A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 293 Warming up with Lelouch on New Year's Eve

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Tang Yin went home temporarily.

Her family was originally in Shanghai, but she didn't go back at all in order not to be urged to marry by her father, but she had to go back on New Year's Eve. She said that Xia Yan and him would go home for a "second meeting" with her father. But Xia Yan didn't want to go to Tang Yin's house to work as a light bulb during Chinese New Year, so he declined the proposal.

Tang Yin herself said that her family has dozens of people every year during Chinese New Year.

Tang Yin was rather disappointed by this.

After all, every New Year's Eve, her big family gathers together to discuss which cousin married which virtuous wife?Which cousin married which young and promising hero.

If she can bring Xia Yan home, it will make all the cousins ​​who have provoked her as a single dog in front of her in the past few years envious.

After all, it doesn't matter that Xia Yan is young, he still has good looks, and most importantly, he is talented and rich.

Although Xia Yan doesn't pay much attention to these things on weekdays, in fact, relying on several Dragon Kingdom fire works, Xia Yan is now a rich man with a fortune of more than 20 billion yuan.

The total net worth of one person is stronger than that of Tang Yin's big family combined.

After enduring the ridicule from her relatives for several years, she still thought that Xia Yan would help her find her place again today.

In the afternoon, Xia Yan sat alone in the living room at home, opened all the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, watched the winter snow falling outside, and ate the New Year's Eve dinner quietly by himself.

To be honest, from outsiders' perspective, it's really lonely.

But Xia Yan himself is fine, he is not a family animal, and after his father died, he has adapted to this environment to a certain extent, that is, Song Lingyun, Tang Yin, and Mo Ran discuss topics together when eating on weekdays. Now a person will feel a little weird.

After eating, I watched a popular anime broadcast by Longguo this season for a while, and wrote the ending plot of the chapter of Sword Art Online's alo chapter in the room.

it's ten o'clock at night
The sound of someone entering the house from the electronic lock in the hall of the house sounded.

This made Xia Yan a little strange.

Turning around to see, it was Tang Yin.

He was wearing a light white down jacket, and his hair was tied into a single ponytail. Although he was holding an umbrella, his clothes and hair were covered with snow.

The smooth and tender face was slightly red from the cold wind. After seeing Xia Yan and a smile appeared on his face, he felt the warm temperature in the room after the air conditioner was turned on, and then took off the down jacket on his body.

"Why are you back?" Xia Yan asked after a pause.

After all, Tang Yin didn't go home for a few months on weekdays, so she had to stay at home for a day when she went back to celebrate the New Year.

"What? I'm not welcome?" Tang Yin walked to Xia Yan's side, and grabbed Xia Yan's palm.

"Damn, it's so cold!" Xia Yan complained.

"I know, that's why you use your hands to keep me warm." After Tang Yin sat down next to Xia Yan, she leaned her head directly on Xia Yan's shoulder.

"Okay, let me answer your first question." Tang Yin said with a smile.

"I was planning to rest at home all night, but lying on the bed, I suddenly thought that if you were alone in this empty room, what would you do if you were afraid of ghosts in the middle of the night. So I came back to save you."

"Afraid of female ghosts in the middle of the night? Do you think I'm you?" Xia Yan sneered.

"and"

Really, the so-called soul, what the hell?Isn't it the Yuan Qing in Xia Yan's mind?
To some extent, this thing has no sense of mystery to Xia Yan, and is not afraid at all.

"You won't follow my words and cooperate with me!" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan speechlessly, and then said in a low voice.

"The main reason is that you are celebrating the new year alone, and there is no one around you. I am worried that you will feel uncomfortable, so I come back to accompany you."

Xia Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled.

"It's because I was a little depressed before, but now I find that it's much better."

"That's right." Tang Yin regained her spirits upon hearing this.

"Yes, it is my goddess Tang Yin. Thank you for not forgetting me." Xia Yan cooperated with her with a smile.

The two joked a bit, and finally, Xia Yan asked a serious question.

"What about uncle? You ran away from home during the Chinese New Year, and he didn't respond?"

"I said I went to my boyfriend's house for the New Year, and he was very happy."

The two of you said something to each other, and they chatted like this until midnight.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside.

Huge fireworks were also set off in the sky. At midnight, on time, the whole city was full of grand occasion.

Longguo has no regulations on fireworks and firecrackers. During the Chinese New Year, it is still very lively. Officials will set off fireworks, and private individuals can also buy and set off fireworks.

Xia Yan took Tang Yin's hand and walked to the window.
Open the window, and the cold wind and gunpowder-smelling air blow in.

"Hey, Xia Yan..." Tang Yin's pupils flashed the reflection of the fireworks in the sky.

"Ok?"

"How do you feel now?" Tang Yin asked.

"Me." Xia Yan grasped Tang Yin's palm tightly.

