Chapter 193 Your elf village, is it serious?
"The Founding of Durotar" is an independent rumor, and the content of the game is only a few chapters of the battle.

Once this game does not achieve the desired success, it will not have much impact on the IP of Warcraft.

It is not unacceptable to use "The Founding of Durotar" as a propaganda tool.

Just like Han Qi asked the writer Astor to write the novel "The Destruction of Lordaeron of Warcraft", Han Qi didn't expect a big hit for this novel.

Likewise, the game "The Founding of Durotar" doesn't necessarily have to be a huge hit.

Han Qi's plan is to launch "The Founding of Durotar" quickly, and then devote his energy to the development of new games.

The IP of Warcraft must continue to be laid out, and other games must also be promoted in a timely manner.

Only by working on multiple games at the same time can we obtain enough funds for Han Qi to build the ideal ghost headquarters in his mind.

Only then can Han Qi have the money to buy a building in the core CBD of Suzaku City!
Astor, after reading the outline of the story provided by Han Qi, he felt that it would be a very exciting story.

With a happy smile, Astor patted Han Qi's chest and promised: "It's a very good story! I was worried that the customized novel would not be wonderful, but now I basically have the score."

"If I continue writing according to this outline, at my level, I shouldn't be able to write too bad a work."

"Personally, I was also very interested in writing such a wonderful novel."

At the same time, with a novelist's keen extrapolation, Astor continued: "It feels like "The Destruction of Lordaeron" should only be a small part of the Warcraft series. There are many things that happened before the story of Lordaeron. After the prince returns to Lordaeron, something great must happen."

"I feel that if all these foreshadowings are unfolded and written, it will be a wave of super epic! I want to read it so much!"

As a fan of Warcraft, Han Qi saw that the outline of the novel he provided easily conquered a novelist.

Even with the factor of commercial bragging, Han Qi is still very happy.

Sure enough, gold always shines!
The wonderful story of Warcraft is equally attractive even in Cyberstar.

Han Qi smiled and said: "Well, there is indeed a lot of room for expansion. I will supplement and improve the plot through various channels in the future."

"A Warcraft universe? Would that be cool?"

And Astor couldn't help but asked curiously: "In the novel I was in charge of writing, this Prince Arthas finally wiped out the Lich King. But it can be seen that Arthas has basically gone crazy and fallen .”

"As a prince, he became a slave of Frostmourne. He betrayed his brother and became extremely depraved. This must have destined Lordaeron's destruction, but how exactly?"

"After he defeated his opponent and returned victorious, what happened afterwards? I'm also curious!"

In fact, Han Qi also wants to tell Astor the follow-up plot, tell him the story of Lordaeron bringing his dutiful son Arthas.

However, Han Qi knows this key plot, so it's better not to reveal it for the time being.

Because other stories of Warcraft IP may not necessarily be written through Astor's pen.

Maybe ask another novelist to write it?
Maybe make a game CG?

Maybe there will be a large-scale offline event?

In short, the creation of a big game IP does not happen overnight.

Nor is it produced by a single work.

Naturally, Han Qi will not put all his treasures on Astor—maybe there will be a more famous author who can cooperate in the future!

After talking with Astor, Han Qi went back to sort it out, and then contacted a middleman.

Although Han Qi and Wang Chaofan have established a long-term cooperative relationship, but this time Han Qi needs to find a big artist to take over the job.

Han Qi wants to design an official cover for "Warcraft: Destruction of Lordaeron". This cover will also be released on Ghost's official website as a pre-heating method to promote the Warcraft IP.

The middleman that Han Qi contacted was specialized in art business.

In the "Cyberpunk 2077" game on Earth, what business is the most profitable?

sell paintings!

Similarly, famous painters in Cyberstar also make a lot of money.

Of course, for Hanqi, who has already made many successful games, the money for inviting an artist is only a small amount.

Han Qi directly contacted the middleman and offered a high price that he couldn't refuse, so he invited a well-known artist in the world of Cyberstar games and movie illustrations.

With the power of krypton gold, Han Qi has provided a slightly abstract manuscript.

About a week later, Han Qi received not only the picture of the novel's cover, but also the first 10 words of the novel "The Destruction of Lordaeron".

Thanks to the outline provided by Han Qi and the combination of Cyberstar prosthetic fingers and a highly intelligent keyboard, writing novels became very fast.

In Aster's words: "With the story framework provided by Mr. Han, I only need to add bricks and tiles to the framework. It's so easy!"

Han Qi seemed to have heard this sentence before, and it was very familiar.

Of course Han Qi didn't ask any further questions.

It is a good thing that novels are written quickly!

Han Qi quickly released the cover image of the novel on the official website, and also uploaded the first 10 chapters of the novel.

And informed the anchor A guy, "Cybersoft" and other friends, so that they can release relevant news as soon as possible.

So soon, news about the pre-heating novel of Ghost's new work spread throughout the game circle.

"Have you heard? Specter has a new game! It's called Warcraft or something. The game is not ready yet, and the novel is coming out first!"

"What a useless thing. The ghost doesn't play games every day and only engages in these fancy and useless things. Where is the novel? I'll go take a look!"

"The new game seems to be a fantasy war theme, haha, I like this kind of theme, elf village, right? Watch the thick orcs rush into the elf village full of beautiful girls... Then, hehehe!"

"Brother, there is something wrong with you. The first villager is the archer Aluchel, right? The second villager is the loli assassin Shika? The third villager is the spearman Lincia... the eighth villager is the great swordsman Cecil Right? Why are you so vulgar! People’s ghosts only play serious games and don’t do H, why do you think of such things when you mention orcs and elves, you are really speechless!"

"Brother, you are the one who is really wrong!"

"No matter what the theme is, I support ghost games as long as they are! After the impact of "Prototype", I am already a super fan of ghosts! Ghosts, I will always be a god!"

"Isn't there a live game? Only novels are not enough. I don't even read novels."

"It's okay, Ghost has always been a high-yield racing sow, and the game probably won't keep us waiting too long."

"Right? Warcraft is about to come out, right?"
