Chapter 43: Gifts, and Results
Teenagers and girls, at this moment, in their hearts, all thought of similar content.
The atmosphere has become a little delicate.
Xia Yan and Song Lingyun, the two of them met at Tang Yin's house twice a week during this time, and then each time after solving the problem of the novel manuscript, they played PK together until it was dark.
This.... Can they be considered friends? Or is it just a purely competitive relationship between novelists, or is it ..... There is no such thing as a relationship, the essence is just a stranger who has met a few times!
"Okay, why are you two so depressed all of a sudden, and I'm embarrassed. If you don't sign this long contract, you won't sign it, and now I'm going to talk about the second thing. Tang Yin hurriedly stirred up the atmosphere.
It's been almost two years since she graduated from college, and Tang Yin has forgotten her happy times on campus many times because of her work.
But the cooperation with Xia Yan and Song Lingyun in the past two months has made her recall the days of her previous student days many times, although they didn't get along for a long time, but this is also the reason why her favorability towards Xia Yan and Song Lingyun has risen so quickly, after all, it is like her younger brother and sister....
"The second thing tonight is... Let's celebrate the end of the two novels of Journey of Youth and Starlight Yesterday. ”
As Tang Yin spoke, she took out a large poster from her bag, spread it out, and temporarily pasted it on the wall.....
Xia Yan and Song Lingyun looked at each other with strange expressions.
This is probably something that Tang Yin made with a crappy retouching technique, and then found a print shop to print it, and put the serial results of the youth journey and yesterday's starlight, poster pictures, and some words of blessing on it.
To be honest, Xia Yan and Song Lingyun felt a little strange and embarrassed about this form of celebration, and they were quite happy in their hearts.
"What? Out of sorts? Tang Yin glanced at the two of them.
"That, haha... I'm very happy. ”
"I... Me too...."
Xia Yan and Song Lingyun both had smiles on their faces.
"So reluctantly?" Tang Yin sneered on his face.
But she doesn't sell it anymore.
got up, ran to his room, and half a minute later, he took out two beautifully decorated gift boxes from the room and gave one to Xia Yan and Song Lingyun.
"What's that?" Seeing this, Song Lingyun's expression was a little dazed.
"A gift. As the contracted editor of the two of you, I've been busy with you all this time, and now the novel is over, plus I get along with you very well, hum.... Let's take it apart and take a look. Tang Yin smiled proudly.
When Song Lingyun heard this, he hesitated for a while, but he still couldn't resist his curiosity and opened the gift box.
Eye-catching.... is a brand new console and a game cartridge.
"You come to me, the game console you play every day is a limited collector's edition, and I am reluctant to give it away. So bought a regular version of the console and "really. The game cartridge of "Iron Soul" is given to you, this old antique is now in production, which can only show that there are more and more nostalgic players... Anyway, take this thing back, exercise more in the game, and then.... I hope to see you beat Xia Yan on this game next time. Tang Yin said.
Xia Yan also immediately opened the gift box she gave her, but found that it was ..... inside It is an anime figure.
Seventeen years ago, the figure of the protagonist Lauro in a popular anime.
"I've heard you say that your favorite childhood anime character is him, and I happened to know a friend who had this thing in his collection, and he cheekily asked her to mail it over." Tang Yin looked at the two of them, and then smiled.
"Congratulations on the journey of youth and the successful conclusion of yesterday's starlight. I also hope that the career life path of light novel writers of the two of you will be smooth sailing. ”
Whether it's Xia Yan or Song Lingyun, there is really indescribable joy in his heart at this moment.
But on his expression, he couldn't laugh, and he looked at the gift given by Tang Yin, and was silent for a long time.
After all, for both of them, it was the first time in their lives that a friend gave them a gift.
....
Time passes....
The two novels of Youth Journey and Starlight Yesterday are in the late stage, and the book club has also greeted fans in the journal in advance.
Yesterday's Starlight will be published next Wednesday, and the journey of youth ..... It will be published next Sunday.
Originally, every Friday was the date when Xia Yan and Song Lingyun went to Tang Yin's house to deliver the manuscript, which has been the case since the beginning of the school year.
But now ....
For the first time since school started, both of them had nothing to do at home on Friday night.
