A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Soon, another Chinese New Year is coming.

But this year, Xia Yan is not as listless about this New Year as before, but full of fighting spirit.

After all, he was alone before, but now he has a wife and a daughter.

How he feels about the New Year now is completely different.

I took the initiative to buy New Year goods, firecrackers, and fireworks, and rolled up my sleeves, preparing to show off my skills during the New Year and cook myself.

"Twenty-six years old" on New Year's Eve.

Xia Yan said softly.

"You're only twenty-six, why are you panicking? I'm seven or eight years older than you and I still feel young." Tang Yin, whose health has almost recovered, is wearing a red dress at home, with red lips and white teeth, and a pretty face that can be easily broken. He laughed teasingly.

She held Xia Yu in her arms. The little baby looked curiously at the fireworks outside the window and laughed loudly. He was not at all frightened by the sound of the fireworks.

"I just feel that time flies faster than before. I just sigh. I remember when I was six years old, I felt that a year was so long... but now, it feels so short."

"That's for sure!" Tang Yin said.

"Every year a six-year-old child spends is one-sixth of his life, and when you are twenty-five, one year is the same as one-twenty-fifth of his life." , but the span of life is different, there will definitely be a difference in feelings." Tang Yin put Xia Yu in the crib and held Xia Yan's hand.

"But don't worry." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan.

"No matter how much time you have to spend in the future, how long your life is...my daughter and I will always be by your side."

Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his face suddenly became hot.

Tang Yin laughed quickly when she saw this.

"Xia Yan, how old are you now? You're still like you were in high school. You say a few provocative words and your face turns red with embarrassment. It's amazing for your fans to see you."

When Xia Yan saw this, he felt angry and picked up Tang Yin, who was still laughing, in his arms, and then kissed her hard.

After a long while, Tang Yin, who was blushing terribly, gasped and said.

"Xia Yu is watching from the side, don't teach the children badly."

"She can't understand, don't fool me here." Xia Yan said with a smile.

Tang Yin immediately begged for mercy, and then Xia Yan let her go.

At twelve o'clock at midnight, huge fireworks went up all over the Magic City area.

It lit up the night sky, and also illuminated the eyes of Xia Yan, Tang Yin, and their daughter Xia Yu.

The next morning, Song Lingjun and Mo Ran came to pay New Year's greetings.

In the next few days, leaders of the companies Xia Yan worked with, editors of the book club and comic club, and the company's middle and senior management came to say hello one after another.

Officials from the Dragon Kingdom even came three times to invite Xia Yan to attend the Lantern Festival party in the imperial capital on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Xia Yan had no choice but not to give face to the official.

So on the night of the Lantern Festival, he appeared at the party as a guest.

This directly caused the ratings of this year's Lantern Festival Gala to reach the highest record in history.

It rose 3%, approaching the 13% ratings mark.

After all, Xia Yan is the only one who can make those teenagers who are obsessed with the second dimension watch the Lantern Festival show.

New year, new beginning.

Suzuya's Journey was released with a box office of 935 million.

One Piece and Naruto animations have been launched one after another.

Now that the manga has only been serialized for more than sixty chapters, the animation serialization has begun.

Related peripheral products have sprung up on the market overnight.

And in March, the second-generation Pokémon game was released.

The primary and secondary school students of Dragon Country, who had been waiting for a whole year and could only rely on Pokémon animations to satisfy their cravings, collectively used their New Year's money to teach the gaming community of Dragon Country a lesson this spring.

Do you look down on primary school students?

Look down on children's games?

Pokémon sold 6.8 million copies in one week, and 11 million copies in one month worldwide.

It completely shattered the entire Dragon Kingdom and even the world's gaming industry.

What's going on?

How is this possible?

It has been two years since the first Pokémon game was released, and its total sales have only been a little over five to six million.

The sales volume of this second-generation game exceeds 10 million in a month?

Why?

But this is just the beginning.

In the next half month, Xia Yan spent hundreds of millions of promotional funds to buy GG in prime time on official CCTV stations in many countries around the world.

Moreover, to TV industry leaders from various countries who want to buy the rights to broadcast Pokémon animations, the broadcast rights are sold at very low conditions.

