Chapter 301 Bao Xu, You Will Be the Leader From Now On!
October 23.
The English and Japanese versions of "Return to the Shore" are officially released!
On Link Live, an emerging foreign live streaming website, Hao Shuaiqi has already downloaded the English version for the first time, and restarted the game for a week.
It's just that this time he is no longer playing the game according to the conventional route, but is pursuing speedrunning.
After such a long live broadcast, the number of Hao Shuaishuai's live broadcast subscribers has been increasing, and has reached more than 100,000 subscriptions, which is quite impressive on link live, a new live broadcast website.
Every day in the live broadcast, the audience can be seen asking: "When will this game be released in English?"
And on Ellis Island, the video of "Return to the Shore" released by Hao Shuai has also gained a lot of popularity, and the speeches made by foreigners watching the live broadcast of this game have also become a topic of discussion among domestic players.
Now that the English version of "Return to the Shore" is finally out, Hao Shuaishuai naturally wants to take this opportunity to promote it to all audiences.
The audience in the live broadcast room naturally cheered.
"I have been watching the live broadcast of this game. It seems that this is a very difficult action game. I am very grateful to the blogger for introducing such a fun game to us!"
"Great, finally an English version! Who knows what I went through when I played the Chinese version."
"I have to say that the English version of this game is quite well-made. I took a look and found that some key translations have been done just right, and the meaning of the original work has been translated very well. It is really a conscientious developer who strives for perfection in details. Praise!"
"A game that made me, who was not interested in Chinese culture at all, addicted to it."
"I have watched the blogger clear the level several times, I believe this game will not be a problem for me!"
There are also many players who leave messages of support on the official overseas platform, or spontaneously promote it on major forums and websites.
The overseas version of "Return to the Shore" is doing very well!
...
Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.
Li Yada has been paying attention to the data on the external network, the more she pays attention, the more emotional she becomes.
"I didn't expect that the data on the external network is better than the domestic data?"
"Boss Pei is too powerful!"
Li Yada was completely convinced.
This time, the multilingual version of "Return to the Shore" was produced with the help of the official platform, and the translation quality is extremely high, but even so, Li Yada is not 100% sure that this game will become popular abroad.
The reason is simple, cultural differences are too great!
Domestic and foreign game markets are completely different things.
There are many popular games in China, but they are not acclimatized when they go abroad, and no matter how they are promoted, they will have no effect;
There are also some games that have no sound in China, but live happily overseas.
Therefore, there are even a group of publishers specializing in overseas markets in China. They will work hard to study the tastes of foreign users and be responsible for the overseasization of some local games. There are also huge profits in this.
The so-called "overseasization" refers to transforming a local game in an all-round way in terms of painting style, gameplay, game details, promotion methods, etc., so that it can better cater to the tastes of overseas players.
Sometimes in order to achieve better results, it is even necessary to replace the entire world view packaging with a Western Fantasy background that is more acceptable to foreign players.
Therefore, if a certain game catches fire at home and abroad, it is a small probability event with extremely low possibility.
The games that have achieved this have undoubtedly become the pillar games and cash cows of game companies.
Therefore, Li Yada was very surprised that "Return to the Shore" can also achieve good results overseas.
"One thing to say, "Return to the Shore" does not look like a game that will be pleasing in overseas markets."
"The background of the whole story is based on traditional Chinese culture. Many elements that resonate strongly with domestic players, such as Naihe Bridge, Sansheng Stone, Meng Po, etc., may not be felt by foreign players."
"But even so, foreign players still love this game so much, which is enough to show how successful this game is."
"It's all due to Mr. Pei's hard work!"
Li Yada felt admiration from the bottom of his heart when he thought of Mr. Pei's efforts for "Return to the Shore".
"The first is the design of the game itself."
""Return to the Shore" is a very hardcore action game, which is very suitable for the tastes of overseas players."
"Boss Pei took the risk of being unaccepted by domestic players and formulated a difficult gameplay. Maybe it was for domestic and overseas take-all from the beginning?"
"The second is the way of publicity."
"Many foreign bloggers on link live broadcast "Return to the Shore" while looking up dictionaries, making this game widely known overseas, and at the same time forming a hot topic for discussion."
"There is a small probability of spontaneous recommendations by foreign bloggers, but having said that, this is also determined by the characteristics of the game itself."
"The game itself is so good, even without Hao Shuai, other foreign bloggers will discover this game and spread it spontaneously."
"In the end, Mr. Pei told me not to rush to launch an overseas version."
"On the one hand, it is to wait patiently for the game's overseas popularity to accumulate, and on the other hand, it is to allow more time for translation, so that the cultural connotation of this game can be accurately and elegantly translated."
"All kinds of factors add up to the success of the overseas version of "Return to the Shore"!"
"Perhaps this is the so-called 'planning a strategy, decisively winning thousands of miles away'?"
"Boss Pei is really thoughtful and considerate!"
"It seems that I still have a lot to learn!"
Li Yada said with deep emotion.
Just feeling emotional, Pei Qian came to work.
