A perfect life starting from a light novel writer
Chapter 317: End of the Year and Reaching the Summit
If you are a reader who has read hundreds of chapters of Hunter in one go, and suddenly see a Nen ability system inserted in the content of dozens of chapters, you may feel a little abrupt, but basically, if you read on, you will be immediately attracted by this setting.
But Hunter x Hunter is in a continuous state in the Dragon Country comics industry. As for the content of the weekly comics, to use a more vulgar metaphor, the plot is like constipation, and only a little bit can be squeezed out in a week.
Moreover, a single volume has only been released in four volumes, but the average sales volume has exceeded 23 million copies, making it one of the top ten works in the history of the Dragon Country comics industry.
Its combat power system can only emerge as a concept at this time when the comics have been serialized for a year?
Xia Yan, you seem to be creating a very rare comic work.
In the latest comic plot, because Xiaojie and Killua came to the Sky Arena and met people who used strange powers here, the veil of Nen ability was gradually unveiled.
But the comic fans were a little stupid and felt uneasy.
After all, this is too abrupt. After following a normal-level adventure comic for a year, superpower elements are suddenly added. This is just like watching the TV series of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in a parallel world, and the screenwriter suddenly sets up some magicians and witches to appear in the plot. It is indeed very sudden.
Of course, fans must believe in Xia Yan's creative ability, but the sense of uneasiness cannot be completely eliminated.
"So this comic is actually a supernatural battle comic?"
"Damn, it's been serialized for dozens of chapters, and the combat system has just appeared? Isn't it too late?"
"In fact, I think the previous plot is quite good. Xiaojie, Kurapika, Killua, Leorio, just this kind of ordinary people's adventure story is also very good. Why do you have to come up with some kind of mind ability?"
"Well, but in fact it's not completely without signs, right? For example, during the hunter exam, didn't brother Killua also use the kind of attack that would bring strong mental pressure to Killua? Now it seems that the old thief laid the foreshadowing at that time."
"I thought it was just that brother Killua was too perverted and scared Killua."
"The main thing is that the eye killing and mental oppression are easy to understand. This setting of mind and qi is very simple. As soon as it came out, I felt that something was wrong with the plot. ”
“What’s wrong?”
“It feels disconnected. Everyone thought that this was a boy’s adventure comic about ordinary people’s fighting power world before. Now it’s a bit strange to have a superpower like Nen.”
“I guarantee here that Xia Yan’s new setting of Nen power will be the failure of this comic. Its popularity will definitely collapse later.”
“It’s obvious that Xia Yan has run out of ideas for this comic, so he quickly came up with a superpower setting. The subsequent plot has become a boring routine of fighting and upgrading, fighting and upgrading again.”
“It’s been so many years, and you haters are still here. I’m too lazy to refute you. Just be happy.”
“We comic fans are just discussing whether Lao Zei’s setting will make the plot more exciting. You haters are just... The topic has already been brought to a state of exhaustion, which is ridiculous. "
"The old thief has won over all practitioners in the two-dimensional industry with more than a dozen works in five years, but he can't win over the mouths of these haters."
"A comic that has only been serialized for a year, the average sales volume has reached the top ten in history. In the eyes of haters, they can actually say such ridiculous words as exhaustion of ideas. I really don't know what the haters think? I am dying of laughter."
"But putting aside the stupid remarks of these haters, the addition of this telepathy system to the manga Hunter is indeed quite risky. Many comic readers have already adapted to the daily battles of this comic before, and now it has become a superpower system, which may cause readers to leave. ♚♞ ♦♦"
"It depends on the strength of the old thief. To put it bluntly, even if he makes a time-travel plot with Gon and Killua, It is not impossible to travel back to the ancient mythological world to adventure. What elements and settings are not important, it all depends on the plot. "
"Look at the performance of the plot of this comic in the next few weeks. I hope that Lao Zei will have a hot spot. Indeed, after the Hunter exam, the plot is a bit bland. There is no fighting in the whole process of going to the Zoldyck family to find Killua. It is just introducing how perverted Killua's family is. The plot of this chapter is good, but it is not exciting enough. And doesn't it say that the Hunter Passport is very powerful? I hope that the plot of Xiaojie and others using the Hunter identity to show off will be described later. "
"Believe Lao Zei, he dares to suddenly throw out this setting in the middle of the comic serialization. He must have a hand."
