I just want to draw cartoons quietly

In the end, all the famous mountain drivers in autumn thought that the person driving the AE86 over Keisuke Takahashi was Fujiwara Takumi's father......

But on Saturday's scheduled final day, it was Takumi Fujiwara who was lured by his father's tank of gasoline.

86 up the mountain!

This is not only a stalk about the initial D in the parallel world, but also the beginning of Fujiwara Takumi's career as a racing driver in the comics.

In the following plot, it is the duel between Fujiwara Takumi's 86 and Takahashi Keisuke's FD......

Although it was just a name draft, which was similar to a manga draft, Li Xi still watched it attentively.

The appearance of a group of drivers from Chicheng REDSUNS, the vehicle drifting close to the road guardrail in the sketch, the handsome and artistic vehicle, the onlookers, the 86 bearing the dignity of Qiu Mingshan drivers......

The battle between Fujiwara Takumi and Keisuke didn't end until the tenth chapter of the manga, but Li Xi didn't feel procrastinated during the whole process.

Handsome drifting and flicking, Keisuke who was tense and dignified during the race, and Takumi Fujiwara who was always sticking to Keisuke on curves while driving with one hand in second gear, with a dull face......

There is a feeling of blood surging.

Li Xi personally doesn't like passionate works. In comparison, works like Natsume's Book of Friends are more in line with her hobbies.

But Initial D, even she seemed to find it interesting.

Although she was a little worried that Chu Yu's plot arrangement for Xia Shu would arouse readers' disgust, but aside from these, the rhythm of the initial D, the style of painting, and the plot are all very good.

Even in Li Xi's view, if the plot of this work unfolds, it may be liked by more fans than Natsume's Book of Friends.

After all, although female fans of Natsume's Book of Friends basically like it very much, the manga industry in Longguo is still dominated by male fans. This is also the limitation of Natsume's work.

If the Longguo manga industry is dominated by female readers, then it might not be a problem to double Natsume's performance.

But since the initial D is still born, if it can be serialized smoothly, then Chu Yu may be able to gain the attention of a large number of male fans with this work.

Li Xi let out a long breath, got up and tidied up his dress and some messy hair, and soon, an image of a professional elite with impeccable details reappeared.

"Work hard, Chu Yu..."

Li Xi picked up the manga manuscript, stopped and turned to look at Chu Yu before leaving.

"There are many cartoonists whose one work is amazing, the second work is unsatisfactory, and the third work tends to be mediocre!"

"But I have known you for more than a year, and I am not sure until now that you are not such a short-lived person."

"It is impossible for such a person to continuously create works such as Kenshin, Natsume, Unheard Hana, and Initial D."

Li Xi rarely talks about this with his cartoonists, but after seeing the first ten chapters of the work of Initial D, Li Xi finally couldn't help it.

"You may be the most talented cartoonist I have ever come into contact with... In time, you may be the pillar of Xuangui Comic Company."

"That's why you need to work hard. You didn't fall for lack of talent like those untalented cartoonists, so you shouldn't fall for lack of hard work!" Li Xi couldn't say too much.

I can only express my own experiences and feelings.

"Understood!" Chu Yu nodded.

"I am ashamed to say that as your manga editor, I have never given you too much advice and help in terms of manga plots, so...don't worry, just create manga with peace of mind! Initial D I will definitely help you get the chance to serialize this work!" Li Xi said seriously.

After finishing speaking, Li Xi left Chu Yu's residence without delay.

.......

After leaving Chu Yu's house, Li Xi drove home and took out the comic manuscript of the initial D to read it again.

There is obvious confidence on the beautiful face, and there are four vacancies for serialization on the water edge. If such a work cannot get a seat in the serialization of Shuixin, then the journal of Shuixin will not only sell millions of dollars a week .

.......

As for Huang Ming, during this period of time, he took advantage of his free time to visit one after another acquaintances in the animation industry that he had known over the years.

Bang bang bang!

"Who is it!" The door opened, and there was a fat man weighing at least two hundred catties in the room.

T-shirt, pajama pants, slippers, and the oily head with curly hair, and a mixed smell similar to houttuynia coming out of the room......

Huang Ming's eyes widened, and he held his breath decisively for a moment, without showing any expression on his face.

"Old Huang? What did you come to see me for?" The fat man's eyes were a little small, his chin was full of stubble, and he looked very sloppy.

"How about... find a place to talk?" Huang Ming said with a smile, but his face was a little red.

He could hardly hold his breath.

"Where can I find it? Just in my room? How troublesome it is to wash and dress when I go out! I haven't gone out for a week! I don't want to exercise too much!"

"Let's... find a place to talk, I'll wait for you downstairs!" Huang Ming didn't give the fat man a chance to explain, he went straight to the stairs, gasping for breath.

It was horrible. Huang Ming, who was a little bit obsessed with cleanliness, couldn't figure out why his friend could stay in such an environment.

