Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 605 The upcoming game competition; happy girl group
Regarding the evaluation of "Counter-Strike" by many people on the Internet, Tian Moyun didn't explain anything.

Just posted a sentence on Weibo: ""Counter-Strike" will participate in the game competition in October, and the prize pool is 10 million. It is a small attempt."

"The entry method is very simple. You only need to be promoted to the national 1000 in the "Team Qualifying Tournament" to be eligible to participate in the final. In the next round, the team that wins the championship will receive a bonus of up to 5000 million."

"Remind everyone—"

""Counter-Terrorism" is a team competitive game, so try to choose players with similar strength and a tacit understanding with yourself as teammates, so as to avoid mistakes in performance and cooperation, which will cause some unnecessary conflicts."

"Playing games is originally a pleasant thing. The cash rewards and the ranking of the winners and losers of the finals are only used to bring some fun to everyone. Life, hope everyone knows."

……

Game Contest!

At first, it was organized by [Thunder Game Company], which brought this controversial industry in the society to the sun for the first time, so that playing games is no longer a label of "doing nothing", but a kind of activity that can be regarded as normal. hobby.

It can be said that the "Game Contest" has brought too many changes to the Daxia game industry, and its existence is very significant.

For the entire industry, it is a very grand event, just like the Double Eleven of the e-commerce industry.

"Counter-Strike" entered this year's game competition, which is something no one expected.

Because the game was released too late.

It was officially launched on August 8, and the game competition is only two months away.

For any game in the past, at least half a year of background accumulation is required. Otherwise, the player's loyalty is not enough, and it is difficult to achieve the desired effect in the game.

"The King of Fighters", "New Street Fighter", "Happy Cube", "Warcraft".

These are the four main players in the game competition.

In addition to the above four masterpieces, there are also some third-party competitive games with high player loyalty. Their game competitions are closely followed. Although the scale is small, they can still win the support and cheers of a large number of players.

Today it is today.

The game competition is no longer just a matter of the [Thunder Games] family.

[Dragon Scale Game] also participated, and more than a dozen third-party game manufacturers also joined in.

A new game is "selected" into the list of the competition, which will involve the interests of many people. Even the first-party giants cannot force the arrangement against everyone's wishes.

And in this case——

"Counter-Strike", a game that was only released for one month, was successfully "selected" and received support from almost everyone. This is incredible. It can only be said that the game is too good.

The viewing pleasure of this game is too high.

Its addition will definitely make this year's game competition more interesting.

And more audiences are also of great benefit to other participating game manufacturers, helping them to better promote their games.

……

For the fact that "Counter-Strike" will appear in the next month's competition, the most intense response is of course the players.

"Oh my god! I haven't even figured out how to play the game yet. Is there a competition going to be held?"

"Yeah, it feels too hasty, at least give us some time to adapt, right?"

"If it's a single-player competition, it's fine, but this is a team competition, 5v5 team competition, where can we find teammates?"

"I didn't even figure out how to play the game, and I didn't even have time to find teammates and cultivate a tacit understanding. I just started holding game competitions... a little speechless."

"I guess, it should be because the revenue of "Anti-Terrorism" is not ideal, so this way is used to stimulate a wave, right? It is equivalent to advertising."

"Is the revenue of 3.46 million yuan very low? There are not many games that can buy hundreds of millions in the first month. Is this not ideal?"

"This is Boss Tian's game. If you can't even recover the cost for a month after the first release, isn't it considered a failure? Stimulating consumption is certain, and game competitions are the best opportunity."

"It's inexplicably sad. Such a good game shouldn't be buried. If it's really impossible, it's better to recharge with a skin, at least you can earn more."

"By the way, these don't seem to be the things we should care about. The 1000 team quota, that's what we should care about."

"1000 team quotas, that is to say, 5000 players will be selected in the end, and each person can get a minimum reward of 1000 yuan on average, which is too impressive."

"I just got the news from [Counter-Strike Operations Team]'s Weibo. The deadline is 9:30 on September 23th. I'm going to find a few buddies who are good at playing games."

"Come on, be a worker."

"To be honest, although I feel a little rushed, I still want to support "Anti-Terrorism". I hope I can get tickets for the scene, otherwise I can only watch the live broadcast..."

"I have a hunch that this month's 'team qualifying competition' will become extremely intense, the top 1000... I'm afraid it's not so easy to get."

""Anti-Terrorism" earned 3.46 million yuan last month. Based on the game's price of 99 yuan, there are about 350 million players. Even if everyone forms a team to participate, there are only 70 teams. After deducting non-participating players, amateur players, Deducting rookie players, deducting all kinds of accidents...it will be good to have a team of 1 in the end, 10 out of 1, it feels very easy."

"The calculation upstairs is good, but unfortunately this probability has no practical value."

"Yeah, you have deducted so many accidents, how can you be sure that you are not one of them?"

"And that's last month's data, don't count this month's? 70 teams? It's almost doubled. Anyway, I feel that it's quite hanging, so I won't participate."

……

There are those who agree and those who say bad.

