A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 19 Tang Yin's Proposal

In fact, Xia Yan doesn't need the editor to point and point. After all, what he produced are mature commercial works in the parallel world, and blind changes may be superfluous.

"In view of the achievements of your novel, I have to be serious, otherwise the senior management of the book club will criticize my work attitude. You are a student, and you don't have time to often come to our company to discuss the plot of the novel manuscript with me. Starting this week, I will go to your home from time to time to review the manuscripts of your novels, and strive to make the quality of the novels as perfect as possible.

Xia Yan was silent for a while.

"Well, let me ask one more question, if the plot of my finished novel disagrees with your opinion, what should I do?"

"I will explain my opinion, explain the truth to you from the market sentiment, the pitfalls of the novel, and the wrong plot experience made by the predecessors, and finally let you modify the plot." Tang Yin said softly after hearing the words.

"Then what if I stick to my opinion?" Xia Yan said in a deep voice.

Tang Yin was silent for a few seconds.

"Your opinion is the main point. But in this case, if the novel's popularity declines and there are bad reviews, the responsibility is all on you. If the book club chooses to cut your novel in half, I will not intercede for you. " Tang Yin said.

"Understood, everything will be done as you said." Xia Yan nodded.

He didn't reject Tang Yin's proposal either. Anyway, if she asked Xia Yan to change the main plot, Xia Yan would definitely not change it.

But it is not useless for Tang Yin to come to his house to review the manuscripts from time to time. At least she is very experienced in handling the descriptions and plot details in some manuscripts.When submitting the novels of the first three chapters of Journey of Youth to her, I made minor revisions after listening to her suggestions, and the reading experience was indeed much better.

The call between the two was quickly hung up.

Tang Yin stretched her waist in the office, her black dress outlined the beautiful curves of her chest and abdomen.

"It's already seven twenty, another night of overtime work."

Tang Yin looked at the clock, and without wasting time, she called another person, Song Lingyun.

Song Lingyun's home is located in a wealthy villa complex in the north of the city. Basically, many well-known wealthy people in Nancheng and even Nan Province are in this area.

In the evening, she was lying on the bed in her room, looking intently at the book in her hand.

She has watched the plot of "Youth Journey" Chapter 1 three times.

Futaba and Kou's first meeting, misunderstanding, separation, reunion after three years, and the conversation in the plot.
Song Lingyun covered her eyes with her snow-white arm, covering the light piercing down from the ceiling.

In the darkness with closed eyes, a picture was formed in my mind.

That rain in the novel, that shy boy, that innocent girl, that girl blurted out a misunderstanding, see you again in three years, the boy said "things are different, everyone can't go back!" of speech.
Everything in the plot seemed to constitute a clear picture, which made Song Lingyun feel a touch of sadness in his heart.

"He writes really well." Song Lingyun got up from the bed and looked at herself in the mirror.

Wearing a black and white school skirt, she has a graceful figure and a delicate and beautiful appearance, but at this moment, there is a trace of frustration on her pretty face.

Because she knew that, as far as the novel Chapter 1 was concerned, Journey of Youth was better than Yesterday's Starlight she wrote.

"But... he's a boy! Why can you write such a girly romance novel?" Song Lingyun's eyes flashed with puzzlement and disbelief.

Xia Yan's journey of youth is more delicate than a novel written by a girl, and the heroine is more lovable than the heroine in a novel written by a girl, which is a bit hard for her to accept.

"No! Don't be discouraged, the novel is only serialized for the first issue, but you haven't lost yet."

Song Lingyun looked at herself in the mirror and cheered herself up.

"Boom boom boom! Xiaoyun, if you are tired, go to bed early, don't study too late."

Outside the door, the mother's greeting sounded after knocking on the door.

"Got it." Song Lingyun responded quickly, her heart pounding.

There is still a manuscript of the novel on her desk. If her mother comes in and sees it, she will not be able to explain it.

But it is definitely impossible to sleep. According to the creative plan, I have to write a novel of [-] words tonight.

"Ring bell bell!"

The phone on the bed rang, Song Lingyun saw that it was Tang Yin calling, quickly grabbed the phone, and connected the call immediately.

What Tang Yin said on the phone was the same as what she said to Xia Yan before.

It's just that the novel performance data notified to Song Lingyun was replaced by
"Among the thirteen novels in this issue, the number of votes is the seventh, and the rating is the third?" Song Lingyun's tone sank.

"What's wrong with you? From your tone of voice, you don't seem very happy about your grades." Tang Yin said on the other end of the phone.

"It's nothing, I'm very happy!" Song Lingyun quickly replied softly.

But in fact she is not interested in any data other than the first.

Third, seventh?
It's unimaginable what a bad pick it is.

This is a grade ranking that has never appeared in her ten years of student career examinations.

But novel creation, after all, is not taught in school.

The social workplace will not be as simple as school.

Although Song Lingyun's mood was low, immediately followed by a surge of fighting spirit.

"That, editor Tang Yin"

"I've said it many times, call me Tang Yin, and I'm more used to hearing people call me that."

