Chapter 116 Joining forces to cause trouble
Two new games entering the console market were quickly decided.
When the Dawn and Breaking Dawn teams received their game plans respectively, Lao Song, Lao Li and several other team leaders were extremely excited and immediately gathered people to start production.
The entire Honghuang studio fell into busyness again.
at the same time.
The news of the entry of the three giant hardware companies gradually spread, and many manufacturers also took action, preparing to increase investment in the host side and achieve multi-terminal interoperability.
And because the industry is booming.
In just half a month, a large number of new studios emerged and joined this battle.
However.
Just when all manufacturers are working hard to prepare.
There was a bombshell news suddenly coming out from Huanhai which had been silent for a long time.
…
"What did you say? Huan Hai and Suo Ni have reached a deal on cooperation?"
Inside Changyou's headquarters office, the operations director who received the news suddenly stood up with a look of surprise and doubt.
Standing in front of him was the employee who came to report. He said with a worried look on his face, "Yes, we just got the news from Huanhai as well. It is said that they started talking with Suoni two months ago."
"Two months..."
The director frowned and slowly sat back in his seat.
No wonder Huanhai hasn’t shown up in this period of time, and there wasn’t much reaction even when the new game encountered Waterloo.
It turns out that their focus is not here, but they have already established a relationship with Suoni.
"Huan Hai really made a good move this time. So, do they think that Suoni will win this competition among the three companies?"
"Although I don't know what their top management thinks, it seems to be the case. Should we respond?"
"No, let's proceed as planned." The director raised his arm. "If I'm not mistaken, Huanhai is trying to increase its influence by having a platform exclusive."
"Aren't they afraid that Soni can't compete with the other two? In this situation, even a fool would know that all platforms should be interconnected, right?" the employee smacked his lips.
However, the director sneered: "In this case, the whole platform is indeed better, but with Huanhai's current situation, he doesn't have so many resources to compete with us."
"Do they want to risk everything?"
"That's right. Although it is very risky to concentrate all resources in one place, it is the most effective way. However, there is a prerequisite, that is, Suoni can win this competition!"
The three giant hardware companies can be regarded as the leaders . They have been competing with each other for a long time, forming a three-legged situation.
This time, with their forceful entry, there will definitely be another fight.
Especially in the competition for exclusive games.
Whoever has more games and more exclusive games will attract more players and have a greater chance of winning the competition.
As an exclusive game.
The promotional resources that the platform can provide are naturally much larger than those for other games.
To put it bluntly, it’s a question of trade-offs.
If you want to connect multiple platforms, you won’t be able to get the best resources unless the game is really popular and can bring in huge revenues.
Weigh the pros and cons.
Changyou finally chose multi-platform interoperability, taking an opposite path from Huanhai.
"Whether we can suppress Huanhai depends on this time. I want to see what kind of game Huanhai can come up with as an exclusive!" A cold light flashed in the director's eyes.
Then he thought of something and said, "By the way, go contact Honghuang and see if they are interested in cooperating with us."
…
"cooperate?"
Chen Lin was surprised when he received a call from Changyou.
He didn't remember any intersection between Honghuang and Changyou.
"Yes, that's what our director told me. If your studio is interested, we can provide all the information about Huan Hai unconditionally."
A polite voice came from the other end of the phone.
After listening to this, Chen Lin's eyes gradually narrowed.
The director of Changyou is not a simple person. He actually knows that he has a grudge against Huanhai.
And he was so direct, providing inside information unconditionally.
It’s really... refreshing.
"Okay! Since you are so sincere, we at Honghuang will certainly not refuse. I will send someone to discuss the details with you at the right time."
joke.
How could he refuse such a good opportunity?
Although Changyou did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that they wanted to find someone to join in Huanhai. After all, the competition between the two companies has been going on for a long time.
With such an ally, even if he couldn't kill Huan Hai, he would at least skin them alive.
"Okay, I'll pass these words on to the director. Happy cooperation."
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
The two didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
Chen Lin sat in his seat, lost in thought.
If his guess was correct, Changyou should want to take advantage of the entry of the three giants to work hard on the cooperation with Huanhai and Soni.
What they have to do is simple.
We just need to increase the publicity and promotion investment for the other two companies besides Soni.
If they rely on games to snatch players from Soni, then Huanhai, which is exclusive to the platform, will naturally lose all its money and even affect its stock price.
This method is simple to operate, but it has an important premise.
That means they are playing the game well enough!
Fame is enough to have an impact on the gaming industry!
And these two points.
This is exactly what Honghuang and Changyou have.
No wonder Changyou suddenly found them.
"Originally I just wanted to expand the market in advance, but now it seems that I have to increase the publicity and promotion efforts."
While murmuring, Chen Lin picked up his phone and dialed a number on it.
…
The other side.
Jiangcheng Film and Television Base.
Anna, who became famous because of "Titanic", was sitting in the crew's shed, flipping through the heroine's script brought by her agent.
Now, she is no longer the small person who had to please others even when performing as an extra.
Instead, she successfully squeezed into the domestic entertainment circle by relying on her accumulated fame and the company's packaging, becoming a popular young star of the younger generation, and her daily schedule is basically full.
It hasn’t even started filming yet.
A large number of fanatical fans and news media have gathered outside the crew, and their status and position are no longer the same as before.
Didi——
At this moment, the phone next to him suddenly rang.
Anna, who was reading a script, picked it up and took a look.
Next second.
Her expression changed and she suddenly sat up straight.
The agent and crew leader who were negotiating the issue nearby turned their heads and looked over, looking very surprised.
You know, when those big crews came to her to film, she never showed such an expression, and even looked a little... nervous?
Could it be a call from some important person ?
In doubt.
Anna's call was also connected smoothly.
A familiar voice came from the other side.
"Did I disturb your filming?"
"Of course not. Mr. Chen called me suddenly. Is there a new movie to shoot?" Anna said with shining eyes.
She may not take other plays seriously.
But she must pay attention to the ancient drama.
Even if it was just a commercial performance to promote the game!
"There is indeed something I want to ask you for help with, but it's not about making a movie, but endorsing a game."
Anna became famous through the romantic movie "Titanic", and most of her fans are couples.
If she were to promote It Takes Two, the results would probably be very good.
