People outside may still have questions after seeing the plot of the fourth episode of Natsume's Book of Friends.

With the plot of the fourth episode, will this work have a chance to break into the top ten of Shuiyuan's popularity rankings?

But as many Black Turtle editors who can pay attention to voting information and trends in real time, how can they think about such a thing?

Natsukawa's work is now almost 30,000 votes behind Natsume's Book of Friends, and the gap between the two is still widening.

If nothing else, the eleventh pick in this week's popularity vote should be Xia Chuan.

But the tenth pick

That may not be Natsume.

After all, Natsume's Book of Friends currently ranks tenth with 280,000 votes, but the ninth-ranked work "Thorn Warlock" leads Natsume's Book of Friends by less than 300 votes.

Seeing this trend, Xuangui's staff felt it was a bit nonsense.

But could it be that, in this week’s final ranking of Natsume’s Book of Friends, it could still be ranked tenth, going one step further to ninth, or even higher?

The comics on Shuiyuan are basically divided into several levels.

For example, the long-term most popular work is Zhou Qin’s Red Abyss, the long-term second-ranked work is Tang Xin’s Dream World, and the long-term third-ranked work is Lin Xi’s Soul of the Dragon.

.

These three works have long-term votes of more than one million votes across the Dragon Kingdom. They are extremely popular comics and mainstay works of Black Turtle Comics.

As for other works, such as the works ranked fourth to seventh in the last round of voting, they are in another level. The number of popularity votes is generally more than 400,000 and less than 600,000.

For a work of this caliber, there is basically no need to worry as long as the length reaches the required length, such as stand-alone books or animations.

Whatever conference the author attends, the name can be prefixed with a famous or well-known cartoonist from the Dragon Kingdom, and everyone will recognize it.

The remaining works, such as Thorn Warlock, which are usually ranked in the eighth to tenth place, have two to three hundred thousand votes.

Basically, the work is somewhat popular, but not many people care about the author's words. The general situation is that this work may have a good response, but the next work may not.

Yu Jing, who had a scolding battle with Chu Yu Weibo, was basically at this level.

As for the works ranked ten or below, Xuangui basically doesn't care too much. Those works will not increase in popularity over time, and they will often be included in the cut-off list.

The competition model of the journal Shuiyuan is actually similar to that of cultivating gu.

Every once in a while, put a few works up and brush down a few works.

In the end, works with potential will remain in the top ten for a long time and will not change for several years and will continue to be serialized.

And works without potential will be automatically cut in half in just a few months and half a year.

Popularity is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

That's why the staff of Xuangui were so surprised by the results of Natsume's Book of Friends at this time.

Although on the surface, the popularity ranking has only risen one or two places.

But in a journal like Shuiyuan, a ranking of one or two places represents a huge gap.

Compared to the most popular Red Abyss, which is ranked fourth, July's Whispers, the real number of fans, popularity, popularity, and income of the two works may be several times or even ten times different.

If Sui Xin's Natsume's Book of Friends serialization is longer and can eventually remain in the top seven in popularity in Sui Yuan's journal, then basically Shui Xin's next work, Xuangui will cultivate it as a mainstay work.

At that time, Black Turtle Comics Club can also release news in the Magic City, and all the most talented young and girl cartoonists in the entire Dragon Kingdom will be under its command.

I'm afraid if this gimmick is used for publicity, the popularity of both Chu Yu and Tang Xin will increase greatly.

A high-end high-rise building.

Tang Xin looked at the popularity voting trend of this issue of Shuiyuan Journal on the background of his mobile phone.

When I saw that Natsume's Book of Friends ranked among the top ten in terms of popularity, his whole face was filled with happiness.

"I'm just telling you! How can someone who can draw Rurouni Kenshin's Memories and Natsume's Book of Friends not be in the top ten? In the past, it was just a missed opportunity."

"Finally, he has reached this point."

"Well, that's interesting!"

A villa area in Shanghai.

In the room, a man in his thirties smiled as his assistants talked about the scolding between Shui Xin and Yu Jing.

