Chapter Seventy-Five: Back to New York

"The CG promotional video of the game version of "Arcane Throne" shook the whole audience at the game exhibition. ”

"The era of game adaptation of best-selling books may officially begin?"

Wang gradually held a newspaper in his hand and sat in the first-class cabin on his flight to New York.

Not to mention, starting from the topic of the best-selling book adaptation, and then extending to the game of "Arcane Throne", it really looks like that.

If you didn't know the inside story, maybe you wouldn't think that so many reports are Ea's advertising advertorials.

Wang gradually smiled and put down the newspaper, summoned the stewardess, and asked for a drink.

After the middle-aged woman named flight attendant, who is actually an "air mother", handed over a drink.

He sipped his drink and thought about what had happened since he got back to the hotel yesterday.

In the evening, EA's vice president came to visit his room.

According to him, because the RPG promos of other game companies are more or less a bit of Diablo, they have not caused much repercussions.

Therefore, EA decided to transfer the elites of other project teams to accelerate the process of game design.

In order to strive for the launch of "Arcane Throne" on PC when Diablo logs in on other platforms.

In this regard, Wang gradually expressed his very welcome.

He received a call from Tom, and after the release of the CG short, there was another explosive increase in paid reading of Arcane Throne.

The launch of the comic version and the game version means that "Arcane Throne" has completed a certain degree of out of the circle.

It is no longer just for fans of fantasy literature, but has begun to have a certain pop culture influence.

This kind of influence is what Hollywood studios value the most.

Because of its popularity, "Super Mario" can be adapted into a live-action movie.

So, is it possible to fantasize about Arcane Throne?

The most critical point is that Hollywood's licensing fee for this kind of popular work is calculated in millions of dollars.

This...

It's just amazing.

The king gradually closed his eyes, as if he saw the sky full of green banknotes flying towards him.

But the sound of the stewardess ruthlessly interrupted his fantasy.

Wang gradually laughed to himself and began to wait for the plane to land.

Ten minutes later.

He carried his luggage and set foot on the soil of New York again.

If Los Angeles is based on "profit", it has added the coat of "name".

New York, then, is a matter of naked interest first.

You won't see the kind of Los Angeles where handsome men and women perform on the streets, just to get applause.

If you are in Times Square in New York and a doll asks you to take a picture, then the next sentence must be: $10 a piece.

Wang gradually looked at the crowd of people in suits and leather shoes around him, and began to search carefully.

A moment later, he saw Tom's figure running fast.

"Wang, the revamp of the website has been completed. Tom puffed and said, "Do you go to the office first, or do you go straight back to the apartment?"

"I didn't even say that the trip was pleasant, it really fits the temperament of New York. Wang gradually sighed in his heart.

Then he handed his luggage to Tom and "went straight back to the apartment." ”

An hour later.

Wang gradually sat on the second floor of his apartment, sipping his coffee and looking at the front page of the website where his works began to be clearly categorized.

He clicked on "Fantasy" and saw a large number of works.

Even, there are already novels that are about to catch up with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in terms of readers.

The momentum is good.

Wang gradually took a sip of coffee with satisfaction.

But when he clicked on the newly created "Fantasy" catalog, he found that there was only one novel, "Extreme Heavenly Demon".

,

What kind of category is this?

A solitary work, hanging in a separate catalog.

As the author, Wang gradually should be very happy.

But as the boss, Wang Yan can only be very embarrassed.

He frowned, thinking of a solution.

Can...

When it comes to fantasy novels in the Western world, in addition to the science fiction of spaceships, it is the fantasy of "sword and magic".

It's a little bit of a fantasy.,It's a "special function" or something.。

But most of these are classified as urban.

As for going to ancient times, it seems that Americans have not yet evolved this idea.

Forget it, forget it.

As long as "Extreme Heavenly Demon" can be popular, I am not afraid that no one will follow suit.

Wang gradually reluctantly opened the keyboard and began a difficult codeword career again.

At the same time, Neil Gaiman, who was highly regarded by the horror master Stephen King, also logged on to the site.

He wanted to see how interesting an idea could be that Stephen King praised for being funny.

Sword and magic, magic and sword...

After a few minutes, Neil Gaiman scoffed and put the mouse down.

Is this also called interesting?

If he is willing to write this, the six major publishing houses will cry and shout for their own work, and they will give more than 15% of the royalties.

But he wasn't happy.

For the sake of his own ideas, he would rather describe his works to various editors in the name of a "new writer who has won the World Fantasy Award".

Although, these editors have politely declined their contributions.

But, that's what I want to write.

But just as Neil Gaiman was about to close the web page and continue writing his own manuscript.

He suddenly noticed that there was a category on the webpage called "Fantasy".

This is

What the?

He clicked curiously.

Then, a lone work appeared in front of his eyes.

"Extreme Heavenly Demon"?

Author, Wang Jian?

This young man has a new book again?

I have to admit that although his book "Arcane Throne" is also sword and magic, it plays with new ideas on the basis of sword and magic.

"Knowledge is power?" Neil Gaiman raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "Then let me see what you write in this book." ”

He clicked the mouse, went to the work, and began to read.

Through...

It's crossing again...

Crossing is about to become the standard beginning of this Wang Gradual.

Neil Gaiman frowned slightly, and lowered his inner expectation a notch.

But then, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

This time it's the age of Greek mythology?

This coincides with some of my own ideas.

In the age of mythology, demons are dancing, and the protagonist is an ordinary person who struggles to survive.

Neil Gaiman nodded, and the sense of anticipation was turned back.

This beginning, this idea, is kind of interesting.

He sipped his coffee as he continued to look down.

Suddenly, he squirted coffee onto the computer screen in one gulp.

This "navy" ...

What the hell is it?

Novels, still TM can be written like this?

However, the rhythm of this novel is really good, and it can make people interested in reading it all the time.

Neil Gaiman continued to look down.

Villains from all walks of life have appeared one after another, and the protagonist relies on this "dark blue" to defeat them one by one.

But even if the protagonist looks like him in the book, he dares to shout: "I'm just an ordinary person?"

Who gave him courage?

Then, the gods of Greek mythology came out one by one.

Neil Gaiman looked more seriously.

Because this is similar to his creativity.
