Bishop of the Devil

I might as well write it myself!

These were Richard's angry words, but after these words came into his mind, they couldn't get rid of them!

Write it yourself? !

Isn't this just returning to the old business of a previous life...

like……

It doesn’t seem impossible!

Richard immediately began to analyze in his mind the pros and cons of returning to his old career...

The first advantage is that it can kill time. Richard is going crazy with idleness. He must find something to do for himself to spend this long offseason!

The second is that it can make money. Richard doesn't dare to say how much he will make, but with JK Rowling as an example, if he writes a popular novel, Richard will definitely make a lot of money... …

The "Harry Potter" series started writing in 1997, and by 2004, J.K. Rowling's net worth reached one billion US dollars!

The Harry Potter movie series brought JK Rowling 2.4 billion in revenue!

£2.4 billion!

This is far more than the income of any basketball practitioner!

How difficult was it to write Harry Potter? It doesn't seem to be that difficult...

For a moment, Richard's heart began to beat wildly, there were billions of dollars!

He even had the urge to write a high imitation of JK Rowling before he started writing...

"Mike Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

"Michael Porter and the Philosopher's Stone"

…

There is a saying that practice makes perfect, and there is another saying that "if a person invests 10,000 hours in anything, he will become a genius in this field!"

In his previous life, Richard spent a lifetime writing novels!

Although it is certainly impossible to write an eternal masterpiece with first-rate literary quality, is Harry Potter highly literary? After all, it’s just a teenager’s book…

So Richard can definitely write, and what he writes must be decent!

This is definitely a way to make a fortune!

But Richard soon gave up on this idea. It was really immoral to imitate other people's things...

Now that I have decided to return to my old career!

Then just do it thoroughly!

"I'll write a basketball novel!" Richard immediately made up his mind!

…

If Richard hadn't been engaged in the basketball coaching industry in this life, he would definitely have written some fantasy-themed novels. In terms of big scenes, bells and whistles, and creative settings, Harry Potter, Marvel, and Maimai can't keep up with the domestic YY novel……

And the key point is that domestic fantasy also has a market in the world. There are news reports that a young man from abroad even gave up that thing in order to read online articles...

But now Richard is a basketball coach, and he is also a very well-known coach. At least in Indiana, no fan will be unfamiliar with Richard!

In this case, writing a basketball novel is a pretty good choice...

The YY basketball novel written by a well-known coach sounds very attractive.

For example, the YY basketball novels written by well-known coaches such as Popovich and Jackson Jackson, I am afraid that most fans, even if they are not very interested in the novels, will take a second look...

Richard once analyzed why basketball novels are not as popular as fantasy or urban novels...

The first is the audience. Although there are many fans watching football in China, the number of real fans is not as good as that in the United States...

In other words, the fanaticism of the fans is not as good as that of fans in the United States...

The second reason is the copyright. No matter how good the NBA basketball novel is, you can’t sell the copyright. This is a well-known fact. The main reason is that no one is willing to buy it. After buying it, you can neither make movies nor TV series. Even Not even comics...

If you want to make a movie or TV series, where can you find so many NBA stars to play small roles? !

These limiting factors do not seem to be a big problem for Richard.

First of all, Richard is in the United States now, so the novels he writes are naturally in English, specifically for American fans, so there is no need to worry about the audience...

As for the fatal limitation of finding NBA stars to play as walk-ons, Richard may not necessarily have no way to solve it!

Apart from anything else, if Iverson, Ben, Miller, Dazhi and others are asked to play a role for Richard, will they refuse? Absolutely not.

"Wocao! This is so exciting!"

"Maybe I can be a director or something in the future, or even if I'm not good enough, I can be a screenwriter and make a series about the NBA?!"

"This is the time to enter the entertainment industry. Hollywood actresses and young models are so excited!"

Richard was so excited that he was at a loss what to do!

There are NBA or NCAA movies, but not many stars appear in them. And if Richard really starts to do this in the future, the number of star actors he can find will be absolutely terrifying!

Moreover, Richard's goal is to make an American TV series about the NBA, which will definitely cause an uproar in the United States!

By the way, it can also lead to making movies...

"calm down!"

"Let's wait until the novel becomes popular first. Maybe the Americans won't fall for this trick!" Richard forced himself to calm down!

Now that he was determined to return to his old business, Richard immediately started planning.

Internet writing is definitely not going to work anymore. There are only some news websites on the Internet now, and even Google has not yet appeared. There is no environment for writing online articles at all...

Since it can’t be written on the Internet, let’s do it in person!

Richard instantly thought of Mr. Jin Yong in his previous life. The old man first serialized his martial arts novels in newspapers...

This is basically another form of web writing, but with a different medium!

One relies on the Internet, and the other relies on newspapers.

Since the Internet is not available now, let’s take the newspaper serialization route!

Richard immediately thought about the newspaper he was about to contribute to, the Indiana Herald!

This is the largest circulation newspaper in Indiana, and it also has a close connection with Richard. The editor-in-chief of their sports section is a Purdue University alumnus!

And because their sports section often needs to interview Richard, a popular head coach, the relationship between the two parties is very familiar!

Live together!

The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right. If we don't start writing now, it would be unreasonable!

In just two hours, Richard completed an outline of the novel...

The time is set in 1989, and the protagonist is a poor black high school freshman in rural Indiana!

Named Big Black...

In just his first year of high school, he is 206 centimeters tall, has amazing strength, invincible jumping, unparalleled wingspan, and is extremely violent!

The only thing is that the technology is extremely rough...

…

After writing this character background setting, Richard almost went crazy with joy, it was full of bad taste...

The reason why the time point of 1989 is set is because Richard thought that seven years later in 1996, Kobe, Iverson, Nash and others would enter the league, which would create a few lifelong enemies for the protagonist...

Perfect setting!

Of course, if this setting was placed in the previous life, it would be a proper street setting. Who would be willing to watch what happened in the 1980s...
