Chapter 199: A Swarm of Ants

Light rain.

The breeze is the weather in the second month of the lunar calendar, warm and cold at first.

For Zhang Tan, good news and bad news come one after another.

First of all, the good news, Zou Tao of Xishanju told him the news, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a stand-alone game priced at 69 yuan, sold 100,000 units after 20 days of listing, becoming the game published by Xishanju in the past dynasties, the best sales start.

For stand-alone games, because the problem of cracking piracy is more serious, the sales of genuine games have always been a problem, and the best sales in mainland China are "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" under Daewoo Information.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy II", released in January 03, sold about 100,000 copies in the mainland. Xiansan, which was released in August 03, sold a total of 120,000 units in the mainland. In 04, Daewoo Information released "The Legend of Sword and Fairy Three Gaiden. Asking for Love", some fell, and only tens of thousands of sets were sold.

And Daewoo Information's other classic game "Xuanyuan Sword", the sales in the mainland are almost 70,000 or 80,000 per edition.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which sold 100,000 copies within 20 days of being on the shelves, undoubtedly raised its eyebrows fiercely for Xishanju. It's only been 20 days, and there are still more than 40,000 sets of shipments on the market that have not been supplied.

Of course, it is not enough to just grasp the mainland market, but also to distribute goods to Taiwan, which is a big market for games. It must be known that Xiansan only sold 120,000 sets in the mainland, but it was almost 400,000 sets in Taiwan. If Xishanju wants to fully compete with Daewoo Information, the Taiwan market cannot give up.

Fortunately, Zou Tao is full of confidence and has already negotiated with Taiwan for an agent. In the near future, it will be distributed in Taiwan.

With the excellent production of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", as well as the charm of the live-action cutscene. There is also the huge name of "Condor Shooting", and the agent of Taibend is interested in this stand-alone game. The evaluation is very good, and I think it will not be much worse than the Immortal Sword and the Xuanyuan Sword.

Indeed, players who bought this game generally gave a high evaluation, thinking that the plot, picture, playability, and smoothness are very good, especially the live-action cutscene, which is quite immersive, making them feel as if they are in the scene and linger. It's much cooler than just watching TV series.

Seeing the great success of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Xishanju immediately announced the development of a sequel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The adaptation rights of "The Condor Heroes" have long been signed, and Zou Tao also urged Zhang Tan to hurry up and write the third part of the Condor Trilogy, and continue to cooperate.

In this regard, Zhang Tan silently complained in his heart: "Is this the rhythm of "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes"? ”

Immediately Zhang Tan told Zou Tao: "Actually, you should consider the online version, online games are a popular trend in future games, and both stand-alone and online games are grasped." It is difficult for Xishanju not to rise up. ”

"Makes sense." Zou Tao said affirmatively, "We do have plans for online games in Xishanju now, and I believe it will be soon." "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be launched into an online game version. ”

Zou Tao gave a positive answer, and Zhang Tan thought it was good.

Because it has been adapted into an online game, it can collect some copyright fees. The original adaptation rights were limited to stand-alone games.

Money can be channeled, and money is the most useful.

Once Zhang Tan aspired to be a rich man. Living in a villa, driving a luxury car, wearing gold and silver, and enjoying the delicacies of the mountains and seas, after doing it, I feel that money is nothing more than a number. However, in just half a month. Zhang Tan felt that money was really something that couldn't help but be spent, so he opened a micro. Bo Technology Co., Ltd., recruiting a complete set of employees, is ready to start building a website.

When the first phase of the website's plan was made, it was suddenly discovered that the five million deposits were thrown in without a sound, and they could only maintain the demand in the early stage.

Small. The technology required for Bo is not high, but you get what you pay for, and if you want to make a good website, you have to spend money, and the hardware and software have to cost money.

"I'll you, I'm burning money every minute!" Looking at the bill, Zhang Tan couldn't help but be a little shaken.

It can be said that he is a novice when it comes to starting a company, especially Internet companies, and when he read the reports of those successful people in his last life, he seized the opportunity to soar into the sky, and there was almost no difficulty. It was his turn to know the difficulty.

"Forget it, let's support it first, and then talk about it. Bo got out...... I'll contact the venture capital again, flicker, brag, and pull some funds to come over. I use my own money to burn it, I really can't bear it, and if I want to burn it, I have to burn someone else's. ”

Start a company to engage in micro. Bo is the product of Zhang Tan's hot mind.

Therefore, after discovering the difficulties, Zhang Tan's first reaction was not to rise to the challenge, but to retreat. Because he didn't regard opening a company as a big deal at all, just a side hustle.

His real life is writing, directing, writing songs, eating, drinking, and having fun, and being windy. Sao's literary and artistic life.

Immediately, Zhang Tan was relieved: "Haha, Sister Li, fortunately you didn't agree to buy shares at the beginning, I found out that my business this time has a high probability of hitting the street, and I will lose my life, miserable!" ”

Li Yan has cooperated for so many years, knowing what Zhang Tan's concept of money is, and said with a smile: "You are just joking, even if you lose money, you won't care too much." Luzhou Studio, now the copyright scale involved is as high as tens of millions, and I haven't seen you ask anything, as if this is not your company. ”

"Isn't this Sister Li, you and my parents here, I just write the book, and then wait to spend the money."

