A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 123 The Decision and the Unexpected Person

After Xia Yan’s Go to the Moon booklet was released, his personal assets also experienced another wave of rise in the following months. After all, the seven book club committees did not make money from the novel Go to the Moon, and the booklet’s share ratio is quite high.

This also caused Xia Yan's total personal assets to break through the 2000 million mark.

To be honest, this money is considered a huge sum in Longguo, more than enough to set up an animation company.

However, Xia Yan also understands that it is definitely not enough for an outsider to lead an insider. To do many things, money is the first requirement, but it is by no means the only requirement.

If you invest money blindly, there is a high probability that you will be deceived by others like Tang Yin in the end.

But now as soon as she explained Tang Yin's situation, Xia Yan immediately realized that she and Tang Yin were in a complementary state.

Xia Yan has funds, but has no relevant knowledge in the animation industry.

Tang Yin has no money now, but her family runs an animation company, she has considerable knowledge reserves and connections, and the most important thing is that Xia Yan trusts her, which is very important, a person you can trust, which cannot be bought with money of.

"2000 million? Xia Yan, did you rob the bank? That's so much." Tang Yin knew that Xia Yan must be rich, but she really didn't speculate on his income based on the sales of Xia Yan's works in the market.

"These are the proceeds from the previous three works. It's okay. I don't know how to invest, but I don't dare to invest after seeing your investment and being cheated. You will never be cheated if you start your own company and produce your own works." Xia Yan replied

"So you are going to invest in my animation studio?" Tang Yin heard the words, the sadness in her eyes temporarily put away, and she thought about Xia Yan's motivation for doing so.

"You don't think I'm cheated and pitiful, so you spend money to make me happy?"

"What are you thinking? That's the 2000 million I earned by writing a novel for a year. Will I invest it in an animation studio that is on the verge of bankruptcy for such a boring reason?" Xia Yan looked at Tang with a calm expression. Yin.

I worked hard to write a novel for a year and earned 2000 million.
Listen, is this human speech?

Even Song Lingyun, who had no concept of money since childhood, looked strange at this time.

Even if it is her family, if the market is not good, the total profit of the company will be about 2000 million a year.

After Tang Yin saw Xia Yan's expression, she was sure that Xia Yan really wanted to invest in her animation studio, and immediately regained her spirits.

A good relationship between the two is a good relationship, but a business is a business, and she will not confuse these.

"Why do you want to run an animation company by yourself?" Tang Yin asked you curiously.

"Because I want to keep all the copyrights of my own works." Xia Yan paused after hearing this.

There is nothing that cannot be said. If it is not for this purpose, Xia Yan can go directly to many animation production companies to cooperate, but that will eventually cause some copyright confusion.

"Your work..." Song Lingyun asked suspiciously from the side.

"Isn't your new work ready to be serialized on "Liuli Book Club"? Why now?"

"It's another new work." Xia Yan said.

"Haven't it been another five months since I participated in the New God's Ceremony in May? During this period of time, I actually conceived two or three works. I will submit the one that is suitable for writing a novel. I gave it to the Liuli Book Club. As for the other work, I think it is more suitable to be made into an animation.”

After Xia Yan explained, both Song Lingyun and Tang Yin understood Xia Yan's thoughts.

"You, you really have a strong desire to create." Tang Yin exclaimed.

Two works conceived in five months, which doesn't sound like much, but with Xia Yan's personality, the works he can come up with are definitely not simple. Even if it's not as good as going to the moon, Unheard Flower Name must be a good work.

Song Lingyun next to her was silent. She was still thinking about where to start her new work in order to find a chance to defeat Xia Yan.

However, Xia Yan produced two works in such a short time.

"Well, Xia Yan, what do you mean, you take a stake in my animation studio and let me be your employee?" Tang Yin asked after thinking for a while.

"I'm just buying shares, not buying." Xia Yan said.

Xia Yan also knew that Tang Yin's main purpose of setting up an animation studio was to be fed up with her part-time job and want to be her own boss. Her friend, who is a few years younger than her, works as an employee.

If I want Tang Yin to run this animation studio with me, I can only do it as a partner with her.

"If you are interested, we can estimate the potential value of your animation studio's instruments, equipment, funds, and personnel structure as your investment amount. Then, based on the work I am planning to animate, "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" For the production cost, I will pay the full amount of the money, and then divide the equity ratio." Xia Yan said.

