Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Inside the reception room of Fengyun Games.

Chen Xu was discussing the content of"League of Legends"-related events with Huang Kaige from Shark TV and Hou Yalin, the Minister of the Game Committee.

Regarding an event related to"League of Legends", one of the leagues in each division will not be held for the time being in the first season.

Instead, we directly started a global invitational tournament. The main reason was to let others see the determination of Fengyun Games.

In Chen Xu's view, a league in each division is even more important than the Global Invitational Tournament.

If the Global Invitational Tournament is a card, it symbolizes the highest honor.

Then a mode of the league is equivalent to a normal operation, ensuring that the e-sports mode of"League of Legends" can operate intact.

No matter how grand the Global Invitational Tournament is, there is only one in that year.

Clubs from all over the world compete for it.

But there is only one champion.

Therefore, the e-sports mode of the entire game and the large and small competitions in each division in each quarter can maintain the entire competitive system.

Of course, in terms of attention, except for players who particularly like"League of Legends", they often watch games regardless of size. In terms of attention, small games are definitely not as good as big games.

But that doesn't mean it's not necessary.

The hosting of these corresponding events requires organizers.

Shark TV alone is not enough, and another large-scale event is held throughout the year.

At the same time, not only in a certain city, document review in this area is also a problem, so the game committee needs to take action.

Regarding the first S1 Global Invitation Finals, Chen Xu has already completed an entire planning document.

Very detailed.

This was also arranged by Chen Xu with reference to a"League of Legends" in his previous life and some other e-sports events.

First of all, the venue is located at the Magic City International Sports Exhibition Hall, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators.

Choosing to be in the Magic City instead of the Imperial City where Fengyun Games is located was mainly based on the nature of the city.

The Imperial City is more focused on politics, while the Magic City is a more diversified economic metropolis. It is relatively suitable to refer to a model of the Global Invitational Tournament.

The first is a holographic image specially customized for the venue. Although"League of Legends" will be updated frequently every year, it will also bring some fresh content on the stage of the global finals.

New heroes, major game version changes, or entertainment modes such as 'unlimited firepower'.

The large four-sided projection screen ensures that players in the front or back rows will have a perfect viewing experience.

It also includes a warm-up before the game, using virtual technology to allow the heroes in"League of Legends" to appear on the field through holographic projections to perform.

There are also dedicated band performances.

This includes the entire BP process, as well as each club arriving in Magic City one month in advance to adapt, as well as shooting promotional videos related to each team.

There are also post-match interviews, including a documentary about the winning team named 'Legends'.

In Chen Xu's opinion, these were necessary contents for a global international event like this in his previous life, but from the perspective of Hou Yalin and Huang Kaige on the Game Committee, they were all confused.

"Mr. Chen, you...are you sure you want to do this? ?"Huang Kaige's voice had a little vibrato.

Are you holding an e-sports competition, the Olympics, or the Champions League?

If this system does not shrink, how much budget will it cost?

Although Chen Xu said in advance that"League of Legends" global The prize money for the finals is no less than 10 million US dollars.

Huang Kaige can already feel that Chen Xu attaches great importance to"League of Legends" and has courage.

But such a scale was something he had never expected.

In In his impression, e-sports competitions have higher bonuses and are held offline.

Then there are dedicated commentators, referees, and soundproof rooms. It is almost a large-scale event.

But compared with Chen Xu's plan.

It is simply weak. Explosive.

Especially what was mentioned in Chen Xu’s plan.

Every club participating in the competition must have corresponding uniforms, benchmarks, and a corresponding LOGO.

Even the players of the club under their name need to pay attention to An image of an individual.

Compared to previous e-sports content, this is simply unprecedented.

"The budget for next year's Global Invitational Tournament is 350 million within Fengyun Games. Of course, this does not include the subsequent leagues in each division."Chen Xu looked at Huang Kaige and Hou Yalin and smiled.

Hiss!

After hearing Chen Xu's words, even though he knew that the budget would not be small.

But when the number 350 million came out of Chen Xu's mouth, the two of them still took a breath.

"The main reason is to promote"League of Legends". Moreover, I am indeed optimistic about e-sports, and it is an international-scale event after all. The number of overseas"League of Legends" player registrations has now exceeded 41 million."Chen Xu said with a smile.

For the first event, Chen Xu did not plan to find any sponsorship.

Including a broadcast of the event, he also did not plan to sell it.

The main reason is that it has never been on such a large scale before. It’s an event.

Rather than arguing with others because they don’t want to spend a lot of money, it’s better to directly promote its popularity in the first edition. By then, others will take the initiative to come to you. What do you want to talk about about broadcasting and sponsorship? It’s a matter of fact.

Anyway, Fengyun Games can’t afford the money now.

"There is no problem with this, it is not a small amount, and the event plan is also very complete. At the same time, this is also a very good publicity, and it is an international publicity. I will help you negotiate with you in the Magic City."Hou Yalin said there will be no problem.

According to the e-sports plan submitted by Chen Xu, it can be said to be an improvement in the performance of the domestic gaming committee.

Similarly, e-sports is an emerging industry. This is the first time that such a large-scale model has been held in China. , it is also an improvement of the external cultural image.

If it is done well, it will be delivered to the door.

Even if an ordinary company comes up with this plan, the probability of being approved is not high.

But it is Chen Xu who came up with this plan, and Fengyun Considering the scale of the game, this plan can be said to be appropriate, because Fengyun Games has the strength.
