A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Xia Yan's comic fans naturally unconditionally support Xia Yan's new comic so soon. Many comic fans spontaneously promoted the news on major forums as if they were celebrating the New Year.

But many of Xia Yan's colleagues in the comics industry had a very subtle attitude towards the news.

A layman sees the excitement, and an expert sees the door. Although it is rumored that Xia Yan is a rare genius in the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional industry for decades, no matter how talented you are, you are still a human being, right?

Normally, after a cartoonist of Xia Yan's level completes a new work, it is necessary not to mention taking a break for two or three years, but at least one year to calm down and settle down the new work.

No matter how perverted you Xia Yan is, no matter how fast you create new works, if you want to create a comic of decent quality, you still need a few months of rest, right?

Just after Initial D is finished, do you have news about a new comic?

Is there anyone in such a hurry?

Still say.

"I feel like I'm being coerced by Beizhou Comics Club."

"That's not right. Xia Yan hasn't signed a long-term contract with Beizhou Comics. Beizhou Comics shouldn't have any way to manipulate Xia Yan."

"Young people are soft-hearted? You can't stand the request of the cooperative comic club, so you make such a decision rashly?"

"Initial D is now of great importance to Beizhou Comics. Since its serialization, the magazine "Beizhou" has increased sales by three to four million copies. But everyone knows that a considerable number of them are just I only bought this journal because of the work Initial D. If Initial D is finished, I'm afraid the sales of this journal will be very bad, let alone strive to be the best-selling comic journal in Dragon Kingdom. He may have to fall back to third place. Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for him to start a new series rashly as a college student. "

"Looking at it this way, his new comic is very subtle. If the performance suddenly dies because it is full of new serialized works, it will really be more gain than loss."

"Hey, who cares? I've long disliked him. He wants to get involved in the animation industry, the comics industry, and the novel industry. Do you really think you are a god? You want to be in every industry. Be the first and let him suffer this time.”

"I think this is your obscenity. Why would he rashly release a new work? I have heard this kind of remarks several times in the past two years. Every time Xia Yan has a new work serialized, there will be these idiotic remarks. Can you Can’t you do something different?”

"On the surface, this group seems to be a serious analysis of the industry situation. In fact, I only see a group of people who are jealous of Xia Yan. They can only fantasize about the poor performance of his new work here. It's really ridiculous."

"You Xia Yan fans with cerebral palsy, stop talking. I don't believe it. He hastily completed Initial D and then opened a new comic in seconds. How good will the results be? They are all people who have been in the comics industry for so many years. , has anyone seen a cartoonist like him end up well?"

Similar scenes were played out today in many exchange groups for people working in the comics industry.

People have right and wrong when they become famous, and many people actually hope that Xia Yan's new comic will perform badly before they say those remarks.

After all, pinkeye exists in all parts of the world.

What makes them even more uncomfortable than Xia Yan's work like Initial D, which earns hundreds of millions of dragon national currency a year, is that Xia Yan easily makes them jealous, and the high-profit work they dream of ends like this. , and then what new comics will you create?

Comics that earn hundreds of millions a year. What do you, a twenty-year-old person, understand?

How many people will not be able to earn the income of your work in one year in ten lifetimes. You will finish it as soon as you say it will be finished. You will finish it with the reason that you cannot create a plot that you are satisfied with. Why are you going to create new comics?

Even if you can't create a better plot for the Initial D comic, just for this comic, if you just water the comic content for one more year, you will still earn hundreds of millions.

Just don’t want it anymore?

How can adult society be so simple?

For them, Xia Yan's waste of resources and pure literary youth will definitely be punished by God.

I am extremely looking forward to Xia Yan's new comic being released on the street.

During the four or five years since Xia Yan's rise in the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional industry, he has indeed greatly stimulated a number of practitioners who have been in the industry for decades and achieved nothing.

For several days in a row, the news that Xia Yan's new comic book will be published in the latest issue of "Beizhou" magazine has spread throughout the two-dimensional industry with the promotion of the comics club behind it.

Fans of Xia Yan's animation and novels all found out about the news through various channels.

Some people just don’t like Initial D, not that they don’t like Xia Yan’s comic works.

As long as the subject matter is suitable and the plot is novel, they don't mind changing from fans of Xia Yan's novels and animations to comic fans.

finally

In mid-October, the latest issue of the "Beizhou" comic journal was released.

Xia Yan made certain changes to the last chapter of the comic strip of Initial D.

After all, this is the final chapter of the Initial D comic, and to a certain extent, it must give answers to the whereabouts of the characters in the work.

