A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Although he has never been in a relationship, Xia Yan at least does not have any anxiety or nervousness.

Besides, it is not strange that Tang Yin directly asked about this topic.

What era is it now? If a boy buys a bottle of water for a girl when it is hot, the other party will probably wonder if he is interested in her.

Xia Yan invited Tang Yin to the amusement park. If she did not have similar thoughts and guesses, it would be strange.

Chasing a girl or a boy is almost an open act for both parties. After all, if a person of the opposite sex is inexplicably nice to you, it must not be out of friendship.

But almost open is not the same as open. Tang Yin's question is equivalent to completely revealing the last veil between the two, forcing both parties to confront each other openly.

There is nothing to deny, what is is what is.

"Is that so?" Tang Yin heard the words, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Xia Yan did not ask more, but changed the subject.

"I just vomited all the food I had. Do you still want to continue in the amusement park?" Xia Yan looked at Tang Yin. There are dozens or hundreds of projects in this amusement park, and they have only played less than one-tenth of them.

"Of course I will continue!" Tang Yin smiled when she heard this.

"I am very interested in that high-altitude roller coaster, as well as the Ferris wheel and the rotating coffee."

Xia Yan felt relieved.

It seems.

At least the other party did not show a rejection attitude.

Although Xia Yan pursued a girl for the first time, he did not think that this would definitely have a result in a short time.

Tang Yin's attitude at least showed that she did not hate Xia Yan's idea of ​​wanting to develop their relationship in the direction of a couple.

Of course, no one knows what the final result will be, but in short, the first step is not bad.

The two wandered in the amusement park until the afternoon, and finally ended their amusement park trip with the Ferris wheel project.

In the evening, when they returned home.

Xia Yan lay tiredly on the bed in his room.

To be honest, he admired Tang Yin. The shoes in Asuna's cosplay costume were high-heeled. She didn't feel tired after walking all day in them?

In another room, Tang Yin lay on the bed and took off her white stockings, revealing her slender and straight calves.

Her toes were a little red.

Thinking of what Xia Yan said to her today.

[If you mean the boy's affection for the girl, then it is true. ]

Affection.

To be honest, this is not the first time that Tang Yin has been pursued by a boy.

From childhood to adulthood, she has received hundreds of male confession letters, and has been confessed to in front of boys more than ten times.

But she always decisively rejected them when she encountered them, and never engaged in ambiguous things.

Only today

She didn't say anything, but completed today's amusement park date with Xia Yan in tacit understanding.

Not refusing already shows her attitude towards this matter.

"I really have feelings for Xia Yan beyond friendship." Tang Yin showed self-mockery on her face.

In the bathtub, when the warm water covered her neck, her fatigue of the whole day disappeared.

Her mouth sank below the water level, blowing bubbles out until her face turned red from holding her breath, and then she floated up and took a deep breath.

Three days later.

The Lunar New Year of Longguo is coming.

During these three days, Xia Yan and Tang Yin had dinner together, communicated, and discussed the development direction of the company as usual.

But in fact, both of them could feel that the relationship between them was different from before.

When they were a little closer to each other, their heartbeats would speed up slightly, and they would pay more attention to each other's eyes and expressions when talking, and would think about what the other person liked.

In the afternoon, Tang Yin went home first.

But before seven o'clock, she pushed the door open with an angry look on her face.

At this moment, Xia Yan hadn't eaten the New Year's Eve dinner yet.

After all, Tang Yin said that she would come back to the villa tonight.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yan hurriedly fiddled with the dishes.

"Nothing. I have a cousin who is about ten years older than me and is already a grandmother. My father brought this up at the dinner table today and criticized me mercilessly, which made me very angry."

"A grandmother?" Xia Yan was shocked.

"Well, she gave birth to a child at the age of 18 and became a grandmother at the age of 38." Tang Yin said.

Xia Yan and Tang Yin were both silent for a while.

Some people are still single in their thirties, and some people already have grandchildren

This topic is really heavy.

Xia Yan could imagine what Tang Yin's father would say to her.

Whoosh! ! !

A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded.

Xia Yan stood up and pushed open the French window.

Outside the house, the biting cold wind swept in, blowing Xia Yan's hair and Tang Yin's clothes.

In the sky, gorgeous fireworks bloomed, and a faint smell of gunpowder began to permeate the air.

"Ah, it's really necessary to have this thing during the Chinese New Year."

"Without it, I always feel like something is missing."

Tang Yin walked to Xia Yan's side, then took out a small gift box from her pocket and gave it to Xia Yan.

"What is it?" Xia Yan asked.

"New Year's gift. Just a music box." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan, and a smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

"Happy New Year."

The one-week Chinese New Year holiday ended quickly.

At the end of January, the employees of Beizhou Comics and Liuli Bookstore returned to work one after another.

At Xia Yan's residence, employees of the two companies also sent people to send gifts to Xia Yan, the most popular creator in the company, on the first day of resuming work.

Although the gift was not valuable, the important thing for the two companies was to show that they valued Xia Yan.

People from the bank immediately called to express their condolences to Xia Yan, a high-quality customer with large deposits.

Everything seems to be back to normal.

