A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 282 Conversation and Information Release

Success is accidental.

No creator dares to set a goal of being the top ten or even the top [-] in history for his work before its birth.

The reason is simple, the Dragon Kingdom is a big country with a population of 15 billion.

Who can grasp the taste of 15 billion people?

Your masterpiece, my arsenic.

The initial D is so well-known in Longguo, but a group of people still say it is ugly.

Before a work has been tested by the market, no one dares to predict its performance.

But Xia Yan directly said that he thought so.

Before your work was serialized, you already thought that he would be the first manga in history to sell even volumes?
Tang Yin had a strange expression.

If it was someone else, she would have laughed, but Xia Yan's words.

Anyway, he has never boasted so far, and all his words that others think are bragging have come true.

"It's only been four years." Tang Yin said suddenly, looking at Xia Yan who was sitting in front of the computer.

"What four years?"

Xia Yan also stopped her small movements of grabbing Tang Yin's hand and playing with her nails. When the two were alone, Xia Yan kept making these movements, and Tang Yin got used to them.

"I mean, I can still recall the scene when you brought the novel Journey of Youth to me for the first time four years ago. Who would have known that four years later, you would have grown to this point." Tang Yin smiled , There is still a sense of pride in the eyes.

"From this point of view, I was actually quite successful in my novel editing career. I single-handedly dug out you, the most powerful genius in the two-dimensional history of the Dragon Kingdom."

"It's just a little cruel to Song Lingyun." Tang Yin paused after saying this.

"What's the relationship with Song Lingyun?" Xia Yan asked.

"Song Lingyun, she has always regarded you as her life goal since she was in the third year of high school. In fact, her talent is also extremely powerful. Now the fifth light novel work "Juejie" in the serialization has also sold more than a thousand volumes per volume. Without you, Xia Yan, Wan Bu would be the most dazzling light novel genius writer of this era. This work of Jue Jie has accumulated, honed my writing skills, and then created one or two popular novels to improve myself, maybe three, five, six Seven years later, she will grow into the top author and leader in the Dragon Kingdom light novel world."

"However, due to your existence, her exposure in the Dragon Kingdom novel industry is not high. Moreover, she is competing with you in the same era. Her idea of ​​becoming No. 1 in the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry should be very difficult to achieve. It's gone." Tang Yin sighed.

Xia Yan was indeed silent when he heard the words.

In fact, Song Lingyun's kind is the normal way for a genius novelist to rise.

Oda worked as a manga assistant for a few years before he painted Pirates. Kishimoto also rushed to the street before he painted Hokage. Takeru Obata became famous only after his disciples and grandchildren became famous for many years. It took several years for a marginal person to have the opportunity to hold an important position in a work, and it was not until more than ten years after graduating from university that he created his representative work of [-] Centimeters per Second.

The creators of these different worlds?Who is not a genius?

But they also have to accept the industry, fate, and the friction of the times in the early stage of their creative careers in order to grow up.

Of course, Song Lingyun is also a genius novelist in the plane of Longguo, but in the first two years of her creative career, she had to serialize a few works in a small bookstore in a small provincial capital city. The book club's second work "Extreme Boundary" is the real explosion.

The average sales volume of this work exceeds 500 million, but even so, it is basically impossible for her work to touch the 2000 million sales volume, let alone [-] million sales volume, even like Sword Art Online. To the point where the average sales volume of monk and puppet light novel industry history is among the top few.

There is a big difference.

If she maintains this momentum and grows for a few more years, she needs to be in good condition to have a chance to create a work with an average sales volume of nearly 2000 million.

Even if she is a top genius in the light novel world of Long Kingdom like her, Xia Yan's existence is indeed desperate for his contemporary competitors.

Even if you work hard, will you catch up with Xia Yan's current achievements in more than ten years?
Where will Xia Yan go at that time?No one can tell.

This is the difference between genius and cheating.

Genius is always in the human category.

"That's why I've always told her not to target me." Xia Yan also sighed.

Xia Yan's achievements in the past two years are too terrifying, and Song Lingyun is also under great pressure. Now, apart from attending classes and maintaining the first grade in her department, she does not participate in any school activities or clubs. Tens of millions of manuscript fees and royalties, but Tang Yin didn't even have time to invite her to go shopping for clothes, jewelry and bags. She said that she couldn't relax, and Xia Yan would widen the gap even more.

Taking classes, conceiving novels, writing novels, sleeping, this is all her life for this year.

