Chapter 48 Before the Annual Meeting
After the winter vacation, Chu Yu finally realized what it means to be relaxed.
No more creating comics every night until late at night.
The comic work that could be completed in the past week, with the cooperation of him and Zhao Qinyin, just Wednesday, both of them completed the work content of this week, which made Su Wei impressed after knowing it.
Originally, Zhao Qinyin was already the fastest comic painting speed in the comic creator group.
But compared to Chu Yu, her speed was still dwarfed.
After all, when he first bound the system, the system strengthened his manga drawing skills and speed.
So it only took five days, and the two of them completed the original manuscript of the new episode without working overtime at night.
Su Wei looked at the original manuscript of the eleventh chapter of the Rogue Kenshin Reminiscence that Chu Yu had just handed over to her, and she suddenly felt that she seemed to be quite confused as an editor.
She can't interject in the plot, and she doesn't need her to urge the work, the deadline for the comic film is Sunday, and this guy has drawn it all on Friday before.
It's good now, as soon as the two of them have a holiday, the two of them simply finished the original manuscript on Wednesday.
Su Wei has been engaged in this industry for so many years, and it is not that he has never seen a prolific sow-type cartoonist, but he is really the only one who can reach the level of the combination of Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin.
If two people put aside their studies and don't go to class, work during the day, and work overtime at night, it's not a dream to talk about comics every week!
Of course, the premise is that Chu Yu can withstand such a high-intensity plot creation, after all, the Wanderer Kenshin Reminiscence has been painted until now, not only has the plot not collapsed, but also the foreshadowing is linked one by one, if you want to achieve such an effect, you must have already conceived and completed the entire work when you started writing the first word.
I don't know how long it took Chu Yu to polish the plot of this work in his heart.
But Su Wei guessed that this time must not be low.
"Whew!" Chu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, he was also a salted fish, and after the task was completed this week, he also wanted to rest.
It's a holiday!
If you devote yourself to drawing comics, then what's the point?
Moreover, the Roger Kenshin Remembrance chapter has been serialized to the eighth chapter on the comic, and what he handed over to Su Wei today was the original manuscript of the eleventh chapter.
Judging from the progress, with only four words, this work will be finished, and it will be less than two months before its publication on the comic film ends.
Comparatively speaking, Chu Yu didn't feel any nervousness.
"Then, I don't have to come over for the next few days?" Zhao Qinyin asked after learning about Chu Yu's work schedule.
"Well, we'll have a few days left in the week before we rested!" Chu Yu nodded.
"It's winter vacation, and I'm embarrassed if I keep you working with me, after all, it's less than two weeks before the New Year. ”
"Of course, we can also work hard during this time, according to the speed of this week, maybe we can draw the four-word plot of the fourth section of the Rogue Kenshin Remembrance Chapter before the year, so that this work will be over, and everyone can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind during the Spring Festival......."
"End...... End ......"
As soon as Chu Yu said this, Su Wei and Zhao Qinyin were both stunned.
Both of them had been paying attention to the results and drawing of this work before, and it was only when Chu Yu talked about this issue for the first time that they found out.
It turns out that this work has come to this time period.
Even if Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin were not in the situation that they had a lot of time to draw comics during the holidays, according to the previous rhythm, this work would be completed within a month, and it would be published within two months.
"Time....... It's going by so fast......"
"Then when this work is over....... Chu Yu, what are you going to do? This work is called the Ronin Kenshin Remembrance Chapter, the Remembrance Chapter...... So there are other chapters! You're going to ....... Serialize other chapters of this work?" Zhao Qinyin looked at Chu Yu.
Including Su Wei, she also wanted to know this question.
Other chapters?
"Other chapters, honestly...... I don't have a clue at all. ”
Chu Yu said helplessly.
Of course, he knew that the length of the remembrance chapter only accounted for a small part of the Rogue Kenshin, but the complete original work was a work that was systematically judged to be an A-grade work, even if he wanted to gamble on his luck, it was impossible to draw an A-grade work by relying on the B-level lottery opportunity in his hand.
But relying on world points to exchange, the number of world points he now obtains by relying on the Remembrance Chapter is too far from exchanging all chapters of Rogue Kenshin.
"And the next semester is the last semester of high school, and the college entrance examination will be in June, my grades are different from Zhao Qinyin, you are too salty, if you don't work hard, it is estimated that there is no hope of being admitted to a third-rate university." ”
"How can I think about it so much now? The work is not over yet, and if the popularity vote is still the first this week, isn't there still a Dragon Star Award during the Chinese New Year?"
"You can only take one step at a time. ”
Chu Yu's words were ambiguous, and Su Wei and Zhao Qinyin lowered their heads when they heard this, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Hey, hey, why don't you talk anymore!"
The two remained silent.
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this!" Chu Yu shook his head.
"Sister Su, didn't you say it before? This Saturday, our comic club has an annual meeting, and let me and Zhao Qinyin go to buy suits and dresses to attend the meeting, anyway, this week's work is also completed, and the three of us happen to be there, I see...... Why don't you go now?"
