Chapter 33: The Direction of the Wind
"Rogue Kenshin Remembrance? What is that, Shui Xin? I don't know at all. As Li Xi spoke, he helped Tang Xin clean up the takeaway boxes and various snack garbage on the table.
As Tang Xin's editor, her responsibilities definitely do not include these miscellaneous things, but she understands that if no one comes to help Tang Xin do these things, this girl who is good at drawing comics and has extremely low self-care ability can make this apartment in the center of the magic capital, where every inch of land is expensive, become a garbage dump.
"Don't you know?" Tang Xin's eyes widened, his face full of disappointment.
"That's it! The work serialized in the periodical comic film under the cuttlefish comic club has only been serialized in three words......"
"I don't know, I'm not impressed at all, but I basically know the old authors in Luo Province, so it may be a new writer in Luo Province!" Li Xi shook his head and said.
"But why are you asking this?"
Tang Xin stood up from the chair with a little embarrassment on his face.
"Didn't I think you used to be at that comic club?"
"I mean......."
"If you're familiar with it, can you help me make a copy of the follow-up comics of this work, or the name of the comics, to me......."
"Although this work has only been serialized in the journal to the third episode, if the situation is similar to our comic club, maybe the comic club called cuttlefish already has the original manuscript of Kenshin's fourth or even fifth words in its hands, and if the manga name is called, maybe even the ending will be drawn and submitted. ”
"I'm curious, the follow-up plot of this work. Speaking of this, Tang Xin clenched his hands into fists and looked at Li Xi with a look of hope and expectation.
When Li Xi heard this, he mercilessly gave her a hand knife, which hit her in the head.
"Pain, pain, pain!" Tang Xin cried out while covering his forehead.
"What are you thinking? It's been two years since I left that boring company, okay? And I was at a standout with that comic club, how could I possibly get access to other people's comic manuscripts. ”
"And even if I still have a good relationship with the people of that comic club, this kind of thing is impossible! How can unpublished comic manuscripts and comic names be copied and loaned, although there are a few people in that comic club who are just rubbish, but don't think about this kind of principle. ”
"Huh~~"
"However, it's too painful to update the words in a week like this!" Tang Xin sat heavily in his chair, his face listless.
"Are you qualified to say such things?" Li Xi sneered.
"You know how many issues you have stopped publishing this year? On average, you will have to take one issue off every month, have you ever thought about the sadness of your readers who can't even wait for a week to talk?"
"But I really can't draw! I feel like I've run out of talent and my inspiration. ”
"Perhaps, this is what the ancients said about Jiang Lang's talent! Maybe I shouldn't have embarked on the path of a cartoonist in the first place...... In that case, maybe I'll be a good fashion model by now!"
"Don't think about it so much, you have to recognize the reality, people like you, you can't take care of yourself, and you are easily deceived, you don't understand the world, and you don't draw comics...... You're going to starve to death!" Li Xi looked at her and said very seriously.
"Okay, do you have any other strange requests? I said them all and I refused, and then I will stay with you for the next five days, and before you draw a new comic, you don't want to approach your mobile phone, computer, or anything, and the network is all cut off. ”
"You're the devil!" Tang Xin jumped up suddenly.
"I'm a cartoonist, not a slave, I'm a human rights ......"
However, Li Xi in front of her just gave her a resolute and sharp look.
Gradually, Tang Xin's momentum weakened.
"Can I make a request, then? ”
"Say!"
"This journal called Manying, the last issue, and the previous issue, as well as the number of issues that will be published in the future with the reminiscence of the Rogue Kenshin, can you help me contact the friends you know in Luo Province, and mail it to me, oh, by the way, don't send that kind of ordinary express, directly by air, and the money will be deducted from my manuscript fee!"
Li Xichang let out a sigh and looked at Tang Xin's serious face.
"What kind of caricature is this, is it that good?"
"It's just a work in a local manga journal.......
"Of course it's good-looking......" Tang Xin turned the computer screen around and aimed it at Li Xi, as if a child was showing off his baby.
"Otherwise, take a look for yourself, only update to the third word, not a long ......."
......
On Monday, as soon as he walked into the comic club, Su Wei felt a strange atmosphere.
Almost everyone was secretly looking at her, and several colleagues who had been coldly treating her because of her discord with Song Jiayu before, also looked much better at her when they saw her today.
Su Wei understood what caused the strangeness she felt.
After the results of last Friday's comic voting came out, not to mention cuttlefish, even the editorial offices of two other comic clubs of the same level, Fengyu and Dragon's Tooth, also learned that on the comics, there was a work that was only serialized in two words, and tens of thousands of people voted for it.
In the past two days, many acquaintances in the circle have asked her about this.
Not to mention that outsiders think it is incredible, even Su Wei, the responsible editor of Chu Yu, could not have imagined that the situation would develop like this.
Rogue Kenshin Remembrance will be popular, this is in her conjecture, but she definitely didn't dare to think that this work would become popular so quickly.
"Su Wei, this is a letter from a reader, please submit it to Teacher Shui Xin. ”
When he came to his office, he was soon surrounded by a woman holding a whole box of letters with hundreds of letters on Su Wei's desk.
"So much?"
"Well, that's right, it's confirmed, these are letters sent by the fans of Shuixin teachers from all over Luo Province. ”
After the woman left, Su Wei stared blankly at the pile of fan letters on the table.
If the number of votes on the voting ranking text message is just a numerical value, I don't have too intuitive feelings.
The whole box of letters in front of him made Su Wei understand that the work of Rogue Kenshin Reminiscences is really popular.
It fully deserves the 14,000 votes cast in the last issue.
has been engaged in the editing industry for three years, Su Wei didn't think that he would be able to bring out a popular cartoonist under his command in the future, but this is too fast!
Two months ago, she was still annoyed by the exclusion of Song Jiayu for offending Song Jiayu in the comic club, and even wanted to give up this profession for a while, but now, with the popularity of Rogue Kenshin, her status in the comic club has naturally risen.
"Su Wei, the editor-in-chief came to talk to you. At this point, a colleague came in to inform her.
"Oh, understood, I'll be right over!"
Su Wei took a deep breath and responded.
Talk to me?
Su Wei didn't have to think about it to understand that it must be about Chu Yu's topic.
After all, last week's ranking results have made the entire cuttlefish understand that Shui Xin, that is, Chu Yu's potential.......
