Chapter 192: The Creation of the Great Desolation
"How is it? What do they say over there?"
Honghuang, inside the office.
Seeing Chen Lin hang up the phone, Old Song, who was waiting on the side, spoke quickly.
This time the incident caused such a big stir and spread so quickly that even he was somewhat surprised.
It’s not like there weren’t some internet trolls out there who had come to discredit Honghuang before.
But this is the first time that it has been organized on such a large scale, so I can’t help but feel a little concerned.
"He said he would give us a satisfactory explanation."
Chen Lin looked forward with a deep gaze: "Tianyu is now in a difficult situation. They failed to manage their subordinates and affected the interests of too many people. Even if I don't go over to question them, they can't just sit there and do nothing."
If it was just a simple report to shut down a few websites, perhaps Tianyu could still suppress it through public relations.
But this time it's different.
In addition to those few websites, too many things have been touched, and it has reached a point where it cannot be undone.
Tianyu should be thankful that those people did not rush into Steam and other gaming platforms.
If it really causes turmoil in the gaming platform, it will not only affect the player community, but the entire gaming industry.
By then, I’m afraid it won’t be their turn to take action.
Tianyu would have to disappear from this world.
"According to what you said, it seems that there is no need for us to come forward?" Old Song said thoughtfully.
"No, it is absolutely necessary."
Chen Lin looked at the busy traffic outside the window and said, "I have seriously considered this since I came back from the last business discussion with Juying. Without the support of capital, we in Honghuang will always be inferior and nouveau riche in their eyes."
"In this case, we must become stronger. Whether in terms of strength or attitude, we must become strong enough to be feared by everyone!"
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Chen Lin slammed his hand on the table, his eyes sharper than ever before.
Old Song was secretly shocked, feeling like he had become a different person.
Sure enough, being in a high position for a long time will change a person's aura.
However, he was also deeply touched by these words.
We were too low-key before the prehistoric times, and we should indeed make some changes.
And they already have the capital!
The only thing to do now is to use these capitals to continue to expand Honghuang's influence to a point that no one dares to underestimate!
"What are your plans next?" asked Lao Song.
"Indeed."
Chen Lin returned to normal, smiling again: "Although this incident has a significant impact on us, it is actually a good thing. Thanks to them, we are now celebrities on the Internet."
"You mean... to take advantage of this traffic?" Old Song's eyes lit up.
"It can't be considered as exploitation, it's just some basic operations, just to spread our reputation. Next, you do this..."
Chen Lin opened his mouth slowly and told everyone what he was planning. His voice continued to echo in the office.
…
And just as the two of them were discussing patiently.
The heated discussion about this matter on the Internet is still in full swing.
Anyone with a keen sense of smell or who is well-informed can feel that the wind direction has changed today.
Not only did the number of abusive comments decrease, but even several whitewashing hot searches on the homepage were temporarily removed.
Even the previous Tianyu public relations intervention and the keyword control of Weibo Square disappeared, and the voices of counterattack suddenly became louder.
Now all those crazy fans were stunned.
Why did the momentum of the other side suddenly become so much louder?
Their original arrogance of biting anyone they saw began to weaken, and they could only fight back stubbornly in various places.
But... it's too late.
"From a small website more than a decade ago, to Tieba, and now to an overseas website, we have been pushed to the edge of the cliff step by step..."
"Now you are putting knives to our necks. If we don't resist, are we going to jump off the cliff? We have no room to live!"
In a certain voice channel, a young lady narrated her experience in a trembling but extremely stubborn voice.
She was one of the creators who suffered after her website was locked.
Just as she said, the website is their livelihood and also the last piece of land they stand on the edge of the cliff.
Now, someone has destroyed their jobs for such a ridiculous reason and is forcing them to jump off a cliff with a knife. This is simply trampling on their last bit of dignity!
The young lady's words undoubtedly expressed the thoughts of many creators, and immediately won cheers and support from the entire channel.
Just at this moment.
A message suddenly popped up on the channel.
"Brothers and sisters! Good news! The people above have issued an announcement!"
Yes.
Just now.
A heavyweight figure suddenly released an official blog.
"People's Daily: As a public figure, you should have the obligation to provide positive guidance to your fan base and not let the Internet become a lawless place..."
Even the People's Daily has spoken out!
All the netizens who saw this news were shocked.
If the previous quarrels among netizens were just minor ones, then the appearance of this heavyweight undoubtedly played a decisive role.
Finally they realized the seriousness of the situation.
What they didn't expect was that
It was published shortly after the People's Daily.
The official Tianyu Entertainment, which had disappeared for several days, also issued an apology, expressing deep regrets for failing to manage the affairs of its own artists.
