Chapter 232: Another game comes in
On the surface, the 2nd China Game Show is much higher than the 1st in terms of scale and quality. Moreover, even the number of visitors has reached tens of thousands, and the ticket revenue has reached several million yuan. With such a successful exhibition, the major media are naturally vying to report in a good direction.
As the top three Yangcheng Evening News, it gave a high score of 95 points to this game exhibition. The newspaper believes that the game exhibition held in Linchuan has not only vigorously promoted the domestic game industry, but also expanded China's influence. Many foreign players already know that there is such a game exhibition in China, especially with the arrival of companies such as Blizzard and Xueleshan. It also let gamers around the world know that in the far east, there is also a game exhibition like E3.
In addition, although Xinhua News did not focus on the exhibition. However, in the second edition, there is also an explanation, saying that the Internet game industry led by Linchuan is changing the level of communication on the domestic Internet. Affected by this, the pace of construction of major communication arteries in major cities in China has been accelerated, and even some urban and rural areas have begun to pilot projects.
And that's only part of the story.
Influenced by online games, he gave birth to a new generation of domestic netizens. Although many people are going for online games, the rich Internet content also retains a lot of netizens. For example, the TT instant messaging of Tang Dynasty information is an information software that benefits. There are also major portals, stimulated by the addition of new netizens. IP traffic is high from time to time.
With so much data, it shows the unique charm of the Internet.
These are traditional media, as the game portal 17173, his report, in addition to introducing some basic information about the second edition of the game show. The focus of research is on the products of major online game companies.
First of all, the first one to be introduced is naturally the "Zhuxian ol" of the Tang Dynasty network.
As the first online game company to launch 3D games, Tang Dynasty Network has always been highly anticipated by players. In particular, the production skills of the Tang Dynasty network are greatly innovated in addition to its own gameplay. This game company also makes good use of the plot in the novel and integrates it into the game as much as possible. When many book friends and players enter the game, most of them have feelings about many scenes.
Just like that 3-minute CG video, it has just been broadcast, and it has been transmitted to every corner of the Internet.
If it weren't for the fact that this 3-minute CG video was obtained as a scene in Zhu Xian's novel, I'm afraid that no matter how good it is, it won't be able to resonate with thousands of players, at most those game lovers like it. The video launched by Tang Dynasty Network this time has grasped this point. Whether it's a gamer or an ordinary netizen. As long as they have watched Zhu Xian, or like movies, or even like TV series, seeing the appearance of this video will move them a lot.
Of course, the light and shadow effects of CG videos have also shocked many people.
They never thought that the domestic light and shadow special effects could reach such a point. It seems that this 3-minute CG video is much more exciting than the ethereal journey of the year. Moreover, it is much more detailed.
In a word, produced in the Tang Dynasty, it must be a high-quality product.
If domestic game manufacturers want to occupy a certain market in the game market, they must start with the game itself. Whether it's from the quality of the game, or the gamers. You can only open up the market if you keep innovating. Otherwise, many domestic games can only be shrouded in the influence of the Tang Dynasty network.
This is 17173's advice to domestic game manufacturers.
Of course, there are also some game manufacturers in China who recognize this. For example, Perfect Plane, he has been working on 3D engines. Even this time the game show did not participate. Perhaps for ordinary players, Perfect Spacetime is not well-known, and it is not a large network company. However, for the 17173 portal, which has a deeper understanding, he knows that Perfect Time and Space really has the special surname of the Tang Dynasty network.
I just don't know, what is the game that Perfect Spacetime is going to develop in the future?
Put down the Tang Dynasty network, followed by the bubble hall under Shanda Network.
The first is the first completely free online game, and when Shanda Network sent out the news, it was highly anticipated by players. Because, whether it is a game manufacturer or a player. They all want to know how this game of Shanda Network is a free law. Finally, this game exhibition held in Linchuan City unveiled the game launched by Shanda Network.
