Chapter 228 New Sharing Agreement (4000 Equal Additions)
Regarding the news of "The End of the World", Zhong Ming is actually not particularly concerned.
Although "The End of the Sword World" and "Taiwu Picture Scroll" are both martial arts themes, the game types are too different, and there are obvious differences in all aspects, which basically will not constitute any competition.
Even if "Taiwu Picture Scroll" and "Sword World" collided, it would not have too serious an impact.
What makes Zhong Ming more concerned is Chanel's virtual module.
Previously, Chanel's virtual module was well received at the science and technology exhibition, and many people said that they wanted to buy it, and after the official sale on the 23rd of last month, the number of online orders was indeed relatively optimistic.
It didn't sell out as soon as it came up, after all, there must be a process for this product to go from being released to being widely known.
However, in the case of very optimistic initial sales, Zhihuan Technology has also begun to overwhelm the advertising link to build momentum for this intelligent module.
Catalyzed by various factors, at this stage, Chanel's virtual module has finally accumulated a very good sales.
Now there are still a few days left before the release of the whole month, but according to Yang Chengye's estimates, the sales in the first month are very likely to reach 200,000, which also includes a part of the platinum collector's edition!
This sales volume is already very terrifying, although some bracelets with high shipments can even reach one million in the first month, or even two million, but that is a bracelet, it is a necessity for everyone's life, and the smart module is dispensable for many people, but it can sell 200,000 sales, which is already a very scary thing!
What's more, the sales of smart modules will not fall too much.
With the continuous publicity and promotion, sales may rise, at least not significantly, so that Shimmer Studio has obtained a channel to obtain stable income.
According to the sharing plan discussed before, for every smart module priced at 998 sold, Shimmer Studio can get about 40~50 yuan, and the platinum version can be slightly higher, so that every month is seven or eight million sharing income!
Zhong Ming could only sigh, this special money is much faster than making games, and it is really easy to make money from a dead house.
Of course, the success of this smart module has a lot of luck involved.
The image of Xia Nell is not often there, and the innovation of micro holographic projection technology is also at the right time, coupled with the technical reserves and accumulation of Zhihuan Technology in artificial intelligence, various factors are superimposed, and there is such a popular model, which can indeed bring profits for a long time, but the model is basically not able to be replicated.
A smart module of the Chanel model is very successful, and then there will be a Chanel model? Probably most people won't buy it anymore.
But no matter what, it's always good to have money to make.
When Yang Chengye told Zhong Ming the news, he was obviously very excited, and he could hear a smell of ambition over the phone.
The two of them also made an appointment for dinner by the way, which can be regarded as a simple celebration.
……
The next night, Zhong Ming arrived at the restaurant on time.
Yang Chengye and Zhao Shanshan also arrived.
After not seeing each other for a while, Zhong Ming felt that Zhao Shanshan seemed to be a lot more sensible, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.
"Mr. Yang is very busy, and you have to pick a time to make an appointment." Zhong Ming teased.
Yang Chengye waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "Hey, it's all busy." The prospect of the smart module is good, so I have been urging several marketing plans recently. Maybe you'll be able to see a large promotional image of Chanel on the subway and airbus. ”
Zhong Ming smiled: "That's good, if you help me fry Xia Naier, then I will lie down and make money." ”
"Do you think you're not making money lying down right now?" Yang Chengye said with a smile, "Just by dividing, there are seven or eight million a month, isn't this called lying down to make money?" Mr. Zhong, sometimes I envy you, I hate myself for not being this material, otherwise I would have gone to design! ”
"This is the crystallization of wisdom, and it cannot be mass-produced." Zhong Ming said.
