Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

"Golden Wind..."

Mr. Zhao's voice hadn't finished yet, and the conference room spoke in unison.

Everyone's consensus is very unified.

Because of the company's accomplishments in FPS games——

No one can beat it!

A "Left 4 Dead" has created the "second-generation FPS mode" that has been praised by countless colleagues and crazily imitated and learned!

Immediately afterwards, with "PUBG Mobile", the shooting game market was detonated, leading the sales in Asia, and at the same time created a new FPS gameplay of "Battle Royale"!

In just one year!

Two works!

A game that subverts the basic mode of shooting games! Another one that creates a new way to play the game!

Such a company does not dare to say that there will be no one in the future, but it is definitely unprecedented!

Therefore, all the high-level executives of Yiyou immediately thought of the golden wind.

But the problem is——

"Their size, can't meet the production cost requirements of escort masterpieces?"

President Sun said:

"Usually speaking, the cost of an escort masterpiece is easily 700 to 800 million, and it is not uncommon to even exceed one billion, but the wind of gold..."

"Even counting the revenue brought to them by PUBG this time,"

"It is impossible for them to produce a game with a total investment of 800, 900, 900,000, or even more than 1 billion before the release of Yiyou x2..."

size problem.

It seems that this question has been plaguing Winds of Gold since its inception.

Today, even more so.

"How about we participate in the investment?"

When everyone frowned, Mr. Qian suggested:

"We are responsible for funding and supplementing the development funds required by Golden Wind, and then both parties will share dividends in proportion."

Although Mr. Qian's words sound reasonable.

But obviously, he didn't consider how much Yiyou would need to invest if he really invested.

After all, he is the head of the development department, surnamed Qian, but he has been playing the role of asking for money for a long time, and has no idea about the investment amount.

"not too good,"

The second-in-command Mr. Zhao immediately shook his head, signaling that something was wrong:

"If Golden Wind really wants to develop one of the three escort masterpieces, then the project will start by the end of next month at the latest,"

"At that time, PUBG's full-scale revenue would not exceed 200 million, which is still in the most ideal situation,"

"That is to say, we need to inject 600-800 million yuan into them, so that we can support their game development,"

"The stakes are too high."

As an investor, the investment amount is close to 80% of the total project amount!

Isn't this nonsense!

This is not investment, it is clearly gambling.

Hundreds of millions of funds.

Such a large amount of money is not a small amount even for Yiyou.

and!

The use of such a huge amount of funds requires the approval of the board of directors.

And Yan Sheng knew that group of people very well.

As a somatosensory cabin and game platform company, the board of directors would never agree with them taking such a slant and temporarily acting as a game development and investment company to inject hundreds of millions of capital into a small start-up.

And if they insist on going their own way and misappropriating funds without telling the board of directors, then if they miss, everyone present, including Yan Sheng, will not be able to eat and walk around, and may even be involved in a lawsuit.

Therefore, it is useless for a few of their executives to trust the golden wind.

The board of directors did not make a decision, and no one was recruited.

"Um--"

Speaking of this, several people were all frowning and contemplative, and lost their minds for a while.

Seeing everyone looking at him one after another, Yan Sheng also sighed: "How about this, Golden Wind is an alternative for now, let's contact Zhenting Studio for FPS games first."

Zhenting Studio is also a relatively well-known large-scale game company in China, focusing on FPS games.

In terms of size, it is as famous as Guangyao, one of the five major studios under Xunteng.

The two families are rivals to each other, often wrestling with each other's arms, and each wins and loses.

Since Guangyao is a direct descendant of Xun Teng, Zhenting naturally leans more towards Yiyou's side. The relationship between the two is not bad, and they have cooperated many times before.

After all, Yan Sheng still considered the issue of size and put the Golden Wind on the shortlist.

Although, he desperately wanted to cooperate with Golden Wind, and allocated the last spot for the FPS escort masterpiece to Golden Wind, and Gu Sheng would do it himself.

But perseveringly, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

He can't let Golden Wind produce a work with less than 200 million yuan, and it will be launched as their escort masterpiece, right?

Wouldn't that make people laugh out loud.

