Eighteen years ago, musician Li Tian transmigrated to Earth and became a minor actor. After enduring forty years of hardship, he finally became a veteran actor. Due to an accident, Li Tian returned...
Over the years, Wang Yong has often filmed movies in remote and desolate areas.
He believed everything Li Tian said; indeed, strange things often happened in these remote places.
"Fortunately, nothing unusual happened during the later stages of filming. Don't make a fuss about this; just let it go!"
Wang Yong knew that Li Tian was right to do so, and said, "Yes, you're right. There are gods watching over us, so we should always maintain a sense of awe!"
After experiencing time travel, Li Tian also developed a sense of awe towards these strange and unusual things.
The two did not continue the conversation on that topic, but instead started talking about the new drama.
The wrap party has ended, which means that filming for "Swordsman" is now complete.
The next day, Li Tian flew back to the capital with the film crew.
Upon returning to the capital, Ye Lan immediately came to visit.
Seeing Ye Lan, Li Tian was not surprised; his whereabouts were no secret to this man.
"Didn't you say you'd only be filming for three months? It's almost Dragon Boat Festival and you're only just getting back!"
Li Tian looked at Ye Lan's resentful expression and smiled, saying, "What's wrong? Missing me?"
Ye Lan gave Li Tian a flirtatious wink, since there were no outsiders present.
"I've already prepared the workbooks. Now it's up to you to be enthusiastic. Study hard and make progress every day!"
Li Tian put down the thermos cup filled with goji berries and said, "Alright! Looks like I'll have to do my best today and try to get a perfect score!"
…………
After handing in the assignment, Ye Lan did indeed give Li Tian a perfect score of 100.
Ye Lan, her voice slightly hoarse, said, "Your suggestion last time pleased the old man, and he has now tacitly approved of us being together!"
"Yeah?"
Li Tian looked at Ye Lan in his arms, somewhat surprised.
"Really, you don't need to look at me like that. The commoners are already in a very passive position. The drawbacks of free-to-play games are getting bigger and bigger."
"Many people online are now calling for the cancellation of free-to-play games and a return to the subscription model, arguing that free-to-play games are more expensive."
Li Tian had long anticipated this, but the idea of abolishing "Super Melee" was just wishful thinking.
It's important to know that both the five major families and the commoners now control shares in Blue Sky Games.
In this situation, trying to censor Super Smash Bros. is nothing short of wishful thinking.
"And as you said before, the game was full of promotion of the ideas of being a budget-friendly and free-to-play game, and now all players know that this game was developed by the budget-friendly team."
Li Tian came up with this plan on a whim.
"Hmm, the populist faction must be having a headache now, right?"
Ye Lan smiled slightly and said, "Right now, the commoners want to give up 'Super Melee' but are unwilling to give up the profits they have. So they are in a dilemma."
"Hehe, isn't that even better? With the big shot of the common people protecting us, we can just sit back and count our money with peace of mind!"
Ye Lan nodded and said, "You're right. This game is really a golden goose right now. Yesterday, it earned 50 million in just one day. That's 50 million Canglan coins! Last time, the box-opening event earned nearly 200 million in one day. It's crazy to even think about it!"
"We must keep this a secret and not let anyone know that we are the real owners behind this game!"
"Yes, don't worry about that, these are all people I trust! By the way, do you think we should also change 'Audition Online' and the newly developed 'Honor of Kings' to this mode?"
Ye Lan genuinely saw that this model was very profitable, so he also considered developing two other games.
"No, having this one goose that lays golden eggs is enough; there's absolutely no need to modify the other two games."
"Alright then!" Ye Lan could only give up helplessly.
"We're going to launch the public beta for those two games simultaneously during the Dragon Boat Festival!" Li Tian instructed.
"Hmm, do you think we should adopt a referral system?"
Li Tian shook his head and said, "No need. Since we've chosen to make this game free, let's make it completely free and purely free."
"But isn't there still a shop?" Ye Lan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You mean those outfits and skins? That's different. These things don't have any attributes and won't break the game balance!"
"Furthermore, since Super Smash Bros. has been given to the commoners, your five major families can take this opportunity to promote the game and let the people know what a truly conscientious game is!"
"Hiss~ You're right, how come I didn't think of that? Okay, I'll discuss this with the old man!"
Ye Lan also admired Li Tian's idea. If this matter was handled well, it could indeed win over a lot of public support.
"Well, that's all I can do to help you!"
"Do we still need to give shares to other people for these two games?" Ye Lan asked.
"No need. Since it's a free game, it definitely won't make too much money, and the other five major families won't be envious!"
"Furthermore, the revenue sharing from Super Smash Bros. is already enough to satisfy their appetites, and we can't keep feeding them like this, otherwise it will give them the mentality that they can keep getting something for nothing!"
After listening to Li Tian's analysis, Ye Lan felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
Giving them a stake in Super Smash Bros. was already quite generous; no one would complain if they kept both games for themselves.
"If anyone is really dissatisfied, they can develop their own game. The free-to-play model is already established, so they can totally create their own!"
"Yes, you're right!" Ye Lan completely agreed with what Li Tian said.
