Chapter 420: Your own e-sports event!
After walking out of the Internet cafe, Lu Ming stood on the coastal embankment of Lu Island, staring at the sea in front of him in a daze.
Seabirds flew across the sky in the distance, and tourists ran along the beach.
The sun is shining, the sky is clear, and the air is so moist that even your mood should be fermenting a soft taste.
This was supposed to be a relaxing vacation.
Lu Ming pinched his eyebrows and let out a long breath, as if to drive out the depressed mood in his heart.
But the wind came from the sea, making the corners of his clothes rustle.
And blew the air back again.
Lu Ming looked at the current emotion value on the system panel.
It is impossible to reach 100,000 in a short period of time and redeem inspiration echoes.
We can only pray that Lao Yao doesn't encounter any problems.
He had originally hoped that "Forgefront" would enrich the emotional value.
Fortunately, Lao Yao was given a speed boost.
But now, in a short period of time, he can only rely on himself!
Who would have thought!
The cooperative model has become a seasoning.
Trying again became a routine after failure.
Although the gameplay and operation of this "Forge Front" are not particularly creative,
But Lu Mingyuan thought that it would be no problem to use this to harvest a wave of emotions.
never mind,
"Since we're here..."
These days, we really can’t underestimate players’ tolerance for self-abuse.
Thinking of this,
Lu Ming simply sat down on the bench, bought a young coconut, inserted a straw and drank it slowly.
The cool coconut milk slid down my throat, suppressing the irritability a little.
Since negative emotions cannot be squeezed out temporarily, just adjust your mindset first.
You have to enjoy the scenery, keep in good mood, and keep doing the work no matter how difficult it is.
…
Ten days later,
Jingyue has resumed normal operation.
Lu Ming was tanned in black.
Colleagues from the Development and Operations departments were busy as a group.
The Spring Festival game "Forge Frontier" has become a phenomenal game.
Mainly during the Spring Festival, this game held several good activities and the atmosphere among players was very active!
On Lu Ming's desk,
There are still a bunch of data tables on display, trend analysis, social media sentiment summary, UP host live broadcast statistics...
There are also various modes of participation,
These were all brought by Lao Zhou.
Lu Ming took a quick look and immediately lost interest.
All of them are rising and praising. It’s so exhausting to read these!
Lu Ming rubbed his eyes in frustration and was about to bury himself in the next round of development planning.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Lin Zhi held two cups of brown sugar rice cake flavored coffee that she had prepared herself.
With his other hand holding a stack of new documents, he walked in with small steps.
"First...put the things down first."
Lu Ming quickly reached out to help her.
Lin Zhi took a breath and spread all the information on the table.
"Go ahead."
"What new ideas do you have?"
Lu Ming looked at Lin Zhi and knew that she must have some constructive ideas.
After all, Lin Zhi is busy with business every day.
She usually makes her own decisions on small activities.
Since she has prepared so many things to come to him this time, she must have some big ideas.
Sure enough, Lin Zhi flipped through the documents on the table and said seriously:
"Mr. Lu, I think we can get into e-sports."
"What?"
"Esports! Mr. Lu! It's an esports event that belongs entirely to us, Jingyue!"
As she spoke, Lin Zhi pushed the thick stack of documents in her hand over.
It seemed like they had been preparing for several days and had been waiting to report in person today.
Lin Zhi slowly spoke,
"Mr. Lu, I know you're not particularly interested in traditional esports. After all, you didn't mention expanding the scale of the Lemon Candy LTD Challenge!"
"But, Mr. Lu! Things are different now. Look at how popular it is now."
"The activity rate of Forgefront's PVP mode has been increasing!"
"Especially during the Spring Festival, players spontaneously organized several informal matches."
"There are also several streamers who are already doing separate series, which have attracted a lot of players to participate."
Lin Zhi tapped the cover of the information lightly with her fingertips, as if to cheer herself up, and also as a hint to Lu Ming to "listen to me."
Lu Ming held the coffee cup and stared at her without saying a word.
He knew that when Lin Zhi was excited, she had to finish her words in one breath, otherwise she would take them out of context and start to doubt her life.
