A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

In the new week, Xia Yan completely entered into violent work mode. ]|I{•------» «------•}I|[

Because it was already the second semester of his junior year, there were basically no classes in school, so Xia Yan had to cooperate with Beizhou comics, Liuli novels and Xia Tang animation.

Every day and every time period, Xia Yan tries his best to arrange his work location in the Magic City. However, holding meetings with fans and reporters during the day and going on TV live broadcasts at night to promote his works have become Xia Yan's daily routine.

Soon, another new week ends.

In the fourth episode of Lelouch the Rebellion, Lelouch's childhood friend was framed by the evil Bunitania Empire army for helping him take the blame, and was about to be executed in public as the prisoner who killed the third prince Clovis. .

Of course, whether it was out of anger at his childhood friend who was forced to take the blame for him, or a sense of responsibility that one person should take responsibility for his actions, Lelouch would definitely not be able to let Suzaku be killed because of him.

So episode 4

Lelouch gathered Kallen and a group of island rebels who wanted to resist Bunitania's rule, under the code name zero.

Then

This is the moment when the real charm of Lelouch’s animation is revealed.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, Lelouch in this episode is very charming. He brainwashed a group of island rebels, including Kallen, and then tricked them into using them as his pawns to rescue Suzaku.

But similarly, many people feel that Lelouch's plot scenes in this episode are too mediocre.

Before Suzaku was executed, just intercept the execution site.

The black cloak, the round dark helmet mask, and the exaggerated poss when he appeared in front of the TV

The man who called himself Zero wore a helmet and announced to the whole world that he was the one who killed Clovis. Moreover, he also used his eyes and abilities to control the local commander and let the other party order him and others to include him. Suzaku escapes

Again, if you examine the plot in detail, you will always find some loose ends. You will feel that Lelouch's enemies are not too smart and can be easily fooled by him.

But the key is that in the process of watching

That immersive experience.

A high school student, relying on the power he gained to control others, jumped repeatedly in the cracks of the world's overall situation, rubbing against the so-called big countries and the so-called class rulers.

For a large group of two-dimensional fans in Dragon Kingdom, this kind of plot is designed to suit their appetite.

In the eyes of two-dimensional fans, the real world is just a bunch of excuses, but even so, no one can shake this world of excuses.

But Lelouch did what most two-dimensional fans wanted to do in this work.

It is very clear, saying "no" to the rules of the world!

Some people will feel embarrassed when they see Lelouch's various actions in the fourth episode of the animation.

But the vast majority of animation fans completely fell in love with this animation during the viewing process.

After this episode aired, the online reviews of this animation were polarized.

"Holy crap, what kind of retarded animation? Does it treat the world and political games as a game? Why do so many people watch this kind of animation?"

"If you don't like it, don't watch it. I think it looks good!"

"Lelouch is so handsome, that's right. His black cape and tights are even better than his poses. It's so funny!"

"The old thief is really a genius. He inherently knows what type of animation I like to watch. Lelouch is so handsome!"

"Blow it up, reality! I just like to see a middle-aged boy like Lelouch turn the weird ideals in his mind of changing and controlling the world into reality."

"This is animation! In comparison, Davidson, the protagonist of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, exploded. Look what Lelouch did? Since reality is uncomfortable and the world will not change, then he To change the world.”

"Old thief, he is really a genius!"

"But, although I also enjoyed watching this animation, don't you really feel embarrassed? Lelouch's tight-fitting clothes made him move so much that it really made my toes squeeze out of the three rooms and one living room. . Maybe I have a strong sense of substitution. It’s really shameful to completely substitute myself as Lelouch in front of a large audience and broadcast by the world’s media!”

"Hahaha, I can only say that you are not used to it yet. This is the feeling when watching animation. I also have a strong sense of substitution. But after I stepped into Lelouch's shoes, I found that the plot made my skin crawl. I just felt Lelouch is so handsome."

"I can only say that the protagonist of Lao Zei's animation has a stronger sense of presence and charm than any of his previous works."

"But don't you think Lelouch is scheming a lot of the time, which is a bit forced? Of course, if I were in his position, I wouldn't be able to come up with any stratagem, but all his actions are like dancing on the tip of a knife. Not only his teammates To cooperate, you have to cooperate with the enemy, it feels so weird.”

"That's why this animation has the setting of Lelouch's eye power. It's easy for teammates to cooperate, but the enemy doesn't cooperate? Then use the eye power to make him cooperate."

"Furthermore, for an animation, the wars and strategies in it do not really have to be realistic, as long as there are no logical errors in the process of watching it. You really have to look at these works with hindsight, and then proceed Criticism, then you will never find good anime in your life.”

"Anyway, I don't understand what you are talking about. I can only be sure that the animation Lelouch is very attractive to me now. I can't wait for the fifth episode to be aired next week."

