A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

The work of Ganglian makes people feel that during the process of watching, they will not feel any extreme fluctuations in emotions, such as being happy one second, and a popular character will die directly in the next second.

In the parallel world, works like Giant are different. They always suddenly ignite or become violent at a certain moment, or switch from extreme sadness to extreme burning, making the audience feel like they are on a roller coaster. .

Steel Refining has always had its rhythm. During the process of watching, you may feel that some plots are handled relatively flatly, but after watching it, you will become more immersed in it when you think about it.

Moreover, the second or third brush of steel refining will actually have a better experience, which is very different from many animation works that just want to fast forward after watching it for the second time.

Tonight, although the animation of Steel Refining has finished broadcasting on the TV station, it is just the beginning for this work.

From the first episode of this work, the idea of ​​"what you want to get, you have to give" runs through the whole work, and in the last episode, the name of Fullmetal Alchemist is sublimated with Edward's words ,and
Although the plot is not depressing and tear-jerking, there is that kind of separation emotion in it.First, in the ending Edward, in order to better understand the world, even if he confessed his love to Wendy, he resolutely embarked on a train bound for a foreign country.
Just like a reincarnation, even though Edward's father, Hohenheim, loved Edward's mother so much, he still ignored his wife and children in order to defeat the villain in the bottle.

Edward's decision to travel around the world makes it hard not to remind the audience of Hohenheim's ending.

After defeating the villain in the bottle, he got rid of the fate of eternal life. He came to his wife's grave alone, and died in front of his wife's grave with a happy smile at the end.
So after the steel refining is over tonight, more steel refining fans still feel tears.

"It's been more than a year, and the steel refining is over."

"As a person, I have three or five friends in reality. Everyone lives in different places. In the past six years, the work of Xia Yan's old thief has accompanied me the most. Every time his work ends, I want to cry. It feels like a friend is leaving. I'm far away."

"Don't make it so sad. It makes me want to cry. For such an excellent work like Steel, there will definitely be theatrical animations and animation-adapted movies and TV series in the future."

"However, Edward's story is over. He lost the door of truth at the price, and now he is just an ordinary person. Alas, even if there is a theatrical version, we will not be able to see the omnipotent Edward."

"It's so uncomfortable. Obviously I think this ending is amazing, and I can't think of a better ending than this, but...it's just so uncomfortable."

"I feel that Steel Refining is already more powerful than Lelouch in my heart."

"I still think Lelouch is better, but between the two, it's not a simple distinction, it's just a matter of personal preference. I think Lelouch ranks first in my heart, but I like Lelouch more. This role is nothing more than that, but from an objective point of view, I also admit that Ganglian is not inferior to Lelouch at all."

"The connotation of Ganglian's works feels a little more profound."

"Animation works should not discuss the connotation of the work. It's not philosophy. It's the same as some people who like classical music and look down on pop music. Is it necessary? I watch animation for fun. As long as the animation is good-looking, it doesn't matter. Connotation or not."

"Indeed, the difference between the two works can't be compared no matter what. The hard-to-tune is the truth that will never change. The only thing is very clear. The sales data, popularity index, and ratings of the works are infinite. It can be argued. A niche work can never become a god, works of the same level as Ganglian and Lelouch, who is more powerful, can only be compared from these aspects."

"Ugh"

"I hope that after the old thief finishes this work, he can make persistent efforts and come up with an even more powerful new work."

On the night when the steel refining was completed, the Longguo Two-dimensional circle was no longer as sensational as before. After all, Xia Yan's fans have experienced such scenes many times over the past few years, and they also have psychological expectations for the quality of his works.

Steel Refining is indeed an out-and-out masterpiece, but everyone knows it in their hearts, and they also know that others think so. After the end, there are fewer people who crazily tout the work than before, and most of them are still immersed in the plot, and Discussion on the influence of works and other aspects.

Melancholy, reluctance and other emotions brewed in my heart.

But in the end... the steelmaking is still over, in this spring, this March
The next day, early in the morning, all the media in Longguo compiled articles and reported the news of the completion of steel refining, listing the influence of this work and its impact on the animation industry.But basically it's commonplace talk.

For Xia Yan now, these things are just the icing on the cake for him. Even if these media departments don't praise Xia Yan, everyone in Longguo Two-dimensional industry knows that no one can shake Xia Yan's position in this industry.

Now everyone just wants to know.
The two episodes of Ganglian aired last night, when the ratings of that episode are finally counted, it will break the 7% mark
Even including Xia Yan's competitors, all companies in the animation industry are very nervous.

