A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 152 The Selection of the Emperor Star Award and the Manga Draft

In late April, the Longguo light novel world Emperor Star Award selection officially began.

In the past year, hundreds of novels born in Longguo have entered the selection list.

But how?

This kind of novel award is basically based on the senior industry leaders of the seven major book clubs, as well as some Longguo novel associations and official literary departments to form a jury, and then select through a complicated selection mechanism.

However, the award for novels is definitely not all based on the likes of the judges. Generally speaking, the works that can win the award must be the most influential novels of the year.

This includes novel sales, ratings, and whether this work has brought potential value such as innovation, change, and development to the novel industry.

Of course, normally speaking, the novel that can win the No.1 Gold Award must be the most popular novel among the new novels of Longguo that year.

After all, the changes and development of the novel world structure are too imaginary, but the popularity of the work is very intuitive.

This selection activity will last for several weeks and is divided into two rounds. In the first round, [-] works will be selected from a series of works participating in the award to enter the second round.

Basically, as long as they can squeeze into the second round, it is for many novel authors.

The status, reputation, and career experience in the industry will all be improved, which is equivalent to achieving the goal of gilding with this award.

As for the works that entered the second round, after another round of selection by the judges, all of them will be ranked.

Xia Yan is also cooperating with Liuli Book Club to shoot advertisements and videos for related activities in the past few days.

After all, it will be on TV then.

But, for this kind of award selection, which he has no way of controlling the process, Xia Yan can only do whatever the book club asks him to do, passively waiting for the results of the award selection to be released.

Moreover, although the popularity of parasitic beasts is very good, it is limited by the type of works and some elements of bloody and novelty. It is not the type of novels in the mainstream genre of Dragon Kingdom. Compared with the novels of other competitors, it does not have an advantage.

To be in the top [-] is a normal performance, to be in the top [-] is considered excellent, to be in the top ten.
Then Xia Yan's novel agent, Bai Xuan, will directly hold a celebration party for him.

After all, in Longguo, in a huge industry such as light novels, being able to write a novel in the top ten of the annual awards is basically the achievement of the big names in the light novel industry.

In the past few days, the TV program about the selection of the Emperor Star Awards on the Imperial Capital TV1 has been broadcasting hotly. Xia Yan has also been promoted on TV as a very important new first-line light novel writer. He is surrounded by people in school these days The rate of return and the awareness of finding his signature have increased significantly.

On the other hand, Comics Club.
Xia Yan looked at the cartoon with a bursting style in his hand, with a confused expression on his face.

"How about it?"

Today, Mo Ran is wearing a light gray short skirt, a loose short-sleeved T-shirt on her upper body, and double ponytails on her head. She is tall and has a beautiful and fair face, but at this moment her big eyes are full of tension.

Although it was only the first episode of the manga for Initial D, it still took her more than three weeks to complete.

She is very clear that she does not have the ability to create plots, and she is not even familiar with vehicles. It took so long to draw the comics of the first episode, mainly for the stunning visual effects of the first episode and to be familiar with the drawing process of racing car comics. The following content will be much faster.

In her words, I actually feel that my painting can be improved, but Xia Yan has limited time, so I won't deduct the details of the painting.But Xia Yan was still amazed when he saw this comic manuscript.

Word D in Parallel World is an old manga after all, the drawing skills and style of the manga back then seem a bit out of date.

But Muran's version
While retaining the realistic style of the original work, the light and shadow of the picture are greatly improved.

Leaving aside the black and white ae86 body in the comics, it is after all an ordinary car.

But Takahashi Keisuke's fd, its appearance is too obvious. Under the close-up of the storyboard, this car is handsome, calm, and heavy, and it is simply a mechanical monster.

And at the end of the first episode, ae86's handsome inertial drift combined with Mo Ran's comic style bonus, even if Xia Yan knew the plot, his handsome heart beat faster.

For comics, as long as the drawing is improved, even the same plot will give people a completely different reading experience.