"But many people say that the character design of Lelouch is a bit awkward and too zhongyu. People who like this animation must be students who know nothing."

"Don't care what those black fans say. Anyway, animation is not Dragon Country currency. Everyone likes it. Just follow it if you like it. It doesn't matter what others think. Besides, what's wrong with zhongyu? Wanting to change the world and taking action is zhongyu, it's awkward? Then when A social animal who works 996 hours a day, repeats the same work for 40 years, and then hangs himself on the wall when he is old is a smart person? Come on, different mindsets will give you different feelings when watching the same work. "

"That's right. I still have light in my heart, so I resonate with Lelouch. Some people can't change the world by themselves, so they just lie down. But when you see others muster up the courage to change the world in anime works, you have to be jealous. Just ignore it."

The fourth episode of Lelouch of the Rebellion has an average audience rating of 5.29%. Although the ratings of this work have been growing slowly since its launch, it is indeed growing.♦♦  ♦♦

In addition, since the broadcast of this animation, there have been endless quarrels among the animation audience groups.

People who like Lelouch think he is handsome and charming.

Those who don't like him think he is just a middle school boy who has gained power and has childish thoughts.

But generally speaking

in the audience group, the number of the former is far greater than the latter.

There is a wise saying in the two-dimensional industry in the parallel world.

People who look for reality in the two-dimensional world must be sick!

In Dragon Country, most anime fans are born knowing this truth.

You would never compare the command level of Lelouch with those famous war generals in history. An anime screenwriter would not want to be harsh on his works. Is the level reached to this extent? Isn't that funny?

April ended quietly like this, and time has come to May.

Everyone is now basically clear about the response of the animation market in the past month.

The ratings of the animation Lelouch are basically hovering in the range of 5%.

The comments of those black fans have basically no negative impact on the spread of this work, and

After a month of broadcasting, the influence of the animation Lelouch is also continuing to spread.

In the past few months, the promotional posters of Cyberpunk Edgewalker can be seen everywhere in the two-dimensional commercial streets of major first-tier cities in Dragon Country, and now they have been quickly replaced with Lelouch of the Rebellion.

Judging from the data, Xia Yan is quite satisfied with the performance of Lelouch of the Rebellion in the first month.

Xia Yan is not so naive as to think that as long as his work is broadcast, it will naturally break the 6% ratings like Madoka Magica and Edgewalker.

For the early plot of Lelouch, it is already very good to be able to stabilize at the 5% ratings stage.

In early May, the fifth episode of Lelouch was broadcast.

The plot of this episode is basically centered around two important characters, Lelouch's friend Suzaku, and.Lelouch's half-sister Euphemia, an important character in the first season.

As for the entire work of Lelouch of the Rebellion, Xia Yan personally feels that it can only be regarded as a masterpiece until the late first season, when Euphemia's death plot.

The plot before this can only be regarded as a masterpiece!

Of course, in the animation of the fifth episode of Lelouch, in addition to introducing how these two important characters met and became friends.

The plot is still paving the way for the development of the main line.

However, at the end of this episode, a character who was supposed to die, the green-haired girl who appeared in the first episode but had no news since then, appeared.

As the suspense and foreshadowing at the end of this episode, she aroused the emotions of Longguo animation fans to the highest level.

Similarly, in this episode of animation, "stories", one of the great BGMs of the animation "Code Geass", also appeared.

As another anime interlude written and composed by Xia Yan, Xia Yan's fans pushed the download volume of this song on the music download website to the highest level the day after this episode was broadcast.

In midsummer, the weather in the Magic City area was hot. At home, Xia Yan, Tang Yin, Song Lingjun and Mo Ran were all wearing short sleeves and sitting together eating watermelon.

Mo Ran is already a senior and will graduate completely in a month or two. This week, she is passionately preparing for the graduation thesis defense.

But like Xia Yan, she has a special situation. Xia Yan and her are both top cartoonists in the history of Longguo comics. Even Magic City University will consider the social influence of the two.

To put it bluntly, as long as the two are not the kind of people who directly plagiarize their graduation thesis and know nothing, it is not Mo Ran's turn to postpone graduation.

The school also didn't want to be bullied online by fans of Mo Ran and Xia Yan's comics.

So Mo Ran was relatively not as depressed as her classmates.

"Xia Yan, it's already sold 14 million copies!"

Mo Ran looked at the news from the comics company about the current sales of the first volume of Hunter x Hunter in Dragon Country, and her face was full of joy.

"So fast? It's only been three weeks, right?" Xia Yan also looked at his phone, and he also received a message.

"This should be the fastest speed in the history of Dragon Country's comics industry." Tang Yin also knew something about the comics industry, and asked uncertainly.

