Chapter 179: Help from Dongshanju
In the heat of miracles
The first day of the exhibition came to an end quickly.
Not surprisingly, Miracle Company showed off its big moves right from the start, and no other manufacturer could compete with it, making it the most popular exhibition area on the first day.
Various large-scale peripheral handshake activities attracted traffic from other exhibition areas, making the exhibition the most popular one at the time.
Only a few leading anime exhibition areas can barely compete with them.
"How abominable! They actually used such despicable means to lure our people away!"
On the way back to the hotel, Xiaoli and Xiaowei were indignant and very unhappy with today's exhibition.
At the beginning, the situation of their exhibition area was very good and there was a tendency for it to become very popular.
As a result, a series of large-scale miracle events took place, disrupting their rhythm.
Even other manufacturers have become supporting roles.
The tourists at the scene only knew about the miraculous "Girls Connect" and had no interest in patronizing other games.
"With the lead set by Miracle, other manufacturers will definitely change their strategies and invest more resources. The next two days will probably be even more difficult." Lao Li said worriedly.
The exhibition lasts for three days, and the first day is usually a warm-up.
Then the main course is served on the second or third day.
By then, the intervals between programs at the central booth will be shortened, and manufacturers will carry out various large-scale activities, which will attract at least half of the customer flow.
After all, humans are the kind of creatures that love to join in the fun.
Never mind the guests.
Even if they have free time, they will go to the central area for a stroll.
"I didn't expect Miracle to spend so much money on this exhibition. It's a pity that we didn't reserve the activity spots at the center's booth in advance. It seems that we have to change our strategy for tomorrow."
Chen Lin walked in front and said thoughtfully.
"Do you want to release that in advance?" asked Lao Li.
This game was mainly developed by their Dawn Team, so he naturally knew something about it.
"Well, although it's a bit early, it's not impossible to release some of it first." Chen Lin nodded and finally made a decision in his heart.
Cuckoo——
Just at this moment, I heard a sound of my stomach growling.
A young employee nearby was embarrassed and covered his stomach.
"I was so busy talking that I forgot you guys haven't eaten for a long time. Come on, I'll treat you to a good meal before you go back."
"oh!!!"
Cheers instantly spread throughout the square.
Then, surrounded by their employees, they went to a famous restaurant nearby, ready to have a big meal to reward themselves.
But I don't want to.
When I first walked in, I happened to run into another familiar group of people ordering at the counter.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Chen? What a coincidence."
Dongshanju team leader Xu Ning was stunned at first, then greeted with a smile on his face.
"So it's Team Leader Xu. What a coincidence. Are you eating here too?"
During the day, Chen Lin had a brief exchange with the other party, so they knew each other.
I just didn't expect that we would be so destined to meet in a place like this.
"We just finished work and are planning to have a meal to celebrate. Since we are so destined to meet, would you like to join us, Mr. Chen?"
Xu Ning directly extended the invitation, obviously not intending to drink.
Chen Lin narrowed his eyes, knowing that the other party had something to discuss.
Considering that Dongshanju is more familiar with the market in Qizhou and the two studios have never had any bad relations, he readily agreed:
"That's great. We can talk about what we learned from today's exhibition. Xiaoli, go and take their order. Just decide what you want to eat."
After giving some instructions, he went into a private room nearby with Lao Li, Xu Ning and several other senior executives of Dongshanju and sat down.
After a few pleasantries, we got straight to the point.
"Mr. Chen, you don't know that after what happened to Miracle today, our small studios really have no way to survive."
Xu Ning said as he poured wine for Chen Lin.
As soon as these words came out.
The people around were also filled with indignation, but they could do nothing about it.
"Old Xu, what you said is a bit nonsense. I remember that your Dongshanju's main business is in the field of immortal heroes and women, right? It has nothing to do with miracles."
Old Li spoke directly.
Just as he said, the reason why Dongshanju participated in this exhibition was that it just happened to have a two-dimensional fairy-tale game, so it just sent someone to promote it.
There will be no impact on the main business at all.
Moreover, Dongshanju’s strength is not weak. It would be too modest to say that it is a small studio.
"Haha, what you said, Manager Li, who doesn't want their game to be seen by more people? And anyone with a discerning eye can see that Miracle's move this time is targeting you, Honghuang, right?"
After pouring the wine, Xu Ning smiled and sat back in his seat, his expression somewhat meaningful.
As a rising star in the past two years, Honghuang has received no less attention in the industry than Dongshanju.
Dongshanju has avoided .
But the prehistoric world is different.
Not only are the game styles diverse and cover all major markets, but the momentum of its rise is much faster than that of ordinary studios, making it difficult not to notice the big guys who control the market.
In his opinion.
Honghuang is just too popular and doesn't know how to restrain himself.
This decision is exactly the opposite of Dongshanju's.
"Captain Xu, do you have any suggestions?" Chen Lin asked with interest, but did not refute the other party's words.
"I don't have any suggestions, but I have something that you Honghuang want. I wonder if your studio is interested in cooperating?"
"What is it?"
"Activity spots at the center booth!"
