“Wow—”
Seeing Shen Miaomiao holding the certificate with a look of 'cherishing' on her face and wiping it with an 'unable to let go' look, Chu Qingzhou nodded repeatedly:
"This is indeed a precious award, after all, it is a record-breaking award,"
"There are only a handful of games in the Asia Games that have sold more than 500,000 copies in a single week,"
"Our PUBG has broken sales records and has made back its investment in the first week, which is really gratifying..."
"Let's get down to business..."
Shen Miaomiao covered her chest and waved her hands repeatedly to interrupt Chu Qingzhou:
"Don't mention the compliments anymore. What do you want from me..."
That’s all I have to say about PUBG’s sales. It would be impolite to say more.
I'm not afraid of death.
I think if I had a heart attack right now, it would scare you.
"Oh, it's Mr. Yan from Yiyou." Chu Qingzhou said with a smile.
"who?!"
When Shen Miaomiao heard the name, she immediately raised her eyebrows.
Damn, you dare to come here?
You must know!
The reason why PUBG has achieved such a huge success this time is not only because the quality is strong enough, but also because of the vigorous publicity and promotion!
Among the major publicity and promotion companies headed by Huayu Entertainment, the one that ranks among the top in terms of hard work is Yiyou!
Really lick them!
A recommendation today, a promotion tomorrow, and a publicity the day after tomorrow.
Not only does it cast a wide net, but it also uses almost uninterrupted big data precision positioning promotion!
You can say that.
When it comes to "promoting PUBG", Yan Sheng and Yiyou, the company he leads, have spared no effort!
Good job!
I'm dizzy from this meal!
How dare you come to me?!
Shen Miaomiao clenched her pink fist into a small one.
At the same time, he looked at the big water gun under the table.
Has he always been so brave? Doesn't he know I can do martial arts?
"Mr. Shen."
"Mr. Shen?"
Seeing Shen Miaomiao was still in a daze, Chu Qingzhou greeted her twice: "How is it? Do you have time now? Do you want to ask Mr. Yan to come over to your place or...?"
"To the meeting room."
Shen Miaomiao waved her hand.
She was afraid that she would not be able to resist showing off her magic weapon in the office:
"By the way, let's call Lao Gu as well."
Shen Miaomiao was angry, but she didn't lose her mind completely.
A busy man like Yan Sheng would never come to visit someone for no reason. He must have come for something important today.
…
"Boss Shen! Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Sales in Asia exceeded 500,000 sets in the first week, and total sales exceeded 55 million! We broke even in a single week, and will be making pure profit from now on! This is really cause for celebration! Hahahahahahahahaha, I hope you will achieve even better results in the future!"
You have your own business!!!
Shen Miaomiao shook hands with Yan Sheng. Her head was shaking from being thrown to the ground. She forced herself to resist the urge to kick this guy away.
“Ah…hahaha…”
Shen Miaomiao felt a little hopeless, so she raised the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, just to deal with it:
"Please sit down, Mr. Yan, sit down..."
If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly. Otherwise, I will die in front of you. As a young person today, my life is very fragile. I can die at any time.
Both parties took their seats.
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao stood side by side, opposite them was Yan Sheng.
"Does President Yan have any new project this time?"
After sitting down, Shen Miaomiao asked the first question.
Take the initiative!
Let’s not talk about making money anymore!
I would like to hear you talk about the projects that lost money.
"Well……"
Shen Miaomiao's straightforward approach made it difficult for Yan Sheng to speak for a moment.
After all, he came here today to ask Golden Wind to die.
It seems inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing.
In fact, Yan Sheng could have come up with a clever excuse to explain this invitation as "specially invite your company to come out and produce a masterpiece to add luster to our somatosensory cabin, which will be a win-win situation for both parties."
But he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it.
I couldn't say it because it would go against my conscience. Golden Wind has had a very good relationship with them for such a long time and is also a close cooperation partner of Yiyou.
Moreover, the reason why Yiyoux1 can achieve an increase in market share is not only because the company does not dare to slack off, but also the outstanding performance of Golden Wind is one of the important reasons.
