Urban Sims

The launch of the "Sea Type One" cargo ship marks another big step forward for Zhou Ming's maritime strategy. The road to endless wealth can be regarded as a solid starting point.

The road of money is going smoothly, and the road of fame, Zhou Ming is also making plans in the days after returning to his hometown in Haiping.

After playing "The Sims" for so long, Zhou Ming has a vague understanding of the essence of fame (prestige).

The so-called name is the synthesis of knowledge, opinions, emotions, senses and other memory information that people have established in their minds about an object or a person.

If a thing or a person occupies a large proportion and weight of memory in people's minds, then it means that the thing or person is more famous.

For example, a disaster (such as a major earthquake) and a great man, even if a long time has passed, will still remain deeply in people's memories (especially the hearts of those who have experienced it). Indelible.

This kind of memory proportion can be divided into ten grades, from 1 to 10, if the data is analyzed according to the reputation value calculation formula of "The Sims".

1 means preliminary, 5 means profound, and 10 means indelible... Therefore, Zhou Ming guessed that in each copy of "The Sims", he can get reputation points on each NPC's head, which is probably between 1 and 10 points. between.

Now that this pattern has been discovered, in any copy, if Zhou Ming wants to increase his popularity, he can find many corresponding methods. As long as he expands his influence, more people will "know" and "understand" him, "worship" and "believe" He has different values ​​of reputation points recorded in his account.

This conversion is roughly: know = 1 point, understand = 2 points, worship = 5 points, belief = 10 points

Therefore, after realizing this, what Zhou Ming needs to do is to let more than tens of millions of people know and understand him, more than a million people to admire and worship him, and more than 100,000 people to be fanatical about him in this copy of "Shengshi Huazhang" Believe in him... As long as he can do these things, the reputation score alone will be enough for him to pass the copy of "The Prosperity Chapter".

In fact, there is a simple and crude method that Zhou Ming can adopt, and that is religion. As long as he pretends to be a magician, creates a religion that confuses people's hearts, brainwashes the believers who join this religion, and develops into a person with MAX faith. "Fanatical believers", as long as the number of such fanatic believers reaches 1 million, he can still get enough points to pass the level.

However, Zhou Ming did not want to use this method and would not use it. On the one hand, it was out of disdain for religion; on the other hand, he wanted to develop millions of fanatic believers in the Great Zhou Kingdom and achieve it quietly. It is almost impossible to make a noise without attracting the attention of the ruling class. The rulers will never take the harm of organizations such as cults lightly, and will eradicate them as soon as they are discovered.

So, back to the beginning of the question, what method should Zhou Ming take to let hundreds of millions of people know about him, understand him, and admire him in this ancient society with backward transportation conditions, slow information exchange, and infrequent population movement? , Believe in him?

Take the upper-class route, become a great poet and writer, and become a superstar idol in the hearts of countless dignitaries and literati?

This road can be taken, but how many dignitaries are there in this world? How many literati are there? Among the nearly 100 million people in the Great Zhou Kingdom, does the total number of these people exceed 100,000? Can you contribute 1 million reputation points?

The answer is obviously no. The system is fair. Even His Majesty the Ming Emperor and the Queen of Heaven from the Great Zhou Kingdom also worship themselves fanatically. These two people can only contribute 20 reputation points at most.

We still have to take the mass line!

If you want to increase your personal reputation as much as possible, you must have a certain degree of popularity among the middle and lower classes of the Zhou Kingdom, which account for more than 95% of the population.

Therefore, Zhou Ming created a plan for each of these two classes.

The first set of plans is mainly aimed at the upper class. Zhou Ming calls it the "Zihua Bookstore" plan.

That is, within the scope of 1877 counties in the 10 states of the Zhou Dynasty, we strive to achieve a total of more than 1,000 literate people within a certain radius in all counties with a population of more than 50,000 and in all cities with a population of more than 20,000 within five to ten years. Every place with 500 people should open a "Zihua Bookstore".

Zihua Bookstore sounds like a bookstore that sells books. What is its main business scope?

Zhou Ming smiled. Zihua Bookstore, in addition to selling boring collections of classics and history, mainly sells "Story Club", "Collected Works of Zihua", and the highlight - "Comics".

"Story Club" specializes in collecting and organizing various folklore stories, short and medium-length novels, as well as some jokes, jokes, etc. It is somewhat similar to the "Reader" magazine in Zhou Ming's world.

