A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

"I don't know how much you know about our book club, but let me give you a general introduction. Hongfeng Literature has a total of 103 periodicals of various sizes. It is one of the five major novel serial periodicals in Southern Province. These 100 There are three types of periodicals, including three-day magazines, weekly magazines, monthly magazines, and even annual magazines.”

Most of this is information that Xia Yan knows.

The two-dimensional culture of the Dragon Kingdom is prevalent, but unlike the parallel world, most of the Chinese animation novel journals in the parallel world in Xia Yan's memory are bimonthly or monthly.

In that island country, the source of the spread of two-dimensional culture in the world, light novels are published in single volumes, with irregular release intervals, while comics and animations are generally updated weekly.

As for the light novels of Dragon Kingdom, they are basically published in serial form. This model is quite similar to Mr. Jin in the parallel world when he wrote martial arts novels and initially serialized them in daily newspapers.

However, light novels that have become famous serialized in Dragon Kingdom are often released in single volumes. After all, if you can make money a second time, who wouldn’t want to make it?

From this point of view, the light novel reading of Dragon Kingdom is basically similar to the serialization model of Dragon Kingdom's domestic comics. The only difference is that the communication medium of the works is different.

The more culturally developed the area, the more stringent the update time for works.

In the Dragon Kingdom light novel world, some popular light novel journals even publish an issue every three days.

Each novel in the journal contains about 10,000 to 20,000 words per serial issue. The update speed of three days is not far behind the online literature in the parallel world. The difference is that one is a physical publication and the other is an online book.

After all, in the Dragon Country with a population of more than one billion, some people write novels well and some write fast, but if you want to get ahead in a cruel industry, you must write well and fast and be able to keep up. The publication speed of periodicals such as Three-Day Journal.

If you want to eat this bowl of rice, you have to be able to withstand the speed and quality of creation. Otherwise, Long Guo only recruits people in factories, which do not have many requirements for employment.

"Based on your situation, your book club's largest circulation journal "Red Maple" will definitely not work for you. After all, the editorial department will not agree to let a newcomer with no grades test the waters in the book club's front-end journal." Tang Yin said slowly.

"Red Maple" is Red Maple Literature's light novel journal with the largest circulation. Its circulation fluctuates around 700,000 copies. It is a typical three-day publication. Of course, it is said to be a three-day issue. In order to cultivate the purchasing habits of magazine fans, it is actually issued one issue every Wednesday and every Sunday. The issuance interval is three days and the four-day rotation.

When Xia Yan heard this, although he knew it was reasonable, he also felt a little disappointed.

"Actually, from my point of view, your youth journey is more interesting than many novels serialized in the "Red Maple" journal, but the problem is...your qualifications. There are no adventurous people in the senior management of our company, so boy... come on. , work hard, accumulate a certain amount of novel serialization achievements, and serializing works in "Red Maple" may not be a problem for you in the future," Tang Yin said softly.

"As for the serialization of novels in the company that are suitable for the genre of your youth journey, and recently, the above serialized novels are on the verge of being completed or cut in half, resulting in three journals that are vacant in the series." Tang Yin continued.

"First, "Xunyin". There is one serialization seat available. Secondly, "Instant Youth" has two serialization seats. Thirdly, "Orange Heart", this journal has three serialization seats available recently."

The three serial journals are all themed serial publications of light novels about girl romance.

"Xunyin" has a circulation of about 130,000 per issue. It is a very popular novel periodical under Hongfeng Literature.

"Orange Heart" has a circulation of only 30,000 per issue. It is a niche publication of Red Maple Literature.

As for "Instant Youth", each issue has a circulation of 250,000, and sometimes even reaches more than 300,000. It is the third highest circulation serial publication of Red Maple Literature. Most of the serials on it are high-quality submitted novels. , because of insufficient quality, it lost to other higher-quality novels at the serialization conference and lost the opportunity to be serialized in "Red Maple".

But it is impossible for the bookstore to give up these submissions. Therefore, it can be understood that they want to compete for the qualifications to be serialized in the journal "Red Maple", a publication where loser novels gather.

Moreover, the publication "Suna Youth" is different from "Red Maple". "Red Maple" will definitely not publish novels by newcomers, but "Suna Youth" is different. As long as everyone at the serialization meeting thinks you can do it .The works of newcomers can also be uploaded.

After Tang Yin's explanation, Xia Yan gradually understood the general status of these three journals.

There is no doubt that the best choice for serialization is "The Moment of Youth", followed by "Xunyin".

The sales volume of the journal determines the dissemination of the work. No matter how good the work is, if it is serialized in a journal that only 20,000 to 30,000 people will buy it, its influence will not be spread.

Moreover, the royalties Xia Yan can get are also related to the journal platform on which the novel is serialized.

"So, I will help you on your journey of youth and strive for serialization opportunities in these three journals at the serialization meeting the day after tomorrow, but I need to inform you about this first. If you have any opinions or ideas, you can put them forward." Tang Yin crossed her fingers with her hands, held her white chin and looked at Xia Yan.