Under such circumstances, it is against Yan Sheng's conscience to deceive partners with unfounded benefits.
I dare not say it out loud!
Because Gu Sheng was present.
That's right.
Even though Yan Sheng was an ungrateful, short-sighted person who could deceive Shen Miaomiao, the crazy CEO, against his conscience , he would not dare to say that!
Shen Miaomiao is easy to deceive.
The supernova she narrated about, who wore a Mickey watch, had a smile on his face and looked harmless, was not someone that anyone could fool!
Gu Sheng's understanding of the gaming industry is simply perfect!
Whether it was the speech at the previous Mini Game Festival, the 'MFGA' at the China Entertainment Electronics Exhibition, or the promotion of the game at the Asian Games Conference.
All of these reflect his mature gaming skills and precise control over the market!
There was no need to think carefully about this kind of 'suicide trap'. I was afraid that Gu Sheng would see through it as soon as I opened my mouth.
then!
Yan Sheng calmed himself down and spoke sincerely, truthfully.
From the upgrade of Yiyou x2 to the idea of ​​inviting Golden Wind to develop an escort masterpiece.
From the current situation of the two armies confronting each other to the power of Xun Teng's three axes.
From the selection of types of escort masterpieces to the investment scope of escort masterpieces.
From beginning to end, everything is clear and distinct, what is important and what is at stake.
I told Shen Miaomiao everything.
Very detailed.
"... This is the situation,"
After Yan Sheng finished speaking, he sighed a little embarrassedly and rubbed his hands, looking a little embarrassed:
"I know that this invitation was very hasty, and it's not fair to you..."
"So I fully respect your opinion,"
"If you feel it is not suitable, you can wait until Yiyoux2 is launched stably before launching your work."
“It will not affect our good cooperative relationship.”
After saying that, Yan Sheng looked at Shen Miaomiao and Gu Sheng opposite him.
At this moment, both of them frowned.
…
Gu Sheng's brain is carbon-based and he thinks like a normal person.
When I heard Yan Sheng’s proposal, my first reaction was to refuse.
no.
Can't beat.
This thing is simply a suicide pact.
It is true that many of the battles he had fought before were victory of the weak over the strong.
For example, two great titles with the word "Qiu" in their title - "Left 4 Dead" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
Let’s talk about the road to survival first.
At that time, their competitor was Guangyao Game’s Fearless Sniper.
1v1
The investment amount is 10 million versus 100 million.
The investment amount differs tenfold.
In the early days, even though they played the banner of MFGA and pioneered the concept of the second-generation FPS, they were almost suppressed all the way due to the blockade of publicity and promotion.
This situation did not change until the creative workshop was launched.
That is to say, from 10 million to 100 million.
Their game needs to pull out the two jokers of "second generation FPS" and "creative workshop" in succession to form a king bomb, in order to achieve a comeback.
The difficulty can be seen from this.
Let’s talk about PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
This time, the cost gap between them and their benchmark manufacturers has narrowed, to approximately 50 million versus 200 to 300 million.
But it is no longer 1v1, but an Asian brawl.
Everyone is fighting on their own, carrying out publicity and promotion, and seizing the market, and the battle is extremely fierce.
This time, they relied on the innovative gameplay of "Battle Royale", coupled with the huge Chinese market and the support of Huayu Electronics, to fight their way through the Asian melee and advance triumphantly.
This is a comprehensive victory.
And now!
According to what Yan Sheng said.
What lies before them now is an unprecedented dilemma!
The previously highest cost difference has been further widened!
One hundred million against three billion, or even five billion!
The battle situation is no longer a melee!
It’s a pure one against three!
As the only FPS player in the field of art games, they will face three huge mountains and nearly fifty times the funding!
Yan Sheng is right...
Gu Sheng smacked his lips.
This is simply a dead end.
but!
The words "escort masterpiece" are quite tempting!
You must know!
This time, Yiyou x2 will not only be sold in the domestic market, but will also try to enter the overseas market!
And if our own game can get in touch with the outside world through this opportunity, it will surely be a great help to Golden Wind!