Thinking about it, Yan Sheng also picked up the phone, and was about to make a phone call with the person in charge of the Zhenting studio. First, he called the front station, asked the other party what he meant, and saw if there was any cooperation intention.

However!

Before he could find the contact information of Zhenting Studio on his mobile phone!

Ding dong!

Suddenly, the phone rang!

A push from Tiantianyoubao appeared on the top of the screen——

"Heavy! Xun Teng announced the cooperation with Zhenting Studio! "

I? ah?

Yan Sheng froze immediately, and read the news three times over and over again!

Next, hold up the phone and flip it left and right to check.

He suspected that he was being monitored!

I just said that I want to cooperate with Zhenting, and the next second you tell me that Zhenting has "joined the enemy"?

How did I feel that I was manipulated by a mysterious force?

Yan Sheng was a little numb. When he opened the notification, he saw that it said:

... It is reported that the cooperation between the two parties this time is mainly to prepare for the "Polar Bear 3" somatosensory cabin that will be released in the first half of tomorrow.

At that time, Zhenting Studio will cooperate with Xunteng's two ace shooting game studios, Guangyao and Tianlang, to jointly launch three FPS-type escort masterpieces.

At the same time, Polar Bear 3 will also become the only somatosensory cabin that chooses three games of the same type as escorts so far.

It is enough to see that Xunteng Games is determined to win the FPS market this time...

hiss--! ! !

Putting down the phone, Yan Sheng couldn't help but gasped, his brows knit into a knot.

He knows that it will be in the first half of next year.

The new generation of somatosensory capsule "Polar Bear 3" developed by Xunteng Technology will be released in perfect collision with the "Yiyou x2" developed by their Yiyou.

Of course, rather than a collision, it might be better to say that Xunteng Technology is 'sniping' them.

The reason is also very simple -

As of the second quarter of this year, Yiyou x1's domestic market share has risen from 17% to 20%, a year-on-year increase of 3 percentage points.

The market share of Polar Bear 2 dropped from 28% to 25%, a drop of 3 percentage points.

The gap between the two sides has also been shortened from the original 11% to 5%.

Of course, Xun Teng couldn't sit still, because if this continues, the position of the leader of their domestic somatosensory cabin is very likely to be replaced.

Xun Teng's sniper attack was expected by Yan Sheng.

But he didn't expect it!

This time, Xun Teng's offensive was so fierce!

We have found three large-scale shooting game studios in China, and launched three FPS games in a row, as escort masterpieces, to create momentum for the new generation of somatosensory cabins!

I can tell!

Xun Teng is so ruthless, he is bound to get a big piece of cake in today's increasingly hot shooting game market!

Even at any cost!

He took the initiative to contact Zhen Ting, who had been on bad terms before, and spent a lot of money to win them under his command, almost completely monopolizing the resources of domestic first-line shooting game developers!

[This time, you won't be able to eat a little bit of rice from shooting games! 】

Xun Teng's meaning was obvious.

Slowed down for half a minute!

Yan Sheng couldn't help but wryly smiled, and forwarded the news to the executive WeChat group:

"Come on, let me stop calling Zhenting, let's find another way out..."

Hearing this, all the executives picked up their phones one after another.

After some inspection, they are all stupid!

What the fuck?

Mr. Yan can't follow what he says?

Just when you said you wanted to cooperate with Zhenting, Zhenting joined the enemy?

certainly!

It is not appropriate to say "surrender to the enemy".

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Zhen Ting, as an independent game studio, has not signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with Yiyou, and is not an in-depth partner of Yiyou.

Just in this way...

"Then what shall we do?"

Vice President Lao Zhao scratched his head:

"Isn't this fucking going to be put down by us?"

"There are not many established first-tier domestic manufacturers that focus on shooting games. After all, the previous market has always been dominated by Xunteng,"

"Two of the top three FPS manufacturers are owned by Xunteng,"

"It's good now, all three of the goddamn families are under their control,"

"We... this fucking..."

Old Zhao looked complicated.

Not angry, just simply felt that this matter was out of the ordinary.

Three FPS escort masterpieces? !

Is this a fucking human thing? !

Who is a good person to choose three games of the same type as the escort masterpiece for their somatosensory cabin? !

