A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

In fact, Xia Yan didn't need the editor to point fingers at him. After all, what he produced were mature commercial works in the parallel world. Any changes would be superfluous.

"Given the achievements of your novel, I have to be serious, otherwise the senior management of the book company will criticize my work attitude. You are a student, and you don't have time to come to our company to discuss the novel manuscript and plot with me. Starting from this week, I will go to your home from time to time to review the novel manuscript you wrote, and strive to make the quality of the novel as perfect as possible. I don't want "Youth Journey" to start high and end low."

Xia Yan was silent for a while after hearing this.

"Well, let me ask one more question. If the plot of the novel manuscript I completed is different from your opinion, how should I deal with it?"

"I will explain my opinions, from the market atmosphere, the pitfalls of the novel, and the wrong plot experience of the predecessors, and explain the reason to you, and finally let you modify the plot." Tang Yin heard this and said softly.

"What if I insist on my opinion?" Xia Yan said in a deep voice.

Tang Yin was silent for a few seconds.

"Your opinion is the main one. But in this case, if the popularity of the novel declines and there are bad reviews, the responsibility is all on you. If the bookstore chooses to cut your novel, I will not help you to intercede." Tang Yin said.

"I understand, everything will be done as you say." Xia Yan nodded.

He did not reject Tang Yin's proposal. Anyway, she asked Xia Yan to change the main plot, and Xia Yan would definitely not change it.

But Tang Yin's irregular visits to his house to review the manuscripts were not useless. At least she was very experienced in the description of the style and the details of the plot in some manuscripts. When the first three chapters of the novel "Youth Journey" were passed to her, I made some minor revisions after listening to her suggestions, and the reading experience was indeed much better.

The call between the two was quickly hung up.

Tang Yin stretched in the office, and the black long skirt outlined the beautiful curves of her chest and abdomen.

"It's already 7:20, another night of overtime."

Tang Yin looked at the clock and did not waste time, but called another person, Song Lingjun.

Song Lingjun's home is located in a rich villa community in the north of the city. Basically, many famous wealthy people in the south city and even the south province have their homes in this area.

In the evening, she lay on the bed in her room, looking at the book in her hand intently.

She has read the plot of the first chapter of "Youth Journey" three times.

The first meeting, misunderstanding, separation, reunion three years later between Futaba and Guang, and the conversation in the plot.

Song Lingjun put her snow-white arms over her eyes to block the light from the ceiling.

In the darkness with her eyes closed, a picture was formed in her mind.

The rain in the novel, the shy boy, the simple girl, the... The misunderstanding blurted out by the girl, the reunion three years later, and the words "Things have changed, and no one can go back!" said by the boy.

Everything in the plot seemed to form a clear picture, which made Song Lingjun feel a little sad in her heart.

"He wrote it so well" Song Lingjun got up from the bed and looked at herself in the mirror.

She was wearing a black and white school skirt, with a graceful figure and exquisite and beautiful appearance, but at this moment, there was a trace of frustration on her beautiful face.

Because she knew that in terms of the interestingness of the first chapter of the novel, the Journey of Youth was better than the Yesterday's Starlight she wrote.

"But he is a boy! Why can he write such a girl's love novel?" Song Lingjun's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion and dissatisfaction.

Xia Yan's Journey of Youth was more delicate than the novel written by a girl like her, and the heroine was portrayed more lovely and likable than the heroine in the novel written by a girl like her. She was a little difficult to accept.

"No! Don't be discouraged. The novel has only been serialized for the first issue, but it hasn't lost yet."

Song Lingjun looked at herself in the mirror and cheered herself up.

"Dong Dong Dong! Xiaojun, if you are tired, go to bed early, don't study too late."

Outside the door, the greeting of her mother after knocking on the door sounded.

"I know." Song Lingjun responded quickly, her heart pounding.

There was still a manuscript of the novel on her desk. If her mother came in and saw it, she would have a hard time explaining it.

But she certainly couldn't sleep. According to the creative plan, she had to write a 5,000-word novel tonight.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

The phone on the bed rang. Song Lingjun saw that it was Tang Yin calling, so she quickly grabbed the phone and answered the call.

The content of Tang Yin's call was the same as what she had said to Xia Yan before.

It's just that the data of the novel's performance announced to Song Lingjun was changed to

"Among the thirteen novels in this issue, the number of votes is seventh, and the score is third?" Song Lingjun's tone sank.

"What's wrong with you? You don't seem very happy with this result." Tang Yin said on the other end of the phone.

"Nothing, I'm very happy!" Song Lingjun replied softly.

But in fact, she was not interested in any data other than the first place.

Third, seventh?

What a bad ranking, it's hard to imagine.

This is the ranking of grades that has never appeared in her more than ten years of student career exams.

But novel writing is not like studying in school.

The workplace is not as simple as school.

Although Song Lingjun was in a low mood, she was immediately filled with fighting spirit.

