A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 332 Ideas and Travel

The full-time hunter's ascent to the top now, in fact, although everyone in the two-dimensional industry is amazed, they are not too surprised.

What amazes me is that after reaching the top of the full-time hunter, Xia Yan has completed the first grand slam achievement in the three major fields of Dragon Kingdom novels, comics, and animation for the first time.

But in fact, as early as half a year ago, everyone in the industry had already begun to prepare for this moment.

With Xia Yan's current popularity in the two-dimensional industry of Longguo, coupled with the excellent quality of the full-time hunter's own works, it is only a matter of course for the full-time hunter to achieve this achievement.

Of course, when the full-time hunter reached the top, Mo Ran, Xia Yan's partner, also climbed to the forefront of the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional industry.

The photo of the two of them spread on TV news, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet along with the news that the sales volume of the full-time hunter booklet reached the top.

So far
Xia Yan's position in the two-dimensional field is completely conferred.

In the parallel world, when it comes to Hayao Miyazaki, Akira Toriyama, Oda and others who have great influence and popularity, there are actually different opinions.

After all, everyone is not a track in the same field, and it is difficult for fans to compare with each other.

But in Longguo, there is no objection to this answer.

No. 1 in the Two-dimensional field is Xia Yan.

Although he is only 22 years old in a few months, and even though he is still a week away before he is technically a college graduate, he is the No.1 in the two-dimensional industry of Longguo in the actual sense.
Longguo has tens of millions of fans. Similarly, Xia Yan also has tens of millions of fans in other countries in the world.

And all this.
Just created in less than six years.

From the second year of high school, to the next semester of senior year
At the beginning, Xia Yan was just a small grass in the two-dimensional industry, but in less than six years, it has grown into a towering tree in this field.

The word "miracle" is hard to describe how practitioners in the two-dimensional industry in Longguo feel about Xia Yan at the end of June.

Really, it's too perverted
[Full-time Hunter's single volume has reached the top in sales, which means that Xia Yan, the genius creator of Dragon Kingdom, has officially completed the overall dominance of the Two-dimensional industry. Perhaps it is an era that belongs only to Xia Yan. 】

[One god is born, and the stars fall.In the past few decades, the two-dimensional industry of Longguo has been vying for hegemony. No one can have an absolute advantage in ruling any of the three major fields of "manga", "animation" and "fiction", but Xia Yan did it. It took less than six years to defeat all the competitors in the three major fields of the Dragon Kingdom. 】

[On this day, no one had any objection to Xia Yan being called No.1 in the Dragon Kingdom Two-dimensional industry, and even the black fans who had a lot of opinions on Xia Yan in the past two years lost their voices collectively on this day . 】

[No one held a coronation ceremony for Xia Yan, but from this moment on, everyone in the Dragon Kingdom Two-dimensional world knows that Xia Yan has reached the top of the altar and has become a unique existence in the industry. 】

[The average sales volume of the full-time hunter is the end?Wrong, this is just the beginning. The recent chapters of the Phantom Troupe have entered a good stage, and a large number of Xia Yan fans who have poured in from the field of animation and novels are sweeping up the full-time hunter book in the market. Perhaps in the next few years, we are expected to see the emergence of Dragon Kingdom comics. A masterpiece with an average sales volume of over 3000 million. 】

[Mo Ran, the luckiest person in the comics world, although her drawing skills are very strong, she has to admit that luck plays a huge role in her being able to rise to the top of the comics world with Xia Yan. But think about it the other way around, luck , is also a part of strength! 】

The ascension of the full-time hunter may not have such a great influence in itself, but as the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle in the three major areas that Xia Yan is involved in, its ascension to the top has completely stabilized Xia Yan's position in the industry and attracted a lot of attention from the industry. Of course, related news still has a lot of heat in the industry during the week.

However, Xia Yan, who was busy with graduation matters in June, didn't care too much about these news.

When he first stepped into this industry, what Xia Yan thought in his heart was that he had so many works in the parallel world, and in Longguo, becoming No.1 in the industry was not a dream.

But the more he understands the pros and cons of two-dimensional works in that world and the level of the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yan's goal has actually changed from reaching the top of the Dragon Kingdom to being able to influence himself beyond the number one in this world. How far the force spreads.

Becoming No. 21 in the industry of Longguo at the age of 1 is only a preliminary goal.

