Chapter 65: A Strong Debut
Several large game companies in China are still secretly assigning people to write some negative reports attacking me for the content of the game "Virtual Time and Space", which is very yellow and violent, and saying that players need to spend a lot of money in the later stage to constantly invest in this money-swallowing game.
Is your game a charity sale? Don't plan to make your own money and always want to do it at a loss? Are your games not violent? You don't have many game advertising cuties dressed in them? What national war, guild war is a show? Not violent and bloody at all? Mary's next door.
Isn't it red? You have the technology and creativity, you can take it out and fight with me. The mouth strength has a ** use, and I play envy, jealousy and hatred, right? I'll play with you.
My game is just 3D modeling, setting up a virtual game world platform, and taking care of the game balance for the gamers. As a developer, no employee of our company has appeared in the game as an official player. The player can choose the character in the game, he is violent, pornographic, his parents and wife are managed? You're pointing things at me?
Seeing the small newspaper that Liu Qian brought to me, I sat on the boss's chair of the company with my forehead on my back.
I said to Liu Qian: "Immediately invite the media reporters of the major units in the city to come over, I want to do a live press conference for the promotion of the company's activities in the later stage, you book ten tables at the Prince Hotel at five o'clock in the afternoon, and I want to invite some leaders of the Ministry of Culture and the Municipal Party Committee to come." Invite Mr. Shengqiuyue, an online writer, to come over. I'm going to have him write the personal stories of great gamers. ”
Liu Qian nodded and went out to call the second and third female assistants.
I walked up and down the room, cracking my fingers.
I feel angry and aggrieved at the point of these people's attacks. You will write the sparse ones, and I will write the bright ones.
It seems that the main battlefield of a successful entrepreneur is not in the business world, but in the entire human social group.
I worked in the office until 4 p.m., and I was not idle all day after returning from the construction site, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., I planned out several projects, including modeling contests and film shoots, to the renovation plan of the new building.
At this moment, I saw that I didn't eat the box of lunch on the table.
The employees of the company, who had been busy all day, didn't notice that I hadn't eaten anything.
At this moment, Liu Qian, who came back from running errands, saw the lunch box on my table, and she came over and said with pity: "Mr. Li, why don't you eat, be careful of stomach problems." ”
After the task came down in the past few days, several women were working overtime day and night. I, as their man, can't afford to slack off.
I got up and went to the freezer, got a bottle of fresh milk, drank half of it, and said, "Let's go to the Prince Hotel to eat after work, and at this moment you can take a look at the advertising company plan you have prepared." ”
Liu Qian turned around and asked the assistant to bring the promotional content of the final selected advertising agency.
As soon as she got up in the morning, Liu Qian called several advertising media companies, and within six hours, they got out the advertising content of the beauty pageant, and the advertising company that won the bid will rush to complete the background of the square and the slogan ribbon within 24 hours.
They are pressed for time, mine is even tighter.
I pointed out a few parts of the text that needed to be changed, and then asked to remove the background image to my company's logo and the background color of the background screen of the Virtual Time game.
Liu Qian wrote them down one by one, and then sent the revised things to the winning advertising company to do.
Tomorrow on the afternoon of the 12th, we will start to register and set up a stage in the square to select beautiful women. These jobs really have to be grabbed.
After dealing with the matter of setting up the stage, Liu Qian told me that the online writer Mr. Shisheng Qiuyue had arrived.
I immediately threw the lunch box on the table into the refrigerator and asked the assistant to invite him in.
In front of him, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he looked to be a man in his thirties, with a handsome face, a high nose, fair skin, and a radiant look in his eyes. The gray suit made him look very gentle and elegant.
I motioned for him to sit down across from my desk.
I asked Liu Qian to bring him a cup of good Longjing tea.
I shrugged and said, "Actually, as you know, I've been working on a big online game lately. I'm just providing an open game world platform, where there are no game NPC characters, and the player group dominates the progress and development of the whole game, but because it is a highly realistic urban style, I can't avoid the personal behavior of the game characters who appear in it with violent intentions and sexual assault. He can be a highly educated white-collar worker, a masked robber, a businessman and a celebrity, or an insidious liar. So at present, the game has been widely praised by players. But the PK games of the domestic fantasy route and the magic route have been looking at my game with all kinds of prejudices, and they are picking bones in the eggs to accuse me of the violent and erotic side of the game. The industry and casinos opened by players have nothing to do with me, and I don't charge additional protection fees or make any hints, let alone directly ingest the game to get a piece of the pie, so I need someone to give me positive game promotion and help me write a few reports about game business elites and successful people. This can't be done by a media reporter, it needs to be written by a writer who can deeply describe the connotation of the game and the character of the character. I will provide you with a free game character character and you as an observer to reflect the facts of the game and rely on your own strength and wisdom to develop the story of the company. I will give you 3 million as a labor fee. The delivery time is 15 days. I had to shut up those poisonous tongues before the game was launched. ”
The writer in front of him nodded and said, "No problem, I can write this manuscript from both positive aspects, and I'll give you a real player story and my real-life visual report." ”
I nodded, and asked Liu Qian to bring him a cash check in a small metal tray.
Shisheng Qiuyue looked at the check and said, "If I die in the game accidentally, how can the work of collecting materials continue?" ”
I nodded and said, "In fact, you are a character who can be invisible at any time, just like a phantom, no one can hurt you, any 3D model you can penetrate through the past and see what the characters in the game are doing, and you will carry a video recorder with you to record everything you see." When the characters make a phone call, you can even hear the conversation between the two parties. But you can't use killing weapons and any props in the game, you have a kind of possession-like feature that goes anywhere with the characters you're interviewing without the need for transportation. You can talk to anyone in the game, but you can't touch them. So you can't interfere in any game events, which is also a kind of stability and balance for the game. ”
Shisheng Qiuyue nodded, put away the check, took the game's ID number and left.
