Chapter 737 Burn, Game World! (4500 Words!)
The ninth day of the first lunar month.
An investigation report appeared in the hands of Chen Zhu, the general manager of Tianxin Game Company.
Under the early morning sun, he looked at the investigation report seriously, and he found that the report contained the estimated turnover and income of the "Remote" game for the whole year last year, and of course, other games such as "World of Warcraft" analyze……
Before he didn't check, he didn't know, but when he checked, he was shocked.
He was not very optimistic about the "long-distance" game. Last year, he quietly set a lot of firsts in the game circle. Make a fortune!
for example!
"Plants vs. Zombies" ranked first in last year's stand-alone game sales list.
For example, "Happy Fighting the Landlord" ranked first among the casual games last year.
There are also some arcade games such as "The King of Fighters" and "Metal Slug", which are ranked in the top of the popularity list of the major games from beginning to end, and the popularity list is also like crazy.
You said, "remote" platform traffic?
Although the "remote" game does not have the most traffic among the major game platforms, it is not as good as their Tianxin platform, but the gradual increase in the number of users every month is very scary, and the number of VIPs is growing at an incredible rate Increasing, for several months, this growth rate has surpassed their heavenly belief.
Seeing this, Chen Zhu frowned.
Although in the short term, it is impossible for this "remote" platform to surpass their Tianxin platform, but in the long run, many things will be hard to say.
Immediately afterwards.
He stared intently at World of Warcraft.
When the game "World of Warcraft" was very early, he heard that "remote" was being developed.
Except for a small group of people who are operating the "remote" platform, most of the other staff are guarding "World of Warcraft" day and night.
According to the data, this "World of Warcraft" is one of the few 3D games on the market, and the development funds alone have added up to more than 100 million yuan, and this is not counting post-production Some huge expenses.
After all, although this information is detailed, there is no way to accurately estimate how much "World of Warcraft" actually cost.
Anyway...
Could it be!
After Chen Zhu thought of something, his brows suddenly frowned even deeper!
He suddenly realized one thing.
like!
The "remote" platform has not had any income for Lu Yuan in the past few years!
It seems that no matter how much money the "remote" game makes, it is fully invested in the company's operations and the development of "World of Warcraft". Finally, some profits seem to be distributed to these employees as bonuses.
Lu Yuan!
This person is a little scary.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhu hastily and seriously flipped through some of Lu Yuan's resumes.
"wrong!"
"All these resumes of Lu Yuan show that he is a very stingy person!"
"But……"
"Why are you so generous to the employees below? This is obviously wrong... Could it be,
Lu Yuan himself is not a stingy person? "
"..."
Chen Zhu realized that he couldn't understand Lu Yuan at all.
After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that this "World of Warcraft" was bound to have a certain impact on the entire game circle, and it might even affect the popularity of their company's "Myth" 3D game.
Although "Mythology" is China's first 3D game!
Since the public beta was announced two years ago, this game has directly controlled more than 80% of the market in the Chinese game circle, and even the gorgeous game "Tianlu" on the other side cannot compete with it.
but……
Chen Zhu always felt that the birth of "World of Warcraft" would definitely be a huge impact!
After reaching this conclusion, Chen Zhu immediately knocked on the office of Ma Huaming, the boss of Tianxin Games, with a series of materials and his own analysis, and told Ma Huaming his worries and analysis seriously.
"Mr. Ma, I think we have to make corresponding strategies and adjustments to deal with the impact of "World of Warcraft"..."
"You seem to be terrified of World of Warcraft?"
"No, I'm not afraid, I think we should plan ahead."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"At the beginning of March, I plan to do a "Mythology" promotional activity! I heard that Lu Yuan is shooting a promotional video, I thought, we "Mythology" should also make a good promotional video, using 3D I plan to hire the top special effects team in China, and it doesn’t need to be too long, a promotional film of about 30 seconds is fine, we strive to do better than Lu Yuan in the promotional film!” Chen Zhu looked at Ma Hua seriously. Ming, earnestly said what was in his heart.
"The promotional video of "World of Warcraft"?" Ma Huaming put down the information and laughed, "Do you still remember the promotional video of "The World of Warcraft?"
"Well, I remember that Lu Yuan went on the stage himself and made a series of brainwashing propaganda such as ingots arriving in seconds..."
"What is the final ending of "Magic World", do you know?"