Now Tang Yin was really moved by what Xia Yan said.

The cheated money is already a fact, and there is no point in indulging in it.

But now that the animation studio that she has been busy with for more than half a year has the possibility of continuing, she really has no reason to refuse.

"That." Song Lingyun said at this time.

"The two of you seem to be discussing a confidential topic between you. I don't think it's appropriate for me to listen. Otherwise, I'll leave first."

"It doesn't matter." Xia Yan said.

"Everyone is so familiar, besides... this is not a secret..."

After Xia Yan opened the topic, she and Song Lingyun fell silent in the living room of Tang Yin's house.

"That Xia Yan, what I want to say is that you are a novelist. It may be very interesting to serialize your works into novels, but animation scripts are still different from novels. I am very grateful that you are willing to help me in this time period , but... your behavior is likely to cause yourself a huge loss." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan with her eyes, and said softly.

"It's a loss, that's my problem too."

Hearing what Xia Yan said, Tang Yin immediately made a decision in her heart.

"Since that's the case, Xia Yan, I will go to the studio to discuss with my group of employees today, if they are willing. This matter will be handled according to your proposal."

After leaving Tang Yin's house, Xia Yan first planned to send Song Lingyun back to her residence near the school.

He, Song Lingyun, and Tang Yin have their own residences in Shanghai due to their work, and the distance between them is actually not far away.

Today's proposal is just a temporary idea, but since I opened my mouth, I have to prepare a lot of things.

"Song Lingyun that?" After thinking for a while, Xia Yan spoke to Song Lingyun who was sitting with him in the back seat of the taxi.

"What's wrong?" Song Lingyun leaned on the car window with her hands on her white cheeks, thinking about some problems.

"I want to ask you if you have time recently?" Xia Yan said a little embarrassed.

"Do you need my help?" Song Lingyun asked after seeing Xia Yan's expression.

After all, in high school, Xia Yan showed this expression many times to ask her for help.

"You saw it." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Yes, I want to ask you if you have time to teach me about music and painting."

It is also impossible for Xia Yan to come to Song Lingyun to help him restore the score of the original excellent song every time there is an excellent work, and if "Magic Girl Madoka" is going to make an animation, then the screenwriter and first creator of his work, There are definitely more things to consider than just the plot of the work.

The more he knows about character design, painting style, and storyboarding, the better the effect of this work in this world will be.

Xia Yan does not need to be proficient, but only needs to have a general understanding of some basic knowledge, and then be able to use this knowledge to accurately express his ideas to the staff.

Otherwise, Xia Yan would make a big joke if he didn't understand anything and conveyed his thoughts indiscriminately.

Perhaps the feeling of the staff will be the same as that of a programmer meeting a layman Party A, who can't explain clearly the needs.

Song Lingyun knows music and painting, and more importantly, she and Xia Yan are in the same class. Xia Yan can use the fragmented time after class to ask her for this knowledge.

"terribly sorry"

But this time, after understanding what Xia Yan meant, Song Lingyun shook his head and looked at Xia Yan with his pupils.

"I haven't finished the conception of my new work yet, so I have to focus all my energy on it now, otherwise I will be dragged further and further away by you."

"I don't want me to be so unknown when you are famous in the Dragon Kingdom a few years later."

Xia Yan was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Song Lingyun's pupils staring at her, besides being serious, she was still serious.

Even though Xia Yan didn't sign a long-term contract with Liuli Publishing House, his new novels can still be serialized in the journal "Liuli Color".

Moreover, he is also ambitiously preparing to be his own boss and animating another new work of his own.

His previous work Unknown Flower Name has already been animated, and the production of an animated film about going to the moon has also been officially announced nationwide, and it will be released next year.

As for Song Lingyun. Apart from watching himself being pulled further and further away by Xia Yan, he didn't see any tendency to surpass Xia Yan for the time being.

Her coldness and calmness are just appearances, but inside she is very anxious.

Even if she really wanted to help Xia Yan, she no longer had the spare time and energy to do so.

From various perspectives, she is a rare genius writer in the light novel world of Longguo.

But only Song Lingyun, who followed Xia Yan's pace all the way, could deeply understand that he is the kind of existence that makes even geniuses in the industry feel hopeless, and what's more.

