I just want to draw cartoons quietly

"You haven't answered me yet, why do you have such an idea? A cartoonist may only have one memorable work in his lifetime, but Chu Yu, you have serialized two such works at the same time, why do you bother yourself? Wouldn't it be good to continue serializing two works honestly like this?"

Li Xi also sensed the firmness in Chu Yu's plain tone, so instead of colliding with Chu Yu on language, he analyzed the pros and cons for him.

"It took you two years to get Natsume's Account of Friends to the point where it is now the number one in water relationship, and the initial D is about to be broadcast as an animation. The potential of this work is beyond Natsume, and the popularity is still there There is a lot of room for improvement. If you can continue to serialize it, it will definitely become a classic work in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry. Maybe someone will mention it in 20 or [-] years........It's over like this Don’t you think it’s a pity? Even if you don’t care about these things, as for the income that these two works bring to you, if they are over, your income will definitely drop significantly.”

"The reason why I made this choice is precisely because I want these two works to become classics in the hearts of fans, so that they won't be dragged on for a long time...... Besides, Li Xi, you are always worried about So much? It’s true that I decided to end two popular works, but have you ever thought that I will create more and better comics?”

"But you are already the number one in Shuiyuan? Even if you create better works? It's nothing more than surpassing yourself? You still have to take such a big risk? What are you planning?"

"Shuiyuan is number one? It's just that the popularity reached this level in one period." Chu Yu looked at Li Xi, he was not underestimating himself, he was just telling a fact.

"And even if I am stable in the water edge in the future, it is not the end of my life goal!"

"It's just a new beginning!"

"I am confident that I will be able to create even better works after completing the two works... So Li Xi, I hope you can also have confidence in me!"

Naturally, Chu Yu and Li Xi can't explain so much. In her opinion, Chu Yu is a wonderful manga. The plot creation is as simple as eating and drinking. It is only a matter of Chu Yu's willingness to serialize these two works to the end of time. .

After all, it is risky to start a new work, so many cartoonists are so eager to open new works that grandma doesn’t even know him anymore. Although Li Xi doesn’t think Chu Yu is that kind of cartoonist, who would do something high-risk without doing anything wrong? ?

But the actual situation is that Chu Yu is following the length of the original works, and these two works will not be long. What Li Xi wants is for Chu Yu to turn these two works into something seven or eight years or ten years long. Chu Yu definitely couldn't do it.

Li Xi looked at Chu Yu's expression, and her head started to hurt. She could see that Chu Yu's will was very firm.

And she couldn't find any reason to persuade Chu Yu. After all, Chu Yu had obviously taken all the risks into consideration before he brought up this matter with her. Not only was it useless to talk about it, but it would also arouse Chu Yu's resentment.

"Since you are so persistent, I won't say anything. I will convey your thoughts to the company, but you have to be prepared...the opposition from the company will be even stronger!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu said seriously.

Chapter 271

What I told Li Xi was correct. Xuan Gui reacted violently when he heard the news that Chu Yu wanted to end the two comics.

What are you playing, Shui Xin?

Two highly popular cartoons of Longguo, have you got your head on it yet?I really wanted to finish both works.

Don't you know how much popularity and income these two works will bring you if they continue to be serialized?

Deng He, the editor-in-chief of Xuangui, also felt a headache after hearing what Li Xi reported to him.

As soon as he heard it, he knew what was going on. In his life, there were many people who met such people. In the season when their works became popular, but because of Wenqing's illness, or ideals, or other reasons, the After the work is finished, start a new work.

But nine out of ten people like that regret it later.

Chu Yu's talent is now recognized by Xuan Gui and even the entire comics industry. While serializing two comics at the same time, he still has the energy to produce three popular animations.

Deng He also believes that even after Chu Yu finishes the two comic works, he can continue to create good comic works.

But Xuangui is a commercial company, and what a commercial company has to do is to minimize the risk.

