But Huang Yuan's decision was not explained to Liang Yu, he just said that the editorial department is looking forward to "Friends' Account", and there will be a plan to promote it next, and at the same time as the resumption of "Chess Soul", let her not forget to deliver the manuscript on time.

Liang Yu naturally couldn't refuse such a soft and private word, after all, the palms and backs of her hands were her own works, and she could only promise that she would go all out.

From the perspective of workload, "Chess Soul" only needs to create storyboards according to the content, while "Friends' Account" needs to be drawn from scratch by itself, and the workload of the two is self-evident, but the actual situation is just the opposite, because "Friends' Account" has the help of Xiaolin and others, but it takes more time to spend more time on the originally relaxed "Chess Soul".

The reason is very simple, because of the fact that she went to Margaret Lilyn this time, Liang Yu obviously felt a trace of estrangement between herself and Chen Nan before, if the situation is allowed to develop like this, she is worried that the crack will one day become a section that tears the relationship between the two, so she has to repair it as much as possible.

Thinking about it, for Chen Nan, any fancy language is not flattering, it is better to be practical in action, as long as the performance of "Chess Soul" is really improved, then the contradiction between the two will also be eliminated.

This is also the reason why Liang Yu spends a lot of time thinking about "Chess Soul".

However, the wish is good, but in practice, it makes Liang Yu scratch his scalp.

How can this really increase popularity?

For "Chess Soul", which has always been smooth sailing, this topic is quite far away, and Liang Yu remembers that it seems that they only discussed it seriously when Chess Soul was serialized at the beginning. At that time, Guo Pinyuan was very anxious about the poor results of "Chess Soul", for fear that he would not meet the requirements of the editor-in-chief, and "Chess Soul" would be beheaded.

But later, he followed Mr. Ye Chuan's advice, withstood the pressure and fully supported Liang Yu and Chen Nan, so that the clouds opened and the moon was bright, so that "Chess Soul" really gained a firm foothold in Fantasy. Since then, "Chess Soul" has entered a period of stability, and the ranking has never fallen out of the top ten, and Guo Pinyuan, who feels that he still lets them play freely, has never intervened again, and only gives a little of his own opinion at the appropriate time, that's all.

Later, when Chen Nan proposed that he wanted to let his works fight for rankings, Guo Pinyuan even raised objections to this, thinking that it was the right way to continue to boil out high-quality products at this pace.

So when he received a call from Liang Yu asking how he could quickly increase his popularity and ranking, he was quite surprised.

He instinctively felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to oppose it, but after listening to Liang Yu's explanation, he did feel that Liang Yu's concerns were not untargeted, and as an editor's position, it was a good thing that the author had the motivation to strive for a higher ranking, and he opposed it at first because Liang Yu and Chen Nan's opinions were not unanimous, but now that even Liang Yu has changed his attitude, he can't stop it, but this layer of unstable feeling makes his eyelids jump several times in a row.

Is it because of the recent lack of sleep......

pinched the bridge of his tired nose with his hand, Guo Pinyuan thought for a while and said: "Most of the popularity of comics still depends on accumulation, but there is no way to increase popularity in the short term (readers' votes), as long as you draw as good a plot as possible. Tide on it. ”

Indeed, whether it is a movie, animation, novel or comic, as long as it is a story, it is inseparable from the mode of beginning and ending.

And after experiencing the author's long layout and the entanglement of the relationship between the characters, the plot reaches a node, and the most exciting part is involved. Tide. The word sounds a little ambiguous now, but the truth is actually the same, and the simple summary is that if you let the reader read your story, they will naturally vote for you.

Liang Yu is not a novice who has just come out, and this truth is naturally understood, but in the past, the stories she created were all in accordance with the trend of the plot, and I felt that I had rewritten it, and it was time to draw it, and after arriving at the place, the plot was naturally led to the high. tide, has never deliberately created anything, such a story can be popular, obviously thanks to her natural grasp of the rhythm of the story.

But now, if you want to increase your popularity, you can't follow the old pace, you have to shorten the wiring process as much as possible to create a more refreshing plot.

