A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

After the serialization of Sword Art Online Chapter 2, Xia Yan's fans basically know the main direction of this work.

There is a high probability that the protagonist will show readers the game "Sword Art Online (sao)" in the later part of the novel, and at the same time find a way to crack the boss of the level.

To be honest, no one has written this type of novel in Long Country.

Although I was just watching the protagonist's strategy game, but after adding the setting that the real person will die if the game dies once, the whole novel will look very tense, not like everyone usually playing games. dead attitude. .

"So the protagonist will pass the game with his life?"

"It should be like this, this can reflect the strength of the protagonist Gao Wan."

"However, the portrayal of Asuna in Chapter 2 is really good. She has courage, does things without sloppiness, and is quite gentle. The most important thing is that she does not cheat when playing games."

"Woooo... what kind of fairy girl is this. She is beautiful, has a good temper, and does not cheat when playing games. It is very good if the three conditions are equal, and she has all three."

"Teacher Yuan Qing understands our Two-dimensional."

"However, I feel that the style of this work is a bit different from Mr. Yuanqing's previous works. The previous works of Mr. Yuanqing were all slow-heated and foreshadowing types. Even for parasitic beasts, the main theme of the story is relatively grand and tall, and it is about environmental protection. The direction depends. But Sword Art Online is really a pure fantasy light novel style."

"That can't be helped! Going to the moon is so beautiful, and the average sales volume of the single volume is only 800 million copies. The average sales volume of the parasitic beast is only 700 million copies. "This kind of pure harem light novel has an average sales volume of 700 million volumes. It can only be said that novels with depth do not meet the tastes of mainstream readers after all. If the works want to have good sales figures, they still have to make certain sacrifices. "

"That's right, and Mr. Yuan Qing's writing of this type of light novel is pretty good. At least it's Chapter 2 now, and I haven't seen any stupid characters. The protagonists and supporting characters are all IQ online without a halo of lower intelligence. Especially the heroine Yasi Na, very attractive."

"Mr. Mo Ran must be a good painter. The illustrations she drew for Asuna really fit the character's image and look very substituting."

"Reminder, reminder, reminder."

"Actually, I think it's quite good. A novel like Sword Art Online that is not mentally handicapped, has an online plot, and is very comfortable to read. On the surface, it looks like nothing. In fact, if you read other light novels, you will know how rare it is. "

"I hope this novel will keep its current rhythm, and don't come up with any weird plots later. For example, the death of an important supporting role or the death of a heroine forcefully engages in sensationalism."

"You gamers think this kind of novels are good, but it's embarrassing for someone like me who doesn't like to play games. While reading novels, I have to read novel guides online to know the game terms in it."

"Haha, don't care about these details. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't need to understand them. On the surface, this novel is strongly related to the content of the game, but in fact it is still about people. But it is about the lives of a group of players in a desperate situation Baitai. In fact, the game part does not include too many professional terms in it. It is estimated that Teacher Yuanqing has also considered the amount of knowledge of you novice game readers, and simplified it in this regard.”

"Haha, everyone has read a lot of light novels by Mr. Yuanqing, are you not used to reading light novels in the pure "easy adventure" mode?"

The online reviews of Sword Art Online Chapter 2 are better than those after Chapter 1 was serialized.

As many Xia Yan readers and fans have said, if the plot of Sword Art Online is truly shocking, it is not as good as the plot of Unheard Huaming and the later stage of going to the moon.

But it is good that the work style is very popular
That's why after it was serialized, with the comprehensive support of Xia Yan's accumulated fan popularity and the quality of his own works, only Chapter 1 was released, and he was able to get the third place in "Liu Li".

The next day, the voting list for Sword Art Online Chapter 2 was released.

The number one ranking is still Crimson Abyss, with readers' votes: 2679451 votes.

Ranked second is the Labyrinth of Other Worlds. The series of this work has reached its climax this week, and several villains with bad reviews have died.

Sword Art Online ranked third with 1691085 votes.

