A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 342 Disputes
In the new week, after Xia Yan played the slam dunk and initial D animation on Monday and Tuesday, there will not be so many businesses that need him to handle in the next two days.

After I deliberately delegated the various rights related to the production of works to the people below, the business that Xia Yan needs to handle in the company is no longer as much as before, unless Xia Yan must sign and seal some large-scale fund transfers, at least The slam dunk and steel refining animations that are currently on the air, Xia Yan doesn't care about them for a week or two, they can still produce a finished product that satisfies Xia Yan with both quality and quantity.

Even Xia Yan started downloading a bunch of stand-alone games on the computer in the office after a long absence, and spent almost half a day playing games during the working hours of the company.

"This is life!"

After Xia Yan had just cleared a small game boss, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and couldn't help sighing.

But after passing Xiaoguan Pass, it's time to get down to business. There are still some documents on the table that Xia Yan needs to deal with as soon as possible.

Looking back on the past few years, there was almost no free time, and all of them were engaged in business, Xia Yan would naturally sigh like this.

It took several years to set up the Xiatang Animation Production Company. Maybe the company's screenwriting department is still very average, but the comprehensive strength of other departments is definitely among the top in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

As long as Xia Yan can come up with a suitable work, they will definitely be able to complete an animation that satisfies Xia Yan.

For example, the animation of slam dunk.
It was expected by Xia Yan that the fans would complain about the plot in the early stage, but at least the production quality of the animation, anyway, Xia Yan had to say shit after watching it.

but
Xia Yan looked at the company's various business reports, as well as the documents about the company's future development plan submitted by the company's staff, he casually flipped through them and put them aside.

Xiatang Animation Company has developed to the present, and its growth rate has basically slowed down.

This five-year-old company has now become a strong player in the animation industry of Longguo. In terms of company influence, Xia Tang Animation is definitely the number one in the industry.

However, this is the limit of animation production companies. Even in the parallel world, there is basically no such thing as the world's top [-] companies that rely on animation.

The top two-dimensional cultural companies in the parallel world are all engaged in big ip, and animation is just an operating branch of those companies, a means of ip promotion.

For example, Pokémon, is its animation popular?
But Nintendo basically doesn’t care about the income from animation, and most of Pokémon’s income comes from games and derivatives.

Xia Yan is only 22 years old now, he must have an idea to make Xiatang animation an existence comparable to or even surpassed the parallel world Nintendo.

only.
This process cannot be done in a few months.

Even if Xia Yan relied on the huge amount of money he obtained in the animation industry to develop, developing a company is like raising a child. If you feed this child ten meals a day, he will not be able to grow up in a year.

Seeing that the company's game department needs an additional 2000 million funds this quarter, Xia Yan thought about it, and signed it.

At noon, after Xia Yan processed some documents, the assistant handed over the introduction report of some matters that Xia Yan needed to deal with in the afternoon.

What Beizhou comics hope Xia Yan can appear in the fan meeting organized by the comics club next week.

Liuli Book Club wants Xia Yan to cooperate with the company to promote the production and launch of the second season of Sword Art Online, and even wants Xia Yan to go to the Imperial City to accept an interview on a variety show.

More than half a year after the ending, the rebellious Lelouch has also created a huge influence overseas. Overseas fans strongly hope that Xia Yan can have an overseas fan meeting.

The game company in Youlong Kingdom is interested in Xia Yan's Pokémon, and hopes to jointly develop it with Xia Tang Animation and invest in it.
Looking casually, Xia Yan wrote all the words of rejection on it.

The fan meeting or something doesn't mean much to Xia Yan now.

In the past, he did these things because he wanted to be exposed and maintain his popularity. Now, even if he holds a hundred similar events a year, it will basically not help his popularity grow again.

As for the overseas meet-and-greets, Xia Yan rolled his eyes at the intention of a company preparing to take a stake in Pokémon.

It must be rejected.

After working for another two hours in the afternoon, finally, all the things for today are dealt with.

Xia Yan himself got off work early. On the way out of the company, hundreds of employees rushed to say hello to Xia Yan. After driving, Xia Yan returned to his home in less than half an hour.

The house was empty.

Tang Yin is still on a business trip in a coastal city, so she won't be back until tomorrow.

