It's already mid-January.

This time is very delicate.

The selection time point for the Emperor Star Award is April every year.

Because many novels will be published in the winter of the previous year, in order to give these works a certain amount of time to ferment their plots and spread their popularity, the selection time will be moved to April of the following year.

Of course, novelists who are interested in this award will definitely choose to release their new books at the beginning of the year.

There is a big difference between the popularity of a work accumulated over a year of serialization or the popularity accumulated over several months of serialization. If you choose to publish a new book in autumn and winter, naturally, in the Emperor Star Award selection, it will be more popular than in the spring and summer of that year. The published book should be inferior.

From this point of view, Parasite, which was released in November last year, suffered greatly.

But that's the fact, it can't be changed.

Parasite. It happened to be that its popularity started to rise significantly in January. It went from hundreds of thousands of readers voting every week to 400,000 now in just one month.

As Xia Yan's novel agent, Baixuan was of course keenly aware of this.

Judging from the current popularity of Parasite Beast.

There is a high probability that Liuli Publishing House will submit it for the Emperor Star Award.

"Do you think it's qualified to be in the top twenty?" Bai Xuan looked at the evaluation of the parasitic beast by the novel critics on the show.

"It's a pity. If Parasite Beast could be serialized in "Liu Li", with its quality, it would definitely be more popular by now. Combined with the high evaluation of this work by novel readers, it is very promising even if it is ranked in the top ten. ”

But now, even though the popularity of Parasitic Beast is rising crazily, it is still not as good as those works in the three major journals.

After all, one journal sells millions of copies every week, and one journal can sell ten to twenty million copies.

The audience groups of periodicals are so different, so the popularity of novels will definitely be different.

But no matter what, she wanted to inform Xia Yan of the relevant information so that he could be mentally prepared.

Late January.

Song Lingjun came to Xia Tang Animation Company founded by Xia Yan and Tang Yin for the first time.

"You are too late to invest in the company. The company's name has already been determined to be Xia Tang Animation. Otherwise, it would be okay to call it "Xia Tang Song"." Xia Yan said jokingly, looking at Song Lingjun who looked like a curious baby in the company.

"I don't care about that." Song Lingjun's expression was as cold and calm as ever when he heard this.

"Okay, show me the animation script of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" that you and Tang Yin have been mentioning in my ears every day."

"Don't be impatient, I'm going to let you, the new shareholder of the company, and the company's employees meet first," Xia Yan said.

"No, you can just read the script first and then go meet." Song Lingjun's tone was a little urgent.

Seeing her expression, Xia Yan didn't say much, and took out the animation script and animation storyboard of Puella Magi Madoka Magica from the cabinet on his desk.

Because of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's huge commercial value, the script Xia Yan gave to the company's employees was only the plot of the first six episodes.

I was afraid that someone would talk too much and leak the animation settings. After all, it was Xia Yan's first time making animations, so he was careful and would take even small-probability incidents seriously.

As far as the animation reaches, the script for that episode will be given.

Song Lingjun sat on the chair and looked at the plot of Mo Yuan's script seriously.

When watching the first episode

She looked confused.

Isn’t this just a mediocre magical girl-themed animation?

There are hundreds of similar works in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

For this kind of work, Xia Yan needs to invest more than 10 million in production fees and spend more than 10 million to buy broadcasting slots?

Song Lingjun didn't say much, but continued to read.

Chapter two.

It is the daily life of the protagonist, his friends, and his seniors who have become magical girls.

Under the protection of my handsome senior sister, I gradually came into contact with some knowledge of the magical girl world, and my cute pet q-baby scenes also increased.

Um.

Song Lingjun still didn't see any particularly powerful advantages.

Of course, the plot is smooth and the characters are great.

But, it’s already the second episode. Why, the heroine Madoka hasn’t become a magical girl yet.

Is the rhythm of this plot a bit delayed?

But the script of the third episode.

The protagonist Madoka and her friends, protected by their senior sister, attack the witch in the knot.

