I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 438
In major forums and websites, there have been endless discussions about which of the two authors who currently dominate fantasy combat novels is stronger. However, at this moment, the moment that confirms the speculation in the industry has finally arrived quietly...
Chapter 240 Senior Li Yan’s Life Lesson
Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, is adjacent to the Tokyo Bay area. Many Japanese headquarters companies of large software technology companies are stationed in this administrative area with convenient transportation.
At 9:50 a.m., two boxes of luggage were parked in the conference room.
"Welcome Mr. Uesugi and Mr. Senju to Eagle Jump Company. These two teachers are so famous that they need no introduction."
The young woman wearing thick-rimmed glasses smiled slightly, looked at the two writers sitting in a row at Sanwa Bunko, and said: "We at Eagle Jump plan to launch the third work of the "Elf Story" series at the same time. I have started preparing for a new series of game works, so today I have to choose the most suitable one from the works of two teachers, which has been really hard work during this period."
"Yes, please give me your advice." Qianshou Cunzheng nodded politely and said to the row of staff and investment company personnel opposite.
"...You're welcome." Li Yan sat inside and said.
Finally, we have come to this point.
During the three-week preparation period, Li Yan put all his effort into writing the first game script in his life. It can be said that he got up early and was greedy at night, forgetting to eat and sleep on the design. In the end, he also used Liangfengqingye to tinker with it, perfect it, and finally It's time for inspection.
Before that, Li Yan's cell phone rang when he entered the occasion. As a result, on a new day, Liangfeng Aoye finally couldn't help but feel nervous and sent him a new text message.
——[Suzykaze Aoba: Now we have arrived at Shinagawa Central Park. Ten o'clock is the time to start the game, right? Ning Ning and I are cheering for the senior outside. Come on, the senior will definitely win! (>▽<)]
In Shinagawa Central Park not far away, Suzuka Aoba, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the street with Ning Ning, nervously waiting for the final news.
"..." Li Yan looked at the emoji text on his phone that exuded a warm mood. Finally, he put away his phone and silently made up his mind.
The desire to win has never been as strong as it is now since the last time against Kasumi Shiko.
"..."
Kagurazaka Iris, who was sitting in the front, secretly glanced at Sei Senjumura and showed a meaningful smile.
As the editor-in-chief of Sanwa Bunko’s most popular digital author, Kagurazaka Iris doesn’t understand the personality of Sei Senjumura, a gold medal writer with extraordinary talent.
Although he is still young, his writing skills and literary accomplishments benefit from his literary father. He is also a paranoid man who tries his best to write interesting stories, so his novel accomplishments are a rare genius in the industry.
Therefore, novels are the "territorial scope" that she attaches most importance to. She must have noticed a long time ago that among the vast crowd of authors, there were peers who could attract her attention. Therefore, the purpose of Senjumura's participation in this competition is not to turn his script into a game, but because there is Uesugi En among the participants.
Especially after the missing incident in Okinawa, Sentomura Sei paid more attention to Uesugi En's works. After learning about this game script solicitation event, she also tried her best to prepare a game script of her own design.
"It's rare for Senju-sensei to be so serious. Last time, he made a big fuss to break up the Izumi siblings and wrote an illegal essay competition novel. This time, he seems to have fully unleashed his peak state and faced the challenge. The author I value, Uesugi-sensei... The purpose of doing this is probably to realize that there is a high chance that I will lose to Uesugi-sensei. Well~~~ Even if I were to weigh it, I don’t know who can do it this time. We won, after all, both authors are geniuses with superb creative abilities."
Kagurazaka Iris is also looking forward to this small "civil war" within Sanwa. Even as the editor-in-chief's most trusted young backbone, she has some difficulty judging the final outcome of the two.
"but……"
She glanced at Li Yan slightly, showing a slightly worried look, thinking: "Teacher Uesugi still has too little experience..."
