It was already mid-January.

This time is very delicate.

The selection time node of the Emperor Star Award is in April every year.

Because many novels will be published in the winter of the previous year, in order to give these works a certain amount of time to ferment the plot and spread popularity, the selection time will be in April of the next year.

Of course, novelists who are interested in this award will definitely choose the beginning of the year when releasing new books.

For a work, there is a huge gap between the popularity accumulated in one year of serialization and the popularity accumulated in several months of serialization. If you choose to release a new book in autumn and winter, naturally, in the selection of Emperor Star Awards, it will be more popular than that in spring and summer of that year. Published books are inferior.

From this point of view, the parasitic beast released in November last year suffered a lot.

But that's the way it is, and it can't be changed.

Parasite. Just in January, the popularity of Parasite began to rise sharply, from 10,000+ votes per week to the current 40 votes, and it only took one month.

As Xia Yan's novel manager, Bai Xuan was of course keenly aware of this.

Judging by the current popularity of Parasite.
There is a high probability that Liuli Book Club will submit it to the Emperor Star Awards.

"Do you think it is qualified to enter the top [-]?" Bai Xuan looked at the evaluation of the parasitic beast by those novel critics on the program.

"It's a pity that if the parasitic beast can be serialized in "Liu Li", given its quality, it will definitely become more popular by now. Combined with the high scores of novel readers on this work, even if it is in the top ten, it is very promising. .”

But now, even though the popularity of Parasitic Beasts is rising wildly, it is still a little worse than those works in the three major journals.

After all, a journal sells millions of copies a week, and a journal can sell 2000 to [-] million copies.

Journal audiences are so different, and the popularity of novels will definitely be different.

But no matter what, she wanted to tell Xia Yan the relevant information so that he could be mentally prepared.

late January.
Song Lingyun came to Xia Tang Animation Company founded by Xia Yan and Tang Yin for the first time.

"It's too late for you to become a shareholder. The name of the company has already been determined to be Xia Tang Animation, otherwise it would be okay to call it "Xia Tang Song." Xia Yan joked as he looked at Song Lingyun, who looked like a curious baby in the company.

"I don't care about that." Song Lingyun's expression was as cold and calm as ever when he heard this.

"Okay, show me the animation script of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" that you and Tang Yin keep mentioning in my ears every day."

"Don't worry, I'm going to let you, the new shareholder of the company, meet with the company's employees first," Xia Yan said.

"No, it's okay to go see after reading the script first." Song Lingyun's tone was a little hasty.

Seeing her expression, Xia Yan didn't say much, and took out the animation script and animation storyboard of Magical Girl Madoka from her desk cabinet.
Because of the huge commercial value of Magical Girl Madoka, Xia Yan's script for the company's employees is only the first six episodes.

I'm afraid that someone will talk too much and leak the setting of the animation. After all, Xia Yan was careful when making an animation for the first time, and even small-probability incidents will be taken seriously.

Whenever the animation is produced, the script for that episode will be given.

Song Lingyun sat on the chair, watching the plot of the magic circle seriously.

when watching the first episode
She looked puzzled.

Isn't this an ordinary magical girl theme animation?

This kind of work has hundreds of similar works in the Longguo animation industry.

For this kind of work, Xia Yan needs to invest more than 1000 million in production costs, and spend more than 1000 million to buy playback slots?
Song Lingyun didn't say much, but continued to read.

Chapter two.
It is the daily life of the protagonist, friends, and seniors who have become magical girls.

Under the protection of the handsome senior sister, I gradually came into contact with some knowledge of the world of magical girls, and the role of the cute and cute pet Q Bei also increased.

Um.
Song Lingyun still didn't see any particularly powerful advantages.

Of course, the plot is very smooth, and the characters are also very good.

But, it's the second chapter, why, the heroine Madoka has not become a magical girl yet.

Is the rhythm of this plot procrastinating a bit?
But the script for the third episode.
The protagonist, Madoka and her friends, attacked the witch in the nodule under the protection of her senior sister.