However.

A plot that Song Lingjun never expected came out.

Senior sister actually

In such a joyful atmosphere, he was attacked by a witch and his head was bitten off, leaving only a headless body that fell in front of Madoka.

The tragic fate of magical girls was revealed in the third episode.

Song Lingjun's pupils had enlarged at this moment. She felt that this magical girl-themed animation did not seem to have the same style as the similar animations she had seen since she was a child.

As a professional novelist, she was like this. She was shocked when she saw the plot, and she felt depressed and uncomfortable in her heart. Not to mention the ordinary animation audience in Dragon Kingdom at that time?

Then in the fourth episode, Madoka’s friend made a wish so that the boy she liked could stand up again and became a magical girl.

As a novelist, Song Lingjun instinctively sensed something was wrong with this plot.

No matter how you look at those foreshadowings, you feel that the subsequent plot development will definitely not be as smooth as imagined.

Later, after reading the scripts of the fifth and sixth episodes of the animation, Song Lingjun dropped the script in his hand on the table.

"Is this the true existence of magical girls?"

Song Lingjun took a deep breath and looked at Xia Yan, her heart surging at the moment.

This is him.

He can also make such innovations with a simple magical girl theme that is common in the animation industry of Longguo.

This animation is too deceptive.

"What about the later plot?" Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan and asked.

"The early animation production does not need the later plot for the time being, so I didn't take it to the company. After all, it is more important to keep the plot confidential." Xia Yan smiled.

Song Lingjun's expression froze, but he still resisted the curiosity to explore the subsequent plot.

"No wonder you are so confident in this work. The animation production cost is only more than 10 million, but you have to spend more than 10 million to let it be broadcast on the four major TV stations." Song Lingjun said with a long breath.

"If I were you, I would be able to come up with this work, and I would definitely spare no effort to invest all resources in it."

Song Lingjun put down the script in his hand, his expression a little depressed.

"Why, are you still affected by the plot?" Xia Yan smiled.

"No. I'm just thinking. I'm growing up, and you're growing up too. Whenever I think I've grown up to the point where I have a chance to surpass you, you always take another big step and appear in front of me again." Song Lingjun looked at Xia Yan.

But as she spoke, she smiled.

"Perhaps, this is why I became friends with you."

"I never look behind me, I only look ahead, but no matter how I move forward, your figure is always in front of me. Even if I want to ignore you, I can't do it."

Xia Yan looked at the smile on her face, was stunned for a moment, and just smiled and didn't respond.

He didn't know how to talk about this topic.

Tell Song Lingjun that you should learn to give up, he has a world of cultural wealth, and no matter how hard you Song Lingjun try, it is unlikely to crush the works of so many creative geniuses in an entire parallel world?

Or tell her, come on, work hard and everything is possible? Make some poisonous chicken soup to brainwash her.

Xia Yan could only say nothing. Song Lingjun would not be defeated by others' blows, nor did she need others' comfort.

She was willing to continue to compete with herself, so she was a warrior.

If she gave up one day, it was because her smart brain finally recognized the facts through intuition or analysis.

Anyway, Xia Yan felt that she was worthy of respect.

It was late January.

The thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of Parasyte were serialized one after another.

Qin Lai's death was a foregone conclusion, and fans were wailing.

But the plot of Parasyte did not stop. The plot progressed to the part that Xia Yan personally liked the most in the whole work.

The plot about the pregnant female teacher Parasyte

These two chapters of the novel are just the foreshadowing of this chapter, but the number of fans and popularity of the work still increased significantly.

After the serialization of the fourteenth chapter, the number of votes was very close to the second-ranked work in the journal.

I was a little stuck tonight. I updated a lot yesterday, but today I am a little worse. The speed of typing is very slow. It's an old problem. Today is about five thousand words, one thousand words less than usual. I am very sleepy now, so I will go to bed first. If I am in a good state in the next few days, I will type more.