Because Xia Yan is too salty, Mo Ran seldom responds to the invitations of Beizhou comics. She has become the favorite of Beizhou comics club. In addition to drawing comics, she has to satisfy the needs of tens of millions of comic fans in Longguo. Enthusiastic, running around in the first-tier cities of Longguo.

Song Lingyun is also similar, although she will have strange eyes whenever she sees Xia Yan, but as one of the top novelists in Long Kingdom after Xia Yan, she also has to be in charge of the activities of the novel book club and promote her works.

After all, her new novel has been serialized for so long, and the average volume sales will almost reach 2000 million copies.

The gap with Sword Art Online is still not small, but Song Lingyun, the pillar novelist of Liuli Book Club, is definitely one of them.

Xia Yan thought carefully about the current situation of the three people who had the best relationship with him. He graduated less than a year ago, but apart from Tang Yin because he was in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with him, Mo Ran and Song Lingyun had no contact with him. , compared to before, undoubtedly a lot less.

The previous scene of getting up early in the morning and having breakfast together has not happened for a month.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan let out a long sigh.

Xia Yan thinks that her relationship with Mo Ran is pretty good. Just like Tang Yin said, she may have a good impression of him during the past few years of cooperation.

But with the passage of time, and the fact that she has already dated Tang Yin, the thing of goodwill will also be suppressed in her heart, and it should dissipate over time.

At least there is no strange atmosphere between Xia Yan and Mo Ran now.

As for handling the relationship with Song Lingyun.
Xia Yan is now only keeping in touch with her on a friend level, on a deeper level, such as going out for dinner, watching movies, shopping, etc. Xia Yan has rejected Song Lingyun several times in the past half a year, and Song Lingyun also There is no way to take Xia Yan.

She may be more persistent and a little bit crazy about love, but Xia Yan has to restrain herself, otherwise there is a high probability that she will end up in a mess.

Xia Yan doesn't think that after making a mistake, he can perfectly handle the emotional relationship with Tang Yin.

And
Although Xia Yan is still young, considering that Tang Yin is seven or eight years older than herself, Xia Yan also plans to propose to Tang Yin after these works are broadcast this year.

Eating takeaway dinner alone at home, Xia Yan was thinking about his career and future plans for his life.
In April, the temperature gradually rises.

Several weeks have passed, and the Longguo animation industry has ushered in the biggest carnival in recent years.

In the previous market, Xia Yan's works basically stood out there, but in this quarter, Xia Yan's works stand out among the Three Kingdoms.

The three works of Initial D, Slam Dunk, and Fullmetal Alchemist, which were aired on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, each had their own merits.

In terms of ratings, Ganglian maintained at around 6.3%, Dunk at 5.9%, and Initial D at 5.5%, although there is a gap between them.

But in the fan community, the fans of the three works are arguing that they are coming and going, and they are not giving in to each other.

After the plot of Steel Refining entered into April, the main line also began to become clear.

The conspiracy of the artificial human group, what is wrong with the empire, and the enemies codenamed the Seven Sins encountered by the protagonists Edwards.

The slow development of the plot brings fans a strong sense of world substitution, especially the death of Hughes in the middle, which has deceived a large number of fans to tears.
Generally speaking, Steel Refining's ratings are also rising slowly, not as fluctuating as Lelouch, but it is indeed stable.

The situation of Initial D is similar. The fan base of the original manga is here. The ratings are not as good as Ganglian only because the animation production company behind it is promoting. The production quality is much worse than Ganglian. Strictly speaking, the first The character D Xia Shugeng is also a double-edged sword. Fun people will be interested in the initial character D after seeing similar stems, but Chun Ai Dang will not watch this animation when he hears that there is a green hat.

Among the three works, the most controversial one is slam dunk.

It has been serialized for several episodes, the protagonist is still doing some basic training, has conflicts with bad boys, suddenly wants to leave the basketball club, and is suddenly tricked by the head coach of the judo club with a photo of the female protagonist
Although Xia Yan has tried to reduce the plot of the early stage of the slam dunk, many fans still feel that the plot of the early stage of the slam dunk is very scattered.
Unhealthy fighting, funny, daily life, tricks, but basketball
"That's why this animation is called Slam Dunk, slam dunk and master. Up to now, I have only seen the main character fight very well, and the troublemaker is a master."