Netizens have their own opinions, but what is more unified is that most netizens agree that "Counter-Strike" is a good game.

As for the commercial aspect...

This is what the beholder sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom.

With this game quality alone, it is absolutely impossible for "Counter-Strike" to lose money...but how much profit can it make?

Netizens were not hopeful, and some even predicted that this might be the most commercially "failed" of all Tian Moyun's masterpieces.

There are many specific reasons.

For example, the question of profit model.

As an online game, "Counter-Strike" adopts the profit model of buyout system + network fee, and it is still such a cheap price of 99 yuan. ", "Fantasy Westward Journey" made a lot of money.

Many people think that the loss of "Counter-Strike" is due to the profit model. If the profit model is changed to the property of krypton gold online games, it will definitely make a lot of money.

but--

As soon as this point of view was brought up, the players of "Anti-Terrorism" couldn't sit still, and jumped out to confront these netizens, resolutely rejecting the gameplay of krypton gold online games.

Players feel that the current game environment of "Anti-Terrorism" is so good, and they finally found a cheap and fun online masterpiece. If it is because of these netizens' nonsense, Tian Moyun changed the game mode to unlimited recharge. Krypton gold online game mode, then they will definitely vomit blood with anger.

It's just sinister.

……

"These players are just worrying blindly."

A game manufacturer boss said disdainfully: "How can a game be maximized? Don't Tian Moyun know? He is the most successful entrepreneur in the game industry. "Anti-Terrorism" seems to be unsatisfactory. I guess there are two possibilities." , either he is too lazy to earn this money, or he has arranged other backers, as for the game competition? It has something to do with stimulating consumption."

"Too lazy to earn money?"

The subordinates at the side were stunned when they heard this.

When they analyzed this game before, the director of operations said with emotion that if "Counter-Strike" changed its profit model, it could earn at least 5 times more.

A monthly revenue of more than one billion is a trivial matter.

More than a billion... Are you too lazy to earn?
"Tian Moyun is too rich."

The boss sighed: "Not counting the [Thunder Group], his assets are close to [-] billion. If the [Thunder Group] is included, I am afraid that the richest man in the world will have to give up his seat to him... It's only a billion. It’s really not worth it.”

"but--"

"According to my guess, Tian Moyun probably wouldn't be so idle. He worked so hard to develop such a masterpiece for no reason to make money... This doesn't fit his character."

"So, I think there must be a follow-up to this matter. It doesn't matter if "Counter-Strike" doesn't make billions. Let's wait and see."

The subordinate nodded half understanding.

I always feel that what the boss said is a bit mysterious, and also, is this because he has too much confidence in Tian Moyun?
……

What's next for Counter-Strike?

Before Tian Moyun made a move, these melon eaters could only make a few wild guesses.

But after all, this matter has nothing to do with everyone. Except for a few boring people who like mystery novels, most people's attention has been diverted elsewhere.

That is--

Upcoming Game Contest!
【Official Account of the Game Contest】has released information, including the holding time, the holding place, and the selected game projects.

In addition to the old-fashioned "King of Fighters", "New Street Fighter", "Happy Cube", and "Warcraft", more than a dozen third-party games have been added.

In the first-party lineup, in addition to "Counter-Strike", an additional controversial work was added: "Cat Leo and Iwanna: Arena Special Edition"

……

"Can "Cat Leo and Iwanna" be selected? Are you kidding me?"

"Didn't you say that the selection of game competitions is very strict? This thing is selected in this way?"

"I heard gossip that it is a newly added entertainment program... Well, everyone understands the meaning of entertainment programs."

"Cough cough..."

"This game doesn't seem to be online yet, right? It seems that it is planned to be random at that time, and I don't know how to play it?"

"The size of the cash reward is very average. The champion is only awarded 1 yuan, and the finalist award is only 500 yuan, which is too little."

"This is what the officials came up with for fun. It's good to have it, and the reward is really not small. The competition should not be too fierce. We may have a chance."

"Hahaha, coincidence, everyone thinks so."

Except for the wonderful game "Mao Leo and iwanna", most of the newly selected games are still within the guesswork of netizens.

But there are also netizens who have expressed their own different suggestions:

"I think the priority of the competition should be adjusted. For some games that are not popular enough, it is better to give way to latecomers."

"Is it "The King of Fighters" and "New Street Fighter" upstairs? Or "Happy Cube" and "Bubble Hall"?"

"Of course it's "Happy Cube". With all due respect, this game's enjoyment is really average. I was sleepy watching it during last year's competition, and it's the same with "Bubble Hall."

"If you don't like watching it, it doesn't mean that others don't like watching it."

"It's true that the viewing experience is relatively average, but besides "Warcraft", it seems that there is no game that is more enjoyable, right?"

"The priority of "Warcraft" has been adjusted, second only to "The King of Fighters" and "New Street Fighter", and "Counter-Strike" has been added. I think it is ok."

"There are not many competitive games that are highly ornamental, and this year's competition basically includes them all. The issue of priority... There will definitely be adjustments next year, and this year will be like this."

