Reboot 2003

Chapter 358 008: Click Territory (-in-)

Later, Mr. Li took an emergency break from the customer service and went online to explain to Mr. Chen who suddenly asked for trouble. The misunderstanding was resolved.

Those three masters were not fired in the end. After all, as an IR, wrangling was a normal part of the job. More importantly, they were direct descendants of the CEO.

As for the president himself... of course he's fine.

Although they are managers hired to take care of the company, managers are not servants. Let alone acting on their own initiative, it is reasonable to make small mistakes.

What's more, what happened this time... Although the people in the good department were indeed transferred, they were also working on film and television dramas that were not discussed at the board meeting.

But Mr. Li came back and explained that this drama was produced by a small company he invested in, and the name of the investment was 'IP development', which actually had something to do with the game -

The TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" became a hit two years ago, so they bought the rights to film the Xuanyuan Sword: Heaven's Trace, one of the domestically produced swords. As for the game team that was transferred, the team leader was called 'Li Xiaoyao', and it looked like his name. Fans of this type of game signed up on their own this time, and the follow-up team has not returned yet, so this misunderstanding occurred...

With this explanation, it seems that the problem is indeed not serious.

Of course, after all, this is related to the route issue, and it cannot be said that there will be no problem if there are no problems with rights and responsibilities.

When Mr. Li came back, other directors arrived one after another. The directors' excuses and dissatisfaction with him basically focused on these aspects.

However, Mr. Li’s explanation also makes sense——

He said that according to statistics, the growth rate of playback in the ancient genre is very high, and now the company purchases copyrights in large quantities. Although various channels can make advertising money, they also attract some core users through these third-party copyrights...

At this time, our excellent channel resources are wasted by others, and we can't sell them for money. It's better to just make a movie and try it out...

It does sound reasonable. The directors nodded, and Chen Qin also thought it didn't matter. After all, traditional film and television had no future, but it was indeed the absolute upper reaches of the genuine film and television industry that he had just played in. In the original history, This is actually the route of Netflix.

Even if the channel makes TV by itself, it doesn't make much money, but it is still profitable and the risk is low. It can also help negotiate with third-party copyright holders to lower the price. By mastering the data, the channel can grasp a more accurate market. Data is another huge advantage compared to traditional film and television companies. In the future, this kind of content will be called online dramas. In fact, the boundary with traditional film and television is not clear, but the sales channels are different, and there are some differences in all aspects...

Having said that, everyone seems to think that it is not impossible. Of course, this issue is quite big after all. Mr. Li said that he would focus on reporting this matter at the next board meeting. The directors all accepted it, except Mr. Chen. Still a little dissatisfied.

Mr. Li’s route is... very good, but it’s still not good.

Mr. Chen likes games, not movies and TV series. No matter how reasonable it is for you to shoot this, the board of directors has not approved it.

And you also secretly kill first and then report later, I believe you are a ghost.

Chen Qin said nothing sadly, muttering in his heart.

Although it was fine at the time, I wrote it down anyway. As an important board member, I was concerned about the CEO of my company...

After all, this is the time.

The place to talk about profit distribution is the shareholders' meeting, but the board of directors is the place to decide the company's course. Such a large company has limited product capabilities; not everyone can mean what they say. At this time, it is reasonable to add a little internal friction over who has the final say. changes.

So that night, while Lou Xuemei was away, Lao Chen staggered home drunk and said to Chen Qin: "Xiao Qin, the turnover of our newly opened Little Red Riding Hood Leisure House is already higher than that of Hanzhang's hot pot restaurant. "

Because the three squirrels didn't sound right, the name ended up being Little Red Riding Hood. Chen Qin came up with the name and helped Lao Chen register the redhat trademark of Tianchao.

He was quite enthusiastic at first, but he lost interest in this matter for some reason today. Lao Chen felt bored and happily called Principal Lu and then went to bed.

The next day, I met the brother from the studio at the school gate and said sneakily: "We have found the specific house number of that family. Are we going to break the glass of his house or throw garbage into the meter box of his home?"

This is probably good news, but Chen Qin is not interested today either.

"Forget it, I'll give them an advantage this time. You guys are quite busy farming gold coins, so let's stop here!"

Young Master Chen went out of his way to spare the blind parent. The brother who helped was relieved, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, so he turned around and went back to the studio to make gold.

Ah Yue saw it from the side and covered her mouth and laughed: "You are actually kind-hearted!"

"That's right." Chen Qin said, "By the way, did your mother say anything to you last night?"

"what's wrong?"

Chen Qin touched his chin and said, "Something happened to the board of directors recently."

I haven't said it yet, but Ah Yue guessed it: "Is it related to our game yesterday?"

"almost."

A Yue tilted her head and continued to ask: "You saw people elsewhere running to film TV series. Is the problem on the route?"