In the past few years, this person was a well-known painting supervisor in Shanghai, and his professional ability is definitely strong enough. It was only because of a popular light novel three years ago that the work was changed because the producer was not good enough, the budget allocation was unreasonable, and the management of the animation company The reason for the confusion caused the animation effect to be very unsatisfactory, and it directly became a collapsed masterpiece.

However, in the face of the overwhelming criticism from fans of the original work, he, who had some social fear and psychological sensitivity, immediately shut himself down. In addition, the producer blamed him and the criticism from the company leaders. Since then, he has directly resigned and left He took the post of painting supervisor, rented a private house in Shanghai, and played games every day.

Of course, Huang Ming vaguely heard that he started to live in the house, and worked as a painter of irregular works on an irregular website. It is said that his works are famous for their delicate and seductive style, and there are many loyal fans on the Internet asking for updates.

Soon, Liu Jian, a fat man in his 30s, put on a suit, leather shoes and a tie and went downstairs.

If Huang Ming hadn't seen what he looked like 10 minutes ago, he might have thought that some company brought him to work.

The two found a coffee shop.

"Old Huang, haven't you seen each other for more than two years? What do you want from me?" Liu Jian asked.

"I want to make an animation work... I want to invite you to be in charge of a series of matters such as the painting of this work."

Huang Ming didn't tell anyone what position he was looking for, he just asked him to be responsible for something.

At that time, if someone can be found, assign him some subordinates, if he can't find him, let him do it himself!

"Old Huang, you know me....... The animation industry has been like a cloud for me. Now I just want to be a quiet nerd, playing games all day long, reading animation and comics, and adding Takeaway Coke is enough, why be so tiring..." Liu Jian waved his hand and said in a gentle tone.

"You are already 37 years old, how about you still be like this?" Huang Ming frowned.

"Being a man requires a bit of a dream!"

"What's wrong with being a salted fish? What about dreams? My dream is to be a nerd!"

Liu Jian seemed to have a good relationship with Huang Ming at the beginning. Although Huang Ming spoke too deeply, he was not angry at all.

"On the contrary, Lao Huang, the unnamed work you have produced during this period of time is really beautiful! I have been moved several times after watching it..."

"That's a coincidence... The work I want to make this time, the big boss is the unknown author Shui Xin..."

"Shuixin? Isn't the owner Jiuxing? The big boss...does he have a second boss?" Liu Jian looked at Huang Ming with a strange expression.

"That's right, the second boss is me!" Huang Ming took out the drafts of [-] Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars from his bag and handed them to Liu Jian.

For these two works, Chu Yu has already registered in Longguo, and the copyright has been registered, so Huang Ming is not worried about being copied if it is leaked out, and the people he contacts are all trustworthy. Otherwise, you won't be able to play with him.

"You haven't worked for three years! Your previous savings should be running out. How about you? Come and help me? I will be very strict as the boss. If you don't do well, I will scold you and spray you. But it doesn't matter if you Well done, well done, after the work is over, we are all the same as now, we are friends. Come here, maybe you will start a new animation life? No matter how bad it is, you can get a reward and be an otaku for a few more months , Delay the time to go out to find a job!"

"Teacher Shui Xin's new work..." Liu Jian looked at the work in front of him, and reached out to pick up the manuscript.

.....

An hour and a half.

Huang Ming walked out of the coffee shop in high spirits, and Liu Jian who followed behind him seemed to have a more confident expression.

In the following time, Huang Ming visited many people one after another.

Supervision, storyboarding, setting, music, art, color....

Many are professional talents, and some are all-rounders, who can take on multiple roles.

These people are either frustrated in the workplace, or people who have changed careers, and even former animation elites who are now convenience store owners.

But no matter what their current occupations are, at least once, they were all quite professional talents in the animation industry of Shanghai.

And best of all, none of them are very well paid.

......

The formation of an animation team takes considerable time.

During this time, Jiuxing's meeting on the serialization seat of Shuiyuan began.

Four vacancies, in addition to the three works cut in half, Thousand Stars Secret Realm, Chaos Star, Squirrel Girl, there is also a vacancy caused by the official completion of Crimson Abyss.

So in this serialization meeting, everyone's expression is not easy.

After all, after the end of Taizhu's work Crimson Abyss, the sales of Shui Yuan may decline before the rise of new Taizhu works.

Under such circumstances, the four seats in this serial meeting are particularly important.

Don't expect any amazing masterpieces to come out of these four works, but at least they must be above the average level. It is best to have one or two more interesting works to attract fans of the Crimson Abyss, so that they will not pass away too quickly.

Again, it can’t always be like the two works of Thousand Stars Secret Realm and Chaos Stars. Natsume’s Book of Friends, which was serialized at the same time as them, has already occupied the third most popular position on the water edge after the end of Scarlet Abyss. These two works are good, serialized at the same time , cut in half at the same time... The authors of the two works can be sworn brothers, such a fate.