"I can accept that the journey of youth will be serialized in the two periodicals "Jianna Youth" and "Xunyin", but as for "Orange Heart", forget it," Xia Yan said.

For a journal with a circulation of 30,000, the manuscript fee is only average. The most important thing is that the work "Journey of Youth" was wasted.

After all, in the parallel world that is no less cruel than the Dragon Kingdom in the two-dimensional world of the island country, from a comic book to an animated, movie, and novel work. Xia Yan showed the plot to Tang Yin, In fact, the essence of the story is not even written down.

The actual excitement of this work is much higher than the impression Tang Yin got from the first three chapters of the Journey of Youth novel.

In fact, it is definitely more than enough to serialize it in "Red Maple", and the quality of the work is extremely high. However, because I am a newcomer in the novel industry, and the company's senior management does not agree to serialize it, there is no way.

However, no matter which book publisher Xia Yan chooses to submit his manuscript to, this basic situation will not change. Therefore, Xia Yan can accept this work being serialized in periodicals such as "Instant Youth" and "Xunyin" with sales of hundreds of thousands, two or three hundred thousand per issue, but if it is serialized in "Orange Heart", That Xia Yan would rather submit the journey of youth to other book publishers.

"Yeah, I understand. I respect your opinion." Tang Yin paused for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Then our preliminary cooperation intention has been reached." Tang Yin smiled, and the office was filled with a bright scenery.

Tang Yin stretched out her white and delicate hands in front of Xia Yan.

"I hope we have a pleasant cooperation! If everything goes well, in three days, you will be one of my contracted novelist members!"

Xia Yan paused and reached out to hold her hand.

Soft, slightly cool, but powerful.

"Xia Yan, although your work has not been approved at the serialization meeting, from my perspective, I have to tell you in advance so that you can prepare for a rainy day. It's best for you to take advantage of the time now, before the novel is officially launched. Serialize and clearly conceive the follow-up plot of "Journey of Youth"," Tang Yin said with a smile on her beautiful face.

"Although the results of the serialization meeting are still unknown, you must be prepared to have your work decided by serialization. Both the periodicals Setsuna Fanghua and Xunyin are three-day issues, and are published simultaneously across the entire southern province every Wednesday and Sunday. A novel of about fifteen chapters can actually be serialized from the beginning to the end in just one or two months. Don’t tell me that the deadline is approaching and you are stuck and have no inspiration, causing you to fail to submit the manuscript."

"At that time, I will rush you to your home to urge the manuscript. No matter what method I use, even if I keep you awake for three days in a row, I will definitely squeeze out all your strength and let you complete the task as scheduled. Well, deliver the manuscript smoothly." Here, Tang Yin may have felt that the words were ambiguous, so she added two more words.

"Also, if the plot of your novel collapses in the later stage, the book society will take the initiative to cut off your work, but as a contracted novelist, you must not disappear, let alone take the initiative to cut off the work during the serialization of the novel, even more so."

Tang Yin still had that indifferent smile on her face, but her tone was a bit dangerous.

"Otherwise, I will never be so easy to talk to."

Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He knows it very well.

It is true that I only know the first half of the plot of the journey of youth.

But at this moment, the man cannot lose his momentum.

"Don't worry, Tang editor Xia Yan dared to step into the world of light novels. I never thought that I would have such a problem as the plot being stuck. So far, my creative career has been smooth, and my ideas have not been blocked at all. It was like this before. In the future, updates will inevitably be cut off, delayed, and unfinished. Words like eunuch have no connection with me in this life.”

Xia Yan's expression was high-spirited and his tone was resounding. He himself was infected by the emotions he pretended.

"It better be so."

Tang Yin sat down, tilted her head slightly, looked at Xia Yan's face carefully with her spring-clear pupils, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't call me editor Tang next time. I don't like this kind of title. I feel like those old editors. The title makes me feel older. From now on, just call me Tang Yin."

"How about calling her Sister Tang?" Xia Yan still felt it wasn't appropriate.

"When I was growing up, many people called my aunt Sister Tang. So I didn't like this call since I was a child."

Xia Yan saw Tang Yin's slightly narrowed eyes and immediately changed his mind and followed her wishes.

"Tang Yin."

When Tang Yin heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, I won't waste your time anymore. In three days at most, you will know the review results of Journey of Youth at our Red Maple Literature serialization meeting."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan quickly left Tang Yin's office.

To be honest, Xia Yan felt a certain amount of pressure during the second half of the conversation with her.

Mainly because she was talking about breaking the watch, delaying the watch, and being an eunuch, with a very dangerous tone in her tone.

Xia Yan felt guilty.

Because he was thinking about this, Xia Yan didn't even notice that when he entered the elevator, he passed by a girl wearing a mask.

The other party was the girl who took the elevator with him yesterday to submit his article.

Song Lingjun turned her head curiously and looked at Xia Yan's leaving figure until the elevator door closed.

After standing and thinking for a few seconds, she also walked to Tang Yin's office with the revised manuscript of Yesterday's Starry Sky.