"Correct."

A'yue turned to face her, while backing up, she continued to guess: "But nothing seemed to happen later, but you feel that the route problem must be corrected, so you want your mother to vote for you on the board of directors?"

Chen Qin said seriously: "Well, although she is on the board of directors of SUN, SUN now has a lot of business. He even shoots TV series. What kind of decency is this?"

"Okay, then I will send a text message to my mother later." A Yue said but asked, "But Chen Qin..."

"what happened?"

"Does our little game yesterday still need to be put on the shelves?"

"Yes, of course." Chen Qin said, "I asked last night. The people at Game Box will be back at work tomorrow, and our games will be uploaded by then."

As soon as A Yue entered the teaching building, she said: "But I think our game is still a bit featureless. There are a lot of values ​​​​in the game, and the players just wait for our progress bar to be full. I sent it to my mother to see, and she also I find it very boring.”

Chen Qin still kept saying the same thing: "We'll talk about this later..."

A Yue said: "Actually, I came up with another idea last night. We can actually change the entry-level gameplay of the game..."

As they talked, the two entered the classroom, still discussing the game they were playing recently, but they vaguely had other ideas.

Naturally, we still have to make games. What we made before was a purely text-based business simulation game. Players just choose to do this and that, and then wait for the game to automatically read the text. Of course, this kind of small game has its fun aspects. In today's world, It is very popular in the market, but waiting for the reading is somewhat boring. A Yue thought of a way——

"At the beginning, we asked players to send workers to work, and then obtain basic resources regularly. In fact, the original intention was to allow players to obtain resources easily. However, because our game has no graphics, players can only watch the reading bar increase..."

"According to the principle of interaction you mentioned, this is called 'non-effective interaction'. Since it is not necessary, then we can directly remove the content of the reading bar and allow players to obtain resources with one click. This should be better, right?"

Chen Qin thought it was quite nonsensical at the time: "So you are talking about lowering the difficulty of obtaining it? In this case, the value may collapse."

A Yue said: "You click to give one, so that in the early stage you can get a lot of sufficient resources just by clicking, but in the later stage, there are tens of thousands of materials at every turn, and players will not keep clicking, so it should not interfere with us. Numerical balance..."

Chen Qin was stunned when he heard this. This is not that...

"Clickstream?"

"What click stream?" Ah Yue was curious, but she knew that Chen Qin might be talking about an existing genre. "I don't know if there are any other games that use this method."

Chen Qin also came to his senses: "Probably not yet. This is a good idea. Let's change it like this."

If you think about it carefully, you will understand that click streaming is a common gameplay method in casual independent games. It is a small category of business simulation games. Although it is not well-known, it is generally not unfamiliar to working people who like to fish at work.

In the early stage, you can get something by clicking on it, which is simple and mindless but can pass the time.

Later, I saw that something that I clicked on could automatically produce thousands or tens of thousands in one second, which gave me a high sense of accomplishment.

Although the game itself is a model of 'upgrading to a higher level', it is really fun to play...

Hasn’t the original clickstream mini-game appeared yet?

If you think about it carefully, this thing seems to have been brought about by the popular game "Click the Cow" on Facebook. It may not be out yet, but it should be soon.

Just by chance, A Yue somehow came up with this idea. In short, Chen Qin didn't waste any time.

From that day on, I worked hard for three days and one weekend to help A Yue improve the game.

After making the changes, I called a few brothers to test it.

The brother who came to debug it at the beginning was disapproving: "How can this game be played, just dots and dots?"

"It turns out it's just a small game. Speaking of Miss Ah Yue, when will the big fight be released?"

"Hey, I exchanged the food I ordered for a farmer. The farmer only gave me a piece of meat in four seconds. I still have to order it myself."

"It has been upgraded again. There are 20 farmers. One piece of meat per second. It feels almost enough."

"But I've unlocked wood again. The efficiency of farmers digging wood is so low. I only get one tree per minute. I still have to do it myself."

“Wood is also automated.”

"Oh, iron is unlocked again."

"This iron needs someone to forge it before it can be used. I can't do it alone."

"This farmer is so rubbish that he can't even beat iron. I'd better sell the extra resources and hire a strong farmer with fifty gold coins. I don't know what the difference is..."

The brothers who came to play quickly forgot about other things. Seeing how immersed they were in playing this text-only game, Chen Qin felt that it was almost done.

It turns out that the game is called "Code Territory", which looks a bit like a programmer's product, but it has been changed to "Click Territory", which seems to be better than before.

After the change, Chen Qin logged into the official domestic website of the game box as before, and it turned out to be correct - last time he saw that the simple page had a new look, and the homepage was replaced with "Relics Brawl". This was not specifically to please Mr. Chen. What was posted here is that this auto chess game has recently been officially launched. Players are very popular and are already number one on the track.

