Chapter 35: The Game
Liang Ming helped so much at the carnival, he begged for this, Luo Zheng really wanted to satisfy him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but at the carnival, all the entire set of "Hearthstone Sword" character cards have been disassembled, and the ready-made ones are only in the hands of him, Yao Yao and Cheng Yuan.
Luo Zheng had no choice but to promise to give Liang Ming his own set of cards first, and as for himself, he could make another set later.
Looking at the effect on the carnival, the follow-up prospects of "Hearthstone" should be quite good. When the time comes, I guess it's no problem to make cards.
But when the time comes, I am afraid that the cards that will be made again will not be a complete set like before, but a set of five card packs with orange cards depending on the face.
After the dinner, the people stayed in the hotel for another night. In the hotel, Luo Zheng gave Liang Ming a complete set of Hearthstone cards.
The two fought "Hearthstone Greatsword" for another night, and Luo Zheng was tired of fighting, but Liang Ming was still interested. The famous author of the dark wind comics has become completely addicted to the game of pit man.
Of course, with yesterday's lesson, Liang Ming would not give Luo Zheng any chance to trap him. Liang Ming even had to inch in, asking Luo Zheng to use an out-of-the-box deck to beat the deck he had carefully matched. After a long time, Luo Zheng was absent-minded again, and the two became equal opponents.
"Eh, I said brother, the one who followed you during the day wouldn't be your partner in charge of comics, right?" Liang Ming saw that Luo Zheng was getting more and more unmotivated, and teased Luo Zheng's emotions in every possible way, which was simply unscrupulous.
Luo Zheng nodded while playing his cards: "Yes." How can you tell? ”
Liang Ming said: "This is called the intuition of an excellent cartoonist, do you understand?" ”
Luo Zheng glanced at Liang Ming with great contempt and said, "Cut!" ”
Liang Ming sighed and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that there would be such benefits by only making scripts and not drawing." If I had known, I wouldn't have drawn anymore. Make up your own stories, and you can find a beautiful daughter-in-law to draw them. With my talent, Luo Zheng, you said, find someone who is at the same level as you, a painter, no problem, right? ”
Luo Zheng smiled: "To be honest, Teacher Liang. It has nothing to do with talent. ”
"What does that have to do with that?" Liang Ming asked.
Luo Zheng said as a matter of course: "Appearance." ”
"Cut!" This time it was Liang Ming's turn to roll his eyes at Luo Zheng.
But even if Liang Ming looked for more topics, Luo Zheng was still not interested in playing all the time. In addition, he was also a little tired after a tiring day today, and after playing two more games, the two of them did not continue, and each fell asleep.
The next morning, the cartoonists checked out one after another and went back to their homes. After Luo Zheng and Yao Yao got together, they also said goodbye to Liang Ming and separated.
When the two were about to leave, Cheng Yuan stopped them.
"Luo Zheng, Yao Yao, don't be in a hurry to leave, I haven't given you the share of the card pack sold yesterday." Cheng Yuan said, "Also, there are some things to tell you in detail, the editor-in-chief and the leaders of the marketing department invite you to come over." ”
Luo Zheng and Yao Yao followed Cheng Yuan to the Tianya Comics office building not far from the hotel. The editor-in-chief of "Tianya Comics Yang Edition" is waiting in his office. With him were slightly younger men.
Cheng Yuan invited Luo Zheng and Yao Yao to sit down, poured water for them, and then introduced Luo Zheng and Yao Yao. In addition to the editor-in-chief Xie Shengyang, there are two people in the office, one is named Li Longxin, and the other is called Yuan Chengye, who is the representative of the department of Tianya Group that is in charge of the design and marketing of the peripheral products of Tianya Comics, and is responsible for the peripheral design and marketing of many works of Tianya Comics.
After the two sides sat down, the two people directly explained their intentions. It turned out that at yesterday's carnival, the popularity of "Hearthstone" successfully attracted their attention. They carefully studied the game "designed" by Luo Zhengqun, and they felt very interesting. But from Cheng Yuan, they learned that Luo Zheng had registered the patent for the game. So they had to come to Luo Zheng.
But these two people sat opposite Luo Zheng and Yao Yao, and the attitude they showed made Luo Zheng very dissatisfied. They looked at Luo Zheng and Yao Yao, as if they were looking at two children who didn't understand anything, and they could let them fool around. And the game of Hearthstone seems to have been in their pockets.
"Fifty thousand dollars, sell us the Hearthstone copyright." After explaining, Yuan Chengye said directly, "Two, I think you should understand very well. This game is in your hands, and it can only be a small game at best. Even if it can cause repercussions, it will not bring you much benefit. But when we run it, the effect is very different. We can give more publicity to this game and add more characters from the Tianya Comics copyright. In this way, your comic characters can also catch up with the fame of other works and become even more popular. ”
…… 50,000 yuan to buy copyright. This is coaxing children!
Luo Zheng and Yao Yao glanced at each other, Yao Yao blinked and smiled slightly, indicating that they both listened to Luo Zheng.
Two people from the marketing department asked, "What is your opinion?" ”
Luo Zheng also replied bluntly: "I'm sorry, I don't want to sell." ”
Yuan Chengye frowned and asked, "Reason?" ”
Luo Zheng said: "I just don't want to sell it, do you need any more reasons?" He felt that these two men were so strong that they were annoying, as if they were dictating to him.
Li Longxin said: "Mr. Luo Zheng, this is such a good opportunity, I can't figure out why you rejected us." A work, no matter how good it is, needs good marketing. Just like the success of "Big Sword", it comes from the popularity of online forums and centralized discussions. It's also a form of marketing. The same is true for a board game that wants to become popular and truly accepted by the public. I ask you, you won't sell us the game, but can you advertise it all over every city? ”
Luo Zheng shook his head and said, "No." ”
Li Longxin said: "Can you introduce the game to every board game store in China?" ”
Luo Zheng said: "No." ”
Li Longxin asked: "Can you find a way to make it more popular?" ”
Luo Zheng said: "No." ”
Li Longxin asked again: "Can you let it bring you more benefits and give you more things?" ”
Luo Zheng said honestly: "No." ”
Li Longxin said: "Then I can't figure it out, give it to us, we can bring you more benefits." Why didn't you say yes? ”
"Because I don't want to say yes." Luo Zheng said, "I took out this game because I originally wanted to play it myself, and I never thought it could be so popular." I draw comics, and I don't want to make money from games. Why do I have to answer you when I hear your questions? ”
Li Longxin and Yuan Chengye's faces were dark, and they didn't speak angrily. Luo Zheng turned his mind, gave them a step down, and said, "Don't say too much." Let me be straight to the point - my game, after all, is a new game, you saw it at the carnival. I just thought I could try to do it. But that's all there is to it, that's why you're offering me such a price. This price, no matter how high it is, I'm afraid you will feel distressed, but you are so low, I also feel sorry for my game. So it's better that you don't buy it, I don't sell it, everyone cooperate, I license the game to you, and you do a Hearthstone brawl. I also add the character of the big sword. Isn't that great? ”
