Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

Spring passes and summer comes.

In a blink of an eye, May passed.

The originally cool weather has gradually been replaced by hot summer weather.

After the e-sports competition last month, the popularity of the MMO game market slowly cooled down and finally returned to calm.

And the result.

It surprised countless players and manufacturers.

"World of Warcraft", which was originally suppressed by major manufacturers, turned around in just three months, crushing all other competing products and becoming this year's MMO hit!

Even "Oracle", which was released first and had the most outstanding results, has become a foil, and the gap is clear at a glance.

This has also resulted in many MMO manufacturers beginning to rush to imitate the gameplay of "World of Warcraft", and some are even trying to gain popularity under the banner of surpassing World of Warcraft.

period.

There are also many games that have achieved outstanding results and become popular online.

It can be said to be a very lively month.

only.

No matter how popular these games are, they can't become a hot topic.

That is the college entrance examination!

As May passes, June arrives.

The most important day for high school seniors across the country has finally arrived, sparking widespread discussion online.

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

"Uncle the traffic policeman's motorcycle is already thirsty."

"What do you mean? The one who didn't think about taking the college entrance examination until he finished last year's exam was the best."

"This time of year is the happiest time for me, because I'm going to college hahaha..."

"Fuck! You're all here to gloat, right? Even though I've graduated too."

"Forgive me for smiling unkindly."

If you have been caught in the rain, you must tear off other people's clothes.

This is the favorite thing that Sha Diao netizens usually do.

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

But after entering the society, I found out.

That's just one of the ups and downs in life.

Although these words were meant to be ridiculing, they also had a comforting effect, making those candidates less nervous.

Not to mention some of them heartless.

There are only a few days left for the exam, and I am still bragging, chatting and gossiping with people online. I don’t know how to write the word nervous.

No.

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

There were candidates running over immediately to join in the fun.

"When will the new version be released? It's been half a month, and the production team doesn't dare to rest like this."

"The college entrance examination is coming soon. Why don't you just release a new game and wish us good luck in the exam?"

"That's right, we usually support Honghuang Games."

"It's been quiet lately. Are you secretly holding back your ultimate move again?"

"It's okay to just send a congratulatory video to fool me."

As the college entrance examination approaches, many manufacturers have come out to take advantage of the popularity, cheering the candidates and promoting their own games at the same time.

I wish all the candidates could play their games after graduation.

Only Honghuang remained silent and became the target of ridicule.

Even those who were not candidates came to join in the fun.

Old Song was speechless for a while.

"These guys, if they don't prepare well for the exam, they still have time to play games here. They are really wasting their time!"

He is also a father.

If it were your own child like this, you would have to go home and give him a good beating.

"Isn't it inappropriate for a game director to say this?"

Chen Lin next to him looked strange. As expected, family and work are always two different things.

"Forget it, let's get down to business. Why did you come to see me?"

"The main thing is last year's first quarter financial report."

Lao Song coughed awkwardly and took out the newly printed report: "According to statistics, we have accumulated more than 40 billion in funds now, and the revenue in the first quarter of this year reached 15.6 billion. After deducting operation and development funds, there are still nearly 100 billion. billion, we have initially developed the capital to compete with those big manufacturers.”

"So many?" Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.

This was a lot more than he expected.

"Mainly because the number of games has increased and it has formed an industry, online games have 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 proportion is overseas?”

"About 27.3%."

"hiss……"

Chen Lin took a deep breath.

He remembered that last year it was less than 10%, but this year it increased nearly three times.

Although their country is a country with a large population, there are so many overseas countries, and the total number is a very scary 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!"

Lao Song answered affirmatively.

Although we now have the strength to compete with capital, the industry is still a bit too single. If we add overseas markets, it should be almost 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 in the hundreds of billions.

Losing money on one game won't have much of an impact at all.

I want to rely solely on the gaming industry to compete.

Overseas markets are essential.

"In this case, let me leave this matter to you. First, arrange stations in the big game countries. I will give you 3 billion in each place. Is that enough?"

"That's enough. We don't need too many manpower at the station. We just need to focus on publicity and distribution."

"Then please contact me and find a few trustworthy people. All recent production projects will be handed over to Lao Li first."

When it came time to hire people, Chen Lin discovered that the only ones he could use were Lao Song and Lao Li.

In the past, it was okay for the studio to be small.

Now that we are ready to explore overseas markets, we have to ask the operations director to do it himself.

Although Lao Song didn't say anything, the fatigue between his brows could not be concealed.

Thinking about it, he has worked hard for the studio for so many years and has been working hard without complaint. It’s time to find someone to share the burden.

