There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Everything that happened in the meeting room of the New Ji Society.

Just an episode.

Very few people know.

It didn't even get out.

But as Li Guangsheng said, this episode is about business.

The change in wind direction cannot be concealed at all.

As for the change in wind direction, it is very simple, that is-the popularity of the game has begun to feed back the comics.

Nishio Seijun, the original author of the manga "Dark Engraving", has been updated for two weeks.

But the popularity of comics has not only not decreased.

On the contrary, it has risen!

On the ranking list of the largest fan website, for a whole week, you can see fan pictures secretly engraved by the heroine of the manga.

The number of fan pictures of other characters also began to skyrocket.

As for the sales volume of the manga booklet, although Xinjishe did not announce it.

But such a drastic change cannot be concealed from practitioners at all.

in addition.

In addition to the data mentioned by the sales director of the Xinji Agency.

There's also a change that manga readers perceive more strongly, but he doesn't say.

That is the animated version of "Dark Engraving"!

In the week when the "Day of Reincarnation" linkage event was launched, the latest episode of the animation that was broadcast that week reached a new high in ratings, becoming the highest-rated episode of the animation version so far...

The most watched episode of the entire anime!

This news is not guessed by readers, but confirmed by the animation production team and announced.

So most manga readers know that.

but.

Most of the comic readers saw this news and didn't say anything good...

No matter where it is, if popular long-form manga wants to be adapted into animation, there will be some problems.

The most prominent of these is the quality issue.

In Lin Yao's previous life, many of Shueisha's novels did not play the marathon of yearly events, at most they were made into half-year events.

Then give the production company a certain breathing space, which can also maximize the quality.

But here, it is still the same old way to change a super-popular manga like "Dark Engraved" into an animation... That is, it has been a long time, even if it catches up with the progress of the manga, it must be original and guaranteed to be updated.

I really can't stand it anymore, so let's go to the last episode.

In short, it cannot be broken.

This is certainly a good thing for animation audiences at the beginning, but when the time is prolonged, it is not a good thing.

Repeated delays, less content in each episode, erratic quality, etc... are common things.

The current animated version of "Dark Engraving" is in a similar predicament.

Why did the animation have the highest ratings in the week when the "Day of Reincarnation" linkage event was launched? This is because a lot of players saw the animation before the start of the standalone copy of the game.

Because I feel amazing.

Out of strong curiosity.

I went to watch animation.

And then... there is no more.

After watching the opening animation before the independent copy of "Day of Reincarnation", and then watching the serious animation version, it is like falling from heaven to hell...

At this time, it is strange that the audience can say anything good.

The producer announced that under the tweet with the highest ratings, all the players were venting their hatred for iron and steel...

but.

Regardless of the word-of-mouth of the animated version.

At least the fact that the ratings have reached a new high is not fake.

Everyone can see what has been obtained after "Dark Engraving" and "Day of Reincarnation" are linked together.

Let's just say it.

This linkage, whether obtained by the game party or the copyright party.

All very exciting.

Domestic counterparts witnessed with their own eyes that the "Day of Reincarnation" linkage event was launched because too many people recharged and caused server problems, and witnessed that the comic readers who came here because of the linkage became loyal players.

And the copyright owner just said that the soaring sales volume of "Dark Engraved" booklet cannot be hidden from practitioners at all.

And see such results.

What would these practitioners think?

very simple.

Started going both ways...

soon.

Xi Qianyu from the business department of Linmu Studio discovered it.

Then go to business negotiations.

At least to talk about ACG-related copyrights in Japan, the difficulty began to drop sharply.

most of the time.

She had just contacted the other party and revealed her name without even explaining the reason.

The other party will first perform a wave of what is called a 180-degree turn of attitude.

Anyway it is.

talk!

We can talk!

The authorization fee is easy to talk about, don't worry, just take your time...

Some smaller companies even started to lick Xi Qianyu.

Xi Qianyu, a big yellow girl, never encountered a dog licking in Linmu Studio.

On the contrary, in business negotiations with other companies, I frequently encountered licking dogs... I really couldn't laugh or cry.

But anyway.

This is also a good thing...

And the other side.

sky fox.

Li Guangsheng was the first to notice the change in wind direction.

It was precisely because he saw that the popularity of the game began to feed back the comics that he agreed to Mou Feng's request.

Because he knows it well.

At this time, the copyright owner was probably overwhelmed by the linkage performance of "Day of Reincarnation".

At this time to negotiate, the price is extremely small, and the difficulty is still small.

And under the promotion of Mou Feng.

They are also fast.

Of course, they don't have the same treatment as Xi Qianyu.

However, the respect that the copyright owner should give will still be given, mainly because Tianhu's second domestic title is still bluffing.