It can be said that if the plot of Alien Labyrinth hadn't exploded this week, if it still had the same number of votes as last week, it would have given up the second place to Sword Art Online.

But in fact, this popularity increase trend has been exaggerated.

Xia Yan looked at the survey data of Sword Art Online's works in his hand. Of course, the data sent to him by Bai Xuan also included market data of competing works in other periodicals.

Crimson Abyss, which has been serialized for four and a half years, has published a total of 29 volumes of light novels, with an average sales volume of 800 million volumes. The author, Luo Yun, is 37 years old.
Labyrinth of Other Worlds, serialized for more than three years, published 400 volumes of light novels, with an average sales volume of 29 million volumes, the author Xu Qing, [-] years old.
After a long time, Xia Yan let out a long breath.

Although he is well-known in the two-dimensional industry, he doesn't like to engage in useless social networking, and he basically has no contact with his peers. He really doesn't know the details of these competitors.

But Crimson Abyss and the Labyrinth of Other Worlds, he liked it very much when he was still in the freshman year of high school, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, he would directly compete with these works for the first position in the "Liu Li" journal.

Xia Yan put down the document in his hand, and his mind fell into thinking.

The results of the first two episodes of the Sword Art Online serialization were still above his expectations.

After all, this work really has to wait for the popularity to start to exert its strength, and it has to wait for the heroine Asuna to play more roles, and she can establish the status of the big wife among the fan group.

As far as the plots of the first two episodes are concerned, it can only be said to be innovative, but there is definitely no way to gain such popularity in the industry.

"So keeping a pseudonym is very valuable in Dragon Kingdom." Xia Yan said with a smile to himself.

Fans of Longguo Two-dimensional, most of them still remember their pseudonyms.

Especially Xia Yan, a young potential novelist who has never been on the street since his debut.

In the morning, I coded a few thousand words of chapters of Sword Art Online's novel at home, and at noon, I came to the house where Mo Ran lived, and gave Mo Ran the draft of the storyboard of the initial D.
In the afternoon, Xia Yan first went to a well-known car shop in Shanghai to pick up the car he had been thinking about since he was in college.

Under the envious eyes of the saleswoman, Xia Yan didn't even bother to get the glass of water after picking up the car, and left with dolls and other items.

It's now October, and the first wave of revenue from Magical Girl Madoka's work has arrived.

The BD volume of the animated theatrical version sold an average of 310 million copies, and the total sales volume was 620 million.

The average sales volume of the five BD volumes of the TV version is 130 million copies, and the total sales volume is 650 million copies.

Based on the average selling price of 71, the BD sales share will be 5000 million Longguo coins.

And this work has also obtained a total of 20 million broadcast copyright benefits in more than 3000 overseas countries.

With regard to these two incomes, it is 8000 million.

Moreover, Magic Circle's character costumes, soul crystals, figures, and other peripherals are now selling well in Longguo and overseas markets. Some game companies in Longguo are also negotiating cooperation with Xia Yan's Xia Tang Animation Production Company for character image licensing.

The income of these parts is conservatively estimated to be another [-] to [-] million, plus animation works, although after the first wave of popularity passes, the income will not be recorded as explosively as it was at the beginning, but at least in the next few years, Magical Girl Xiaoyuan's subsequent passive income will remain in the tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions..
It can be said that Xia Yan can basically earn more than ten digits of Dragon Country Coin conservatively only in the work of Magical Girl Madoka. As for the upper limit of this work's income, it depends on Xia Yan's follow-up IP of this work. develop.

For example, if you want to lose money, you can find a game company at the speed of light to develop magical girl mobile games, online games, recharge with krypton gold, and then make animations for the season of Magical Girl Madoka Gaiden to maintain the popularity of the game.
Of course, bad money is earned by doing so, but the word-of-mouth of "Love Warrior" will encounter a serious crisis of trust.