"It's not bad." Xia Yan let out a long breath.

Can't praise her, save her pride.

But as far as Xia Yan's senses are concerned, he was really impressed by the first chapter of the Initial D comic drawn by Mo Ran.

After hearing the words, Mo Ran's tense expression immediately relaxed, just like a student waiting for the teacher to check his homework. After being praised by the teacher, his heart was filled with joy, and his face suddenly became rosy.

"Then I will follow this style to create the follow-up plot of Initial D," Mo Ran said.

"No problem, it's just that the speed should be faster. If the speed is only one chapter in two or three weeks, it shouldn't meet the serial speed of Longguo Comic Club, right?" Xia Yan said.

"I naturally considered this point," Mo Ran said.

"I will draw so delicately in the first chapter, and I will focus on the later chapters."

"That... I want to ask, is there any pressure in your creation? If you need it, can you ask one or two manga assistants to assist you?"

"No, at least not for the time being." Mo Ran shook her head, looked at Xia Yan with clear eyes, and smiled.

"You haven't worked with me for a long time, little brother. This is the first time I have come into contact with racing car comics, and I spent a lot of time in the creation of the first chapter to complete the conception of characters and scenes. And these preparatory activities have been completed. You will know later. Why am I, Mo Ran, so obsessed with the comics industry? I’m not just good at drawing. Among the people I know in the comics industry, I haven’t seen anyone who draws faster than me. You choose me Partners, you can’t suffer.”

"So confident?" Xia Yan froze for a moment.

"Hmph." Although Xia Yan didn't praise her, she still showed a confident and proud expression at the moment.

But now it's late April, and according to Mo Ran's drawing speed, the three-episode manga can only be completed in May, and then the most troublesome part will come.

For the work of Initial D, Xia Yan absolutely does not accept serialization in small comic clubs, and several large comic clubs in Longguo probably don’t like Mo Ran’s achievements in the comics industry. The chances of being taken seriously in the past are not high.

You have to see that "Genqing", the pen name of the author of light novels, has a little face in the comics world.

In Xia Yan's mind, he planned the details and plans for the serialization of Initial D.

Thursday, April 24.

After a week of fermentation, Magical Girl Madoka has already become quite famous among animation fans.

After all, in an anime with a cute and cute theme like Magic Girl, dare to kill the popular characters of the work in such a tragic way in the third episode.

The screenwriter "Soldier of Love" must be No. 1 in the animation industry of Longguo.

Many Longguo animation fans who haven't watched Magic Circle this season have also heard the name of this work in the past few days.

It's just because the magic-themed animations have been too rampant in the past ten years, and people are tired of aesthetics, so they spray the old-fashioned animations of this theme, but in fact.
Is there any animation fan who hasn't seen several magical girl animations?

As long as your work can create new ideas, there are still many animation fans who are willing to watch this kind of animation.

Driven by this concept, the animation of the third episode of Magical Girl Madoka Magica only had an audience rating of about 1.9%. Duanli achieved a good result of 23% ratings.

It's a pity that the ratings ranking in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry is only based on the ratings of the first broadcast. Otherwise, the rerun ratings of the episode of Magical Girl Madoka could be ranked No. 13 in the new animation series aired across Dragon Kingdom last week. name.

But today.
The popularity of the "Warrior of Love" fan group and account forums, animation audiences began to rise rapidly from [-] pm.

While criticizing the screenwriter "Soldier of Love" for having no conscience, they also made no secret of their love for this work.

What animation viewers hate is not the characters or the plot in this animation.

On the contrary, Ba Mami's death shocked them. The cruelty of the magical girl world in this work also made many animation fans feel the opening of the door to a new world.

But they can convince themselves that they like this work, but they cannot convince themselves that they like the creation god of this work, the warrior who is loved by the screenwriter.

The characters in the story are innocent, but the "soldier of love" who arranged for them to suffer such a tragic experience, he is guilty.