After all, PUBG has achieved sales of 500,000 copies in a single week when it was launched in Asia, which is several times higher than the 150,000 copies of Left 4 Dead sold in China in a single week!
What if one day they can really look at the world?
Gu Sheng is looking forward to it.
So, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
But the question is, what kind of game should I choose so that I can maintain a high profile and remain invincible amidst all these obstacles?
…
Gu Sheng is very professional and considers a lot of things.
In comparison, Shen Miaomiao's brain is very simple.
It’s better to die!
Comrade Yan Sheng is a good comrade!
Let Golden Wind fight against Xun Teng's three generals!
Look! Oh my God! Mr. Yan, how did you come up with such a stupid idea?
Look at how stingy we are in Golden Wind. Compared with their investment amount which often starts from ten figures, our money is like a hammer. And once the difference in game cost is too big, there is no comparison at all.
In front of their three generals, we are just the younger ones among the younger brothers.
When people see us swinging our three axes, they will definitely tear Old Gu's pants apart and hit him in the face!
This is a dirty trick. If I didn't have a system that could tolerate losses, I would definitely hit you in the face with a big brick.
And "this is not fair to you."
Is that unfair?
They invested hundreds of millions of dollars and used us like pawns, sending us out to die.
If you can make money, you can make money. If you lose money, it has nothing to do with you Yiyou.
You and that old fellow Jiang Yingcai are from the same school, right?
Listen to yourself, are the words you said the ivory that can be spit out from the mouth of a carbon-based creature?
Shen Miaomiao was speechless, but didn't say anything.
After all, this opportunity is rare and it’s a good way to lose money.
…
"Director Gu, Director Gu?"
Seeing Gu Sheng lowering his head in deep thought, Shen Miaomiao nudged him with her elbow:
"What do you think of Mr. Yan's idea? Do you have the confidence to make a masterpiece that escorts the art game x2FPS type game?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
Damn, you dare to ask?!
At this moment, he felt that what little Nezha was asking was not "Do you think we have a chance?"
But it means "It's time to die."
One billion floating on ten billion is outrageous!
One hundred million floating on several billion?
Do you think we have a chance?
Look at their three generals, Tianlang Studio is stationed in the base camp, consolidating the foundation!
The other two studios, go out to kill the enemy!
One is responsible for producing the second-generation FPS and the battle royale, with the main feature being a battle!
The other one is responsible for producing the plot, focusing on storytelling!
That is to say!
If I want Yi Dashan (One vs Three) to be successful, I must not only tell a good story, but also launch a competitive game, preferably one that breaks through the foundation of the Battle Royale!
and!
We must also try to shake Tianlang's solid position as the first-generation FPS!
It’s actually not impossible to do this!
The Call of Duty trilogy plus the tactical team competition mode plus Warzone, I'll sew them all together for you!
Don't even mention the three heroes fighting Lu Bu. I will kill all three Lu Bu riding on Dian Wei. Come back and the wine is still warm!
But the problem is!
If that's the case, let alone 100 million, the investment in one of our games will be higher than the total investment of those three generals combined!
Where does the money come from?
What's more, let's take a step back!
We have money!
My emotional value is not enough!
Gu Sheng briefly checked his system.
His current emotional value is only about 250,000.
According to Yan Sheng, at the latest by the end of next month, they will start the project to escort the masterpiece!
By then, his emotional value reserve would be around 900,000 at best!
But the emotional value requirement for Call of Duty is five million!
Including war zones?
Seven and a half million!
This is simply an unattainable goal!
Gu Sheng was in a difficult situation.
Nine hundred thousand.
Although this accumulation speed is already very fast, it is still a drop in the bucket for a masterpiece.
Not to mention redeeming all the Call of Duty items, he couldn't even afford to redeem the main body.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng felt a little discouraged.
Alas, before developing the PUBG project, he had trouble with the problem of insufficient emotion value.
Looking at the two big daddies Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Titanfall 2, I feel helpless and now...
Oh, that's not right?
Wait a minute?!
The Call of Duty trilogy was sold as a bundle, costing five million emotional points, which was indeed too much for him to afford.
But Titanfall 2...
hiss!!!
