In this life, we don’t even talk about love dogs.

Chapter 570 Are you good at photography? (4000 words, -in-)

At the end of September, the hot summer is gradually passing and it is the time of cool and refreshing autumn.

October in Hangzhou is neither too hot nor too cold, the temperature is just right.

That is to say, during the holidays, King of Glory will be launched.

Mihuyou specially chose such a good day as the beginning of October, hoping that it would be a good omen for King of Glory.

In the past few days, Mihuyou has stepped up its efforts to promote King of Glory, but Ye Ge’s promotional method is not the kind of spending money indiscriminately without any reason.

Throwing money around will only waste your funds.

Besides, Mihuyou doesn’t have that much money to spend now.

In fact, when you over-promote, people will only feel disgust and aversion towards you.

When it comes to promoting this kind of thing, it’s best to know when to stop.

People who are interested will naturally click on it. As for those who are not interested, the more you promote it, the more resistance they will have.

Originally, people have neither good nor bad feelings towards you.

In the end, people might even turn against you because of your constant publicity.

When you see any video about King of Glory, I'm afraid you will spit at you.

In previous lives, there were many games that were living examples of this.

There are many games that have spent so much money on promotion, and these games can be seen in various software. Even if you just click on it lightly, and you haven’t confirmed the download of this game, it will be downloaded directly to you.

However, this kind of game often finds it difficult to achieve good development in the end.

Even when you don't make good progress, you will become a laughing stock, for example, if your R&D expenses are 1 billion, but your publicity expenses account for 990 million.

Mihuyou’s main base for promoting King of Glory is still Bilibili.

First, Ye Ge talked to some UP hosts in the gaming area, allowing them to try out the game, and said some good things, pretending that these UP hosts did not receive any money.

This routine is actually very common after a few years.

Especially after 20 years.

Basically, many game manufacturers will use this method to form tap water, using the fans of the up master to drive the fans of the game.

But now the Internet is just beginning, and mobile games are just starting out, so Ye Ge’s method is still rare.

Even if others knew that the UP host might have received money, they would not say anything, because the content they produced is indeed quite interesting.

This is in terms of game content.

In addition, there are many charming female characters in King of Glory.

So Ye Ge invited some up-loaders and some Cosers from the dance section of Bilibili to create some characters from King of Glory, specifically to attract male players.

In fact, it’s not just male gamers.

Women are actually quite sensual too. They are actually interested in some good-looking and sexy COS.

When the characters in King of Glory appear in front of everyone, if someone is interested, they will become aware of this game through these characters.

Generally speaking, most people still choose to go and play.

You know what, this method is really effective.

Players who come in from the dance area and cosplayer area to make reservations for the game account for 30% of the total number of players.

However, many people do have a natural resistance to this game.

After all, this is a game that follows the trend of League of Legends, and it is played on mobile phones, so this game is jokingly called "rubbing glass"...

In addition, some peers also attacked Mihoyo's game.

If his colleagues were just pointing out the shortcomings of this game in a normal way, Ye Ge would not mind.

After all, which game is without flaws?

If you are a person who allows others to say nothing about you and only receives positive reviews, then there is definitely something wrong.

Moreover, accepting criticism appropriately can leave a good impression in the minds of players.

However, some media outlets that reviewed the game actually exaggerated and deliberately smeared the game, and Ye Ge couldn't stand it.

Ye Ge could only retaliate in his own way.

Whose game is perfect?

You find some flaws in my game, so why can't I find any flaws in your game?
Of course, there are quite a few companies like this, mainly because the boss behind Mihoyo is also the boss of Bilibili.

Bilibili has now become the largest two-dimensional video platform in China.

Not only is it the largest two-dimensional platform, Bilibili has become one of the websites with the largest traffic, and is even heading for the number one position.

You should know that in addition to the two-dimensional world, Bilibili also has a game area, a live broadcast area, a knowledge area, etc.