However.
A plot that Song Lingyun could never have imagined came out.

Sister actually
In such a happy atmosphere, he was attacked by the witch, his head was bitten off, and only a headless corpse fell in front of Madoka.

The tragic fate of magical girls is revealed in the third chapter.

Song Lingyun's pupils have enlarged at this moment, and she feels that this magical girl-themed animation is not in the same style as the similar animations she has seen since she was a child.

As a professional novelist, she was still like this. She was shocked when she saw the plot, and felt depressed and uncomfortable in her heart.Not to mention the ordinary animation viewers of Longguo at that time?

Then in the fourth chapter, Madoka's friend made a wish for the boy he likes to stand up again and become a magical girl.
As a novelist, Song Lingyun instinctively sensed that there was something wrong with this plot.

With those foreshadowings laid, no matter how you look at it, I feel that the subsequent plot development will definitely not be as smooth as imagined.

Later, after reading the scripts of the fifth and sixth episodes of the animation, Song Lingyun slapped the scripts on the table.

"Is this the true form of existence of magical girls?"

Song Lingyun took a deep breath, looked at Xia Yan, her heart was surging at the moment.

This is him.

He can also make this kind of innovation with a simple magical girl theme in the rotten streets of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

This animation...is too deceptive.

"What about the next plot?" Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan and asked.

"The early animation production doesn't need the later plot for the time being, so I didn't get it from the company. After all, it's more important to keep the plot secret." Xia Yan laughed.

Song Lingyun's expression froze, but she still held back the curiosity to explore the follow-up plot.

"No wonder, you have such strong confidence in this work. The animation production cost is only more than 1000 million, so you have to spend another 1000 million to make it broadcast on the four major TV stations." Song Lingyun said with a long breath.

"I am you. If you can come up with this work, you must spare no effort to devote all your resources to it."

Song Lingyun put down the script in his hand, with a depressed expression on his face.

"Why, still being affected by the plot?" Xia Yan laughed.

"No. I'm just thinking. I'm growing, and you are growing too. Whenever I feel that I have grown to the point where I have a chance to surpass you, you always take another big step and appear in front of me again." Song Lingyun Looking at Xia Yan.

But as she spoke, she had a smile on her face.

"Perhaps that's why I became friends with you."

"I never look behind me, I only look forward, but no matter how I move forward, your figure is always in front of me. Even if I want to ignore it, I can't ignore you."

Seeing the smile on her face, Xia Yan froze for a moment, but he just smiled and didn't answer.

He doesn't know how to talk about this topic.

Tell Song Lingyun that you should learn to give up, he has a world of cultural wealth, no matter how hard you Song Lingyun works, it is impossible to crush the works of so many creative geniuses in an entire parallel world?

Or tell her, come on, everything is possible with hard work?Make some poisonous chicken soup to brainwash her.

Xia Yan can only say nothing, Song Lingyun will not be crushed by other people's blows, and does not need other people's comfort.

If she is willing to continue to compete with herself, then she is a warrior.

If she gave up one day, it would be her clever brain, which finally recognized the facts through intuition or analysis.
No matter what, Xia Yan felt that she was worthy of respect.

Time came to late January.

Parasite No. 13 and Chapter [-] were serialized one after another.

Qin Lai's death was a foregone conclusion, and the fans wailed.

However, the development of the plot of Parasitic Beast has not stopped, and the plot has progressed to the chapter that Xia Yan personally thinks he likes the most in the whole work.

The plot about the pregnant female teacher parasitic beast
These two chapters of the novel are just the foreshadowing of this chapter, but the number of fans and popularity of the work is still rising sharply.

After the serialization of Chapter 14 ended, the number of votes was already very close to the second-ranked work in the journal.

　A bit stuck tonight, there were many updates yesterday, today the status is a bit worse, the code word speed is extremely slow, and it is an old problem.Today is about [-] words, which is [-] words less than usual. Now that I am sleepy, I will go to bed first. If I am in a better state in the next few days, I will add more words.