For several days in a row, due to the high popularity of the Hunter comic, the appearance of the plot of the Hunter's telepathy ability has also caused a wide range of discussions.
At one time, the discussion was as hot as the fake younger brother Lolo in the Lelouch plot.
However, the animation of Lelouch is really starting to enter the later plot, but strictly speaking, the current Sky Competition Tower plot of Hunter is the sign that Xiaojie has become a novice village.
Although Xia Yan has tried to avoid appearing in front of the media recently, he still pays attention to online public opinion, and the company also has a special department to deal with these. A large group of people in Longguo are jealous of Xia Yan and spread black comments on the Internet. Xia Yan has spent a lot of public relations fees in the past two years.
However, Xia Yan himself thinks that these recent discussions about Hunter are a good thing, as they provide free publicity.
Other cartoonists would feel uneasy when they come up with these new settings, and change the plot settings as soon as public opinion changes, but Xia Yan definitely doesn't have such worries.
He even secretly allocated a large sum of money to promote the hunter.
The real power of the Hunter manga can only begin after the telekinesis ability is set in the Sky Tower drama chapter.
October has passed by in a flash, and Lelouch Season 2 has aired its fourth episode without even realizing it.
The plots of these episodes generally introduce that after the fiasco a year ago, Lelouch was used as bait by his father, his memory was wiped away, and his false brother Lolo was placed beside him to prepare to pull out CC.
After Lelouch awakened his memory, he pretended to be stupid for Nunnally who was under house arrest, pretending that he had not recovered his memory.
The plot progressed relatively slowly, so the ratings data did not improve much.
Originally, the final episode of Lelouch's first season had a ratings of 6.49%, which was only one step away from Magic Circle's historical record of 6.51%.
However, the first four episodes of the second season failed to break the highest record of the first season. Of course, the basic popularity of the work is here, and it also did not fall below the 6% ratings bottom line.
However, this animation is still a well-deserved ratings masterpiece for hundreds of TV stations in the Dragon Kingdom in today’s TV station market.
However, it is different from everyone's imagination that Lelouch's work has been overwhelmingly popular since the second season was aired, surpassing the Magic Circle record.
Fans are also very anxious. Magic Circle can be said to be Xia Yan's truly independent animation in the animation industry, but it is at its peak when it debuts. This does sound a bit unpleasant. This is also one of the few Xia Yan's black fans now. Something that can be used to make fun of Xia Yan.
But plot-wise, in the early stages of Lelouch Season 2, it completely became Infernal Affairs.
The shocking feeling of the plot is much worse than that in the latter part of the first season, and it is normal for the ratings not to increase.
In the current animation plot, Lolo, the fake brother sent by the emperor to monitor Lelouch, fell into Lelouch's scheme even though he was extremely eager for family and peace, even though he suspected that Lelouch had really recovered his memory.
This geass ability causes other people's brain activity to be suspended, creating a terrifying enemy that creates a time-suspended effect on the consciousness level. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎
But what Lelouch used was that even though his memory was false, his feelings would not be false. He regarded Lolo as his biological brother and treated her the same as Nunnally. It was completely fake. Even as the plot progressed, it was revealed that Lelouch had recovered. Zero's memory is still trapped in Lelouch's spider web, and he completely betrayed the Bunitania Empire for Lelouch.
There is nothing wrong with the plot, and the taste is right, but there is a certain gap between it and the shock brought about by Euphemia's death.
After entering November, another two weeks have passed, and the plot continues to revolve around Lelouch, and the Bunitania alliance is going on.
However, during this period, the first season bd of the Lelouch of the Rebellion animation has been released to the sixth volume.
In the field of TV stations, Lelouch Season 2 is the undisputed king of this year. In the field of animation peripherals, various elemental products that appeared in Lelouch Season 1 have flooded the market, squeezing the market share of other works to the extreme.
Even Xia Yan's Xia Tang Animation Production Company, after the income data for October was released, reached an astonishing 240 million in that month alone, relying on Lelouch's various Dragon Kingdom plus overseas copyright income.
In terms of company size, Xia Tang Animation Production Company may not be the largest in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, but in terms of revenue and profit data, it has directly surpassed the three major animation production companies in Dragon Kingdom. Just last month, it reached the top of the industry.
And for cooperation in novel adaptations, comic adaptations, game image adaptations, and even TV series and movie adaptations, Dragon Kingdom has relevant leading companies coming to it.
