Writing Web Novels In America

"What do you mean?" Wang Jian asked, "will EA directly publish the caricature of arcane God?"

"No, they will subsidize every comic book sold." Dorsey gasped and said, "these expenses are included in the game publicity expenses."

"How much exactly?" Wang Jian asked.

"That's not clear." Rosie scratched her head.

Does the subsidy come into the selling price?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Jian picked up the phone and dialed Tom again.

"Try to make a reservation at the Plaza restaurant."

"Let's have a dinner with EA negotiators tonight to see if we can get some valuable information."

"Plaza restaurant?" Tom replied, "that's only your name. You're the only one among us who is well-known."

Social celebrities?

Wang Jian was stunned at first, and then laughed.

After hanging up.

He saw Dorsey looking at himself with a hopeful face.

Dorothy mumbled for a long time, then asked, "can I go together in the evening? I haven't been to the Plaza restaurant yet. "

"Of course." Wang Jian shrugged and replied.

After Dorothy left the office, Wang Jian stood up and looked at the Empire State Building in the distance for a moment.

To tell you the truth, after becoming a best-selling writer, no longer as embarrassed as when I just crossed over, I once lost my goal.

But after what happened at noon, Wang Jian regained his fighting spirit.

"Ambition, in fact, can be bigger." He said to himself.

……

In the evening, the Square Restaurant www.biqule.info ]Hall.

Wang Jian and DUOXI arrived early.

It's a restaurant with lots of movies and the Plaza Agreement.

The customers who came and went were well-dressed. Wang Jian even saw some people wearing tuxedos

, while suppressing the desire for inner tucking, he pushed aside Jack, who make complaints about himself.

This programmer is so nervous and excited that he can't help himself.

More than ten minutes later, Tom finally came late with EA's negotiator.

They first introduced each other and exchanged greetings for a while.

Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to the reserved seat.

The negotiator was a middle-aged Indian who spoke curry English.

Wang Jian tried hard to listen, only to understand that the other party was complimenting himself.

Young and promising, imaginative and so on.

He responded with a smile and, by the way, made a gesture with his eyes to Tom.

But just as Tom was about to speak, a white man with cool hair stood on the stage and began to speak.

"Today is a special day." He shook his hair and said, "the Plaza restaurant will change its owner."

"Just as no one expected that I would be its owner, I sold it out of your expectation today."

"That's my style, just like one day I might become a commander in chief."

The audience laughed, and the middle-aged people on the stage also said with a smile: "in any case, the Square restaurant will continue to accompany you in the future."

Looking at the men on the stage, Wang Jian always felt a kind of inexplicable familiarity.

So he looked at Tom and asked, "who is this man?"

"A restless billionaire." Tom disdained to answer: "on reality TV, played a supporting role in the film, and even won the golden sour plum award."

"No one likes him. This is a guy who has no lower limit in order to attract attention."

Unexpectedly, Dorsey butted in and said, "I really like this guy."

Have you been eyecatching?

Wang Jian thought about it.

Probably, this is the reason why I feel inexplicably familiar?

Then he shook his head.

Forget it. It's important to get down to business first.

After pouring two bottles of well-known red wine into the Indian's mouth, Tom began to talk the same way.

"I don't know what EA thinks about the game authorization of arcane

"We value arcane a lot."

"Even some major shareholders, after seeing the book, suggested to the chairman that it was not only suitable for adaptation into a game."

"More importantly, its novel setting and explosive degree may make the game version of arcane God a generation classic."

"By then, the first generation, the second generation, the third generation Classic version, reprint version, collection version can sell a good price

"Then why are you so stingy on game licensing fees?"

Tom poured another glass of red wine for the Indian."Because, at present, the most popular one on the market is Diablo. They are preconceived and cause a sensation directly."

"We're not sure if arcane will beat each other."

"But I also heard that EA is interested in buying the comic rights of arcane God?" Wang Jian asked.

"That's to test the popularity of arcane, among comic book fans."

"After all, with market research, most of the major buyers of Diablo are comic book fans."

"Moreover, compared with a high-quality game development, comics are only worth a few dollars. I don't know how many books the publicity department publishes about game background stories every year. "

"But in the end, how many books will be designed as games?"

"That's why you only ask for authorization after the game?" Wang Jian then asked.

Who knows, the Indian looked at Wang Jian with a smile, and then began to change the topic.

He talked about the ceiling of people of color in big companies, which could never be raised again, and so on.

Wang Jian was stunned at first, and then he would smile.

He took out the checkbook and filled in a figure of $10000.

Then he said to Dorsey, "on the upper west side, near the Juilliard conservatory, there's an Indian Casino."

"You go there and exchange these for $100 chips. Then, bring it back. "

Dorothy looked at Wang Jian and asked, "casino, chips?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Go quickly."

"Oh." Dorsey scratched her head, took the check and went out.

"By the way, do you know there's a casino behind the Juilliard conservatory?" Wang Jian asked, "there are a lot of gamblers there. The Indians made a lot of money from that."

"Oh? Behind the Juilliard conservatory? " The Indian asked, "is there on the upper west side?"

"Yes, it's easy to find." Wang Jian said.

Then, instead of talking about this topic, we began to talk about music and art.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Dorsey came back to the restaurant with a square box in his hand.

"It's getting late. Let's break up." Wang Jian said.

"OK, OK." The Indian handed over a napkin and said, "Wang, there is food residue in the corner of your mouth."

"Oh, thank you for the napkin." After that, he walked out of the restaurant with a napkin.

A moment later, the Indian came out with the square box in his hand.

Sitting in Tom's car, Wang Jian spread out his napkin and took a look.

Then he said, "the negotiation with EA is suspended."

"We'll wait until the second volume of Arcane is completely finished before we start the negotiation."

"At that time, we will sell 50% of the comic book copyright and 10 years of exclusive rights to the game."

"Our offer is." Wang Jian looked at the napkin again and said, "900000 dollars."
