A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

The next day, the ratings for the first episode of Code Geass were released.

The average for the entire series was 5.02%.

This is a figure that people in the industry think is extremely outrageous, but upon closer thought, it is within the normal range.

After all, Xia Yan's influence in the industry is so great with the achievements of the two historical works Madoka Magica and Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

There are many true fans and many black fans.

And no matter what kind of fans, they will contribute to the ratings. After all, some people who want to blacken this work must watch it to find the black spots.

A group of news media in the animation field collectively have topics.

After all, the animations in this spring season are really bad, the popularity is not high, and the enthusiasm of animation fans is also average. Many bloggers, video accounts and some official media in the animation area have seen a sharp drop in traffic.

Although the summer season this year is the same, there are not many big-budget animations broadcast, but Code Geass is enough.

【The first episode of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion was aired, with a rating of 5.02%, setting a record for the first broadcast ratings in the history of Dragon Country animation. 】

【Can the explosive opening ratings of Code Geass be maintained? The author is quite skeptical, after all, the plot of the first episode of Code Geass is a bit inexplicable, and the plot feels very crowded. 】

【The first broadcast ratings of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion were 5.02, and millions of people on the Jiuxiao Forum gave it a high score of 9.5. From this moment on, the king of the animation industry has returned again. 】

【The annual best TV animation of the whole year of last year is being hotly selected. If nothing unexpected happens, Cyberpunk Edgewalker will win the gold award. If this goal is achieved, Xia Yan will be the only creator in Dragon Country history to win the gold award for this award for two consecutive years. Now that Code Geass has a sky-high ratings, can it be said that as long as Code Geass maintains the current popularity of ratings, this year's best TV animation selection will also fall into the bag? Does Xia Yan have a chance to win three consecutive golds in this award for the first time? ]

[Xia Yan is a god! His new animation breaks the ratings record of Dragon Country TV animation. From this day on, Xia Yan's title as the first person in Dragon Country animation is completely established! The standards of Dragon Country for judging a work in various fields are almost all broken by his works. His achievements in the animation industry are unprecedented and will never be surpassed. ]

[Refreshing the historical records of Dragon Country animation industry again, will "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" have a chance to break the ratings and sales records of Madoka Magica and become the new god of Dragon Country animation? ]

[This quarter, only "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" can make a sound in the animation industry! There is no previous competition among heroes, no exciting ratings war. Code Geass's ratings broke 5 in the first broadcast, while his competitors in the same period are still struggling to break 3. ]

[The popularity of Code Geass's first broadcast has shown the trend of a phenomenal animation. Giant robots, superpowers, District 11, world war. In just the first 20 minutes of the first episode, Xia Yan presented a tense, exciting, and dangerous world view of the work. 】

For two consecutive days, a group of animation people in Longguo praised the rebellious Lelouch in all aspects. 【6】【9】【s】【h】【u】【x】【.】【c】【o】【m】

After all, the lessons learned from the past are full of blood and tears.

When Xia Yan's Magic Circle was broadcast, the early plot was boring. Those animation people and media who criticized this work were later criticized by Xia Yan's fans. They are still the joke of the industry.

When Cyberpunk Edgewalker was released, many media received money from the three major animation companies and criticized this work awkwardly, and their faces were swollen in the end.

The plot of the first episode of Lelouch did not develop the main plot. If you say that the setting is attractive, it's okay, but it's a bit awkward to praise how amazing the plot is.

However, these media don't care about anything and just praise it first, so as to avoid being whipped by Xia Yan's fans later if they say something wrong.

Xia Yan's Xia Tang Animation Production Company has produced several animations, and the launch of Lelouch of the Legend was the smoothest.

Competitors in the same period, public opinion, ratings, ratings, and industry reviews.

All of them were excellent.

This situation also made the more than 200 people in Xia Tang Animation Production Company under Xia Yan feel relieved.

When Xia Yan came to the company that day, he could clearly feel that the sense of depression that everyone had been tense for half a year disappeared.

The air was full of a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Xia Yan sat alone in the office, checking the animation script for the new episode of Lelouch of the Rebellion that he had created.

He flipped through the various information data of the works submitted by his subordinates and the company's plans and arrangements for the next period of time.

Nowadays, the company run by Xia Yan is constantly expanding its staff, and it will not be long before it will officially break through the 300-person mark.

In terms of the number of people, it is a medium-sized animation production company in the animation industry of Longguo, but in terms of creative strength, Xia Yan's company is completely at the top level in the industry.

