I just want to draw cartoons quietly

After taking a bath, her body was a little damp, her white shirt was stuck to her body, and her pair of snow-white legs were dangling. Seeing that Chu Yu just got up now, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

When she woke up, she wanted Chu Yu to go exercise with her. After all, Chu Yu usually stays in the studio drawing manga and animation, and then stays at home and plays games. Life is extremely nerdy, but the workload is also huge. Although Chu Yu is very strong in some aspects, she still feels that Chu Yu's lifestyle is very unhealthy.

But once Chu Yu is not under the pressure of work in the morning, she can't shout at all, and she can't help it!

"Didn't you have a studio dinner today? It's too late to get up now!" Gu Yan asked while heating up the takeaway that he had ordered earlier in the microwave.

"That's what happened at night, what are you thinking about now?"

Chu Yu looked at Gu Yan's long legs walking back and forth in front of him, and the drowsiness of getting up completely disappeared. Gu Yan had no work arrangements today, so Chu Yu also asked.

"Do you want to go? Party tonight!"

"Forget it, go on your own! I'm not a member of the production team of White Album 2, so it's not good to just run over!"

"What are you thinking about so much? Just go there as my girlfriend!" Chu Yu hoped that Gu Yan would go with him.

"Forget it, let's get drunk with you in the past, who will take care of you when both of you are drunk?" Gu Yan couldn't help complaining when he remembered Chu Yu's drunkenness last time.

"This time...it won't happen!" Chu Yu's expression froze.

After all, he vomited in front of his girlfriend, and he still felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't talk about it and changed the subject.

"Then let's go out together later!"

"What's the matter?" Gu Yan looked at Chu Yu curiously.

"Isn't it just a week from now? I mentioned it to you before, isn't it the [-]th anniversary celebration of Tianji Comic Club? The news I got from the editor is to try to dress formally. The two of us will go buy a few dresses together and do it first Get ready!" Chu Yu said.

Of course, these are all excuses, he just wanted to go shopping when he was bored, otherwise it would be easier and more direct to transfer the money to Gu Yan and let her buy it by herself, and buy it for herself by the way.

And....... After being with Gu Yan for a long time, he found that his clothing addiction has been cultivated. He doesn't care what he wears, but he always likes to buy some clothes for Gu Yan to match... ...

At home, Chu Yu bought dozens of indescribable clothes for Gu Yan, and now, he is also very interested in Gu Yan's daily clothes.

Of course, Gu Yan didn't really care about Chu Yu's strange hobbies, they regarded them as the love between lovers, but she didn't realize how much Chu Yu's mood would rise after she changed her clothes... ...

But when Chu Yu said that she was going to buy a dress, she was a little serious.

After all, Chu Yu is now different from before, and basically meets fans at any time while walking on the road.

According to what Chu Yu said, there seemed to be a lot of people coming to the Tianji Comic Club's anniversary celebration, and there would be various reporters coming to interview. If Chu Yu still dressed casually like usual, it would be inevitable that he would be caught by the news and be led by those who cared. .

Moreover, she didn't want to bring negative news to Chu Yu, and it was a good thing for both herself and Chu Yu to dress up beautifully.

"Then... after you finish eating, shall we go together?" Gu Yan looked at Chu Yu and said!

Chapter 455 An Ordinary Day

"How is it? Do you feel good?"

I have to say that whether the clothes look good or not has nothing to do with the clothes themselves, it all depends on the face and figure.

Gu Yan, who was tall himself, came to the store to try on a few dresses, but Chu Yu couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Now she is wearing a black dress, her hair is pouring down, her neck and collarbone are exposed, her arms and calves are loomingly hidden in the material of the skirt, although she has never seen her wearing this kind of clothes before, but now she looks like It really has the feeling of stars attending a banquet on TV.

Moreover, this is a real person leaving the country without makeup, without all kinds of weird retouching.

To be honest, Chu Yu even felt that it was a waste for Gu Yan to become a voice actor, and it might be better to develop in the film and television industry.

Compared with it, Chu Yu looked ordinary, and she changed from a handsome face to a three-point swing after wearing a suit on her body.

Fortunately, Chu Yu has a good frame and is tall enough. Although he doesn't exercise, his body development is still much above the average line of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Not bad...very good!" Chu Yu's words were simple and direct!

"Is there nothing else you said besides saying this? It feels too perfunctory!" Gu Yan was also prepared to hear Chu Yu's various compliments on her.

