A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

In May, after the first few episodes of Pokémon, the popularity and ratings have been steadily increasing, and the discussion among children has gradually increased.

But among the adult fans, the popularity is average, and there is not a small gap with the ratings of Sword and Slam Dunk.

There are many voices in the market criticizing that the myth created by Xia Yan is about to end. Xia Yan's works starting from Pokémon will return to mediocrity, and the popularity boom like Lelouch and Steel will not be repeated.

These remarks basically appear every year, and Xia Yan's fans basically take it as a joke.

And his fans can basically see that Xia Yan's ip work with a huge investment is mainly focused on the primary and middle school students.

As for Xia Yan, he also has psychological expectations for the current development of Pokémon.

It's not that Pokémon doesn't have adult fans, but often the adult fans of this kind of work are actually cultivated from childhood.

This is like the fact that although Ultraman is very popular in the parallel world, there are very few fans who enter the pit after adulthood. All adult fans of Ultraman have been fans since they were young.

If you want to develop Pokémon IP, you must not stop investing hundreds of millions of dollars a year. After five or six years of continuous development, you may have a good feedback.

As for Pokémon's current animation ratings, Xia Yan doesn't particularly care about it, and even increased cooperation with domestic peripheral manufacturers in Longguo in May to develop Pokémon's peripheral products together with the other party.

While handling the company's business, Xia Yan had to find time to prepare for the wedding with Tang Yin.

"I said Xia Yan, what do you think of the group of wedding photos taken earlier?"

In the past few days, Tang Yin has also put down her work as a foreign partner and spent all day in Xia Yan's office discussing marriage matters with him.

No matter how calm she was, she was getting married after all, and the wedding was only less than two months away, so she was still very nervous.

"Well, it's pretty good." Xia Yan looked at the photo, frowned, and said with a smile.

"It's expensive for a reason. The company your friend introduced is pretty good."

"Why do you say that every time, at least find something wrong!" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan and said.

"That guy really did a good job! At least in my opinion, the score is above 95. You can't have to ask someone to produce something that is [-]% perfect in your heart." Xia Yan looked at Tang Yin's expression, You can probably guess her inner mood at the moment.

"What's wrong? A little nervous and anxious?" Xia Yan laughed.

Tang Yin was silent for a few seconds, then said.

"One thing! I never felt that there was anything to think about about marriage before, but now the closer the date is, the more anxious I feel." Tang Yin stroked her hair with her fingers.

Xia Yan grabbed her palm and said.

"You have nothing to be nervous about. All the guests who will come will be relatives on your side. I should be nervous."

"I feel sad when you say that. You said that you are usually such a nice person, why do you have so few relatives and friends who have contact with you." Tang Yin glanced at Xia Yan and said.

"That's why a creature like me is called an otaku!" Xia Yan laughed.

"Otaku may not necessarily stay at home, but he must have abandoned all useless social interactions."

"So you have so few friends because you feel it's useless to be connected to too many people?"

"That's right." Xia Yan said directly.

"Of course, only in my case."

After Tang Yin thought about it, she still found it difficult to understand Xia Yan. After all, her family was a family with a large family, which was very different from Xia Yan. Although she also hated being urged to marry by relatives during the Chinese New Year, it was hard to imagine that she really had a relationship with relatives. A semi-broken state of no contact at all.

However, she was disturbed by Xia Yan, and her nervousness dissipated a little.

After looking at a large pile of report documents on Xia Yan's desk, she also picked them up and flipped through them, then changed the topic.

"You're getting busier now."

"No way." Xia Yan said with a wry smile.

"If I just want to keep the company's scale and influence at the current level, I only need to guarantee the serialization of one or two works in a year, but if the company wants to go further... it can only be like this."

"After all, I have no background from the very beginning, and I don't accept capital investment. If I'm still lazy, then why can I beat so many competitors from Longguo."

"Actually, one thing I've always been curious about is that, based on your consumption level, you may not be able to spend ten times your current wealth. Why are you still working so hard to make money? If I were you, I would have retired long ago. The house is flat." Tang Yin asked curiously.

Although the two have been dating for so long, Tang Yin will also give Xia Yan a certain amount of privacy. In the past, it was just a relationship, and many topics would not be asked. Now, it is a quasi-husband and wife relationship, so naturally there are not many worries.

"Hmm..." Xia Yan was asked this question.

