Spring goes and summer comes.

In a blink of an eye, May passed.

The cool weather has gradually been replaced by the scorching summer.

After last month's esports tournament, the popularity of the MMO game market has slowly cooled down and finally returned to calm.

And as a result.

It is to surprise countless players and manufacturers.

"World of Warcraft", which was originally pressed by various major manufacturers at the beginning, turned the tables against the wind in just three months, trampling all other competing products under their feet, becoming this year's MMO hit!

Even if it was released first, the most eye-catching "Oracle" has become a foil, and the gap is clear at a glance.

This has also caused many MMO manufacturers to scramble to imitate the gameplay of "World of Warcraft", and some are even crazy about the popularity under the banner of surpassing Warcraft.

Duration.

There are also many games with outstanding results, which have become a small hit on the Internet.

It can be said that it is a very lively month.

Merely.

No matter how hot these games are, they can't be hot enough to be a topic.

That's the college entrance examination!

As May passes, June arrives.

The most important day for senior high school students across the country has finally arrived as scheduled, and it has set off a wide discussion on the Internet.

"Haha, I don't know how many people will go to the wrong exam room this year, or forget to get the admission ticket."

"Uncle traffic policeman's motorcycle is already hungry and thirsty."

"What are you? Last year, I remembered that I was going to take the college entrance examination after the exam. ”

"This time of year is the happiest time for me because I TM went to college hahaha......"

"Grass! All here to gloat, right? Although I also graduated. ”

"Forgive me for laughing unkindly."

If you have been drenched in the rain yourself, you will tear someone else's tore off.

This is the favorite thing for sand sculpture netizens.

I think that when they took the college entrance examination, they were all nervous to death, thinking that it would be the most important turning point in their lives.

But after entering the society, I found out.

It's just one of life's ups and downs.

Although these words are ridiculous, they also have a comforting effect and make those candidates less nervous.

Not to mention some of the heartless.

There are still a few days to take the exam, and I still brag and chat with people on the Internet and gossip, and I don't know how to write the word nervous.

It's not.

Chen Lingang asked someone to publish a piece of game information.

Immediately, there were candidates running over to join in the fun.

"When will the new version be released? Half a month has passed, and the donkeys of the production team dare not rest like this. ”

"It's almost time for the college entrance examination, why don't you just release a new game and wish us all the best in the exam?"

"That's it, we usually support the flood game."

"Recently, it's been quiet, are you secretly holding back your big move again?"

"Even if you just send a congratulatory video to fool around."

As the college entrance examination approaches, many manufacturers have come out to rub on this heat, cheering for candidates while promoting their own games by the way.

I can't wait for all the candidates to run to play their games after graduation.

Only Hong Huang was silent and became the object of ridicule.

Even those who are not candidates come to join in the fun.

Seeing that Lao Song was speechless for a while.

"These guys, it's not good to prepare for the exam, and they still have time to rush the game here, it's really a plaything!"

He is also a father.

If it's your own child, you have to go home and beat it.

"Isn't that a game director of yours saying that?"

Chen Lin next to him had a strange face, sure enough, family and work are always two different things.

"Forget it, let's get down to business, what's the matter with you coming to me?"

"The main thing is that there was a first-quarter earnings report last year."

Lao Song coughed embarrassedly twice, and took out the just-printed report: "After statistics, we have now accumulated more than 40 billion yuan, and the revenue in the first quarter of this year has reached 15.6 billion, deducting the operation and development expenses There are nearly 10 billion, and we have the capital to compete with those big factories." ”

"So much?" Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.

That's a lot more than he expected.

"The main reason is that the number of games has formed an industry, online games have also begun to gradually develop, and with the support of the steam platform, several of our games have been promoted overseas, and sales have increased to varying degrees."

"What is the proportion of overseas?"

"About 27.3%."

"Hiss......"

Chen Lin took a deep breath.

He remembers that last year it was less than 10 percent, but this year it has skyrocketed nearly threefold.

Although their country is a country with a large population, there are many overseas countries, and it adds up to a very terrifying number.

"It seems that our influence overseas has spread, do you think we should invest money to increase overseas publicity?"

"Yes! And it's time too! ”

Lao Song replied affirmatively.

Although we now have the strength to compete with capital, the industry is still too simple, and if we add overseas markets, it should be about the same.

It is difficult for a single industry to compete with capital.

Take Penguin as an example, the industry chain is almost all over the world, and gaming is just one of the industries they invest in.

The annual revenue is 100 billion yuan.

A loss in one game doesn't make much of a difference at all.

I want to compete with the game industry alone.

Overseas markets are essential.

"In that case, then I'll leave this matter to you, first arrange stations in those game powers, and I'll dispatch 3 billion for you in each place, is it enough?"

"That's enough, you don't need too many people to be stationed, just focus on publicity and distribution."

"Then it's hard for you to get in touch, find a few trustworthy people to go over, and hand over the latest production projects to Lao Li first."

When it was really time to employ people, Chen Lin found that the only people he could use under his hands were Lao Song and Lao Li.

In the past, the studio was small, and it was nothing.

Now that I am ready to open up overseas markets, I have to let the director of operations do it himself.

Although Lao Song didn't say it, the tiredness between his eyebrows couldn't be hidden.

Come to think of it, he has also worked hard for the studio for so many years, and he has been working hard, and it is time to find someone to share it.

