Chapter 141 Twists and Turns Caused by Approval

"There's one thing I want to discuss with you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In the conference room, Director Zhao and Special Manager Quan sat on one side, while Liu Kewei, Che Guanglong, and Duan Shanshan were opposite them.

Originally, Duan Shanshan didn't plan to participate in this meeting as usual, but Liu Kewei, who already knew the content of the meeting in advance, had to pull him in. So he had to reluctantly sit beside Liu Kewei, bowing his head and playing with the pen, just like he had done in the Holy Grail Studio.

"I didn't expect this to happen," Director Zhao didn't shy away from saying, "Uncle Quan reminded me, that is, the name of our project may need to be changed." After all, the members of your Holy Grail Studio before, as well as the Ming Zhou Company, there are many people who know the name "Legend of the Six Paths", and even the Ming Zhou side may have gone to the game approval department of the Celestial Empire to file for the record. So in order to avoid possible trouble, we would better change the name. ”

Attorney Kwon smiled humbly and nodded, as if in response.

The alpha version is expected to be completed next week, such an online game that is obviously developed for the Celestial Empire game market, and the closed beta is obviously dominated by various game operators, game media people and Celestial Empire players.

So the matter of approval is imminent.

Fortunately, the threesome studio is not unprepared for this matter, Liu Kewei has already summarized the relevant information, if it is just to change the name of the game, it is just to replace the keywords in batches, and there is no trouble.

"Do you have to change the name of the existing game?" Liu Kewei, Che Guanglong, and Duan Shanshan glanced at each other, and finally Liu Kewei came forward to confirm.

Among the three, only Liu Kewei has experienced the operation stage of the game's approval, testing, and launch, and even him, after the team was disbanded, several members continued to "resurrect" the project that had been declared a failure, and he himself was the first time to do it.

When it comes to related issues, these three guys have little experience, which is inevitable.

Director Zhao turned around and nodded to Special Minister Quan, motioning for him to explain.

"Frankly, there's really no need to change it. "It's just that if we don't change it, we may run into some unknown troubles - for example, none of us know if Mingzhou has declared this project to the Celestial Empire Game Approval Department, and if so, how did they apply for it." Although Naxon also has a professional Celestial Empire legal consultant, even if there is a real legal dispute, we will not necessarily lose the case - but why should we take such a risk? If just changing the name can avoid some possible troubles, I think every normal person will make a more reasonable choice. ”

Che Guanglong translated the words of Special Agent Quan in a low voice, and Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan bowed their heads and were silent.

After exchanging each other's eyes again, Liu Kewei came out to express his position.

"That's true, you have a good point, so let's change it. ”

After it was determined that he wanted to change his name, the reason why Liu Kewei forcibly pulled Duan Shanshan to attend was revealed, as the planner in charge of the project copywriting, how could he not show up on the occasion of changing the name of the game?

"How about "Legend of the Six Paths"?" Che Guanglong made a tentative start.

"The degree of similarity with "Legend of the Six Paths" is too high, what is the difference between changing it and not changing it?" Liu Kewei shook his head.

Che Guanglong pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"How about calling it "The Legend of Xianxia"?" After blinking his eyes for a long time, Liu Kewei also proposed a plan, "Anyway, the theme of our game is similar to that of Xianxia......"

This time, it was Duan Shanshan's turn to sneer at him.

"Please, do we have anything to do with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"? ”

"What's wrong with following the Immortal Sword?" Liu Kewei said with a smile, "I'm satisfied if I can have half the success of the Immortal Sword." ”

"No, no, no, it's really different, although it's all fantasy themes of the Celestial Empire myth. Duan Shanshan shook his head like a rattle, "The fairy sword is more biased towards the legend of Shushan Wonder Heroes, with the theme of cultivating immortals and exploration, although there are similar worldviews of the Six Realms and character settings such as Nuwa's descendants, but these are not the main line of the fairy sword storyline." In essence, the theme of our project is more inclined to the contradictions and conflicts of interest of the six realms themselves, not so much 'Xianxia' as 'gods and demons'. ”

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is undoubtedly the first palace-level "local" game in the minds of game lovers of the Celestial Empire (referring to the Chinese-speaking world, not an import from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea), and both Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan are full of respect for this masterpiece in their hearts.

"Apart from you, how many people can distinguish 'Xianxia' and 'Gods and Demons' so clearly?" Liu Kewei waved his hand disappreciatively, "Uncle Duan, your cleanliness habit has flareed up again?" As long as the actual content of our game does not plagiarize the setting of Xianjian, we can have a clear conscience, and it is not a problem to be just a little similar in the name." ”

Duan Shanshan was speechless for a while, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he muttered, "No matter what, it can't be called a legend of Xianxia, it's too earthy and vulgar......"

