Game Development Giant

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Jester placed the papers wet with coffee one by one on the windowsill and let the sun dry them. Hearing the knock on the door, Jester, who had not completely calmed down his mood, said angrily.

The door is unlocked.

Then Mark Saini pushed open the door and walked in.

At first glance, he saw manuscript papers scattered everywhere on the ground, and then, a look of doubt appeared on his face for the first time.

Bending down and picking up a few chapters of manuscript paper, Mark Saini glanced at it and wrote slowly on it.

After a brief glance, a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Jester who was still a little angry and said, What? Are you not satisfied with the novel?

More than dissatisfied!

Jester was still a little angry. He pointed at the manuscript that was still on the ground and was stepped on several times by him. It was covered with footprints and cursed angrily, This writer is simply cheating money! I have already told him He made it clear that the creation should be based on our main plot line, allowing free play, but the theme cannot be changed, but he directly changed this novel into his own novel and directly scrapped the theme we set. ”

As he spoke, Jester walked to the manuscripts again, bent down to look for them, and picked up one of them.

Take a look. Handing the manuscript to Mark Saini, Jester said bluntly, He also explained to me why he wanted to change the main line, because he felt that writing this way would make it more interesting. artistry.

Mark Saini took the manuscript paper handed over by Jester. On it was the author's reason why he wanted to revise the main plot.

The main character in my movie is going to be used in the next movie, but he wrote it all to death and told me it's artistic? Jester kept scolding, And the only plot I can't tolerate is the one of the main character in it. After the protagonist's fighter plane crashed, the protagonist's brother thought that his friend was dead, so he could use the excuse of comforting the girlfriend of his friend who he thought was 'dead' to occupy it, and wait for his friend to return. After that, he can still take it for granted that this is what he should do.”

Mark Saini, a native American, actually thinks there is nothing wrong with this NTR plot. Instead, he doesn’t understand why Jester can’t accept this plot, but he can’t say it directly. After all, this is Jester’s own story. The game he designed in the end was just like his Avengers. Naturally, he couldn't allow others to dictate his work.

But before he could think of anything to say to comfort Jester, Jester bluntly pronounced the writer's fate for the novel Dawn.

I want to replace someone. Jester said firmly this time, he said seriously, The background of my game is an imaginary world with alien life, and it borrows the gimmick of the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony. It is to tell the readers, or our players, that the main theme of our work is war and the struggle for hegemony, and the theme of the work that serves our game must also be war, not other bullshit.

Mark Saini agrees with this.

So... Jester saw Mark Saini nodded after listening to his words, so he continued, It seems that this writer is not writing good war plots, but is writing some books that focus on this kind of thing. It’s a bloody emotional drama that readers don’t care about at all, it’s simply putting the cart before the horse.”

But... Mark Saini shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, and asked curiously, Do you have other candidates?

Not yet. Jester complained for a long time, and his anger was almost gone. Anyway, he decided not to let this young literary author participate in the writing of his game plot novels, and there was no need to be angry with him anymore, I'm sorry for this. I’m not very familiar with it, but you happen to be here. Do you know that this kind of novel is good? This time we are not looking for unknown people, we are looking for famous ones, money is not an issue.”

Celebrity?

Hearing Jester's words, Mark Saini frowned. He usually really likes to read this kind of books. When it comes to the author who is most suitable for this kind of plot... He thought for dozens of seconds, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. He really thought of one.

In fact, this writer has just become famous. A novel he just published happens to be the best-selling book selected by the New York Times in these issues. He just bought a copy a few days ago and has not finished reading it yet, but it is very interesting. It's good-looking. Whether it's the plot of the story or the characterization of the characters, including the author's prediction of the international situation, as well as various military operations and mastery of military information, in Mark Saini's eyes, there is something unclear and serious. a feeling of.

It also made him a complete fan of this author.

Wait a minute, I'll get you a book. Mark Saini said a little faster, and then turned and left the room without waiting for Jester's answer.

Jester was a little strange. He didn't know what Mark Saini meant by 'get a book'.

