A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 138 Discussion and Cooperation

"So, the book club has basically confirmed that you will submit your parasitic beast, Mr. Yuanqing, to the selection of the God Star Award, so... you may need to cooperate with the book club to shoot some promotional posters and interview videos with reporters during this time. .”

Because of Xia Yan's good credit, there has not been a single delay in the serialization of Parasitic Beast so far. Xia Yan's novel agent, Bai Xuan, will never bother him if there is nothing to do.

However, from Chapter 14 of Parasite, it is only a few thousand votes away, and it will come to the second place in the "Liu Li Color" journal.
The book club is also very decisive here, and has already submitted the application for the competition selection of the work of Parasitic Beast three days ago.

"Oh Emperor Star Award." Xia Yan nodded upon hearing this.

Having been in the novel world for two years, Xia Yan certainly knows what the Emperor Star Award is.

Basically, it can be regarded as the best novel award born this year in the Jackie Chan Kingdom novel circle.

When Xia Yan heard that her work was submitted to participate in the awards, she also became energetic.

"What is the award process for this award?"

"The award process." Hearing this, Bai Xuan's pretty face froze, and she began to organize her words after thinking for a moment.

"Basically, it is the new novel serialized by Long Guo that year. Works with an average sales volume of more than 100 million copies are eligible to participate in the awards. Of course, the specific order of this award will be determined by the jury according to the popularity of the novel, the plot , quality, readers’ reviews and other factors to comprehensively consider”

"Hey, it's not determined by the number of readers' votes in the novel like the new god ascending the rank." Xia Yan said.

"Of course not, but the popularity of the work must have a great influence on the selection of the jury."

"For parasitic beasts, the most important thing is to participate in this award selection." Bai Xuan looked at Xia Yan.

"After all, in the journal "Liu Li", all three new novels published last year were selected for the award, and "Starry Sky" and "Qing Ze" also have seven novels participating in the selection. Our novel can enter the top fifteen in the selection That's it."

"Top fifteen?" Xia Yan was silent for a while after hearing this.

In a country as big as Dragon Kingdom, where the light novel world is so prosperous, its local creative strength is also very strong.

Although the work of Parasitic Beast is excellent, it cannot be said to be able to crush the works of light novel writers like Longguo.

Moreover, the work of Parasitic Beast itself is the type that needs time to accumulate word-of-mouth. The longer the time, the better the work's word-of-mouth will be. Participating in this kind of selection itself does not have an advantage.

But Xia Yan still felt that even if the popularity of the platform where Parasitic Beast was serialized was not top-notch, this work should be in the top ten or even top five of the year in such a selection.

"There is still a period of time before the selection in April. By then, your parasitic beast will also be finished. If the quality of the plot behind this work is as high as usual, it is not impossible for the ranking to be a few places higher. " Bai Xuan seemed to see Xia Yan's thoughts, and said with a smile.

"Don't feel ashamed of being in the top 2. Jiang Jingyi also knows that last year the new God ranked No. 72, and the three novels she created in the previous three years all participated in this Emperor Star Award selection, one time 64, one time 32, 20 at a time. There are many capable people in the Longguo light novel world. In the past 1 years, there have been as many as ten talented newcomer writers like you who have ascended to No. [-]. In addition, many people have accumulated a lot of knowledge. , Novelists who only became famous in middle age, these people are basically still working hard in the industry."

"Under the activeness of this group of people, even in just one year, there are many excellent works that have emerged in Longguo. In such a highly competitive industry, a new novel written by one person, To be able to be considered by many people to be in the top [-] of the year before the awards start. This is actually quite remarkable."

"That's right." Xia Yan nodded after hearing the words.

Just like the Japanese island in the parallel world, the so-called top ten and top twenty works of the year in the so-called Two-dimensional world are actually considered popular works, although they are not as popular as sea of ​​dead flames, which have been serialized for decades. works, but at least temporarily lead the industry trend.

but
The place where the work of Parasite really sublimates the plot is still in the second half
"I have confidence in the follow-up plot of Parasitic Beast. Now let's see how much influence this work can create in the world of Dragon Kingdom novels before it ends." Xia Yan said with a smile.

Until the end, the greater the influence of the parasitic beast in the Dragon Kingdom novel world, the more helpful it will be for its Emperor Star Award selection.

"I hope so too." Hearing Bai Xuan's words, a smile was drawn on her ruddy lips.

The first semester of Xiayan University is over.

