Chapter 114: Conversation

In fact, it has been almost a month since I got Jiang Jing's contact card, but Xia Yan has not contacted her.

The reason is very simple, no matter what she says, she admires Xia Yan and admires him, but there is no doubt that the two are competitors.

A new god ascends to the first rank, and a new god ascends to the second rank.

Of course, Xia Yan believes that there are opponents in this world who appreciate each other, such as Song Lingyun to him.

But Xia Yan didn't know Jiang Jing, so he didn't have a deep connection with her.

But now it's necessary.

Xia Yan typed her penguin number into her phone.

The other side didn't agree immediately, maybe something was wrong.

Xia Yan didn't care, but sat on his desk, thinking about the two works of the parasitic beast and the magical girl Madoka, repeatedly observing in his mind, checking the information about the two works in Yuan Qing's memory

Parasitic beast,The original is a comic work.,The comics are divided into ten volumes.,The total sales of a single book are as high as more than 1,000 copies.,It's a comic that sells millions of copies in the parallel world island country.。

In the Japanese island manga industry in the parallel world, basically a manga work is judged by whether it is a popular work, and it is generally based on how well its manga volume is sold.

Basically, more than one million volumes are sold in a popular boutique comic.,Volumes sold more than two million times.,It's a hunter.,Kenshin.,Steel and other level works.

But further up, more than three million volumes, that is, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Pirates and the like have this kind of popularity to reach this kind of sales.

Basically, these comics,The average volume sales can reach more than one million,This work must be a high-quality product,Yes,But its popularity,Influence、Status,It can't be measured simply by the average volume sales。

For example, Slam Dunk, who sells an average of five million comic books, is definitely more classic than Demon Slayer, which has an average volume of six million. The manga work Devilman, which has an average volume sales of 10 million, is definitely far inferior to Dragon Ball, which has an average volume sales of 7 million.

However, the different times and the different efforts of capital operation will lead to these sales gaps and the quality of works may not be completely consistent.

But in any case, judging from the sales of the work and the audience's evaluation of the parasitic beast in the parallel world.

Even if the work of Parasitic Beast can't make everyone recognize that it is a masterpiece, it is not a big problem to call it a half-step masterpiece.

As for the magical girl Madoka

One word.

In the history of the animation industry of the island nation in the parallel world, the most awarded TV animation!

That sums up its status enough.

It's basically a recognized masterpiece animation.,It's not like to say that it's an unrivaled work in the island animation industry.,But it's really well combined in terms of commerciality and the fun of the work.。

It's a popular and popular work.,It's not at the same level as those empty and popular but low-rated toilet paper animations in another world.。

After a long time, Xia Yan sighed.

Fortunately, even if it is presented in form, it can show the appeal of the original plot very well.

But the magical girl Madoka.

What do you say?

It's not that it can't be adapted to be light, but if it is adapted to light, the appeal of the original work may drop a little.

Like the unheard flower name, it's clear that it's best presented in animated form, with the plot and ending song "All you gave me!" "One blessing will produce the effect that one plus one is greater than two.

But the reason why Xia Yan made it light before was mainly because he had no capital and no fame.

Now, if Xia Yan wants to present the magical girl Madoka in this world, he must think about making it in the form of animation.

Not to mention anything else, the two youth journeys written by Xia Yan in the past year and the various incomes from unheard of flower names add up, which also makes Xia Yan's total net worth now reach 13 million.

After all, I haven't heard of the name of the flower during this time, because of the fermentation of animation, with the support of animation fans, the average volume sales of this work have exceeded four million copies, and in another month or two, it is likely to break through the five million mark, and this work has brought huge benefits to Xia Yan.

Plus the soon-to-be-released single book to the moon.

Xia Yan actually saves a little money, this money is enough for him to invest in an animation work.

After all, the magical girl Madoka has such a great commercial value, Xia Yan would rather keep it in her hands than submit it to other animation production companies to help others make money.

But here's the thing

Xia Yan doesn't know anything in the animation industry, he has no connections, it doesn't matter, he doesn't understand the production process of the work, and he rashly takes the money to go in, and there is a high probability that he will be caught.