"Zihua Collected Works" is a platform for publishing poems, songs, and articles. It has a literary nature. Anyone who thinks their works are good can publish some excellent poems, wonderful articles, etc. on it.

"Comics" is a new thing that has never appeared in this time and space. Although it is only spread in a small area, its popularity still surprises Zhou Ming, but it is reasonable. In that world, comics started from scratch, from niche hobbies to unprecedented prosperity, and developed into cultural products that cannot be replaced by magazines, novels, poems and other cultural contents. It only took 30 to 50 years to derive The rich and colorful two-dimensional culture has established an empire of otaku creatures, which shows how strong and vigorous their vitality is.

In this time and space, Zhou Ming's development of comics career is a bit too advanced and does not conform to the laws of development of things, but so what?

He just advanced a cultural product like "Comics" that would appear sooner or later by hundreds of years. But the earlier it is advanced, the more mature it will be. A few years later, when this world has entered the high technology of television and computers In this era, there are so many comic works as the foundation, and people’s spiritual life will be enriched. I don’t know how much admiration and adoration he, the originator of the comic industry, will gain. Thinking about it, it is an exciting thing. .

As for Zhou Ming's "Zihua Bookstore" plan, which is for the upper class, compared to his "Deyun Society Plan" which is almost entirely for the middle and lower classes, I am afraid that I have to be more conservative and less frivolous. Egg, I don’t know how many times I have to be more serious.

Zhou Ming actually wanted to establish a "Deyun Club" in all major cities with a population of more than 50,000 in the Zhou Kingdom, and build large-scale theatrical performance venues that could accommodate up to 3,000 people... This The boldness of the plan and the absurdity of the idea are jaw-dropping.

Not only that, in this "Deyun Club", Zhou Ming also wanted to gather together all the folk artists from the Zhou Kingdom who were storytellers in restaurants, singing on the streets, or had special talents, and recruited them to " "Deyun Club" has been built into a large-scale cultural performance center integrating storytelling, playing, playing and singing, ventriloquism, juggling, magic and other performances.

Even, according to needs, Deyun Society may add new performance elements such as cross talk, sketches, pop music, opera, etc. in the later stage... Anyway, as long as you can think of it, as long as it can entertain the public, as long as it can enrich Performance projects in people's spiritual life may be included.

The ultimate goal of Zhou Ming's actions is to create an entertainment empire that belongs to him in this time and space, in this prosperous age, and to create an entertainment empire that can influence almost all the general public and earn massive reputation points.

In the room, under the bright whale oil lamp, facing the two plans in front of him, Zhou Ming said to himself:

"Both plans are a bit ambitious. Let's first roll out the 'Zihua Bookstore' plan, which is an upper-level route with lower unit investment costs and easier to implement. It's just a bookstore. As long as the The book supply channel is ready. In any city, it is just a matter of finding a store of thirty to fifty square meters on the commercial street in the city..."

"As for the 'Deyun Society' plan, the unit investment cost is too high, and I don't know if it is operationally feasible. Let's start a pilot in Haiping County. If this pilot is successful, it will mean that it will be rolled out nationwide. , it is possible. Moreover, the urban population of the Great Zhou Kingdom is at most 10 million, and the number of large cities with more than 50,000 people is about 100. In theory, it does not cost much to open a hundred Deyun Clubs. Money……"

Let me explain here. From the perspective of the protagonist who wants to clear the game, it is okay to take the romantic route, but how many people can it affect? How much reputation can I get? The truth is to follow the mass line. Of course, the Deyun Society Plan (please don’t complain about this name, the author really can’t name it) is a bit ridiculous, but it is also reasonable. "Comics", "Story Club", popular The same is true for elements such as music. Only those cultural contents that are widely disseminated can create a wide impact. Small-scale literature and art that are fresh and high-pitched are meaningless. Readers will also complain about the protagonist and know that they copy this and that, and the copy is public. I can’t stand it anymore, I want to give up the book... How can I serve it? Therefore, the author can only stand from the perspective of the protagonist, open up his imagination, and explore the possibility of maximizing income. I hope you will understand and continue to support me. Writing a book is not easy, so I hope you understand and support me! Also, it will be on the shelves tomorrow, and if it says ten updates, it will be ten updates, no lies, so stay tuned!
