Chapter 60
When the popularity votes for Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance were counted this week, the cuttlefish, and even the entire Los Angeles comics industry, had no idea how to evaluate this work.
Although the news that Shui Xin is a male teenager hasn't fully spread, basically, people in the comics industry in Los Angeles have relatively well-informed news.
Newcomers, cartoonists, high school students... these elements are very eye-catching.
When everyone has recognized that the pen name Shui Xin, the boy whose real name is Chu Yu, is a rare genius in the comics industry in Los Angeles for decades.
Shui Xin once again taught the comic industry in Los Angeles a lesson.
The number of votes with more than 60,000 votes is not only a record of the number of popular votes for cuttlefish, but also a peak in the entire province of Los Angeles.
In the entire Los Angeles comics industry, faintly, more and more people have already used the title of Los Angeles's number one cartoonist to refer to Shui Xin...
...
This weekend, the entire Dragon Kingdom is immersed in joy. After all, the New Year's Eve is Sunday.
Compared with the lively city on Saturday, Mingcheng on Sunday is a bit deserted and lonely.
Basically everyone stays behind closed doors and stays at home with their families.
Even though he was only at home alone, Chu Yu still made a table of New Year's Eve dinner by himself, and after incense was given to his parents, Chu Yu was also quite content by himself.
On Weixin, Zhao Qinyin and Su Lu both sent him blessings.
The Cuttlefish New Year greeting messages were also sent, and even some comic writers who exchanged their mobile phone numbers at the Cuttlefish Annual Meeting also sent blessing messages.
It's almost as if I have really become a member of society.
Compared with the status of Chu Yu as a high school student, the current career of a cartoonist has undoubtedly a greater impact on his life.
At Zhao Qinyin's home, she and her grandma had a New Year's Eve dinner together and then turned on the TV, and watched the Spring Festival Gala with her grandma.
Although I feel that this show is getting boring year by year, and I haven't even drawn the comic manuscript in Chu Yu's house, but Zhao Qinyin still smiled, echoing her grandma all night and chatting with her.
...
It is different from Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin, a lonely and widowed person who lives with his grandmother. It is in Wangxian, another county more than 100 kilometers away from Mingcheng.
Su Lu and his family gathered together.
Her parents, uncle, second uncle, third aunt... all the way to the seventh uncle, and the aunts, their children, daughter-in-laws, son-in-laws, her nephews and nieces, and even grand nieces and nieces There were about forty people, with Su Lu's grandfather as the center, and a total of almost five people at the table were seated.
"Xiao Lu, it's another one to come back to celebrate the New Year this year!"
"What about boyfriend?" Su Lu's grandfather asked first.
"Where is her boyfriend! I said last year that I would bring it home this year. Look like this..."
"It's not that I said you, Xiao Lu. Three months ago, I called you to go home for a blind date at the Sun's house. The conditions in the house are good. After seeing your photo, they can't forget... How about you? I just don't want to come back. I think it's just in time for the Chinese New Year. I will ask someone out the day after tomorrow, and you will meet up... If it's done, you don't have to run to Mingcheng to be a comic editor in the future. They are all so old, and they are still inseparable from those little kids..."
it has started.
Su Lu's previously relaxed expression suddenly collapsed.
It's like this every year, can't you stop a little bit?
...
This year, everyone has their own feelings. At twelve o'clock in the evening, a new day and a new year have also arrived.
The Dragon Star Award selection official website was created by the Magic Capital Seven University to select the Dragon Star Award.
Quietly, one hundred and sixty-seven comics were put on the shelves.
On this New Year's Eve, even Chu Yu, Su Lu, and Zhao Qinyin were almost asleep at this time.
After all, the Dragon Star Awards, which lasted for a full six weeks, really don't have to watch the website if you really want to pay attention.
But there are always exceptions, just like most people like to watch the Spring Festival Gala with the whole family during the New Year, but there are also many people who like to stay alone in the room and play games.
For fans of the Dragon Kingdom, this evening, compared with the New Year, the start of the Dragon Star Award selection also made them excited.
The selection of such an award is not only a grand gathering for cartoonists, but also a grand gathering for their fans.
In the eyes of many comic fans, it has been "9012" and the Internet has become so popular, but the comics industry does not seem to be connected to the Internet.
Each province has its own comic company and its own sales channels.
Fans from neighboring provinces don't understand each other's popular comics. It's just too normal.
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, online publishing should be a channel for a comic company to expand the influence of its excellent comics.
However, the imagination is full and the reality is very skinny. The comic companies that try this way often not only fail to attract the attention of other provinces, but because of the online publication of the periodical buyers in their own provinces, they do not buy physical periodicals. Now, I went to watch the serialization on the Internet, which caused a huge decline in the sales of comic magazines, and the revenue of the comic agency plummeted.
With the failure of predecessors in the first place, the comic companies that followed were tacitly focused only on physical journals.
This has also led to the current situation in the Dragon Kingdom comics world.
It is also because of this that the comic recommendation section of Xinman.com has a certain popularity. Although the netizens above do not all want to read pirated posts on it, but you comic clubs have no promise in letting the original works be distributed to other provinces, so you can't blame people. Go to the Internet to see piracy at home.
Although those works are often sealed and posted when they look at it...
For the selection of the Dragon Star Award, UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com just satisfies the need of Dragon Manga fans who want to know what other province comics are like.
They are genuine, and they are basically the first-name comics of various provinces. The viewing experience is undoubtedly much better than the pirated posts of Xinman.com, and you can also complain and leave comments in the real-time comic reading on the website.
So every year, when the Dragon Star Award starts to be selected, the traffic on the official website of the selection will reach a terrifying value during the Chinese New Year.
....
At two o'clock in the morning, the Dragon Star Awards official website updated these comics two hours later.
One point into the Dragon Star Awards official website, Li Xing saw the ranking of that comic.
The ranking list of participating comics for the Dragon Star Award is calculated based on the number of paid readers of this comic.
The number one work is the popular masterpiece of Qin Province, Blazing Feather, which has only been logged into this website for two hours.
In the work information, after reading the first three free comics, the number of people who top-up and paid to read the subsequent comic chapters has exceeded 90,000. Even every time the interface is refreshed, Li Xing will find that the number of people paying for the work has increased rapidly.
The second-ranked work is still a popular comic book in Qin Province, Soul of War, and the number of paying people has just exceeded 80,000.
The third-ranked work is still a popular work of Qin Province, my teacher's secret, and more than 60,000 paid readers.
From the fourth to the seventh, they are all well-known cartoons in Qin Province.
Only the eighth-ranked work is the work of Jiangsu Province, Xia Zhimeng.
Although it is only a temporary situation, isn't Qin Sheng's work that actually ranks eighth?
Li Xing's eyes condensed, and he wrote down the name of this work. He will definitely come back to read this comic by then.
