A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 202 Preheating
In early October, it slipped by.

At this time, Xia Yan's other work, "Sword Art Online" novel, will be officially serialized in the first issue of "Liu Li" novel journal in a few days.

Things in the Two-dimensional industry will not affect the movie industry too much. Although going to the moon is still popular in the movie industry, but in the light novel industry
Recently, a big event that fans of novels are excited about is coming.

The latest issue of the "Liu Li" journal issued a blockbuster notice.

A large piece of space was spent directly on the cover of the journal, and a piece of news was announced.

[Longguo popular light novelist, author of "Parasite Beast", popular animation film "To the Moon", author of popular comic "Initial D" "Yuanqing" new work. October [-]th "Sword Art Online" hits hard . 】

The serialization of a certain work is previewed in advance on the cover of a periodical such as "Liu Li".

It was unanimously recognized by the three major light novel publishing houses in Longguo, and only the top novelists in the light novel world in Longguo could enjoy the treatment.

Xia Yan's "Sword Art Online" can get this kind of publicity treatment, which shows that the "Liu Li" book club attaches great importance to him at this moment.

When Xia Yan serialized comics in the "Beizhou" comic club, it was because of his achievements in the light novel world and the operation of the deputy editor-in-chief Hu Yi.So it broke the rules and directly obtained the serialization qualification in the "Beizhou" comic periodical.

And Xia Yan's new novels can obtain this kind of publicity resources on "Liu Li", because of the popularity of the initial D, to the moon and other works, the result of Xia Yan's commercial value has increased significantly.

This is the result of the mutual influence of several classifications in the Two-dimensional industry.

The groups of novels, comics, and animation works have a high degree of overlap. Popular cartoonists are also hugely popular in the fields of novels and animations, and vice versa.Companies in the industry don't ignore these.

And the serialized preview of Sword Art Online works, the same.
It has had an impact on the Longguo light novel group, even comics, animation, and some movie audiences who went to the moon to watch Xia Yan.

"Damn... this news, it's too sudden. Teacher Yuanqing is so fierce?"

"It's only been half a year since the end of Parasite, and he has a new novel? The donkeys in this production team are not as hardworking as him!"

"Compared to other popular light novel writers in Longguo, they generally rest for a year or two before publishing a new work after the end of a work. Teacher Yuanqing is really a model worker."

"Not only that? He is still serializing the "Initial D" comics and writing light novels at the same time? This person is too good... Where did he get so much inspiration?"

"A few days ago, he was live broadcasting on the live page of "Sugar Man" film and television to help promote the film. Now there is a new light novel to be serialized?"

"Damn it, looking at it like this, the old thief "Soldier of Love" is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of Teacher Yuan Qing. Just because of his professionalism, the Warrior of Love was crushed by Teacher Yuan Qing."

"It turns out that the theatrical animation of Magical Girl Madoka has been released for a month, and the lazy old thief has not announced the production news of the second part of the theatrical animation. I am so mad."

"I hope Mr. Yuanqing's new novel will explode in popularity and reach the same level as "Magic Girl Madoka". Give those Moyuan fans a good slap in the face. They look down on Mr. Yuanqing too much, and always say that Mr. Yuanqing is not as good as Old thief."

"Actually, I think the popularity of the initial D is already very high. Now that the serialization of the plot has finished the death tape race, judging from the plot of these few episodes, the Uice female driver Zeng Zhi (Mako Sato) who has an affair with Iketani and Tu Hai must have a battle, and this work will now have a real love story. I feel that this chapter is more attractive than the last one."

"But it's still a bit worse than Magical Girl Madoka!"

"No way, Magical Girl Madoka is too exaggerated mainly in the animation community. Now the average sales volume of tv animation BD volume has exceeded one million, and the average sales volume of the theater version "Rebellious Story" volume has exceeded 280 million. The total sales volume of BD volume has reached 100 [-] million."

"However, with the addition of Mr. Yuanqing's several works, and the popularity of the movie Go to the Moon is so high now, the total number of fans may not be lower than that of "The Warrior of Love, Old Thief, right?" "

"It's possible if the Sword Art Online novel becomes a big hit."

"By the way, why do you all agree that Mr. Yuan Qing's new novel is very popular? You never considered this light novel called "Sword Art Online". Is the quality not good?"

"How to say?"

"Do you really think that the author of comics at the level of Initial D can maintain the quality in such a state of half-hearted creation? I am worried that Mr. Genqing serialized two works at the same time, and the quality of Sword Art Online novels may not be good. Forget it. Even the manga quality of the initial D has dropped!"

"Ah this."

"It's not impossible!"

"Don't, I'm panicking when I say that."

"It's okay for Sword Art Online to hit the street, just don't mess up the initial D plot because of distraction."

"What does it mean that Sword Art Online can hit the street without any problem? Why can't Sword Art Online and Initial D become popular in the field of comics and light novels together?"

"Of course this is the best situation, but I'm always a little worried."

"But the name of this work Sword Art Online. It's a bit strange! Mr. Genqing's past works are all about going to the moon, unknown flower names, parasitic beasts and other inexplicable names. And the content of the story is also the same as the title of the work, inexplicable It’s good-looking and innovative. Sword Art Online? It can’t be toilet paper literature like the devil’s hero from another world, right?”

