A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Xia Yan's "To the Moon" was ranked first, while Song Lingjun's "Hongse's Destiny" was ranked ninth.

Both of them had serial scores in the top ten in this New God's Ascension Journal, so they were naturally invited by the organizing committee to participate in the awards ceremony for the newcomers' ascension.

Xia Yan's first place was a gold medal.

There will be a gold-plated trophy as a prize.

Song Lingjun ranked ninth.

You will receive the Outstanding Newcomer Award trophy, a silver trophy.

Of course, the trophy itself is not valuable; what is valuable is

After participating in receiving the award, the organizing committee of the New Gods will publish the top ten works during the serialization period of this journal into their own single-volume novels, and arrange for the release of single volumes.

Historically, as long as there is an opportunity to publish a single volume organized by the organizing committee of the seven major book societies, the minimum single volume sales of this novel is 1.61 million copies of a single volume.

What does this mean?

In other words, in your career as a professional novelist, no matter what the results of your previous works are, after the organizing committee helps publish the single volume of your novel, you will definitely be able to create a single-volume light novel that sells over one million copies. Achievement Writer.

This achievement can be said to be an important watershed in the world of Longguo novels.

In addition, this is a public welfare award event, and the judges of the seven major book societies do not look down on this income. As long as it can cover their publicity and distribution costs for the sales of these single books, most of the remaining benefits will go directly to the creators. .

Therefore, the royalty share will reach an astonishing 15%.

In other words, the novels that make the final top ten list will contribute at least three million dragon country coins to the creator.

Coupled with the sale of copyrights and the top ten picks, the creator can be regarded as a novel writer with an outstanding resume in the Dragon Kingdom light novel world. In the future, he will go to the Magic City and the Imperial City area to join the seven major If the book club serializes new novels, it won't be so difficult.

But the problem is

"Song Lingjun, have you thought clearly? At that time, it will be broadcast live on Imperial TV Station. If you want to get this opportunity for the seven major book publishers to help publish the single volume of the novel and let novel fans all over the Dragon Kingdom know you, you have to go and get it in person. Award, and once you go to receive the award in person, you can’t hide your identity.”

Xia Yan looked at Song Lingjun and asked in a heavy voice.

Song Lingjun naturally doesn't care what a group of classmates at school think of her, but she should care about what her family thinks of her.

"In life, there are always choices." Hearing this, Song Lingjun was silent for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face. ♡♢ ♦ ♦

"It's nothing more than being scolded by my father and mother, and the result is even worse. It's just being kicked out by them. My current income can support myself. If they really don't agree with me taking the path of a novelist, then there's nothing I can do about it. , I can only be selfish for the sake of life." Song Lingjun stared at Xia Yan.

"I have decided. I will not leave this industry until I surpass you in this life. After losing to someone three times, and then leaving the industry in despair, I habitually call such people the losers in life." ."

Don't get involved with me

Xia Yan's expression froze.

He himself was still worried about whether fans would scold him for cheating after his true identity as an innocent boy was revealed. Song Lingjun's words made it seem as if it was because of herself that she decided to fight to the end in the novel industry.

This made Xia Yan even more stressed.

What if she never beats me in her whole life? Will she be too resentful and turn into a ghost after death, chasing me around in hell?

However, Song Lingjun has this idea because her family's conditions are really good, her parents are rich, and their biggest goal is to train her into an outstanding talent to inherit the family business, so Song Lingjun can be willful in her choice of life path.

After all, neither I nor my parents are under financial pressure. Then spiritual and hobbies life pursuits can be ranked first.

If her family was very poor and the whole family saved money to support her education and expected her to become a talented person in the future, then Song Lingjun would definitely choose the safest career development path instead of pursuing her dreams.

"And now we're talking about work matters."

After seeing that both of them had made up their minds, Tang Yin nodded slightly and then skipped the topic.

"Business?" Xia Yan asked curiously.

"About you." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan.