"Actually, you have confidence in yourself and know that you can live the life you want with just a pen, so you don't mind what is outside of you. You can earn as much money as you want. ”

Zhang Tan said modestly: "Writing is also very brain-consuming, maybe one day if you are uninspired, you will hit the street." ”

……

The easiest thing for literary and artistic youth is to have a hot brain.

Small. Bo's entrepreneurship is like that.

It was a difficult road, but Zhang Tan decided to be optimistic. Their own advanced vision, how much can play a certain guiding role, plus call friends to register micro. Bo, this innate condition is much stronger than the previous rice network, the crooked network, and the muttering network.

Rice no, crooked, muttering and still wind and water for a period of time, their own initiative of micro. Bo, occupy the "micro. The concept of "Bo" is also a hurdle that products cannot get around in the future.

It's good to really hit the street, at least let Zhang Tan understand that he is not suitable for business.

You will be able to engage in entertainment with more peace of mind.

Besides, it is certain to leave a name in history.

Mention micro. Bo, inevitably ask him to shout "micro. Father of Bo".

The game is good news for micro. Beau is bad news.

Other news also flashed in Zhang Tan's ears one by one, and Ma Weiwei was reporting the news related to him this week: "The news from Xiangxiang Jade Dynasty Publishing House, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been serialized, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is currently serialized to the third issue, and the sales volume has remained at about 150,000 copies, maintaining the top position in the comic sales list. ”

"What about the four famous catches?"

"The serialization of "The Four Famous Catches" is somewhat inferior to the Condor Trilogy, but it has also maintained a sales volume of about 100,000 copies, ranking third on the Xiangxiang comic sales list. The two comics occupy the first and third, Mr. Huang Yulang is very satisfied with the cooperation with the boss, let me tell the boss that if you have time, you must go to Xiangxiang to play, he has a treat. ”

"Lao Huang just give Qian Shuangli on the line, it's okay to treat you, I've been to Xiangxiang twice, and I've visited all the attractions that should be visited. When to come to a station is not bad, go to the island to eat a few tea eggs! When I have time, I will go abroad again, and it seems that I have only been abroad once, to South Korea to watch the World Cup...... By the way, is there any other news? ”

"Well, there are also sales figures sent by several publishing houses, this year, boss, your novels, the sales momentum is still booming, firmly occupying the top of the best-selling book list...... Then there is the reporter's interview request. ”

"Forget about the interview, I just went on a TV interview, and now it's low-key and low-key, anyway, these interviews are all clichΓ©s."

"Oh yes, boss, there is also the Chinese Writers Association here that invites you to participate in the literary seminar of the beginning of spring, will you go?"

Zhang Tan frowned: "Push it away, say that I have shallow qualifications, so I won't go." ”

As early as last year, Zhang Tan joined the Chinese Writers Association, which is basically a mainstream literary circle, affirming his achievements in recent years. After entering the Chinese Writers' Association, Zhang Tan felt that he was more or less popular, so he actively participated in several meetings of the Writers' Association. However, the meeting was purely about drinking tea and chatting, listening to the unknown writers of the older generation, you touting me, I praising you.

Zhang Tan went a few times and dozed off a few times.

Of course, there are also some issues to improve the treatment of writers and raise awareness of copyright, but they are only talking, and they have little effect. The treatment of writers depends on the face of the market, and the awareness of copyright has to be supervised by the national department.

Now, the title of the writers' association, in Zhang Tan's eyes, is completely classified as a tool for pretending.

Of course, this is just a simple tool for pretending, a springboard.

Zhang Tan is also planning to play with the title of a CPPCC member as a representative of the literary world. Although the CPPCC is also a large decoration, it is also one of the two sessions of the National People's Congress, and Zhang Tan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, may not be able to do it, and it is also possible to hold a CPPCC.

After all, you can participate in politics.

……

After listening to Ma Weiwei's report, Zhang Tan stretched and suddenly asked, "Weiwei, have you read the beginning of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" I wrote? ”

"Looked."

"How does it feel?"

"It's a completely different feeling from reading Condor Shooting and the Four Famous Catches, Li Xunhuan is too old, but it's very good-looking, and it has a special attraction. I feel that the style of the text is a little different from your previous works, and it is more poetic. Ma Weiwei carefully talked about her reading experience.

Zhang Tan sighed: "Alas, of course it's different, I wrote "Xiao Li Flying Knife", and I felt like I was writing poetry. I'm a poet now, Vivi, can you believe it? Unbelief? I'm going to write a poem for you right now! ”

Stand up with your hands behind your back.

Zhang Tan swept his eyes and saw the trees outside the window, and his eyes lit up: "There is!" ”

Coughed at the moment: "The name of this poem is "I Finally Found Under a Tree", Weiwei, listen carefully......

An ant.

Another ant.

A swarm of ants.

There may be more ants! (To be continued.) )
