A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Tang Yin went home temporarily.

Her family was originally in Magic City, but she didn't go back at all on weekdays to avoid being forced to get married by her father, but she had to go back on New Year's Eve. She actually asked Xia Yan to go home with him to "meet her father for the second time", but However, Xia Yan didn't want to spend the Chinese New Year working as a lightbulb at Tang Yin's house, so she declined the proposal.

Tang Yin herself said that her family has dozens of people celebrating the Chinese New Year every year.

Tang Yin was quite disappointed with this.

After all, every New Year's Eve, her big family gathers together and always discusses which cousin married which good wife? Which cousin married which young and promising man?

If she could bring Xia Yan home, she would be the envy of her cousins ​​who had been provoking her as a single person in front of her in the past few years.

After all, Xia Yan is young, good-looking, and most importantly, talented and rich.

Although Xia Yan doesn't pay much attention to these things on weekdays, in fact, thanks to several popular works of Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yan is now a wealthy man with assets of more than 2 billion.

One person's total net worth is greater than that of Tang Yin's entire family combined.

After enduring the teasing from her relatives for several years, she still thought about Xia Yan going to help her regain her place today.

In the afternoon, Xia Yan sat alone in the living room at home, opened all the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, looked at the falling winter snow outside, and quietly ate New Year's Eve dinner alone.

To be honest, from the perspective of outsiders, this is indeed quite lonely.

But Xia Yan himself is fine. He is not a social animal in the family. After his father died, he adapted to this environment to some extent. On weekdays, Song Lingjun, Tang Yin, and Mo Ran would discuss topics together during meals. Now a person would feel a little weird.

After finishing the meal, I watched a popular anime released this season by Dragon Kingdom for a while, and wrote the ending plot of the Sword Art Online alo chapter in the room.

By ten o'clock in the evening

The sound of someone entering the house from the electronic lock in the hall sounded.

This made Xia Yan a little strange.

Turning around, I saw it was Tang Yin.

He was wearing a light white down jacket and his hair was tied into a single ponytail. Although he was holding an umbrella, his clothes and hair were covered with snow.

Her smooth face was slightly red from the cold wind. After seeing Xia Yan, a smile appeared on her face. She felt the warm temperature in the room with the air conditioner on, and then took off her down jacket.

"Why are you back?" Xia Yan paused and said.

After all, Tang Yin didn't go home for several months on weekdays. This time she went back to celebrate the New Year, so she had to stay at home for a day anyway.

"What? You don't welcome me?" Tang Yin walked to Xia Yan and grabbed Xia Yan's palm.

"Damn, it's so cold!" Xia Yan complained.

"I know, that's why you use your hands to help me keep warm." Tang Yin sat down next to Xia Yan and rested her head directly on Xia Yan's shoulder.

"Okay, let me answer your first question." Tang Yin said with a smile.

"I was planning to rest at home for the night, but while I was lying on the bed, I suddenly thought about what if you were alone in this empty house and were afraid of ghosts in the middle of the night. So I came back to save you."

"Afraid of female ghosts in the middle of the night? Do you think I am you?" Xia Yan sneered.

"and"

Come to think of it, what is the so-called soul? Isn't it the Yuan Qing in Xia Yan's mind?

To some extent, this thing has no mystery to Xia Yan, and he is not afraid of it at all.

"You won't obey my words and cooperate with me!" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan speechlessly, and then whispered.

"The main reason is that I feel that you are celebrating the New Year alone with no one around you, and I am worried that you will feel uncomfortable, so I came back to stay with you."

Xia Yan was stunned when he heard this. Then he smiled.

"It's true that I was a little depressed before, but now I find that I'm much better."

"Right." Tang Yin perked up after hearing this.

"Yes, yes, my goddess Tang Yin. Thank you for not forgetting me." Xia Yan cooperated with a smile.

The two joked for a while, and finally, Xia Yan asked seriously.

"What about uncle? You ran away from home during the Chinese New Year and he didn't respond?"

"I said I went to my boyfriend's house to celebrate the New Year, and he was very happy."

The two of them exchanged words with each other, chatting like this until midnight.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside.

Huge fireworks were also set off in the sky, right on time at midnight, and the whole city was a grand occasion.

There are no regulations on fireworks and firecrackers in Longguo, but it is still very lively during the Chinese New Year. Officials will set off fireworks, and private parties can also purchase and set off fireworks.

Xia Yan took Tang Yin's hand and walked to the window.

Opening the window, the biting cold wind and air smelling of gunpowder blew in.

"Hey, Xia Yan." Tang Yin's pupils flashed with the reflection of fireworks in the sky.

"Um?"

"How do you feel now?" Tang Yin asked.

"Me." Xia Yan grasped Tang Yin's hand tightly.

