Chapter 110 Exhibiting Games

Why?

The answer is simple: to ensure the healthy development of the industry.

Whether it is traditional sports or e-sports, they are both very expensive things.

Traditional sports are supported by the state, while e-sports cannot do without the support of large companies.

But countries are different from companies. If they want companies to actively participate, they must find it profitable.

Increasing visibility only gives them a reason to participate, but no company will accept the reality that its teams are losing money every year.

When they find it difficult to support themselves, they will quit without hesitation.

In the long run, it will be very detrimental to the development of the industry.

Spreading out the profits from the sale of broadcast rights is mainly inspired by some traditional sports projects to share some cost pressures with teams and clubs.

As for cooperating with local companies and giving up profits appropriately, the main consideration is that strong dragons cannot defeat local snakes.

If games want to develop abroad, they must rely on the help of local companies.

The most obvious lesson from this example is Blizzard's "StarCraft 2".

When "StarCraft 2" was about to be released, Blizzard and South Korea's local e-sports association Kespa had great differences over the ownership and control of the interests and control of the peripheral e-sports industries of StarCraft 1 and StarCraft 2.

Blizzard wanted to control all StarCraft-related competitions, but South Korea refused. After the release of StarCraft 2, Kespa continued to hold its own StarCraft 1 events and ignored Blizzard at all. In the end, the popularity of StarCraft 2 in South Korea was far lower than expected.

Whether it is said that Blizzard is too strong or that its benefits are attractive, at least this incident can reveal the importance of establishing good relationships with local companies or organizations.

If a little profit can be exchanged for the booming development of the industry, and everyone can make a lot of money together, it will not be a big loss for Chenxing.

After all, the original intention of e-sports is to maintain or increase the popularity of the game, and making money is secondary.

After listening to Lin Muchen's explanation, Guixue finally understood: "...Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say. But I think it's not good to split equally. Some clubs may deliberately deduct players' salaries.

benefits, reduce operating costs, and just focus on making money."

"I suggest that the R&D department create a special team popularity index algorithm and distribute it according to proportion..."

"We also have to participate in the formulation of players' contracts. We can't ruin the pot of porridge just because of a mouse dropping..."

After a second of silence for the second department, Lin Muchen nodded: "Just do what you said."

......

After sending Guixue away, Lin Muchen began to deal with the mountains of documents.

In the past few days, I was only paying attention to the competition, and I didn’t have time to deal with some company matters.

After the game, there were a lot of things going on in the company.

For example, it’s time to launch the Star Hunting Plan that we have been preparing for.

Fairy Star walked in quietly, jumped onto the desk, and rubbed his hand holding the mouse affectionately.

Lin Muchen touched it and then continued to check the email.

Most of the mailbox contained trivial chores, which were easily dealt with. There was only one more important email, which was sent by Huaguo Game Network, inviting him to participate in the Top 100 Awards.

It’s just that he remembered that he wasn’t notified by phone to participate in the award ceremony. Why did it become an email this year?

Fortunately, he checked his mailbox, otherwise he would have been ignored.

Just when Lin Muchen was about to reply to the letter and inform him that he was going to the award ceremony, he suddenly remembered something.

"Is there a game exhibition after the Top 100 Awards?"

He remembered the scene when he met Lu Luoxin and others last year, and immediately called the girl with black stockings and cat ears.

"I remember you said that Terraria is almost finished, and I'm going to give you a place at this year's top 100 game show to showcase your game."

Lu Luoxin was startled and asked cautiously: "Is this...really okay?"

The scene from last year is still vivid in her mind, and she really has no confidence.

"Why not? Do you have no confidence in me or yourself?"

Mainly because I have no confidence in pixel games... Lu Luoxin silently complained.

Last year they were just a team and no one cared about them. If they go this year, they will represent Chenxing.

In case the game's reputation is not as good as expected...

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Lin Muchen deliberately provoked her: "Are you scared? What happened at the exhibition a year ago that was ignored by no one, just passed like this?"

"If you accept your fate, then you won't go if you don't want to go. It doesn't matter!"

How could Lu Luoxin not hear it? Lin Muchen said that on purpose, but the unconvinced energy in the young man's heart suddenly emerged: "Who said I'm a coward? Just go, no one is afraid of whom."

Isn’t it just embarrassing? No big deal!

Besides, it’s not certain who will be embarrassed this time!

Lin Muchen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, your family will prepare as soon as possible. There is no need to show the whole game. Just make a trial version first, plus a brief promotional video and actual machine demonstration...

There is still some time before the exhibition starts, so hurry up and prepare."

......

Yang Tao looked at the report and put his hand on his forehead: "So, the players don't buy it?"

The newly promoted head of the e-sports department nodded nervously: "Our "Reverse War" and "Gun Battle Heroes" have announced the news to the public, and have also started audition registration, but with little effect."

In fact, not many people signed up at all.

If based on the current number of teams, they wouldn't even have to compete in the top 16.

It is obvious that the players of these two games are not interested in competitive matches at all.

Moreover, "Gun Fighting Heroes" was turned into this by Yang Tong, and "Reverse War" is going further and further on the road of PVE.

This will be awesome if it attracts players to sign up!

But he only dared to mutter these words in his heart and did not dare to say them out.

Yang Tao doesn't know what his subordinates are thinking. Now he is just thinking about how to run the game.

After all, the notice has been sent out. How embarrassing would it be if the competition had to be suspended because there were not enough people to participate?

Does the Chinese gaming leader still need the face?

At least in form, the competition must be held.

"Can you use some small gifts to attract players to sign up?"

"...You mean to send some physical gifts? That would exceed the budget. But you gave me an inspiration. We can send virtual items, such as artifacts when signing up for the competition."

Yang Tao's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, implement it immediately!"

This is undoubtedly the best way at present, which can not only increase the number of people signing up to participate, but also reduce expenses and increase the popularity of the competition.

Kill three eagles with one stone!

Yang Tao was quite pleased with the compliments from his subordinates.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Tong Hao walked in.

Yang Tao motioned to his subordinates to go out first, and then asked in a slightly unkind tone: "What's the matter?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Yang Tao's tone, Tong Hao did not dare to be dissatisfied at all, but tried to squeeze out a smile: "I heard about the news that Chenxing will exhibit a stand-alone game at this year's game expo!"

Yang Tao frowned.

The last time he spent 200,000 yuan to buy false information, he still vividly remembered how his company spent a lot of money to promote his opponent. He was currently skeptical of some of the information Tong Hao told.

"Are you sure?"
