A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 87 Selection Rules and Million Dollar Sales Achievement
The next day.

Unheard of the news that Huaming's two-volume single-volume book sold 110 million copies nationwide in the first week, with an average sales volume of 55 copies in the first week.

Let the whole Nan Province light novel world boil completely.

This data in the first week almost marks that the final volume of the novel will sell more than one million copies.

The major media, book reviewers, and forum homepage websites all went to Unheard Hua to name this novel, and started to brag about it.

[Nan province light novel world rare genius in ten years!Yuanqing, a talented girl who has been surprising readers since her debut. 】

[Unheard Huaming's sales data is still booming with zero publicity outside the province. The charm of "Lin Yi", even without publicity, can still capture the hearts of all book fans who see her. 】

[A novel, with an average sales volume of over one million copies, has always been an important symbol of the achievements and status of Longguo light novelists.But because there are only three bookstores with sales channels in seventeen provinces across the country, there are four bookstores with sales channels in more than eight provinces in Longguo. The enterprises in the region have attracted most of the top novelists in Long Country to join.Therefore, in the past 40 years, 90.00% of the novels with an average sales volume of more than one million volumes of novels came from the seven major publishing houses of Longguo.Today, we may hope to see a miracle that a talented newcomer, Yuan Qing, whose novels have never been known, was born in Hongfeng Literature in Nan Province, but can reach this sales target. 】

[Perhaps in just one month, we will be able to witness the birth of a local novel in the southern province with an average sales volume of more than one million copies. 】

[Unheard of Huaming, a phenomenon-level light novel in the Southern Province, it is hard to believe that such a work was written by a high school girl, and she will represent the Southern Province to participate in the selection of novels for "New God's Climb" in the spring of next year Perhaps "Yuanqing" will become an iconic figure in the light novel circle in our southern province in the near future. 】

[The Light of Light Novels in Southern Province! "Yuanqing!"]

For several days in a row, the novel websites, forums, and readers in Nanxing almost praised "Yuanqing" and "Unheard Flower Name" to the sky.

In the novel industry, performance means everything.

Even today, Xia Yan clicked on the news station of Southern Province TV.

At a glance, I saw that the Nansheng TV news station was broadcasting the content of the recent popular novel "Unheard Flower Name" in Nansheng.

[A story praising friendship, love, hard work, and struggle, a tear-jerking novel about redemption and salvation, a high school student novel creator's inner delicate world is unknown, this is a novel that has exploded in southern province recently Native light novels. 】

Originally, Xia Yan was drinking water and watching the TV station blindly watching his works with great interest.

But after seeing the picture of the bald-headed middle-aged headmaster being interviewed by the reporter of Nansheng No. [-] Middle School, Xia Yan spit out a mouthful of water and couldn't hold back anymore.

With a bald head, he talks eloquently and confidently in front of the camera.

[Facts have proved that our school can not only cultivate top students who are admitted to the imperial capital and Shanghai University, but also excellent students who have made great achievements in the fields of novels and art. This is our school's response to the official call of the Dragon Kingdom. One-point, multi-faceted, and diversified education to improve students' quality education.Another great teaching achievement that can only be shown by cultivating and guiding students]

"You really can brag!" For the first time, Xia Yan was shocked by his principal's thick skin.

Obviously he didn't even know who "Yuan Qing" was.

But it can be said with such certainty that "Yuanqing" is an elite student trained by the school's teachers.

What the news station wants to broadcast is the affairs of all walks of life. It is impossible to report a large amount of space on a novel. After 2 minutes, the screen switches to another news.

But this is enough to show the popularity of Unheard Huaming in Nan Province.

"55 volumes in the first week?" Xia Yan recalled this data, and still felt a little dreamy.

Suddenly becoming a popular light novel writer in the Southern Province, Xia Yan is actually a little bit stressed besides being happy.

Because I have the burden of being an idol!
Dozens of millions of book fans in Longguo may be paying attention to him, Xia Yan, what novels to write next, what content to create, will not be as casual as the previous rookie period.

Xia Yan took a sip of coffee, thought for a while without thinking too much, and began to write quickly.

After all, he will write Chapter 1 of "To the Moon" within November.

Then at the beginning of December, he had to submit a manuscript to the Imperial Capital area through Red Maple Literature.

The "New God's Climb to Rank" activity is selected in the form of serials in periodicals.

Seventeen regions, a total of 51 entries, 51 works, all bound in a novel for sale and serialization.

Therefore, the sponsor has strict requirements on the number of words in each chapter of the novel. The number of words in each chapter cannot exceed 1.5w words, and the total number of words in each issue of the 51 novels will be within 75 words.

This journal is not a profit-making journal, so the printing and layout are mainly practical, not the pursuit of beauty. Journals are originally bound on large paper, and the layout of novel articles will be as dense as possible without affecting reading. dense.

But even so. A periodical of 70 million words will still be a large volume.

If there is no limit to the number of words in each chapter of the novel, then this book will be like a brick.

And the serialization of this periodical is not a three-day periodical like Red Maple, or a weekly periodical of other regular periodicals
It's the ten-day issue.

After all, this journal must be delivered to all regions of the Dragon Kingdom through the offline channels of the organizer "Joint Committee of the Seven Publishing Clubs of the Dragon Kingdom", and people will not work too hard for a non-profit journal.

Therefore, one issue is issued every ten days, and the total issue number of the journal has also been determined.
That's ten issues.

So the competition rules are very certain.

