A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 119 Member Invitation and News
"Part-time job. Cartoonist?" Xia Yan was taken aback when he heard this.

Then asked.

"I don't know which comic work my sister created? I may have read my sister's masterpiece."

"You must have never seen it." Hearing this, the girl's fair and beautiful expression darkened, but she still forced a smile and said.

Hearing this, Xia Yan sat upright at this moment.

Although he was a little obsessed with writing novels this year, his daily reading of animation and manga did not drop.

The opposite of the word affirmation is obviously contemptuous of his old Two-dimensional level.

Even if he really hasn't seen her work, Xia Yan will feel very uncomfortable if he doesn't say anything at this time.

"Maybe? I'm usually interested in many unpopular comics." Xia Yan said seriously again.

"My works... haven't been published in the market, how can you see them?" The girl paused after hearing the words, and said in a tone of extreme reluctance.

Not released on the market.
Xia Yan immediately understood the meaning when he heard it.

That is to say, I have never been able to contribute to a manga magazine.

Now Xia Yan was embarrassed.

There was ten seconds of silence between the two.

"Okay, let's not talk about my part-time job in comics."

The girl carefully took out the pamphlet of going to the moon from her bag, and then looked at Xia Yan with bright eyes.

"Sign it for me."

Xia Yan paused for a moment, this senior said she was his fan, but in fact she was completely easy-going when facing him, completely different from the novel fans she met before.

And the personality is very lively, a little familiar.

But just to sign, Xia Yan will not think too much.

After seeing the two characters "Xia Yan" in the booklet of "To the Moon".

The girl looked satisfied.

Then, her coquettish operation came.

She tore a page of the notebook out of her bag.

"As the so-called reciprocity, you give me an autograph, and I will reciprocate your autograph."

A few seconds later, a piece of paper with the words "Mo Ran" written on it was sent back to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan stared at the signature in his hand in bewilderment. But to show respect, he solemnly kept it.

"Don't take it lightly." Mo Ran saw Xia Yan's bewilderment, and smiled slightly.

"Although I am not well-known in the comics industry for the time being. But one day, I will definitely become one of the few popular female cartoonists in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry. You and I exchange autographs. It is not a loss at all."

"In fact, I have been very interested in comics for a long time. I have always thought that being a cartoonist is also a fascinating career. Unfortunately, I am handicapped, so I became a novelist. Senior sister has such lofty ideals, which really makes me."

Xia Yan also began to speak politely.

Among other things, during this year's contact with many book club staff and animation company staff in the society, these nonsensical polite words really blurted out, and they were all used by others to compliment Xia Yan on weekdays. He followed suit.

"Are you also interested in comics?"

Mo Ran, who was about to leave with her bag, had an interested expression on her beautiful face.

"Are you going to change careers to be a cartoonist?"

"Cough cough cough" Xia Yan almost choked on the coffee.

Senior sister, where did you hear what I meant?

"It can only be said that I was interested in this industry before." Xia Yan said.

"Is that so!" Mo Ran rolled her clear eyes when she heard this, and said.

"Then if you really enter Shanghai Metropolitan University, you can inquire about the student club of the comic club. I am the president. We will recruit new members at the beginning of the school year. Reserve a member position."

Xia Yan blinked, just about to refute.

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, I have something else to do. It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about Shanghai University and can't find a manga club. I'll just come to you when the time comes. Principal, it will be easy to inquire about you when the time comes."

Mo Ran stroked the hair beside her ears, waved goodbye to Xia Yan, and then trotted out of the coffee shop.

what.
Xia Yan looked at her back, and it took him a long time to calm down.

Although I feel that she is acting a little weird, but talking to her, I feel inexplicably comfortable.

Forget it, looking at her like that, she is a person who is popular for 3 minutes. I probably forgot about what clubs I want to join after school starts.

Shaking his head, Xia Yan drank the coffee in the cup without wasting a single drop.

He is not willing to pay a few hundred yuan for a cup of coffee.

Although I think this thing is not as good as the instant coffee in the supermarket.Food without added technology and hard work will indeed taste a little worse.

