game trailblazer

Chapter 207
Holding a notepad, Wang Mengyao introduced the latest hot issues in China to Zhang Lexing: "...Since the "Tianjin Morning News" got involved in this matter, it has attracted many news media. Later, the "Four Gentlemen" incident even appeared on CCTV's "Focus" Interview", this matter can be said to have become a recent hot topic..."

"Oh," Zhang Lexing nodded, recalling some things about the glorious "Four Gentlemen". Speaking of which, this matter is definitely a good thing for the domestic game industry. At least after experiencing this incident, players The desire to buy domestic games is absolutely unprecedented. Even some people who are not interested in domestic games may try it because of this.

It's a pity that in the time Zhang Lexing experienced, domestic game companies didn't make good use of this golden opportunity, and of course it can't be said that they didn't take advantage of it at all. Many companies focus on money, only thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity to get players’ pockets, but not how to make the game better. What a treat.

Now that Zhang Lexing has another opportunity to repeat the experience, of course he will not miss it easily, but he has to make good use of this opportunity to let the domestic game industry develop a big step forward.I think so, but this matter can't be done overnight, and it needs to be planned carefully.

Seeing Wang Mengyao who was still reporting, Zhang Lexing interrupted her and said, "Mengyao, what do you think of the 'Four Gentlemen' incident, and what kind of impact do you think it will have?"

"Well..." Wang Mengyao pondered for a while, and replied: "Of course such a thing should be supported. I think as long as you are a Chinese, you will definitely think so. As for the influence, I think there may be several aspects. The first First, the future game censorship system may be stricter because of this. Maybe many people did not notice the impact of the game before. After this incident, I believe no one will ignore it; Domestic game companies are an opportunity for development, and the country is likely to support the game industry because of this, and may introduce some corresponding incentive policies. Even if it is purely from the market, this event can also be a propaganda banner for game promotion; third, this It is also an opportunity to promote some companies to go overseas. Since you are worried that your country’s culture will be misinterpreted by others, the best way is to take the initiative to promote your own culture. Boss, that’s all I can think of for the time being.”

Zhang Lexing nodded in satisfaction. Wang Mengyao has made rapid progress over the years. From an ignorant girl who knew little about games at the beginning, after years of training and learning, especially after joining Dongfang Holdings, her horizons have broadened. The understanding of the matter has also deepened. If it was a few years ago, she would not be able to say such a thing at all. It seems that she may be able to take on more important responsibilities in the future.

Zhang Lexing is still very satisfied with what Wang Mengyao said, and that's pretty much what he thought of, but he has already begun to think about how to take advantage of this opportunity, such as blowing the wind with Zhao Haiguang, and taking advantage of everyone's understanding of culture and history. Misunderstood concerns have promoted the introduction of some policies that are conducive to the development of the domestic game industry.Of course, Zhang Lexing is still considering how to operate. Although the ultimate goal must be achieved, he should not act too hastily, so as not to arouse the resentment of the above, but the first thing to do now is naturally to heat up the fire a bit.Zhang Lexing hopes to take this opportunity to let everyone have a deeper understanding of the game, and to understand how influential the game is, and Zhao Haiguang is the right person to do this.Zhang Lexing intends to ask Zhao Haiguang to find someone to take action in the media, just like last year's big discussion about games, to start discussions about games again, and discuss how to reflect our culture in a more positive way through games from a more professional perspective and history.

At the same time, BJ Haidian District...

Chen Jingyi sat in the meeting room of Fengyun Interactive, looked at the other employees sitting around the round table, and said seriously: "Just now Manager Zhao proposed to revise the summer game promotion strategy. I think the reason she said is very good. The hottest thing right now is What, isn't it the glorious 'Four Gentlemen' incident, and our "True Heroes" happens to be a game with the Anti-Japanese War as the background, how can we let go of such a perfect match."

As she said that, Chen Jingyi turned her eyes to Zhao Chang, the marketing manager sitting on her right, and said to her, "Manager Zhao, you should immediately re-draw up a new publicity plan, and it will be almost two weeks before the official start of the summer vacation. Hurry up on your work."

"Yes, Mr. Chen, even if we don't rest tonight, we have to come up with a plan." Zhao Chang nodded solemnly.

Chen Jingyi turned to Qin Wencai, the sales manager who was sitting on her left, and explained: "Manager Qin, you have to pay close attention to the work on the channel side, and make sure that you can get the goods you need before the sales start. Wait for Manager Zhao. When the new promotional materials come out, you have to help distribute them to the channels, and you must be sure that there is nothing wrong with it, so that you can grab the sales in the first few weeks."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, the people in our sales department have already prepared and are just waiting to do a big job." Qin Wencai hurriedly agreed, with an expression that almost made her promise.

Chen Jingyi turned her gaze to Lin Musen who was sitting across from her, and said, "Manager Lin, Fengyun Game Club on your side should also cooperate, your journal will be released soon, don't forget to add a little bit of our game promotion color Go to the page. In addition, at the club event at the end of this month, you can display the latest trial play, and by the way, you can also hold a prize-winning reservation event."

"Hey, Mr. Chen, don't worry, we didn't actively cooperate that time. In fact, we have already started pre-ordering, and the quality of the company's games has long been recognized by the players. Now they are active, and there is a new game It’s going public, without us saying anything, they called first.” Lin Musen said proudly.

