8. Get moving
"Dahua, Dahua." Huo Ya hurriedly came to Li Hua's house, during this time, he didn't have the problem of sleeping lazy, and he came to Li Hua early in the morning every day, which surprised his father.
Li Hua was sleeping at this time, and after being woken up by Huo Ya, he woke up in a daze.
"What's wrong? This early in the morning? Li Hua stretched.
"When are we going to send those letters to the newspapers?" It's something that Hoya comes over every morning to ask.
Li Hua sighed, "Didn't I tell you, don't worry, wait first." ”
After saying that, I didn't bother to sleep anymore, got up and washed up, and then just sat down to eat, I received a call from Regg.
Li Hualiu's contact information is the phone number at home, and Reg is also convenient to contact them.
"The sales of the game are not as you say, in recent days, the total sales have been less than 1,000." Reg said in a deep voice.
He has been staring at the sales of games in the past few days, and the sales are basically no different from the games they make, at most a little better.
Li Hua was not in a hurry at all, "Mr. Regg, don't worry, wait a few days, I haven't made a move yet." ”
Reg frowned, "Let me remind you that our contract is time-limited. ”
When signing the contract, Reg also put forward some requirements, including the requirement of the game sales time.
The games sold in half a year will be divided according to the contract, but after half a year, then all the sales have nothing to do with Li Hua.
Li Hua pretended to be very embarrassed at this point before agreeing, but in fact, Li Hua didn't care at all.
Half? It doesn't take half a year.
It's been less than half a year since the U.S. gaming market collapsed.
Li Hua soothed: "Don't worry, I know, it will be two more days." ”
After comforting Reg well, Li Hua continued to eat, looking at Li Hua's calm appearance, Huo Ya was a little speechless, this is really not in a hurry at all.
In this way, he waited for another two days, and during these two days, Li Hua wrote some report letters according to some circumstances.
This morning, Li Hua took Huo Ya and began to send letters to various newspapers and media.
According to the characteristics of some media, send some corresponding report letters.
This will maximize the attention of these media outlets.
At the same time, in the letter, Li Hua and Huo Ya both play different roles, anyway, they want to criticize the game from various angles, but at the same time, they must show the characteristics of the game.
Most of the letters sent by Li Hua were to some small newspapers and media companies.
Mainly, big newspapers like the New York Times are all about seriousness, politics, etc.
Something like a game won't be reported at all until it's a big deal.
Of course, Li Hua also sent a letter, but he didn't have any hope.
For example, those small media newspapers and periodicals have no strict requirements for the seriousness of the news and other aspects.
New York Sun.
It was the first successful commercial newspaper in the United States to be founded on commercial principles. It was also the first "penny newspaper" with a cheap offer.
The New York Sun, which aims to capture the interest of the lower classes, is mainly published in the journal itself. Social news such as killings, crimes, trials, and fires.
Erin, editor of the New York Sun, is also a journalist and has been in the business for about a decade.
As a veteran practitioner, he has reported a lot of news over the years and made a lot of contributions to the sales of the newspaper.
In particular, her writing is sharp, she likes to grasp the contradictions in the current society, and can write about one thing and all kinds of contradictions, which has attracted the attention of many people.
As for what happens afterwards, that's not her concern.
After Erin went to work that day, she received a letter and handed it to her by name.
Erin didn't care about it at first, she could get a lot of news letters like this every day.
Originally, I was just going to take a look, but if it was a little special, I was going to hand it over to my subordinates to do, and if it wasn't distinctive, I would just throw it away.
But looking at it, she sat up straight, and her eyes gradually sharpened.
In this letter, a woman named Linda tells about her son playing a game called Custer's Revenge.
The letter said that Linda's son was originally a well-behaved, cute and sensible child, but since playing this game, it is like a different person. force, and also sneaked to read some adult publications.
The letter described how strange his child was.
At the same time, the characteristics of this game are also described from the side, and the more Erin looks at those forbidden words, the more excited she becomes, which is what they need in the newspaper.
In fact, "New York Sun" is also a newspaper that Li Hua attaches more importance to, because the sales volume of "New York Sun" is also relatively large, and the audience is also wide, so the effect that can be played is also very good.
To this end, Li Hua also took the time to learn about the editors and reporters of the New York Sun, as well as their reporting preferences.
For example, Erin was specially chosen by Li Hua, and a letter was also tailored for her.
The letter piqued Erin's interest.
"You go to the market and buy a copy of this game, it's called Custer's Revenge." Erin directly arranged for her subordinates to work.
In any case, you still need to understand the game first, so that you can write a better article.
As for interviewing the person who wrote the letter, Erin didn't have this idea, mainly because the person named Linda above said that she didn't want to be exposed and her family would be affected.
Soon, the game was bought, and Erin quickly found the console and started playing it, but after a little play, she knew that the things written on the letter were really right.
And the more I played, the more inspired I became, and there were countless ideas in my head that I wanted to write.
It can be said that the events caused by this game are perfectly in line with the positioning of their newspaper.
This is also the effect that Li Hua wants to achieve.
At the same time, in addition to the New York Sun, many other newspaper media outlets were also attracted to this letter.
Although most of the media and newspapers, Li Hua wrote about the same, not like Erin, and also made a special attack.
But Li Hua's writing is still okay, describing the harm caused by this game from various angles.
Of course, on the surface, this is true, but in reality, it is all about writing about the selling point of this game.
Among them, a newspaper called the New York News was the most active, because their newspaper was positioned to engage in pornography. Color-based.
And the violent. Force, blood. These are also kind of collateral products, so they basically publish them in their newspapers as soon as they are published.