But after changing three or four sets of clothes, Chu Yu always made such comments.

Although the shopping guide lady next to her was still smiling, she still felt weird about the couple Chu Yu and Gu Yan.

The man seems to be rich, and he doesn't even raise his eyebrows when he hears the price of these dresses. He is not the same as those middle-level office workers who come to buy a decent dress to attend the meeting held by the boss or the company. Know how to make girls happy!And the girl is so beautiful, but she seems to attach great importance to the boy's opinion when she is with the boy, and the look in her eyes is not deceiving. I really like this boy.

But what about these things?Anyway, she was just an ordinary employee, and she took the commission to eat. After seeing that Chu Yu and Gu Yan seemed to have moved their expressions, she stepped forward and asked.

"Have you made up your mind, sir?"

"Well, yes..." Chu Yu originally wanted to let Gu Yan try a few more, but in order not to waste too much time on it, Chu Yu happily decided.

"Then may I ask if you are ready..."

"Pack up everything you've tried just now!" Chu Yu said.

Gu Yan next to her was speechless, she knew what was going on, did she need to buy so many sets just to attend a celebration?This guy just wants her to show him how to wear it at home.

As a girl, Gu Yan really finds it difficult to understand Chu Yu's thoughts. Do all boys have this kind of uniform plot?And the dress doesn't seem to be a uniform, but sometimes Chu Yu would stop and take a look at the bridal shop... Gu Yan was very sure that Chu Yu was definitely not thinking about marriage at that time, but rather I was thinking about other bad things.

After leaving the dress shop, Chu Yu took Gu Yan to a hot pot restaurant and then went to watch a movie. It was a rare shopping and date for the two of them.

I deliberately chose a horror movie to watch. Chu Yu originally thought that Gu Yan would grab his arm and yell like the one on TV, but the facts have proved... For the young man who dared to run to the graveside in the countryside at night Gu Yan, who was catching fireflies, said that horror movies are nothing new. Not only did he look calm the whole time, he even felt that the movie was boring and ran out to buy two extra buckets of popcorn.

But after Chu Yu was about to drive to participate in the celebration party of the White Album 2 creative team, she finally couldn't hold back Chu Yu and was forced to go to the scene together.

To be honest, for Gu Yan, she has participated in the creation of many works of Chu Yu, and has participated in such parties many times. Basically, she is very familiar with the people in Chu Yu Animation Studio, and she also talked to everyone at the party. There are laughing ones.

Moreover, Gu Yan's girlfriend was at the scene, and the people in the studio couldn't force Chu Yu to drink, so Chu Yu was spared tonight.

Seeing this, everyone changed to drinking Huangming wine.

However, Huang Ming, an old drunkard, is not stupid. If one person comes up to get him a drink, if dozens of people are like this, the Dionysus will also fall down. He simply gathers a bunch of people together to play cards and drink... .. In the end, a large group of people were drunk.

In the end, Chu Yu and Huang Ming opened a room in a nearby hotel for everyone to stay in. After all, who knows what accidents will happen when they go home drunk.

At night, Chu Yu and Huang Ming were sleeping in a double room. Gu Yan himself was drunk, and Chu Yu was a little embarrassed. He brought her here to join in the fun. He thought she was fine, but when the atmosphere heated up , who can be exempt, and they are all friends from the animation production team that they knew before, and they drank a lot, so now let her rest in the next room, so as not to disturb her, Chu Yu came to chat with Huang Ming by himself.

"Brother Chu, have you thought about how to develop in the future?" Huang Ming talked a lot after drinking.

"How did it develop!" Chu Yu asked back.

"It's just that you should think clearly now! What direction will our studio develop in the future! And there is... the focus of your work!" Huang Ming said.

"The first season of White Album 2 ended last night. Unsurprisingly, it created a wave in the animation industry. To be honest, I, Huang Ming, admire you for this... just take it out There are no works that have a bad response. The difference is that the work is the type that explodes at the beginning, or the type that is slow to heat up! I read your comic about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure that was serialized by Tianji Comic Club, and I'm afraid it's the same. With your character, how can you be so focused on a worthless work? This work has been slow for so many months, and it must have erupted more violently than everyone imagined, am I right!"

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing, and what's the relationship between comics and the development you mentioned?" Chu Yu said modestly.

"Why doesn't it matter? With your current income in the animation industry, why bother to continue drawing manga..." Huang Ming said.