Seeing that the clock was already close to five o'clock, I went downstairs with Shisheng Qiuyue and asked a bodyguard to drive him back in a BMW X6, while I took Mercedes-Benz Ssangyong and Liu Qian to the Prince Hotel to meet reporters.
When you enter the venue, there are thousands of fans and passers-by on the side of the road outside the hotel.
I went straight to the microphone in front of me.
I saw that reporters from 10 TV stations and newspapers were here, and the directors of the Cultural Affairs Bureau and the leaders of the six municipal party committees had also arrived in advance.
I bowed to everyone and then said, "A country's civilization and progress are not only reflected in the country's modern city construction, higher education and positive publicity. With the development of society, the improvement of people's quality and ability is also a yardstick to show the progress of civilization, and civilization is more reflected in the health and development of people's entertainment and culture. The reason why I built a large-scale immersive game world platform is that my original intention is good, and it is a stable technical guarantee for the majority of gamers. However, what I cannot tolerate is the deliberately agrueling tone and degrading remarks of some people. The evaluation of a person should be objective, realistic, and realistic, but why do you just say something bad about my game, and talk about very few negative things, this is not a problem with the way my game is operated, it is a problem with your personal moral character. My game, I declare once again that no one in my company will intervene in the game characters to lead the free development of the game, let alone use the game for their own personal gain. Our company only provides a large-scale online game interactive platform space, and as for what kind of character the player enters the game appears in this space, I have no right to intervene, and it does not conform to the free rules of the game. Therefore, I declare once again that the violent acts and the content of obscene objects are not directly instructed by our company, and I will not be legally responsible for the actions of the player, and there are also police bureaus and courts established by the player in the game, and they are managed by the player. I, as a developer, have the right to remain silent about this objection. However, if you repeatedly slander the health of my game and attack the atmosphere of our company's game, I will defend my rights in the form of law and let you compensate me for the financial and reputational losses. I'm going to say this today, I hope that players will consciously be civilized players, I can only look forward to this, thank you for visiting. ”
The following director of culture also came to the stage to say a few words about the successful operation of the game, ushering in a large amount of foreign exchange, on the other hand, also affirmed the previous statement, I am just the platform launch, the content is interacted with by the player, so I can't be the target of attack, and finally he affirmed a few positive aspects of the game, and also said that he will also enter this game, as a player and exist.
I was very moved to come to the stage again and shake hands with the director of the cultural bureau, which is actually the greatest support for me, otherwise my company will pay hundreds of millions of taxes and you will find those tabloids to calculate.
Reporters took my speech and published it on their newspaper's homepage, and the evening news was broadcast immediately.
At least I've survived this little storm again. I can wipe the saliva off my body and make a lot of my own money. Looking at the ten tables in front of me eating and drinking, I secretly scolded those tabloid reporters in my heart: You Mary next door. Ten tables are hundreds of thousands, and it's just gone and it delays my time to do business.
After toasting everyone with Liu Qian, I said that there was something to do, and I rushed to the company after eating something.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqin has also been busy in my company for a day, and she has completed the task of contacting more than a dozen fashion design masters.
The top masters in the world's clothing industry have all received calls from Lu Xiaoqin's assistant in various ways today.
Alexander? McQueen, Anna? Sue, Benhard? Wilholm, Kavin? Clay Christine? Dior, Christine? Raqua, Jani? Versace, when Natella? Versace, Donna? Cullen, Gabriel? Chanel, George? Armani, Bell? Morality? Givenchy, Issey Miyake Isseymiyake, Dolce & Gabbana, John? Galliano, Carl? Lagerfeld, Kenzotakada, Mark? Jacobs Marcjacobs, Mukoya? Prada Miiaprada, Peel? Cardin, Raff? Lauren, Ricky? Taylor, Sonia? Rickier, Tom? Ford, Vivian? Westwood, Valentino? Galawani, Yohji Yamamoto, Yves? Yves Saint Laurent, Maryquant, a total of twenty-eight masters
They all received this very important call, because the first prize of the costume was 5 million US dollars, that is, more than 30 million yuan. And as long as there are entries, you can get a design award of at least $5,000. The shortlisted ones also have tiered bonuses to get. So immediately, nearly fifteen assistants of the masters expressed their interest and asked Lu Xiaoqin to send the information as a reference.
The competition for the top costumes of the game characters has to be held in Ginza, Tokyo, so Kazuko Takeshita has already started booking the venue in the Ginza business district in advance. I've set the time for the tournament to be on the 12th of July next month, so there's at least a month left for the Masters to prepare. There were only 10 days from the 12th to the end of the 22nd of the filming, leaving 5 days for shooting, and in fact, there were five days to rush to make a batch of props and costumes. This is the rhythm of one link after another, and nothing can happen in that link.
None of the work can affect the official release and operation of the game on the 28th.
I went to the island country on June 12th and won't be back until at least August, during which time my modeling and photography team will have to go to Tokyo until the game officially starts on July 28th.
When I asked Liu Qian and Kazuko Takeshita to go to Tokyo to find a server for me to set up a site in the long term, I bought a larger villa by the way. Because we have to live in Japan for a month and a half, the cost will be huge.
I had to stay at the Peninsula for a few days, and after the villa had all the furnishings in place, our operations team, the shooting team, the modeling team, and the entourage had to move in.
Leaving the Sichuan master at home and abroad, I have to bring at least two chefs.