Chu Yu's words immediately attracted the attention of Su Wei and Zhao Qinyin.
Girls, when talking about shopping, especially the topic of clothing, even Zhao Qinyin was attracted to attention.
"So, just go now?"
"That's fine!"
.......
In a commercial building in the center of Minh City.
"Hello sir, are you satisfied with this outfit?"
The shopping guide on the side saw Chu Yu walking out of the fitting room and walked up with a smile.
"It's okay!"
Chu Yu looked in the mirror, wearing leather shoes in the mirror, he did seem to be a lot more mature in the suit, but he himself looked weird, after all, he had never dressed in a similar style before.
In the women's fitting room not far away, Zhao Qinyin and Su Wei walked out together.
Zhao Qinyin changed into a red skirt at this time, her shoulders and arms were exposed, and she stepped on a pair of high-heeled shoes of moderate height.
His hair hung low, his eyes seemed to be a little flustered, and there was a hint of redness on his cheeks, which seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Although she didn't feel much when she watched those hosts wearing similar clothes on TV, she really felt how embarrassed she was when she changed into such clothes herself.
Not only are she unaccustomed to wearing high heels, but the dress is too exposed to be compared to some of the casual clothes and ankle-length skirts she wears on weekdays and weekends.
As for Su Wei next to her, she changed into some black dresses, slender waists, fair and straight calves, and the whole person looks beautiful and confident, after all, she has been working hard in the workplace for several years, and Zhao Qinyin's little girl mentality is different.
For a while, the two attracted the attention of many other men and women who were shopping for clothes.
At the end of the year, the company holding the annual meeting is not only cuttlefish, so there are many people in the store who have the same purpose as Chu Yu and others, especially those men, who frequently look at Su Yu and Zhao Qinyin.
This made Zhao Qinyin feel even more uncomfortable.
"Yo! Chu Yu, it's not bad!"
Su Wei saw Chu Yu's suit outfit, but his eyes lit up.
"You, you used to be jeans, T-shirts, or school uniforms, and you didn't see it very well, but now when you change your clothes, you're still a little handsome. ”
Su Wei's voice made Chu Yu come back to his senses all of a sudden.
Only then did he realize that he was slightly stunned when he saw the costumes of the two just now.
However, Chu Yu immediately responded, "If you don't say this kind of thing, I know it." Also, next time I praise someone, remove the word a little and just say handsome. ”
It's really arrogant.
Su Wei pursed his lips.
"How is it, do you think it's okay, clothes?" Chu Yu looked at the two of them.
"I don't think it's a problem, that's it. ”
Although Su Wei has several sets of banquet dresses at home, she is still ready to buy a new set for herself to attend the annual meeting, after all, a woman's clothes are always one piece missing.
"Like, it's a little too exposed......" Zhao Qinyin's voice was much quieter.
"It's not all like that, it's just that you're not used to paying attention to those places all the time, and when you look at it on Saturday last year, you can see how conservative you are compared to other women. Su Wei shook his head and said to Zhao Qinyin.
"That'...... Okay......." Zhao Qinyin said in a low voice.
Since embarking on the road of comics, she has only heard of the annual meeting of the cuttlefish comic club, and has never been there.
Compared to the excitement and anticipation of attending such a meeting, she can bear it just wearing such a not very accustomed outfit.
The two who decided went back to the fitting room again to change their clothes.
After all, it was snowing heavily outside the mall, so it was impossible to go out in such a dress.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Yu walked to the cashier.
"How much did the two of them have shoes, skirts, and my suit and shoes. ”
"Sir, do you want to settle the bill together?" smiled the cashier.
"Hmm!"
Soon, the woman operated on the computer, and the final summary of the numbers made Chu Yu's heart skip a beat.
So expensive......
It's all in time....... I.......
Most of the week's manuscript fee was paid.
Chu Yu's first reaction when he saw the data was to measure it by his living expenses in the previous month.
But then I felt very uncomfortable, because after a rough calculation, I felt that the unit of the month could be full of twelve into one, and it became a year.
So it immediately changed to be measured by his weekly manuscript fee.
All of a sudden, my heart was at ease.
If Chu Yu didn't go out today and stayed at home to draw comics, the price of the original manuscript that could be completed could catch up with the price of two sets of his clothes.
The mindset changed immediately.
After Zhao Qinyin and Su Wei came out, Chu Yu not only settled the account, but also put on his thick down jacket and prepared to go home.
"You've settled the bill?"
Su Wei and Zhao Qinyin looked at each other.
Yes, they knew that Chu Yu had a very high income now, but they were not ready to take advantage of him when they pulled Chu Yu.
"I'll transfer the account to you......" Zhao Qinyin took out his mobile phone as he said.
"Forget it!" Chu Yu waved his hand.
"After all, it's everyone's joint efforts that have made the work of Rogue Kenshin Remembrance the current result, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you for ......."