So, Lin Zhi leaned back in her chair, but her voice became more and more powerful:
"Mr. Lu, this isn't just a spur-of-the-moment idea. You know, all the big companies are researching esports right now..."
"It's not just traditional tracks like gun battles and MOBAs. People are also working on business simulations, card games, and even casual games."
"If you just browse the platform, you'll see that last year there were at least seven or eight PVP-focused games that were loudly promoting the idea of esports."
"But what was the result?"
“Not many have succeeded.”
"Either the gameplay is too fragmented, the content is too commercial, or players just don't buy in. None of them have lasting vitality."
"Why?"
"Because they're pushing esports from top to bottom...spending money on setting up teams, hiring professional players, forcing the tournament process, and outsourcing the hosting of competitions."
“This model has long been out of work!”
"Today's players don't buy into this."
After saying that, she reached out and pulled out a report from the pile of documents.
It says:
Whale Leap Esports: An Integrated Incubation Model Starting from Players
"And we are different."
She stared at Lu Ming, listening to every word.
"Mr. Lu, from the very beginning, none of our projects at Jingyue have relied on advertising to generate hype. Instead, they've grown slowly through spontaneous discussion and dissemination by players."
"Be it 'The Imperial Decree of the Ming Dynasty' or 'Forge Front'..."
“It has been proven that this model can work!”
“We have a really good player base!”
Lin Zhi took out her tablet and flipped through some data.
"Mr. Lu, I've been looking at the data for the past two weeks. Take our recent 'Forge Front' for example. There's a lot of discussion about 'confrontation,' 'tactics,' and 'profession' in these high-frequency terms!"
"We just need to follow this trend to preserve the e-sports ecosystem that has already formed spontaneously!"
"This is something that many game manufacturers find difficult to achieve!"
"Think about it."
“Forgefronts is a game that offers a unique tactical experience.”
"The Blacksmith's restriction mechanism, the coordinated pressure of resource flow, on-the-spot communication, and the dynamic operation are simply a library of materials prepared for the event."
"Moreover, we can edit multiple angles for each game, and the editing alone can support the entire live broadcast."
"Add to that the strategic reversals caused by the extreme instability of PVP..."
“It must be very entertaining!”
"Look further back, and take a look at the events held by Lemon Tang's "Great Ming Decree"! They have real data!"
"After all, they have already held one city race."
"It can be said that we have achieved both data and confidence."
“Although it’s an RTS, it’s not old.”
"On the contrary, because the factions are so different, the rhythm is clear, and the play style is distinct, there is an innate sense of faction substitution."
"Every city has players, every faction has fans, and players naturally feel a sense of belonging."
"Combined with our previous layout of the player community, the Deep Blue game platform, and the Floating Shore Experience Center, we can achieve universal participation and integrate online and offline activities, which will save us a lot of trouble!"
"So, Mr. Lu, our Whale Leap Universe is so huge, and we have so many game IPs...it's hard not to be popular!"
After Lin Zhi finished speaking, she took a deep sip of coffee and drank it all in one breath, as if she had finished what she wanted to say.
She looked at Lu Ming with a determined look in her eyes.
Lu Ming lowered his head and stared at the pile of materials in front of him.
To be honest, he had thought about this idea before.
But before, it was delayed because of the moral debt system.
But now, if I can just collect my emotions,
Then we will select some suitable e-sports projects from these games of Jingyue.
Indeed, it is possible!
After all, all the key bottlenecks had been cleared before Jingyue.
What experience center, player community, community atmosphere, gameplay mechanism...
These are all on-site.
It would be unacceptable not to do it!
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and had an idea in mind.
"Can!"
"Then do it."
Lin Zhi's eyes lit up:
"real?"
"Aren't you making suggestions?"
Lu Ming smiled.
"Then I'll accept your suggestion!"
"I'll have Old Zhou cooperate with you and coordinate the events for 'Forge Front' and 'Ming Dynasty Decree'!"
"However, if you want to create a respectable esports event, relying on just one or two games is definitely not enough!"