Xia Yan's current traffic in Dragon Kingdom is the highest when looking at the two-dimensional industry and the entertainment industry. It would not be a loss to seek cooperation based on his traffic alone, not to mention Lelouch's current popularity and status in the industry.
Xia Yan doesn't have such a strict restriction here. If an IP wants to become big, it must not be cherished. It is much faster to develop it together with everyone than to slowly make a cake by yourself.
Therefore, although Xia Yan did not put much effort into promoting his works during this period, things came one after another when it came to developing the commercial value of his works.
In the same period, the full-time hunter’s sky competition tower chapter.
Finally, part of the settings for Nen ability were revealed.
On the 200th floor of the Arena Tower, the popular villain Hisoka used his thoughts to stop the two from climbing the stairs.
Gon and Killua learned the basic use of telekinesis in twenty-four hours, passed the passage to ascend the throne despite Hisoka's obstruction, and officially became members of the 200-level forbidden competitive fighters.
It is different from what some fans imagined that the plot would be split after the emergence of telekinesis.
After this setting was thrown out, it only took three weeks to wipe away the mood of hunter fans who originally felt that the plot was boring.
In the sky arena on the 250th floor, from the 200th floor onwards, the enemies are all telekinesis users who are proficient in fighting. Even Hisoka, the big boss who made everyone feel desperate in the early stage, is just a fighter in the arena.
The plot chapter about "beating the enemy guest" only tells the plot and world view, but does not have exciting battles, which eliminates the boredom brought by the readers.
Beizhou Comics official website, Xia Yan's comic fan group has been increasingly urging updates and discussing the work during this period.
Practitioners in the comic industry saw that Hunter's influence was still rising despite its current popularity, and thought it was only a temporary rise. However, Xia Yan himself knew that this was the real power of the Hunter comic.
Late November.
In Xia Yan's family, Mo Ran, who had graduated from school for half a year, had become a full-time hunter. This comic was the only active creator.
At this time, Xia Yan, the screenwriter, deliberately reduced the promotion of the work. As one of the co-authors, she could only cooperate with the arrangements of Beizhou Comics throughout the process, traveling domestically and even abroad.
After she returned from a business trip for half a month, Xia Yan, Tang Yin and Song Lingjun specially held a welcome ceremony for her.
Although she has graduated and is rich, she has never once proposed moving out of Xia Yan's villa or buying a house by herself.
Looking at her like that, as long as Xia Yan didn't drive her away, he had no intention of leaving.
"I envy you Xia Yan! You are your own boss, and the decision-making power is all in your hands. The comic club and the novel club will not force you." Mo Ran, who was wearing a light green dress, sighed while eating cake.
"The main series of works on the market now were all published by me a year or two ago. If I want to start planning any new works now, I will be very busy." Xia Yan said.
Xia Yan has already written the scripts for Hunter, Lelouch and Sword Art Online to a very late stage. Needless to say about Lelouch, the company's internal staff has already produced most of the plot for Lelouch's last episode.
Although Xia Yan has more work to discuss cooperation with external companies, these are just for bragging at the wine table, and Xia Yan is basically responsible for showing up. It is Tang Yin who negotiates terms with those people. Compared with before, he would go three or four times a day. It's much easier to fly around.
"So what about the graduation thesis design?" Mo Ran asked curiously.
"It's already November, has the topic started yet?"
"That's for sure..." Xia Yan's expression was slightly unnatural.
He was busy with work. To be honest, he was scolded by his supervisor several times because he was not too attentive in the direction of thesis design. However, overall, the progress of thesis design has not fallen behind.
only.
When I think about the defense in April or May next year, I feel very guilty.
Song Lingjun's graduate tutor and Xia Yan were the same.
A top student like Song Lingjun would spend half an hour every day doing random things. The instructor would just supervise the process and praise it, and even directly declared that this must be the best graduation thesis of this year.
Xia Yan himself had a lot of troubles.
It can only be said that Song Lingjun's talent in learning this thing is still the same as in high school, overwhelmingly strong.
She will most likely be among the outstanding graduates of this year's Department of Literature.
People are so irritating.
Of course, Xia Yan had this kind of problem because his work took up too much of his energy. If he could stay in school and concentrate on this matter like his classmates, there would be no need to worry about graduation.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Tang Yin cut a piece of cake with a knife and put it on Xia Yan's plate.