"I hope that next year, I can watch the New Year's fireworks with you."

Starting from New Year's Eve, the next seven days belong to the holidays stipulated by the laws of the Dragon Kingdom.

During this period, Sword Art Online and Hunter x Hunter each updated and serialized a chapter.

The sword art online alo chapter has entered the later stage of the plot.

The protagonist, Kirito, is already trying to figure out how to get to the top of the World Tree, find Asuna imprisoned in the birdcage, and rescue her.

As for the latest update of Hunter x Hunter, it made Leorio perform a wave.

He frightened the muscular man who pretended to be dead in the previous episode to make him afraid, so he voluntarily surrendered, bringing his battle with Kurapika to an end.

then
It's the confrontation between Leorio and a female prisoner.

The two of them competed, competing with each other, and then gambled.

The first competition item was proposed by a female prisoner, guessing whether she was a man or a woman.

Typical psychological warfare.

There may be very few people who look like girls but are actually boys in society, but in the prison in the comics, who doesn't?

No matter how you guess, this competition is extremely risky.

But if you guess it is a woman, you must verify it with your own hands to take advantage of it.

This is the psychological trap set by the female prisoner for Leorio.

To be honest, this plot is pretty funny.

The audience also looked overjoyed.

Sure enough, Leorio easily lost this round.

Then it was Leorio's turn, and he proposed boxing guessing as a competition event for the two of them this round.

then
The whole chapter of the manga revolves around the game of guessing boxing, a game that children know, and unfolds a series of knowledge explanations and psychological tactics.

To be honest, the psychological tactics and knowledge involved in Hunter x Hunter are not considered advanced knowledge from a psychological point of view.

If they are people of this profession, then they know a lot of the knowledge involved in the plot.

But the problem is that the subject matter of comics is ultimately for the public.

The vast majority of general readers do not understand this knowledge.

and
In the form of comics, it is difficult to apply boring psychological knowledge to comic plots and make readers read with gusto.

Naturally, the simple-minded Leorio easily fell into the trap of the female prisoner and failed.

In the end, in the Tower of Trials, only Qi Ya's performance remained in the fight between Xiaojie and his gang and the prisoners.

As for Dongba, readers didn't expect him to perform well.

A few days passed by and the annual vacation was over.

Beizhou Manga Club and Liuli Book Club soon had all their employees present and resumed normal operations.

Mo Ran flew back to Shanghai by plane on the second day after receiving her vacation, and brought large and small bags of local specialties from her hometown to Xia Yan and Tang Yin.

As for Song Lingyun, he returned with his suitcase the next day.

She brought Mo Ran, Xia Yan, and Tang Yin the peace talismans she had harvested in the temple during the Chinese New Year respectively.

"You don't believe this?"

Tang Yin and Xia Yan were quite surprised when they received this item.

"Just believe it. Anyway, it's boring during the Chinese New Year, so let's go for a walk with the family." Song Lingyun smiled slightly when he heard this.

After the annual leave, Xia Yan's life and work finally got back on track.

The time has also entered February.
And to this time period.

In fact, in the Longguo Two-dimensional industry, it is a little more subtle.

Because basically starting from this time period, the animation companies that are preparing to serialize new works in the animation market in the summer of April will successively buy promotional spots in the major media and advertisers in Longguo to preheat the broadcast of their own works. .

But this year's Dragon Kingdom animation market
[The animation adapted from the popular combat manga "Rain Seeker" produced by Yuanling Company will officially shift from the April summer schedule to the autumn schedule. 】

[Tian Ming, the top animation screenwriter of Longguo, officially announced that the original and new animation "Tianqing" will be shifted to the winter animation market after four years. 】

[The classic game changed animation "Fever Metal" shifted.】

After entering February, all animation fans in Longguo did not wait for more news about their favorite animation works to be released on the market.

Instead, it only ushered in the news that many well-known companies have moved their works.

Why this happens, the entire industry is well aware.

Normally speaking, which animation quarter market competition is not fierce?
No matter which season you put the animation works produced under your command, the difference is not too big.

Therefore, the animation production companies in Longguo usually don't engage in such boring tricks as shifting files.

The TV station broadcasts it, isn't it just to compete for ratings?
Who wants to compete for ratings by broadcasting on the same schedule, on the same weekday, and at the same time slot?Then come on.

Life and death are bearish, and if you don't accept it, you will do it. Who is afraid of whom?

but
This situation has changed in the past two years.

Magical Girl Madoka Magica two years ago, the season it aired could be said to be eating meat and drinking soup, so there was only a little oil star left for other works.

During the same period, not only the ratings of animation works were squeezed, but also the sales of animation bds were released afterwards, and the sales volume dropped by more than 40% compared with the forecast. Many animation projects that were profitable finally ushered in huge losses.

