I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 238

Kagurazaka Iris smiled, and then took out the qualification information and plan of the other company to show to Li Yan, and said: "So, Mr. Uesugi, you are really lucky, and you can get the copyright fee... No, You can't call it luck. In fact, the director who chose the script was very discerning. Although your work is two-dimensional, the emotions and situations described are quite consistent with social reality. There is nothing cute in it. Let’s be honest about the plot, and the popularity is quite good, this is the key to being chosen for live-action.”

"I see, it makes sense to say that. After all, after removing the cute elements, the difficulty of shooting has been slightly reduced and it is easier to restore. The popularity of my novel is quite satisfactory, so it was selected..."

Li Yan understood and nodded in agreement.

"That's it. This time, it is quite easy to adapt Teacher Kasumi Shiko's new book "The Poetry of Law" to other works. However, the market expectation for the adaptation of your work should be the highest. Therefore, the main purpose of calling you here this time is It’s not to urge the manuscript, but to urge the progress. Although the form is the same, the essence has changed a bit. I plan to promote the shooting of the live-action movie after you release the seventh volume.”

Kagurazaka Iris explained his idea to Li Yan and said: "After the new volume enters the reader's field of vision, launch a live-action movie, so that the novel and the movie can promote each other's sales, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? It should be said, Even if the live-action movie fails, it won't affect your popularity in animation and other aspects too much. After all, readers are probably mentally prepared...ahem..."

She immediately coughed a few times and seemed to reveal something she shouldn't have said, causing Li Yan to look at his editor worriedly.

"In short, trust your editor. Of course we have to cooperate on something that will be beneficial without any harm. The main thing is to not make mistakes in animation. The other film and television company is also very powerful. I am afraid that they will directly hire popular people. It’s possible that an idol will play the main role. It would be even better if the work is recognized, so don’t worry.”

Kagurazaka Airi showed a confident smile and said to Li Yan.

"...Then, I'll ask Miss Kagurazaka for help from now on."

Li Yan thought for a moment and realized that Kagurazaka Iris might use some tricks on the author in his hand to increase sales, but looking at Japan, it is estimated that the most responsible and professional editor is still the short-haired woman in front of him, and the other person cherishes him the most. There is no one who has written his works, so it is with such an editor that he can become a dark horse in the light novel industry. He agreed to the live-action plan and nodded slightly to Kagurazaka Iris to express his gratitude.

After talking about work, Li Yan habitually took out a pocket watch from his pocket, checked the time, and then put it away. He originally thought that Kagurazaka Iris would return to work immediately, but she saw this scene. .

"Oh, it seems to be a silver pocket watch customized in British style. It's expensive. Mr. Uesugi, do you like such an item?" Kagurazaka Iris looked at it and asked in surprise.

"This is a gift from my juniors. After buying gifts for them in Okinawa, the four of them pooled their money together to buy it as a return gift for me. I thought the price should be a little expensive... They are still students, so spending so much money Spend more money to buy these expensive gifts and tell them there is no need to buy luxury accessories next time.”

Li Yan lowered his head and looked at the pocket watch in his hand, smiling sheepishly.

"...Take it well. It seems that you really take care of them. It's a beautiful pocket watch, teacher." Kagurazaka Airis said with a smile.

"Thank you, I think so too."

Li Yanwen smiled, put away the pocket watch properly, and said.

After Li Yan left, Kagurazaka Iris looked at the departing figure in confusion and thought to himself: "The reaction just now was really like the feeling of an elder similar to his father's generation showing off in front of others, but Mr. Uesugi , aren't you just a freshman... your mental age is too advanced."

※※※

Today is Saturday, and it is only on Saturday and Sunday that we can see children playing in the street. Li Yan, who returned to the apartment building, was about to go upstairs when he heard Satania coming from room 405. and Vinette's voice.

"Gabriel, let's duel!" Satania provoked Gabriel as always.

"Please get out of here, thank you." Gabriel's answer was as simple and rude as ever.

Sure enough, Gabriel's room was always more lively on Saturdays.

——[...Take it well. It seems that you really take care of them. It's a beautiful pocket watch, teacher. 】

When they were talking about work, the words of Kagurazaka Iris reverberated in Li Yan's heart again, which made Li Yan feel that this was a rare opportunity, so he went over to see what the group of them were doing at Gabriel's place.