In the next few decades, Xia Yan's new goal is to expand his influence from Dragon Kingdom to the whole world.

It's just that things have to take their time.

The last week of June.

Xia Yan received the notice and came to the class teacher who hadn't been here for more than half a year.

More than 40 people in a class came collectively on this day.

The class monitors, study committee members and others began to distribute their graduation certificates and group photos of the class group.

Because of Xia Yan's existence, this class is relatively special. The school leaders made a collective appearance, and even brought together the photographers to find Xia Yan to take a group photo.

This year's outstanding graduate is Song Lingyun, which is indisputable.

After all, Song Lingyun has excellent grades, appearance, academics, and moral character, and she herself, in the light novel industry of Longguo, has become one of the top five most popular existences in the industry so far.

Perhaps there is a huge gap between her works and Xia Yan's Sword Art Online, but compared to any masterpieces from other bookstores, she is worthy of popularity.

Xia Yan looked at the stunning, quiet and beautiful Song Lingyun on the last graduation day of all the students of the college.
The thought arose again.

If not for me.
Then at the age of 21, she has ranked among the top five in the novel industry for her comprehensive influence in the field of Longguo light novels?
He must be the only protagonist in the two-dimensional field of the Dragon Kingdom.

After seeing Xia Yan's achievements in comics and animation, Song Lingyun also has great interest in these two fields.

Specially invited a teacher to teach her relevant knowledge.

Of course, Song Lingyun may not be involved in the subject matter of manga, which is a laborious effort, but it is not impossible to find a collaborator like Xia Yan.

Song Lingyun is actually imitating the path that Xia Yan walked.

But in fact, there is no Xia Yan. With Song Lingyun's talent, after she has achieved certain achievements in the field of novels, her eyes will definitely move closer to the field of animation, comics, and even games.

She is a natural genius in the two-dimensional industry of Longguo
It's just that Xia Yan's reputation in the industry is not too great after encountering the bug of Xia Yan.

Xia Yan thought of this and sighed.

Song Lingyun also noticed Xia Yan's gaze on her.

If it were her in normal life, if Xia Yan didn't take the initiative to take any action, she would definitely remain silent and would not show any emotions.

But today.
After talking to the college leaders, counselors and others, Song Lingyun quietly walked to Xia Yan's side.

"What? It seems that you are not very happy." Song Lingyun said, her voice was still cold, but it contained a softness unique to Xia Yan.

"It's nothing. After graduating, I think that after studying for more than ten years, I will leave my status as a student. I'm just a little sad."

Xia Yan found a reason, and he definitely couldn't express what he wanted in his heart.

"Then you can go to graduate school next time! Then you will be a student again."

"." Xia Yan, it's been four years, and you, Song Lingyun, still can't speak.

"What about you? Your grades are more than enough to recommend graduate students from the school or even foreign graduate students. What do you do?"

"Study is not my homepage." Song Lingyun stood beside Xia Yan and said softly.

"I may try my best, and I will never be able to surpass your current achievements in my life, not to mention being distracted to study and improve my qualifications. Although I am really not satisfied with my current qualifications, when I try my best, I really achieved the one that surpasses you. Goal. Or fail until the age of 80, become an old woman and can no longer hold a pen, then I will consider your proposal today."

"You are still so serious." Xia Yan sighed.

"It's not cute. Few boys can stand your serious approach. It will be difficult to find a partner in the future."

"So that's why you chose Tang Yin instead of me?" Song Lingyun asked after a pause.

"My character makes you feel uncomfortable."

It has been a long time since Xia Yan and Song Lingyun had a showdown with each other. At the beginning, everyone got along awkwardly, but now, the two have been able to discuss related topics calmly.

"That's not true." Xia Yan smiled wryly.

"Or is it because Tang Yin and you spend more time together in the company all day long?" Song Lingyun continued to ask softly.

"Song Lingyun, why are you asking these questions?" Xia Yan said.

"Nothing. Just curiosity."

curious?

Xia Yan sighed, Song Lingyun, a friend, is indeed smart, but his brain circuit is indeed different from ordinary people.

At least a normal woman should give up the idea directly after being rejected, but she is purely waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity.

Just like her obsession with Xia Yan in the field of novels, after identifying Xia Yan as her opponent, even if Xia Yan took out Sword Art Online and achieved such outrageous results,
In her mind, she was just thinking about how long it would take her, three years, five years, ten years, or as she said before, she would not consider giving up until she was 80 years old and couldn't hold a pen.

