Chapter 94: Departure

On Saturday, Chu Yu set off, working on the original comics alone, heading towards the central business district of the Magic City.

Perhaps there is a tacit understanding among the seven major comic companies in Magic City, and their company addresses are all in the same area.

This is also convenient for cartoonists like Chu Yu to submit articles, as they don’t have to run around!

Today, Chu Yu made an appointment with editors from two comic companies, Orange Cat and Qiye.

Orange cat in the morning, seven leaves in the afternoon.

When they heard that Chu Yu, the cartoonist who won the Dragon Star Award this year, was coming with a new work, they were naturally very interested.

Orange cat, in the editor's office.

Opposite Chu Yu was the editor of Orange Cat whom he had an appointment with, a woman in her thirties named Zeng Jin.

At this time, the original manuscripts of two works were placed in front of her.

These are the two works brought by Chu Yu.

After reading the first three chapters of the manga about the unheard flower name, she thought the plot was okay, but relatively speaking, she was quite disappointed.

After all, the beginning of the plot is a bit confusing. Although the heroine Meiko is very cute, she can't think of any good direction for the subsequent development of the plot between a spirit body and the male protagonist.

Bringing back the soul through a dead body?

Or draw some welfare pictures?

The most important thing is that although romance comics generally do not tell the final ending of the male and female protagonists, readers can figure it out for themselves. How can readers figure out how you are a soul and a living person?

It's impossible to be together!

In the end, Meiko stays with the hero as a spirit body for the rest of her life?

Is that still a romance manga?

It can only be said that her thinking has been limited to romance comics. When she encounters submissions, she looks at the works with a vulgar love perspective.

As for Natsume’s Book of Friends

To be honest, she thought it was okay and had the desire to continue reading.

If the cat teacher in it could turn into a handsome man and form a p-partner with Natsume, it would be more in line with her appetite and meet market demand!

But it was obvious that she had not seen Chu Yu have any idea of ​​drawing in this direction. The main theme of the comics published by Orange Cat Comics is girl romance comics after all, and Natsume's Book of Friends obviously does not have these elements.

Moreover, Natsume's Book of Friends is obviously a unit drama. This type of comics is very particular about inspiration. The plot of these three chapters given to her by Chu Yu is indeed good, but what happens next?

Moreover, the Rurouni Kenshin Memories chapter that Chu Yu painted before had many emotional elements but also many battle scenes. It was still a short story. If it were to be a long story, would he be able to handle it?

Although there are only a few Dragon Star Award-winning authors who are good at it, it does not mean that these people do not have comics that are popular on the street. Even the next work after the winning work has a high probability of being blocked by the street. It is just that

If you are talented, you will be able to rise again quickly after gaining experience after one or two films failed.

These are questions she has to consider.

"Teacher Shui Xin, I have read both of your two works. I personally feel that these two works are very excellent, but I still think that Teacher Shui Xin wants to ask for this to be published in Orange Cat's flagship journal "Cat"

"Heart", it is still difficult for us to realize it here, and for the time being, there are no serial vacancies in this journal within two months. I just wonder if Teacher Shui Xin has the idea to serialize these two comics in ""

Twenty minutes later, Chu Yu left Orange Cat Comics Company and found a place to have lunch.

In the afternoon, we headed towards Qiye Comics Company again.

An hour later, Chu Yu left Qiye again.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple!" Chu Yu sighed.

The editors of these two companies heard that it was his new work. Although they were very interested, they politely refused Chu Yu's request to serialize it in their flagship journals.

After all, although Chu Yu was already famous at this time, his previous works were only two short stories: The Garden of Words and The Memories of Rurouni Kenshin.

If Chu Yu had resolved the copyright issue and asked for serialization with a new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin, then they wouldn't have considered it so much.

But Chu Yu’s two works, Unheard of Flowers, are obviously the kind of works that set the stage at the beginning. It’s hard to say whether they can become popular later. Although Natsume’s Book of Friends has novel themes, the settings of Monsters, Book of Friends, and Neko Teacher are very annoying.

Hi, even the plot makes people feel a little moved, but there is no work of similar style on the market, and they can't say what the response will be after serialization, so they don't dare to bet, and they won't bet!

At this time, Chu Yu was not qualified to let them bet on Chu Yu's potential. After all, there were too many excellent cartoonists in the Magic City.

Every time there is a vacancy in the seven flagship journals of the Magic City, more than dozens of veteran cartoonists compete. Many people have even drawn new works long ago, just waiting for these vacant serial seats. Chu Yuzhen

If you want to be serialized on it, you can only do the same as those people and submit to the serialization conference

Chu Yu can also understand this.

If it weren't for his status as a Dragon Star Award winner, I'm afraid the other party would have to consider the serialization opportunity in its general journals, let alone the flagship journal.

After all, those people don't know the complete plot and quality of these two works like he does. They can promise him a serialization seat in other good periodicals in the manga club because they have confidence and confidence in the high quality of Rurouni Kenshin Memories.

Looking forward to it, but that’s all.

This is the Magic City. Top cartoonists from local provinces will not receive any special treatment when they come here.

The criteria for judging your works are, first, quality, and second, past comic performance!

However, Chu Yu was a little unwilling.

Although I will serialize the work in a general journal for the time being, it is not impossible to ask for the next work to be serialized in a major journal after it becomes popular.

But Chu Yu still wants to get it right in one step!

It’s not that the quality of the work is not good enough, so why go round and round?

Thinking of this, Chu Yu went back to his residence first.

Tomorrow, he also made an appointment.

In the morning, it was Qingye’s editor, and in the afternoon, it was Xuangui’s editor, and Su Wei’s senior, Li Xi

The next morning.

Chu Yu came to Qingye Comics Company again.

Compared to Orange Cat and Nanaba's editors yesterday, Aoba's editors are more direct.

I am interested in the subsequent development of both works.

After all, Nanaba is a comic company that accepts serials in different styles, including blood, horror, battles, romance, etc., as long as the quality of your work is good enough.

The editor even asked Chu Yu if he would like to turn the plot of Natsume's Book of Friends into a monster fighting comic, in which Natsume holds the Book of Friends and orders the monsters, even if the names are unknown.

In addition, will there be any evil spirits appearing, and then the plot of the protagonist and others fighting the evil spirits for Meiko really makes Chu Yu feel the imagination of these people!

However, after the other party heard Chu Yu's request to be serialized in his flagship journal, he pondered for a long time, and it was not enough to directly tell Chu Yu's past historical achievements. If it is a new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin, based on that

With the popularity accumulated through his works, Chu Yu’s request was no problem.

But the type of the new work is so different from the Rurouni Kenshin Memories. He is not optimistic about how many comic fans Chu Yu has accumulated in the past are willing to support!

To put it bluntly, it means the same thing!

I felt that Chu Yu was too young, and I was worried that the results of Rurouni Kenshin Memories would be short-lived, so I wanted to let Chu Yu test the waters in other journals.

If Chu Yu can continue to maintain the plot quality of the new work and replicate the success of Rurouni Kenshin Memories again.

If Chu Yu wants his next work to be serialized in his flagship journal, he can just publish it without thinking about so many things.

For Qiye's editor to be able to say this directly and straightforwardly, Chu Yu still thought he was pretty good.

Although the words don’t sound good, they don’t mean anything!
Chapter completed!
