A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 141 Hot discussion and development

The next day, Xia Yan was invited by Liuli Book Club to the company headquarters early in the morning.

Because the parasitic beast will be transferred to the journal "Liu Li" in two weeks, the cover poster of this novel will be redesigned, and the publishing house will also take a few photos of Xia Yan, which will be attached to the serial journal. The vast number of light novel fans of the periodical as a gift.

The routine operation of the three major journals is over. Anyone whose work can be serialized on it will have to go through this process.

These behaviors of the book clubs have also led to light novel writers being comparable to stars in Longguo.

After all, the book club understands the fan economy very well, and knows that if a novel wants to get out of the circle, it will be very useful to operate the novel author more, not to mention.
Most of the light novel writers are young and middle-aged, oily, potbellied, and gray-headed due to the pressure of serialization. There are not many young and handsome light novel writers like Xia Yan in the industry.

This also caused the eyes of the internal photographer of the book club to light up after seeing Xia Yan.
A few days later, Parasite Chapter 19 was successfully serialized.

The plot of this chapter is mainly about the male protagonist Xin Yi, in order to save more people, he cooperates with the government to find a way to eradicate the parasitic beasts.

Of course, Goto, the strongest parasitic beast in the entire work, also showed up a little bit.

The plot is relatively flat, but the total number of votes from readers still exceeds 60 votes, ranking first.

Another week passed.
During this week, the first three volumes of Parasitic Beast's booklet were released smoothly, and they are hotly sold across the country.

As for the first three volumes of Parasite, their respective first-week sales were 196 million copies, 189 million copies, and 188 million copies.

With this result, it can only be said that even though Liuli Bookstore was mentally prepared, the sales volume still exceeded their forecast by nearly 30.

The average sales volume in the first week is about 190 million copies, and the total sales volume will exceed 500 million copies, which is basically a certainty, and the average volume will be 600 million copies
The general plot of the three-volume single-volume novel is also serialized in the plot of Chapter No.16 of the novel.
It's early March
The serialization date of Chapter 20 of Parasite.
But this time, it is no longer serialized in "Liu Li Color".

"Liu Li", one of the three major light novel periodicals in Longguo, on the cover of this week's periodical, is a high school boy with an indifferent face and firm eyes, dressed in a black school uniform, with a steel knife transformed from a piece of flesh in his right hand. The tip of the knife is Xiaoyou's equally indifferent and calm eyeballs looking directly outside the cover of the journal, looking at the novel readers of this journal.

Handsome
That's the first impression most readers of this journal will have this week.

The appearance of Xiaoyou and Xinyi really hit people's hearts.

After disassembling the journal, on the page of Parasite Chapter 20
It took about a thousand words to briefly introduce the world view of the previous plot of Parasite. All in all, it is almost an outline of the story, so that fans of the new book can have a general understanding of the previous plot of Parasite, and clearly announced the three volumes of Parasite. The news that it has been released means that you are obviously interested in this novel?Go buy a booklet.

After these contents, there is a photo of Xia Yan in the book. Behind the photo is about Xia Yan's experience and achievements in the light novel world.

Wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, her hair was styled by a hair stylist, and she even posed a poss in front of the camera.

It's different from the formal photos of those light novel writers in the past. After all, readers are tired of seeing the same image of middle-aged authors.

Not to mention anything else, just from the author's appearance and age.
Many readers have become interested in this work from the image of the author.

It wasn't until they read the novel Chapter 20 directly, and saw the plot of parasitic beasts eating people after reading less than [-] words, that they were a little confused.

Such a cute little boy, why did he write such a scary and bloody novel?
next day
The novel ranking results of Parasite Chapter 20 are released.

The total number of votes was 503215, ranking sixth among the journals.

Although the number of votes is less than when it was serialized on Liuli Color, but in fact
There are many more readers who read this novel.

When it was serialized on Liuli Color, there were 600 million readers, 400 million watched Parasite, and 60 voted for Parasite.

