A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Tang Yin did not tell Song Lingjun and Xia Yan about the discussion of the "New God Ascension" activity in the editorial department during the company meeting today.

Half a year later is too far away, and it is meaningless to discuss it now.

However, the book company is willing to appropriately allocate resources to Xia Yan and Song Lingjun, which is a good thing.

Anyway, it can increase the influence of the two novels.

In fact, the performance of serialized novels is often not entirely based on the quality of the novel itself. Factors such as capital and platform also have a great influence.

Just like when Tang Yin read the first three chapters of Xia Yan's novel, she felt that the quality of the novel "Youth Journey" exceeded most of the serialized novels in "Red Maple".

After reading the manuscript of the seventh and eighth chapters of the novel "Youth Journey" submitted by Xia Yan, her idea became that "Youth Journey" is definitely better than all the serialized novels in the "Red Maple" journal.

Of course, this is just her personal preference and opinion.

But in fact, her market sense is very keen.

In Yuan Qing's world, "Youth Journey" is also a top-notch work among the island girls' love animation.

The original comic is popular, the animation is also popular, and it has been adapted into a movie.

It is an excellent, mature work with high commercial value.

But unfortunately.

It is serialized in "Momentary Youth", which feels a bit like Lu Bu riding a dog, and its combat power cannot be fully exerted.

The serialization platform is "Momentary Youth", which means that the performance ceiling of this novel, the number of fans and influence will be limited by the sales of "Momentary Youth" magazine.

A magazine that only 300,000 readers are willing to buy, even if the factors of borrowing and spreading the magazine among friends are taken into account, will this novel have millions of fans?

Of course not.

This is the limitation and constraint of an excellent work by external factors such as capital and insufficient platform.

And now this novel is preparing to publish a single volume.

"Maybe, without the constraints of novel magazines, Youth Journey can have a better performance in the single volume market."

Tang Yin looked at the urban buildings outside the window and thought so.

Getting up, washing, going to school, going home, and then writing novels in class and after school has become Xia Yan's daily life this semester. It is actually quite boring.

But the royalties for the novel "Youth Journey" are paid twice a week, which also revitalizes Xia Yan's dry heart.

Before the start of school, he was still worried about his livelihood. Now, more than a month after the start of school, he already has a total asset of nearly 20,000 yuan, and the pressure in his heart has finally decreased a lot.

Even if he is forced to move out of the house he lives in today tomorrow, anyway, including the royalties that have not yet been paid, this money is enough for his high school life in the next year or so.

In school, whether it is "Youth Journey" or "Yesterday's Starlight", the number of fans of the novels is increasing. Xia Yan has gone from occasionally hearing others talk about these two novels to now often hearing alumni fans discussing the plot there.

The boring morning ended, and during the lunch break at noon, Xia Yan returned to the classroom to lie down and rest after eating in the cafeteria.

But before he rested for five minutes, the shocked discussion of the group of girls in the class soon sounded.

"Really? Look, what's written on the cover of this issue of "Momentary Beauty"?"

"Nancheng No. 3 Middle School genius high school student novelist "Ning Yun", "Yuan Qing"."

"What does this mean?"

Several girls took advantage of lunch time to go to the bookstore at the school gate to buy the new issue of "Momentary Beauty", but just when they wanted to catch up on the novels at lunch time, they were shocked by the content of the cover.

The illustrations of the male and female protagonists of Youth Journey and Yesterday's Starlight stand in the center of the journal cover.

But the most important thing is the cover narration.

"Does this mean that Yuan Qing, the author of Youth Journey, and Ning Yun, the author of Yesterday's Starlight, are from our school?"

When one of the girls said this, most of the boys and girls in the class looked in her direction.

Maybe not everyone is interested in the "Momentary Beauty" journal. But absolutely everyone is interested in gossip.

Two light novel writers emerged from the students of their own school?

This kind of news is very attractive to students.

The class immediately started discussing.

"Really? Who is it?"

"Let me see."

"Huh? That's it? You just said that Yuan Qing and Ning Yun are students of our school, and their first submission of novels has achieved good results, and you didn't say anything else?"

"Damn, I hate this kind of book club that only speaks halfway."

