Chapter 153 Siege of Guangmingding!
Is the game produced by Jingyue going to win an award?
This is so classic!
Lu Ming glanced at the award ceremony time.
February 24,
Fortunately, it's still February.
Lu Ming pondered for a while and decided that if there were any happy events, they would all come in February!
Anyway, the hope for settlement this month is getting less and less!
However, Lu Ming still didn't understand.
Do these two games have a chance of winning awards? This world... is becoming increasingly unethical.
Confirm the time with Lin Xiaoxiao again,
Lu Ming planned to ask Zhou Yizhou to go with him.
Next up, it’s time to plan for March!
What type of game should I play next time?
Lu Ming leaned back in his chair and tapped the table.
The sun was shining in through the window and the office was quiet.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the date on the computer.
Time to think about a new project!
Several key words flashed quickly through Lu Ming's mind.
"Development? Too slow."
"Competition? The cost is high, but I don't have any ideas yet."
"Tower defense? ...Does anyone still play pure tower defense these days?"
"Casual games? They don't cost a fortune!"
"Horror? It's worth considering, but it's not yet been studied."
Lu Ming held his chin thoughtfully.
This game is getting harder and harder to decide!
The bigger the stall, the more things to consider!
Lu Ming rubbed his eyebrows.
Inspiration is really a metaphysics.
Especially after experiencing the reverse popularity of "More Than Sunny Days",
He is now becoming increasingly confused about whether something is popular or not, or whether it is good or not.
I was expecting bad reviews, but why did it all turn around?
What else can you trust? Planning logic? User portraits? Market data?
fart.
These things are useful, but sometimes they are ridiculous.
It's not like he hasn't done player surveys before.
Lu Ming leaned back in his chair and sighed.
"Okay, let's just not think about it."
"My mind is a mess, there are no golden ideas."
"Or... let's go see a movie."
He casually opened the video website Doujia and entered a keyword:
[Top 100 lowest-rated movies]
Inspiration comes from collision!
Sometimes, the collision process can also provide some inspiration from other people's failures.
And bad movies are a very good choice!
Then, the first thing that appeared in front of him was "Return of the Ruins", a movie about the period of the Conferred Gods in classical mythology.
There are so many stars on the poster that it is so luxurious that it makes people dizzy.
Almost all of them are A-list stars, and they can take center stage on the red carpet at film festivals.
So many people made a bad movie.
Then I have to study hard.
Five minutes after clicking on it, Lu Ming began to doubt his life.
Ten minutes later, Lu Ming felt that any documentary he could find would be more interesting than this.
After patiently reading for half an hour, Lu Ming slowly closed the computer and remained silent for a full thirty seconds.
"This thing...it costs over a billion..."
"The rating is around 3..."
"It also won the most disappointing film of the year"
"This director and investor are talented!"
How much scolding will this get!
Lu Ming lowered his head, thought about it, and felt a little envious.
If Jingyue transforms into a film and television company and makes one or two bad movies, would it be worth it?
After all, everyone loves to play crappy games, so can everyone also watch crappy movies with a smile?
But think about it...
wrong.
Movies are so complicated!
Besides, there are people who really like to watch bad movies!
There are a lot of comments on Weibo saying that Tiantian brother is so handsome and has great acting skills!
Even the movies are burning real money in terms of box office and distribution.
Even if you make a "deliberately bad" one, you still have to pay for actors, set-ups, and post-production...
As a result, once it was ridiculed, the box office was completely ruined and no money was recovered.
How much investment is needed?
What if people don't even want to watch it, don't even want to scold it?
Or, what if a bad movie is released and the audience starts to scold the director and the leading actor?
Wouldn't that be like making wedding clothes for others?
Moreover, in the film industry, there are too many directors and stars involved, and Lu Ming knows nothing about them.
It is too risky to cross the bank directly.
What I inherited was not a money-losing system!
"This industry is still too risky. The risks are much higher than gaming."
"You really can't get carried away and cross over."
Let’s just focus on making games first.
…
The next day, Lu Mingwan arrived at the company more than an hour later.
I watched too many bad movies yesterday and didn't sleep well last night.
Just as I sat down, there was a knock on the office door.
Lu Ming came back to his senses and shouted, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a figure peeked in cautiously.
Then he slid in completely, in one smooth motion.
It was Zhou Yizhou, wearing a gray down jacket and a scarf around his neck, looking like he had just gotten off a high-speed train.
"Mr. Lu!"
He took off his scarf and smiled brightly.
"Didn't you say you'd take me to the awards ceremony? I'm here early!"
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "You are quite proactive."
“It must be positive!”
"This is the first time our company has been double-nominated!"
"Xiaoxiao has already given me the invitation letter and the process sheet. I'm still looking forward to it!"
Lao Zhou put the envelope directly on the table.
Lu Ming took the envelope, flipped through two pages, and before he spoke,
Zhou Yizhou suddenly lowered his voice and approached mysteriously:
"By the way, Mr. Lu, I also brought some inside information."
"You know the Beishan studio, right?"
Lu Ming frowned: "I know Beishan."
"That 'Xiantu' is theirs, and I think they announced a new project a while ago."
"Yes, it's called 'Sword Embers Island'!" Zhou Yizhou nodded and continued,
"Mr. Lu, I received news that this is a survival game similar to Battle Royale!"
"It's a bit like a martial arts competition, with all sorts of light skills and direct weapon confrontations. We even hired a team of action directors to create realistic combat feedback. That cost a lot of money!"
Lu Ming paused.
A Jianghu-style battle royale game
Several key words flashed through his mind:
Lightness, sword flashes, breaking through the air, blood splatters on the rubble, yellow sand rolls down, and the sword hisses.
Real swords and guns, cold weapons clashing, sparks flying in the martial arts world!
This game seems to be having a go!
Isn't this the siege of Guangmingding?
He murmured, "That sounds like something."
Zhou Yizhou nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, they've got a martial arts leader in this game! They even have a leaderboard. I think this game is going to be a big hit!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but imagine the scene.
In a dilapidated temple, with a pot of wine, two men confronted each other, and a rusty knife was used to kill each other by lamplight.
In an ancient tower, he flew through the forest with light skills, a cold light flashed across the shadows, and a hidden sword with fragrance.
The leaderboard rankings are constantly updated, the weather changes suddenly, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
This is indeed very Jianghu!
“Has the launch date been set?”
"The plan is to launch it in more than two months, maybe in late April or May."
"Early May? May is good, everyone gets five days off at the beginning of May!"
“Is it large-scale?”
"I heard that they've already invested nearly 600 to 700 million yuan, and the cooperation platform negotiations are almost complete."
"It seems they wanted to cooperate with us Deep Blue before, but for some reason they didn't follow up."
Lu Ming nodded, his face expressionless, but he tapped the table with his fingers.
If you choose Deep Blue as your partner, you must be aiming for that 1% share.
It is understandable that there is no cooperation, as Jingyue and Beishan are competitors.
They must have their own considerations.
"...This Beishan, the momentum is really big this time!"
"Yeah, they're anxious too."
Zhou Yizhou sighed.
"This time they're definitely aiming for a blockbuster project. In my opinion, this game has the potential to become a phenomenon like For the Tribe!"
“It’s going to be a hit!”
