Chapter 41 Fan Creation
In a rental house in Neon Tokyo, Urobuchi Mochi was playing games boredly.
“Recently, galgames are becoming more and more boring. They are always love plots about children playing house. Can’t you come up with something new and innovative?”
Thinking about it casually. Urobuchi Mozhi heard someone knocking on the door, opened the door and saw that it was his friend Takeuchi Yutaka.
As soon as Takeuchi entered the room, he shouted loudly, "You are still playing these games with cliché plots."
Xu Yuan was helpless, "I don't want to either. Isn't there nothing new? Today's script writers are simply thinking with their butts. The plots written by my grandma can be written better than them."
"Don't worry about it." Game. There is a critic in the newspaper who often recommends good books. This time he mentioned a novel written by a Chinese young writer. I heard that the plot is very novel and the content is very interesting. What do you think? Do you want to buy it together? See?"
Xu Yuan also saw this Chinese writer in the newspaper recently, "Is he the young genius who is an actor and writes novels at the same time?"
"Yes, that's right. He, there is a book signing in Shibuya today, let’s go take a look?”
Urobuchi hates crowded places, “Forget it, let’s find a small bookstore to buy it and go home and read it. .”
Takeuchi readily agreed, and the two went out together to a nearby small bookstore, and sure enough they found their target on the new product shelves.
"The Beginning of Destiny..." Takeuchi opened it and found that this Chinese novel actually has illustrations, which is really rare.
After a while, Urobuchi's voice of admiration came, "It's really amazing. This character design is so beautiful."
Takeuchi agreed very much, "Yeah, I don't know. Which artist’s work is it? It’s a very novel style of painting.”
The two of them quickly returned to the rental house without wasting a moment. One lay on the bed and the other sat on the ground, watching quietly. novel.
"Red bean puree Si Kunichi (it's so awesome)," after a long time, Xu Yuan sighed,
"It's like a work in a dream. I have fantasized about this since middle school. Story.
What would it be like if heroes from different countries and different eras fought against each other? Now someone has actually written it, and it’s so wonderful.”
Said. , he felt a little sad.
Takeuchi does not have as complex emotions as he does, but is amazed at the carefulness of the author's setting. This kind of plot of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong cannot convince readers without a strict setting.
He looked up and saw his friend was about to burst into tears, and was shocked, "Mozhi, what's wrong with you? Why are you sad?"
"I'm not sad, I just saw that the scenes I had fantasized about since I was a child were written by others. , the mood is a bit complicated. "
Takeuchi suddenly realized, I remember you mentioned before, how about it, are you envious that as a writer, you can't write what you think in your heart.
Xu Yuan Mozhi only felt that these words came to the bottom of his heart,
Yes, I am so envious.
Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, "Yutaka, let's go to Shibuya now."
Takeuchi didn't react for a moment, "Huh?"
The two took the tram and rushed to Shibuya. , went to the location of the autograph signing event mentioned in the newspaper. It was almost noon, and there were not many people in line. Urobuchi Mochi and Takeuchi Tomotaka each bought a book and waited in the back.
Soon, it was Xu Yuan's turn. He took advantage of Chen Linfeng's signing and said, "I heard that Teacher Qilin can speak Japanese. Can I ask you something?"
Chen Linfeng was a little confused. , said politely, "Sir, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."
Xu Yuan briefly stated his request, "Hello, I am Xu Yuan Mo Zhi, a novel author and also a script writer. I like the settings in Teacher Qilin's novels very much. Can I follow this pattern? "How about setting up and creating a second creation?"
Chen Linfeng was a little surprised,
Does this mean, a fan?
Xu Yuan quickly added, "Of course, I will not use it for profit purposes. I will only create fan creations such as fan clubs. I have also imagined similar settings in Teacher Qilin's novels before. I like the plot very much, and I hope you can agree to my request."
After that, I bowed deeply.
Takeuchi behind him also bowed.