Their feelings for Xia Yan are very complicated, but most companies actually support Xia Yan in their hearts after admitting the gap between themselves and Xia Tang Animation and accepting their fate.

For so many years in Longguo, in TV programs, variety shows, TV dramas, talent shows, animation and other sections have their own achievements.

However, there are animations and TV dramas that have a rating of more than 6%. Among them, there is not a single work that has a rating of more than 7%.

If Ganglian can break the ratings of 7% in a single episode, it will really save face for the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

The strength of No.1 in the animation industry is like this. In the future, when you quarrel with those who watch TV dramas and variety shows on the Internet, whoever is the best, if you move out a work of this level, the other party will definitely be speechless.

And in fact
Xia Yan and Magic City TV1 have been preparing for this for more than half a month, and spent tens of millions of marketing expenses, so the effect must be good.

The ratings of the episode in Forged Steel, where Edward beats the villain in the boss bottle, did not break 7%.

But the last episode, all of which is full of literary dramas, made the ratings of this episode of Ganglian close at 7.02%
Although it is only a little higher than 7%, just a little bit is still high.

In the history of Dragon Kingdom, the first work with a rating of 7% for a single episode was born on this day.

Although Lelouch's fans were a little bit reconciled, they still cheered for Xia Yan in line with Steel Refining's fans.

The major Two-dimensional forums are full of related news.

Xia Yan's Xia Tang animation even started a celebration under Xia Yan's signal.

The live broadcast and staff dinners were also held in succession in the next few days.

One thousand lucky fans will be drawn randomly on the official website, and they will be presented with a full set of animation bd discs of Ganglian Circle.

You know, with the length of Steel Refining, at least there are nearly twenty volumes of BD, and the current price of animation BD is worth thousands of Longguo coins.

Of course, for Xia Tang, a peripheral manufacturer, how much does the production cost of some bd discs cost?The reason why Xia Yan didn't give away too much was to avoid stimulating those loyal fans who bought BD, hurting their hearts, and avoiding psychological imbalance.

The similar marketing activities of Modu TV1 are naturally not far behind.

We are also planning to hold a special show on Steelmaking on Friday and invite Xia Yan to appear at that time to explain to Dragon Kingdom fans all the foreshadowings in Steelmaking.

As the owner of the company, Xia Yan has been extremely busy during this time, and finally...
It wasn't until the beginning of April that the heat of steel smelting finally dropped a bit.

After all, no matter how good Steel Refining is, it is impossible for the Two-dimensional fans of Longguo to continue to immerse themselves in it. Every season, there are many game works to fill the audience's attention.

For example, the Pokémon animation that started broadcasting in April.

As the pre-promo animation of the Pokémon [-] game that will be launched at the end of the year, Xia Yan's promotion of this work is also full of specifications.

However, for those Two-dimensional fans who are already adults in Longguo, Pokémon animation without the bonus of childhood feelings, they just think it is a slightly novel work.

Xia Yan doesn't care too much here. His goal is to target those elementary and middle school students in the Dragon Kingdom, and cultivate fan seedlings of his works. He won't force too much on the popularity of Pokémon animation at the beginning. Anyway, he is now on the company account. With sufficient funds, even if ten Pokémon animations are produced in a row, it is not a big money for him.

After the completion of Steelmaking, the Dragon Kingdom TV animation industry has completely entered the era of double-wall competition between Slam Dunk and Sword Art Online animation.

As for the new Pokémon released in early April?
In fact, its popularity is not too high.

Strictly speaking, the animation content of Pokémon, at least in the early stage, is quite young. It’s not that these adult Two-dimensional fans in Longguo can’t stand it, but if there are top works such as slam dunk and sword In serialization, these people will definitely not be too interested in Pokémon.

After the first episode aired, the ratings barely reached the 5% level.

Of course, this 5% moisture is also there. If it didn't use Xia Yan's name to attract the attention of Xia Yan fans, the ratings may only be at the 3% level.

but
Adult Two-dimensional people don't have such a strong feeling towards Pokémon, but it's different for children in the Dragon Kingdom.

It is difficult for elementary school students to understand the heavy and profound lines and thoughts in Steel Refining. Even if adults say Steel Refining is beautiful, many children still say they can’t understand it.

