A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

In May, after a few episodes of Pokémon were aired, the popularity and ratings of Pokémon have been steadily increasing, and the discussion among children has gradually increased.

However, the popularity among adult fans is average, and there is a big gap with the ratings of Sword and Dunk.

There are many voices criticizing the end of the myth created by Xia Yan, saying that starting from Pokémon, Xia Yan's works will return to mediocrity, and the popularity boom like Lelouch and Fullmetal Alchemist will not reappear.

These remarks basically appear every year, and Xia Yan's fans basically treat them as jokes.

And his fans have basically seen that Xia Yan's IP work with huge investment is mainly aimed at primary and secondary school students.

As for Xia Yan, he also has psychological expectations for the current development of Pokémon.

It's not that Pokémon will not have adult fans, but often the adult fans of such works are actually cultivated from childhood.

This is like the fact that Ultraman in the parallel world is very popular, but there are very few fans who join the fandom after adulthood. All adult fans of Ultraman have been fans since childhood.

If you want to make the Pokémon IP, you must not stop investing hundreds of millions of yuan a year. After five or six years of continuous development, you may get a good feedback.

As for the current average ratings of Pokémon animation, Xia Yan doesn't care much. In May, he even increased cooperation with domestic peripheral manufacturers in Longguo to develop Pokémon peripheral products with them.

While handling these company businesses, Xia Yan also had to take time to prepare for the wedding with Tang Yin.

"Xia Yan, what do you think of this set of wedding photos taken before?"

Tang Yin also put down the work of foreign partners these days and stayed in Xia Yan's office all day to discuss marriage with him.

No matter how calm she is, she is getting married after all, and the wedding date is less than two months away, so she is still very nervous.

"Well, it's pretty good." Xia Yan looked at the photos, his brows relaxed, and said with a smile.

"It's expensive for a reason. The company your friend recommended is pretty good."

"Why do you always say that? At least find some faults!" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan and said.

"The photos are really good! At least in my mind, they are more than 95 points. You can't always ask them to make something that is 100 points perfect in your mind." Xia Yan looked at Tang Yin's expression and probably guessed her inner emotions at the moment.

"What's wrong? A little nervous and anxious?" Xia Yan smiled.

Tang Yin was silent for a few seconds, then said.

"A little! I never thought that getting married was something worth thinking about before, but now the closer the date is, the more anxious I feel. Tang Yin stroked her hair with her fingers.

Xia Yan grabbed her hand and said.

"You have nothing to be nervous about. The guests who come will all be your relatives. I should be nervous."

"I feel sad when you say that. You said you are such a good person, why do you have so few relatives and friends to contact? "Tang Yin glanced at Xia Yan and said.

"That's why creatures like me are called otakus!" Xia Yan laughed.

"Otakus don't necessarily stay at home, but they definitely abandon all useless social interactions."

"So you have so few friends because you think it's useless to have contact with too many people?"

"That's right." Xia Yan said directly.

"Of course, it's only limited to my situation."

After thinking about it, Tang Yin still found it a little difficult to understand Xia Yan. After all, her family was a big family with a happy family, which was very different from Xia Yan. Although she also hated being urged to get married by relatives during the Chinese New Year, it was hard to imagine a semi-disconnected state with no contact with relatives.

However, after being disturbed by Xia Yan, her nervousness dissipated a little.

Looking at the pile of report documents on Xia Yan's desk, she also picked them up and flipped through them, changing the subject.

"You are getting busier and busier now."

"No way. "Xia Yan said with a wry smile.

"If I just want the company's scale and influence to remain at the current level, I only need to ensure the serialization of one or two works in a year, but if the company wants to go further, it can only be like this. "

"After all, I have no background from the beginning and do not accept capital investment. If I am still lazy, how can I defeat so many competitors in Longguo. "

"In fact, I have always been curious about one thing. With your consumption level, you probably can't spend ten times your current wealth. Why do you still work so hard to make money? If I were you, I would have retired and gone home to lie down. "Tang Yin asked curiously.

Although the two have been dating for so long, Tang Yin will also give Xia Yan a certain amount of privacy. In the past, they were just dating, and many topics would not be asked. Now, they are in a quasi-husband-and-wife relationship, so naturally there are not too many concerns.

"Well" Xia Yan was asked by this question.

Looking at Tang Yin's fair and beautiful face and the curiosity in her eyes, Xia Yan paused and said.

