A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 90 Illustration and Help

On the first day of the opening of the official website of the "New God Ranking" periodical, the advertising behavior of Yuanqing fans attracted many people to complain directly.

Of course, Yuanqing is the only novelist among the 51 participating writers who is not located in the capital city of Shanghai, and who can also create novels that have sold more than one million volumes per volume.

In the past few days, this news has also spread through various channels. Although many people have never seen Unheard Flower Name, they also know in their hearts that this work must have something special to achieve this kind of sales.

It's just that. That's a light novelist from the Southern Province. No matter how strong he is, it has nothing to do with us.That is the enemy, the competitor of the author of the novel I like.

"Who is Yuanqing? What kind of novel is the unheard flower name?"

"I haven't heard the name of the flower, what the hell?"

"Why are there so many advertisements for this novel?"

"Speaking of which, the contestants of the "New God's Climb to the Rank" event are all competitors. Why are Yuanqing's fans so embarrassed to advertise here?"

"Are all the readers in the Southern Province so active?"

"It's not all from the Southern Province. I'm from the Imperial Capital area, and I'm also a fan of this novel. To be honest, the novel Unheard of Huaming just doesn't have enough publicity. If there is such a large-scale publicity in the entire Dragon Kingdom , this novel must be the most popular work in Long Kingdom this year."

"Come on, I also said that if Qingze Library is willing to give me resources, then the kindergarten diary I wrote when I was three years old can also sell a million copies. What kind of work is it? How can it not be famous?"

"That's right, I know you "Yuanqing" fans like her works, but taste is subjective. You think a novel that is only popular in provincial areas is a masterpiece in your mind, that doesn't matter, but in It's a bit too arrogant to promote Yuanqing's past novels on the official website of the New God's Climbing Event. Among the 51 participating authors, who doesn't have one or two good novels?"

"Anyway, if you brag about yourself, I won't read it. There are so many novels in the Dragon Kingdom, and I can't finish reading the excellent novels in the capital city, the novels in Nan Province? Forget it, I don't have so much pocket money and time. "

"I recommend an unpopular masterpiece to you with such enthusiasm, but you actually make sarcastic remarks like this? You will regret it."

"Stop bragging, an unpopular masterpiece? This word is a paradox. I don't believe that an unpopular masterpiece will be unpopular."

"Anyway, I will buy the novel periodical of "New God's Climb" and read it. Then I will first look at the quality of the novel called "Go to the Moon". If it is really interesting, maybe I will read that novel." Unknown flower name."

"Forget it, brothers, there is no need to promote it with them. The booklets of novels cost money to buy. Many people are actually obsessed with the works of popular writers in the capital of Shanghai. Apart from this, they will not spend money to buy novels written by other novelists. .Now they don’t like it, you can watch it after the "Unheard Flower Name" animation airs in January. When they want to buy it, they may not be able to buy the booklet."

"Are you saying that, you can't buy it yet? It's as if this novel will become popular after it is animated."

After the official website was launched, the forum became lively.

Readers of Longguo's novels are still very interested in the competition for newcomers such as "The New God's Climb".

However, there is still one month before the release of the "New God's Ranking" novel periodical. Although the name and author information of the participating novels have been officially announced, none of the works have been published. Fans want to argue about the works, and there is no root cause for discussion After a few days, everyone calmed down.

Ends early December.
The time has entered mid-December.

Xia Yan and Song Lingyun came to Tang Yin's house again. The reason why Tang Yin called them home was very simple.

As a novel serialized by Xinshen Dengjie, each work can choose a chapter to be serialized in a certain issue, and an illustration leaf will be attached.

This is the same as when "Unheard Flower Name" was serialized in the Red Maple Journal, the Red Maple Literature Society helped this work to produce journal cover art, posters, and some illustrations.

Xinshen Dengjie is a novel periodical that serializes more than [-] works. It must not be done like this, otherwise the number of pages will be too many.

But it has to be done, and readers also have needs in this regard.

Therefore, Xinshen Dengjie officially allows each work to design a poster and an illustration page for their own work, and then the author chooses which issue and page of the article to present these things to the readers of his novel.

As soon as Xia Yan heard the words, he immediately regained his energy.

Originally, he was still struggling with how to present the two most touching images in the original game to readers.

In one, a scene of Baby John and Baby Brook, seated on a tree trunk, pointing to the starry sky, where the moon paints the creatures they compose.

Only relying on the reader's imagination, the scene is still too vague, it is more intuitive to attach an illustration next to the article.

The second is the scene of the rocket ascending to the sky at the end of the plot of the work.

Since the official allows the author to choose a color illustration to be printed on a specific number of pages of a chapter serialization, and allows the author to design a poster of the work to be published with a certain issue of the journal, this is exactly what he wants.

"However. After all, this is not a work serialized by our Red Maple Literature, so you have to find the illustrator, poster design fee and so on by yourself. The bookstore will not provide this service for you." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan and Song Lingyun. two people.

"Understood." Xia Yan nodded.

This is reasonable.

"Then there are no restrictions on the design style of this illustration and poster?" Song Lingyun looked at Tang Yin and asked.

"Well, anyway, this is a small benefit that the event officials give to each contestant, and there is no requirement for it."

"Well, I understand. Then I can just draw it myself. I thought the illustrations and posters of the novels of Xinghai and Yesterday's Starlight were poorly designed, and they were quite different from the characters I imagined. This new novel "Rainbow Color" Destiny "Character design is just right for me to design myself." Song Lingyun nodded slightly.

"?" Tang Yin looked at her in astonishment.

"?" Xia Yan also had a confused expression.

"Can you still draw?" Xia Yan asked.

"I can't say that I can. It's just that if it's drawing these animations and novels Two-dimensional human design, it's not a big problem. My family asked me to learn art before, but I learned two-dimensional drawing secretly from my teacher. of."

Both Xia Yan and Tang Yin sighed inwardly.

Is that human being?
"By the way, Xia Yan, do you know any friends who are engaged in art work like illustrators?" Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan's thoughtful expression and asked suddenly.

"No."

As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, he saw Song Lingyun looking at him seriously.

He didn't react at first, but immediately...he asked hesitantly.

"You mean you can do me this favor, help my novel by the way, and also design two pictures?"

"Of course. After all, there are only two pictures, so it won't take long." Song Lingyun smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"?" Tang Yin looked at the two with strange eyes.

As far as she knew Song Lingyun, this guy was definitely not a warm-hearted person.Why would you waste your time helping Xia Yan with this kind of work?
Xia Yan also felt that Song Lingyun was a little warmer towards him.

"Last time, I was very happy to collaborate with you on the song "All You Give Me". You let me name a creator of that song. Then this time, I will help you draw illustrations and posters, just be me I will compensate you appropriately." Song Lingyun explained a little after seeing the eyes of the two.

Of course, there was another important reason she didn't say.

Since her and Xia Yan's novel was finished, the three-person meeting twice a week basically disappeared.

To be honest, she is used to the time spent at Tang Yin's house discussing novels with her and playing games with Xia Yan.Now seven days a week, she stays at home to study every day, but she feels bored instead.

Tang Yin's home is like a secret base for her. She hides the biggest secret, and both Xia Yan and Tang Yin know it.So it will be easy to stay here.To help Xia Yan draw pictures, the office must also be at Tang Yin's house.

Instead of her helping Xia Yan, it's better for her to find a reason not to go home and come here to relax.
