Chapter 977: A New Threshold, a Golden Start!
The IP is very big, and the game pulls the crotch!
Although it sounds incredible, it seems that this is basically the case in card battle games, and the famous Three Kingdoms Kill, isn't there a few people watching the game?
What?
You said that the Three Kingdoms Kill itself is very unpopular, and it is normal for no one to watch the game?
Then let's take another easy-to-understand example, fighting landlords and mahjong, I believe everyone knows, right? These two chess and card games can no longer be said to be popular in China, but are blooming everywhere!
But even if it is such a well-known and popular chess and card game, a professional game or a game with a relatively high professional nature, there are still not many people who watch it, and even many people don't know that there are professional games for these two.
For this reason.
The "Yu-Gi-Oh" competition can't be held and can't attract ordinary audiences, so it becomes understandable.
The reason for the lack of popularity and exposure of these competitions is that the organizers do not have the problem of insufficient publicity, but they cannot be blamed entirely on publicity.
Players of board and card games are not interested in professional matches, which is the most important problem and the core reason why no one watches the game.
If you want to solve this problem, it will not work to blindly spend money on publicity to attract traffic to the game, even if you get a very high exposure for a while, but the audience can't keep it.
How can we retain people?
Gu Miao thought of the idea of using AR technology to play cards and make the game process more dazzling.
But this is clearly a palliative rather than a cure.
A bit of a technical gimmick may make players interested in the game, but once the interest is over, it will still feel boring and boring.
Raise the bonus?
It may have a little effect, but again, a gimmick like this may work once in use, and it is unrealistic to expect to eradicate the problem.
"Then lower the threshold for participation, so that more players have the opportunity to participate!"
After learning about the master's confusion and troubles, Guo Hongwei, who came to report on the work, couldn't help but say: "There are more players involved, and the attention of the game will naturally go up." Even if you are eliminated in the play-in round, you can at least gain a sense of participation and care about the follow-up competition. ”
"You're ...... right"
Gu Miao nodded in agreement: "It's really time to lower the threshold for participation and let more players participate." ”
In the previous "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Battlefront" competitions, most of them used a fixed ladder rank as the entry threshold, and the rank was set very high, usually starting with "master".
In the entire game environment, the total number of players in the "Master" and above "Legendary" and "Duel King" floating ranks is only more than 10,000.
This means ......
Most of the players who signed up for the "Yu-Gi-Oh" competition, and the audience who followed this game, were this group of people.
And those players who are in bronze and silver, and know that they can't beat the master in this life, will they be idle and pay attention to a tournament that only the master can sign up for?
Lower the barrier to entry.
Not only players above the master, even if it is gold and silver, let them have a certain sense of participation.
Although most of these players who signed up because of the lower threshold will be eliminated from the play-in tournaments and qualifiers, as long as they sign up, they will definitely pay attention to the follow-up schedule events.
In this way, Gu Miao's original intention of making the "Yu-Gi-Oh" competition gain higher exposure and attention has been achieved.
If you add the gimmick of huge prize money, then the competition will definitely be successful!
Of course!
Although it is said that it is necessary to lower the threshold for participation and let more brand veterans participate, not everyone can sign up, otherwise tens of millions of contestants will pour in at once, even if it is an online competition, which will be a great burden on the server.
"So be it, Golden Start."
"Bronze and silver players, I'm afraid they don't even understand how to match the card deck, and letting them sign up for the competition will only increase our workload." Gu Miao explained with a smile.
"Gold is okay, the threshold is not high or low, it is quite suitable."
Guo Hongwei himself is gold, he knows the gold content of the golden rank better than anyone else, the so-called rank with the largest player base, is it messing with you?
Silver Bronze, don't come!
Even "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Battlefront" can't hit gold, either he has no time to play, or he is a cancer player, this kind of person you ask him to sign up for the competition, isn't that just lowering the level of the competition?
Gold and dark horses counterattack, dog luck burst the possibility of overturning the master, after all, the card deck is basically no problem, and there is still hope for good luck.
But bronze silver ......
It's not that Guo Hongwei looks down on these two ranks of players, it can only be said that the people of these two ranks, but anyone who can form a yang deck will not stay in this rank.
"Gold is about the same, don't put aside your superiority."
Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "You gold-rank Yu-Gi-Oh players are also rampant with demons and monsters, and it's not like I haven't seen it." ”
He's platinum anyway!
In "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Frontier", which is strictly hierarchical and crushes people to death, there is nothing wrong with him commenting on the golden brother so sharply.
"Okay, let's not talk about that."
The reform of the competition system is not something that can be completed in a day or two, compared to this, Gu Miao wants to know more, how is the New Year of the Pleasant Goat and Rooster movie doing?
Guo Hongwei signed the military order.
If the box office of this Year of the Rooster movie does not meet the expected goal, and the reputation is not as happy as the previous Year of the Monkey, then he will be deducted from the bonus for two years.
For Wanbao employees of his level, the basic salary is attached, and the annual bonus and bonus are the majority.
Deduct two years of bonuses in one go and only take the basic salary, this punishment is not unserious for him.
But since he dares to make such a guarantee, it proves that he has a lot of confidence in the Year of the Rooster movie. If you don't have a little confidence and confidence, who would dare to bet on your winnings in the next two years?
And the facts have proven.
Xiao Guo's confidence and confidence are indeed something, this Year of the Rooster movie, just looking at the appearance, is more than twice as strong as the Year of the Monkey movie.
Gu Miao watched the movie trailer.
Smooth editing, seductive plot suspense, gorgeous superpower display, a new experience in the eccentric world, and a limited return of the dashing brother and the black handsome......
The content shown in the trailer can definitely arouse the curiosity and expectation of a lot of viewers. It's even an exaggeration to say that this is the most standard and perfect template for animated movie trailers.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Gu Miao applauded lightly, relieved by the excitement of this trailer.
This trailer is so top-notch!
He didn't believe that those viewers who had watched "Weird World Wars" could not bear not to watch the Year of the Rooster movie in the cinema after seeing this trailer.
That doesn't exist......
This trailer should be emotional, innovative and innovative, and the audience's sense of expectation has been hooked, how can it be possible not to buy tickets?