"The gift I gave you on Christmas Eve last time also had this meaning, but it seems that Sister Su doesn't like that scale very much, this time you chose it yourself, you should take it as my gratitude to you again....... I don't have to transfer the money, and I won't take it. ”
"But I like the comic tools you gave me....... Forget about Sister Su's, I'll pay for my words myself......."
"Okay, okay, let's go, that's it!" Chu Yu knew that reasoning with Zhao Qinyin he couldn't talk about this smart-minded and logical girl.
Alone, he walked towards the door of the store with his own bag of clothes.
finally wanted to give someone a gift, but it would be too embarrassing if Zhao Qinyin didn't accept it, so he simply didn't give her this opportunity.
Su Wei grabbed Zhao Qinyin, who still wanted to say something, and shook his head.
"Forget it, he gave it as a gift to thank the two of us for helping his work, needless to say......."
"It's really so clear.,It's not good.,If you want to feel embarrassed.,It's better to be more attentive to end the work of Rogue Kenshin Remembrance.,It's true to leave no regrets.。 Su Wei said.
For Su Wei, she thinks that people who are okay give her gifts, but she will not refuse to come, and she will find a chance to return the gift in the future, not like Zhao Qinyin, who has less social experience.
"What's the matter? What are you doing struggling with that kind of thing?" Chu Yu stood at the door, looking at the two of them and said speechlessly.
"Okay, here......." Su Wei hurriedly stepped forward.
Zhao Qinyin hesitated, but also followed.
.......
In the next two days, neither Su Wei nor Zhao Qinyin came to Chu Yu's house.
After all, Chu Yu has already submitted the original draft of this week's comics, and although Chu Yu asked Zhao Qinyin if he wanted the two of them to work overtime before the beginning of the year to completely end this work.
But Zhao Qinyin's final answer to him was only that she was approaching the Chinese New Year, and things were very busy, and she could easily complete the assistant work if she spoke once a week, but it might be more difficult to say twice a week......
Since Zhao Qinyin said this, Chu Yu didn't say anything.
For him, it doesn't make much difference whether a comic is drawn in two weeks or in a month.
......
The New Year is over in a few days, and the cold of the entire Luo Province can not extinguish the enthusiasm in everyone's hearts.
Various food stalls are also allowed to be set up in the city during this time.
And many elementary and middle school students also have New Year's money, and they are not stingy when buying their favorite comic periodicals and peripherals.
The three major comic societies in Luo Province, Fengyu, Cuttlefish, and Dragon's Tooth, have all achieved an increase in the number of orders for periodicals.
Although the cuttlefish comic club felt a little strange that Luo Cheng, a big distributor of its company, had nearly 30,000 more orders than the usual reported comic films, it was just thought that it was caused by the increase in sales caused by the Chinese New Year, although it was ...... The increase is somewhat staggering.
And the arrival of Friday also heralds the release of the ninth episode of the Rogue Kenshin Remembrance Chapter.
For a time, in the major bookstores in Los Angeles Province, there was a significant gap between the sales speed of the journal Manying and Tianyin and Fire Dragon, which were the three major journals in Los Angeles Province.
Nowadays, the manga Rogue Kenshin Remembrance has become the most commonly heard work by fans in Los Angeles.
Compared with Tianyin, after Dong Yun left, Zhong Ning's astral family dominated, and the two popular works on the fire dragon alternately reached the top.
The comic film has now presented a situation of one super three powers.
Although Dong Yun's hidden girl suppressed Shen Xin's Demon Realm, her advantage was not obvious, and the Demon Realm and Tianshu were still works of the same level.
Only the Rogue Kenshin Remembrance chapter, last week's popularity survey was the only one on Moying, not only was the popularity vote the only work on Manying to break through 40,000, but also surpassed Dong Yun's hidden girl by up to 10,000 votes.
Don't look at the tens of thousands of votes, most comic fans are diving parties, even if they like to die of this work in their hearts, they may not be willing to vote for their favorite works on the Internet, this is a matter of personal habits.
If there are tens of thousands of popularity votes, then the number of real fans of the work may be more than ten times the number of readers.
Obviously, the ranking of any popularity vote is false, and the number of supporters is the root of the comic book author.
The number of voters for the fifth place of Manying is not more than 10,000, but it is only a place gap with Tianshu in the fourth place, and the actual number of fans is more than two grades behind.
The results of the number of popularity votes in the past two weeks have told the entire Luo Province comic industry that the work of Rogue Kenshin Remembrance is not only the only one in the comics, but even if it is put in the entire Los Angeles comic industry, and in the two periodicals of Tianyin and Fire Dragon, his popularity is also the only one.
It's hard to believe that this work was actually painted by a newcomer.
Shui Xin, a cartoonist who was born at the end of this year, a person who still doesn't know whether this person is a man or a woman, old or young...... is such a person, but he is about to reach the top of the comic industry in Los Angeles.
And this annual meeting of the Cuttlefish Comics Club, it is said that Shuixin, who is now stirring up the comic industry in Los Angeles, will also attend.
However, many people in the comic industry are looking forward to tomorrow's cuttlefish annual meeting.
(The two chapters were changed together, and it was too lazy to score chapters in one document.) )
