Urban Sims

Chapter 106 Entertainment Empire
The launch of the "Sea Transport Type [-]" cargo ship marked Zhou Ming's maritime strategy, and a big step forward. The road to endless wealth can be regarded as a solid foundation.

The road of money has gone smoothly, and Zhou Ming is also planning for the road of name these days after returning to his hometown in Haiping.

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

The so-called name is a synthesis of memory information such as cognitions, opinions, emotions and senses that people build in their minds about a thing or a person.

If a thing or a person occupies a large proportion 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), a great man, even if time has passed for a long time, in people's hearts (especially those who have experienced it), the disaster or this great man will still be deeply in people's memory, Indelible.

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

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

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

This conversion is roughly: knowing = 1 point, understanding = 2 points, worship = 5 points, faith = 10 points

So, realizing this, what Zhou Ming needs to do is to let more than ten million people know and understand him, more than one million people admire and worship him, and more than one hundred thousand people are fanatical Believe in him... As long as he can do these things, the copy of "Sheng Shi Hua Zhang", the score of prestige alone, is enough for him to pass the copy.

In fact, there is another simple and crude method that Zhou Ming can adopt, that is religion, as long as he pretends to be a magic stick, establishes a demagogic religion, brainwashes the believers who join this religion, and develops into a "maximum belief" Fanatics", as long as the number of such fanatics reaches 100 million, he can also score enough to clear the level.

However, Zhou Ming didn't want to use this method, and he didn't know how to use it. On the one hand, it was out of disdain for things like religion; 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.

So, back to the beginning of the question, what method should Zhou Ming adopt to let hundreds of millions of people know him, understand him, and worship him in this ancient society with backward transportation conditions, slow information exchange, and infrequent population movements? , Believe in him?
Take the upper-level route, become a great poet, a great writer, and become a superstar idol in the hearts of countless dignitaries and literati?

This path can be taken, but how many dignitaries are there in this world?How many literati are there?Among the nearly 100 million population of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the total number of these people does not exceed [-]?Can you contribute [-] million reputation points?

The answer is obviously no, the system is fair, even if His Majesty the Emperor Ming and Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Kingdom fanatically worshiped him, these two could contribute at most 20 reputation points.

Or take the mass line!

If you want to increase your personal prestige as much as possible, you must have a certain popularity among the middle and lower classes of the Great Zhou Kingdom, which accounts 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, and Zhou Ming calls it the "Zihua Bookstore" plan.

That is, within the range of 10 counties and 355 counties in the 1877 prefectures of the Great Zhou Kingdom, within five to ten years, in all counties with a population of more than 5, and in all cities with a population of more than 2, within a certain radius, the total number of literate people exceeds Every place with 500 people will open a "Zihua Bookstore".

Zihua Bookstore sounds like a bookstore selling books. What is its main business scope?
Zhou Ming smiled, Zihua Bookstore, in addition to selling those boring collections of classics and history, the main business is "Story Club", "Zihua Anthology", and the highlight - "Manga".

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

"Zihua Anthology" is a platform for publishing poems, poems, articles and strategies, with a literary nature. Anyone who thinks their works are good can publish some excellent poems and wonderful articles on it.

"Manga" 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 surprised Zhou Ming, but it is also reasonable. In that world, comics have grown from nothing, from a niche hobby to unprecedented prosperity, and developed into cultural products that cannot be replaced by magazines, novels, poems, etc. It only took three to fifty years to generate rich The colorful Two-dimensional culture has established an empire of nerd creatures, which shows how strong its vitality is.

In this time and space, Zhou Ming's development of comics business is a bit too advanced and does not conform to the law of development of things, but so what?
He just brought "Comics" a cultural product that would appear sooner or later by hundreds of years, but the earlier it is, the more mature it will be. After a few years, when this world enters the high-tech of TV and computer In this era, there are so many comic works, people's spiritual life, I don't know how much it will be enriched, and he, the originator of the comic industry, doesn't know how much he will gain the admiration and admiration of otaku creatures. Thinking about it, it is an exciting thing .

However, Zhou Ming's "Zihua Bookstore" plan, which takes the upper-level route, is probably more conservative than his "Deyun Society plan" that is almost completely in the middle and lower levels. Egg, I don't know how many times I have to be serious.

Zhou Ming actually wanted to build a "Deyun Society" in all the big cities with a population of more than 5 in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and build a large-scale theatrical performance venue that can accommodate at most 3000 people... The boldness of the plan and the absurdity of the assumptions are jaw-dropping.

Not only that, but in this "Deyun Society", Zhou Ming also wants to gather all the folk artists of the Great Zhou Kingdom who either tell stories in restaurants, sing on the streets, or have special talents, and recruit them to the "Deyun Club". In the "Deyun Club", a large-scale cultural performance center integrating storytelling and storytelling, playing and singing, ventriloquist skills, juggling and magic and other performances is integrated.

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

And Zhou Ming's ultimate goal in doing this is to create an entertainment empire that belongs to him in this time and space, in this prosperous age, 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 proposals in front of him, Zhou Ming said to himself:

"The two plans are a bit big. Let's first spread the "Zihua Bookstore" plan that takes the upper-level route, has a lower unit investment cost, and is easier to realize. It's just a bookstore. The book supply channel is ready, in any city, you just need to find a store of [-] to [-] 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 feasible to operate. Let's start a pilot in Haiping County first. If this pilot is a big success, it means that it will be rolled out to the whole country. , it is possible, besides, the urban population of the Great Zhou Kingdom is at most ten million, and in big cities with more than 5 people, there are at most about one hundred, and opening one hundred Deyun clubs, theoretically, it does not cost too much Money……"

　Here I want to explain, from the perspective of the protagonist who wants to pass the game, it is possible to take the upper-level romantic route, but how many people can it affect?How much reputation can you get?Taking the mass line is the truth. Of course, the Deyun Society plan (please don’t complain about the name, the author really doesn’t know how to name it) is a bit ridiculous, but it is also reasonable. "Manga", "Story Club", popular The same is true for elements such as music. Only those cultural contents that are widely disseminated can create a wide range of influences. It is meaningless for small-scale literature and art to be fresh and high-level. I can't read it anymore, I want to abandon the book...how can I serve you?Therefore, the author, Jun, can only stand in the perspective of the protagonist, open his mind, and explore the possibility of maximizing benefits. I hope you will understand and continue to support. Writing a book is not easy. I hope you understand and support it!Also, it will be on the shelves tomorrow, if you say ten more, it will be ten more, never fool around, so stay tuned!