"But that guy Yu Jing, I remember he debuted around the same time as me! I remember that I worked with him as teacher Cai Xin's assistant. Fast forward seven or eight years, how could he now be bullying new cartoonists?

"

"The funniest thing is that he was slapped in the face in public!" The man shook his head and looked at the real-time ranking of Natsume's Book of Friends displayed on his phone.

"There have been too many great people in the comics industry in Shanghai in the past two years."

"First there is Tang Xin. In the past two years, I think my hair has almost fallen out in the comic plot, so I can barely maintain some suppression of her. Now I have a headache again!"

"After all, it's only a four-episode work, and you can't tell much. It's too much to compare him with Tang Xin now! Teacher Zhou Qin!" Zhou Qin's assistant frowned.

"I felt the same way when Tang Xin's works were first published in Shuiyuan. You think so now." Zhou Qin shook his head.

"However, it turns out that it is always better to be more aware of worries. You see, it has been really hard for me to maintain my first place in the past two years. This is all thanks to that little girl Tang Xin who always likes to take a break from the publication when the plot is at its climax.

It’s hard to tell what the current situation of Shuiyuan is like!”

"But it's okay, anyway, my Red Abyss will be finished soon. If Shui Xin really has such potential as a cartoonist, let Tang Xin experience how I can get rid of someone who has been chasing me for the past two years.

It feels good even if I can’t get rid of it.”

As soon as 0:00 a.m., Shuiyuan Journal’s work popularity voting page stopped voting for this issue.

In the end, Natsume's Book of Friends ranked ninth in popularity.

The number of popularity votes is around 380,000.

Soon, the news spread throughout the Magic City comic circle.

In the magic city, there are seven journals of Shuiyuan's level.

Originally, it was just a top ten popular work on Shuiyuan that wouldn't attract so many people's attention.

But if that work is just a comic serialized for three issues, the meaning is completely different.

Even Zhou Qin, the king of the Shuiyuan Journal and the top cartoonist of the Dragon Kingdom, will pay attention to the results of this work. How can cartoonists from other comics clubs in the Magic City ignore the results of this work?

The editors who said in the manga editor group last week that they rejected Natsume's submission were really heartbroken.

This work was originally brought here by Shui Xin, and he came to them first to seek serialization.

It can be foreseen that for a long time in the future, when talking about Li Xi, they will refuse Natsume's submission, and Li Xi's clever eyes will definitely be brought up as a joke.

This not only loses performance, but also loses face.

As for Yu Jing, he suddenly became silent today.

The comment section of his Weibo was full of jealous fans who were mocking him!

He didn't dare to say anything.

He never imagined that two weeks ago, he was still blaming Shui Xin as a senior on the grounds that his comic works had better results.

Two weeks later, Natsume's Book of Friends ranked among the top ten in Suen's popularity poll.

To be honest, in terms of performance, the two of them are about the same now. In terms of potential, there is no comparison between his three sisters next door and Natsume.

This is so embarrassing!

If you fail to show off, you become a fool.

Moreover, this matter is not over yet

Their works will be animated and broadcast in February next year. If the three sisters next door are not as popular as Unheard Flower Name, then they will really be beaten by Shui Xin.

"Ninth." Chu Yu sighed slightly.

"Demon City is really different from Luo Province!"

"It seems that the possibility of developing a trend like the original Rurouni Kenshin Memories in Los Angeles is not very high."

Didi didi!

At this time, Chu Yu's cell phone rang.

The name of the caller is Huang Ming!

"Hello, Producer Huang!" Chu Yu didn't hesitate and answered the phone immediately.

"Teacher Shui Xin, right?"

"I'm sorry to call you at this time."

"But there is something I want to tell you!"

"Two days later, the voice actor selection meeting for Unheard Flowers will be held at Jiuxing Animation Production Company. If Mr. Shui Xin has time then, can you come over?"

"After all, our animation production team still wants to refer to your opinions as the original author of the work."

"Furthermore, Teacher Shui Xin, didn't you say before that for unheard music, is there someone familiar with suitable works? You can also ask your friends to come over then. After all, time is tight.

We can also discuss the specific situation of this matter at some time!”
