Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 581 Special Events
"At the same time, the trophy can also use the classic props in the game - the frying pan. There is a picture of the rising sun printed on the pan, so it can be named the 'Dongsheng Cup', which is more in line with the theme of the e-sports event..."
Brandon Green's inspiration seemed to have suddenly opened up his mind. The little game easter egg that was originally tailor-made for the boss also came in handy here.
This flattery was so good that it could be used again. Brandon Green couldn't help but applaud his own little brain.
Even Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh, this is what we call professionalism.
However, there are many examples of incorporating game features into tournament trophies, the most typical of which is naturally the Immortal Shield from Dota.
Although this game has a high entry threshold and is difficult to operate, which is very discouraging for most novice players, it has always enjoyed considerable popularity thanks to e-sports events.
Especially in terms of tournament prize money, it has always been the undisputed leader in e-sports events, with prize pools of tens of millions of US dollars, which is also a unique level in e-sports events.
Using the frying pan, the soul equipment of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, as the competition trophy was an original idea of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds competition, which was something Zhou Dongsheng expected.
But when the three words "Dongsheng Cup" came out, Zhou Dongsheng was really shocked. He didn't expect that the name easter egg on the frying pan could be used here.
But you know what, Zhou Dongsheng really fell for it and tried to evade it with an embarrassed look on his face.
"This isn't very appropriate. Naming it after me doesn't have anything to do with the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds..."
However, the inability to extricate the upward arc of the corners of his mouth clearly exposed his inner thoughts.
In this regard, the old man Brandon Green understood what he meant and said solemnly, "Of course there is a connection. The core of the battle royale game is that only the one who survives to the end can become the winner."
"This is completely consistent with the spirit of e-sports events, and the implication of the Dongsheng Cup is that only the final winner is qualified to see the sun rise the next day..."
Listening to Brandon Green's serious nonsense, Zhou Dongsheng had to admit that he was indeed convinced.
"Since you said so, old friend, I won't refuse..." Zhou Dongsheng said reluctantly.
"Oh my dear boss, that's great. After all, this honor cannot measure your contribution to this game..." Brandon Green said righteously.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed necessary to give some appropriate benefits.
In addition to being able to better stimulate the subjective initiative of employees, it also makes the flattery smoother, allowing Zhou Dongsheng to maximize his consumer experience.
The two of them couldn't help but smile at each other, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
"By the way, boss, I also want you to take a look at the content of the Spring Festival activities, and by the way, I want you to give me some valuable suggestions..." As Brandon Green spoke, he turned the screen to Zhou Dongsheng.
As the first holiday promotion activity for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , and in line with local customs, this Spring Festival activity is tailored for the Chinese market, and Brandon Green has put in a lot of effort.
Not only did we consult the technical department of the pig factory, but we also solicited Spring Festival elements from the Chinese people in the team, and specially created a series of Spring Festival themed skins and accessories for this purpose.
Compared with the first set of unboxing prizes which were just a trial run, the unboxing content has been greatly enriched both in quantity and quality.
Even from a player's perspective, Zhou Dongsheng thinks this set of Spring Festival themed skin accessories is full of sincerity and worthy of praise.
But after looking around, the Spring Festival theme is indeed a good selling point , especially catering to the tastes of the Chinese player group, and may have some effect on sales.
However, since it has missed the extremely critical Spring Festival opportunity, and even the Lantern Festival cannot be caught up, this belated "Spring Festival theme" seems a bit out of place.
Especially after looking at the whole set of prizes, Zhou Dongsheng felt that it seemed to lack a hot spot, such as [98K Gold], which could be properly marketed.
Therefore, even if the quality of the entire set of prizes is acceptable, Zhou Dongsheng still feels that they are mediocre... and there is also an indescribable strange feeling.
There seemed to be an inspiration lingering in his mind, but it was somewhat elusive due to the thin layer of gauze separating it. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought. What was it?
His fingers subconsciously tapped rhythmically on the table. Zhou Dongsheng's look made Brandon Green's smile freeze on his face.
After all, this set of sincere Spring Festival themed skins is a work carefully created by Brandon Green to cater to the Chinese market.
In order to overcome cultural differences, Brandon Green took a lot of effort to hand in this complete answer sheet.
In addition, several Chinese colleagues in the team and the technical department of the pig factory who acted as examiners all gave high evaluations, which gave Brandon Green enough confidence.
But judging from Zhou Dongsheng's reaction, he seemed not very satisfied with this set of works? This made Brandon Green a little uneasy.
Just when the atmosphere in the office fell into an eerie calm, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly slammed the table, breaking the brief silence in the office and scaring the other two.
"I've thought about it, my old friend. Since the Spring Festival has passed, I think it's obviously inappropriate to use the Spring Festival theme again..."
After removing the veil, Zhou Dongsheng immediately grasped the inspiration. It can be said that he had been searching for it among the crowd for hundreds of times, but when he looked back, the answer was so simple.
Although Li Jiana was also startled, she still translated faithfully.
"Ah? Boss, do you mean to make this skin obsolete? Or should we wait until next year to use it?" Brandon Green asked in confusion.
"Nonono, of course not. The Spring Festival is the most important festival for us Chinese, but it is just the beginning. There is a totem that gives us a unique meaning every year..."
"That is, the twelve zodiac signs!"
Zhou Dongsheng said excitedly that if he missed the Spring Festival, he would have missed it, but the Year of the Monkey had just begun, so instead of having an inappropriate "Spring Festival event"...
It would be better to directly tailor-make a limited-edition item such as the "Year of the Monkey Commemorative Box" as a "Year of the Monkey Event" unique to the Year of the Monkey!
Whether in terms of activity content or intention, it undoubtedly breaks away from the limitations of the word "Spring Festival".
Moreover, starting with the positioning of the twelve zodiac signs, the content of annual activities for each subsequent year can be solved in one step, and it can be tailored to the theme of the year of the twelve zodiac signs.
"Also, we can use the twelve zodiac signs as characteristics and tailor-make a piece of jewelry with the most symbolic significance every year. It can even surpass the prohibited grade and become the rarest jewelry of each year..."
"For the Year of the Monkey, how about using the shape of a monkey's tail? It's called the Golden Monkey Celebrating Spring. The level can be set to a unique legendary level, and a set of legendary accessories for the twelve zodiac animals can be added..."
"We can even combine it with the Dongsheng Cup held every year and engrave the zodiac sign of that year on the championship trophy to distinguish it. Of course, I think that in my lifetime, no team will be able to collect all twelve zodiac trophies..."
Zhou Dongsheng, with his imagination opened, talked eloquently, and as Li Jiana translated, Brandon Green's eyes became brighter and brighter.
This time, Brandon Green admired Zhou Dongsheng from the bottom of his heart!
