Friday, October 27th.
In Duan Lin's chain of Internet cafes.
"Well, that's enough for the preliminary preparations. Be smart and don't mess it up when you hold the event." Wei Qicheng warned.
Duan Lin nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I won't hold this kind of event once or twice, there will definitely be no problems!
"but……
"Mr. Xiaolu of Xinglu Internet Cafe seems a little difficult to deal with. Mr. Wei, are you sure?"
Wei Qicheng glared at him, and Duan Lin quickly nodded and apologized: "Sorry, Mr. Wei, I'm a bit talkative, but I'm just worried. After all, whether the game "High School Show" can succeed is very important to us."
After their desperate escape from the Star Road Internet Cafe last time, the two of them realized their situation very clearly.
The crisis is not over, but has worsened!
Somehow, Xiaolu from Xinglu Internet Cafe got support from the second research group, and he was so taken seriously that even the new regulated VR game cabin was moved home for use!
Judging from Wang Yang's attitude towards him, Mr. Xiaolu probably has unimaginable energy now.
This is certainly not good news.
From Wei Qicheng's perspective, the game of the same name as "High School Show" is about to be launched, and it must be linked with the variety show. But Lu Zhixing had already dealt a heavy blow to the college show through the welcome party before. This time, the two sides may still collide and cause a tragic car accident.
If the high school show's eponymous game goes viral, then he, the person in charge, may also be to blame.
From Duan Lin's perspective, the games produced by Lu Zhixing must have only one purpose, which is to save Xinglu Internet Cafe. Once he succeeds, Xinglu Internet Cafe will definitely not only turn a profit, but will definitely continue to expand.
By then, the market around Jinghai University will probably take away a large part of it, and his life will be difficult.
Therefore, both of them are facing a formidable enemy and must not lose.
But how can we not lose?
Duan Lin really couldn't figure it out, so he was eager to gain some confidence from Wei Qicheng.
Wei Qicheng waved to Duan Lin, motioning for him to come closer, and then lowered his voice and said: "What are you afraid of? He has his own advantages, don't we have none?"
“The popularity of games has never been directly related to quality.
"We may be lacking in terms of game quality, but when it comes to publicity resources and marketing methods, we are backed by Changteng Entertainment and have the natural popularity of a college show. Aren't we going to completely crush a newcomer?
"Just wait and see, I will definitely teach this kid a lesson!
"Did you know that the official will hold a press conference recently to promote a new technology?"
Duan Lin looked confused: "I don't know, what new technology?"
Wei Qicheng chuckled: "This is also the inside information that I just heard about before. The official has been trying a new technology of 'using consciousness to directly generate game materials' some time ago. Now this technology has initially matured, so the official plans to hold a press conference to inform the public Ordinary players also announced this.
"At the same time as the press conference, some game projects using this new technology will also be recommended on the platform. As far as I know, the traffic support of this recommendation is very high. Although there are many games, as long as the traffic of other games can be Grab it and you'll make a lot of money!
“So I found a researcher from the first research team to be the technical consultant for the high school show, and asked him to use consciousness generation technology to create some materials and add them to the game.
"In this way, you can participate in this official recommendation! Then we will cooperate with the column team to do some publicity, and the exposure will be fully maximized. Are you afraid that you will not be able to grab the popularity?"
Duan Lin suddenly realized: "That's it, Mr. Wei is so smart!"
But then he realized that there seemed to be some problems: "But Mr. Wei, speaking of this new technology... Did the VR game cabin that Mr. Wang gave that boy that day also use this new technology? Shouldn't we? Just hit the muzzle of the gun, right?"
Wei Qicheng chuckled: "Isn't it possible that I can't think of the problems you can think of?
“So the beauty of my plan is here.
"It stands to reason that you don't deserve to know this confidential information, but it doesn't matter. Who put us in the same boat? As a partner, I will tell you briefly."
Duan Lin nodded hurriedly: "Hey, you tell me."