"So you have to persuade her more. I feel that if she continues like this, she will have to follow in my footsteps. I only fell in love with you when I was 28 years old. If she indulges in novel creation, she will be overwhelmed by her victory or defeat." If you want to control it, I'm afraid you won't be interested in boys until you surpass you in this life." Tang Yin hesitated and said worriedly.

"." Xia Yan's head hurt when he heard this.

You say that this matter has something to do with him, but it's not right, it has nothing to do with him, then there is indeed his factor in it.

And it's not easy to persuade, a wrong word, misunderstood as the winner to comfort the loser, but it made Song Lingyun even more determined to win against Xia Yan.

"Do your best." Xia Yan said.

The two looked at each other, and both realized that this topic was a little heavy.

"It's better that Mo Ran is in a good mood!" Tang Yin sighed at this moment.

"Indeed, eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and there is no procrastination. After finishing drawing the weekly manga update, if there is no manga club activity, she will travel around the magic city all day, eat, drink and have fun. In one day, she can go to the manga in the morning. They all go shopping, fly to the beaches of coastal cities at noon to bask in the sun, fly to inland cities in the afternoon to celebrate national festivals at night, fly directly to Shanghai in the middle of the night to sleep in business class, and fly back to Shanghai on the way to sleep. I was stunned by her schedule after a weekend vacation. She is the happiest, now in her senior year, earning more money than she can spend in her lifetime, not looking for a job, and not under any pressure. "Xia Yan also said.

"People's troubles are all self-inflicted." Tang Yin said.

"Indeed." Xia Yan smiled upon hearing this.

After continuing to discuss with Tang Yin about the company's business for a while, in the afternoon.
Xia Yan called a meeting for all the employees of the company.

next day
Everyone in the two-dimensional industry in Longguo is still discussing related topics about Xia Yan's new manga "Hunter x Hunter" which will be serialized at the end of the month.

Xia Yan didn't give his fans too much time to digest here.

He has already decided that the rebellious Lelouch will start broadcasting in April next year, so the sooner the promotional activities, the better.

On Xiatang Animation's official website, a message was updated on his creator account.

The content of the message is simple.

Xiatang Animation Company has launched a project production plan for a new animation.

Title of the work "Lelouch who rebelled against Dai!"

The introduction of the work is also very simple, in the brief introduction of [-] words.

Holy Britannian Empire.
Island country
Eleven District.
Lelouch..
geass
Everyone knows these nouns individually, but when they are combined, they don't know anything.

However, although it has not been long since the project was confirmed to start, it can be said that the animation production is still in the early stage of preparation.

But the character design of Lelouch has already been made.

The high-definition picture drawn by the original animation master in the company took a week to draw, and it was announced along with the production preview information of this work.

Teenager in gorgeous court aristocratic costumes, with dark hair, purple eyes with melancholy, and a smiling expression.
Gorgeous, Evil, Beautiful
However, it is not annoying.

Xia Yan's male fans are okay, but they don't have much idea about such a character picture.

But female fans, seeing this style of painting hit their hearts directly.

After all, the original character design of Lelouch in the parallel world was designed by the well-known cartoonist group Clamp.

Speaking of clamp, many people in the parallel world may not know it well, but their most famous work, Cardcaptor Sakura, more people know about it.

The painting style itself is that kind of girly and beautiful style.

If there is no need for the works that Xia Yan carried in Longguo, he would try not to go blind.

Especially the painting style of a work, even if the painters under his hand may not create the exact same drawing, at least let them imitate the spirit and essence of the original work.

It's not that they don't believe in their creative ability. There is a high probability that Lelouch can live with a different style of painting, but Xia Yan doesn't need to gamble.

After all, the classic case has to be the graffiti-style comics of the original One-Punch Man one in the parallel world, and the enhanced version of the comics adapted by Murata. The plot is the same, but the style is different, and there is a hundred-fold difference in popularity.

Xia Yan is still very cautious about this thing.

So naturally, after seeing this style of painting, the female fans of Longguo Xiayan fell in love with it immediately.

But compared to the senses that this character design brings to fans, Xia Yan has a new animation here, which is what shocked fans the most.

"Rebellious Lelouch. The title of this work, I can only say that if the creator is changed, I feel like I'm going to hit the street."

"Why is Xia Yan so strong? I'm crying to death! A model worker in the industry."

"Look at the old thief Xia Yan. Last month he was still in Sword Art Online, Zhou Geng Initial D, and Zhou Geng Cyberpunk Edgewalker. How long did it take for Cyberpunk Edgewalker and Initial D to end? Not a month. Come on, just two new works have been approved. He really made me cry to death."

