Chapter 10 Direction of the New Game

After screening and negotiation, two anchors finally reached a cooperation agreement with Tianba Games.

The two anchors offer reasonable prices, and their fans are active and sticky. They will broadcast "Study Simulator" for more than 5 hours in the next week.

The average amount per person is 50,000 yuan.

This money is not paid in one lump sum, but a deposit is given first, and the money will be settled after the promotion target is completed, that is, after the 5-hour live broadcast task.

Once you spend the money, you have to see the results.

At Chen Ba's urging, the two anchors did not delay and soon found an excuse to play the [Study Hard Simulator] during the live broadcast that evening.

All I can say is...

Almost every anchor who has this level of fans, and is a gaming anchor, has his or her own specialties and skills, and the program effects are top-notch.

For example, one of the female anchors is a very "violent" player when playing games. She is often so angry at her stupid teammates that she slams the table. The audience also likes to see her defense break down and then edit it into a video.

It was obvious that she hadn't done it on purpose at first.

But later, after discovering that the audience loved to see her break down, she quickly seized on this point, turning it into an effect for her own show, and slowly accumulated a huge number of loyal fans.

The other male anchor has a rather special style. He is the type of person who loves to act funny, but plays games very seriously and likes to immerse himself in the plot.

Each of them has their own program effects, and the live viewing experience is very good.

In addition, the game "Study Hard" itself is a kind of game with relatively good live broadcast effect, so with the promotion of these two people, the number of downloads has once again reached a new peak.

“Wuhu!”

Chen Ba and Yang Dong were staring at the live broadcast room while the other was keeping an eye on the background data.

After noticing that the number of game purchases and downloads increased rapidly due to the hard work of the two anchors, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

“There should be several thousand copies, right?”

Yang Dong said uncertainly: "As long as we can increase the sales of our game by 10,000 copies, it will be pure profit."

"We can see a little bit now, but it's hard to say after tonight."

Chen Ba shook his head.

The sales growth brought to the game by a well-known anchor was clearly felt on the day he started live streaming.

But the later the time goes, the more difficult it is to judge the part of sales growth. Which part is the traffic directed by the anchor and which part is natural growth?

Therefore, their criteria for judging whether this promotion is successful is also very simple, just looking at the sales growth in the 24 hours from tonight to tomorrow night.

If sales increase by more than 10,000 copies within 24 hours, combined with the game's pricing, they will have recovered their promotion costs and made a small profit.

More than 10,000 copies?

That means making huge profits!

Both anchors have their own games, so it is impossible for them to always play [Study Simulator].

So after they finish the live broadcast for an hour, today's promotion task is completed.

During this one-hour live broadcast, the two anchors probably attracted more than 2,000 new players to the "Study Simulator".

The number is not exaggerated.

But this is normal. After all, they are still broadcasting live at the moment, and many people are still watching the live broadcast and have no intention of buying the game to experience it for themselves.

After they go off the air and these viewers have nothing to do, they will probably think of "Study Simulator", take a look at it out of curiosity, and then decide whether to buy it or not based on their mood.

What's more, these two anchors have dedicated recording and segmenting UP hosts, commonly known as "recording men". After the recorded video is released, the influence will continue to spread.

So the sales volume will increase, and there will definitely be another wave later, but I don’t know how much it will be…

"Brother Dong, go to bed first."

Seeing that it was too late, Chen Ba felt embarrassed to let Yang Dong stay up with him, so he simply let him sleep in the next room.

That’s right!

Because Yang Dong was not a native of Jiangning, and the studio rented by Chen Ba was of a decent size, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and two bathrooms, which could free up two rooms to be used as dormitories, so he moved in and lived with Chen Ba.

Eating, living and working together is not something difficult to understand for many startup game studios.

Zhang Xiaojuan doesn't live here because she is a girl and a native of Jiangning.

Under normal circumstances.

In a studio like Tianba Games, a few big men can squeeze into a room, two people in one room, and the rest is more than enough for office use and game development.

"It's still early. I can't fall asleep even if I want to." Yang Dong shook his head.

"Okay then, let's chat?"

After taking out two cans of soda from the refrigerator and handing one to Yang Dong, Chen Ba smiled and said, "How come you, a Zhonghai native, went to a second-tier city like Jiangning to study at a university and look for a job?"

"How should I put it..."

