Chapter 231 A Million Ways to Die on Mars
So many novels of Lin Han are concentrated on the release of this year, and the expansion of influence is slightly insufficient. The spread of novels takes time. It does not become popular as TV series, and its reputation needs to be fermented.
If you don’t promote or create momentum, just let your works lie there quietly. Can you become popular? Can you have the opportunity to enter the Good Book List or Bestseller List?
The answer is naturally no. In this era of fragmented information flying around, writers also need to manage themselves. Even if they don’t know how to market, they have to find a reliable team.
Lin Han is like this now. He is unwilling to come forward to do publicity, but there is a star-level studio behind him. He won a Hugo Award and even netizens across the country know that a large part of this credit belongs to Chen Jiaxuan.
Any work needs to be disseminated. Writers will not consider readers when writing, but when writing is completed, they need to face the author and the market.
Only when a writer writes his works first can he talk about management. If he can't even make a move, what else can he do to manage?
"You are just a fake noble and lazy person."
Chen Jiaxuan commented unhappily, saying that the two of them were sitting in the living room, and there was still half an hour before the agreed time with Fu Zhan.
While looking down at the Xingyue game information collected in front of him, Lin Han turned the neutral pen in his hand, "Anyway, I have a good team and don't need to go into the battle myself."
According to the practice of most writers, after the book is published, they will actively cooperate with the publishing house to carry out various publicity, attend events, sign sales, lectures, etc., and even actively explore the characteristics of the works to provide them to interested media.
Many people are still making full use of blogs, micro-blogs, online self-media and other media to promote new books and interact with readers. These are things that Lin Han rarely does.
People are lazy and have any reason.
In my ears were Chen Jiaxuan’s occasional complaints. Lin Han filtered them out directly and read all the information in one breath.
"Xingyue Games has received 30 million in financing, so it should be more than enough to make our game. Those employees really came from large game companies, and there are even a few people involved in the production of popular mobile games."
"I want to sell the copyright of your novel "Three-Body Problem". Should I adapt the book "Three-Body Problem" or the game in "Three-Body Problem"?"
Lin Han looked up at Chen Jiaxuan wearing a women's shirt and quipped, "Don't worry, the novel has not been published yet, and no one can refer to it."
After more than ten minutes, Fu Zhan, who was sweating profusely, hurried in with two young assistants.
"Teacher Lin, Miss Chen, I'm very sorry for being late."
Lin Han and his friends shook hands and sat down separately, and Fu Zhan's assistant handed over the plan they had made.
Game planning is probably what they talked about before, the specific form and dialogue must be improved while doing it, so what Chen Jiaxuan is more concerned about is copyright prices and subsequent promotion issues.
The copyright price of a text adventure game can actually reach 8 million, which is probably the best condition they can give. Not only does it buy the copyright of this mobile game, but it also has to let Lin Han go there as a content guide.
Different dialogues have different game branches, and it is the bottom line that lets the original author join and guide. The employees of their game companies are not able to catch up on science fiction novels, so they can only start.
"I can be a guide, but I am free of time and I will not accept any restrictions. The content setting part should be done by me will never be delayed."
"If the copyright price of 8 million is under a lot of pressure, we are willing to exchange 5 million yuan with 8% of the follow-up income."
...
Youdao is that the couple is united and they are able to cut off gold. Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan, the couple, had been struggling with Fu Zhan in the living room for a long time before reaching an agreement.
Xingyue Games would rather increase the copyright price to RMB 9 million than give up subsequent income. That is their bottom line. This happens to be the target position of Chen Jiaxuan and others. This is just a text adventure game, and it cannot sweep the entire network like action adventure games.
For a new team, hundreds of thousands are worth it, so it is very difficult to reach an agreement.
After sending Fu Zhan and his group out, Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief. He drank the remaining water from the mineral water bottle in front of him, and said with emotion: "This is too tiring to pick words and numbers. I would rather go broadcast for a few hours than do this job."
"Now you know how difficult our work is!"
Chen Jiaxuan took the contract with the amendment opinions and handed over to the legal staff to re-develop the agreement. She will sign the contract privately tomorrow. It is necessary to be cautious when it comes to such a large amount of projects.
I worked hard to sell millions of novels, but I was not as profitable as selling a mobile game copyright. Lin Han finally knew the benefits of these IPs now.
...
The next day, according to the content stipulated in the contract, Lin Han had to start the first promotion for the new team, so netizens saw a message like this on Xinlangwei-Bo:
"The great scholars of the Hanlin Academy, let me tell you a good thing. "Marls Rescue" will be adapted into a classic text adventure game by the senior game team Xingyue Game. It is expected to be launched at the end of the year. Some book friends will be invited to do internal testing. Friends who are willing to sign up can leave a message in the Hanlin Academy's top post. The game company will contact you at that time. This game is also known as one million ways to die on Mars!"
The alias of the game is Lin Han. This statement is very appropriate. If the game is not careful, it will cause the death of survivors. There are many methods, and it is called "A-million-ways-to-die-on-Mars" (A-million-ways-to-die-on-Mars). It is appropriate.
Surprises appeared one by one in front of readers. The new book "Three-Body Problem" has already uploaded a large image of the cover without a watermark to Weibo. Now "Martian Rescue" has begun to appear in the game version. Compared to the honest novel name, netizens like this nickname more, which is so curious!
"Leave a message first and then sign up. I have been playing text adventure games for a while, but this type is rare."
"Ah, it's very interesting to read this alias. Make a reservation and buy one."
"Why is the alias not a fantasy drift on Mars? We have to wait until the end of the year. I hope it will be more well-made and don't make it a game that makes money."
"I'm looking forward to this kind of game, I haven't played it yet."
"Do you keep your word? What if there are no million ways to die?"
Chapter completed!