A minute later, the door to Jester's office was pushed open again, and Mark Saney hurried in with a book in his hand. He walked up to Jester and handed the book to Jester. Then he said with enthusiasm, What do you think of this book? I think the author of this book is very suitable for your plot novel.

Jester glanced down. The cover of the book had a blood-red background with images of airplanes and submarines, and the title of the book was in the lower middle of the cover. \u003cober... Jester read out the name of the book in a low voice. He felt that the book was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard of it before. Then he glanced at the author's name again, and when he saw the 'y ' When he saw the words ', it suddenly dawned on him that he knew who the author of this book was.

The name of this book is translated into Chinese as The Hunt for Red October. Jester has not read this book, but it does not prevent him from knowing the author of this book, because the author of this book is in the field of military novels. He is really too famous, and there are many classic games with his name as a prefix.

Like Rainbow Six and Eagle Attack.

When it comes to game scripts, Tom Clancy is a true legend.

Moreover, although he has not read the book, he has seen the movie adapted from the book.

Tom Clancy? Although Jester knew who Mark Saini was talking about, he still asked Mark Saini.

Then Mark Saini nodded very definitely. He even looked at Jester strangely: Have you heard of his name? Have you read this book?

No, I just read a few issues of the newspaper, which spoke very highly of his work... Do you remember that I went to Chicago before? There was an article by Stephen Hunter in one issue of the Chicago Tribune. In the review article, he almost praised the novel to the sky, saying that Tom Clancy directly created a new genre of novels and so on.

Jester shook his head and explained. He took the book The Hunt for Red October handed to him by Mark Saini and flipped through it casually. He glanced at a few paragraphs in it. In fact, this is the fundamental reason. It's hard to tell what an author's level is, but Jester, who knows Tom Clancy's level, naturally doesn't need to rely on a few glances to judge whether he can write his game plot novel well.

There is no doubt about it, because Tom Clancy is indisputably, not even one of the best writers of military fiction of the next thirty years.

And most importantly, he himself has no objection to participating in the creation of games.

Therefore, Jester just pretended to read it for ten minutes before closing the book. He smiled and said to Mark Saini: It's a very good, very professional military novel. I think his style is very suitable for Dawn. After finishing speaking, Jester felt that he still couldn't express what he meant accurately.

So he added: I mean, he's the perfect person to write Dawn.

Then Jester's voice changed and he asked with some confusion: The question now is whether we can convince him to write a plot novel for our game. After all, he is not an unknown writer who can see money. And I heard that he has his own company, and writing novels is just a hobby, so it’s still difficult for us to impress him with money.”

This time Mark Saini touched his chin, thought for a while, and then smiled. He said: I don't think the problem is big. The Hunt for Red October is his first book. Although it is a best-seller, He is just a new writer now, and he is also a staunch anti-Soviet element. The theme of your game is also in the Black Soviet Union. This agrees with him ideologically. As long as we give him greater autonomy. If the price is higher for the rights to create creative works, I don’t think the problem will be big.”

That's good. Jester breathed a sigh of relief. He frowned and thought for a while, then said to Mark Saini: Originally, it would be most appropriate for me to invite him to participate in the creation, but next I will go to the mainland to form our company. It takes about ten days to half a month to set up a production factory. After I come back, I have to rush to the UK to prepare for the establishment of a European branch, so I can't be separated.

After listening to Jester's words, Mark Seney could only nod his head. He did not hesitate at all and said directly: There is no problem with this. The development of Avengers is going very smoothly. I have been quite relaxed recently. I I'll go there once for you, but you have to tell me the maximum amount of modification power you can give Tom Clancy.

this……

Jester thought for a moment, and he knew that his ability to write plots was not very strong, but Tom Clancy was a master.

So he just thought briefly and made his own decision.

As long as the background and framework remain unchanged, all other contents can be left to his own devices. However, there are two points. First, the main characters cannot die, at least not all of them. Second, this must be a military novel.

Mark Saini nodded, indicating that he understood.
