Chapter 191 Super Big IP
The creation of a super-large IP is not something a game can do.

Like some super large game IPs on the earth, they are often accumulated over the years with multiple games and other products.

Hanqi needs to create a variety of games and produce a variety of peripheral products including novels, movies, and music.

Of course, it is impossible for Cyberstar's Korean chess to develop for ten or decades like an IP on Earth.

Han Qi didn't have that time.

With the big environment of Cyberstar and the strength of the fire system in Han Qi's body, it is not necessary.

Hanqi will quickly create a super IP.

Han Qi also has the ability to quickly create a super IP.

The new game that Ghost is preparing to release, as the first game under this IP, actually plays the role of testing the waters and exploring the way, and also serves as a foreshadowing role.

Taking advantage of the fact that the new game has not yet started, Han Qi found Astor, a novelist who is quite famous on Cyberstar.

Although Astor is not a traditional great writer, he still has a certain reputation on the Internet.

Importantly, Astor was also a homeless man.

During his long wandering in the wilderness, Astor did not relax his writing skills, and eventually wrote several novels with a clear wanderer style.

Later, Astor became famous and left the Rangers family - it is said that he was very unhappy and was regarded as a traitor to the family.

But Astor himself often talks about the years of the homeless, and clamors to be proud of being a homeless.

And he usually dresses in the style of a wanderer, just like a wanderer author.

Among the novels written by Astor one after another, the themes are very rich.

One of them, "Broken Gun and the Human Prince", tells the story of a human prince rebuilding the empire with his extraordinary courage after the country was destroyed by the orcs.

Sales are good.

Then he wrote two novels with the same world view, "The Roar of the Earth--The Battle of Dwarf King Tuogong" and "Forest Guardian".

Although the three novels are all 20-word novels, they are not considered huge novels.

But the combined sales of the three films have reached millions, and they also have a fixed fan base.

The key is that the popularity of the three fantasy novels overlaps with Han Qi's new game consumer groups.

So Han Qi found Astor on purpose and talked to him about writing a custom novel.

At the beginning, Aster was a little hesitant when he learned that he was writing a novel for Ghost Game.

Because although Astor is not a person in the game circle, after all, there is no distinction between genres and game novels.

Astor also thought that one day his novel would be bought by a polar bear to make a game!
If I cooperated with the ghost and wrote a background novel for the game of the ghost, wouldn't I cut off the way to cooperate with the polar bear in the future?

Astor is not an insider in the game circle, and he doesn't care about this bad thing in the game circle.

But Astor knows who is strong, who is weak, and who is richer!

Astor, the "homeless writer", was reluctant to offend polar bears.

He even planned to reject Han Qi's invitation.

But after Han Qi gave a very sincere offer, Astor changed his mind and asked tentatively: "A novel with a fantasy background, used to create a world view for the new game of Ghost? "

"As we all know, Specter is a very great game studio, and it is an honor to be invited to write a novel for Specter's new game."

"It's just that the damn polar bear is too cruel, I have to be careful."

"I don't know what is the name of the custom novel I need to write? What is the name of Ghost's new game?"

Seeing that things were almost done, Han Qi said with a satisfied smile: "The name of Ghost's new game has not been decided yet."

"The first novel you need to write is not the plot of the game, but another story that happened at the same time as the game."

"Believe me, this story will be very wonderful, and I hope to convey the wonderful story to everyone in the world through Astor's writing."

"And an excellent novel plot can also attract more potential players to pay attention to our new game."

"Win-win for short!"

Astor didn't know whether Han Qi's custom-made novel was really exciting.

Even Astor, who doesn't pay much attention to the game circle, doesn't know how the ghost and polar bear are fighting.

Astor only knew that Mr. Han, who was the ghost, provided a considerable manuscript fee. He could earn 1000 million manuscript fees by writing hundreds of thousands of words according to Han Qi's outline.

Doesn't it smell?

Of course, as a writer with professional ethics, Astor will not just write randomly just because it is a customized text.

After all, Han Qi also said that if the effect is good, there will be a series of follow-up novels, all of which are potential commercial cooperation projects.

At the same time, Astor didn't want to be scolded by readers for choking his money, so he took the advertisement and wrote a piece of rubbish!
So even though he has basically agreed to this matter, Astor still needs to read the general plot of the custom novel first.

Astor doesn't ask how exciting and exciting the plot is, at least it has to be flat to be true, right?
If, in order to do business with ghosts, not only offend the polar bear, but also lead to bad reputation among ordinary readers, then the loss outweighs the gain.

So Astor asked: "I am very interested in cooperation. I really admire Ghost Studios, which can produce so many high-quality games, and I am also very grateful to Mr. Han for offering a sincere price."

"Just what kind of novel do you want me to write? I hope I can read the outline of the story, so that I can feel more confident and bold in doing it."

This time, Han Qi didn't evade the question, but directly took out a stack of documents, on which was the outline of the story written by Han Qi some time ago.

"There are many novels that need to be customized, and we want to write this one first."

Novelist Astor took the document and took a closer look!
"The Destruction of Lordaeron?"

Han Qi nodded with a confident smile: "That's right, it's "The Destruction of Lordaeron"."

"Or called "Warcraft: Destruction of Lordaeron"

"I want to set the game world, a world of Warcraft."

"It's a very huge world. In this world, humans, orcs, elves, undead, trolls and other races compete on the same stage, including alien invasion and space-time travel."

"It can be said that the story of Warcraft is a super-large-scale fantasy epic."

"With such a huge world, it would be more difficult to get into it if written from a macro perspective."

"It's also impossible for me to set the game settings in one go, and shoot all of them to stun the players."

"The IP of Warcraft will continue to release works one after another."

""The Destruction of Lordaeron" is an event in the game world. It is probably how a human kingdom called Lordaeron is about to perish under the invasion of evil forces."

Han Qi continued: "The destruction of a human country is nothing new, but it is easy enough to enter the pit."

"In the future, I will invite you and other authors to create many novels with the same worldview... um." Han Qi paused, "Maybe it's more than just novels?"
