Chapter 37: No reservations
The next day, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu met Lu Yining, the general manager of the 77 Play platform, but the result of the negotiation was no different from that of Lewan.
Even in the process of experiencing the game, even the combat and special gameplay did not arouse the interest of the other party, and even the politeness was lacking, Lu Yining made a serious appearance and said Don't blindly pursue some so-called innovations, the small team of the new company does not have that capital, or think about what type the player likes the most now.
As for the setting of the paid concept and physical strength system, the other party didn't even talk about it, I don't know if I was interested in the game or didn't think about that depth at all.
Even Xia Qingyu couldn't help but say a little bit and said that someone must be the first to do an RPG page game, Lu Yining looked at Xia Qingyu with some surprise, as if he didn't expect the other party to say anything.
The negotiation lasted less than half an hour, and in the end, Lu Yining just said that he would go back and think about it, and he didn't even ask about their expectations about the agency fee.
To sum it up, it is just four words, and they are unhappy.
Xia Qingyu complained that it seemed that she was interviewing others, 77 played with a sense of arrogance from beginning to end, he seemed to be particularly confident in the quality of users on his platform, and it seemed that as long as he stomped his feet, a large number of R&D manufacturers were eager to run over to cover his legs.
Ye Shenxi quipped: "Do you now feel the mood of the group of fresh graduates who were interviewed by you at that time?" ”
Xia Qingyu smiled: "It's still too much." ”
The first two, which were also the two platforms that were originally more optimistic, basically collapsed.
Ye Shenxi was also helpless, 77 playing Lu Yining aside, for Wang Xue, he couldn't say that the other party's concerns were unreasonable, from the position of an agent, his approach was beyond reproach, after all, everyone has seen too many examples of rushing forward with a hard head but finally breaking the head and bleeding and losing all their money.
I just think that it is very likely that the rest of the Jinyou will also have the same idea, then this trip to Huangpu will be nothing, no, maybe the harvest is an increasingly intimate relationship with Xia Qingyu, but how should "Immortal Dao" be released?
The exclusivity fee of 5 million is not a very high fee, or is it a little lower? Even if you don't want agency fees, just share the profits? But this result is not worthy of the whole team's struggle over the past few years, and he doesn't want to bring Xia Qingyu and her herring fish network such a project.
Xia Qingyu saw the scruples in Ye Shenxi's heart, and said with a chic smile: "Isn't there another one, besides, the completion of our game is not enough, and when the system is more perfect, we can find an agent to continue talking." ”
Ye Shenxi said: "With the current degree of completion, = you can almost see the final effect, or our approach is really incompatible with the current market, and no one is willing to act as an agent." ”
Xia Qingyu waved his slender hand and said magnificently: "Then let's release it ourselves!" ”
Ye Shenxi snorted and looked at Xia Qingyu with some surprise.
Xia Qingyu continued: "Let's apply for an online culture business license, handle ICP filing and game operation filing, and operate it ourselves when we apply, it is not difficult to handle these things." ”
Seeing that she said the way she spoke, she had obviously studied it a long time ago, and she had already thought of the possibility of her own operation?
"So how do you import it?" Ye Shenxi thought down from her words.
It's really not difficult to apply for online game operation qualifications, but the difficulty is that there are no users, no guide channels, and no players know about this game, even if it is barely operated and no one plays it, it's useless.
Xia Qingyu looked very serious: "We advertise, print media, online media, TV media, subway, participate in various game exhibitions, I don't believe that no one plays such a good game as ours!" Anyway, our development cycle is so short, and there are funds originally reserved for standby projects, no matter how bad it is to borrow and borrow, there is always a way. ”
Ye Shenxi was silent for a while, and then looked at Xia Qingyu gently: "Do you remember telling you why we did page tours at that time?" ”
Xia Qingyu nodded and said: "Remember, the development cycle of web games is short, even if one fails, there is still room to do the second and third paragraphs to reduce the company's risks." ”
"What if it was used for advertising and failed?" Although Ye Shenxi is also very confident in the game, he still has to have such considerations.
"It's not going to fail." Xia Qingyu shook his head, his face unwavering.
Ye Shenxi looked at the girl in front of her, she was indomitable, she had no hesitation, she trusted herself so much, and pressed all her hopes on herself, even if this project was looked down upon by those experienced and experienced operation predecessors who controlled the market trend.
"You just believe me?" Ye Shenxi looked at Xia Qingyu's eyes seriously, and there was a flow in these eyes, I don't know if it was hers, or it reflected the tenderness in my eyes.
"No reservations." This is the answer to the herring.
"We're going to make it." This sentence is full of breath, but when Ye Shenxi hears it at this time, it has a moving power.
He didn't speak again, as if it was superfluous to say anything at the moment, he just stretched out his hands and hugged the soft body in front of him into his arms, in this noisy CGS exhibition hall, Xiangyu was full of arms.
……
……
On the third day, in the B2B (Business-to-Business) exhibition hall of business-to-business, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu came to the platform of Jinyou Network.
CGS not only has a B2C (Business-to-Customer) pavilion, but also a B2B pavilion for business exchanges and business cooperation.
The 3 products currently represented by Jinyou.com are performing poorly, and there are already signs of hitting the streets, but the contract has been signed, and the promotion still has to continue. Although Cai Ping had a feeling of breaking his teeth and swallowing it in his stomach.
