A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

But its influence was not over yet, and the turmoil caused by Lelouch's death continued for two weeks and still showed no sign of stopping.

In the ranking of popular characters in the animation industry, in the category of heroine, CC and Asuna are pretty much on par.

But in the men's football category, Lelouch is far ahead of Sword Art Online's second most popular male protagonist, Kirito, and is by far the leader.

Every day, there are tens of thousands of posts on the official website of Xia Yan's company. The comment area of ​​his creator account asked Xia Yan to release a third season or a theatrical version as soon as possible, and to post the subsequent experiences of popular characters such as CC, Nunnally, and Suzaku. come out.

In this regard, Xia Tang Company only responded ambiguously and said that fans would release a theatrical version of the animation as soon as possible.

It's just that fans want to see Lelouch reappear or CC and other characters' deeds after Lelouch's death, that would be difficult.

all in all.

This was the end of Lelouch.

Throughout the second season, its ratings remained above 6%, and the ratings of the finale set a record high in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

On the basis of the previous record holder Animation Magic Circle, the ratings increased by 0.4%.

It can be said that this is an animation that will definitely go down in the history of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, and for at least the next five years, Lelouch's influence and popularity will remain at a terrible level, giving Xia Xia every year. It brings hundreds of millions in revenue.

After the end of Lelouch, the atmosphere in the animation industry changed.

The Sword Art Online anime, which was suppressed by Lelouch Season 2 for a season, finally saw a surge in ratings.

Of course, the Lelouch animation can continue to suppress the Sword Art Online animation because the early plot of Sword Art Online is not that exciting.

But it happened to be just when Lelouch Season 2 ended

The plot of the Sword Art Online animation also enters the key plot of the sao chapter.

These things, one after another.

Although the Sword Art Online animation was not produced by Xia Yan, the industry will still attribute the influence of this animation to Xia Yan.

It can only be said that in the field of animation, Xia Yan's influence and suppression of the industry has been going on for a whole year.

From the time Lelouch was serialized to now, in one year, no animation has been able to challenge it. After the completion of Lelouch, Sword Art Online took over its hegemonic animation status.

And how long will Sword Art Online continue its dominance?

Anyway, from the current point of view, the novel chapter of Sword Art Online can support the animation production for at least two or three seasons, until the animation serialization of Sword Art Online is completed. perform

According to the plan announced by Xia Tang Company, works such as Slam Dunk, Tianyuan Breakthrough, Hua Monogatari, Steel Refining...

Will be released one after another.

In fact, the attentive colleagues of Xia Yan can already feel that in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, from the serialization of Lelouch last year, until

In the next one or two years.

Not surprisingly, they will all live in the shadow of Xia Yan's rule.

unless

Xia Yan's four new animations are all hits. Otherwise, any of these four new works can catch up with Lelouch and Sword Art Online animation's 80% viewership data.

Then there is a high probability that Xia Yan can basically complete the achievement of his animations reaching the top of the animation industry for such a continuous period of time.

This is definitely a record-setting data, so after the completion of Lelouch, interviews with animation programs on major TV stations in the Dragon Kingdom hyped up this kind of thing.

This is not Xia Yan paying them to praise him, but these people's spontaneous behavior.

In fact, essentially, this is a sign that Xia Yan is about to become a myth in the industry.

In terms of performance, Xia Yan's consecutive animations of Magic Circle, Edgewalker, Lelouch, and Sword Art Online have achieved more than the combined achievements of the animation works produced by the most popular and top animators in history in Dragon Kingdom in their lifetime. Too bright.

The disadvantage he suffered was that he was too young. In many animation companies, people of the same age as Xia Yan were just interns, doing odd jobs, serving tea, and being scolded by their bosses. They were a punching bag at the same time.

Therefore, it is difficult for many people in the industry to accept Xia Yan's achievements.

But now I have to admit it even if I don’t admit it.

At least for now, no animation industry practitioner in the history of Dragon Kingdom has a record comparable to Xia Yan.

And spread your thoughts a little bit about the future.

It is difficult for everyone to imagine that anyone can surpass Xia Yan.

