Chapter 598: Let them experience an "action fighting" online game

The name of this female writer is Rowling. She is writing a novel, the name of this novel, there is nothing peculiar, it looks ordinary, it is called: harrypotterandthephilosophersstone, translated into Chinese, it is "Harry. Potter".

That's right, this female writer is none other than Harry. Author of Potter, Rowling.

Back then, this single mother who once relied on handouts to raise her children, a Harry. The appearance of Potter brought him to the top of the writer's seat. Perhaps, you can't know Harry. How hot Potter is. So, here is a number for you to explain, you will know how the novel makes the world crazy.

According to statistics, Harry. The Porter series of novels has been translated into 74 languages and has sold more than 400 million copies in more than 200 countries around the world, ranking first in the history of non-religious and market-selling books. Meanwhile, Harry. Porter's best-selling also spurred the emergence of a series of other brands. Like movies, costumes...... Because of this work, it has set off a frenzy around the world. The most typical is the movie, whenever Harry. After Potter appears, it will become a classic that penetrates the world.

Now Rowling, he's writing about Harry. Potter 6, also known as Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It's just that when she calmed down and wrote for only half an hour, an editor from the "Blombry" company came unexpectedly.

"Sorry to bother you."

The editor's name is "Reed", and of course, he is now the editor-in-chief of the publishing house "Blombry".

"It's okay, sit down, I know, you don't have anything important, you don't bother me in general."

Rowling was not angry at the disturbance of this "Reed". On the contrary, Reed was able to arrive, and she was a little happy. There was no other reason for this, it was purely when Rowling was cornered. The editor, Reed, helped him bring Harry to the table. Porter reported it to the company, and in the end, he decided to try to publish it.

It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as the book was published, it immediately caused a global upsurge. And Blombry, a small publishing company, is also because of the publication of Harry. Potter, the tide rises for a while. The stock price has exploded more than ten times in just a few years. In this way, Rowling has always been grateful for the kindness of "Reed".

"Thank you."

Reed took the coffee Rowling handed over, took a sip, and put it down. She looked at Rowling and said, "Ms. Rowling, I wonder if you have ever been exposed to online literature?" ”

"Online literature?"

Although Rowling didn't know why "Reed" suddenly asked about online literature, Rowling still replied, "Although I don't know very much." However, when I have free time, I occasionally go online and watch some entertainment works. Of course, just like the more popular Dou Po recently, I have also seen it. ”

"yes, that's great. What do you think, how about the book Dou Po? ”

"It's good, at least, he's attracted a lot of people from all over the world."

Although Rowling didn't finish watching Dou Po, Dou Po was able to occupy the position of the click list all the time. This has proven what a classic this novel should be. For this, Rowling also gave her own compliments. It's just that, after hearing what Rowling said, Reed shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm not talking about this novel." What I'm saying is, what do you think, how do you think about the way of online arbitration? ”

Not only China, but also Europe and the United States. Their way of reading is also through books. Like an online serialized update, for Rowling, he feels very new. Rowling is a writer, though. He is very receptive to many new things. After Reed spoke, Rowling picked up, "I don't know how they work, but I think it's a serialized update. Just like TV dramas, being able to attract others all the time is a good way to publish. Especially for ordinary people, if they have this platform, maybe, they can also create countless famous writers. ”

Rowling couldn't help but sigh.

It's great now that there's the internet.

Remembering my former self, even if I wrote Harry. Porter, every time he was sent to the publishing station, he was also turned away. And it has been bluntly said by many publishing giants, who will read this kind of novel that has no writing in it? Even the publishing company that "Reed" worked for agreed to publish this work in the first place, and the reason given was because they thought that Harry . . . Porter may be of interest to children.

It wasn't until now that people finally discovered that Harry. Porter was not only able to attract children, he also attracted the interest of everyone across the globe. At the thought of this, Rowling couldn't stop crying. If at that time, the Internet also had such a platform, then I would not have worked so hard and begged various publishing houses.

"Great, actually, we think so too."

Reed laughed, and he thought that Rowling had some resistance to online literature. After all, he was a traditional literary author. It's just that he didn't expect that he still has a great interest in online literature. Even the way they update has been studied. For this reason, "Reed" refined, and then said, "Ms. Rowling, I have come to discuss something with you today at the company's arrangement. The company decided to expand Harry. The influence of Potter is ready to bring Harry. Porter's book, put it on the network serialized update. ”

"Put my novel on the Internet and serialize?"

Rowling was slightly surprised.