Is this... raising Gu?

Hearing Lao Zhao's doubts, Mr. Li, who is in charge of market operations, shook his head: "It's not raising Gu, Xunteng is going to fully occupy the FPS market, and wants to beat us to death..."

Hearing this, Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows and raised his hand: "Tell me?"

President Li nodded:

"First of all, Xun Teng is not stupid, I believe everyone knows that,"

"Historically, no somatosensory cabin has selected all its escort masterpieces as the same game type when it is released,"

"Shundo must have known this too, so I guess—"

"Their tactic this time is to 'destroy from all directions and attack together'."

Mr. Li is very smart, or rather, a thief.

After all, it is dedicated to playing the market, and even a single strand of hair is empty.

Immediately realized that this wave of operations by Xun Teng can be described as a wolf's ambition!

"Tianlang, Guangyao, Zhenting,"

Mr. Li snapped his fingers and said:

"These three developers seem to be FPS manufacturers, but in fact, their focus is different,"

"Tianlang focuses on traditional battle competitions. It started with a generation of FPS. It is the core development team of Shuttle in the early stage,"

"Guangyao's main focus is the somatosensory cabin masterpiece, and the current development focus is on the second-generation FPS, and it is very good at grasping market trends,"

"As for Zhenting, it has always been focusing on the stand-alone game market. Whether it is plot narrative or graphics, the market has a good reputation."

After hearing Mr. Li's analysis, everyone couldn't help but gasped.

Mr. Li's meaning is already very obvious——

Tianlang focuses on traditional battles and holds his ground.

Guangyao launched the second-generation FPS to increase the escape and kill, and divide and eat.

Zhen Ting is responsible for producing stand-alone machines, chasing and intercepting them.

The three axes, the ax and the ax go straight to Yiyou's choked throat, and are bound to win the shooting game market in one fell swoop!

Even Yan Sheng, who was a competitor, couldn't help sighing in his heart, what a fierce offensive!

If you want money, you have money, and if you want people, you have people!

The three-axe seems simple and crude, but with one force falling ten times, the big axe can hardly parry it even if it is Yiyou!

Obviously!

Hard steel is definitely not a good choice for Yiyou!

So, after a moment of silence, Vice President Zhao said: "In this case, President Yan, we might as well avoid the edge for now."

Yan Sheng understood what Vice President Zhao meant.

The three axes are powerful, and they are difficult to resist.

If that's the case, don't resist it!

Anyway, the game in the somatosensory cabin is more than just FPS!

Since Xun Teng has been ruthless this time, trying his best to seize the FPS market, then stay away from them and focus on sports and racing for escort masterpieces.

Make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, this is the benefit of walking on three legs.

Although it may lose part of the shooting game market, it can make up for it through the other two tracks, and even achieve overtaking.

Why not do it?

"Mr. Zhao means that we give up FPS directly?"

Yan Sheng pondered slightly:

"But Yiyou x2's full sensory assistive technology performs best in FPS..."

"You don't have to give up completely,"

Vice President Zhao chuckled and said:

"On the choice of shooting game manufacturers... don't we have a backup option?"

Wind of gold!

Just listen to Mr. Zhao say:

"We definitely can't completely empty out the shooting game sector, otherwise the advantages of full-sensing assistance will not be reflected,"

"But if we take the three tricks hard, the loss outweighs the gain for us,"

"Then it's better to let the golden wind go into battle,"

"Tian Ji's horse racing,"

"Use low-cost horses to symbolically mark Xun Teng's three axes,"

"Then we stepped up our efforts and tried our best to let the other two tracks seize this opportunity to achieve corner overtaking,"

"Anyway..."

Speaking of which.

Lao Zhao is actually a little embarrassed, knowing that his move is a bit of a loss, but it is indeed the best solution:

"Anyway, the wind of gold... should be used to this kind of battle of winning more with less,"

"Although in terms of cost, Golden Wind is inferior, but I believe that with Director Gu's performance..."

"Well……"

"Um……"

"It should be... also okay?"

In the end, Lao Zhao himself couldn't believe it.

He really couldn't make up a single sentence of this nonsense.

How much does Wind of Gold invest?

100 million? 200 million?

