Chapter 209 Game release
"We will mainly paint street murals." Mu Bai began to explain his second training:

"There are two types of murals of this type. One is the ones you paint on the walls, and the style and specifications are closer to modern murals.

"There is another type of mural that is painted on the ground. This kind of mural needs to have enough impact, and it also needs to avoid visual difference.

"Because the painting is on the ground, you have to look down instead of looking up normally, so it is somewhat different from the murals on the wall."

Liu Zhe nodded, pointed to the concrete floor in the front yard and asked, "What are we going to paint in such a large space? Is it similar to the content on the wall?"

"No, no, no." Mu Bai took Liu Zhe to his easel, rummaged through the drafts, and said, "Pictures drawn on the ground must first be complete. If it is too messy, it will distract people's attention and affect the painting. Effect.

"Look at this..."

Mu Bai took out a draft, it was a scene of a beach, with islands in the distance and ships passing by, smooth water, waves, fish in the sea, starfish and shells on the coast, and Some coconut trees.

"And this one."

Mu Bai took out another draft, and two giant hands protruding from the ground opened a huge hole in the ground.The owner of the two giant hands came from a monster with a tauren face and burning fire all over his body. At this time, the monster was howling and trying to climb up from the ground.

In these two drafts, Mu Bai only drew a sketch, only a rough outline, only the small fish in the sea and the face of the monster were detailed.

Although these scenes are simply outlined, they are very vivid.

Especially that ferocious monster, Liu Zhe seemed to be able to feel that as long as this guy came out of the ground, nothing good would happen.

Mu Bai explained: "These are the two drafts I designed for the front yard, first of all, they are all describing a scene, and second, when you are drawing, you must master the visual effects and try to draw as realistically as possible.

"It's best to have an immersive feeling."

Liu Zhe sat next to Mu Bai: "Put the scenes of these two paintings in the front yard, it's fun to think about."

"Which one do you prefer?"

Liu Zhe carefully compared and said: "This is the beach."

"why?"

"The characters we painted on the outer wall of the studio, although there are some monsters, are kind-hearted. The scene design is also biased towards aesthetics, which does not match the painting style of monsters."

"Not bad!" Mu Bai said with a smile in his heart, "Liu Zhe has made a lot of progress in this period of time!"

He smiled and said: "And the beach in the front yard is placed together with the murals on the outer wall, which has another advantage. It's like the front yard is the sea, and the studio is the shore. Not only do they not conflict, but they can also echo each other."

Liu Zhe nodded repeatedly, and then asked: "When will the beach be painted?"

Just as Mu Bai was about to answer, Yang Wenjun came over angrily: "The people in the 'Software Mall' are really big talkers!"

She walked up to Mu Bai, clenched her fists and said, "Just now I talked to the people from 'Software House' on the phone, and they actually asked for 30 yuan in advertising fees! They are willing to put our game in a prominent position on the homepage! And said Why the 30 only gives us one month!"

Mu Bai said helplessly, "Only 30?"

"'Only' 30? Director Mu, when did the sky send money? You tell me where such a good thing is, and I'll pick it up too!" Yang Wenjun deeply doubted, is there something wrong with Mu Bai's ears?

"For this price, it can only be said that their mall does not have much traffic." Mu Bai frowned.

If it were the software mall of several big Internet companies in the foodie empire, a little-known game, even if it was paid 300 million, people would have to consider whether to give it to the homepage.

Yang Wenjun reminded: "Generally speaking, for the software sold in the 'software mall', the 'software mall' has to pay a certain fee to the official website of the software, and the official website allows him to sell it.

"Moreover, the official website of the software will take a big part of the sales. It's fine if we don't pay us for consumption, and we will ask us for such a sky-high advertising fee!"

"Here!" Mu Bai said, "We will pay for this fee! But we need to sign a contract, and the game revenue must be remitted to us in full. They can no longer take a commission, and they must place a page advertisement in a prominent position."

Yang Wenjun was stunned for a while: "Are you out of your mind? 30, brother! 30 for a family, and more than 200 million for seven or eight 'software stores'!"

"Spending more than 200 million yuan to promote the game is not much at all!" Mu Bai said with a smile: "You remember to find one of the best 'software stores', and deliberately skip him and not cooperate with him. Later, I will have a way to let them Spit out the money again."

"Okay, you have the final say. But," Yang Wenjun said helplessly, "the studio doesn't have so much money in its account anymore."

Mu Bai said without hesitation: "I will inject another 300 million yuan, and I can't be stingy in publicity!"

Yang Wenjun asked: "Is there really a place to put money?"

"That's my hard-earned money!" Mu Bai handed the bank card to Yang Wenjun: "Go, Liu Zhe and I still have work to discuss."

Yang Wenjun took the bank card and left. Liu Zhe said: "If you are short of money, just tell me and I will help you find a way."

He really didn't expect that the promotion of the game could make so much money.

In fact, if you take the retail route of distributors, you will need more advertising expenses, and the money will be mainly spent on TV, large websites and print advertisements.