Under the influence of game promotion and animation broadcast promotion, the sales of the second-generation Pokémon game did not decline in the second month.

Even in May, Xia Yan's Xia Tang animation officially began to announce the production decision of the Pokémon live-action TV series.

A series of combination punches directly made the title Pokémon a well-known work in the Dragon Kingdom.

As for the reputation score of the Pokémon 2 game, it was released with an explosive score of 9.4 points.

Various exaggerated news headlines appeared one after another.

[Xia Yan makes a big move into the gaming industry. 】

[Regarding the five-year investment plan of 1.3 billion for the Pokémon game announced, Xia Tang Animation’s work is so terrifying. 】

[In addition to the fields of animation, comics, novels, and TV series being dominated by Xia Yan’s works, the game industry seems to be unable to escape its clutches. Xia Yan is the god of the two-dimensional industry! 】

[Pokémon 2’s global game sales exceeded 20 million in two months. Relevant organizations predict that within one year of release, global sales of Pokémon are likely to exceed 30 million copies, becoming the number one selling game of the year. 】

【why is that? Is this the miracle brought about by Crazy Xia Yan? Why is the Pokémon game so popular, even among children? Many adult game fans are also obsessed with this game? Is a game where you collect Pokémon with Poké Balls really so attractive? 】

[Pet-raising game? Xia Yan opens up a new type of game theme. 】

[Overseas Pokémon fans are rushing to buy Pikachu dolls at a price increase of 21 times, but Pokémon peripherals are still hard to find overseas. 】

[The topic of Pokémon-related works has swept through primary and secondary schools in Longguo. Xia Yan’s work, which was established four years ago, was not favored by everyone when it was first established, but now it seems to have the potential to become a blockbuster IP. 】

[Pokémon has three games being produced at the same time, and the latest one is rumored to be released before the Spring Festival next year. After the news came out, fans of Pokémon in the Dragon Kingdom gathered late at night and were complained by residents in the community. 】

Several years of preparation, publicity, and secretly spreading the influence of Pokémon finally paid off this spring.

Although there is still a long way to go before Pokémon in the parallel world are known to the world, Xia Yan is already very satisfied with this development speed.

The establishment of relevant projects is not stingy with funds.

Pokémon, which was born four years ago, is already expected to become the annual game sales champion this year.

What about another five years? What about ten years?

Time passes.

Six years flew by.

On the bustling streets of Magic City, people are coming and going.

It's another cold winter.

The Spring Festival has just passed, and people on the street are full of joy.

The famous two-dimensional commercial street in Shanghai.

Walking through it at this moment, you can see it.

The poster of One Piece Luffy comes into view.

But at the same time, the poster of Naruto Sasuke Sharingan also occupied the C position of street promotion.

On the street, all kinds of two-dimensional fans dressed in cosplay costumes were discussing something excitedly.

"Damn it! Old thief Xia Yan still has no news about the Hunter comic being relaunched this year. Has he really forgotten the Hunter comic? It's been five years, and it's been five years since I stopped updating. Do you know what I've been doing in the past five years? Are you here?" A young man dressed in Sword Kirito's black and white knight uniform said with a decadent look.

"Don't you play sword games and Pokémon 4 games at home all day long? Don't mention it. I just want to see the ending of this comic in my lifetime. You can slow down the old thief, but don't let it end." A little brother who cosplayed Artoria also said.

"But it is rumored that the old thief is expected to restart the Sword Art Online IP and start a new chapter of the Sword Art Online novel."

"Stop talking about it, it's just a piece of cake. It's said that the old thief just described the plot of the skipped chapter of Sword Art Online in detail, and named it Sword Art Online Attack Chapter."

"Haha, it's just a piece of cake? When the time comes, don't buy this single-volume novel that's a piece of cake."

“I said this, when the time comes, I should have bought the single line but I still have to buy it!”

"Speaking of novels, Song Lingjun's last novel beat the old thief's Fate series to the top of Liuli's popularity statistics for seven weeks during the four years it was serialized. Although overall, the sales volume is still not as good as Fate, but next month Her new novel, Blood of the Stars, has started to be serialized. I feel like she might have a real chance to challenge the old thief for the top spot!”