→

"I can't accept it. Youth Journey and Yesterday's Starlight, are novels that students of our school can write?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, which class is this tough guy from?"

"Damn, I also like to read novels, and I actually have a heart to write novels. And I have tried it, but let alone submitting to the top book clubs in the southern province like Red Maple Literature, even those 18th-tier small magazines like Story Collection didn't take a liking to my submissions. How can these two people be so amazing? Newcomers, high school students, and my schoolmates, they were noticed by Red Maple Literature for the first submission, and the results were not bad."

"By the way, the royalties for novels that can be serialized in "Momentary Beauty" should not be low."

"If I understand it correctly, depending on the results, the manuscript fee for a novel is more than 4,000 yuan per issue, and as high as 20,000 yuan per issue. A month is simply calculated as four weeks and eight serial issues. The monthly manuscript fee is at least four Between 10,000 and 160,000”

"Forty thousand? I'm dizzy. I only have one hundred and fifty yuan of pocket money a month."

"My dad's annual income is only 50,000 yuan. Is there a student in our school earning what my dad earns in a year in one month?"

The students in the class were curious and discussed this topic with increasing enthusiasm.

"Xia Yan, are you also interested in this kind of news?"

On the side, Zhang Yang said to Xia Yan with a smile.

"It's nothing, I'm just bored and watching what topics they are discussing." Xia Yan took a deep look at Zhang Yang, without revealing any clues.

This guy has such a big mouth that he can't even stand tall. If he knows any information, it means everyone in the class knows it.

"I said, are you always writing something with your head down in class recently?" Zhang Yang joked.

"Then Yuan Qing and Ning Yun, the true form of one of them must be you."

Xia Yan rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile.

"That's right, I'm showing off. I'm the one advertised in that journal, "Genkiyo, the author of novels for gifted high school students." Why, are you my book fan?"

"Go away, are you "Genki"? You admit it shamelessly after saying it casually. Are you worthy? The person who wrote this novel must be a rare beauty. Like Futaba and Yuri in the story How could a mortal like you write such a realistic plot about being jealous and isolated by the people around you because you are too cute?" Zhang Yang's eyes flashed.

"If you ask me, probably only people like Song Lingjun can experience the pain of being isolated by the people around because they are too good. Well, putting it this way, I feel that there is a slight possibility that "Yuanqing" is her. Alas, Forget it, her family is so rich, how can she afford to pay tens of thousands of dollars for writing a novel?"

Xia Yan was stunned when he heard this.

This Yang has something to offer!

It seems like I'm making random associations, but in fact I guess they're quite related.

"You say that? It feels like you have watched Journey of Youth. You are a boy, but you also read such girls' novels?" Xia Yan asked curiously, silently skipping the topic he had previously discussed with Zhang Yang.

"I saw it by chance." Zhang Yang's expression froze.

"My sister likes it, so I kind of understand."

Zhang Yang will never admit that he is also a fan of Journey of Youth.

And in every official website poll for Youth Journey, he and his friends who were annoyed by him cast several votes of support for Youth Journey.

What happened in Xia Yan's class also happened in other classes in the school, including Song Lingjun's class.

A group of people in the class were discussing who was Ning Yun and who was Yuan Qing.

Song Lingjun, on the other hand, was sitting alone in the corner by the window, feeling a little panicked, but also a little happy.

After all, as long as you are a novel writer, no one will be unhappy when hearing other people speak positively about themselves and their works.

These incidents that occurred in No. 3 Middle School did not affect book fans in other areas.

Although everyone is surprised that the author of Journey of Youth and Yesterday's Starlight is actually a high school student and an alumnus of Nancheng No. 3 Middle School in the capital city of Southern Province.

But what ordinary fans are more concerned about is the plot of the novel.

After the plot of the fifth chapter of Journey of Youth was released, it received a greater response from the fan community than the previous four chapters.

After all, the content of this chapter is very clear.

The emotions between Futaba and Yu decisively squeezed in a third party.

Futaba's classmate and friend

Yuri!

The plot of this chapter is very exciting and attractive, but at the same time, it also makes readers emotional.

After all, the plot really slipped towards the worst ending they suspected.

And this has also led to the topic of youth journey being discussed on the official website of Red Maple Literature today, which is much higher than after the previous chapters were released.
