A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

In the following weeks, the entire Two-dimensional industry was completely filled with news about Xia Yan's two new comics.

The main reason why Naruto and One Piece comics are so popular in parallel worlds, and they basically fight against Death in the sea of ​​death in the three major migrant comics, is that the opening plots of Naruto and One Piece are much better than Death. .

The early plot of Bleach is just one or two episodes long, and the routine is basically to do harm to others. The protagonist draws his sword to help, but gets into a hard fight, and suddenly explodes in the middle to end the battle. This kind of plot lasts for dozens of episodes in the early stage. It is not until the protagonist enters Soul Society that the world view can be said to be slightly expanded.

The early pacing of the two Naruto and One Piece comics is much better.

After Naruto appeared in the first episode of Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto were immediately followed by the genin test. After the genin test, there was the story of Zabuza and Haku in the Land of Waves, and then the chunin exam, Jiraiya and Naruto met, Orochimaru failed to invade Konoha, Naruto, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru fought in a scuffle, and finally Sasuke defected.

There are hundreds of chapters of the comic plot, and there is almost no peeing throughout the whole process. As long as the reader has the energy, the plot will be very coherent from the first chapter to nearly two hundred chapters.

Let’s talk about Shippuden later. The quality and excitement have obviously declined too much. In the parallel world, it is said that the style change was caused by the change of the first-generation editor in charge of the author Oda. It is obvious that the style of shonen manga has changed to that of young adult manga.

The story of Pirates is basically an island-by-island adventure story, but the story of Luffy and his friends is basically a tear-jerking story every few chapters.

So after a few weeks, when the plot of Naruto progressed to the end of Kakashi's genin examination and Zoro made his debut in One Piece, everyone in the entire comic industry began to examine these two comics based on the world view of the work.

"The setting of Naruto feels like he is a person with super powers, just called a ninja. But the setting of these abilities in this comic is quite interesting, that is. Does the protagonist Naruto have to rely on Kyuubi for help every time he encounters danger? ?”

"The setting of this Nine-Tails is a bit like the genre of carrying an old man with you in novels, but it is not exactly the same. At least this Nine-Tails has a hostile relationship with the protagonist, and the relationship is not so big."

"Actually, I think the devil fruit setting of Pirates is more powerful! Rubber fruit, this idea is really interesting."

"But why should we give the protagonist something as ordinary as a rubber fruit? As the protagonist, can Luffy become the Pirate King by relying on rubber?"

"If there are rubber fruits, will there be iron fruits or copper fruits?"

"Go through the entire periodic table of elements, right? Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, all in one wave."

"There are more than 100 elements in the periodic table of elements, plus compounds, there are hundreds of them, right? Looking at it this way, One Piece's Devil Fruit system is highly developable."

"But in such a huge development system, giving the protagonist a rubber fruit is too childish, right?"

"Maybe we can eat other fruits later? It doesn't say we can only eat rubber fruits!"

"?"

"Is there such an operation?"

"But don't pay too much attention to the power system of Naruto and Pirates! Pay more attention to the characterization of these two comics! Don't you think that the characterization of these two comics is top-notch? I have just updated a few chapters, There are a lot of interesting characters appearing.”

"Come on, everyone has been bragging about the character strength of the main villain's works for so many years, and I am too lazy to brag about it. Everyone knows that he is very strong in this aspect, so I won't overemphasize it."

For several consecutive weeks, both One Piece and Naruto works have been highly praised in the market.

Even today, many people in the industry look at Xia Yan with a critical eye, but they really can't find problems in the two comics "Sea of ​​Fire".

Although Naruto and Pirates each had problems in the later plots of hundreds of chapters, not only the concept of ordinary people working hard to realize their dreams that they had been promoting turned into a model of the prince's blood supremacy, but also the combat power and setting plots began to collapse. Bad, but at least in the early stages of the plot, there is no choice between the two works.

Xia Yan's company has been collecting the market response to the two works and summarizing them. During this period, Xia Yan basically read the relevant reports every day, and it was not until the end of November that his hanging heart dropped.

Confidence is confidence, but the possibility of Naruto Pirates being acclimatized in the Dragon Kingdom is not zero. After a month of observation, Xia Yan completely ruled out this possibility. He has integrated well and entered the fan status very quickly.

The two comics have only been serialized for three or four chapters, and there are various discussions on the Internet about the comic's combat power level, whether Naruto can clone hundreds of clones, and whether the third generation of fire can clone tens of thousands of clones.

On the pirate side, the debate over whether it was unscientific for Sauron to survive being tied to a cross stake for a month without food or water during his first appearance also lasted for two weeks.

The fans' focus was strange, but Xia Yan didn't care. These were all good things.

It is foreseeable that in a while, there will be related discussions about Ax King Monka who killed Garp with an ax instantly, threatening to kill Johnny the Hawkeye Sword God, Sword Master Joseph who is the strongest in the pirate world, etc. Famous memes will also appear one after another.

Now it's just pirates brewing.

