Chapter 34 Invitation
"Damn!"
In the office, Song Jiayu looked gloomy.
In the past two days in the circle, the words he heard the most were Shuixin, Drifter Kenshin...... And as soon as he heard these words, he would think of the woman Su Wei.
Even when he walked into the comic club, he could see a few staff members secretly looking at him and laughing.
He could guess what those people were laughing at.
The entire comic club knew that he, Song Jiayu, pursued Su Wei unsuccessfully, and suppressed Su Wei because of love and hatred, wanting to force the other party to submit.
But what is the result? He spent so much effort in the comic club for several months to suppress Su Wei, but on the contrary, Su Wei himself also unearthed such a monster newcomer as Shui Xin, all of which made what he did before look like a joke.
What's more, in the work Rogue Kenshin, he felt a strong threat.
A newcomer, without any popularity blessing, can get the fourth place in the manga ranking just by relying on the two-word comic serialization, and has been voted by more than 10,000 people.
In Song Jiayu's view, it is only a matter of time before Dong Yun's hidden girl surpasses the two original cuttlefish pillars of the Demon Realm and Tianshu in terms of popularity support.
But what about the work of Rogue Kenshin Reminiscence?
It's really scary, the first issue of the serialization only had more than 4,000 votes, and the second issue was more than 14,000, so what about the third and fourth issues?
Will it catch up?
If someone used to say to the staff of the cuttlefish that a rookie cartoonist had reached the top of the manga, it would have been a sarcastic laugh.
But now, thinking of this possibility, Song Jiayu not only does not have the urge to laugh, but has an invisible pressure.
After all, a man from the magic capital like him came to Luo Province, and he didn't come to play with cuttlefish, the main purpose of his coming here was to add some highlights to his resume.
For example, after he returned to the magic capital in the future, he entered the comic club that his father dedicated his life to as an editor, and his resume says that he served as the deputy editor-in-chief of the top comic company in Los Angeles Province, and served as the most popular work editor on the top comic journal Manying in Los Angeles, which is undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.
But if the first on the resume becomes the second, or the third.......
Then there is no point.
People will only remember the first, no one will remember the second, the third.......
In that case, his visit to Los Angeles would be in vain, and his father would be disappointed in him.
Although his father has a very high status in that comic club, his father doesn't say that he can cover the sky with one hand there, there are also many competitors and opponents, everything has to be rules, he wants to inherit his father's status in that comic club, connections, relationships, and take his father's place after his father retires, and he can't lose at the beginning, if he can't get any good results in a place like Cuttlefish, and returns to the magic capital, how can others believe in his ability?
No, it can't be like this.
Song Jiayu raised his head.
At this time, he and Su Wei were no longer the previous battle of will.
It's a conflict of interests.
......
"Hey, have you read it, a new issue of the Rogue Kenshin Remembrance that was serialized in the movie last week?"
"Of course I saw it!md, Kenshin is handsome, that action, that swordsmanship. ”
"Who is talking to you about that, I mean the last woman to appear, my new goddess is booked. ”
"Isn't your goddess Xiaoyun-chan? Why, after that work is over......, you will change goddesses?
......
"Shui Xin is really good at whetting people's appetites, the second episode ends here, what is the name of the girl who appeared at the end? What is the identity, and how the next development will develop without revealing some, it is really appetizing. ”
"Being able to whet your appetite is a good indication that the author is good at drawing, otherwise it would not be an appetite. The work is not good-looking, and the impatient audience will only abandon the comic, rather than being whipped up by the appetite and chasing the comic. ”
......
"I really want my boyfriend to be as cool as Kenshin in the future.
"Don't think about it, how can you have a boyfriend?"
"Hehe......"
"But is this work really drawn by the author of the painting of Ye Zhiting? It feels like a big difference! I used to draw a love comic, but now what is this painting? War, scheming, blood, love, it seems that there is a little bit of any element! But it's really good-looking!"