But after it is serialized on Liuli, there may be 900 million people who read this novel, but only 50 people voted for the parasitic beast, because
The readers' votes were all sucked away by the top three works in the journal "Liu Li".

The fantasy novel "Crimson Abyss", the total number of readers' votes, 2956781 votes, and the voting rank is 1.

Another world light novel "Other World Labyrinth", the total number of readers' votes, 1504368 votes, and the voting rank is 2.

Romance light novel "You and Me!", the total number of readers' votes, 1095461 votes, and the voting rank is 3.

These three novels have been serialized on "Liu Li" for more than two years, and Crimson Abyss has been serialized for almost four years.

After all, a novel is serialized once a week, with 70 to 200 words in one issue, and [-] million words in a year, and two or four years in serial, and the text volume of the novel is only a little over [-] million words, which is not too long.

They are the pillar novels of "Liuli Book Society" in recent years.

Over the past few years, these three works have been unshakeable top three novels, each of which is a popular light novel of Longguo, whose novel volumes have sold more than [-] million volumes, and the number of readers' votes in journals has exceeded one million The only three novels.

As for the other novels in the journal, the basic number of votes is concentrated between 20 and 70, which is quite different from these three novels.

"Sixth?" After seeing the results, Xia Yan was still a little bit disappointed.

He never thinks that Parasite will be worse than other works, but the fan popularity accumulated by those works for three or four years is unlikely to be easily surpassed.

"There are four more episodes." Xia Yan thought.

There are four more issues, and the parasite will be over.

In this short period of time, it is unlikely that Parasite will grow beyond the popularity of the top three works.
but
How to put it, let the other nine works in this periodical know that the work of Parasitic Beast did not come to be gilded in the periodical of "Liu Li".

Parasite may not necessarily be the kind of work that can gather a lot of popularity in a very short period of time, like giants and Tokyo foodies, and promote the influence of the work to a phenomenon-level animation.

But in the parallel world, with the precipitation of time, it is the final evaluation of the three major delicacies.

Xia Yan still feels that before the end of this work, it will still shock the competitors in the journal
Time entered March, and Xia Yan's second semester of freshman year officially began.

At this time, the spring animation market has come to an end, and a large number of animation fans in Longguo have begun to pay attention to a kind of work in the summer animation market.

110二部作品，其中投资额在5000万以上的大作动画4部，3000万以上的中等投资动画8部，1000万以上投资的中小成本动画作品有39部.
There are 1000 animation works with flyweight investment below 61 million.

Needless to say, those 1 animation works invested by Dazhong are basically broadcast on the four prime time slots of Modu TV and Didu TV's 2 and [-].

Other works are based on the strength of their own production companies, independently negotiated and negotiated, and choose the broadcasting stations to broadcast.

Basically, 90.00% of the quarterly new animations have to be paid to TV stations for broadcasting.

This is the case in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is also the case in the island countries in the parallel world. Many animation companies pay TV stations to broadcast their own original animations, which can be regarded as advertising fees for their works.

However, Longguo's management and broadcasting expenses are generally more appropriate for one-third of the animation production cost, which is the most cost-effective combination.

For example, for an animation work with an investment of more than 3000 million yuan, one-third of it is 1000 million yuan. If this work chooses to spend this money to seek a broadcast position on the top four popular TV stations, it is very appropriate.

But what did a group of animation fans in Longguo see today?
The low-cost animation "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" produced by "Xia Tang Animation Company" has a total investment of only 600 million, but you are willing to spend 300 million to buy and broadcast on TV1 in Shanghai?

In the animation area of ​​the Jiuxiao Forum, many animation fans have already discussed this.

"Xia Tang Animation Production Company? Does anyone know about this company?"

"Well, I don't know."

"New animation company?"

"should be."

"An animation with an investment of 600 million yuan actually spent 300 million yuan to promote it. The owner of this company is really a genius!"

"The effect of publicity is based on the quality of the work. Spending so much money on publicity and broadcasting slots, but reluctantly spending money on animation production and script polishing, is a typical layman's practice."

