An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 351 How much money do you plan to pay?

It happened too suddenly.

Wang Fa did not expect that Chenghai 3C, which had already reached the top of the creative workshop, would be replaced by a new map that turned out to be the top of the list. Although there are still many players playing this map, more and more people have turned their attention to the new map.

If that's all it is.

Although the popularity has dropped, at most it is not as expected, and overall it is quite impressive. However, the terrible thing is that since the launch of DOTA, Chenghai 3C has not updated the map for a long time.

Stopping the update of the map means that there is nothing new, and without new things, the heat of the stock will continue to be lost. Wang Fa was even more anxious than the creator of the map, wishing he could take the account and update it for him.

Finally unable to sit still, he sent a private message on the site to the account of hao12345.

[Hi, is this the map creator of Chenghai 3C? 】

When he first saw this news, Hao Yun was testing the balance of DOTA's indie game version, so he didn't take it too seriously, so he just replied "yes" casually.

However, the message sent from the opposite side immediately made him startled, and his busy hands stopped.

[Please allow me to introduce myself, I am the person in charge of the 3C project under Rice Entertainment. After studying the map you designed, we are very interested in your proposed three-corridor gameplay and its design concept, so we made an independent online confrontation game. As a tribute to your creativity, we intend to name this game Chenghai League. 】

[If you are willing to authorize our new works and cooperate with our publicity work, we are willing to pay you a considerable amount of authorization fees. 】

[I don't know what you think? 】

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning in the words is already obvious.

If you are sensible and authorize us, we can give you some money for your help in promotion. It doesn't matter if you don't plan to cooperate, anyway, the game has already been made, and it will definitely go online as scheduled.

As for infringement or something, there is no such thing at all.

Although the gameplay is similar, in the end your Chenghai 3C is just a map on Warcraft, while ours is an independent game released through a formal process.

Both are not the same type of thing, how can we talk about plagiarism?

It is far-fetched to say that it is a reference!

However, what surprised Hao Yun was not the other party's shamelessness, but that the other party was not only shameless, but also had the cheek to come to him.

Looking at the strange expression on the computer, he is not even sure now, whether this guy really doesn't know or not, this "hao12345" is his account.

"It shouldn't be..."

"Even if it wasn't popular at that time, shouldn't it be common sense for Warcraft players?"

Although all the media at that time were reporting on the five million prize money and the players who had won the championship, he remembered that some media should have interviewed him at that time.

Besides, even if there is no interview, for players who know the game of Warcraft, it should be known that hao12345 is their vest, right?

Out of curiosity, Hao Yun couldn't help asking.

[How much authorization fee are you going to give me? 】

Seeing this reply private message, Wang Fa was overjoyed, thinking that hao12345 was moved, so he quickly sent a message.

[The specific figure will not be given until we have a meeting to study it, but I can assure you that the authorization fee will not be less than 500,000. 】

Five hundred thousand is okay...

Hao Yun held back his laughter.

If it was a year ago, he might have agreed without saying a word.

As for now...

Even adding a zero to this number would make him feel less.

Finally couldn't bear it anymore, Hao Yun, who couldn't bear to see his friends continue to embarrass him, sent a message.

【Do you know who I am? 】

Seeing this news, Wang, who was sitting in front of the computer, was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what the map creator meant.

However, in line with the principle of friendly negotiation, he still typed.

[This... We respect your privacy and have not investigated your personal information, or what do you want me to call you here? 】

Too lazy to go around in circles, Hao Yun typed.

[I am Hao Yun. 】

Seeing this line of news, the other party was obviously silent for a while.

After a long time, as if he had come to his senses, the other party finally sent an embarrassing expression.

【(Awkward)】

[Please stop joking. 】

Hao Yun continued typing with a smile.

【I’m really Hao Yun. If you don’t believe me, go and watch the replay of the Battle Cry Cup. I remember I said that hao12345 is my vest. Didn't I laugh at you, didn't you do a clear investigation before setting up the project? 】

The message was sent, but there was no response for a long time.

Hao Yun continued to send a question mark with itchy hands, but he did not expect that a red exclamation mark was posted next to the message he sent this time.

The moment he saw the exclamation point, Hao Yun was stunned.

Fuck?

This is blacked out?

At this moment, Hao Yun didn't know that the person who sent a message to discuss cooperation with him earlier was not a small fish or shrimp, but Wang Fa, the manager and chief designer of Rice's entertainment product department!

All right.

Although these titles sound bluffing, and Wang Fa himself is somewhat well-known in the industry, but in front of Mr. Hao, he is no different from a small fish and shrimp.

Just when Hao Yun threw this episode aside, Wang Fa, who was far away at the rice entertainment headquarters, was furiously throwing his temper at his subordinates.

"hao12345 is Hao Yun?! Are you all pigs??? Our game is almost developed, why no one told me about it!"

Everyone in the office was scolded with dumbfounded and aggrieved faces.

We didn't tell you, but you didn't even ask!

Besides, shouldn't this kind of thing be common sense?

Almost everyone, including Luo Xingtao, the director of the ALX studio, believed that Wang Fa deliberately chose this map as the blueprint for the adaptation because he knew that Mr. Hao himself was the designer of Chenghai 3C.

Unexpectedly, they misunderstood...

"Wang, Mr. Wang, calm down first."

Luo Xingtao coughed dryly, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but before he could say any words of comfort, he was spitting all over his face.

"How the hell do you make me calm down! What a bunch of idiots!" Cursing, Wang Fa sat back on the chair, his heavy snorting like a crater brewing magma.

hao12345 is actually Hao Yun!

Wang Fa could imagine with his ass that from Hao Yun's standpoint, he would definitely not cooperate with their Chenghai Alliance announcement.

Even thinking of DOTA, which was recently launched and topped the hot list of creative workshops, and Chenghai 3C's suspension of updates, this series of seemingly unrelated actions is clearly aimed at their "Chenghai Alliance".

"Mr. Wang, what shall we... do now?" Luo Xingtao couldn't make up his mind, and looked at Wang Fa in bewilderment.

Chenghai Alliance is a transformational work of ALX studio.

Now that the release of "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" has encountered Waterloo, if this new work also suffers losses, there may be no studio like ALX in the game industry in the future.

Even if it is a little more optimistic, the studio has not been disbanded, and it is hard to escape the end of layoffs or even being packaged and resold.

Wang Fa bit his thumb with a gloomy expression on his face.

As the top leaders of Rice's entertainment products department, at least in the crucial project of Chenghai Alliance, the two of them are both prosperous and hurt.

Finally, he made up his mind and made a decision.

"Advance release!"

"But we'll have to change the name."

"Just change it to... 3C Alliance!"

Although it was a bit of an attempt to cover up, but the opponent was Mr. Hao of Yunmeng Group after all. Facing this terrifying opponent, both in terms of strength and popularity, he had to be cautious, at least not to fall into the trap of talking about some superficial things.

Compared with Chenghai Alliance, which is an obvious edge, the 3C Alliance sounds much better.

As the abbreviation of the three-corridor gameplay, many maps in the creative workshop have similar titles. It is impossible for your Yunmeng Group to be so overbearing that even the abbreviation of 3C is not used by people, right?

Looking at Mr. Wang who regained his confident expression, Luo Xingtao always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Is it really okay to do this?

It doesn't always feel that simple...