The end of Lelouch and the popularity of Sword Art Online were actually the beginning of Xia Yan, the myth of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, and the trend of praising Xia Yan.

Xia Tang Animation did not miss any opportunity to make money. Together with Beizhou Comics and Liuli Books, the operating departments of the three companies, with Xia Yan's consent, were ready to find someone to write the articles and begin to publish Xia Yan's stories in the past five years since his debut. The experience is written as an inspirational biography of a young man from a bankrupt family who worked hard and reached the pinnacle of life.

And this thing has actually received enthusiastic support from millions of fans. They left comments that if a book is actually published, they will definitely buy it.

Fans are also very curious about Xia Yan. They want to know how such a genius can reach the top of the industry through more than ten works in five years.

And the situation has progressed to the present

People in the entire two-dimensional industry have noticed the trend of the entire industry.

"Xia Yan" is the largest IP in the two-dimensional industry today, not Xia Yan's works

There is a huge difference between the two.

In the parallel world and even the Dragon Kingdom plane, many first-line and even top two-dimensional creators have popular works and their popularity is average.

For example, who is the author of Steel Refining in the parallel world? Who is the author of Demon Slayer? Who is the screenwriter and director of Lelouch's animation? Who is the author of the comic strip Initial D? Who is the author of Fairy Tail and even Sword Art Online?

Many fans who like these works have no idea who the creators of these works are.

But in the parallel world, few fans of Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Your Name, and Dragon Ball don’t know who the creators of these works are.

That's the difference.

When the two-dimensional fans of Dragon Kingdom mention Lelouch and the Magic Circle, the first thing that comes to mind is Xia Yan.

Instead of being confused when the name Xia Yan was mentioned, he had to be reminded by others to find out that he was the author of xxx works.

There is still a big difference between the two.

Xia Yan himself can also feel the change in the industry's attitude towards him, and fans are beginning to think of themselves as a myth similar to the parallel world Hayao Miyazaki, or even higher.

But this in itself is the development direction he expects.

At the end of March, the company rented a venue and held a grand farewell party for Lelouch's ending. Twelve thousand lucky fans won the ticket and enjoyed Lelouch's performance from the first season to the end of the year. All the episodes, theme songs, EF song performances, and animation production highlights of the second season.

And in the end, Xia Yan, the chairman of the company, led by deputy director Tang Yin, and 300 people from the Lelouch production team collectively delivered a farewell speech for this work.

So far

Lelouch's myth serialization process comes to an end here.

Time has entered April.

In the company, Xia Yan is preparing to prepare two representative IP works of the parallel world island country, Pokémon and Doraemon, in advance, and Xia Yan has also started an IP incubation plan for them.

We have cooperated with some peripheral manufacturers and game manufacturers to start tentative designs and promote the relevant images of these two works.

Moreover, Xia Yan has also started a certain cooperation with Beizhou Comics for the work Doraemon. He is preparing to learn the development process of this work in the parallel world, starting with the comics.

Even if Xia Yan is planning to hold all the copyrights in his hands, and Beizhou Comics is not interested in children's publications like Doraemon, Xia Yan just wants to use Beizhou's distribution channels, and will not serialize it on it, and directly rely on Let’s talk about the influence of my name “Xia Yan”, publishing a comic book volume, and accumulating popularity bit by bit.

This process will definitely not take a few years to produce results. It may take ten or even twenty years for Xia Yan to make the influence of this work the same as in the parallel world.

In the same way, the same goes for Pokémon

This kind of world-class IP cannot be born overnight. Without ten or twenty years of continuous exposure, how could it have such popularity and influence?

But Xia Yan's biggest advantage is that he is young enough and has time to wait.

Doraemon's IP value in the parallel world is tens of billions of dollars, and Pokémon's IP value is hundreds of billions of dollars. As long as it can be reproduced in Dragon Kingdom

Let alone ten or twenty years, any longer time is still worth it.

And it’s not just these IPs that Xia Yan is preparing to incubate. In the future, he will set up several branches to slowly incubate IPs for Marvel series, Dragon Ball, and other series of works.

It's just that due to the current strength of his company and his limited energy, he can't do it all together, so he only acts in batches.

I went through the general plan for my future development in my mind.