Chu Yu also understands Huang Ming's meaning. Most of Chu Yu's current income is basically brought by the production of animation, and although animation production is also tiring, compared to Chu Yu who is responsible for the general work of comics alone, the division of labor is clear. Animation production is indeed easier for him than comic work, and he earns a lot more money. From Huang Ming's point of view, or Huang Ming's point of view from Chu Yu's point of view, he feels that he gave up comics to turn Attacking the animation industry is even more profitable.

After all, works like Natsume's Book of Friends and Initial D are serialized to the comic club. Although the comics make a lot of money, Chu Yu has to share a large part of the work adaptation and peripheral profits. Compared with it, Chu Yu is actually at a loss.

"This kind of thing is just a hobby..." Chu Yu naturally knew this very well in his heart.

However, unlike Huang Ming who only considered income, Chu Yu considered other things.

The work is serialized on the comic platform. First, it harvests a wave of comic readers’ popularity, changes it to animation, and harvests a wave of animation fans’ popularity. The world points converted from these things can be exchanged for works in the system space, although Chu Yu is now He didn't use these things, but Chu Yu knew it very well.

He will use it one day!

Chapter 456 Talk

The more you save now, the less control Chu Yu will have when the time comes.

Moreover, if there is one more platform to serialize works, then one more platform to obtain system rewards.

It's like exchanging the two S-level rewards for the rebellious Lelouch and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Chu Yu got them all by relying on Xuangui's serial comics.

The initial D and Natsume's Book of Friends not only earned him enough exchange rewards in the comics, but also made a wave after adapting them into animations.

But in terms of monetary income, almost half of Chu Yu's current assets of nearly [-] million are earned from animation, but almost half of the exchange rewards Chu Yu received were accumulated from the creation and development of comics.

Huang Ming only considers money gains, so he naturally thinks that Chu Yu’s works will make more money if he develops them himself, but what Chu Yu thinks about is never money gains, but how to make the snowball bigger , redeem more works from the system.

With a work, do you still have to worry about money?

Therefore, Chu Yu will definitely not let go of the comics, and Chu Yu will also grasp the animation.

But in fact... It's not that comics don't make money without animation. The main reason for this is that the income is divided by comics clubs and various partners, so it seems to be less. If Chu Yu also engages in animation, Be your own boss and start a comic company, from comics to animation, to games, peripheral development one-stop service......

Chu Yu thought for a while, and suddenly felt that it was boring, drawing a manga is already so tiring, why do you still want to engage in the industrial chain?At that time, there will be no time to create works, so what can the industry chain do? Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?

Moreover, comics are different from animations. Animations can be quickly noticed by the audience with the help of TV and the Internet platform. However, it is not a matter of one day to get through the channels of comics... physical books, and it costs money. Chuyu has such a fortune. If it really smashed into the Dragon Kingdom comics world, it probably would have caused a splash.

Chu Yu's biggest advantage is self-knowledge, so this idea is just a matter of thinking, unless there is no other way and is forced to a dead end, otherwise Chu Yu doesn't want to be so tired just to make more money!There is no time to spend money, so what are you doing to make money?

"Forget it, anyway, you have an inexplicable obsession with manga, bro, so I won't say anything!" Huang Ming almost understood Chu Yu's meaning after hearing Chu Yu's tone.

"What's more... To be honest, many companies have come to you during this time, and the intentions are not very good. Let me tell you."

"What's the situation?" Chu Yu doesn't care much about business, he is a novice in this area, and he doesn't have so much time.

"It's nothing more than some large companies. Seeing that our studio is doing well, they come here to discuss some cooperation matters." Huang Ming paused and said to Chu Yu.

"Cooperation? How to cooperate?" Chu Yu asked.

"For example, some game companies came to ask us to do some custom animations for games. They gave us a lot of money, but they had popularity and playback requirements, and they clearly asked you to be the script creator. I directly refused... ...these companies are here to take advantage of your popularity!"

"There are also some large animation companies asking if you have the idea to join them and merge into their companies. They provide more abundant resources to promote and develop your works, and then occupy a certain amount of copyright and revenue sharing. What is the meaning of cooperation? Win, just ask to tie you to their company for a long time!" Huang Ming's tone was a little unnatural.

In Longguo, there are many small animation studios like this, but basically like Chu Yu, the studio is the only one that produces classic works one after another.

These animation studios generally either grow and develop in the direction of independent animation companies, or after they have a certain strength, they join a large platform, or a company, or a video website to achieve a win-win situation, of course... ..The benefits must be divided, but it is much better than purely working part-time.