When Mo Ran and Song Lingjun saw this behavior, their eyes narrowed slightly, but it was hard to say anything. It was none of their business for couples to show affection.
"I'm thinking." Xia Yan smiled bitterly.
"It would be interesting if word gets out next year that the great cartoonist, novelist, and animation screenwriter from the Dragon Kingdom has failed to graduate."
"I thought you were worried about something." Mo Ran was speechless upon hearing this.
"As a person who is only one step away from becoming the number one cartoonist, novelist, and animation practitioner in the history of Dragon Kingdom, do you still need a diploma to prove yourself? Seriously speaking, there are many college comics in the comics industry who dropped out of school. Home"
"Well, if you feel troubled by Bi She, you can discuss it with me." Song Lingjun hesitated and said beside him.
"I will definitely do my best to help you."
"No, no need." Xia Yan paused.
He was just complaining. He didn't really think he wouldn't be able to graduate. It wasn't that serious.
After the previous conversation with Song Lingjun, the relationship between the two was as usual, but they already had some precautions in their hearts and it was necessary to keep a certain distance.
Song Lingjun didn't say much when he heard this. He just turned his head and looked at the gloomy sky outside the house.
It's already November, and the temperature in the Magic City area has begun to cool down.
"It's the last winter of my college career, how fast!" Song Lingjun's voice was soft, but there was a hint of loneliness in his tone.
"That's true." Xia Yan also felt a little sentimental.
"The worst thing is that after almost four years of college, I have been busy working for a long time and have almost no communication with my classmates. Until now, there are still some people in the class who I only think look familiar but can't recognize their names." Xia Yan said with a smile. .
"Okay, stop it. Sister Tang Yin and I, who have already graduated, are about to be aroused by you two." Mo Ran quickly stopped us.
"So, what will happen to us after graduation?" Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan, Tang Yin, and Mo Ran.
Xia Yan and the others moved slightly.
How long can the four of us living together as friends last?
Xia Yan and Tang Yin are lovers. Do Song Lingjun and Mo Ran still have a reason to continue to be Xia Yan's emotional lightbulb after graduating from college?
"Let's discuss this kind of topic again after graduation." Tang Yin looked at everyone's expressions and quickly came out to smooth things over.
"But when the time comes, when we really graduate, let's put down what we are doing together and go on a trip."
"Agree." Mo Ran's eyes lit up when he heard this.
She and Xia Yanqiang were tied up and had to cooperate with each other during the holidays.
Being a cartoonist, to be honest, is a very hard job among all kinds of professions. There is no day off all year round, and the pressure of online public opinion is huge. She dreams of having a holiday.
Of course, her income far exceeds her contribution, but she is naturally happy to have the opportunity to take a vacation.
"I have no objection." Song Lingyun pondered for a moment, glanced at Xia Yan and said.
"Then I must be fine." Xia Yan said.
Although Xia Yan is now a person who truly earns tens of millions of dollars a day, it is a bit of a waste of time to play, but it is a waste.
After all, people are not money-making machines.
"I hope we can be like now next year and the year after that." Mo Ran finally said looking out the window with an expectant expression.
When it comes to the topic of graduation, it will always be a little sentimental after all.
It had only been half a year since I graduated from my good friends in college. Most of them seemed to have been severely beaten by society. They either had no intention of contacting Mo Ran, or, when they did contact her, they just asked her to borrow tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions. Start a business, start a company or do something else.
For Xia Yan and three other friends, Mo Ran really hopes that the relationship between them can continue to be good like this.
The time has entered December smoothly
in december
In the comics and animation industry, the popularity of Lelouch and Hunters has basically remained stable, while Sword Art Online...
It made big news.
Due to the deliberate manipulation of Liuli Publishing House, in November, Sword Art Online did not release a new single volume for a whole month.
Therefore, the novel Sword Art Online, without the drag on the average volume sales after the release of the new single volume, finally...
It's on December 6th.
According to statistics from the National Book Organization, its average single volume sales reached 26.4 million.
This number may not seem like a big deal. Compared with last month’s average sales of Sword Art Online of 26.1 million copies, it only increased by a mere 300,000.
but
It is this 400,000 yuan that puts Sword Art Online at the top of the ranking in terms of average volume sales in the history of the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry.
Reach the top!
On that day, the entire Dragon Kingdom 2D world, major 2D forums and fan groups on the Internet were collectively occupied by this news.