"Then you give me a plan, in fact, I like the words 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Universe Flood Desolation', can you see if you can embed it?" Liu Kewei rolled his eyes and gave another proposal.

This sentence is derived from the "Thousand Character Text", which is an ancient children's enlightenment textbook. The first four words actually refer to the yellow of heaven and earth, and Xuan and yellow refer to the respective colors of heaven and earth. Yu refers to all space, Zeu refers to all time, and flood refers to flood and wilderness, and by extension, chaos, the last four words have been interpreted by some people as 'time and space are endless', while I am more inclined to understand it as 'everything in heaven and earth comes from the beginning of obscurantism and chaos'. Duan Shanshan frowned and organized his expression, and explained slowly.

Liu Kewei waved his hand impatiently: "I don't care where this sentence comes from, and I don't care what it means, I just think these eight words sound very cool and high-end, can you see if they can be used in the name of our game?"

The conversation between the two was in Chinese, and it took a lot of effort for Che Guanglong to reluctantly translate the gist into Korean, Rao is so, and Director Zhao and Special Affairs Quan still look like they don't understand.

Duan Shanshan shouted depressedly, holding his head and lowering his head.

"You spare me, these eight words have nothing to do with our game!"

"Who said it doesn't matter? Isn't there a matter of stealing the soil and controlling the water in your plot, isn't this related to the 'flood famine'? And aren't the characters of Pangu, Nuwa, Yan, Huang and even Yao, Shun, and Yu all ancient mythological characters?" Liu Kewei is obviously Wang Ba eating scales today, and he insists on using his own preferences to brand the project, "Just call it Honghuang or something, you can think about it later!"

Duan Shanshan covered his head and struggled for a long time, and finally gave a compromise plan: "Then call it "Six Tribulations: Records of the Gods and Demons of the Flood Desolation", and appear as a subtitle, I feel that it will be better." ”

"I'll see it!" Liu Kewei, who got his wish, immediately expressed his approval, turned his head and asked Che Guanglong, "What do you think of Che'er?"

Che Guanglong shrugged helplessly, and said indispensably: "Actually, I don't think it matters what it's called, you just think it's good." ”

Duan Shanshan wrote down the name on a piece of paper, handed it to Director Zhao and Special Minister, and roughly explained the meaning of the name.

After listening to Cha Kwang-ryong's translation, the two Koreans did not object, and the name change was decided.

The next topic to discuss is the application of approval procedures and the arrangement of closed tests.

The approval procedures are naturally handled by Director Zhao and Special Manager Quan, and the threesome studio has no experience or way to do this.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Kewei and others politely rejected Cai Pingping when he expressed his willingness to find his father to help take over, and said that the game is not just a matter of investing money to complete research and development.

Naxon doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all, South Korea doesn't care, even in the Celestial Empire, Naxon has a hidden branch in Shencheng called Tiensit.

Because the Celestial Empire does not allow purely foreign-funded enterprises to enter the online game market, Naxon registered and established a Korean-funded Lexian Software Company in the Celestial Empire, and the company established a joint venture with a large state-owned enterprise in the Celestial Empire, which is actually the Chinese branch of Naxon, responsible for the operation of most of Naxon's games in the Celestial Empire.

In the Celestial Empire and the Korean game industry and game circle, there is a very famous event, that is, in 2001, the Celestial Dynasty game operator Fanhua Network, which represented "Millennium" and "Legend", became a domestic game giant because of the rapid rise of these games, and in 2004 acquired a controlling stake in the developer of these two games, South Korea's Actozsoft Company, for more than 90 million US dollars (more than 100 billion won).

The scale of the Celestial Empire game market and the high profits it brings can be seen from this, and at the beginning, it only transferred the agency rights of the Celestial Empire for several of its game products, and as a result, the operator in turn gave its controlling stake to Actozsoft, which acquired it, and for a time it almost became a joke in the industry and circles.

The rut in front of the car can be learned from the back car. As South Korea's number one game company, Naxon doesn't plan to let what happened to Actozsoft happen to him again.

Therefore, although Naxon also has a close cooperative relationship with Prosperous Network (the latter has obtained the operation rights of the Celestial Empire of the former's game products such as "Bubble Hall" and "Bubble Warrior"), it is only limited to some leisure projects that are not very important. Almost all of the core projects that Naxon values are entrusted to the Tiensiti company, including "Rocky", "Kart Run", "Counter-Strike", "Rocky Heroes" and so on.

Tiensiti has a background in state-owned joint ventures, and if it comes forward, the process of application and approval will naturally be relatively simple.

P.S. Ahhhhhhh......h This is one of the major events in the game industry in China and South Korea, and it is almost impossible to jump through it, so it is good to mention it in a general way, in order to highlight the cooperative and defensive relationship between Naxon and the "bustling network".