……

"Priorities do need to be adjusted, but not now."

Tian Moyun noticed these remarks, and felt a little helpless: "There are not many competitive games suitable for watching on the market at present, so we can only use them to make up the number."

The four games "The King of Fighters", "New Street Fighter", "Warcraft" and "Counter-Strike" will be permanent guests in the contest.

As for "Happy Game", the competitive nature of this game is not weak. For fans of this type of game, it is very interesting. Although it will gradually become a niche, it will not be removed from the competition, it is just a priority will drop.

And what about "Bubble Hall"?

The entertainment is relatively heavy, and it will be adjusted to an entertainment event in the future, and will not be removed from the event list in a short time.

In addition to the dozen or so third-party games, except for a few fighting and racing games, the others are also relatively average, and there is a gap compared to "Bubble Hall".

"After "League of Legends" comes out, the game competition should be able to push to the top."

Tian Moyun thought to himself.

The online games that have been developed so far, except for "Counter-Strike", which is not bad for viewing, are relatively average. After "League of Legends" comes out, some of the games that are used to make up the numbers can also be officially retired.

However, he has no plans to develop "League of Legends" yet.

[Thunder 2 game console], [Xingkong smartphone], [Xingkong computer 64-bit version]... There are still many things to do.

……

After the news of the game contest was announced, the entire Internet was in a state of excitement.

Tian Moyun, on the other hand, took a break from his busy schedule to enjoy this rare and comfortable time.

"As my career grows bigger and bigger, my time is getting less and less, which makes me feel very unhappy. The time I miss most is probably when I was in school. Although I was very poor, the happiness at that time was real……"

Tian Moyun sighed.

"It's enough!"

Su Qiong couldn't bear it any longer.

"I didn't expect that even you don't understand me, which makes me feel very disappointed."

Tian Moyun continued to sigh softly.

"If you do this again, I'm going to strike."

Su Qiong raised her fist and said seriously that she was not joking.

"Ok."

Tian Moyun quickly sat down: "Is there something wrong?"

"Two things."

Su Qiong stretched out two fingers: "And they are all related to Wenwen."

"Did she get into trouble? The police station notified her family?"

Tian Moyun thought subconsciously.

Could it be that I gave her a large sum of money, and then the girl's heart swelled, and then she got into trouble?
It's okay to talk about the money, but I'm afraid it's something else, and I won't be able to explain it to my family.

"You think too much……"

Su Qiong was a little speechless, not interested in listening to his wild guesses, and quickly said: "The new book written by her is finished, I think the content is not bad, so I want you to see if you can adapt it... To be honest, this book The story is really good, a big improvement on the previous two books."

"Really? Then I'll look back."

Tian Moyun nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "What about the other thing?"

"The song you wrote for her during the Chinese New Year."

Su Qiong whispered: "She sang with that Huang Xiaogu, and it was produced in a recording studio. Would you like to listen to it?"

"Crazy Song"?
Tian Moyun was taken aback: "I was just teasing her, did she really sing?"

"Of course, I think it's quite interesting."

As Su Qiong said, she took out her mobile phone and earphones, turned on the music player, and shared her happiness of the day with him.

"Crazy Song" is a very simple saliva song.

The biggest feature of this song is brainlessness, sand sculpture, and joy. It is completely different from all songs on the market, and it is more magical and brainwashing.

Tian Wenwen and Huang Xiaogu both have sweeter voices, and their personalities... are also very similar to the style of this song, so the effect of singing is amazing.

"This idiot's singing is quite interesting."

Tian Moyun laughed for a long time, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "Xiao Susu, do you think... if only the two of us listen to this kind of song, will it be less fun?"

"Uh……"

Su Qiong suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"I think it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together. The real happiness should be shared with everyone."

Tian Moyun said with a smile: "The completion of this song is quite high. They hired a professional song production team, and the post-production tuning is also very good. It can be said that it is not easy to show the sand sculpture style in the song to the fullest. , I think... Upload it to [Starry Sky Music], and then put a big recommendation on the homepage... Tsk tsk tsk, the two of them will become famous in minutes."

"..."

Su Qiong was silent for a few seconds, then said after deliberation: "I think...the two of them may not be happy."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Tian Moyun waved his hand: "In this way, when we promote this song, it's enough not to reveal their identities. Give them a group name as their stage name, and call them... Happy Girls! What do you think?"

Happy girl?

Why don't you just call it Sand Sculpture Girl?
Su Qiong complained in her heart, but her face remained calm: "Why don't you tell them in advance?"

"No, no, no, I'm going to give them a surprise. If I explain it in advance, the surprise will be gone."

Tian Moyun shook her head: "Okay, this matter has been decided so happily... In other words, I'd better prepare a new song for them first, so I can comfort them when the time comes."

It's a good idea if you have something in mind!

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Su Qiong simply didn't bother to talk nonsense, and just said: "You can handle the new song on your own, it's better to be a serious pop song, don't do such weird things anymore, or Yes...you take the time to read her new book, there is already a film and television company wanting to buy the copyright of that book, it's really good."
