A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

After Xia Yan's single book "To the Moon" was released, his personal assets also experienced another surge in the following months. After all, the seven major book publishing committees did not make money from the novel "To the Moon", and the share of the single book was quite high.

This also caused Xia Yan's total personal assets to exceed the 20 million mark.

To be honest, this amount of money is already considered a huge sum of money in Dragon Kingdom, and it is more than enough to set up an animation company.

However, Xia Yan also understands that it is impossible for an outsider to lead an expert. To do many things, money is the first condition, but it is by no means the only condition.

If you invest money blindly, you will most likely be deceived by others like Tang Yin.

But now that she explained Tang Yin's situation, Xia Yan immediately realized that she and Tang Yin were now complementary.

Xia Yan has funds, but no relevant knowledge about the animation industry.

Tang Yin has no money now, but her family runs an animation company. She has considerable knowledge reserves and connections, and the most important thing is that Xia Yan trusts her. This is very important. A person you can trust cannot be bought with money. of.

"Twenty million? Xia Yan, have you robbed a bank? That's so much." Tang Yin knew that Xia Yan must be rich, but she didn't really speculate on his income based on the sales of Xia Yan's works in the market.

"These are the profits from the previous three works, so it's not bad. I don't know how to invest, but after seeing your experience of being defrauded, I don't dare to invest. If you open your own company to produce your own works, you won't be deceived." Xia Yan responded

"So you are going to invest in my animation studio?" Upon hearing this, Tang Yin temporarily put away the sadness in her eyes, but instead thought about Xia Yan's motives for doing this.

"You don't think you feel sorry for me being cheated, so you spend money to make me happy, right?"

"What are you thinking? That is the 20 million I earned after working hard for a year writing a novel. Would I invest it in an animation studio that is on the verge of bankruptcy for such a boring reason?" Xia Yan looked at him with a calm expression. Tang Yin.

I worked hard for a year writing a novel and earned 20 million.

Listen, is this human talk?

Even Song Lingjun, who had no idea about money since childhood, looked strange at this time.

Even for her family, if the market goes bad, the company's total profit will only be around 20 million a year.

After seeing Xia Yan's expression, Tang Yin immediately became energetic after confirming that Xia Yan really wanted to invest in her animation studio.

The relationship between the two is good, but business is business, and she will not mix these things up.

"Why do you want to run an animation company by yourself?" Tang Yin asked you curiously.

"Because I want to keep all the copyrights of my own works." Xia Yan paused after hearing this.

There is nothing that cannot be said. If it were not for this purpose, Xia Yan could go directly to many animation production companies to cooperate, but in that case some copyrights would be confused.

"Your work..." Song Lingjun asked doubtfully from the side.

"Aren't your new works ready to be serialized on "Liu Li Book Club"? Why now?"

"It's another new work." Xia Yan said.

"It's been five months since I participated in the New God Ascension Award Ceremony in May. During this period, I actually conceived two or three works. I will submit the one that is suitable for being turned into a novel. I gave it to Liuli Publishing House. As for the other work, I think it is more suitable to be made into an animation."

After Xia Yan explained it, both Song Lingjun and Tang Yin understood Xia Yan's thoughts.

"You are really full of creative desire." Tang Yin exclaimed in amazement.

Five months to conceive two works may not sound like much, but with Xia Yan's character, the works he can produce are definitely not simple. Even if it is not as good as To the Moon, Unheard of Flowers' Names will definitely be a masterpiece.

Song Lingjun next to her was silent. She was still thinking about where to start her new work in order to have a chance to defeat Xia Yan.

However, Xia Yan actually produced two works in such a short time.

"Well, Xia Yan, what you mean is that you buy a stake in my animation studio and then let me be your employee?" Tang Yin asked after thinking for a moment.

"I'm just buying shares, not making an acquisition." Xia Yan said.

Xia Yan also knew that Tang Yin's main purpose in setting up an animation studio was to be fed up with her part-time job and want to be her own boss. Although she was deceived before she started, she would definitely not be willing to go there given her character. My friend, who is a few years younger than her, works as an employee.

If he wants Tang Yin to run this animation studio with him, he can only do it as a partner with her

"If you are interested, we can estimate the potential value of your animation studio's instruments, equipment, funds, and personnel structure as your investment amount. Then, we can estimate the potential value of the animation studio's "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" based on the work I am preparing to animate. I will pay the full amount for the production cost, and then divide the equity ratio." Xia Yan said.

