Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 482: A mind-blowing idea
Zhou Dongsheng freely instilled his wild and creative ideas into Brandon Green.
"Oh my god, Persia, it turns out that Chinese people know the Spring Festival best. These selling points combined with Spring Festival activities will definitely bring a strong Spring Festival atmosphere to Chinese players. We can even set up a Spring Festival suit. How about using Tang suits?"
Brandon Green couldn't help but be inspired by Zhou Dongsheng's wild ideas. Once his imagination was opened, Brandon Green's ideas were also led by Zhou Dongsheng.
As for holiday suits, the Christmas suits developed by foreigners around Christmas are well-known to everyone, both in reality and in games.
Even if you don't play games, you can see them frequently in movies and TV shows, not to mention some adult works. The red and white Christmas suits have a unique appeal (funny).
Even short video platforms were once popular with Christmas costume challenges. It has to be said that this festival does occupy a very important position in the world's mainstream culture.
So Brandon Green followed his train of thought and naturally thought of the Spring Festival suit. For foreigners, the Tang suit is indeed a very representative Chinese costume.
Of course , it is still a question whether this "Tang suit" refers to the Zhongshan suit or the formal Tang suit.
"That's good, but if this kind of festive and distinctive costume appears in a battle royale game, wouldn't it seem a bit out of place?" Zhou Dongsheng asked, touching his chin.
Although it sounds very exciting, Zhou Dongsheng still hopes to maintain a moderate balance between profit and gaming.
If we act too hastily and end up ruining the game, wouldn't that be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?
This is a cash cow with great potential. Zhou Dongsheng doesn't want to slaughter the cow and eat beef just for the sake of momentary satisfaction. As long as he can fill his stomach with one meal, Zhou Dongsheng can still make sense of it.
"This is easy. We just need to organize a limited-time Spring Festival event and add this limited-time holiday costume to the game supplies. It can also be regarded one of the gimmicks of the event."
Brandon Green thought about it and realized that it did affect the overall military style of the game, so it would be better to take a compromise and make a limited edition costume for the holiday event.
"Well, this is more reasonable, and it can also test the players' evaluation and reputation, so that we can make adjustments and optimizations to the content of the event in the future..."
Zhou Dongsheng nodded with satisfaction and added a little more. At this moment, a flash of inspiration came to Zhou Dongsheng's mind.
"How could I forget the most symbolic feature of the Spring Festival!" Zhou Dongsheng shuddered. This feature is also one of the biggest differences between the Spring Festival and Christmas, the two new year festivals in Eastern and Western cultures.
That is the combination of the twelve zodiac signs and the Spring Festival.
Although there are twelve corresponding constellations in Western culture, the meanings they symbolize are completely different .
Although some other countries in the Eastern cultural system also have their own zodiac signs, and they are slightly different from the Chinese system, but in terms of popularity, the Chinese zodiac signs are indeed the undisputed number one.
This may also be due to the lost cultural relic of the Twelve Animal Heads.
And when we think of the Year of the Chinese Zodiac, combined with what Brandon Grann said about the “Spring Festival Limited Event,” what limited edition symbol could be more representative than the Chinese Zodiac?
In this regard, the best teacher Tengda performed a hat trick and once again inspired Zhou Dongsheng.
If you make gun skins, they will be too ordinary. It would be better to go for rare zodiac accessories.
Since I have decided to build a jewelry trading platform in the future, I naturally have to spend more time on it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng drew something crooked on the notebook, and this action naturally attracted Brandon Green's attention.
"Hey my old friend, it shouldn't be that difficult to create such an ornament, right? I decided to use it as the ultimate prize for the unboxing reward in the Spring Festival limited event."
"And make it a unique and out-of-print ornament representing the Year of the Monkey Spring Festival, which will only be produced in activities during the Spring Festival and will no longer be available online in the future. How about that?"
Zhou Dongsheng enthusiastically expressed his ideas and also gave a brief explanation of the concept of the twelve zodiac signs, which is very Chinese in nature.
Brandon Green, an old man who follows the local customs, immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "I understand, boss. The twelve zodiac signs are very interesting and can fully represent the cultural characteristics of China."
“I think that with the launch of the overseas version, this kind of unique content with oriental culture will also be favored by many overseas players…”
Brandon Green said this seriously, but there was a hint of flattery in his words.
Zhou Dongsheng doesn't care about this. It's true that he is not as successful as others in cultural exports, but it doesn't stop Zhou Dongsheng from putting some effort in this area and making some small contribution.
The most important thing is that we can earn money while standing still.
After a fierce brainstorming session, Zhou Dongsheng brought out all the creative ideas and thoughts he could think of.
After discussing for most of the day, Zhou Dongsheng still had no chance to experience the unboxing system. He rubbed his hands and prepared to start the formal experience.
After clicking on the airdrop box, a prompt popped up, "Are you sure you want to open the airdrop supply box?" Zhou Dongsheng clicked "Yes" without hesitation.
There was a very mechanical sound of gears rolling, and the airdrop box opened. The scrolling display was exactly the same as that in CSGO, with a stream of gray-blue accessories flashing by, and there seemed to be a hint of red flashing by.
Finally, it very realistically stopped on a battle-damaged red submachine gun skin, and an introduction to the skin popped up.
“UZI丨Hongwen: The Uzi submachine gun is currently widely used around the world. Its light weight and easy operation make it a very effective close combat weapon. It can often bring unexpected results in close combat. Its high rate of fire can produce explosive output, but you should also pay attention to the risk of Hongwen exploding!”
Zhou Dongsheng exclaimed, "Wow!" This battle-damaged skin actually produced a legendary effect in starting a team fight. In the future, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't imagine how this skin would be played by players.
However... Zhou Dongsheng said it was easy to open and suggested to continue to increase the efforts.
Brandon Green looked at Zhou Dongsheng staring at a battle-damaged skin, and thought that the boss was dissatisfied with the unboxing system, so he couldn't help but speak honestly.
"Boss, this trial version is unboxing to test the unboxing system, so the drop rate follows the most realistic drop rate..."
"It's okay. It's better to be authentic. I'll continue to try." After saying that, Zhou Dongsheng rubbed his hands. How could this unboxing not have a sense of ceremony?
He immediately turned on the music player and played a simple and crude song "Good Luck Comes". As the magical music sounded, Zhou Dongsheng continued to enjoy the unboxing.
"Oh my old friend, please don't mind. This is called a sense of ritual in our China. It is also the favorite unboxing metaphysics of many players..." Zhou Dongsheng explained in a serious manner.
"I don't mind at all, boss. This is the most real state of a player. I will also pray for God's blessing when I open the box." Brandon Green couldn't help but smile sincerely.
On this point, Eastern and Western cultures have reached a consensus.
