If you don't understand, ask -
Lin Yuan immediately searched the Internet for information about supernovas.
After reading Lin Yuan, I realized that the so-called Supernova is a new novelist award held by Silver Blue Bookstore, one of the four major publishers in Qinzhou.
Held once a year.
This newcomer award only accepts submissions of novels on youth fantasy themes.
Because the target audience of this competition is strictly limited to those under 30 years old, any novel that does not target this group of readers will be rejected by the Silver Blue Library.
Young talents are the main force of entertainment consumption.
Youth fantasy novels are the most popular genre in Qinzhou!
In the minds of many young people who love novels, youth fantasy novels have a very high status!
What’s more…
Youth fantasy novels are very suitable for adaptation into animation and games, and their potential value is very high.
Therefore, in order to attract these young readers, many publishing companies actually hold similar newcomer awards.
Among them, the Supernova of the Silver Blue Library is one of the most influential newcomer awards in Qinzhou. As long as you enter the top five of the Supernova Award, you can get the opportunity to publish your novel and become a true novelist.
Of course.
This is not to say that Qinzhou only has novels with youth fantasy themes.
On Blue Star, where culture and art are extremely developed, there is a huge market space for each type of novel, but other types of novels naturally have other submission channels -
These works are completely different in nature from youth fantasy novels.
It’s just like art films and commercial films. Although everyone is a filmmaker, their circles don’t actually have much overlap.
This makes things simple.
Lin Yuan directly searched for the popular youth fantasy novels on the market.
He wanted to see what style was popular in Qinzhou now.
After all, even with the four words "youth fantasy", there are many types of novels that can be included under it.
As a result, he found that—
Qinzhou's youth fantasy novels are mostly about adventures in other worlds.
The protagonists of these novels are often ordinary students who travel to another world and gain a golden finger at the beginning.
Then the story tells about how the protagonists rely on the golden fingers to fight monsters while getting to know all kinds of girls, and constantly conquering these girls, and finally defeating the devil and building a large harem.
There are also stories that focus on the passionate level.
There are also some that do not travel through time to another world. They set the story directly in the city and arrange for the protagonist to have super powers. Anyway, the sense of déjà vu is quite strong.
How to describe it
It is a bit like the online literature model in the previous life, and also like the light novels that were popular in Japan in the previous life.
The combination of the two is the general appearance of Qinzhou's popular youth fantasy novels.
Lin Yuan also did some deliberate searching to see what sports and competitive themes there were in youth fantasy novels.
As a result, he was shocked to find that there were very few such topics!
Occasionally there are a few books that focus on sports and competition, but the results are also mediocre.
Competitive youth fantasy novels are almost a completely blank field!
At this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly understood why the system gave him a copy of "Prince of Tennis".
This is to fill the subject matter gap in the market by ourselves.
For Qinzhou's novel market, the subject matter chosen by "The Prince of Tennis" can be said to be novel, but novelty also means that the creative direction chosen by this novel is very unpopular.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt a little worried.
Although it is true that "The Prince of Tennis" can be considered a youth fantasy novel, can such an unpopular subject matter really allow one to accomplish the task of gaining a literary reputation of over 10,000
…
No one knows what the future of "The Prince of Tennis" will be, Lin Yuan can only wait silently for the registration channel for supernovas to open.
End of the month.
He came to the company again.
As soon as he entered the composition department on the tenth floor, his colleagues congratulated him on the success of "Big Fish". It was obvious that everyone had heard the song.
Wu Yong even gave a thumbs up:
"I said before that a stereotypical impression song like Big Fish would probably not be popular, but I didn't expect you to turn around and slap me in the face."
"I don't."
Lin Yuan denied it immediately.
Wu Yong stood there and pondered for a long time before he understood Lin Yuan's train of thought. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment: "I'm not talking about the slap in the face..."
Don't worry about this.
Wu Yong sat down next to Lin Yuan and said with a look of regret, "In fact, 'Big Fish' was released in the wrong month. Otherwise, with the quality of this song, it would definitely have been able to rise higher."
Lin Yuan was stunned: "Born in the wrong month?"
Wu Yong was also stunned: "You don't know, do you?"
Lin Yuan’s reaction explained everything. This kid really didn’t know.
Wu Yong could only explain to him: "Don't we in Qinzhou update the new song chart every month? So most singers who have ideas for the new song chart will release songs on the first day of the month. If they are on this chart, they will get more public attention."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He knew that singers would choose to release their songs on day one, but he never delved into the reason.
So it was for the charts
Wu Yong sighed, "Originally, 'Big Fish' had a chance to be on the new song charts. Although it was released in the middle of December, the song's quality is too good—"
Lin Yuan asked: "But what?"
The popularity of the song is related to his reputation, so he is very concerned about this.
"but!"
Wu Yong spread his hands and said, "'Big Fish' was released in December by mistake. December is hell! In this month every year, there will be several singers who will make a final sprint for their year-end results, so the competition for the new song charts is very fierce. In addition, your song was not officially released until the middle of the month, so there was too little time to make it to the top, so now it is only ranked 13th."
Lin Yuan thought: "Where is the new song list?"
Wu Yong smiled bitterly: "You are really a complete newbie. Let me teach you. Search Qinzhou Music now. These are all official charts. There is no trick. The first chart is the new song chart. The previous new star chart can also be found here."
"good."
Lin Yuan did as he was told and successfully entered the official website of Qinzhou Music, where he found his song at the thirteenth place.
"Yeah."
Wu Yong said: "The top ten on the list are either new songs by first-tier singers, or songs by top singers."
"Let me hear it."
Out of curiosity, Lin Yuan listened to the top few songs and after listening, he made a summary in his mind.
To be fair.
The quality of the top three songs is already comparable to that of "Big Fish". The Qinzhou music scene is indeed full of strong talents. In addition, the composers of these songs are all ace-level, and the singers are also top singers in the industry. Their high rankings are well deserved.
but…
The songs after the third place are not as good in quality as "Big Fish" which is ranked 13th.
"Do you understand?"
Wu Yong said: "Based on the quality of 'Big Fish', it's still very likely to make it into the top ten, if not the top three. It's just that there were too many ruthless people in December, and you happened to release the song in the middle of the month, so you couldn't make it."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Wu Yong smiled and said, "But you don't have to be too upset. Big Fish is a custom-made song, so it must be based on the release date of Qi Zhou's movie. In addition, the ranking of a song is not only determined by the quality of the song itself, but also by the fame of the composer and the singer. Your fame is not as good as those ace composers, and Jiang Kui is also a newcomer, so it is understandable that you failed to make the top ten. Unless the quality of your song can cover up these shortcomings, do you think those ace composers like to cooperate with first-line singers? This is called a strong alliance. Tools are cheap, but they are not popular!"
Lin Yuan said: "Yes."
But I still choose to be a tool.
Wu Yong continued to chatter: "So November every year is the newcomer season. The newcomer season is a kind of protection for newcomers. Without the protection of the newcomer season, newcomers will be at a disadvantage when competing with a group of famous veterans in the circle, unless the quality of the songs can cover up these defects, but this is still quite difficult."
Just at this moment.
A colleague outside the door called out, "Xianyu, come here, Sister Zhao is looking for you."
