I’m Really a Superstar

At noon.

Fat Sister's phone call came.

Zhang Ye had just finished his meal in the cafeteria and took the elevator upstairs. He saw several CCTV colleagues in the elevator looking at him like a plague and lowering their heads to whisper to each other. Zhang Ye didn't change his expression and didn't pay attention. The floor arrived. , he got off the elevator alone and answered the phone.

Zhang Ye: "Fat sister."

As soon as the fat lady opened her mouth, she addressed Zhang Ye differently than before, becoming more and more casual, "Zhang'er, the trial version of our game has caused a big commotion!"

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Ha, I saw it."

The fat girl was very excited, "Now the domestic media are giving us free publicity, but you are more popular. If you are connected to anything, those reporters and media are all like chicken blood!" Netizens and gamers are so generous. When I heard that you designed the game, they all praised it! I didn’t know how many fans you had before, but now I take a look and it turns out you have so many fans!"

Zhang Ye: "Everyone gives me face."

Fat Sister: “The game will be officially released in three days!”

Zhang Ye: "Okay, just wait for this day."

Fat Sister: "Everyone in the company is waiting for us now! How do you expect the sales to be?"

Zhang Ye: "In what form will it be sold?"

Fat Sister: "For the company's last game, we took the traditional route and released the original CD, but it ended up being sold out at a huge loss. Let's forget about it. Damn it, we definitely can't follow the old path this time, and I can't do it this time." It can be seen that the sales of CDs are becoming more and more declining now. Nowadays, the world is dominated by the Internet. This time, "Plants vs. Zombies" is also released in the online download mode. The download is free, and the first three levels are free, but if you want to continue playing, you need to Register and purchase the serial number. We have hesitated for a long time about the pricing. We feel that a range of five to fifteen yuan is more appropriate. The details have not been decided yet. I would like to hear your opinion."

Zhang Ye thought for a while and said: "Then five yuan. The threshold is too high and it will hurt the popularity. Let's make small profits but quick turnover? Let's lay the foundation first? With the popularity foundation, there will be many ways to make profits in the future."

"Hey, you mean, there's also "Plants vs. Zombies 2"?"

"necessary."

"Hahaha! Okay!"

"Let's not be too optimistic,

Nothing is certain yet. "

"I understand, everything is ready now, it's just about this last tremor! The company has invested all its capital and paid off the loan. If the sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" are really poor, the company will close down!"

"Khan, that's not the case, fat lady!"

"I know, prepare for the worst first! Of course, I also prepared for the best, haha!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ye returned to the office and sat down with his legs crossed, going through the matter from beginning to end in his mind. Overall, he was optimistic. As for the game "Plants vs. Zombies" itself, Zhang Ye With unshakable and absolute confidence, he clearly knows that this game is ahead of all puzzle games on this earth. This has been recognized by the market on his earth. However, a good game is a good game, but sales cannot. Just copy it, this earth also has the rules of this earth, but some places are still different.

For example, the sales model.

Such as the starting country.

For example, the charging model.

There are differences between the two worlds. Zhang Ye can only guarantee to restore 95% of the original version of "Plants vs. Zombies" on his earth, but it is impossible to copy the distribution model and distribution area according to his earth. He doesn't have the conditions either. This is a game made by a foreigner. We can't let him sell it abroad first in this world, right? Therefore, Zhang Ye could only do what he had to do and leave the rest to the market!

Zhang Ye undoubtedly attaches great importance to this crossover and cannot afford to lose anything. Because after being hidden by CCTV for so many days, his popularity has begun to stagnate. Now, it all depends on "Plants vs. Zombies" Make him more popular! At the level of second-tier stars, the fierce competition is obviously beyond the imagination of outsiders. The second-tier stars have long been familiar to the public. Basically half of the people in the country know or can call them by name. This is a completely With a star level that has a popular base, the unpredictability is even greater. Maybe a second-tier star suddenly bursts into acting and becomes a well-known movie with a box office of over one billion, and his popularity will definitely skyrocket. This is not surprising at all. , is also a common thing. Zhang Ye knows this and also understands the principle of retreating instead of advancing. What is the entertainment industry fighting for? To put it bluntly, Zhang Ye cannot allow himself to stand still even if he is fighting for popularity!