Although she thinks that web serialization is a good literary platform. However, she has now achieved fame. There is no need for this platform at all, and it is already possible for traditional publishing houses to help her promote and help her. And, now Harry. Potter has become so famous that as soon as the novel is published, the world will go crazy to introduce it. Why do publishers still publish novels on the Internet under such circumstances? For this reason, Rowling was very puzzled, and raised her own questions, "The way of online serialization is good, but after online serialization, our physical novel sales may have a great impact." ”

This is an indisputable fact.

Many online authors, because of the publication of novels, in order to be able to achieve good results in physical novels. In this way, they gave up on online updates and directly sent the latter complex to the publisher. Not to mention, for a top writer like Rowling. After all, online serialization is good, but if it affects the publication of physical novels, it will be very bad. Moreover, Rowling is not a web novel author. She doesn't really understand the income model of online authors. For this reason, she is also a little worried about this platform.

However, today's Reed, he came here to explain it to Rowling.

"Rest assured, we've done a lot of research on this. We found that online and real, he has been divided into two types of people. That is, in reality, many things, online friends, they don't like. In the same way, what they do on the Internet, many friends in fact, they don't do. Just like when reading novels, friends who choose to read online generally rarely buy physical books. In our statistics, only one out of 100 people who read online will occasionally buy physical books, and that's just occasionally. In other words, the serialization of online novels will not have much impact on the sales of physical novels. ”

I have to say that the investigation done by Reed is really powerful.

In fact, exactly.

Whether it is now or in the future, friends who choose to read online generally rarely buy physical books. And those who choose to buy physical novels rarely read them online. Because, they feel that reading on the Internet is too painful for their eyes, too inconvenient, and very harmful to their health.

In this way, with the popularity of this phenomenon in the eyes of many writers, especially online authors. When their serialized novels are published physically, these authors will ask for it. His novels need to be kept up to date, if they are to be published for the sake of physical publication and I will stop updating them. Well, I'm going to give up physical publishing.

Yes, these authors are such tough.

Because, at that time, for those authors who were a little famous. Their sales of online serialized novels are far better than physical sales. Moreover, also earn more. If you give up your own network updates for the sake of publication, this kind of thing is far from worth it.

So, we see that as well. In later novels, the works of the great gods, they have been serialized and updated, and there really is no great god who will stop updating because his works are about to be published. Even if their work is going to be adapted into an online game, they can't stop.

"Oh, I see."

Hearing Reed's explanation, Rowling also understood.

"In addition to that, Harry Potter's fame has now risen to a qualitative height. Yes, this one is famous. Even people who haven't read the novel think that the work is famous. However, no matter how famous this work is, there are some friends who don't want to buy physical novels, but they still haven't read it. It just so happens that some of the readers who read it online are people who have not read Harry Potter's work. The company believes that we at Harry Potter can absorb this part of the population and make them Harry Potter readers. In this way, Harry Potter is cut on the Internet, and his influence may rise to another level. ”

"Looks good, so, do you want to build your own online literature platform?"

"Uh...... No, we decided to work with the international version of the novel. ”

It's easier said than done to build your own online literature platform. If there are no readers, even if you make this platform, it will be useless. Look, the French giant publishing company is also overwhelmed by the international version of the novel, not to mention their small publishing company.

"Well, if it doesn't affect the publication of the physical novel, I'm willing to put Harry Potter on the Internet to be serialized." Finally, Rowling replied.

"No problem, if you're still not at ease. You can leave the finale and not put it in. When the time comes, maybe friends who have watched the electronic version will buy the physical version further for the ending of the novel. ”

"Great, this is a good idea."

Rowling laughed. Being able to expand the influence of her own novels, how could Rowling disagree? What's more, put it on this worldwide online literature platform. With Harry Potter's influence, I am afraid that the electronic version will add a good amount of income to him.

At this point, after Rowling agreed, the Harry Potter book was officially logged on to the "Novel" platform.

……

Tang Dynasty Group Headquarters.

"Harry Potter?"

No way.

When Chen Jiayi landed on the international version of the novel, he suddenly found that there was a novel called Harry Potter. In his heart, Chen Jiayi was a little cold. Secretly said, "It can't be a spoof by an author, right?" I remember that in later generations, in some other online novel websites, there were also authors such as "Analects" and "Mencius" who uploaded works. However, even if it is a spoof by the author, this should not be the case. After all, if a novel is uploaded, he needs to pass the review, otherwise, the original literary website of the novel may become a sex website.

"Could it be that the editor deserted?"

Chen Jiayi was puzzled and clicked to read it.

