Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Yu Dong knew that he was out of tune when he sang, but it was the first time he knew that he was out of tune when he whistled.

At the beginning, he was quite confident, but after he finished blowing, Cheng Yanqiu began to tell him that something was out of tune, that the timing was wrong, and the breath was wrong.

After being corrected several times, Yu Dong found that he couldn't whistle anymore.

After the recording was finally finished, Yu Dong sat on the sofa in a daze. He felt that his brain was a little short of oxygen.

Cheng Yanqiu came over with a glass of water and handed it to him, "Drink some water, let you record a whistle, it will make you tired. You usually write for a whole day, and I have never seen you so tired."

Yu Dong took a sip from the teacup and said angrily, "Writing a book is not so intense. If I knew it would take so long to record, I would definitely not come. Now that the whistle is recorded, do you want to write a book?" Do you want to continue with the next arrangement?"

Cheng Yanqiu nodded, and said, "Well, but it's getting late today, I'll go back and tidy up, and I'll do it tomorrow."

Yu Dong looked around in the recording studio, and then asked with a smile, "How about Sun Yanzi's album? The songs in her album are all recorded here."

"That album has been recorded a long time ago, and it will start selling in a few days. Recently, Deep Space Music is busy promoting her."

"Well, the quality of her album is very good, and there should be no problem with sales."

Cheng Yanqiu smiled and nodded, "Well, Li Sisong and his brothers also have great confidence in Sun Yanzi. I heard that they are already preparing to make her a second album. I guess she will come here to use the recording studio in a while."

"Let her use it. It can be seen that Li Sisong and the others value Sun Yanzi very much. After all, she is also their student. It is very important to them to bring her out, and it is also a golden signboard, which is very beneficial to their school's enrollment."

"It's not just for recruiting students. Because of Xiao Zhou's matter, they are also competing with each other. They hope that they can also promote a phenomenal singer."

Yu Dong smiled, "Everyone's healthy competition is not a bad thing for Xiao Zhou and Sun Yanzi, and it can keep them motivated. Li Sisong's thoughts are also understandable. They must be worried that the group will divert resources to Jay Chou. , Ignore Deep Space Music. When will Sun Yanzi's album be released?"

"On June 24th, she will have a signing event in Beishi, Baodao."

"A signing event was also arranged." Yu Dong was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, let's go to Beishi at that time. It just so happens that Mr. Shi of Acer keeps asking me to visit his place. Talk to him about things."

Cheng Yanqiu nodded and agreed, "Yes, "Flower and Grass Lover" is currently filming on Treasure Island. Let's go there, so we can also visit their crew."

……

After leaving the recording studio, Yu Dong went to the 22nd floor where Yu Yu was.

Yu Liang was listening to Jiang Jie's report on work. When he saw Yu Dong coming, he smiled and said, "The boss came just in time. Jiang Jie is talking to me about the space."

Yu Dong glanced at Jiang Jie, and said with a smile, "How is the performance during the time since Space went online?"

"It's not bad, the overall performance is quite satisfactory." Jiang Jie replied.

"It's quite satisfactory, that is to say, the performance is average. What's the reason? Because the company didn't help with publicity, or there is a problem with the platform itself. Have you collected feedback from users during this period? What do players say?" Yu Dongyi asked repeatedly. Several questions.

Jiang Jie replied, "From the opinions we have collected from some users, everyone's evaluation of space is not bad. They think that the advantages of space are faster loading response, smoother operation, and beautiful interface. But there are also many people Said, the number of games sold on the platform is small, and the price is not advantageous compared to other places to obtain games."

Yu Dong nodded, "That is to say, from the users' point of view, there is no other reason for them to choose the space platform other than fast loading and beautiful interface."

"Well, it's mainly the price. They would rather buy the game disc, or download it directly from the website."

"What do you think?" Yu Dong asked.

