Chapter 318 Influence and Publicity

It was expected by many people in the industry that Sword Art Online could reach the top spot in terms of sales volume in history.

Although it is due to the fact that one less single volume was released last month and there is no new single volume of the novel that is holding back, it is not a big problem. Even if we don't do this, with the current popularity of Sword Art Online, reaching the top will only be delayed by a month. .

Here at Liuli Bookstore

I had been prepared for this day for a long time, and spent tens of millions of publicity funds in advance to promote it in the Dragon Kingdom.

[Dragon Kingdom’s first light novel journal "Liu Li"]

[The first light novel in the history of the Dragon Kingdom "Sword Art Online"]

["Xia Yan", the first light novel author in the history of Dragon Kingdom! 】

These hot search slogans directly topped the list on major search websites that day.

Two-dimensional commercial streets, bookstores, peripheral points, streets, subways, buses, and airports in major cities in the Dragon Kingdom.

Xia Yan was immediately swept away by the poster of the Sword Art Online light novel in his hand.

Under the arrangement of Liuli Publishing House, hundreds of well-known seniors and active novelists in the Dragon Kingdom sent unified and neat messages under their own creator accounts to congratulate Xia Yan for becoming the number one in the novel world.

It can only be said that in this era when the number of teenagers is decreasing, the average sales volume of top light novels can reach 22 million levels, which is already the ceiling of the industry.

26 million?

Moreover, the plot of Sword Art Online has only progressed to the late stage of the GGO chapter. Later, I heard from Xia Yan in an interview that there will be a new novel chapter.

It is conceivable that Sword Art Online will not only become the first volume-selling novel in the history of Ryukoku light novels, but will also push this record to a very outrageous height.

Xia Yan is indeed very young, but at the moment when the sales volume of Sword Art Online novels truly reaches its peak, the uncrowned king Xia Yan, with the blessing of real achievements, is tantamount to truly wearing the crown.

The sales, popularity and ratings of the works are undisputed number one in the Dragon Kingdom.

"I'm so excited! After waiting for the old thief for five years, I finally see him reach this height.

"So the old thief has been in the novel industry for five years? Time flies so fast!"

"The most awesome in history!"

"Today's discussion of Lelouch and Hunter has been completely suppressed, haha."

"Sword Art Online has not been as hotly discussed as Lelouch and Hunter recently. It's just because the old villain hasn't let Asuna appear for a long time. If Asuna had more roles, do you think these two works would be more impressive?"

"But in the Dragon Kingdom's competition for the most popular female characters in the second dimension in the first half of this year, Asuna lost to Lelouch Ri's cc."

"That was just an accident. If you look at the rankings in the second half of this year, Asuna's party will come back."

"Forget it, don't start a fight. Anyway, I've reached the top of Sword Art Online. If you leave a message on my post, I'll get ten yuan for the first floor and two thousand for the top floor. First come, first served, haha."

"The old thief Jackie Chan is the best-performing light novel writer in the history of the country. The timing is just right, in the last month of the year, and there is no sloppiness at all."

"After all, the sales volume of Hunter comics must reach the top next year. Look at Hunter, the average comic volume sales volume is 23.8 million copies. Judging from the popularity of this comic that is still soaring, it is estimated that Hunter will also reach the top next year. ”

"The old thief is real, he's so fierce!"

"You can't really be fooled by him, can you? I haven't graduated from college, and I feel like no one will be able to break this record in the history of the three major fields of the two-dimensional industry!"

"No, brothers, I have been a die-hard fan of Sword Art Online for almost two and a half years. I burst into tears when I saw the news today. Sword Art Online has reached the top in history. I am so excited."

"Run it for me. Now I'm going to buy a set of Sword Art Online single volumes for my girlfriend to increase my sales contribution."

On this day, the two-dimensional world, especially the novel group, was much more active than usual.

Liuli Book Club specially held a celebration banquet the next night, which was broadcast live, and Xia Yan was invited to the banquet.

The chairman of Liuli Publishing House, the backbone of the board of directors, and all senior executives appeared together and had a cordial conversation with Xia Yan at the celebration.

The success of Sword Art Online in the Dragon Kingdom is not only Xia Yan's huge profit, Liuli Publishing House has also risen from the industry rankings in less than four years on the back of Xia Yan's two works: Parasite Beast and Sword Art Online. The three-year-old novel book club has grown to be ranked number one now.

The weekly sales volume of "Liu Li" has also reached a terrifying 18 million copies. You know, when Xia Yan first came to Liuli Bookstore, the sales volume of this journal was still around 12 million.

