Reborn great writer

Speaking of asking a celebrity to speak for a new book, it seems that this kind of thing has never happened in the previous world or in this world. Is it really reliable?The most important thing is that celebrities are not easy to invite, and those who are not famous have no influence. Hollywood superstars who are too famous can open up the market and gain a lot of popularity, but the advertising fee is too scary. Is it really necessary?

"No, there is a better way." Wang Ni said firmly.

"A better way?" Su Shichen sank into the sofa, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for Wang Ni to continue.

"It's the simplest, most direct and effective way to advertise directly on US TV stations without hiring celebrities."

"Don't endorse, just place advertisements directly." Muttering to herself, repeating Wang Ni's words, the layer of ideological barrier in Su Shichen's head seemed to be pierced like a layer of window paper, "That's right. , It's so stupid... We can make a promotional stunt video just like the books of the "Prehistoric Series"."

As soon as this idea came out, inspirations drilled into his head one by one, "It can be like this, the plot of "The Frozen Throne" is too cumbersome, and it is necessary to make people interesting in a few minutes. It is very difficult, so it is completely possible to make what is called a game CG animation, introducing heroes one by one."

Think about the heroes of Warcraft one by one, Arthas who became the Lich King, Sargeras who is known as the strongest in the universe, the guardian Aegwynn, Deathwing, etc. Showing these characters one by one can't conquer the gringos.

Of course inspiration shouldn't just stop like this...

"And Warcraft not only has huge battles, but also exciting one-on-one battles. I remember that someone on Earth in the previous life selected the top ten one-on-one battles among Warcraft, and then they can do exactly this in the promotional animation. On the Frozen Throne, Concerto of Ice and Fire - the battle between Arthas and Illidan; the most glorious battle of mortals in the history of Azeroth, standing before the statue - Brox vs Sacras ; the battle of self-salvation, the battle between Hellscream and Maronos, etc., these can be used as materials in CG animation.”

The heads-up scenes always make people excited, the more Su Shichen thinks about it, the more he feels that this method is very feasible.

Only by making such a promotional CG animation, the fight between heroes can make people excited, and the sparks between artifacts can be sparked.

"That's right, when it comes to CG animation, you can't forget the soundtrack. The soundtrack of this CG animation is naturally the legendary "Dead Overture"."

The background music episodes of "Warcraft" in the previous life earth have everything, and there are many shocking ones, but Su Shichen thinks that this "Dead Overture" is the most classic, the feeling of bursting out of depression , as if it were Beethoven's Symphony of Destiny.

Su Shichen muttered to himself for a long time, and then he came back to his senses.

I got up from the sofa and asked solemnly, "Auntie, this method is very good and worth a try, but will there be any problems in operation, and there will be no problems in animation, because before in the "Prehistoric Series" I had a great time working with Xingyue Studio when I was working on "Slam Dunk", and I have been in constant contact with Tang Xing, but will it be possible to place an advertisement on American TV..."

Wang Ni said bluntly, "No. American TV and China TV, even though the former is more expensive, but in general convenience is similar, as long as there is enough advertising money, it can be broadcast without violating the contract."

"Okay, let's do this. Try it out and see if you can promote Miguo to the top. Even if you can't, this kind of publicity will help the popularity. It will be beneficial and harmless." Wang Ni and Su Shichen can say They are both activists, and after the two discussed their ideas, they split up and acted.

Wang Ni contacted the American TV station about the advertisement, but Su Shichen wanted to discuss with Tang Xing about the CG promotional animation of "The Frozen Throne". The characters in Warcraft had already been fixed, although Su Shichen Now Chen can make a big deal of spring and autumn to make all your characters more handsome and beautiful, but in the end Su Shichen decided to follow the original, so he drew a lot of drawings for Tang Xing.

"I didn't expect Su Shichen to be so busy writing, and his painting skills have not fallen at all, and are still of the same high level." Tang Xing has long been familiar with Su Shichen's behavior, because This is already the case for the two collaborations. Fortunately, the first "Prehistoric Series" only put forward some suggestions, and the second "Slam Dunk" can be said to be completely mastered.