→

"But it is said that the old thief's new light novel A Certain Magical Index will be serialized at about the same time. Don't think too much. Song Lingjun is growing up. Will the old thief stay still?"

"Nowadays, in the traditional two-dimensional field, only Song Lingjun poses such a threat to the old thieves in the field of novels. In the field of games, the third and fourth generations of Pokémon games have dominated sales performance. There are no enemies in sight. This game has been in the past few years. I made almost 7 billion Dragon Kingdom coins for the old thief, it’s really a big money-printing IP!”

"Stop talking about it, in the animation field, the old thief released the first season of Attack on Titan last year, which directly turned the challenger into a scumbag. I can only say that the old thief is just too lazy to make a new animation, but he has not done anything for three years, and he is close to him as soon as he does it. Yin Chuan, the so-called genius animation screenwriter who has been extremely active for the past three years, was killed. Anyway, it made me laugh to death. That guy even said before confronting Giant Animation that he wanted to defeat the myth of the old thief in the animation industry and pull the old thief down. Altar. Hahaha”

"It's pure black history."

"As for comics, there are two giants in the world of Pirates and Naruto comics. Both comics have sold more than 30 million copies, pushing Hunter's record directly to the third place in history. There is nothing to say. These two comics have been The old thief made nearly 10 billion in 2018, which is outrageous.”

"The two works of One Piece and Naruto are really powerful! The popularity of Pirates six years ago has been incredible, but Naruto, together with the three major works of Pokémon, have directly opened up overseas markets for Pirates, allowing him to The global influence has doubled, which is really awesome.”

On the street, a cute and overly beautiful little girl of five or six years old, wearing a red hat and thick clothes, holding two hands and wearing masks, but just looking at their temperament, you can clearly feel that they must be very beautiful. woman's hands.

"Sister Song, Sister Mo, are they all discussing dad's works?" The little girl looked at the two adults beside her curiously.

"Yes. Your father is very famous." The woman known as Sister Song said with a smile. Although she was wearing a mask, the smile in her eyes still fascinated a group of passers-by.

"Really? But I always feel that he is inferior. He always loses to me when playing guessing games with me at home. It turns out that he is so popular." said the little girl.

"Is it possible that he lost to you on purpose?" On the other side, the woman named Sister Mo said.

"Absolutely impossible." The little girl said.

"Why?" Sister Mo asked back.

"Okay, we're here." Sister Song looked forward.

There, a handsome young boy, also wearing a mask, was holding the hand of another girl, also wearing a mask.

"It's so cold. Thank you for helping me take care of my daughter for ten days, otherwise my wife and I would have no chance to travel." Xia Yan looked at Song Lingjun and Mo Ran, as well as his beloved daughter Xia Yu, and smiled.

"Damn, how come you two are getting younger and younger." Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan and Tang Yin carefully and said unhappily.

"Does it mean that your skin gets better in winter?"

"You should find a boyfriend quickly, and your physical fitness will get better." Tang Yin joked beside him.

"This is just pseudoscience." Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan and then said softly.

Xia Yu looked at her father, mother and two older sisters beside her, and looked confused.

But this did not affect her good mood.

She dragged her parents and two sisters into the crowd.

"We finally got here today. Don't stand on the street and chat. Let's go eat something delicious, play something fun, and buy a bunch of dolls and toys." The little girl was full of energy.

The four followed her with helpless expressions.

They walked all the way in from the commercial street.

One Piece, Naruto, Pikachu, Rocket Turtle, Charizard, Armored Titan, Colossal Titan, King Ant, Fullmetal Alchemist's character cosplayers, serialized promotional posters of the Magical Index, and the promotional posters of the Demon Slayer animation to be broadcast next quarter, as well as some popular character cosplayers of Song Lingjun's works.

It's called a two-dimensional commercial street, but in fact.

"Why do all of them feel so familiar!" Xia Yu said puzzledly, holding her finger.

"Hehe." Mo Ran laughed.

