A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

In the following weeks, the entire two-dimensional industry was completely filled with news about Xia Yan's two new comics.

The main reason why Naruto and One Piece comics are so popular in parallel worlds, and they basically fight against Death in the sea of ​​death in the three major migrant comics, is that the opening plots of Naruto and One Piece are much better than Death. .

The early plot of Bleach is just one or two episodes long, and the plot is basically a false plot to harm people. The protagonist draws his sword to help, but gets into a hard fight, and suddenly explodes in the middle to end the battle. This kind of plot lasts for dozens of episodes in the early stage. It is not until the protagonist enters Soul Society that the world view can be said to be slightly expanded.

The early pacing of the two Naruto and One Piece comics is much better.

After Naruto appeared in the first episode of Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto were immediately followed by the genin test. After the genin test, there was the story of Zabuza and Haku in the country of Waves, and then the chunin exam, Jiraiya and Naruto met, Orochimaru failed to invade Konoha, Naruto, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru fought in a scuffle, and finally Sasuke defected.

There are hundreds of chapters of the comic plot, and there is almost no peeing throughout the whole process. As long as the reader has the energy, the plot will be very coherent from the first chapter to nearly two hundred chapters.

Let’s talk about Shippuden later. The quality and excitement have obviously declined too much. In the parallel world, it is said that the style change was caused by the change of the first-generation editor in charge of the author Oda. It is obvious that the style of the shounen manga has changed into a young adult manga.

The story of Pirates is basically an island-by-island adventure story, but the story of Luffy and his friends is basically a tear-jerking story every few chapters.

So after a few weeks, when the plot of Naruto progressed to the end of Kakashi's genin examination and Zoro made his debut in One Piece, everyone in the entire comic industry began to examine these two comics based on the world view of the work.

"The setting of Naruto feels like a person with super powers, just called a ninja. However, the setting of these abilities in this comic is quite interesting, that is, does the protagonist Naruto have to rely on Kyuubi for help every time he encounters danger? ?”

"The setting of this Nine-Tails is a bit like the genre of carrying an old man with you in novels, but it is not exactly the same. At least this Nine-Tails has a hostile relationship with the protagonist, and the relationship is not so big."

"Actually, I think the devil fruit setting of Pirates is more powerful! Rubber fruit, this idea is really interesting."

"But why should we give the protagonist something as ordinary as a rubber fruit? As the protagonist, can Luffy become the Pirate King by relying on rubber?"

"If there are rubber fruits, will there be iron fruits or copper fruits?"

"Go through the entire periodic table of elements, right? Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, all in one wave."

"There are more than a hundred elements in the periodic table of elements, plus compounds, there are hundreds of them, right? From this look, the One Piece Devil Fruit system can be developed to a very high degree."

"But in such a huge development system, giving the protagonist a rubber fruit is too childish, right?"

"Maybe we can eat other fruits later? It doesn't say we can only eat rubber fruits!"

"?"

"Is there still such an operation?"

"But don't pay too much attention to the power system of Naruto and Pirates! Pay more attention to the characterization of these two comics! Don't you think that the characterization of these two comics is top-notch? I have only updated a few chapters. A lot of interesting characters appeared.

"Come on, everyone has been bragging about the character strength of the main villain's works for so many years, and I am too lazy to brag about it. Everyone knows that he is very strong in this aspect, so I don't want to overemphasize it."

For several consecutive weeks, both One Piece and Naruto works have been highly praised in the market.

Even today, many people in the industry look at Xia Yan with a critical eye, but they really can't find problems in the two comics "Sea of ​​Fire".

Although Naruto and Pirates each had problems in the later plots of a few hundred chapters, not only did the concept of ordinary people working hard to realize their dreams that they had been promoting turn into the model of the prince's blood supremacy, but their combat power and setting plots also began to collapse. Bad, but at least in the early stages of the plot, there is no choice between the two works.

Xia Yan's company has been collecting the market response to the two works and summarizing them. During this period, Xia Yan basically read the relevant reports every day, and it was not until the end of November that his hanging heart dropped.

Confidence is confidence, but the possibility of Naruto Pirates being acclimatized in the Dragon Kingdom is not zero. After a month of observation, Xia Yan completely ruled out this possibility. He has integrated well and entered the fan status very quickly.

The two comics have only been serialized for three or four chapters, and there are various discussions on the Internet about the comic's combat power level, whether Naruto can clone hundreds of clones, and whether the third generation of fire can clone tens of thousands of clones.

On the pirate side, the debate over whether it was unscientific for Sauron to survive being tied to a cross stake for a month without food or water during his first appearance also lasted for two weeks.

The fans' focus was strange, but Xia Yan didn't care. These were all good things.

It is foreseeable that in a while, there will be related discussions about Ax King Monka who killed Garp with an ax instantly, threatening to kill Johnny the Hawkeye Sword God, Sword Master Joseph who is the strongest in the pirate world, etc. Famous memes will also appear one after another.