"Actually, I want to show this promotional video in this way..." Su Shichen told Tang Xing all his general requirements, and these requirements were all excerpted from previous Earth Warcraft CG movies and Warcraft animations. But this time the promotional video is more important, and the requirements are more detailed. It took more than 30 minutes to talk. Fortunately, the two met in a coffee shop to talk about things while drinking coffee.

"In fact, Writer Su, if you don't write novels in the future, you can definitely come to our business." Although he knew it was impossible, Tang Xing couldn't help but said, "The requirements you just mentioned and the points to pay attention to are completely As if the picture has been generated in the head, this kind of simulation ability, Writer Su, you are definitely the best among the people I have ever seen."

"Boss Tang has won the award. This promotional video is very important, so I think more about it."

"Okay, I probably have memorized all these conditions, what other requirements are there?"

"By the way, I also made a song for the soundtrack of this promotional video." Su Shichen handed the recorded "Dead Overture" to Tang Xing.

Tang Xing doesn't know what to say now. Su Shichen is responsible for the rhythm, picture and character design of the promotional animation this time. Their studio is like a puppet. This is not to mention that even the music is involved now. , Tang Xing felt a little unconvinced in his heart.

The plot is great because Su Shichen himself is a writer and has worked as a screenwriter. The graphics are great because Su Shichen is also a cartoonist. But he can't believe that even the composition is so good. Tang Xing made up his mind to make it. A more suitable tune than this "Prologue of the Dead".

After discussing the farewell with Su Shichen, I returned to the studio, recruited my friends from the studio, and explained the mission to them clearly. These friends were all excited to write music based on this story.

Of course, the first thing to do is to listen to Su Shichen's song "Prelude to the Dead"... As a result, well, they were conquered.

I have to admit that this "Prelude to the Dead" is the most suitable, not to mention changing it, even on the basis of the original plan, it can't be changed at all. Tang Xing's conclusion is that this "Prelude to the Dead" seems to be for this It was born out of a promotional video, well, this incident undoubtedly dealt a deep blow to Xingyue Studio...

There is a kind of disaster called "The Frozen Throne". It is not the readers who have a deep understanding of this sentence, but the author. Originally, the genre of Western fantasy still has a market in China, so there are still quite a lot of Western fantasy readers. Due to this confrontation of Western fantasy novels, this subject has become popular again, so many fantasy writers have released new books, everything is very good, and the sales are also good.

But the good days will not last long. The release of "The Frozen Throne" is different from the two books "Song of the Stars" and "The Real Outsider". The market share, but the market is also active, but "The Frozen Throne" is different. This book is like a beast that eats people but does not spit out bones, and it is completely plundering the shares of other books.

According to incomplete investigations, since the release of "The Frozen Throne", the sales of other fantasy novels have plummeted to two-fifths. .

If curses could kill people, Su Shichen would have died hundreds of times by now.

Now what is discussed in the streets and alleys is not "Song of the Stars" or "Outsider Series", but names such as Arthas and Illidan.

This is still China, as for the island country...

Tsinghua University, the stage behind the school, was urged by Li Dongfang to rehearse early this morning.

"Isn't it just a party? Do you want to be in such a hurry, as if you are urging your life." Su Shichen said he couldn't understand.

"Of course we have to hurry up. The seniors and sisters on the stage are also needed for rehearsal. Today is just our turn for freshmen, so don't waste time." Under the urging of the head monitor, he was still not in a hurry There were rehearsals.

The school's band still has a certain strength, so this rehearsal can be said to be quite successful.

After the rehearsal, Su Shichen received a call from Wang Ni on the way home.

"About the release of the promotional video of "The Frozen Throne", we have already negotiated with a TV station, Xiaochen, where are you?"

"Well, I have also negotiated with Xingyue Studio, and it is probably in the process of production." Su Shichen said, "The promotional video is very short, and I asked them to do it with all their strength, and it must be completed in a short time. .”

"Well, the sooner the publicity is launched in the United States, the better the sales of books will be." Wang Ni considered the issue comprehensively.

"I think the same way, so I increase the price to let them speed up without compromising quality."

"There is one more thing about this call. The first-day sales of "The Frozen Throne" have been counted."

Su Shichen was still very concerned about the sales volume, and couldn't help but ask, "How much?"

"..."
