Chapter 161: Bonus

Another disadvantage of event outsourcing has to be said, that is, the promotion effect of the game is extremely poor.

Anyway, this is also within the power of the fist, and Li Hong naturally won't care so much. It's great to be able to hold this event on your own. If not, there's nothing to regret.

Anyway, in the end, it's impossible for him, the boss, to lose money.

Since it is going to be held by itself, how to get it has become the focus of Li Hong and Mark's next discussion.

The first question is, should the bonus be changed?

This is an extremely acute question, and the amount of prize money will directly affect the enthusiasm of the participating teams. Another point is that the amount of bonus is exactly how much money Li Hong, the boss, has to take out of his own bag.

The prize money is too small, and the participating teams are uneven, which has no ornamental and promotional significance. On the player side, they will not be interested in this kind of non-hierarchical competition, let alone have any sense of participation.

Too many bonuses are also not a good thing, which can add to the burden on the host company and can have some counterproductive effects.

To put it in layman's terms, the deepest purpose of holding this competition is to promote the game of goddess Lianmeng. The effect of promotion is not proportional to the bonus invested, which can easily cause big problems for game companies.

The amount of the bonus that was negotiated before the game was launched. At that time, several people also said that the prize was too high, and the champion had five million soft girl coins. But now it seems that it is still too low.

Let's not talk about the question of how much this bonus is, just talking about this bonus will not be able to promote the professionalization of the goddess Lianmeng.

If you can't promote the professionalization process of the goddess Lianmeng, you won't be able to catch up with the glory of the League of Legends.

If you want to make the goddess league far more brilliant than the League of Legends, professionalism is an essential process.

It's a pity that the reason why the professionalization of League of Legends is so smooth is inseparable from the fist's godfather penguin.

Penguins have that energy, plus League of Legends is far more professional than other games, so League of Legends events are in full swing.

But now the fist, the person behind it has become Li Hong. Li Hong is not as capable as a penguin, and he can advance professionalism so quickly, almost in one step.

The only thing he could do was to give Mark and the others all their support. Other than that, it doesn't really help.

It is precisely because the new dad is not as capable as the old dad that Mark attaches so much importance to the holding of this event.

Li Hong's father couldn't help, so they had to go on their own.

"Well, the prize money is set a little higher. The bonus of 50 million soft girl coins should be about the same. Here's the prize money for the Grand Finals, the mid-season and other events, all 10 million. Li Hong quickly set a standard for the prize money of the event.

The 50 million bonus is not much, at least when converted into US dollars, it is only about 8 million. It's among the top few in the gaming world, but in the sports world, it's really not the first prize.

But this bonus is enough, Li Hong is already very painful. Coming up with more bonuses, that's impossible.

Mark didn't know what flames were dancing in his eyes, but in short, Li Hong looked very hairy.

I saw him ask faintly: "Boss, do you want to make a big wave?" ”

"Make a big wave? How? When Li Hong saw Mark say this, he knew that this guy had a bad idea in his heart.

"Let's do the prize pool!" Mark's eyes danced with a flame called excitement.

"Prize pool?"

Li Hong was shocked, why didn't he think of this idea. That's right, since you don't have much money for the time being, and you want to increase the prize money of the event, you can play with the prize pool!

"We make a season-exclusive skin, and the net profit from the sale will all rush into the prize pool."

"You're crazy, aren't you? How can there be such a play, everyone is 25% or other proportion of sales share, rushing into the prize pool. You're all in the prize pool, so what money do we make? Li Hong frowned and said.

Mark, this guy is irritated crazy, right? No matter how much you play, you can't put all your earnings into the prize pool.

was said by Li Hong, and Mark calmed down a lot. He nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I was too excited before. That's right, since you can't put it all into the prize pool, how about a 50% share of sales? ”

Li Hong was stunned when he heard this, is this really good?

Fifty percent of the skin sales are shared, which can be said to be extremely generous. After all, if a skin is sold, it is impossible to say that it will be received in full. The various channels in the middle are divided into one hand, plus the high tax burden has to be deducted, which is about 70% of the original price.

If Mark takes 50% of the sales, then their game company will only have 20% of the sales shared. Will this work? Li Hong thought uncertainly.

"Mark, do you have any great ideas?" Li Hong, who couldn't guess what Mark was thinking, had to ask out loud.

Mark's face was full of solemnity, and he said seriously: "Boss, if we want to quickly complete the professionalization of the goddess Lianmeng, we have to do something big." Otherwise, without the energy of penguins, we would not be able to form a complete competition system. ”

"What are you going to do?" I originally wanted to ask who called it a big deal, but considering that the current occasion is not suitable for being funny, Li Hong still forcibly held back.

"The tournament with the highest prize money in the world! Is this a big deal? Mark asked solemnly.

Li Hong was stunned when he heard this, and just wanted to say that Mark was crazy. But after thinking about it, I actually felt that this matter was not unreasonable.

At present, the tournament with the highest prize money in the world has to be the Champions League in football. The Champions League often has a prize amount of hundreds of millions, which is the best in major competitions around the world.

But even in a game like the Champions League, the prize money for winning the championship is only 40 or 50 million US dollars. It's not unsurpassable, it's just a matter of planning.

In terms of the total prize money, it is impossible to surpass the Champions League, after all, the other party still has a large share of the TV broadcast.

But this is the top prize for winning the championship, and the goddess Lianmeng can also compete.

"$100 million?" Li Hong tentatively came up with a number that stunned Mark.

Mark was speechless and choked, what about him, obviously he is the one with the biggest heart, right?

No matter how big he is, he just wants to win the Champions League on top of the championship bonus. But his boss is good, and he actually wants to raise this number to a height that ordinary people can't even imagine.

"Boss, I think it's better to be realistic. Even if we have a large player base, we don't necessarily have such a large prize pool. Mark said helplessly.

Everything they're saying now is based on the sale of season-exclusive skins. If the sales are not good, the prize pool can be described as extremely ugly. When the time comes, let alone 100 million US dollars, I don't know if I can make up a million US dollars.

When the sales situation has not yet come out, talking about this is tantamount to a castle in the air, a moon and a mirror.
