Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 608: Being a Fun Person
"Hey, how come it's a monkey's tail? What a slutty thing! What do you mean you must get the slutty thing of the baboon? No, I have to grab one too!"
On the other hand, in the Saozhu live broadcast room, which ranks first in popularity on the Panda platform, Liu was also checking out the latest skins launched in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with great interest.
"This barrage is too ridiculous. The host asked me to wait until the pig's tail comes out before I can grab it? That will take me forever. You won't allow me to collect the full set of the twelve zodiac animals, right?" Liu laughed like a pig and chatted with the barrage while starting the lottery with great interest.
As the fastest rising popular game on the current live streaming platform, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can be said to have made the muddy waters of the live streaming platform even more muddy.
The original top game anchors have basically been completely occupied by anchors related to League of Legends, which also brought the first batch of stable audiences mainly composed of players to the live broadcast platform.
However, as the saying goes, old love is not as good as new love. For the player group, freshness is more important than anything else, not to mention that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is so charming and alluring, and it is free for you to enjoy.
Who can resist such temptation? After a large number of League of Legends players couldn't help but have an affair, they were immediately fascinated by the slutty PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
With the diversion of a large number of League of Legends players, League of Legends, which originally dominated the game live streaming, has lost its position and has been taken over by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
At the same time, after giving birth to a large number of strong new anchors, after feeling the threat from the next wave, the original top game anchors had to bow down to traffic and began to take into account the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds as well.
Just like players who can’t stop getting addicted once they’ve tasted the novelty, game anchors who have tasted the sweetness of traffic will naturally choose a more advantageous direction.
After all, seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the most important part of human nature.
As a free competitive game, technology is undoubtedly its most important element. For new anchors, becoming famous through technology is the easiest shortcut.
Today's top game anchors have proven that this path is an effective one.
However, for game anchors who have already stood at the top position, they have already relied on technology to complete the original accumulation of traffic and formed their own style and fan audience.
This is undoubtedly their greatest advantage, and if they still insist on using technology to compete with latecomers, they will undoubtedly fall into the misunderstanding of "using their own weaknesses to attack others' strengths."
After all, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is already another competitive gaming project. Even for professional players, there are only a few who can shine in multiple projects.
As strong as Jordan was, when he brought his talent to baseball after winning three consecutive NBA championships, he also suffered a setback in his athletic career.
Fortunately, the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is not just about showing off your skills, especially with the launch of the accessories trading system, there are also typical examples of Mo Zi and Curly Baboon successfully transforming themselves through this system.
This undoubtedly shows people another shortcut, which is to spend money and draw prizes, and these contents are undoubtedly popular with the audience.
Moreover, the top game anchors who have been the first to reap the benefits of live streaming are also the most capable of doing this after completing their early capital accumulation.
Live streaming has enabled them to turn their original expertise in playing games into a means of making a living, and they have gone from being lazy playthings to being celebrity anchors. They have earned money and indirectly improved their family status...
This radical change has made them cherish everything they have worked hard to get, and apart from their skill in playing games, they have no other strengths to show off.
Therefore, it is obviously very cost-effective to invest a part of the money earned in their own business. After all, they can still earn it back through this.
Others spend money on in-game currency and lose everything, but the anchors spend money on in-game currency and are obviously contributing to their careers!
What's more, the accessories trading system provides ordinary players with an opportunity to make money. What if they can become as successful as Mo Zi and become rich?
Any profitable possibility will easily give rise to countless speculators seeking to profit from it, let alone the currently popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that is popular on all live streaming platforms?
Therefore, the second set of skins launched online at this juncture, especially with the annual limited scarce attributes of the twelve zodiac signs, gives this set of accessories a unique uniqueness.
Value is artificially assigned, and with artificially assigned value, even something that seems worthless has a basis for commodity circulation.
As long as this value system has a stable audience to support it, this kind of product can continue to circulate.
Of course, if the value system collapses, then the value of such things will quickly return to their original worthless state.
There are countless similar examples , whether it is physical goods such as tulips, Clivia, Tibetan Mastiff, trendy shoes, blind boxes, etc., or financial products such as subprime bonds and stocks.