"If you have a bunch of very interesting stories in your mind, will you make them public? Or keep them to yourself and tell no one? As for me, I can't hold it in. Although I know that stopping work and relying on the existing wealth to retire is the easiest life, but if I make a little effort, I can share these excellent stories in my mind and bring the same happiness to tens of millions or hundreds of millions of ACG people in Longguo. For me, it should be the happiest way to live."

"I understand. Tang Yin understood when she heard Xia Yan say this.

If you want to keep a good story that only you know in your heart for a lifetime, how much willpower do you need?

"But your fans should not feel much happiness from your work. Instead, they should feel extreme sadness." Tang Yin chuckled.

"At least, they may scold why the plot is like this during the process of watching, but after watching it, there should be no one who regrets it. "Xia Yan said with a smile.

The two people in the office chatted about these daily topics. They have been busy with the development of the company in recent years. The last time they had such a conversation was when Xia Yan was in high school.

"It's been eight years!" Xia Yan suddenly sighed.

"What do you mean eight years? "

"I've known you for eight years," Xia Yan paused and said.

And, the memory fragments of the girl in his mind have been in his brain for eight years.

To this day, Xia Yan can still see the girl's memories of games, anime, novels and comics in his dreams every few days, and she, from the beginning of Xia Yan's dream girl, graduated from college and entered the society. Even Xia Yan didn't know when this memory in his mind would come to an abrupt end. When would he be able to see the real Hunter ending, One Piece ending, and Sword Art Online novel ending in the girl's memory.

"I hope her memory of these works is complete, otherwise." Xia Yan's expression condensed slightly.

Otherwise, it would be a pity for the Hunter work.

For the Sword Art Online work, Xia Yan can still control the ending, which is a game in itself. A chapter in the game world, it can end in any chapter.

Only Hunter, Xia Yan is very cautious even if he wants to make some minor changes, and the plot after the Ant King chapter is basically in a state of annual update in the parallel world.

Although everyone jokes that Togashi is addicted to playing mahjong and not drawing comics, in fact, a large part of the reason is that he has back pain caused by occupational diseases, and he has to lie down to draw comics.

Nowadays, after two or three years of serialization, the Hunter comics in Longguo have also entered the final plot of the Greedy Island chapter. In a few months, the longest and most amazing chapter of Hunter, the Ant Chapter, will be opened.

The length of the Ant Chapter is probably enough to support Xia Yan's serialization in Longguo for two or three years.

But after the Ant Chapter, the plot of this work has been serialized intermittently in the parallel world, and Xia Yan is also ready to wait until the Ant Chapter. After the serialization of the first episode ended, the comic Hunter started a long-term suspension mode. As for when the serialization can be restarted after that, it depends on when the memory of the girl in Xia Yan's mind can finish updating Hunter.

Throughout May, because there were no new works broadcast, Xia Yan was not busy at work, and most of his time was spent on preparing for the wedding.

The animations and novels of Slam Dunk and Sword were broadcast simultaneously, and they still occupied the first and second places in the hot list of the two-dimensional industry in Longguo.

As for Xia Yan's company, the focus of work has actually begun to shift to Pokémon and the animation of Xia Yan's previous works to live-action dramas.

The three animated films that Xia Yan was preparing to produce have been approved and are in intensive production, but the results of those things will not be seen until at least next year.

Live-action dramas are different. Longguo's TV dramas are similar to animations, which are the kind of model of being produced and broadcast at the same time. In the parallel world, the Chinese model of producing 60 or 70 episodes of a TV series and then broadcasting it all at once is rare.

In other countries in the parallel world, including the Dragon Kingdom plane, the mainstream is to produce while broadcasting.

And the production of these TV series is simpler than animation to some extent.

Among Xia Yan's early works, the live-action TV series of Anohana and Madoka Magica have been launched, and both works will be broadcast on TV stations in July this year.

In fact, after entering June, everyone in the Dragon Kingdom two-dimensional circle has focused on these two works.

Sword and Slam Dunk are definitely popular among all works, but discussing these two works every day will make fans annoyed. Now everyone's attention is on Xia Yan's live-action adaptations.

Since entering June, the discussion about the two live-action adaptations has become increasingly heated on the entire forum.

"Speaking of which, how many years has Anohana been around? Five years? Six years, right?"