"I took it for granted. Sorry, I didn't consider that you also have a lot of things to deal with." Xia Yan said with an apologetic face.

"But Xia Yan, in fact, if you want to learn these things, there are actually many people who can teach you. There are many talented people in Shanghai University. Even if you don't know them, there are still plenty of channels to get to know these people." Song Lingyun Said.

"For example, various clubs in the school."

"Fiction Club, Literature Club, Piano Club, Light Music Club, Painting Club." Song Lingyun said.

"Some people in these clubs are very powerful. For example, some people in the piano club and I lost to me by a small score in the piano competition for high school students. They are very strong. You really go to the society to find Some art students who graduated from parallel import schools teach you, I am afraid that they are not as high-level as the students of Shanghai Metropolitan University, and they are also troublesome."

Society?

drawing, music, learning
Xia Yan blinked
It seems that there is something to think of, but the feeling of being ready to come out has always been separated by a layer of paper. Xia Yan has never thought of this key information.

And what is the message he was about to reveal when he talked with Song Lingyun tonight.
On the next day, Xia Yan knew.

Tuesday, October [-]
When Xia Yan had just finished a class in the afternoon and was about to go home to write a manuscript, outside his major class, a girl in a white dress stood up early without knowing when.

The girl's face was as white as snow, with long eyelashes, clear eyes, red lips, small nose tip, oval face, and curved eyebrows.

Under the corners of her white skirt were slender legs, and she stepped on a pair of light blue sandals. Standing there, she turned heads very high.

And a beautiful person like her, like Song Lingyun in Modu University, is very famous among the boys.

The department flower of the school's art department, Mo Ran.

"Senior Mo Ran? Damn, what is she doing here?"

"Waiting for someone? Does she know anyone in our class?"

"Wait. Song Lingyun walked towards her. Do you know each other?"

Many people in the class were already whispering at this time.

"Yo, Song Lingyun, I haven't seen you for a few years and you're still so cold."

Mo Ran was taken aback when she saw Song Lingyun, then immediately smiled.

"I didn't expect you to study in this class."

Song Lingyun looked at Mo Ran carefully, then spoke softly.

"Still worried about losing to me in the high school piano competition? Now you know that I came to study here just to tell me these things?"

"I'm not so stingy," Mo Ran said softly.

"Three years ago, who remembers so much? It's just a piano competition. I came here to find another person."

The two beautiful girls stood at the door and talked lightly, but a group of male students along the way who were going to sleep in the dormitory after class or go to the cafeteria to cook dinner slowed down and kept looking back at the two of them.

"Looking for another person?" Song Lingyun blinked when he heard this.

Rather, she was being self-indulgent.

"Xia Yan"

Just as Song Lingyun was thinking for a moment, Mo Ran suddenly waved behind Song Lingyun.

Xia Yan?

Did she come to find Xia Yan?
Song Lingyun immediately realized this.

Xia Yan was taken aback when he heard someone calling him, and then saw Mo Ran.

For a moment, he just thought Mo Ran looked familiar, but he didn't remember who she was.

"Didn't I discuss it with you in the coffee shop three months ago. After I entered school, my comic club reported it. I didn't bother you if I didn't come to the military training for the first month of school. Now... come to see your recent situation, right? Too busy, I forgot about it." Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan and said with a smile.

"You guys know each other?"

Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan and Mo Ran with a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

The moment he saw Mo Ran, Xia Yan finally understood what was the important information that he hadn't thought of last night.

Among the people I have met and come into contact with, apart from Song Lingyun who can teach him a little knowledge of painting and music, there is also this person who played the piano in the coffee shop and had a one-sided relationship and was rewarded by him. A working girl with one hundred dragon national coins, a self-proclaimed "part-time cartoonist", the president of the comic club of Shanghai University, and a fan of Xia Yan's novels. Mo Ran.

Xia Yan had been in school for a month before, not to mention what he had talked with Mo Ran back then, after school, he went to the comics club to report on joining the club, and even forgot about the existence of Mo Ran.

but now.
Xia Yan's expression changed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, senior. How could I forget this? Isn't it a little busy the past few days, and I plan to join the club in two days."

　It's still the same, the next chapter will be updated in an hour because I haven't finished coding yet.
