Chapter 249 Physical Novel Ideas

Bai Yang thought for a moment before replying:
“I haven’t decided on the overall art style yet. After all, this project is still in its early stages.”

"Teacher Meng Jia, please proceed with the style of the current draft."

He did not respond to Teacher Meng Jia's temptation.

The main thing is that he is not in a hurry about the art planning. After all, he hasn't even written his own game plan yet, and he can slowly look for a team. At least in his opinion, Teacher Meng Jia is definitely not the best choice.

Moreover, he was a little confused. As the daily person in charge of the studio and a sketching teacher, Mr. Meng Jia should have a good income, right?

Why would you want to get involved in your own project?
Don’t say that because the game is so good, Bai Yang only provided character information and didn’t even mention what type of game it is.

After ending the conversation with Teacher Meng Jia, Bai Yang switched to his own QQ account.

Editor Lan Zhou happened to send me a message:
"Good news."

"When the manuscript fee is issued next month, the copyright fee should be settled to you together."

Bai Yang suddenly perked up: "The copyright has been sold? How much?"

Editor Lan Zhou: “You can take a guess.”

Bai Yang: "Last time they said the operation was trying to negotiate for 5 million. It seems they succeeded?"

Editor Lan Zhou: "Not only was it successful, but the amount was also raised."

"Six million!"

Bai Yang took a deep breath and couldn't help but smile: "Awesome!"

"The main reason is that after your novel was completed, its reputation has risen to a new level. There are many discussions about the weird world on many forums outside the site. The copyright holder believes that your IP has the potential to become popular beyond the circle."

"Moreover, the physical book is selling very well. The first edition of 100,000 copies has been sold out. The publisher has already started printing more copies and is selling the second volume at the same time. The copyright holder will definitely consider the potential in this area."

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment.

100,000 physical copies have already been sold out? Is it so popular?

Wouldn't that mean I could earn some money from the copyright of the physical book?
This is a double blessing. Now, there should be no shortage of funds needed for game development.

Editor Lan Zhou: "Congratulations, Niu Rou Ju, you can be considered a god with just one book."

"Speaking of which, at last week's morning meeting, the editorial department was discussing changing your contract. It's a pity that your book is too short, otherwise you could have directly changed it to a great contract."

"However, as long as the next book is of a decent standard, a great writer contract is a foregone conclusion. Even if I can write another book of similar quality, a platinum contract is possible."

He said, "So, I wonder if Niu Rou Ju has any ideas for the next book?"

poplar:"."

"I'm thinking about it."

Although the platinum from the great writers is very tempting, I really don’t want to continue writing online novels!

The weird world does make a lot of money, but half of it belongs to others, and I have no control over the copyright. Since I have already passed the initial stage of making the first pot of gold, why should I torture myself anymore?
but--

Bai Yang took a look at the planning document on the computer and felt a slight movement in his heart.

I definitely won’t write online articles anymore, but there’s no need to completely give up writing novels.

After all, the game itself also needs a world view, and so many characters in it need a reasonable origin. Moreover, if there is an IP origin, it will also be beneficial for the promotion of the game itself.

“However, if you want to use novels as an IP carrier, you have to think carefully about it.”

Bai Yang stroked his chin, "There's still enough time. After all, the game will be ready next year at the latest. Also, if I don't use the online literature platform, I'll have more time and there's no need to update every day."

Before, Bai Yang would never have considered this aspect, but if the physical book channel of Weird World is popular, it can be regarded as opening up a channel for himself, and there is really a possibility of directly publishing physical books.

Moreover, in this era, the physical book industry has not yet come to an end. It is a time when all kinds of bestsellers are hot. For example, the works of Guo Jingming and Han Han are the best-selling ones. Not to mention The Dragon Tribe of Jiangnan. When the third part was released, it almost became the regret of a generation. Of course, he can also make a fortune by selling razor blades.

"This idea is actually feasible. I can earn money from the novel itself while using the fame of the novel to promote the game. The game can also boost the copyright value of the novel. Most importantly, if I publish the book in physical form, the copyright will be in my hands."

“The key is what kind of novel to write.”

"The world view must be grand, and the extraordinary system must be rigorous and diverse, so that it can fit the various fetters of the game." "Of course, there must be many different types of characters and monsters, as well as various forces and so on."

