Chapter 70： progress

After the twelfth episode of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance was serialized, there is no doubt that there has been a wave of discussion in the comic industry in Los Angeles.

The readers were a little unbelievable, and they wrote letters to the Cuttlefish Comics Club, hoping that the author would not finish this work.

After all, everyone can see that the worldview structure of this work is very complete, and it also fits the history of RB Island. There is definitely room to continue painting.

For people in the comics industry in Los Angeles, it is completely puzzled.

Shui Xin, is this crazy?

Such a work, such an achievement, if you don't work hard to think of a story of hundreds of episodes that will continue to be serialized, on the contrary, it is the end of 15 episodes. Are you looking down on the seven or eighty thousand Dragon National Coins per month?

And even if you look down on the manuscript fee, but with the results of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, after the number of words, the release of the booklet is definitely a sure thing.

Coupled with the current results of this work in the Dragon Star Awards, maybe there will be a production company in the city that will buy the animation, film, and game adaptation rights for this work?

If the situation can develop towards this plot in the end, it will not be a drizzle of monthly income of tens of thousands. By that time, the annual income of several hundred, tens of millions is not a problem at all.

When the popularity of this work is at its peak, with such a huge potential, Shui Xin, you actually said that this work will be finished in two weeks?

Could it be that the head was squeezed by the door?

On this day, when cartoonists from major comic companies in Los Angeles meet, this matter will be discussed.

Many people even laughed in public that Shui Xin might have been exhausted by Jiang Lang. They couldn't think of such a high-quality plot later, so they chose to end at the peak.

Someone also said that Shui Xin is a young man after all, with a bit of unfathomable achievements. If this work is really finished, it may be another example of debut and peak, and everyone will inevitably lose sight of it in the future.

However, at night, the wind direction changed.

The reason is that a person wrote a blog post about this time in the evening, and the whole content is an analysis of the end of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

One of the sentences made everyone suddenly realize.

Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is indeed about to end, but will Rurouni Kenshin's work really end?

The person who saw this sentence was still a little confused for a while?

tongue twister?

But immediately, it happened.

Rurouni Kenshin...Remembrance chapter.

Remembrance...

All of a sudden, the people who followed the end of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance chapter "woke up".

Shui Xinguo is really a cunning person, and Cuttlefish Comics is really good at news.

Generally speaking, although there are no rules in naming a work, how can it end with words like xx?

Because I haven't thought about this issue much before.

Now, the fans who read this blog post suddenly wake up.

Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, it is just a chapter of Rurouni Kenshin...

Remembrance chapter is over, a new chapter will definitely begin...

Shui Xin and Cuttlefish, they played word games with all the fans from the beginning!

In less than a day, the emotions of comic fans toward the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter never wanted it to end, to the strong hope that it would end and start a new chapter.

But...

Is this really the case?

...

At night, Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin were still working on the final refinement of the manuscripts of the 14th and 15th chapters of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

"So is the current view of this work on the Internet like this?" Chu Yu looked at Su Lu.

"I think I will draw a new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin after the remembrance chapter is over?"

"Don't say it's the Internet... even our cuttlefish have this view." Su Lu said.

"When you first started serializing, the number of words you expected was a dozen or so. Of course, I submitted this information to Cuttlefish early in the morning. Later, you also know that this work has become popular at a thunderous speed, so there is a paragraph in the comics club. Time is not for me to ask you... Rurouni Kenshin's work, besides the remembrance chapter, is there any other chapter content..."

"You should remember what you said to me at the time!"

"You said yes... but I added a sentence after the plot has not been fully conceived." Su Lu stared at Chu Yu.

"I also reported this incident later, but it seems that the high-level cuttlefish automatically ignored the latter sentence. After all, in their opinion, no works are serialized until they are fully conceived, and they are conceived while serializing."

"Otherwise, you thought that this time you finished the remembrance chapter, why did the cuttlefish didn't bother much? They all thought you wanted to finish the remembrance chapter and start a new chapter in Rurouni Kenshin..."

"But in fact, you should know Sister Su..." Chu Yu frowned.

"I didn't want to serialize the new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin... I still have not conceived the plot of the other chapters of Rurouni Kenshin. It is impossible to continue serializing this work."

Specifically, it's not that Chu Yu didn't have such an idea, but that Chu Yu couldn't help it.

World points are directly exchanged for Rurouni Kenshin. The whole story is far from it. The chance of Rurouni Kenshin who has the B-level redemption qualification drawn to A-level is zero.