Various up hosts support a large video library.

Moreover, Bilibili’s incentive plan has injected a lot of vitality into each UP.

With the incentives from Bilibili, every UP has a strong subjective initiative and is not just doing it for love.

With so much high-quality content as support.

It can be said that even if you are not interested in the two-dimensional world, you might still download Bilibili.

Furthermore, games are mostly aimed at young people.

For many game companies, they will definitely not be able to avoid Bilibili when promoting their games in the future.

Therefore, most people are still unwilling to offend Mihoyo.

Not to mention that in the eyes of most people, the backer behind Mihuyou is still Xuetang Group.

Mihuyou's boss Ye Ge and Xuetang Group's daughter Tang Zhiyan are entangled in an affair, which has caused a sensation on the Internet.

Generally speaking, when it comes to this kind of scandal, Xuetang Group will definitely issue a statement, and even hold the other party accountable for the legal liability.

As a result, Xuetang Group did not clarify this matter.

The fact that Xuetang Group has not clarified this matter speaks volumes.

This means that the two people may really have some relationship!
In addition to Xuetang Group, Penguin has already invested in Bilibili and become one of its major shareholders.

Well, Penguin wanted to invest in Mihoyo several times, but was politely rejected by Ye Ge every time.

This is not to say that Ye Ge does not believe in Penguin. In fact, in a sense, Penguin Investment can be regarded as the conscience of the industry.

Generally speaking, Penguin will only invest money in you, and as long as you don't have any major problems, Penguin will not interfere in your operations at all.

Moreover, the resources behind Penguin are huge and can provide a lot of help.

Therefore, generally speaking, few people would reject Penguin's investment. The main reason is that Mihuyou's piece of cake will get bigger and bigger, and Ye Ge believes that the games he makes in the future will be more popular than the last.

So if Mihuyou's shares are divided now, won't the money I earn be even less?

So now Ye Ge is like a scumbag, always keeping Penguin hanging, neither refusing nor accepting.

In fact, Ye Ge was thinking of setting up a subsidiary company at that time.

Then this subsidiary specializes in developing large-scale 3A games.

If Penguin wants to invest at that time, I will not refuse. After all, Penguin has more than just funds.

Penguin is very adept at optimizing games.

And in 5, Unreal Engine came out. Few people could play it well, but Penguin could.

Of course, as to whether or not to wait until Unreal Engine 5 comes out before making Black Myth, that has not yet been determined.

The main reason is that Unreal Engine 5 has taken too long to come out, and I can’t wait until 2016 or 2017, when there will be other engines to use.

"Ye Ge, what do you think of me?"

Three days before the public beta of King of Glory, Yuan Guoxue placed the documents in his hand on Ye Ge's desk and looked at Ye Ge.

Ye Ge was stunned for a moment, looking at the naive person in front of him: "What do you mean by 'what do you think of you'?"

"Just what do you think of me?"

Yuan Guoxue put her hands on her hips, raised her chin proudly, and even turned around with a "dangdangdang" sound.

Ye Ge suddenly realized: "Oh, your new clothes are very good, they suit you very well, you have good taste, they look very good."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Yuan Guoxue pouted. "Besides, I wore this outfit last week. What I'm talking about is what do you think of me as a person?"

Ye Ge: "."

Ye Ge didn't know what was going on in Yuan Guoxue's brain.

But Ye Ge thought about it and praised her seriously, "I think you are a very good girl. You are beautiful, have a good figure, a good personality, and strong working ability. Moreover, your children will never go hungry in the future. No matter who marries you, it is definitely a blessing from the previous life."

"Who told you to say that?" Yuan Guoxue blushed and glared at Ye Ge.

"Then what did you say?" Ye Ge was helpless. Didn't you ask me?
Yuan Guoxue pouted and said, "I mean, you asked so many cosplayers to create characters for the game King of Glory, why didn't you invite me? Do you look down on me? I'm also an old coser, okay!"

