A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

"So, the book company has basically confirmed that your Parasyte will be submitted to the selection of the Emperor Star Award. Therefore, you may need to cooperate with the book company to shoot some promotional posters and interview videos during this period.

Because Xia Yan has a good credit and has not delayed the submission of Parasyte since its serialization, Xia Yan's novel agent Bai Xuan will never bother him unless there is something.

However, since the fourteenth chapter of Parasyte was only a few thousand votes away from the second place in the "Liuli Color" magazine.

The book company was also very decisive and submitted the application for the entry of Parasyte three days ago.

"Oh, the Emperor Star Award." Xia Yan nodded after hearing this.

After two years in the novel industry, Xia Yan certainly knew what the Emperor Star Award was.

It can basically be regarded as the best novel award born in the Dragon Country novel industry this year.

Xia Yan was excited when he heard that his work was submitted for the award.

"What is the award process for this award?"

"The award process. "Bai Xuan's pretty face froze when she heard this, and she thought for a moment before organizing her words.

"Basically, new novels serialized in Longguo that year, works with an average sales volume of more than one million copies are eligible to participate in the award. Of course, the specific ranking of this award will be comprehensively considered by the judges based on the popularity, plot, quality, reader reputation and other factors of the novel."

"Hey, it's not like the new god's ascension, which is determined by the number of readers' votes for the novel." Xia Yan said.

"Of course not, but the popularity of the work will definitely have a great impact on the judges' selection. "

"For Parasyte, the most important thing is to participate in this award selection." Bai Xuan looked at Xia Yan.

"After all, the three new novels published in the magazine "Liuli" last year were all selected for the award, and "Starry Sky" and "Qingze" also have seven novels participating in the selection. It will be enough for our novel to enter the top fifteen of the selection."

"Top fifteen? "Xia Yan was silent for a while after hearing this.

Longguo is such a big country, the light novel industry is so prosperous, and the local creative strength is also very strong.

Although the work "Parasyte" is excellent, it cannot be said that it can crush the works of light novel writers in Longguo.

And the work "Parasyte" itself is the type that needs time to accumulate word of mouth. The longer the time, the better the reputation of the work will be. Participating in this kind of selection itself does not have an advantage.

But Xia Yan still feels that even if the popularity of the platform where "Parasyte" is serialized is not top-notch, this work should be in the top ten or even top five of the year in such a selection.

"It's still a while before the selection in April, and your "Parasyte" will be finished by then. If the quality of the plot of this work is as high as usual, it is not impossible to move up a few places at that time." Bai Xuan seemed to see Xia Yan's thoughts and said with a smile.

"Don't think there is anything shameful about being in the top fifteen. Jiang Jingyi also knew that she was ranked second in the New God Ascension last year. The three novels she created in the previous three years all participated in the selection of the Emperor Star Award, one time ranked 72nd, one time ranked 64th, and one time ranked 32nd. There are many talented people in the light novel industry of Longguo. In the past 20 years, there have been as many as ten talented new writers like you who ranked first in the New God Ascension. In addition, many people are novelists who have accumulated a lot of experience and became famous in middle age. These people are basically still working hard in the industry now. "

"With the activeness of this group of people, even in just one year, there are a lot of excellent works that can emerge in Longguo. In such a competitive industry, a new novel created by a person can be considered by many people to be in the top 15 of the year before the award has started. This is actually very remarkable.

"That's right." Xia Yan thought about it and nodded after hearing this.

Just like the Japanese island in the parallel world, the so-called top ten and top twenty works of the year in the two-dimensional world are actually considered popular works. Although they are not as popular as the popular monster works such as Dead Fire Sea that have been serialized for decades, they can at least lead the industry trend for a short time.

However

The real sublimation of the plot of Parasyte is still in the second half

"I am confident in the subsequent plot of Parasyte. Now let's see how much influence this work can have in the Longguo novel world before it is finished." Xia Yan smiled.

Until the end, the greater the influence of Parasyte in the Longguo novel world, the more helpful it will be for its Emperor Star Award selection.

"I hope so too." Bai Xuan heard this, and a smile appeared on her rosy lips.

Xia Yan's first semester at university ended.

One week after the winter vacation officially started

The Spring Festival is coming.