"Didn't I say it before? My father runs an animation, film and television production company in Shanghai. He seems to have taken a liking to your movie "To the Moon" and wanted to make it into a live-action movie, so he asked me to ask you. Are you willing to cooperate?”

"Eh? Ask me? This kind of thing is not a book club." After Xia Yan said a sentence, he immediately reacted.

The New God Ascension Journal is a selective event, and the copyright of each work belongs to the novel author, so Red Maple Literature cannot get involved.

The same goes for the organizers of New God Ascension.

The decision-making power on how to operate and sell the copyright for Going to the Moon rests 100% with Xia Yan.

"Of course, you don't have to feel any pressure because of my relationship with you. In the next period of time, there should be many companies that will find you and contact you one after another about the copyright development of going to the moon. You choose which one you think has the most potential. Just cooperate with the company that offers the most reasonable price. But as for me, I will take the shortcut and convey my company’s willingness to cooperate and the company’s situation to give you a deeper impression.”

Tang Yin said with a smile, and then handed a document to Xia Yan.

Inside, there was a general introduction to her company.

Xia Yan took the document with a curious expression.

"Okay. Let's stop here for business. You two have written three novels in this year, and you have been busy with your studies and haven't had much fun. There is another game exhibition this weekend. As usual, come to my house in advance and I will take you to play." Tang Yin said with a smile.

After all, the New God Ascension Novel Journal is just a novel selection event held every two years for three months. Its popularity comes and goes quickly.

However, although the publication of the journal has ended, the popularity of the work "To the Moon" is still fermenting in the Dragon Country light novel industry.

In April, various bookstores issued a guide to the Dragon Country Spring Novel Recommendation List!

Almost every such recommendation list must have the name of the novel "To the Moon".

→

When novel fans in various forums are short of books and post questions about what unpopular and good novels there are in Dragon Country this year.

There are always recommendations for the novel "To the Moon" in the comments below.

When a group of Longguo novel fans were discussing which novel had a touching plot and made people want to cry.

Xia Yan, the ubiquitous and sticky novel fans in Longguo, not only brought up the title of the novel "To the Moon", but also recommended "Anohana" by the way.

Two consecutive works are both depressing and tear-jerking novels, which also made "Yuan Qing", a mysterious high school female writer from the southern province, gradually covered by fans with a veil of "depressing and tear-jerking works" creator.

In mid-to-late April, the organizer of the New God Ascension officially announced on the official website that on Sunday, May 5,

the award ceremony for the top ten novels in the novel selection of New God Ascension will be broadcast live on the Imperial Capital TV4 channel at 7 pm.

And free live viewing tickets have been issued to all Longguo novel fans, totaling 5,000 tickets. The way to obtain tickets is to be a reader who has voted and rated when the New God Ascension journal was serialized, and actively apply on the official website.

The deposit is 200 yuan, and it will be refunded after you confirm your arrival. If you win the admission ticket through the lottery but don't come, the money will not be refunded to prevent people from deliberately making trouble.

All the students of the Nan Province No. 3 Middle School where Xia Yan is located were collectively excited after learning the news

"So the true identities of Yuan Qing and Ning Yun, who have not revealed any news for a whole year, are about to be exposed?"

"Oh my god, I will take a good look at the TV at that time to see who the two great gods are. One topped the New God Ascension Journal and the other ranked ninth. It really makes us Nan Province novelists proud."

"Haha, on May 5th, these two people will have their identities exposed in front of all Longguo novel fans. Let's see if you are still hiding. You are such a good novelist, why are you hiding your identity? . "

"That's right, I think the two of them have been so proud of themselves and have been promoting their serialized novels in school."

"If you are famous, you should publicize it. Why do you do the Jinyi Yexing? My sister asked me for Yuanqing's autograph but I couldn't give it to her. It's so embarrassing!"

"I want to ask, how much can these two people earn after achieving such results in the New God Ascension Journal? I'm not jealous, I just want to know."