Looking at Tang Yin's fair and pretty face and the curiosity in her eyes, Xia Yan paused and said.

"If you have a bunch of very interesting storylines in your mind, would you make them public? Or would you know them all by yourself and tell no one? In my case, I can't help it, although I know that I just stop working and rely on the present Having wealth and then retiring for the elderly is the easiest life, but with a little effort, sharing these excellent stories in my mind, bringing the same happiness to tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Two-dimensional people in Longguo, for me , should be the happiest way to live."

"Understood." Tang Yin understood as soon as she heard Xia Yan say this.

A good story that only you know, how much willpower do you need if you want to hold it in your heart for a lifetime?
"However, your fans probably didn't feel much happiness from your works. Instead, they probably felt extreme sadness." Tang Yin smiled lightly.

"At least, during the viewing process, they may abuse why the plot is like this, but after watching it, there should be no one who regrets it." Xia Yan laughed.

The two people in the office chatted about these daily topics one by one. They have all been busy with the development of the company in the past few years. The last time they had such a conversation was back when Xia Yan was in high school.
"Eight years!" Xia Yan exclaimed suddenly.

"Eight years for what?"

"I've known you for eight years," Xia Yan said after a pause.

And, it has been eight years since the memory fragments of the girl in his mind broke into his brain.

To this day, Xia Yan can still see the girl's memories of games, animations, novels and comics in her dreams every few days, and she has been the girl in Xia Yan's dreams from the beginning, graduated from college, and entered society, even if Xia Yan Yan didn't know at what point the memory in his mind would stop abruptly. He could see the real ending of the Hunter, the ending of One Piece, and the ending of the Sword Art Online novel in the girl's memory.

"I hope her memory of these works is complete, otherwise." Xia Yan's expression froze slightly.

Otherwise, it would be a pity for the work of Hunter.

For Sword Art Online, Xia Yan can still control where it ends. It is a game world and a chapter in itself, and it doesn't matter which chapter it ends in.

Only the hunter, even if Xia Yan wanted to make some minor changes, he was very cautious, and the plot after the Ant King chapter was basically in a state of annual change in the parallel world.

Although everyone ridiculed Fu Jian for being obsessed with playing mahjong and not drawing comics, in fact, a large part of the reason for him was the low back pain caused by occupational diseases, and he had to lie down to draw comics.

Nowadays, after two or three years of serialization, the hunter manga of Longguo has also entered the end plot of the chapter of the island of greed. In a few months, the longest and most divine chapter of the hunter, the ant chapter, will begin .

The length of the Ant chapter is probably enough to support Xia Yan's serialization in Longguo for two or three years.

But after the Ant Chapter, this work has been serialized intermittently in the parallel world. Xia Yan is also planning to wait until the end of the Ant Chapter. The Hunter manga will start a long-term suspension mode. As for when the serialization can be restarted after that , It depends on when the memory of the girl in Xia Yan's mind can update the hunter.

Throughout May, because there were no new works broadcast, Xia Yan was not busy with work, and most of his experience was put on preparing for the wedding.

Slam dunk, sword animation, and novels are broadcast simultaneously, and they still occupy the first or second place in the hot list of the two-dimensional industry in Longguo.

As for Xia Yan's company, the focus of work has actually begun to focus on Pokémon, and Xia Yan's previous work has been tilted from animation to live-action drama.

The three animated films that Xia Yan had previously planned to produce have been approved and are in intensive production, but the results of those films will not be seen until at least next year.

Live-action dramas are different. Longguo TV dramas are similar to animations. They are all in the mode of changing production and broadcasting. In the parallel world, Huaguo’s mode is that a TV series has produced [-] or [-] episodes and then broadcast them all at once. is rare.

In other countries in the parallel world, including the Dragon Kingdom plane, production while broadcasting is the mainstream.

And the production of these TV series is, to some extent, simpler than animation.

In Xia Yan's early works, the live-action TV dramas of Weiwen Huaming and Magic Circle have already started, and both works will be broadcast on TV stations in July this year.

In fact, after the time has entered June, everyone in the Longguo Two-dimensional circle has focused on these two works.

Sword and Slam Dunk are sure to sweep all works, but fans will be annoyed if these two works are discussed every day. Now everyone's attention is instead focused on Xia Yan's live-action adaptations.

Since June, discussions on the two live-action adaptations have become increasingly heated on the entire forum.

"Speaking of which, how many years have you heard of Huaming? Five years? Six years, maybe."