Xia Yan put down the report in his hand and stretched out on the chair.

He looked at the clouds outside the window.
"It's already December!" Xia Yan sighed.

A year goes by so fast, much faster than before.

In another half month, snow will fall in the Magic City area, and Xia Yan will become a step older, crossing the 25-year-old mark.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan was still a little sentimental.

Ever since I got the memory fragments of the girl from another world at the age of 16, until today, the contents are far from exhausted.

It can be said that Xia Yan knows that girl best besides himself in this world.

In just nine years, Xia Yan could not help but sigh with emotion as he went from being a nobody to being famous all over the Dragon Kingdom and even the whole world.

But what followed was a little loneliness.

After all, he has reached the pinnacle of the industry. No matter how tough-talking the industry is, Xia Yan's status as the No. 1 in the history of the two-dimensional industry is unconditionally acknowledged.

As soon as his animations and TV series were aired, they were by default the most watched works of the quarter. Other works in the same period basically did not regard Xia Yan's works as competitors. Everyone was striving to compete for the No. 2 spot of the quarter.

From an outsider's point of view, this seems a bit invincible, but from Xia Yan's point of view, this makes him feel a bit bored.

"So is this what invincible loneliness means?" Xia Yan smiled.

Suddenly I was embarrassed by the thought of my own shit.

But joking is a joke, Xia Yan actually knows very well that after Pirates and Naruto were brought out, he has basically reached the top in this industry.

Maybe in a few years or even more than ten years, he will come up with works such as Dragon Group, but in recent years, he will not make any big moves in the field of comics.

Nowadays, three works of colleagues in the company's film and television adaptation business are being relaunched. The global sales of the Pokémon game released two months ago are gratifying. Although it will not be the hegemonic game of the year, Pokémon is still Pokémon after all, even if it is The first-generation game in the Dragon Kingdom plane has no problem ranking in the top ten in the world in total sales this year due to its interesting gameplay core.

In terms of animation, TV animation is still the same. Slam Dunk continues to be popular and is about to air its national chapter. Hunter animation has also started airing, driving a wave of single book sales.

As for animated movies
This year's Spring Festival, Howl's Moving Castle will be released as the only animated film during the Spring Festival.

Xia Yan's huge popularity in the three major fields of animation, comics, and novels will radiate to Xia Yan's film field. Employees in the entire Dragon Kingdom entertainment industry are also paying attention to the relevant information.

Because of Xia Yan's popularity, the entire film industry, with the Spring Festival still a month or two away, has already predicted that this animated film will be among the top two in the Spring Festival box office rankings.

Counting over the whole year, Xia Yan's company's total revenue from animation, novels, movies, comics, TV series, games, and peripheral fields was close to 20 billion yuan.

And if it achieves success in the film field and expands overseas markets in the next few years, it is highly likely that Xia Yan's company's revenue will double.What's more, there are also IPs for Pokémon Doraemon, Sea of ​​Fire and other works that are being hatched.

From a purely career perspective, Xia Yan no longer has any goals.

And now that after getting married, Xia Yan also had to consider the idea of ​​having a child with Tang Yin.

Xia Yan rubbed his temples and sorted out the thoughts in his mind little by little.

In a blink of an eye, December has passed and New Year’s Day is here.

The Magic City was now covered in silver and completely white.

On the street, small traders and vendors also came out one after another.

"Oh oh oh, Xia Yan, look at that food, it looks delicious." Xia Yan and his wife Tang Yin also took a break from their busy work and came to the commercial street in the center of the magic city to join in the fun with the people.

Of course, in addition to the two couples, their friends Song Lingjun and Mo Ran were also there.

The two of them were still living in Xia Yan's previous villa. The two single women had gone from being high school students' rivals to being best friends who talk about everything now. Their status transition was very smooth.After Xia Yan and Tang Yin got married, Song Lingjun deliberately suppressed his feelings for Xia Yan and focused on his career development.

Nowadays, she has a vague trend of becoming one of the top three in the light novel industry in Dragon Kingdom.

Xia Yan also had to sigh with emotion about this
After nine years, Song Lingjun has grown very rapidly.

If Xia Yan closes the book, it will probably take less than two years for Song Lingjun to be No. 1 in the Long Kingdom light novel industry.

This is the protagonist of the era, the son of the true plane.

Xia Yan held Tang Yin's hand and looked away from the promotional poster for Song Lingjun's new novel on the commercial street, thinking this in her heart.

"What's wrong? Are you stressed?" Tang Yin looked into Xia Yan's eyes and laughed softly.

"What's the pressure? It's nothing." Xia Yan also smiled slightly.

"After all, Sword Art Online is in the final stage now, and your popularity has dropped a lot. In the internal voting of Liuli Book Club, in the past two months, the No. 1 pick was once surpassed by Xiaoyun's new work." Tang Yin said.

"Don't underestimate Xiao Yun, she is also a genius light novel writer that I first spotted."

"Listening to your tone, you seem to want me to lose to her!" Xia Yan was amused.

"You're turning your elbows outward!"