He only returned to Huangpu today, and yesterday he also inspected a web game project and team in Yangcheng, and the operator of course also depends on the team's efficiency, the efficiency of the subsequent version, the feedback when the operation accident occurs, and the ability to communicate with the operator, all of which will directly affect the operation of the project. However, Cai Ping only has a four-word evaluation of that project: what a thing! also wasted him on a special trip to Yangcheng.
Cai Ping is very conflicted, the failure of the three projects Jinyou now urgently needs to find a product that can withstand the platform's income, expand the platform's popularity and influence, quickly establish the platform's position, and gain a firm foothold in the surging web game market.
But it was also because of those three projects that he was more cautious when choosing games, for fear of repeating the same mistakes.
The success or failure of a product is controlled by many factors, such as poor promotion, inaccurate user positioning, wrong operation strategy, and of course, more importantly, the quality of the game.
It's just that he feels that his head has fallen out now, and after inspecting more and more products and teams, his definition of good quality has become blurred, and the three models he operates are all excellent works that he used to think are of high quality, but they ended up slapping him in the face.
It's annoying, it's very uncomfortable.
is also to express admiration for the youth and image of the two in front of him, and then after a round of greetings, Cai Ping also began to experience this game called "Immortal Dao".
This game lasted for an hour, and Cai Ping unconsciously fully devoted himself to the game.
He has a very strange feeling about such a game, it is different from the games in the market now, as if from the beginning of entering the game, there has always been an invisible force pushing him, making him level up, let him improve his combat power, let him finish a copy and then want to play the next one.
Unlike Wang Xue, Cai Ping started as a grassroots webmaster, and before founding Jinyou, he had not been exposed to too many web games, had never exchanged experiences with those seniors, and did not have a conformist concept of the so-called player habits and market.
He doesn't have so much research and pondering about games from the perspective of industry insiders, which directly leads to him being more from the perspective of players when he experiences a game.
From the player's point of view, he felt that the game would be addictive.
Ye Shenxi elaborated on the side: "When we were making this game, we were always thinking about what kind of rhythm players should use for the novice experience. ”
"In the first 30 minutes of the game, we guarantee that at least every 5 minutes, there will be a new system or stimulus point to increase the player's combat power and stimulate the player to continue to level up."
Acquiring new equipment, opening up the realm system, opening up new battle slots, and recruiting new companions are all points that can be used to stimulate the player. The reasonable placement of these stimulation points reflects the planning's control of the growth rhythm of novices.
Cai Ping secretly admired in his heart, he has played a lot of page games so far, and none of them can achieve such a comfortable novice rhythm as "Immortal Dao".
"That's right, just now I saw a partner general in the tavern, and he can be recruited with only a little prestige, so I especially want to quickly increase his prestige to recruit him." Cai Ping agreed.
"The partners in the early stage are generally weak, but they still put a general, because he is also a very well-known "celebrity" and has a certain mass base, and players will be eager to recruit him. "What kind of partners to put in is also a stimulus.
When the big killer hunting system was opened, Cai Ping was even more able to hunt, and Wang Xue's reaction was more outgoing and more sincere than that day.
In the process of talking with Ye Shenxi, he realized that the original planning and design is not just a pile of gameplay systems, but also so many designs that seem to optimize the actual but crucial game experience, which he has not seen in other projects of other teams.
Of course, Cai Ping also noticed the idea of payment and physical strength system, Ye Shenxi gave the same explanation to Wang Xue, Cai Ping seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and looked thoughtful after listening.
"When is the project expected to be available to the public?"
"It's probably October, and if you improve efficiency, it's possible by the end of September."
Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu secretly exchanged a look, this platform is almost done.
Cai Ping is really very excited about this project, without concealment, in his opinion, "Immortal Dao" is very likely to become the real flag-carrying work of the Jinyou platform, he is almost about to sit down and start talking about the contract with Ye Shenxi Xia Qingyu, but the failure of the previous three projects makes him have to be cautious.
He has no objection to the agency fee, if the project can be completed, 5 million will be repaid in just two or three months.
"Mr. Cai, as far as my personal perception goes, the special type of web game has a short R&D cycle, strong explosiveness, and a life cycle, I think we all have a consensus on this point."
"That's true." Cai Ping nodded back.
Ye Shenxi thought for a while and continued: "So after a web game appears, a large number of follow-up products will soon appear, which is why the market has been filled with strategic products now. ”
"But there is a difference between copycats and pioneers, and the quality of followers is uneven, and players don't know what to choose. In many cases, the first RPG web game is such a name, and establishing an image of "martial arts authenticity" is more useful than a lot of publicity and promotion. ”
Xia Qingyu almost laughed when he heard Ye Shenxi's words, isn't this the first time the project team held a meeting when he said that he wanted to be a pioneer, and he took it out to fool people again.
Cai Ping said that he would consider the project of "Immortal Dao" well and seriously, and contact the Qingyu Network as soon as possible to reach a cooperation intention.
It's a very commercial statement, but anyone can see it with a look of emotion and excitement.
When the two said goodbye, Xia Qingyu inadvertently said that he hoped that you could reply as soon as possible, because there were several other platforms that had also reached a preliminary cooperation intention and were under consideration.
Cai Ping repeatedly promised that it would be, definitely.
Leaving the development hall, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu looked at each other and smiled.
"It's basically done." Xia Qingyu asked.
"Well, I don't have to distribute it myself."