"Don't be too careless. The boss said that the players are our gods and our parents. Without the support of the players, no matter how many tricks you make, it will be nothing. Everyone should cheer up and do a good job in the work at hand. , to give back to every user with the highest quality service." Chen Jingyi explained again carefully that although the development of Fengyun Interactive has been going smoothly, she did not dare to be careless, whenever she saw the copy in her office For the letter of appointment, she felt that she had a responsibility to do a good job of Fengyun Interactive, or else she would be sorry for the boss's unreserved trust in her.

It was also BJ, at a place where subway line 13 passed, several people were sitting around the office on the third floor, having a heated discussion.

"Boss, our "Blood on the Iron Knight" and "Genghis Khan" are both on the market. Do you have some new projects?" A young man wearing glasses and a short-sleeved shirt asked while looking at a man wearing a beret .

A woman next to her with shawl and long hair and wearing a blue print dress on a white background also asked, "Boss, what project are we going to take on next? Is it military?"

The man in the beret nodded and said, "Yes, we also make military games. I think everyone will be interested in military games, so we will take this opportunity to make patriotic military games."

"Patriotic military game?" Another man with glasses who looked older asked puzzledly.

"Yes, we are not only going to make a military game, but also link it with patriotism. I already have a few good ideas, please take a look at the draft I wrote. Wang Yan, if you read it, please give us more comments. " said the man in the beret, taking out a few pages of paper and handing them out to everyone.

The woman in the blue printed dress with a white background took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help but read aloud: ""Opium War", the player will play a new imperial examination candidate in the late Qing Dynasty and come to the capital. After lobbying by many ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, Xiangguo Mansion, House of Internal Affairs, Dali Temple, and Hubu Yamen, the main war faction and the main peace faction won military expenses, dispatched troops, and went to the key ports on the southeast coast to deploy coastal defense and command anti-British forces. fight..."

"I believe that many people are very unhappy with the outcome of the Opium War, so I want to give everyone a chance to start again in the game, which can definitely be linked to patriotism. In addition, there is no such flight simulation in China. Game, I think we can try it." The man in the beret explained.

"Boss, isn't "August [-]st Fighting Eagle" a bit too difficult? We've never made this type of game before." The young man with glasses in a short-sleeved shirt asked a little less confidently.

"It's okay, anyone is born to be able to do everything. Anyway, no one in China has done this type of game. We can just take the first place. At worst, we can treat it as practice." The man in the beret waved his hand and said: "These few I have already solicited the above opinions on the project, and the leaders are very supportive of the development of these games. Next, I will divide the tasks. Wang Yan, you are in charge of improving the planning part... Sun Tianqiang, you are in charge of leading the program group... Zhuang Yan, you can do it first on the art side Some preparatory work...Ganlin Music, you should think about it slowly, don't worry..."

After assigning their respective tasks, the man in the beret specifically confessed: "In the past, others laughed at what we Jinpan Electronics made was not a game. This time, everyone must work hard. Our Redbud Multimedia Creation Team must make a comeback this time. battle."

Still in BJ, still in Haidian District, a young man with a notebook came out from a software store. While recording the news he just heard through the conversation in his notebook, he walked towards the shade next to him .Several people were already standing there waiting under the shade of the tree. As soon as the young man arrived, a woman in a dress approached him and said, "Wu Gang, how is your investigation going?"

The young man named Wu Gang shook his head and said, "There are not many serious electronic publications at all, at most they are a hodgepodge with some pictures and text added, which is made by a company called Yulefang. It's not bad, but basically no one buys it. It seems that if you want to make electronic publications, it may not be possible for the time being, and there is no market. By the way, Cheng Xue, where are you?"

Cheng Xue and several other people also shook their heads in unison. They didn't gain anything, and they can't say that they didn't gain anything. At least they can be sure of one thing. At present, domestic electronic publications have not yet developed, and the market has not yet developed. Mature.

Wu Gang's face darkened for a while, but then brightened again: "But I just made another discovery."

"Oh, what a discovery. Seeing how happy you are, it's probably good news." Cheng Xue looked at Wu Gang with anticipation on her face.

With a confident smile on Wu Gang's face, he talked eloquently: "I asked several places, and found that game software is the best seller now. After many families bought a computer, the only familiar function was to play games. I heard from people in the store that Fengyun Interactive, the most popular game company right now, can make millions or even tens of millions of dollars from a single game, and the game software is definitely a hit.”

"Wu Gang, I believe in you, and I also believe that you can persuade Mr. Shen to support your idea." Cheng Xue looked at Wu Gang, a blush suddenly flashed across her face.

Wu Gang, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, didn't notice the change in Cheng Xue's face. In fact, he was full of confidence in persuading Mr. Shen, and he even started to think about the question of "what kind of game is good"...

At this time in all parts of the country, there are quite a few people like Wu Gang who plan to enter the game industry. Although the incident of the glorious "Four Gentlemen" is said to involve the issue of national sentiment, it is an opportunity to open a new window for some people. , they discovered for the first time that there is such a thing as game software in the world. It turns out that game software is not a toy specially for children. People with various banners, but in essence, just for making money began to get involved in the game development industry.

These people are new players in the game industry. They don’t understand game development, but there is a saying that many people may have heard, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand an industry, you can ask experts for advice”, so many new game players They all set their sights on those pioneers and the only training institution, Fengyun Game Academy.As a result, the graduates of Fengyun Game Academy this year became popular. Many students who were not admitted to the creative workshop fell into the hands of these game newcomers, and began to face the first formal game development work in their lives. The domestic game industry seems to have become prosperous overnight.
