Chapter 1645 If I Can’t Create Something Original, I’ll Just Copy It
The neon lights at night looked so devastated, and the sky was dark and deep.
After finishing the documents, Lin Wei glanced at the dark sky outside and the lights in the distance, and her expression could not help but sluggish for a moment.
This is the number of times she has worked overtime unconsciously since the second half of the year, especially after the e-sports competitions on the Qifan platform became more and more lively and its influence in the minds of game players became higher and higher.
She always works overtime to deal with various reports and company documents.
The new krypton gold game project has been launched regardless of her feelings, but recently the company's senior management met with the chairman and several major shareholders and proposed a plan to develop a real-time battle game.
This is obviously aimed at Xu Ri Technology. My game innovation is not as good as yours, and my game operation is not as good as yours. If I can't create original works, can I copy them?
I do what Xu Ri Technology does. This is already a consensus reached by many game companies in the current game industry.
Lin Wei has always been opposed to this point. Can you taste the sweetness of chewing sugarcane chewed by others?
But opposition is useless, because the cost of imitation is very low and the effect is very good.
At present, Jiucheng and Baidu imitated Xuri Technology, both of which took the users bundled with instant messaging software as the core, and developed other peripheral products around this core with remarkable results.
Although there is no hope of surpassing Xuri Technology at present, Jiucheng has now surpassed Chen Shoufu's World of Warcraft. Baidu also came from behind and has the potential to become a new upstart in the game industry.
In addition, both of them have shares in Weibo, and Baidu also has its own Tieba, which is still the only search engine company in China.
The two-fold combination has the hope of confronting Xuri Technology, especially since the above-mentioned companies, although they don't say it, obviously feel a little bad about the dominance of Xuri Technology.
After all, this is a private enterprise, not a state-owned enterprise. Even if it is a state-owned enterprise, there are two gas stations, China National Petroleum Corporation and Sinopec, and there are three communication companies, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom.
You private enterprises must dominate the game industry, especially now that the output value of online games has exceeded 100 billion, and it is growing at a jaw-dropping rate every year.
With such a large market, you, Xuri Technology, grabbed a large portion of it with just one hand, which is quite arrogant. Naturally, many people feel uncomfortable.
So some unspoken conveniences are given, and Jiucheng and Baidu are also companies with backers from above.
But the irony is that the above gives convenient support to form a competitive situation, not to let you copy and replicate Xuri Technology.
But the thing is speechless here. Independent innovation has left everyone clueless, and there is no good guidance from above.
On the contrary, the effect of imitation and plagiarism is immediate. In the past two years, Baidu and Jiucheng have been climbing step by step, with obvious results and significant effects, so the opinions on imitation are a bit ambiguous.
For example, now we see that the e-sports competition of Xuri Technology's Qifan platform is held with such a grand momentum.
The senior management of Jiucheng and Baidu discussed and reached a consensus quickly to develop a krypton gold game while also making a real-time battle game to hold an e-sports competition.
For this matter, the above does not oppose, nor does it agree to remain silent.
Knock knock knock.
"Come in!"
"Boss Lin, this is the information you want about all the famous domestic and international fighting games." The female secretary walked into the office with the file.
The boss is talking, but the boss is running around.
The chairman and shareholders have finalized the plan and notified them. Now I don't know where they are going to toast at the dinner party, but she, the so-called CEO, has to work overtime to quickly complete the implementation plan.
"Put it there. It's hard today. You should go home first?" Lin Wei gestured to the secretary to put the file on the desk.
"Then you are here." The secretary looked at her hesitantly.
"I will go home after looking at the collected information. There is nothing for you to do here. You should go home first."
"Thank you, Boss Lin." The female secretary looked happy.
I have been working overtime with my boss these days, so I still feel dry on my face after putting on an extra mask. What's more important is that my boyfriend has a problem with me working overtime all the time.
The two were in the honeymoon period of passionate love, and they were like a long time since they had seen each other. Every night they had to date at 10 o'clock in the evening, or even 11 o'clock after overtime work. This affected the quality of their sweet love during the honeymoon period.
Looking at the secretary going out, Lin Wei stood in front of the window sill and stared at the neon lights of the city outside the window.
After a moment, she sighed and picked up the work documents to read.
Although domestic e-sports competitions are like a desert, there is now an oasis like the Qifan platform.
But international e-sports competitions are in full swing. Even arcade games like King of Fighters, which are almost eliminated now, have competitions, not to mention other popular games on the computer.
So there are many blueprints for real-time battle games that are mature and can be used directly to hold competitions.