It can be said that when these senior officials of Liuli Book Club saw Xia Yan, their enthusiasm was second only to their father.

The four-hour live broadcast was watched by more than 10 million people online.

Of course, capitalists do these things for other purposes besides spreading the influence of Sword Art Online’s summit.

For example, the chairman of Liuli Book Club and Xia Yan communicated in advance.

At the live broadcast party of the celebration banquet, he pretended to accidentally reveal the news of the new chapter of Sword Art Online through his speech.

In fact, he didn't reveal much, but what Xia Yan said, which is a grand idea that surpasses all previous chapters, is most likely the UW chapter of the final chapter of Sword Art Online.

Still on the second day, the popularity once again overwhelmed all works in the two-dimensional field and topped the hot search lists of major websites.

After all, it is a popular masterpiece Sword Art Online that was born in the Dragon Kingdom novel industry almost two and a half years ago. Because the serialization time is too long, the fans are not very active, and everyone just reads the book silently.

But that doesn't mean they are dead.

Is there a new chapter after the ggo chapter?

Although there is only a name popping up, what is it called uw chapter, but it is enough.

As for what Xia Yan said about the UW chapter being most likely the final chapter of Sword Art Online, they were collectively ignored by everyone.

A novelist’s most likely? That is impossible.

Besides, no one in the industry believes what Xia Yan said anymore.

Not to mention anything else, Sword Art Online now directly brings 500-600 million yuan in revenue to Xia Yan a year. The entire work has an industry chain of several billions from upstream to downstream. If Xia Yan is willing to give it up, will your partners be willing to give it up?

Peripheral manufacturers, printing plants, overseas copyright licensors, and Liuli Publishing House, most of the light novel readers buy periodicals for this novel. How is it possible for you to finish this novel easily like this?

This work is related to the income of thousands of practitioners up and down the industry chain.

It’s no longer just the creator’s business.

Everyone ridiculed Xia Yan on the Internet, and they should honestly think more about the plot of the new chapter and stop saying these alarmist words to scare fans.

Of course, Xia Yan said this just to test the industry's reaction.

In the parallel world, Kawahara expressed his desire to complete Sword Art Online more than once, but this work

It was so profitable that Dengeki Bunko refused to let him finish it. He had no choice but to add a few more chapters after the UW chapter. The later plots were already flooded, but a large number of people were still following them, giving him the power to continue serializing this series. The value of the work, and in the end, Sword Art Online is still being serialized twenty years after its birth.

It can be called the Pirate King of the novel world.

Xia Yan also has the idea of ​​finishing Sword Art Online and starting a new novel, but the length of the UW chapter is not much different from all the previous chapters combined. If he really wants to implement the completion plan, Xia Yan will have to write it quickly and it will take more than a year. Time will do.

But look at the current reaction in the industry

Xia Yan could only smile bitterly.

Take it one step at a time.

Sword Art Online's performance reached the top, and the preview of a new chapter gradually subsided after Dragon Kingdom had been hot for more than a week.

And at this time.

It's already mid-December.

The rebellious Lelouch has now been serialized into the twelve episodes of the second season.

After the thirteenth episode is broadcast next Sunday, it will be suspended for another two weeks, and the remaining plot of the second season will be resumed in January next year.

The operation is exactly the same as in the first season.

Fans are mentally prepared.

Everyone knows that Xia Yan has great experience in designing animation plots.

In the thirteenth and last episode of the first season, the plot left fans obsessed with the plot being played out of chapters.

In the second season of the animation, it is this point again, and Lelouch fans understand it.

Although I don't know if Xia Yan will really continue to mess with the plot, but I must be mentally prepared.

So this week, in major forums in the 2D industry, after the popularity of Sword Art Online faded away, Lelouch fans became active and rushed to promote it.

Although no one thinks that Lelouch's thirteenth episode will have any explosive plot points, everyone seems to believe that Xia Yan will definitely do this.

In this regard

Xia Tang Animation Company, Xia Yan, and the internal employees of Modou TV1 all admired in their hearts.

This year’s animation fans are so smart.

pity

It's useless, after all, the psychological defense line established casually is too weak.

After the thirteenth episode aired, I should have been overwhelmed instantly.

Xia Yan was also in a happy mood this week.

Lelouch's work, whether it is the first season or the second season, has a common feature.

That is, in the first half of the seasonal animation plot, you can treat it as the protagonist of the Long Aotian animation pretending to fly by himself.

But once you pass the quarter chapter, the middle part of the plot.

The rebellious Lelouch will make the plot take a turn for the worse and become a "depressing" masterpiece!