Kodansha editor Kazuki Tanaka was responsible for organizing this autograph session. He noticed the situation here and asked in surprise, "Are you Nao-sensei?"
This is still a person Famous writer, Teacher Nao~
“Nao mushroom?” Chen Linfeng said in surprise.
Xu Yuan raised his head in confusion, "Teacher Qilin knows about me?" Chen Linfeng was extremely embarrassed. This was Li Gui meeting Li Kui,
He laughed, "Well, well, I have seen Mr. Nao's The Realm of the Sky and I like it very much."
Urobuchi was extremely surprised, "So, what about this request? "
Chen Linfeng said straightforwardly, "My novel does not prohibit any fan creation. You can make secondary creations at will, as long as it is non-profit.
You can also join the fan club. Promote what I said in the circle, if there is a fan club.”
After speaking, he turned to the editor of Kodansha and said, "Mr. Tanaka, please be a little more relaxed in this regard. As long as it is not obvious plagiarism or infringement, you can be a little more relaxed about fan creations."
Tanakaichi Mu was a little embarrassed, "Teacher Qilin, if you do this, your interests may be damaged. Besides, Neon's copyright laws are very strict, and it is difficult for us to express our position."
Chen Linfeng looked clear. with an expression on his face, "Then please turn a blind eye to your company's legal department and pay less attention to the fan works of my novel."
Tanaka didn't say anything else. The attitude is actually very complicated. I hope these fan creations can help promote publicity, but I don’t want my interests to be harmed.
Some copyright parties will explicitly prohibit it, while others will turn a blind eye. The result that Chen Linfeng expects is that the official will just be quiet.
Takeuchi said happily, "Mozhi, don't you think the current games are boring? We can borrow Chen Jun's settings and try to make a gal game."
Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed, writing in front of others When I talked about making a second-generation game, that doesn’t mean I wanted to change someone else’s wife’s clothes. Even if I wanted to do it, I would have to do it behind the scenes.
Chen Linfeng heard the conversation here and said, "I know Mr. Nao is an excellent script writer. If the game is finished, you can send it to me through Kodansha. Do you want to cooperate with them? Cooperation should not be difficult to achieve."
After speaking, he looked at Editor Tanaka, who nodded in agreement, "I will help transfer it then."
Chen Linfeng continued, "If the finished product is excellent, I will. You may be authorized to officially sell it.”
Before Xu Yuan could answer, Takeuchi said first, "Teacher Qilin, please rest assured that we will definitely make an excellent game that you will agree to authorize."
In the hotel at night, Chen Linfeng told Sister Mei what happened during the day. This little episode.
Sister Mei asked doubtfully, "Xiao Feng, why did you give them fan authorization? And you also asked them to publicize it. Strictly speaking, fan creation should be considered infringement."
"That's why I said that I will not pursue the infringement issue of fan creations. I need these fans to promote my works."
Fate is one of the three major fan miracles of Neon in the previous life.
A large number of fan creations have made these three works extremely popular.
Fate, due to its strict setting, is extremely conducive to fan creation, and its influence has become more and more powerful in later generations, and it is called Neon's "Marvel".
Chen Linfeng certainly hopes that "Destiny" can also achieve this level.
Not to mention the possible monetary gains, just the huge influence and popularity are worthy of his authorization.
What's more, what happened during the day today was that the original author of the previous life took the initiative to create fan works, and Chen Linfeng had no reason to disagree.
Chen Linfeng told Sister Mei his thoughts and finally said.
"Sister Mei, it is the same in our country. We should encourage the second creation of fan works. We only pursue influence.
As long as it is not blatant plagiarism, the wider the spread, the better."
“Okay, I understand, I will communicate with Moya.”
Sister Mei felt that she understood Chen Linfeng’s idea, which is nothing more than the difference between short-term gains and long-term gains.
Just like today's Internet companies, they first take the free route to attract people, and then find ways to cut leeks later.
Well, although this idea is a little biased, the result is the same.
The more influence you have, the more you have to cut the leeks.