Don't write novels, don't have to submit manuscripts to discuss the plot with Tang Yin, and don't have to be at Tang Yin's house to compete with each other on the game console.
The light novel serialization career in the past two months is suddenly like a dream.
There was no feeling of relief, but both of them felt that something was missing.....
I always feel that life is missing some fun.
But both of them have a definite time timer in their hearts, constantly putting pressure on them....
Tang Yin had already told the two of them that in mid-to-late May, there would be two vacancies in the journal "Red Maple"!
If you have an idea about this serialization spot.
At that time, there was only a little more than a month left for the two to create a new work.
...
"Xiaoyun, isn't tonight like Friday, going to learn piano?"
After Song Lingyun's mother knocked on the door, she brought in boiled rice balls.
"No, I've been obsessed with studying lately." Song Lingyun said softly.
"My daughter is amazing.... It's really different from those of the same age who like to read novels, anime, and play games. But although the study is good, it is also necessary to combine work and rest, if you like it, I will enroll you in an equestrian class.... Recently, many of my friends have posted excellent photos of their daughters galloping on horses in the circle of friends.... I have a feeling that you must be better than those people. When Song Lingyun's mother heard this, a proud smile appeared on her face.
"For the time being... No need. Song Lingyun responded when he heard this.
After a few words of greeting, Song Lingyun's mother left the room in frustration.
After her mother left, Song Lingyun immediately took out other books from the desk box and began to indulge in learning.
The Road to Writing....
Three-act storytelling techniques....
Light Novel Writing Guide....
The life of a writer ....
It is full of some well-known novels at home and abroad.
Her previous light novel writing was all written by talent, and she didn't learn these systematically, but now....
She knows very well that the efficiency of working behind closed doors is too low, and learning from the excellent creative experience of her predecessors is the fastest way to grow.
For the next month or so..... She had to devote herself to the study of fiction! A real immersion in learning.
Only in this way can ... Beyond Xia Yan!
...
Xia Yan was packing some personal belongings at home.
After all.... In a little more than a week, he will be moving.
The home where he has lived for ten years is about to be seized and auctioned.
He was a little melancholy.
But it can't be helped, he's a law-abiding high school student.
I'll have to find a way to find a new place to live....
...
On Monday, the day of the Youth Journey and yesterday's Starlight Single Book was released for a week.
Because I didn't go to work on the weekend, the data that should have been counted on Saturday was only started by the book club on Monday.
Tang Yin came to the book club early in the morning, waiting for the first week data of the single book of the two novels to be released.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the staff in the book club was still docking data with the seller.
By about ten o'clock... The statistics are out.
This data is the internal computer network of the book club, and any editor can check it in the internal system.
In addition to Tang Yin, many editors of Red Maple Literature are interested in the data of the single books of the two novels.
After all, the two novels were serialized on "Instant Fanghua", and the popularity and number of fans cannot be accurately reflected at all.
Instant Fanghua is a serialized light novel in this periodical, more than a dozen.
It is really difficult to judge how many of the 300,000 sales of the journal were contributed by fans of the two books.
But the sales volume of a single book is different, it is very straightforward and clear.
Therefore, in the light novel industry of Long Guo, it is basically to equate the sales of a single book of the novel with the industry achievements and status of the novel.
Tang Yin was a little apprehensive, although she knew that the score statistics had been released, she still hesitated for a minute and didn't open the data statistics table.
But the other editors in the public office area have already started to make noise.
"Really? So high? ”
"I knew it. The single book of the youth journey, only Tuesday the book club notified the printing house to print, it must have exceeded expectations, but I really didn't expect it..... It will be so much higher than expected. ”
"And yesterday's starlight.... Although the sales of the single book are not as good as the youth journey, the quality of its later plot has also been exaggerated, the score has risen to 8.9, the second in the journal order, and the number of votes has also come to the third place.... Sure enough, the sales volume of the single book says it all.... These two people are really more exaggerated than the other. ”
....
The editors in the public office area began to stir.
Tang Yin no longer hesitated, and clicked on the data table.
Two rows of data in the eye.....
The first volume of the journey of youth, the total sales in the first week: 180186 volumes.
Yesterday's Starlight Volume 1, total sales in the first week: 65,982 copies.
....
