Chapter 269(2/2)
"Ah..."
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
"Indeed, this looks really not enough."
...
The scale of tens of thousands of people is actually a basic standard for Internet giants. By 2021, the total number of Penguin employees had exceeded 70,000.
Moreover, Penguin is even more exaggerated than Bomi. It directly applied for a piece of 2 million square meters of land to build an "Internet city". In the future, nearly 100,000 Penguin people work here.
Cao Yang can only say that Bomi is still in the rising period and has a long way to go in the future.
...
With the new building, the enthusiasm and efficiency of employees will also increase a lot.
Previously, Bomi's employees were scattered in five places in the imperial capital.
There is part of Zhongguancun, part of the North Third Ring Road, and part of the North Fourth Ring Road.
It is particularly inconvenient for everyone to communicate.
Especially Liu Guangran, he has always been thinking about working in the same building with the customer service department with many girls. He has also privately condemned the boss for being unkind and not considering the psychological feelings of the company's single employees at all.
This time, Cao Yang finally realized their dream.
The customer service department is upstairs of the program department. Liu Guangran can see beautiful and beautiful customer service ladies as soon as he goes up the floor.
But if this happens, Liu Guangran still maintains his single aura—
Then I can't blame me.
...
After Bomi's "Shan Hai Jing·Breath of Candles" was released, the next product was quickly put on the release schedule.
The company's Honor of Kings 4
It will be available in mid-March.
At the same time, during the release period of Honor of Kings 4, Dongdao will broadcast a very important animated work in the Kings series at the end of March -
"Honor of Kings·Night of Fate"
This anime started last year with Nao Mushroom as the script and handed it over to a company called ANIPLEX Co., Ltd. for animation production.
The scheduled schedule will be broadcast on major East Island TV stations in early April.
Yes, it is the very famous Fate/stay night in his previous life who had Artoria as the protagonist and set a historical record.
...
Because of the great success of Destiny Night, Bomi specifically allowed Destiny to be developed and operated as a new IP.
In this way, the Destiny series will return to the track that should have in the previous life.
That is the former FATE series.
But people in this world always like to add the title of kings before FATE.
On March 15, Honor of Kings 4 will be released on the AIR game platform.
However, compared with the previous Kings series of games, Kings 4's results can be said to be very unsatisfactory.
After it was released, less than 30,000 sets of Honor of Kings were released on the first day.
This is still the sales volume worldwide.
Then in a week, it barely exceeded 200,000.
However, Bomi team with a lot of operational experience has been able to foresee the ending of this game—
Whether it can exceed 1 million sets is still an unknown number.
2001 to 2005 was a golden period for the development of galgame. After 2006, galgame seemed to have entered a recession.
This is not just a problem with a work called Honor of Kings, because the products of Yezishe and KEYshe have also encountered similar situations.
The sales volume is not as good as before.
What's more, the King Series has almost reached its end of life.
It is quite difficult for a galgame to be able to produce 4 generations in a row, with a total of 6 works.
Because galgame can be said to be a one-time thing, after all, the male protagonist cannot remain unchanged and will always be Wei Feng. The result is that the popularity of the character accumulated in the first Honor of Kings will disappear in the next product. For example, A Ke is deeply bound to the male protagonist Wei Feng and cannot become the target of the sequel to the male protagonist.
Then we have to ensure that after each generation of male protagonists, the image of the female protagonist is as full of popularity as it is, and can become a classic.
This is actually a very difficult thing.
Historically, only the Final Fantasy series could barely do this.
The images of several generations of heroines are very classic and can also become a popular heroine in globalization.
But Honor of Kings 4 obviously has not reached this level yet.
This galgame can only be considered a normal and is not good or bad in the beautiful girl’s love game.
For players, they have experienced several generations of baptism of the king, and their world view settings and character settings are already in a burnout period.
It is indeed a bit difficult to pull it up.
At the end of March, Honor of Kings 4 has not yet exceeded the 500,000 mark.
This product has become the least popular work in the King of the Series ever.
...
Lai Yuling was sad for a long time. When Cao Yang found her, this guy was hiding in the conference room and quietly wiping his tears.
"Forget it, it's not your fault." Cao Yang pulled out a tissue from the table next to her and handed it to her.
"Wuwu...why isn't it...I'm so embarrassing...It was obviously...it was sold so well before...it ended up hitting my hand here."
This work was originally planned by Han Wei, but halfway through, Han Wei was transferred to the "Gun Girl" project team to be responsible for the development of the Gun Girl, and the rest of the work was completed by Lai Yuling.
As the boss of Kings Studio Group, she has no choice but to do so.
Originally, Lai Yuling thought that the painting, character setting, story content and camera sense of the entire King of Glory 4 were quite good, but she did not expect that she would sell such a bleak result in the end.
"Sister, what else do you want to do with 500,000?" Cao Yang pulled a chair and sat in front of her. "This is already a very good result. At least it is no problem to help us earn tens of millions."
“Woo woo woo woo…”
When Lai Yuling heard Cao Yang say tens of millions, she cried even more sadly.
"In the past, we had hundreds of millions and tens of billions, but now we have become tens of millions of millions. How can I get through the company in the future?"
"Well……"
Cao Yang rolled his eyes, "You are not satisfied with this? How many companies can't make tens of millions of dollars in a game? This is really good.
And I'm honest, it's not your fault for this matter. The environment of the times is like this, and galgame is about to decline."
"ha?!"
Lai Yuling raised her head in horror, as if she had heard something particularly terrible.
Cao Yang quickly added, "Only speaking, the galgame, which simply uses visual novels as the main carrier, is about to decline, and future players will definitely seek more excitement.
"Gun Girl" will become our new masterpiece."
"Really?" Lai Yuling couldn't believe it.
It’s not that I can’t believe that the girl in the gun can do it well, but I can’t believe that the galgame that once was at its peak actually declined so quickly.
"And, any series of games has its own lifespan, and it is not easy for us to persist in 4."
At this moment, an electric light flashed through Cao Yang's mind.
Cao Yang thought for a while and said, "In this way, we have another chance to save a little bit, which is the last glory of Honor of Kings. You should prepare quickly and we will go to the reporter to hold a press conference to put a not-so-perfect end to our Kings series."
"ha?!"
Lai Yuling was confused.
Chapter completed!
