Chapter 538: The champion bonus starts at $500,000

Seeing the panicked look of his subordinates, Robert's face sank, took the document, and looked at it carefully.

"The first WCG performance project "Need for Speed" won $500,000 for the champion, 200,000 yuan for the second runner-up, and 100,000 yuan for the third place. Elite players can join the KTT Cranberry Cube Esports Club in the United States, specializing in racing competitive games. The top 10 players will also have the opportunity to participate in the filming of KTT-related racing movies, or join KTT to become professional game testers, receive a fixed salary, and get a stable ......"

The more Robert looked at it, the more angry he became, and after only half of it, he tore the paper to shreds and threw it all over the sky: "Shameless, shameless!" This is video game competition, not an entertainment industry draft, and not employee recruitment! The prize money for the champion turned out to be $500,000, bastard! KTT this is deliberately aimed at us! ”

Those promotional slogans for making movies and joining employees as employees, in his opinion, are all useless gimmicks that are not worthy of the name, and he really wants to let a game otaku with a passerby face to make a movie, he thinks this is a big joke, no director will tolerate the investor stuffing a group of zero-based actors in, if you really want to, it is definitely the life of the dragon!

But in all fairness, he has to admit that these gimmicks are really bluffing, and as soon as this statement comes out, I don't know how many young people with star dreams will be fooled into walking on the big ship of WCG because of this.

"Bastard! I should have thought of this trick earlier, EA also has game testers, Sony also has Columbia Pictures, I made a mistake, I didn't expect Longteng and KTT to be so shameless false propaganda! If you can do it, I can do it too! Robert gasped and walked around quickly and irritably. He tried to calm down, looking for a countermeasure.

Look at the shredded pieces of paper. The subordinate was a little trembling and reminded: "President." In fact, they are the same, only for performance third-party games to disclose bonuses, and do not explain the other games of Longteng Intellectual Property...... But it's clear that they're beating Namco's Ridge Racer 2...... What do we do next? ”

yes, what to do?

In a fit of rage, Robert automatically ignored the first half of his subordinate's prompt, and he only heard three words.

A few days ago, CPL provoked, but WCG not only followed the bet, but also returned the words "I follow, and I am 600,000 bigger than you", which made Robert feel like a bone in his throat. The ball was kicked back and the problem was in his hands again.

"It's hateful that the people at Time have just left, why am I so unlucky...... I just said that CPL is the professional e-sports tournament with the highest prize money in the world, and Long Teng gave such a disgusting answer, doesn't this force me to continue to increase the prize chips? If I hadn't done it, wouldn't the interview with me in Time Magazine become a much-anticipated joke? No, this must not be the case! ”

Robert was depressed, not expecting an interview with Time magazine an hour ago. It will make him suddenly fall from the clouds to hell, which is completely illusory, and I am afraid it will be counterproductive!

Hearing the persuasion of his subordinates, Robert crouched down and picked up the scraps of paper. The tear is not too broken, it can be glued well, and he still has some content that he has not read. He was carried away by the rage, and he had to calm down.

The subordinate hurriedly took out another copy from the folder. I thought to myself, I printed two more copies and handed them to Robert again.

The second half of Longteng's announcement is still in that businesslike tone. They thanked their partner company KTT for their strong support, and also welcomed other game companies to approach Longteng to add more competitive games to WCG, making it the world's largest and most extensive esports event.

The subordinate was right, and Robert noticed the tone of the dragon, as if they were also aware of the flaws in the WCG system.

If all the games on the WCG are controlled by the Dragon Teng family, as long as the WCG gets bigger and bigger, and the number of games increases, it will be a very terrible expense every year, and a company will definitely not be able to undertake such a large project, but they claim to be the Olympics of e-sports, and the introduction of third-party game producers to share the cost is the most correct way.

Yang Yun certainly knows this, in real history this is called a single sponsorship of game producers, for example, Dota 2 was paid for by Valve, and in the era of his rebirth, it became the game with the highest prize money in the competition, from the initial champion team as a whole million dollars, after a few years of development, slowly to the champion team single million dollars, making TI a single world-class e-sports competition with only Dota games.

But WCG can't do this, it can only be big and complete, small and specialized is not its style, the rules of the game limit itself, so the amount of bonuses reserved by Yang Yun is not large, KTT can give 1 million, that is because of the sponsorship of the Blackstone Group.

Long Teng's response was reasonable, and Robert was a little envious of Long Teng's good luck, and there would be no shortage of unjust people who were willing to pay money.

