THE REVIEWERS OF THE APP STORE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH RUDIMENTARY SOFTWARE BEFORE, AND IT WAS BILLED AS A GAME.

The paid purchase system of "The Rest of My Life" is completely open-source code, which Apple provides to various manufacturers for reference. Removed a few options.,The other party just did it directly in the software.,Didn't even remove the original annotations.。 It's said to be a game, but where is there a little bit of a game in this file package that is only a dozen trillion large? It's all dense text, and the font can't be adjusted yet, because it's too troublesome to write code. The interface isn't ugly, but the combination of the interface and other things is just too bad. Why would a game cost more than a million words of text to give two pictures, and both maps. This so-called game doesn't even have music or sound effects...... At first, the auditor thought that the other party did not set the switch, but after a closer look, he found that there was not even an audio file......

How dare this thing claim to be a game? Where is the gameplay, and what does the monetization model have to do with the game?

Guess what you can do with this game?6 yuan has three content options: the background color is changed to gray, the background color is changed to pink, and the background color is changed to beige with paper lines. 18 yuan is a file, which can activate the plot of the killer line without clearing the customs. Then, as if a joke, he set a grade of 648 yuan, what are you doing? The purchase instructions say this: "Since you seriously consider spending 648, it means that you are not short of money." You can't buy anything for this file, but the authors of the software and the text don't want to pay too much. "The auditor didn't know how many grass and mud horses had run by: Are you serious? This is a good way to lead to complaints!

However, after roughly sifting through the package and the text inside, and finding no discordant content, the auditor was generous enough to let it go. This kind of software doesn't have much functionality, but it's not a hidden danger, right?

After "The Rest of My Life" was launched, Silver Pages Company, Ming Qian Company, and Yue Qingyan's personal Weibo each posted a message, and then the announcement was basically completed......

Anyway, this is a very complaining "game", but after all, it is online.

In four and a half days, counting the role of everyone's publicity and promotion, there were only more than 100 downloads in total. This is also in line with the characteristics of this cold thing that doesn't know what it is.

However, Peng Jinkang is not in a hurry. Actually, no one is in a hurry. Such an experimental thing, of course, is good to be made, and it is normal to fail. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of words of text, even for readers who downloaded it at the first time, still need some time to digest.

It wasn't until October that the number of downloads of "The Rest of My Life" roughly exceeded 1,500. But from this time on, the situation seems to have changed considerably.

Now netizens' communication and promotion ability is quite strong, and when they see some interesting things, they always hope that their friends around them can also share their interests. Whether it is the circle of friends, single messages, Weibo, lofter, etc., as well as channels such as post bars, they are all rapidly spreading the way everyone spends their time in their daily lives.

And "The Rest of My Life" has also become one of the disseminated products. Since the third and fourth days of "The Rest of My Life" on the shelves, keen netizens have realized the fun of this way of reading, but a few people cannot form a wave of transmission. By mid-October, as the number of downloads increased, "The Rest of My Life" was finally noticed. Several up masters who make small videos and make new game experiences have done evaluation experiences. Of course, this "game" is also quite embarrassing for them, I really don't know where to start, and the graphics are not very good-looking, but the plot experience is really good.

After that, the number of downloads of the game quickly exceeded 3,000,500...... Still on the way. By the end of October, the number of downloads of "The Rest of My Life" exceeded 10,000, and the payment turnover also exceeded 10,000. To be honest, everyone doesn't quite understand why there are still people paying for this game, Peng Jinkang himself said that this is really a hell, isn't this thing a novel? Not to mention, there are really boring rich people who buy 648. From the perspective of the reading platform, this is less like buying a service, more like a tip.

When Apple sent an official recommendation in early November, the number of downloads and payments could not be contained. In less than a week, the income exceeded 100,000, and then it was a steep curve to 200,000, 300,000, 500,000, and 1 million......

"The Rest of My Life" has finally gained public acceptance, but there are different opinions about whether this thing is a game or not. At this time, it can show what role a good relationship and network can play.

Wen Wei Po first published reviews of this polyhedral text by several writers and critics in the SH area, and it was generally agreed that it should still be considered a novel: a novel in which the way it is read has changed dramatically. One of them said that the traditional novel mode has not changed much after entering the Internet age and the era of comprehensive electronicization, and the part of the change is limited to the definition of the reading experience, while the way of conveying the novel "The Rest of My Life" has changed the novel from the reading form.

This was followed by an interview with the Chinese edition of GQ magazine. The interview was contacted by Lianxingjie, and the reporters and photographers who came to conduct the interview were good friends of Miwu. In return, Peng Jinkang not only gave them a lot of solid materials, but also promoted the whole team together. Although Peng Jinkang is the main creator and main program, he himself tried his best to explain that the idea of "The Rest of My Life" was changed to such a form under Yue Qingyan's insight, and a group of brothers and good friends have provided great help.