"It's only a month or two away from the end of six years, and finally... it's getting a live-action adaptation."

"But the original animation isn't long enough for a season of TV, right?"

"There are still theatrical versions and the spin-off novels that Lao Zei Hua will release later as supplements. But for a live-action TV series, the script will have some deletions and additions. I heard that some supporting characters' emotional scenes will be added, but it doesn't matter. As long as the main plot remains unchanged, I will definitely support it."

"I have finally waited for this day. The Pokémon game will be released at the end of the year. The old thief will officially enter the game industry. And in July, there will be no broadcast of the famous TV series. The old thief will officially enter the film and television industry. I feel that the old thief has been accumulating for the past eight years and is now ready to Once it breaks out, I hope to see these animated TV series wipe out the boring idol dramas on the market."

"Don't brag. The TV drama industry is a new industry, so you still have to be cautious."

"Be careful, I haven't heard the name yet. It's hard to tell. Do you know what this means for Mo Yuan's TV series? Mo Yuan suffered from the loss of the old thief who was a poor man and had no money to produce animations for promotion, so the ratings are higher than Lelouch and Steel are low, this time the TV series is adapted into real people, Magic Circle will tell everyone in the Dragon Kingdom who is the real king."

"I heard that Magic Circle will have new extra plots added to the TV series."

"Really or not?"

"How can it be false? The animation director of Mo Yuan said it himself. Some of the old thief's supplementary plots are in the TV series. I can already see that next month the Dragon Kingdom TV drama market will be dominated by Mo Yuan. You When it comes to converting animation into a TV series, many fans of the original work may not necessarily buy it, but if you say that the old thieves are adding new plots to the TV series after the animation, the Magic Circle fans like Dragon Kingdom can’t sit still.”

"TV series, movies, animations, novels, comics, games. The old thief is involved in so many industries! How busy can he be?"

"Don't laugh me to death. Do you think the old thief's tens of billions of net worth is a lie? Does this kind of thing require him to personally take action? The Magic Circle animation script is there. If there is anything the old thief wants to add or the plot, please give it. Changing the direction, we have a team of top screenwriters from the Dragon Kingdom to assist the old thieves, what are you worried about? "

"If the TV series adapted by Wu Heng Hua Ming and Magic Circle can be successful! From now on, it is estimated that the works such as Parasite Beast and Initial D will also be adapted by real people."

"Initial D! Damn it, it's been years, and your words brought back memories. Indeed, if Initial D could be changed by a real person, the scene would be so cool."

"Don't think too wonderfully. Live-action adaptations have been a tragedy since ancient times. I can only hope that the original work will not be ruined too much and that the passing score will be maintained after the broadcast."

"I believe in the old thief. After all, everyone knows his craftsmanship. He can invest hundreds of millions in an animation, and he will definitely not make a shoddy work."

The broadcast information of the live-action TV series "Magic Circle" and "Unknown Flowers" has swept the entire two-dimensional industry in just a day or two.

Jiuxiao Forum, the official website of Xiayan Company, the amount of related discussions in the past few days has been one after another.

Many people in the news media criticized Xia Yan for being a bastard, saying that the live-action version of the TV series would definitely receive numerous bad reviews after it was aired. However, the comment section for the relevant comments was basically flooded by Xia Yan's fans.

It's okay for fans like them to scold Xia Yan, but certainly not for other people.

Outsiders are watching the fun, but only insiders are wary after seeing a series of actions in this year's Xia Tang animation.

Xia Yan has reached the pinnacle of the three traditional two-dimensional industries of animation, comics and novels.

Now he is preparing to enter the film, television and game industries.

In this way, Xia Yan has dabbled in all branches of the entertainment industry.

If anyone else did this, everyone would complain that this was too ambitious, but Xia Yan did this.

Many companies have already felt a strong sense of crisis.

After all, Xia Yan's appeal is there, and he naturally has an advantage if he wants to engage in these cross-border activities. Xia Yan's rise took so long that many people didn't realize it, but until now, many people really realized what Xia Yan and his Xia Tang Animation meant to the Dragon Kingdom.

It has grown into such a huge company that it can independently carry out this level of IP development for its works.

With money, talent, and Xia Yan's ambition as a leader, this company can no longer be ignored by the industry.

But the start of this company only started a few years ago...

In June, the hot summer enters its wildest period.

It goes by quickly.

It's July.
