Chapter 91: The outcome is uncertain

The closed beta and publicity of "Zhu Xian" are in full swing, and the internal test is about to start in more than ten days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On this day, it was already late October, and a week had passed since Blizzard's press conference.

However, Gu Cheng is not proud of the current superficial success, he knows that he will regain his position in the domestic online game industry in the future, and there is still a lot to do.

So he took advantage of the current situation, played while pulling, and sent an offer to Blizzard on the United States side.

"You just sent an invitation to Blizzard and expressed your intention to obtain the agency rights of the World of Warcraft continent while operating "Zhu Xian" well in the future?

Regarding the offer made before getting off work (the corresponding time in the United States is in the morning), Pan Jieying, who was on the way home, always felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but kindly remind Gu Cheng of a few words.

"Why? I don't understand what you mean. Gu Cheng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his decision-making at all.

His idea was simple and clear: Zhu Xian, after his magic modification according to the setting of "Perfect World", was a promising game, but "World of Warcraft" was still a more promising game on a global scale. Moreover, the positioning and target audience of the two games are not the same, and there is nothing wrong with one company operating two games at the same time.

If it can be won, the position of the leader in the domestic online game industry in the future will not be firmly held by YY Entertainment and will be able to go sideways for at least five years?

2. If you accidentally step on the anti-theft chapter, you can wait until 6 o'clock in the morning to reopen the chapter. At present, the A-PP function has been upgraded at a certain point, and it will automatically remind the reader that a certain chapter has been modified by the author, and it should be. If you encounter a rare situation where the chapter is stuck and there is no way to fix it automatically, you can choose to delete the chapter and download it again. Deleting a subscriber who has already subscribed will not result in a second charge.

3. In order to prevent theft, in fact, the author is also very hard, and he has to get up at half past five in winter. You can try what it's like to get up two hours earlier than normal people 365 days a year without avoiding the cold and heat. With the tone of Luo Fatzi, who thinks logically, he sends a 60-second voice at 6:30 every morning, and he has been boasting about himself for several years. In fact, it is only the existence at the top of the food chain of the content entrepreneur, and he is already living a happy life.

4. I also want to be better and more attentive to codewords, such as fantasizing that after entering the boutique channel, I can support myself full-time by writing, and I can calm down and create stable and more 10,000-word masterpieces for book friends. But life must go on, if it is still the results of the previous book, and the income from the book alone can't even support his wife, there will definitely be no way to work full-time, and there will definitely be no way to bring readers more words a day.

The price of goods in Hangzhou is really forcing people to death. Actually, my materialistic desires are not very high, and I don't expect to be rich in writing. If I hadn't gotten married now, maybe I would have considered finding a small city with low prices on the coast of Guangxi, Qinzhou, Beihai, Fangcheng-Hong Kong, or something, and make a small house by myself facing the sea and write books in seclusion.

I won't say much about the pitiful words, the writers at a certain point must have more experience than me in mixing Huaxia than the miserable king, and I ask myself if I am indeed the worst.

……

Some of the ideas may be known to readers of the previous book, so I don't plan to write them in the normal chapters. Write it here, as many people see it. Everyone is a genuine user, and they can't see that this passage is better if I write it in vain. If you haven't read my last book, then the last thousand words of opinion can be glanced at twice

I once gave the example of Kevin Ashton, the father of the Internet of Things, doing market research at Dior Cosmetics: in the early 90s, among the subsidiaries of Dior in European countries, the sales of the British subsidiary increased the fastest. Therefore, they produce and sell what they need in the market, and their sales are rising.

However, at a time when Dior UK's various products are rising, only the lipstick production department is in serious decline, and the more it caters to the market, the more sales decline. In the end, Kevin Ashton did a deep follow-up and found the crux of the problem:

Lipstick is a product with a special subdivision of the category, just as many users need to slowly compare a color card of at least 50 colors when buying lipstick, and cannot quickly describe it with a model or two words.