For example, CS, Dota, Star Wars, etc., are all very good games for e-sports competitions.
And these games are very mature in the development of foreign e-sports circles, and they can be used when they are taken over.
It is this agency fee that is a big problem. After all, these games are so popular that they have a huge and mature market of their own. Why should you be allowed to eat peaches from the peach trees that they have worked so hard to plant?
But I have to say that there are advantages to being expensive, especially if you want to surpass the sailing platform that is now an instant hit. Then it must be high-end and in line with international standards from the very beginning.
As long as these mature games get agency rights, they can go international directly.
Of course, the benefits are huge, and at the same time, it can also create hype for a domestic e-sports competition that is far superior to the Sail Platform.
But there is an unavoidable point, that is, unless huge sums of money are spent to acquire selected e-sports games. Otherwise, Baidu and Ninetowns can only be one agent and one competition area.
Rather than directly being the organizer of e-sports games like Xuri Technology, one is a player who is just a participant, and the other is a bookmaker who even surpasses the referees. There is an instant gap in the level of this aspect.
"Dota and Qifan are somewhat similar. StarCraft seems to have failed in the domestic market. The most suitable one is the CS gunfight game. Domestic netizens have almost all played CS or Red Alert for their gaming enlightenment.
So this has a player base and a market. You can even launch a shooting game like this directly after getting the agency rights. As for directly acquiring the company where this game is located"
After roughly reading the information, I eliminated those games that may not be adaptable to domestic conditions. Lin Wei feels that CS meets all the requirements of her and the company’s senior management.
Shooting games can basically skip the trap of imitating Rising Sun Technology. Although even if we take out CS, we still have to follow the e-sports road operation model pioneered by Xuri Technology.
But isn’t your Xuri Technology’s e-sports imitating foreign countries?
Can't I just walk this road?
And CS and Qifan Platform, as long as you are not blind, you can see that these are two completely different types of games. If you say that Ninetowns imitates your Rising Sun Technology, it is a bit unconscionable.
"Why do you think of watching TV?" Yang Dongxu's residence in Qingfeng Huayuan.
Zhou Ya walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of cut fruits and asked a little surprised when she saw Yang Dongxu watching a variety show.
Yang Dongxu also watches TV on a daily basis, but the TV he watches is mainly news, and he rarely watches TV series or variety shows.
After all, he has watched all the programs and so on, and it feels boring to watch it again. It is not Chen Peisi's classic sketch, so it is interesting no matter how you watch it.
As for TV series and movies, even if he went to bed, he didn't want to waste time on them.
So occasionally when Zhou Ya became interested in watching soap operas, he would rather go to the study room and play computer games for a while instead of watching them together.
So Zhou Ya was a little surprised to see him taking the initiative to watch the variety show this year.
"Learn from other people's ideas." Yang Dongxu said,
He has basically watched most TV series, movies, or variety shows. Even if he hasn't watched it, he has heard about the general content, so he feels boring while watching it.
Especially after standing at a certain height, he knew all the little tricks of the screenwriters. Amazing film and television works only come out occasionally, so most of the time he naturally has no interest in watching TV.
But today's variety show is different. This is a superstar outdoor variety show jointly created by The9 and Baidu.
In the past few days, as long as you go online or watch the news offline, you will see promotions about this program. Advertising posters have occupied the Shanghai subway stations and buses, and the promotion is overwhelming.
In addition, there is no such variety show in the history that Yang Dongxu is familiar with, which naturally makes him interested in watching it.
""Superstar Life"? I have seen the promotion of this variety show. Some time ago, the other program team also contacted Runyu Foundation. They said that the program would film the lives of children from Hope Primary School in the mountainous area.
I haven't agreed yet, but the Education Bureau seemed very interested and took over directly. It is said that more people should pay attention to children in mountainous areas. "
As Zhou Ya spoke, she held Wen Wu, who was dozing off, in her arms and fed him fruit.
"I will find an entry point." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but say.
The variety show "Superstar Life" has a good concept and is very attractive.
After all, even in the era when the Internet has developed rapidly in later generations and celebrities can make news for any slightest disturbance, many people are also very curious about the lives of celebrities.
Not to mention this era where ordinary people feel more different from celebrities. As an ordinary person, I am definitely curious about the life of a star, so this show can attract the audience as soon as it comes out.
But in terms of a star's life, you can't publicize how he lives a luxurious life, how much a villa costs, or how much a sports car costs.
If you don’t want to be scolded or have your celebrity personality collapse, you must rely on ordinary and down-to-earth aspects, and charity is not a good entry point.