Even if Chu Yu can create another work of the same level after finishing the two works, so what?It's not necessary...and this kind of thing is not absolutely sure, what if the new work is really rushed?

But in the contract signed by Chu Yu and Xuan Gui, there was no clause restricting Chu Yu's timing of finishing the work. In this case, after all, Chu Yu paid special attention to such pitfalls when signing the contract. Desperate to complete the two works, Deng He and Xuan Gui have nothing to do.

I won't be retiring in a few months and this guy is giving me a hard time.

Deng He sighed and called Li Xi over.

"Chu Yu's request is difficult for us to accept. At least half of the people in the Water Edge journal are following his two works now. If he finishes both works, the impact on the journal will be too great, but From what you said, his attitude is very firm...but he is a young man after all, anyway, there is still half a year left, so please persuade him and let him change his mind!"

"Then what if Chu Yu insists on doing this?" Li Xi looked at Deng He.

"That's why I asked you to persuade him more!" Deng He looked at Li Xi.

"Let's think about this issue when you don't listen to persuasion!"

"No...this question is very important. What I'm asking is, what if he really can't be persuaded?" Li Xi looked back at Deng He without flinching.

She also hoped that Chu Yu would listen, but reason told her that it might be difficult.

So this question is not only related to the way she and Chu Yu will get along in the future, but also related to Chu Yu's views on Xuan Gui in the future. Li Xi must know the meaning of the above and make preparations early.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

"Then what else can we do?" Deng He suddenly laughed, breaking the deadlock.

"It's impossible to make enemies with Chu Yu and him!"

"Then let him do what he wants, but at that time, the new editor-in-chief of Xuan Gui will have a headache. You know about my affairs, and I will retire soon... My opinion is that instead of entangled It is better to focus on his future potential for the value he has shown so far. If he is not allowed to complete the two works, which leads to a gap between him and Xuan Gui and agrees to his request, bet that he will create better ones in the future. If I had to choose one of the two works, I would choose the latter anyway..."

"And I will also convey my thoughts to the company's senior management before I retire, but how they consider... I can't decide."

"Understood." Li Xi heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

She also agrees with what Deng He said, and for her, she also has the same idea.

Li Xi is just conservatively admonishing Chu Yu on this matter. From the standpoint of an employee, she is willing that Chu Yu will not be impulsive, but play steadily, let the two works continue to accumulate popularity for him, and let Chu Yu start when the time is right. New work.

But from a personal and friend's point of view, Li Xi supports Chu Yu's decision.

If Chu Yu's goal is not only to reach the top of Xuangui, but to go higher, then indeed, the two works of Initial D and Natsume's Book of Friends are not enough.

If you only compare the top works of the seven serial works in Shanghai except Tianji and Water Hedgehog, compared with the pillar works of the other four, Natsume's Book of Friends may be a little worse, but the initial D is definitely worth it any one.

But compared with the top three works in the two comic journals of Tianji and Water Hedgehog, it may have something to consider.

But this has nothing to do with the quality of the work, but with the subject matter.

Although Initial D is also a bloody work, compared with the simple and crude bloody fighting works, it suffers from the subject matter.

This is not only the case with Dragon Kingdom, even among the origins of system works, they are truly popular all over the world. The super-class works are all fighting works. At best, it is a slam dunk that is quite different.

In Longguo, there is also such a trend. Everyone has such a perception that super-class comics must be works of bloody battles.

Li Xi felt that if Chu Yu really wanted to leave a name in the Longguo comics world and become a cartoonist who would influence a generation, then his idea of ​​opening a new work as soon as possible was correct, and he had to move closer to the bloody battle comics. is reasonable.

It's just that...all the outstanding cartoonists of that type have been won over by Tianji and Water Hedgehog. Tang Xin's dream world is enough to see the bloody battle works on the edge of the water, even if Tianji and Water Hedgehog The editorial team of all recognized its quality, and the fighting works created by other comic authors are second-rate.

There is even such a saying in the Dragon Kingdom comics world.

