A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Liuli Bookstore is the weakest among the three bookstores with complete sales channels covering the entire Dragon Kingdom, but has the best competitive environment.

This can be seen from the selection order of novels about the new gods.

Jiang Jing is Liuli's novel writer, but her results are the best among the light novel writers sent by these three book companies.

Even Jiang Jing couldn't explain clearly, but Xia Yan could see what she meant from her words.

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝔱𝔴𝔨𝔞𝔫.𝔠𝔬𝔪]

In Qingze Library and Xingkong Novel, there are new novelists that Jiang Jing believes are stronger than Kang Ning and Chu Li.

But when they competed for the places in the Demon City and the Imperial City, those few people couldn't compete with Kang Ning and Chu Li.

Unlike Jiang Jing, from beginning to end, the book club recommended her to participate in the competition for one reason.

Her past serialized novels have done well! Can convince the public.

[That’s it, Mr. Genkiyo. That's all I know. I know that the agent you are in contact with, Meng Lin, has several light novel writers under her who have very good results, but she is a person who only values ​​results. If you join Teacher Xia Yan, you will sign a contract with her for up to two works. If your results do not meet her expectations, you may have a hard time during the ten-year contract period and be marginalized within the book club. 】

Jiang Jing could only mention it vaguely.

[Eight years ago, the seventh place winner in the New God Ranking Competition was the best-performing author outside the Magic City and Imperial City. He signed a contract with Meng Lin and has now faded out of the novel circle and switched to business. 】

[Thank you. When I come to Magic City, I will treat you to dinner first. 】

Xia Yan put down the phone.

There was a thoughtful look on his face.

Damn it, I can only say that all walks of life have risks.

Meng Lin, who came to him before, was very capable, but also extremely ruthless in her actions. If he really signs a contract with her, he might be given a cold treatment for a few years if the results of one or two novels are not satisfactory, and he will eventually fade out of the light novel world.

As for the agent "Baxuan" recommended by Jiang Jing.

She is saying that he is a nice person. Who knows the specific situation?

Xia Yan called Tang Yin, hoping that she could help him investigate this person's reputation in the industry.

In the past few days, so many people have been commenting on the serious nepotism between Xingkong Novel and Qingze Library. Xia Yan is not convinced and insists on trying whether it is his own strength or the relationship between others.

He is not sick.

Compared with the absolute strength of the platform, the novel serialization environment is more important to him.

In June, the weather is hot.

Xia Yan had no relatives in Nancheng, so he acted quickly.

It only took three days to deal with everything in this place, and then prepare to go to the magic city.

Before leaving, Xia Yan invited his friend Song Lingjun out for dinner at a restaurant.

"I'm going to the Magic City. If nothing else happens, I will choose to sign a contract with Liuli Book Club."

Xia Yan told Song Lingjun all about the situation of the three bookstores that he knew.

But he won't give her any advice. It doesn't matter whether Song Lingyun goes to the Demon City or the Imperial City to continue her light novel career.

If Xia Yan is to be the target that must be defeated, she will go wherever Xia Yan goes.

The market is the standard for testing strength.

The sales volume of single copies of novels determines everything.

"Well, it's been a pleasure getting to know you this year." Xia Yan finally said to Song Lingjun.

The girl was wearing a white dress, holding the drink straw between her teeth, looking at Xia Yan with her clear eyes.

"It's different from the unkind and high-scoring beautiful girl rumored in school. In reality, you are actually quite cute. Becoming friends with you is one of the most meaningful things in my high school career. "

Xia Yan was speaking seriously from the bottom of his heart. Although it sounded a bit strange, Xia Yan regarded the present as a parting scene.

If Song Lingjun goes to the imperial capital, or even directly goes abroad to study at university, the two of them may not have the chance to meet each other in the next few years.

But Song Lingjun's ears immediately turned red after hearing Xia Yan's words.

Although his expression remained unchanged, the hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

"I understand." Song Lingjun said with a very calm voice.

"You are applying for the Literature Department of Shanghai University of Technology, right?"

"If my scores meet the requirements, I will definitely study here." Xia Yan said in a daze.

"Understood." Song Lingjun nodded, then paused and took out a gift box from his bag.

"Sent to you."

Xia Yan took the gift box and opened it curiously to take a look.

What was inside was signed by her, "Xinghai" and "Yesterday's Her", a total of four single volumes.

She also wrote the sheet music of the two songs "To the Creek" and "Everything You Give Me" in her own hand, and also included electronic versions of the two songs played by Song Lingjun.

Finally, there is a hand-drawn drawing of the back

The picture shows a hand-drawn animation of a boy holding the hands of two girls and the three of them climbing up the stairs to the top of the mountain.

This is the scene where Xia Yan and the others climbed the temple when they were in the imperial capital. It was constructed in Song Lingjun's mind and turned into an animation picture.

"Did you draw me so handsome?" Xia Yan said with a teasing smile after seeing this picture.

"Is this how I appear to you?"

Xia Yan didn't notice that Song Lingjun's ears turned redder, and she glanced at Xia Yan.

"goodbye."

The voice was arrogant and cold, and after speaking, he picked up the bag and left directly.

After several hours of flight, Xia Yan's first time.

Arrived in the Magic City.

