Chapter 115 Decision

"Parasite beast? Madoka Magica?"

Xia Yan was in a weird mood in Yuan Qing's dream memory. ♙♕ ♦ ♦

This kind of work, which makes people excited when they hear the name, is probably another two boring works.

Yuan Qing's memories appear every now and then, but most of them are meaningless memory contents.

In the year since he obtained her memory, Xia Yan has not only seen a few works that have been published in this world in her memory.

For example, Stigmata Alchemist, Restoration Warlock, High School Dragon Within Dragon, School Apocalypse and other violent and bloody works that are not suitable for children, Xia Yan has also seen them in her memory.

But it is obviously not suitable for publication in Dragon Kingdom.

Xia Yan thought tonight would be the same, but saw two equally boring works in Yuan Qing's memory.

Yuan Qing, at the beginning, he clicked on the Parasite Beast anime to watch.

The earth has been invaded by unknown alien beasts. The alien beasts will invade human brains, disguise themselves as humans, and then kill humans.

This setting, at first glance, seems unremarkable.

But the work Parasite is about human nature from beginning to end.

Regardless of fighting, the improvement of the protagonist's ability is secondary. In the process, his mood changes, from a passionate young man to a heart of steel, and then to the revelation of the purpose of the parasitic beasts, the riot, and the final work. The style was sublimated in the mayor's speech.

Many people may have objections to calling it a masterpiece, but calling it a top-notch masterpiece should be something that most people can agree with.

Moreover, among the three major food series, it is the only one that does not have a bad ending, and the ending sublimates the whole work.

Xia Yan originally thought that this work would become vulgar later on, but the more he looked at it.

The higher you go!

The protagonist's inner journey, inner struggle, the development of the story, and the reflection on who is righteous between humans and parasitic beasts.

Xia Yan finished watching this work with a shock to his brain. As for the girl Yuan Qing, she burst into tears. She was typing with her friends and yelled at her for being a liar. It was a bloody battle series and it was another anime that tricked tears.

However, after his friend assured him that the magic circle was very warm and healing, Yuan Qing once again believed his friend's lies.

A few more hours

After the twelve episodes of Magic Circle animation are over.

Not to mention Yuan Qing, Xia Yan was also depressed.

"Nima, is Yuan Qing's friend sick? What good will lying do to her?" Xia Yan covered his head and wiped his red eyes with a towel.

I went to bed early last night just to be mentally prepared for today's exam.

Unexpectedly, I was depressed all night, and I was still thinking about the plot until I was waiting outside the college entrance examination school for the entrance exam.

Parasitic beast, Q shell, magical girl, human being.

Who is right and who is wrong?

But Xia Yan didn't notice that after he arrived at the entrance of the school where the exam was taken, people around him started to point fingers at him.

"Hey, did you see that?"

"What?"

"Yuan Qing, Xia Yan."

"Holy shit, it's really him."

"In the same examination room as us?"

"I'll go, I'm a fan of his."

"I have been fantasizing about marrying him for the past year."

"Me too, I want to cry now. Why is he a boy? I thought he must be a cute girl."

"Actually, he would look good if he dressed as a woman."

"Don't say that, or I'll get even more excited."

"No matter, let's go get the autograph first."

Outside the examination center, a group of students became more and more excited as they talked. They all came over and frantically asked Xia Yan to sign their autographs.

Xia Yan was stunned on the spot. Fortunately, there were security personnel outside the examination room. When they saw something was wrong, they immediately came over and escorted Xia Yan into the examination room.

Xia Yan still had lingering fears after entering the examination center classroom.

Although his identity has been exposed for a month, he still hasn't adapted to his status as a star in the novel industry.

Xia Yan cleared away all the distracting thoughts in his head, including the plot of last night's work and the influence of his previous enthusiastic book fans.

Then wait until the time for the college entrance examination comes and the marking teacher distributes the test papers

Xia Yan's eyes narrowed.

His grades may not be good, but at least his mental quality is pretty good.

How many people are afraid of society after graduating from college? They falter and are speechless during their first job interview. Their hearts beat wildly when they see HR.

But Xia Yan, receiving an award for the first time, was able to talk eloquently in front of five thousand people, in front of millions of TV viewers.

The pressure of exams, with deliberate adjustments, turned into motivation.

There was a Chinese test in the morning, a math test in the afternoon, a comprehensive test in the morning the next day, and a foreign language test in the afternoon.

After the two days of exams, Xia Yan walked out of the exam room and looked back at the exam center.

A sudden realization arose in my heart.

I know he was an ordinary, carefree young man at that time.

From this moment on, his seemingly ordinary high school career could never go back.

"Run slowly, the road ahead is difficult."

Outside the test center, a father who was picking up his son after the college entrance examination saw his son running excitedly towards the ramp outside the test center and shouted loudly.

Xia Yan felt sour.

If he had gained Yuan Qing's memory half a year earlier, maybe his father would have picked him up outside the test center right now. After all, the debt his father owed was just one or two months' income for him now.

Xia Yan took a long breath and walked home alone.

In the evening, Xia Yan received a call from his friend Song Lingjun.

"How did you go in the exam?" Song Lingjun asked awkwardly on the other end of the phone.

"It's not bad. If you perform normally, you will definitely get 400 points. What about you?" Xia Yan made a conservative estimate.

"Me? Well, I feel it's okay. It shouldn't fall below 700 points, but I can't say for sure. It mainly depends on Chinese and the preferences of the marking teacher." Song Lingjun paused after hearing this.