…

on Weibo.

A group of sunspots suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Their words were not directed at Zhang Ye, but they were all directed at "Plants vs. Zombies"!

"Are you all blind? How fun is this game!"

"You can tell just by looking at the picture, it's really rubbish!"

"Plants fighting zombies? That's ridiculous!"

"Only retarded people play this kind of game!"

"If the sales of this game exceed 500,000, I will jump off the building!"

"Haha, you are overthinking, why are you still asking for 500,000? Two hundred thousand is good! Don't look at the demo version that has been praised to the sky by the media and game magazines. When you really want people to spend money to buy it, not many people will. Buy it! Even if you want to play it, everyone will wait for the pirated and cracked version to come out before downloading it!"

There are many popular people, and the same goes for games.

Many fans of "Plants vs. Zombies" immediately fought back, with the two groups scolding each other!

…

The Internet is busy, but other places are not clean either.

For example, in the entertainment industry, many people in the industry are also paying attention to this matter, and they say anything privately.

"I don't even know what to say!"

"Why is this guy playing games again?"

"I've never seen such a star who doesn't do his job properly and doesn't act according to the routine at all!"

"Haha, I finally figured it out. Zhang Ye's real job is that he has no real job. Since last year, I can't tell what Zhang Ye's main job is! But having said that... "Plants vs. Zombies" is so fun! Zhang Ye offended everyone, but he is indeed capable, and I have to admit it!"

…

There are also voices in the gaming industry.

"Why is Zhang Ye, a big-name celebrity, trying to steal food from us?"

"Who knows what this guy is thinking!"

"The reputation of this game is so good, but the sales volume is not necessarily optimistic. Domestic games are currently weak, especially puzzle games, which have just started. Although everyone has put many hats on "Plants vs. Zombies", they have also given it There are a lot of expectations, but the domestic game market environment is like this. Piracy is rampant and foreign games occupy the market on a large scale. Want to rely on a domestic puzzle game to stand out? It is difficult! It is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

"Indeed, the sales volume may not be too high."

"But it's also a good momentum. At least we have a good puzzle game in our country. Even if they lose, they are still doing a good job. Even if they lose, it will be an honor!"

"Yes, someone has to give the domestic game a start! Even if it means losing!"

"Just wait for the release day and wish them good luck!"

"The sales volume may not be really bad. Maybe this time our domestic games can really create a miracle! Who said that our domestic games will always be inferior to foreign games?"

There are also voices in the gaming industry that are not very friendly to "Plants vs. Zombies", but the vast majority of peers still support and support it. Some game company CEOs and game planners even publicly expressed their support for "Plants vs. Zombies" on Weibo. "Like and repost, it's rare that Zhang Ye's cross-border scurrying did not arouse criticism and doubts from colleagues in the gaming industry, and countless people in the gaming industry sent blessings!

The reason is very simple, because in today’s domestic game market, domestic games are not mainstream at all. They only account for about a quarter of the market, and the rest are all divided and invaded by foreign games. People with a smaller mind may think that Zhang Ye They are robbing them of their jobs, but smarter people know that now is not the time for domestic game manufacturers to fight among themselves. It’s just a quarter of a small bowl. What’s the point of fighting if you win? What they want to grab now is the market share of foreigners. Zhang Ye came out with an amazing puzzle game. This is also expanding the market for their domestic games and giving all domestic game manufacturers a chance to win. Make the cake bigger!

This battle is not only Zhang Ye's own business.

This battle is even more about the battle between domestic games and foreign games!

A layman can only watch the fun, but an expert can tell the truth. Almost all colleagues in the gaming industry have played the demo version of "Plants vs. Zombies". Some people have even studied it several times, more than a dozen times. Although it is only a demo version, it is not officially We haven’t had the chance to see the true face of the version of Lushan yet, but just the tip of the iceberg has given colleagues in the game industry a shot in the arm. If we must come up with a game that can compete with foreigners now, , in terms of creativity, graphics, gameplay and many other aspects, there is no doubt that only "Plants vs. Zombies" can compete, so people in the game industry have high expectations, and everyone's eyes are fixed on the release date of the game. this day!