After all, relying on large animation companies, although sacrificing part of the right to speak, you can also use the resources of these companies to get more exposure for your works. For example, you can control 100% of the profit of 200 million and share 60.00% of the profit of 40.00 million. Although Lost [-]% of the income of the work, but the total income is much higher than before, so many people are willing to do this!

Seeing that Chuyu's copyist animation studio is in such a hurry, many large animation companies in Longguo naturally have ideas for him.

Animation companies like Nine Stars and T-Bone that have cooperated with Chu Yu have already talked about this matter with Huang Ming many times, and several other giant animation companies in the Dragon Kingdom have also asked Huang Ming to help them connect.

After all, Chu Yu's truth is too nerdy, and there are only a few people in the whole magic city who can help to talk!

"Let's forget about this kind of thing!" Chu Yu thought for a while and said directly.

After all, those studios seek cooperation from big companies because of their lack of strength. After all, sometimes, good works without exposure will also be dusty.

However, Chu Yu’s situation is special. He himself developed from a cartoonist, with his own traffic, and the quality of the works he produced is also top-notch. What kind of cooperation does he have with these companies?It is nothing more than the fact that these companies have more channels for the development of works, and can maximize the benefits of works through multiple channels.....

For example, rebellious Lelouch, Kaguya-san, and Magical Girl Madoka are popular works. If they are handed over to an experienced company in the industry, they may earn a lot of money, but the share is actually limited. I also feel uncomfortable when my own unique works are inserted by other companies!Chu Yu has suffered from Rurouni Kenshin... If it weren't for the copyright issue, and he was too lazy to negotiate peace with the cuttlefish, otherwise Chu Yu would have spent money on the reminiscence animation of this work Come out, not to mention making money or not, Chu Yu can feel a strong sense of accomplishment just by restoring the classics to this world!

Huang Ming nodded upon hearing this.

His thoughts are almost the same as Chu Yu's, and he feels that having more freedom in creation and control of works is more important than earning more money.

However, if these things came to Chu Yu, he would definitely tell Chu Yu about it. After knowing Chu Yu's attitude, he was relieved.

But... Huang Ming frowned.

"Brother, your thinking is similar to what I think. Other companies are okay, but there is one company that is more troublesome!" Huang Ming hesitated, and finally said.

"Trouble, what do you mean?" Chu Yu asked.

"It's Tianxing Animation! This company has sent people to look for me twice, and they are very interested in acquiring our animation studio!"

"Acquisition, isn't it cooperation?" Chu Yu asked.

"It's the acquisition! I rejected it directly, knowing that you can't agree, but the reputation of this company is not very good!" Huang Ming sighed.

"Is the reputation not very good? You mean?"

"This company can be regarded as one of the best giants in the animation industry in Longguo. It is much stronger than my former employer, Jiuxing Animation, and this company has always had a more domineering style. It has acquired several companies before. Putting pressure on the official level, and finally brought the company to the brink of bankruptcy and then took over it at a low price, the industry has a bad reputation! Moreover, it is not very disciplined in doing things in the industry, and many companies are annoyed by it!"

"Then this kind of company can grow so big?" Chu Yu asked doubtfully.

"The founder of this company has a good relationship with the leader of the River Crab Bureau! Many people are upset, but what can we do?" Huang Ming made a point.

River Crab Bureau, the official department of Dragon Kingdom in charge of film and television animation culture, the full name is too long, and its influence in the animation industry is mainly the works and companies that are not harmonious, so people in the industry basically use this name to refer to it.

Chu Yu was not stupid, and understood what Huang Ming meant after hearing a word.

"However, in the past two years, the domestic cultural environment has become more standardized, and the official departments have to follow the rules and regulations. The current leader of the River Crab Bureau has also been on the cusp of various problems in the past. It is rumored that he may retire in a few years, so Tianxing Animation has recently It has also subsided a lot in the past two years, but the lingering prestige is still there, how about it, what do you think?" Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu.

"What can I think? You said you rejected the other party, so that's it!" Chu Yu said seriously.

He is just a cartoonist, at best, he now has the status of an animation screenwriter and investor.

He is not interested in getting involved in these things, let alone being acquired by others, being bound by a contract for ten years or even longer, so...

Why do you think about these things so much?

Chu Yu smiled.

"Brother, I drank too much and went to bed first. Didn't you say that this company is now a law-abiding citizen, why are we so worried?"