Naruto in the parallel world actually has an excellent plot, but when Naruto was broadcast on "Star TV", many of its Huaguo fans were still in elementary school at that time, and many people intuitively felt that Itachi had something wrong. For the sake of the village, he actually killed his whole family, one of them is a bastard. But when these elementary school students (including a certain web writer) grow up and look back at this plot, they can realize that Itachi was facing the choice between the country and the family at that time.

The perspectives of adults and children are different.

Pokémon animation works are simple and straightforward. From the character design to the painting style, they are all juvenile works. The impact on children is hard for adults to imagine.

Therefore, in the two-dimensional group of adults who often surf the Internet and talk freely in forums, the popularity of Pokémon can only be said to be average in Xia Yan's works, while in the group of elementary school students, this work, two weeks after it was broadcast, It has already started to spread rapidly.

A group of researchers under Xia Yan's company is collecting these data and summarizing them into reports for Xia Yan to watch every day.

Of course, Xia Yan is a layman when it comes to enterprise ip management and operations, but money can make ghosts work, so it is not difficult for him to hire some professionals to help Pokémon manage with his current net worth of tens of billions.

Besides, he knows how Pokémon became popular in the parallel world. There are money and people, and then he adds a little bit of God's perspective, which comes from his own management direction intervention.
Xia Yan still has the confidence to present the glory of this work in the parallel world on the plane of Dragon Kingdom.

However, it will take some time.

It took 20 years for these works of Deathfire Sea Dragon Ball to become a world-class IP, and it took nearly a century for Marvel to become popular all over the world through film adaptations.

Even if Xia Yan is the No.1 in the two-dimensional industry of Dragon Kingdom, he can use his popularity to shorten the time for Pokémon's influence to spread to a certain extent, but this is still a job that lasts for several years, or even more than ten years.

In April, although the steel production was completed, the situation in the animation industry of Longguo has hardly changed much from before.

New dramas are emerging one after another, but the works at the top of the popularity list are all Xia Yan's. Even if there are differences in popularity among them, Xia Yan's work with the lowest popularity has also formed a clear impression on the works of other animation companies in Longguo. In the Two-dimensional fan group, everyone's mindless support for Xia Yan's works has become more and more intense. This situation has made other animation companies in Longguo feel chills and despair
It has been two years, and even though Xia Yan's works have changed, they have always dominated the list of the most popular works in Longguo, and they have not fallen for a day.

Not to mention Xia Yan's fall from the altar, even the possibility of being squeezed down for a short time is invisible.

This kind of invincible popularity and oppressive force in the industry makes many colleagues feel suffocated.

The idea of ​​prosperity and decline naturally exists in the Dragon Kingdom, but no one has any idea whether this will happen to Xia Yan.

No.1 in the two-dimensional industry is just the limit of ranking, but is this the limit of Xia Yan?

who knows?
Lelouch was outrageous enough, Xia Yan made steel refining in less than a year.

Steel Refining now seems to be the new pinnacle in the field of Longguo animation, but no one can tell how long this work can defend its "No. 24" glory. After all, Xia Yan is only [-] years old now.

Half a month passed in a flash.

The influence of the completion of steel smelting finally subsided, and Xia Yan also got out of the finishing work of steel smelting, and began to prepare for the wedding in July.

Tang Yin is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun. For weddings or something, she hopes to keep it simple, and just invite relatives to eat.But for Xia Yan, since he wanted to do it, Xia Yan must still do it according to high standards.

He doesn't have many friends, but he has a lot of partners, such as peripheral manufacturers of Longguo, TV stations, partners in the animation industry, and overseas copyright operators.
There are also acquaintances from the novel book club and comic club, a few classmates who had a good relationship in high school, buddies in junior high school, and childhood playmates
As for relatives, Xia Yan hardly had contact with them after becoming famous, not because Xia Yan was stingy, but because these people took the initiative to cut off contact with Xia Yan when Xia Yan's family was in trouble. Go post it, but the invitations that should be sent will still be sent out. Xia Yan doesn't care if people are ashamed to come. Anyway, he is not going to accept gift money. He is not afraid to owe favors.

All in all, Xia Yan can still create a lively atmosphere at the wedding banquet by gathering together.

In the office, Xia Yan let out a long breath, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Time really flies by."

The scene of secretly writing novels while studying in high school is still vivid in my memory, as if it was yesterday, and now looking back, it is a time that I can't go back.

Marriage Thinking of this word that he thought was so far away before, Xia Yan lost his mind for a while, and then laughed at himself, this is not pre-marital entanglement.

April, in Xia Yan's anticipation, passed by, and May... came.