Second.

It's not going anywhere, right?

"Day of Reincarnation" can make "Dark Engrave" a higher level, so the second-ranked game company can always make its own work a higher level, right?

It is out of this idea.

Even in the face of Tianhu, the copyright owner is still enthusiastic.

Tianhu's linkage plan has also been promoted.

And follow up the negotiations with Tianhu.

soon.

Some things can't be hidden.

Because Linmu Studio is attacking across the board.

Tianhu is also the second child, and the targets are all high-profile popular works.

And such works are often in the plan of Linmu Studio...

So soon, Mou Feng learned the news.

Lin Mu Studio not only talked about "Dark Engraving" ... but also talked about many popular works.

heard the news.

Mou Feng put a question mark first.

Then he took a deep breath.

Not just "Dark Engraving"?

There are so many IPs?

Lin Mu Studio... What exactly do you want to do! ? conquer the world! ?

...

Linmu Studio is engaged in IP licensing competition.

Tianhu did not take the initiative to leak it.

Because it doesn't do them any good.

But it is foreseeable that "Day of Reincarnation" will maintain its current popularity in the future, and the value of linkage activities will be seen by more people.

Then more peers will join in and play this set of linkage.

And by then, it might be hard to hide it...

Forest studio.

Lin Yao also heard from Xi Qianyu that a domestic colleague had joined the copyright negotiation.

"So fast?"

Lin Yao was a little surprised.

She thought it would take at least a month before the colleagues would really make up their minds.

"I chatted with the staff of several companies, and they all know that the sales volume of "Dark Engraving" has increased a lot, and the popularity has also increased significantly."

Xi Qianyu explained: "It's not a secret that these are all because of the linkage activities, maybe it's because of this.

Considering that the negotiation will be more difficult in the future, Tianhu will join it so soon... The fact is also true. It is indeed much easier to negotiate now. Not only the harsh terms disappeared, but also the cost has been reduced by a lot. Big cut. "

"That's it... I understand."

Lin Yao nodded when she heard the words, and then fell into deep thought.

Although she was mentally prepared for this.

But it was beyond her expectation that a colleague joined them so soon.

She also thought of it... Linmu Studio's copyright competition cannot be hidden.

"Are you afraid of leaking?"

not far away.

Seeing Lin Yao's expression, Xi Qianyu seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"Leaks are certain, there is such a good example of "Day of Reincarnation", plus there are so many people staring at us."

Lin Yao came back to her senses, and smiled at her: "I'm already mentally prepared for this, but don't worry too much, as long as we don't tell ourselves, probably ninety-nine percent of people will never think that we will So bold.

Of course, if there are no accidents, we need to do something ourselves... This is what I was thinking just now, but you don't have to worry about it, just leave these things to the product department. "

"You guys have worked hard enough. Also, if I'm not mistaken, although the success of "Day of Reincarnation" will make a 180-degree change in the attitude of the animation and comic copyright owners in Japan, but it's the game's turn. IP, it is estimated that it will not be so easy, especially for larger companies and well-known IPs, it may be even more difficult to discuss than before.

After all, seeing how successful we are, it's normal to wait for the price, so you should be mentally prepared. "

When Xi Qianyu heard the words, she immediately straightened her expression: "I understand, I am mentally prepared, don't worry."

"That you're busy."

Lin Yao smiled at her again.

Xi Qianyu nodded, then took her leave and left.

Lin Yao watched Xi Qianyu close the door, then breathed a sigh of relief and stretched a little.

Then I thought about it and sorted out the messy manuscripts on the table.

Make room.

Then pull out a new blank drawing paper, pick up a pencil...

But she was in no hurry to write.

Instead, he sat on a chair, tapped his toes on the floor, and turned in a circle.

Looking for some inspiration.

After half an hour.

When Mu Wanqing walked in, Lin Yao was still spinning around...

She was a little funny: "Aren't you afraid of dizziness?"

"Um?"

Lin Yao came back to her senses, stopped turning around, and looked at Mu Wanqing.

"What's wrong with you?"

Mu Wanqing knew she didn't hear clearly, but she didn't ask again, but smiled gently.

"I'm looking for inspiration, Miss Mu."

Lin Yao put down the pencil and sighed: "Do you have any clue about the horror character?"

"..."

Without any hesitation, Mu Wanqing immediately shook her head: "No!"

"The answer is so fast."

Lin Yao was startled, and then said a little funny: "...But forget it, you don't seem to dare to watch horror movies."

Mu Wanqing came to Lin Yao's desk and retorted, "Who said that you lived at my house during the Spring Festival, didn't you see it?"