How much does the three axes invest?

Three billion? Four billion?

Anyone who picks out one at random can knock the golden wind on the ground and explode with a hammer!

In the case of one-on-one, there is still a ten-fold cost difference!

What's more, this time, they want the golden wind to hit three!

Thirty to forty times the cost gap!

What kind of fairy game must it be to make Golden Wind come back from such a huge disadvantage? !

Old Zhao couldn't figure it out.

Because that is simply tan90°—it does not exist!

This trick is actually to use the golden wind as a backing!

In the three-hero war against Lv Bu, Lv Bu's fighting power is outstanding!

What is the wind of gold and these two forced money?

Say my name to scare you.

This is simply three Lv Bu besieged General Lingling.

Old Zhao even suspected that he would only be able to set up a tomb for Golden Wind——

The ashes of the golden wind have to be raised by those three.

Yan Sheng was very embarrassed.

On the one hand, Lao Zhao's move is too bad. Tian Ji's horse racing at this level is like letting an elementary school student enter the octagonal cage to compete with three Tysons.

But on the other hand, Lao Zhao's method is indeed the best solution at present.

Dilemma!

After pondering for a while!

Yan Sheng threw his heart out!

"Well, in two days, PUBG's first week sales will come out,"

"Look at this, it should be no problem to recover the cost in the first week,"

"While Boss Xiao Shen is happy, I will go to Binjiang personally,"

"On the one hand, congratulate Mr. Shen, and on the other hand, take the opportunity to talk about our considerations,"

"It's probably better for her to accept it..."

...

I can't accept it.

I can't fucking take a little bit of it! ! !

Ah ah ah ah ah--

Two days later!

Golden Wind CEO Office.

Shen Miaomiao grabbed the gilt-framed wooden certificate in her hand, clenched her teeth, her eyes were about to burst, and she almost wanted to break the certificate in her hand!

On the table, as of 8:00 last night, there was a special fax to her from the Asian Games, PUBG's first week sales results!

Other games don't have this treatment!

because!

As of last night!

The total number of sold copies of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has broken the highest single-week sales record in the history of the Asian Games, making history!

566,894 copies sold in a single week! The total sales volume is 55,555,612 yuan!

Excluding the 10% commission, the net profit was perfectly realized in a single week, and it even exceeded 50 yuan!

And what Shen Miaomiao held in her hands was the record-breaking medal certificate entrusted by China Entertainment Television from the Asian Games.

i fucking...

Shen Miaomiao almost ran away.

Making money is not terrible, the key is that my 10 million is included in this byd game set!

Ten million!

That's what I got in exchange for a super guarantee card!

That is so precious that it cannot be more precious, a 100 times rebate card that can only be obtained by unlocking achievements!

Only this one! Miss it no more!

For this thing, I tossed and tossed for half a year, and came up with a "Left 4 Survival", and lost 100,000 to 10 million.

Before it was warmed up in hand, it was melted into the company's funds for free. Thinking of laying eggs and laying eggs, the infinite cycle, the situation is very good.

result!

half a year!

The egg did give birth to a chicken, but he meowed and the chicken ran away! ! !

Shen Miaomiao was very sad.

Even a little phantom egg pain...

poof.

Holding her breath for a while, Shen Miaomiao lay down on the table weakly, a sad tear flowed down from the corner of her eyes.

Aggrieved.

It's so frustrating.

Especially after hearing the employees outside the door rushing to tell each other, congratulating each other, and admiring "Director Gu is really a god!"

This kind of aggrieved has almost reached its peak.

Is there any reason?

Is there still Wang Fa?

Isn't this bullying honest people?

I!

Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and think about it more and more!

Make a sound!

Shen Miaomiao jumped up from her seat, and when she lifted the medal certificate, she was about to knock it on her knees!

But at this moment!

Tuk tuk - click.

Chu Qingzhou knocked on the door and poked his head in: "Mr. Shen, you...? What are you doing?"

See you!

At this moment, Shen Miaomiao was holding up the medal certificate with both hands, looking up, like an old ape holding Simba.

"I……"

Shen Miaomiao opened her mouth:

"Ah-Zkenya--Mammy Chihuahua--"
