Hearing this, the vice president couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Mr. Nie is wise!"
"I can only say that Mr. Pei is very careful. He is indeed one of the top game producers in the world, but his pride in the field of game production has also constrained him, making him distrust this excellent local company in Jingzhou.
Game companies turned a blind eye."
"Of course, this is not Mr. Pei's problem. After all, Wen Wu is the best. Every outstanding artist is arrogant and will always subconsciously ignore those who are not as good as him."
"Maybe Mr. Pei didn't expect that you would catch such an inconspicuous loophole, which is not even a loophole!"
Nie Yunsheng smiled slightly, his expression was quite helpful.
The gaming field is Tenda’s strongest field.
Finding a gap in a field that seems impossible to succeed is indeed something to be proud of!
"But... Mr. Nie." The vice president said after hesitating for a moment, "The project "Muli" is still in the development stage and should be kept confidential."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to obtain detailed internal information about this game!"
"Without this information, the influence it can create will definitely be greatly reduced."
"Internal leakage... the risk is too high."
Nie Yunsheng's idea was to publicize the news of "Military" and attract widespread attention, and then extend an olive branch and attack Tengda at the same time, and decide subsequent strategies based on Tengda's reaction.
But there is a prerequisite, which is that it must attract widespread attention.
Just the name of "Muli" and the reputation of Yan Qi's team are definitely not enough. Because this team has only made the mobile game "Blade of the Empire" before, and its reputation is not very high.
The sentiment and courage to turn to 3A are still not enough.
It would be best to have a ready-made promotional video or live game footage to attract widespread attention.
But these things are internal information, which must be highly confidential and not easy to obtain.
Nie Yunsheng said: "Haha, there is no need to worry about this, they will provide it themselves. As far as I know, "Shui" will release a promotional video and DEMO trial screen this weekend to do initial publicity on the Chaolu game platform.
"
"This is already a definite thing and will not change."
"It is precisely because of this news that I am even more convinced that the "Muli" project is actually short of money! But it has already reached a certain degree of completion. It is the best time for us to enter the project at this time.
"
The vice president suddenly realized: "That's it! Mr. Nie is wise!"
Although the project itself is confidential, it cannot be completely airtight. Some news will always leak out. What's more, the Anti-Tengda Alliance has so many resources at hand, and it is difficult to dig out confidential internal game resources.
But it's easy to get some information.
The project "Muli" was officially developed in November last year, and it has been more than four months now.
Although the content of this game is very large and it is an action AAA game. It is not small in size, but after all, there is a very mature official editor available. After all, nearly half of the development progress should be completed.
At this stage of development, it is actually a common practice of many game developers to release a promotional video or a trial screen.
On the one hand, it is to expose it in advance, build up popularity, and let players look forward to it; on the other hand, it can also attract the attention of investors and players, whether it is to attract investment or launch pre-sales, in short, it is to Methods can be used to withdraw part of the funds to alleviate the financial pressure.
Many foreign 3A masterpieces even release promotional videos half a year or a year in advance, mainly to accumulate popularity; while some domestic independent games are released in advance to gain player support and relieve financial pressure through pre-sales.
Nie Yunsheng feels that the game "Muli" must have both.
At the same time, this and the current status of Yan Qi's team verified each other, making Nie Yunsheng even more certain that Yan Qi's team must still be short of money. The game is only half-finished and requires a lot of funds to develop it to a complete state.
After this promotional video is released, how much attention it will attract and how much funding it will receive may directly determine the future completion of the game "Shuli".
This also provides Nie Yunsheng with an excellent opportunity!
"Seize the time to prepare and try your best to catch up as soon as the trailer of "Moli" is released, so that he has to cooperate with us!"
…
…
March 23, Saturday.
Yan Qi came to the company as usual, took a cup of coffee, and sat down at his desk.
Today is Saturday, so there are not many people in the company, only about one-fifth came.
Although it received investment from Yuanmeng Venture Capital, it is not a direct department of Tenda after all, so it is relatively free to work overtime. Yan Qi did not force everyone to work overtime, but some people were still like Yan Qi and worried about the project. So I would come over and work for a while on the weekends.
"Mr. Yan, are you going to release a promotional video and a trial video today?" asked the chief designer sitting next to him.
Yan Qi: "Yeah."
"What do we need to do?" the chief designer asked again.
Yan Qi shook his head: "No, the video has been recorded and connected to the Chaolu Game Platform. It will be uploaded directly to the video website. The promotional resources on the game platform will also be uploaded at the same time. There is no need to do anything."
"Everyone should just work hard to develop all the subsequent game content."
"Oh, by the way, don't work overtime too late today on Saturday. I'll take care of lunch. We'll go home and rest before 4 p.m. Starting next week, we will continue to finish "Muli" and try to make it as planned. The plan is to launch the full version of "Muli" in June."
The chief designer nodded: "Okay, Mr. Yan!"