These three places are so easy to spend money, when Mu Bai was preparing to release it himself, he was ready to put all his savings on publicity and give it a go.

Mu Bai smiled and said: "We haven't reached that step yet, let's continue."

He picked up the draft: "When you finish the mural on the outer wall of the studio, wash the ground with water and start painting." Mu Bai also handed the sketch of the monster to Liu Zhe: "You can use this as the material for your future creations. "

Liu Zhe put away the draft, and immediately called several competent subordinates to discuss how to draw the beach.

In the afternoon of that day, taking advantage of the sunny weather, Liu Zhe organized people to clean the ground, and then started to make overall plans, and asked Mu Bai if he was in doubt.

As for Mu Bai, who has never drawn anything similar, why is he so clear about the process and precautions?
Liu Zhe and others put these into Mu Bai's talent, Mu Bai has done so many amazing things, it seems that there is not much of this one.

After work started, Liu Zhe saw a few people he didn't know standing at the gate of the courtyard to take pictures.

It suddenly occurred to him that recently on the website, someone was discussing the murals of Guofeng Studio and posted a few photos.

Many netizens said that they wanted to come to the studio and take a look. These people who took pictures may be netizens who came to join in the fun.

The people around Liu Zhe also saw it, and two people were about to step forward to ask, but Liu Zhe hurriedly said, "Let them take pictures!"

While talking, Liu Zhe waved to the people who took the photos, and the people who took the photos responded with smiles, and the scene was enjoyable.

……

In Pinghai Mansion, Xiao Zhao from the General Planning Department of the Tourism Industry read the third chapter of "Inuyasha" which was just updated for the first time.

After reading more than ten pages of the comic, I still have some unfinished thoughts.

He wrote in the comment area: Inuyasha is very powerful, he solved that monster in two or three strokes.This guy is really a dog!The command to make him obedient and obedient turned out to be "sit down"!
After the comment was posted, people quickly liked it, and someone else replied: Either it is called "Inu" Yasha!

For everyone's positive response, Xiao Zhao felt very fulfilled. Looking down in the comment area, some people were discussing the relationship between Higurashi and Kikyo, and some were discussing the grievances between Inuyasha and Kikyo.

After watching for a while, Xiao Zhao went to the live broadcast area again. Today there are actually two live broadcasts. One is that Wu Jun from the "Inuyasha" team is live broadcasting the plot of the third episode, and talking about the direction of creation in the future.

The other is how Zhang Hui plays "Xiang Wang Feng Yun Lu" in the live broadcast. Xiao Zhao usually doesn't play the game very much, and he only intends to turn it off after watching it for a few minutes.

It's just that he didn't expect that the graphics of this game turned out to be very good, and the gameplay was very novel.

It's not an ordinary game. The character you operate reads a line of poems, the opponent reads a line of poems, and finally gives a judgment on who wins and who loses.

Zhang Hui introduced that the thing that represents the state of a character in "The Record of King Xiangyun" is called a "blood bar". The blood bar hangs on the top of the character's head, and each opponent has about twenty or thirty drops of blood.

And the way of fighting is not the scene of a literary battle, but directly using poems to deduct blood after meeting each other.

What's even better is the poetic attacks of the character King Xiang, some of which directly deduct blood, some are range attacks, and some are range dizziness, with various effects.

After watching the live broadcast for a while, Xiao Zhao also became interested.

When he logged into "Guofeng.com" just now, he saw a dynamic advertisement on the homepage. Today is the release date of "The Wind and Cloud Record of King Xiang".

What else to say: Defining the new future of the gaming industry!

Xiao Zhao Xin said, I don't know if this game is fun or not, but this tone is really loud.

He went back to the home page and went to the game download page through the link in the advertisement.

Xiao Zhao didn't expect that "Xiang Wang Feng Yun Lu" is very cheap, only twenty.

The games on the market today are all over 80, and some big brand games even only sell for more than [-]!
Even if you buy it from a software store, it is the same price as buying a physical disk.

Just now Xiao Zhao has seen the picture quality of "Xiangwang Fengyunlu". It belongs to the kind of game whose market price can be more than [-], but only bought [-] in the end!
Xiao Zhao decisively downloaded one, and after opening the game, a full-screen image suddenly popped up.

The picture is an engraving, which shows a fat man dressed as an ancient king, drinking from a wine bottle. In front of him are sitting a few seductive women, one is preparing to pour wine, and the other is serving food for the king.

Simultaneously with the full-screen image, there is also a piece of fast-paced music, and at the same time, a magnetic voice introduces: "In March 133 AD, after King Zhou Yan usurped the throne, he feasted and danced every day, and indulged in singing and dancing. He never listened to the government. For a while, the officialdom was rotten and the people were in dire straits. In August, King Yan lost his power and was expelled from the palace by the ministers headed by the state scholar Huang Kaiwei."

Then the engraving changed, and it became a picture of several middle-aged people arguing fiercely.

This engraving is full of imagery, Xiao Zhao seems to have heard their quarrel!