If you want to become a first-class cartoonist, you can go to the Seventh University of Shanghai, but if you want to become a first-class cartoonist, you must go to Tianji and Water Hedgehog.

Whether the platform of Shuiyuan Journal can have such an environment for Chu Yu to realize his goal, Li Xi is not sure.

After all, the readers of Shuiyuan have too many tastes, and miscellaneous means that every work has an audience, but any work... can't be the strongest.

First-class battle comics, first-class love comics, first-class reasoning comics, first-class horror comics of Dragon Kingdom have been born in the Water Edge Journal...

However, there are very few comic works that can be called household names and super popular. They have been published for decades. Inclusiveness is its advantage, but it is also a factor for its continued upward development.

.........

In the next period of time, Chu Yu became busy again.

Today, he is also slowly learning the relevant knowledge of animation production, not learning the production skills, but learning how to accurately convey his intentions to his subordinates.

After all, as long as any information is transmitted through the medium, the meaning it expresses will be lost.

System works came to this world through the medium of Chu Yu, so it must be different from the original works.

But whether this discrepancy develops in a good direction or in a bad direction, it all depends on Chu Yu's level.

So Chu Yu also has to learn how to make the members of the animation team understand what he means, but fortunately he is also a poor student majoring in animation production. It's easy to learn, and Huang Ming also sees that he is willing to learn, so he spares no effort to teach him, so the progress is quite fast anyway.

And under such circumstances, May passed like this.

Gu Yan's side, after signing a contract with the T-bone animation company, gradually became busy and couldn't find a chance to meet Chu Yu.

This made Gu Yan feel quite a pity... After all, on the second day of the birthday party, when Gu Yan left, he wore the coat Chu Yu gave her and took Chu Yu's umbrella along with him, that's all. ...... She has a reason to come to Chu Yu to return the items twice, and then meet with Chu Yu twice.

Sometimes Gu Yan also feels that she is really miserable. When other girls chase boys, the boys just say no, but when the body hormones rise, they are very honest, so often the female friends around her will chase boys instead. ....... It seems that it is basically done within half a month.

But Chu Yu's hormones are only stimulated when he is playing games, or when he is watching cartoons, his eyes don't blink, and he can't hear a few shouts.

If Gu Yan didn't take the initiative to attack, he would find something to chat with Chu Yu Weixin at night, make occasional phone calls, and take the initiative to seek out Chu Yu, that guy could disappear in Gu Yan's world in a month.

Just like now, she didn't have time to find Chu Yu for a few days, but that guy didn't even make a phone call.

This situation will inevitably make Gu Yan a little frustrated, am I so unattractive?

..........

Chu Yu in June devoted herself wholeheartedly to the creation of comics and animations.

On Xuangui's side, they sent people in turn to persuade Chu Yu to continue serializing the two works, but Chu Yu politely expressed his intentions to them again.

Both sides were at a stalemate. As for the animation production of Magical Girl Madoka, it has also entered a good stage. With the previous successful examples of 2000 Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars, it is very easy for Huang Ming to find someone this time. Although, Magical Girl Madoka Yuan's investment is only [-] million, which is not a particularly large animation production.

However, in the current animation world, the word "Shui Xin" is worth a thousand dollars. After all, Natsume's Book of Friends, which was broadcast in April, has been serialized until now, and there are still three episodes to finish, but the average broadcast volume of each episode has reached 600 million, and it is heading towards 700 million. the trend of.

The animations broadcast in Longguo's animation market this year are based on the ranking of the average number of episodes played. Needless to say, the first and second places are naturally [-] Centimeters per Second and Natsume's Book of Friends.

As for No.3 on this list, there is an animation in June that has a relatively strong momentum, and it may also hit an average of 700 million episodes. It is still on the rise, and it is unclear who is higher in the final score between Natsume's Book of Friends and Natsume's Book of Friends, but if it is only a temporary ranking of the average broadcast volume of episodes, Natsume's Book of Friends is now ranked third this year.

