Chapter 42: Summit

The editor-in-chief of Cuttlefish Comics Agency's selection method for the number of entries for the Dragon Star Award has spread throughout the industry in a very short time.

Regarding the struggle between Manying's works in the last two months at the end of the year, not to mention the people from other comic companies, even the people inside Cuttlefish looked a little dumbfounded.

At the beginning, everyone’s thought was that Dong Yun deserves to be Dong Yun. The new work is so fierce, and Mr. Shen Xin estimates that it won’t be long before she will give up the number one position.

But after a few weeks, everyone looked back and found out that the real dark horse was still behind.

Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, although everyone gave it a very high evaluation when it was serialized in the conference, everyone did not think that once this work was serialized, it was so aggressive.

From eleventh to third in the manga, this work only uses five words.

How long does it take to go from third to first in serialization?

Two weeks?

Three weeks?

Or, just today?

......

Although Song Jiayu has been calm at work these days, some cuttlefish employees who ran to Song Jiayu’s office to report to work can tell from the cigarette butts in his office’s trash can and the strong smell of smoke in the air. Song Jiayu feels very upset.

He can also feel the anxiety of the situation himself.

If this development continues, the Dragon Star Award entries will be gone, and the secret girl’s dream of reaching the top will be gone.

But he has nothing to do.

Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter, he has used his greatest strength to give it a neglect in publicity resources and typography of comics.

In the entire Ming city, buses, subway stations, comic exhibitions, bookstores, among all the promotional resources that cuttlefish spend money on, the hidden girl definitely has the best resources.

This is also an important factor for the Hidden Girl to be able to drive the Demon Realm to desperation in just a few serializations.

On the contrary, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, not only does not even have the basic publicity of the new serialization convention on the comic, but also the manga cover character, under the signal of Song Jiayu, after so few issues, this work has not even shown a single character.

But even so, this work can actually be killed, what can Song Jiayu do?

Originally, according to Song Jiayu's vision, with the development momentum of the Hidden Girl, in one or two weeks, it was a certainty that the popular vote surpassed the Demon Realm. At that time, the qualifications for the Dragon Star Award were still not readily available.

However, the birth of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, seems to be to make the hidden girl difficult from the beginning.

The serial conference lost to Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance. Now, at the critical period when the Hidden Girl is about to reach the top, this work has appeared again.

And it's in the critical period of competing for the qualification of Dragon Star Award.

Song Jiayu was really disgusted by this work during this time.

Song Jiayu checked the time, it was already past six in the afternoon.

Soon, the voting statistics of this issue will be released. After the voting results of this issue are released, it is very likely that new comics will reach the top of the movie.

Is the work of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance reaching the top, or the secret girl who wins, or is it the success of the demon world that continues to defend?

Many editors of Cuttlefish Manga Club, although they are not of their own concern, they still focus on this matter.

After all, although Song Jiayu is in the comics, there are many people who flatter him, but there are also many people who want to see him embarrassed.

Although these people were not as miserable as Su Lu, Song Jiayu did not give them less anger.

...

Soon, a short message of the popular voting order set by Cuttlefish’s voting system was sent to the mobile phones of the editors of Cuttlefish at this moment.

Su Lu in Chu Yu's home, Song Jiayu who smoked in the office after work, editor-in-chief Pang Feng, and the editors of Cuttlefish Comics, all received the text message at the same time.

"How is it?" Chu Yu asked.

Su Lu’s beautiful face can’t see the emotions, anger, sorrow, or joy, but... her eyes have become dull the moment they see the text message.

Soon, her breathing started quickly.

Seeing Su Lu like this, Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin almost guessed what the result was.

Although both of them had a foreboding of this result, things really developed as expected, and they still couldn't calm down.

"Have you reached the top?" Chu Yu asked.

Su Lu took a deep breath and looked at Chu Yu.

"Ok!"

is a short word, which seems to be an understatement, but the trembling of her voice tells Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin that she is not at peace in her heart.

Su Lu texted his cell phone to Chu and Yu to watch.

The first few lines that caught the eyes of the two of them were the first few lines of the text message.

First place, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, forty-two thousand four hundred and seventy-two votes.

Second place, Hidden Girl, 38,966 votes.

Third place, Demon Realm, 38,456 votes.

Forty thousand...

Only this number of votes made Zhao Qinyin a little surprised.

Cuttlefish’s historical record of popular votes is a little more than 39,000 votes. Before today, there has never been a work that has exceeded the 40,000 votes mark.

And this issue of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, not only won the popularity vote, but also refreshed the past popularity voting record of Cuttlefish Comics.

For Zhao Qinyin and Su Lu, it is like a dream to achieve such results in the comic works they participated in.

Especially for Su Lu, the significance of this work's reaching the top not only made her breathe out.

The evil spirit suppressed by Song Jiayu in the past few months is even more severe. After all, the work of Rurouni Jianxin Remembrance is stepped on the secret girl in charge of Song Jiayu to get the chance to be serialized in the comics, and now, it is even more so. At the critical moment when the hidden girls competed for the first place in the vote, they were the first to reach the top and squeeze them to second place.

Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter's summit means that in the four weeks of January, in the battle of three comics for the qualifications of the Dragon Star Award, Chu Yu was already in an absolute position.

at the same time that Chu Yu learned of the results.

In his mind, a mechanical voice rang Congratulations to the host, unlocked the achievement of the cuttlefish journal, and rewarded a B-level lucky draw. "

This sound...System?

B-level lucky draw chance?

what is that?

Chuyu is a little confused.

But he did not immediately explore what it was. After all, he needed his consciousness to be immersed in the system space. At this time, Zhao Qinyin and Su Lu were still there. If he did that, it would be in the eyes of Zhao Qinyin and Su Lu. , He is no different from being stupid.

"Go!" Su Lu suddenly got up.

"What?" Chu and Yu looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"where to?"

"Celebrate Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter to the top of the movie, let's go out and celebrate."

"What about work?"

"What are you working on! Are you going to have winter vacation in school in a few days? Are you afraid that your cartoons will not finish after such a long vacation?"

"Oh, don't grind!" Su Lu didn't give them time to think.

pushed and pulled the two out of Chu Yu's house and drove to a KTV.

ordered a bunch of wine, took the microphone and started singing.

At Chu Yu's house before, she wanted to shout out loud, but out of adult restraint, she resisted it.

Now, when she comes here, no matter how loud she wants to vent, she won't affect others.

It's only a pity that Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin followed her here and listened to her soul singing all the way. Later, they got bored. They played cards and drank...

As a result, it goes without saying that Chu Yu didn't even remember how he got home.

...

(It’s a bit late tonight when I get off work tonight, just this chapter.)