"Don't make it uncomfortable for you to talk about gang fights like that. If Mr. Yuanqing also writes the novel about the devil king in another world, it will really destroy your reputation. No matter how you write such novels, there will be no novelty, it is all routine."

The news that Xia Yan's new novel "Sword Art Online" will be serialized on October [-] spread quickly in the Two-dimensional industry.

Even in the world of Longguo light novels and comics, there are many super popular works that have been serialized for several years.

But in the end... Those works are not fresh for fans because the serialization time is too long.

Just like most animation fans in the parallel world, when discussing the topic of animation works, they will exclude Dead Sea of ​​Fire by default.

There is nothing to discuss about these old works.

In the Longguo Two-dimensional industry, the works of new creators like Xia Yan are actually the most discussed in the forum.

And it just so happened that the popularity of the Initial D comics and To the Moon happened to be in theaters, which also made Xia Yan's new work hot on the day after the "Liu Li" book club released the serial announcement of the work.

It directly ranked second on the hot search list after combining the three sections of Jiuxiao Forum.

On this hot search list, the most searched entry of the day was a popular cartoonist who was detained for domestic violence.

The second most searched entry is that the original novel "Sword Art Online" will be serialized in a week.

The third hot search term is the detailed analysis of the animation "The Story of Rebellion", and the analysis post of the foreshadowing of the old thief that you didn't understand.

The ninth most searched word is "To the Moon" animated film once again won the single-day box office champion.

The No.13 hot search term is "Initial D", the heroine Natsuki feels very strangely shaped!
It can be said that Xia Yan's works have considerable influence in the mainstream Two-dimensional groups of various genres in Longguo in various senses.

The difference is just that.
Not many people in Longguo now know that the real body of the "Soldier of Love" is Xia Yan.

Liuli Book Club is very satisfied with the popularity of the teaser and publicity of the work "Sword Art Online".

Aside from the number one most searched news on Domestic Violence, the popularity of Sword Art Online's trailer has completely exceeded Liuli Book Club's expectations.

This also caused many high-level executives in the book club to re-evaluate Xia Yan's commercial value.
However, Xia Yan has been busy with another matter in the past few days.

The Sword Art Online novel will be serialized soon, and Xia Yan is here to get rid of Mo Ran to help him draw the promotional posters of the two characters "Asuna" and the protagonist "Li Tongren" in this novel.

Although you can ask the on-duty illustrators in Liuli Book Club to help with the design, but Xia Yan has never worked with those people, and those people are not as good at understanding Xia Yan's painting requirements as Mo Ran, and
The painters of those people are not as strong as Mo Ran.

"Do you think it's okay?"

Mo Ran picked up a sketch of Asuna's character design and showed it to Xia Yan.

"Well, I feel... Her eyes are too weak. For the character Asuna, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The eyes need to be stronger."

"Understood..." Mo Ran immediately began to revise upon hearing this.

"But Xia Yan."

"Ok?"

"It's what you gave me before, the storyboard of the new issue of Initial D comics. Are you really going to set up the plot like this? Let Zeng Zhi and Chi Gu miss it like this?"

In the initial D, the Battle of the Ice Mountain, it can be said that Tu Hai, the Qiu Mingshan racing god, showed his racing skills outside of Qiu Mingshan in front of fans for the first time in the whole work.

But in fact, the best plot shaping of this chapter is not in the plot of drag racing.

It's about the love affair between the supporting role Chi Gu and the female driver Zeng Zhi
The figure of the girl waiting at the agreed place after the game, the boy who missed the helplessness of liking girls because of boredom and self-esteem.

Many people don't like this kind of sad parting and missed plot arrangement, but in fact, this is the essence of the initial D manga.

Although it tells the audience that racers don't need women from the beginning to the end, in fact, the emotional line of its works has always emphasized the need to be honest about feelings, otherwise, it will only be like Ikeda, and eventually lose the person he cherishes.

But as far as Mo Ran's senses are concerned, she is actually a little worried that Xia Yan will be criticized by fans after the plot is serialized.

Life is already depressing enough, Xia Yan still wants to draw such a realistic plot in the comics.

"Don't worry..." Xia Yan said after hearing what Mo Ran said.

"Where is this going!"

ha?
Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan with a puzzled expression.

Naturally, she didn't understand what Xia Yan meant.

Among other things, Xia Yan's follow-up works, I will wait for you in seven years, there are many plots that make readers more heartbroken than this cyberpunk edge walker.

Even Sword Art Online, which is about to be serialized, has the character of Tauren Xu Township, which disgusts readers.

If they had to be changed, then all these works would become completely different.

Xia Yan follows a principle when adapting works from other worlds, that is, there is no need to never change the main line.

What is unnecessary?

For example, there is a point in the work of Initial D that Xia Yan felt necessary to change.

In the original manga of Initial D, after Tu Hai found out that his girlfriend Xia Shu was having a compensated relationship with Mercedes-Benz, he forgave her and continued to date her.

This... is true and shatters Xia Yan's three views.

Xia Yan is sure that this kind of plot will definitely not be acceptable to the audience of Longguo.

So this must be changed.

However, some tears in the early stage of this work made the audience just stay in regret, and feel that the regretful love story is fine.

Mo Ran just mentioned it appropriately, since Xia Yan made up her mind, she didn't say much, and concentrated on helping Xia Yan design the character image of Sword Art Online.

Soon. A few days passed by.

October [-]th, the first serialization day of Sword Art Online, is here.
