"Come, Brother Zhou, have a drink."
In a restaurant, several people surrounded Zhou Can and toasted him enthusiastically. However, Zhou Can didn't seem to be very interested, and he took a small sip.
Zhou Can has reason to be depressed, since the reorganization of the company, the members of their game production team, except for a very few people, have broken away to become independent producers.
Zhong Yue is also righteous enough, after the company's restructuring was completed, there was no fanfare, but priority was given to providing machines to their old employees.
After the easy-to-manage app store came out, his game was also the first batch to be launched, and in the first month, the turnover broke 15 million, becoming the first place in the monthly sales list of the app store, and in the second month, he won this honor for a second time.
Then, he ambitiously made the second version of the game, wanting to set another record, but last month, he lost to the second version of "Emperor Wu" by a slight disadvantage, and could only be relegated to second place.
If this is produced by Li Xinguang or Cai Xuan, he has no permission to say if he loses, but the producer of the second version of "Diwu" is an ordinary planner in the original company.
He knew that he was not losing to the producer, but the huge IP value of "Diwu" itself. That's why he felt aggrieved.
Today's drinking party was invited by his cousin and two of his cousin's classmates. As for the purpose, you don't have to guess to know, you must want him to take them into the industry.
Since returning to his hometown during the Spring Festival last year, his relatives at home know that he is making mobile games with an annual salary of one million. Like a successful person.
At that time, many relatives said that they wanted him to bring him into this industry. He politely refused. It's not that he doesn't want to help. It's that Zhong Yue's rules are too strict. People like this who don't have a little foundation go in. Bao Zhun was fired the next day.
However, now the situation is different, he has become an independent producer, and whether he wants to bring new people or not depends entirely on his own wishes.
He hadn't had much contact with this cousin before, only that he had just graduated from college and was majoring in software.
"Brother Can, I heard that it's very easy to make mobile games now. It only takes two or three people to make a game in a month, is it true? ”
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhou Can's cousin Zhao Jun asked about the things he cared about.
Zhou Can was picking vegetables, and when he heard his words, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "Where did you hear about this kind of thing?" ”
Side. Mr. Zhao's classmate, Mr. Tsaige, said, "I've heard from a few people. At first, a friend told me that his brother was making mobile games, and at first, I thought he was bragging. Later, I heard a few friends say the same thing......"
"I didn't expect the news to spread so widely now."
Zhou Can sighed. Their first batch of independent producers had a private agreement that everyone would keep this secret together and try not to spread it out. to buy more time.
Everyone knew that as soon as word spread, they would face countless competitors. According to the grading system formulated by Zhong Yue, high-level teams can be given priority to use the machine. As long as they can make achievements, they can take the lead.
However, it is almost impossible to keep dozens of people secret, and the company itself will do some publicity, and as time goes by, more and more people become independent producers. Now, it's almost to the point where everyone knows about it. It made him feel a lot of pressure.
"Brother Can, you have something to say." Zhao Jun saw that he didn't speak, and he was a little anxious.
Zhou Can came back to his senses, glanced at him, and said, "I remember that you didn't find a job?" ”
"I quit a long time ago. The wages are low, the work is hard, the environment is poor, and there is no future. ”
Zhao Jun pouted, obviously not having a good impression of his last job, "Now, the three of us are going to make mobile games, and we want Brother Can to give me some advice." ”
Zhou Can glanced at his cousin and heard what the other party meant, they wanted to do it themselves, not follow him, and asked, "Are you familiar with mobile games?" ”
"Familiar, Aaron likes to play mobile games, is a veteran enthusiast, and is very familiar with the popular games on the market. Agger and I usually play and know a little bit about it. Zhao Jun said confidently that the Ah Long in his mouth was another classmate.
Zhou Can listened to it and felt a little funny.
Having played some mobile games and want to make your own? What kind of international jokes, I guess they can't even write a game planning book.
His mouth moved, but he didn't say what he wanted to say, but just asked, "What do you want to know?" ”
Zhao Jun and Cai Ge glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes. Zhao Jun said, "I just want to understand the process of making a game." ”
"You have to make a proposal and then submit it to the production company." Zhou Can saw that he was his cousin, but he didn't hide it, "The plan should be written in the format, and you can search for it on the Internet." The production company is called Yi Changyou, and you can search the official website directly, you can submit a plan online, or you can send it by mail. ”
Zeiger interjected and asked, "Is there only one production company?" ”
"That's right, it's the only one in the world." There was some pride in Zhou Can's tone.
