The sword of online games runs on mountains and rivers

Chapter 465 Semifinals!
The full text of "Sword Dang Bahuang Master Record" is more than [-] words, which is divided into two parts: Song Dynasty and Rome.

As a peripheral IP derivative work, the publication of Swordsman and the Eight Wilds Master Record is undoubtedly a good news for players. Once the book was released, it successfully detonated the book market and became the top seller.

On the first day of release, due to Polaris' lack of preparation, he did not expect this book to be so popular in the market, so the sales volume was not high, only 100 million copies.

But as Polaris realized his mistake and quickly made amends, that is, after printing 1000 million copies, a scene that really shocked the publishing market appeared!

Of the 1000 million copies of "Swordsman Eight Desolation Master Records", excluding the 200 million copies that were used for offline sales in bookstores, the remaining 800 million copies were sold out in just 3 hours after the official website went on sale.

note!

The 1000 million copies of "Swordsman Eight Wilderness Master Records" printed by Polaris are only bilingual in Chinese and English!
Among them, there are no such versions as German, Korean, Japanese, and Arabic!This has dissatisfied players of many small languages, and Polaris' official website once again welcomes the impact.Players have asked Polaris to reprint and withdraw the multilingual version for sale in major markets around the world.

With such an unprecedented event, Polaris can be said to be in pain and happiness.

On the one hand, the success of "Swords and Eight Wilds Master Record" means that their strategic intention of making "Swords and Eight Wilds" into a trendy brand has been realized. If you are happy, you will definitely be happy!

However, the huge demand in the market has made Polaris, a technology company, extremely embarrassed.

We are a technology company!Not a book publishing company!
A technology company, even if it cooperates with the industry giants in the book publishing industry, it is difficult to meet the market demand in a short period of time. Even if the machines in the printing factory are running day and night, they cannot change so much inventory!
The success of Polaris cross-border creating explosive models has stimulated countless companies.

From the booming sales of "Swords and Eight Wilds Master Records", which has no best-selling potential, many companies have seen the future development direction of the new brand "Swords and Eight Wastes".

All of a sudden, various cooperation invitations filled the reception room of Polaris. A well-known international director fell in love with the value of the IP "Swords and Eight Wilds", and planned to cooperate with Polaris to create a super box office masterpiece!
There is a Feizhai happy water company that sees business opportunities, and can't wait to cooperate with Polaris to sign all the star players of S1 and future Jiandang Bahuang, and integrate them into a "Sword Dang Bahuang" series, trying to copy "Sword Dang Bahuang" The explosion of "Master Record".

A small "Sword Swinging Eight Wilds Master Record" has inadvertently leveraged a huge IP derivative industry, and the market value of Polaris has risen upon hearing the news. The market value has risen again, exceeding 2 trillion US dollars!It ranks first among the top ten listed companies with the highest market capitalization in the world, which is more than the combined market capitalization of the 10-[-] companies!

The well-deserved first listed company in human history!

The market value of Polaris has risen, and an announcement was made on the spur of the moment.

The announcement shows that they have reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Warner, and will immediately start producing the film of the same name "Swords and Eight Wilds". The movies are made into a series, and after the annual 1v1 Swordsman is over, the new movies of that year will be released!

Bring a pen!

Polaris was so proud that he invested [-] million US dollars in one go to create the first film of the same name "Swords and Eight Wilds". In the future, according to the progress of the filming, he will invest a similar amount of publicity funds.

The book "Swords and Eight Wilds Master Record" is published, and it is the first movie of the same name to make swords and eight wastes. Do you think this is enough?
It turns out that Polaris' ambitions are much more than that...

The day before the semi-finals of the 3v3 global finals was about to start, Chu Yan received a call from Polaris officials, inviting him to go to the Polaris headquarters after the 3v3 swordsmanship match to discuss the authorization of portrait rights.

Polaris wants to use the portraits of the contestants in each session to create a series of derivative industry chains such as toys, film and television, animation, and books.

The specific cooperation method is still unknown, but Chu Yan's agency entertainment culture helped him find out a little bit of the inside story. It is said that Polaris will formulate different contracts according to the popularity of each player.

If it is a passer-by player like Black Lehman who disappears from the crowd after the sword swing competition, and lacks the support of fame, Polaris will choose to buy out the portrait rights in one go.

If it is Chu Yan or Calm who has achieved or is famous, then their contract is likely to be a "profit cut" model.

For example, Polaris wants to make a batch of dolls for all the players of S1 Swordsman. He may give you two options, one is to buy out the portrait rights for 1000 million, and the other is to share x% of the profits.

The profit sharing may not seem the most reasonable, but if the sales data is not good, then there may not be a high return on buying out the portrait rights.

This cooperation is currently still in the development stage. Chu Yan also needs to get the plan report from Polaris before he can make a decision on how to deal with the portrait rights.

Don't worry about making money. Chu Yan is not a short-sighted person, and will not be disrupted by this sudden news. His current task is to prepare for the next day's competition.

……

The Tainian VS Skywalker match was the second semi-final match of the day.

The result of the first semi-final has come out, Shinhwa 3:0 Sansang, Shinhwa became the first team in the world to advance to the final.

The semi-finals were quite thrilling.

Don't look at Shinhwa's 3:0 victory over Sansang, but in fact there were two rounds in the middle of the game and they almost overturned.

The e-sports atmosphere in Hanbok is unique in the world, not to mention the Sansang team, which is backed by super chaebols and has recruited many super players in Hanbok.

In the first game, the two sides played back and forth at the beginning, and Sansang also learned the strategy of "clearly repairing the plank road and secretly covering Chen Cang".

But how can York be so good?At any rate, he is the third runner-up in the European server. Although the third runner-up has no pictures, he can't be bullied by anyone, okay?
Sansang paid the price for his reckless actions. After sacrificing Taibai in the team, Zhenwu Liyuan in Sansang's team covered York, and cooperated with Tianxiang to beat him into residual blood.That wave was definitely a good time for Sansang to turn the tables. York did not have the Eagle Raise Art. Blood skills can throw him to death.

However, Yorke's spiritual back jump refreshed the back jump, so that Sansang's true martial arts could not fill him with Dao Sheng's remaining blood, and he was eventually covered by the rushing Mr. Pickup and rolled away from the abyss, winning the game in one fell swoop.
