I just want to draw cartoons quietly

"Hehe, upstairs, you are so naive! As the fans who chased after Rurouni Kenshin, I tell you that the reason why Teacher Shuixin didn't get into the pit for a short time was just to prepare for the huge pit behind... .Do it yourself!"

"I'm so excited. It's been a long time. I haven't encountered such a wonderful cartoon. You don't know that after reading the cartoon, my palms are sweaty. Although Tang Xin became famous earlier, but in my heart Teacher Xin is already the most talented manga artist in Shanghai........ Not to mention, although I scolded Teacher Shuixin for seven weeks, I blew up Teacher Shuixin and the initial characters D!"

........

With the release of the eighth chapter of Initial D, Chu Yu's Weibo fans skyrocketed again.

The number of online popularity votes on Water Edge journals continues to rise.

Although there is still a gap with the dream world, the gap is obviously narrowing.

Unlike Xuan Gui, who received thousands of bad reviews when the seventh chapter was released, the eighth chapter was accompanied by Shui Yuan's hairstyle, but on that day, there were hundreds of letters of encouragement from fans of Magic City.

The collapse of the plot of Initial D that the outside world expected did not happen. On the contrary, those comics that followed the trend of Initial D were serialized in the past few weeks, and their popularity was so low that they could not bear to look directly at them.

At this moment, all Longguo fans who are interested in racing car comics are focusing on the initial D.

After all, with the initial D Zhuyu in front, other similar comics can be seen at a glance, which is simply eye-catching.

........

The rave reviews of the eighth chapter, Initial D, did not shake Chu Yu at all!

It's just...the next day, Li Xi came to Chu Yu's house, in addition to telling Chu Yu that the popularity of both Natsume's Book of Friends and Initial D has increased...

He also informed Chu Yu that his Natsume's Book of Friends and Natsume's Book of Friends comics will be published separately.

After Chu Yu agrees, the contract is signed, and soon, related matters will be put on the agenda...

.......

Chapter 194 book release and animation

"Natsume's book of friends has basically finished negotiating with the company for the release of the manga booklet and the animation adaptation company?"

Chu Yu was also a little surprised when he heard the news, the speed was indeed faster.

"That's right!" Li Xi said.

Generally, for a company like Xuan Gui, the publication of a single book will definitely be on the agenda as long as the works in its water margin journals are a little popular.

If it is a very popular work, animation is also the norm.

In terms of the popularity of Natsume's Book of Friends, it goes without saying that animation and book release are certain things. The reason why I waited until now is only because the length of Natsume's Book of Friends was not long enough.

The copyright of works serialized in periodicals is basically jointly held by the comic company and the author. Generally speaking, the copyright operation is basically negotiated by the comic company sending a special person. After negotiating a satisfactory result for both parties, if the original author of the comic After I also agreed, soon after signing the contract, a series of tasks were immediately put on the agenda.

"Originally, Xuan Gui wanted you to come to the meeting to provide comments during the discussion, but you said you were busy and asked me to take charge of this matter on your behalf. Anyway, the general results of the discussion have come out now."

After Li Xi finished speaking, he handed a document to Chu Yu by the way.

After Chu Yu picked it up and looked at it, he basically focused on his own profits and the reliability of the other company's company.

The publication of the booklet is a large publishing company that has cooperated with Xuan Gui for many years. Its sales channels are all over the country, and it is basically reliable. It is just that Xuan Gui actually gave him [-]% of the royalties, which Chu Yu has no idea about. think.

After all, when Natsume's account of friends signed the contract, the royalties for the booklet stipulated above were only [-]%.

It seems that the people inside Xuangui are also very fond of Chu Yu. After all, with Chu Yu’s current status in the comics industry, [-]% is indeed a bit low, and it is really carried out according to the contract. They are afraid that Chu Yu will have some ideas, so they take the initiative to raise it. up the scale.

Maybe some people think that a difference of only [-]% makes no difference.

But in fact, for popular cartoonists, this [-]% profit is huge.

For example, take Tang Xin as an example. Her dream world has now sold 3000 million volumes in separate volumes, and the single volume is priced at 25 Longguo coins.

This 500% share ratio is calculated to be [-] million Dragon National Coins.

This is a huge sum of money that ordinary people can't earn in their lifetime.

And no matter what, Natsume's Book of Friends was once the third most popular on the water edge, and now it is the fourth.

After the single book is released for a period of time, the sales volume of tens of millions of copies will definitely be achieved, so calculate it.

This [-]% is also a lot of money for Chu Yu.

Although Chu Yu would not have any objections even if Xuangui took the initiative to perform the contract, Chu Yu still felt a little warm in his heart when Xuangui took the initiative to do so.