As he spoke, Yuan Guoxue groaned and inserted his hands.

"..." Ye Ge was speechless, "Is it because of this?"

"Hey! What do you mean 'just because of this'? I really care about it!"

"Okay, okay." Ye Ge waved his hand, not knowing why he should care about such a thing. "It's mainly because you're too busy with work. How can I bother you to COS again?"

"This is different!"

Someone went over, put his hands on the table, and leaned over to look at Ye Ge.

Ye Ge raised his head and saw the snow-white canyon.

If it were in the past, Ye Ge would have retracted his gaze.

But now Ye Ge was watching without any scruples.

"What's different?"

Ye Ge took a sip of water, his eyes serious.

"COS is not a job for me, but a hobby. It is a way for me to relax when I do COS. But I haven't done COS for a long time.

I think there are many characters in our new game that are suitable for me, such as Ji Xiaoman.

I think my COS must be better than others! ”

"Okay then." Ye Ge nodded, "Then I'll find a few makeup artists and female photographers, and then you can play one or two roles. Remember, the role you choose can't be too revealing."

"What? Will you be jealous if someone else sees me?" Yuan Guoxue looked at Ye Ge with a wicked smile, and felt that Ye Ge was still somewhat cute when he was jealous.

"Of course." Ye Ge nodded seriously. "You are my secretary. How could I let others see you? Only I can see you."

"What are you talking about? I'm not your girlfriend..."

Originally, she wanted to tease Ye Ge, but she didn't expect Ye Ge to be so straightforward. Yuan Guoxue blushed all the way to her ears.

Yuan Guoxue stretched out her hand and tucked the hair behind her ear: "But since you said so, I will COS some clothes with more clothes. Don't worry, no one can take advantage of me."

Ye Ge believed what Yuan Guoxue said.

In fact, even when Yuan Guoxue does COS, she never does those with less fabric.

Even if Yuan Guoxue would produce some COS with less fabric, this kind of COS is basically worn at home.

In the past, Yuan Guoxue COSed characters with less fabric, such as Ikaros, only at home for herself.

Simply put, it's just for your own enjoyment.

But after meeting Ye Ge, Yuan Guoxue showed all the COS to Ye Ge, such as in the office.

Yuan Guoxue often locked the door and then started changing clothes.

It was from that time on that Ye Ge always had a headache and had to hold a cup of herbal tea in his hand every day, otherwise he would not be able to control his temper.

And even when choosing a photographer, Yuan Guoxue would basically choose a female photographer and would never choose a male one.

I heard from Yuan Guoxue that she used to have a personal female photographer who always asked her to take photos for her.

"By the way, my friend who often takes photos for me is too far away from me. In the past, she could take photos for me, but now, she is attending university in Linhai, so you have to promise me one thing."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ye Ge asked.

"Then you will be my photographer~" Yuan Guoxue said with a smile, "How about it? Do you agree?"

"Of course I have no problem, but how do you know that I'm good at photography?"

Ye Ge did learn some photography. That was because in his first life, Yan Cici liked taking photos, so Ye Ge specifically learned some photography to help Yan Cici produce photos.

In the second life, Zhiyan also liked taking photos, so Ye Ge signed up for a photography class and went to study further.

In Ye Ge's opinion, his photography skills cannot be said to be at a professional level, but they are top-notch among amateurs. Even several years later, when Ye Ge went to a comic convention with a 30,000 yuan SLR camera, girls surrounded him.

"You are good at photography? Is that true?" Yuan Guoxue blinked.

Ye Ge smiled and said, "You don't know if my photography skills are good or not, so let me take a picture for you."

"Humph, so what." Yuan Guoxue crossed her arms and raised her chin, "I am naturally beautiful. Even if you take a bad picture, I am still pretty."

"Okay, that's it." Yuan Guoxue took the documents and left. "I'll pick a place tomorrow. You'll be on standby at any time!"
