Chapter 82: Looking for a famous artist this time

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Jester placed the coffee-soaked bunjiàn one by one on the windowsill and let the sun dry them. Hearing the knock on the door, Jester, who had not completely calmed down his mood, said angrily.

"The door is unlocked."

Then Mark Seni pushed the door open.

The first thing he saw was the paper scattered everywhere on the ground, and then a puzzled look appeared on his face for the first time.

Bending down and picking up a few chapters of manuscript paper, Mark Seni glanced at it with a slow handwriting.

After a brief look, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Jester, who was still a little angry, and said, "What? Not satisfied with the novel? ”

"It's not just dissatisfied!"

Jester was still a little angry, he pointed to the manuscript that was still on the ground and stepped on by him a few times, and it was full of footprints, and scolded angrily, "This writer is simply cheating money!" I have made it clear to him that we will create according to our main plot line, allowing free play, but the theme cannot be changed, but he directly changed this novel to his own novel, and the theme we set was directly abolished. ”

As he spoke, Jester walked over to the manuscripts, bent down to look for them, and picked up one of them.

"Look at it." Handing the manuscript to Mark Saini, Jester said bluntly, "He also explained to me why he changed the main story, because he thought it would be more artistic." ”

Mark Seney took the manuscript paper handed over by Jester, and it was written by the author why he wanted to change the main line.

"The protagonist in me is going to continue to use it in the next part, and he wrote me all to death to sue me that this is artistic?" Jester chattered and scolded, "And the plot I can't tolerate is that after the protagonist's fighter plane crashes, the protagonist's brother thinks his friend is dead, so he can use the excuse of comforting his friend's girlfriend who thinks he is 'dead' and encroach on it, and when his friend returns, he can still take it for granted." ”

Mark Sainey, a native of the United States, actually thinks that there is nothing wrong with this NTR plot, but he doesn't understand why Jester can't accept this kind of plot, but he can't say it directly, after all, this is a game designed by Jester himself from beginning to end, just like his "Avengers", naturally he can't allow others to criticize his work.

But before he could come up with anything to comfort Jester, Jester bluntly pronounced the writer's fate for the novel "Dawn".

"I'm going to change." Jester said categorically this time, he said seriously, "The background of my game is an alternate world of alien life, and it borrows the gimmick of the US-Soviet hegemony, which is to tell the readers, or our players, that the main body of our work is war, it is the struggle for hegemony, and the theme of the work that serves our game must also be war, not some other shit thing." ”

Mark Seni agrees.

"So......" Jester nodded when he saw Mark Saini hear him, and he continued, "it would be like putting the cart before the horse, to write something that the writers of these kinds of books don't care about." ”

"But......" Marc Seni shrugged his shoulders as he listened, and asked with some curiosity, "do you have any other candidates?" ”

"Not yet." Jester sprayed for a long time, and his anger was almost gone, anyway, he decided not to let the author of this young man participate in the writing of his game plot novel, and he couldn't be angry with him anymore, "I'm not very familiar with this aspect, you happen to be here, do you know that this kind of novel is well written?" This time we are not looking for the famous, we are looking for the famous, money is not a problem. ”

"Famous?"

Hearing Jester's words, Mark Seni frowned, he usually likes to read this kind of book, to say that the author is the most suitable for this kind of plot...... He thought about it for dozens of seconds, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he really thought of one.

In fact, this writer has just become famous, and a novel he has just published happens to be the best-selling book selected by the New York Times, and he just bought a copy a few days ago, and he hasn't finished reading it yet, but it is very good-looking, whether it is the plot of the story, or the portrayal of the characters, including the author's prediction of the international situation, as well as the mastery of various military operations and military information, in the eyes of Mark Saini, there is a sense of uncertainty.

also made him a fan of this author completely.

"Wait, I'll get you the book." Mark Seni spoke a little quickly, and then before Jester could reply, he turned and left the room.

Jester was a little strange, he didn't know what Mark Seney meant by 'take the book'.