"It's not going to be easy, and the WCG is starting to openly look for sponsors from all over the world, and they plan to dilute the cost."

……

"The championship prize starts at 500,000 yuan, so KTT must be prepared to invest at least 1 million US dollars, which is real money."

……

"According to the calculations of our Wall Street team, the average cost of a game cannot exceed 1 million, otherwise it will definitely be in a state of loss. If every game of Dragon starts at this level, I doubt that they will be able to sustain it, are they planning to trade time for space, not make money, or even lose money to seize the market? ”

……

"I think I guessed what they meant! Then this is the only way for us to deal with CPL! Yang Yun, you forced me, even if I can only stay at EA for another year, I will make your life unhappy and make your first WCG a joke in the eyes of gamers in the world! ”

……

Robert discussed the matter with his think tank for a long time, and then discussed the matter with Ken Kutaragi in the next two days, and he planned to set the first prize of "Command & Conquer" at $600,000, the runner-up at 300,000, and the third place at 150,000, with a total of 1.2 million for this game, surpassing Need for Speed, even if it would exceed the CPL's projected loss threshold, he would not hesitate to do so.

"NBALive96" is the same as "FIFA96", the championship prize is set at 500,000, the runner-up is 300,000, the third place is 100,000, and the total prize money is 1 million.

In addition, EA also gave a promise that they would recruit the best gamers to enter the EA game testing department, become official EA employees, and it would be no problem to feed a few game testers, not to mention that in the future, you can also take these racing masters to team up to brush up on the copy of WCG racing competition every year, and he also wants to take a bite of meat from Long Teng's body, he fights, people can't live if they don't go crazy!

……

……

The ball was kicked at Long Teng's feet again, but Yang Yun was listening to Lin Zhihong's complaints, and he was smiling very happily.

"Mr. Yang, so many things are handed over to me, I am going to have a split personality! The WCG game baby beauty pageant asked me to write a planning book, the people from the Dishui Lake Film and Television Game Base asked me to discuss the list of invited crews, the script of "Fast and Furious" asked me to finalize, and "Initial D" asked me to cast, I am not familiar with the entertainment industry in the mainland and the mainland, and this haunting CPL is still adding to the chaos......"

Lin Zhihong's eyes were red, and he stayed up all night.

He is really about to be driven crazy, he has been busy promoting WCG recently, and there are a lot of things, Wang Zhe has shared a large part of it for him, but Longteng Entertainment Film Company still has a lot of daily affairs on him.

Yang Yun smiled: "The heavens will descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, I hone you This is a good thing!" Besides, anyway, Cao Nini has a big belly and it's inconvenient for that, you young man is hot, if you don't find more things to do, won't it hurt your body if you are ruthless? ”

"Brother, ......" Speaking of this, Lin Zhihong's stomach was full of bitterness, and he almost hugged Yang Yun and cried and complained: "Don't mention my sadness, okay?" I said in front of you, it's really not good to get married too early, what love at first sight, what steals the household registration certificate when you meet, what cross-strait marriage and family carnival, that's all a deceitful fairy tale, I'm wronged......"

Yang Yun patted him on the shoulder, trembling with laughter: "Seeing that you are working so hard, I will reluctantly take over the CPL matter for you, and I will release a super nirvana." ”

Yang Yun was very cautious about this super nirvana, and only when Wang Zhe and Zhao Yongping, who were in a hurry, came back, did Yang Yun announce his thoughts.

"I've decided to ignore a stubborn opponent like the CPL and I'm going to run the WCG exactly as I want it to be."

Everyone nodded in unison, and Zhao Yongping smiled: "I have long wanted to hear you say this kind of thing, we have the most game users in the world, and we have such a good reputation, in fact, we don't have to pay attention to the minds of competitors at all, we just need to do our best." ”

Wang Zhe was also relieved, he sighed: "After working hard in Fengyun for so many years, I have never felt so tired. It's easy to figure out the psychology of the Japanese people, but it's hard to control the idea of the whole world. CPL is doing this, I've been annoyed for a long time, isn't it just the second and third children getting together to rebel? Cut! Don't see if they have the ability to do it! ”

"Without three thirds, how dare you go to Liangshan? Mr. Yang, you really don't have to be too nervous about them. Zhao Yongping said with confidence: "Looking back on the past, as long as you make up your mind to point out a general direction, coupled with the concerted efforts of our people, we will definitely be able to defeat any opponent!" You say, how to put this super nirvana? (To be continued......)
