Chapter 1404: Who Else Is I

ps: Thank you to my wife for the reward!

The release of the League of Legends: Shadow of War trailer was like a wolf jumping into a sow pen, and the upheaval it triggered turned everyone in the gaming industry around the world upside down.

No one could have imagined that it was just a promotional video for a game, but the Japanese otgames company actually had such a ability and really did it.

If you haven't worked in the game industry, you don't know how difficult it is to make such a promotional video that is only about 30 minutes long.

Because while the gaming industry is lucrative, no company is willing to shell out 10 million dollars to do it. No one knows if a game that has just been launched is going to be a hit or a complete hit.

If it's popular, then it's better to say that it's only a matter of time before the cost is recovered. But if you hit the streets, it will really be a loss.

Generally speaking, according to the common practice in the game industry, when a new game is first launched, the news is posted on relevant websites and forums, and then supplemented by some simple advertisements.

After that, how the game will perform depends on the feedback of players.

If the game is highly playable, it will eventually become a hit game as word of mouth from players spreads, eventually gaining a place within the competitive industry.

Conversely, as time goes by, the game will slowly disappear from sight. Unless it is deliberately mentioned, it will be forgotten.

How can there be such a thing as Cui Zhengyuan, and the future of the game is not yet known, and such a big battle is actually created. It is important to know that when "World of Warcraft" was at its most popular, Blizzard did not do anything like this.

The movie version of "World of Warcraft", which has been rumored to be boiling, is also full of twists and turns, and now the game has shown a decline, and there is no trace of it.

What's even more shocking is that with just a promotional film, OTGgames was able to invite a world-class director like Spielberg.

They've done intelligence too. knew that Spielberg made this promotional film, and the salary was only a measly three million dollars.

Although this number is already astronomical in the game industry, for Spielberg, such a value is not worth mentioning at all.

Besides, it's not a question of whether the money is or not, but whether you can ask for it. At least several times of all the companies in the game industry, no one dares to pat their chests and promise that they will be able to invite a big director.

By this time, many people were envious of the fact that there was a behind-the-scenes boss like Choi Jung-won at Otgames.

With such power, you can really do anything. Be willing to spend money. and willing to contribute, there is no reason for the Japanese otgames company not to be popular.

With the influence of Spielberg and Gir1Sgeneration, League of Legends has opened up its popularity countless times faster than its previous life.

Almost overnight, countless online establishments across Asia posted League of Legends posters in prominent places.

Coincidentally, these operators have all chosen the heroic role played by GIR1SGENERATION as a photo to attract customers.

This is a good thing for games, Internet cafes and gir1sgeneration.

In particular, gir1sgeneration used to be well-known outside of Korea only among those who followed Hallyu. Now, even if it's an aunt passing by who sells vegetables. I can point fingers at them.

Entertainment people in many countries have suddenly appeared, and gir1sgeneration seems to have become a phenomenon that has to be discussed.

In other words, they are really popular now. So,.

The entertainment industry is like that. When an artist starts to become popular, he has to work hard while his popularity is booming. Otherwise, maybe one day this popularity will disappear, and you won't be able to make money.

It's not like it's in Korea. GIR1SGENERATION is not yet in such a strong position in the international arena, so it is important to seize the time to carry out activities.

Of course, the girls are very happy with the current situation. They are still young. Earning money is far more important than comfort.

Women's careers as artists are very short, and they must make enough capital before they fall silent, so that they will not be sad in the future.

"Executive, this is the number of a month in League of Legends, and it was faxed by Otgames, Penguin, and EyedentityGames respectively." Jin Yuhan put the report on Cui Zhengyuan's desk, turned around and went out.

Cui Zhengyuan happily picked up the report, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he was also pleased with his decision.

League of Legends has been in operation for a month now, and in the three most important markets of the gaming industry, in addition to North America, China and South Korea can be described as popular.

According to current statistics, there are at least one million regular players in South Korea, and about 5 million interested players.

