Chapter 268: Chapter 250 Why Not Continue to Make Comedies_l

Compared to Chu Kuang and Xian Yu’s positions in their respective fields, Shadow, in terms of fame and influence, lagged far behind the two. Even the fans that simultaneously followed the Three Bros, tended to overlook Shadow. However, with the release and success of “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”, this gap has somewhat narrowed. Nevertheless, Shadow’s influence in the manga circle still could not be mentioned in the same breath as the other two That was Luo Wei’s perspective.

Having witnessed the great success of “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”, Luo Wei stayed up all night in excitement.

Her mind was filled with fantasies of Shadow becoming a top magnate in the manga circle and joining hands with Chu Kuang, which led to her almost drifting off to sleep when she arrived at the studio the next day.

However…

Her excitement and expectations triumphed over the drowsiness.

“The current margin doesn’t mean much. Eventually, Shadow will achieve the same level of success as Chu Kuang and Xian Yu!”

With that thought in mind.

Luo Wei felt a tangled mix of emotions when she saw Lin Yuan again.

When they first met, she never imagined that Lin Yuan could achieve such great success in the manga circle under the pseudonym, Shadow. Not only was he skilled at drawing, but he was also extremely adept at creating manga scripts!

Lin Yuan was pretty pleased too.

The significant income generated from the roaring success of “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” was causing his reputation as a painter to rise steadily. “Boss.”

Jin Mu, who has fully embraced his role as an agent, smiled and said, “With the release of this manga, we’ve pulled off your ‘pure painter’ label. But we need to keep pushing to firmly secure one of the three pillar positions of Tribe Comics!”

Lin Yuan was curious, “Three pillars?”

Jin Mu said, “I only recently learned from research that the top three ranked comics on the website are usually nurtured as pillars by the site. Whether it’s on-site recommendations or off-site promotions, they receive the best resources. This is essential for the website to consolidate its standing in the industry using the influence of their pillar-level manga.”

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Luo Wei exclaimed, “We can increase the update frequency! To get good results, we need to update quickly! I’m not afraid of the hard work and exhaustion!”

“Haha.”

Jin Mu chuckled, “Assistant Luo is certainly enthusiastic. However, famous manga artists in the industry usually have several assistants helping. Even if we want to speed up updates, we may not necessarily be faster than others, unless we continue to hire…”

“Uh.”

At his words, Luo Wei’s face scrunched up, “Is Uncle Jin unsatisfied with my performance?”

“On the contrary.”

Jin Mu earnestly said, “Assistant Luo is no longer just at the level of a manga assistant. You can now take over half of the boss’s tasks. I’m thinking of hiring two real assistants, one for the boss and one for you, Assistant Luo.”

Luo Wei smiled, “I have no objections.”

She was Lin Yuan’s first assistant. With the studio hiring more staff, the new ones could only serve as second or third assistants. This would not affect her job but instead help her a lot.

Lin Yuan also nodded in agreement.

Jin Mu nodded, “Also, about the animation adaptation of ‘King of the Net’, I have already discussed it with Divine Wings. Regarding the contract…”

Lin Yuan said, “I’ve reviewed the contract. It’s fine. I’ll authorize Uncle Jin to sign it for me.”

Recently, Jin Mu has been following up on the animation adaptation of “King of the Net”, finally deciding to partner with Divine Wings.

Among the animation companies that showed interest in “King of the Net”, Divine Wings was the most competitive, with a consistent reputation for producing high-quality animations.

Jin Mu had also discussed the contract with Lin Yuan prior.

In the following days, Jin Mu hired two more assistants for Shadow Studio to serve as the second and third assistants for the creation of “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”, which successfully alleviated some of the workload off Lin Yuan and Luo Wei.

As the serialization progressed.

“Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” indeed secured the third place in the website’s popularity chart, showing no signs of a downward trend after a high start.

But it didn’t advance any further.

Lin Yuan was not disappointed about this. To secure the top spot on the website’s popularity chart with “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” would be quite a challenge. While this manga was impressive, the manga artists from Blue Star were not to be underestimated.

Furthermore…

The theme always favored most by readers was hot-blooded fighting manga. There hadn’t been any flagships by manga companies that weren’t of the hot-blooded fighting genre. In a sense, “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” had already created a miracle. Who would have thought that a niche genre like a cooking manga would end up as a pillar work?

Apart from that.

Lin Yuan finally started considering his second movie. He sought out 01′ Zhou.

“A new film?”

On hearing Lin Yuan’s intention, 01’ Zhou instantly perked up, “Is the script for your next film written yet? Let me take it back to evaluate. We need to decide how much investment is suitable!”

Lin Yuan said, “I also want to invest.”

Having tasted the sweetness of “Flirting Scholar”, Lin Yuan was now thinking of investing in films himself.

01′ Zhou was stunned, “You want to invest too?”

Lin Yuan nodded, “Is that not allowed?”

01′ Zhou laughed, “It’s fine, but the investment ratio needs to be decided by the company. We’ll discuss that later. Can I have a look at the script first?” “Sure.” freewёbnoνel.com

Lin Yuan took out the script for “The Pianist” that he had worked on for some time.

The title hadn’t changed yet.

By the time the movie is released, an alternative title “The Pianist” would be added.

In Lin Yuan’s presence, 01′ Zhou flipped through the script for a while.

After not even five minutes, 01′ Zhou suddenly looked up at Lin Yuan and carefully said, “This film…well, it seems quite different from your last one, doesn’t it?”

“It is different.”

Lin Yuan said, “This one is a suspense film.”

01′ Zhou instinctively wanted to frown but held it back, only the corners of his eyes twitched, “Why aren’t you continuing with comedy?”

This was an obvious question.

Anyone with a normal mindset would know that Lin Yuan should make a comedy for his new film.

Jumping from comedy to suspense all of a sudden?

This choice left people puzzled.

The success of “Flirting Scholar” was already proven.

As long as Lin Yuan made a similar film following the first one’s formula, preferably with the original cast, the box office was guaranteed to be great!

Some high-ranking officials even wanted 01′ Zhou to discuss a “Flirting Scholar” sequel with Lin Yuan.

But not only was there no sequel, even the genre and style of Lin Yuan’s new script had changed!

This simply didn’t fit with the style of the film circle.

Lin Yuan said, “Let’s go with this.”

Lin Yuan couldn’t explain that the system simply provided him with the script for “The Pianist”.

There was no other option.

01′ Zhou wanted to say more but finally nodded, “Alright, I’ll take the script back for study..”