"I'm also quite puzzled."

"Don't pay too much attention to the title of the work. Anyway, I think this kind of funny plot is very interesting. It makes my stomach hurt from laughing every week."

"What kind of gorilla eats big bananas? It was killed in a thousand years. The old thief is too imaginative. I think he just forgot about the basketball setting, and let the protagonist play tricks like this. I will definitely watch it."

"For funny animation, it is basically impossible to surpass Lelouch's performance. There is indeed a market for funny works in Longguo, but there is no way for funny works to stand at the top of the industry."

"Come on, it's as if the old thief usually writes that the protagonist plays basketball, and the popularity of the slam dunk can surpass Lelouch. The theme of basketball is less popular than the theme of racing cars with the initial D."

"That's why 90% of the fans of Initial D can enjoy watching it even if they don't run the mountain track race. Don't always talk about the domestic basketball enthusiasts. I didn't know anything about the rules of basketball before I became a master. I'm not dead yet, and I'm interested in watching it every week."

"I have a hunch. In fact, the old thief, the slam dunk player, might be bloody in the future. Of course, the bloody I am talking about does not mean that the ratings will drop to 1%. That is unrealistic, but that the popularity will A sharp decline may drop below 3%."

"Uh, why is this mentally retarded talk coming again? The old thief's animation has only been broadcast for a few weeks, so be patient? Do you really think that the old thief spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this animation? We all feel a little flawed Will the old thief not know the early stage of the story?"

"To be honest, although the plot in the early stage of slam dunk doesn't seem to have much to do with basketball, but at least it is very good at shaping the character of the protagonist. Anyway, I like the protagonist. Although he is a bad boy, loves to fight, and has no brains, but I just look at him. With those actions, I feel very happy, and the uncomfortable emotions disappear.”

"Me too. In fact, if the old thief named this animation "The Daily Life of Funny Bad Boys", I would also watch this animation. Essentially, I think the plot in the early stage of slam dunk is okay, but it is not very related to basketball. There are only objections."

"Look first, then question. There are too many examples of the old thief's work that broke out in the early stages. Only new fans will jump out to criticize immediately. Old fans will not speak, and wait for the plot after the slam dunk to get on track. Then hit the questioner s face."

After all, Slam Dunk is the animation work with the largest investment in a single episode in the history of Dragon Kingdom. Its launch is accompanied by the expectations of a large group of people in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

Essentially, there is nothing wrong with the plot in the early stage of the slam dunk. Although Xia Yan edited and edited these plots, he only let it quickly enter the main line, which is the county selection competition plot of the national competition.

In the original animation of Slam Dunk, the protagonist's first official game had to be a friendly match with Lingnan High School. At that time, the animation had aired more than a dozen episodes.

The basketball animation that only allowed the protagonist to touch the ball in more than a dozen episodes will indeed make fans complain a bit.

It's a bit like the composition is off topic. The strict marking teacher, that is, the animation audience of Longguo will definitely complain.

Xia Yan himself could also sense the problem, so he reduced the early episodes of Yingmu Huadao playing tricks and everyone going shopping and doing nothing to less than six episodes.

These daily plots completely retain the character shaping part of Sakuragi Flower Road, and omit other side details. If necessary, follow-up animation bd with supplementary content can be released depending on the situation.

During this period of time, Xia Yan also continued to pay attention to the fans' comments on the slam dunk in Longguo.

As far as the current stage is concerned, some fans are just impatient. They don't see the protagonist dunking and playing basketball for most of the day, and they feel a little impetuous.

But a considerable number of other fans have already watched slam dunk as a funny animation, which is definitely not Xia Yan's original intention.
another two weeks passed
Finally, after the protagonist's retreat crisis is over, Huadao has returned to the basketball club again, and has carried out solid basic skills training.
And the plot of the slam dunk has officially entered the main line.
Well, at the end of the latest episode, it was finally announced in the plot that Xiangbei will play a basketball game in the plot of the next chapter.

The gears of fate are slowly turning. Fans of Dragon Kingdom animation, it is still unclear how the animation of Slam Dunk will change rapidly after the scene of the friendly match with Lingnan High School. From a daily animation of bad boys, It has become the most passionate and classic work in the history of the Dragon Kingdom movement... none of it.