To some extent, there seems to be no difference, it is just a matter of strength of value system.
As long as there are always fools in the market willing to take over, the value system will always exist. After all, no one will think of themselves as the fool.
What remains is nothing more than a competition of whose story is more touching and more acceptable to people.
Now, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been pushed to the forefront. As a large number of players flock to the game, the popularity is rising steadily, which also means that tradable virtual accessories have a huge premium space...
Coupled with the Internet cafe league, the follow-up of major e-sports clubs, and the future official league, the booming e-sports concept will undoubtedly provide strong value support to the market.
Rounding off, isn't this the "stock market"? (Funny)
While some leeks are just simply thinking about spending money and changing skins for fun, some retail investors have already regarded it as an investment and are eager to enter the market.
In addition, the two top players on the platform, Baboon and Saozhu, took the lead in the lottery to compete for the so-called first legendary accessory limited to the Year of the Monkey in the entire server, which made the monkey tail become popular before it even came out.
"If any of you brothers have won the prize, please contact the host directly. I will take any amount of money you give me!" The rich Curly-haired Baboon declared in the live broadcast room that he was determined to win.
Under the spread of the "message eunuch", it soon reached Saozhu's live broadcast room, and Saozhu immediately slammed the table and said: "Me too!"
With the joint efforts of many parties, it has become a grand occasion where everyone adds fuel to the fire. With this kind of popularity, the daily sales of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in China alone have successfully exceeded 100 million!
At this point, the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' terrifying ability to make money has completely begun to show its edge. When this data came out, both the QQ Games and the colleagues of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds were shocked.
Perhaps the fledgling PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds cannot be ranked among the most profitable online games, but its daily sales of over 100 million are enough to surpass the vast majority of established online games.
Moreover, unlike old games that are about to die and are living off their past glory, because PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is just a fledgling, its future potential is especially unknown, so the future is promising!
In the overseas market, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", as a free game, has directly rushed to the top of the sales list of the Steam platform like a rocket!
Perhaps it is precisely because "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is free that a group of foreign players, while calling it a conscience, are afraid that such a fun game will go bankrupt due to lack of money, so they have started their passionate consumption.
There are even posts on some gaming forums that spontaneously call on everyone to spend money to support this conscientious game, which is really hilarious.
Despite this, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds only generated tens of millions in net revenue in overseas markets, which seems dwarfed by the domestic version.
But considering that they make money from swordsmanship, it seems not difficult to understand why they can top the sales list of the Steam platform.
When Brandon Green told Zhou Dongsheng the good news with joy, although it was satisfying to earn a small goal in a short time, Zhou Dongsheng would no longer be overjoyed by such a small amount of money.
On the contrary, he calmly comforted Brandon Green, "Oh my old friend, this is nothing to be excited about. It's not surprising that we can achieve this with such an excellent game, and I guarantee that this is just the beginning..."
"The most important thing for us is to operate this game well. Now that we have money, we must optimize it well and give our customers the best gaming experience. After all, customers are our gods!"
Listening to Zhou Dongsheng's calm words, Brandon Green couldn't help but stand in awe and was impressed by his boss's vision.
However, when I left the office with such respect, I vaguely heard undisguised laughter coming from behind me...
I must have heard it wrong! Brandon Green shook his head and continued to return to his job with his head held high.
This skin has just been released, and it has achieved such a good effect. If the boss reveals the little easter eggs hidden in it, what kind of sensation will it cause?
Brandon Green is very much looking forward to this.
After seeing Brandon Green off, Zhou Dongsheng opened the small refrigerator in his office, which was filled with all kinds of... Coca-Cola, both in glass and aluminum cans.
Zhou Dongsheng slowly took out a bottle of glass, opened the ice maker beside him, and put a few crystal clear ice cubes in the whiskey glass.
Zhou Dongsheng poured Coca-Cola into a high-end crystal whiskey glass, listened to the pleasant sound of bubbles, took a sip slowly, and sighed deeply.
Hey, that’s the taste, so comfortable!
