Chapter 62: Speak from the heart
Ye Shenxi's speech lasted for an hour, 10 minutes more than the originally scheduled 50 minutes, and even then the organizers did not come to the stage to remind or disturb him, and even provided 20 minutes of questions from the audience after the speech.
The keynote speaker behind Ye Shenxi is Cheng Hui, the page game producer of Beijing Wanxiang Technology, who was originally going to share the social elements in RPG web games through their product "Dog Travel", but now he is helpless, he can only slightly compress his speech time, if he doesn't want everyone to miss the meal at the end.
Ye Shenxi's speech was obviously about retaining users, but many of the questioners still asked about paid content, and it seems that in the minds of most producers at this time, monetizing users and traffic is the issue they are more concerned about.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Ye Chenxi attended the dinner of China GDC, which was sponsored by Yangcheng Software Park.
Unlike the traditional Chinese dinner with dozens of tables, this China GDC dinner adopts the form of a European and American buffet, after all, everyone is not here to fill their stomachs, but to communicate with more peers, you can't let people want to find someone to chat and have to run to another table to sit.
The people who are eligible to participate in this dinner are the top executives from major companies, and some small team producers are not invited, and the conversation here is more about business cooperation than game production.
Ye Shenxi was standing by the window at this time, he had just greeted Yubi, Weiwangdi, Shengda, Titan, Tenghua, You Jiu and other bigwigs one by one, and the other party was very enthusiastic, and he was full of praise for the achievements of "Eternity" and "Immortal Dao".
With Ye Shenxi's current qualifications and status in the industry, even if he is only twenty-four years old, it is a little conspicuous among these bigwigs, but it can still make people ignore his age and the background of an emerging company like Qingyu Network, and communicate from an equal perspective.
Standing next to him is Ding Yicheng, the project director of Huang Yi's "Dream Qiankun", one from "Eternity" and the other from "Dream Qiankun", it can be said that these two are the most important self-developed products in the history of Chinese games so far, and the two have known each other for a long time.
You said that "Legend of Blood" is more profitable, after all, it is the Korean kimchi of the agent, and "Journey", which is also popular and has the potential to dominate the world, wait for him to be as popular as "Eternity" and "Dream Qiankun" for four or five years.
"I listened to your speech today and was inspired." Ding Yicheng looked out the window, half-squinting and thinking about the content of Ye Shenxi's speech today.
"We have never thought of such a thing before in such a fine way to control the growth of players, put stimulus points, control the rhythm, and polish repeatedly." Ding Yicheng's tone was unconvinced and helpless.
"I saw you, and I was still wondering at the time, why did you Huang Yi start doing page games too?" Ye Shenxi turned his head to look at Ding Yifeng, leaning his back against the railing.
Ding Yicheng raised his wine glass, saw that Ye Shenxi didn't move, and didn't care, he reached over and touched a glass with him, took a sip and said: "There is such a plan, Shengda started to do this thing at the end of last year, and we originally planned to wait and see." ”
Ye Shenxi shouted: "I said that why don't you concentrate on mixing this thing with your "Dream Qiankun", you Huang Yi are not short of money." ”
Ding Yicheng gestured a finger and said, "First, I am now the deputy director of Huangyi's online game division. ”
"It turned out that I was promoted, and I was disrespectful." Ye Shenxi pretended to bow.
Ding Yicheng gestured with the second finger: "Second, at the end of last year, we predicted that this year's web game users would not exceed 3 million, and the entire market size for the whole year was about 100 million to 300 million. ”
Ye Shenxi shook his head and said: "It is worthy of being the Big Three, the market research is so accurate, the market of 300 million is not in sight at all." So now, the appearance of "Immortal Dao" has made you change your opinion? ”
Ding Yicheng snorted: "Aren't you raising the bar, 300 million is shared by everyone and not monopolized." Xuan opened his eyes again, and Guanghua bloomed: "After the "Immortal Dao" came out, now our latest estimate will be about 20 million users and a market size of about 2 billion next year! ”
"You think too highly of it...... right" It naturally refers to "Immortal Dao".
"Of course, it's not just a game called "Immortal Dao", but also a variety of products that are about to emerge, and those who follow the trend or understand the content of your speech today, I don't believe you don't realize what the emergence of "Immortal Dao" means for the web game market. From the design concept to the specific gameplay ideas, Chinese planners can learn too much in it, even if the gameplay is not changed at all, and a batch of packaging and art resources are reviewed, as long as there are not too many bugs, the monthly turnover can also have 5 million, believe it or not? ”
Ye Shenxi surrendered: "Okay, I believe it." ”
Ding Yicheng said with a little hatred: "I don't understand why you always like to stay in a small company, you didn't come to the milestone before, okay, Wei Yunni is recognized by me, now what?" ”
Ye Shenxi said helplessly: "Hey, can you talk well, why did you mention her......
Ding Yicheng said: "Okay, I didn't mention her, I didn't understand at that time, Huang Yi's R&D strength is higher than the milestone, I don't know how high." Back then, you did "Eternity" for two years, and with the same scale, it only took six months for our "Dream of Dreams" to go from project approval to public beta. ”
"To be honest, when it comes to making games, I don't accept anyone in China, Ding Yicheng, but I have to admit that I can't compare to you, well, I used to think that I was similar to you, and after "Immortal Dao", I will admit that I am a little worse than you. Anyway, you don't know that Huang Yi attaches great importance to independent research and development, and the strength of our research and development team is there, I dare to say that your talents can be brought into full play here more than anywhere else. ”
Ye Shenxi said with an indifferent face: "You want to rebel against me again...... Every time we meet, I can get something else. ”
Ding Yicheng smiled: "If the rebellion is successful, there will be something else." ”
Ye Shenxi said annoyingly: "I used to be your little brother......"
Ding Yicheng cut off: "Okay, will you come if I, the deputy director, give it to you?" ”
Ye Shenxi shook his head: "Don't come......"
"And for what? Summer herring? ”
Ye Shenxi was so worried that he was about to collapse to the ground: "Why are you always this stalk, can you change it and make it fresh?" ”
"Then you give me a new stalk......" Ding Yicheng was speechless.
Ye Shenxi took a sip of wine, sighed, brewed emotions, and said with a serious face: "Lao Ding, I have been making games for ten years, and I have done all the popular street fights. ”
Ding Yicheng nodded: "Yes, I know you are experienced." ”
Ye Shenxi waved his hand, signaling you not to complain, now is the time to speak: "What is the game to you?" ”
Ding Yicheng didn't expect Ye Shenxi to come up with such a sentence, which was like an interview, and he should interview him himself in the interview.
Ye Shenxi didn't let him answer: "After drinking a little wine, I'll tell you what is in my heart." I just said that I have been making games for ten years, and the point is not ten years, but that I have been making games since 97, and I came from an indie game. ”