Tang Yin was really moved by Xia Yan's words now.

The money being defrauded is already a fact, and there is no point in dwelling on it.

But now that there is a possibility of continuing the animation studio that she has been busy with for more than half a year, she really has no reason to refuse.

"That." Song Lingjun said at this time.

"It seems that what you two are discussing now is a confidential topic between you. I feel that I am not suitable to listen to it. Otherwise, I will leave first."

"That's okay." Xia Yan said.

"We are all so familiar with each other. Besides, this is not a secret..."

After Xia Yan opened the topic, Tang Yin and Song Lingjun fell silent in the living room of her house.

"That. Xia Yan, what I want to say is that you are a novelist. Your works may be interesting when serialized into novels, but animation scripts are still different from novels. I am very grateful that you are willing to help me in this period of time, but. Your behavior may cause you huge losses.♦♦  ♦♦" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan and said softly.

"If there is a loss, it is also my problem."

Hearing Xia Yan's words, Tang Yin immediately made a decision in her heart.

"In that case, Xia Yan, I will go to the studio today to discuss with my group of employees. If they are willing, this matter will be handled according to your proposal."

After leaving Tang Yin's house, Xia Yan first prepared to send Song Lingjun back to her residence near the school.

Because of work reasons, he, Song Lingjun, and Tang Yin each have their own residence in the Magic City, and the distance is actually not far apart.

Today's proposal was just a temporary idea, but since this was opened, many things need to be prepared.

"Song Lingjun, that" Xia Yan thought for a while and then took the initiative to speak to Song Lingjun who was sitting in the back seat of the taxi with him.

"What's wrong?" Song Lingjun leaned on the car window with the back of her hand, holding her white cheek and thinking about some questions.

"I want to ask you if you have time recently?" Xia Yan said a little embarrassedly.

"Do you need my help with something?" Song Lingjun paused and asked after seeing Xia Yan's expression.

After all, in high school, Xia Yan showed this expression and asked her for help many times.

"You saw it." Xia Yan smiled.

"Yes, I want to ask you if you have time to teach me about music and painting knowledge."

It is impossible for Xia Yan to come to Song Lingjun to help him restore the music score of the original excellent songs every time an excellent work appears. Moreover, if "Magical Girl Madoka Magica" is to be animated, then he, the screenwriter and the first creator of this work, must consider more than just the plot of the work.

[ ]

The more he knows about character setting, painting style, and storyboards, the better the effect of this work will be presented in this world.

Xia Yan doesn't need to be proficient, just need to have a general understanding of some basic knowledge, and then he can use this knowledge to accurately express his ideas to the staff.

Otherwise, Xia Yan doesn't know anything and will make a big joke by randomly conveying his ideas.

Maybe the staff will feel like a programmer who meets an amateur client, and can't even make clear the requirements.

Song Lingjun knows music and painting, and more importantly, she and Xia Yan are classmates. Xia Yan can use the fragmented time after class to ask her for these knowledge. Even if it can't be learned quickly, it will add up to a lot.

"I'm sorry"

But this time, after understanding what Xia Yan meant, Song Lingjun shook her head and looked at Xia Yan with her pupils.

"I haven't finished the idea of ​​my new work yet. I have to focus all my energy on it now, otherwise I will be pulled further and further away by you."

"I don't want me to be so unknown when you are famous in Longguo in a few years."

Xia Yan was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Song Lingjun's pupils staring at her, which was nothing but seriousness.

Even though Xia Yan did not sign a long-term contract with Liuli Bookstore, his new novel can still be serialized in the journal "Liuli Se".

He is also ambitiously preparing to be his own boss and produce animation for another new work.

His previous works, Anohana, have been animated, and the production of the animated film "Going to the Moon" has been officially announced by the Dragon Kingdom and will be released next year.

As for Song Lingjun, apart from watching herself being pulled farther and farther away by Xia Yan, there is no sign of surpassing Xia Yan for the time being.

Her coldness and calmness are just appearances, but she is very anxious in her heart.

Even if she is really willing to help Xia Yan, she no longer has the spare time and energy to do so.

From various perspectives, she is a rare genius writer in the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry.