After all, although the company does not have many people, they are basically middle-level and high-end talents poached from other companies, and they are all dealing with the core business of animation production.

Xia Yan has a special second-level cooperative company to handle the low-level draftsmen and some repetitive mechanical work.

Of course, this is also the result of Xia Yan's own choice. If the company has more grassroots employees, he, the chairman, will have even less time to create works.

But in fact, recently, he also feels that he has reached a limit.

The Lelouch animation, the Hunter x Hunter manga, and the Sword Art Online novels, these three works have squeezed almost all of his energy.

"What's wrong? I saw your expression as soon as I came in."

Tang Yin, carrying a small bag of cakes, walked quietly into Xia Yan's office and closed the door.

"I suddenly feel that human power is limited. Even I will be unable to do what I want." Xia Yan smiled bitterly.

Unable to do what I want?

Tang Yin's eyes widened at first, and her expression was curious, but she immediately realized that Xia Yan must be talking about work.

"So?"

"The company's work arrangement! Now there are nearly 300 people in the company. It's too wasteful to all come to produce an animation of Lelouch. But I don't have the energy to create new works." Xia Yan shook his head.

"So" Tang Yin pondered for a moment and asked carefully.

"Xia Yan, what is your goal in the animation industry?"

"Is it to create a great animation production company. Or to be a great animation creator?"

"Is there a difference? These two are not contradictory, right?" Xia Yan heard curiously.

"If you just want to be a great animation creator, then you have already done it. The achievements of Madoka Magica and Cyberpunk Edgewalker should not be broken by another creator. Longguo is no longer the time when children and teenagers dominated the country 20 years ago. In recent years, there are fewer and fewer children. From now on, your animation records of Madoka Magica and Edgewalker will basically not be broken."

Tang Yin picked up a piece of cake with a plastic fork and handed it to Xia Yan's mouth. Xia Yan took a half bite, and Tang Yin ate it herself.

"As for if you want to set up a great animation production company. For example, the scale and influence surpass the three major animation companies in Longguo today, then all the business and works created by this company will definitely not be created by you." Tang Yin said seriously with a little cream left at the corners of her mouth.

"If the scale, number of people, and number of works produced are not up to par, it is difficult to call it great."

"So. If you want to run the company on a larger scale, the company's business direction, in addition to your works, you have to let them produce some original animations themselves."

Xia Yan thought for a while after hearing this.

"Indeed, you are right. I only have two hands, and even if I work myself to death, I can't create such a large number of animation scripts that can give hundreds of people enough tasks every day." Xia Yan smiled bitterly.

In recent years, Xia Tang Animation has basically been revolving around Xia Yan's works, just like a large personal animation creator studio, concentrating all its energy and creating wholeheartedly for Xia Yan's works.

But it is obvious that although the company's hit animations are constantly being born, its overall influence in the industry is still not as good as the three major animation companies.

It's because the scale is not big enough.

"So what do you think?" Tang Yin fed Xia Yan another piece of cake.

"Do you want to expand the scale of the company?"

"Of course." Xia Yan smiled.

"I'm only 21 years old, and I'm not ready to stop here. Anyway, now the time, the place, the people and the people are all in my favor, so there's no reason to stop."

Tang Yin was very concerned when she talked to Xia Yan about the company's business affairs.

Half an hour later, the two finally skipped this topic.

"Now my junior year is almost over, and there is only one year left in my college life. I feel quite nervous."

"Nervous?" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan.

"Before graduation, my goal is to become the first person in the industry in Longguo in both comics and novels!"

Tang Yin paused after hearing this.

Now Xia Yan's Sword Art Online has the highest sales volume among all serialized novels on the market, and the sixth in history.

As for comics, Initial D is in the top ten in history, and the first volume of Hunter x Hunter will be released soon.

"Why? Are you so obsessed with the time node of graduation?" Tang Yin asked in confusion.

"Because, it's cool to be the first in various fields of Longguo's two-dimensional industry when you are a student! Even if you are the first in an industry at the age of seventy or eighty, what does it matter? It's meaningless. You have to achieve success as early as possible." Xia Yan heard this and smiled proudly.

"." Tang Yin.

"I'm talking about you. Only in this kind of issue, I feel that you are like a teenager of your age." Tang Yin suddenly laughed.

"Time flies so fast!"

"The first time I saw you, you were in the second year of high school. Now, your third year is about to end."