As for the animation producer of Natsume's Book of Friends......

This is also an animation production company that Chu Yu is very familiar with.

It is nine stars.

There are many animation companies that have a deep cooperative relationship with Xuangui, but because Chuyu’s comic editor is Li Xi, and because Li Xi knew many people from Jiuxing when Dream World was animated, there is this relationship, Jiuxing It is not surprising to be the animation producer of Natsume's Book of Friends.

As for the remuneration for animation production........

Anyway, that's it!Originally, there was not much money to be paid to the plot creators for animation production. In addition to the money, according to the contract, Xuan Gui would have to divide it into a part. Calculated, Chu Yu himself only got hundreds of thousands.

Of course........ Animation itself is not profitable for creators, but animation is very helpful for the popularity of the original work.

Generally speaking, if a comic wants to reach the top five popularity in journals like Shuiyuan, it can only be achieved by relying on the popularity growth brought about by the spread of animation.

Why does everyone in the manga circle in Shanghai think that Shui Xin is a freak.

That's because the entire Shuiyuan journal ranks among the top seven in terms of popularity, only Shuixin's initial D and Natsume's Book of Friends have not been animated yet.

But even under such circumstances, these two works are now ranked second in popularity on the edge of water, and the other is fourth.

Moreover, the animation will definitely have a huge boost to the sales volume of Natsume's Book of Friends. All in all... there are so many cartoonists in Longguo, so there must be a reason for expecting the animation of their works so much.

Chu Yu carefully read the various terms and conditions, and asked for about 10 minutes before putting down the documents.

"I don't think it's a problem!"

"Don't you have any request?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Are you asking?" Chu Yu pondered for a few seconds.

"As for the release of the manga booklet, I believe that a big company like Xuangui will definitely not make mistakes in this matter."

"As for the animation of Natsume's Book of Friends... I only have one request, if Nine Stars producer Huang Minghuang has time, try to let him be in charge of this work!"

"Huang Ming?" Li Xi was stunned for a moment!

"I forgot, you said earlier that you would co-finance two short comics with Huang Ming!"

"Listen, Huang works during the day, and works overtime at night and during the holidays to deal with your two works. You are doing well now.... You just want his work during the day to be about your works of........."

"I don't know whether Huang Ming is working for Jiuxing or for you Chu Yu..." Li Xi rarely teased Chu Yu.

"It's just that I have more contact with Huang Ming, and I have more trust in his ability and personality!" Chu Yu said.

"Anyway, I will report your request, but I can't guarantee the result!" Li Xi nodded.

"If you have no objections, maybe Xuangui will arrange a meeting between you and the other company's personnel to sign a contract in the near future."

"No problem!" Chu Yu nodded.

........

In the next few days, Chu Yu continued to create comics as usual, and then went to practice driving.

The only difference is that.......inexplicably, Chu Yu, Gu Yan, and Tang Xin's car training trip, in the end... always turned into a black driving trip for the three of them .

Anyway, Tang Xin chatted with Gu Yan, and the two of them seemed to have become good friends, exchanging driving experience and game skills together...

It's just that Gu Yan's game prowess is obviously growing rapidly.

At least, after a few weeks of hacking, Chu Yu's own tuba and the trumpets given to Tang Xin and Gu Yan were promoted from Black Iron Four to Black Iron Three.

At that moment, Chu Yu was really moved beyond words. He had played this promotion match more than a dozen times for such a long time, but he never succeeded.

Anyway, for some reason, Chu Yu, who had known Tang Xin for so long and had a handover with Gu Yan because of work, didn't get to know them well. On the contrary, after playing games together a few times, she somehow became acquainted with them.

At least the current Gu Yan and Tang Xin would chat with him on Weixin from time to time, just like those old friends.

Chu Yu felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

But no matter what, the current Chu Yu maintains such a state, devoting himself to the work of manga drawing and animation creation all day long.

A month has passed, and the time is approaching October.

Chu Yu also started school, and was officially promoted to a sophomore.

And the initial D is also serialized to No.12.......

........

Chapter 195

It was different from what those people in the cartoon industry who had a relationship with Chu Yu expected.

After the battle of Initial D with Keisuke Takahashi, the plot is as exciting as ever.

Takeshi Nakasato, leader of Myogi team night kids, officially challenged Fujiwara Takumi.

Takumi Fujiwara, who defeated Akagi Redsuns, and him 86 have already gained fame in Gunma County.

In the field of mountain road races in Gunma, the name of Akinayama's 86 is already very loud.

Under such circumstances, Takeshi Nakasato decisively challenged Fujiwara Takumi.