His name is very cute and very cute, and his name is Bubble Hall.
According to Shanda Network's explanation, Bubble Hall is an entertaining and casual game, suitable for young people of both sexes, especially for female players. At that time, many game media felt incomprehensible about Shanda's explanation, and they believed that although there were more and more Internet users with female surnames online. However, online games are still dominated by players with male surnames.
They launched a game for players with female surnames, is it a head show?
It wasn't until Bubble Hall landed at the game show that they realized that this game was not only liked by girls, but even a large number of men were very interested in seeing girls playing. Judging from the bubble hall game exhibition area, although there are many girls. But when you compare, there are more boys than girls. Of course, they didn't come for the charm of the bubble hall. A lot of them are for girls.
In this way, a player with a female surname can recruit ten players with a male surname. It's really strange that Bubble Hall is not popular.
Moreover, the game of Bubble Hall is very casual and entertaining, and it is most suitable for young people to sell cuteness.
Many young people played Bubble Hall a few times, but they were reluctant to quit the game. Although, their skills are terrible, but it is not easy to play. What's more, Bubble Hall's completely free-to-play concept has broken the legendary monster-killing upgrade model. It's purely a technical competition, and finally, this technology has a very strong entertainment surname.
Therefore, before the bubble hall was listed, it had already won the favor of young people. As for the profit model of Bubble Hall, this time it can be regarded as an announcement. In addition to members, there are also some decorations and some props that do not affect the game, and the charging items of the entire bubble hall are still very loving.
It's just that many people can't help but ask, this bubble hall charges for such a small amount of things, can you make money?
Although, this prop charging model is also very innovative, and it should be a precedent for domestic game charging. This is worthy of our affirmation. However, no matter how innovative it is, it must also be practical. Many game manufacturers are thinking, is it possible, the prop fee of this bubble hall has another meaning.
As a result, many game manufacturers began to think about it after seeing the charging initiative of Bubble Hall. It stands to reason that Bubble Hall is a Shanda game, and Shanda Network is a subsidiary of Tang Dynasty Company. With the great name of the Tang Dynasty company, how could it come up with such a simple charging model? Come to think of it, many game manufacturers don't understand it.
In their opinion, this mode of charging for props can be possible. However, the player base must be relatively large. It's like a TT show. With such a TT base, we can support this innovative model of prop charging. It's a pity that Shanda Network didn't say anything about the charge for this prop.
It wasn't until a few months after Bubble Hall was in operation that other game companies finally saw the power of Bubble Hall.
Therefore, driven by Bubble Hall, some other companies have boldly innovated and entered the casual game market, which is not to be mentioned later.
After Shanda Network, other domestic game companies performed mediocre. Although there are many game works, however, few are innovative. Except for Daewoo, which has attracted a large audience due to its popularity over the years, some of the other games are quite ordinary. For this reason, while affirming the substantial development of the domestic game industry, 17173 also regrets this situation.
However, 17173 also knows. It's not that many game manufacturers don't want to make good games, but their strength is there, how can they make game products like Ethereal Journey. It's better to act as a random agent, or make a game by yourself, and seize the market first. Shanda Network, isn't it also so successful?
Compared with domestic games, European and American games shine in this game exhibition.
The most eye-catching is Blizzard, which has teamed up with Tang Dynasty to develop Warcraft 3. This time, Blizzard brought their Warcraft to the Chinese market. It wasn't until after the game show started that the players understood what the Tang Dynasty Company said at that time.
This time, the heroes of Blizzard, did bring a game of heroes.
This game is called Warcraft 3.
Players who have played Warcraft 2 before have seen the idea of heroes launched in Warcraft 3 and are very applauded.
It wasn't until a few veteran players tried out this Warcraft 3 under the banner of heroes that it didn't take long for them to be stunned by the huge system of Warcraft 3. This is the real strategy surname game, whether it is for the hero's work or for the study of the strategic surname. Warcraft 3 combines countless wisdom and micro-technology into one.