""Fantasy Demon Sword Legend" has already been released as a PS3 and PSV game. Mr. Qianju, who debuted relatively early, once studied and studied how to make game scripts twice in order to ensure the authenticity of his works..."
…
At ten o'clock, the speech activity of the game script officially began.
As a result, after the lottery was decided, Li Yan got the speech arrangement in the backcourt. The candidate speech of the new game series started from Qianju Village Zheng here.
"Hello everyone, I would like to introduce the story of the game I designed. The name of the game is "Thousand Monsters", and the genre is an oriental Japanese fantasy style."
Qianju Cunzheng looked at the row of people and said.
Li Yan's eyes changed slightly as he watched a clerk from Eagle Jump put out a projector and prepared paper materials and distributed them one by one to the staff and investors present.
"Sure enough, it's the oriental type works that Mr. Qianju is good at..."
Li Yan thought silently.
"Thousand Monsters", as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is a game theme related to Japanese monsters.
The background is also of an imaginary type. It tells the story of an imaginary ancient Japan where wars continued, lives were devastated, and demons were everywhere. In order to fulfill the last wish of the Onmyoji master, the girl monster Haitang, transformed by the demon sword, began to pacify the demons across the islands.
In the game plot, various monsters in Japan that can be cute are designed, such as Kiyohime, Umbrella Monster, Yuki-onna and other monster horns that may be enemies or friends. In the main storyline, Senjumura Masaaki focused on the conflicts, estrangements and interesting interactions between Haitang and the famous demon swordsmen Tianye Yunjian, Ten Grip Swords, Demon Sword Muramasa, Onimaru Kunitsuna, Murasame and other important demon sword girls. plot.
There is no doubt that the plot is impeccable and it is an out-and-out good story.
Cute elements, Japanese local cultural elements, and collection elements of all the characters in the game are almost all available. Not only is the plot very interesting, but Senjumura Sei even thought of the design of the DLC mode paid products for other Yao Sword characters on the PS4 platform...
Regardless of the playability of the game design or the commercial operation, the game script designed by Senjumura Sei is undoubtedly quite reliable...
Li Yan had an increasingly intense and uneasy premonition in his heart.
The winner has not been decided yet, but as long as he knows the opponent's script plan and his own script plan, he can generally judge the pros and cons of each...
"Oops……"
Li Yan gradually realized that his work had a major design error.
From the beginning to the end, he has always focused all his attention on making the game interesting. He has worked hard on the plot and setting. In the end, he still used the idea of writing a light novel to design and write his own game script, but completely ignored it. Now...the element of making money based on game settings. For novels, fun is the most important factor, but games are not novels. Investors pay more attention to how to squeeze out the last profit value from a good game.
In Japanese games, most of them will rely on some character clothes DLC, character skin DLC, and new weapon DLC to further earn game value, but there is no more ideal channel to make money than plot branch DLC.
Judging from the reactions of investors and Eagle Jump members and investors, Senjumura Sei’s work undoubtedly made them quite satisfied.
Can you win?
Li Yan thought secretly.
He was worrying about his design flaws with some anxiety, and in his mind, he had begun to lose the sound of questions and answers between Qianshou Village Zheng and Feiying Yuandong's investors.
The work that I have been putting effort into writing has finally met its opponent...
Sure enough, he hated losing this game. Whether it was the achievement of his dream or his pride and self-restraint in creation, no matter which aspect, it tortured his restless mind.
——[Senior...]
"..."
——[Senior, this is a good game. 】
"...?"
——[Senior, come on! 】
Just when Li Yan was a little frustrated and immersed in his own world of thinking, he heard those clear and energetic words of encouragement.
In my memory, on that wet rainy night, there was a riverside walkway leaning on a piece of green vines. Liangfeng Aoye looked at him with a smile as his fists clenched and his eyes seemed to sparkle.
——[To turn the fantasy game in the senior’s mind into reality, I will definitely buy it as soon as possible. I look forward to the senior’s success. 】