After taking a sip of soda, Yang Dong said with a complicated expression: "If I say it's for love, will you laugh at me?"

“No way!”

Hearing the word love, Chen Ba seemed to be touched by something and sighed: "Who among those of us who are still single at our age doesn't have a rough love history?"

"You also..."

Yang Dong gave Chen Ba a strange look, and then asked, "I forgot to ask, where is your hometown?"

"Banzhou! It's far away, right?"

Chen Ba smiled, as if recalling some memories, and said, "Our place is nothing compared to an international metropolis like Zhonghai. It's surrounded by mountains..."

“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never been there.”

"If I have the chance in the future, I'd like to visit your hometown. I heard that the scenery is beautiful with clear water and mountains!"

"Of course. I've been out for so long, and I've never seen a place more beautiful than my hometown."

Talking about his hometown, Chen Ba said with pride and helplessness: "It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't keep people. For people like me, what else can I do except farming when I go back?"

"That's true!"

Yang Dong nodded, then asked, "Like me, did you choose Jiangning University for a girl?"

"That's about right."

Neither confirming nor denying, Chen Ba said ambiguously: "Before I went to college, I had never left this city in my life. The outside world is too unfamiliar to me."

It doesn't matter where you go to college.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Anyway, as long as he gets admitted to university, he will be the only two college students in the village, second only to the village director's eldest son.

It just so happened that at that time, a girl who made his heart beat said that she wanted to go to Jiangning University, so for some reason he filled in Jiangning University.

"Then what?"

Yang Dong was so excited listening to the story that he didn't even bother to drink his soda. He asked curiously, "Did you get together later?"

"No, she repeated it."

It was like a cold joke. Yang Dong's expectant expression immediately turned into speechless after Chen Ba said this.

"You... are too outrageous."

Yang Dong was not in a position to comment on other people’s experiences, and could only summarize them as outrageous.

He also told his own story.

It turned out that he had a girlfriend, whom he had been dating since high school. They agreed to go to college together, and they actually went to the same university.

But this kind of campus romance usually ends in a mess.

Yang Dong was no exception, but he could never let go of the person in his heart, so he stayed in Jiangning after graduation, just to be closer to her.

"Fuck, lick...cough cough!"

Chen Ba, who was about to speak his mind, coughed, holding back the last word, and then persuaded: "Isn't it really necessary? If you can't let go, why did you break up in the first place?"

"Who knows about love?"

Yang Dong said with a lost look: "I also tried to let her go, but I found that I couldn't do it. Maybe this is what is called obsession!"

It's really a tangled mess! Chen Ba is not a party to other people's emotional experiences so it's hard to comment, but he does feel that Yang Dong's love is too humble.

But since the other person was happy, what else could he say? He could only wish him all the best! After clinking soda bottles and talking about their respective "rough" love histories, Chen Ba felt that this topic was too heavy, so he changed the subject.

"New game, I plan to continue with the simulation type, what do you think, Brother Dong?"

"You are the boss, you have the final say."

Yang Dong had no objection. He had a very positive attitude anyway and would do whatever Chen Ba said.

But he also had a question.

"Is it still the style of Study Hard Simulator, with a tear-jerking plot?"

“That’s about right!”

Chen Ba admitted: "The new game project is probably the second generation sequel of the hard study simulator, but this time it is under someone else's roof."

"Living under someone else's roof simulator?"

When Yang Dong thought of this name, his expression froze.

What is going on?

You studied hard in front of the window, and now you live under someone else's roof. Can't you just hope to be the protagonist? Are you really going to die on this path of misery?

"Ahem, this is called a unique style."

"Each game studio has its own areas of expertise and themes. Our Tianba Game Studio has taken this kind of bitterness style to the extreme, and it may be able to make a name for itself."

When you think about it, it’s true!

Although Chen Ba's reason was not very convincing, Yang Dong thought about it carefully and found that it made sense.

The biggest fear of a startup game studio is that it tries everything but does nothing well, and does not have a fixed group of player fans.

Chen Ba chose to go the path of misery, which is very strange, but if every game under his brand can sell as well as [Study Simulator], he will definitely accumulate a large number of loyal fans who love this kind of games.

With a fixed group of player fans, this studio has established a firm foothold in the gaming industry and made a name for itself.

When I make new types of games in the future, it won’t be as difficult to get started as it was at the beginning.

So this route is feasible!
