A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

her name

My name is Yuan Qing.

Yuan Qing?

Xia Yan was writing furiously on his desk. At a certain moment, he remembered the name of the girl whose soul memory was silent in the depths of his mind.

As if he suddenly remembered the name of his kindergarten friend, Xia Yan felt an inexplicable excitement, but the excitement quickly subsided, leaving only distress.

Many ordinary people find it easy to write novels, and they have to write thousands of words every day.

But think about it, ten thousand words is equivalent to about twelve 800-word essays. How many students are asked to take a Chinese test paper and write an 800-word essay but they are at a loss for words. If they have not practiced accordingly on weekdays, writing 10,000 words will be beyond imagination. of pain.

Xia Yan is in this state now. He thought it would be easy for him to follow the "Journey of Youth" animation plot in his memory and compile it into a novel version, but in fact

The characters, environment, expressions, detailed descriptions, etc. are completely different from his usual Chinese writing.

Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

Xia Yan has never written a light novel before, but he has read a lot of light novels in Dragon Kingdom. His writing ability is not low, but his appreciation ability is not low.

I spent two hours writing something. When I look back, what did I write? Embarrassed to death.

"Sure enough, it's not that easy." Xia Yan actually expected this situation.

He still has some confidence in his Chinese skills, but good Chinese does not necessarily mean that the description of the novel will be smooth.

And although Xia Yan adapted the light novel according to the animation plot in his mind, it does not mean that the novel he wrote will definitely have the same excellent viewing experience as the original work.

Just like the girl named Yuan Qing who merged with Xia Yan's soul, there was an animation called Five Centimeters Per Second in her world. After the animation achieved success, two different versions of the official novel were actually adapted.

One version is a small version written by Makoto Shinkai, the original author of the animation, and the other version is a novel written by a professional novelist based on the original animation.

They are both novel versions of Second Five and have the same main story line. However, if you read the two official novels carefully, you will have a completely different reading experience.

Xia Yan took a long breath and looked at the puddle of words on the table that he had just written.

Too many irrelevant descriptions

While writing and revising, Xia Yan gradually became tired. Until he couldn't bear it anymore and went to bed, he wrote about two thousand novel articles by hand based only on the animation plot in his memory.

The speed is actually quite slow.

In sleep.

Xia Yan once again transformed into the girl named Yuan Qing in her dream.

The timeline of this dream did not continue from the part where I got off the plane and went to sleep last night.

This time, she was playing an online shooting game at her computer desk, controlling Cui Zhiyun, Anna and other female characters, and having a great time killing zombies.

"Hey, recall what you remember about the second half of the Journey of Youth animation you watched before! Why don't you play the yarn gun game instead?"

Xia Yan was complaining crazily in his mind, but it was obvious that the girl in her memory would not be disturbed by his words. After all, these were just memories.

In the early morning, Xia Yan woke up, CS, CF, dungeon, Genshin Impact.

During these eight hours, the girl had full accounts on her account, taking turns playing games, and did not follow the follow-up plot of the journey of youth at all.

However, Xia Yan thought it was quite interesting to watch other people play games, and he watched them for eight hours, and the girl's sense of satisfaction when playing games would be passed on to Xia Yan, so his gaming experience was actually very fulfilling.

After stretching, he looked at the desk again.

"Okay, come on! I have to write out at least the first few chapters of the novel today."

Xia Yan wrote hard and quickly, and his learning speed was also very fast. His writing, which was still jerky last night, became smoother.

It's really bad. I don't know how to describe a certain paragraph of text. I just picked up the existing light novels of Longguo for reference and saw how others dealt with it.

Gradually, there are more and more manuscripts on Xia Yan's desk. The novel about the journey of youth adapted from the campus, society, and environment of Longguo has also been successfully created in a decent way.

However, these are only first drafts. After writing, you need to check for typos, polish the article, and check again and again.

Three days later.

Xia Yan almost transformed the first 5.9 episodes of Journey of Youth that the girl named Yuan Qing in his soul had watched into a novel text of a quality he could recognize.

Why episode 5.9? Because before Xia Yan finished watching the end of the 6th episode of the animation, the girl went to bed and left him there.

In the past three days, Xia Yan only took on the girl's memory again in her sleep last night and went to the comic exhibition to participate in cosplay activities.

As for the past two nights, I just slept normally and nothing happened.

