Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 491: A final burst of light?
Perhaps many domestic game players have already suffered from Tenda for a long time, and when they saw that there were warriors who rejected Tenda's offer, they couldn't help but be shocked and left passionate messages in the comment section.
"What the hell, what game is so awesome? Just for this reason, I want to play it..."
"It's nothing special. I just want to support this hero's heroic act."
"As a public beta player, I just want to say that this game is really fun. It's no surprise that it was targeted by Tengda... And if it were in Tengda's hands, I dare not imagine what the game would become..."
"How can you become stronger without charging money?"
There are countless comments like carp crossing the river. As to how many of them are fueled by the pig farms, it depends on one's own opinion.
Among the many comments, some different voices emerged.
"Hey, I found out that the largest shareholder of this game company is Zhou Dongsheng."
"Which Zhou Dongsheng?"
"It's the young man at the Wuzhen dinner party who was very popular on the Internet a while ago..."
"Oh, it's him. No wonder he's so tough. He's really young and energetic..."
As these comments emerged, some people's focus shifted and they began to discuss Zhou Dongsheng's glorious deeds.
For some unknown reason, Zhou Dongsheng gained some reputation without doing anything.
But there is no doubt that amid all these discussions and attention, the promotion for the official launch of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was extremely successful, especially with the word-of-mouth support from a number of public beta players.
The news of the official launch of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds continued to gain popularity, sweeping through game communities where many gamers gather, such as GamerStar and 17173, and caused a large number of gamers to start paying attention to this domestic game.
Compared to the focus of many netizens, game players are undoubtedly more realistic and simply care about whether the game is fun or not.
The vast majority of game players have a glimmer of hope for domestic games in their hearts, hoping that domestic games can become popular. However, in the development over the years, this hope has been shattered time and time again.
This may be the reason why most players feel disappointed with Tengda. It is the largest game company in China, occupying the most resources and money, but its output is lackluster.
Although the three major game companies in their hands dominate the domestic game market, none of them is independently developed by Tenda, all of them are agents.
Although it was recently announced that it would take full control of Riot Games, the parent company of League of Legends, it does not change the fact that this is a gaming company from the Beacon Country.
Therefore, even though Tenda dominates the domestic game market, in the eyes of many game players, Tenda is not the king, but more like a big devil, making people grit their teeth and feel helpless.
Therefore, Zhuchang's move to add fuel to the fire can be said to have hit the soft spots of many players just right, making many players unable to help but pay attention to this battle royale game.
Whether it is the introduction on the game's official website or the personal experiences of many public beta players, this unique battle royale game is enough to bring unprecedented freshness to many gamers.
Compared to the role-playing games that everyone has already gotten tired of, as well as the first-person real-time shooting games, this novel gameplay is still quite attractive.
The most important thing is that this is a free game with almost zero trial cost. No matter how exaggerated the publicity is, the truth will ultimately be revealed through your own hands.
You can only tell whether it is a mule or a horse by taking it for a walk, and it just takes some time to download it!
You will know whether it is fun or not if you try it.
With this publicity campaign, the number of players who made reservations on the game’s official website skyrocketed, and after just two days, it broke the 10 million player reservation mark!
This simple and crude data reflects the popularity of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" most intuitively!
In addition to attracting the attention of many players, this data also caused a wave of "surprise among friends" within the gaming industry.
After all, in their view, the PC game market has already tended to be saturated, and a large number of PC game players have moved to the mobile game market. Even Tencent, the leader, has announced a strategic transformation and abandoned the development of PC games.
Therefore, in their opinion, it is not an exaggeration to describe the PC game market as declining. It was once glorious, but it is clear that there will be no chance of achieving glory again in the future.
However, no one expected that the dead PC game market would suddenly revive, and a highly anticipated PC game would appear out of nowhere. Was it a last gasp or a revival?
This has caused some game companies to think deeply about life and the industry. Is it that PC games are not doing well, or is it that we are not doing well?
Of course , at a time when the outcome is still uncertain, it is not ruled out that this is just a marketing campaign, but if this overwhelming publicity and heated discussion are all water, it is definitely a huge investment.
If you weren't confident in this game, wouldn't you be afraid of losing all your money with such a big promotion?
The essence of a game company is to make money. To them, making a loss to gain publicity is obviously unlikely.
If nothing unexpected happens, when the game is officially launched, there will surely be many game companies researching and analyzing the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". Wouldn't they know the truth once they find out whether it is true or not?
As the biggest winner, Zhou Dongsheng, who was behind the scenes, looked at the heated discussions and attention on the Internet leisurely, his mouth almost crooked with smile.
Once the game is launched, all this money will be spent. With his absolute confidence in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Zhou Dongsheng is naturally not worried at all about a situation where "much ado about nothing comes out".
After all, the game mode of eating chicken has been tested by both history and the market. It is not likely that you will suffer a Waterloo if you pay for it in advance, right?
Even if the domestic market cannot absorb it in a short time, the overseas market will always pick up. There will always be a time when the accumulated strength will explode. At worst, we can just export and sell domestically.
Just as Zhou Dongsheng was imagining a bright future, the phone rang. He looked at the phone and saw it was Wu Jing calling.
"Hey, it's really easy to make money as your spokesperson. The props and scenes prepared for the movie can be used..." Wu Jing's cheerful voice came over.
Compared to the legendary advertisement of "If you are a brother, come and chop me up", the requirements of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" with battlefield elements are indeed exactly the same as the movie that Wu Jingchou is going to shoot.
Whether it is the scene or the props, most of them can be used directly, just add the game elements of "PUBG".
With the presence of Director Wu, a professional director and actor, the shooting progress can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds compared to the hassle of hiring a young actor.
"Brother Jing finished it so quickly. Professionals are really different." Zhou Dongsheng praised with great surprise.
"Hey kid, stop trying to sell me on this. I won't buy it. Just wait for your audition and see how I torture you..." Wu Jing said with a laugh.
"That will only work if I can get past you, Director Wu." Zhou Dong joked cheerfully.
After a few pleasantries, I hung up the phone. After finishing the filming, I will catch up on the progress in post-production so that it can be released just in time for the game to be launched, which is icing on the cake.
