"Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance? What is that, Shui Xin? I don't know it at all." Li Xi was talking while helping Tang Xin tidy up the takeaway boxes and all kinds of snacks on the table.
As Tang Xin's editor, her responsibilities certainly do not include these miscellaneous things, but she understands that if no one comes to help Tang Xin do these things, this girl who is very good at drawing cartoons and has extremely low self-care ability may be able to make this room. In the center of the magic city, an apartment with an inch of land has become a garbage dump.
"Don't you know?" Tang Xin's eyes widened, his face full of disappointment.
"That's it! The works serialized in the periodical comic of Cuttlefish Comics Club, only three episodes were serialized..."
"I don't know, I have no impression at all, but I basically know all the old authors in Los Angeles. In this case, maybe it is a new writer from Los Angeles!" Li Xi shook his head.
"But why are you asking this?"
Tang Xin got up from the chair, a little embarrassed on his face.
"Didn't I think you used to stay in that manga agency?"
"I mean......."
"If you are familiar with there, can you help me copy the follow-up comics of this work, or the name of the comics to me..."
"Although this work has only been serialized to the third chapter in the journal, if the situation is similar to our manga agency, maybe the manga house called Cuttlefish already has the original manuscripts of Kenshin's fourth and even fifth chapters in its hands. Now, as for the name of the manga, maybe the link bureau draws it out and submits it."
"I'm very curious about the follow-up plot of this work." At this point, Tang Xin clenched his fists with both hands, looking at Li Xi with hope and expectation.
Li Xi, upon hearing this, gave her a hand knife without mercy, which hit her forehead.
"It hurts!" Tang Xin shouted, covering his forehead.
"What are you thinking? It's been two years since I left that boring company, okay? Also, I was in a stalemate with that comic club. How could I get in touch with other manga manuscripts."
"And even if I still have a good relationship with the manga agency staff, this kind of thing is impossible! How could the unpublished manga manuscript and manga name be copied and loaned out, although there are a few people in that manga agency that are just trash , But don’t think about this kind of principle."
"Hey~~"
"But, it would be too painful to update this one week!" Tang Xin sat down heavily in his chair with a listless expression on his face.
"Are you qualified to say such things?" Li Xi sneered.
"Do you know how many issues have you closed this year? You have to close one issue a month on average. Have you ever thought that your readers can't even wait for a week?"
"But I really can't draw it! I feel that my talent has been exhausted by me, and my inspiration has also been exhausted."
"Perhaps, this is what the ancients said that Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted! Maybe I shouldn't have embarked on the road of manga artist...In that case, maybe I am already an excellent fashion model!"
"Don't think so much, you have to recognize the reality, you are a person like you, can't take care of yourself, and are easy to be deceived, don't understand the world, don't draw cartoons...you will starve to death!" Li Xi Looking at her, she said very seriously.
"Okay, do you have any other weird requests? I said them all and I rejected them all, and then I will stay by your side for the next five days, before you draw a new comic. Don’t even think about getting close to mobile phones, computers, etc., and the network will be disconnected."
"You are the devil!" Tang Xin jumped up all at once.
"I am a cartoonist, not a slave, I have human rights..."
But Li Xi in front of her just gave her a firm and sharp look back.
Tang Xin gradually weakened.
"Then can I make a request."
"Say!"
"This periodical named Man Ying, the last issue, the last issue, and the number of issues with Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance will be published in the future, can you help me contact a friend you know in Los Angeles and send it to me? Come here, oh, by the way, don’t send that kind of ordinary express, directly by air, and the money will be deducted from my manuscript fee!"
Li Xi let out a long sigh and looked at Tang Xin's serious face.
"What kind of manga is this heart, is it that good-looking?"
"It's just a work in a local comic magazine..."
"Of course it looks good..." Tang Xin turned the computer screen around and pointed it at Li Xi, as if a child was showing off his baby.
"Otherwise, take a look for yourself, and only update to the third chapter, which is not long..."
......
On Monday, as soon as he walked into the comics club, Su Lu felt a strange atmosphere.
Almost everyone was looking at her secretly. Several of her colleagues who had been cold-eyed at her because of her discord with Song Jiayu before, they looked much better at her when they saw her today.
Su Lu knew what caused the weirdness she felt.
After the voting results of the comic film came out last Friday, let alone the cuttlefish, even the editorial departments of two other comic companies of the same level, Fengyu and Longya, also learned that a series of only two episodes appeared on the comic film. There are works that tens of thousands of people voted for.
In the past few days, many acquaintances in the circle have asked her about this.
Not to mention that outsiders find it incredible, even Su Lu, the editor in charge of Chu Yu, could not have imagined that UU reading would be such a development.
Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance will be popular, this is in her guess, but she absolutely did not dare to think that this work will be so fast.
"Su Lu, this is a letter from the reader, please submit it to Teacher Shuixin."
came to his office, and soon, a woman held a whole box, and almost hundreds of letters were placed on Su Lu's desk.
"so much?"
"Well, yes, I have confirmed them. These are all letters sent by fans from teachers in Shuixin from all over Los Angeles."
After the woman left, Su Lu looked at the pile of fan letters on the desktop blankly.
If the votes on the voting ranking text messages are just numerical values, I don’t have too intuitive feelings.
The whole box of letters in front of him made Su Lu understand that the work of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is really hot.
It is fully worthy of the 14,000 votes in the previous issue.
In the editing industry for three years, Su Lu didn't think that he could bring out a popular cartoonist under his men in the future, but it was too fast!
In the first two months, she was still annoyed by her being ostracized by her offending Song Jiayu in the comics agency, and she even wanted to give up her career. Now, with the popularity of Rurouni Kenshin, her status in the comics agency is naturally also. The tide is rising.
"Su Lu, the editor-in-chief is looking for you to talk to." At this time, a colleague came in to inform her.
"Oh, understand, I'll be over right away!"
Su Lu took a deep breath and responded.
Talk to me?
Su Lu didn't have to think about it and understood, it must be a topic about Chu Yu.
After all, last week’s ranking results have already made the whole Cuttlefish understand that Shui Xin is Chu Yu’s potential...