July
Xia Yan was fine in the Modu area for the time being, and soon went to apply for a driving school.

The vvvip package provides one-to-one round-the-clock service. The coach will never dare to scold you, and will hand you water when you are tired from studying, ask you if you want to smoke, and you don’t have to worry about making an appointment for the exam.

Everything is good, the only downside is that it is expensive.

the other side.
The sales results of the first week after the release of To the Moon booklet are released.

Seventeen provinces across the country, sales in the first week, a total of
180 million volumes.

As for the cyberpunk crime domain, the second-ranked novel on the New God Ranking, the sales volume of the single book in the first week was only 91 copies.

In Longguo, there are indeed some popular novels that have sold tens of millions of copies.

But those works are not released every month or every week.

So in the last week, the title of the single-book sales champion of Longguo novels in a single week fell to "Go to the Moon".

These sales data are published in many magazines. Many readers actually read novels by looking at the sales list. Works with high sales may not be good-looking, but novels with low sales must be rubbish.

This notion is deeply ingrained in the minds of many fiction readers.

After mid-July, the work of Going to the Moon set off another wave of discussion in Longguo.

Tang Yin's father's "Sugar Man" film industry also strikes while the iron is hot, announcing the news of "To the Moon" animation film.

For a while, Xia Yan's fans all over the Dragon Kingdom fell into a carnival together.

In mid-July, Xia Yan's college entrance examination results were released, with a total score of 453 points, which is an extremely mediocre result for students of Nan Province No. [-] Middle School.

But this also means that Xia Yan can directly fill in the Letter of Intent of the Special Recruitment that he signed before, and he will be admitted to the Department of Literature of Modu University, and 100% will be admitted.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Yan received a congratulatory call from the teacher of the school's admissions office.

And wait until mid to late July.
Bai Xuan also gave Xia Yan a formal answer.

She asked Xia Yan to meet again and gave Xia Yan a contract.

As for the content of the contract, it was basically what Xia Yan and Bai Xuan discussed.

"There will be several serial vacancies for the journal Liulise within two months, and for Parasitic Beast, after our team's evaluation, everyone has given a high evaluation to this novel. I will do my best to help Xia Teacher Yan, you are striving for one of these opportunities. So... happy cooperation."

After Xia Yan signed the cooperation contract, Bai Xuan smiled.

The time has entered August.

It has been more than a month since Xia Yan came to the Modu area, and he gradually got used to the climate and culture of this place.

At this time, in the entire Longguo novel world, he has not been active for three full months.

But recently, Tang Yin's situation is a bit special.

She is busy with her business plan, and sometimes she doesn't have time to make a phone call with Xia Yan for a few days.

Seeing her serious attitude, Xia Yan doesn't want to bother her.

Instead, I made a phone call once to ask where Song Lingyun University wanted to apply for the exam.

Song Lingyun replied to him meaningfully, and you will know when the time comes.

In a flash, the time came to mid-August
When Xia Yan was preparing to welcome her college career, a notification came from the novel manager Bai Xuan.

His novel "Parasitic Beast" has been selected together with two other works, and a meeting is going to be held in Liuli Publishing House recently to decide which work will be published in the journal "Liu Li Color" in three weeks. Serialized.

In a journal like this, a serial quota may not necessarily be vacant for a month.

So the opportunity is rare, if you miss it, you don’t know how long you will have to wait.

But Parasitic Beast is different from Xia Yan's previous works. This work is not slow and has a novel theme.

And with its quality, it should not be a big problem to compete for a serial quota in a Liuli color journal.

Thinking of this, the tension in Xia Yan's mind gradually faded.

As for the other side.
An office of the Liuli Publishing House.

Meng Lin, who once met Xia Yan, now has some documents and information on her desk.

"Don't sign a contract with me, and go to sign a contract with Bai Xuan?" Meng Lin had a dissatisfied expression, and then shook her head.

"Forget it, geniuses are always proud and arrogant, which is normal. However, who can serialize works in Liuli Bookstore, who wasn't a genius novelist when he was young?"

"The consequence of not signing a long-term contract is just for you to bear at the novel serialization meeting."
