Chapter 126 Doomsday, New Theme
Jiangcheng Film and Television Base.
Anna, who was filming a movie, also received the news of the game's popularity.
"Anna, come and take a look! The poster you endorsed has gone viral!"
Agent Sister Yun rushed in from outside, her face full of excitement.
"The fire has spread out of the circle? What does that mean?"
Anna, who was sitting under the light, looked back in confusion, and the director and all the staff members also focused their attention.
As a top agent in an entertainment company.
They had rarely seen Sister Yun so excited.
"It's that game, the one you endorsed called It Takes Two, it's a hit on the Internet!"
Sister Yun didn't care about anything else. She walked into the studio with the tablet and handed it to Anna.
Just one glance.
Anna saw that the game poster she had posted on Weibo before had been replied and forwarded by millions of people.
She remembered that it was only four or five hundred thousand some time ago.
Now it has doubled!
When I clicked on the comments below, I saw that they were all discussions about the game "It Takes Two", and even people from other circles came.
It can definitely be said to be a real hit.
This is very different from what they originally thought.
At that time, they just wanted the popularity to not be too low, so that they could explain to the company.
But this game gave them such a big surprise!
Is the gaming industry so popular now?
Just as she was thinking about it, a call suddenly came from the company and Sister Yun quickly picked up the phone.
"Xiaoyun, you did a good job this time."
"We don't know much about the gaming industry, so we can discuss anything."
"Well, next time something like this happens, you don't need to ask for our permission, just do whatever you want."
"Okay, okay... Got it, I understand. Thank you, Director."
Snap——
After hanging up the phone, Sister Yun took a deep breath and her arms were shaking a little.
Director of the Company.
He actually bowed to her!
If this had happened in the past, she would never have believed it.
But now it was actually happening to her, and she finally understood how great the impact of this matter was.
"See, I told you that Honghuang Studio is different from other companies."
After learning the whole story, Anna's lips curled up.
She looked so proud, as if she owned the studio, that Sister Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes at her:
"Alright, alright, I know you have good vision. I won't stop you next time if this happens."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. This incident has brought you a lot of popularity. If you make good use of it, you may be able to make it into the top class this year."
A first-rate movie star, their net worth is far beyond what Anna can compare to now , any one of them is a big name.
If Anna can successfully squeeze in, she, as an agent, will also benefit, so she is naturally very concerned.
This game studio is called Honghuang.
We have to take it seriously.
…
Time flies.
The craze for the Big Three releasing their second-generation consoles lasted for more than half a month before gradually subsiding.
Thanks to the accumulation and promotion during this period, the sales of several Honghuang games have achieved a qualitative leap.
Except for a few relatively niche games.
Several games including Monster Hunter, Need for Speed, Sekiro, It Takes Two, etc. have all achieved the million-player achievement.
Especially the Monster Hunter that was released first.
The sales volume even reached a terrifying level of over 5 million.
Become their well-deserved first IP in the prehistoric world!
"Clap for Lao Li!"
Led by Chen Lin, the employees in the conference room burst into applause.
Since the development of Monster Hunter, a total of two versions have been launched, and they are basically maintained and updated by the Dawn team led by Lao Li. They have made the greatest contribution and naturally deserve praise.
"Well, this is all thanks to everyone's usual efforts. I am just playing a supervisory role."
Old Li stood up, waved his hand, and said modestly.
"So do you guys still want your bonus this month?"
Old Song's teasing voice followed closely.
Old Li was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "Yes!"
Everyone laughed. This guy was indeed so honest.
After the commendation ceremony, the meeting began to get down to business.
Old Song stood up in place of Chen Lin and said, "After this month's promotion, the three major console platforms have basically stabilized. There shouldn't be any other platforms that can compete with them."
"So our next strategy is to increase investment in consoles, and go the route of dual platforms of PC and consoles, supplemented by VR and AR."
"In this case, the cost of game development will be much higher." said the team leader at the side.
Because PC and console have different operating methods, when making games, you have to develop both keyboard and controller modes, which will indeed increase the cost a lot.
Lao Song glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about that. The momentum of the three major console platforms is very strong now, and the player community can definitely support this market. If we don't make multi-terminal preparations, we will be in a passive position."
"There is one more question."
Another team leader interrupted: "With the rise of consoles, many manufacturers are now starting to develop console games. Since we are going to increase investment, what type of game should we make next?"
Anyone who can make it in this industry must have a few good games.
You can log in to the host side by just slightly changing the operation mode.
For example, Changyou, which has cooperated with them, has released more than ten or twenty games at a time, both large and small.
Even if the individual sales volume cannot compare to theirs.
The total amount is terrifying.
What's more, the fairy-tale games that Changyou made before were not that weak either.
So judging from the number of games alone, their foundation is still far behind.
"Regarding the new game, I have also been thinking about it recently and have quite a few plans, but I haven't decided on a theme yet."
At this time, Chen Lin, who was sitting in the first seat, spoke.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"Mr. Chen, do you have any new ideas?" Old Song asked on behalf of everyone.
"Yes." Chen Lin nodded, "I still have a few plans in hand, but considering that the industry is changing so fast, I haven't decided which one is the most suitable one to bring out now. I'll think about it for two days."
"That's right. After all, this is related to the development of a new platform, so we must be cautious."
These are extraordinary times.
Although they have become famous through several games, it is not the time to take it lightly.
There are still a lot of big companies out there that have not taken any action yet and are waiting for some big moves.
Especially Suoni's side.
The Big Three will definitely try to make up for the loss they suffered in the competition this time, so it would be better to get some information before making a decision.
So soon, the new game was put aside and other issues and plans for the studio's development continued to be discussed.
An hour later, the meeting ended.
Chen Lin looked thoughtful as he walked towards the office.
In the office area next door, employees were still busy coming and going and didn't notice him passing by.
"Hey, did you guys watch today's news? It's from across the ocean."
"I've seen it before. I heard that a train derailed and poisonous gas leaked. Many people were evacuated."
"Ah, will it flow toward us along the air current?"
"It shouldn't be this far away, right? But I can't say for sure over there. Maybe some kind of monster will mutate into something."
"Haha, why don't you just say the end of the world."
The employees chatted while working, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
The topics of their conversation were all over the place, and they even talked about the hot news that had just been reported, the toxic gas leak on the other side of the ocean.
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Their conversation suddenly brightened up Chen Lin's eyes as he was passing by.
The end of the world!
It seems that this kind of subject matter is not popular now?
Even if there are, many of them are natural disasters such as meteorite impacts, volcanic eruptions, and glacial tsunamis.
But there was only one thing missing.
Zombies!
