Chapter 317: Yu-Gi-Oh

After Zhao Chen drove out the original manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", he did not immediately hand it over to the publishing house for printing, but handed over the original manuscript to a studio specially established for this purpose.

This studio is specially used by Zhao Chen for revision, mainly to improve the quality of the novel, although there are not many people invited and there are various defects, but they all have the advantage of a gorgeous pen, which is the most suitable for revision.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is the first work in the Harry Potter series, and it is also the first work of Ms. Rowling. However, this is also the most important part of the Harry Potter series, and only this one sells well, which can pave the way for the next few films.

For the sake of sales and quality, Zhao Chen can only use such a method.

Professional cartoonists often have assistants to help, and these assistants serve different purposes, but the main purpose is to save time for cartoonists. And some famous novelists have assistants in this regard, just like cartoonists, but the hard work depends on the novelist himself, if the novelist is lazy, maybe he will only write the outline, and then all the other work will be handed over to the assistant, which is of course the most undisciplined novelist.

However, most novelists will do the original manuscript and outline on their own, and the assistant is mainly used to revise and fill in the gaps, and if the assistant has a distinctive pen, it can also improve the writing of the novel.

And if you have more assistants, you can also set up a studio to divide and work together, and everyone can use what they are best at, and this can make the quality of the manuscript as good as possible.

However, he has a studio that specializes in revision, and there are not many people in this era, which is enough to be regarded as a gorgeous lineup.

The studio set up by Zhao Chen is attached to Tianxia Society, and as long as the contracted novelist of Tianxia Society drives out new works, then he can put the works in the studio for modification first. However, it also has to be charged according to the thickness of the novel.,Of course, this is mainly the novelist's own choice.,Tianxia Society will not force its own novelists.,This can be regarded as a kind of fee welfare.。

Of course, these novel assistants who can enter the studio are not badly treated, but in order to prevent revealing information about the work. Each assistant signs a non-disclosure contract before entering the studio. Not only that, every time you go in and out of the studio, you have to use some special machines to test it to avoid the assistant from stealing and playing tricks, otherwise the cost will be big.

This studio is mainly to improve the quality of works, although the novel industry of Tianxia Society has been established for three or four years, but compared with the comic industry, there is a big gap. At present, if you want to increase the number of novels published in a short period of time, the best thing to do is to need some high-quality works, in addition to attracting famous writers. And the approach of this studio is more or less able to improve the quality of the work. When the time comes, the work will be able to achieve more impressive results.

All in all, according to Zhao Chen's requirements, this studio has very strict requirements for confidentiality, not only can not let the staff in the studio not even take the drafts away, but also are not allowed to go out at some important moments, and now the revision of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is such a moment.

The matter is big, and there is no room for carelessness, this is Zhao Chen's idea. He is very cautious and does not trust others. Otherwise, with his position, if he goes on a business trip, the loss will be quite large.

When "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was handed over to the literary studio for revision, Zhao Chen's journalists and close to Zhao Chen got the news that Zhao Chen was about to publish a novel.

After these journalists got the news, they naturally rushed to the manuscript non-stop, this is Zhao Chen, not some cats and dogs. As long as there are no world problems, this kind of news is enough to make headlines in major newspapers. And how do the salaries of journalists come about, the salary can only be regarded as a small part, and the majority comes from bonuses, and they want to get a good bonus. You have to interview the heavy dà news. And Zhao Chen's novels are undoubtedly the kind of news that he was promoted to a cadre and had a generous bonus.

Reporters are human beings, and people have selfish intentions, so after getting this kind of news, they can't wait to come up with beautiful and gorgeous articles, and the articles are basically singing praises and praising Zhao Chen's and past events.

For Zhao Chen, except for the hostile media and newspapers, the rest of the news media don't have the courage to spray, if they really spray, it will be too offending Who doesn't know that Zhao Chen's fans in the world can at least reach hundreds of millions, so many people, each person can drown you with a mouthful of saliva, not to mention the terrible power that Zhao Chen himself has.

In other words, as long as Zhao Chen doesn't make big mistakes, otherwise these news media will only praise, this is the role of fame, you can't ignore it.

In addition, Zhao Chen also has his own novels, although "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is often limited to Asia, although "2010: A Space Odyssey" was written with Master Clark, and many comics have been adapted into novels and sold well. That is, no matter what, Zhao Chen can still gain a firm foothold in the novel world.

After all, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is only nearly 230,000 words, which is not a lot compared with the millions of online novels in later generations, and with the help of these extraordinary literary workers, it didn't take long for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to be revised and began to be printed.

The revised "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is undoubtedly of better quality, but the plot has not changed, but it will feel exceptionally smooth when you watch it. However, the most important thing for ordinary readers to read a novel is fluency, otherwise if it is a mouthful of words, even if the writing is distinctive, I am afraid that not many readers will read it.

