Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

"Already sold tens of millions?!"

Sony headquarters, in the office.

Yoshida, who had just received the call, frowned deeply.

"Yes, because of the Honghuang game, the daily sales and number of online users of our game have almost halved, and may... not reach the expected 20 million."

Snapped!

Yoshida slapped his hand on the table, his expression gloomy.

One week.

One week.

It exceeded their painstaking efforts for more than a month.

And it was also with the cooperation of the "Robot" movie!

With the support of this movie that started the cyberpunk trend, it was still unable to beat the great new games, and was overtaken by latecomers.

"What's going on! You mean our game can't compare to the prehistoric new game??"

"No, President, that's not what I meant. It's just that... the sales of Honghuang's game are increasing too fast. If we continue to promote it with high standards, sooner or later we will lose money..."

The voice on the other end of the phone hurriedly explained, looking a little flustered.

After all, they have invested too much money in publicity and distribution in order to occupy the market first. In addition, several of them have been engaged in price wars, and virtual devices are sold at a loss.

If this continues.

Even if the Soni family has a great cause.

It cannot support such huge consumption.

And the shareholders will definitely not agree to such endless consumption, they need to make money!

As the apparent leader of Soni, how could Yoshida not know this truth?

After clenching his fists for a while, he finally slowly loosened them and said in a deep voice: "Inform all departments to reduce the promotion of new games and transfer funds to the transplantation of platform games!"

Click——

After that, hang up the phone immediately.

The entire office fell into silence again.

Now is a time when several virtual platforms are competing fiercely. It is obviously unwise to spend a large amount of money on the promotion of a single game.

No matter how worried he was about the prehistoric times, he could only readjust the flow of funds and look for opportunities when things stabilized in the future.

This also caused.

News about the new game "Machine Walker" dropped sharply on the Internet. In just one week, it was overshadowed by the great "2077".

Even other similar competing products pale in comparison to this game.

All of a sudden, "2077" has become the well-deserved pinnacle of the cyberpunk genre!

"I knew I was right."

In the live broadcast room.

Old E, feeling the surge in popularity of the game, said confidently.

Since experiencing the previous explosive plot, he has determined that "2077" will be the top and most unsurpassable cyberpunk game.

The subsequent play experience also confirmed this for him.

Because he found that in addition to the shocking graphics and explosion of special effects, this game also had a feature that other competing products could not surpass.

That’s the sense of identity.

He has also tried other competing products.

But in the process of playing, I will have a strong feeling that I am just a player from a God's perspective. I am outside the game and just have fun.

"2077" is different.

It will guide you step by step to become the protagonist, and each plot will have an impact on the subsequent development.

For example, after witnessing the death of Saburo Arafata, Yorinobu Arababa would hunt him down in order to kill him and silence him. Many desperadoes would also hunt him down for a high bounty.

What the player has to do is to walk around Night City under the pressure of identity leakage, looking for opportunities to escape from the city.

There was also a series of events triggered by Saburo Arabata's daughter coming over to attend the memorial service.

Everything is so natural and reasonable, as if it is really happening around you.

It gives them the illusion that they are the protagonist V, with a strong sense of immersion and a top-notch plot atmosphere.

This is such a complete and true story.

This allows "2077" to stand out among many competing products, completely surpassing those simple games with savior mode.

Maybe.

That's why they really like this game.

"I understand the truth. Since you are running for your life, why are you still racing Shark Man on the street?"

At this time, a barrage passed by.

The audience in the live broadcast room had strange expressions on their faces, looking at Old E who was driving a stolen luxury car to massacre people.

"What do you know? I am making things worse and creating opportunities to escape... Damn! The special forces are chasing me!... Haha, come on, let's see who is faster, your car or my gun!"

Loud laughter echoed in the live broadcast room.

After understanding the corruption in Night City, Old E completely let himself go, robbing sharks everywhere, and directly played a crime game.

Don't tell me yet.

Ever since I figured out how to play this game.

Many players have also opened the door to the new world, lingering in the Night City all day long, burning, killing and looting, and experiencing the excitement of being a desperado.

The video circulated.

Those who were watching were shocked, and they also ran to download the game and play it themselves.

…

Ancient times.

Inside the office.

Just when many manufacturers are competing fiercely and players are addicted to games.

After Chen Lin perfected the game plan, he received an invitation from outside.

"Invite me to an Internet symposium?"

Chen Lin looked at the emails on his computer with surprise.

"That's about right. How should I reply there?"

Lao Song's voice came from the phone.

The Internet Development Symposium is a grand event related to the direction of the domestic Internet.

To put it bluntly, it is a gathering of industry leaders to discuss the future development trend of the Internet industry and to build closer relationships.

That’s the industry slang.

How can we make more money in the next few years?

Although it is just an ordinary symposium, the participants are all leading figures in the Internet industry. Just a tap of their feet can cause drastic changes in the entire industry.

The information they revealed at the meeting is crucial to many people and the news media, and may even affect the future direction of the industry.

Therefore, every year when this kind of conference is held, it will attract the attention of countless news media and practitioners.

after all.

The Internet covers so many aspects.

Coupled with the strong rise of games and entertainment in recent years, it has become one of the important industries in the country.

"Go ahead. I happen to be free recently. Let's go see what other big manufacturers are planning. It would be better if we can discuss a few projects."

