Chapter 60: New Year's Eve

After the popularity of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance chapter was counted this week, the cuttlefish, and even the entire Los Angeles comics industry, no longer knew how to evaluate this work.

Although the news that Shui Xin is a male teenager has not yet 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 attractive.

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 of 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 Los Angeles province.

In the entire Los Angeles comics industry, faintly, more and more people have used the title of Los Angeles’s No. 1 cartoonist to refer to Shui Xin...

......

This weekend, the whole Long Country is immersed in joy. After all, 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 cooked a table of New Year's Eve dinner by himself, and after putting incense on his parents, Chu Yu was also quite content by himself.

On Weixin, Zhao Qinyin and Su Lu both sent him blessings.

Cuttlefish’s 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 Chuyu's status as a high school student, nowadays the career of a cartoonist has undoubtedly a greater impact on his life.

At Zhao Qinyin’s home, she turned on the TV after having a New Year’s Eve dinner with her grandma, 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 manuscripts in Chu Yu's house, but Zhao Qinyin still smiled and went along with her grandma all night and chatted with her.

......

is not the same as Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin, a lonely family member 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 almost forty people, centered on Su Lu's grandfather, and there were almost five people at the table.

"Xiao Lu, why this year is another one to come back for the New Year!"

"What about boyfriend?" Su Lu's grandfather asked first.

"Where is her boyfriend! I said last year that I would take 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 taking advantage of the Chinese New Year. I will ask someone out the day after tomorrow. You guys will meet... If it’s done, you won’t have to go to Mingcheng to be a comic editor. They are all so old, and they are still inseparable from those little kids..."

here we go.

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 are also coming.

The Dragon Star Award selection official website was created by the Seven Magic Capital University for the selection of 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 six weeks, really need to pay attention and there is no need to watch the website.

But there are always exceptions to everything, 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 to the New Year, the start of the Dragon Star Award selection also excites them.

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". 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.

It is normal for fans in neighboring provinces not to understand the popular comics in the other province.

According to reason, in this situation, 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, all of them ran to watch online serialization, which caused a huge drop in sales of comic magazines and a sharp drop in the income of comics.

There are examples of previous failures, and later comic companies are very tacitly focused only on physical journals.

This 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 comics agencies 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 after watching them...

The selection of the Dragon Star Award just meets the needs of Dragon Manga fans who want to know what kind of comics in other provinces are.

is genuine, and they are basically the first-name comics in various provinces. The viewing experience is undoubtedly much better than the pirated posts on Xinman.com, and you can also complain and leave comments on the website in real-time comic reading.

So every year, when the Dragon Star Awards start judging, the flow of people on the judging official website will reach a terrifying value during the Chinese New Year period.

...

At two o'clock in the morning, the Dragon Star Awards official website updated these comics two hours later.

When    entered the Dragon Star Award 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 chapters of the free comics, the number of people who top-up and paid to read the subsequent comic chapters has exceeded 90,000, and 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, and the number of people paying for it has just exceeded 80,000.

The third-ranked work is still a popular work in Qin Province. The secret of my teacher and I, the number of paid readers is more than 60,000.

From the fourth to the seventh, they are all well-known cartoons in Qin Province.

is only the eighth-ranked work, it is the work of Jiangsu Province, Xia Zhimeng.

Although it's only a temporary situation, isn't Qin Province's work that ranks eighth?

Li Xing's eyes condensed, and he wrote down the name of this work. He will definitely come back to read this manga by then.