"I hope I can watch the New Year fireworks with you next year."

Starting from New Year's Eve, the next seven days are holidays stipulated by the laws of the Dragon Kingdom.

During this period, Sword Art Online and Hunter Hunter each updated and serialized one chapter.

The Sword Art Online alo chapter has entered the later stages of the plot.

The protagonist Kirito is already thinking about how to enter the top of the World Tree, find Asuna imprisoned in the birdcage, and rescue her.

As for the latest updated plot of Hunter Hunter, Leorio showed off his performance.

He used the method of scaring the muscular man who pretended to be dead in the previous chapter to make him afraid, and then voluntarily admitted defeat, bringing his battle with Kurapika to an end.

Then

It's a showdown between Leorio and a female prisoner.

The two of them compete, give each other competition items, and then make a bet.

The first competition item was proposed by a female prisoner to guess whether she was a boy or a girl.

Typical psychological warfare.

There may be very few people in society who look like girls but are actually boys, but in the prisons in comics, who are there?

No matter how you guess, this competition is extremely risky.

But if you guess it is a woman, you must verify it with your hands to take advantage.

This is the psychological trap set by the female prisoner for Leorio.

To be honest, this plot is quite funny.

The audience looked very happy too.

Sure enough, Leorio lost this round easily.

Then it was Leorio's turn, and he proposed guessing as a competition event for the two of them in this round.

Then

The entire chapter of the comic revolves around the game of guessing, a game that even children understand, and unfolds a series of knowledge explanations and psychological tactics.

To be honest, the psychological tactics and knowledge involved in Full-time Hunter are not advanced knowledge from a psychological point of view.

If they are professionals in this field, they themselves know a lot of the knowledge involved in the plot.

But the problem is that the subject matter of comics is ultimately for the public.

The vast majority of public readers do not understand this knowledge.

and

Being able to apply boring psychological knowledge to the comic plot in the form of comics, and still make readers enjoy reading it, is a very difficult thing in itself.

Naturally, the simple-minded Leorio easily fell into the trap of the female prisoner and failed.

In the end, Killua's performance was the only one left in the plot of the battle between Gon's gang and the prisoners in the Tower of Trials.

As for Dongba, readers did not expect him to perform well.

A few days passed by and the annual vacation was over.

All employees of Beizhou Comics Club and Liuli Book Club soon arrived and resumed normal operations.

Mo Ran flew back to the Magic City by plane the day after taking the leave, carrying large and small bags of local specialties from her hometown to give to Xia Yan and Tang Yin.

As for Song Lingjun, he returned with his suitcase the next day.

She brought Mo Ran, Xia Yan, and Tang Yin the peace charms she had harvested in the temple during the Chinese New Year.

"You don't believe this?"

Tang Yin and Xia Yan were quite surprised when they received this thing.

"Just believe me. Since I'm bored during the Chinese New Year, I just go for a walk with my family." Hearing this, Song Lingjun raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

After the annual vacation, Xia Yan's life and work finally got back on track.

Time has also entered February.

And at this time period.

In fact, in the Dragon Kingdom two-dimensional industry, it is a little more subtle.

Because basically starting from this time period, animation companies that are preparing to serialize new works in the April summer animation market will successively buy promotion space in major media and GG merchants in Dragon Kingdom to pre-heat the broadcast of their works. .

But this year’s Dragon Kingdom animation market

[The animation adapted from the popular battle comic "Rainseeker" produced by Yuanling Company will officially move from the summer schedule in April to the autumn schedule. 】

[Tian Ming, the top animation screenwriter in the Dragon Kingdom, has officially announced that his new original animation "Tianqing" will be moved to the winter animation market after four years of absence. 】

[Classic game changed animation "Mania Metal" moved. 】

After entering February, many animation fans in Long Kingdom did not wait for more relevant news about their favorite animation works on the market.

Instead, we only received news that a number of well-known companies have moved their works.

The entire industry knows why this happens.

Normally, which animation quarter market competition is not fierce?

No matter which quarter you place the animation works produced by your subordinates, there won’t be much difference.

Therefore, animation production companies in Dragon Kingdom would not engage in boring tricks such as shifting files.

TV stations broadcast it, isn’t it just for ratings?

Who wants to air it on the same schedule, on the same working day, and in the same time period to grab ratings? Come then.

Take life and death lightly and do it if you don't accept it. Who is afraid of whom?

but

This situation has changed in the past two years.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica two years ago, the season it aired can be said to be a feast for the eyes, leaving a little bit of star power for other works.

During the same period, a number of animation works not only had their ratings squeezed, but also released animated DVDs afterwards, with sales falling by more than 40% than predicted. Many profitable animation projects ended up suffering huge losses.