As a result, when Li Yan walked to the door of the room, there was a chaotic noise inside. Li Yan knocked on the door and tried to turn the doorknob. It turned out that it was not locked, so he said: "Ga Baili, I'm coming in..."

As soon as he opened the door, Li Yan's polite smile had not yet faded away. Suddenly, a handle hit him directly in the face, causing him, the senior who had just opened the door, to stand motionless.

In an instant, the chaotic sounds in Room 405 suddenly subsided, and Gabriel's throwing posture remained there. Satania, who had avoided the attack, was stunned.

"Senior, um... are you okay?"

Vinette, who was stopping the two of them from quarreling in the house, saw this, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She was a little worried, and even more afraid to see this person motionless, with the handle on his face still held in his hand but not taken off. Li Yan asked.

"..."

Li Yan grasped the handle tightly and took it off. His angry eyes, the blood stains on his forehead and the red mark left on the handle indicated that something was wrong and he was very angry. The astonishing evil energy emanating from his body made the angels and demons in the room tremble with fear.

"sorry!!"

Gabriel and Satania immediately bowed and apologized fearfully.

…

After putting a band-aid on the scratch on his forehead, Li Yan's anger disappeared in an instant and he sat down at the table in the room.

Gabriel continued to play the game idly, his hair was messy, and Vinette used a comb to comb it, while Satania was looking at the Okinawa travel photos stored on his computer.

"It's a very peculiar palace, and there is a hotel that looks very atmospheric. The American Village is really like going to the United States... Oh! The beach is also great. Okinawa is really a nice place, senior!"

Satania used her computer to read the travel photos on Li Yan's space, and said with excitement and longing.

"Yeah, it's so beautiful. It's really a tourist attraction." La Feier nodded and praised.

"Although the place is indeed not very big, there are quite a lot of unexpected troubles..." After Li Yan listened to them praise the benefits of Okinawa, he also recalled the several assists he had encountered, as well as the last terrifying experience in the virgin forest. , couldn't help but smile bitterly, and added.

"After all, it's a trip, so there will definitely be some inconveniences." La Feier said with a smile.

"That's right, senior."

Satania suddenly remembered something. She looked at Li Yan, showed a happy smile, and said: "Last week, senior happened to go to Okinawa for a trip, so I didn't find senior when I came here."

"Well, yes, did you have anything to do with me last week?" Li Yan was slightly stunned and asked.

"?"

Vinette, who was sitting aside, just picked up the cup. After hearing what Satania said, she seemed to remember that Satania ran over to find Li Yan very early last Saturday, but ended up in Jiabai. After Li Yan heard about Li Yan's trip, she didn't say anything else. At this time, she suddenly mentioned something strange about her behavior last week again.

"Senior, my father and mother heard that I have a senior here who takes good care of me, so they called me last week and asked me to invite senior to my home. Senior should be free, right?"

Satania showed an expectant expression, clasped her hands together, and asked with a smile.

"puff!!"

When Vinette heard this, she immediately sprayed the water she had not yet drank on Satania's face.

"Ahhh, what are you doing, Vinette?!"

"Ahem, I, I just asked you what you plan to do, Satania?!"

Except for Li Yan, everyone was stunned by Satania's words. Although they basically knew that Li Yan still seemed to regard Satania as an ordinary foreign girl in his mind, but Satania Ya Que has always believed that Li Yan is a big demon of the same race. They have known each other for almost a year, and this misunderstanding has not been resolved until now.

"Now...it's troublesome." Gabriel said in a low voice with a troubled expression.

"Hmm, I feel like it will be interesting later." La Feier's breathing quickened and she followed Gabriel excitedly.

Li Yan did not react. Gabriel completely underestimated the information that Li Yan had. However, Li Yan still mistakenly believed that Satania and Vinette were also members of the angel clan, and was suddenly invited by Satania. Going to her house means that he, a mortal, must go to heaven for once? But this sudden ascension to heaven always bothered him quite a bit.

"what to do?"

In the room, everyone except Satania herself was thinking hard about how to proceed next.

"Are you, are you an idiot...I was wrong, you are indeed an idiot, Satania..."
