A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 195
Sugar Man Pictures can be regarded as an upper-middle-scale company in the Longguo area, active in the film and television, TV series, and animation industries.

I have engaged in many businesses, but in fact I am not very proficient in any of them.

Back then, Xia Yan sold the copyright of going to the moon to Tang Ren because of the face of Tang Yin's father's company.

But in fact, Xia Yan didn't know much about this company.

But those are not important. After meeting and having dinner with the main creative team of the big animation film, Xia Yan also started to cooperate with the other party to promote the movie "To the Moon" in late September.

The fields of animation and light novels are all affected by Magical Girl Madoka, and the forums are full of news about this work. It may take more than a month for the situation to improve.

However, the film industry has not been so affected by Madoka Magica, so the news that To the Moon will be released on October [-] spread quickly, and it was not overshadowed by the popularity of Madoka Magica, which attracted the attention of many movie fans.

The original work is the No. 780 novel in the selection of Xinshen Dengjie. After more than a year since its release, the average sales volume of the single volume has reached an astonishing 9.7 million copies. The reader score of this novel on the Nine Heavens Forum has reached a terrifying [-] points of praise. On the big ticket app, millions of people expressed their expectations for the movie before it was released.

Judging from all the circumstances, this movie is definitely a work worthy of attention among the movies released recently.

Moreover, the slogan of the famous novelist and cartoonist "Yuanqing" in Longguo is directly displayed on the promotional page of the movie, which reminds many people of their memories.

Many people in Longguo may have seen Xia Yan's works, but they are not interested in Xia Yan as the creator. Now when the movie promotion page reminds them, these people immediately react.

"Genqing? Is that the manga author with the initial D?"

"It seems that the author of the parasitic beast is also Yuanqing!"

"That's right, by the way, let me tell you more, the animation screenwriter who has never heard of Huaming is also this guy. If anyone has seen his animation works, if you have confidence in him, you can go to the theater to support him."

"Damn it, I've read all these works, but I haven't paid attention to the author's name."

"Normally, many works are famous on the Internet, such as the two works of To the Moon and Unheard Flower Name, and the two-dimensional work of tear-jerking love. These two works will definitely be mentioned, but there are not many creators. People want to understand."

"Isn't this Yuanqing a manga artist? I chase after his initial D every week. Why is he still writing novels and acting as an animation screenwriter?"

"That's right, this is only 19 years old, how come he has created so many works and made achievements in so many industries?"

"Because he is a genius."

"19 years old? You told me that Yuan Qing, the author of Initial D, is only 19 years old?"

"No, don't you all know about this? The photos of these two people have been given away twice in the serial journal "Beizhou" with the initial D. The talented boy and girl cartoonist group Xia Yan and Mo Ran from the Dragon Kingdom, As long as people who read comics don't know this, there are three-dimensional posters of the two of them everywhere in the bookstore!"

"I don't quite understand. The posters and small gifts that are sent out from time to time in the comic periodical of "Beizhou" are thrown in the locker. I don't even look at them. I'm only interested in comics, not the authors."

"Listen to what you say. Is the screenwriter of the movie "To the Moon" to be released on the [-]rd famous?"

"of course?"

What about "Soldier of Love?"Animation, novels, comics, game industry, I only know "Soldier of Love" who have been out of the circle recently. Even if I don't watch animation, I know that Longguo's latest work called "Magic Girl Madoka" is very good. This Comparing "Yuanqing" and "Soldier of Love", who is better?"

"Although the teacher "Yuanqing" is very powerful, compared with "Soldier of Love", it still feels a bit worse."

"A little? It's a lot, okay. Magical girl Madoka's phenomenon-level animation is rare in 20 years, [-] years. "Soldier of Love" can be regarded as a god in the animation industry. But in Genqing's words, the initial D is just In "Beizhou" reached the top, "Parasite" is only the sixth "Liu Li" in the novel industry. From the perspective of performance, whether it is in the comics industry or the light novel industry, Yuan Qing can only be said to be the top in the industry, and he has not yet reached his strength. Overwhelming the crowd."

"But I just think Mr. Yuanqing's initial D is very good-looking. Magical girl Madoka is also good-looking, but I don't think it exceeds the initial D."

"I also have the feeling that the initial D is more attractive to me than the magic circle."

"What kind of rubbish is "Yuanqing"? Can it be compared with the teacher "Soldier of Love"?"

In the beginning, it was just a normal post discussing Xia Yan's pseudonym "Yuan Qing".

But when the mysterious animation screenwriter "Soldier of Love" was introduced in the comment area, soon, when I went to the comment area of ​​the big lunar animation movie, the taste changed.

After all, among the new faces in the two-dimensional industry in the past year, apart from the warriors of love, Yuanqing's achievements are the most impressive.

In fact, these two people have been often compared by others recently. Similar topics can be regarded as arousing the sensitivity of fans on both sides.

