Chapter 308: WCG Conception

In particular, many professional events of LOL have been held internationally, which has brought this game to the top, and it has also relieved many Internet café owners. I just pray to God and worship the Buddha, and pray that LOL can live longer.

Today, Global Village is playing the role of the savior of the domestic Internet café industry.

After Bi Xia arrived at the company, he was warmly welcomed by everyone again, and now he is simply deified in the company. The company's three decisions so far have been led by Bixia, and all of them have been unprecedentedly successful.

CS signed agency rights with major regions around the world at the time of the game show. The price of a game disc in mainland China is 45 yuan each, and the sales volume is more than 3 million, not to mention that there are game props that can make money for the company. These items are added on the premise of not destroying the fairness of the game, and the only effect is just to look good, but it can bring a lot of profits to the company.

Huang Xiaoli reported to Bixia on the recent state of the company, and now the company's main focus is not on developing new games, but on focusing on two games, StarCraft and CS. Although these two games have Bi Xia's ideas, they have also made a lot of changes, and they still need to be tested for a while in operation, and they need to be slowly modified, upgraded, and add some new maps, etc., which will take time.

A game is not just a simple launch, the follow-up operation is very important, it must be corrected after passing the market appraisal, and after half a year and a year, the overall plan is almost the same, and then the manpower can be freed up to develop new games.

Of course, it's not like doing nothing and patronizing these two games. Before, the global village was like a newborn, and all games benefited from Bixia's creativity, but now the company is on the right track and needs to have its own design and development team, which is the right time for the company's design team to conceive new game solutions.

"It's a good idea, the company needs to have its own development team. This is important for the future, but I want to develop games that are based on a responsible attitude, and it's okay to be slower, but it's important to be more in the player's shoes. Bixia nodded, expressing approval, and at the same time said his own suggestion.

He started a game company to fund his own shooting, and in order not to let his films be interfered with by too many investors, but now that he knows more and more about the film industry, he realized that his original idea was a little naïve, if he had always been an independent producer. No matter how good his work is, it will be excluded by the entire circle.

Human emotions cannot be explained by comprehension, and jealousy is the original sin!

So Bixia has been looking for ways to balance investors and films. His current method is to try to find film companies or professional filmmakers to invest, and he tries to avoid contact with those financiers who don't understand movies but have a lot of money.

Unlike those financiers who don't care about money, film companies make money from movies. The success of a movie is a nerve-wracking thing for them. And they understand movies. Know where the rules are available and what will touch the bottom line, and don't make overly naïve demands like those donors. Work with them at the same time. It is also a model of complementary resources. It can save Bixia a lot of pressure.

So today, Bi Xia's original accumulation has been completed, and it is no longer important whether the global village game can bring him financial support again, and his idea is more focused on the purpose of promoting excellent games. When StarCraft was an international success, he was so happy with the pride on the faces of all the players in the mainland that he felt compelled to do something for them. He hoped that his idea would be implemented.

"Don't worry, I'm a gamer myself, and most of the people in the company have the same passion for the game as you do." Huang Xiaoli said with a smile. Although he is the CEO of Global Village, he is not a pure businessman. Maybe he's still young, maybe he still has blood in his heart, in short, today's global village doesn't have the twilight of other game companies in the mainland, they are very young, very motivated, and ideal.

"Haha, that's good, how is Ni Jing doing?" Bixia asked.

Speaking of Ni Jing, Huang Xiaoli showed a happy smile on his face, this is a man who is extremely gentle in his heart, Bi Xia believes that Huang Xiaoli is the most charming at this moment. "She's fine, a hospital in the United States is developing a drug that inhibits and restores cerebellar function, and I'm going to contact that hospital." Huang Xiaoli looked very relaxed when he spoke, not at all like a man whose wife had spinocerebellar degeneration, and he said sincerely: "I really want to thank you for your selflessness, Bi Xia, if it weren't for you, I don't know if Ni Jing is still there now, it was you who gave our family hope." ”

"Why are you talking about this, you are really ......" Bi Xia suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, not that he was fragile, but that the relationship between Huang Xiaoli and Ni Jing was too real, deep and touching, and he couldn't be indifferent.