Think of this!
Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath!
If he remembered correctly, the price of TTF2's emotion value was exactly 1 million, which would require an investment of approximately 100 to 200 million!
This price was indeed out of reach for him in the past!
But now…
Gu Sheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
What era is it now? Are you still fighting against traditional Lu Bu?
Let’s change the taste.
Come, look at my big baby.
All three of you brothers count!
Three heroes fighting Titans!!!
Think of this!
Gu Sheng rubbed his chin and was about to speak: "I think..."
Then I heard little Nezha nodded: "Well, very good, then we agree!"
Gu Sheng:?
Did I get a frame cut? What? Stand attack? King Crimson? Did the boss delete my time?
I just opened my mouth, and I haven't said a word yet?
He really hadn't finished yet.
But Shen Miaomiao had been observing him for a long time!
Gu Sheng was seen frowning and sighing, wanting to say something but stopping himself, just like a patient who has squatted on the toilet for an hour but has not achieved any results and blames the lack of gravity, feeling conflicted and distressed.
Shen Miaomiao knew it.
This matter——
Done!!!
She even observed it for a while longer!
A full five minutes!
After making sure that the frown on Gu Sheng’s bitter face had not faded, he finally felt relieved!
Wave your hand.
Okay, stop talking. If I ask you to say anything, you will definitely say "This project is too risky and is not recommended."
Me.
I'd better agree to it first.
"Uh...ah?"
Yan Sheng was very surprised to see Shen Miaomiao nodded in agreement after observing his expression for a while.
Originally, looking at Gu Sheng's expression, he thought that today's matter was definitely over!
It seemed that just as he expected, Gu Sheng would definitely be resistant to such an outrageous request for cooperation, and it was even reasonable for him to directly refuse it.
But I never expected it!
Mr. Shen glanced at Director Gu with a frown!
I watched Gu Sheng’s face become worse and worse, his brows knitted tighter and tighter, and he actually turned around and said, “We agree”? ? ?
us?
It's obviously just you who agreed to it, right?
Director Gu should have refused, right? !
But after all!
Shen Miaomiao is the boss of the company!
Now that the boss has agreed, why am I still hesitating?
Yan Shengteng stood up immediately!
"Thank you Mr. Shen for your support. It's a pleasure to work with you."
As if he was afraid that Shen Miaomiao would go back on her word, Yan Sheng quickly reached out his hand, his eyes revealing the relief of 'finally finding the great enemy':
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen. Our cooperation will become closer in the future. Yiyou will always be a partner of Golden Wind!"
Yan Sheng's words were rather obscure.
He knew that this time, Golden Wind was definitely in great danger.
So I gave Shen Miaomiao some reassurance in advance.
Tell her: Don't worry, even if you fail this time, the in-depth cooperation between us will not be terminated, and we at Yiyou will still support you to a certain extent so that your blood will not be in vain.
To this!
Shen Miaomiao quickly waved her hand to refuse!
Please don't make things difficult for me.
"We are already very satisfied that President Yan has this intention,"
"We only regret that we are too weak to help President Yan this time. We can only say that we did our best,"
"I hope Mr. Yan won't despise me."
"Hey——" Yan Sheng was flattered: "What are you talking about! Mr. Shen's words really make me feel ashamed!"
Looking at the business flattery between the two, Gu Sheng was speechless.
Hello.
Is there still one person here?
You two are flattering each other, do you think I'm a potted plant?
You two were clearly looking at me just now, so how come I have nothing to do with the decision-making process?
Gu Sheng was speechless.
He interrupted the fake flattery between the two and said, "Boss Yan."
"Hey, what's wrong, Director Gu?"
Yan Sheng turned to look at Gu Sheng, feeling a little timid, fearing that he would raise objections at this time.
However, Gu Sheng did not mention anything about escorting the masterpiece, but asked out of nowhere:
“Is the mini-game festival about to start?”
"Ah?" Yan Sheng blinked, not understanding why Gu Sheng asked this question: "Is...ah?"
"Can we still attend?"
Gu Sheng asked:
"After all, we are still considered a small to medium-sized company."
