence!
After Chu Yu came in, she poured a cup of tea for Chu Yu and said with a smile.
"You really came!"
When Chu Yu heard this, he was a little puzzled.
"What do you mean? I made an appointment with you yesterday, of course I will come!"
"No, that's not what I'm talking about, what I'm talking about is that half a year ago, on the night of the Dragon Star Awards, when I gave you my business card, I had a feeling that you would come to the Magic City, and you would come to me, and... You will cooperate with me!" Li Xi took a sip of tea and looked at Chu Yu.
"How about it? Are the other companies very disappointed? You want to serialize your works in their most famous journals. They always use some words to prevaricate you."
When Chu Yu heard the words, his eyes narrowed.
"How do you know that I went to seven other houses in the magic capital?"
"Although the magic capital is big, the circle of comics industry is very small." Li Xi said.
"Yesterday morning orange cat, afternoon seven leaves, this morning green leaves, I said right!"
Chu Yu was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Anyway, this year's Dragon Star Award winner, the author of the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs, Shui Xin brought a new work to the Magic City, and the new work seems to have changed directly from the battle-oriented comics like the Rurouni Kenshin Memories. Romance girl style, there are still a lot of people talking about this topic in my circle of friends, and it seems that everyone thinks that your new comic will be thrown! After all, your style has changed a bit!"
Chu Yu is not interested in this topic. Indeed, the interests of the comics in the magic capital are also complicated, and some people also want to see him make a joke.
In particular, the group of people from the magic capital Qin Province were also dissatisfied with him for robbing Qin Province of the Dragon Star Award for several consecutive years.
But Chu Yu doesn't want to pay attention to those things. After the work is serialized, these people will shut up!
"Listen to your words, you mean you can make my works serialized on the top journal under Xuangui, on the edge of the water?" Chu Yu focused on this.
"Do not"
"I didn't say that." Li Xi rolled up the hair by his ear.
"However, compared to the negative answers from other manga companies, your request is not entirely impossible for me."
"But anyway, at least, show me your work first!"
"Oh, sorry!" Only then did Chu Yu realize that he had been in for a long time, and he didn't even hand the work to the other party.
Li Xi took it with both hands and looked very seriously.
She watched the six-episode work for nearly half an hour.
"To be honest, this work is very novel!" Li Xi closed her eyes, and after a while, she pointed to Natsume's friend account.
"This style of work has never been seen before. After reading it, I feel a touch of emotion, not strong, but this feeling is enough to leave traces in my heart."
"Is this the style of unit dramas in the back?" Li Xi asked.
"Yes, in general, each story will not exceed four words!"
"What about the estimated length of this work?"
"Probably, there are more than fifty or sixty words!"
The work system of Natsume's Book of Friends has not been completed until now, and the system information also indicates that the work is not completed, and it is continuously updated.
But because this work is in the form of a unit drama, the ending is also simple, so Chu Yu can also split the more exciting plots and serialize them to make the overall quality of the work higher. Fame helps a lot!
"That's it!" Li Xi nodded.
"What about the quality of this work? Can you guarantee that the quality of this work will not be lower than these three words in the future?" As he spoke, Li Xi stared at Chu Yu's eyes.
Li Xi has his own way of knowing people. As long as Chu Yu speaks and listens to his tone, does he have a clue in the future plot of this work? Li Xi can feel whether these three words are just a whim and inspiration.
After all, there are a lot of amazing comics at the beginning, and the same is true for the half-cut comics. In many cases, the two are often the same work.
If the follow-up plot is weak and has no inspiration, then it is useless for anyone to come, but to cut in half!
So before serializing, Li Xi has to figure this out.
"I can guarantee that the quality of the following plot is higher than these three episodes!" Chu Yu heard the words and said directly.
There is a strong confidence in the words.
A flash of admiration flashed in Li Xi's eyes. If a cartoonist has no confidence in his subsequent creative ability, what else can he draw?
"Yes!" Li Xi nodded.
"If you can make such a promise, that's fine!"
Li Xi pondered for a while, then raised his head!
"Exactly, three works on the waterfront will be cut in half in two weeks. At the serialization meeting, I can recommend this work!"
"Three? How come there are so many?" Chu Yu was shocked when he heard this.
In general, for a journal of this level, how can three works be cut in half at one time, which accounts for almost one-sixth of the entire journal. Can readers adapt?
"Or what I told you at the beginning, Xuan Gui is different from other comics clubs, do you think it's nonsense?" Li Xi said indifferently.
"In Xuangui, its journals are divided into three levels in terms of influence. In any journal, there will be a work evaluation every three months, and the three works with the worst evaluation results will be cut in half, or moved to a lower level. Journal."
"The resulting vacancies are transferred from the excellent works in the lower-level journals to one journal, and then the serialization meeting will select two journals for serialization."
"Back then, Tang Xin's shadow thorn, because of its high popularity, was directly moved from the third-level journal to the water edge in this way!"
"That's why I said that Xuan Gui is definitely the fastest place for rookie cartoonists to become famous, as long as you have the strength." Tang Xin said calmly.
"Of course, this is also the place where the old cartoonists have fallen the fastest. The three-month results are at the bottom. No matter who works, get out!"
"Because of this system, Xuan Gui's signing method is also different from other manga clubs. Signing is a contract for one work, and the income from works is at least one higher than works of the same level in other manga clubs. Twenty percent or more."
"Only signing works, not people?" Chu Yu heard the words in confusion.
This is the first time he has encountered such a signing situation.
