A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 257 Repercussions and Summer Vacation

After the ratings of the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker came out, basically the results of the first episodes of the four animations that received the most attention this quarter were also released.

Among the four animations, two were broadcast on TV1 of the Imperial Capital, and two were broadcast on TV1 of the Modu. It can be said that there is no difference in the broadcasting platform.

The popularity and audience traffic of the two TV stations are at the same level, and the broadcast time of the four works is also on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the prime time period from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening. From this point of view, the four works The results reflected in the ratings of the first broadcast of the show can also explain a lot of problems.

First of all, there are two works of Red Dragon and Another World Revolutionary. Because of the popularity of the original works, the first broadcast ratings of the two works occupy the second and first place in this quarter respectively.

The two works of Cyberpunk Edge Walker and Speed ​​Landing are purely original animations, and the ratings of the first broadcast are slightly lower, ranking third and fourth respectively.

And these four animations are basically the only four animations whose premiere ratings exceeded 3% in the first week of July. Compared with these four animations, all other new animations have a huge gap, and they can’t even reach 3% ratings. .

However, the third-ranked ratings of the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker finally allowed those Xia Yan black fans who have been in love for a long time to be arrogant.

On the second day after the first broadcast, he began to highlight his presence on various forums on the Internet.

"I thought how powerful it was, that's all, the third."

"Before Cyberpunk Edgewalker started broadcasting, didn't Xia Yan's fans crazily clamored that this animation would be the hegemony of the autumn file? The third can also be called hegemony."

"These Xia Yan fans are too confident in him, always thinking that he has good grades in magic circles, and that all his works can easily crush all opponents in the same period."

"There were no major animations aired in the last quarter, so he continued to be the champion of the quarterly animation ratings for seven years. This season, the two popular adaptations of Chilong and Reformer of Another World competed on the same stage. Xia Yan revealed Prototype, right?"

"I said, you guys are so funny. The first episode is about winning or losing, right? Magical Girl Madoka's ratings for the first episode were only in the early 1% range. The most phenomenal animation of the decade?"

"The original animation and the animation adapted from the novels and comics with an average sales volume of more than 2000 million volumes are more popular in the first episode? You black people are also a little bit black, and you will come again after three episodes, laughing at you." "

"The most important thing is, in fact, the ratings of these two novels and manga adaptations are not much higher than the ratings of the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, just one thousand points higher."

"Magical Girl Madoka told the entire Dragon Kingdom animation community to watch the first three episodes of animation, and you all made up your mind after watching one episode? Anyway, whether it's the red dragon or the reformer in another world, the plots of the first three episodes are everyone's favorite. I basically know what it is like? I have read the novel and know that there will be no big hits, but you know what plot he will write in Mr. Xia Yan’s animation? It’s getting dark here now, and I’m afraid it’s time to Get punched in the face."

"It is only a matter of time before the original novels and comics of these two works are surpassed by Teacher Xia Yan's Sword Art Online and Initial D. As for the ratings of the adapted animation, it feels like it is also a matter of time before they are surpassed."

"I like to watch these scenes where Heizi yells wildly in the early stage, speaks hard in the middle stage, and pretends to be dead in the later stage."

"But I'm very surprised. Mr. Xia Yan is a nice person and has no scandals. Why do so many people want to black him?"

"As long as a person is famous, he will be hacked. Don't say that Mr. Xia Yan is just a creator working hard in the two-dimensional industry. If you look at history, those national heroes who have lived through the ages and one emperor have a lot of people hacked. People are afraid of being famous. This is the reason why pigs are afraid of being strong. The more famous Mr. Xia Yan is, the more people will hate him."

"However, after watching the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, how do you feel?"

"It feels pretty good, but the plot hasn't fully unfolded yet, let's see how it works later."

The employees of Xiatang Animation Production Company, many of them would involuntarily search the Internet for animation reviews about Edge Walker when they were working. After seeing that this is basically the general public opinion, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

What they are more worried about is that the overly heavy plot and bloody painting style in the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker will make these viewers who have watched too many cute shows in different worlds hate it, but in fact, everyone seems to not think these elements are relevant at all. What's strange, or, if the cyberworld view has a cute style of painting, the plot of the Virgin Mary will be sprayed, and it is a gimmick.

Xia Yan came to his own Xiatang animation production company after taking a group of author's portrait photos from Liuli Publishing's headquarters early in the morning.

He first convened a group of high-level people from the company for a temporary meeting, arranged for the operation of various things in the company for the next week or so, and temporarily passed the operation department's request to give Cyberpunk Edgewalker the best 1000 two million publicity funds Resolution, said last.

"In the next week, the three directors of our company have collective affairs and will not appear in the company, so all the affairs of the entire company will be taken care of by the leaders of your departments for the time being." Xia Yan looked at the senior management of the company.

Xia Yan's company has now expanded to more than 100 employees, and the company's headquarters has also moved from an office building in the suburbs of Shanghai to an office building in the center of the business district.

The production strength of equipment and personnel has also made up a big wave. Otherwise, how could the cyberpunk edge walker not see a black picture?
Heizi is just bad, and he is not stupid. He knows that the production quality of cyberpunk is definitely the top level in the animation industry.

