Chapter 247: A New Year

However, to Chu Yu's relief, the royalty share of the first four volumes of Natsume's friend's account has been paid to his account one after another.

The sales of 6,100,000 copies of the first four volumes were priced at 25 percent, with a 10 percent share, and after deducting taxes, more than 9 million dollars were transferred to his account.

And this ...... The sales royalties of a single book for just half a year have already exceeded all the other benefits of Chu Yu's past career as a cartoonist.......

plus Chu Yu's remuneration for serializing two works at the same time on Xuangui...... In January 2022, Chu Yu officially became a rich man with tens of millions of cash.

Although there are many rich people in Hemo, considering that Chu Yu is only twenty years old and is a sophomore student....... Putting aside those who have mines at home, at least among his peers, Chu Yu's earning power is already at the top of the pyramid.

Moreover, the two works of Five Centimeters per Second and the Voice of the Star are still spreading wildly on the Internet, and it is estimated that the influence of the two works will gradually weaken in a week or two.

Now, judging from the 19 million broadcasts of the whole network at a speed of five centimeters per second and the six million broadcasts of the Voice of the Stars, even if the playback volume of the two works stops at this moment and no longer grows, then after the two works are broadcast and sold, they will be shared with Huang Ming, and the broadcast revenue of the two works will be distributed to Chu Yu at this time, and there will be about 10 million dragon coins.

But these two works are now in a hot period, and the number of broadcasts will definitely continue to grow, counting all kinds of overseas copyright sales, as well as peripheral sales........ Maybe Chu Yu's final income from these two works will be conservatively calculated to be more than twenty or thirty million.

However, these earnings will definitely be settled to him in 2022, and the broadcast of Natsume's friend account in April may drive the sales of manga single books, and if the single book of the initial D is released and the animation is broadcast in 2022, I am afraid it will be a huge profit.

In 2021, Chu Yu's total income was 13 million after taxes, and in 2022, this figure may more than triple or quadruple......

Chu Yu was just idle and bored, he was a little confused, and in the end he could only sigh........ The animation industry is good, and the money is faster than grabbing it.

But this is also normal, in Japan in the parallel world, the annual income of top cartoonists is converted into hundreds of millions of RMB, and in the Dragon Country plane, the Dragon Country, which has many population advantages, the top cartoonists, have an income of hundreds of millions of Dragon Country coins a year, and Chu Yu is now ...... There is still a big gap compared to those people.

But if it continues to develop step by step, if everything goes well, maybe two or three years later, when people mention the name of the top cartoonist in the Dragon Kingdom, they will inevitably think of Chu Yu's name.

But seven or eight years later, when people talk about the top manga artists in the Dragon Kingdom........ may only have Chu Yu's name in his heart.

The concept of the former and the latter is completely different.........

And Chu Yu is also working hard to become the latter.

........

Although it is during the Chinese New Year, it still does not affect the enthusiasm of comic fans to read comics.

The plot of the initial D is now entering the climax.

After Mako Sato, the No.1 female driver in Usui Ice rankings, asked Iketani, Takumi finally agreed to race with her on the Usui Iceberg Road.......

However, in this plot, the audience basically understands that there are actually two narrative lines in this plot, one is the match between Mako Sato and Takumi Fujiwara........ As for the performance of the invincible 86 in Akinayama after running to the ice, fans are also looking forward to it.

And the other line, which mainly tells the love line of Iketani and Sato Mako, the meeting between Ikeya and Sato Mako was just accidental, but in the process, the two admired each other, and Sato Mako concealed from Iketani that she was the fastest driver on the Usui Iceberg Road because she was afraid that Iketani would not like her identity as a female driver........ And Iketani thought that Mako Sato was really an ordinary person and showed off his driver identity and driving skills to her......

It's a pity that during an encounter on the Usui Iceberg Road, Mako Sato's true identity was exposed.

Iketani was hit in an instant, after all, what he was most proud of........ In the car, he was crushed by the girl he liked, and his inferiority complex made him very low when he got along with Mako.

But Mako Sato couldn't detect Iketani's true thoughts because she had never been in love, so she asked Iketani to invite Takumi out to compete with her....... She gave up her identity as a racing driver and officially dated Iketani.......

