After the game department finished reporting the good news, they started to report players' feedback. Yao Yuan flipped through a piece of information and frowned: "There are even sudden disconnections. Didn't you add a server?"
"We have prepared 50 sets of public test servers, which can accommodate 120,000 people at the same time, but we did not expect so many people to play, so we have temporarily added them."
"What about the new area? When will it open?"
"It will be opened next month. Currently there are Sichuan (Tianfu Hotline), HLJ (Northeast China Netcom), Shaanxi (Northwest Mangrove), and East China (Green Digital)."
"Where's the mall?"
"Opening in July, here are the details."
Gu Jiaming handed over a document, Yao Yuan looked at it, shook his head and said: "It's too conservative!"
He pointed to a prop and said: "For example, this speaker, the big speaker speaks to the whole district, and the small speaker speaks on the channel, you only sell it for 10 cents, who are you looking down on? Change the small speaker to 30 cents, and the large speaker to 5 yuan!"
"Five yuan? Isn't it too expensive?"
"We who make games must believe in the financial strength of the players. Listen to me."
The large and small speakers in "Audition" are classic props.
A small speaker costs 30 cents, a large speaker costs 5 yuan. There was a rich competition among local tycoons, who competed in brushing the big speakers. They would spend thousands of dollars each time by brushing hundreds of them.
Later, the couple mode was opened up, a social atmosphere was formed, and the speaker became an indispensable "courtship and love-showing prop".
A bunch of young people in their teens and twenties, frugally save money and buy a loudspeaker, and then shout on the channel: "︷"Looking for a wife, めロ恈爱,綪唔爱"︷".
Yao Yuan played "Audition" in his previous life. He didn't go too deep into it, but he still remembered it because the community atmosphere created by the non-mainstream was so special.
He has also played many other games, and was cursed after being tricked by the whole family's plan. Now that he is in charge, of course he has to snatch other people's umbrellas away and kick them.
"The family system, this is the most important, we must completely integrate MaiMai Space with the game in the future!"
"The props have been changed to have a time limit. They expire in seven days and you have to buy them again. If you make them permanent, who will buy them again?
Don’t get props with attributes and bonuses first. If you do them in the early stage, no one will play them. Now just dress up and look cool. Find some reliable designers and design some clothes that young people like, and don’t just be ordinary.”
"In the future, we will also prepare a couple model. It will cost 180 yuan to get married, and 180 yuan to separate. Let them experience the pain of marriage at a young age!"
Hiss!
The game department gasped at the North Korean cold noodles, the players are so miserable!
"In addition, continue to send me press releases, pull "QQ Hall" over, and step on it hard. By the way, take the initiative to contact that censorship committee and ask for a green pass!"
The game department reported directly to him, and everyone went about their work after receiving tasks.
This so-called green pass started with the severe crackdown on online games last year.
Last year, various official departments launched a heavy attack on online games. One of them was that "imported games need to be reviewed," and a review committee was established under the management of the Ministry of Culture.
The concept of "green game" was formally proposed.
What is a green game? It is actually a less successful official attempt to classify games.
One set is static evaluation standards, including violence, pornography, horror, social morality, cultural connotation, etc.
The other set is dynamic indicators, including PK behavior, illegal procedures, chat system civilization, internal social system and order of the game, etc.
The final results are divided into five categories: all age groups, junior high school students and above, high school students and above, 18 and above, and risk categories.
Those that reach the first three levels are called green games.
At that time, all games, large and small, relied on this. For example, Shi Yuzhu directly wrote "green" into the name of the game, which was called "Green Journey".
This set of standards itself was thought up by the brain, and it is the same as film censorship.
The funniest thing is that many games have already been released for public testing before being rated. It’s like a Category III movie is released, and then you belatedly say, oh, this is a Category III movie, and people under 18 are not allowed to watch it!
It’s fun!
But it is an official system and has authority. Yao Yuandian sent "Audition" just because he wanted to get a green pass.
…………
"Audition, the best casual game of the year is born!
Since it was put into operation in China in May, "Audition" has created a new category market for domestic dance simulation games, and has repeatedly set the record for the highest number of people online at the same time for large-scale casual online games, which currently reaches 200,000!
According to statistics from 99 Company, 70% of the players of "Audition" are women, which greatly exceeds the current male-to-female ratio of online game players in China.
The game "Audition" has exquisite graphics, cute characters, easy operation, low machine configuration, various auxiliaries, and super colorful decorative props, which will surely set off a new wave of leisure life style.
In contrast, Tencent claimed to be independently developed last year, but actually copied "QQ Hall" from "Pao Pao Hall". Currently, the number of people online at the same time is only 100,000, so it dares to boast that it is the best casual game. It is really shameless!"
Throughout April, 99 and QQ were throwing shit at each other.
By May, 99 had not let go of the opponent, and had to step on them no matter what they did. One side was well prepared, the other side rushed to the challenge, and was generally very passive.
The key is that the core tracks that the two sides compete for - Maimai Space and QQ Space, the latter is really not strong.
Now that "Audition" has come out again, all the big guys, including Xiao Ma, finally understand that it turns out that Yao has put his money on a game and wants to overtake in a corner.
Overtaking on corners is the unanimous evaluation of Yao Yuan by all parties after he made his debut and became popular.
Take the mall as an example. His decisive victory is never within the battlefield. Instead, he relies on Muzi Mei, Daolang, Charlotte Trouble, E2, etc. to achieve huge added value and lead the mall's turnover to leap forward.
This time, it’s still a familiar technique.
You thought I was going to fight for space with a knife and a gun?
Of course not, my added value lies in "Audition" and in the non-mainstream. I bundle the three and take off together.
Faced with such an unreasonable offensive, Xiaoma adjusted her strategy decisively. QQ space needs time to improve the platform. It is not competitive for the time being, but QQ is!
I won’t compete with you with space, I will compete with you with QQ!
…………
As a result, the local promotion team represented by Cheng Wei suddenly became more stressed.
Because they found that QQ's local promotion has begun to take action, the same distribution of prefecture-level cities, the same attack on Internet cafes - don't think that QQ does not have local promotion, their early investigation of QQ's popularity was to send people to Internet cafes to check the QQ usage rate
of.
"From Friday to Sunday, at 12 noon, Q coins will be given out on time! QQ show will be given away! Members will be given away!"
Suddenly the attention was taken away.
Reported to the headquarters, Yao Yuan cursed: "Damn it, you have a lot of traffic, you are amazing, it is really difficult to handle!"
To fight with QQ, you must be prepared for the long term. It takes time for "Audition" to develop users, and it also takes time for non-mainstream culture to brew.
Yao Yuan thought about it and first issued an order to his local promotion team: "Continue to promote the game and space, don't be disrupted, just hold on steady."
The implication is that we have little capital, so let’s not fight hard for the time being.
Then he told the technical team: "Send a message to Maimai users, saying that the visitor function has been activated. In order to increase the number of visits to your space, please fill in your homepage address in your QQ information."