"We are now considered a large international company. We can't let you do everything. When the time comes, I will arrange someone to be responsible for the overseas market. You can be responsible for the overall planning. You, too, can take a vacation when you are tired, and I don't need to approve it."

"This is what you said." Lao Song's eyes lit up, "Just recently, someone contacted me to talk about the overseas agency of "World of Warcraft". We can talk about it together then."

"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 fantasy-style game seems to be very popular overseas. We are here to talk to a company with pretty good strength."

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

"Okay, if nothing else, I'll find someone to make arrangements."

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

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

Missing in just a few minutes.

There are dozens more comments on various college entrance exam reminder games.

After a moment of astonishment, he suddenly had a plan in mind.

Immediately pick up the phone and contact Station B Su Peng.

"Manager Su, do you still have a quota for anime to be put on the shelves?"

"Of course, does Mr. Chen have new resources? You haven't visited our B station for a long time."

Su Peng, who was opposite him, was overjoyed that he had finally come to life after waiting for so long. He was worried that he had nothing to offer this year.

"There is indeed an animation that I want to put on the shelves before the college entrance examination. Is it convenient for you?" Chen Lin directly explained his purpose.

"Convenient! Of course it's convenient! As long as Mr. Chen comes, it can happen anytime!" Su Peng replied repeatedly.

I'm afraid you won't come.

I charge as much as you come.

Just based on its great reputation, it must have a decent amount of traffic!

"Okay, then I will ask someone to send the documents to you later. If you can, please do it as soon as possible. I will also make announcements here to help promote it."

"okay!"

Upon hearing that Honghuang would also promote it himself, Su Peng became more energetic and quickly agreed.

…

Two hours later.

A new announcement appeared below Honghuang’s official account.

And only a very brief sentence.

# What games should I play during the college entrance examination? Otherwise, you will be like him! #

Below the message, there was also a screenshot and a video link, which immediately confused the players.

"ah??"

"What is this?"

All the players stared blankly at this puzzling sentence and the picture underneath.

I saw an anime character on top of the picture.

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

Behind him is a strange building floating high in the sky, like a top.

"Sword Art Online"

Four large characters are fixed at the top of the picture. The fonts are vigorous and powerful, with a hint of edge.

Until then.

Players who were familiar with the prehistoric urination finally came to their senses.

"Hey guys, Honghuang just released an anime to celebrate the college entrance examination?"

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

"What anime, that's a game CG!"

"Ah, yes, yes, can the ancient animation be called animation?"

"What does the title mean? Will you become like him if you play the game?"

"This must be the protagonist of an anime."

"I want to see what kind of mess Honghuang is doing."

"This fresh graduate accepts the challenge!"

The strange title and the unexplained picture aroused the curiosity of many players, who clicked on the link to jump to station b.

Even the candidates who don't play games heard the news. After preparing for the exam, they flocked to Station B to see what this anime in which the protagonist becomes the protagonist is about.

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

In the study room of a high school, students were eating lunch. They took advantage of the lunch break to click on this anime on their tablets, which attracted other students to watch. They moved stools over to watch while eating.

"Sword Art Online? Is this a promotional CG for the new game?"

"There is indeed a CG tag underneath, it should be."

"You actually use anime to promote it. Is it a second game?"

"You'll know after you play it."

"It's a pity that only one episode has been updated, which is just enough to make dinner."

As he said that, he clicked on the screen and played it directly in full screen.

Everyone who was still talking in low voices instantly fell silent and stared at the screen.

Uh-huh!

The light comes on.

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

Then it appeared in a cloud and mist, quickly swooping down.

【2032】

[The birth of virtual games]

[The world enters the virtual era]

As a few lines of fonts flashed by, the screen switched to a jungle.

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

One man and one horse stood on the cliff, looking at a giant island suspended in the sky in the distance.

The grand background music stops abruptly here.

"It's actually a virtual game theme?"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

They have all heard of this.

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

Just like a spaceship space adventure, it is too far away from them. At most, they only occasionally discuss it.

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

Just thinking about it.

The screen switches again.

Come to a city.

Countless people gathered in front of each digital store, making noisy noises, as if they were queuing up to buy something.

At the same time, a reporter's voice also sounded.

[Everyone, it’s begun! 】

[This week’s game information, first of all, please take a look at the streets now. What are they waiting for in a long queue? 】

【Yes! It is Sword Art Online Online released by the prehistoric era! SAO for short! 】

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

Everyone stopped listening to the subsequent announcement, because they all laughed out loud when they heard the announcement of Honghuang.