Pinching his nose vigorously, he quickly changed the topic: "By the way, just now you said that the company is going to hold an e-sports competition, you can talk about this matter." ”

Huang Xiaoli also cleaned up his mood, now that everyone is fine, let him pass those dignified things. He cleared his throat and said, "Yes, we're planning an esports tournament. Nowadays, our StarCraft and CS market penetration rates are very high, but after all, we want to make them more popular through a tournament, and make these two games completely on the altar! ”

Bi Xia pondered for a while, he felt that this idea is very good, and there is an inexplicable connection between e-sports competitions and games, a good game must be recognized in e-sports competitions, in order to continue to expand its influence, in order to survive longer, and it is precisely because of these high-quality games that e-sports competitions can be liked by the public, which is mutually reinforcing.

In his memory, WCG, the benchmark event in the e-sports industry, abandoned the previous classic games in the last few years and replaced them with Tencent games such as "Crossfire" and "DNF".

"Did you decide on the size of the event, did you want to target these two games in a small way or if you wanted to include other games as well? Do you want to host a domestic or international event? Bixia lit a cigarette and asked.

"This is still under consideration, and the marketing department is conducting market research, in addition to the domestic market, we are also targeting other Asian countries, as well as Europe and the United States, to see the market coverage of these two games and the depth of player research before making a decision." Huang Xiaoli appeared very cautious.

This is indeed not a simple matter, it is not a hot brain, a tap of the brain can be decided, it needs to be carefully investigated. In recent years, there have been many international e-sports competitions, the United States and Europe have their own events, and even no game companies have exclusive events for the games developed by the company, but the mainland has not really owned its own e-sports competition.

If Global Village successfully hosts this competition, it will be the first in the mainland, which is a supreme honor, but it also comes with great risks. If they succeed, they will naturally increase the prestige of the global village game, but if they fail, they will face endless ridicule and abuse, so they can't be careless.

"Well, this idea is relatively mature, this project should be regarded as a key project of the company, but it is not urgent, the competition will be held as early as next year, and the preliminary work must be done in place."

Bi Xia's idea is very correct, although StarCraft and CS have caused a lot of sensation in the world, but their time is still too short after all. StarCraft has been sold to the world for less than half a year, and CS has only been more than half a month, and many wonderful connotations of the two games have not yet been explored.

Interestingly, the popularity of CS and the familiarity of players are still above StarCraft, and the previous Korean first-person shooter "CrossFire" really laid a good foundation. StarCraft requires everyone to start from scratch, but the game's good confrontation and operability have made the game more popular.

"Yes, I understand." Huang Xiaoli nodded.

"Actually, I personally think that if we want to do it, we can do it lively, make it an international event, and evaluate all the excellent games in the world, all of which are included, and we can choose to join forces with game giants in other countries to create the world's best, fairest and most authoritative e-sports event, and create the Olympics of the game industry." Bi Xia thought about it and said.

He suddenly thought of WCG, the pain in the hearts of all Chinese gamers in this memory. Yangyang, a superpower, does not have an e-sports tournament of its own, while South Korea, a small border country, hosts the world's most authoritative e-sports Olympics. Not only does it not have its own e-sports events, but even in e-sports, it has been suppressed by South Korea. Losing to South Korea at StarCraft, losing to European players in CS, and losing to South Korea and European players in Warcraft, it can be said that since the WCG was held, Chinese gamers have achieved very limited.

This is the unwillingness of the protagonist of the memory, which deeply affects Bi Xia at this moment. He wants to do something, he wants to change this situation, and now he has the ability and financial resources, and if he wants to do it, he must do a good job and strengthen him.

"If you want to do it, you can do the World E-sports Championship, called WCG!"

"Huh?!" Huang Xiaoli's mouth grew up, he didn't know why Bi Xia changed his attitude all of a sudden, but it sounded very uplifting, and he was also full of confidence in the company's two games. "I will talk to the marketing department and come up with a feasible plan."

"Well, we can do this......" Bi Xia and Huang Xiaoli discussed the detailed plan.

Bi Xia was in the company this afternoon, and at the end of the company, he also had a CS battle within the company, showing everyone his unparalleled superb skills.

Blind Sniper, Throwing Sniper, AK Strafing, M4 Burst, Sand Eagle Headshot...... (To be continued......)