When dealing with novels and feelings, Song Lingyun has the same attitude, is serious, and only looks for one goal.

This troubled Xia Yan.

"What are you anxious about?" Song Lingyun sensed Xia Yan's wavering, and said something tentatively.

"If you really don't have any thoughts about me, then just ignore me, unless you also have no confidence in yourself."

who will have confidence
Xia Yan complained crazily in his heart.

Even in his eyes, Song Lingyun is an extremely lovely and beautiful woman.

In other words, if he was not in a state of being in a relationship with Tang Yin, but was single and confessed to Song Lingyun, Xia Yan knew very well that he had most likely agreed.

Apart from his achievements in the Two-dimensional industry, he is only a 21-year-old college student with no blind eyes and no psychological problems.
Xia Yan couldn't imagine how a normal man could refuse Song Lingyun's pursuit.

Song Lingyun's pupils looked at the emotions hidden under Xia Yan's expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.

"What are you going to do after graduation?" Song Lingyun didn't continue to press Xia Yan on this topic.

"Well, I have already submitted the scripts of several new works to the company's production department in advance. After some things are sorted out this week, I will probably go on a trip with Tang Yin for a few months."

"Travel?" Song Lingyun frowned upon hearing this.

"Well, couple travel." Xia Yan specially emphasized the word couple.

He still hoped that Song Lingyun would retreat and give up some ideas.

Of course, to be honest, Xia Yan essentially lacks confidence in himself.

What Xia Yan himself had to admit was that he had some random thoughts about Song Lingyun and Tang Yin, two friends he had known since high school.

For example, when I was in high school, I thought about whether one day I would get along with the two of them for a long time and develop a relationship with either Song Lingyun or Tang Yin.

Of course, the fact is that Xia Yan and Tang Yin finally developed a relationship, but if Song Lingyun keeps staring at him like this, Xia Yan himself is very vigilant about it.

Song Lingyun was silent when he heard the words.

"It's okay, you are a couple, this is your freedom." Song Lingyun said softly.

As long as you don't plan to get married and spend your honeymoon directly after graduation.

Although Song Lingyun is different from ordinary women, no matter how much she thinks about Xia Yan, she can only insist on it when Xia Yan has a girlfriend, if Xia Yan is already married.
She herself cannot allow herself to pursue a married man, it has nothing to do with whether she likes it or not, but her final bottom line.

Seeing her expression, Xia Yan sighed.

How stubborn.

In July, Xia Yan officially graduated, transitioning from a student status to a purely social person.

At this time, he was already the chairman of Xiatang Animation, a large animation company with an annual profit of more than one billion, Dragon Kingdom's fifth largest scale, and a book capital of more than four billion.

He is the pillar novelist of Liuli Book Club, the No. [-] Fiction Book Club in Longguo.

He is the pillar cartoonist of Beizhou Comics, the number one comic agency in Dragon Kingdom.

It is recognized by the Longguo Two-dimensional industry.
The number one in the industry, and not at this stage, the number one in this era, but the No.1 in history, and Xia Yan is still making history.

But what happens after a person reaches the top?
After half a month of carnival in the industry, many people dare not speak out, for fear of being sprayed by Xia Yan fans.

But in my heart, I was looking forward to the release of Xia Yan's new works.

Who can keep climbing?

Just like the 10-meter sprint, if a person runs 9.9 seconds, the next time he competes, fans will expect him to run 9.8 seconds, and the next time, it will be 9.7, 9.6, [-]
Until the person really hits his limit, then.
It is to regress from his own limit, his level drops, and he regresses until one day, he will no longer be able to run into the 10-second mark.

The myth is shattered, and everyone loses interest in him and turns to the next myth-maker.

Now, it is Xia Yan's peak in the industry, the time when Xia Yan has the greatest influence, and at the same time, it is also the time when Xia Yan is the most dangerous.

After Lelouch is finished, everyone's expectations for Xia Yan's new work.
to an extremely exaggerated level.

There may be some rational fans who can accept that Xia Yan's new work is not as good as Lelouch, it's normal to be slightly worse.
But what... is it slightly worse?

Is it enough to have Lelouch's 99% level?
What about the 90% level?
What if it is only 80% level?
These sane fans actually think about it in their own minds, they can only make Xia Yan's new work a little bit worse, and if it is much worse, they will probably complain on the Internet.