Xia Yan was amazed at the moment.

As if this world belonged to him.

But after thinking about it, he realized that his more than 10 million yuan should only be enough to buy three or five commercial houses here, and immediately this feeling disappeared.

Although the purchasing power of Dragon Country Currency is very strong, it is comparable to half of the US dollar in the parallel world.

But facing the housing prices in the Magic City, it still seems not so strong.

At the airport gate

was Tang Yin, who was wearing a red dress, her hair flying in the air, and light-colored sunshades.

Her skin was whiter than snow, her face was exquisite and beautiful, and her pair of black silk long legs attracted the attention of a group of men outside the airport. She looked at Xia Yan with a bright smile on her face.

"It's really fast."

"It's okay." Xia Yan responded. Although he hadn't seen her for only a month, he still felt a strong sense of nostalgia.

"Okay, you don't have a place to live in the Magic City area now, just move to my place and stay for a few days."

In the car, Tang Yin said while driving.

"The old monk in Yunyin Temple was quite accurate in fortune-telling before! He said that Song Lingjun's academic career would be bright, and that your academic career would also be bumpy, but the final result would also be bright."

"From now on, if you are really recruited by Magic City University, the old monk will have predicted everything accurately."

"So what did he predict for you?" Xia Yan was excited after hearing this.

"He said that my career would not be smooth in the early stage, and then I would meet a noble person at a critical moment," Tang Yin said with a smile on her lips after hearing this.

"But I feel that the old monk's prediction for me still has a little problem. At least my animation studio is running well now. I started looking for people in May. Now at the end of June, the animation studio has been fully established, and the project to help the game company make animations has also officially started."

"So fast?" Xia Yan was stunned.

"What else? There are dozens of employees, and the monthly salary is hundreds of thousands. I have only managed to scrape together 9 million in start-up capital. This money is used to rent equipment, venues, and manage relationships. I don't have so much time to wait." Tang Yin said.

"I mean, the animation company you just established can get a project with a certain profit margin. This is really lucky. For such a high-quality project, shouldn't they find some old-fashioned animation companies and studios to take over?" Xia Yan said.

"Of course, I have a good girlfriend in Shanghai to help me. It's because of her help to make connections that I am so successful." Tang Yin said with a smile.

"Hehe, when the time comes, as long as the first animation project is completed perfectly and a certain amount of results are achieved, the subsequent company operations will be on track. Then I will no longer be Tang Yin, a novel editor, but Tang Yin, a genius female businessman in Shanghai." Tang Yin smiled proudly.

"Is it so smooth? Open an animation company." Xia Yan scratched his head.

"If it's so simple, I want to open one too."

"Are you also interested in animation production?" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan.

"Well, some of my works are only suitable for animation. They are not suitable for adaptation into novels, and I want to seize the copyright of my works." Xia Yan nodded.

"But human power is always limited. The money you earn is enough to set up an animation studio like me. But you don't have enough energy. Making animations is a high-pressure job for employees and bosses. You often need to stay up late and work hard." Tang Yin frowned and said.

"This will greatly affect your creation of works."

"Forget it, let's wait and see. If you don't have this idea for a long time, I will introduce you to a few industry elites and let them help you. They will be your managers to help you run these businesses and set up an animation company." Tang Yin was too lazy to think so much, and said to Xia Yan with a smile.

"There is only one difficulty in this world. It's just that there is not enough money. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yourself. Just spend money to hire someone who knows to run it."

"By the way, how is your negotiation for the copyright to the moon?" Tang Yin asked.

"It's handed over to your father's "Sugar Man Films". The conditions of several competing companies are similar, but I know you better and I believe in your father's company. But your father's company's name is really strange, Sugar Man," Xia Yan said.

"My mother likes to eat sugar figurines, so he named it that year." Tang Yin smiled.

Xia Yan sold the copyright of the animated film "Go to the Moon" for a high price of two million.

Although this money is not much, Xia Yan's focus is only on the other party's attitude of making animations seriously. As long as the animation becomes popular, Xia Yan can earn more.

After chatting with Tang Yin for a while, Xia Yan clicked on the information of Jiang Jing's agent "Bai Xuan" on his mobile phone again.

This is the information Tang Yin sent to him about Bai Xuan that she collected.

It is indeed as Jiang Jing said. Although the novelists under "Bai Xuan" may not be able to achieve much success, basically no one who has come into contact with her says bad things about her.

She has achieved a relatively benign balance in squeezing the surplus value of novelists and personal reputation.

Xia Yan is a decisive person. Once he has made a decision, he will act quickly.

Anyway, he is not going to negotiate a long-term contract, so why should he be hesitant?

Since Bai Xuan has a good reputation, then... go find her.

Xia Yan looked at the manuscript of the novel "Parasyte" in the file bag in his hand, and his mood was calm.

Xia Yan's idea is very simple.

It is the end of June now, and the college entrance examination results will be released in early July. Then in September, two and a half months later, the university in Longguo will start school.

Xia Yan also wants to deal with the adaptation of the animated film "To the Moon", the release of the single volume of "To the Moon", learn to drive a car, serialize "Parasyte", and formulate the animation production plan of "Madoka Magica".

Finally, welcome the beginning of his beautiful youthful college life.