"We are now considered an international company, we can't let you do everything, and then I will arrange someone to be in charge of the overseas market, you are responsible for the overall planning, you are too, you are tired of taking a vacation, and you don't need my approval."

"That's what you said." Lao Song's eyes lit up, "It just so happened that someone recently contacted me to talk about the foreign agency of "World of Warcraft", and we can talk about it together when the time comes." ”

"Someone came to the door so soon?" Chen Lin said in surprise.

"At first, I didn't expect it to be so fast, but this kind of magical-style game seems to be very popular overseas, so let's talk about a company that is quite strong."

"That's good, let's talk about this matter when the time comes."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll find someone to arrange it."

After Lao Song finished speaking, he turned around and left, closing the door again.

As for Chen Lin, he sat in place and glanced at the comments below the official announcement.

Not in just a few minutes.

There are dozens more comments on various college entrance examination games.

After a moment of stunnedness, he suddenly had a plan.

Immediately pick up the phone and contact Su Peng at station B.

"Manager Su, do you still have anime spots over there?"

"Of course there is, does Mr. Chen have new resources? It's been a long time since you've visited our station B. ”

Su Peng on the other side was overjoyed, he had been looking forward to it for so long and finally came to live, and he was worried that he didn't have anything to do this year.

"There is indeed an anime that I want to put on the shelves before the college entrance examination, is it convenient for you over there?" Chen Lin directly explained his intentions.

"Convenient! Of course it's convenient! As long as Mr. Chen comes, you can do it anytime! Su Peng replied again and again.

I'm afraid you won't come.

I'll take as much as I come.

Just by virtue of the fame of the wilderness, it has to be a proper flow!

"Okay, then I'll ask someone to send the documents to you, if you can, go on as soon as possible, and I'll also send an announcement here to help publicize it."

"Okay!"

As soon as he heard that Hong Huang would publicize himself, Su Peng became more energetic and hurriedly agreed.

……

Two hours later.

A new announcement appears below the official account of Honghuang.

And only in a very brief sentence.

#好好高考玩什么游戏? Otherwise, it will be like him! #

Under the message, a screenshot was attached, as well as a link to the video, which stunned the players.

"Huh??"

"What's this?"

A group of players looked at this puzzling sentence in a daze, as well as the picture below.

I saw that on the picture, it was an anime character.

Dressed in a black robe, holding a black sword, his eyes were resolutely facing the screen.

And behind him, there is a strange structure floating high in the air, like a spinning top.

Sword Art Online

Four large characters are fixed above the picture, and the font is vigorous and powerful, with a hint of edge.

Until this time.

Players who are familiar with the nature of the flood finally reacted.

"Good guy, Hong Huang directly released an anime to celebrate the college entrance examination?"

"It's really fucking anime! The links are all posted! ”

"What anime, that's game CG!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, can the anime of the flood be called an anime?"

What does the title mean? Playing games will become the same as him? ”

"This is the anime protagonist, I guess."

"I want to see what kind of rotten work is going on in the wilderness."

"This year's candidates accept the challenge!"

The strange title and the unknown picture aroused the curiosity of a group of players, and they clicked on the link to jump to station B.

Even candidates who don't play games have learned the news, and they poured into station B after preparing for the exam, wanting to see what this anime that will become the protagonist when playing games is.

"Cut, I don't believe this kind of nonsense, don't try to trick me into reviewing!"

In the study hall of a high school, the students were eating lunch, and they took the opportunity of the lunch break to click on the anime on the tablet, which attracted the onlookers of other students, and the stool was moved over to watch while eating.

"Sword Art Online? Is this the promotional CG of the new game of the Flood Wilderness? ”

"There are indeed CG tags underneath, it should be."

"I actually used anime to do publicity, is it a second tour?"

"Play it and see."

"It's a pity that it's only been updated for one episode, just enough for dinner."

As he spoke, he tapped the screen and played it directly in full screen.

The crowd who was still talking in a low voice instantly fell silent and stared at the screen tightly.

Swish!

The light lit up.

The first thing that catches your eye is the familiar Honghuang logo icon.

Then it appeared in a cloud of mist, and quickly dived downward.

[2032]

【The Birth of Virtual Games】

【The world has stepped into the virtual era】

With a few lines of font flashing, the screen switches to a jungle.

Then he rushed out of the jungle and came to the sky above a lush forest.

Standing on top of a cliff with a man and a horse, looking out at a huge island suspended in the air in the distance.

The grand background music came to an abrupt end here.

"It's a virtual game?"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

They've all heard of it.

However, because it is difficult to implement, the discussion has not been very high.

It's like a spaceship space expedition, so far away that it's only occasionally discussed.

They didn't expect that Hong Huang would choose such a theme.

Just thinking about it.

The screen switches again.

Come into a city.

Countless people gathered in front of the digital stores, clamoring and shouting, as if they were queuing up to buy something.

At the same time, a reporter's voice rang out.

[Everyone, here we go!] 】

[This week's game information, first of all, please look at the streets now, what are they waiting for in a long line? 】

[That's right! It is the Sword Art Online released by Honghuang! Abbreviated as SAO! 】

[It is said that the person in front of me has been ...... since 3 days ago]

The rest of the broadcast people didn't listen to it anymore, because they all laughed out loud when they heard the release of the flood wilderness.
