"We need to develop an online game, a game that will be popular as soon as it appears, and a game that will change the pattern of online games as soon as it appears!" Lin Qi said excitedly: "This game will be the first shot for WhatsMiner Games in the online game market!"

Online games make money, Chen Qian naturally knew this, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, waiting for Lin Qi to continue.

Originally, Lin Qi was going to develop a stand-alone game, and then networked this stand-alone game, but later Lin Qi found that it was completely unnecessary, and the level of networking in this world was enough to realize this online game by himself.

"This game is a first-person shooter game of firearms, its Chinese name is "Crossfire", if you can go out of the domestic market, you can think of an English name!" Lin Qi said jokingly.

"A first-person shooter?" Chen Qian looked at Lin Qi, his brows furrowed slightly, is there a market for such a game?

There are such first-person shooters in single-player games today, but not in online games. At present, there are two popular online games in China, one is a role-playing game of martial arts, and the other is a turn-based game.

However, due to Lin Qi's unbridled creativity and success, Chen Qian did not object.

Chen Qian didn't ask it, if he did, Lin Qi would definitely scoff at it, and would he have turned his nose up? Would you like to get rid of that? How popular was "CrossFire" in his previous life? It's just that he casually shot out later, which changed the balance of the game, and this is a bit of a decline, but there are still a lot of players.

"The whole game will be set up in two factions, one is called the Lurkers and the other is called the Defenders!"

Lin Qi introduced Chen Qian with a confident face: "Lurker, no one knows who created the Lurker Mercenary Company, and no one knows where its headquarters is. Some say it served Third World countries, while others claim that it had carried out "special missions" for rebels. ”

"So far, however, no one has found the person in charge of this company, and there is not even any law that can bind it. But at least one thing is clear to everyone: lurkers never serve the powerful. ”

"It has been said that the members of the lurkers have wild blood flowing in them - which makes them willing to serve weak and small countries, and even perform certain "special services". ”

"But to outsiders, everything about them is just speculation. ”

Chen Qian looked at Lin Qi, nodded and said, "The setting is good, it's good!"

Lin Qi nodded: "The defenders on the other side of the camp, as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Defender Mercenary Company, began to openly recruit members who had retired from various famous special forces. ”

"This mercenary company serves powerful nations in the name of keeping the peace. ”

"They claim to have the most righteous position, and if the fight goes against their convictions, they will not be moved, even if there is any temptation for more money. However, the defenders never reveal the specifics of every battle they fought, and were reluctant to say much about the insiders. ”

As a result, their public professed actions of "justice" have been increasingly questioned. ”

Soon, they began to be accused of being a tool of powerful states and large conglomerates. There are even rumors that many of the outstanding team members have left the company because of their actions at the Defender Mercenary Company that go against their ideals. ”

"The selling point of this game is that it is real, absolutely real guns, it must be done the same as in reality, an absolutely real battlefield environment!" Lin Qi raised his fingers and said seriously: "From sniper rifles, to pistols, to daggers and other equipment, everything must be real!"

"Each firearm has advantages and, of course, disadvantages, and these advantages and disadvantages, determine their strategic and tactical position. ”

"The combination and use of firearms between teams is also a crucial key to victory in the game. ”

Lin Qi told Chen Qian in detail about his setting of "Piercing Clouds and Fire", which lasted for more than three hours. Of course, Chen Qian also raised his own questions from time to time, and the communication between the two was very smooth.

"Battle mode and battle map, don't send too much in the early stage, and when players get tired of playing, we can launch a new installation package to update guns, battle models and battle maps!"

"In order to ensure the fairness and playability of the game, our game store does not sell items that affect the balance of the game!"

Chen Qian nodded, he understood this, but Chen Qian still asked, "What about the charging mode of the game?

The main way to charge for games in this world is point cards and buyouts.

Point cards are charged on a time-based basis, while buyouts are a one-time payment and then played permanently.

As for the free-to-play games that were rampant in the previous life, they have not yet become popular in this world, or because of copyright protection, people in this world have become accustomed to this consumption model.

This question, in fact, Lin Qi is also struggling, whether to choose the free model or the paid model.

In the free-to-play model, the game will definitely become popular in the short term, and the player participation is better, the number of players is also larger, and the money earned by relying on the game store will not necessarily be less.

As for the charging model, it is natural to make more money, but the number of people playing will be relatively small, which is a difficult problem to choose. In his previous life, Lin Qi didn't have to think about it, and went directly to the free model.