This is not an easy matter. Bai Yang is very clear that the premise of all this is that the novel must be exciting, even more exciting than the Weird World. Otherwise, not only will it be useless for the game, but it will also be embarrassing if only a few copies of the physical book are sold.

"Fortunately, I should be able to find some inspiration from books that haven't been published yet."

Thinking of this, Bai Yang smiled bitterly: "I really know how to make trouble for myself. I just feel a little relieved."

He could only comfort himself this way: "As the saying goes, if you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old. The hard work now is for a better enjoyment of life in the future!"

"I've finally been reborn, I can't waste this opportunity."

"Otherwise, I don't even have the confidence to face many things. If I still leave regrets for myself after rebirth, it would be too tragic."

The subtle low mood that Chun Yuwan had felt in the past few days flashed through Bai Yang's mind. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and threw himself into his busy work.

It's the weekend in a blink of an eye.

If Zeng Jianeng hadn't reminded him, Bai Yang would have almost forgotten about his promise to go watch the show.

Bai Yang came out of the dormitory rubbing his temple. Seeing the three people standing next to Jiu Yue, he raised his hand and greeted them.

"Why do you seem so depressed?" Zeng Jianeng looked Bai Yang up and down and said, "It's like you were just dug out of the ground."

"Are you too tired?" Chun Yuwan looked at him with some concern, and asked, "Bai Yang, you have been staying in the dormitory these days except for painting. What are you busy with?"

"Busy creating a better future." Bai Yang sighed.

"If you keep busy like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to see a bright future." Zeng Jianeng rolled his eyes: "Bai Yang, I really wonder if you were a workaholic in your previous life. You did all kinds of things in school, painting, writing novels, and even found time to organize art performances, and your grades were even among the best."

"It's even worse since the training camp. Look at your dark circles!"

"Do you understand the principle of combining work and rest?"

Bai Yang smiled and said, "It's just that I will be more tired during this period."

"Besides, I'm here to relax. I'm going to have a great time with you all today!"

Then he looked at Duan Yiqing and said jokingly, "Boss Duan spent a lot of money today."

Duan Yiqing was wearing the same clothes today as when they first met. She had a Nezha hairstyle and her small face was bare of makeup. She looked both mature and childish at the same time, which did not seem out of place but instead added to her unique charm.

"I wanted to go to the show, so of course it's my treat," she said. "After all, it's more fun to go to a show with friends!"

"So, we have to thank the great writer for taking the time out of his busy schedule."

Bai Yang laughed and said, "You are pointing at me."

The two of them didn't chat much normally, but because they both had cheerful personalities, the conversation wasn't awkward at all. The four of them got in the car, and along the way it was basically Duan Yiqing who took the initiative to find topics to chat with Bai Yang, Zeng Jianeng would occasionally interject, and Chun Yuwan, as always, quietly looked out the window.

It was almost evening when they arrived after almost two hours' drive. The four of them ate something quickly and came to the entrance of LIVEHOUSE.

Zeng Jianeng looked inside curiously and said, "This is my first time in a place like this. Why does it look like a bar?"

"I heard they sell alcohol there too." Duan Yiqing said.

"I heard?" Bai Yang glanced at her and said, "Isn't this your first time here too?"

Duan Yiqing raised her chin: "I've already been here in the video on the Internet!"

"Then my videos on the Internet have traveled around the world." Bai Yang smiled and shook his head: "It turns out that I am the only one who has been to the LIVEHOUSE."

Chun Yuwan didn't need to ask, she was not interested in this kind of thing.

"It shouldn't be too messy in there, right?" Zeng Jianeng looked at the people coming in and out. Most of them were young people. Some of them had exaggerated clothing and hairstyles. There were even young men with smoky makeup and faces as pale as ghosts.

"Rather than chaos, let's say it's more exciting." Bai Yang said with a smile, "Actually, LIVEHOUSE is a small concert. Many bands don't have enough fans to perform in large venues, so they choose this kind of venue to perform. Of course, not every day there are performances by famous bands. Often, LIVEHOUSE will give some fledgling bands and even campus bands the opportunity to perform."

He looked at the doorplate and said, "This one is quite famous. Many famous bands have performed here."

Of course, some of them are not famous yet.