And Ikeya was already low, and Mako Sato's words hit his self-esteem even more.

After all, what he wants is that Mako Sato likes him as a person and associates with him, not in exchange for it as a condition like a deal.

But he agreed to Mako's words, not because he agreed to Mako's conditions, but because he ....... He wants to fulfill Mako's wish.

Although Iketani has more ideas in the manga and people are more sensitive, fans who read the manga don't have so many ideas.

"Damn, Iketani is not a man, people are obviously looking for a reason to be with you, why do you always want to do so much?"

"Originally, if Mako doesn't like you, you invite Takumi to race with her for ten races, and she won't be able to have a relationship with you, what are you thinking?"

"See, how terrible is a straight man...... Not only does she not understand the girl's mind, but she is also fragile and sensitive, and has strong self-esteem....... If it were me, a girl like Mako please give me a dozen. ”

"Alas, when a straight man meets a simple girl, he looks really anxious....... But finally, a pair of normal lovers appeared in Mr. Shuixin's work, and I can't think of how Mr. Shuixin, two people who like each other, can abuse Mr. Shuixin, and Takeuchi Shu fell out of love because he was obviously not good at driving and took his sister to drag the car and pretended to be forced, and he scared his sister away after a car accident, but it is impossible for Iketani to ignore Mako just because Mako's driving skills are better than him. Although the two obviously have a misunderstanding with each other in the plot now, after all, it is the reason why Iketani thinks too much and people are too sensitive, and this kind of thing should be fine if you enlighten your heart........"

"Above, don't say it, if the final plot is really the separation of Iketani and Mako, the protagonist trio in the text D will all be single drivers. Nao Kine, Takumi Fujiwara. Takeuchi who uttered the famous saying "Riders don't need women". and Iketani ........ All three of them were injured by women, and they chose to give up on women and be with the car for the rest of their lives. ”

"Takumi is single, and he hasn't been hurt by a girl!

"Above, do you really think Takumi and Natsuki can get together? Finally, Takumi knows about the existence of Natsuki's father, do you think he can still be okay with Natsuki?"

........

And the initial D,After more than half a year of serialization,The popularity in the dragon country has gradually stabilized.,Although the number of fans is still growing,But the momentum is definitely not as good as when it was serialized at the beginning.,This level of animation wants to gain huge popularity growth,Basically rely on animation.,But ....... Even so, there is no animated initial D, and the popularity vote on the water edge is now approaching the dream world, and the gap between the two works is very weak.

In this regard, Chu Yu is also very much looking forward to it....... After all, that also means that the system will issue rewards again.

Although now, the world points that Chu Yu has obtained in the past two years have not been used, the amount of his accumulation is enough for Chu Yu to exchange for a work of the highest quality in the A rank, such as the Rogue Kenshin feature film....... If he wants to paint this work, he can directly exchange it with the world points he has saved, a dream of the heart of the sword....... But because of copyright issues, Chu Yu can't be serialized when he redeems it.

And Chu Yu keeps these world points, there are other uses, after all, it seems that if it takes a while, the world points accumulated by Chu Yu will be enough for him to exchange for an average-level S-level work, and now he is a little reluctant to exchange them for A-level ones.

After all, world points are different from lottery, and Chu Yu has no idea what works will be drawn in the lottery, but the world point exchange, as long as the number is sufficient, it is the exchange of designated works.

Moreover, if Chu Yu didn't keep these, when would the system draw out a work for him that destroyed the three views........ For example, what day on campus, X no empty and other works...... Then Chu Yu may only be able to keep it for himself to appreciate, and when the time comes, he wants to continue to serialize new works, and there is no lottery reward given by the system, at that time, it is the time for this world point to play a role.

However, according to Chu Yu's estimate, his new wave of system rewards should arrive soon.

After all, it seems now,The supremacy of five centimeters per second and the voice of the stars in the spring animation cannot be challenged,If after February and March,,There are no dark horses after the spring animation is all broadcast,It is estimated that it will be May or June....... The reward for the first popularity of the spring anime will be credited.

