Chapter 110: Game Novel
"Xiao Hao, have you heard of a ranger club here in Star City?" Wu Kang called Jian Hao after sending Shi Jianguo away, and it happened that Jian Hao was now discussing with Ah Feng how to increase the power of professional writers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ranger Club? I really haven't heard of this, Brother Kang, is there anything wrong? When Jian Hao heard this name, he thought it was the name of which guild, it was too gamified.
"A small group composed of some rich second generations in Star City was formed when I played "Legend of Blood" before. Just now, the person in charge of them came to our company, and I thought that the game evaluation network was a subsidiary of our company, and your current website is famous enough. Wu Kang had to admire Jian Hao.
"Do they have any needs? It stands to reason that if it's a player group, they won't come to my site to advertise. I should also be a gamer of "War of the Three Kingdoms", Brother Kang. Jian Hao guessed that the group was playing "War of the Three Kingdoms" now, but he didn't guess the needs mentioned below.
"I can't hide this from you, but he did have something to do with you, and he wanted your website to write a game novel, which is a web novel based on "Legend of Blood" and "Three Kingdoms". If you don't have enough money there, they're willing to pay for you to write, this is a business opportunity, Xiaohao. Wu Kang didn't know how Jian Hao would react after hearing this.
"Writing online game novels? And they're willing to pay? It's really rich and capricious, I'll think about it, discuss it with the person in charge of the website and then tell you. Jian Hao was still a little shocked when he heard this request, because he had heard such a saying in his previous life before, someone specially spent tens of thousands of yuan to hire a professional writer to write a novel for him alone, what a luxury.
"I sent you his number directly by text message, his name is Shi Jianguo, you can contact him directly." Wu Kang replied, and then hung up the phone.
In the conversation just now, because the voice was very loud, Ah Feng basically heard a rough idea, especially when he heard the Ranger Club, it was like seeing an idol.
"Haozi, you don't know about the Ranger Club? That's Star City's sensational group in the "Legend of Blood" player group, although the number is small, but it has money and equipment, and it is also well-known in the entire legend world, why are they looking for us? Ah Feng couldn't wait to know why his team, which was out of reach, found his website.
"I really haven't heard of it, but the leader of their team just approached my friend and said that he wanted us to write some online game novels, about the two games "Legend of Blood" and "War of the Three Kingdoms". They are also willing to contribute a portion of the funds to support professional writers to complete the creation. Jian Hao relayed what Wu Kang had just said on the phone.
"Does it mean that you still have money to write game novels? And such a good thing. "It's the first time I've heard of something like this, but it's really a good thing for many people who like games.
"Well, a good thing is a good thing, but we don't have enough manpower now, and the game review network is our foundation, and you can write game novels if you have time. Or let's have an essay contest to write some related novels for some games, and then make a serialization on our game review website and give a special link. Jian Hao felt that this must be a good thing for players, if someone is willing to pay this money, this event will be done.
"With my current workload, I don't think I have much time to write a novel, but I think it's really good to have an essay on our website, and if it is released in a serialized way, it will definitely attract a larger group of readers." Ah Feng has slowly adapted to the feeling of treating the game evaluation network as his own business, because there is a lot of hard work in it.
"You're right in this way of thinking.,The game evaluation network will definitely go out independently in the future.,I guess according to this momentum, we'll have to increase our strength when we come back after the New Year.。 In the future, I still have to be responsible for you, and I think you are quite suitable for this. If you want to make a game again one day, you can also directly say that there are ready-made projects and manpower here. "Jian Hao plans to train Ah Feng to become a manager, because he is really interested in the work of game evaluation, and he has improved very quickly.
"Then I'm going to draft a proposal for a call for papers, and you'll give you a reward, and what kind of reward should we use to motivate professional writers to submit." Ah Feng asked, there must be a corresponding reward to make the writer more motivated.
"The budget of the event can be within 100,000 yuan, and strive to produce a few more good novels, which can be regarded as our investment advertisement. If you think of a few of the most popular games, start with them. The first batch of 5 games will be decided on first, and see how it goes. "Jian Hao also thought about making his own novel website in his previous life, and now it is an opportunity.
"The budget of 100,000 yuan is really a big deal, and I estimate that many players will be very interested in trying this event without that much. I just think about it, if anyone was willing to ask me to write a novel about an online game, I would have died happily for 600 yuan a month. Ah Feng thought that when he wrote articles about games in an Internet café, he didn't take any money, and he was also very happy to write.
"Then this task will be handed over to you, and I will be responsible for contacting those local tyrants." After explaining the precautions of some activities, Jian Hao really called Shi Jianguo, and told him about his plan for the activities here, especially emphasizing the funding of 100,000 yuan.
Jian Hao is not afraid that the other party will not agree, because if you can advertise on the novel, the effect is also quite good, because the readership group is very fixed and targeted. If he really doesn't agree, Jian Hao also plans to pay this money to hold such an event.
At this time, the naming domain name is not www.qidian.com, or www.cmfu.com, the domain name is not as easy to remember as before, and the naming novel network at this time is still not the boss in the industry, and there are big-name websites such as Phantom Sword. At this time, it is the foreshadowing period for the development of online novels, because the way and habit of payment have not yet been established, which leads to the profitability of many websites.
And the online novels of this era, if they can keep the daily stability at 2000 to 3000, it is already good. Unlike in the era of fierce competition in the previous life, when there were more than 10,000 novels a day, Jian Hao's understanding of this aspect is because his plot planner is also an author of online novels, and he will often hear the other party tell stories about the online literary circle.
However, in his previous life, Jian Hao read a lot of novels, and almost all classic novels will be read, after all, it is rare to do game development without reading online novels.
In 2003, the most important thing about online novels is the charging model, there are many websites that actually have a group of very good authors and readers, but they can't convert these into economic benefits, once there is no economic benefit, the operation of the website will definitely be a problem. After having a good charging model, it is the competition of talents, so let's take this essay to find out.