"I know, I stopped taking it permanently, and I was scolded bloody..."
"It's good that you know that Lu Yuan is indeed very talented. However, his previous performance in games has always been very short-sighted. He only cares about money, including a series of vip recharge strategies that were launched later. He has a very bad reputation in the player circle." Ma Huaming rubbed his chin and looked at Chen Zhu, "He has always used the cheapest publicity to create the greatest effect and benefits. I think his promotional video this time may be very popular once it is released. Shocking, but the special effects will definitely be as bad as "The Wizarding World"...Maybe "World of Warcraft" will be sought after by many people at the beginning, but after a long time, it will definitely end the same as "The Wizarding World."
"Mr. Ma, I think Lu Yuan is different this time. According to the information, Lu Yuan has not made a penny since the establishment of "Remote". Basically, all the money he earned has been used in the development of "World of Warcraft". I don't think he was joking."
"No...it's because you don't know Lu Yuan." Ma Huaming shook his head, ""Mythology" can be made into a 3D promotional film, but there is no need to invest too much energy. These are all flashy things in my opinion. If China and the United States compete, we can indeed consider this. After all, the promotional videos they make are very sophisticated, but competing with people like Lu Yuan... It's like shooting mosquitoes with cannons. It's better to spend money on some top-level We can invite a few more stars to help promote it, and we can even form a team of top stars..." Ma Huaming chatted with Chen Zhu about the promotional arrangements for "Myth". Future game strategy.
Chen Zhu listened quietly, and picked it up with his notes.
Am I overthinking?
At first he thought that Lu Yuan would spend a lot of money on "World of Warcraft" this time.
But after a while of analysis by Ma Huaming.
Chen Zhu felt that Ma Huaming's analysis was very reasonable.
Lu Yuan...
this person……
Seems to be the case?
Although the quality of the game may not be too bad, but Lu Yuan's promotion is all...
The cost savings are unbelievable.
"Hehe, I think, with Lu Yuan's personality, this "World of Warcraft" will invite stars, but they will definitely be his company's own stars, or they will be invited by himself. After all, with his current traffic, he can indeed support A group of fans, and cost-saving, this person has never had a bottom line in doing things." When Ma Huaming said this, he shook his head helplessly.
"World of Warcraft" if Lu Yuan personally went to battle to do some brainwashing propaganda.
That will indeed cause a certain sensation in China, and even in some small areas abroad.
This is impossible.
But……
They "Mythology" don't have to worry so much at all.
"Yup."
Chen Zhu nodded.
Half an hour later.
Just after Chen Zhu and Ma Huaming finished chatting and were about to leave, suddenly the assistant came over in a hurry and said something in Ma Huaming's ear with a solemn expression.
After speaking...
Ma Huaming's expression changed drastically in an instant!
"What! What are you talking about! He actually invited..."
"What's the matter, President Ma?"
"This person actually invited McVisi to be the international publicity officer for "World of Warcraft"!"
"what!"
When Chen Zhu heard this, he gasped instantly!
this person...
crazy?
…………………………………
"!!!"
"Oh my god, McVises, Er Gouzi invited such a character to advertise "World of Warcraft"?"
"McVice's advertising fee is a minimum of 100 million U.S. dollars, Er Gouzi is willing to spend so much money? Impossible, Er Gouzi should be clinking poor now, after all, so many year-end bonuses have just been issued, I also heard that I bought a piece of foundation and still owed my father-in-law more than one billion dollars, 100 million dollars, how could Er Gouzi get it out! Could it be that my father-in-law funded it again?"
"My day! This..."
"Oh my God, this is not the breaking news. The breaking news is, what did I see? Oh my god, is this rumor true or not? McVes was actually wearing that suit in... Wait, If I'm not mistaken, this is the clothes worn in the previous "Magic World", right?"
"Your sister!"
"Wouldn't Er Gouzi make a big man like McVisi into a brainwashing advertisement like, "Brother, come and kill me"?"
"Pfft, according to Er Gouzi's pissing nature, it's really fucking possible. Have you seen it? In these exposed pictures, McVess looks like he's waving a big sword, does it look like it?"
"It really looks like it!"
"Oh my god...Mikevis, isn't this..."
"Wait, the United States seems to be scolding!"
"..."
Morning.