So although someone inside the company suggested that Xia Yan develop in this direction, after all, if you want to maximize the commercial value of a phenomenon-level work like Magic Circle, you can't consider reputation, but Xia Yan definitely ignored these plans.
After more than [-] million funds arrived in the account, Xia Yan can be regarded as a wave of invisible billionaires who have been promoted to the Dragon Kingdom.

I didn't feel bad at all when I paid the final payment for the red sports car that was more than 300 million yuan.

After driving the car, he left the car shop first, and then Xia Yan drove directly to a well-known real estate agency in Shanghai.

"Hello, Mr. Xia."

The intermediary who helped Xia Yan deal with the villa purchased by Xia Yan during this month was also a young and beautiful woman.

Xia Yan's requirements for material life are not too high, and he is not interested in going to Jiuchi Roulin after making money, but he buys a sports car because he thinks it is cool, and he is also creating comics with the initial D , Searching for car-related knowledge on the Internet all day to assist in the drawing of comic storyboards, my heart is really itchy.

And buy a house.
It is because I no longer want to be visited as a giant panda in the community where I live.

Now when Xia Yan returns to the community or leaves the community, he can always meet dozens of squatting fans who come to him to sign. If this continues, the information that Xia Yan lives in this community will spread more widely. It's as simple as dozens of fans staying at the site.

If you encounter fans of extreme works, anything may happen.

And this situation was not only encountered by Xia Yan, but also happened to Mo Ran and Song Lingyun more or less.

Xia Yan followed the female intermediary and drove to the villa he bought for the third time.
"Mr. Xia, this car of yours is of extraordinary taste!"

Although she is a real estate agent, she also knows cars very well. She can tell the value of the car by looking at the car logo. Sitting in the passenger seat of Xia Yan's car is also a lot of flattery.

"Well, it's okay." Although he knew that the other party was flattering, Xia Yan still understood.

If others praise him for being handsome, then Xia Yan may not be very happy, but if they praise him for the handsome car he bought, then he can only say that he is really discerning.

Because he is handsome
"Mr. Xia is really young and promising. He can buy such a foundation in Shanghai at such a young age." The saleswoman looked enviously.

The purchase value of Longguo currency is about half of the US dollar in the parallel world. Of course, the labor price of Longguo is also high.

It’s just that it’s very cost-effective to spend the earned Longguo currency in developing countries, but in Longguo, it’s just like that anyway.

But even so, a villa worth 3000 million, with three floors, an outdoor garden covering an area of ​​890 square meters, luxurious decoration, [-] rooms, and a swimming pool is a big deal in Shanghai.

Without a net worth of hundreds of millions, who can afford this house?
Moreover, from viewing the house to paying the full payment and transferring the property, Xia Yan acted quickly. After cutting the price of 200 million, he asked a lawyer to check the contract, and the deal was completed at light speed.

For Xia Yan's order, she spent very little energy, but the agency fee share was worth her usual five-year salary.

Xia Yan drove the car to the rich man's villa area.

Basically, more than half of the villas in this community are lived by various bigwigs in the two-dimensional entertainment industry of Longguo.

For example, big directors, big stars, and the chairman of some film companies, and the remaining half are the chairman of some listed companies in Shanghai.

Because the villa area is full of industry leaders and well-known celebrities.

Therefore, the privacy and security of the community are very good. The whole community is stationed with retired soldiers all year round as security personnel, completely preventing the intrusion of paparazzi and extreme fans.

Of course, the property fee is also expensive.

But tens of millions of houses have been bought, and the property owners in this community don't care about the little property fee a year.

Checked again this villa that can be moved in with a bag, and the layout was correct when I checked the house before. After Xia Yan's lawyer arrived and confirmed that some documents and contract procedures were correct, finally, after the female intermediary took signed his own name on the document
Xia Yan is very fast in handling these matters.

After all, time is money, and Xia Yan hired someone to handle many trivial matters, so he was able to hand over the car and house in one day.

"Okay. I'll move tomorrow." Xia Yan stayed in his new home for a while, then got up and started calling the moving company to make an appointment.