In addition, "Three Kingdoms Online" has been changed to the Chibi version, "Dandan Tang" of Flash Empire has performed well recently, and the popularity of "Three Kingdoms Online" remains as strong as ever.

Although it seems to be a bit too much, after suddenly changing the layout, mobile platform, web platform, and client games are all mixed together, with no distinction at all.

But it still looks like a serious gaming website.

Chen Qin asked the customer service. Although the customer service didn't know who he was, he was very enthusiastic. When Chen Qin said that I was going to release a free game, the newly transferred department manager called Chen Qin's studio on the spot.

This is not bad, Chen Qin is barely satisfied.

But this is not enough.

I went to the company's media to get some review information for the upcoming news, and sure enough I saw relevant announcements about the drama.

"Game IP adaptation hot: "Xuanyuan Sword" comes after "Sword of Immortality""

"The big-investment fairy tale drama "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of the Sky" has been finalized, and the actor Yu Xiaoxue is attracting attention..."

Chen Qin sneered, what kind of amateur rookie... He started to put aside this promotion before even filming the drama to send warmth to the entertainment company.

And who asked you to occupy so much media resources? Get down here!

So I wrote an email on the spot and sent it to Donews headquarters in the name of Chen Aotian.

Early the next morning, when he arrived in the classroom, Ayue took his mobile phone and said to him: "Look Chen Qin, our game passed the review at three o'clock last night. It was on the news this morning. Someone in the Fota community told me of!"

Chen Qin didn't ask her how she knew she had been tried at three o'clock last night. She pretended to be surprised when she saw a small topic that Duoniu.com had put out overnight——

"What to do when you're bored at work?" An inventory of 10 casual games》

Recently, office workers are playing more and more web games. With the web page open, they can play some relaxing games to relax their mind and combine work and rest...

Today, the editor will take you to take stock of the recent popular Flash games:

1: Three Kingdoms Kill-

Three Kingdoms is a derivative work of Moyou Company's masterpiece "Three Kingdoms Online". At first, it was just a small game in the game...

2: Dantantang-

Dantantang is the masterpiece of the classic web game manufacturer Simmer Empire. Produced by Simmer Empire, it must be a high-quality product! …

……

10: Code Territory
-

Code Territory is a recently released free game. You can develop your own territory and dominate the world with just a click of the mouse. Come and try it!

It can be seen that the editor has never played the game at all, and Ayue's game has no content about fighting for world supremacy.

But in short, the announcement document I saw before has been changed, and it seems that the target has been carefully selected, and various types of mini-games have been put on it, and it happened to be the turn of the mini-game between him and A Yue.

It's a bit sloppy, but these media still seem to know who to listen to.

Chen Qin was very satisfied and took out another piece of paper: "This is indeed pretty good. Let's do some publicity ourselves."

Ah Yue didn't turn around for a while: "How to announce it?"

"Let's write an advertisement and post it in the school's interest corner."

A Yue was stunned: "Is this okay? And if those parents know..."

"You are from the student union, come up with a solution." Chen Qin said, and then said in a sly voice, "As for those old guys, this advertisement is just for them to make them angry!"

As he spoke, he started to draw on the paper and wrote two lines of large characters: "Our game is on the box! A groundbreaking clickstream management game: "Clickland"."

"Enter your name in the galaxy game box and you can play for free!"

A Yue held her forehead, probably feeling that things were a bit beyond expectations.

However, Chen Qin finished writing the things indiscriminately, and then Ah Yue followed him and went to the student union to find a solution.

When school was over, I went downstairs and passed by the 'Interest Corner' on the first floor of the teaching building.

Normally this is a place where no one pays attention to, but today a group of people surrounded it, covering three floors inside and three floors outside.

Before I squeezed in, I heard a group of high school students passing by after school discussing curiously: "Is this what the girl who makes Fota in our school does?"

"Yes, and who is this 'Xiao Chen'?"

"This is also the one doing Fota. I saw it in the task list on the Fota map. They should be in the same class."

"Task list?"

"It's just the credits. Haven't you opened it? The credits for the World of Warcraft map are all written there."

"Oh...then what is this click territory? Is it also a map?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a single-player game..."

"Then we have to go and see..."

A group of high school students went out talking, and Chen Qin finally squeezed in. The small blackboard in the interest corner originally had several students' sketches and poems posted on it. It was something that was posted on it in a dignified manner when it came to inspections by superiors.

But today A Yue put the small promotional poster directly on it.

Not only did it have the big characters written by Chen Qin before, but also some added materials - I don’t know if A Yue drew it himself or asked the senior sister from the student union to help. The two of them traced the edges of his characters and adjusted some artistic effects. It looks like that now...