Sure enough, it is Blizzard.
After playing it, many players have said that the emergence of this Warcraft 3 may rewrite the current pattern of the world's competitive game market. Yes, they absolutely believe it. The appearance of Warcraft 3 will definitely be able to cause the madness of players around the world. Maybe, it won't take much time. Warcraft 3 will surpass StarCraft, surpass FIFA football, and even be on an equal footing with Counter-Strike, the hottest game right now.
…… The short second game show came to an end after two days, and many game manufacturers went home.
"David, are you really going to Tang Dynasty Venture Capital?"
It was the blonde girl who spoke.
After the game exhibition area, the Call of Duty Game Show came together to discuss whether or not to go to Tang Dynasty Network.
"I think so."
Although David also feels that this time he will go to the Tang Dynasty venture capital, he may not be able to play. It's not that they don't have confidence in their game products, it's that they're being rejected too much. Seeing that after the two-day game show, none of their Call of Duty companies came to consult, which also made them a little discouraged.
Now that the game show is closed, they took out the business card given by the young man, and they are trying to get Tang Dynasty venture capital.
"What do you think?"
David looked at a few of his partners on the side, but they didn't speak.
They knew in their hearts that if Tang Dynasty Venture Capital still couldn't accept their game, then the entire Call of Duty game group would be disbanded. In the end, half of the games that had been developed before were taken out and sold for hundreds of thousands, and then everyone dispersed.
It is precisely because of this that they hesitate halfway.
"Well, hopefully this is our last stop."
One of the big Americans, nodded, and decided to go to the Tang Dynasty Ventures.
Then the four of them came to the headquarters of Tang Dynasty Venture Capital.
"Hello guys, do you need help?"
The reception of Tang Dynasty venture capital was still quite high, and when he saw the same Westerners, the staff member communicated with them in English.
"Hello, we are from the United States and have a game that we would like to work with your company."
Several people didn't have much confidence, and finally David replied.
"Oh, yes. Why don't you register here? ”
Then, the receptionist took an English form and handed it to David and a few others.
David and several others have been in contact with many venture capital companies in recent times and are very familiar with the links of venture capital companies. It's just that they were rejected so many times that they didn't dare to fill out the form. Because, they don't know, after filling out the form. The next call was, "I'm sorry sir, your Call of Duty didn't pass our review. ”
It's just that if they don't fill it in, what can they do, it's better to fill it in.
David picked up the pen and filled in the details on this form.
"Hello, the general review cycle is about a week. If it has passed the preliminary examination, we will let you know. By the way, can you leave a specific contact information? ”
The receptionist looked at the contact number bar, and it was empty.
"That's right, beautiful young lady, we just came to China and don't have specific contact details yet. Can the review time be shorter? Because, we may leave China soon. ”
"I'll try to write down your requirements, but the company's procedures need to be completed, and it may take about seven working days. You don't need to worry, we also have to carefully review projects like this before we can decide. ”
Several people were a little embarrassed, and they didn't know whether to continue to wait or go back to the United States directly. Just when it was difficult for a few people to make a decision, David remembered the young man's business card for some time.
"Hey, guys, here's my business card, you can tell them that I introduced you here."
At that time, they always regarded this as a joke, including now.
David, who was a little hesitant, finally took out the business card.
"Hello, this gentleman called us here."
The reception lady of Tang Dynasty Venture Capital picked up the business card and looked at it, and there was only a name and a phone number written on it.
The name is all too familiar, it is the boss of the Tang Dynasty company, Chen Jiayi.
"Okay, you guys wait a minute, I'll keep you informed right away."
Who is Chen Jiayi, how could she not know, that is the highest boss.
After a few minutes, at this time, a beautiful lady appeared in front of them, "Hello everyone, I am Liu Sichen, the general manager of Tang Dynasty Ventures, and welcome to the ...... of China" (