Lin Yao dismantled the stage: "You mean that bad movie you complained about for half an hour?"

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "...then you come to live at my house again, and I'll show you."

Lin Yao was noncommittal, but teased: "Torture yourself, and torture me, right?"

"So why do you suddenly think of horror characters?"

Mu Wanqing didn't ask any more questions, but pulled a chair from the side while asking.

"Cover." Lin Yao replied.

"Cover?"

Mu Wanqing smoothed the skirt along the upright, and while sitting down gracefully, she asked curiously.

"Well, look at the whiteboard next to it. We are engaged in an IP competition, so we can't just cooperate with the game "Samsara Day", right? These colleagues have to think about what we are going to do every day."

Lin Yao pointed to the whiteboard next to her.

Mu Wanqing turned her head and glanced at the whiteboard beside her, thinking of Lin Yao's words during the Spring Festival, she understood.

She stopped talking, stretched out her hand to gently stroke the hair on her temples, and then sat quietly watching Lin Yao paint.

Every day after things come to an end, she will come here to sit for a while.

Just take a break.

Lin Yao finished the animation before the two independent copies of "Day of Reincarnation" started under Mu Wanqing's watchful eye.

But it's a pity.

Lin Yao doesn't seem to have much inspiration today.

Although not in circles.

But holding a pencil, she has never been able to draw an outline on the drawing paper.

Just drawing messy lines aimlessly.

Mu Wanqing really couldn't help her in this aspect, she could only help her with his eyes.

The rustling sound continued.

Constantly sketching messy lines, Lin Yao still had no good ideas, and finally raised her head.

With a relaxed mood, she turned her head and looked to the side.

beside.

Mu Wanqing's slender and straight jade legs were close together, sitting upright, elegant and demure...

"What's the matter?" Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao with some doubts.

"...There is!"

Lin Yao sized up Mu Wanqing who was sitting gracefully, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she said, "say my name!"

"Huh?...Lin Yao?"

When Mu Wanqing heard Lin Yao's words, she subconsciously replied.

"...not my name."

Lin Yao put down the pencil, held the mouse, and opened the search engine.

Then, she pointed to the screen: "This, the classic monster in the classic comics of the 1980s! The bloodthirsty witch! Calling her name can bring misfortune, I have an inspiration!"

"..."

Mu Wanqing looked at the sexy girl named Bloodthirsty Witch on the screen, and then looked down at herself, and when she realized it, she smiled angrily.

She grabbed Lin Yao's soft face: "You imagine me as a classic monster, don't you?"

"Hey, don't pinch your face, it's just a coincidence..."

Lin Yao leaned back, trying to get rid of her hand.

Mu Wanqing puffed up her cheeks very girlishly, not letting her get rid of it, but holding her face and pulling her towards him.

"..."

...

finally.

Lin Yao still drew 'Bloodthirsty Witch'.

And in the afternoon.

Forest studio, conference room.

Lin Yao met Wang Mang, the head of Conglong Studio.

"Bloodthirsty witch?"

Wang Mang was stunned for half a second.

However, during this period of time, he also supplemented a lot of horror movies for the game.

So I quickly reacted: "The character in the comic of the same name? Catherine?"

"right."

Lin Yao smiled, and then handed her the manuscript that was drawn in the morning: "This will be the first linked character of "Dead by Daylight"."

Wang Mang took the manuscript and looked down.

on paper.

A well-dressed girl stands on the paper. She holds a paper knife and places it next to her red lips. With a distorted smile on her beautiful face, she looks at Wang Mang outside the paper.

It seems that as long as Wang Mang speaks his name, it will bring misfortune...

Wang Mang looked at the somewhat familiar 'Bloodthirsty Witch' on the drawing paper, but his temperament had changed drastically, his eyes lit up suddenly.

"How about it?"

Lin Yao asked a question.

"So cool!" Wang Mang raised his head and replied immediately.

"Then it's decided, let this character appear in the carnival! I will give you the relevant setting information later."

Lin Yao nodded, and continued: "Let me tell you about the characteristics of this character first. In my imagination, this character is an agility character. While shouting 'say my name' frantically, he frantically chases and kills other players. witch.

Every time a character is caught, she will force the player to say their name, and then get a speed bonus. In addition, give players the right to call their names or not, asymmetric confrontation, cooperation for survival, sincere cooperation, and shit-stirring sticks are interesting. "

"..."

Wang Mang's eyes brightened when he heard Lin Yao's words.

But soon he thought of something, and asked curiously: "But boss, didn't you say that there is no need to worry about the linkage characters? Why are you showing it now?"

"Well, it's mainly because "Day of Reincarnation" is too popular, and we can't hide the IP competition."

