Number One Game Designer

Yu Jiashu always felt that the first twenty years of his life were ordinary.

Ordinary family background, ordinary education, study, second junior high school, second high school, never topped the list, never been a crane tail, the biggest outstanding point of the whole body is probably enough ordinary.

The best word Yu Jiashu learned when he was in school is average, neither good nor bad, neither high nor low, he is simply the best portrayal of average and ordinary. At that time, the popular 007 Yu Jiashu saw a film review, saying that 007 was not a real agent at all, "The best agent is thrown in the crowd so that others can't see you at all."

At that time, Yu Jiashu, who was finally willing to be mediocre, waited for a long time, waiting for the National Security Bureau to come to tell him: Boy, you have the potential to be an agent, come with us.

The result...is self-evident.

In the end, I didn't expect that I, who always thought I was an ordinary person, encountered Hong Yi's game...

Yu Jiashu looked at the box in front of him in a daze. There are four rewards that can be opened in a level gift package, usually four fragments. If it is a complete hero or skin, there is only one, but the page game has a very low chance of being rewarded. have--

"Double complete skins or double complete heroes." Yu Jiashu muttered to himself, did he not have bad luck in the past twenty years, did he save his luck and only used it recently?

"What are you muttering all by yourself?" The roommate next door stared out and asked. Last night, he scored a wave of points all night. First, he won five consecutive victories, and then lost five consecutive games. The roller coaster is like this. ,Stimulate!

Yu Jiashu slowly turned his head:

"I got the Dragon Fist Blind Boy."

"?"

"Whole heroes are not fragments."

"!"

"And there are still two."

"!!!"

The roommate was shocked:

"How many boxes did you smoke?"

Yu Jiashu tremblingly stretched out a finger: "One"

The roommate put on the shorts, put on the broken sleeves, and pulled Yu Jiashu out:

"Don't move, my brother will take you to buy a lottery ticket today, Stud!"

(Your brother's behavior, don't imitate.)

...

Because the time zone of North America is 14 hours behind China, Fang Xi didn't see the sales data of the skin's first day until the second day.

Every person who goes to work in the electronic version downstairs of Hongyi also habitually glances at it, but today's data makes everyone who sees it unable to look away:

After a day of fermentation, the number of purchased limited skins was about the same as that of companion skins, reaching the figure of 8 million.

The least is the ultimate skin, the data shows that there are 1.2 million.

This statistic Hongyi adopts the statistical habits of North America, with the player as the unit, 8 million means that there are this number of players who bought this kind of skin, which of course also includes buying but buying more than one players are inside.

So if you look at it this way, this data is quite astonishing. The base of 8 million is placed here, no matter which number is multiplied by it, it is quite astonishing.

But still the same, Hongyi employees went upstairs after reading the electronic board in the lobby and received a performance report from Xiaolan to the whole company:

Sales on the first day: 432 million US dollars, of which the Chinese market accounted for 39%, the European Union accounted for 27%, and the North American area accounted for 34%.

Received the mail, the company is boiling!

Tuo Fangxi has been conveying the concept of "making the cake bigger". Now everyone in Hongyi knows that even if this project is not his own, as long as the company keeps moving forward and expanding,

Then you can also enjoy the dividends of the housing business: a broader market, a higher budget, and stronger colleagues.

For example, it is said that the boss has asked Xuanniao Studio to pay attention to North American game studios, special effects studios and soundtrack studios in North America, and plans to acquire at least one of each of them to be included in Hongyi's system.

People who heard the rumors at the time felt that although the company really needs these things now, a strong studio can easily acquire tens of millions of dollars. of?

In fact, since the end of July, Su Luo began to contact the two studios.

One is a studio that has worked on different versions of anti-terrorism CS before. By relying on the IP, it made an anti-terrorism CS with even more unbalanced data. The studio that made a little money by hunting novelties, Su Luo came to them purely because of this difference At any rate, they have a little FPS experience. After the acquisition, they can share a lot of pressure whether it is the follow-up development of Left 4 Dead or the new version of Killing Planet.

The other is the game studio of Illusion Industries. Illusion Industries belongs to a veteran special effects studio in Hollywood. It is an old brand, but it is not the No. 1 in the old brand. The special effects have always been like this. The CEO of Mirage Industries saw that the demand for special effects in the game industry is indeed increasing year by year, so he naively established a game studio, hoping to use the new field to get rid of the embarrassment of only being a special effects outsourcing studio in Hollywood status.

As a result...the loss was a mess, and the 12 million of Mirage Industry was just in vain. IGN is also merciless about their special effects game "Dracula", saying that this is a game with nothing but special effects.

"Bad script, long lines, long cutscenes, meaningless skill descriptions, this game is a complete disaster, we even recommend that you don't even have a novelty, because this game is a complete failure, Nothing special except the special effects, but when it comes to it, God! Why don't we go see it in the cinema?"

"The failure of Illusion Industries is entirely due to the arrogance of their management." This is Su Luo's report to Fang Xi: "People in Illusion Industries think that games are just an extension of movies, and they think they have rich experience in film production, so make a It's easy to get in the game, but the facts just prove again that their thinking is wishful thinking."

"Now Illusion Industries urgently needs a sum of money to make up for their shortfall in the game. Personally, I estimate that their loss on this game may reach about 20 million when the cost of this game is included in the publicity and distribution funds. They are very satisfied with the special effects game studio. The offer may also fluctuate around this figure, and I think we are fully capable of taking this studio."

"Continue to talk to them, we are their only hopeful buyers in North America, other film and game companies will not need this kind of complete game studio, they may be more inclined to dismember and carve up, but this will fall into a trap It’s been a long time, I guess the CEO of Illusion Industries doesn’t have that long, he needs a sum of money to stabilize his position, so we just need to keep our bottom line, and they will give in.”

This is Fang Xi's answer.

"So, what about the FPS studio?"

"Normal quotation, and then after we have other studios in our hands, we will give priority to splitting them."

"Understood." Su Luo exhaled. Although the boss doesn't know much about business, she has a keen sense of smell every time, which makes her a little curious.

"By the way," Su Luo suddenly thought of something: "Sorrento's "Borderland" is about to go online, and it seems that the public beta will start tomorrow."

Sorrento... Fang Xi mumbled to himself, nodded to show he knew, and then hung up the communication.

Since the end of E3, it seems that he has never heard from Sorrento again. Fang Xi has a headache. What is this guy going crazy about?