And last year's Cyberpunk Edgewalker reproduced this scene.

This animation was broadcast in the autumn schedule, and its influence even lasted the entire winter animation schedule.

Now in April, Xia Yan's new animation rebellious Lelouch will be aired again.

The animated pv of Lelouch, which Xia Yan promoted at the 2077bd release conference, has already exceeded [-] million views on the whole network.

And this animation, with a total investment of [-] million, is the largest investment project in Xia Yan's animation career.

And Xia Yan even let it go, saying that Lelouch had a great possibility to surpass the magic circle.

Various data are combined.
It's no wonder that these colleagues in the Xiayan animation industry chose to escape the summer animation schedule after careful consideration.

Anyway, it's good for everyone to get used to things like animation skipping tickets.

However, since the production of an animation has started, and the schedule has been confirmed, there is a large amount of funds squeezed on this work. Capital is to pursue the rate of return, so it cannot be shifted for too long.

This directly led to the fact that this autumn's animation market, which was originally relatively less competitive, was shifted to autumn because of a bunch of works in April, which made this schedule seem so crowded.

But even so.
No one wants to compete with the rebellious Lelouch in April.

Who knows if it is another popular masterpiece?
Anyway, avoid it first.

Only the producers behind those low-cost animations don’t matter, anyway, the gods will not hurt them when they fight, and their low-cost garbage animations have special fans who like to watch them.

Xia Yan came to the company and looked at the report of the new quarter of Longguo animation market summarized by his subordinates.

Weird expression.
"The rebellious Lelouch is a long novel with a total length of more than [-] episodes in two seasons! It will be aired from April this year until the animation market ends in the spring of next year." Xia Yan was a little bit dumbfounded.

He didn't deliberately squeeze the living space of these colleagues, but the fact is that these animations that are shifted to the autumn market will also be 100% affected by Lelouch's popularity.

It can even be said that it will be even worse if they move to the autumn market.

Because Lelouch's early plot is still a bit boring, the campus water plot is interspersed.

Lelouch was just a sophomore boy in the early stage, and the charm of the character is still in the process.

But at the end, it is full of high energy, and the popularity of the heroine cc and the supporting roles will take off.

In fact, the most affected by Lelouch's popularity will be the autumn and winter, as well as the animation works in the spring quarter of next year.

At that time, Lelouch would be broadcast to the later stage of the story.

"Forget it, it's none of my business." Xia Yan shook his head.

After all, business competition is what it is.

In the first ten days of February, Xia Yan's Xiatang Animation Production Company also struck while the iron was hot, releasing a promotional video for Lelouch's animation pv2!

Unlike the pv1 announced at the previous press conference, pv2 shows more details about the role of the heroine cc.

Especially her voice acting.
Xia Yan interviewed hundreds of female voice actors in Longguo, only to find this voice actor that matches the voice of the animation version cc in the parallel world very well.

After the release of Lelouch animation preview pv2, on the day
Lelouch's related hot search words were directly listed in the top ten of Jiuxiao and other major Two-dimensional forums.

And within a day, the hits of this pv on the entire network directly exceeded 1000 million.

This performance made all the companies in the animation industry smile wryly and shake their heads. Although the April animation schedule has not come yet, everyone basically understands who is the quarterly hegemony animation.

The Spring Festival of the Dragon Kingdom has just passed for more than a week.

But for Dragon Kingdom animation fans, their Spring Festival.

It was April, the day Lelouch of the Rebellion aired.

The rebellious Lelouch's real animation broadcast campaign also started in early February, and the whole Dragon Kingdom started simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the next day.
Another episode of Hunter x Hunter comics is published serially.

This chapter, on the cover of the journal, is a character picture of Qi Ya with a terrifying smile on his face.

I want to ask the hunter fans in the parallel world, where is the most impressive plot for the character of Qi Ya?

Maybe out of ten hunter fans, seven or eight will immediately recall the battle between Qi Ya and the real killer, the Ripper, in the Tower of Trials.

After all, it is the childhood shadow of many hunter fans, but it is the same as Kurapika's performance in the first two episodes.

In this battle, Qi Ya's performance was slightly different, which can be regarded as polarized.

The number of fans who have no fans at the same time will also dissuade many comic readers.

The kind of readers who have three views are very upright, it will be very awkward to read this plot.

After all, Qi Ya, a member of the killer family who knows more about killing than the murderous Ripper
Why are you a member of the protagonist group?
In other comics, the protagonist of this kind of guy must draw a clear line with him, and never interact with him!

But in the hunter, Xiaojie doesn't care about these at all.

To be honest, Xiaojie who will be friends with murderous monsters like Qiya and Hisoka, can he be considered a good person?

This in itself is the hunter's world view.

Some people feel uncomfortable and can't stand it, but more people are addicted to it.