Lin Yao said helplessly: "At this time, we need a shield to come out. We have to let others know what we are doing with so many IPs, right?"

Wang Mang: "..."

...

May 3rd.

new month.

"Day of Reincarnation" is still killing people...

All the details of the linkage activities have been figured out.

Even some sand sculpture players have sorted out all the characters and their lines in the two newly added limited-time card pools.

What situation will trigger what lines.

How to trigger desired lines...

Players even do this for the sake of it.

For them, the new version can be said to have no secrets.

But players still haven't lost interest in the game.

On the contrary, because of the addition of a lot of two-dimensional players.

The second creation began to produce in batches...

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Everyone wants to see it.

Some big touches began to enter the market, producing more excellent second creations.

And the excellent second creation has attracted more interested players...

directly formed a cycle.

And the final result of this is that "Day of Reincarnation" has more and more players... This game can now be called the leader in the mobile game world.

Future store is a platform.

The number of downloads and comments of "Samsara Day" is four times that of "Tianhu Travels Mobile Game Edition"...

This is not the Jiaming Alliance.

After Linmu Studio bypasses the restrictions, users of Jiaming Alliance can also download games by themselves.

Such a pomp.

Who still can't see the benefits of linking games and comics?

So soon.

After Tianhu, another group of colleagues went to discuss IP.

And under the mixed fish and dragons.

Lin Mu Studio not only talked about "Dark Engraving", but also started an IP licensing competition, which was completely hidden.

Not long.

Someone broke the news.

and.

Because "The Day of Reincarnation" exploded during this period.

The major game media did not skimp on the space at all, and directly started to write special books!

[The "Day of Reincarnation" X "Dark Engraving" is not the end of the fire! ? Insiders broke the news that Linmu Studio is still negotiating IP licensing! It is reported that they still have authorizations for works such as "Useless Brave" and "Old Testament God" in their hands! 】

[There are also linkage activities? Lin Mu Studio was exposed and still held many copyrights! 】

[The purpose of Lin Mu Studio? The beginning of a new era? 】

【…】

Many related consultations began to bombard.

soon.

Anyone who is almost a player knows that Linmu Studio still holds a lot of copyrights.

Players are also excited.

They all began to speculate.

What is Linmu Studio going to do next?

For example, the game circle and the major special areas.

"Damn it!? You talked about so many IPs? What does Linmu Studio want to do? Engage in an IP arms race, right? Want to unify the card game market? Kill all your peers?"

"Probably not. I heard that these licensing agreements do not have exclusivity clauses. Although the specific details have not been disclosed, I heard that the people who broke the news were all colleagues from Linmu Studio, and they also heard from the copyright owner.

But they can still talk about the IP licensed by Linmu Studio..."

"Could it be that there will be a mobile game linkage event? What comics will be linked with next? "Useless Brave"? I'm getting excited!!!"

"Isn't it? Damn, although I don't know how many there are, but there are only four works that have been released!... I suspect that Lin Yao wants to make a big deal!"

"I think so, but what kind of flower work is it? Do you have any clues?"

"Like making a game that includes all the well-known characters?"

"Damn it! Did you confirm it upstairs? Really? How awesome it would be!"

"Stop dreaming, and accommodate all well-known characters... This is too difficult, impossible, how to do with so many characters? You have to know that this time "Day of Reincarnation" is only linked with one work!

Let's just say, if you really want to make such a work, what kind of work should you do? "

"That's right, it can't be done, don't dream upstairs. I think it's a mobile game and there is a linkage! I want to see "Jingse" in the game! Linmu Studio! Give me some help!"

"..."

Players' statements and expectations are varied.

but.

Probably because of the influence of "Day of Reincarnation".

Ninety percent of the players felt that Linmu Studio's move was to continue to engage in linkage activities.

And colleagues in Linmu Studio, of course, are also paying attention.

They also feel that there are linkage activities.

But as insiders, they also know that the number of IPs is a bit exaggerated. There are still four or five IPs? Is this planned to be linked once a month?

You must know that Linmu Studio only operates two mobile games.

And there is only one card draw mobile game!

so.

Most of the peers are a little suspicious.

Because I don't know what Linmu Studio wants to do, but I am more interested in what Linmu Studio wants to do...

even.

Be bold.

I really think some players are right, Linmu Studio just wants to make a game that includes all the well-known characters!

but.

They have no proof!

And Lin Mu Studio has never come forward to explain.

Whether it is a peer or a player, they can only guess wildly.

Then, as time went by, their guesses became more and more outrageous...

no way.

"The Day of Reincarnation" just exploded because of the linkage.

Now, I also learned that Linmu Studio has negotiated a lot of IP, but I don't know what they will use it for.

...that's really intriguing!