The best-case scenario is that Xia Yan's new work makes a masterpiece that surpasses Lelouch.

Xia Yan has tens of millions of fans in Longguo, and fans think this way, which is actually a huge psychological pressure on the creator.

If ordinary creators faced this kind of pressure, they would probably have already begun to worry about gains and losses.

The quality of the new work is good, and it may not be able to surpass my previous peak, but if the new work is a little flawed, it will immediately let the reputation I have accumulated before fall, and become a black fan joke.

But Xia Yan was not included among these people.

Because strictly speaking, these works were not created by him, and he would not be too concerned about gains and losses. If a work has a bad review, next time he will choose a top-level work seriously, and just stop these people's mouths.

However, Xia Yan is a person who seeks stability. In itself, the two works of Steel Refining and Slam Dunk have the highest investment. They should take a little longer to polish, and the broadcast time will also be delayed.

However, in order to prevent the black fans from resurging for a short time, Xia Yan still put Fullmetal Alchemist in January next year, Slam Dunk in April, Tianyuan Breakthrough in July, Hua Monogatari in October.
The premieres of the four works are staggered in four quarters, and
In terms of the length of these four works, except for Tianyuan Breakthrough, the others are basically long novels that have to be serialized for more than one year.

If the animation fans of Longguo think that Lelouch is already at the peak, then Ganglian may have to change the fans' impression.

Strictly speaking, Lelouch and the Magic Circle belong to the peak of the cartoon business field in the parallel world, and their commercial value is extremely bright in their respective eras.

But the pinnacle of the word-of-mouth works of Zhenlun, Steel Refining. In fact, it is still better.

Of course, several works must be on the same level, with emphasis on different aspects.

Just considering the depth of the plot, favorable rate, etc., Ganglian is the eternal god in the hearts of most animation fans in the parallel world.

As for the slam dunk, needless to say, leaving aside the fighting plot of Sakuragi in the early stage, just look at the main part of basketball, this work is an undisputed masterpiece.

Tianyuan Breakthrough and the Monogatari series are not as good, whether it is commercial value or word-of-mouth, it is not as good as Lelouch and Magic Circle.

It's just that compared with local original works like Longguo, the gap is still obvious.

The results will not be bad after the broadcast.

After the relevant plans are arranged.
Xia Yan pushed all the activities about herself in the next three months.

Pulling Tang Yin, the two carried a suitcase, surrounded by several personal bodyguards and tour guides.
In order to make up for the mistake that there were almost no couples dating during the one-year relationship, I planned a travel strategy for traveling to seven countries including Dragon Kingdom within three months.

If you make money, you should take the time to enjoy it.
Making money is not necessarily Xia Yan's goal, but enjoying life properly is definitely Xia Yan's goal in life at the same level as disseminating various works in Longguo.

Of course, Xia Yan went on a trip, and the serialization of the full-time hunter and Sword Art Online in Longguo was hindered to some extent.

Basically in the rhythm of updating a chapter every two weeks.

The fans were full of resentment and complained endlessly.

But Xia Yan doesn't care so much anymore. In the nearly six years of his career as a creator, he has never been willful once. This time he must bite the bullet.

Moreover, in the next few years, fans of the comic work Hunter will realize what it means to be updated from time to time.
At that time, let alone update every two weeks, it will not be possible to update once every two months.

Now it can only be said to let fans get acquainted temporarily.

In this way, the time has entered autumn
Although the serialization of Sword Art Online and Hunter is slow, the sales of single volumes are still showing an upward trend.

Xia Yan is now almost a myth in the Two-dimensional industry, which also drives Xia Yan’s works to be a myth. The most recommended works by new Two-dimensional fans are Xia Yan’s works. Those who used to look down on Xia Yan are now also Breaking the stereotypes in my heart, I began to buy booklets of his works.

This is the star effect.

It's just that the field of comics and novels doesn't have much influence, but the field of animation is different.

After Lelouch is finished, the autumn animation market will be dominated by the works of the three major animation production companies.

The animation with the highest ratings this quarter, compared to last quarter's Lelouch, dropped by more than 3%
Three weeks into the broadcast, the strongest animation has only 3.1% ratings.

Don't look at half of Lelouch's ratings, but in fact, the gap in influence of the works is far higher than this.

This is the same as the 12-meter race. Those who score 9 seconds are rubbish, and those who score [-] seconds can be called gods.