Yan Qi looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was still a little worried.
Because he is not sure whether this video will have the effect he expected after it is released!
After a game project reaches a certain stage of development, it is a routine method to release a video to promote and warm up in advance. Although Yan Qi's team has received strong support from Mr. Pei and is not short of money at all, he lacks popularity and confidence.
What if players don’t buy into this game after it’s made? Wouldn’t that be very sorry for Mr. Pei?
Although this idea was approved by Mr. Pei, there will definitely be changes during the development process, and the final product will deviate from the original idea.
It's not a sure thing.
If he fails, it will definitely be his own fault and has nothing to do with Mr. Pei.
It just so happens that Chaolu Game Platform also has this intention.
Although the Chaolu gaming platform is very popular with players, and there are more and more excellent games on the platform, it has not found a good hot spot recently to increase the popularity of the platform step by step.
If you don't do something, you always feel like you're wasting your time.
Therefore, they also needed a hit game to excite players on the platform and bring traffic to the platform, so the two parties hit it off and decided to promote "Muli" to create a wave of popularity.
We just took this opportunity to release the trial video of "Muli" to reveal some limited information to players, which can not only increase the popularity, but also determine whether the current direction is correct.
If the response after release is mediocre and players don't feel anything at all, it means that the current development status of the game "Muli" deviates from expectations, and Yan Qi will have to figure out how to make major changes to it in the subsequent development stages.
Looking at the time, Yan Qi immediately clicked on the promotional video and trial video to view them.
…
A melodious melody sounded, and a bright red and somewhat eerie little flower appeared in the camera, swaying in the drizzle.
Immediately afterwards, the camera quickly zoomed up, and in the haze and confusion, there were countless temples and pagodas in the distance.
This scene makes people naturally think of the scene of "the four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, with so many towers in the mist and rain".
But such a quiet scene was suddenly broken. The tallest pagoda suddenly exploded violently. The entire pagoda broke from the center, collapsed, and flames shot into the sky!
The raging flames engulfed the pagoda. Not only that, other pagodas also ignited raging flames, instantly turning the scene into blood red!
The firelight and thick smoke were particularly dazzling in the misty rain of the southern country.
In a temple, a huge Buddha statue looks like an emperor, the Bodhisattvas on both sides smile like waiters, the king is serious, the warriors are powerful, and the Vajra has angry eyes. The huge Buddha statue is guarded in the center, which looks magnificent.
But at this time, all the Buddha statues fell over in the fire, collapsed and turned into ashes.
Soldiers holding sharp swords slaughtered the fleeing monks, but there were also powerful monks wielding Zen staffs and fighting with the soldiers in front of the collapsed Buddha statue in the fire.
The camera zoomed up and the scene quickly switched to the northern border.
The alien cavalry was launching a charge. They raised the scimitars in their hands, and the horses under their crotches also had red eyes, roaring and charging towards the opposite battle formation.
On the other side is the army of the Central Plains. Unlike the foreign tribes, although there are cavalry here, they are arranged on both wings. In front of the infantry phalanx in the center is a temporary walled city composed of sidecars. Archers are standing ready in the rear with their bows bent.
The general leading the army drew his sword and gave the order, and arrows rained down!
The two sides fought fiercely together, with the generals leading the troops constantly giving orders, and the soldiers around them changing their formations, as if a magical power was poured into their bodies, supporting them to fight hard.
At the rear of the battle formation, the great Confucians were swiping ink and chanting the Constitution of Heaven, and streams of awe-inspiring righteousness merged into the battle formation.
A foreign cavalry saw the Confucians at the rear of the battle formation, and rushed over to attack Huanglong. However, as soon as they came in front of the Confucians, they revealed countless flaws and were easily killed by the guards.
The camera switched again and came to a small village on the border.
An old Taoist priest walked into the village holding a fly whisk in one hand and a magic sword in the other.
There was silence all around, except for the crows pecking at the corpse, and the faint sound of shrill whimpering could be heard, sometimes far and sometimes near.
Suddenly, a ferocious demon suddenly rushed out from the nearby house, grabbing the Taoist priest with its dark claws!
The Taoist priest calmly threw out a charm and turned it into a chain, locking the demon and ghost tightly. Then he slashed out his long sword and sealed his throat with one sword.
But then, the black death energy gathered in the village, and more demons appeared, and there were even huge monsters several feet tall that wanted to eat the Taoist priests alive!
Pills, talismans, formations... Taoist priests have endless methods, but countless demons still surround him and gradually engulf him...
In the end, the Taoist priest leaned his sword on the ground, his body covered with scars. But around him, there were piles of corpses of demons and ghosts.
Suddenly there was a cry in the quiet night. The Taoist priest followed the sound to find the source of the cry and found that it was a baby hidden by his parents.
The Taoist priest picked up the baby and left the village.
The blazing flames ignited and burned everything. Along with the sad melody, the title of the game appeared in the blazing fire: "Military"!