Now it's just pirates brewing.

Xia Yan put down the report in his hand and stretched out on the chair.

He looked at the clouds outside the window.

"It's already December!" Xia Yan sighed.

A year goes by so fast, much faster than before.

In another half month, snow will fall in the Magic City area, and Xia Yan will become a step older, passing the twenty-five-year-old mark.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan was still a little sentimental.

Since he got the memory fragment of the girl from another world at the age of sixteen, until today, the content in it is far from being exhausted.

It can be said that Xia Yan knows the girl best in this world besides himself.

In just nine years, from a nobody to now famous in Longguo and even the whole world, Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh.

But with it, there is a little loneliness.

After all, he has stood at the top of this industry. No matter how stubborn the people in the industry are, they all unconditionally recognize Xia Yan's status as the first person in the history of the two-dimensional industry.

As long as his animation and TV series are broadcast, they are the ratings champion of the quarter by default. Other works in the same period basically do not regard Xia Yan's works as competitors. Everyone is trying their best to compete for the second place in the quarter.

From an outsider's perspective, this is a bit invincible, but from Xia Yan's point of view, this makes him feel a little bored.

"So this is what invincible loneliness means?" Xia Yan smiled.

Suddenly, I was embarrassed by my own arrogant thoughts.

But self-mockery aside, Xia Yan was actually very clear that after One Piece and Naruto were released, he had basically reached the top in this industry.

Maybe in a few years or even more than ten years, he will bring out works such as Dragon Crew, but in the next few years, he will not make any big moves in the comics field.

At present, three works of the company's film and television adaptation business are being re-shot. The global sales of the Pokémon game released two months ago are gratifying. Although it is not the annual hegemonic game, Pokémon is Pokémon after all. Even if it is the first generation game in the Dragon Kingdom plane, with its interesting gameplay core, its total sales will not be a problem to rank in the top ten in the world this year.

In terms of animation, TV animation is still the same. Slam Dunk continues to be popular and is about to be broadcast to the national competition chapter. Hunter animation has also started, driving a wave of single-volume sales.

As for animated movies,

This year's Spring Festival, Howl's Moving Castle will be the only animated movie released during the Spring Festival period.

The huge popularity brought by Xia Yan's top three fields of animation, comics, and novels will radiate to Xia Yan's film field. The practitioners of the entire Longguo entertainment industry are also paying attention to the relevant information.

Because of Xia Yan's popularity as a backing, the entire film industry has predicted that the box office ranking of this animated film during the Spring Festival will be in the top two, one or two months before the Spring Festival.

For the whole year, Xia Yan's company's total revenue from animation, novels, movies, comics, TV series, games and surrounding fields is close to 2 billion Longguo currency.

And if it has made achievements in the film field and has also opened up overseas markets in the next few years, it is a high probability event that Xia Yan's company's revenue will double. What's more, there are IPs of works such as Pokémon Doraemon and Fire Sea that are being incubated.

From a career perspective, Xia Yan no longer has any goals.

And now that he is married, Xia Yan also has to consider the idea of ​​having a child with Tang Yin.

Rubbing his temples, Xia Yan sorted out the thoughts in his mind bit by bit.

In a flash, December passed and New Year's Day came.

The Magic City is now covered in snow.

On the street, small vendors and small stalls have come out one after another.

"Oh, Xia Yan, look, that thing looks delicious." Xia Yan and his wife Tang Yin also took time out from their busy work and came to the commercial street in the center of the Magic City to join the people.

Of course, in addition to the couple, their friends Song Lingjun and Mo Ran were also there.

The two still live in Xia Yan's previous villa. The two single women have gone from being high school students to being best friends who can talk about anything. The identity transition is very smooth.

After Xia Yan and Tang Yin got married, Song Lingjun deliberately suppressed her feelings for Xia Yan and focused on her career development.

Now, she has a tendency to be one of the top three in the light novel industry in Longguo.

In this regard, Xia Yan had to sigh

It has been nine years, and Song Lingjun's growth has been very rapid.

If Xia Yan stops writing, it will probably take less than two years for Song Lingjun to be the number one in the light novel industry in Longguo.

This is the protagonist of the era, the son of the true plane.

Xia Yan held Tang Yin's hand, and his eyes moved away from the promotional poster of Song Lingjun's new novel on the commercial street, thinking so in his heart.

"What's wrong? Are you stressed?" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan's eyes and smiled softly.

"What's the pressure? It's nothing." Xia Yan also smiled slightly.

"After all, your Sword Art Online is in the final stage now, and your popularity has declined a lot. In the internal voting of Liuli Book Club, in the past two months, the first place ranking was surpassed by Xiaoyun's new work once." Tang Yin said.

"Don't underestimate Xiaoyun, she is also a genius light novel writer that I fell in love with at first sight."

"From the tone of your voice, it seems that you still hope that I will lose to her!" Xia Yan laughed.

"You are turning your elbow outward!"

