I Have Achieved A Lot

The reason why Penguin Games chose the protagonist of “The Strange Man of Mountains and Seas” as the “hero” in its MOBA mobile game is not only because the comic is very well-known, but also has a certain relationship with Meng Fan.

This MOBA mobile game is one of the first e-sports games to join the Asian Games. It was an exhibition event at the 18th Asian Games, but now it is determined to be a competition for the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2202 The project has gone from the exhibition to the main event, which also marks the hope of e-sports entering the Olympics in the near future.

Of course, this has experienced many twists and turns.

The 18th Asian Games was the first time that e-sports appeared on the stage of the Asian Games. It was definitely a carnival for e-sports hobbyists across Asia. Let’s not talk about anything else. During that time E-sports is crazy hot on the bib.

However, just in the carnival and yearning, at the beginning of 19th, the Hangzhou Asian Organizing Committee officially announced the time of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games in 2202 and the 37 competitions that have been determined so far. In the list, there is no silhouette of e-sports!

For e-sports hobbyists, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue!

Fortunately, when the announcement was made at the time, I didn’t say anything to death. I just said “it has been determined” and also mentioned that the Asian Organizing Committee will also follow the project attributes and set-up principles. The Olympic Council and the China Olympic Committee jointly discussed the setting of follow-up projects, at least there is still some hope.

Like the Asian Games in the previous 18 years, e-sports was not announced as a performance event until a few months before the opening of the event. Therefore, some people think that there is no hope until the last minute.

At that time, the domestic and international environment was indeed good for e-sports. For example, the International Olympic Committee identified e-sports as an official sport. For example, Huaxia identified e-sports as a sport. Occupation, in addition, the development of e-sports at home and abroad, including the economic value created and the number of participants, is setting new highs every year.

Of course, there are also more pessimistic ones. There is a saying that the partner of the Hangzhou Asian Games is Ali Sports, and most of the e-sports games are from Penguin, so I think Ali On the one hand, it is impossible to set up a stage for the Penguins to sing. There may be hope for the next Asian Games or even more advanced e-sports events, but this time there is definitely no play.

For e-sports hobbyists, it will be a difficult period before October 20. During this period, there have been some bad news for e-sports entering Asia, such as the German Olympic Committee The chairman pointed out at a meeting that there are bad factors such as discrimination and killing in e-sports, which seriously violates the Olympic spirit. For example, e-sports does not have uniform standards, rules and other issues that are not suitable for medal events. For example…

Fortunately, the situation of e-sports is getting better and better. In addition, there are such as the chairman of the Asian Telecom Association Huo Qigang and the others. In October 20th, the Hangzhou Asian Organizing Committee made the latest Follow-up supplementary events were announced at the press conference, and e-sports as a major event is among them!

Although it is not as early as the e-sports that I said at the beginning will appear as an official event in the Asian Games, it will still be used as a performance event as it was in the last 18 years, but even so, for e-sports hobbyists It is also a carnival, “avoided a catastrophe” carnival.

The insiders in the industry are well aware of the difficulties and dangers of the game. Entering Asia is the prerequisite for entering the Olympics. It is the 1st stage. Although the 2nd Step did not make good progress after the 1st Step stepped out, it is comparable to standing still. It’s much better to step back, and it’s also an improvement to stay in place. Becoming a performance event twice has increased the history of e-sports becoming an official event of the Asian Games, and also added some possibilities for “e-sports entering the Olympics.”

Of course, the road of “e-sports entering the Olympics” is very difficult. In 2003, China began to announce that e-sports became an official sport to e-sports to become a performance item of the Asian Games. This step is enough. It took 15 years, and the next steps will definitely be very difficult. As for how much time it will take, with the advancement of technology and the gradual improvement of e-sports rules and standards, I believe it will not be far away!

By the way, this time entering the 20-year Hangzhou Asian Games, there are still penguin games in the e-sports event, including the idea of ​​setting the male protagonist of “Shanhai Qiren” as a “hero”. In MOBA mobile games, the characters described by the Olympic Hardware King have become “heroes” in the game. Such things that are in line with the current e-sports entry into the Asian environment are of course what Penguin Games really wants to promote.

If, if Meng Fan is willing, they want to use Meng Fan as a prototype to make a game character!

I also mentioned it to Meng Fan, and Meng Fan certainly agreed. Go crazy, if you really want to be made into a game character, you must not die millions of times a day! It has to be analyzed, researched, complained, and so on. The point is not necessary.

The protagonist of “The Wonders of the Mountains and Seas” is still possible, which can also increase the popularity of the comics. In addition, the penguin game gives a lot of money. Although Meng Fan’s opponent game is fairly familiar, and I know that the game has a very strong ability to attract money, it is still a bit unexpected. The first year of the buyout fee is 10 million (a one-time signing for five years, one payment per year, and increasing annually. One million buyout fee) indeed exceeded Meng Fan’s expectations.

With the development of smart phones and mobile communications, the proportion of mobile games in games has become heavier, and the economic value and influence created are naturally increasing, regardless of mobile games MOBA games No matter how despised by traditional e-sports, no one can ignore the development speed of mobile game e-sports.

This cooperation is a win-win situation, so the negotiation went smoothly, and each other proposed some supplementary conditions, such as asking for some platform resources on the Penguin side to prepare for other publicity in the future, game character settings and skins The setting requires Meng Fan’s approval, etc.; Meng Fan needs to participate in at least five activities of the game in five years, including the performance of the professional league finals or awards (the activity fee is paid separately); and so on.

As for sending all heroes, all skins and inscriptions, including any future heroes and skin accounts, this kind of thing is definitely not worth appearing in this office. Zhang Zhouwei, who came here for a walk, just walked. After a dozen, you only need to send the WeChat account or Penguin number to the docking staff when the time comes to bind it at any time.

It didn’t take long to talk about it. Of course, such a big cooperation is impossible to sign the contract on the spot. There are still some details that need to be discussed. Meng Fan also needs professional people including lawyers to be present.

Before the end of Meng Fan here, Wang Yanan had already negotiated with him, and then he went back to Hangzhou directly. He also went to Hangzhou to record the show and complete The production of the final part of Meng Fan’s solo album.