As for being in this world, Lin Qi didn't think of what model was better for a while.

"I think it's better to charge for a buyout!" Chen Qian saw Lin Qi hesitating, and hurriedly said on the side: "Being able to accumulate a large number of gamers is also suitable for our game!"

Chen Qian still knew Lin Qi very well, and as soon as he saw Lin Qi's appearance, he knew that Lin Qi definitely wanted to be free.

I don't know why, my boss has a different kind of attachment to free, but Chen Qian is a native of this world, and he prefers to think about problems with the way of thinking of this world.

The charging model is very popular, and it is naturally deliberately cultivated by everyone.

Chen Qian had also heard of Lin Qi's free game, but Chen Qian felt that this was breaking the rules of the industry.

This online game of firearms developed by WhatsMiner Games, once it is free, the shooting firearm stand-alone game is estimated to be dead, and there will be a lot of fewer players.

Most players who are loyal to single-player games will no longer choose to buy single-player games.

Once this kind of example is opened, and everyone does it, it will have too much impact on the entire game industry, or for the single-player game industry.

As the general manager of WhatsMiner Technology, Chen Qian has seen the power of free, the power of Shenma antivirus is invincible, the installed base has exceeded 100 million, occupying nearly half of the antivirus software market, and this share is still growing.

"I still think it's better to be free!" Lin Qi looked at Chen Qian, thought for a while and said.

Different from Chen Qian's idea, Lin Qi knows one thing very well, there is not much overlap between stand-alone gamers and online gamers. Playing free online games does not delay players from spending money on paid stand-alone games.

What's more, are free-to-play really free? No one is naïve enough to think that free-to-play games are really free.

However, Lin Qi also considered another problem of "CrossFire", that is, longevity, and the way to maintain the longevity of a game is naturally to make a profit, a long-term profit.

Once CrossFire is free, it's time to increase your income elsewhere. In the previous life, there were all kinds of magic guns, which was such a consequence, the loss of fair **** players.

"No, I insist on the model of buying out fees!" Chen Qian did not retreat this time, but insisted.

After staring at Chen Qian for a while, Lin Qi nodded and said, "Let's make the game first, and then we'll discuss this issue!"

Chen Qian was not sure about Lin Qi's attitude, but he was not ready to back down this time, he wanted to insist on his ideas. In Chen Qian's opinion, he must not let Lin Qi "mess around" like this.

"Okay, then let's do it first!" Chen Qian also nodded.

"By the way, you have to hurry up about the video website, I have already ventilated with Shenma Entertainment, Dong Weiwei's concert in the magic capital, Shenma Video will be broadcast live on the whole network!"

"Also on the same day, our WhatsMiner video was officially launched, and two major sections of video sharing and live broadcast were launched at the same time. ”

Walking out of Chen Gan's company, Lin Qi turned around and said, "You send someone to contact you, and directly find Chang Zong, Shenma Entertainment, she is responsible for this matter, understand?"

"Don't worry!" Chen Qian nodded: "I will personally supervise this matter!"

After leaving the Shenma game, Lin Qi relaxed for a few days, but he didn't stay idle for too long.

"Hey, Chang Xin!" Leaning lazily on the sofa, Lin Qi picked up Chang Xin's phone and said with a smile: "Is there anything wrong?" Weiwei hasn't gotten up yet, if you look for her, you'll have to wait!"

"I'm looking for you!" Chang Xin said directly, obviously not wanting to be poor with Lin Qi: "I contacted the TV station here for the TV series, and Hongguo Channel and Imperial Capital Channel have ideas here!"

"What about the conditions?" Lin Qi asked directly without thinking about it.

"Hongguo TV asked for the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights, and gave the price of 200,000 episodes!" Chang Xin paused here, obviously waiting for Lin Qi's reply.

200,000 episodes?Lin Qi smiled bitterly, it's really the price of cabbage!

There are only 24 episodes of the entire TV series, 200,000 episodes, and a total of 4.8 million.

Although the cost of this TV series is not high, it also cost more than two million, and this is not counting the salary. Although there are no big stars, this salary also cost more than one million.

If this price is given to Hongguotai, there will basically be no money to make.

"What about Imperial Capital Terrace?" Lin Qi thought about it, although Hongguotai is very suitable, but the price is too ruthless, and it is clear that he is bullying newcomers!