Song Lingjun went home for the New Year. As for Tang Yin, she didn't want to go home and be ridiculed and urged to get married by her father, so she stayed in "Xia Tang Animation Company" with Xia Yan during the New Year. They worked hard during the New Year and perfected the animation details of Magic Circle with some employees who were also not going home for the New Year.

For an ordinary animation work, with the industrialized process production capabilities of the Dragon Country animation industry, it may only take three months from project establishment to the broadcast of the first episode. As for the subsequent episodes, they can be produced while broadcasting.

But Xia Yan's requirements for the work of Magic Circle are still relatively high, so the production cycle is quite long.

"I said, has the broadcast schedule of Magic Circle been decided?"

In the office, Xia Yan asked Tang Yin.

Inside the company, Xia Yan mainly communicated with the members of the animation production team about the details of the animation production, while Tang Yin was responsible for some external affairs.

"Well, we have initially confirmed the intention of cooperation with TV1 in Modu. It will be broadcast every Thursday at 9 pm starting from April 3. It cost 13 million to negotiate the broadcast position." When Tang Yin said this, her expression showed a pain.

"It's really bad, these TV stations."

Thursday is not a good time slot in itself, and 9 pm is even worse. This costs 13 million.

"Don't feel bad."

"After all, it is TV1 in Modu. It is still a little bit better than TV2 in Modu. It's expensive, and it's expensive for a reason." Xia Yan said.

Of course, although he said this, he was actually very sad.

The production cost of Magic Circle was only 16 million, but the broadcast fee was 13 million.

This ratio is absolutely abnormal in the animation industry of Longguo.

"It can be said that the three of us have put all our wealth on this animation." Tang Yin took a deep breath.

"If there is any accident during the broadcast of this animation, you will become a pauper overnight, and you will have trouble eating."

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this. At least I still have hundreds of thousands of royalties from Liuli Bookstore every month. If you and Song Lingjun are really bankrupted by my animation, you can come to my house and live. I will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"It's like being kept by someone." Tang Yin said with a smile.

Xia Yan's expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly. He also found that what he said just now was a bit inappropriate. Although the relationship between the few people was good, this kind of words did cause some misunderstandings.

"You are rich, talented and famous now, but how come you are still single after a semester? There are no girls in such a big Magic City University that you are interested in?" Tang Yin changed the subject and began to ask Xia Yan about this topic.

"Well, I do have some new female friends."

Xia Yan thought of Mo Ran, a senior whom she met after entering university.

Speaking of which, the comic she collaborated with a senior from the light novel club should have started to be published. I'll buy it and vote for her sometime.

"But as for love, I haven't found anyone I feel this way about yet."

"Hey, that's dangerous, Xia Yan. You still have this mentality in the Magic City University where there are so many beautiful girls. Maybe you don't like girls!"

"What do you mean?"

"Try to get in touch with more boys." Tang Yin said seriously, trying not to laugh.

"What about you? You're still single after graduating from university for three or four years. Do you like girls too?" Xia Yan was not one to suffer a loss, so she retorted decisively.

Tang Yin's expression immediately became dangerous when she heard this.

Xia Yan saw her expression and knew that he had stepped on the tigress's tail, so he quickly shut up.

After Xia Yan had some free time during the winter break, the two of them often stayed in the company, and bickering like this became a daily routine.

Time passed, and the animation production of Madoka Magica was on track after the preliminary preparations were completed, and progressed rapidly.

While Xia Yan was responsible for the serialization of the light novel, the script writing of Madoka Magica, and the work that was not connected with the animation, he was also restoring the classic songs of Madoka Magica in the parallel world to this world.

The learning in the club activities with Mo Ran in a semester was quite useful. Although the progress was slow, Xia Yan was still able to try to restore the basic five-line scores and restored songs by himself.

During this period, the serialization of Parasyte's light novels has been steadily increasing in popularity.

The 15th chapter of the series officially ranked second in the journal "Glass Color", and when the 16th chapter was serialized.

It was only a voting gap of more than 20,000 votes from the first journal "Blue Seal".

Xia Yan's fans also united at this time.

Help Xia Yan canvass votes for this work in major forums, websites, and fan groups.