"It's been a month or two before the end of the broadcast, and it's been six years. Finally...it's a live-action adaptation."

"But the length of the original animation is not enough for a season of TV series, right?"

"Isn't there also the theatrical version and the side novels released behind the old thief's painting as supplementary content. However, when the live-action TV series is changed, the script will be deleted, edited and added to a certain extent. I heard that some supporting roles will be added. The main line remains unchanged, and I will definitely support it.”

"Finally, this day has come. The Pokémon game was released at the end of the year, and the old thief officially entered the game industry. In July, the unheard of a famous TV series, the old thief officially entered the film and television industry. I feel that the old thief has accumulated in the past eight years, and now I am preparing Once it explodes. I hope to see the old thief and these animations changed to TV series to wash away those boring idol dramas on the market."

"Don't brag. The TV drama industry is a new industry, so you still have to be cautious."

"Be careful, I haven't heard the name yet. It's hard to tell. Do you know what this means for Mo Yuan's TV series? Mo Yuan suffered from the loss of the old thief who was a poor man and had no money to produce animations for promotion, so the ratings are higher than Lelouch and Steel Refining are low, this time the live-action TV series will be changed, and the magic circle will tell everyone in the Dragon Kingdom who is the real king."

"I heard that Rubik's Circle will have a new episode added to the TV series."

"real or fake?"

"How can it be false? The animation director of Mo Yuan said it himself. Some of the old thief's supplementary plots are in the TV series. I can already see the situation where the Dragon Kingdom TV drama market will be dominated by Mo Yuan next month. You When it comes to converting animation into a TV series, many fans of the original work may not necessarily buy it, but if you say that the old thieves are adding new plots to the animation into a TV series, Haha, the Magic Circle fans like Dragon Kingdom can’t sit still.”

"TV dramas, movies, animations, novels, comics, games... There are so many industries that the old thief has dabbled in! Can he be busy?"

"Don't laugh at me to death, do you think the old thief's net worth of tens of billions is fake? This kind of thing needs him to do it himself? The animation script of the magic circle is there. Is there any content or plot that the old thief wants to add? Changing the direction, there are some of the top screenwriters in the Dragon Kingdom to assist the old thief, what are you worried about?"

"If Unheard Huaming and Moyuan's live-action TV series can be successful! In the future, it is estimated that works such as Parasitic Beast and Initial D will be adapted by real people."

"Initial D! Damn, it's been several years, and I was reminded by your words again. Indeed, if the initial D can be changed by a real person, the scene will probably be awesome."

"Don't think too brightly. Real-life adaptations have been a tragedy since ancient times. I can only hope that the original work won't be ruined too much. It's enough to maintain a passing score after it's aired."

"I believe in the old thief. After all, everyone knows his handiwork. An animation can cost hundreds of millions, and he will definitely not make crude works."

The broadcast information of the live-action TV series "Magic Circle" and "Unknown Flowers" swept the entire Two-dimensional industry in just a day or two.

Jiuxiao Forum, Xiayan Company's official website, the number of related discussions has been one after another in the past few days.

Many people in the news media criticized Xia Yan for making a fuss. They bluntly said that the live-action version of the TV series would definitely receive countless negative reviews after it was broadcast, but the comment area for related comments was basically bloodbathed by Xia Yan's fans.

Fans like them can scold Xia Yan, but others definitely can't.

Outsiders watch the excitement, but insiders are vigilant when they see a series of actions in this year's Xiatang animation.

Xia Yan has reached the pinnacle of the three traditional two-dimensional industries of animation, comics and novels.
Now he is preparing to enter the film, television and game industries.

In this case, Xia Yan has dabbled in all branches of the entertainment industry.

If someone else did it like this, everyone would just complain that it was too ambitious, but Xia Yan did it this way.
Many companies have already felt a strong sense of crisis.

After all, Xia Yan's charisma is there, and he naturally has an advantage if he wants to engage in these cross-border activities.Xia Yan's rise has been taking too long, and many people have not realized it, but until now, many people have truly realized what Xia Yan and his Xiatang animation mean in Longguo.

It has grown into such a huge company that can independently carry out this level of IP development for its works.

With money, talent, and Xia Yan's ambition as the leader, this company cannot be ignored by the industry.

But this company started only five years ago..
In June, the hot summer enters its wildest time.

It goes by, very quickly.
Time to July.