One week after the official start of winter vacation
The Spring Festival is coming.

Song Lingyun went home for the Chinese New Year, Tang Yin said, she didn't want to go home and be ridiculed and urged to marry by her father, so she spent the Chinese New Year with Xia Yan directly in the "Xia Tang Animation Company", and the two of them also exploded during the Chinese New Year. Gan, and some employees who are also not planning to go home for the New Year perfect the animation details of the magic circle.

For an ordinary animation work, with the industrialized process production capabilities of the Longguo animation industry, it may only take three months from project approval to the broadcast of the first episode.As for the number of subsequent episodes, it can be produced while broadcasting.

But Xia Yan's requirements for Moyuan's work are still high, so the production cycle for it is quite long.

"I said, has the broadcast schedule of the magic circle been decided?"

In the office, Xia Yan asked Tang Yin.

Inside the company, Xia Yan mainly communicated with members of the animation production team on the details of animation production, while Tang Yin was responsible for some external affairs.

"Well, TV1 in Shanghai, we have preliminarily confirmed the intention to cooperate with them. It will start on April 300 at [-]:[-] p.m. every Thursday. It took [-] million to negotiate the broadcast position." At this point, Tang Yin's expression showed A pain in the flesh.

"It's so dark, these TV stations."

Thursday is not a good time in itself, and nine o'clock in the evening is an even worse time, and it costs 300 million.

"Don't feel bad."

"After all, it's Shanghai TV1. Compared to Shanghai TV2, it's a little bit better. It's expensive, and there's a reason for it." Xia Yan said.

Of course, even though he said that, his heart was actually very painful.

The production cost of Rubik's Circle was only 600 million, but the broadcast fee was only 300 million.

This ratio is absolutely deformed in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

"The three of us, it can be said that all of our wealth is invested in this animation." Tang Yin took a deep breath.

"If there is any accident in the broadcast of this animation, it will really become a pauper, and it will be a problem to eat at that time."

"Haha, you don't have to worry about that. At least I still have hundreds of thousands of manuscript fees every month at Liuli Publishing House. If you and Song Lingyun are really bankrupted by my animation, then come to live in my house. You two have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation." I am fully responsible." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"It's like being adopted." Tang Yin joked with a smile on her face.

Xia Yan's expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly. He also realized that what he said just now was inappropriate. Although the relationship between the two of them is good, such words are indeed somewhat misleading.

"It's just that you are rich and famous now. Why are you still single after a semester? Is there no girl you are interested in in such a big Shanghai University?" Tang Yin changed her words and began to ask Xia Yan about this. topic.

"Well, I do have some new female friends."

Xia Yan thought of Mo Ran, a senior she met after entering university
Speaking of which, the manga she collaborated with a senior from the light novel club should have already started to be published. When will you buy it and take a look and vote for her.

"But when it comes to falling in love, I haven't found anyone who has this feeling for the time being."

"Hey, it's very dangerous, Xia Yan. If you still have this kind of mentality in the beautiful city of Shanghai, maybe you don't like girls!"

"What do you mean?"

"You try to get in touch with more boys." Tang Yin smiled and said solemnly.

"What about you? You are still single after graduating from university for three or four years, don't you also like girls?" Xia Yan retorted decisively as he was not one to suffer.

When Tang Yin heard this, her expression immediately became dangerous.

Seeing her expression, Xia Yan knew that she had stepped on the tail of a tigress, so she quickly shut up.

The two often stayed in the company after Xia Yan had time during the winter vacation, and bickering like this became a daily routine.
As time passed, the animation production of the Magic Circle was on the right track after the preparatory work was completed, and the progress was rapid.

While Xia Yan is in charge of the serialization of light novels, the writing of Magic Circle scripts, and the work that does not connect with animation, he is also restoring the classic songs of Magic Circle in the parallel world to this world.

The one-semester study with Mo Ran in club activities was quite useful. Although the progress was slow, Xia Yan was still able to try to restore the basic staves and restored pieces by himself.

During this period of time, the light novel serialization of Parasitic Beast has seen a steady increase in popularity.

When it is serialized to Chapter 15, the journal ranking officially comes to "Liu Li Color" second, when it is serialized to Chapter [-].
It is only a gap of more than [-] votes from "Cyan Seal", which is the number one journal.

Xia Yan's fans also unite at this time.

Help Xia Yan solicit votes for this work in various forums, websites, and fan groups.
