Chapter 193 New Work
On the market, Magic Circle’s TV animation bd and the theatrical version of “The Story of Rebellion” are still in hot sales.
But employees within Xia Yan's company have already begun to focus on Xia Yan's two new animations, "I'll Wait for You in Seven Years" and "Cyberpunk. Edgewalker."
Taiwan Novel Network→𝗍𝗐𝗄𝖺𝗇.𝖼𝗈𝗆
"I'll be waiting for you in seven years" is a love fantasy animation that focuses on decryption, tear-jerking, and knife-throwing. The production cost of this kind of work is relatively average, so the production budget given by Xia Yan for the entire animation is 3,000 yuan. Wan. It is an animation with medium-level investment in the animation industry of Dragon Kingdom.
If this kind of animation is well produced, the discussion and popularity of the work will definitely be high. However, after all, it is a work whose original work is a pixel text decryption game. What kind of market response will it have after it is made into animation in Dragon Kingdom? Xia There is no reference case for comparison, so investment is more cautious.
Although Mo Yuan makes more money, Xia Yan earned all the money he earned by spending all his income in the two years of his debut in the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional world. It is impossible that he really has the mentality of a rich man now. Tens of millions doesn't matter. , if you lose, you lose.
"Cyberpunk. Edgewalker" is the focus of the company's production.
Moreover, Dragon Kingdom does not have the original game "Cyberpunk 2077" to ruin the anime, so it has a relatively high degree of freedom in creation.
In the company, all employees have been divided into two teams and have started the initial production preparations for the two animations.
And Xia Yan
He placed an order for the sports car that he had been dreaming about before entering college, and after entrusting an agent to help him find a suitable house, he also started writing a new novel.
My mind once again withdrew from the scattered memories.
Xia Yan started writing and wrote down the four characters of the title of his new novel.
"Sword Art Online".
In fact, Sword Art Online, as a two-dimensional work, is actually not as classic as Initial D and Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
But its influence in the island countries and even China in the parallel world is no worse than the above two works.
Moreover, the commercial value is extremely high. In the island country of the parallel world, several animations, theater versions, movies, and games have been produced one after another.
After all, the heroine of this work, Asuna, is very famous among the two-spined apes as Benzina for various reasons.
Moreover, the original light novel of this work is also among the top three most popular works in the parallel world island country light novel industry.
Moreover, Sword Art Online, a fantasy boy-girl romance adventure, is also in line with the mainstream taste of the Ryukoku light novel world.
It will not be like To the Moon and Parasite. Although it has a high reputation among fans, the number of fans limits the development of the two works. Even if the work has a high reputation, it will be difficult to be published in top light novel journals such as "Liu Li" Reach the top of popularity.
Xia Yan sorted out the plot of Sword Art Online in his mind and changed it into a novel suitable for Dragon Kingdom serialization based on the writing habits of fans of Dragon Kingdom novels.
In fact, the novels, animations, and comics serialized by Xia Yan in Dragon Kingdom will be different from the original works in the parallel world in some details, and it is impossible to copy the original works.
Otherwise, you will pounce.
Just like the original novel of Sword Art Online, it alternates between first-person and third-person perspectives. Obviously, this kind of thing will never work. For fans of Dragon Kingdom novels, the first-person perspective is a big poison.
In the same way, most light novels in parallel world island countries also use a similar personal perspective.
However, Xia Yan's adaptation mainly focuses on animation content, with the original novel as a supplement. After all, Yuan Qing is very lazy. Although her favorite works are animation and original novels, and she will read the comics, she must still focus on them. She spent more energy on the animation. As for the original work, she just translated it.
Fortunately, during this period, Xia Yan had finished drafting the storyboards for the next several chapters of Initial D, as well as some of the company's trivial business related to Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and left it all to Tang Yin and Song Lingjun to handle it, otherwise it would be like
Xia Yan couldn't even think about locking himself in a room for hours to write a novel without being disturbed.
One day, two days, three days later
In addition to necessary class activities, Xia Yan locked himself in his room to write novel manuscripts.
After all, within the agreed week, Xia Yan had to write at least four chapters of nearly 100,000 words of plot in order for Baixuan to submit Sword Art Online to the serialization meeting of the "Liu Li" journal.
To be honest, time is very tight.
But even when Xia Yan thinks he can squeeze out a few days of quiet time to write a novel, accidents always happen as scheduled.
In mid-to-late September, the person in charge of Sugar Man Film and Television Company contacted Xia Yan and announced that the animation movie "To the Moon" has been scheduled and will be released in early October.
This news came really suddenly.
Going to the Moon In May of last year, when Xia Yan was still in his senior year of high school, he became famous after being selected for the "New Gods Ascending" event and became famous in the Dragon Kingdom.
Then a month later, it was bought by Tang Yin's father's "Sugar Man" Pictures, which invested more than 20 million to adapt the work into an animated film.
A year and a half passed in a blink of an eye. Xia Yan changed from a high school student to a sophomore. His identity has changed from a high school student to a college student, a popular light novelist, a popular cartoonist, and the top animation screenwriter in the Dragon Kingdom.
Xia Yan looked at the plan notice sent to him by the other party's staff. The words "Go to the Moon" brought back Xia Yan's memories.
After a year of production and negotiations with Longguo Cinema, "To the Moon" was finally scheduled for October 3rd. To be honest, there are only two weeks left.
Of course, the copyright of the anime adaptation of "To the Moon" was sold for several million. For Xia Yan, this is a one-time deal. The release of the movie is none of his business. If he uses the excuse that he has no time, it is not impossible. .
However, he is the author of the novel after all. It would be too lazy if he did not contribute to the promotion of the movie. At least it would be inappropriate for him not to attend the fan promotion, premiere and other activities in the two regions of Shanghai and Beijing.
So.
Xia Yan sighed and looked at the chapter of the Sword Art Online novel that he had only written to the second chapter.
I have to stay up late.
When the movie of "To the Moon" is released, he, the original author of the novel, must spend at least a week to promote it with the film production team.
The creation of the storyboard of the Initial D manga and the manuscript of the novel all need to be written in the near future. Some extra chapters
The Longguo animation market is still dominated by Magical Girl Madoka.
But at this time, when the second volume of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie BD was released almost two weeks ago, the shortage of the market finally disappeared, and the long queues for Madoka Magica BD were no longer seen in the major peripheral stores.
And the total sales of the first and second volumes of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie "The Rebellion Story" have also exceeded 4.5 million copies, and the sales growth rate has slowed down.
After all, no matter how powerful a work is, it cannot continue to sell at such high sales, and the market will eventually become saturated.
A day later, Bai Xuan arrived as expected.
She wore a light green floral dress, a baseball cap, long hair draped over her shoulders, and high-heeled sandals.
Xia Yan rarely saw her dressed in casual clothes like this. To be honest, she looked much better than her usual workplace dress, just like a sister next door.
And Bai Xuan came with another person.
Xia Yan's new editor-in-charge "Li Mu" in Liuli Bookstore.
A man in his forties, slightly fat, with a somewhat amiable expression.
