Pei Qian got up on time at noon and came to the company after lunch.
Just as I was about to enter the elevator, I suddenly thought that today seems to be the day when the gog client game is released.
So instead of pressing the button on the 16th floor, he decided to go to the game department on the 17th floor first and ask about the situation of GoG client games.
In terms of time, the PC version has been released for two or three hours, and the initial data should have come out, enough to give some clues.
"GOG client games will definitely not be as popular as mobile games."
"After all, the gog mobile game became popular because the development of mobile games lagged behind, and most mobile games were simply unplayable, resulting in a dimensionality reduction blow."
"The PC game is different. At the higher level, there are many old MM and FPS games, and players have extremely strong stickiness; at the same level, there are the veteran games "Shenqi" and foreign fast and popular ioi; at the lower level
There are also various rising stars.”
"With such fierce competition, gog client game, as a new project, will definitely not get off to a much better start."
Pei Qian arrived at the 17th floor and was captured by Hu Xianbin as soon as he entered the door.
"Mr. Pei, you are here!" Hu Xianbin's expression was quite excited.
Pei Qian instinctively felt that something was wrong: "What, you guessed that I was coming?"
Hu Xianbin smiled: "I'm just guessing. After all, the gog client game has started so well. You must have expected it. It's a high probability event to come and take a look."
Pei Qian: "?"
Such a good start???
Do we have different understandings of "a good start"?
Even if the mobile game starts well, how can the PC game be good?
"Mr. Pei, look!"
Hu Xianbin raised his hand to signal.
Pei Qian followed his hand and looked at the computer screen next to him. On it were the initial data of the GoG client game, which was constantly changing.
Damn it! Such a good start?!
Pei Qian almost shouted.
He had seen similar data when the gog mobile game was launched, but it was a mobile game project after all. There were not many competitors in the entire field, so it was normal for the data to be good.
But how come the data of the current PC game is better than the data of the mobile game when it was first launched?
This is not scientific at all!
Pei Qian subconsciously looked at Hu Xianbin.
Hu Xianbin smiled confidently: "Mr. Pei, I knew you wanted to test me. I have thought about it carefully and summarized the reasons!"
"On the one hand, although the competition in the PC game field is fierce, the number of players is still more than that of mobile games, and there are also more players who like hard-core games!"
"On the other hand, we at Tengda have been deeply involved in the field of client games in the past two years. With the support of "Sea Fortress" and many stand-alone games, once the gog client game is launched, there will be a huge potential player base!"
"Finally, and most importantly, the gog mobile game and season bonuses have accumulated enough popularity for the gog client game before it is launched!"
“Due to the interoperability of client and mobile game accounts, many mobile game users immediately downloaded the client game to experience it.”
"In order to get the season bonuses, many players even stay in Internet cafes in advance, enter the server as soon as it opens, rush into the rankings, and race against time!"
“That’s why the gog client game can get off to such a good start!”
"According to the data just sent by Moyu Internet Cafe, the three games in the Internet cafe, "Shenqi", ioi international server, and gog test server, were in a tripartite position. After the gog client game was officially launched, the balance has been broken."
"The gog client game quickly overcame the other two games and won the favor of players!"
"Although it is too early to declare victory, the idea of gog launching mobile games first and then high-end games is obviously a great success!"
"This is inseparable from your wise guidance, Mr. Pei!"
Pei Qian looked confused: "...I have never guided you to make GoG mobile games."
Hu Xianbin nodded: "Yes, that's right."
"Making GoG mobile games and interoperating client games is what Sister Li requested."
"But Sister Li said that the reason she came up with this method of 'dislocation competition' was because she learned it from you. Your previous series of classic marketing operations inspired Sister Li and changed her way of thinking.
Only then can we think of using this method to promote gog client games!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Is this the backstab from across the ocean?
Li Yada is still traveling, but she can still leave a thorn in advance...
While feeling pain in his balls, Pei Qian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.
According to the current situation, if ioi does not go to the overseas server, the situation may not be good...
No, the national server of ioi must be arranged in the next cycle.
Otherwise, the world line will completely deviate from what you imagined, and the consequences will be disastrous!
Pei Qian turned and left.
Hu Xianbin is already accustomed to Mr. Pei's vigorous and resolute actions: "Mr. Pei, walk slowly! Welcome to come often! Ready to be reviewed at any time!"
After Mr. Pei left, Hu Xianbin looked at the data on the computer screen thoughtfully.
"I have to say that Mr. Pei's trick of 'playing mobile games when faced with difficulties' is really a panacea for solving all problems."
"Many people have seen the inevitability of the arrival of the mobile gaming boom with the development of smartphones, but their understanding of the gaming industry itself has restricted their behavior."
"Although they have seen the arrival of the mobile game trend, they focus on light games and casual games."
"But Mr. Pei is different. His proficiency in both the mobile phone and game industries allows him to be more aggressive in bringing some serious games to the mobile game platform. This is the case with "War Song" and the same is true with gog."
"Well... although it was not his direct decision, it is obvious that both Director Lin and Sister Li were influenced by his ideas."
"Wouldn't it mean that if you don't decide to make a mobile game when something happens, then all the games you develop in the future that can be converted into a mobile game will be converted into a mobile game?"
"Hmm... This seems to be a good idea. The battle mode of "Sea Fortress" seems to be very suitable for turning into a mobile game."
"Well, write this down, make bold assumptions, and verify carefully..."
…
…
Tuesday, March 22nd.
Fei Huang Studio.
"Mr. Pei, I still feel that it is a bit of a loss not to extend the secret key."
"With the quality and box office of our film, extending the release for another month should be a basic operation."