The executives of several departments of the company were a little stunned. After all, they have been in the company for more than a year, but they have never seen Xia Yan have anything to do and let the company's affairs go for a week. Telecommuting is handled.

But since Xia Yan said so, it's not easy for them to ask.

After finishing the company affairs, Xia Yan drove home.

At his home, Tang Yin, Song Lingyun, and Mo Ran were discussing with great interest the topic of traveling abroad for the next week.

"It's finally vacation time. I'm exhausted."

Mo Ran was wearing a black dress, with long hair hanging down her waist, and a smile on her fair face.

"I have been drawing comics for a year in a row, and I haven't taken a break in one issue. It's harder than the office workers who go to work at 996."

"That's true. You have to complete your studies in school and draw comics and write novels. Office workers are definitely not as tired as you."

Tang Yin, who had her hair up, a white shirt on her upper body, a short white skirt and long black silk legs, also smiled.

"It's okay, the school work is very simple, I spend three times more time thinking about the plot of the novel than I spend studying."

Tang Yin was wearing a red sweater, a peaked cap, and black shorts on her lower body. She looked sporty and light.

"But I've always been curious about Xia Yan. He writes novels, produces animations, and draws comics at the same time. He also has to cooperate with the promotion work of the novel book club and the comics club. Where did he find the time to conceive the plot of the work?" Song Lingyun sighed.

Before entering university two years ago, she set a goal to completely crush Xia Yan before graduating from university, and make her novels famous all over Longguo.

But two years have passed, and it cannot be said that her grades are considered poor.

The popularity of the new novel Jue Jie is now stable in the top three of Liuli journals.

Two volumes of the single book of the novel have been released, and the average sales volume of each volume has exceeded 800 million copies. In a month or two, it is a high probability event that it will break the [-] million mark.

But compared with the original goal, why do you feel that the gap with Xia Yan is widening?
Not to mention Xia Yan's current status in the animation industry, Sword Art Online and Initial D volume have both sold more than 2000 million copies. It is conservatively estimated that the combined income of the two works in one year will be in the More than [-] million.
Although Song Lingyun is now known as the number one female writer under the age of 30 in the Longguo light novel world.

But the reason why he deliberately labeled "female writer" instead of "writer" is Xia Yan. The author of light novels under the age of 30 in Longguo, Xia Yan is the undisputed number one. With his outstanding achievements, Song Lingyun basically Also enough to reach the second place.

However, her second place, compared with Xia Yan, has a huge gap.

"He said before that he conceived the plot by dreaming at night." Tang Yin paused and said with a smile.

"Forget it, don't discuss him anymore. The more you discuss, the angrier you get. Compared with him, we always feel that we are useless."

"Then let's talk about Xia Yan's daily life. Sister Tang Yin seems to be very close to Xia Yan recently!" Mo Ran took out a popsicle from the refrigerator and said while eating it.

"The two of you often go home together recently, and it's always between eight and nine o'clock in the evening."

Song Lingyun's fingers froze when she heard the words, and then she looked at Tang Yin suspiciously. She was so absorbed in writing novels every night that she didn't pay attention to these things.

Tang Yin's expression froze, and then a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Isn't Cyberpunk Edgewalker about to start broadcasting? We have to deal with this aspect together with him! Signing contracts with BD producers, licensing overseas copyrights, customizing peripheral products, especially Xia Yan's Rebecca Sauce coasters, he always has weird requests for weird things."

Mo Ran and Song Lingyun also put away their doubts and curiosity after hearing the words.

Reasonable.

However, Mo Ran and Song Lingyun didn't know that Xia Yan was in the stage of pursuing Tang Yin. After getting off work at six o'clock in the evening, she would always invite Tang Yin to eat at a restaurant near the company, or go shopping in the commercial street.

Or visit some night scenic spots in Shanghai.

Although the two of them did not break through the window and formally communicated, their relationship was already very ambiguous.

But Tang Yin was embarrassed, so these things were hidden from Mo Ran and Song Lingyun. As for Xia Yan, he would not announce these things until he had a formal relationship with others, so Song Lingyun didn't know what it was.

At this time, Xia Yan came back.

"Okay. Let's go."

Wearing shorts, sneakers, and a light blue coat, Xia Yan smiled as he watched the three of them chatting in the living room.

"It's the first official tour since college."

Luggage and so on have already been prepared, just pick it up and go.

I definitely can't drive my sports car. The two-person sports car is only suitable for driving in the city, and it is not suitable for traveling on high speed, let alone traveling across provinces.

There are four people in the family. Xia Yan spent more than 200 million to buy an off-road vehicle as early as a few months ago. After carrying the luggage of the four people into the trunk, the four of them arrived at the airport half an hour later.
Self-driving travel is definitely not possible, Xia Yan doesn’t have so much time, the overseas travel event is too short, considering fans’ grievances, he only suspends the publication for one issue, and he can go out for ten days at most.
So I chose a tourist island overseas in Longguo.