"You say, if a few of us suddenly disappeared from this world, would the Dragon Country's two-dimensional industry collapse by more than half!"

"It's not that exaggerated. Without us, there will be other talented creators' works to fill the market." Tang Yin laughed.

"But there will never be someone like Xia Yan in Longguo again. Without Xia Yan, Longguo's two-dimensional industry will not be as glorious as it is today." Song Lingjun said.

"Don't flatter me. I'm just an ordinary person who goes shopping with my daughter." Xia Yan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Does that person look like Xia Yan?"

Suddenly, a boy next to him pointed at the great Xia Yan wearing a mask and shouted.

Xia Yan's expression changed. What the hell? Can you recognize him even with a mask?

"That's right, the one next to him seems to be Tang Yin, the vice chairman of Xia Tang Animation. The other two women seem to be the great cartoonist Mo Ran, the popular light novelist, and the second-ranked Song Lingjun in Longguo?"

Song Lingjun, Tang Yin, and Mo Ran also changed their expressions.

Xia Yan grabbed his daughter Xia Yu's hand and carried her on his back, then grabbed his wife Tang Yin with his left hand, and Tang Yin grabbed Song Lingjun and Mo Ran.

"Run!" Xia Yan shouted loudly.

The four of them knew the consequences of being recognized here.

If they were a little less lucky, they would be surrounded by tens of thousands of fans asking for autographs.

Xia Yan led the way in front, dragging his wife and two friends along with him as they ran wildly.

This scene was filmed by passers-by who did not know the truth.

And the next day, these videos will be listed on the Dragon Country Hot Search List, becoming another joke of Xia Yan's desperate running after being recognized by fans while walking on the two-dimensional commercial street.

Xia Yan ran out of the commercial street and came to a private room in a coffee shop.

Looking at the beautiful and rosy faces of Song Lingjun, Mo Ran, and his wife Tang Yin, who were also panting, and his daughter Xia Yu, who was lying on his back and was so excited that she thought she was riding a human train.

Several people were stunned, but then laughed out loud.

"What a pity, we originally planned to take a good walk around this commercial street, and then visit the comic exhibition held in the hall at the end of the street, and buy some peripherals to take back." Mo Ran said.

"Me too." Song Lingjun smiled and said softly.

"I was planning to take my daughter Xia Yu to see how great her father is and how many fans her father's works have at the comic exhibition. It was a bad idea." Tang Yin shook her head.

"Don't regret it. If you don't have a chance this year, come back next year." Xia Yan smiled.

"What if there is no chance next year?" Song Lingjun asked back.

"Then the year after next, or the year after next. I don't believe that we will be recognized every year." Xia Yan said.

"Then it's a deal. Come again next year. I don't believe that the four of us can't even enjoy a normal commercial exhibition or comic exhibition?" Mo Ran said.

"I have no objection." Song Lingjun said.

"I agree."

"Then it's settled." Xia Yan said.

"And me, and me." Xia Yu also said hurriedly.

Outside the private room of the coffee shop, the waiter looked excited. Through the crack in the door, he secretly watched the people talking in the private room, and then posted a candid photo of the people in the fan group he joined.

After the picture was posted, it was captioned "You definitely don't know who came to my part-time coffee shop?"

This news quickly spread in this local ACG group of thousands of people.

At this moment, the few people who were still waiting for drinks in the box had not realized.

In the next ten minutes, they would face such terrifying fans' enthusiasm.

Xia Yan, Tang Yin, Song Lingjun, Mo Ran, and their daughter Xia Yu were still immersed in the joy of the New Year.

The smiles on their faces were just like in high school more than ten years ago.

The few of them chatted briefly about family matters and the past.

Then, they were blocked by thousands of fans who came to ask for autographs and photos. On the same day, they were on the hot search news.

The two-dimensional industry in Longguo is still developing.

Capable new creators are springing up.

But at least until today, and in the foreseeable future,

no one can see who can challenge Xia Yan's position in the industry.

The story of Xia Yan, the god of the industry, the tear-jerking devil, and the godfather of the two-dimensional in Longguo, will continue for a long time in the future.

The end.