Li Yada stood up quickly: "Mr. Pei, regarding the overseas version of "Return to the Shore", the current situation..."
Pei Qian's face darkened, and he quickly raised his hand to signal her to stop: "Needless to say."
Li Yada nodded hurriedly: "Ah, good Mr. Pei."
Sure enough, Mr. Pei had expected this, and now the announcement of the good news is a bit unnecessary.
Pei Qian was a little speechless.
It's bad luck to hear such bad news early in the morning!
"Boss Pei, the project team has no other tasks at present, only some simple bugs to fix. Li Yada said, "I plan to arrange some version optimization work for them, or prepare to develop DLC, what do you think?" ""
"DLC? No!" Pei Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped this dangerous idea.
He looked at Li Yada, and said seriously: "Everyone has worked hard for so long, why don't you hurry up and take a good rest?"
"Employees are Tenda's most valuable asset, so don't work too hard!"
"Moreover, if there is no input without output, no amount of inspiration will be exhausted."
"As a game producer, you must play more games and draw more materials, so that you can always make good games that refresh players, understand?"
"Everyone don't do anything this week, uh... let Bao Xu take everyone to play games."
"Bao Xu, you will be the leader of the game from now on, responsible for leading everyone to play the game."
"Plan it and arrange tasks for everyone. No matter what game it is, everyone's game time must reach 40 hours this week. If you don't have enough game time, ask yourself!"
Bao Xu, who was crouching his neck and trying to reduce his sense of presence, was shocked.
Dry! My head was almost stuck in the monitor, why did I still get arranged by Mr. Pei!
Bao Xu stood up quickly: "Alright Mr. Pei."
Pei Qian went to his office angrily.
Everyone in the office area looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Bao Xu in unison.
Bao Xu spread his hands in a very speechless manner: "What are you looking at me for? Let's hurry up and take action...don't make it difficult for me."
Everyone in the office area looked at each other in blank dismay, then hurriedly put down their unimportant work and frantically opened the game.
...
In the office, Pei Qian looked at the evaluation of the English version of "Return to the Shore" with his own English level on the construction site, and sighed silently.
Alas, although this result was foreseen before the English version was made, but... there is nothing that can be done!
Pei Qian originally thought that more than 90% of overseas players could be blocked by relying on cultural barriers and cultural barriers, but now he realized that he was too optimistic.
I really didn't expect these foreign players to eat raw meat hard in order to suffer, and they even made a group of bloggers who can speak Chinese popular!
Therefore, the official platform saw the enthusiastic response of the game at home and abroad, and decided to help find a translation team to publish the overseas version, and everything happened so logically.
"Forget it, let it be."
Pei Qian was already powerless about this.
In the end, I entered the state of sharpening my guns before the battle, and went through all the activities of the 1024 Digital Festival again.
In the afternoon, Pei Qian watched the play and took a nap in the office, waiting for the farewell banquet arranged for Editor-in-Chief Xia and others in the evening.
...
...
In the evening, a seven-seater commercial vehicle and an ordinary commercial vehicle of Tengda parked at the door of Mingyun's private kitchen.
Xia Jiang got out of the car, his face was pale, and he seemed not in a good spirit.
The faces of the people who got out of the car behind her were not very good. There was a strong cameraman who was a little unsteady when he walked. He looked weak and probably vomited.
Obviously, most people are not very used to this kind of extremely exciting entertainment.
Xia Jiang recalled the unforgettable experience in Jingzhou Xintiandi Amusement Park today, and his whole body was not well.
Roller coaster, jumping machine, big pendulum, haunted house...
Xia Jiang doesn't know how he persevered, his legs are still a little weak now.
Pei Qian had already waited at the door of Mingyun's private kitchen ahead of time. Seeing that everyone's mental state was so sluggish, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a heartfelt smile.
Hehe, it was finally a victory!
Let's see if you dare to backstab me again!
Pei Qian couldn't help thinking elatedly, should we arrange a similar "deadly one-stop" for all the reporters who come to Jingzhou, so that no one will dare to interview in the future?
"How about Editor-in-Chief Xia, are you having a good time today?" Pei Qian had a happy face and a warm smile.
Xia Jiang forced a smile: "Happy..."
Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction: "Just be happy! Everyone has a good rest after dinner tonight, and tomorrow we will arrange a skydiving event for you. It's very fun, you must not miss it!"
Xia Jiang: "..."
...
...
next morning.
When the staff came to the hotel where Xia Jiang and others were staying, they only found trophies, certificates and a bonus of 100,000 yuan left for Mr. Pei in the room.
Next to the trophy, a letter was left.
"Boss Pei:"
"Thank you very much for your warm hospitality during this time, we spent a very unforgettable time in Jingzhou!"
"Due to the heavy work tasks, the leader suddenly arranged a new interview task, so we had to rush back. Mr. Pei is busy with work, and it is too late to say goodbye in person. I apologize."
"President Pei, please rest assured that this interview will be successfully completed! Hope to have the next opportunity to cooperate!"