Perhaps this is what is called financial freedom. You can freely control your own preferences. No matter how valuable the wine glass is, it can only hold a Coke.
Well, isn’t the happiness of rich people so plain and boring? Zhou Dongsheng sighed.
I became more and more eager to film this subject and use it for my own benefit.
Since he created his personal account on TikTok, he has never updated it except for posting that one marketing video.
Even so, Zhou Dongsheng easily achieved the achievement of gaining one million followers. Now, this account with only one video still ranks among the top in terms of fan base on Douyin.
Even if we look at the value of a single video, Zhou Dongsheng is definitely a unique presence on the platform.
It just so happens that it’s perfect to use this account for something interesting. Instead of being high and mighty, it’s better to mingle with the people. This kind of self-deprecating and humorous content will definitely have an unexpected effect.
What's more, with the group of talents and internet celebrities in his current company, they will be inexhaustible in terms of showing their faces or providing program effects.
Of course, the screenwriter team that the audience cannot see or touch is the most important content cornerstone supporting this series of short videos.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng touched his chin and asked Li Jiana to invite Yang Fei over.
Last time, I dictated the movie I had watched, and Yang Fei turned it into a script. The result was not bad, but it was far from that of a professional screenwriter...
But when it comes to short video editing and directing, that is definitely Yang Fei's forte, so there will be absolutely no problem in entrusting this important task to Yang Fei to polish it.
Yang Fei came to Zhou Dongsheng's office happily. Now he is a popular figure in the eyes of the boss. He was promoted by Zhou Dongsheng himself, and now he is entrusted with important tasks again and again.
The promotion and salary increase have been achieved. How long is it before I marry a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman and reach the peak of my life?
Yang Fei pushed the door open and asked proactively, "Boss, are you looking for me?"
"A Fei, please sit down," Zhou Dongsheng waved with a smile, and then pointed at the Coke on the table.
"Want a drink? A cup of Coke and an ice cube, although not much, but when they are combined together, you can see that they are delicious food..."
A tribute to the famous director Arthur's Family Dinner.
Although he didn't know what the boss was up to, Yang Fei was still flattered and sat down, drinking a glass of iced cola that Zhou Dongsheng personally mixed.
Maybe it was a psychological factor, Yang Fei felt that this was simply the best cola he had ever tasted in his life, just like the popcorn he had when he was a child, it contained huge energy... cough cough.
"I showed the script I asked you to write last time to a director, and the director was very satisfied. I plan to spend 50 million to make it into a movie. You have made an indispensable contribution to this!"
Zhou Dongsheng made a joke, and Yang Fei waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, the story was told by the boss, I just wrote it down and polished it, how can I get any credit..."
In his heart, he was secretly astonished by his boss's wealth, as he asked for 50 million right away.
"Hey, without your screenwriting skills, I can't write a script. It just so happens that I have an idea that I want you to help me polish. I plan to make it into a series of short videos..."
Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject and went straight to the point.
“I plan to personally star in this series of short videos and post them on my TikTok account!”
Yang Fei was shocked when he heard this. The boss actually asked him to be the screenwriter for the short video work in which he personally starred?
Being entrusted with such an important task, isn't this a recognition and trust in my abilities?
Yang Fei immediately patted his chest and said confidently: "Boss, don't worry, leave it to me, I will definitely write it for you!"
"Hey, don't rush to promise. This style is a bit special. It's a black comedy with ridicule as its core, boldly satirizing current news... You can try to be more open in your creation!"
Zhou Dongsheng explained the key points to Yang Fei in a simple and clear manner, and then added another sentence.
"Oh, I've already thought of a title. Let's call it 'Zhou Dongsheng's boring life', and end it with 'The life of rich people is so plain and boring'."
"You can refer to [Papi Jiang]'s videos. Oh, by the way, why didn't I think of this? You can also ask Papi Jiang to be the co-writer. She is more experienced in this area..."
Zhou Dongsheng touched his chin and thought, before Yang Fei could follow Zhou Dongsheng's train of thought, he suddenly realized that the cooked duck flew away?