Wei Qicheng lowered his voice again: "This consciousness connection technology is still in the testing stage. Even the fastest skilled workers can only use it for up to an hour a day. The materials generated are very limited, and they have to be perfected by painters. Even if The efficiency is higher than traditional methods, but not much higher, understand?”
Duan Lin was confused: "I don't quite understand."
Wei Qicheng continued: "It has been less than a week since the official confirmation of holding this event. This event will be held on the weekend, and these games will have to be reviewed during this period. In other words, after today, registration will be closed. Understand ?"
Duan Lin was still confused: "Still... I don't understand a bit."
Wei Qicheng was a little unhappy: "Let me make it clearer. According to reliable information, the game that guy is working on is called "Ordinary Life". Although I don't know what the specific design is, I can roughly confirm that it is a physical game." It is a relatively large-volume game, and the game scenes include Keihai University and several nearby streets.
"How small is our game, how big is his game? How long have we been working on our game, and how long has it been working on his game?
"Do you understand this time?"
Duan Lin was a little confused: "Mr. Wei, I should understand based on your tone, but..."
Wei Qicheng was completely speechless: "To put it bluntly, this kid didn't have time to participate in this event! He can't possibly play the game so fast!"
Duan Lin suddenly realized: "Oh! Mr. Wei, if you said this earlier, I would have understood it a long time ago!"
The corners of Wei Qicheng's mouth twitched slightly, feeling helpless that he had such a pig teammate.
But then, Duan Lin had a new problem.
"Hey, Mr. Wei, how did we get to the game in time?"
Wei Qicheng chuckled: "This is not easy, just taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules! Wherever there are rules, there are loopholes!
"The traditional VR mode and this 'too clear' deep space VR mode are actually incompatible. But on the platform, there is no clear distinction.
"After all, so far, there are no games made purely using this new technology. Many companies participating in the event are just like us, just using new resources and getting by. Officials know about it, but in order to maintain their appearance, they turn a blind eye. With one eye closed.
“This event is not limited to the VR mode of deep space, but as long as the game contains resources produced by new methods, you can participate.
“What’s more, our game was developed early and is small in size. The real big scene is the performance stage, and the boat is small and easy to turn around.
"In short, the kid named Lu didn't have time to participate in this event. As for when he will be able to make the game, it's hard to say, but what is certain is that by then our game will have already gained enough popularity!"
Duan Lin was very happy: "Okay, isn't this God helping us? We have two at the right time and in the right place!"
Wei Qicheng patted him on the shoulder: "So, Boss Duan, just relax and get our activities done in a down-to-earth manner. The guy named Lu may have some talent in game design, but he only knows how to design. What a waste? This world is not that simple!"
The two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
…
While the two were popping champagne at halftime, a game quietly appeared on the official gaming platform.
And on the account that previously updated the game design school's welcome party, a new video was also released.
"The game "In My Eyes" is now officially launched on the official platform! This game will be available on VR, PC, and mobile phones at the same time. Compared with the stage play, it adds blinking gameplay and new interactive scenes. The initial price is 18 yuan (VR version Price: 28 yuan), welcome to try it!”
This video is also a promotional video for "In My Eyes". It contains some specific game scenes, as well as a simple display of the blinking gameplay and holographic interactive scenes.
This is already the best way of publicity that Lu Zhixing can do at this stage.
In fact, Professor He Cheng and Team Leader Zhou both took the initiative to ask Lu Zhixing if they needed some publicity resources. If so, they could fight for it.
But Lu Zhixing didn't want to do it. On the one hand, he wanted to see if this game could survive on its own quality, and on the other hand, because precious publicity resources should be reserved for "Ordinary Life".
It can be seen from the pricing that "You in the Eyes" follows the route of small profits but quick turnover. Its main purpose is not to make money, but to create enough popularity as a large-scale promotional video for "Ordinary Life".
With the update of the promotional video, the popularity accumulated before by "In My Eyes" began to be realized quickly.
Many viewers not only purchased it one after another, but also began to spontaneously recommend it to various game anchors and UP hosts.
