Chapter 55 What is this?

The reviewer of APP STORE has never seen such a simple software before, and it is also known as a game.

The paid purchase system of "The Rest of Life" is completely open source code, and Apple provides references to various manufacturers. After removing several options, the other party just made it directly in the software, and did not even remove the original comments. It was said to be a game, but this file package that is only a dozen megabytes of size has a shadow of the game? It is all dense text, and the font cannot be adjusted because it is too troublesome to write code. The interface is not ugly, but the combination of the interface and other things is really bad. A game? Why does it take more than one million words of text to give two pictures, and they are all maps. This thing called the game has no music and sound effects... The auditor thought at first that the other party did not set the switch, but after looking carefully, he found that there was not even an audio file...

Dare to say that this thing is a game? Where is the gameplay? What does the profit model have to do with the game?

Guess what this game can pay for? There are three content options for 6 yuan: change the background color to gray, change the background color to pink, change the background color to beige with paper patterns. The 18 yuan level can activate the plot of the killer line without passing the level. Then, a 648 yuan level is set up like a joke. What is it? The purchase instructions say, "Since you think it's going to cost 648, it means you are not short of money. You can't buy anything in this file, but the software and text authors don't mind that it's too much money." The reviewer didn't know how much grass-roots ran away: Are you serious? This is definitely a complaint!

However, after roughly screening the software package and the text inside, and not finding any discordant content, the reviewer still generously released it. Such software has no functions, but there are no hidden dangers, right?

After "The Rest of Life" was launched, Yinye Company, Mingqian Company, and Yue Qingyan posted messages on their personal Weibo, and then the promotion and distribution were basically completed...

Anyway, this is a very complaining "game" but it is online after all.

For four and a half days, including the role of everyone's publicity and promotion, there are only more than 100 downloads in total. This is in line with the characteristics of this cold and unsure of what it is.

However, Peng Jinkang was not in a hurry. In fact, no one was in a hurry. Such an experimental thing would be good if it was done, and it would be normal if it failed. Moreover, even if it was downloaded at the first time, it would still take some time to digest the text of hundreds of thousands of words.

It was not until October that the download volume of "The Rest of Life" exceeded 1,500. But from this time on, the situation seemed to have changed considerably.

Nowadays, netizens have very strong communication and promotion skills. When they see some fun things, they always hope that their friends around them can share their interests. Whether it is Moments, single messages, Weibo, lofter, etc., or channels such as Tieba, they are quickly spreading the way everyone spends their time in daily life.

"The Rest of Life" has also become one of the most popular products. From around the fourth day of "The Rest of Life" on the third day of the release of "The Rest of Life", keen netizens realized the interestingness of this reading method, but a few people could not form a wave of communication. By mid-October, as the number of downloads increased, "The Rest of Life" finally got noticed. Several up owners who made short videos and new game experiences had reviews and experiences. Of course, this "game" is quite embarrassing to them. I really don't know where to start, and the picture is not very good, but the plot experience is really good.

Then, the game download volume quickly exceeded 3,000, 5,000... and it was still rising all the way. By the end of October, the download volume of "The Rest of Life" exceeded 10,000, and the payment flow also exceeded 10,000. To be honest, no one understands why there are still people paying for this game. Peng Jinkang himself said that this is really a ghost. Isn't this thing a change of skin? I unlocked the plot without finishing the first time I opened the plot line of the murderer written by Yue Qingyan, and I couldn't understand it at all. Not to mention, there are really boring rich people who bought 648. From the reading platform, this is not much like buying services, but more like rewards.

When Apple posted an official recommendation in early November, the download volume and payment volume could not be stopped. In less than a week, the revenue exceeded 100,000, and then a steep curve went 200,000, 300,000, 500,000, and 1 million...

"The Rest of Life" finally gained public recognition, but there are many different opinions on whether this thing is considered a game. At this time, it can show what role good relationships and connections can play.

Wenhui Daily first published comments about this polyhedral text written by several writers and critics in the SH area. Generally speaking, everyone thinks that this thing should be considered a novel: a novel whose reading method has undergone great changes. One of them said it was rather exaggerated, believing that the traditional novel model did not change much after entering the Internet age and the era of full electronicization. The change part was limited to the definition of reading experience, while the way of conveying novels such as "The Rest of Life" changed the novel from the reading form.

Then there was an exclusive interview with the Chinese version of GQ magazine. The interview was made by Lian Xingjie. The reporters and photographers who came to conduct the interview were all good friends of Mi Wu. When they returned to their favor, Peng Jinkang not only gave them a lot of real materials, but also promoted the entire team together. Although Peng Jinkang was the main creator and main program, he tried his best to explain that the creativity of "The Rest of Life" was changed to this form under the eyes of Yue Qingyan, and a group of brothers and good friends provided great help.

