Chapter 253 The Iron-headed Director Lin and the Happy President Pei
It's over.
After listening to Ye Zhizhou's words, Wang Xiaobin basically gave up on the bonus.
If only the players of "Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition" were asked to rate it, then maybe the reputation would be very good, because this game is very conscientious.
However, tpdb's scoring rules also include scores from game media and ordinary netizens. These netizens will not play the game in depth at all. They only give scores based on the first impression of the "I am Fried Pig Trotters" advertisement. This score
Only those who can reach a high level will be evil.
After Yangyang Games was acquired by Mr. Pei, the first game failed miserably, leaving everyone feeling disgraced.
Could it be that we really have terminal cancer?
Mr. Pei has made a game that is very popular, and both have good word-of-mouth sales and good sales. Can such a talented producer not be able to lead Yangyang Games?
This is too hard to bear.
"Everyone, come to the conference room. Let me say a few words."
Lin Wan's expression was also a little disappointed. Apparently she had also seen the game data and knew how unoptimistic the current situation was.
But unlike others, Lin Wan was not disappointed to the point of depression. She remained calm, as if she had been mentally prepared for this.
Arriving at the conference room, everyone sat down one after another.
Lin Wan looked around at everyone and said sincerely: "Everyone should know the data on the first day our game was launched. It is very pessimistic."
Everyone was silent.
In fact, everyone present is very familiar with this scene, because when the original boss Du Ruijie was here, he often held this kind of pot-sharing + chicken blood conference when the game data was not good.
If there is a problem with the game, and there is a tendency of sudden death after it goes online, then there must be a big problem in some aspects, and the blame always needs to be divided.
The problem with "Hot-Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition" is that the micro-end approach is wrong.
Although the idea of micro-clients was first proposed by Wang Xiaobin, everyone unanimously approved it at the meeting, and Director Lin and President Pei both made the decision.
How to divide this pot?
Therefore, this meeting should briefly explain the matter of pot sharing and quickly enter the meat and potatoes phase.
The current situation of the game is worrying, and everyone must work overtime to reverse the decline as much as possible.
When the original boss Du Ruijie and the original chief planner Lao Liu were here, they would definitely ask everyone to turn on the 996 liver-breaking mode and make crazy modifications to the game.
Of course, there is no overtime pay. After all, the company is at a critical moment of life and death. It’s okay if you don’t share the difficulties with the company. How can you ask for overtime pay?
Several old employees sighed silently.
After all, it is the company acquired by Mr. Pei, and no structure has been changed. Once there is a problem with the company's operations, it will return to its original flavor.
Everyone's hearts sank, and they were ready to work overtime in the future.
However, Lin Wan changed the topic: "This is not everyone's fault. You don't have to blame yourself."
Everyone was a little surprised.
Director Lin didn't want to share the blame?
Although I think this is a good thing, if the game fails, someone has to stand up and take responsibility, right? Someone has to decide how to go in the future, right?
Everyone raised their heads and listened carefully.
Lin Wan continued: "Think about it, Mr. Pei has never made a web game. What he is best at is high-quality stand-alone games. But why did he acquire Yangyang Games, which has been losing money, and why did he acquire Yangyang Games after taking over Yangyang Games?
, have you been fighting against the original krypton gold game "War Hymn"?"
"Just to do a very risky thing with "War Hymn" and to do an experiment that no one has ever done before!"
"Mr. Pei hopes that players will no longer be slaves to money. He wants to change the tastes of players so that all players can enjoy the pleasure exclusive to rich players even without recharging money..."
"From game production to promotion, Mr. Pei is always moving towards this goal."
"We should have been fully mentally prepared long ago. Going against the odds may lead to failure."
"I believe that Mr. Pei must have been mentally prepared for this."
Lin Wan herself was confused about this issue when she first came to Shangyang Games, but later she figured it out.
The purpose of asking Zhang Zuting to shoot an advertisement is to attract enough web game players;
The purpose of building micro-clients, building a Tianxuan system, and reducing payment points is to cultivate healthy consumption habits among web game players.
Although such motivation is noble, it does go against the nature of web game players. Failure is actually inevitable.
There is no shame in failing like a hero!
Lin Wan's expression was firm: "So, everyone must not be defeated by this failure. We are not making a web game to make money. What we are doing is a very noble cause. No matter whether we succeed or fail, we will do it every time."
Everyone is a hero!"
After hearing what Lin Wan said, everyone felt much better.
We are not losers, but heroes who defy the odds!
Director Lin has indeed worked with Mr. Pei for such a long time and sees problems from a different perspective.
Compared with the original boss Du Ruijie, it is simply a matter of judgment.
Ye Zhizhou was also encouraged, and most of his initial depression has been reduced by now.
However, although morale has been restored, what needs to be done still needs to be done.
"Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition" does not make money, which is a problem that must be solved.
There are two solutions: one is to relax restrictions and let local tycoons top up the recharge; the other is to increase the current player base several times. As long as there are enough players and everyone buys stamina potions every day, that can also make Yang Yang
Games are profitable.
