Chapter 14 Don't You Want to Eat Something?
At this moment, Chen Mo's phone rang.
Chen Mo saw that the caller was an iron buddy from his college days, Zhao Zihao.
"Hey?"
Zhao Zihao's erratic voice came from the other side of the phone: "Chen Mo, you can do it, the champion of the game design competition? It's not interesting to tell my buddies!"
Chen Mo smiled: "Didn't I just settle down, there are too many things. How did you know about this?"
Zhao Zihao said: "You also asked me how I knew, you are going to be popular! The videos of you scolding the judges in the competition have already been uploaded on the Internet!"
Chen Mo was speechless: "Huh?"
Zhao Zihao said: "Go and see for yourself, by the way, do you have time at night? We haven't had a good time together since the three of us graduated. It just so happened that this time you also got the identity of a game designer, and you have made money for nothing. Check the shop, this is not a treat?"
Chen Mo smiled and said: "Okay, treat. Then you can call Lin Mao too."
Zhao Zihao said: "Okay, then that's settled. In this way, I'll pick up Lin Mao first, then go directly to your experience store, and then we'll discuss what to eat. Let's make it four o'clock in the afternoon, see you soon."
Chen Mo said, "Okay, see you soon."
In the memory of the parallel world, Chen Mo had two very good buddies in college. The three were not in the same major, but they all entered the game industry.
Zhao Zihao is a rich second-generation, and his family seems to be engaged in traditional industries. Chen Mo is not very clear about the specific situation. He just knows that this person is not very short of money.
However, Zhao Zihao is not a game designer. He opened a studio by himself as a game guild, including but not limited to: power leveling, gold, game channel promotion, etc.
This company is not big, but the wages of its employees are not low, and all of them are good gamers, and those who play poorly will not be charged.
These employees can basically be regarded as playing games with Zhao Zihao. Other jobs are incidental business, and no one cares if the company is losing money. Anyway, Zhao Zihao himself is purely for fun.
Some time ago, Chen Mo heard that Zhao Zihao intends to start a club, but the investment is too big, so he has not decided yet.
Zhao Zihao himself has no pretence. He doesn't look like a rich second-generation in the traditional concept. He thinks about playing games all day. When he was in college, he often went to Internet cafes with Chen Mo and the others. A buddy Lin Mao jokingly called: "The body of the rich second generation, the heart of the silk."
And Chen Mo's other buddy, Lin Mao, is a game designer just like Chen Mo, and he has obtained the qualification of a D-level designer almost after graduating from college, and is now concentrating on developing his own independent game.
Among the three, Chen Mo studied literature, Zhao Zihao studied finance, and only Lin Mao graduated from a serious game design major.
The three have known each other since their freshman year in a game club in the school, and they have always had a very good relationship. They are also one of the few good friends of Chen Mo in this world.
...
At noon, Chen Mo went around the neighborhood to get acquainted with the surrounding environment of the experience store, then found a small restaurant and went in to order a bowl of rice.
By the way, I took out my phone and read the news.
Sure enough, the game competition has been reported in the game sections of many media, and many people participated in the comments.
"The Game Design Contest has ended, who will get the 300,000 bonus and the experience store? 》
"A Magical Bird Wins the Game Design Contest! 》
"Live Audience: It feels like the most abusive game in history"
"700 viewers 350 hours of game time, this game is poisonous! 》
"The judges criticized: Can this be considered a game? ! 》
"Designer: The judges have no objective spirit"
"The founder of Hengyou.com blew this little game into the sky"
Chen Mo flipped through the news,
Basically, the scene of the game is reproduced, but these media have focused on the quarrel between Shi Huazhe and him, obviously trying to use this as a gimmick to heat up this topic.
There are also live videos, Shi Huazhe's commentary session and Chen Mo's final speech, which were broadcast repeatedly and became very popular.
Chen Mo doesn't care about this. For him, it's a good thing to have the media to help him become popular. The more players who know him, the lower the user cost of publishing games in the future, and also save a lot of publicity costs.
In this era, there is a term called the attention economy, and the same applies to the game industry.
The richer the information, the more precious the user's attention is. For the same two games, one is not noticed by anyone, and the other game has been hotly debated before it was released, so even if the quality of the latter is not as good as the former, it is The income will be much higher than the former.
If you have a fan group of 5,000 people, and all the fans in the group are obedient to you, then you can rely on this fan group to support yourself, whether it is through Taobao stores, game channels or any other means of monetization, you can do it at this point.
At this time, Chen Mo noticed that a game media published an exclusive interview with Shi Huazhe.
On the screen, Shi Huazhe looked ugly, and said to the camera: "What I said to this player Chen Mo was to persuade him as a person who had come over, but it was ridiculous that he thought I was belittling him."
"I still have the same opinion. The game industry is an industry that needs sincerity and accumulation. It is impossible for this player Chen Mo to go far. I don't think his next game will sell more than 100,000 games in the first month. "
Chen Mo smiled, this Shi Huazhe is really a dead duck, anyway, no matter what he is like, he will not admit defeat.
Chen Mo silently opened Weibo.
His Weibo has been verified by his real name, and after he became a D-level designer and the champion of the design competition, the information has also been updated.
Chen Mo directly reposted the interview on Weibo, and then added a comment: "Don't you want to eat something?" Then x-on:x-on: the official blogs of several game media.
Don't make trouble with me, right? Okay, buddy, I'll accompany you to the end!
After a while, Chen Mo's Weibo exploded!
The official blogs of several game media found that Chen Mo actually responded, and they all smelled the taste of "making a big news" and forwarded it one after another!
Game Information Network, Tianji.com, WeChat game channel... Even an executive of Dichao Entertainment has forwarded it!
With such a commotion, a large number of players have noticed Chen Mo's Weibo!
"Chen Mo? This is the winner of that design competition?"
"Is it myself?"
"Definitely yes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com You must have real-name authentication."
"Fuck, what kind of trouble is this going to make? Are you going to fight to the end?"
"The guy has a great personality, I appreciate you!"
"What did he mean, what did he want Shi Huazhe to eat?"
"...Upstairs, is your village just connected to the Internet?"
These players got excited directly in Chen Mo's Weibo comments.
Chen Mo's "don't eat anything?" is actually a stalk, because people often predict on the Internet, and then in order to create a gimmick, they often add a sentence "don't eat Xiang" or "don't allow me to eat the mouse" and so on, eat There are all kinds of things and strange things, so when encountering a prediction post, many netizens will reply: "Aren't you going to eat something?"
The meaning of Chen Mo's sentence is very clear: "Shi Huazhe, you said that my next game will not sell 100,000 in the first month. What if it does? Why don't you eat something?"
Soon, the retweets and replies below this Weibo began to skyrocket, one hundred, three hundred, five hundred!
Moreover, enthusiastic netizens are still helping x-on:SHI Huazhe, it's not a big deal to watch the fun.
Chen Mo was much calmer than Shi Huazhe, and this matter didn't make him take it to heart. In fact, Chen Mo is not disgusted by hype. If the hype can bring attention to his next game, why not do it?
Soon, Shi Huazhe replied: "boring!"
Chen Mo was happy, Shi Huazhe still didn't dare to gamble.
In the comments below Weibo, the onlookers sighed one after another, and some people continued to fan the flames, inciting Shi Huazhe to gamble with Chen Mo, either using a keyboard or a mouse.
Shi Huazhe simply pretended to be dead and never replied.
Chen Mo smiled and put the phone away. For him, this is nothing more than a small episode, and there is no need to take it to heart.