Jiang Jie said with a smile, "I don't think it's a big problem. Although space cannot satisfy users temporarily in terms of price and the number of games, it won't take long for players to realize the benefits of space. At least compared to buying game discs, Buying games on Space will not only make the installation easier, but the subsequent upgrades and bug fixes will also give them a better experience."

In fact, what Jiang Jie was talking about was also the disadvantage of genuine game discs. The discs provide a one-time service. The subsequent upgrades and bug fixes of the game can only be solved by the players themselves. It is very troublesome, and many players will not do it at all.

In this case, many people would rather choose pirated game discs, and the genuine ones can't bring them a better experience anyway.

With space, it’s different. After users purchase games on the platform, the installation is very simple. If they encounter upgrades or bug fixes later, they can directly perform one-click operations on the platform, and users don’t need to worry at all.

Yu Dong also saw this point, so I believe that players will gradually become dependent on space. With more and more players in space, negotiations with major game manufacturers will be more confident in the future, and the price will naturally be lower. It's easy to discuss.

Of course, if you want to build a space, Deep Space's own development strength is also very important. Only when the space has more exclusive games, can you really attract users by relying on content.

It's just that the games under Deep Space have cooperation with other game distribution websites, and there is no way to sell them as exclusive games on the space platform in a short time.

"Medal of Honor: Joint Assault" developed by the 2015 studio will be launched on the space platform as an exclusive game, but it may not be until the next year when the game is fully developed.

Blizzard's games are all on Battle.net, so they definitely can't be sold on the space.

In fact, there are many games that have not been discussed, and it is also related to the commission that space wants. No matter which game manufacturer it is negotiating with, space insists on charging 30.00% commission.

In the eyes of some game manufacturers, the commission requested by space is too high, and they are only willing to give 15.00% or even lower.

Space was able to negotiate "FIFA" because of the tiered commission. As long as the sales of the game reach 500 million US dollars, the commission can be reduced by 5.00%. When it reaches 1000 million US dollars, it can be reduced by 5.00% , the minimum can be reduced to 15.00%.

Such a strategy can only attract well-known masterpieces, because it is difficult for those unknown games to reach this sales volume. Since they cannot reach the sales volume, they will not be able to enjoy the commission reduction.

"V agency is developing "Half-Life 2" recently, but it should take a long time to meet the players."

Yu Dong shook his head, "That's too far away, so don't count on them. Has our own game company developed any new games recently?"

"Our company's main energy is still on the existing game series, and we don't have much energy to develop new games."

Yu Dong frowned, but he couldn't say anything.Their own games, whether it is "Resident Evil", "Escape", "Xiao Xiao Le", "Lian Lian Kan", are all developing sequels.There are only so many individuals in the company, and it is really difficult to develop new games.

After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Yu Dong looked at his watch. It was past five o'clock. He smiled and said, "Jiang Jie, have you finished your work report?"

Jiang Jie nodded, "Well, I'm just talking to Mr. Yu about the space situation, there's nothing else to do."

"Since there is nothing else, please tell me about Xohua Electronics."

Hearing that they wanted Xohua Electronics, Jiang Jie said hello and left the office.

After he left, Yu Yue said, "Xiahua Electronics is about to lose patience with the mobile phone business. If there is no accident, we should be able to win their mobile phone business. According to my prediction, it will take about a year A lot of time."

"There is no rush in terms of time. Sometimes it is not good to go early. BenQ still has problems to be solved. It may not be a good thing to focus on its own mobile phone brand too early."

"Mr. Li obviously doesn't think so. He is now focused on launching his own brand and separating from Acer early. Therefore, he needs mobile phones, because this is what Acer has not done. To a certain extent, BenQ has done After the mobile phone, it can be regarded as surpassing Acer."

Yu Dong said with a smile, "This is an obsession. This obsession in Li Kunyao's heart is sometimes a motivation, but sometimes it can also become a hindrance. Regarding the mobile phone, if there is no news from Xoceco , or don’t do it.”