"I'm going to go, it's the real Harry Potter."

It wasn't until Chen Jiayi looked up and saw the homepage advertisement that he found out. It turns out that this Harry Potter is not a copycat work, nor is it a gunman work, but a work written by real Rowling. If it is fake, Ms. Rowling, who is internationally famous and more famous than Chen Jiayi, has officially registered the novel. "Wow."

Seeing this news, Chen Jiayi was so excited.

Chen Jia never thought that Rowling, who ranked first on the world's best-selling author list, would actually go to the novel to upload and update. Until, when Chen Jiayi calmed down for a while, he no longer doubted it. For this reason, Chen Jiayi also read the novel's interview with Rowling.

When asked in the novel why Rowling chose to go into the "novel" for an update. Rowling said that with the development of the Internet, she is very optimistic about the serialized reading mode of online literature. As the author of Harry Potter, she is also willing to try such an update.

In a short sentence, Chen Jiayi was clear. It turned out that in the international version of the novel, he had slowly moved towards success. Today, there are Harry Potter authors entering the site, and tomorrow, he will have the author of the "Nobel Prize in Literature" entering the site and creating at the same time as authors from all over the world.

Chen Jiayi is looking forward to the novel, and there will definitely be this day.

……

Just when Chen Jiayi lamented the power of the international version of the novel, a large-scale protest took place in the global Internet market. This protest comes from playing European and American games.

"At present, European and American single-player gamers have formed a camp to strongly protest against the Tang Dynasty's Internet disrupting the balance of world games and stifling the development of single-player games. They suggested that it was hoped that the relevant departments would stop the approval plan for Tang Dynasty's online games and prohibit any game companies from acting as agents for Tang Dynasty's online game products. At the same time, they also hope that some online game players will return to the embrace of single-player games and no longer try any online game products. ”

Liu Zhiming took the information and read it to Chen Jiayi.

"It's a big world, and there's nothing strange about it. Unexpectedly, there are such protests. ”

Chen Jia laughed.

The Tang Dynasty's global domination of the Internet finally caused protests from some single-player gamers.

"Mr. Chen, among them, Gu Ran has some real protest players. However, most of them were influenced by other game companies to join the protests. ”

At this time, Liu Zhiming said to Chen Jiayi.

"Well, I know that."

Without organization, without purpose, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary players to protest.

"However, we also have to take such a protest seriously."

Although, the governments of European and American countries will definitely take action to ignore such protests. After all, he has no reason to talk about such a protest at all. Moreover, most of the games that are popular all over the world are represented by European and American game manufacturers. To learn the truth, first of all, they lost some European and American game manufacturers.

It's just that in the European and American game industry, he himself is a single-player game maker. A lot of gamers, they've been playing single-player games for decades. They've always had a penchant for single-player games. It's just that I didn't expect that in less than a few years, the market has plummeted due to the impact of online games. Until now, there are only a few classic masterpieces in the world.

Judging by their development plans, though. In recent years, there is no possibility of wanting a sequel. It is said that they are preparing to make this stand-alone game into an online game. So, after some disgruntled venters appeared, this protest officially began.

After thinking about it, Chen Jiayi asked again, "Zhiming, what do the governments of European and American countries think about this protest?" ”

European and American countries have always been relatively free, and Chen Jiayi feels that such protests will not have much strength. Moreover, such protests are just shouting slogans on the Internet. Protest slogans like this are of no use at all. The government does not care about some actions on the Internet at all.

"The political governments of European and American countries have not said anything for the time being, however, there are several agents who suggest that we hope that our Tang Dynasty Company can handle the matter perfectly, so as not to make this protest a big one." After all, this kind of player's protest, he is a bad event in itself. Although they are not worried about how much it will be affected, if they can eliminate it, they will still eliminate him.

"Oh, that's it."

Chen Jia nodded. But they know that in this kind of thing, the European and American governments will not fork their hands, and they do not want to fork their hands. But the protests of so many people are really not to be underestimated. If you make things bigger, maybe from the Internet to reality, then you will have to be in trouble. For this reason, Chen Jiayi thought carefully in his mind, how to eliminate it?

After a while, Chen Jiayi suddenly asked a question.

"Zhiming, how is the DNF we are working on?"

"Back to Mr. Chen, DNF has completed the internal packaging and testing, and is planning an internal tester."

"Okay, that's good."

Hearing that DNF had completed the internal closed beta, Chen Jia laughed, "Tell the major European and American agencies that our answer is to let these players experience a real action fighting online game." ”