And Natsume's friend account will be broadcast after April.,There will be an anime adaptation broadcast.,Judging from the current popularity of Natsume's friend account.,If the popularity rises after the broadcast.,It's not too likely to occupy the first place in the waterside journal for a long time like Dream World........ But once in a while, there is a great possibility of reaching the top of the water, and according to the standards of the system, as long as there is a period that meets this standard, the reward will naturally be there.

As for whether the initial D can reach the top of the water edge, Chu Yu is not worried at all, this work is now very small from the dream world, if it is animated, then it will definitely be a matter of course to reach the top of the water edge....... It's not a worry at all.

Now Chu Yu only needs to wait quietly for the time to come.

It's just that....... What Chu Yu is worried about now is ........ What should I do if everything goes well in the end and three works are really drawn?

Double-open comics and processing an animation have already made Chu Yu very busy, plus three works....... If you serialize five works at the same time...... That's just heartless....... Chu Yu estimated that he would be directly drained of the last drop of energy.

But fortunately, the initial D and Natsume's friend account are not long....... Serialization of the initial text D, Chu Yu just wants to serialize this work to Takumi and finally choose to join Takahashi Ryosuke's team, forget it, the story of the autumn name mountain bike god...... It's enough to let it end in Mt. Akina.

In the original manga, Takumi joins Ryosuke Takahashi's team........ In Chu Yu's opinion, although it is also very good, there is no doubt that the plot after that is much worse than before, if it ends in Takumi preparing to join Ryosuke's team, leaving readers with suspense, this work is an out-and-out classic.

As for Natsume's friend account, in terms of its length, Chu Yu is afraid that it will take more than two years to serialize all his existing plots, but this work is still in a state of monthly change in the system space, and even sometimes updates it in a few months, Chu Yu feels that if he wants to finish this work in the Dragon Kingdom, he is afraid that he will not be able to wait for the system space to finish it after finishing the previous plot...... Chu Yu also felt a little pitted.

Anyway, he's just going with the flow now.,Before there's a better plan for a new work.,Or before the end of the existing length of serialization.,Continue to serialize Natsume.,If you draw a better work.,When the energy is not enough.,Then stop the serialization of this work first.,Fatten up this work a little.,It's okay to resume serialization.。

With all kinds of ideas, Chu Yu's 2022 Spring Festival was spent like this......

February is coming.

After a week of recuperation after the Spring Festival, everyone returned to work.

Gu Yan didn't stay at home for long, after all, she was not an idler, and the office also had all kinds of things, after the second five and the voice of the stars, there were more dubbing invitations for various animation productions.

It's just that on the morning of the first day she returned to the magic capital, she knocked on the door of Chu Yu's house early in the morning.

After she made her mind clear, she was no longer restrained when she got along with Chu Yu, although it seemed to be no different from before.

However, looking at Chu Yu's eyes, it was completely different.......

In particular, she also brought a bunch of gifts to Chu Yu, and it was not good for Chu Yu to accept it, and it was not good if she didn't accept it.

But fortunately, Gu Yan also knew that Chu Yu's opinion of her now only stayed at the friend stage, so her behavior was all in the category of friends, and she did not dress up sensually to tempt Chu Yu as her friend suggested.

For one, she didn't like that, and she felt that doing it might be counterproductive.

Second, she has confidence in herself, although Chu Yu hasn't liked her yet....... But in the same way, Chu Yu has not liked anyone so far....... And Chu Yu's thoughts were also told to her, one day, she should be able to find someone to date.........

The reason why Gu Yan didn't give up on Chu Yu after being rejected by Chu Yu was because of this, no matter what day it was, the important thing was that it would come..........

There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom, the building near the water gets the moon first........ Anyway, Gu Yan has patience.

Perhaps....... Chu Yu, who got along with Gu Yan, always felt like a little white rabbit, and had a feeling of being targeted by Gu Yan, the big bad wolf.

"Is this a girl in love? The aura is different, it's really terrifying!" Chu Yu could only sigh in the end.

........

When Chu Yu was worried about these things, the plot of the initial text D Ice Chapter also entered the official competition stage after a few weeks of foreshadowing.