Hearing this, Cai Ge frowned, "Then how is their share calculated?" ”
This sentence made Zhou Can's evaluation of them even lower, the game hadn't started yet, so he cared about how to divide it first, if it weren't for his cousin, he wouldn't want to pay attention to them, and said patiently, "The division is a ladder, the monthly flow is less than two million, and there is no sharing." Between 2 million and 10 million, it can be divided into 5% of the production company. ”
"In other words, 10 million is 500,000?" Zhao Jun asked.
Zhou Can corrected, "Wrong. It is divided from the production company, and the production company can get 40% of the monthly flow. ”
When Zeig heard this, he exclaimed, "Five percent of forty? Only two percent? It's too dark, isn't it? ”
Zhao Jun also looked indignant, "I'll go, the production company doesn't have to do anything, just take 95% of the share, it's too shameless." ”
Listening to the complaints of the two, Zhou Can suddenly remembered his prophecy at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to come true so soon.
The two percent share seems to be very small, but don't forget that what the producer pays is nothing more than his own creativity and setting, a small amount of money, and a few months away, even if the game fails and he doesn't earn a penny, there won't be much loss.
As long as the game has a monthly turnover of more than 2 million, the team can get 40,000 yuan and achieve profits. If the turnover reaches 5 million, there will be 100,000.
If the turnover can reach 10 million, then it will be developed. In addition to the 200,000 share, it also has the power to make a new version. And as long as the quality of the new version of the game is not bad, it is not a problem to surpass the previous game. When the time comes, the income will be higher and higher.
Just like himself, last month, he got nearly a million shares from the easy-to-manage app store alone. PLUS THE SHARE OF THE IOS PLATFORM, HIS TEAM HAS A TOTAL INCOME OF MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION, AND ACCORDING TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE TEAM, HE GOT 1 MILLION OF IT. Realized the dream of earning one million a month.
In this world, it is difficult to find such a low-investment, low-risk, high-return entrepreneurial path.
In the past, the threshold for making mobile games was high, one fund, one talent. Zhong Yue's decision to turn Yi Changyou into a simple production company has raised the threshold of this industry to a very low level.
However, a low threshold does not mean that there is no threshold. It's a joke that a rookie like Zhao Jun, who doesn't have any experience, wants to make his own games as soon as he enters the industry.
Zhou Can didn't bother to tell them more, this kind of person, he has seen a lot, and if he says a few more words, not only will they not appreciate it, but they will think that you have ulterior motives. So, he made an excuse to take his leave.
………………
After Zhou Can went home, he saw his girlfriend Zhang Xiaolu watching TV, glanced at the time, and it was only eight o'clock in the evening, and asked, "Don't you have to work overtime today?" ”
"The company recruited more than a dozen employees a while ago, and I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief." Zhang Xiaolu said with a relaxed face.
After the reorganization of Yi Changyou, Zhong Yue established a new company and transferred all the artists to the new company to provide art services for these production teams.
In the past few months, there are hundreds of teams making games in Yichangyou, and every artist in the company works overtime until midnight every day, and they are a little busy. Zhang Xiaolu doesn't have to work overtime every day in the future, so she is naturally very happy.
Zhou Can sat next to her, "Is there any new movement from the boss recently?" ”
"How would I know about such a thing?" Zhang Xiaolu was a little strange why he would ask such a question.
Zhou Can didn't hide it from her, and briefly said what happened just now, "Now that the production company is getting more and more famous, I'm afraid that the competition in the future will be very fierce, I'm a little worried about ......"
"Worry about what." Zhang Xiaolu comforted him, "Didn't the boss say that he would rate the team, the game you did was so good, it must be the highest level." The boss also said that teams with high ratings can use machines first, and there are additional bonuses, and they will also get a tilt of resources on the app store. ”
Zhou Can thought about it for a while and said, "I want to find a few more reliable people to join and open a new game." ”
"Do you have the energy to handle it?" Zhang Xiaolu was a little worried.
Zhou Can obviously made up his mind and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it." ”
"Well, I've got your back." Zhang Xiaolu rested her head on his shoulder and looked at the TV.
Suddenly, she sighed, "Look, is that on TV our boss?" ”
Zhou Can looked over, and on TV, Zhong Yue was wearing a suit and tie, and was being interviewed. Immediately said, "That's right, it's our boss." ”
"I can't see it, the boss is quite handsome after he is on TV." Zhang Xiaolu said with a smile.
Zhou Can urged him, "Turn up your voice a little louder and listen to what the boss is saying." (To be continued......)