"Have you decided which school to go to?"

"Yes, Shanghai University."

"Momodu University?" Song Lingjun was stunned for a moment.

400 points to get into Shanghai University of Finance and Economics?

"Yeah." Xia Yan told him in general about his transaction with the special recruit py from Shanghai University.

"If you don't pass the exam, that's fine. If anyone wants to take me in, I'll go." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Modu University, Department of Literature, right?"

Song Lingjun held the phone and said softly.

"So, have you decided where you want to go next? Which book club do you want to join?"

"What about you?" Xia Yan asked.

"All the seven major publishing houses of the Dragon Kingdom have contacted me. My father has hired a team of lawyers for me to contact each other to negotiate terms. As long as I am willing to sign a five-year contract with them, I can join any of the seven major publishing houses. That is. In Hongfeng, he may have the status of a chicken head, but in the Seventh Publishing House, although he is not a phoenix tail, he is only a phoenix body level status." Song Lingyun looked at the moon outside the window and said with a smile.

"I don't want to sign a long-term contract, so the negotiations with several companies I have contacted have come to a standstill. It just doesn't matter." Xia Yan said with a smile.

The Seventh Publishing House is not stupid. The negotiation with Xia Yan has reached a stalemate. They just want to put pressure on Xia Yan and make him agree to let go.

But if Xia Yan really insists not to relent, then there is a high probability that he will relent in subsequent negotiations.

After all, Xia Yan is the first place in the selection of new gods, not a small role.

After hanging up the phone with Song Lingjun.

Xia Yan took the initiative to call Tang Yin.

At this time, Tang Yin had resigned from Red Maple Literature. Of course, after her resignation, four or five people from Red Maple Literature came to hope to continue cooperating with Xia Yan, but they were all declined.

"How about returning to the Magic City?"

After Tang Yin resigned, she naturally returned to her hometown in Shanghai.

Song Lingjun and Xia Yan just sent her away half a month ago.

"It's okay. I'm currently planning to set up an animation company in the Magic City area." Tang Yin said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"Animation company?" Xia Yan was stunned.

"Are you no longer a novel editor?"

"Of course, I feel that I will never meet novel writers as talented as you and Song Lingjun in my life. On the road to editing, I went to the limit of what I could reach. I went to the magic city and relied on Hongfeng Literature. It doesn’t make sense to be an editor of a small book publisher with that little experience.”

"So, I want to start a business." Tang Yin said.

"Well, opening an animation company should require quite a lot of capital, right?" Xia Yan asked curiously after hearing this.

"It's not bad. My father's Sugar Man Film Company also produces movies and creates animations. I know many talents in the industry. So I don't have to worry about finding talents. As for the company's start-up capital, my father thinks that I He only bought animation peripherals and wasted money, but he didn’t give it to me, so I sold the house that my mother left me before she died. Anyway, I had a few hundred million to start with, so I started from a small animation studio.”

"Oh, by the way, I recently got online with a company in the Dragon Kingdom game industry and are still negotiating. After my animation company quickly operates, I will help it produce supporting promotional animations for a game work that the company has not yet launched. project"

The conversation between Xia Yan and Tang Yin lasted for a long time.

Xia Yan finally hung up the phone and looked at the neon lights outside the window.

He made up his mind.

In two days, we will set off for the Magic City.

First, he was very confident that his college entrance examination scores could meet the minimum score requirements for special recruitment at Modu University.

Secondly, if he went to school in the Magic City area, then his first choice for a career in the novel industry would be Qingze and Liuli, the two Magic City Book Clubs.

Meng Lin, who had come to see him before, was just one of the novel writers' agents in Liuli Publishing House. There were many people like Meng Lin in Liuli Publishing House.

Meng Lin originally came to Nancheng to visit Xia Yan on behalf of herself and Liuli Publishing House, but her decision to refuse Xia Yan's request not to sign a long-term contract must have been her own judgment.

She didn't think it was worth it, so she didn't continue the conversation. Maybe she was just playing hard to get.

After all, since these large book clubs arranged for her, Meng Lin, to have contact with Xia Yan, other colleagues with the same position in the book club would not normally be allowed to have contact with Xia Yan, otherwise vicious competition would harm the interests of the book club.

Just like selling a house, it is definitely not easy for agent B to contact the clients of agent A privately, but it is different if the customer takes the initiative to contact agent B and wants her to follow up.

It doesn't matter what tricks Meng Lin and other people sent by the book club are doing there. They are not the only ones who can take the initiative to talk to Xia Yan. Xia Yan can also preemptively talk to other people.

After all, the proportion of novelists with long-term contract cooperation between book publishers is still relatively small, while the seven major book publishers have many short-term contract writers.

It makes no sense to accept all those people. Instead, Xia Yan simply refused because he only accepted short-term contracts.

Even if they just sign an ordinary contract with Xia Yan, there must be many agents willing to explore the potential of the New God to select the first novel author.

Xia Yan picked up a lot of business cards that he had received at the New God Ascension event.

Think for a moment

He took out his phone, pulled out a business card, entered a number, and clicked Apply to add Jiang Jing's Penguin account.

This guy said she was his fan, but Xia Yan didn't know the specific situation of the novel industry in Shanghai, so he looked for some useful information from this fan first.

Although he wanted to update 10,000, he only updated 8,000.

I will make up for the remaining 2,000.