"The most important thing I like about Old Thief is his creative speed. Good creative speed is a talent, and high quality is also a talent, but the speed is fast and the quality is high. I can only say that the old thief is a god! He earns so much money a year. How much money, he deserves it!"

"Fuck, it will start broadcasting in April next year. He is really a god. I'm crying to death."

"Does the old thief really have no idol burden? He created the magical girl Madoka last year, this year he created the cyberpunk edge walker, and next year, from the current point of view, it is the rebellious Lelouch. Didn't you think about the poor performance of the new work and being complained by the industry?"

"After other creators become famous, they have sharpened their swords for ten years and are bound by the burden of idols. They are afraid of this and that when they create, and they often grind out a mess. It has to be the old thief Xia Yan. After the magic circle becomes famous, he creates casually, hehe It's been less than a year, and it's another fringe walker to become a god. So, don't look at the old thief with the eyes of ordinary people, just brag about him and you're done."

"I'm really excited. Sword Art Online and Initial D have news about animation adaptations. If they can be broadcast next year, maybe you can see the three animation works of Old Thieves in one year. Really, it's amazing."

"I don't even want to stay at the end of this dog day. Can you hurry up and skip to April next year? I really want to watch the premiere of the rebellious Lelouchu."

"But at the end of this month, the first chapter of Hunter x Hunter will be serialized in the North Journal!"

"I forgot about it, mine."

"Why is the old thief so strong? Is there no bottleneck in his creation? The author of another novel I read "The Pure Aunt and the Tenant" either said that he was sick or asked for leave, or Calvin, 30 days a month, at least half a month. , The quality of the novels he writes is extremely low. The old thief’s writing speed is also very fast, except for his love of breaking chapters, I have never seen him suspend publications for strange reasons. Is this a genius?”

"I don't understand. You don't need to understand. Anyway, it's right to support him."

"Rebellious Lelouch, the name is really strange, I hope the quality of this animation can be as good as the Magic Circle and Cyberpunk Edgewalker."

"Be bold, the performance of the old thief's new animation surpasses these two works."

In this October, when the serialization and production news of the two works of Xia Yan, Hunter x Hunter and Lelouch of the Rebellion, were announced later
The water in Longguo's two-dimensional industry was completely muddied by Xia Yan.

The most uncomfortable thing is actually the animation production team of this season's winter party new show.

A cyberpunk fringe walker that has been completed for a month, the protagonist David and the heroine Lucy of this work still firmly occupy the second and No.1 popularity of animated characters in this quarter. .

Everyone originally defaulted that this quarter will be shrouded in the aftermath of the popularity of Edge Walker, and they also wanted to compete for the honor of being the third most popular discussion in the animation industry this quarter.

Inexplicably, Dragon Kingdom is ranked third in the animation character popularity list this quarter, and there is a "Lelouch"?
Nima, this animation is only in the conceptual stage!

The company hasn't started production yet, so they just came up with a character design. You fans have something wrong, right? This has pushed him to the third place in the character popularity list?

There are more than 90 new animations in October, and none of the characters are as popular as David and Lucy, the protagonists of the finished animation Edge Walker.

It's even better now, even the popularity of the protagonist of the rebellious Lelouch of an animation that will be broadcast next year can't be compared.

Is this a joke?
This is so embarrassing.

Although this kind of thing is not Xia Yan deliberately humiliating them.

But there are always people who will check in on themselves.

This night, Xia Yan gained the jealousy and black fans of several colleagues in Longguo.

The so-called colleagues are enemies, that's the truth. Xia Yan is still low-key in the industry, and never slanders any competitor, but competition is like this, you don't need to do anything, others only see that you have made money , I always feel that you stole the money from him, which is very ridiculous.

Mid-October passed by in a flash.

It's late October.

At this moment, Beizhou Comic Club has opened up its firepower, and began to publicize the serialization date of Hunter x Hunter in the industry.

The promotional poster for the work of Hunter x Hunter can be seen everywhere in the two-dimensional commercial streets and subways of major cities in Longguo.

This strength is several times stronger than when Xia Yan's initial D was serialized.

The executives of Beizhou Comics Club also understand that the comics club wants to go one step further, and the necessary investment at this time is necessary.

In this month, the publicity investment for Xia Yan's new comics has exceeded 3000 million Longguo coins
It is extremely rare in the history of the Dragon Kingdom comics industry to have such a publicity for a new comic.

　Adjust the status as soon as possible, and try to restore the [-]-word update.Although I have said this two or three times, I will still work hard!