"Of course, you have won Xiaoyun for nine years, so what if she wins once?" Tang Yin rolled her eyes at Xia Yan.

"So when her new work was published last month, the ranking of that work in the journal was at the top."

"That definitely doesn't count for Xiaoyun. What Xiaoyun wants to surpass must be your works at your peak. Sword has reached its final stage, its popularity has declined, and it only briefly won the first place with the support of book club activities. "One, Xiao Yun definitely doesn't count. You actually understand very well why Xiao Yun started a new novel series last month." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan with a meaningful look.

"I know that she is eyeing my new novel "Fate Zero" at the end of the month, and she wants to rely on her to brag about the new novel to confront FZ head-on." Xia Yan smiled bitterly.

"well"

"Why are you sighing?" Tang Yin asked.

"I was just thinking that this time, Song Lingyun will be disappointed again. It would be better if I took out other light novels, fz." Xia Yan paused.

"With Song Lingjun's current level, if he wants to compete with fz, he is still a little behind."

The conversation between Tang Yin and Xia Yan lasted too long, and Mo Ran and Song Lingjun, who were wearing masks and eating snacks secretly, came over.

"It's New Year's Day, so don't show off your affection and whisper. Food, drink, and fun are the most important thing. Don't waste time." Mo Ran quickly acted as a light bulb and came to the two of them.

Xia Yan and Mo Ran shut up knowingly.

Both of them took a deep look at Song Lingjun, which made her feel a little strange.

But she didn't think much about it. Even though it was New Year's Day, Song Lingjun's mind was filled with ideas for her new novel while eating candied haws.

After suppressing her feelings for Xia Yan, she devoted herself to work, and her eyes returned to the sharp and serious look they had in high school.

When he looked at Xia Yan, he was completely serious.

"Here you a bunch." Song Lingjun handed a bunch of candied haws to Xia Yan.

"Thank you." Xia Yan was not polite. After taking it, he looked at the people walking around, moved the mask up slightly to expose his mouth, and started eating.

Although he was a celebrity, Xia Yan didn't think he would be recognized so easily.

"It's the end of the month." Song Lingjun also spoke while eating.

"Huh? What did you say?" Xia Yan looked at her.

"I'm saying that my new work is definitely not at the current level." Song Lingjun said confidently.

"It just starts a little slow, but then it will definitely not lose to your new novel."

"This" Xia Yan wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he finally replied.

"come on."

If Song Lingjun can really write a light novel that surpasses FZ, then Xia Yan will definitely be very happy.

This shows that the level of the Dragon Kingdom has reached such a high level in the past few years.

After all, as a native of the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yan can only feel gratified that the Dragon Kingdom has produced works that can compete with top works from other worlds.

"Also, thank you and Tang Yin for inviting me to participate in the New Year's Day Festival with you. I am very happy." Song Lingjun said in a tone.

"Then if you don't feel uncomfortable, just come back together next year." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Tang Yin and I just got married. Our friendship with you has not been severed. We go out to play together. What's the point!"

The university came to a halt, and on the street, Xia Yan and his party of four had smiles on their faces.

But paper could not contain the fire. When a passerby finally noticed and guessed the identities of Xia Yan, Song Lingjun, and Mo Ran, Xia Yan hurriedly told the three of them to run away.

Otherwise, I would be surrounded by fans, and I would never be able to break out of the siege without the help of the police today.

In a certain coffee shop, four people who were tired from running had smiles on their faces and were talking relaxedly about the dangerous scene just now.

At the end of January, the Fate Zero series of novels was published on Liuli Publishing House.

This marks the birth of the Fate series of novels in Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, the redundancy of the plot in Fate Zero's early novels made fans complain for two weeks.

In the novel plot of the third week, Artoria was described in the text. After the King of Knights was summoned, a hand-painted color picture of Artoria on the novel folder was attached.

Xia Yan's fans knew at this moment that Xia Yan's new work was stable.

In early February, during the Lunar New Year, Howl's Moving Castle was released.

On the day of its release, the total box office was RMB 230 million, ranking second on the Spring Festival box office list with a narrow gap of less than RMB 10 million.

During the Chinese New Year in early February, everyone in the film industry was in danger due to Xia Yan's works.

Everyone is afraid that a cartoon will take the box office title at the Dragon Kingdom Film Market during the seven-day annual holiday.

This is really a bit embarrassing for the physical film industry.

There are constant small moves behind the scenes by various interested parties, but they are of little significance.

Xia Yan himself was the great capital of Longguo, and no one could suppress him with capital.

After all, the film industry is the entertainment industry with the most famous actors and the greatest influence in Dragon Kingdom!

I was really suppressed by an animation guy

Shameful indeed.

Although Xia Yan did not do much personal promotion, in fact, with Xia Tang Company now operating independently, Xia Yan's works have been very maturely commercialized.

The new year..is coming.

At this moment, in the Longguo two-dimensional market, everyone has discovered that there are various topics about Xia Yan everywhere.