For example, Xia Shu, who broke up with the protagonist Tu Hai in last year's plot, shows in this chapter that she changed her mind after breaking up with Tu Hai. She no longer engages in paid dating, but works as a high school student to make money, and then prepares to study for exams in the future. University.

As for Chi Gu and Usui female driver Zeng Zhi, in fact, in the original comics in the parallel world, there was a subsequent ambiguous relationship between the two in the later plot, which once made fans think that the two might reunite. But in the end, the author of Initial D was still pissed and he didn't let the two of them get together in the end, so Xia Yan was more straightforward. In the ending of the Dragon Kingdom version of Initial D, he used two lines of narration to describe the future life of the two. Cut off fans' thoughts directly.

As for the final scene of the comic, Tu Hai, who is finally invincible in Qiu Ming Mountain and can no longer feel the challenge, finally accepts Gao Liang's request and joins his team. The two of them are the most powerful young drivers of the generation, working together for D Plan, start the journey. ♙♕ ♦ ♦

Rather than saying this is an ending, it is better to say that it leaves fans with endless imagination.

Generally speaking, after the end of this large chapter serialization, this ending cannot be said to satisfy fans, but at least, they can't fault it.

Many people sighed and felt empty in their hearts when they saw the big characters "Initial D, End" on the last page of the comic.

Then, subconsciously, I turned another page and saw

This is a color page comic with beautiful composition and handsome characters.

Full time hunter?

Many fans who were still immersed in the completion of the Initial D comic reacted immediately after seeing this color page picture.

This is the promotional poster for Xia Yan's new comic.

A total of seventeen characters appeared on the stage, some only showing their profile, some only looking back, and some were not even human at all.

Although it is just a promotional poster, Long Guo, a group of two-dimensional fans who have been in the industry for so many years, can't figure out the type of Xia Yan's new comic.

That day, his fans started talking about it since noon.

"Hot-blooded battle comics?"

"Damn it. Is this the new work of old thief Xia Yan?"

"He doesn't draw racing comics anymore? I still want to see his type of works."

"Come on, even if you are an old thief, it's probably impossible for you to create a racing comic that can surpass Initial D. But for hot-blooded battle comics, the competition is fierce in this market."

"Indeed, nowadays, almost 30 to 40% of the works in the Dragon Kingdom comic market are of this type. Among the top ten comic volume sales rankings, seven works are of this type. This category is The most popular category.”

"Are you saying this because you are worried that old thief Xia Yan's new comic will have poor results?"

"That's not the case. I still have confidence in him. After all, Sword Art Online can be considered half a passionate battle work. It is a work of this type. There are too many masterpieces in the history of the Dragon Kingdom comic industry. With the old thief, With his current status and fame, any of his new comics will be compared with these historical masterpieces of the same type by the industry. If you do this, the creative pressure will be great. "

"Initial D is the number one racing comic. No one dares to deny this. However, there are only a few Dragon Kingdom racing comics, so the competition is not that difficult. The hot-blooded combat works are different."

"It's the same thing again, don't question it. Besides, Xia Yan, the old thief, just serialized a hot-blooded combat comic. As you can tell, it seems that if his new work does not beat the best in the history of this category of comics, it will be a failure. Same, it’s too harsh on him.”

"Is it harsh? Let me reiterate now that Xia Yan, the old thief, is now the creator of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the TV animation volume with average BD sales volume in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry. He is also the creator of the best-selling theatrical animated BD volume "Tale of Rebellion". He is the creator of "Sword Art Online", the eighth best-selling single volume in the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry, and the creator of "Initial D", the ninth best-selling single volume in the Dragon comics industry. "

"Among them, the average sales volume of Sword Art Online is still climbing. It is estimated that in one month it will surpass the average volume sales of "The Great Revolutionary from Another World" of 23 million copies, climbing to the sixth place in the history volume sales volume, and it will be ranked sixth in the historical volume sales volume. If the popularity of this work does not decline in the next year, there is a high probability that the average sales volume will exceed 2,400 volumes, soaring to the top four in history, or even higher. Now tell me, if the old thief opens a new comic now, others will think of him What level does the new comic work compare to the comic works in history?"

"When you say this, it suddenly feels a bit scary! In the field of animation, in terms of BD sales, the two works of Lao Zei have already surpassed Magic Circle and Cyberpunk Edge Walker, and have reached the top. In the field of comics, Initial Letter After the last two volumes of D are released in the next two months, it is estimated that the average volume sales will exceed 23 million, surpassing its rival "Double Ring", and becoming the seventh-largest volume in the history of Dragon Kingdom comics. Let’s not talk about the novel industry. Sword Art Online is a buggy work. A group of fans of the ALO chapter are scolding the Internet every day, saying that the plot of Xia Yan’s old thief is disgusting and that Xu Xiang still doesn’t kill him. But the average sales volume of the single volume is 1. It has been growing steadily every month, just shy of breaking through the 2,300-volume average. Anyway, if the average volume of his new comic book does not rank among the top five in history, it feels like he is failing! His expectation is definitely not to keep up with his past results, but to improve.”