This also made Xia Yan understand that Xia Yan could not control this situation of chasing through Yuan Qing's soul memory in his sleep, at least at this stage. He could only see whether the situation would change in the future.

As for Xia Yan's review of his dream last night, to be honest, this feeling is wonderful. It is a brand-new feeling that Xia Yan has never experienced before. In the memory of his soul, he transforms into a cute girl in black stockings, wearing a gothic lolita costume and walking in a comic. Zhan enjoyed the admiration of passers-by, took photos, posted photos, hugged and played with friends with the high-quality female cosplayers Yuan Qing met in that world.

Snap!

Xia Yan slapped himself.

"How can you envy such a life? You are a man!" Xia Yan looked at himself in the mirror.

He was afraid of the idea that wearing Gothic Lolita women's clothing and attending comic exhibitions was actually quite interesting.

Am I a pervert?

Xia Yan spent a little more time to adjust his mentality.

There were five days left before the start of school. After school started, his time would not be so free, and what he needed now was to submit his light novel in the remaining five days.

Longguo, one of the most powerful countries on this planet, has a population of 1.5 billion, accounting for one-sixth of the world's population.

The overall national income has basically entered the high-income class, belonging to the upper-middle level in the world.

After the people got rid of the survival dilemma, like many middle- and high-income countries, sports, exercise, and entertainment industries flourished in this country.

Among them, the two-dimensional industry, which is mainly based on games, comics, novels, animations, etc., has developed into one of the pillar industries of Longguo in 30 years. Not only are these nationals of Longguo loved, these cultural works are also sold overseas and world-famous.

The public has a high acceptance of the two-dimensional industry, so the status of the creators of two-dimensional works naturally rises.

Well-known novelists, cartoonists, and animation creators enjoy a high status in China, and of course, their income is also huge.

The reason is simple. The island country in the memory of the girl named Yuan Qing is also a country with an extremely developed two-dimensional industry, but how many people are there in that area? Only 100 million people can create a group of animation, comics, and novel creators with high incomes in that world.

However, Longguo has a complete market of more than one billion people, and the income of creators of various two-dimensional works naturally exceeds that world.

Of course, signing a contract with a top publishing house is still a long way for Xia Yan. Those light novel serial publication platforms with sales of millions or even tens of millions per issue will never use the works of Xia Yan, a newcomer.

No matter how good your work is or how attractive the opening plot is.

Being a newcomer means great risks. There are countless cases of unfinished works, discontinued updates, disappearance of authors, and editors looking for authors to submit manuscripts. These things happen in the light novel industry of Longguo. Famous authors are all like this. Newcomers.

Those industry giants will not easily take risks to cooperate with newcomers.

So Xia Yan did not hesitate to submit the manuscripts he spent several days writing to those top bookstores.

And the headquarters of those top light novel serial companies are basically concentrated in several first-tier cities such as the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital. If Xia Yan submits his manuscripts by mail, the speed will be too slow.

His goal is to be located in the capital of Nan Province, the five large light novel serial bookstores in Nancheng.

The light novel industry is also very competitive. Except for a few top light novel publishers whose works can be sold nationwide and sell well in various provinces.

Most of the small, medium and large light novel publishers with headquarters only located in local provincial capitals, their published works are also popular in their own provinces, or in several provinces near their headquarters.

In fact, this is also normal. How can any company have the funds, strength and foundation to establish a national or even global sales network?

Regardless of the industry, it is very difficult to establish sales channels. To have influence in the local area is the result of a long period of fighting with other competitors.

However, although the influence of this kind of local novel serial bookstore in Nan Province cannot be like the top light novel publishing bookstores such as "Starry Sky Novel" and "Qingze Bookstore", the influence and distribution channels cover the whole Dragon Country.

But these five, at least in the scope of the base camp of Nan Province, the sales volume is not cheap. Just counting their sales volume of novel journals in the local area, it is not lower than the sales volume of those top national journals in Nan Province.

Of course, the quality of journal serial works must be much worse. The reason why the sales volume is similar is that local publishing companies only use their own sales territory to establish a local sales channel network, journal publicity, discount strength, etc., which naturally has certain advantages over those top bookstores that are distracted by the national market.

Since the internal strength cannot be compared, then practice external strength

After finding a printing shop to copy seven or eight copies of his handwritten manuscript, Xia Yan took out his student bus card and walked out of the gate of his community.