In fact, the so-called writing is mainly determined by the popular distribution of readers, just like in the era of modern online novels, the writing is smooth, and the more entangled, the better, and the representative of this so-called collection of writing is the Central Plains Wubai. That's right, it's the so-called Tang Douchen Red Machine (strictly stated, this is not derogatory, this is derogatory, I'm complimenting) -_-||

Just like when ordinary readers read the works of Zhongyuan Wu Xiaobai, if you ignore the plot, you will find that the text of their works is smooth, there are almost no partial fonts in them, and the length of each sentence is not long, let alone tongue twisters and other problems, and this is smooth, which can make ordinary readers read it in one breath.

Under the bombardment of major media and newspapers. Soon, at least some people in the world knew about it, although most of them didn't pay attention to it, but at least they knew the name of Zhao Chen's work. For Zhao Chen, as long as he is familiar, the possibility of buying the Harry Potter series in the future will undoubtedly increase.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a global distribution and is published by Tianxia and many branches. At present, there are more than 20 branches of Tianxiasha. It is a large multinational enterprise worthy of the name, and the assets can be imagined.

On the first day of the release, the main buying group is naturally Zhao Chen's loyal fans, but even the purchasing power of loyal fans is divided into three, six, nine and so on, most of them are students, and they don't have much pocket money in their hands.

Since they are all printed by Tianxia Society and its subordinate branches, it is undoubtedly much easier to collect the number of jù. And just the first day. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sold more than a million sales.

This first day of sales alone is enough to sink the vast majority of ordinary works, and this is only the first day, and most of the buying group is waiting to get reviews from their friends and family.

As the highest-selling novel series of the future, the quality of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which belongs to Tsukiki, is extraordinary, not to mention that the language in it has become more refined than the original book.

At that time, Rowling, who was not well-known, could make a fortune from "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", with sales of tens of millions, not to mention Zhao Chen, who had world-class fame. The results can be imagined.

This series of novels of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is not low in the media, and those so-called brick family and beast scholars do not dare to openly nitpick. Of course, this may also be for Zhao Chen's sake. If Zhao Chen belongs to a cat and a dog that everyone can deceive, it may be another matter.

With more and more praise, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" began to rise rapidly, and those who were waiting and watching began to make a move, so that the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" continued to rise, and there was not much downward trend for a while. And the sales sent from various branches around the world every day are even more stunning, which is simply a money grab.

However, the basic people who work in Tianxia are talents. The manager of the marketing department of the novel can now be said to be painful and happy, in addition to his daily anxiety, he also gathers reporters every day to announce the latest sales, so that these reporters can help advertise for free.

Journalists are also keen on this. Because "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has become a hot topic recently, and there is also a growing readership, and the group of attention can be imagined, which is simply a guarantee to increase newspaper sales and media ratings, and it can also guarantee the bonus of journalists this month, so why not. All in all, it's a win-win partnership, but neither side will break the relationship.

In less than a week, the total sales of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone exceeded 10 million, and the trend shows no signs of abating, with sales still skyrocketing every day.

However, it was also at this time that a large number of pirated copies of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" appeared around the world, and there was no way, the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were so hot that as long as it was a black-hearted publisher, it would not be missed, especially the piracy rampant on the mainland.

Although in order to protect their own interests, the branches of Tianxiashe in various places continue to crack down on piracy, but there are all kinds of manpower, and there are too many red-eyed, and the director has just suppressed a batch, and there will be a resurgence of another batch, as if the source of the flames is endless.

Although the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" have declined due to piracy, most readers in the world will still subconsciously choose to buy genuine copies, mainly because many readers do not lack this money, and the relationship with pirated paper is relatively poor. After all, there is not much money between genuine books and pirated books, as long as readers who don't particularly care about that amount of money, they will basically support genuine books, after all, who would want to buy a pirated reading, at least psychologically.

When the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" began to decline, Tianxia Society republished "Norwegian Wood". Compared to the original, this version is undoubtedly better. Because Murakami doesn't have to think about the plot at all, he just needs to show his own characteristics.

Although "Norwegian Wood" is far inferior to the Harry Potter series in terms of sales, it is almost the same if it is a single book, because "Norwegian Wood" will also have tens of millions of sales in the future, and it is also a world masterpiece, even after one or two decades, there will still be too few readers who buy it. That's where the classics come in.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Norwegian Wood were two novels that were unrivaled in the book market, and there was simply no other novel in this period that could compare with them. It also made the novel publishing industry of Tianxiasha enter a period of rapid development, and richer and richer writers and newcomers began to contribute to Tianxiashe.