I took a three-hour flight to a city near the destination, and then took a boat to the destination island
Along the way, the blue water is rippling, the sea breeze is salty, and seabirds are circling overhead.

"Ah, this is life!" Xia Yan stood on the bow of the ship with excitement on his face.

Although he himself likes being a novelist and cartoonist, but for four years, from the second year of high school to the second year of high school, he spent every day creating, and he was really tired.

"Look. There are fish." Mo Ran pointed to the school of fish jumping up on the water in the distance, also looking excited.

"Isn't it normal that there are fish in the sea?" Song Lingyun said so, but his eyes also blinked reluctantly at the sea level.

"That fish is so beautiful. What kind of fish is it, Song Lingyun?"

"How do I know? I haven't learned anything about it." Song Lingyun gave Mo Ran a blank look.

"Is there anything you don't know?" Mo Ran took out her phone and asked while taking pictures.

"It's really strange."

Song Lingyun's forehead darkened, and seeing Mo Ran's cute expression, she wanted to speak a poisonous tongue.

Xia Yan, on the other hand, saw Song Lingyun and Mo Ran paying attention to the fish on the sea level, and quietly walked to Tang Yin who was watching seabirds on the other side of Class A.

"Turn your head closer." Xia Yan said softly.

"What?"

Xia Yan held up the high-definition camera he had prepared long ago.

"Take a photo as a souvenir! Speaking of which, this is the first time for the two of us to go on a trip." Xia Yan leaned over while talking.

"Hey, don't get so close, Mo Ran and Song Lingyun will misunderstand after seeing it later." Tang Yin said hastily.

Xia Yan's shoulders and Tang Yin's were leaning together, and then his head moved slightly closer together, taking a photo of the two of them.

In the photo, Xia Yan was smiling, while Tang Yin was blushing a little, but she didn't avoid it.

"What is the misunderstanding? Misunderstood that the two of us are dating?" Xia Yan said.

"Is that a misunderstanding? It's just a fact that will happen in the not-too-distant future."

"You" Tang Yin was speechless.

But Xia Yan didn't go too far, anyway, he also knew that Tang Yin didn't resist him. In the matter of dating, it doesn't mean that if someone has a crush on you, he will definitely agree to it immediately, there must be a process of getting along.

Even after taking a picture, there was not much intimacy.

Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xia Yan taking a few steps away, ready to try sea fishing with a fishing rod.

She really didn't hate Xia Yan, but Song Lingyun and Mo Ran were so close, she was really embarrassed to reveal it.

On the deck of this small boat, the exaggerated expressions of three extremely beautiful girls and a boy facing the sea wind made the captain who was controlling the direction of the boat smile.

This is the person in the mainland who has never seen the sea. Everything is fresh. If you play here for a few more days and eat seafood for a few more days, you may feel sick.

Traveling, anyway, your experience depends entirely on how much money you are willing to spend. Xia Yan himself does not have high material pursuits, and earning one billion a year basically makes him basically not have much concept of money now.

Expensive ones are not necessarily good, but good ones are definitely not cheap, so Xia Yan is the most expensive no matter whether it is a holiday villa or a tour guide service.

After arriving at the destination in the afternoon, I practiced a little bit, and after eating a local special meal in the evening, I followed the tour guide I invited to take a boat to play in this archipelago area the next day.

Sea fishing, diving, and even some more dangerous items such as helicopter parachuting can be arranged, and Xia Yan is also a feast for the eyes. After all, the beach swimsuit scene of Tang Yin, Song Lingyun and Mo Ran is really eye-catching beyond his imagination.

The three girls are better than the other, even Xia Yan, who is obsessed with work, is a little dumbfounded.

After two days of coming here, Xia Yan, Song Lingyun, Tang Yin, and Mo Ran completely forgot the anguish of tens of millions of fans in Long Kingdom beyond the island.

Sword Art Online is closed this week.

Initial D is off this week.

After these two news were announced by Liuli Book Club and Beizhou Comics Club on the same day
More than half of the people in the entire Two-dimensional industry are directly distressed.

"What's the matter, the two works are suspended together?"

"Is Teacher Xia Yan sick?"

"Sick? I have a friend from Liuli Journal's internal staff telling me that Teacher Xia Yan is on summer vacation, and the college students are going on a trip. Shit."

"Just for this reason to suspend the publication?"

"I'm going, I thought something happened? The two works are suspended together, that's it?"

"What the hell, the last chapter of Sword Art Online was interrupted by the conversation between Xu Xiang and Asuna. This break, wouldn't this episode keep my appetite for two weeks?"

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about the initial D, the protagonist ae86 has just installed a racing engine, and now he is preparing to debug the machine. As soon as the morning scene takes revenge, it will be even more uncomfortable for two weeks!"

"Traveling is a piece of yarn, Mr. Xia Yan, he is simply not pious at all. At his age, can he afford to publish it?"

Among the fans, there is great resentment towards Xia Yan's trip.

However, the suspension of Sword Art Online and Initial D will not affect the broadcast of Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

Sunday, July [-]
The broadcast day of the second episode of Cyberpunk is also coming smoothly.