When the "Chaoyang Entertainment News" exposed a story that McVisi became the promoter of "World of Warcraft", the entire Chinese entertainment and game circles were stunned as if a major earthquake had occurred!
Who is McVese?
The king of pop in the world, the king of dance in the world!
Such an existence, such a coffee position, the advertising fee is definitely a sky-high price of 100 million U.S. dollars!
And who is Lu Yuan?
Lu Yuan has always been rumored in the entertainment circle. After all, everything Lu Yuan has done these years is based on the premise of saving money and creating a big publicity effect!
You said, let Lu Yuan spend 100 million US dollars, please McVisi?
How is this possible!
And Lu Yuan is now in negative equity, so did he ask his father-in-law to borrow money again?
Everyone stared at Wang Yaohua suddenly.
All the media rushed to interview Wang Yaohua in an instant.
……………………………
"What do you mean! I didn't lend money to Lu Yuan!"
"Yes, I didn't lend a cent to Lu Yuan!"
"Dowry? No! The money I lent Lu Yuan before is not a dowry. We have signed the IOU and will pay it back when the date comes!"
"What do you mean! I told you, I didn't borrow any money. Lu Yuan invited McVisi to endorse his "World of Warcraft" game. This has nothing to do with me, I don't know!"
"Don't ask me, I'm very busy, if you want to ask, just ask other people!"
"Sorry, I'm sorry to give way..."
"..."
evening!
Wang Yaohua was surrounded by countless reporters, and then these reporters looked like they wanted to make trouble, and they seemed to want to make big news, which made Wang Yaohua dizzy.
What the hell is going on in this world?
What do you mean by acting like I'm being taken advantage of?
Is my money mine or Lu Yuan's?
Don't say that Lu Yuan is not my own son, even if he is, he didn't come like this, right?
So, once Lu Yuan is short of money, what do you mean by interviewing me?
I'm Lu Yuan's free cash machine? I make money for Lu Yuan?
Wang Yaohua took a deep breath.
He really doesn't want to wear the hat of the Huaxia old man anymore.
………………………
"What! McVesis accepts this kind of advertisement?"
"Oh my God, this bastard Lu Yuan, how could he treat McVisi like this!"
"Mikevis, why are you doing this? Are you short of money? If you are short of money, you can tell us and we can give you money!"
"Oh, I don't believe it, I don't believe McVeeth would take an ad like that!"
"I do not believe!"
"Bastard Lu Yuan, how on earth did you deceive McVisi, tell me, bastard Lu Yuan!"
"This Chinese man, I checked his information, I really can't imagine the same promotional scene as McVesis and "The Wizarding World", really, I want to kill this Chinese man!"
"me too!"
"..."
United States.
When McVisi became the propaganda of "World of Warcraft", and it is very likely that the five cents promotional special effects news of "Wizard World" appeared in the American media, the entire American media and the American public were full of criticism.
Just one night.
A large group of Lu Yuan's American fans instantly turned black towards Lu Yuan fans and joined the scolding camp.
See this scene.
The American Century Entertainment Company is naturally very happy to see it.
Anyway...
The messy black materials poured out in an instant.
Joaquin, who is cooperating with Century Entertainment Company, is happy.
Xu Hong was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
…………………………………
"Remote" games.
When Lu Yuan saw the huge enthusiasm and scolding and doubting voices, not only was he not sad, but he felt very fulfilled.
"Hahaha, McVisi's influence is really awesome!"
"Sure enough, it's much better than me!"
"great!"
Wang Jinxue, who was next to her, stopped breathing when she heard this rather pretentious sentence.
But after all, nothing was said...
"Jinxue..."
"Ok?"
"Everyone thought I was stingy..."
"Is not it?"
"This time, I will show them a huge reversal!"
"What reversal?"
"I have my own special effects company, so the 50 million special effects promotional film cost can be reduced to 30 million, and 30 million, I can still afford it..." Lu Yuan hesitated for a while, then A decision is made.
"Thirty million! Are you going to..."
"Well, yes! "World of Warcraft" will be the nuclear bomb of the gaming world!"
"..."
"Try it and see if I can ignite this nuclear bomb!"
Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
Let it burn!
Game world!
under the setting sun.
Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Wang Jinxue seemed very excited.
as if……
Falling into a general memory.
Naturally, Wang Jinxue didn't know that "World of Warcraft" was actually the beginning of an era...
