Compared to Chu Kuang and Xian Yu’s positions in their respective fields, Shadow, in terms of fame and influence,gged far behind the two. Even the fans that simultaneously followed the Three Bros, tended to overlook Shadow. However, with the release and sess 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 sess of “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”, Luo Wei stayed up all night in excitement.


    Her mind was filled with fantasies of Shadow bing 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 sess 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 sess 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 ie generated from the roaring sess of “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” was causing his reputation as a painter to rise steadily. “Boss.”<div>


    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’bel. But we need to keep pushing to firmly secure one of the three pir positions of Tribe Comics!”


    Lin Yuan was curious, “Three pirs?”


    Jin Mu said, “I only recently learned from research that the top three rankedics on the website are usually nurtured as pirs by the site. Whether it’s on-site rmendations 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 pir-level manga.”


    Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Meanwhile, Luo Wei eximed, “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 animationpanies that showed interest in “King of the Net”, Divine Wings was the mostpetitive, with a consistent reputation for producing high-quality animations.<div>


    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 sessfully alleviated some of the workload off Lin Yuan and Luo Wei.


    As the serialization progressed.


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


    But it didn’t advance any further.


    Lin Yuan was not disappointed about this. To secure the top spot on the website’s poprity 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 gships by mangapanies 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 pir 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 Schr”, 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′ Zhouughed, “It’s fine, but the investment ratio needs to be decided by thepany. We’ll discuss thatter. Can I have a look at the script first?” “Sure.”<div>


    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 yourst 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 withedy?”


    This was an obvious question.


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


    Jumping fromedy to suspense all of a sudden?


    This choice left people puzzled.


    The sess of “Flirting Schr” was already proven.<div>


    As long as Lin Yuan made a simr film following the first one’s form, 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 Schr” 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 exin 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..”