"Ningyun's performance is not as good as Yuanqing's, but judging from the performance of the previous two novels, he has made more than one million yuan anyway. As for Yuanqing, to be honest, his Youth Journey single volume has two volumes, and the average volume is now close to 600,000 The volume of the single-volume novel of Anohana is 1.8 million copies each, but it is out of stock in all provinces of Longguo now. It will take another week for the single-volume novel of Anohana to be successfully distributed in Longguo. By then, it is estimated that this data will increase a lot. Yuanqing must have made at least 7 or 8 million copies by writing novels for a year. In addition to the publication of the novel serialized by the two of them on the steps to the new god, Yuanqing will probably make more than 10 million just from the three novels serialized in high school. And this does not include the serialization fee, copyright fee, and peripheral income. "

"So much?"

"Damn, I have to ask my mom for money for a glass of milk. Now My classmate from the same school is so fierce? .I was a bit shocked. Ten million, I can't earn that in my whole life if I work normally after I get into college! "

"Be bold, with the current average salary level of Longguo, you can earn 50,000 yuan a year. If you work for 40 years, you will have to work without food and drink for five lifetimes."

"."

"Now you can see who around you might be Yuan Qing. While her identity is not announced, be bold and pursue her. Young man, this is how you can find shortcuts in life. Finding a first-generation rich girlfriend in high school is the best way."

In the campus forum of Nancheng No. 3 Middle School, as well as in the conversations of students in the classroom after class.

This week is almost all about Yuan Qing and Ning Yun.

These two light novel writers can be said to have become the focus of attention of all students of Nancheng No. 3 Middle School in the past year, and campus stars.

Many fans of their books in many schools have even submitted applications on the official website of the New God Ascension. If they are lucky enough to get a ticket to the scene, they will really go to the scene to support their alumni in the uniform of Nancheng No. 3 Middle School.

Xia Yan's mood changed from being nervous at the beginning, to being relaxed later, and now lying flat.

It's just that his identity is exposed. Being a campus star won't be a big deal.

When Xia Yan saw a classmate sitting at the side of his desk saying that Yuan Qing must be a great beauty and listed seven pieces of evidence to explain why she might be the monitor of Class 5, "Ye Wu", a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

You are so curious, right?

I will give you a surprise in two weeks.

In the next few days, Xia Yan prepared for his trip to the imperial capital in May.

At the same time, the single volume of the novel "Anohana" was finally distributed throughout the country of Longguo.

Why are there only a few national novel journals in Longguo? Let alone building a reliable and stable sales and promotion channel across the country, even printing enough single volumes in a short time is a big challenge for Hongfeng Literature.

One month after the completion of the animation of "Anohana", the popularity of this novel has not diminished. At the beginning, it was a group of fans of the animation of "Anohana" who went to the New God Ascension Journal to support going to the moon. Now

it is a group of fans of the novel "Going to the Moon" who started to find the novels written by Yuan Qing before to read.

Half a year after the novel "Anohana" was completed, the sales of the single volume ushered in a second spring. In the nine days from April 22nd to 31st.

In the 17 provinces of Longguo, the two volumes sold a total of 2.11 million copies.

Including the previous sales, the average sales of this novel volume soared by one million copies in a week, reaching 2.8 million copies.

This is the sales bonus of the original novel after the animation, and of course it is also the weight of the author name [South Province "Yuanqing"] in the hearts of Longguo novel fans.

On the Jiuyou animation side, the preparation activities for the sale of CDs for the animation peripherals of Anohana must also be completed. In late May, these products will officially enter the Longguo two-dimensional peripheral market.

As for Xia Yan's first debut work "Youth Journey", thanks to the popularity of Going to the Moon and Anohana, there are also a large number of orders from distributors in 17 provinces of Longguo.

Time passes.

April ends and May comes.

Xia Yan and Song Lingjun were preparing to set off for the imperial capital.