Yuyou shrugged his shoulders, "Boss, you have to tell Mr. Li about this. I can't control it. He thinks about borrowing licenses to produce every day. After negotiating with Xohua Electronics this time, he calmed down a little, but I think it will continue. It won't be long before he's going to borrow another card."

"Let's talk about it after he borrows the card. In addition, have you found out clearly whether there are people from other companies going before you?"

Yu Yu shook his head, "Qi Chenggong said that we are the first wave, and judging from his reaction, we are indeed the first wave. Otherwise, there will definitely be more twists and turns after signing the letter of intent this time. Not to mention, Qi Chenggong will definitely talk about the price with others.”

"Well, if you stare at Xohua Electronics, there must be more than one company that has your eyes on them."

"I'll try to keep an eye on it."

After asking about Xohua Electronics, Yu Dong said again, "Contact Shinji Mikami, and I will have a conference call with him sometime."

"For the conference call, I will contact you in the evening and ask, if there is time there, can it be tomorrow morning?"

Yu Dong nodded: "No problem."

……

The next morning, Yu Dong held a meeting with Shinji Mikami by phone.

Not many people attended the meeting, except for Mikami Shinji, Yu Yu, Jiang Jie, and Falfo, another high-level executive of Deep Space Games.

Falfort is a manager who was transferred from the human resources department of the head office and does not understand technology.

After the call was connected, Yu Dong greeted Shinji Mikami and Falfort respectively, and said, "Sorry, I have delayed the two of you. We have to have a meeting at such a late hour."

Falfoy laughed, "It's a pleasant thing to be able to hear the boss's voice at this time, Mikami, don't you think so?"

Shinji Mikami said with a smile, "I believe that the boss called us for a meeting at this time, and there must be a surprise for us."

"Mikami, is your staff tense recently?"

Hearing Yu Dong's question, Mikami Shinji couldn't figure out Yu Dong's intentions, and didn't know how to answer for a while. He thought for a while and said, "There are not many people in the company, and it is easy to be in a hurry when encountering some emergencies, but this Several projects have been running smoothly for a while without any problems.”

"Can someone be spared to make a new plan?"

On the other end of the phone, Mikami Shinji and Falfoy looked at each other, the former had a smile on his face, he had already guessed what Yu Dong meant, and said with a smile, "Boss, although my colleagues are very busy, if you Is there any new plan worth doing, I believe everyone is willing to squeeze in time to do it. Boss, do you have any new plan? Is it big or difficult? If you do it in a group of four or five people, Can it work?"

"It's not too difficult, but it's not easy to make. Let me tell you about the idea first, and then you can measure the difficulty of making it. Our game..."

"Boss, wait a moment, I'll make a record...Okay, boss, tell me."

"The game I'm talking about now belongs to a guard game."

"Is it similar to Red Alert?" Falfort asked.

"No, it's actually a game similar to Territory Battle."

"Territory War... It seems that a new version was released not long ago. I checked it out and it's quite interesting, but this kind of game is not suitable for us."

"I just said that the gameplay is a bit like a territorial battle. In this way, let me tell you a little about the background story of this game. Suppose you are a farmer and there is a field in front of your house, and there is a grave on the other side of the field. .There are all kinds of zombies buried under these graves, and they will crawl out of the soil, and then walk across the field in front of your house to your house and eat your brains."

Shinji Mikami continued: "If we want to resist these zombies, we have to use weapons. Is this a shooting game?"

"It's not a shooter, we're just placing the weapons and they're automatically triggered."

"Well, this mechanism is a bit similar to the Red Alert. So, how to get weapons?"

"Before answering this question, let me ask you a question. What do you think is the best weapon to use against zombies?"

Falfoy said first: "Use silver weapons, zombies are more afraid of this."

Shinji Mikami said with a smile, "What kind of weapon is actually used is secondary. The key is to shoot the zombie's head. Of course, if there is a choice, it is better to directly cover it with artillery."

Yu Dong shook his head, "The weapons in this game will be plants."
