There are many cases of shady operations in the gaming industry, including crowdfunding games that ran away with the money, and PV frauds that resulted in the finished product being shattered.
It doesn't matter if you do these things. It's a scam, and players' money is the easiest to scam. The worst that can happen is that you can change your username and start a new life. It won't affect your future.
But there is one thing that must never be done - that is to offend the Seven Stars of Donghuang.
Donghuang Seven Stars has a huge influence in the MCN world. To offend Donghuang Seven Stars is to offend the entire gaming industry's public opinion circle.
This is not as simple as being led by a marketing account. If you offend Donghuang Seven Stars, you can forget about making money with your game.
There was once a big boss in the industry who formed an iron triangle: "good reputation", "making money outside the circle", and "bad relationship with Donghuang Seven Stars". You can only have two of them at the same time.
If you want to have a good reputation and make money, you must have a good relationship with the Donghuang Seven Stars and you have to go and pay homage to them.
There was a boutique company that hadn’t won any domestic awards for its games in the five years since its debut. After Donghuang Seven Stars invested in it, it won both the CGN and Golden Controller awards in the second year.
Similarly, if you have a good relationship with the Donghuang Seven Stars, or even become a member of the Donghuang Seven Stars system, then you can only choose one between reputation and making money.
Because all the money was earned by Donghuang Seven Stars, if you also want to earn money, you must use some means to ruin your popularity. If you want a good reputation, it is equivalent to being drained of blood.
Although helpless, this is the situation.
So when Chen Ya rejected Cai Zhenyi, most people were surprised, and some people even called him a fool on the spot.
If Donghuang Qixing is willing to extend an olive branch to you, you'd have to be crazy to reject it without a second thought.
If you are unwilling to be a good "friendly competitor", then you can only be a loser.
The Donghuang Qixing machine slowly started up on the day of Qingming Festival, targeting a new company.
Soon, a rumor spread in the MCN circle: "Don't accept any promotion tasks from Beichen Company."
When this news spread, all the MCN companies were shocked. They all asked, "What kind of company is Beichen Company?"
No one has heard of it.
This is normal, because when Luan Qingying was looking for promotion, she used the most primitive method, which was to directly connect with the content creators.
He looked for content creators in related fields on his own, and contacted those with good writing skills and creativity. He never assigned any tasks through MCN.
As a result, many MCNs naturally do not know the Beichen company.
Then, the second message was secretly sent to some MCNs. This message is very familiar to everyone - "Try to discredit "Sheep" for me."
…
"Oh no, Brother Ya."
Luan Qingying trotted along and handed the phone to Chen Ya: "Someone is madly criticizing our "Sheep and Sheep"."
"Don't be nervous, speak slowly." Chen Ya said.
Luan Qingying pointed at her phone and said, "The 'I Love Mobile Games' official account I contacted before published a post saying that our 'Sheep' is a rubbish game that can't be completed."
Chen Ya took the phone and looked at it. Luan Qing continued speaking quickly in English:
"The comments below quickly became flooded with followers. It's obvious they're being manipulated by the internet troll army. How could there be so many comments after this article was just published?"
Chen Ya put down his phone.
Gu Yuqing frowned and sighed, "It must have been the work of the Donghuang Seven Stars. You rejected them so bluntly that you pissed off Cai Zhenyi."
Cai Zhenyi appears to be young and handsome on the surface, but he is actually narrow-minded. Gu Yuqing has been dealing with him for such a long time, so she naturally knows what kind of person he is.
Chen Ya crossed his arms and thought for a while.
When he heard that some people were collectively criticizing "Sheep", he almost laughed out loud.
Does "A Sheep" still need to be criticized?
"Brother Ya, what should we do?" Luan Qingying's face was covered with sweat and she was a little anxious.
"Don't worry about it." said Chen Ya.
"ah?"
"I said don't worry about it." Chen Ya said, "Let them do the dirty work."
"But... this is not good for our game, right?" Luan Qingying said.
"If they don't cheat, the players themselves will cheat." Chen Ya said, "This official account obviously didn't find the right black spot. Don't worry, it's fine."
"Oh." Luan Qingying was still a little skeptical.
After he left, Gu Yuqing pinched the flesh on Chen Ya's belly and whispered in his ear:
"Are you really going to take no countermeasures?"
Gu Yuqing's breath was as fragrant as orchid, making people's ears itch, and the fingers she pinched on her flesh were naturally because he acted too calm, which made Gu Yuqing want to beat him up again.
"No need," Chen Ya said. "Besides, I can't do anything to counter it. The company's account is empty."
Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing couldn't help feeling discouraged.
We have no ammunition left, what’s the point of fighting?
Chen Ya stretched, stood up and said, "The peak period for game data will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There's no point in keeping an eye on it today. Let's go out for dinner first."
Gu Yuqing stretched out her long legs wrapped in black stockings, rubbed her sore muscles with her hands, and said angrily, "You are so careless."
"Just a little bigger."
…
Chen Ya drove and took Gu Yuqing to the club to eat private dishes. Gu Yuqing said she wanted to go for a drive, so Chen Ya drove her to the suburbs of Beijing.
As they ran, they passed by the bar where Chen Ya had protected Gu Yuqing. Gu Yuqing insisted on coming down to take a look.
It was only afternoon and the sun was shining brightly, so naturally there were not many people in the bar. The two of them walked around inside and came out. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Chen Ya.
