Chapter 494 Kill the Penguin Game!
"The film and television company sent us the stills, and they actually built a castle for filming, and also hired a group of juniors and girls majoring in cooking to be chefs, and set up a large table of seafood, abalone, roasted suckling pig, etc. After the filming was over, everyone was divided..."
"It's so sour, but I still feel like I can live a comfortable life as a star in movies and TV shows."
"In the film and television majors, only a few directors and actors earn the most, and other positions are average. Our game major is different. If we really want to make a popular game, it is possible to earn tens of billions."
"Indeed, our game will definitely be a hit once it comes out..."
Among a certain production team of Star Game Company.
The students were quite envious as they discussed the interesting stories of their classmates filming in the film and television company.
Especially when I heard that they had invited a group of beauties from the art school next door to make guest appearances in the film, I was even more upset.
However, the interns at the game company are quite satisfied with their game production industry.
In terms of profitability, games actually surpass film and television.
There may only be thirty or fifty movies with a box office of over RMB 100 million in China in a year.
The highest is only five billion.
This is just the box office, and only 40% of the box office is really shared.
But in the gaming industry, there are at least hundreds of games with annual revenue exceeding 100 million.
And the upper limit is higher.
The most popular game in China, Honor of Kings, can even earn more than 40 billion a year.
It’s just not as glamorous as the film and television industry.
Therefore, interns in game companies are still very satisfied with their careers.
Not to mention the game they made is now complete...
…
"The game "Evolving Mountains and Seas" has finally been officially passed after a week of testing by colleagues in the test team..."
"I am here to announce that the production of "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" has been officially completed..."
“Then we just need to wait for the approval to be officially launched.”
In the conference room, when Pei Qian announced the news with a smile on his face.
All the students in the production team couldn't help but cheer.
For this game planned by Pei Qian.
Everyone is very optimistic about it.
These three months after entering the company.
Everyone is working hard, even around the clock.
Although the company does not allow overtime work.
But the students are very motivated to push themselves and work in the company.
After work, I take my notebook and go home to work.
Now it's all finally done.
"But the game launch is just the beginning..."
"We are an online game, not a buy-out game."
"So if you want the game to continue to operate dynamically and continue to bring freshness to players, you need to update it regularly to add new content, new pets, new story lines..."
"So the students in the production team will continue to prepare for subsequent updates!"
"Students in the operations team can also prepare to ensure the smooth operation of the game and guard against cheats and studios..."
Pei Qian said seriously.
As an online game, developing the game itself is actually just the beginning.
The follow-up operations are the big deal.
Some mobile games are of good quality, but the servers crash as soon as they go online and cannot support players.
ultimately affects reputation.
Subsequent games also need to continuously produce new content to attract players to play and at the same time allow players to continue to make money.
The same goes for activities.
If a disgusting activity is suddenly launched, a large number of players will be lost.
Therefore, for online games, operations are no less important than development.
When the students in the production team heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
"Next, we will discuss the channels..."
“Our games are unique and not like those junk mobile games on the market that just follow the trend and change skins, so our bargaining power is definitely very strong.”
"For each channel, we will give you a maximum profit share of 30%. If it is more than 30%, we will not accept it directly."
"Besides, we have also updated the computer simulator version at the same time, so it doesn't matter if you don't use these channels, and it saves money."
Pei Qian continued confidently.
The students all understood what Pei Qian meant.
The game needs distribution and download channels.
For example, the dragon fruit mobile phone is the dragon fruit channel.
Players who recharge the dragon fruit must give 30% to the dragon fruit.
This has been criticized by the outside world, who think that dragon fruit is too greedy.
But in fact, domestic manufacturers are even darker.
For example, for domestic mobile phone manufacturers, if you download games from them, half of the recharge will be given to these manufacturers.
Even 70% of them.
And download channels such as Xunteng’s App Store will even take away up to 80% of the recharge.
It's ridiculously dark.
Pei Qian and others naturally do not want the game they have worked so hard to create to be exploited by channels.
So I only give 30%.
If it is above 30%, you will not be able to use this channel directly.
Other game companies don't have this confidence.
But I have...
The reason why Pei Qian also made a computer simulator version after confirming that he would make a mobile game.
On the one hand, it takes care of those players who love to play games on computers.
On the other hand, if players recharge on the computer, they do not need to give money to anyone.
This is also the reason why more and more mobile games are launching computer versions.
Looking around the conference room, it can be seen that the students in the production team are very confident in the mobile game "Evolution of Mountains and Seas".