"Um, editor Tang Yin"

"I've been told many times to call me Tang Yin. I'm used to hearing people call me that."

"Tang Tangyin, I want to ask, like Yesterday's Starry Sky, the novel "Youth Journey" that was newly added to the series this time, how is its performance?"

"To be honest, that novel is quite impressive. It ranks fourth in the number of votes this time, with a score of 9.2 points. It ranks first among the thirteen novels." Tang Yin paused for a moment before comforting her.

"But don't be discouraged. The good performance of the first chapter of the series does not mean that it can be maintained in the future. I am optimistic that your Yesterday's Starry Sky will catch up and surpass Youth Journey in performance."

Song Lingjun took a few deep breaths after hearing this.

It really lost to that novel

Although it was expected, it was still a little hard to let go after learning the accurate news.

"I understand. Tang Yin. I will work hard."

The conversation between the two also focused on Tang Yin's editing work review.

"Come to review the novel manuscript?" After hearing this proposal, Song Lingjun immediately panicked.

What if Tang Yin came to review it? Wouldn't the whole family know that Song Lingjun was not doing her job and was secretly writing serial novels at home every night?

"Well, Tang Yin, can you put this matter on the weekend? I will personally take the manuscript of the novel to Hongfeng Literature to discuss with you to revise the plot of the novel." Song Lingjun said.

"What's the matter?"

Song Lingjun thought for a while, and then whispered and obscurely told her about her creative situation.

"It is very likely that your family does not support you writing novels, so you have been secretly writing without telling them?" Tang Yin frowned when she heard it.

"But our company does not work on weekends, and I have other things to do on weekends!"

Tang Yin's words reached Song Lingjun's ears through the phone.

"But your novel has such a good performance, and I, as an editor, can't really ignore it and just collect manuscripts at a fixed time every week. That would be too risky, especially since you are a new novelist, and the risk of the plot going off track in the later stage is even greater."

Tang Yin pondered for half a minute, and Song Lingjun on the other end of the phone already felt a heavy pressure.

Finally, Tang Yin thought of something.

"Then can you go out at night?" Tang Yin asked.

"Go out?" Song Lingjun thought for a while and said.

"This is not a big problem. I can go out to study with piano teachers, painting teachers, flower arrangement teachers, and tea art teachers as an excuse to go out and study until I go home before 12 o'clock in the evening."

"Eh, so free?" Tang Yin was stunned.

"After all, my family trusts me very much, and I have learned this way since I was a child. In addition to the courses in school, the supplementary classes for Olympiad mathematics, competitions, vocal music, art, and kendo all fill my spare time. My family is used to it."

"Then don't you have any entertainment in your daily life?"

"Yes, I secretly read novels in my room. And I secretly write novels in my room. After all, watching anime and playing games will make sounds and may be discovered. But reading novels is different. It is safe, hidden, and easy to hide." Song Lingjun's tone was lighter when she said this.

Because the other party was the only reliable editor who knew that she was writing light novels, Song Lingjun also said a little more about herself.

You... Your childhood was really pitiful.

Tang Yin was stunned, but she held back the hurtful words.

"Okay, I understand your situation. You can't accept my visiting you. But during the daytime on weekdays, you have to go to school, so you can't come to the book club to discuss the content and creative direction of the novel with me. On weekends, I don't go to work, and I have other private matters."

"In this case, the only time we can deal with the novel together is in the evening on weekdays. As long as you can come out at night, it's not impossible to find another place to deal with these problems, but it's time arrangement. Let me think about it."

Tang Yin thought for a while, and her eyes lit up.

"You don't mind having another person next to you when you discuss the plot of the novel with me."

"Another person? Who?" Song Lingjun asked after hearing this.

"The author of Youth Journey. He is a contracted author under my company, just like you. I have to review both of your novels anyway, and to a certain extent, give guidance and suggestions on the plot direction. The time is only from Monday to Friday, on weekday evenings. If you agree, I will undoubtedly save a lot of time and effort here, and I don’t have to run back and forth and waste time."

"Eh? Is it that "Yuan Qing"?

"Yes, that's right. Anyway, you are all new light novel authors, and you are of similar age, and you are all..." Tang Yin quickly shut up and almost said that Xia Yan and Song Lingjun were alumni.

"Is he a difficult person to get along with?" Song Lingjun asked.

"No, I think he is easy to get along with. Although his attitude towards people is not so enthusiastic, it is actually quite pleasant to get along with him. Moreover, two new authors can improve their writing skills by getting to know each other and communicating with each other. What do you think? If you agree with my proposal, then I will go to discuss it with him, and I will ask him clearly and make sure that he can keep your identity confidential before I finally choose to do so." Tang Yin said.

"I, I." Song Lingjun hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind.

"Okay."

If you have a vote, please vote. Thank you. If you have any ideas about the plot, you can also make suggestions. If they make sense, the author will adopt them.