Last year’s Cyberpunk Edgewalker recreated this scene.

This animation was aired in the autumn schedule, and its influence even lasted throughout the winter animation schedule.

Now in April, Xia Yan’s new animation Lelouch of the Rebellion is about to be aired again.

The animated PV of Lelouch that Xia Yan previously promoted at the 2077bd release conference has been viewed over 100 million times across the entire network.

This animation, with a total investment of 1.7 billion, is the largest investment project in Xia Yan's animation career.

And Xia Yan even directly said that Lelouch had a great possibility of surpassing the Magic Circle.

Take a look at all the data combined.

It’s no wonder that these colleagues in the Xia Yan animation industry chose to escape from the summer animation schedule after careful consideration.

Anyway, everyone should get used to things like animation delays.

However, since the production of an animation has begun and the schedule has been determined, a large amount of funds are squeezed into this work. Capital must pursue profitability, so it cannot be shifted for too long.

This directly led to the fact that this autumn animation market, which originally had relatively low competition, became so crowded because a lot of works were moved to the autumn in April.

But even so.

No one is willing to compete with the rebellious Lelouch in April.

Who knows if it will be another popular masterpiece?

Anyway, avoid it first.

It doesn't matter only the producers behind those low-cost animations. Anyway, fighting between gods won't hurt them. Their low-cost garbage animations have their own special fans who like to watch them.

Xia Yan came to the company and took a look at the new quarter report of Longguo Animation Market summarized by his subordinates.

Weird expression.

"Lelouch of the Rebellion is a long series with a total length of more than fifty episodes in two seasons! It will be broadcast from April this year until the animation market next spring." Xia Yan was a little dumbfounded.

He didn't mean to squeeze the living space of these peers, but the fact is that these animations that are moved to the autumn market will 100% be affected by Lelouch's popularity.

It can even be said that if they move to the autumn market, it will be even worse.

Because the early plot of Lelouch also had a bit boring campus water story interspersed with it.

In the early stage, Lelouch was just a middle school boy, and the charm of the character was still in the process of being revealed.

But at the end, it will be high-energy throughout, and the popularity of the heroine CC and the major supporting characters will take off.

In fact, the animation works that will be most affected by Lelouch's popularity will be autumn and winter, as well as the spring quarter of next year.

At that time, Lelouch will broadcast the plot to the later stage.

"Forget it, it's none of my business." Xia Yan shook his head.

After all, business competition is what it is.

In early February, Xia Yan's Xia Tang Animation Production Company also struck while the iron was hot and released a promotional video for Lelouch Animation PV2!

Different from the pv1 announced at the previous press conference, pv2 shows more details of the role of the heroine CC.

Especially her voice acting.

Xia Yan interviewed hundreds of female voice actors in Long Kingdom before finding one who matched the voice and temperament of the animated version of CC in the parallel world.

After the Lelouch animation trailer pv2 was released, that day

Hot search terms related to Lelouch directly ranked in the top ten of major 2D forums such as Jiuxiao.

And in one day, the number of clicks on this pv across the entire network exceeded 10 million.

This performance made many companies in the animation industry smile bitterly and shake their heads. Although the April animation schedule has not come yet, everyone basically understands who is the hegemonic animation of the quarter.

The Spring Festival of Dragon Kingdom has just passed a week ago.

But for Dragon Kingdom animation fans, their Spring Festival.

It was April, the day when the rebellious Lelouch was released.

The rebellious Lelouch's real animation broadcast promotion campaign will also start in early February and will be launched simultaneously throughout the Dragon Kingdom.

Meanwhile, the next day.

Another chapter of "Hunter Hunter" comic content is serialized and released.

In this chapter, the cover of the journal shows a picture of Killua with a scary smile on his face.

I would like to ask Hunter fans in the parallel world, what is the plot that impressed the most about the character of Killua?

Maybe seven or eight out of ten Hunter fans will immediately recall the battle between Killua and the real murderer, the Ripper, in the Tower of Trials.

After all, it is the childhood shadow of many hunter fans, but it is the same as Kurapika's performance in the first two episodes that attracted countless fans.

In this battle, Killua's performance was slightly different, and it was considered polarizing.

If you have no fans at the same time, it will also dissuade many comic readers.

Readers with extremely upright views will find this plot awkward.

After all, Killua is a member of the killer family who knows how to kill better than the murderous Ripper.

Why is he a member of the protagonist group?

In other comics, the protagonist would definitely have to draw a clear line with this kind of guy, and never interact with him forever!

But in the hunter, Xiaojie doesn't care about this at all.

Seriously speaking, can Gon, who is friends with killers like Killua and Hisoka, be considered a good person?

This in itself is the hunter's world view.

Some people are uncomfortable and can't stand it, but more people are addicted to it.
