Number One Game Designer

Chapter 35: We are not a dark horse

Seeing Qian Shasha's narrow expression, Fang Xi had a headache.

Let’s go back to the day when the salary increase was announced. At that time, Fang Xi invited people from the whole company to go off work and have a happy time. At that time, the dinner company all arrived, except for two people: Fang Xi and Lu Wanqi.

At a general company dinner, if you are two small shrimps, then this kind of party is not at all important, but Fang Xi and Lu Wanqi, one is the current boss, and the other is the chief (only) planner of the company. They are a proper company. One of the most important people now, and why these two people did not show up is very fascinating.

However, no one dared to chew their tongues during work the next day. The boss just raised your salary the day before yesterday, but the next day it was opened because of the lace news of the chairman of BB. There was no place to cry, although Fang Xi would not start a job for such boring reasons.

But after dinner that night, Fang Xi and Lu Wanqi seemed to have become a strange relationship.

Although the two people’s office is not far away, this girl can avoid him in all kinds of ways. They are obviously not far apart, but she may only be able to meet up once a day after going to work. This time she will probably be avoided by Lu Wanqi. open. As a result, Fang Xi is so depressed that he has nowhere to say. Inviting Lu Wanqi to dinner came as a chance to enhance the relationship. During the meal, the two had a good chat. After the end, they seemed to have returned to the previous cold war state. Fang Xi is straight ( chu) male (nan) is simply puzzling.

In addition to these trivial things, Hongyi games can be said to be thriving during this period. "Swallowing the World" firmly sits on the throne of the first online game. Whether it is retention rate, the number of players and the flow of factors, it is firmly in the market. The top spot of the game has caused many players to wonder whether the domestic game market is about to change?

Before Fang Xi came to Hongyi Games, only niche game enthusiasts had heard of this company.

After Fang Xi released the trailer for "Swallowing Heaven and Earth", some media predicted that this company will be a new force in the domestic game market, but most media believe that a trailer can't explain much.

After Fang Xi announced the internal test flow of "Swallowing the World", most media began to believe that Hongyi Games has the hope of becoming a new giant in the game industry.

It was only a month after the public beta of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" that most of the media suddenly realized that Hongyi Games is not a "new force" nor a "dark horse". Hongyi Games is now the number one winner in the online game market!

The first week's turnover was 6.24 million!

The next week's turnover was 4.96 million!

In the third week, the turnover rose again due to the launch of monthly cards, reaching 6.81 million!

The monthly flow in the first week directly broke 23 million!

This kind of first-month data is unmatched no matter where it is placed!

For Fang Xi, even though he already knew that the game was bound to be a big hit, he was finally relieved until the real data was in his hands. After all, the quality of the game is one thing, but the market’s reaction is again. Another thing is that in the film industry, weird phenomena such as "applauding but not applauding" and "applauding but not applauding" are common in the film industry, and they also exist in the game. Especially for online games, in addition to works like Fang Xi that have been verified by the previous market, other large companies such as Donghuang dare not slap their chests to ensure that their online games will not lose money.

However, these worries have nothing to do with Fang Xi now. Now Hongyi Games has not lost to the strange laws of the market, but has truly become an online game legend that is "popular and popular"!

So now Fang Xi is very relaxed. The revenue myth of "Swallowing the Heavens and Eating the Earth" is a relief for Hongyi, so that the broken ship can be beaten and beaten and sail again. For himself, "Swallowing the Heavens and the Earth" The more you earn from the Kunming game of "The Land", the easier it will be to make new games later.

Fang Xi even contacted Shui Ran and posted a small column on the homepage of the official website of "GAME World" to keep informed of the income and the number of players of "Swallowing the World" at any time.

This data, on the one hand, is for players to see. The reason is the herd mentality of online games mentioned earlier. The more popular gamers there are, the more players will bring higher enthusiasm, forming a virtuous circle.

On the other hand, it is for "friends". From the end of the closed beta, "GAME World", which is considered a good cooperation with Fang Xi, was the first to find Hongyi and expressed his willingness to open a channel service. Fang Xi had no choice. .

Many portals have an annoyance, that is, they have huge traffic, but it is difficult to monetize. The most intuitive means of monetization is advertising. However, if there are too many advertisements, the audience will get angry and impatient, and there are not so many thresholds for page games. Now, there is no configuration threshold. Just hang up the channel service in Fangxi, and then put the game on his website and wait for Leek to come in and send money. This is a standard win-win operation.

"In other words, now we just wait for other portals to come and slaughter a vote?"

Liu Hai made a knife-cutting gesture on one side.

Fang Xi was a little bit dumbfounded: "Are we a gangster? We still have to slaughter a vote... No need, this kind of relationship can be regarded as a good relationship. We just want to make a good relationship if there is traffic, and let them have no traffic. Where can we stay for two dollars? After all, if they slaughter the players heavily, it will also drag down our reputation and lose more than the gain.

"Understood." Liu Hai nodded and made a stroke in the notebook. "Then the next thing, there was a wind on the silver bell game, and a card drawing game modeled after us was also made. It is claimed to be online after the Spring Festival and it is completely free. How do we deal with it?"

"Can you go online after the Spring Festival?" Fang Xi snorted, and if it were placed on the earth of the previous life, it would be possible. After all, doing this kind of web game in China is a familiar road, and working overtime is not impossible for a month, but in this world ? Does Yinling really think that two technicians who take pictures of cats and tigers can make the same game?

Thinking of this, Fang Xi shook his head: "Don't worry, as long as they don't exist, um... help me find out who is their project leader?"

Liu Hai directly pulled out a piece of paper: "They released the information together. The producer is Ren Xiang. He was the master planner of two games before, and both made good revenue. The most important thing is that he is very young now. He is one of the most well-known young producers in the country, and the media should be pushing them later, trying to package him as a star producer."

Ren Xiang, this name is a bit familiar, Fang Xi said in his heart.

I immediately thought of the negative comments on "Swallowing Heaven and Evil" on "Star River Game" that I had seen before.

How does it feel like you came across deliberately? Fang Xi thought about it in his heart, but immediately threw it aside. Others have no obligation to stop him if they want to die, don't they?