Of course, Kodansha and Shogakukan are the most worried about this situation, and as the first and second publishers in the island country, they naturally feel that Tiantensha's publishing industry is under great threat. Among them, although Kodansha is an ally of Tianxiasha on the surface, it is actually quite jealous of Tianxiasha's achievements in the novel publishing industry during this time, especially what makes Kodansha's senior management frown. Although the outline of "Norwegian Wood" is written by Zhao Chen, it is Murakami Muraki who is the main writer.

For Murakami, they have always paid little attention to Murakami, but now it is different, just this "Norwegian Forest" is enough to make Murakami Muraki initially become a world-class writer, even if Murakami's later works are not good, but the most important thing for a writer is fame, and fame comes out. The sales of the works in the future can be imagined. The current Murakami Muraki can be said to be a mountain of gold, but unfortunately Kodansha let it go.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between Kodansha and Tiantensha has become delicate, and although the alliance is still maintained on the surface, Kodansha has actually begun to compete with each other. Because Tiantensha publishes two novels in a row, it will inevitably take away the share that belongs to other publishing houses, and Kodansha is centered on novel publishing, so it is natural that it attaches great importance to this. Naturally, he didn't want Tianxia Society to be able to threaten its position.

At this time, the Elementary School Hall was unintentionally involved in this matter, and it was really at a critical juncture that the merger of the three major societies had reached. There is no energy to take a step out of the matter at all.

Although there was a turbulent undercurrent between Tianxia Society and Kodansha, Zhao Chen didn't care about this, and after "Dragon Ball" ended, he began to create the next work.

He has always disliked works that are repetitive, and often his own works are often of different types, just to let himself master the style of various types of works. Make yourself progressive.

This time, he still chooses the work that will become famous in the future, that is, the most profitable manga along with "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Pokémon", which is "Yu-Gi-Oh"!

Yu-Gi-Oh is an alternative card comic, and the reason why it has become the most profitable manga is undoubtedly the sale of cards. And the profits from the sale of cards alone are enough to reach tens of billions of dollars.

Zhao Chen had not seen the comic version of "Yu-Gi-Oh" in his previous life, so he used the animated version to do it.

But there's not much difference between the two. In terms of evaluation, anime is higher than manga. In fact, there is not much difference between the two, but because the progress of the manga storyline can't keep up with the halfway point, a large number of plots and characters that are not in the manga are added. This instead laid the groundwork for creating an independent story from the original work.

If you have to say the difference between the two, in addition to the fact that there are more characters in the animation, the other is the rules of card battles. There is no concept of rush magic cards in the comics, any magic card can be activated on the opponent's turn, or it can be said that all magic cards are rush magic spells; Similarly, there is no concept of additional card decks in the comics, and when the fusion summon is performed, the fusion materials are left on the field, and the "merge" becomes a monster, and the monster card area occupied remains the same; There is also no concept of ritual monster cards, which are "conjured" out of thin air after activating ritual magic.

And the key to connecting the entire storyline is the millennium artifact, which are the millennium building block, the millennium eye, the millennium scale, the millennium key, the millennium wisdom wheel, the millennium tin staff and the millennium jewelry. Different millennium artifacts will have different powers, and they will be very human-owned, and will choose their own holders. After acknowledging the holder, the power will be exerted according to the good and evil in the holder's heart. It is also a ritual item in the plot that enables the nameless pharaoh to retrieve his lost memory.

Among them, the protagonist Muto Games has a millennium brick, which was discovered by Muto Games' grandfather, Muto Shuangroku, when he was young, during archaeological archaeology in Egypt, and was later given to Muto Games. It took Muto Games a lot of time to finally assemble it, thus releasing the soul of the pharaoh in the thousand-year-old cone, and unfolding the story of the two from the bottom.

The completed Millennium Cone allows the two to exchange souls, and when Muto Game swaps identities with Pharaoh Dark Game, he stays in the Millennium Brick. At the same time, as long as consciousness allows, there is freedom to engage in conscious exchanges and dialogues and encourage each other.

The Millennium Block is a labyrinth of the souls of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, and its function is to produce the dual character of light and darkness, containing the memories of the pharaohs, and it is also the item worn by the pharaohs thousands of years ago.

However, this game is most famous for its variety of cards, which undoubtedly enriches the rules and playability of the game, which leads to the main reason for the card craze in the history of "Yu-Gi-Oh".

However, there are also a lot of rules for the battle between cards, at the beginning, the initial LP of both sides is 4000 points each, and the number of card decks is fixed at 40 cards, of which the monster is guarded by the side of the table to represent the summoning, and each round can only be activated or covered at most one magic card and one trap card. And the fusion monster can't attack immediately in the summoned turn.,That's basically these differences.,But I have to say that it's a talent who does the "Yu-Gi-Oh" animation.,Because this has increased significantly.

Card playability.

After Zhao Chen created the first issue of "Yu-Gi-Oh", it began to be published. (To be continued......)