"Tang Tangyin, I would like to ask, like the starry sky yesterday, the novel "Journey of Youth", which is newly added to the series in this issue, how is it doing?"

"That novel, to be honest, is a bit powerful. It ranks fourth in the number of votes in this issue, with a score of 9.2. It ranks first among the thirteen novels." Tang Yin paused before saying comfortingly.

"But don't be discouraged. A good score in serializing Chapter 1 does not mean that you will be able to maintain it in the future. I am optimistic that your "Yesterday's Starry Sky" will come from behind, and your score will surpass Youth Journey."

Hearing this, Song Lingyun took a few deep breaths.

Sure enough, I lost to that novel.
Although it was expected, it is still difficult to let go after learning the accurate news.

"Understood. Tang Yin. I will work hard."

The following conversation between the two also focused on Tang Yin's review of editing work.

"Come to review the manuscript of the novel?" After hearing this suggestion, Song Lingyun immediately panicked.

If Tang Yin came to the door for an audit, would it be okay?Doesn't the whole family have to know that she, Song Lingyun, is not doing her job and secretly writes serial novels at home every night?
"Well, Tang Yin, can you put this matter on the weekend, and I will personally bring the novel manuscript to Hongfeng Literature to find you to discuss and correct the plot of the novel." Song Lingyun said.

"what happened?"

Song Lingyun thought for a while, and then told her creative situation in a low voice.

"There is a high probability that your family members don't support you in writing novels, so you have been secretly writing without telling them?" Tang Yin frowned upon hearing this.

"But our company doesn't work on weekends, and I have other things to do on weekends!"

Tang Yin's words reached Song Lingyun's ears through the mobile phone.

"However, your novel has such good grades. It's impossible for an editor like me to just ignore it and just accept it at a fixed time every week. That would be too risky, especially if you are a newcomer novelist, and the plot goes awry at the end of the story. The risk of pits is greater."

Tang Yin pondered for half a minute, and Song Lingyun on the other end of the phone already felt heavy pressure.

Finally, Tang Yin thought of something.

"Then can you go out at night?" Tang Yin asked.

"Going out?" Song Lingyun thought for a while and said.

"This... is not a big problem. I can use the excuse of studying with the piano teacher, painting teacher, flower arrangement, and tea art teacher to make up lessons, and go out to study until I go home before twelve o'clock in the evening."

"Hey, so free?" Tang Yin froze for a moment.

"After all, my family trusts me very much, and I have learned this way since I was a child. In addition to the courses in school, supplementary classes for Mathematical Olympiad, competitions, vocal music, art, and kendo have filled my spare time. The family is used to it."

"Then you don't usually have any entertainment?"

"Yes, secretly reading novels in the room. Also in the room, secretly writing novels. After all, watching anime, playing games and so on will make noise, and may be discovered. But reading novels is different, safe, hidden, It's easy to hide." When Song Lingyun said this, his tone was lighter.

Because the other party is the only reliable editor who knows that she is creating light novels, Song Lingyun also said a little more about herself.

You... your childhood was so pitiful.

Tang Yin's expression froze for a moment, but she forcibly held back the hurtful words.

"Well, I understand your situation, and I can't accept my door-to-door visit. But during the daytime on weekdays, you have to go to school, so you can't come to the bookstore to discuss with me the content and direction of the novel. On weekends, I don't go to work , and there are other personal matters."

"In this case, the only time the two of us can deal with novel issues together is the evening on weekdays. As long as you can come out at night, it's not impossible to find another place to deal with these issues. It's just a matter of time arrangement. I Think about it."

Tang Yin thought for a while, her eyes lit up.

"You don't mind having another person next to me when discussing the plot of the novel?"

"Another person? Who is it?" Song Lingyun asked after hearing the words.

"The author of Journey of Youth. Like you, he is a signed author under my banner. Anyway, I have to review both of your novels, and to a certain extent, give guidance and suggestions on the direction of the plot, and the time is also limited." Only from Monday to Friday, if you can agree on weekday evenings, I will undoubtedly save a lot of time and effort here, and don’t waste time running around.”

"Eh? Is that "Yuanqing"?"

"Well, that's right. Anyway, you are both newcomer light novel authors, and you are about the same age, and you are both." Tang Yin hurriedly shut up, and almost said that Xia Yan and Song Lingyun were alumni.

"Is he a difficult person to get along with?" Song Lingyun asked.

"No, I think he's very easy to get along with. Although his attitude towards people is not that enthusiastic, in fact, getting along with him is quite satisfactory. Moreover, two new writers, getting to know each other and communicating with each other can also improve their writing ability. Promotion. How about it? If you agree with my proposal, then I will go to him to discuss it, and I will inquire clearly and make sure that he can keep your identity secret before finally choosing to do so." Tang Yin said.

"I, I." Song Lingyun hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"can."

　Vote if you have a vote.Thank you.If you have ideas about the plot, you can also make suggestions. If it makes sense, the author will adopt it.