At the serialization meeting, all the editors were sitting upright, among them Li Xi was undoubtedly the most powerful.

After the end of Crimson Abyss, Tang Xin's Dream World jumped to the number one spot on the water edge, and Natsume's Account of Friends under Li Xi's banner also stabilized at the third spot on the water edge. Location.

Such Li Xi naturally has the strongest aura among the many editors present.

Even Chen Chu, the editor of Dragon Soul, was a little weaker in front of Li Xi.

Of course, regardless of the achievements of the editors in the audience, the real boss of this serialization meeting is the old man Deng He, the editor-in-chief.

"Okay, let's start the meeting!" Deng He said.

Chapter 164 Meeting One

The serial meeting this time seems to be the same as before, but it is actually different.

After all, the completion of Zhou Qin's Scarlet Abyss serialization is a very influential event in the entire magic city comics world.

The readers of this work on the Internet are wailing, and Xuangui will also make adjustments to the operation of its journals according to the situation.

Although there has always been little difference in the popularity votes between Crimson Abyss and Tang Xin's Dream World in each issue of Shui Yuan Journal, but in terms of the influence of the two works across the country, Dream World is still the same. It is much worse than Crimson Abyss.

After all, Tang Xin loves to stop updating, and the serialization time of the work is not long, only two or three years.

In this case, facing the end of the Crimson Abyss, and the fact that Dream World wants to be a real leader and take on the role of the mainstay of the Shuiyuan Journal, the background of the works is not enough.

If Xuangui wants to maintain the sales volume of the journal, it will definitely promote many potential works during this period of time.

Anyway, the top works will definitely not be born for a while, so just serialize more works that are slightly worse.

For a work, the promotion of the comic club is very helpful to its final results.

Many cartoonists in Magic City have heard the news. If there are works with obvious potential among the four new works born at the Xuangui serial meeting, perhaps Xuangui will spend a lot of resources to push its popularity. Under normal circumstances, many fans of the original Crimson Abyss will be easily attracted by the propaganda of Xuangui's works. After all, the fans of Crimson Abyss are also old readers of Shuiyuan. keep it up.

Of course, after the end of Crimson Abyss, the promotional resources for this work will also be allocated to other projects such as Dream World, Dragon Soul, and Natsume's Book of Friends.

Therefore, during this period of time, Xuangui's internal intentions contributed a lot to this serial meeting. Many cartoonists felt that their works might be favored by Xuangui, and they might become popular after a short operation.

This has also resulted in the current serial meeting, many boxes filled with copies of manuscripts submitted by various cartoonists are piled up in the corner of the room.

Roughly, if there is one work every three episodes, then based on the amount of comic manuscripts in this box, at least [-] or [-] works will not have to be delivered.

And this is the situation that I have experienced a selection of works before, otherwise there will be more.

Just seeing the number of these works, the editors already understood that today's meeting may be a bit long......

"I heard that our company's serial conference has attracted many famous manga artists to submit their contributions!"

"Not only those, many old manga artists in Shuiyuan Journal have not heard any news about new works for nearly a year after their works were finished, but this time they all submitted applications for serialization of new works, such as Wu Xu and Li Youwei. , Cui Yuan, Mountain Rat, Docktail Fish, and others, some of them haven’t released any new works for almost two years, they already have experience, knowing that after the end of Crimson Abyss, Xuan Gui will definitely push some works, they They already have strength, and if the serialization goes well, their new work may be promoted by Xuangui, and maybe their popularity will rise to a higher level."

"However, I heard that Chen Chu is going to propose to serialize a work at this serialization meeting this time. Although the specific information and whose work it is is not clear, the above did not reveal the tone, but it is said that the senior officials of Xuangui read this After all the works are full of praise."

"I also heard that Li Xi seems to be planning to propose a serialization of a work at this meeting. It seems that the high-level executives also attach great importance to the work proposed by Li Xi."

"Our company is very good at keeping secrets. If the editor who proposes to serialize the work does not disclose the specific information of the work, the company's senior management will definitely not disclose a word of information. I don't know what the works submitted by Chen Chu and Li Xi are. Which two teachers' masterpieces, what kind of works..."

"Anyway, there are four serial seats, and the two of them proposed two works, so we still have a chance!"

Under the first seat, a group of editors discussed with each other the gossip they knew.

Li Xi and Chen Chu sat next to each other.

After the end of Crimson Abyss, these two are considered to be the most popular manga editors in Xuangui. According to Li Xi, the top three works of Shui Yuan's popularity vote last week, she is in charge of the No. [-] Dream World, and the No. .

And Chen Chu is the editor of the second most popular Dragon Soul.

"I heard that you, Li Xi, submitted an excellent work at this serial meeting. Which teacher's masterpiece is it? Can you tell me the news!"