Chen Lin thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, then I will answer them."

After Lao Song finished speaking, he hung up the phone and went to contact the conference organizer.

Chen Linze took a look at the time and place on the email, then stood up and left the office.

Early the next morning.

When Chen Lin took Qin Meng on the plane.

Preparations for the symposium in the capital are already underway.

Rows of seats were placed inside the venue, covered with clean white cloths, with mineral water and name tags placed on them.

Staff members were coming and going, shouting constantly.

"Quick, quick! Arrange those things!"

"Hurry, check all the equipment!"

"Where's the reception? Are you all ready?"

In the busy venue, in addition to the staff, there were also many news media setting up cameras nearby.

Even outside the venue, a large number of media gathered, and it looked like a grand event.

soon.

Cars drive in.

Under the escort of security forces, a series of impressive figures stepped onto the red carpet and came together with smiles on their faces.

"Haha, Mr. Tan, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you still have the same style."

"It turns out to be Mr. Liu. I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that your business has been doing very well recently."

"Isn't this Lao Zhang? Are you coming to this meeting too?"

"Just come over and join in the fun. It seems we arrived early."

Those who can make a name for themselves on the Internet are basically well-known and know each other.

As soon as they got off the car, they walked into the venue chatting and laughing as if they were meeting old friends.

The media around them took photos wildly, recording the moment when these industry leaders shook hands.

"Look! It's the boss of Shengqu!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the crowd.

I saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking out of a simple domestic car, walking into the venue while talking and laughing with several partners.

As a well-known domestic game manufacturer, Shengqu's status is naturally unmatched by other companies, and it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Even those who had just entered the venue and were seated stood up one after another, came forward with smiles on their faces, and greeted each other.

As the time goes.

More and more big guys are attending.

Each appearance caused a commotion in the venue.

Especially when Internet giants such as Penguin, Juqing, Huami, Bilibili, Byte, and Pinxixi arrived, there were even more shouts, and the cameras were almost focused on the people sitting in the first row.

"Isn't this Boss Chen? Are you here too?"

As soon as he sat down, the Byte boss looked at Chen Rui, the boss of station B next to him.

As everyone knows.

Both are video platforms.

Although one focuses on short videos and the other focuses on long videos, competition has been constant in recent years and the relationship is not very good.

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. Nice to meet you."

Chen Rui looked at Zhang Ming with a smile on his face and did not show any dissatisfaction.

People at their level would hardly show joy. Even if the person sitting next to them was the enemy who killed their father, they would probably smile.

certainly.

There are also a few with bad tempers.

Various noises echoed in the venue.

Zhang Ming glanced at the direction of the voices and smiled: "I heard that Station B has been working hard to expand its virtual client business in the past two years and achieved considerable results. Is this why you came here this time?"

Virtual side!

Hear these three words.

The people who were talking next to him all had their eyes fixed, and all their attention fell here.

If.

What Internet industry has the most potential today?

It is definitely a virtual end.

As an industry that has risen strongly in the past two years, the entire Internet at home and abroad has been greatly impacted.

How many companies are trying to squeeze in, and if they get on the express train of the times, they are naturally very concerned about this topic.

It can be seen from the Penguin and the boss of Juqing who are surrounded in the distance.

Because they are the only two companies that have successfully developed new equipment this year.

"Mr. Zhang was joking. With the current momentum on the virtual side, who doesn't want to join in? I'm here just to meet one person."

Meet someone?

Everyone was shocked when they heard Chen Rui's words.

In China, there are not many people who can make the owner of Dangtang Station B pay such attention, let alone go all the way to attend a symposium.

At the same time, I was very confused.

The list of participants for the symposium is generally not announced to the outside world in advance unless we have some inside information.

Can Chen Rui be so solemn.

Could it be that.

Is it that one? ?

A figure suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

Just then, the door to the inner passage opened.

A figure dressed casually, young and incompatible with everyone in the venue, but unusually calm, slowly walked in, followed by a large number of staff and media.

For a moment.

All eyes in the arena focused on him, and their expressions all changed.

But before they could react, Chen Rui, who was sitting in the front row, quickly stood up and greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, I've been waiting for you."

A greeting made everyone wake up suddenly, looking at the visitor in shock and surprise.

Immediately, his eyes became hot.

Even Penguin and Juqing turned their heads with caution.

"It turns out to be Brother Chen Rui, are you here so soon?"

Chen Lin, who had just entered the venue, was surprised by the spectacular scene in front of him, and recognized Chen Rui at a glance.

When discussing cooperation before, he went to the headquarters of station b and met with the other party several times.

In addition, the two families have a lot of contacts, so they are relatively familiar with each other.

"I just arrived, but I didn't expect Mr. Chen to attend this symposium. I came in a hurry and didn't tell you. I was supposed to come together."

"That's just right. I just have something I want to talk to you about. I'll find a place to have a meal when I'm free."

"That's a good feeling."

The two of them just sat down chatting.

The accompanying staff also very wisely replaced the name tag next to Chen Rui and replaced it with a new one.

When they saw the words "Chen Lin" on a red background and white letters on it, the surrounding crowd suddenly became commotion.

The representatives who were originally surrounding the Penguin Giant Engine also hurriedly changed their routes and ran over.