"That's for sure. You've beaten Xiaoyun for nine years, so what if you let her win once?" Tang Yin rolled her eyes at Xia Yan.

"So when her new work was published last month, wasn't that work ranked at the top of the journal?"

"That definitely doesn't count for Xiaoyun. What Xiaoyun wants to surpass must be your works at your peak. Sword has reached its final stage, its popularity has declined, and it only briefly won the first place with the support of book club activities. "One, Xiao Yun definitely didn't count. In fact, you also understand very well why Xiao Yun started a new novel series last month." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan with meaningful eyes.

"I know that she is eyeing my new novel "Fate Zero" at the end of the month, and she wants to rely on her to brag about the new novel to confront FZ head-on." Xia Yan smiled bitterly.

"Ugh"

"Why are you sighing?" Tang Yin asked.

"I was just thinking that this time, Song Lingyun will be disappointed again. It would be better if I took out other light novels, fz." Xia Yan paused.

"With Song Lingjun's current level, if he wants to compete with fz, he is still a little behind."

The conversation between Tang Yin and Xia Yan lasted too long, and Mo Ran and Song Lingjun, who were wearing masks and eating snacks secretly, came over.

"It's New Year's Day, so don't show off your affection and whisper. Food, drink, and fun are the most important thing. Don't waste time." Mo Ran quickly acted as a light bulb and came to the two of them.

Xia Yan and Mo Ran shut up knowingly.

Both of them took a deep look at Song Lingjun, which made her feel a little strange.

But she didn't think much about it. Even though it was New Year's Day, Song Lingjun's mind was filled with ideas for her new novel while eating candied haws.

After suppressing her feelings for Xia Yan, she devoted herself to work, and her eyes returned to the sharp and serious look they had in high school.

When he looked at Xia Yan, he was completely serious.

"Here you a bunch." Song Lingjun handed a bunch of candied haws to Xia Yan.

"Thank you." Xia Yan was not polite. After taking it, he looked at the people walking around, moved the mask up slightly to expose his mouth, and started eating.

Although he was a celebrity, Xia Yan didn't think he would be recognized so easily.

"It's the end of the month." Song Lingjun also spoke while eating.

"Huh? What did you say?" Xia Yan looked at her.

"I'm saying that my new work is definitely not at the current level." Song Lingjun said confidently.

"It just starts a little slow, but then it will definitely not lose to your new novel."

"This" Xia Yan wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he finally replied.

"come on."

If Song Lingjun can really write a light novel that surpasses FZ, then Xia Yan will definitely be very happy.

This shows that the level of the Dragon Kingdom has reached such a high level in the past few years.

After all, as a native of the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yan can only feel gratified that the Dragon Kingdom has produced works that can compete with top works from other worlds.

"Also, thank you and Tang Yin for inviting me to participate in the New Year's Day Festival with you. I am very happy." Song Lingjun said in a tone.

"Then if you don't feel uncomfortable, just come back together next year." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Tang Yin and I just got married. Our friendship with you has not been severed. We go out to play together. What's the point!"

The university came to a halt, and on the street, Xia Yan and his party of four had smiles on their faces.

But paper could not contain the fire. When a passerby finally noticed and guessed the identities of Xia Yan, Song Lingjun, and Mo Ran, Xia Yan hurriedly told the three of them to run away.

Otherwise, I would be surrounded by fans, and I would never be able to break out of the siege without the help of the police today.

In a certain coffee shop, four people who were tired from running had smiles on their faces and were talking relaxedly about the dangerous scene just now.

At the end of January, the Fate Zero series of novels was published on Liuli Publishing House.

This marks the birth of the Fate series of novels in Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, the redundancy of the plot in Fate Zero's early novels made fans complain for two weeks.

In the novel plot of the third week, Artoria was described in the text. After the King of Knights was summoned, a hand-painted color picture of Artoria on the novel folder was attached.
Xia Yan's fans knew at this moment that Xia Yan's new work was stable.

In early February, during the Lunar New Year, Howl's Moving Castle was released.
On the day of release, the total box office was 3000 million yuan, ranking No. 1000 on the Spring Festival box office list with a slight gap of less than 2 million.

During the Chinese New Year in early February, everyone in the film industry was in danger due to Xia Yan's works.

Everyone is afraid that a cartoon will take the box office title at the Dragon Kingdom Film Market during the seven-day annual holiday.

This is really a bit embarrassing for the physical film industry.

There are constant small moves behind the scenes by various interested parties, but they are of little significance.

Xia Yan himself was the great capital of Longguo, and no one could suppress him with capital.

After all, the film industry is the entertainment industry with the most famous actors and the greatest influence in Dragon Kingdom!
I was really suppressed by an animation guy
Really humiliating.

Although Xia Yan did not do much personal promotion, in fact, with Xia Tang Company now operating independently, Xia Yan's works have been very maturely commercialized.

The new year..is coming.

At this moment, in the Longguo Two-dimensional Market, everyone has discovered that there are various topics about Xia Yan everywhere.
