City: Become a principal from junior college!

Before "Evolving Mountains and Seas" was launched, Pei Qian and his classmates once shouted slogans to kill the penguins.

But no one took it seriously.

After all, Penguin is not just China, it is also the game company with the highest market value in the world.

How could such a giant be killed because of a game?

But on the day "Evolving Mountains and Seas" was launched, Penguin's market value plummeted.

At first, everyone just thought it was a normal stock market fluctuation, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.

But in the month since "Evolution Mountains and Seas" was launched, Penguin's market value has been falling, although it doesn't look like it has dropped much on a daily basis.

But when a month passed.

Penguin's market value directly evaporated by 30 billion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to more than 200 billion yuan in RMB.

Almost one-tenth of the market value.

The external capital market has also provided explanations for this.

All because of the decline in popularity of Penguin games.

For leading mobile games and PC games, the peak number of online users has plummeted this month, and some have even dropped by 30%.

The game sales and rankings have dropped month-on-month.

In the past, when entering an Internet cafe, players would basically play Penguin-based games.

What about LOL, Teamfight Tactics, DNF, CF and so on.

But nowadays, there are many more people who use computers to play "Evolution of Mountains and Seas".

In the student group, a large number of players who used to play "Honor of Kings" unknowingly shifted the focus of discussion to "Evolution of Mountains and Seas".

The quality of Penguin's games has never been top-notch.

But Penguin relies on the huge number of users brought by communication software to give the game a social attribute.

Players have a herd mentality, because everyone around them is playing, so there are not a few players who follow along.

But now, "Evolution Mountain and Sea" relies on its top game quality and huge number of users to offset the biggest advantage of Penguin Games and crowd out the original ecosystem of King Pesticide.

Secondly, there are also many investors who believe that "Evolution Mountain and Sea"'s restraint on krypton gold will affect the development of the global mobile game industry.

The traditional mobile game industry will design various krypton gold points.

Even in competitive mobile games like King Pesticide, Penguin will launch skins with added attributes in order to make money.

But "Evolving Mountains and Seas" is different. Its restraint in krypton gold will inevitably lead to players' aversion to the heavy krypton mode.

Players are the foundation of the gaming industry, and all games must change based on changes in players.

A large number of players have begun to reject heavy Krypton, which will affect the entire gaming industry.

In the future, the overall revenue of the gaming industry may not increase but decrease.

Many game companies have realized this and hate Star Game Company deeply, believing that Star Game Company is ruining the entire industry.

But no matter how much they hate and hate Star Games Company.

None of them will help the current situation.

The entire capital circle is somewhat pessimistic about the future development of the mobile game industry.

Without being able to fully predict how much change Xingchen Game Company will bring to the mobile game industry, they have tightened their investment in the game industry.

Those who have shares in mobile game companies have also begun to sell them in advance.

The combination of various factors caused Penguin Games' stock price to plummet by 10% in January.

But Penguin is fine.

After all, the market is basically stable.

Other game companies fell even more sharply.

The Xingchen students shouted to kill Penguin.

But in fact, the butcher's knife was swung at the entire gaming industry...

……

Bosses in the entire gaming industry will obviously be cursing during the Chinese New Year this year.

Although "Evolution Mountain and Sea" was only launched in mid-January, they have already made a lot of money for a year, but the mobile game market next year will definitely usher in a cold winter.

But the players are extremely happy about it.

Because since the launch of "Evolution Mountain and Sea", they have felt that other games have become more and more comfortable to play, and the strength of monsters has dropped. It is no longer like before, and they can't even beat a mob without paying money.

Game companies are not as desperate for money as they used to be.

If nothing happens, some benefits will be given out, which will make the players enjoy it.

However, there are also those who give up because there are fewer players, so they simply harvest the remaining players even more harshly.

However, such an operation only speeds up the withdrawal of the remaining players.

And in Star Academy.

Ye Chen stretched leisurely.

The college is on holiday.

As for "Evolution of Mountains and Seas", the market value of major listed mobile game companies has plummeted, and it has even had adverse effects on the development of the entire mobile game market.

Ye Chen didn't feel any guilt at all, and was even happy to see the result.

The mobile game market is long overdue for a change.

In the past, if you changed the skin, piled up a bunch of values, and produced two female characters with less clothing, you could easily earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Not many companies think about how to make games well.

They all just think about how to design payment points, how to make it uncomfortable for players who don’t spend money, and force them to top up.

If the mobile game market like this falls, it will fall.

If a group of mobile game companies like this die, a new batch of excellent mobile games focusing on creativity, plot, and experience will naturally emerge.

Give players a better experience.

This is a good thing for the entire game market.

However, "Evolution of Mountains and Seas" was so popular that even Ye Chen had not expected it before.

But the teachers at the college made an analysis.

"Evolution of Mountains and Seas" has become so popular that no one has ever seen it before.

First, relying on the fame and reputation of Star Academy, it has attracted a large number of players.

The second is to rely on the popularity of Pokémon.

Yes, as the most popular pet IP, Pokémon has hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

But Pokémon has so many fans, fans will buy into whatever the game is made.

Therefore, I have been unwilling to make progress, fooling players in various ways, and not meeting the needs of players at all.