Otherwise, it is not impossible for Chu Yu to continue to serialize the main story of this work.

"So..." Su Lu sighed.

"I didn't report such a thing to the cuttlefish!"

"Anyway, I never said that after the Remembrance Chapter is over, you will open a new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin, but the outside world and the cuttlefish can make up for it by themselves."

"Self strategy is the most deadly!"

"If you don't do this, do you still want to end the Remembrance? Maybe three or five days ago, Cuttlefish will send me and various functional personnel to gather at your home to let you take back the decision. By the way, I will persuade you to start you. No matter what, I have to think of hundreds of words in this work, even if it’s a water plot, I have to turn it into a full-length serial."

If things are really like that...

Chu Yu heard this, his complexion slightly changed.

But the problem came immediately.

"At that time, things failed to follow the script of the cuttlefish imagination..."

"After the remembrance chapter is over, if the work is completely finished...what will happen." Chu Yu asked.

"What else?" Su Lu smiled.

"A complete explosion!"

"But it's better than a cuttlefish sending someone to force you to squeeze all the commercial value of this work. It's better for you to completely fall out of the script with them!"

Su Lu also understood Chu Yu's temperament, and knew that Chu Yu had finished speaking, then he must finish this work.

While the cuttlefish senior executives still had such a misunderstanding about this matter, Su Lu just played stupid and fooled the matter over.

"Of course, the best situation is that after the remembrance chapter is over, you will continue to serialize the new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin! Then there will be no trouble." Su Lu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"This kind of thing..." Chu Yu wanted to say.

There is nothing he can do.

But it's not a good attitude to be too firm.

So the conversation was halfway, and it stopped abruptly.

...

1:1 in the morning on Saturday.

The official website of the Dragon Star Award contest.

The twelfth chapter of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is updated simultaneously.

The Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance of the second week of the Dragon Star Award selection is indeed a fierce momentum.

The score remains unchanged at 9.8, but the fan value has increased from 170,000 last Friday to about 350,000 now.

is temporarily ranked seventh.

Of course, the fan value of basically all works is rising. After a week, the number one Blazing Feather has risen from 400,000 fans last week to more than 700,000 now.

At this time, many online fans of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance are eagerly waiting for the update of the work.

The publication time of these participating comics is different, so the update time of the Dragon Star Award official website is also different.

But at this moment, netizens who browsed various comics on the official website almost all felt some webpages freeze.

And if it is the backstage staff of the official website of the Dragon Star Award contest, if you call up the data and look at the data, you will understand how high the proportion of Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences is!

Eighty percent of hundreds of thousands of fans of this work will watch it within 24 hours after the new story is updated.

About 35 percent of the fans will wait for the update in the early hours of the morning.

The 24-hour follow-up data of Blazing Feather is only 50%, and the number of people waiting online is only 15%.

The two works rated at 9.8 and 8.8 seem to have only one point difference on the surface, but when compared with these data, the gap is very intuitive.

But in any case, considering the fan value of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance of more than 300,000 people, it can indeed be called more than 100,000 people online at the same time waiting for the new story update.

The plot of the new story is full of Kenshin's fierce battle with the enemy.

His eyes were temporarily blind, and his ears were also bleeding from the impact.

Kenshin once had hallucinations on the way up the mountain...

At this moment, what Jian Xin was thinking about was what he and Ba said about going to Ojin to live in seclusion.

At the moment of confusion, Jianxin shouted out that sentence.

Go together, Otsu!

yelled out, Jian Xin's vague consciousness regained his clarity, but there was no one in front of him, only the sky full of snow and wind.

For an instant, the fans who saw this scene felt sad for Kenshin.

"The heart of the water is too bad, what is the plot to abuse the main story! I really convinced these authors to make the next two people want to be together, why are they doing such abuse?"

"I burst into tears, and I feel that Jianxin is about to be overwhelmed by the incident of killing the Bafi husband! Otherwise, it is impossible to be seriously injured by the first few people sneak attack! And you see that he was hurt so badly. , Still thinking about going up the mountain to rescue the bus."

"There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing!"

This page has an unprecedented number of comics.

then turn to the next page.

is a color page with Jianxin and Ba drawn on the color page, and the top is written.

The fourteenth episode and the fifteenth episode of the closing episode will be serialized at the same time in two weeks' time, so stay tuned.

"?"

"?"

"What the hell?"

"It's over?"

"It's funny!"

a bunch of comments.

However, fans from Los Angeles immediately came forward to explain, but the remembrance chapter is over, and the other chapters are about to start serialization.