.......
Like Su Wei, Chu Yu today felt that there was something different.
Inexplicably, the characters discussed by some anime nerds in the class have changed from other previous manga works to Rogue Kenshin Remembrance, and even the Demon Realm and Tianshu in the same issue, as well as the hidden girl, are not as discussed as this work.
They also wondered why Chu Yu didn't join the discussion, after all, Chu Yu was very interested in the discussion of similar topics.
In the past, the classmates around him who loved to read comics always got together after class to discuss the plot of the current hot comics, but one day, when they discussed the work of Rogue Kenshin, Chu Yu really realized that Rogue Kenshin seemed to be really popular.
It only took a week, a word.
Through the platform of Manying, this work quickly spread in Luo Province, and the speed is staggering.
Fans gathered spontaneously, and Shuixin's predecessor, Yan Ye Zhiting, was also known to many fans, and the ink shadow journal that published the Yan Ye Garden could even be sold to fans of the Rogue Kenshin Memories at two or three times the price on the Internet.
In the space of Chu Yu's system, the world points are also growing all the time, and they have exceeded 200,000, and the deposits in bank accounts are also rising steadily!
......
In the evening, Chu Yu was at home.
Chu Yu was a little dazed when he saw the box of letters in front of him.
"All sent to me?"
"That's right. Su Wei said.
"Then what should I do?" Chu Yu looked at the pile of letters.
"You can read it if you want to, and if you have time, you can reply to it, and if you don't want to see it, you can collect it, or find a way to dispose of it yourself. ”
"There may be a lot of ....... in the future," Su said.
"By the way, I'm here today to tell you something. Su Wei looked at Chu Yu.
"Thing, what's the matter?" Chu Yu was a little puzzled.
"This is a supplementary agreement, and after signing it, your manuscript fee will be changed from 600 per page of comics to 1,000 per page of comics. Su Wei smiled and took out an agreement from his bag.
"This is the initiative of the comic club, you don't have to worry, after all, the previous price of 600 per page of comics is only for the standard of ordinary cartoonists on the comics, after the voting results came out last week, the comic club will naturally adjust your corresponding remuneration according to your potential. ”
"Another salary increase. Chu Yu was a little numb, it had only been two weeks, and his remuneration had risen twice in a row.
"Also, it's about two months before the Chinese New Year, and when the time comes, our comic society will hold an annual meeting a year ago, and then we will invite the major companies that have cooperated with our comic club, the management of our comic club, the chairman, and the cartoonists who think that there is enough weight to attend this annual meeting. Su Wei finally said the point she wanted to say.
"The editor-in-chief told me today, you are also on the invitation list!"
"He asked me to make sure of your opinion, you..... Would you like to go?"
"Annual meeting?" Chu Yu looked at the supplementary agreement in front of him.
He wasn't interested in such an event, but people took the initiative to pay him first, and then invited himself, and if he didn't go, he was a little embarrassed.
"That'...... Let's go!" Chu Yu said cautiously.
"That's okay!" Su Wei smiled.
"Also, you can bring one person with you, girlfriend, family or whatever. ”
"Can you bring someone?" Chu Yu looked at Zhao Qinyin, who had been silently speaking next to him.
Chu Yu understood that the reason why he was invited must be related to the achievements of the Rogue Kenshin Reminiscence, no matter what, the birth of the Rogue Kenshin Reminiscence work has a credit to Zhao Qinyin, since he can let him bring someone, the first thing he thinks of is Zhao Qinyin.
"Do you want to go?" Chu Yu asked her.
"Ahh
She definitely wanted to go, after all, as a cartoonist on the street, she would definitely not want to go to such a place to meet many well-known cartoonists.
However, thinking of Su Wei's last sentence, she was a little embarrassed.
After a while, she held back a word.
"Go!"
"Okay, then it's decided!" Su Wei nodded.