Then, according to the normal weekly market research, it was decided that magenta A was a relatively popular color. Bright Red B and Pink C don't sell well. So Dior Britain's initial approach was to reduce the production of bright red B and pink C and increase the production of magenta A, and magenta A did sell out every time, but over time the total sales of all colors of lipstick were declining.

And the truth of the matter is that the vast majority of female consumers don't actually like magenta A, it's just a kind of color they can't buy their favorite color, for example, maybe the bright red B in the community where the noble lady lives will quickly run out of stock, and then the white-collar women who can't buy the bright red B will start to compromise to buy magenta A. In a neighborhood where students and girls live, the situation may be that pink C is quickly out of stock, and then female students who can't buy pink C start to compromise and buy magenta A.

In fact, if we score the customer satisfaction of a product on a 10-point scale, 10 points represent perfect customer satisfaction, and 8 points represent customer satisfaction that is barely enough to support the customer's behavior of paying for it. Magenta A, then, is a kind of existence that "barely makes do with 8 points for all users". Its "compatibility" is the best, and producing more of this color is not likely to lead to unsalable products in the short term, but in the long run, it will make consumers disgusted with Dior's brand, because not many women want to always be unable to buy their favorite color and have to make do with it every time.

And this value theory can actually be effective in the field of commercial literature in the future.

5. If you see this text, you are looking at a pirated version. Or maybe you woke up too early and accidentally got injured. If it was a mistake, the author of this book is very sorry. Reading these chapters after 6 a.m. is usually a good way to make sure it's normal.

……

As we all know, there was once a very famous editor who gave such an example to teach the majority of writers:

This is an example from a historical text, saying that when you write a novel other than Japan's Warring States Crossing Novel, it is best not to mention the words or concepts "wind forest volcano", "fast as wind, Xu like forest, aggression like fire, and immobile like a mountain" when describing the art of war in the book.

Although this concept was put forward in Sun Tzu's Art of War, because the majority of novice readers do not read serious books, and they are prone to play with the "Nobunaga Ambition" or "Taiko Rishi Biden" of the Dark Ei Company, and then arbitrarily think it

Maybe the author can explain and wake up those pure whites, but the user's heart will be unhappy, because they will find out that they are wrong, and then there is still a possibility of abandoning the text. Therefore, the author knows that the biggest taboo is to argue with the reader, even if what you teach him is right, they don't want to see it.

And you may not know that the combination of artificial intelligence technology and literary website display technology can actually be encrypted in text. For example, some websites use this trick to prevent theft, and automatically add dozens of places after a chapter is uploaded, and dozens of possibilities in each place do not affect the reading experience and semantic small modifications as text passwords. The principle of anti-theft is to make at least every user read the text chapter is not exactly the same, so that once you see the stolen content on the Internet, you can lock the pirated source account according to the text key combination of the picture, so as to lock the source account and increase the cost of theft.

But in my opinion, this technology is overkill.

If in the future, big data on user preferences and user habits can be collected more accurately. It is entirely possible to predict whether a user is a novice or a Kochi.

For example, it can be analyzed from the user's behavior and habits that after the user sees the words "wind forest volcano", will he know that this is from Sun Tzu's Art of War, or Xiaobai thinks that it was invented by Takeda Shingen. If it's the former, then let him see the original text of the original author of "Wind Forest Volcano". If it is the latter, in order to prevent his emotions from becoming uncomfortable, the software is used to automatically harmonize these words that may be uncomfortable and discordant in the eyes of these users. Let him go down forever and always see the answers he wants to see.

Just like Zhang Yiming did on a certain article today. Although this will lead to further fragmentation of the world and further fragmentation of cognition, many people really can't listen to anything and are spoiled, so let them continue to be like this. And once that technology is realized, there is no need for the author to check whether his text is compatible enough every day to become "magenta A", which is not perfect in anyone's mind.

I'm a person who believes in the future of technology to save the world, so I'm not going to learn how to compromise myself to avoid the "wind forest crater", and a person with ideas shouldn't spend time on a skill that will be obsolete in two or three years.
