Chapter 23 If you want to do it, you will do it best
Thanks to the fact that he was thinking about the plot of "White Album 2 Prologue" all day today, Mo Wangqiu easily said the plot that he had sorted out before, he said it very seriously, and he didn't have the spoof attitude of wanting to do things when he saw Bai Xue before he crossed over.
Ten minutes later, Mo Wangqiu stopped.
Machida Enko sighed sincerely: "It's a very meaningful plot, it's hard to imagine that this is a high school student who came up with it." Sure enough, are all high school students monsters now? ”
After speaking, he glanced thoughtfully at Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
And then ...... It's today's business, I hope that since Mo Jun chose Shi Yu as the script and copywriter for your game, he must know her writing skills. I hope you can get Shiyu to release this story as a light novel first. ”
"Huh?" Mo Wangqiu was a little surprised, this is what they are doing today?
In the industry, games, animation, light novels, and comics are very normal to link with each other, and an excellent work, such as the Hokage in the Sea of Dead Fire, is a behemoth that spans the four major fields. But generally speaking, only popular works can get this kind of treatment. For example, the light animation we see every quarter, the sales volume, and the popularity value are among the best.
Mo Wangqiu didn't understand why she was so interested in the light novelization of "White Album 2 Prologue", although, strictly speaking, the prologue with a doomed ending is said to be a galgame, more like a novel released in the form of a game. Before the time travel, there was indeed a light novel version of "White Album 2 Prologue" shortly after the release of the original game, but that was also when the game received great praise and sales were not low.
And now, in the absence of a shadow of the game, the other party, as a publishing house, is thinking about making the game a light novel, and the order is reversed, right?
"Of course, Mo Jun doesn't have to worry, when we publish it, we will list the names of you and Shiyu from the original author together, for co-creation." Machida Enko threw out her olive branch: "Although the immortal river library is only second-tier in Sakurajima, the channels and influence are still there, and the light novels published by us can not only advertise the game you want to do next, but also let everyone in the industry be the first to see your name, that is, ...... Debut. ”
Debut, for the vast majority of people, it is impossible to refuse.
In the industry, whether it's light novels, comics or whatever, if you want to make a name for yourself outside the colleague market, you still need the help of regular publishers, such as Nozaki Metaro, although it's not the same as he imagined, but he once won the first prize in a monthly magazine, and he made his debut as a girl cartoonist seriously.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that no matter how good your painting is, the plot will be amazing. For example, the painting of "The Spirit of the Halberd", Saeki Jun...... That's the tosh teacher.,Painting style.,There's no big problem with the storyboard.,Before going ashore, I can only be called a book painter.,Homo writers and so on.,It's only after debuting as a painter of "The Spirit of the Halberd",Can you really be crowned as an "orthodox cartoonist".。
Although it's a bit exaggerated to say this.,After all, Mr. Tosh went ashore under a pseudonym.,The two single-sex books he drew were animated without exception.,It's a well-known legend in the sub-world.。 But even so, Mr. Tosh still went ashore and changed his pen name to start drawing "The Spirit of the Halberd", which shows how much temptation it is for an artist to become an "orthodox manga artist".
To get back to the point, even though debut is quite tempting for most writers and cartoonists with dreams, it is actually nothing to Mo Wangqiu.
For him now, instead of being famous in the industry, he wants to bring Bai Xue, who is no longer possible to appear in this world, over, and if he can, make some small money by the way to fill the hole in the small treasury.
"Signatures don't compare." Mo Wangqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he had already plagiarized other people's works so cheekily, and his temperance balance told him that if he signed it again, he would lose something very important.
"Plus, one more thing." Machida Enko did not give up and continued: "Even if you decide to publish a book now, it will take some time to prepare, and it is now September, and even if Shiyu starts writing now, it will not be published until early next year at the earliest. If necessary, we can postpone publication until around comiket and then create a linkage with the game you're making. ”
This proposal, Mo Wangqiu is really moved, reasonable, with his current identity to form a club, and then draw lots to participate in the winter comiket, there are a lot of unexpected factors during the period, and the newcomers who participate in the exhibition for the first time are still high school students, and it is still quite difficult to implement galgame. And with the help of the publishing house, it is different, the publishing house has its own channel relationship, and when they promote the new book, it can also let more people know about the existence of this game, which is the best advertisement.
"Also, you don't have a booth either, do you?" Machida Yuanzi looked at Mo Wangqiu with a smile: "The lottery has ended, and if you want to participate in this winter comike, you can only combine it with some other clubs, which is thankless...... But I can give you an independent booth, although it is not big, but it is enough for a small community with no name. ”
Mo Wangqiu sighed, the conditions offered by Machida Yuanzi were too moving to be decided.
"Okay, I agreed." Mo Wangqiu nodded, then stretched out his right hand.
"Very well, and I have a small condition." Machida Yuanzi nodded her head in satisfaction, stretched out her hand and shook Mo Wangqiu: "After your game is made, I will make a judgment if the quality of the painting is not up to par." ”
"The agreement is null and void."
Mo Wangqiu shrugged, nodded his head indifferently, as a serious publishing house, how much trust can a high school student club give? And under the current general trend,It's impossible for ordinary high school students to complete a high-quality galgame.,Even most of them come with the intention of having fun.,It's normal for Machida Yuanzi to be worried.,It's normal for Machida Yuanzi to be worried.。
But Mo Wangqiu is different, he is the kind of person who will work hard to implement it after making up his mind, for this galgame, he will definitely put in one hundred and twenty points of effort, not to mention that he also found Sun Ze, Nozaki Medaro, Kasumigaoka Shiyu and other talents to help, he is confident to complete this game.
"So happy?" Machida Enko was even more satisfied: "I thought that at your age, I would fight for it." The next winter comiket is in February next year, and I need to check the quality of your game in advance, which means you have about four months to finish it. No problem, right? ”
Mo Wangqiu frowned, to be honest, he didn't have any experience in this area, and he didn't know how long a mature galgame would take to complete, but considering Sun Ze's anti-heaven technique, he felt that at least there would be no problem in terms of program.
And the rest is the original painting, copywriting...... Although the time is a little tight, it is not impossible.
If you want to do it, you have to do it well!
Mo Wangqiu nodded his head and replied seriously: "Yes, I have no problem." ”
Machida Yuanzi smiled happily, took out a document from her bag, and handed it to Mo Wangqiu: "Then sign it." ”
I didn't expect the other party's preparation to be so sufficient, even the contract was ready, Mo Wangqiu took the document, and thought about it seriously, in fact, this document is not complicated, in addition to the benefits promised to Mo Wangqiu by Machida Yuanzi, it is the agreement that Kasumigaoka Shiyu will make the game light novel, and the most important point is that if Mo Wangqiu can't complete the game with a certain quality before the start of the winter comiket, then the agreement will be invalidated, and he can't prevent Kasumigaoka Shiyu from publishing the light novel version of " White Album 2 Prologue.
Old fox.
Mo Wangqiu secretly scolded himself, didn't say much, and happily signed his name.
"Good. Shi Yu, did you hear what you said just now? Hey, don't sleep every time you're in a meeting! Be serious! ”
This Kasumigaoka Shiyu is basically sleeping today, right? Still haven't slept enough?
