In the evening of the same day, Tom came to Wang Yan's apartment.

He first pulled out a document with details of the location that matched the website's office.

Then, I came up with a list of office supplies that I needed to buy to start an Internet company.

Wang gradually took the document in his hand and made a rough calculation.

It costs more than $300,000 to prepare these things.

"Can't it be cheaper?" asked Wang gradually to Tom.

Tom shook his head and said, "It's hard, unless you want to set up your office in the Bronx." ”

Wang gradually thought about the environment in the Bronx and shook his head decisively.

Start a dot-com company in that place...

By the time I got to work the next day, I guess there was nothing left in the office.

Wang gradually calculated that if the total investment amount is 300,000 US dollars, then 75% of the capital contribution ratio is 225,000 US dollars.

And his total funds are only more than 400,000 US dollars.

But this is only the money needed in the process of preparing for the establishment of an Internet company.

If there is an unexpected situation in the future, it is estimated that more than 400,000 US dollars will have to be hit.

"By the way, how much does EA pay for Arcane Throne?" he asked hopefully.

Tom shook his head and said, "EA's offer is only $150,000. ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand?" Wang gradually asked in surprise, "Is it just the first volume, or is it the quotation of the entire book of "Arcane Divine Seat". ”

"A quote for the whole book. Tom also frowned, a little helplessly.

Moreover, the $150,000 will also include the exclusive rights to the game for ten years in Arcane Throne. ”

"There is so much difference between the price of game licensing and film and television licensing?" Wang gradually turned on the computer, ready to retrieve the relevant information.

"At the moment, your Arcane Throne should be the first best-selling book to be adapted into a computer game. Tom replied, "So we don't have a standard to look at." ”

"This license may become the charging standard for other best-selling licensed games in the future. ”

After Wang gradually searched, he did not find any precedent for adapting other best-selling books into computer games.

However, he found a lot of information about the adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons into a video game.

"Can't you use this as a reference standard?" Wang gradually asked, pointing to the computer screen, to Tom.

After taking a look, Tom shook his head helplessly and said, "First of all, Dungeons & Dragons is not a bestseller, but a board game. ”

"Secondly, Dungeons & Dragons offers a completely new gameplay and worldview, which Arcane Throne can't do. ”

"Frankly speaking, the content of the first volume of "Arcane Throne" is somewhat similar to the setting of "Diablo". ”

"EA bought the license just to attract the attention of some gamers through the popularity of Arcane Throne. ”

New game settings and world views?

Wang gradually rubbed his chin and began to think about the rest of Arcane Throne.

"If, the second volume of "Arcane Throne", the setting of "knowledge is power" will be concretized and obvious. ”

"So, is it possible for you to take some lead in the negotiations with EA?" asked Wang.

"If it's logically self-consistent and very hot, it should be fine. Tom replied after a moment's silence.

"It takes time to write a novel, and at the moment, EA's patience is very limited. ”

Wang gradually smiled and said to Tom, "You don't have to worry about that. ”

"You just have to hold EA down and keep them interested in Arcane Throne. ”

Tom asked, a little curious, "Do you have a manuscript?" Didn't you just write the first volume of "I Am the Archmage" and "The Arcane Throne?"

Wang gradually pointed to his head and said with a smile, "It's all here." ”

So, a moment later.

Tom was eating takeout as he watched his fingers flutter on the keyboard.

He thought to himself, "I don't even have an outline, so I can write so quickly while thinking about it." ”

"Is that what a best-selling author is capable of?"

And at the moment.

After reading the second volume of Arcane Throne, George Martin took a look at Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was in first place.

This made him feel that he was getting old.

The younger generations not only have wonderful imaginations, but also have a steady stream of inspiration.

He drank five cups of unsweetened black coffee to refresh himself.

When I was ready to force myself to start writing the second volume of A Song of Ice and Fire.

The computer began to pop up like crazy again.

Arcane Throne, Volume II, Chapters 21, 22, 23...

George Martin shuddered and looked at the computer.

After a few moments, he turned off the computer,

Then, tearing up the manuscript on the table, he left the study.

"I didn't see anything today. He said to himself, "Sleep, go to sleep." ”

It's not the same as George Martin's.

Many fantasy lovers are simply ecstatic.

Since the first half of this year, with the birth of "I Am the Archmage", fantasy boutiques have begun to emerge in endlessly.

Although, "I Am an Archmage" cannot be considered a classic fantasy masterpiece.

But the kind of protagonist who travels through another world still arouses the interest of many readers.

Then, the first volumes of "Arcane Throne" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" followed.

One of them is novel, the other is heavy, and they are all rare fantasy masterpieces.

These readers have not yet had time to read these two books over and over again, as they have done in the past.

appeared quietly again, and brought "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

This book is labeled as children's literature, and has a very different style from "Arcane Throne" and "A Song of Ice and Fire".

It's plain, easy to understand, and full of blood.

Most crucially, the story also takes place in the school.

This gives readers who are generally bullied in school a deep sense of anticipation.

And, it also brings a different way of reading than before, online reading,

and the ability to buy individual chapters instead of the entire book.

This is a great experience for those readers who don't like to go out.

Just when everyone thought that the climax of this year's fantasy literature had passed.

It will take a while for writers to gather inspiration and break out again.

It's the guy called "Wang Gradual" again, and he actually started to update the second volume of "Arcane Throne" on the Internet.

Moreover, through the reading of the previous chapters, they felt that the second volume of the Arcane Throne was not an inferior product to rush to make money.

It is even more novel and interesting than the first volume of "Arcane Throne".

While they want the author to speed up the update, they lament that the weight of the wallet is rapidly decreasing.

It's just that these people don't realize that it has become their habit to log in to this website every day and read the works on the website.

And through their spread, there are more and more people who have this habit.