Each contestant shall create a short story with a minimum number of words, but no more than 15 words. In ten issues, a total of three and a half months of serialization time
See whose work attracts the most readers, approval rate, and highest rating.
Let's compete to see who is the highest-ranked existence in the selection of "New Gods".

And this direct test for Xia Yan is that he has to take the essence of the game plot of "Go to the Moon" and discard the dross to adapt it into a 10,000+ character novel, divide the novel into chapters, set up foreshadowing, and tell the story clearly.

Of course, what is in-game content that isn't useful for a novel adaptation?

Of course, those irrelevant rpg battles in the game where you meet squirrels in the wild, or those boring puzzle-solving links, either change or delete.

In fact, it is not easy.

But fortunately, unlike the original serialization of "Unheard of Huaming", Xia Yan is not nervous at all when there is a serialization meeting review mark and the pressure to cut in half after serialization.

From his point of view, he still has confidence in this work.

If unheard flower names can be popular in Longguo, then going to the moon will naturally be possible.

On the other side. Song Lingyun's home.
She was under a lot of stress during this time.

The unnamed pamphlet results really stimulated her.

The sales performance of Unknown Huaming in the province and outside the province is very good.

But her Xinghai, after the release of the single volume of the novel, the sales volume in the first week in the southern province averaged 14 copies, and the sales volume in the first week outside the province averaged [-] copies
Although judging from this situation, there is no problem with the final sales volume of her Xinghai single volume reaching 50 copies per volume.
But the gap between Unknown Huaming's estimated average volume of 150 million is too big.

What she has been dreaming about in the past few nights is about the new novel.

After losing to Xia Yan twice in a row, she is not as blindly confident as before.

Xia Yan is still her goal, but there will never be any arrogant idea that as long as she "works hard" and "seriously" can surpass Xia Yan.

Instead, she understood that if she wanted to target Xia Yan.

Maybe I have to do my best to unearth all my talent and potential in novel creation, maybe, I will have a chance to defeat him.

This time, the selection of "New God's Climb".
In Song Lingyun's mind, when he helped Xia Yan compose the music before, the face with lingering rhyme, confidence, and no pressure appeared on his face
Although the competitive spirit in his heart when facing Xia Yan has not diminished, in fact, his confidence
Not as high as the previous two times.

Or
Even if I still can't beat him this time. But
"Xia Yan, this time he is on the stage of the national journal "New God Ranking". Will he lose to other provinces, such as the imperial capital and the magic capital, who have a huge number of fans in the whole Dragon Kingdom? Light novel new writers? ? For example, at the comic show, the Kang Ning we met before?"

Thinking of this, Song Lingyun was a little annoyed.

It's okay for her to win Xia Yan, but she doesn't want to see Xia Yan lose to someone other than herself.

"Don't think about it so much. You have to hurry up to conceive the plot, outline, and write a new novel." Song Lingyun let out a long breath.

At one point, she felt miraculous.

The more she is under the tremendous pressure Xia Yan puts on her, the more she feels that her creative desire and potential are being stimulated.
During this period of time, I obviously felt that many interesting ideas appeared in my mind about the conception and setting of the new novel.

November [-]
One day before the release of the unheard flower list book, it will be a full month
The sales volume of the unheard of flower names in Longguo has officially exceeded one million copies per volume.

This news went viral among people in the novel circles, forums, and Yuanqing's fan group in Quannan province that day.

And in the entire Longguo light novel industry
This news also attracts many people's attention.

In this "New God's Ranking" selection activity.

Among the 51 contestants in total, six contestants are contestants from the Modu area and the Imperial capital area.

Although the oldest of these six people is 19 years old and the youngest is 17 years old, there are six people.
In the past writing history, the single volumes of their respective best works have all sold, and all of them have reached the achievement of million copies.

These six people were also the only ones among the 51 newcomer light novelists who had sold more than one million volumes per volume before this day.

But today, among the participants, the six who achieved this achievement became seven.

And "Yuanqing", she is also the only novelist in the "Achievement Group with Average Volume Sales of One Million Volumes" who has not cooperated with one of the "Seven Book Clubs of the Dragon Kingdom".

It is actually not too difficult for the past novels of these six people to reach an average sales volume of one million volumes. After all, as long as their novels sell five to five copies in each of the [-] provinces through the distribution channels of the Longguo "Top Publishing House" that they cooperate with. With an average volume sales of [-] volumes, the total volume average sales volume will break one million.

But "Yuanqing".
Off the charts.

What the hell is the book club "Red Maple Literature" she cooperates with?

Fans of novels in Shanghai, the Imperial Capital, and many other provinces who pay attention to the "New God's Ascension" activities have never heard of the company Red Maple Literature.

How did her "Unheard of Flower Names" sell over one million copies per volume?
Relying on the contribution of fans of local novels in Southern Province?
Or rely on fans from other provinces to promote it?

Many people are curious.

this day.
When the official website of the "New God's Climb" novel event updated the career history of "Yuan Qing" novelist.

That night, the name "Yuanqing" aroused quite a heated discussion among the fans of Longguo's novels.

A newcomer novelist in a non-imperial city, the magic city, can write a novel with an average sales volume of more than one million volumes
This is really, I don't know how many years I haven't heard such an example.

And this person, who has just debuted for a year, is still a rookie high school student novelist?
interesting.

I don't know what will happen if this kind of wild talented newcomer novelist competes on the same stage with the top talented newcomer novelist trained by the big company in the capital city.