But only Song Lingjun, who has been catching up with Xia Yan's pace all the way, can deeply understand that he is the kind of person who makes the industry genius feel desperate, and even above him.

"I took it for granted. Sorry, I didn't consider that you have a lot of things to deal with." Xia Yan said with an apologetic look on his face.

"But Xia Yan, if you want to learn these things, there are actually many people who can teach you. There are many talented people in Magic City University. Even if you don't know them, there are still many channels to get to know them." Song Lingjun said.

"For example, various types of clubs in the school."

"Novel Club, Literature Club, Piano Club, Light Music Club, Painting Club." Song Lingjun said.

"There are some very powerful people in these clubs. For example, there are several people in the piano club who only lost to me by a small score in the high school piano competition. They are very strong. If you really go to the society to find some art students who graduated from fake schools to teach you, I'm afraid they are not as good as the students in Magic City University, and it's troublesome."

Club?

Painting, music, study

Xia Yan blinked

It seems that there is something to remember, but the feeling of being about to come out is always separated by a layer of paper. Xia Yan never thought of this key information.

What was the message he was about to reveal when he talked to Song Lingjun tonight?

Xia Yan knew it the next day.

October 11, Tuesday

When Xia Yan had just finished a class in the afternoon and was about to go home to write a manuscript, a girl in a white dress stood outside the class of his major.

The girl's face was as white as snow, her eyelashes were very long, her eyes were clear, her lips were rosy, her nose was small, her face was oval, and her eyebrows were curved.

Under the corners of her white skirt were slender calves, and she was wearing a pair of light blue sandals. The whole person stood there, and the rate of turning heads was extremely high.

And a beautiful person like her is naturally very famous among the boys in the Magic City University, just like Song Lingjun.

The beauty of the school's art department, Mo Ran.

"Senior Mo Ran? Damn, what is she doing here?"

"Waiting for someone? Does she know anyone in our class?"

"Wait. Song Lingjun walked towards her. Does she know them?"

Many people in the class were already whispering at this time.

"Hey, Song Lingjun, you're still so cool after not seeing you for a few years."

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment when she saw Song Lingjun, then immediately smiled.

"I didn't expect you to be in this class."

Song Lingjun looked at Mo Ran carefully and spoke softly.

"Are you still upset about losing to me in the high school piano competition? Do you know now that I came here just to tell me this?"

"I'm not that petty," Mo Ran said softly.

"It happened three years ago, who would remember so much? It was just a piano competition. I came here to find someone else."

The two beautiful girls stood at the door and talked casually, but a group of male classmates who were going to go back to the dormitory to sleep or go to the cafeteria to eat after class slowed down and kept looking back at the two of them.

"Looking for someone else?" Song Lingjun blinked when she heard it.

She was being sentimental.

"Xia Yan"

Just as Song Lingjun was thinking, Mo Ran suddenly waved behind Song Lingjun.

Xia Yan?

She came to see Xia Yan?

Song Lingjun realized this immediately.

Xia Yan was also stunned when he heard someone calling him, and then he saw Mo Ran.

For a moment, he just felt that Mo Ran looked familiar, and he didn't remember who she was.

"Didn't I discuss with you in the coffee shop three months ago that you would report to my comics club after school. I didn't bother you because you didn't come for military training in the first month of school. Now... I came to see how you are doing recently, and whether you are too busy and forgot about this matter." Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan and said with a smile.

"You. Know each other?"

Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan and Mo Ran, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The moment he saw Mo Ran, Xia Yan finally understood what the important information he had forgotten last night was.

Among the people he had met and interacted with, in addition to Song Lingjun who could teach him a little about painting and music, there was also this working girl who played the piano in a coffee shop and had a chance encounter with him. She was rewarded with 100 dragon currency by him. She called herself a "part-time cartoonist" and was the president of the comics club of Magic City University. She was a fan of Xia Yan's novels. Mo Ran.

It had been a month since Xia Yan entered the school. Not to mention that he had agreed with Mo Ran to go to the comics club to apply for admission after entering the school, he even forgot the existence of Mo Ran.

But now.

Xia Yan's expression changed and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, senior sister. How could I forget this? I've been a little busy these days. I plan to join the club in two days."

It's the same. The next chapter will be updated in an hour because I haven't finished coding yet.
