Chapter 33 Wind Direction

"The Memories of Rurouni Kenshin? What is that, Shuishin? I don't know it at all." Li Xi was talking while helping Tang Xin clean up the takeout boxes and various snacks and garbage on the table.

As Tang Xin's editor, her responsibilities certainly did not include these chores, but she understood that if no one came to help Tang Xin do these things, this girl who was not only good at drawing comics but had extremely low ability to take care of herself might be able to make this place worse.

In the center of Shanghai, apartments with high prices have become garbage dumps.

"Don't you know?" Tang Xin's eyes widened, his face full of disappointment.

"That's it! The work was serialized in Mangying, a magazine owned by Cuttlefish Comics, and it only lasted three chapters."

"I don't know, I have no impression at all, but I basically know all the old authors from Luo Province. In this case, it may be a new writer from Luo Province!" Li Xi shook his head and said.

"But why do you ask?"

Tang Xin stood up from the chair with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Didn't I think you had stayed in that comic book club before?"

"I mean"

"If you are familiar with that place, can you help me get a copy of the follow-up comic of this work, or the name of the comic?"

"Although this work has only been serialized to the third chapter in the journal, if the situation is similar to that of our comic book club, maybe the comic book company called Cuttlefish already has the original manuscript of the fourth or even fifth chapter of Nairobi Kenshin.

If it’s a comic title, maybe I’ll even draw the ending and submit it.”

"I'm very curious about the follow-up plot of this work." At this point, Tang Xin clenched his hands into fists and looked at Li Xi with hope and expectation.

Hearing this, Li Xi gave her a knife without mercy, hitting her in the head.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Tang Xin yelled, covering his forehead.

"What are you thinking? It's been two years since I left that boring company, okay? And I had a quarrel with that comic company back then. How could I possibly have access to their comic manuscripts?"

"And even if I still have a good relationship with the staff of that comics company, this kind of thing is impossible! How can the unpublished comic manuscripts and comic names be copied and loaned out, even though there are a few people in that comics company who are just trash?

, but don’t think about this kind of principle issue.”

"Eh"

"But updating one episode a week like this is too much trouble!" Tang Xin sat heavily on his chair with a listless look on his face.

"Are you qualified to say such a thing?" Li Xi sneered.

"Do you know how many issues you have suspended this year? On average, you will have to suspend publication once a month. Have you ever thought about the sadness of your readers who can't even wait for one episode a week?"

"But I really can't draw it! I feel like my talent has been exhausted and my inspiration has dried up."

"Perhaps this is what the ancients said about a man who has exhausted his talent! Maybe I shouldn't have embarked on the path of being a cartoonist in the first place. Maybe I am already an excellent fashion model now!"

"Stop thinking so much, you have to recognize the reality. People like you can't take care of yourself, are easily deceived, and don't understand the world. If you don't draw comics, you will starve to death!" Li Xi looked at her, very surprised.

Seriously.

"Okay, do you have any other strange requests? Tell them all and I will reject them all. Then I will stay with you every step of the way for the next five days. Before you draw the new chapter of the comic,

, don’t even think about getting close to your cell phone or computer, the internet is also cut off.”

"You must be a devil!" Tang Xin suddenly jumped up.

"I am a cartoonist, not a slave. I have human rights."

However, Li Xi in front of her just gave her a determined and sharp look.

Gradually, Tang Xin's momentum weakened.

"Then can I make a request?"

"explain!"

"This journal called Man Shadow, the last issue, the previous issue, and the future issue with the Memoirs of Rurouni Kenshin, can you help me contact a friend you know in Luo Province and mail it to me?

Come here, oh, by the way, don’t send it by ordinary express, just send it by air, and the money will be deducted from my royalties!"

Li Xi took a long breath and looked at Tang Xin's serious face.

"What kind of comic is this? Is it that good?"

"It's just a piece of work from a local comic journal"

"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 treasure.

"Otherwise, take a look for yourself. It will only be updated to the third episode, which is not long."

On Monday, as soon as he walked into the comic club, Su Yu felt a strange atmosphere.

Almost everyone was secretly looking at her. Several of her colleagues who had always looked at her coldly because of her disagreement with Song Jiayu looked much better when they saw her today.

Su Yu understood what caused the strange things she felt.

After the results of the manga voting came out last Friday, not to mention Cuttlefish, even the editorial departments of the other two comic companies at the same level, Fengyu and Longya, learned that there was a manga with only two chapters serialized on top of the manga.

There are works supported by tens of thousands of votes.

In the past two days, many acquaintances in the industry have asked her about this.

Not to mention that outsiders find it unbelievable, even Su Yu, the editor-in-chief of Chu Yu, could not imagine that the situation would develop like this.

It was her guess that Rurouni Kenshin Memories would become a hit, but she never dared to imagine that this work would become so popular so quickly.

"Su Yan, this is a letter from a reader. Please submit it to Teacher Shui Xin."

Arriving at his office, a woman soon saw a whole box of letters, almost hundreds of letters, placed on Su's desk.

"so much?"

"Well, that's right. I've confirmed that these are letters sent by Teacher Shui Xin's fans from all over Luo Province."

After the woman left, Su Yan stared blankly at the pile of fan letters on the table.

If the number of votes in the voting ranking text message is just a numerical value, I don't have an intuitive feeling.

The whole box of letters in front of him made Su Yan understand that the work Rurouni Kenshin: Memories was really popular.

It is fully worthy of the 14,000 votes received in the last issue.

After working in the editing industry for three years, Su Wei never thought that he would be able to bring out a popular cartoonist under him in the future, but it was too fast!

In the first two months, she was still troubled by the fact that she had offended Song Jiayu and was ostracized in the comics club. At one time, she even wanted to give up this career. But now, with the popularity of Rurouni Kenshin, her status in the comics club has naturally also increased.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

"Su Yu, the editor-in-chief wants to talk to you." At this time, a colleague came in to inform her.

"Oh, I understand, I'll be there right away!"

Su Da took a deep breath and responded.

Want to talk to me?

Su Cheng understood without thinking that it must be about Chu Yu.