Of course, Xia Yan also immediately thought of Tang Yin, she said that she is now setting up an animation production company, but Tang Yin has now taken over an animation project, even if Xia Yan goes to Tang Yin to talk about cooperation now, there is a high probability that she will not have the energy to be responsible for two projects at the same time.

Thinking about it, Xia Yan didn't have any good ideas for the time being.

The time to think passed in a flash, and soon, a tick sounded on Xia Yan's mobile phone.

Jiang Jing passed his friend application.

[What's the matter, Teacher Xia Yan? Finally remembered me today? You even added me as a friend. 】

Xia Yan chatted with Jiang Jing for a while at first, talking about him left and right, and waited until Jiang Jing finally couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to ask Xia Yan if she had something to find her.

[Well, I'm sorry, because I have something to ask you. 】

Seeing this, Xia Yan also went down the topic.

Although this is a bit realistic, Xia Yan can only see the opportunity in the future and try his best to repay this favor.

In the Modu area, Jiang Jing, who had just finished participating in a fan meeting to rest in the lounge, gradually showed a smile on the corner of her mouth in the process of chatting with Xia Yan, and ten minutes later, she understood what Xia Yan meant.

Xia Yan is really interested in joining the three major libraries of Liuli, Starry Sky and Qingze.

But he put it bluntly, he is more confident in his future potential, and thinks that no matter which of the three major book clubs gives him a long-term contract, it will be a loss for him, so he simply just wants to be a free man, and it is okay to cooperate, but not to cooperate according to time, but to create a work, and cooperate once.

The three major book societies have been crisscrossing the Dragon Kingdom for so many years, and there must be a variety of ways to cultivate talents.

To be honest, many of the top light writers in the Dragon Kingdom and these large book clubs cooperate in this way.

[It's not impossible to do this, but if you do this, even if your work shows a hundred points of potential, it is very likely to lose to those who only have 80 points, but the owner of the work is the director of the book and the writer. 】

In the parallel world of the Internet, writers are vying for a recommendation spot on the website, and in this world

What light writers are competing for is the publicity of the work after the serialization, as well as the journal level of the serialization of the work.

Like several book societies in Southern Province, the Seven Book Societies each have their own periodical works with the signature of the Book Society.

For example, "Qingze" of Qingze Library, "Starry Sky" of Starry Sky, and "Liuli" of Liuli Books. Three journals.

Each book has a total circulation of more than 10 million copies in each issue in the seventeen provinces of the Dragon Kingdom.

Specifically, today, the highest sales of periodicals are the periodical "Starry Night" in the imperial capital area, which hovers between 18 million and 21 million copies per issue.

The second best-selling periodical work is Kiyosawa Books' Kiyosawa Library, which sells about 14 million copies per issue.

The third highest-selling journal is "Liuli". Each issue sells around 12 million copies.

It can be said that the sales volume of 780,000 copies per issue of Red Maple Literature is a gap between the level of dimensionality reduction.

These three periodicals are serialized in weekly magazines, and there are only ten serialized seats in each journal.

Xia Yan's words have the title of the first person in the selection of the new gods, and if he is willing to sign a long-term contract with the three major libraries, then his new work is eligible to be submitted to the serialization conference in the selection of the serialization vacant seats in these three periodicals.

Of course, it's just that he is qualified to be submitted to the serialization conference, and at the serialization conference, the authors of the works that compete with him are all giants in the dragon kingdom light world. In the history of everyone's writing, everyone has created at least one work with a single book sales volume of more than 5 million, or even 10 million, Xia Yan's new work, in the eyes of others, the chance of being selected is also very low.

Three periodicals, same period, thirty serial seats

This is the supreme goal of all writers in the Dragon Kingdom Light Realm.

As long as one of the serialization seats can be obtained, and the popularity of the work in the serialized journal is stable, until the end of the serialization, the work will not be transferred to the secondary journal of the book club due to lack of popularity

Basically, this writer is qualified to be called a well-known writer in the light world of the Dragon Kingdom.

It can be described as a heaven-climbing.

But Xia Yan chose not to sign a long-term contract for the competition for these thirty serial seats, and the probability that Xia Yan wanted to directly participate in the competition was too low.

Jiang Jing typed and communicated with Xia Yan, and Xia Yan's response was.

