v2 Chapter 211: IReader Novel Site

With Henry's approval, Capcom Co., Ltd. decided to transplant "Street Fighter 2" to home game consoles!

Henry does not think that only one "Street Fighter 2" can influence the situation of Nintendo and Sega, if so, it is better to follow the trend! Nintendo’s game console platform will have an absolute monopoly in the next few years!

There are many users who buy game consoles. Naturally, the games on the console platform are also sold! ! !

In the previous life, only one "Street Fighter 2" can sell more than six to seven million copies of the game on the platform! The next four or five sequels will also be logged on the console platform one after another, and sales are also good! ! !

Relying on, Capcom Co., Ltd. will make a lot of money!

There is no doubt that between Nintendo and Sega, Henry's choice is the former! Therefore, Henry then called the president of Capcom Corporation and told him his decision!

After hanging up the phone, Henry suddenly thought that Capcom's brilliance in the arcade field would stop at the "Street Fighter 2" series, and then nothing else. Later, Capcom, who was unable to mix in the arcade field, was forced to switch to a TV game. He never thought that the first masterpiece "Resident Evil" was an unprecedented success! In the past, Sony’s PS1 was able to counterattack Nintendo, and "Resident Evil" played a role in it. It can be said to be a great contribution! ! !

Umbrella, Skynet, T virus... Henry was a little excited just thinking about it. It’s just that, don’t worry, your own game console development project hasn’t started yet! What needs to be considered at present is how to make Capcom more brilliant after "Street Fighter 2"!

Henry pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowed in vain, and a gleam of light flashed.

"Yes!!!"

Henry hurriedly took out a stack of white paper, spread it on the desk, and then took up a pencil to sketch and paint!

He first drew a woman, a **** enchanting woman. If someone who knows her sees it, they will blurt out her name!

She is Mai Shiranui! ! ! Big breasts, sexy, coquettish, long legs...

Mai Shiranui is a character in the "Legend of Hungry Wolf 2" launched by SNK Co., Ltd. in 1993, and then shines in the "King of Fighters" series, becoming the most popular female hero and the dream of countless otaku players. Object!

Of course, it is impossible for Henry to paint just one character.

He went on to drew more than a dozen figures such as Kusujikyo, Yashinan, Daimon Goro, Nikaidō Hongmaru (Denjin), and so on.

Henry's sketching skills are not bad, and his drawings are in seven to eight parts.

After finishing the painting, Henry only felt his hands were a little sore, and when he looked at the time, it actually took an hour and a half! Henry stood up, opened his hands, moved his body, and thought to himself that he could let Capcom develop the King of Fighters series first! This will be a brand new "King of Fighters" that belongs to Capcom, which is completely different from the previous life. All the characters in it will be Capcom's historical game characters plus these characters designed by himself!

Chunli vs. Shiranui Mai!

KEN vs. Cao Zhijing!

Long vs. Yashinan!

The brand new "King of Fighters", brand new gameplay, not the most shocking, only more shocking! ! !

After resting for a while, Henry returned to the desk, picked up a pen and named each character, and then simply wrote down the main skills of these characters. After completion, he called the secretary and asked her to fax it to Capcom Co., Ltd., and ordered them to design these characters again, and at the same time, set up a new game development department-"King of Fighters"! ! !

The sequel to "Street Fighter 2" will continue to be developed. Taking advantage of the "Street Fighter 2" to be on fire, six or seven sequels will be developed within a year. Henry feels that it is okay. Although he is a little bit frenzied, he can do it through a hat trick. Just make money! ! !

In fact, Karp has developed such a crazy sequel to make money in an unprecedented life. At the beginning, the speed of making money was simply jealous. It's just that Capcom has no restraint, thinking that one trick can be eaten all over the world, and then he has not developed new works. For several years, he has been developing sequels around "Street Fighter 2"!

No matter how good the game is, you should get tired of it after a few years! ! !

On the other hand, "Street Fighter 2" followed the trend of numerous works, extremely serious, the market gradually became saturated, as a result, Capcom's game finally can not sell!

This is a typical example of being born in sorrow and dying in happiness!

Henry only intends to let Capcom take advantage of the "Street Fighter 2" fire, first make more than a year of money, then launch the "King of Fighters", and finally "Resident Evil"!