Unlike the commotion that lasted for a day in Los Angeles, the rapidity of information dissemination on the Internet made all the fans of Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscences think that the author Shui Xin will soon publish a new chapter after finishing the reminiscences.

But in the same way, network communication has its limitations.

That is...From the beginning to the end, Shui Xin has never admitted such news, but people who see it are willing to believe it.

......

Zhang Yun, who had finished reading the new series, looked at his editor with a sad expression.

"How?"

"Do you think this work has a chance to threaten me in the first round?"

Zhang Yun, as the author of Blazing Feather, undoubtedly won the Dragon Star Award selection for the first place in the Dragon Star Award.

In his opinion, all the entries.

Whether it is War Soul, who ranks second with a fan value of 650,000, or Jiehai, who is ranked third with a fan value of 600,000.

These works, whether in the first round of selection or the second round of selection, are not a big threat to myself.

Only this Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance...

Zhang Yun's attitude has gone from being contemptuous at the beginning to the present day like an enemy.

He is also a cartoonist, and he clearly distinguishes the pros and cons of his works.

Even if the fan value of his work now crushes Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter, he is still worried.

"I think it is unlikely."

"According to the current growth rate of this work, the final first round of selection is over, it should be ranked fourth and fifth, and the first three opportunities are small." The editor said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, it takes a certain amount of time for the quality of the work to turn it into adulthood. The one month for the first round of the Dragon Star Award is still too short. In addition, the serialization platform of the work itself is too short. Generally speaking, let alone publicizing it across the country, even neighboring provinces have no such ability to promote it, just relying on word-of-mouth to increase the number of fans, or not paying attention to defeating Blazing Feather..."

"I hope so." Zhang Yun exhaled.

There is a gap in the degree of excitement of the works. Zhang Yun admits this, but this does not mean that he will easily admit defeat.

After all, the final work selected for the Dragon Star Award is not just a matter of good or bad.

It can be seen from the rules that in the first round of selection, the popularity of the work itself is very important, that is, the commercial nature of the work itself, while the second round of selection is about the appetite of the work for professional comics.

Only works with strong comprehensive strength can win, not to mention, now that Blazing Feather has an absolute advantage, it is too early to lose.

But for some reason, Zhang Yun always feels a little uncomfortable.

I remembered the coloring trailer that I watched at the end of the latest episode of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance...

Two weeks later, the fourteenth and fifteenth episodes will be serialized together.

Calculated by time, less than two days after the two words were updated on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards, the first round of the Dragon Star Awards was over.

Is 　　 arranged like this on purpose?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Zhang Yun also went to bed with this question.

...

A week has passed, and it is another Friday.

Manying's new issue is issued again.

As the most popular comic in Los Angeles, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance often has a line outside the bookstore on every release day.

This week's movie, the cover of the journal is still the color page of Jianxin and Ba.

Compared with the lack of publicity for this work at the beginning, nowadays, posters of this work will be posted on the walls of bookstores to attract visitors. UU reading has a great change in its treatment, which is also rare.

As a senior in high school, school started a few days earlier, but just after the fifteenth of the first month, the school also started.

The manuscripts of the last two chapters of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance were submitted to Su Lu last week, just waiting to be published. With the end of Remembrance, the cartoonist and assistant relationship between Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin was temporarily terminated.

Chuyu, Zhao Qinyin, and Su Lu have not met each other for a week because of the temporary end of work.

is already the last semester of high school, and everyone is in a tense sprint stage.

And after working as a cartoonist for several months, Chuyu now takes a short break. On the contrary, he feels that it’s easy to sit and listen to classes all day as a student.

But unlike Chu Yu's leisurely life, with the release of Chapter 13 of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, the entire Los Angeles comics industry was boiling for a while.

Many readers bought Man Ying with enthusiasm, ate, and drank tea to watch the latest Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

But the more I see the back, the more frowning my brows...

When seeing the 13 chapters, Xuedaiba rushed between Jianxin and his enemy in order to save Jianxin, and used his body to help Jianxin block the enemy's attack. He was also hit by a sword from the back by Jianxin who was temporarily blind in his eyes.

If consciousness can be concretized, then all fans of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance who saw this scene at this moment will definitely have a big question mark on their foreheads.

Shui Xin, what do you want to do?

You are playing with fire, do you know?

(The two chapters have been updated together, and I’m lazy to score chapters. After all, I need to think of a chapter name when I divide a chapter. It’s really powerless to get a chapter name!)