In addition to the various preparations, architectural models and other things that have attracted attention, the magazine reporter also went to Yue Qingyan's studio with permission. Fang Anxin's studio took some photos. Yue Qingyan had already shown a lot of faces before, and everyone suddenly found that the power gathered around this very successful author was quite impressive. Fang Anxin only asked the reporter to take half-body photos of her paintings, but did not reveal her disability problems. But her studio was really full of details, both professional and neat and spacious.

A very complete team interview with Peng Jinkang takes up 14 pages, which is considered very powerful in the entire magazine. Peng Jinkang is originally a handsome guy who is very eye-catching. After careful packaging by the magazine, he has become a literary star of the younger generation.

It’s strange that Peng Jinkang felt embarrassed: Why did he, a building student, suddenly become a well-known author? But it doesn’t matter. By the end of the year, the total sales of "The Rest of Life" had exceeded 2 million, and it was recommended by three rounds of APP STORE. But this software is actually quite shocking, and payment is still useless. The improvements made by polyhedral companies are nothing more than finding professional programmers to optimize the program, improving the page turn experience during reading, and increasing the adjustable picture brightness... That’s all. However, the English and Japanese versions of "The Rest of Life" are being translated. Spanish? Russian? German? These versions are directly authorized to local companies to be agents, and polyhedral companies only collect 10% of sales as copyright rights.

Then, Peng Jinkang held his energy and started to develop the second game. But for Peng Jinkang, the greatest significance of this thing was to have a place in the small team with Yue Qingyan as the core.

Yue Qingyan has been busy from summer to winter. In addition to a week or two, there will inevitably be a signing and reader exchange meeting, he also went to Hong Kong twice, which were the opening ceremony of two movies. He did not show up, but helped to sort out the scripts at the end. His novels were written very much like scripts, and it was useless. The scripts had script format examples and their own explanation logic. This is really not something that novels can replace.

It was exhausting to be away from SH for about 60 days in just six months. By early November, Yue Qingyan was in the office of Yinye Culture and called everyone to talk about things together.

Although Yinwen Culture is not very business, its influence in the circle has basically been established. Yue Qingyan's various reader exchange meetings were organized by Yinwen, and the sales of peripheral products were deeply mixed. This part alone has a considerable profit. After all, the momentum of "Yinying" is just the beginning. The Thirteenth Fleet book club did not disband with the end of the full series, but instead became increasingly stronger due to the meticulous and considerate operation services. "Yinying" online encyclopedia was launched, and the "Yinying" world creation plan was launched, "

Yinying's surrounding mall was launched, Yinying's fan collaborative center was launched, and even the "Yinying" theme cafe and restaurant were prepared. Some people also proposed to set up an "Isherlen Fortress" hotel, but because the militarized accommodation conditions were too harsh, the restoration and comfort were not enough to be taken into account. Just to operate "Yinying", Yinying Culture's team expanded to nearly 50 people, and had to use a whole floor of exposed offices to be able to install. However, the decoration details of the entire company can be regarded as a centralized restoration of Yinying's theme.

The most important thing for non-"Yinying" jobs is Kaka's "First Cloud". Its quality is excellent, and there are big shots in the circle and fans outside the circle. Since he is a disciple of "Yanhuo" and he is loyal to signing into the company with his teacher, not only the author's appointment, Kaka even transferred his work relationship to Yinbi Culture.

At the beginning, the Thirteenth Fleet wanted Ka Ka to attend the reader meeting to gain popularity. But Ka Ka thought it was inappropriate and refused. She did a lot of work in front of the horse and behind the horse. She wrote many copywriting, but she refused, but she refused, but refused to gain popularity, but let Yue Qingyan enjoy the glory alone. Everyone is also very concerned about Ka Ka. Now, it is said that "First Cloud" is already discussing the licensing issue with famous domestic film and television companies.

The entire decoration layout of Silver Pages looks like it is in the command center of Cos Starship or Isherlen Fortress. There is always an unrealistic feeling that makes people roll their eyes. But now, according to industry estimates, it is a rising star with an annual turnover of several million and a PE of 15 times that can be worth hundreds of millions. However, financing and listing does not exist.

It is rare for Yue Qingyan to go to the company, and it is even more rare for him to gather everyone in the company's conference room. Perhaps it is necessary to take some new actions, and all the participants thought so. Moreover, although there are all kinds of food and drinks on the conference table, the atmosphere is indeed a bit serious.