The value of the IP of "The King of Fighters" is very high. Games, animation, movies, and peripheral revenues are at least several billion dollars! Picking a few characters in to join other games can also drive sales by virtue of their fame!

Pure game, the pattern is small.

Doing IP is awesome!

Marvel heroes can make movies. In fact, the game characters in the King of Fighters can also do it. Wouldn't they be superpowers? !

If the King of Fighters character is added to the movie according to the model of Hollywood blockbusters, it is still very interesting!

...

...

When Henry returned home at night, he began to write "Resident Evil" novels. In the past life, the official novel of "Resident Evil" was fine, but not classic enough! Henry felt that he had to write a classic work!

Henry has an extraordinary talent, memory, and talent in this life. Over the years, he has read ten times more than ordinary people! In addition, I have read a lot of "Resident Evil" fan fiction in the past life, learn from the best of others, and choose the essence of it. It is not difficult to write a "Resident Evil" novel that surpasses the official previous life! ! !

Henry is very confident about this. When writing, the words are full of words, and the codewords are fast!

The crackling keyboard sound is endless!

And that hand speed is amazing, dazzling! ! !

In a moment, a chapter is ready.

"Next to the code, write 20,000 words tonight!" Henry took a sip of the juice and put the glass aside.

Henry wrote that by 10 o'clock in the evening, he washed and went to bed.

The next day, he came to West German Publishing House, ready to let West German Publishing House set up a novel website!

When Edward Qiao heard Henry's words, he was surprised and said: "Chairman, what do you mean is that you want West German Publishing House to set up a website where you can browse novels on the Internet?"

"Well, that's it!" Henry nodded.

Edward Joe frowned and set up a novel website so that others can read books online, and how to sell physical books offline! ! !

"Chairman, this is not right!" Edward bluntly said to Henry, "People read on the Internet that the sales of physical books will inevitably be affected! Therefore, I think that a novel website should not be established!!!"

"You're right, the establishment of a novel website will indeed impact the sales of physical books! But..." Henry thought for a while and said, "Well, you can set up a novel website first and put some unsold books on it. Try the effect!"

"The novel website we are going to build is not a free novel reading website, but a paid website! Novel chapters are divided into public chapters and chapters, and chapters are paid chapters. Each time the user reads a chapter, a fee is charged according to the number of words in the chapter. Cents!!!"

After hearing Henry's words, Edward was immediately taken aback, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Charge?!"

"Yes, there is a fee!" Henry nodded to him, and then slowly said, "In the United States, the price of books is very high, and most people rarely spend money on books! You know, if you spend dozens of dollars on a book at once, you will It hurts a lot of people. However, if you read a thousand words for just one cent, if you read one hundred thousand words, the total is only one dollar! I think there will be many people willing to read online! Online reading certainly has an impact on physical books, but There are definitely more people reading books online than buying physical books. If you want to come, you won’t make less money!"

"In addition...because of the different audiences, some people don't like to go online. Therefore, we can also sell physical books offline. And some people read novels online and think they are well written, and they may also buy physical books for collection. ! I guess that such people are not a minority! Therefore, in combination, I think it is a good choice to build a novel website!"

After hearing Henry's words ~lightnovelpub.net~, Edward seemed to have some truth, but he couldn't be too sure. He couldn't help thinking, then according to the chairman's statement, first put some books that are no longer available for sale on the Internet. If the effect is good, promote it again...

Because West German Publishing House also pays the author's manuscript fee, it is necessary to communicate with the author of the work if the book is placed on the Internet for online reading. Henry directly talked to Edward about two types of contracts. One is to share and charge, and the author can charge half; the other is to buy out. After the website pays to buy out, any income on the network has nothing to do with the author!

In these two contracts, publishing rights, film and television adaptation rights, etc., can be subdivided into many types. However, if a full copyright agreement is signed, then the recommended resources of the website will be biased towards such works! ! !

After listening to Henry's instructions, Edward went to busy setting up a novel website. The name of the website, Henry has already thought of it, is called "IReader Novel Site"!

West German Publishing House, because of its own conditions, can be said to have a great advantage in establishing a novel website. Not only does it have novels under its banner, but also has a wide network of people in the circle, which can attract many writers to the IReader novel website, so the IReader novel website has a very high start from the beginning!
