Chapter 53: A Different CS
Today's experience is unforgettable for them. And even with Ma Wei, the new boss, it will make them remember it for a lifetime......
After cleaning up the scene of the explosion, Ma Wei asked several of his bodyguards to dress up as bandits and police officers and cosplay the characters of "Counter-Strike".
Then they were asked to take AK-47s, shotguns and other weapons, and shoot at wooden houses and concrete buildings, which were used to collect raw data on different materials of various firearms. Rate of fire, ballistics, power, these are all recorded. Even the feedback when an object is hit by a bullet will be done in more detail.
As a reborn, Ma Wei will not follow the same path in his previous life. Although "Counter-Strike" was popular all over the world in 2000, due to the setting of the game itself (LAN battles), the game was not very profitable (mainly because there were no follow-up charging items, and there were many pirates).
So instead, it was surpassed by "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "Crossfire", which later borrowed its elements.
With all of this in mind, Ma Wei decided to revamp the operating model of Counter-Strike. You have to go through the server to fight, and you have to add innovations such as the item shop, biochemical mode, and breakthrough mode to capture the player's interest.
You don't need to use all of these game operations at once. Just add it when the game data is declining. In this way, you will be able to maintain your popularity to a large extent, and your income will be higher than in your previous life!
"Mike, tomorrow when you return to the United States, make the pre-sale website of Counter-Strike. Aim to be able to go live within a week. While the bodyguards were recording the video, Mavi turned to President Mike and said.
"Pre-sale site?Chairman Ma Wei, is that ......?" Mike asked, a little puzzled.
The concept of game pre-sale, in the year 2000, was very avant-garde. Almost no gamers would think of collecting money before making games. So Mike, the president, didn't react to what Ma Wei said.
"Counter-Strike is available for pre-sale in limited quantities, with 200,000 pre-release CDKs being released first. If a player buys it, it is also a privilege to be able to play the game before other players during the game's closed beta. Ma Wei explained lightly. With the experience of his previous life, he can take out a hand casually, and he can be in the game circle.
"Pre-sale CDK... Play the game first during the closed beta ......" Seven Blizzard employees, including President Mike, showed thoughtful expressions after listening to Ma Wei's answer.
Originally, everyone's impression of Ma Wei was that he was a tyrant from Russia. But what everyone didn't expect was that Ma Wei not only had excellent game creative concepts, but also did a refreshing job in terms of operation!
Three days later, Ma Wei asked the video editor to edit out the footage of his C4 blowing up a tank and the bandits handing over fire. And embedded in the promotional poster of the "Counter-Strike" game to increase the sense of anticipation.
Then he posted the video to his V guest video network while it was hot, and tested the water in the early stage.
In the previous month, his various videos of bombing luxury cars and bombing planes were enthusiastically sought after by netizens. This made Ma Wei's V guest account rise to about 150,000 fans.
It was very powerful to have such an effect in 2000, when the Internet was not yet developed. This also established the title of Ma Wei, the first broadcaster of the network.
And his "horse V" ID has also become a good self-media Peugeot. In terms of propaganda effect, it is more effective than the traditional newspaper and television broadcast. After all, almost all young people who play games like to surf the Internet.
"Good evening, netizens, it's a pleasure to share a new video with you......" Ma Wei is still wearing his spiral mask. And his 150,000 fans affectionately call him a Russian mask tyrant.
As soon as the video was uploaded to the Internet, it appeared on the homepage of Vke.com. Now the traffic of Mawei's video website is about 20,000 people per day. As a result, many manufacturers who see business opportunities have contacted video sites and asked to place their ads on their pages.
Therefore, the advertising fee charged alone is almost enough for the operation of the website. When the Internet gradually develops, Ma Wei will also launch a paid membership system. Give those who pay for it, video privileges.
When the time comes, combined with other industries, such as games, entertainment, etc., I believe that it will definitely create a giant company similar to the concept of pan-entertainment.
When Ma Wei's video appears on the homepage of the site. At the same time, his 150,000 fans also received a system prompt, "The Ma V podcaster you follow has recently uploaded a video, do you want to click to watch it now?"
With the issuance of the system push, more than 8,000 people came at once among the 150,000 fans!
"Wow Ka Finally Waiting for You! What Video Is This Time? I'm Looking Forward to It!"
"Teach you how to make a flame tank? The rich have already started burning tanks? Sports cars can't satisfy you anymore. ”
……
Many netizens have not watched the video yet, so they enthusiastically left messages under the video. If it weren't for Ma Wei's plan to open a barrage for the website now, otherwise these more than 8,000 people would definitely have swiped his videos all over the barrage......
The number of netizens who came to view the video continued to increase, and soon rose to 12,000. They open the video expectantly, and then see an army green T-90 tank, parked in the distance. And there was no one around.
Seeing this, some new netizens couldn't help but wonder, thinking, "What about the good flame tank, why didn't anyone do it?"
However, just as netizens were thinking like this, they only heard a loud bang! A terrorist explosion occurred in the tank in an instant! At the same time, the tank shook violently, and the hood of the car also flew into the blue sky in an instant......
The explosion process was so fast that in the blink of an eye, netizens saw the T-90 tank, which was burned by the raging fire and destroyed in an instant.
Almost all netizens who saw the video were shocked by the explosion scene! This earth-shattering power made many netizens can't help but watch it back and forth several times. It wasn't until I was addicted to it that I was ready to watch the content behind.
The second half of the video is interspersed with clips of terrorists and counter-strikers exchanging gunfire. It is quite level, not only full of rhythm, but also makes people watch with enthusiasm, with the immediate sense of a blockbuster.
When many netizens saw this, they praised Mawei in their hearts, and the video became more and more exciting. I actually hired so many professional characters to play cosplay. Look at the picture of them holding machine guns in their hands and shooting sabotage, which is not only extremely realistic, but also eye-catching.