Basically, in the animation market of Longguo in the first half of this year, even if Natsume’s Book of Friends is squeezed out by the animation in June, other works will not pose a threat to Natsume’s Book of Friends. Anyway, among the top four animation works, Chu Yu is at least It will occupy three animations, either one, two or three, or one, two or four.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to underestimate the animation studio of Chu Yu and Huang Mingyan?

Even if Magical Girl Madoka can’t reach the height of [-] Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars due to the subject matter, it’s fine to make it into the top ten animations of the year. How many people have found ways to join in such works but haven’t had a chance yet?

Even many media are commenting, if Madoka Madoka Magica can finally make a breakthrough in the cruel October animation market, should the animation market in Dragon Kingdom be renamed the Year of Water Heart this year?

However, the most intense competition in the Longguo animation market is basically in the second half of the year, and most of the best works are born in the second half of the year, so it is still too early to talk about this.

But at least, no matter which company's animation producers are now, they keep Shui Xin's information in their hearts. Many companies that have animation works born in the second half of the year even regard their own works' ability to exceed the speed of [-] centimeters per second as a result. slogan.

And just like that, it's mid-June.

The animation production of Initial D has also officially started, and the production company, in order to better complete this work, asked Chu Yu, the original author, to serve as a work consultant in the past.

To this... Chu Yu also agreed.

After all, it is difficult to fully display the dynamic details in a static picture, and the group of animation production members may not be able to accurately comprehend the details. Although Chu Yu is not the original author, he can do the animation of the initial D and the movie version of the work. Seen in the system space, it is not difficult to express some classic scenes according to gourd paintings.

It's just that the T-bone animation production company that produced the initial D seems familiar.

Chu Yu thought about it... Isn't this the company that Gu Yan took over for the animation dubbing role?

If Gu Yan knew what Chu Yu was thinking at the moment, he would be very happy.

This guy actually noticed the content of her work. If it was before, Chu Yu would definitely not remember these things. Maybe Gu Yan would have a strong confidence in his heart......

Chu Yu continued to look at the other party's profile sent by Li Xi, the producer... Xia Yin.

Hmm, I've never heard of a name, but the owner of this name should be a woman, which is really rare.

Female Animator.......

Chu Yu looked at it casually, and replied to Li Xi, the other party's request is no problem, and he will find time to go to the other party's company every weekend in the future.

Chapter 272 Another Reward

"In that case, I'll take you there tomorrow to get acquainted with the other party!" Seeing that Chu Yu agreed to this matter, Li Xi said directly without ink marks.

"Tomorrow? So soon?" Chu Yu was a little surprised.

"Didn't you say that you plan to take time to go to the other party's company every weekend? Tomorrow is the weekend!" Li Xi said.

"Anyway, there shouldn't be anything going on tomorrow, just to get to know each other."

"Alright then!" Chu Yu thought about it and agreed to Li Xi's suggestion.

Anyway, he has nothing to do tomorrow, and he will meet sooner or later.

"Then I'll wait for you downstairs at your house at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. You should prepare early then!"

After speaking, Li Xi also hung up the phone.

Chu Yu also started creating comics afterwards.

However, due to the busy schedule during this time, Chu Yu temporarily neglected to pay attention to the results of his comics.

But in fact, Initial D fans have been waiting for a long time for today's water edge release.

The so-called life feels like a year, it is talking about the mood of the fans of the initial D this week.

Because according to the plot of the previous episode, the battle between Takumi Fujiwara and Ryosuke Takahashi will end in this episode.

Takahashi Ryosuke, the big boss who has been serialized as the initial D until now, finally challenges Akinayama's 86 at the end of the plot in this chapter.

Therefore, fans of Initial D are looking forward to this plot, and many Liangjie fans also hope that the protagonist Takumi will lose.

Takumi's opponents who appeared in the previous chapters were all present to watch the battle, and the corners of Mt. Akina were crowded with people.