"Although extending for one month won't make much more money, no matter how low the film schedule is, it's still good to make an extra ten or twenty million."
Zhu Xiaoce was thinking casually while drinking tea.
Pei Qian turned a deaf ear to his words, sipping tea with a faint smile on his face.
For Pei Qian, today is a good day.
"Better Tomorrow" is finally released!
This month has been a nightmare experience for Pei Qian. He originally thought that February 22 would be an auspicious day, and he would suddenly die as soon as the movie was released. However, a month later, the box office of the movie was finally fixed at 248.62 billion
Ten thousand.
"Flying Star Journey"'s last-minute assist made "Better Tomorrow", who was already at the end of his life, suddenly sit up in shock from a dying illness. Looking back, he stubbornly cut more than the Gouyan app expected.
Nearly 20 million box office.
After some conversion, the reimbursement to the production team will be about 83 million.
The investment in this movie is 30 million.
Therefore, more than a week ago, when Pei Qian heard that Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo proposed to extend the movie secret key for another month to earn another month of box office, he became emotional and firmly opposed it.
Anyway, the movie "Better Tomorrow" was finally released today.
Director Zhu Xiaoce obviously felt that it was a little bit of a pity.
Although extending it for another month will not make much more box office, at most more than ten million, there will only be five or six million left in the hands, but why not use the free money?
Pei Qian drank tea silently, thinking that you know a hammer.
If it is extended for another month, the repayment will also have to be extended for another month.
The next settlement cycle will probably be around five months. According to the current pace, there is a "quick settlement and repayment" business, and the repayment will be received within one month after the film is released.
If the payment is received in March, you can start working on the project immediately.
If I only call in April and then invest in the project, the project deadline will be very tight and it is likely that it will not be completed.
So, absolutely can’t delay!
The two of them each had different ideas and were speechless.
At this moment, Huang Sibo, who had just answered the phone, came over and sat down on the empty seat.
"Director Zhu, it's obvious that Mr. Pei's decision is the right one."
"We really shouldn't be extending the key."
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned: "Huh?"
Huang Sibo's face was filled with a smile: "People from Elly Island just contacted me and wanted to talk to us about the exclusive cooperation issue of "Better Tomorrow"!"
Zhu Xiaoce: "?"
Pei Qian: "?"
Both of them were a little surprised, but one was surprised and the other was frightened.
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned for a moment and then slapped his thigh: "Yes! I understand!"
"Although extending the key will allow the film to be shown in theaters for one more month, the audience's demand for watching movies will further decline. When the website talks about cooperation with us, the price will naturally be reduced accordingly."
"Although "Better Tomorrow" has been released, it is still popular. Now we can talk about cooperation with video websites like Ellie Island, especially exclusivity, so that we can get the most favorable conditions!"
Huang Sibo smiled slightly: "It's not just that."
"In April, there will be a hot online drama that attracts a lot of attention, and a lot of resources will be allocated."
"And from now until the end of March, there just aren't any great popular dramas on the website."
"After signing the exclusive contract for "Better Tomorrow", we will get good recommendation resources at least in March!"
Zhu Xiaoce suddenly nodded: "I see, that's wonderful."
"Release the movie on time to retain its popularity, and thereby strive for more benefits from video websites."
"It's just that the price offered by the video website can be much higher than five million?"
Huang Sibo looked at the document on his phone: "Currently, Ellie Island provides two different exclusive cooperation models."
"One is to buy out. According to the current market situation, for a movie with a box office of over 100 million and the participation of famous actors, the copyright purchase fee will start at 10 million, but the maximum will not exceed 50 million."
"Our movie has a box office of more than 200 million, and it is quite popular now, so the price offered by Elle Island to us is 18 million."
"The other is to divide into..."
Zhu Xiaoce slapped his thigh: "Of course it's a buyout!"
Pei Qian: "Split!"
The two people spoke almost at the same time, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
Zhu Xiaoce's idea is very simple. If the movie is sold to a video website, and the video website makes it available on demand, even if it is divided into several pieces, how long will it take to earn 18 million?
Of course, it's a one-time deal. If you sell it for 18 million, isn't it already a profit? You don't have to worry about it in the future.
Pei Qian's perspective was something no one could have imagined.
18 million has arrived now, won’t this cost me my life?
I finally spent all the excess money in my account temporarily in one operation, and just as I was about to settle the account, I was suddenly given 18 million. Where should I spend it?
You just let me take a bath with Lafite every day, and I...oh, that would be all the money, but the problem is that the system doesn't allow it.
Therefore, we must definitely not buy it out!
Huang Sibo coughed twice: "Ahem, you'd better listen to me first."
"In terms of sharing, each member's valid on-demand video will be divided into two and a half dollars. If a member watches more than 6 minutes, it will be considered as a valid on-demand video. For a total of six months, the payment will be refunded once a month."
"The movie will become free after six months, but Elle Island will still pay a certain amount of compensation according to the incentive plan based on data such as playback volume and popularity."
"If it's for safety's sake, it's definitely more worry-free to buy it out. If you have strong confidence in the movie, it's not a bad idea to split the money."
Pei Qian's attitude remained firm: "Split!"
He doesn't care about how much share of the movie's viewing volume he can get on Ellie Island. He only cares about one thing. No matter how much money it is, you must not give it to me now!
Anyway, it’s such a big deal, let’s talk about it next cycle!
Seeing Mr. Pei's firm attitude, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, let's split it. We also feel that we should have confidence in "Better Tomorrow". The split-lot model will definitely make more money!"
Pei Qian sighed silently, feeling a little melancholy.
Today... seems like it should be a good day for the movie to be released.