In terms of the absolute value of the data, the gap between the two is only 25%, but in reality, the rankings of billions of human beings may be separated by dozens of grades.

Everyone in the Longguo animation industry is still looking forward to Xia Yan's return soon.

Xia Yan at this time
Gifts, exotic customs, the world, landscapes, spiritual baptism, forget all the creation and reminders of works, and immerse yourself in the honeymoon with Tang Yin and the lovers and the sports between the lovers.

There is no real sense of making money, but spending money.
That feeling is too obvious.

Both Xia Yan and Tang Yin fell into a state of salty fish forgetting all their troubles and working.

It's cool not to go to work for a while, and it's always cool not to go to work.

"Alas."

On a certain yacht, there were only Xia Yan, Tang Yin, and a female captain.

The two are wearing swimsuits looking at the blue sea in front of them, and the seagulls attracted by the food
Tang Yin spread her hands, her smooth and enchanting waist, slender calves, and fair and beautiful face were immersed in the sea breeze.

Xia Yan was concentrating on the job of roasting unknown prawns that he had just caught in the sea.

This is the dinner he and Tang Yin had this afternoon.

"Ah, what a salted fish, the two of us."

Tang Yin directly lay down in Xia Yan's arms, and a faint girly scent hit her. From Xia Yan's angle, she could see the scene inside the chest of Tang Yin's swimsuit in front of her, and Xia Yan immediately became angry.

"It's okay." Xia Yan controlled himself, after all it was broad daylight.

"But it's time to go back." Tang Yin said at this time.

"Your Sword Art Online hasn't been updated for three weeks, you're not interested in writing it at all! Hunter x Hunter manga is okay, you can fax back the storyboard draft, let Mo Ran create it, and it hasn't been updated for two weeks."

"Go back." Xia Yan's laziness struck.

"Let's play for half a month."

"It's already September, don't be lazy. Otherwise, your fans will probably go berserk by then."

Tang Yin hugged Xia Yan's arm and said softly.

"Besides, you and I are not here. Many businesses in the company cannot be carried out. It is estimated that the hidden income lost is between tens of millions to hundreds of millions. Many employees in the company are dying of anxiety and dare not report to you, but more than a dozen people a day The phone call secretly urged me."

"Hey, I didn't play enough this time, who knows when I will have time to take you out next time." Xia Yan said.

"There will always be." Tang Yin smiled.

"And the point is to be with you...not where you are together." Tang Yin raised her head slightly and kissed Xia Yan's lips.

"It doesn't matter how much money you make, what matters is that if you continue to salt fish for a long time, the market will be taken back by competitors, which will cause certain losses to our partners. The income of their employees' families will be affected. .”

"Xia Yan, you are now the core of multiple industrial chains in the Longguo Two-dimensional industry, which is related to the jobs of many people. They are not like us who can get a lot of money after stopping work for ten years."

"It's okay to be willful for a short time, but for a long time, some of the small bosses and company employees who bet on our company will go bankrupt and can't pay the mortgage." Tang Yin said.

"That's fine." Xia Yan was silent for a while after hearing the words, and felt a little bit of responsibility on her body. She hugged Tang Yin and took a deep breath.

Tang Yin and Xia Yan said that he didn't care how much money they lost for a day off work, but Xia Yan couldn't help but talk about the family income of his collaborators and employees.

Just like Dragon Ball, Naruto and other works in the parallel world, the tail can't be lost, because these works involve a huge industrial chain, which is related to the work of many people in the chain.

Of course, most of the income from the industry chain is taken away by the boss, but even the leftover soup is enough for thousands of company employees to support their families.

This is also the reason why Dragon Ball will come up with inexplicable animation original plots, and Naruto will engage in bloggers.

You can't end them if you want them to continue generating revenue
Xia Yan looked towards a certain direction on the sea level and narrowed his eyes.

　This book is almost at the final stage, mainly I don't know what else to write to improve the protagonist.

　　Urban novels can't change the map, and if the protagonist becomes famous, there is nothing to write.

　　A work like Hunter itself can turn an ordinary person into a top creator in the industry by taking out one.

　　Further up, it will be difficult to rise.

　　It is also difficult for me to write those serials in Dead Flames that have been serialized for decades.

　　Otherwise, writing about the protagonist's development company is probably quite boring, so the next few works should be written appropriately so that the writing will not be too procrastinated.