But everyone will say that whether they can draw it or not is not scored, otherwise well-known authors and cartoonists should be all over the street, and for this reason, Guo Pinyuan, as an editor, also made difficulties.

Because there's really nothing to say about what he wants.

If the other party is a newcomer who doesn't understand anything, he can naturally give a lot of opinions, but the bad thing is that Liang Yu has been serialized for more than a year and has formed a distinct personal style.

After thinking about it, Guo Pinyuan couldn't give any better ideas, so he could only say to Liang Yu: "If it is to set the rhythm of the plot and create a high. If you are in the tide, there is a powerful character, you might as well go and ask him for advice. ”

"Who?"

"Gu Chengfeng."

The name Guo Pinyuan said was somewhat unexpected by Liang Yu, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt reasonable.

Gu Chengfeng is two years older than Liang Yu and one year older than Chen Nan, he made his debut after winning the Golden Apple Cup, dropped out of school to concentrate on drawing comics in the studio, it can be said that Chen Nan's decision was somewhat influenced by him, in Chen Nan's eyes, Gu Chengfeng, the opponent in Fantasy, can undoubtedly rank in the top three, and even be regarded as the biggest competitor.

This is not just that she was pressed when she submitted her manuscript, but "Chess Soul" has basically not surpassed him except for relying on the color head (roll head lottery, volume in the lottery), even the suppression of the most popular period in the early days of the animation did not last, and was overtaken by the "Dragon Sword" that came later. Especially in recent times, I feel that my whole soul is burning, and Gu Chengfeng, who has injected all his beliefs into the comics, is simply unstoppable, and his two works that were serialized on Fantasy at the same time have all entered the top three.

Some people say that it's because "Kenshin Ronin" ended recently, but in fact, everyone understands that this is just a decent statement, because even if the former is not finished, it will not be able to suppress this crazy monster at all.

With the popularity of the animation that started broadcasting in August, "Dragon Sword" has almost swept the major lists, and the sales of a single book have recently completely opened "Chess Soul" to the terrible number of 200W. You must know that this is a figure that only existed in the golden age, and now that the sales of comic magazines are not as good as before, it can be called a miracle - Gu Chengfeng's reputation is unshakable.

Even though it's a tease, it's also a very powerful tease.

hung up Guo Pinyuan's phone, Liang Yu flipped through the address book of her mobile phone, she remembered that she had indeed exchanged phone numbers with the other party, but she had never contacted each other.

Ah, found it.

Liang Yu didn't have that kind of childlike attitude, and immediately pressed the phone after finding the number and dialed out.

Doodoooo -

The phone rang three times, and then a very tired male voice came from the other side of the phone: "Hello? ”

"Teacher Gu Chengfeng, I am Liang Yu, the original author of "Chess Soul". Afraid that the other party would not be able to figure it out, Liang Yu also focused on introducing himself.

But obviously, it is impossible for Gu Chengfeng to forget this phone number.

"Teacher Liangyu, what's the matter?" If it was Gu Chengfeng before, it would be estimated that he would be short of breath and suffocated, but the change in his first Ah Zi was indeed a bit big, and I don't know if it was the failure of the marriage proposal on the hot spring trip that completely beat him, making him feel that he couldn't lift anything.

"So, Mr. Gu Chengfeng, I have recently encountered a bottleneck in the creation of comics, and I want to ask for advice, can I make an appointment to meet and chat?" Liang Yu hesitated slightly, but decided to tell the truth.

"You...... Offer me? Gu Chengfeng obviously didn't expect that the purpose of Liang Yu's call would be this, and his voice was a little out of shape.

"Well, if you don't have time, forget it."

"No, no problem, you can set a time." The other party said with certainty.

"How about Saturday afternoon the day after tomorrow, I have classes on my usual days." Liang Yugan smiled, obviously he asked the other party if he had time just now, but now he asked the other party to cooperate with him. Although he feels a little cheeky, Liang Yu has nothing to do.

Fortunately, Gu Chengfeng readily agreed: "OK." ”

"Then I'll call you then."

"Okay."