"Magical Girl Madoka? This... this name of the animation, did I come to the animation industry ten years ago? What era is it? Magical Girl, Madoka? I laughed so hard."

"Magical girl animations have been rotten in the past few years. The plots are the same and boring. Those who can produce this kind of works are all series works of old animation companies. They make money to sell peripherals. I didn't expect this kind of start-ups to exist. It’s really cute that the company dares to engage in this kind of animation.”

"I think, when the time comes, this animation will be bloody. The production cost plus promotional cost will be more than 3000 million, and the new company will not have a fan base. By then, it will be too difficult to earn back the money in the peripheral market."

"Magic Girl Madoka, you don't need to say more about this kind of work that will hit the street as soon as you hear it. I also think it will make blood rush."

"Hey, this cruel animation industry, this animation start-up company probably won't see it in the next quarter."

"why?"

"It must have suffered serious losses and went bankrupt."

"Wait, brothers, when you were discussing this work, I dug into the information of the producer of this work. Do you know the name of the screenwriter of this animation?"

"what is it call?"

"Soldier of love! Hahaha, I laughed so hard, warrior of love."

"."

"In these days, there are animation screenwriters who are so secondary? Take this kind of funny stage name?"

"I don't know if the warrior of love will cry when the animated blood pounces! I hope he can still spread love and laughter to us."

"From the screenwriter's stage name, I have already guessed that Madoka Magica Magica is definitely an animation full of love and laughter. Really, the screenwriter conveyed these things to our readers, and made the animation behind his back. Crying because of the loss. This is really contradictory."

The name of "Fighting Street Animation Company" is "Xiatang Animation Company", the name of "Pop Street Animation Company" is "Magic Girl Madoka", and the name of the screenwriter of "Pop Street Funny Animation" is "Soldier of Love". ", coupled with the money spent on publicity and not on production, this work has gathered all the elements of the street. I hope this work will not ruin the reputation of the TV station of Shanghai TV1. When the time comes, watch it It’s ridiculous if the rate is too low, but that’s TV1 in Shanghai.”

On the Internet, after the release of information on many works in the summer animation market, Magical Girl Madoka still caused some discussions on the Internet.

Of course, these concerns and heated discussions are basically based on complaints.

It's just a retro work with the theme of magical girls. It doesn't matter if you make complaints about it properly, and no one will really pay too much attention to this work.

mid-March
After Xia Yan submitted the last chapter of Parasitic Beast's novel to Bai Xuan
He let out a long breath.

The serialization of this novel lasted for nearly five months. Although the volume of the novel is not large, the serialization period was quite stressful.

Xia Yan was mainly afraid that he would ruin the work of Parasitic Beast.

But as far as the status quo is concerned, it's okay.

"Your ending." After reading the last chapter of Parasitic Beast, Bai Xuan's expression froze.

The biggest advantage of Parasitic Beast is its stability. From the beginning to the end, the quality of the plot is as interesting as ever. Even the final chapter has a lot to watch.

"I don't know why a young man like you has so many life insights? From Chapter 1 to the last chapter, the work of Parasitic Beast is all about humanity and the meaning of life. Although the theme of your work is profound and connotative, but in the journal Serializing this kind of work is a natural disadvantage."

"After all, there are still a lot of novice readers in journals, and old-fashioned works like Parasitic Beast are a bit at a disadvantage."

"Well, I almost know this in this serialization. Next time... I will try my best to write a novel that is suitable for young people to read easily and happily." Xia Yan laughed.

the next one.
Bai Xuan felt relieved when he heard this, at least to a certain extent, it could remind Xia Yan that after the end of Parasitic Beast, he had no intention of changing jobs.

"Okay, the next work. I'll wait for you, the talented novelist recognized as the most brilliant novelist in the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry in the past two years, to write a masterpiece, which will stir up the situation in the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry." Bai Xuan's face showed With a smile, he made a joke with Xia Yan.

"That's natural." Xia Yan looked at Bai Xuan, nodded seriously and said.

　Speed ​​up the pace, otherwise I feel procrastinated.