The former definitely didn't work, and it took a lot of effort to change it. We can't give up all our efforts when we encounter a little setback.
Then we can only think of ways to expand the player base.
The atmosphere in the conference room became heated, and everyone began to speak freely. Some said they wanted to change the micro-client model, and some said they wanted to make major changes to the game structure. Everyone was very enthusiastic.
Lin Wan listened carefully and said nothing the whole time.
Finally, she shook her head: "None of them are good. Our current plan is already the most complete plan, and I think we should stick to it."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Will it be a bit overwhelming?
According to Director Lin's previous analysis, she is right to think so.
The micro-end approach was finalized by Mr. Pei, and it has indeed improved the quality of the game. However, cutting the micro-end will lead to an incoherent game experience, and it is still treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and may not necessarily solve the problem.
It is true to say so, but is it really not going to change?
According to the current status of the game, there will be no hope if it is not changed, right?
Lin Wan's attitude was resolute: "No change. Don't worry too much during this period and have a good rest. We will observe it for a week. If the game data still does not improve after a week, I will think of other ways."
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other, and they could feel that Director Lin's attitude was very firm.
In this case, the others had nothing to say. After the meeting, they had to go back to their workstations to do their own things and wait patiently for a week.
If things get better after a week, everything will be fine.
If it doesn't get better...then I'm afraid we will have to make drastic changes.
Back in her office, Lin Wan also felt a little headache.
Although she boosted morale at the meeting and acted resolutely, she still felt unsure.
"In the past two days, take the time to go back and see Mr. Pei and ask him for advice in person."
…
…
Friday, September 3rd.
Pei Qian is checking the tpdb website in the office.
The website template was purchased, so the initial version was put up quickly.
Although it is still in the test phase, the current tpdb website is already in its prototype form and is almost ready for use.
There are dedicated staff who are discussing cooperation with other websites, and part of it has been completed.
For example, in terms of media ratings, we need to discuss cooperation with some game media; in terms of player ratings, we need to use the data from the esro official platform; at the same time, the URL of the tpdb website will also be updated to the game details page, so that players can pass each
Click on the details page of a game to rate it.
These experience optimization contents are quite long-term work and cannot be accomplished overnight.
At present, the number of visits to tpdb is still very low. Most of them are visited by Tenda internal employees and players from several games.
Because its popularity is so low, it has not even sparked much discussion.
Pei Qian is looking at the rating data of "The Power of the War Song".
At present, the total score of this game is 7.2 points. Among them, the consumer score and the netizen score are in a state of polarization. The consumer score has reached 9.1 points, while the netizen score is only a pitiful 4.3 points.
This means that players who actually spend money on this game are very satisfied with the game.
Most of the ratings given by netizens are due to Zhang Zuting’s advertisement.
These people didn't really play the game. They probably just accidentally clicked on the game's official website, saw the tpdb website from the official website, and then gave a one-star negative review.
Although the weight of these people is not high, after all, the current voting base is too low, so the ratings are still in a period of drastic changes.
According to regulations, a score of 6 to 7 is a C evaluation, and the bonus is 1% of the project investment. If the score is below 6, there is no bonus.
A total score of 7.2 can only be regarded as a B evaluation, and the bonus is 5% of the project investment.
A score of 8 or above is an A rating, with a bonus of 10%; a score of 9 or above is an S rating, with a bonus of 15%.
About 8 million yuan was invested in "Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition". Based on 5% calculation, the project team can get a bonus of about 400,000 yuan, which is about less than 10,000 yuan per person.
Pei Qian still feels a little regretful about this result.
Everyone tried their best to kill 8 million for me, so I only gave everyone a bonus of 400,000. It seems a bit unreasonable.
But the rules of tpdb have been set, and even Mr. Pei cannot operate in secret.
"It would be great if the rating of this game reaches 8, and I can spend an additional 400,000."
Pei Qian knew very well that the people at Shangyang Games could not be blamed for the low rating. The game itself was very conscientious and deserved a high rating. However, many netizens were disgusted with this advertisement and retaliated by giving low ratings without playing the game.
Overall rating lowered.
But there is no need to rush, because there is still time.
There aren't many users on tpdb right now, so the fluctuations in ratings will be quite dramatic. Maybe the netizen ratings of "Blooded Battle Song Power Enhanced Edition" will increase over time.
…
Lin Wan knocked on the door of Mr. Pei's office with some anxiety.
Although the key designs of this game were approved by President Pei, the current situation really made Lin Wan feel unsure.
Even though she was confident in front of everyone at Yangyang Games, she still felt unsure when she really wanted to see Mr. Pei.
"Please come in."
Lin Wan calmed down and pushed the door open.
She came here to report her decision, hoping to gain Mr. Pei's support.
Of course, since the revenue data of the game's launch were so poor, Lin Wan, as the director, was also mentally prepared to be held accountable.
However, after seeing Lin Wan, Mr. Pei had a faint smile on his face, and looked genuinely happy, as if he was welcoming a great hero!