"But you are still as pretty and cute as when I first saw you." Xia Yan also flattered his girlfriend at this time.

After Tang Yin rolled her eyes at Xia Yan, the smile on the corner of her mouth could not hide her inner joy.

In the afternoon, Xia Yan organized a meeting of the company's senior management.

The next day, the people below had compiled a list of talents that needed to be tapped for the company's new round of expansion and reported it in a table.

After all, Xia Yan is not interested in training new people. He now has 200 to 300 million yuan in the company's account. Just be direct. If the company wants to expand, just poach people.

Two days later, the first volume of Hunter x Hunter was released in Longguo.

The plot of Hunter x Hunter is now progressing to the fourth round of the Hunter Exam. A group of assessment academies are fighting for numbers on a deserted island. This is also the most exciting plot in the Hunter Exam chapter.

Obviously, fans who have been following this comic until now can also feel the real fun of this comic.

Nowadays, the black fans on the Internet have almost disappeared, and fans gather together to discuss the details of the plot.

A good atmosphere of the comic community has been shaped in the serialization of works in the past few months.

This atmosphere also has a huge positive effect on the sales of the comic books of Hunter x Hunter.

However, with Xia Yan's current position in the industry, fans and the media will not be too surprised by the sky-high sales of the Hunter x Hunter books.

This is just like Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai in the parallel world. After their new animated films are released, even if the results are slightly worse, the public will have enough tolerance for them.

But even if their works achieve an excellent result after the release, or even break the box office record, the public will not be too surprised. After all.

Such results are in line with their fame.

The sales of Hunter x Hunter comic books, the sales of Sword Art Online novels, and the ratings of the Lelouch of the Rebellion animation are all the top data in the current two-dimensional industry, but fans will not be too surprised.

Because their creator is Xia Yan!

A few days later, the second episode of Lelouch of the Rebellion was broadcast.

This episode is the first time that the pure hero Lelouch showed off his skills in front of fans.

Although we don’t know what the principle of the power he got from the green-haired girl is.

But it is obvious that he has gained the absolute power to command the other party’s behavior as long as he looks directly into the other party’s eyes.

Street fighting between the island country rebel organization and the imperial army.

Then

Under the interrogation of the "Nightmare" operator supported by the imperial army, Lelouch was quick-witted and asked the other party to open the cockpit of the robot, and successfully ordered the other party to transfer the driving rights of "Nightmare" to him through the power of his eyes.

In this way, Lelouch, as a spy of the Bunitania Imperial Army, not only seized the enemy’s weapons, but also mixed into the enemy’s command system. After learning the location of the teammates of the Bunitania Army shown on the radar, he deduced the commander’s intention based on this information, and then contacted the people of the island country rebel army through wireless calls... A small-scale mecha street battle between the two sides in the city was launched under his command.

Of course, in fact, many details of such command cannot stand scrutiny, and it seems that Lelouch is deliberately portrayed as a kind of wise monster.

But as for animation, fans themselves are not in the mentality of watching historical official history. Some side details, if they are not particularly serious fans, most people will not care.

And the purpose of Lelouch in this episode was finally revealed at the end of the second episode, which was to take advantage of the battle between the rebel army and the imperial army to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to get close to the third prince Clovis.

In this episode, Lelouch's middle school, smart, and the whole work that makes the audience feel refreshed are once again strengthened.

Of course, just like in the parallel world, at this time, many people from the Dragon Country jumped out and said that the plot in Lelouch could not stand scrutiny, and the way to show Lelouch's intelligence was to give the villain an aura of intelligence reduction.

But

Who cares about this kind of thing?

It is indeed a bit outrageous for a teenager who has just experienced life and death to behave like this.

Lelouch's enemy, as the ruling leader of a colony, the third prince of the empire, is protected by tens of thousands of troops. It is a bit exaggerated that he is so brainless that the enemy sneaks into his place.

However, these plots are not real, but animation. The most important thing for animation and other entertainment works is fun. Logic? Of course it is best to have it, but if it conflicts with fun, logic must give way.

Otherwise, in the parallel world, Naruto, the son of the fourth generation Hokage who saved the village, was hostile to the whole village. In One Piece, the four emperors Shanks had their arms bitten off by the king of the coastal sea

These plots are also illogical. Will it affect the popularity of these works?

The plots of the first and second episodes of Lelouch also cannot withstand your scrutiny with a magnifying glass, but this does not affect the huge discussion in the animation industry after the second episode was broadcast.