Soon, the news spread throughout Gunma County.

As for Takumi Fujiwara, although his attitude towards driving has changed after the battle with Keisuke Takahashi, in short, he still has no intention of becoming a racing driver.

But the rumor that Akinayama's 86 accepted Nakasato's challenge is because of the oolong caused by his flamboyant friend Mogi. As for Fujiwara Takumi, he was never prepared to fight with Nakasato Contest.........

It is a familiar slow-paced plot, but after the first game, the fans who saw the wonderful racing plot of Fujiwara Takumi and Takahashi Keisuke already have a strong tolerance for this work.

Of course, the memories of Nakazato and Takahashi Ryosuke’s gunpowder-flavored meeting, and why Nakazato opened the GTR32 and gave up the previous S13 also made fans sigh.

Takeshi Nakasato used to be a driver who firmly believed in his skills. He was invincible in Myogi with the S13, but since he met a driver who was not as skilled as him but defeated him just because he drove a 32, he finally understood.. ..... Riders have limits.

And he is going to use his GTR32 to defeat Akinayama's 86 and Akagi's Takahashi Ryosuke to dominate the horses.

Well........good idea, but so early in the game.

It is probably just a small boss in the early stage. Although the words are so full, they should all be setting the flag.

All in all, after a few episodes, fans of Initial D are still looking forward to the appearance of new enemies.

The suspense among them is, how can Fujiwara Takumi change his mind and participate in this competition...

With the hot serialization of Initial D, the popularity of this work is steadily rising, and the gap with Dream World is getting smaller and smaller.

Colleagues, after Chu Yu successfully signed the contract, the news of the book release and animation of Natsume's Book of Friends has also been released.

At this moment, Natsume fans in the entire Long Kingdom are boiling.

Although now, among Chu Yu's two serialized works, Initial D's score is the best, and even tends to reach the top of Shui Yuan, but that doesn't mean that Natsume's fans are much less than Initial D's. .

You know, in the manga world of Magic City, the female fans and stickiness of Natsume's Book of Friends even surpassed many shoujo manga, and the group of them immediately became excited when they heard the news.

After all, it is a serialized manga. Some people only discovered the interesting aspects of Natsume’s Book of Friends in the middle of the manga, or many people did not buy some issues of Mizuhara because of something, and did not watch many chapters. The release of the booklet will naturally solve the problem. the needs of this group of people.

And the production of animation...... Needless to say, the diehard fans of Natsume's Book of Friends have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

It's just that Chu Yu's request for Huang Ming to be the producer of this work was not realized in the end.

Because Huang Ming already had another animation serialized in Nine Stars, he really couldn't get out of it, but after communicating with Huang Ming, Nine Stars arranged for another producer named Xie Wei to be in charge of the animation of Natsume's Book of Friends.

Although this person is relatively young and has never been in charge of any large-scale animations before, according to Huang Ming, this person is also his friend. Although his abilities are a little worse than his, Natsume's Book of Friends is not the type of passionate battle after all. There are no money-burning scenes in the comics, and the overall rhythm is relatively slow, so Huang Ming also reassured Chu Yu that with his ability, Natsume's account of friends will not be turned into a scumbag.

As October approached, the production of [-] Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars was officially on the right track after nearly two months. At the same time, the production news of these two animations was released through Huang Ming go out.

Although due to financial reasons, Huang Ming did not carry out large-scale publicity......

But he asked Chu Yu to help promote it on his Weibo, even after Tang Xin saw it, because he was familiar with Chu Yu, he obliged to forward it......

But now Chu Yu has his own traffic. After these two works have a relationship with Chu Yu, they quickly spread in the Longguo animation circle and Chu Yu's fan group. Support, all of a sudden, these two animation works, which didn't even have a concept newspaper, also became popular in the Longguo comic circle.

In Longguo, Chu Yu not only has a bunch of comic fans, but also a group of animation fans. The influence of the unheard flower name a few months ago has not dissipated, and there are many cosplays of Meiko Honma at many comic exhibitions.

This group of people also became excited after seeing the two works produced by Shui Xinyou and the script creator.

It's just... [-] Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars, the names of these two works are as strange as unheard flower names, could it be that they are also as healing as unheard flower names?

........

"Teacher Shui Xin is a bit of a top ah. At the same time, he created two comics, Initial D and Natsume's Book of Friends, and he still has the energy to make two animations. Although it is only a short animation, judging from the information sent by that animation studio, Shui It seems that Mr. Xin is not just a simple plot creator, he seems to have really participated in a certain link of animation creation..."

"I think, in the future, Teacher Shui Xin's title can be changed to the sow in the animation industry. She is really high-yielding like a sow!"