In April, Xia Yan's activity in the market dropped slightly with the end of Lelouch.

End of April.

Xia Yan had prepared for the graduation thesis defense for more than half a year.

Ever since his junior year, Xia Yan has been the most popular person in the school at Modu University.

Even though there are many rich second-generation students in Shanghai University, in the eyes of students on other campuses, there is a huge gap in charm between those rich second-generation students and the first-generation Xia Yan.

Moreover, the students at Shanghai University of Science and Technology know very well that most of the rich second-generation families are not as rich as Xia Yan.

After the completion of Lelouch, coupled with the animation changes of Xia Yan's Sword Art Online and Hunter Hunter over the past year or so, and the peripheral income, Xia Yan's company's book capital has reached an astonishing level, close to 4.5 billion.

This is cash, not a very inflated stock valuation.

Most of the so-called billionaires in the world are worth money in stocks. When the financial market fluctuates, it is normal for their wealth to shrink by 50 to 60 percent or double within a year.

Anyway, it's just a valuation. How much are the stocks worth of the rich? You can tell if those rich people dare to sell their stocks. Once they sell, they will plummet.

Looking at it from the other side, Xia Yan’s Xia Tang Animation is a real money printing machine company.

Naturally, Xia Yan's reputation in school is far higher than others imagined.

On the day of his graduation defense, thousands of fans of his works gathered downstairs at the college, waiting for him to take photos and meet him when he came out.

After all, at Xia Yan's level.

Once they graduate, it will be difficult for them, the juniors and juniors, to meet Xia Yanneng.

Of course, Xia Yan's graduation journey was not smooth sailing.

Although he was specially recruited into the major, his IQ is not bad, and it is not difficult for him to graduate from Magic City University if he studies hard. However, he was obsessed with his career during college, and his course learning was definitely not as profound as his classmates. This was the case when he held his thesis at the graduation defense meeting and spoke, and the defense teacher could naturally hear everything.

However, the biggest advantage of Xia Yan and his classmates is that he has a strong aura.

On weekdays, he talked about cooperation and business, and attended events with leaders of large multinational companies, wealthy businessmen with a net worth of hundreds of millions or billions, and relevant leaders of major publishing houses and cultural departments in the Magic City area of ​​Longguo. He had met too many elites from Longguo.

At least in the graduation defense, these tutors in the college could not put any pressure on Xia Yan. Their literary tutors had average aura.

Therefore, Xia Yan's graduation thesis was not of good quality, but his defense performance was impressive.

So in May

Xia Yan's defense results came out, and he got a "medium" rating and graduated successfully.

Of course, Song Lingjun, who had the best relationship with Xia Yan in the class, handled her work perfectly while also handling her studies perfectly.

She graduated successfully with the first place in the department, and as an outstanding graduate of the Department of Literature this year, she gave the opening and closing speeches at the graduation party.

So Xia Yan was in a good mood in May. In addition to graduating successfully, he was also very grateful that no teacher in the college disliked him and blocked his graduation. When he was in a good mood, and the counselor mentioned it casually, he made a proper gesture. Before graduation, he donated 3 million yuan to the college as an alumnus as a scholarship for outstanding students in the Department of Literature for a period of time in the future, which was considered a small contribution to the school.

For Xia Yan now, several million is just a day's company income. Xia Yan just thinks that he is working for the college where he has studied for four years for a day.

May passed quietly.

Soon, it was June.

At this time, Xia Yan was still handling some graduation procedures at school and preparing to receive his diploma.

In fact, for him now, he is not too concerned about how much money the company makes in a month.

But he was still very excited about his successful graduation from Magic City University.

After all, Xia Yan knew what achievements he had made in the Dragon Country's two-dimensional industry. That was only his achievement standing on the shoulders of giants in a parallel world.

But he was able to graduate from Magic City University.

In fact, he felt quite accomplished.

After all, after twenty years of studying, although Xia Yan's academic qualifications were of no use to him after graduation, it was also a symbol of his hard work!

At the same time, in June,

Xia Yan was waiting to get his diploma.

The average sales of the comic single volume of Hunter x Hunter finally reached 26.7 million copies,

topping the list of Dragon Country's history!
