Chapter 389 Can it really be fun?
"Here's the list, boss."
At 11 o'clock in the morning.
Lin Yao met Nie Hui.
This tournament director who was always thinking about his crappy bonus at the beginning. He
has matured a lot during this period.
His long hair was cut short, and his impetuousness was swept away.
Because just a few days ago, he got married.
"Come to think of it, I haven't wished you a happy wedding... Happy wedding."
Lin Yao took the list from Nie Hui's hand, then glanced at him and suddenly said.
"No, it's just a wedding, and the boss has sent the red envelope, so it doesn't matter whether you congratulate or not."
Nie Hui waved his hand.
Although he said it didn't matter.
But his performance didn't seem to be indifferent at all.
His mouth was about to smile crookedly.
His face was full of sweetness.
Lin Yao shook her head and ignored him, looking down at the list.
This is a list of players with relatively high popularity in the MOBA league.
As for why such a list is needed...
It is mainly because the league of the MOBA project was successfully established, but the effect did not meet expectations...
This is also expected.
Although Lin Yao has experience, she also has ideas.
But it is still too difficult to complete the journey of LPL for nearly ten years after the establishment of the league for only half a year.
The mid-year invitational in July was very successful.
Thanks to the experience gained from the "Breakout" event and the participation of overseas teams, there were many players watching the game in the end.
But jumping from the big game to the league.
Playing games almost every day.
The audience is not quite used to it.
Although the number of spectators in the first quarter of the league is not bad, it is not too high, and the commercial performance is also very average.
Lin Yao summarized her experience of watching the game in her previous life.
In the end, she felt that it was because there were no star players and famous clubs that players could remember.
After all, there was only one domestic team that could show up in the mid-year invitational...
and she was considered an old LPL audience.
Probably since the time when WE mastered Raiden.
She knew very well that the LPL could finally succeed, which had a lot to do with those old clubs and giants, and also had a lot to do with star professional players.
So in this world game.
With multiple domestic teams participating.
Lin Yao planned to give as many teams and their core players as possible exposure opportunities.
Of course.
It's not to create a god...
I just want to use the popularity accumulated by the e-sports festival in the past two years, as well as the derivative content and social media interaction, to make more players remember the team and players, and then become interested in them and watch the league.
This is the purpose of her list.
And on the list.
Are the best performers in the summer season, and the players whose teams have entered the world championship.
"That's it. You should say hello to the club."
Lin Yao glanced at the list and found no problems, so she handed it back to Nie Hui: "In addition, are there big obstacles to the alliance coordinating the distribution of interests of the entire league and issuing league rules and regulations?"
"Not bad."
Nie Hui took the list back, hesitated for a moment, and replied; "At least there is no opposition on the surface, but it is not clear in secret... Although this summer season did not meet the initial expectations and failed to obtain large-scale commercial cooperation, we are groping, the club is also groping, and everyone can still keep calm."
"Okay."
Lin Yao pondered for a moment: "Then you follow the plan first. The studio is very busy now. After the studio's work is over, I will focus on the league."
"Okay."
Nie Hui nodded, and then said: "Then I will go to the film and television department if there is nothing else. Some promotional videos for the world game are being produced."
"Go."
Lin Yao nodded, and then stood up after Nie Hui left.
Next, she had to go to the host product department to take a look.
...
Just when Lin Yao went to the host product department to ask about her own host.
On the other side.
In North America.
The three console manufacturers... started a fight.
Peria and Hardcore didn't expect
that the day before Black Friday.
Reflecta, which was doomed to fail, would suddenly fight back.
And the one who cooperated with them to fight back would be Linmu Studio, which has a lower foundation than the big manufacturers but has become famous recently!
The other two console manufacturers have thought about the possibility of cooperating with Reflecta.
But Linmu Studio had always said that it was making consoles, so they ignored it.
Who would have thought that
it would turn out like this in the end.
What exactly happened, Peria and Hardcore are not sure yet.
The only thing they can be sure of is that
Reflecta found Linmu Studio.
They really found the right one!
Of the three games announced by Linmu Studio, let’s not talk about “The Witch”.
“Tomb Raider” and “Battlefield” are definitely works at the level of escort masterpieces.
First of all, the subject matter is fresh enough.
One has a female protagonist, and the other is a World War I theme.
And they just happen to have shooting elements, especially the latter, which really fully meets the preferences of European and American players.
In addition.
Their promotional videos... are really damn good.
“Tomb Raider” directly uses real machine pictures to show a thrilling climbing journey.
And “Battlefield” is even more excessive, combining sound and picture with sharp editing, which is completely aimed at the G-spot of European and American players...
In this case.
Even if the game has not yet come out and the specific quality of the game is still unknown, they must cheer up to face Reflecta.
They also know that Reflecta is gambling.
Just like Lin Yao’s previous life, Xbox One lacked a first release and could only bet on Titanfall 1.
If the quality of the game fails after large-scale publicity, Reflecta may lose all its money.
But what if the quality of the game explodes and is really popular?
You know.
Now the promotional video of "Battlefield" has received millions of likes.
So no matter what, they can only accompany Reflecta.
And Linmu Studio's "Battlefield" and "Tomb Raider" not only caused the three major console manufacturers to fight...
Many overseas game companies, especially large companies, also pay special attention to these two games.
The shopping season is not just about consoles.
Games will also be promoted during this period.
Many large companies will also release their flagship works or sequels of their flagship masterpieces during this period.
Among them, guns, cars and balls are the most mainstream themes.
After all, Christmas is a traditional Western holiday.
And every shopping season, the best-selling shooting games are the works of the two major companies, Dreamland and Gibbs.
Every year, these two companies are fighting each other.
But this year, there was an accident.
In the middle of the game, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared - Linmu Studio's "Battlefield".
"A war?"
Frank, the president of Gibbs, frowned while holding a crystal glass.
I really don't understand this game company from the East.
During this period.
The Vaporwave game platform has become one of the channels that cannot be ignored.
Gibbs can't do it.
Frank has also been following the company that created the Vaporwave gaming platform.
And he has been following it for so long, and the conclusion he came to is.
Every time.
They really can surprise everyone every time.
Last time's "The Witch".
He didn't understand, and it was hard to say.
But this time's shooting game is the theme he is most familiar with.
But even if it is the theme he is most familiar with, Linmu Studio can make it different.
That is... World War I.
This is a theme that no game company has touched, or there has been no similar masterpiece.
But the question is.
This theme... Can it really be fun?
This is a theme that neither Gibbs nor Dreamland touches.
After all, it is World War I, a battlefield like a meat grinder, with a mess of back and forth tug-of-war, not to mention trench warfare and cross-trench charging, the average battlefield life of each soldier is only a few minutes...
How can this be shown?
Can it really be made fun?
Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry...