[Oh, I see, so if I don't choose to sign a long-term contract with the three major book companies, but a short-term contract, then my work will be serialized. What will probably happen? 】

Jiang Jing had a good sense of Xia Yan, and first said what she knew. Seeing that Xia Yan was still firm in his beliefs, he didn't persuade much.

[If the quality is sufficient, it will be serialized in the secondary journals of the three major book companies.] For example, "Under the Starry Sky", "Qingze Rain" and "Glass Color" were serialized in three current periodicals. 】

Xia Yan looked at the content displayed on his phone

[Why do you feel that the name of the journal is so similar?] Xia Yan typed and asked.

[Of course, "Under the Stars" is a work that was republished due to the lack of popularity in the "Starry Sky" periodical. "Qingze" and "Qingze Rain". "Glass" has a similar relationship with "Glass". Jiang Jing replied.

One, serialized in a top journal like "Starry Sky", once the results are not satisfactory, the book society immediately removes it.

After all, there are only ten serialization seats in the three major journals such as "Starry Sky", and there are not so many opportunities to waste on the lack of potential.

But no matter what, what can be serialized on "Starry Sky", even if the results are not ideal, it is only for other top journals in the same periodical, and it is still a top boutique in the entire Dragon Kingdom, and it is impossible to cut it in half so wastefully.

That's why there are sub-journals corresponding to the top three journals.

The sales volume of these secondary journals is only about 40% of that of the corresponding top journals.

But each issue sells five or six million copies, or even seven or eight million copies. It's still scary.

[The reason why I am called the best newcomer in the past two years in the light world of the magic capital is because my last work was serialized on "Glass Color", and among the twenty works, I got the third place. Jiang Jing replied.

[Therefore, my next new work is eligible to be submitted to participate in the competition at the serialization meeting of "Liuli", but there is a high probability that it will not be able to compete. 】

[In other words, if my next work wants to be serialized in the three major periodicals of "Starry Sky", "Liuli" and "Qingze", it is basically impossible not to sign a long-term contract with the book club. If you sign a long-term contract, you may be weak, and you will be directly killed by the works of many veteran writers at the serial meeting? Xia Yan replied.

At the same time, I am also surprised by the competitiveness of the Demon Capital Imperial Capital industry This level of competition, those top writers at the provincial and regional level came here, it is not enough to see, it is likely to be cannon fodder.

Of course, in other words, it is because of the potential writers at the regional level, such as Xia Yan and Song Lingyun, who have all run away from the imperial capital of the demon capital, so the level of writers left in those provinces will not be too high. The level of the Demon Capital and the Imperial Capital is two worlds.

[Almost, but not absolutely.] For example, since the two journals "Liuli" and "Liuli" have a mechanism for downgrading, they naturally have a mechanism for upgrading. The latter though. The conditions are too harsh, anyway, if your work obviously shows great potential and the serialization results on "Glass Color" are not ordinarily good, then there is a chance to serialize directly from the secondary journal to the corresponding top journal to achieve upgrade. 】

Conversion and upgrading of serialized journals..

Xia Yanyan's eyes froze when he heard this.

And this kind of operation?

As long as the grades are good enough, then anything is possible.

Jiang Jing and Xia Yan talked a lot

In the end, she said something that made Xia Yan feel very dry.

[So. As long as you can accept that the book club does not pay so much attention to your resource tilt, there are agents within the book club who are willing to sign you. Like what. My agent "Bai Xuan". 】

Jiang Jing typed and said.

She is relatively broad-minded, and she really likes Xia Yan's works, so she is not afraid of wasting time and saying these things to Xia Yan.

[My connections are limited to the Liuli Book Club.] I can't help the starry sky and the Kiyosawa library. But I advise you, if you really want to join these three major book clubs, it is better to choose Liuli, although the other two are actually the strongest two of the three book clubs, but they are also the two with the most nepotism. 】

There's another chapter later, but it's a little later. Because it's been a busy few days, I've had a cold again.

Really people are unlucky, everything is coming. Alas. Needless to say, I went to stay up late to code words, and I was embarrassed to ask for leave again. I took a day off before, and I still owe more than 2,000 words. It can't go on like this.