A minute later, the door to Jester's office was pushed open again, and Mark Seni hurried in with a book in his hand, he walked up to Jester, handed the book to Jester, and said enthusiastically, "How about you read this book?" I think the author of this book is very suitable for this drama novel of yours. ”

Jester glanced down, and the cover of the book was a blood-red background with images of airplanes and submarines, and the title of the book was lower in the middle of the cover.

"The-Hunt-for-Red-October......" Jester whispered the name of the book, he felt that the book was familiar, as if he had heard of it before, and then he glanced at the author's name again, and when he saw the words 'Tom-Clancy', it dawned on him that he knew who the author of the book was.

The name of this book is translated into Chinese as "Hunting Red October", Jester has not read this book, but it does not prevent him from knowing the author of this book, because the author of this book is too famous in the field of military novels, and there are many classics in games with his name as a prefix.

Like "Rainbow Six", "Eagle Strikes the Sky".

When it comes to the game's script, Tom Clancy is a legend.

And, although he hasn't read the book, he's seen the movie based on it.

"Tom Clancy?" Jester knew who Mark Seni was talking about, but he still asked Mark Seni out loud.

Then Mark Seni nodded in affirmation, and he even looked at Jester a little strangely: "You've heard his name too?" Have you read this book as well? ”

"No, I just read a few issues of the newspaper, and it has a very high evaluation of his work...... Do you remember when I went to Chicago? There was a review article in the Chicago Tribune by Stephen Hunter who almost blew the novel into the sky, saying that Tom Clancy had just started a whole new genre of fiction or something. ”

Jester shook his head and explained, he took the copy of "Hunting Red October" handed to him by Mark Seni and flipped through it casually, and looked at a few paragraphs in it, in fact, it was impossible to see what the level of an author was, but Jester, who knew Tom Clancy's level, naturally didn't need to rely on a few glances to judge whether he could write his game plot novel.

There is no doubt about it, because Tom Clancy is indisputably not even one of the best military fiction writers of the next thirty years.

And most importantly, he himself is not averse to participating in the creation of the game.

So, Jester just pretended to read it for ten minutes, then closed the book, and he smiled and said to Mark Saini: "Very good, very professional military novel, I think his style is very suitable for 'Dawn'." After saying that, Jester felt as if he couldn't accurately convey what he meant.

So, he added, "I mean, he's the best person to write Dawn." ”

Then Jester's voice changed, and he asked with some doubts: "Now the question is whether we can convince him to write a drama novel for our game, after all, he is not a well-known writer, he can see money, and I heard that he has his own company, and he writes novels as a hobby, and it is still difficult for us to impress him with money." ”

This time Mark Seni touched his chin, thought for a while, and then smiled, he said: "I don't think it's a big problem, "Hunting Red October" is his first book, although it is a bestseller, he is only a rookie writer now, and he is still a staunch anti-Soviet, the theme of your game is also in the black Soviet Union, which is ideologically agreed with him, as long as we give him greater autonomy to create, and the price is a little higher, I don't think the problem will be very big." ”

"That's good." Jester breathed a sigh of relief, he frowned and thought for a while, and then said to Mark Seni: "Originally, it was most appropriate for me to invite him to participate in the creation, but I will go to the mainland to set up our production factory next, which will take about ten days to half a month, and after I come back, I will rush to the United Kingdom to prepare for the establishment of a European branch, so I can't be separated." ”

Mark Saini listened to Jester's words, and could only nod, he didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "There is no problem with this, the development of "The Avengers" is very smooth, and I have been quite relaxed recently, I will go on your behalf once, but you have to sue me, you can give Tom Clancy a lot of modification rights at most." ”

"This ......"

Jester thought about it, he knew that he wasn't very good at writing plots, and Tom Clancy was a master among them.

So he only thought about it for a moment and made his own decision.

"As long as the background and framework remain the same, all other content can be played by himself, but there are two points, one, the main characters in it can't die, at least not all of them, and second, this must be a military novel."

Mark Seni nodded, signaling that he understood.
