Chapter 0062 - Black-hearted Capitalist
On Tuesday, Zhou Lin went to the university town early in the morning.
On the fixed seat of the Internet café, Gao Zhining's expression looked more withered and haggard than a few days ago, and Zhou Lin was really afraid that he would die suddenly at any time.
However, this guy's eyes are still bright, and his tone is as annoying as ever, Zhou Lin remembered the old saying "good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years", so he didn't worry about his life.
"I did this simple job last night. As soon as Gao Zhining saw Zhou Lin, he said, "In the future, just find someone to do this kind of simple work, don't delay my business." ”
"What's your business?" Zhou Lin asked as he checked the final product of the stand-alone and web versions of Zhou's Cube.
"I'm cracking the Super Beauty website and trying to get a permanent free membership number. Gao Zhining said.
Zhou Lin's movements froze, Super Beauty seems to be the most famous 1024 station on the Internet, and it is said that the content in it is very exciting.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "After you get it, share it with me......"
"Don't worry, we're good buddies, I won't forget you. Gao Zhining seemed to have found a soulmate.
Men tend to become closer after having a common language, and the next time passed very well, and Zhou Lin checked it several times and finally determined that the first version of "Zhou's Square" was completed.
I have to admit that Gao Zhining is a very talented guy, although his aesthetic literacy is not very good, but with the soundtrack of Zhang Xueyuan's zuò and the picture of Xia Daning Xiaoxin and others, all the elements of "Zhou's Square" finally glow with its due charm.
Zhou Lin tried a few games, and felt that the current version of "Zhou's Square" was not inferior to the version he had played on the eight-bit red and white machine in his previous life, and even surpassed it in the music and picture table.
In his previous life, "Zhou's Cube" was, after all, the most released game in the world, and with higher quality, Zhou Lin didn't believe that it would not succeed.
After putting away the disc, Zhou Lin called Wang Xiaotian and asked about the patent registration.
Although the number of patents registered this time is several times more than that of "Three Kingdoms", and the cumbersome Cheng dù is also several times higher, I don't know whether it is because the Chinese government is vigorously promoting the legalization movement or because Wang Xiaotian has found a relationship, so many things have been handled properly in just one day, and the patent has undoubtedly belonged to Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin praised Wang Xiaotian a lot, and asked him to go to the Publishing Bureau tomorrow to apply for a batch number, and then hung up the phone.
"Where are you going to release it?" waited for Zhou Lin to hang up the phone, and Gao Zhining asked.
After Zhou Lin said his thoughts, Gao Zhining's brows locked.
"What is your opinion?" Zhou Lin keenly noticed that his expression was wrong, and couldn't help asking.
Gao Zhining: "Originally, I was only responsible for technology, and I shouldn't talk too much about distribution, but 1% of the profit is mine, and I have to remind you of a few things." ”
"You say. "Zhou Lin doesn't know anything about distribution, and he really needs to be reminded of himself.
Gao Zhining said: "It is indeed difficult to engage in physical distribution channels, and many games are now engaged in online electronic distribution. But you must know that electronic distribution is monopolized by the three major platforms, and if you want to publish games on them, you have to be prepared to be skinned by them!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Zhou Lin asked suspiciously.
Gao Zhining sneered: "Only more exaggerated, not the most exaggerated." These monopoly capitalists are all in the dark!"
Zhou Lin's good mood was destroyed by Gao Zhining's reminder.
When he left the Internet café and returned home, he immediately went online to contact three distribution platforms.
The first is the Penguin gaming platform.
After the customer service learned of Zhou Lin's wishes, he sent a message.
Zhou Lin opened it and looked at it, and he was a little dumbfounded.
The Penguin Game Platform only accepts the mode of sharing operation, and the so-called sharing operation is to put the game on the Penguin Game Platform, and calculate a final income according to the number of players, game time, prop income, etc., and this income will be divided in the form of 28.
Eight return to penguins, two return to the system zuò square.
Regardless of whether there will be a problem with the calculation method of income, Zhou Lin can't accept this share ratio alone.
It's so unfair that you can only get one-fifth of the revenue for working hard to make a game, and the operator only provides a platform and takes four-fifths!
He immediately went to contact Junhua Software Park again, but the answer he got was even more ridiculous.
Junhua Software Park has bluntly stated that for games provided by individuals or small parties, they only provide a buyout method, and also give a price.
10,000 yuan, they don't care about the quality of the game, in short, as long as it is the work of an unknown author, at most they will only give this price.
After the buyout, no matter how many copies of this game are sold in the future, it has nothing to do with the original author.
Zhou Lin felt that the penguin platform was too domineering at first, but he didn't expect Junhua Software Park to be even more black-hearted. Gao Zhining is really right, there is no most exaggerated, only more exaggerated!
With a residual glimmer of hope, Zhou Lin contacted Xiake.com again.
The share ratio of Xia Ke.com is barely acceptable, reaching four to six, and it does not force a buyout.
However, a 16-page thick contract given by Xiake.com clearly states that this contract is not only bound to the game, but also to the production party.
As long as the contract is signed, it cannot be modified within a minimum of five years, and in the next five years, Xia Ke.com has the right of first refusal to sign any game that comes out of the system.
This is unacceptable to Zhou Lin.
Now that Zhou Lin has no reputation, he can barely accept four or six points, and when the "Zhou's Cube" succeeds, of course he will not be able to endure such a big exploitation.
Will the "Zhou's Cube" succeed? That's a certainty. Even if it can't reach the terrifying sales in the previous life, only one-half is an astronomical amount, how much money can you make in five years?
As for the games to be developed in the future, whether it is Plants vs. Zombies, Cool Running Every Day, Warcraft, Diablo, or Diablo, they must all be big selling games, how can they all be signed to Xiake.com!
"What a group of black-hearted capitalists!" Zhou Lin was indignant for a while, and secretly wrote down all the tricks of these black-hearted capitalists, and when he founded a literary empire in the future, these tricks would have to be used......
scolded and scolded, and after scolding, Zhou Lin fell into distress.
These overlord contracts of the three major distribution platforms can never be agreed, but if you don't agree, you can't issue them on them, and although the contracts of other small platforms are relatively loose, they are useless.
"Grandma, I won't play with you anymore. I don't believe it, I'm a reborn person who will be forced to die by you black-hearted capitalists. Can I play by myself?" Zhou Lin thought about it and finally made a very risky decision.
He doesn't cooperate with anyone anymore, and publishes it himself!
