"This work will surely overturn the entire industry's understanding of detective ics!"
One of the assistants said confidently while sipping his coffee.
Unlike the pessimistic opinions from the outside!
All the assistants in the studio had participated in the creation of the new ic, so they deeply understood its quality!
Speaking of that.
When they first learned that Teacher Shadow would continue to create detective ics, even these overconfident assistants were extremely nervous.
What if the new ic also failed to deliver despite being well-received like The Kindaichi Case Files?
It wasn't until everyone was exposed to the script and officially began creating that these worries gradually disappeared!
In recent days.
What replaced it is the newly resumed powerful confidence!
In not too long, the industry will witness a detective ic that is starkly different from The Kindaichi Case Files!
This time we are invincible!
"Actually, regarding the quality of the cases, I still think our previous detective ics were better, but our current works are more popular, and popularity means mass appeal!"
"Even I, who doesn't understand detective stories well, am attracted by this story!"
"I laughed to death at the first chapter, Conan bees a child after drinking the potion and surprisingly changes his name to Chu Yu..."
"Teacher Shadow is such a joker!"
"But must admit, the name Chu Yu sounds powerful, as if Chu Kuang and Xian Yu are bined!"
"..."
The assistants excitedly discussed.
Lin Yuan chuckled to himself aside.
Yes, he had added some personal touches in the ic.
In the original "Detective Conan," the protagonist's real name is Kudo Shinichi.
For some special reasons, Kudo Shinichi drank a shrinking potion and renamed himself Edogawa Conan--
In the ic's setting, Kudo Shinichi is a fan of Sherlock Holmes!
His pseudonym, Edogawa Conan, pays tribute to the author of "Sherlock Holmes" Conan Doyle, and Neon's top mystery writer, Edogawa Ranpo.
However.
In the Blue Star world.
Chu Kuang is the author of "Sherlock Holmes"!
In this case, Lin Yuan would definitely not rigidly have Kudo Shinichi rename himself as Conan.
There's no need for that!
With a stroke of his pen, he made Conan the original name of the protagonist in the ic.
After drinking the shrinking potion, Conan, in order to hide his identity to find the mastermind behind the scenes, changed his name to Chu Yu!
The reason is:
Conan is a fan of "Sherlock Holmes," he really likes Chu Kuang, so there's a "Chu" in his new name.
As for "Yu"?
Because when Conan was ing up with a new name, he happened to hear someone playing a song called "The Seventh Chapter of Night."
This is a song by Xian Yu.
A Sherlock Holmes-inspired song.
Coincidentally, Xian Yu is also one of Conan's favorite posers, and he is quite familiar with this song.
So----
The protagonist had a "flash of inspiration," and the detective "Chu Yu" was born!
Although it contains some personal touches, it won't affect any of the ic's plot. Therefore, Lin Yuan felt free to do this, otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered.
It's as if Shadow is pulling some strings for Xian Yu and Chu Kuang to collaborate.
It feels pretty good to be quirky.
For the readers, this will also bee an Easter egg that everyone will enjoy discussing.
Just like the origins of the name "Edogawa Conan" on Earth has been discussed over and over again.
As for the name of the ic?
Of course, it also needs to change to "Detective Chu Yu."
Does it sound a little strange?
Of course it's strange.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan knew.
This is just prejudice on my own part.
There's no need for preconceptions. For those who are encountering this ic for the first time, the name "Chu Yu" is not strange. It's just a normal and even somewhat attractive name.
Inserting this into the plot does not feel out of place at all.
...
Agent Jin Mu has arrived.
He looks at Lin Yuan with a worried expression:
"There is a lot of controversy about the theme of your new ic, and it might affect the popularity of the site on its opening day."
"Don't worry, the quality of our ic will prove everything!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Wei nearby says optimistically. She also believes that "Detective Chu Yu" will definitely bee popular!
"This isn't about quality. I certainly trust your abilities and discernment, but there are some misunderstandings about Shadow's decision. We need to eliminate all potential issues at the bud stage." Jin Mu says with a serious expression.
"There's a way."
Lin Yuan asks, "When exactly will the site launch?"
Jin Mu immediately replies, "In another week. Actually, we can launch now, but since it's impossible for you three alone to run a ics website, we are actively recruiting middle and lower-class ic artists. Many contracts are being signed urgently. Even if they simply add to the numbers and fill up the ic library, that's fine."
"Hmm, one week is enough."
Lin Yuan smiles lightly, "Have you forgotten how the ic "King of the Net" became popular?"
"At that time, the Tribe ics site hadn't been established, you directly published on the Tribe site for free..."
Jin Mu says automatically, then paused:
"So, you want to?"
Lin Yuan nods, "Release "Detective Chu Yu" in advance, and publish it for free on the blog. A week is enough for everyone to recognize the excellence of this ic. When the new site is set up, we move the ic over, and maintain a good update frequency. Together with the new works of the other two ic artists, the initial popularity should not be too bad."
"This is indeed a solution!"
Jin Mu's eyes light up slightly.
Releasing the ic in advance can also be seen as an early promotion to draw traffic to the website.
Of course.
The prerequisite is that this ic can convince readers to willingly pay for it. It all depends on the quality of the ic. If it fails, it will only have the opposite effect.
Can they continue with detective ics, really?
Jin Mu looks at the assistants in the studio. Each of their faces is full of ease and vitality, chit-chatting with great enthusiasm...
They are too confident!
In that case, let's do it!
Jin Mu makes a decision: "Publish it tomorrow?"
Lin Yuan says softly, "Better do it today than tomorrow. Let's do it tonight at 8 o'clock."
The original "Kindaichi Case Files" also chose to publish at eight o'clock.
Isn't it said online that Shadow won't accept it, and wants to prove that he can rise where he falls?
Fine.
Then I will show you!
See if I can stand high enough!
"Then it's eight o'clock!"
Jin Mu says, grinding his teeth.
The opinion on the Internet is currently very unfavorable for Shadow.
Some even say that Shadow's continuation of detective ics is a little unfair to the great help provided by Chu Kuang and Xian Yu.
This is not a good sign!
This adverse public opinion must be curbed as soon as possible!
In the next half an hour, Jin Mu contacted Han Jimei and other relevant personnel from the ic website, and confirmed the plan to serialize Shadow's new ic on the blog.
Having finished the relevant work.
The blog updates again: "New ic will be released on the blog tonight at 8 o'clock!"
Together with this update.
The blog has also done the first publicity to attract traffic!
"Tonight at eight, Teacher Shadow's latest ic "Detective Chu Yu" first read, the same reasoning, a different shock!"
Suddenly!
The attention of the entire network is attracted over!