"Are you talking about a bad joke? The fifth goalkeeper in the top five in history is the hot-blooded boy comic "Fire King" which was completed twelve years ago and has an average sales volume of 24.7 million copies! It has not reached the level of Flame King. Level is considered a pounce?”

"There's nothing we can do about it. Considering Xia Yan's current status in the fields of comics, animation, and light novels, as well as the huge number of fans he has accumulated, his new comic must reach this kind of sales figure to be considered successful."

"I have been a fan of Xia Yan since his youth journey four years ago. In fact, I have always just thought that he was famous and didn't think he was too exaggerated until I saw the results of his works listed by netizens above. It was too exaggerated. Ah! He has reached the top in the animation industry, the comic industry is barely there, and there is still a chance for Sword Art Online in the light novel industry. After all, it is still being serialized. I mean, if, I mean if, Xia Yanlao. The quality of Thief's Hunter Hunter manga is extremely high. By then, the average sales volume of a single volume has reached the top of the Dragon Kingdom's history. Sword Art Online's popularity has steadily increased over the next one or two years, and it has also topped the Dragon Kingdom's history of light novels. What do you think it means to be No. 1 in sales volume?”

"."

"This means that the old thief Xia Yan has become a god."

"Holy shit, I didn't even dare to think like this, but when you said it like this, I found out that it's not impossible, and even the probability is not small. Now in Sword Art Online, we also understand the old thief's creative ideas, change the map Well, sao's plot is boring, just alo. If alo kills this idiot Xu Xiang later, he will change to another game. As long as his creativity is still there, Sword Art Online actually has a great chance. The sales volume has reached the top, and the full-time hunter has exploded."

"By that time, the old thief Xia Yan will really become a god in the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional industry. The two-dimensional industry covers games, novels, comics, and animations. In games, the plot is not the main thing, it depends on the gameplay creativity, so Don’t worry about this field, but if the sales of Xia Yan’s works in the other three fields reach the top, I would call him the strongest creator in the history of the two-dimensional industry.”

"Don't be a fan, don't be a fan. What if you suck at Sword Art Online and the new manga of the old thief, and the plot of Sword Art Online is unfinished in the later stage, and the full-time hunter starts to hit the streets, it will be funny."

Xia Yan's fans are still relatively active. From a simple promotional poster for his new comic, he inferred that it was a passionate battle comic. From this theme, he discussed whether Xia Yan has the opportunity to work in the three major fields of the two-dimensional industry. Sales reached the top.

It can only be said that this is what fans in the industry expect of him today.

It is also the performance expectation of everyone in the industry for Xia Yan's new comic "Hunter".

The employees of Beizhou Comics Club, from the top to the grassroots, all felt a strong pressure after the Initial D comic ended today.

Everyone knows that if Xia Yan's new comic book "Hunter" performs extremely well, Beizhou Comics Club will most likely take advantage of this trend to make the sales volume of its "Beizhou" comic journal top the list in the Dragon Kingdom.

On the contrary, in the past year, most of the millions of journal fans that the journal has gained through Xia Yan's initial D will pass away in a very short period of time.

next day

Beizhou Comics didn’t give in to the situation anymore. The official website directly announced the serialization date of the Hunter Hunter comic. At the end of October, in the last issue of this month's "Beizhou" magazine, the first chapter of Xia Yan's new work "Hunter" will be serialized in full color pages.

This news spread throughout the entire Internet in less than a day.

The major news media did not need Beizhou Comics to spend money to buy hot searches, but took the initiative to report the news crazily.

This is the huge amount of traffic that is currently entangled in Xia Yan.

It's not that Xia Yan needs to use the power of the media to spread his influence, but that the media needs to ride on Xia Yan's popularity to ensure that their news reports and articles have traffic.

At this time, Xia Yan was watching the reviews of his new comic on the Internet in his company.

"How are you feeling? Do you feel any pressure? Now the entire industry is saying that if your new comic cannot be sold into the top five in history, it will be sold out. They even ask you to reach the top of the comics industry in terms of sales by then." Tang Yin said at this time He walked behind Xia Yan and said with a smile.

"Are you feeling stressed?"

"Pressure? Why?" Xia Yan looked at her fair and delicate face and reached out to pinch it.

Well, it's slippery.

"There is no need for fans to speculate. This is what I thought before I chose to serialize the comic "Hunter."