In addition to the various preparations that Peng Jinkang had done before, architectural models and other eye-catching things, the magazine reporter also went to Yue Qingyan's studio and Fang Anxin's studio to take some photos with permission. Yue Qingyan had already shown his face a lot before, and everyone suddenly found that the power gathered around this quite successful author was already considerable. And Fang Anxin only asked the reporter to take a half-length photo of herself, without revealing her disability. But her studio is really full of details, both professional and neat and spacious.

A very complete team interview with Peng Jinkang occupies 14 pages, which is considered to be very important in the entire magazine. Peng Jinkang was originally an eye-catching handsome guy, and after the careful packaging of the magazine, he has become a literary star of the younger generation.

Strange is strange here, Peng Jinkang himself feels embarrassed: why did he, a student of architecture, suddenly become a well-known author? But it doesn't matter, by the end of the year, the total sales of "The Rest of My Life" have exceeded 2 million, and it has been recommended by the APP STORE for three rounds. But this software is actually quite reasonable, and it's still so useless to pay, and the improvements made by polyhedron companies are nothing more than finding professional programmers to optimize the program, improve the page-turning experience when reading, and increase the adjustable picture brightness...... That's all. However, the English and Japanese versions of "The Rest of My Life" are being translated. Spanish, Russian, and German versions are licensed directly to local companies, and Polyhedron only receives 10% of sales as copyright rights.

Then, Peng Jinkang held his back and began to develop a second game. But for Peng Jinkang, the biggest significance of this thing is that it has a place in this small team with Yue Qingyan as the core.

Yue Qingyan has been busy from summer to winter, in addition to the signing and reader exchange meeting that will inevitably be held once a week or two, he also went to Hong Kong twice, which were the opening ceremonies of two films. He didn't show up, but helped to sort out the script together. His novels are written like scripts and useless. The script has an example of the format of the script, and it also has its own elaboration logic, which is really not something that can be replaced by a novel.

I was not in SH for almost 60 days in half a year, which was really exhausting. At the beginning of November, Yue Qingyan was in the office of Silver Page Culture, gathering everyone to talk about things together.

Although the business volume of Silver Page Culture is not large, its influence in the circle has been basically established. Yue Qingyan's various reader exchange meetings are all organized by Silver Pages, and the sales of peripheral products are also very deep. This alone is quite profitable. After all, the momentum of "Yinying" is just the beginning. The 13th Fleet, a book club, was not disbanded with the end of the whole serialization, but became stronger and stronger because of the meticulous and considerate operation service. The "Yinying" online encyclopedia is online, the "Yinying" world creation plan is online, the "Yinying" peripheral mall is online, the "Yinying" fandom collaboration center is online, and even the "Yinying" theme café and restaurant are already being prepared. There was also a proposal to build a "Iserlohn Fortress" hotel, but it was abandoned because the militarized accommodation conditions were too poor to balance the level of restoration and comfort. Just to run "Yinying", the team of Silver Pages Culture has expanded to nearly 50 people, and it has to be fitted with an entire floor of an open office. However, the decoration details of the entire company can be called a concentrated restoration of the Yinying theme.

The most important work for non-"Yinying" at present is "Firm Cloud" by Coffee Coffee. The quality itself is excellent, plus there are bigwigs in the circle and fans outside the circle. Since he is a disciple of "Yanhuo", and he is loyal to sign into the company with the teacher, not only the author's contract, but even the work relationship has been transferred to the silver page culture.

At first, the Thirteenth Fleet wanted to let the coffee go with it to the readers' meeting to gain popularity. But the coffee felt that it was inappropriate, so she still refused, and she did a lot of work before and after the saddle, and she wrote a lot of copywriting, but she resolutely did not rub the heat but let Yue Qingyan enjoy the glory alone. Everyone is also quite concerned about the coffee thing. Now, it is said that "Steadfast Cloud" is already talking about licensing with famous domestic film and television companies.

The entire decoration layout of the Silver Pages company looks like it is in the command center of the COS starship or the fortress of Iserlon, and there is always a sense of unreality that people can't help but roll their eyes, but now according to industry estimates, it is also a proper rising star with an annual turnover of several million, and a PE of 15 times can also be valued at hundreds of millions. However, financing listing? does not exist.

It is very rare for Yue Qingyan to go to the company, and it is even more rare to gather everyone in the company's conference room. Probably something new is going to happen, that's what all the participants thought. Moreover, although there was all kinds of food and drink at the conference table, the atmosphere was indeed more serious.

They are all acquaintances, and Yue Qingyan also said clearly: "Now that there are more people, the home studio can't withstand so many of you to have a meeting together." But there are indeed things that need to be explained to you today. The agreement was signed this morning, and it's a project that we can all mobilize to work on. Besides, I'm afraid I won't have time to talk to you so carefully for a while. Recently, I can finally do less activities, and I'm going to start writing too. ”