But this is only the behavior of some fans, most people are quite sensible, just eat melons and watch the show.

But this can be regarded as increasing the fame of To the Moon before it was released to a certain extent.

October [-]rd was the day when the civil war ended in the history of the Dragon Kingdom. On this date plus the weekend, the Dragon Kingdom had a five-day holiday.

It can be regarded as a relatively good movie schedule in the Longguo film industry in a year, otherwise this movie would not be released at this time.

Although To the Moon has a high fan base for the original work, the other five works competing in the same period are basically big-produced movies with big directors and big stars gathered in Longguo.

So in the next few days
Although Xia Yan also cooperates with Sugar Man Films to promote the "Go to the Moon" movie, but in fact, the outside world is not particularly optimistic about the performance of "Go to the Moon" movie in this schedule.

Of course, it’s not enough to belittle it. The media in the film industry just regard going to the moon as a general-grade novel turned into a movie, and it’s also an animated version.

Based on the 3000 million production cost of Going to the Moon plus the more than 1000 million publicity costs and the pre-screening popularity of the movie, the media have given a pre-screening forecast that the total box office of this movie will not exceed [-] million.

What is a movie?It belongs to the end of the entertainment industry. A little popular novels, comics, games, animations, and even classical mythology works will move closer to this direction. The original work of To the Moon is indeed very popular, but compared to other movies, it is also popular. Actors, excellent screenwriters, and directors join in, and the investment is higher than going to the moon.

Such expectations from the outside world are also normal.

As for Xia Yan, when he entered the propaganda group for going to the moon, he probably felt this kind of atmosphere.

Including "To the Moon" animation director "Tian Fu", the box office expectation for this film is that it can exceed [-] million, which is considered qualified, and breaking through [-] million means that it has achieved an excellent pre-screening box office goal.

After all, animated films don't necessarily have to rely on box office profits, and the profits in the surrounding markets are also promising.

Just when Xia Yan left Shanghai, he was helping to go to the moon for a road show in several first-tier cities in Longguo.

September 27
In the area of ​​Modu, inside the Liuli Publishing House.

The fourth voting meeting in the book club is over.

Every serial slot in the journal "Liu Li" is extremely important, not to mention that Xia Yan's new novel "Sword Art Online" is planning to skip the serial conference competition, and the editorial department in the dormitory decides this serial slot.

In this case, the internal review process of the bookstore is naturally stricter.

But with Xia Yan's current reputation in the industry.

The Emperor Star Award was the sixth overall pick last year, and Beizhou Comic Club is currently the most popular cartoonist. The dual identities are superimposed.

Even though there are many light novelists in the book club, even "Liu Li Book Club", who are dissatisfied with Xia Yan's airborne snatching of the serial number, they can only endure it.

Xia Yan himself is so popular in the industry, and the plots of the first few chapters of the Sword Art Online novel he produced are so attractive, this result can only be said that the opponents can't fault it.

On this day, Bai Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning of the decision of the meeting, he immediately called Xia Yan to inform him of the matter.

"Passed?"

Hearing the news on the phone, Xia Yan showed a smile on his face.

"Well, time is coming soon. Sword Art Online Chapter 1 will be published in the "Liu Li" novel periodical in mid-October."

"So fast?" Xia Yan was stunned.

"Of course." Bai Xuan said in a deep voice.

"However, Xia Yan, many editors and co-novelists in the book club have been waiting for this opportunity for serialization for several months. However, "Sword Art Online" has reserved a serialization seat in this way. In fact, many people are also hostile to you. gone."

Xia Yan blinked when he heard this.

"Competition exists no matter what industry you are in. From your debut to the present, you have never failed. The word-of-mouth and popularity of your works are getting better and better. I still remember what you said at the beginning, you will create a work that will not lose the initials D's popular novel comes out. I hope you can achieve your original goal, but don't let you, don't let us... be ridiculed by those who are jealous."

Why did the meeting not decide the serialization qualification of "Sword Art Online" until the fourth time.

The reason is that many people in the book club have opinions, and there are great contradictions.

Xia Yan is indeed very powerful, but what does it matter to others?After finally waiting for a serial seat of "Liu Li" to become vacant, it was taken away by Xia Yantian.

Bai Xuan and those people who were not convinced and secretly plotted to cause trouble also fought secretly within the book club for a few days. If the popularity of Sword Art Online is not good after the serialization, then these people inside the book club will have to jump to the sky.

Of course, these things are the duty of her manager, and she just hinted at Xia Yan that she should cheer up and be more serious about creation when she said this.

"I understand. To the moon movie promotion, I will end as soon as possible, and then I will devote myself to the novel creation of Sword Art Online". "Xia Yan responded.

On the other end of the phone, Bai Xuan showed a smile on her face.

"It's best if you think like this. Finally, I wish your film adaptation "To the Moon" a big hit."