Smiling extremely brightly.
Some students have even guessed how much money they will get in bonus.
Pei Qian himself is also very confident about his first big production.
Before the end of the meeting, Pei Qian clenched his fists: "We have only one goal for this game, that is to kill Penguin..."
The classmates were stunned when they heard this.
But then they all laughed and cheered in unison: "Kill Penguin..."
...
Xingchen Academy.
The principal's office.
Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh after hearing the slogans of Pei Qian and his students.
His students are really young and frivolous.
Penguin is definitely the top giant in the game industry.
Although he can't make any good games, he is just a porter of good games.
But he ranks first in global game revenue every year.
If he can suppress Penguin in the game industry, it means that his game company will directly be promoted to the world's first.
The difficulty is not low.
But it is not that high.
After all, he has a full industrial cultural chain, rich IPs, and a steady stream of talents.
Killing Penguin, it seems that it is not a dream.
As for the issue of channels, it is not difficult either.
This is just like the previous original game.
As long as the quality is good enough, even if other channels are not needed, it can make a lot of money.
It would be best if the major domestic channel dealers are willing to reduce it to 30%.
If they are not willing, then they will not launch it.
"Evolution of Mountains and Seas" will be launched simultaneously in most mobile game markets around the world.
I believe that with the spread of immortal works in these years, and enough fans have been accumulated.
"Evolution of Mountains and Seas" will definitely not perform badly abroad.
It may even bring a surprise.
…
The first comedy produced by Xingchen Film and Television Company was released on New Year's Day because of its low cost and simple production.
It is called "Lost on Journey".
It has a good reputation and the box office is far beyond expectations. It broke 100 million on the day of its release.
It is a pity that for this type of movie, due to cultural reasons, many jokes are only understood by Chinese people, and may not be funny when translated into English.
So it is mainly released in China.
In foreign countries, such as North America, it was only shown in theaters in a few Chinese-populated areas.
Otherwise, the box office could be even higher.
But even in the domestic market, when the movie was released, it still achieved a box office of 1.8 billion.
With a cost of 20 million, the box office of 1.8 billion is a huge profit.
It makes the entire film and television industry envious.
Various companies are also accelerating to move closer to Xingchen Film and Television Company.
What projects does Xingchen Academy Company have, and if it lacks actors?
Immediately, a large number of actors will come for interviews.
Xingchen Film and Television Company is obviously a startup company.
But in the domestic market, it has already had a domineering momentum.
If the first Sleeping Immortal movie is successful.
It will completely establish its position and there will be no more controversy.
…
While "Lost on Journey" was raging at the New Year's Day box office.
A new piece of news appeared in the eyes of countless netizens.
Xingchen Game Company's first game has been approved.
It will be officially launched on January 15th.
Xingchen Game Company is very much looking forward to this game.
First, pet games have a high upper limit.
Pokémon Go, the game launched by Pokémon, was once popular all over the world.
Annual revenue is more than 2 billion US dollars.
Star Game Company has a higher recognition for its own "Evolution of Mountains and Seas".
Although it has a huge disadvantage in terms of IP.
But the gameplay is richer and more interesting.
Under such optimistic circumstances, Star Game Company directly allocated 100 million yuan for publicity and promotion.
Advertisements are placed in many advertising channels around the world.
Such a big move naturally attracted a lot of attention and expectations from players.
Star products must be high-quality.
This is a sentence that has been recognized by countless people around the world.
When Star students were still on campus, several games launched made players very satisfied.
The games made in spare time are so reliable.
Then how amazing would the games made during internships be?
So players are very concerned.
But when the players who heard the news saw the content of the advertisement.
But they all couldn't hold it back for a moment, and their faces were slowly stunned.
"Start with a Kun, and evolve by swallowing!"
"Xingchen Game's first mobile game: "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" will be launched simultaneously on major channels around the world on January 15."
"Welcome everyone to experience this free world of exotic beasts!"
The background of the advertisement is a giant Kun that is painted in an extremely domineering manner, covering the sky and the sun.
This...
Netizens looked at this advertisement.
It suddenly reminded me of the days when I was brainwashed by all kinds of outrageous advertisements such as zombie Kun, white-bone Kun, Kun-eating demon ape, etc. in the past two years.
During that period, all web games were riding on the popularity of Kun.
But when I clicked in, I knew I was cheated. The whole game has nothing to do with Kun.
Could it be that Xingchen students were also cheated that year, so they made a special game? (End of this chapter)
