On August 17th, the much-anticipated China Game Show kicked off at the Huangpu International Convention and Exhibition Center, and CGS, which is held once a year, is the fifth this year.

As the largest, most attended and most influential video game exhibition and sales event in China, its grand event is intended to strengthen the awareness of electronic entertainment product management among the whole people, standardize the electronic Internet publishing market, and provide a publicity platform for the orderly publication and distribution of electronic entertainment products.

This year's CGS venue covers an area of more than 47,500 square meters, and the number of attendees is expected to exceed 150,000, attracting more than 200 manufacturers from all over the world to participate in the exhibition with more than 400 games, which is the highest number in history.

In addition to some game giants such as Tengda, Huangyi, E-space, and Shengda, which have participated in the exhibition for several consecutive years, more and more small and medium-sized manufacturers have also set up their own booths.

Unlike previous editions, this year's CGS was not limited to video games, but also held a cosplay carnival and collaborated with traditional TV media to bring the competition to the TV screen. This indicates that Internet entertainment has gone beyond the narrow scope of video games and has extended to a broader pan-entertainment field.

In a business club in Building C of the Convention and Exhibition Center, Wang Xuejin, CEO of Lewan, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked tired.

It's 3:15 p.m., and from morning to now, he has met with the producers and R&D bosses of 4 games, and they all want to win the exclusive agent of Leplay for their games, after all, Leplay is the professional web game platform with the best development momentum and the most published games.

Wang Xue's vision has always been very poisonous, he is also an old gamer who has moved from terminal games to page games, he originally worked in Youjiu Network, and he promoted the introduction of the "Energetic Dance" project from South Korea. At that time, the company was also divided into two factions for this agency project, with mixed praise and disapproval, and many people were not optimistic about the prospects of casual competitive games in China, but he still withstood the pressure and successfully acted as an agent.

Later results also proved his vision, "Dance" hit the entire online game market as soon as it was launched, and it is still a frequent visitor to the top 10 Internet café share rankings.

A year ago, Wang Xue resigned from Youjiu Network, foreseeing the momentum of the rapid development of the web game market, and created Lewan.com, becoming the leader of the current web game platform.

He just sent away the producer of a web game developer, which is a strategy web game, which is obviously a follow-up to "The World", but it doesn't show anything bright outside the framework of "The World". There is no shortage of imitation products for these successful projects on the market, but you can't copy them exactly. Maybe it's the highlight of the picture, or it's for different user groups, or it's polishing and micro-innovation on the basis of the core gameplay, the market is becoming more and more mature, and the player's taste is becoming more and more picky, in short, you must have your own things, this is a game that can be based on the fundamentals of the market.

Wang Xuefan looked at the information of the next game company to be met, Qingyu Network, Funan's company, or the newly formed team. From this point, Wang Xue scored a relatively low impression score. Located in Funan in the southwest region, although the game industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and there is also a new Funan Software Park, there is a big gap between it and the first-tier coastal cities, the information is relatively closed, and the thinking is relatively backward.

Producer Pasca Ye Shenxi, this ID is very familiar. Wang Xue called the deputy manager Liu Heyi and asked, "Is this Pasca the Pasca of the milestone?" ”

Liu Heyi, a woman in her thirties, is responsible for communicating with game manufacturers and looking for products for distribution. nodded and said: "It's indeed him, it was Li Zhi of Jin Toad who introduced him to me at the time, he left Milestone at the end of last year, and is now the product director of this herring network." ”

Wang Xue snorted: "It seems that he also thinks that the web game market has a future, and he can just make one at the milestone, why go to Funan?" ”

Liu Heyi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the boss of Qingyu Network is a 22-year-old woman who is very beautiful." ”

Wang Xue smelled a hint of gossip and continued to look at the information: "Forget it, we don't care about these things, we only look at the quality of the products." ”

"RPG type, side-scrolling?" Seeing the game type, Wang Xue frowned and said: "Their idea is bold, didn't they let you find a strategy class, why did you find an RPG in the middle?" ”

Liu Heyi was a little embarrassed and said: "Pasca is also an old gamer after all, I think the games he makes should not be much worse, I also took a look at the design materials of this game, and they are not bad, so I took it to you to see it." ”

Wang Xue said softly: "If you are famous, you may not be able to do a good job of page games, comedy directors may not be able to make martial arts films, pop singers can't sing rock, and the same is true for making games." But since it's all about to meet, let's see it.,There's no RPG-type web game on the market right now.,There's nothing to refer to.,I can't fully predict the prospect.。 ”

……

……

At 3:50 in the afternoon, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu met Wang Xue and Liu Heyi in the clubhouse, and after introducing each other, they took their respective seats.

The young of the two made the well-informed Wang Xue still a little surprised, especially Ye Shenxi, wasn't he only 17 years old when he made "Eternal"? General Manager Xia Qingyu is not very accurate, he has never seen such a beautiful 22-year-old female boss, and the other party does not have any strong qualifications, either he is a rich second generation who plays with tickets, or he is just a puppet, and his image is responsible.

"Mr. Ye and Mr. Xia are very young, meeting you feels like making a movie, and there is no sense of business, haha." Wang Xue was the first to speak, and the 32-year-old middle-aged man still had a bit of a sense of humor.

The opening is bound to be a greeting, and everyone loves to listen to the praise, and there may be people who cooperate in the future.

Xia Qingyu is wearing a black professional suit today, sitting dignified, with a straight waist, and his right leg gently resting on the knee of his left leg, and said with an elegant smile: "Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu are also very young, and the current development momentum of Lewan.com is envied by many people." We have to help us check the first product made by a new company like ours. ”

Wang Xue waved his hand and said: "Mr. Xia is too modest, more and more talented young people in this industry have come in, this is a good thing, now there are more and more products, this is the feeling of a hundred flowers blooming, but it makes our group of old fritters also under great pressure." ”

Xia Qingyu smiled lightly: "Lewan.com now operates six products, all of which make money, and Mr. Wang's vision of games can only be practiced after many years of professional accumulation, and we young people still have to learn." ”

Wang Xue looked at Ye Shenxi again: "I often hear others mention Mr. Ye, Pasca is like thunder, and the project "Eternity" can be said to have opened a precedent for domestic turn-based online games, but I didn't expect to see it until today." ”

Both of them are long-established figures in this circle, but one belongs to R&D and the other belongs to operation, and there is not much intersection between them.

Ye Shenxi said: "Everyone is doing page games now, and Mr. Wang's steps are faster than ours, as if he can always see one step ahead of others, just like "Energetic Dance" back then, at that time, no one was optimistic about casual competition, but now it seems to be a model of game socialization." ”

Wang Xue said modestly: "There is also a lot of luck, where in this circle are there any projects that can be 100% successful." ”

Ye Shenxi's words changed: "Then I don't know what Mr. Wang thinks about the direction of the future web game, will RPG become the new market darling?" ”

He doesn't like business blowing about each other, and it's almost time to get down to business.