This led to this group of dissatisfied fans being attracted to "Evolution Mountain and Sea".

And the Pokémon production company is now panicking...

Not long after the launch of "Evolve Mountains and Seas", a hasty announcement was made, overturning the stalemate that was originally under development, and announcing that a large amount of money and personnel would be invested in re-developing a Pokémon game.

Want to regain the love of fans. But we are anxious now. It will take at least one or two years before it is developed.

If it is released by then, fans won’t know how long it has been taken away from them, so what’s the point of using it?
The third reason why "Evolution Mountain and Sea" is so popular is the restraint on krypton gold.

Just buy skins and occasionally draw a box.

Even if a box is drawn, the odds are not adjusted secretly, and junk skins are not stuffed into the prize pool to fool players.

Such conscientious operation will undoubtedly make the reputation of "Evolution Mountain and Sea" even more explosive.

Therefore, even "Evolving Mountains and Seas" has various minor problems. It is not perfect, and the numerical values ​​are not balanced enough and need to be improved.

But it still made "Evolution Mountain and Sea" popular to an incredible extent.

According to the predictions of the teachers, as long as "Evolution Mountain and Sea" continues to operate, updates will be stable.

One or two new pets are guaranteed to be updated every month.

At the same time, new content and new gameplay are constantly updated, which can continue to bring more game content to players.

Then "Evolution Mountain and Sea" can be stable for at least five years.

The income after that may be difficult to match the first month.

But it is definitely not difficult to make a stable monthly income of one billion US dollars.

Even excluding the share for students, there is still tax revenue.

In the end, the remaining annual profit is at least 40 billion.

It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that this is definitely the most profitable game in the history of gaming.

This income undoubtedly surprised Ye Chen.

I also have a growing appreciation for the students who led this project.

"Despite the name Pei Qian, he not only doesn't lose money, but actually makes money."

"And mobile games are indeed the most profitable project today."

Nowadays, the rise of mobile games is a general trend.

Because many people may not have computers and don't need computers.

But basically everyone has a cell phone.

The inherently huge audience gives mobile games a unique advantage.

If Pei Qian chose to make computer games from the beginning.

Evolution Shanhai may still be popular.

But the popularity, discussion, and income will definitely not reach this level.

This also proves the excellent vision of Pei Qian, a student.

"Have the bonuses been distributed to the students?"

Ye Chen asked.

Hearing this, the person in charge of the game company in front of him smiled and nodded: "Sent in advance!"

"The minimum number of students participating in the game production team is almost one million."

"Students participating in the animation major have similar incomes."

"This year, many students majoring in animation have confirmed that they will come to game companies to do art internships during their internships."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Chen opened the large entertainment industry for this purpose.

Provide students with more job options.

Now it seems that everything is going well.

Of course, Ye Chen’s biggest expectation for the entertainment industry is actually cultural communication.

The cultural communication effect and influence of Evolved Mountain and Sea are even higher than those of the previous Sleeping Immortal.

Because since "Evolution Mountain and Sea" became popular.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, which had little sales in China, became popular all over the country.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas in various translations appears in the best places in bookstores in various countries.

The sales volume is even more impressive.

This will undoubtedly be of great help to the spread of Chinese traditional culture.

At the same time, "Evolution Mountain and Sea" is restrained in terms of krypton gold.

It has also allowed Star Academy to receive praise and recognition from countless players around the world.

Helped Star Academy gain a good reputation.

Ye Chen could only sigh with emotion.

The gaming industry is worthy of being called the ninth art.

In the new era, the influence of games on cultural communication is no less than that of film and television works.

Compared with the treatment of film and television works that are vigilant and strictly censored.

It is undoubtedly more convenient to spread culture through games.

In recent years, Star Academy's films and TV shows have actually been censored in various countries, and some have been deleted.

Even in a beautiful country known for its freedom.

Even because the influence of Star Academy is getting higher and higher, the scrutiny it faces now is becoming more and more strict.

However, because Xingchen Academy has enough partners overseas, the interests that can be affected are sufficient.

Therefore, the film can still be released normally for the time being, but occasionally it cannot get a good schedule.

Therefore, it is impossible to successfully achieve simultaneous global release.

It is conceivable that there will be more and more scrutiny and requirements in the future.

For example, the beautiful country has privately informed Star Academy through some partners.

If the "Sleeper" live-action movie wants to be released in the beautiful North American market, it must add white characters.

And it must be a positive character, with sexual tension, and a key influence on the advancement of the plot.

In this regard, Xingchen Academy did not refuse.

After all, the North American market, as the world's largest ticket warehouse, can still make a lot of money.

Besides, it’s not troublesome to add a white positive character.

Design a resurrected character of a Western god, who serves as the comic relief of the protagonist group. His character is unreliable, but in the end, under the wise leadership of the Chinese protagonist, he dedicates himself to the protagonist...

As for the beauties in the play, the show-off part is naturally the protagonist's.

The white supporting character is adequate as a foil.

In the beautiful country, many white protagonists in Hollywood movies have a black character like this next to him. He finally dedicates himself to the protagonist and touches the audience...

This is essentially a kind of subtle brainwashing to make you understand your status.

Star Academy can naturally learn from others. If you want a white character, then I will give you a white character... (End of this chapter)
