Luo Wei smiled and said, "It's been almost a year."
Lin Yuan was stunned: "What year?"
Luo Wei still smiled: "Have you forgotten the agreement we made at the beginning? I lost to you in Chinese painting that day, so I agreed to be your comic assistant for two years. Today is almost a year away from that time, and I have already graduated from university!"
"One year left?"
Lin Yuan suddenly realized: "I'm in my fifth year of college!"
It is July now, and Lin Yuan has just entered the summer vacation of his senior year. Although he is not officially in his fifth year yet, he will be a formal fifth-year student when school starts in September. It’s just that Lin Yuan has taken too many leaves and didn’t pay much attention to this matter.
"Clam?"
Luo Wei blinked her eyes. "You don't even remember your school days, so you certainly don't remember our other agreement. You said at the time that if I did a good job as an assistant, you would teach me Chinese painting. I thought I was doing pretty well, right?"
Lin Yuan: “…”
He really forgot about this.
However, Luo Wei reminded Lin Yuan that Lin Yuan had said these words.
The reason why Lin Yuan agreed to teach Luo Wei Chinese painting was mainly because he received a system task.
The task required one to increase his painting reputation to over 300,000 within one year!
The mission reward is a golden treasure chest containing master-level painting techniques!
And now, the task deadline is very close!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said to Luo Wei: "After Death Note is released, I will find time to teach you Chinese painting."
"good!"
Luo Wei nodded excitedly.
Although she likes comics, her love for Chinese painting has never disappeared.
Lin Yuan did not continue chatting with Luo Wei, but thought to himself:
"System, can you give me some reminders about task times in the future?"
Many tasks in the system have time limits.
The last time I completed the task of recruiting disciples, I exceeded the time limit.
Although the system gave in in the end, Lin Yuan felt that the system would not always be so easy to talk to. Wouldn’t it be a pity if the completion date of the task was missed due to time issues
The system mechanical voice replied: "OK."
Lin Yuan curled his lips and said to Luo Wei, who was getting up to pack her things and prepare to go home, "Let's start drawing Death Note formally tomorrow."
Luo Wei was surprised: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Yuan said: "You don't need to worry about the specific reasons. Anyway, if you publish it earlier, you can also learn Chinese painting earlier."
Luo Wei put on her schoolbag and said, "If you say so, I'm really excited!"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Then let's start tomorrow."
The task of increasing your painting reputation to 300,000 within a year will end in more than two months.
Lin Yuan has to publish "Death Note" before the deadline.
Lin Yuan’s current painting reputation is 270,000.
In other words, Lin Yuan is still 30,000 reputation away from completing the task.
And if the manga "Death Note" is successfully released, wouldn't it be easy to get just 20,000 or 30,000 reputations
This is why Lin Yuan was suddenly in a hurry to release "Death Note".
The task is not easy and will be invalid if it expires.
Besides, the reward rate for this task is so generous, that's a master-level painting technique!
According to the system's judgment, the master level is the top of the pyramid in an industry.
…
With the impetus of the task, the studio started working enthusiastically the next day, and successfully completed one "Death Note" after another.
Lin Yuan was also working in the studio.
He now trusts Yi Chenggong and Shen Qing more and more, so he goes to the crew to supervise less and less frequently. In other words, when he needs the dog to cooperate with the acting, he just goes there himself.
“I’m more of a dog trainer than a screenwriter.”
At least that’s what Lin Yuan thought. The crew didn’t need him at other times.
While creating "Death Note", Lin Yuan also let Kaneki contact Tribal Comics to discuss the profit-sharing of the comics contract.
After the huge success of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", Lin Yuan now has the capital to raise prices.
"It's okay to raise prices, but I don't think it will be much higher."
Jin Mu smiled bitterly and said, "It's mainly because the cartoonists in Chuzhou are too good. This has affected our later results."
Why did the popularity of "Food Wars! Soma" drop drastically in the middle and late stages? Did it lose its status as a mainstay
The first reason is that this comic is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue.
The second reason is that the Chu people have arrived!
The Chu people are best at animation.
When Chu joined the merger, Tribe Comics recruited dozens of comic masters at once.
These great gods from Chu have released new works one after another. Several of them have become very popular, directly suppressing the Qin and Chu people.
All we can say is that Chu people are naturally invincible in the field of animation.
Just like the Qin people were good at music, there is no solution.
Lin Yuan didn't have to get a high price: "Then it's up to you."
"good."
Kaneki breathed a sigh of relief? Then he said: "So are we planning to release this comic in August?"
"How about August?"
"Okay, August is not bad."
Lin Yuan was puzzled: "What's good about it?"
Kaneki explained: "August is summer vacation, and there are many students. The vast majority of comics are read by students. If comics are released at this time, they will attract more attention."
"oh."
"But August is good? It also means that the competition in August will be more intense. I just checked and the tribal cartoonists who have announced that they will release new works in August are all very powerful. Among them, there are two heavyweight big names? Both are famous cartoonists in Chu."
“I see.”
Lin Yuan certainly knew what Jinmu meant by fierce competition. Websites usually promote newly released comics. However, the promotional resources are limited. The top resources of the same period are usually only allocated to the most popular cartoonists.
Competition mechanism for recommended positions.
If there is no cartoonist more popular than Lin Yuan during the same period, then the best resources will of course be allocated to Lin Yuan, but if there are two cartoonists whose status is not inferior to Lin Yuan, then the resources will have to be competed for between Lin Yuan and the other two.
As for the best resources, of course they should be given to whoever's new work is more popular.
After all, compared with the two Chudi cartoonists, Chu Kuang is definitely not bad.
"oh."
Lin Yuan was not worried.
Of course Jinmu didn't know how calm Lin Yuan was, he was still a little worried.
But he was very good at comforting himself:
"We are panicking, and so are they. Those two cartoonists must be worried that our new comics will take up their resources for the new book period. After all, the boss's comic skills are not to be underestimated... Speaking of which, if we win the new book period this time, it will also bring honor to our Qin people's comics. The Chu people suppressed our comics, so they are very proud."
Lin Yuan: “…”
This kind of regional dispute will not disappear easily just because of the merger of continents. Everyone always subconsciously compares with each other.
Speaking of which.
This was not the first time that he had been compared to the Chu people. This time, he had just changed his disguise.