The attitude was so sincere that he even @ed several victim companies including Honghuang at the end.
There was an uproar on the Internet for a while.
Everyone is guessing what kind of obstacle Tianyu has encountered.
After all, most of them are just spectators and don’t understand the ins and outs of it. They only know that Tianyu has definitely offended someone this time.
What a coincidence.
Just when they were discussing heatedly.
Honghuang Studio, which is at the center of this vortex, also suddenly issued an official blog.
#As a fellow creator, I understand how you feel. #
＃From now on, Honghuang Studio will create a comprehensive social platform exclusively for creators, where you can give full play to your creativity, game MOD, creative workshop, game strategy, chat gossip, original painting customization, copywriting, model sharing, self-made mini-games, and various customized services for manufacturers and players...＃
#Come on, join us in creating a new world! #
Beyond everyone's expectations.
What Honghuang issued was not a response to the incident, nor was it a statement asking for an apology.
Instead, it launched a new social platform of its own.
You know.
The most important thing about social platforms is traffic.
Only with huge traffic support and sufficient content can the social attribute be supported and attract more and more people to join.
And just so.
This incident brought unprecedented terrifying traffic to Honghuang.
Releasing it at this time is simply a stroke of genius, and it would be impossible to do it without lightning-fast decision-making ability.
More importantly, they also stood from the perspective of the creators, which immediately gave those displaced creators hope.
"Original painting customization, does it mean that I can publish my own portfolio on this platform to attract people to customize original paintings?"
“Even homemade mini-games can be uploaded?”
“There are so many useful communities. If this can be realized, it will definitely become a holy place for players and creators!”
"If you can really open up a new world for us to create, I will support you no matter what!"
"Wow! It seems to be common to all accounts in the prehistoric world. I can get a piece of DNF fashion!"
"Yu-Gi-Oh! Log in and get 5 card packs!"
In an instant, netizens were excited.
Especially the players of Honghuang game were extremely excited.
Because just by downloading and logging in you can get a lot of rewards, even many stand-alone ones!
For example, there are rare costumes for Monster Hunter, exclusive sports cars for Need for Speed, and unique characters for Breakup Kitchen.
Everything.
They are extremely attractive to players who are currently playing this game, and they are all rushing into the new platform.
Just half a day.
The number of people online soared to 7 million!
The exaggerated momentum finally made a number of manufacturers wake up.
There may not be many players of the game Honghuang, but all of their games are recent hot-sellers or small-hit hits, and there are more than ten of them!
Especially "Dungeon & Fighter", which entered the market some time ago, has more than 3 million online users.
Once all the players of these games come together, what a terrifying energy it will be!
Honghuang had actually laid such a big move without anyone noticing!
Now, he has used online public opinion to push his fame to the forefront, and no one can stop him.
"Hurry up, contact Honghuang immediately to discuss cooperation on joining the platform!"
"Honghuang's move is too ruthless, using so many games as a prelude!"
“Are they trying to take over the social media market?”
"Business opportunity, this is a huge business opportunity!"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
With the rise of the gaming industry, there will certainly be huge vacancies in the surrounding service industries.
Especially the social media industry!
Due to the explosive growth of games in the past two years, players need a centralized game service community to discuss, share, and even create various game content.
at the same time.
Major manufacturers have greatly increased their demand for original artists, plot copy designers, modeling materials, etc.
Manufacturers can’t find creators, and creators can’t find manufacturers.
This is the most embarrassing thing about the gaming industry right now.
Because surrounding service industries usually develop in the evening.
But once there is a comprehensive community that brings together all manufacturers, creators, and players, the result will be different.
Anyone can see the huge business opportunities contained therein.
This step.
After all, Honghuang was ahead of them.
This forced them to re-examine the prehistoric world.
…
And at this time.
Inside the Honghuang studio.
Lao Song, Lao Li and other managers were all excited and running between various positions, performing emergency maintenance on various errors that appeared on the new platform and responding to inquiries from other manufacturers.
They also didn't expect the response to this social platform to be so good.
Even better than any of their games.
As studio executives, they are well aware of the potential of this social platform, and it is not just about making money.
Instead, it ties the interests of those manufacturers together with Honghuang!
In this way.
Honghuang is equivalent to having a huge backing. Even if capital wants to touch them, they have to think carefully.
Invisibly enhance their voice in the industry!
"Mr. Chen, the new platform has just been launched and has not yet been named. What do you think would be a good name?"
The busy Old Li raised his head and asked Chen Lin beside him.
"We've already boasted so much, so of course the name is the crazier the better, so that they can truly remember us, so let's call it... Honghuang Kaitian!"
Chen Lin waved his hand and gave it a resounding name.
This name.
It will also be the biggest step forward for them since they entered the gaming industry!