A regular player is someone who will be online for more than two hours a day on average, and an interest player is the one who occasionally logs on to 6 games but plays for more than five hours.

Although this game is free when you sign up for an account and play it. But because of things like beautiful skins, the benefits are still good.

The sky-high price of the Gir1Sgeneration skin launched by EyedentityGames has sold three sets so far.

For this alone, eyedentitygames earned 10 million. Sales of the rest of the cheap skins are even more booming, making up the most important part of League of Legends' revenue.

The most gratifying thing is the sales of game peripheral products, which jumped to the first place in the industry in just one month and became the choice of most peripheral collectors.

Today, League of Legends is a well-deserved leader in the Korean online game industry. The rest of the competitors simply do not have the ability to compete.

Compared to the situation on the South Korean side, the Chinese side is a bit scary.

Penguin's financial report shows that in the first month of operation, "League of Legends" has generated more than 1.5 billion yuan in revenue.

Compared to slightly sane Korean players. Chinese players are undoubtedly much crazier. Coupled with the large number of people, there are countless local tyrants among them.

Ten of the top Gir1Sgeneration skins were sold out within 10 minutes of their launch. There are even many players who have not bought it, angrily calling Penguin customer service to complain, complaining that the number of skins they have launched is too small.

For this reason, Ma Huateng also called Cui Zhengyuan in person to discuss whether to launch some similar skins on the spot. These are all white money, with his money-loving character, missing it is more uncomfortable than committing suicide.

However, Cui Zhengyuan also has his own considerations, because he said that only ten sets would be sold, which is why the skin can be sold so expensive.

If you go back on your word at this point. As the number increases, the price of the skin will definitely not be worth the price. Moreover, players who have previously spent a lot of money on the purchase will also feel that they have been cheated, and the trouble will also affect the credibility of the operator.

Although he and Penguin are just partners, they don't need to worry about each other's image. But since it is still in the cooperation period, it belongs to the relationship of both prosperity and loss.

It is important to know that once there is a problem with the endorsed product, most consumers will choose to anger the spokesperson.

Although in this kind of thing, artists are more innocent many times. But there is no place for reason. So in order to consider the image issue, Cui Zhengyuan still rejected Ma Huateng's idea.

Although the Supreme Skin Set is gone, there are still many individual image skins for the members. Players who can't buy a full set of skins instead buy individual skins. This sales volume is also very impressive.

According to the latest report by the Chinese gaming industry, League of Legends has risen to the second most popular among players.

As for not climbing to the top yet, that's because CrossFire, which has been running for many years, still has a large number of players.

It is worth mentioning that League of Legends has passed World of Warcraft. used to be the boss of the online game industry, but now it is Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year.

Now no one in the game industry around the world is laughing at Choi Jung-won's stupidity in selling Blizzard in the first place.

Opposite. Looking at the popularity of "League of Legends" and the decline of "World of Warcraft" today, many people are amazed by the keen vision of Cui Zhengyuan.

In the latest issue of "PCGamator", this matter was highlighted, and Cui Zhengyuan was given a new title of the most correct forward-looking in the game industry.

In the words of the editors: Want to make money? Want to make a lot of money in the gaming industry? Then follow Lance's footsteps and gaze.

The former "World of Warcraft", the current "League of Legends", and the still majestic women's club have proved again and again how sharp and terrifying this young Oriental man's eyes are.

Now he is not a ticket player and a bystander in the game industry, but a god who determines the rise and fall of this industry and the direction of the wind.

No one can ignore his influence, and no one can ignore his opinions. Even though most of this man's attention is not here, the game industry around the world will catch a cold for three days with the movement of a finger.

In this case, the IP1 professional league jointly formed by the CG Official Organizing Committee, Otgames, EyedentityGames and Penguin, and hosted by IGN in the United States, was officially released.

Different from the previous life, this event now has the participation of many powerful companies, and the strength is incomparably strong.

As soon as the prize money rules of the event were released, the blood of the world's masters boiled.

Players who think they have a chance are already gearing up to compete with the world's best players. (To be continued......)
