Chapter 34： invite

"Damn it!"

In the office, Song Jiayu looked gloomy.

In the past two days, the words he heard the most were Shui Xin, Rurouni Jianxin... and when he heard these words, he would think of the woman Su Lu.

Even when he walked into the comics club, he could see several staff members secretly watching him and laughing.

He guessed what those people were laughing at.

The entire comics club knew that Song Jiayu failed to pursue Su Lu. He suppressed Su Lu because of love and hatred, and wanted to force the other party to submit.

But what happened? For several months, he spent so much effort to suppress Su Lu in the comics club. On the contrary, Su Lu himself discovered a new monster like Shui Xin. All this made his previous actions look like a joke. .

More importantly, he felt a strong threat in the work of Rurouni Kenshin.

A newcomer does not have any popularity blessings. Only relying on the two-part comic series can get the fourth ranking on the comics and get the votes of more than 10,000 people.

In Song Jiayu’s view, it’s only a matter of time before Dong Yun’s secret girl surpasses Mo Jing and Tianshu, the two original cuttlefish pillars of comics.

But what about Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance?

It’s really scary. The first issue of the serial only had more than 4,000 votes, and the second issue was more than 14,000. What about the third and fourth issues?

Will it come from behind?

If someone said to the Cuttlefish staff that a rookie cartoonist reached the top of the manga, it would definitely be a ridiculous laugh.

But now, thinking of this possibility, Song Jiayu not only does not have the urge to laugh, but has an invisible pressure.

After all, a man like him came to Los Angeles. The cuttlefish was not here to play. The main purpose of his coming here was to add some highlights to his resume.

For example, after returning to the magic city in the future, he will enter the comics club where his father has dedicated his life as an editor. In his resume, he has served as the deputy editor of the top comic company Cuttlefish in Los Angeles and served as the top comics in Los Angeles. The editor of the most popular works in the periodical comics is undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.

But if the resume is number one, it becomes the second or third...

Then there is no point.

People will only remember the first, no one will remember the second and third...

In that case, he would come to Los Angeles for nothing, and his father would be disappointed in him.

Although his father had a high status in that comics club, his father didn’t mean that he could cover the sky with one hand. There were also many competitors and opponents, and everything had to be rules. He wanted to inherit his father’s presence there. The status, network, and relationship of the comics club. After his father retires, he can’t lose his position at the beginning. If you don’t get any good results in a place like Cuttlefish, how can anyone believe that you return to the city of Devil? His ability?

No, it can't be like this.

Song Jiayu raised his head.

At this time, he and Su Lu are no longer the previous temperament dispute.

It's a dispute over interests.

......

"Hey, did you read it, the new issue of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance series serialized last week?"

"Of course I watched! MD, Jian Xin Shuai exploded, that action, that swordsmanship."

"Who is talking to you, I mean the woman who appeared last, my new goddess is scheduled."

"Isn't your goddess Xiao Yunjiang? Why, I changed my goddess after that work was over? You are so changeable..."

......

"Shui Xin is really appetizing. The second episode ends here. What is the name of the girl who appeared last? What is the identity and how she develops in the future will not be revealed. It is really appetizing."

"The ability to whet your appetite means that the author is good at painting, otherwise, it is not a wheeze. The work is not good-looking, so impatient viewers will only abandon the comics, instead of chasing by the appetite."

......

"I miss my boyfriend as cool as Kenshin from now on.

"Don't think about it, how come you have a boyfriend?"

"Ha ha......"

"But is this work really painted by the author who painted Ye Zhiting? It feels so different! What I painted before was Romance, what is this painting now? War, tactics, passion, love, what kind of elements are it like? It's all a bit! But it's really beautiful!"

...

Like Su Lu, today's Chu Yu feels something different.

Inexplicably, some of the characters discussed by the anime idiots in the class have changed from the previous comics in the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, and even the discussion of Mo Jing and Tianshu in the same periodical, as well as the hidden girl, did not have this work. high.

They also wondered why Chu Yu didn't join the discussion together. After all, Chu Yu was very interested in discussing similar topics.

In the past, the classmates around me who liked to read comics always got together after class to discuss the plot of the current hot comics, but when they discussed the work of Rurouni Kenshin one day, Chu Yu really realized that Rurouni Jianxin seemed to be really on fire.

It only took a week, one word.

Through the platform of Manying, the work quickly spread in Los Angeles, and the speed was so fast that it was staggering.

Fans gathered spontaneously. Shui Xin’s predecessor, The Garden of Words, is also known to many fans. The ink and film journals published in the Garden of Words can even be sold to Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance at two or three times the price on the Internet Fans.

In the Chuyu system space, the world point is also increasing all the time, and it has exceeded 200,000, and the deposits in the bank account are also rising steadily!

......

At night, Chu Yu's house.

Chuyu saw a box of letters in front of him, feeling a little at a loss.

"Is it all sent to me?"

"That's right," Su Lu said.

"Then what should I do?" Chu Yu looked at the pile of letters.

"You can read it if you want, and you can write back if you have time, save it if you don't want to read it, or find a way to deal with it yourself."

"There may be many things like this in the future..." Su Lu said.

"By the way, I have something to tell you today." Su Lu looked at Chu Yu.

"What, what?" Chu Yu was a little confused.

"This is a supplementary agreement. After signing it, your manuscript fee has changed from 600 per page of comics to 1,000 per page of comics." Su Lu smiled and took out an agreement from his bag.

"This is an initiative proposed by the comics club. You don't have to worry about it. After all, the price of 600 per page of comics was just for the average comic artist on the comics. After the voting results last week, the comics club naturally Your corresponding contribution will be adjusted according to your potential."

"The salary has been increased again." Chu Yu was a little numb, and it was only two weeks before his author's salary increased for two consecutive times.

"Also, the Chinese New Year will be about two months away. At that time, our comics society will hold an annual meeting a year ago At that time, we will invite major companies that cooperate with our comics to request Members, the management and chairman of our comics club, and comic artists who believe that the comics club has enough weight to attend this annual meeting." Su Lu finally said what she wanted to say.

"The editor-in-chief told me today that you are also on the invitation list!"

"He asked me to confirm your opinion, are you...willing to go!"

"Annual meeting?" Chu Yu looked at the supplementary agreement in front of him.

He is not interested in this kind of activity, but people take the initiative to increase the remuneration for himself before inviting himself. If he doesn't go, he is a little embarrassed.

"Then...just go!" Chu Yu said carefully.

"That's OK!" Su Lu smiled.

"Also, you can take a person with you when the time comes. Girlfriends, family members, whatever."

"Can you bring someone?" Chu Yu looked at Zhao Qinyin, who had been silent next to him.

Chu Yu understood that the reason why he was invited must be related to the performance of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. In any case, Zhao Qinyin's contribution to the birth of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. Since he can bring him A person, the first thing he thought of was Zhao Qinyin.

"Do you want to go?" Chu Yu asked her.

"Ah! Me?" Zhao Qinyin never thought that Chu Yu would ask her.

She definitely wanted to go. After all, as a street cartoonist, she would definitely be able to go to such a place to meet many familiar cartoonists.

But thinking of Su Lu's last sentence, she was a little embarrassed.

After a long while, she suffocated a word.

"go with!"

"That's good, then it's settled!" Su Lu nodded.