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
You know what, he was just thinking about how to buy a ticket to get on the bus and get a spot for the central booth activities.
After all, it was a well-known large-scale exhibition in the country, and many places had been booked long ago, so he couldn't get one even if he wanted to.
At the same time, there were some surprises.
Dongshanju, which has always been low-key, actually has this spot and wants to give it up.
As if Xu Ning had guessed his thoughts, he said awkwardly, "Mr. Chen should also know that this kind of quota is actually not very useful to us. Even if we really hold a large-scale event, it will probably be suppressed by Miracle and other big companies. It is better to use it to exchange for something substantial."
"Then what do you want?" Chen Lin asked.
"I'd like to borrow your Honghuang's chief designer!" Xu Ning went straight to the point and stated his purpose.
But unexpectedly.
As soon as he said this, Lao Li next to him almost spit out his wine and started coughing violently while holding the table.
Xu Ning: ???
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Xu Ning and others were all puzzled and didn't know what was going on.
"No, you're right, but your request may be a little difficult to achieve." Old Li raised his head and glanced at Chen Lin beside him.
Outside, everyone only knows that they have a very talented game designer in Honghuang, and almost any game he designs can become a hit.
But I don’t know.
This chief designer happens to be their boss.
This is also the reason why those manufacturers come to poach people but can never get the core design.
"I want to know what you are doing with our chief designer."
Chen Lin didn't say it out loud, but asked calmly.
Xu Ning and the others looked at each other and finally sighed:
"Mr. Chen, you may not know that the gaming industry has been booming recently, and there are more and more competitors. Our main game project suffered a setback right after it was launched, so we would like to ask the chief designer of your studio to help improve it and see if it can be reborn."
"Of course, even if it fails, our transaction terms will still stand and the fees will be paid according to the market price."
A good design plan is like a solid foundation that can support a gaming building.
But the entire gaming industry knows that designers are hard to find, and good designers are even more valuable.
Obviously Dongshanju encountered such a problem and had to seek external help.
"The latest project launched by Dongshanju could be Swordsman III, right?"
Chen Lin was quite familiar with the market and immediately guessed which game it was.
"It is indeed the Swordsman III." Xu Ning nodded in agreement. "I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks of this deal?"
"If you just want to help modify the design, that's no problem. OK, I'll take the deal."
"real!?"
Xu Ning and others became excited.
They are very clear about the abilities of Honghuang's chief designer, and maybe it is possible to revive their project.
Chen Lin didn't waste any time and asked Xiaoli outside to bring his laptop and open it in front of them.
"I happen to have a design direction for a fairy-tale game. Since there's no problem with cooperation, I'll briefly introduce it to you."
"That would be great."
Several people nodded, and all their eyes fell on the computer.
Afterwards, Chen Lin began to explain to them the ideas for changing Swordsman III, and his voice continued to echo in the entire private room.
The more Xu Ning and his companions listened, the brighter their eyes became.
In the end, his eyes were wide open, and he was deeply shocked by Chen Lin's bold design concept.
"Great! This wardrobe design is tailor-made for Xianxia games!"
"Adding a costume changing system, as well as props and special effects, and the relationship between master and apprentice, why didn't we think of it?"
"And this achievement collection reward appearance is simply a magic weapon to increase player stickiness!"
They never expected that Chen Lin would open up a completely new path for the fairy-xia game in just a dozen minutes.
Most of the fairy-tale games nowadays focus on fighting and scenes.
The word "xia" is exquisite.
But I forgot the other word "xian".
Just the original pictures of a few flowing costumes were enough to bring up fairy-like scenes in their minds.
Coupled with their unique light Kung Fu gameplay.
It is simply a major innovation that has captured the hearts of countless girls!
As long as there are more female players in the game, why worry about a lack of male players joining in?
This move undoubtedly saved their game!
They were so excited that they had no appetite for food.
After toasting Chen Lin for several rounds and saying many words of thanks, he hurriedly paid the bill and left.
As a result, that evening, the official Swordsman III team urgently announced the closure of the server and prepared to rebuild the game.
A game name change trailer was also released at the same time.
"Swordsman Love III" will be reborn and return in two months!
This move caused quite a stir in the entire industry and among players.
Especially the pictures of the fairy-like character costumes below, which sparked widespread discussion and became the focus of attention of countless female players.
The game was already getting cold.
There is actually a trend of resurgence.
…
In a blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Chen Lin received an expedited notice from Lao Song.
After arranging a few employees to pick up the goods from the logistics department, he took the rest of the people to the exhibition area and started the second day of the game exhibition.
Before the venue opened and tourists poured in, they also met Xu Ning and others who had just arrived.
They all had dark circles under their eyes, looking like they hadn't slept all night, which scared Old Li who was standing next to them.
"Old Xu, what happened to you guys? Did you play poker all night last night?"
Old Xu waved his hands awkwardly: "Don't mention it. I'm busy with business. I almost finished it until the early morning. I have already notified the official to transfer your event quota. Remember to tell Mr. Chen for me. If you can't stand it anymore, go to sleep first."
After saying that, he ran into the lounge .
It seems that I was really tired last night.