Song Lingjun and Mo Ran, who returned, didn't feel any difference in the relationship between them, but only Xia Yan and Tang Yin could feel that some emotion was budding between them.

In February, Initial D was serialized into the Qiu Mingshan showdown between the protagonist and the popular villain Gao Liang. The number of readers' votes for the work in the "Beizhou" journal rose to a whopping 3.4 million.

The third volume of the novel is also officially on sale.

At this time, the sales volume of the first volume of Initial D has reached 19 million copies, and the sales volume of the second volume has also reached 16.5 million copies.

During the Chinese New Year, many children who received lucky money contributed to the sales of the single book titled Initial D.

And with the serialization of Initial D, the sales data of single volumes of Initial D are still rising steadily.

As for Sword Art Online.

The two-chapter novel updated during the Chinese New Year features the popular character Yui from the original novel.

This little girl, whom Kirito and Asuna picked up during their honeymoon, had a father and a mother calling out to them.

This scene.

The family of three was enjoying themselves.

A good daughter fell from the sky, which perfectly solved the problem of infertility and raising children in the game world, and perfected the family structure of Asuna and Kirito.

Readers call Xia Yan a genius.

The addition of new characters has made the discussion among Sword Art Online fans even more heated.

The news that the first volume of the novel will be released in mid-February has aroused fans' enthusiasm.

Because the official website of Liuli Bookstore directly announced that the first volume of the novel will introduce two special novels that are not included in the serial novel manuscript as bonuses.

The two special novels are all about improving the popular character of this novel, Grandpa Kirito, who is always unhappy and "lucky" in his heart.

Moreover, Sachi’s character poster has been redesigned to be more beautiful.

After the relevant information was revealed by Liuli Publishing House, fans of Sword Art Online have been gearing up.

Many companies in the Ryukoku light novel industry are also paying great attention to the release of the Sword Art Online single book.

Again, Sword Art Online’s influence on the Internet is obvious to all.

Nowadays, even on the official websites of two major bookstores, Xingkong Novel and Qingze Bookstore, Sword Art Online fans often post on them to discuss the plot.

It is no longer limited to the territory of Liuli Book Club, Sword Art Online is eroding the fan base of the other two book clubs and expanding its influence.

But after all, popularity and popularity are difficult to quantify.

Therefore, the data that can quantify the popularity of a novel is the sales volume of the single book.

With the joint efforts of Liuli Books and major bookstore dealers, newsstands in major bookstores began pre-sale activities for the first volume of Sword Art Online half a month in advance.

Activities such as giving away the Sword Art Online setting set for pre-ordering novels, giving Asuna out-of-print bookmarks, and giving Kirito key pendants are also being launched simultaneously in major first- and second-tier cities.

The things are not valuable, but to obsessive collectors, these things mean a lot.

Similarly, in early February, the Emperor Star Awards, Dragon Song Awards, Best TV Animation Awards and Best Animated Film Selection Awards were launched simultaneously.

This year, according to procedures, these awards will all be announced in April.

However, before that, the works nominated for these awards must first pass the first round of award selection.

The official websites of major awards have already started voting for fan kits, which is crucial to whether a work can pass the second round.

In the end, the situation was similar to what the outside world imagined. Sword Art Online, Initial D, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica were extremely influential in the award events they participated in, and far surpassed the second place in the reader voting round.

And in the first round of reader voting for the best animated film selection.

To the Moon also ranked first in the number of votes cast, but unlike Xia Yan's other three works, it easily attracted several times the number of votes cast in second place.

But overall, the situation is very optimistic.

the other side.

At the end of the first ten days

Xia Tang Animation Production Company has finally announced its big move after the start of the new year.

The animated trailer I have been waiting for seven years later was released on the official website.

The work "I'm Waiting for You in Seven Years" will be broadcast on the TV station in a little more than a month in April.

This time, Xia Yan no longer spends money to buy GG seats.

This cartoon, with an investment of only 30 million, was competed by two TV stations, Modu TV1 and Imperial TV1.

The copyright broadcast fee paid to Xia Yan's company alone reached 31 million, and the time limit for this broadcast right was limited to the time when the work was serialized and updated, and it was a limited-time broadcast copyright fee.

But even so, the competition between the two TV stations is fierce. If the budget indicators were not insufficient, the person in charge of the Imperial TV1 station would definitely not be willing to let go.

Although the two TV stations are also very vague about the plot and content of this work, after all, the synopsis of the story sent to them by Xia Yan is relatively concise, and the plots of the first few episodes of animation that have been produced are also full of mysteries, which makes their person in charge confused. Somewhat confused.

But said nothing.

This is another animation masterpiece of Love Warrior after the completion of Magical Girl Madoka Magica. Just for this name, it is worth the price.

When Magical Girl Madoka Magica was first broadcast on TV, how many people understood the foreshadowing in the early plot?

Did this affect the popularity of this work in the later period?

As for Xia Yan, after confirming the broadcasting TV station, the company's official website also released the animation trailer of I'll Wait for You in Seven Years for the first time.

And this animation trailer, once it was launched, completely set off the Dragon Country animation industry, and fans from all walks of life rushed to promote it on major forums.