Yang Chengye nodded: "That's right." But do you know that the person in charge of Xinghua Entertainment, who was in charge of docking with me before, regretted it and came to ask me if I could release intelligent module versions of other virtual idols, but I refused. ”
Zhao Shanshan drank juice on the side: "Can't you see that Mr. Yang, you are still so righteous?" ”
Zhong Ming smiled: "What kind of righteousness, Mr. Yang is a businessman, how can he push out the money he got because of righteousness, he just thinks it's not cost-effective." ”
Yang Chengye laughed: "That's the case." These big companies used to pay tens of millions of endorsement fees as soon as they opened their mouths, and they only sold some second-rate virtual idols, and a few signature virtual idols, like Su Bai and Dina, all of them were sold at sky-high prices. To be honest, at the beginning I really didn't have much confidence in this smart module, and I felt that it would be almost the same if I could sell 30,000 or 50,000 units in the first month, and I would spend tens of millions to find those successful virtual idols, which was a bit unbearable. ”
As a result, now this group of people saw that the smart module was on fire, and proposed that they could sign a sharing contract, why did they go earlier? I said before that I wanted to use a sharing contract, but none of these companies were happy and refused to budge at all, which made me angry. ”
"But ah, if you don't sign other virtual idols now, it's mainly unnecessary. The Chanel version of the virtual module is so successful that there is no need to develop other models in the short term, which belongs to its own market, and there is no need at all. What's more, most of the other virtual idols are taking the high-end route, star style, and the accompanying business is not too close to each other, and the market risk is not easy to say. ”
Zhao Shanshan asked: "Then sign the sharing agreement, don't you have to give much money if you mess up?" ”
Yang Chengye smiled: "That's right, but Zhihuan Technology also has to consider the impact, now that the Xia Nell version of the virtual module has been so successful, there is no need to come out with other versions in the short term." ”
The three of them talked a lot about the smart module.
Zhong Ming looked at Zhao Shanshan: "You are not cheating now, are you?" ”
"No more!" Zhao Shanshan said categorically.
Zhong Ming: "Well, that's right, you said that God gave you such a good-looking face and such a good voice, but as a result, you used it to cheat on the Internet, which is too tyrannical." ”
"What's the use of looking good, but you can't eat it." Zhao Shanshan pursed his lips, "I envy you, make a game, be a virtual idol, and make millions at every turn, faster than printing money." ”
"If you want to make money, you have to use your brain." Zhong Ming said.
Zhao Shanshan nodded violently: "Yes, yes, I like to use my brain." ”
Zhong Ming was a little crying and laughing: "You call it braining? You're so eye-catching! However, if you really want to do something serious, I think you can become a streamer. ”
Zhao Shanshan shook his head: "No, it's not like I haven't tried it before, no one looks at it, it's very frustrating." ”
"Hmm...... I can help you. Zhong Ming's eyes rolled, "But you have to promise me one condition." ”
"On what terms?"
"10% of the income from the live broadcast will be donated for public welfare. Redeem the character you lost before. Zhong Ming said.
Zhao Shanshan thought for a while: "Uh...... Yes. ”
Zhong Ming said, "Are you sure? I'm not talking about a month or two, it's permanent. ”
"Okay, 10% is 10%, anyway, it's good if I can earn a few hundred dollars a month from live broadcasting, what does it matter. If you really make money in the future, 10% is actually not much. Zhao Shanshan said.
"So that's it?"
Zhao Shanshan nodded: "Okay, no problem!" ”
……
The research and development of "Taiwu Picture Scroll" was smooth sailing.
Although the system of the game itself is relatively cumbersome, it is not very difficult to develop, and for programmers, as long as they understand the design ideas, it is very fast to do.
It's just that the design team is suffering, and the first week is busy as a dog in order to get rid of the design documents.
However, it is much better to enter the stable development stage.
"Taiwu Picture Scroll" was in the development stage, and not much news was leaked, even players who have been following Shimmer Studio don't know much about it.
However, there are other people who have been asking about the progress of the game, and that is the channel providers.
The staff of the major game platforms responsible for docking with Shimmer Studio are more or less paying attention to this new work.
Shimmer Studio has released three popular games in a row, which has fully proved its R&D strength, and these channel providers are naturally desperate, after all, from previous experience, as long as they can act as agents for Shimmer Studio's games, they are basically making money stably.
After making the first version of the game demo, Zhong Ming sent it to several channel providers who had been cooperating with him before to negotiate a specific sharing agreement.
Before, the agreements negotiated between Shimmer Studio and these game platforms were basically the most basic agreements, and the share amount was not high, after all, Shimmer Studio was not famous at that time, and if they wanted more shares, they would not give it at all.
Now that I have a successful work, I naturally have a lot more chips in my hand, and I can do special things, and when this game signs an operating agreement, it can increase the share amount a little.
The contract negotiated before is divided into three or seven shares, and there is four or six shares, of course, the game platform takes the lion's share.
This time, Zhong Ming's request was five or five points, or even six or four points, and he would take the lion's share.