"From the time when sales exceeded 6 million, to 7 million, and now to 14 million copies, Hunter Full Time has always been the fastest-selling first volume in the Dragon Kingdom comic industry," Mo Ran said. A piece of pride.

He secretly looked at Xia Yan and found that Xia Yan didn't seem too concerned about the data, so he asked curiously.

"Xia Yan, why don't you look particularly excited?"

"Excited?" Xia Yan paused, then smiled.

"There's nothing to be excited about. After all, Initial D's average volume sales have exceeded 24 million. Now Hunter is still on the road to rise. When will its sales exceed Initial D's and even reach the top of the dragon list?" Being No. 1 in the country, I will naturally be excited.”

"There is also Sword Art Online. It is not far from reaching the top now. Maybe, it will be within this year."

After Xia Yan said these words, the scene suddenly calmed down for two seconds.

Xia Yan's expectations for Hunter, Sword Art Online, and the three popular Lelouch works in Dragon Kingdom are well known to everyone, and Xia Yan does not hide his performance goals for these works.

But Xia Yan is constantly on the verge of achieving the number one goal in history, which is scary.

"So Xia Yan, are you very confident that the average sales volume of Sword Art Online will reach the top in history?" Song Lingjun, who had been silent for a long time, finally asked in a low voice after hearing Xia Yan talk about the novel industry.

She has been working hard in the novel industry, and now her novel "Juejie" has been serialized for more than a year, and her popularity is ranked second and occasionally third in Liuli Publishing House.

The average sales volume of novels also fluctuates to 15 million copies.

Song Lingjun can clearly feel that this result is the limit of Juejie. The gap between it and Sword Art Online is, to be honest, very big.

In fact, in the five years she has known Xia Yan, although she has been chasing Xia Yan as her goal, she just

Recently, I have been feeling a sense of powerlessness from time to time.

Song Lingjun is confident that his next work will be better than Juejie, and the next work will be better than the next one.

Until one day, the average volume of her works exceeded 18 million, 20 million, and even ranked among the top ten light novels in history.

Even first!

Whether he can do it or not is one thing, but Song Lingjun has always had this confidence and goal.

However, she was really confused recently when facing Xia Yan.

She has made ten steps forward, and Xia Yan has made twenty steps forward. Although she is growing, Xia Yan is growing faster.

When can we catch up?

Now, Xia Yan is the number one genius in the light novel world, but not many people in the Dragon Kingdom know about it?

Among light novel writers of his generation, Song Lingjun is the well-deserved second in terms of his work achievements.

All the light covered it up.

and

Even if she really creates a novel that transcends Sword Art Online a few years, even ten, or more than ten years later, what level of work will Xia Yan create at that time?

That is to say, she, Song Lingjun, is quite stubborn. If anyone else had targeted Xia Yan, she would have given up long ago.

"Judging from the current situation, after the serialization of the GGO chapter of Sword Art Online, the sales volume of this work will reach the top of Dragon Kingdom, which is a high probability event." Xia Yan looked at Song Lingjun's expression and sighed inwardly, but still said truthfully.

Because he has a good relationship with Song Lingyun, he actually feels psychological pressure when facing Song Lingyun. The main reason is that he knows very well that Song Lingyun's goals and ideas for him are unlikely to be realized after all.

Parallel World The cultural wealth of a world cannot be surpassed by just one person.

But looking at Song Lingjun, like a moth flying into a flame, insisting on dying in his own fire with a lot of cultural works from another world as fuel, wasting a lot of time and energy, and ultimately ending up in failure, Xia Yan was really heartbroken. Can't bear it.

"I tell you, Song Lingjun, sometimes you should not focus all your attention on novels!" At this time, Xia Yan couldn't help but say that the only area where she could let go of her career ambitions was love.

"Why not focus on the novel?" Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan and responded.

"You are already a junior in college, and your college career will be over soon. Have you never thought about dating a boyfriend and falling in love? It is a shame to be single for four years in college." Xia Yan said.

As soon as these words came out, Mo Ran and Song Lingjun looked uncomfortable.

Especially Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan with a speechless expression.

She, Mo Ran, has been single for four years in college, and now she only has one month left to graduate.

"Even if I devote twenty-four hours to novel creation, the chance of surpassing you is so slim. How can I be half-hearted." Song Lingjun took a deep breath and said.

"Besides, what do you think I'm doing? Aren't you also single? You also put all your time and energy into your two-dimensional career." Song Lingjun said.

Now, it was Xia Yan and Tang Yin's turn to look unnatural.

The two looked at each other.

"Xia Yan, your relationship with Sister Tang Yin is so weird lately! Why do you two always start making eye contact while talking for no apparent reason." At this time, Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan and Tang Yin suspiciously.
