Chapter 383 Is it really that important?
November 23rd.
There is still one day until Thanksgiving.
After Lin Yao finished the filming, as soon as she arrived at the studio, she went straight to the CG department, or more accurately, the imaging department.
During this period of time.
Although the organizational structure of Linmu Studio has not changed much, there are still some small changes.
For example, the CG group where Qi Jianhua is now separated.
They are not only responsible for CG now, but also for almost all promotional materials of the game.
Including the first appearance advertisement of this console.
"How is the material?"
Lin Yao came behind Qi Jianhua and asked.
"Very good, but the finished product will not come out so quickly."
Qi Jianhua turned his head and looked at Lin Yao: "Are you in a hurry?"
"Not really."
Lin Yao shook her head: "But you have to get it out this month, if not, you can outsource it."
Their department has been very busy recently, and Lin Yao is very clear about this matter.
"If the deadline is this month, then no."
Qi Jianhua shook his head slightly.
"That's fine. Are the other two games ready?"
"They've been ready for a long time."
Qi Jianhua nodded, then hesitated for a moment: "But Lin Yao, is Tomb Raider really going to release that amazing performance as a promotional short film?"
"Yeah."
"What a pity, this is one of the most amazing performances in the game. When I played it, my palms were full of sweat, usually half of it was fear and half of it was excitement."
"I know, but there's nothing I can do..."
Lin Yao shook her head gently.
There really is no way.
Although the completion mechanism has greatly accelerated the production progress and solved the personnel problem, it is impossible for Lin Yao to ignore the development of so many games.
Not only did she manage it, she was also busy and dizzy...
and when she came to her senses, it happened that Christmas was coming soon.
You know.
From Black Friday... that is, the last Friday of November, until Christmas, it is the shopping season in Europe and the United States.
Most of the goods, of course including games, will be particularly good during this period.
Many of Lin Yao's New Year's goods in her previous life were mostly sold during this period because of this.
The two 3A masterpieces of Linmu Studio were also completed during this period...
The progress was faster than Lin Yao imagined...
Much faster.
The games were completed just as Black Friday was approaching, and players' wallets were about to be emptied.
If they were not released at this time, they might have to wait until next year.
After all, players in Europe and the United States are one of the most important player groups, and this situation is unlikely to change in the short term.
And European and American players are unlikely to spend too much money on games.
If Linmu Studio's new games miss the shopping season, coupled with the impact of e-sports events and holidays at the end of the year, they might have to wait until April or May next year...
This is too long.
In addition, Zhang Jianghu is also urging them.
Their new consoles are completely exposed during the shopping season.
Their foundation is not as rich as the other two console manufacturers, and they can't produce very good works at all.
They can't compete with the other two.
So they called Lin Yao every day to ask if Linmu Studio could get the game out before the shopping season, and finally made a promise... As long as the game is out before the shopping season, they will help Linmu Studio distribute it in the Japanese market.
Reflecta has invested a lot in consoles.
They couldn't fail, so seeing the popularity drop again and again, and being completely unable to compete with the other two console manufacturers, they became anxious, very anxious.
Lin Yao was fine at first, but when she heard the other party's promise, she was immediately tempted...
at the beginning.
After she determined the way to deal with the Japanese manufacturer Peria, she contacted Zhang Jianghu for negotiation and reached an agreement.
According to the agreement.
Linmu Studio's two 3A masterpieces will be launched on the Vaporwave game platform and... Reflecta zodiac 1!
And Reflecta will promote the game and hold promotional activities on a large scale in the Japanese market before the release of Linmu Studio's console, and help Linmu Studio to deal with distributors in Europe and the United States.
This was the original condition.
Now with the addition of the Japanese market...
Lin Yao really couldn't help being tempted, so in the end she agreed to Zhang Jianghu to let Linmu Studio's two 3A products be released during the shopping season in Europe and the United States.
But even if she agreed, troubles came.
Because they had to catch up with the shopping season, if they were to promote slowly, the effect might not meet expectations.
Lin Yao could only make a big wave...
the kind that could instantly attract players' attention.
"Although there is no other way... but actually, it's not a big problem to do this."
Lin Yao stopped thinking and looked at Qi Jianhua again: "The game will not lose its appeal just because a clip is leaked. On the contrary, it may attract more players to be interested. Don't worry."
"...That's right."
Qi Jianhua thought of the demo video that was cut off from the beginning and the end, and felt that what Lin Yao said made sense.
Although it was a bit ridiculous...
"That's it. Now that it's settled, I'll prepare to send the promotional videos of the two games to Reflecta."
Lin Yao thought about it and made up her mind: "In order to prevent Zhang Jianghu from harassing me again..."
She hadn't finished her words.
The phone rang.
Lin Yao picked it up and took a look.
"...You see, when you mention the devil, he will appear."
Lin Yao sighed and answered the phone.
"Mr. Lin."
As soon as the phone was connected.
Zhang Jianghu's voice came out.
But there was no iconic laughter.
In the warm-up stage of this year's shopping season, Reflecta's console popularity and pre-order data were really terrible.
Zhang Jianghu was now exhausted physically and mentally, and he couldn't laugh at all.
Lin Yao knew what he wanted to say, and said first: "I know, the game will be launched on time, and the promotional materials will be given to you soon."
"That's good..."
Zhang Jianghu heard this and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "However, I'll be frank.
Although the game will be announced at your press conference, it will eventually be available on the Vaporwave gaming platform. After the game is announced, we will put it on the store page and it will be unlocked in three days." "I understand." Zhang Jianghu was silent for a moment and responded. In order to achieve the best publicity effect. This time, the two 3A games of Linmu Studio will not be announced on the Vaporwave gaming platform first. Instead, they will be announced at the Reflecta press conference. Afterwards, the game will also be unlocked in advance on the Reflecta console. This is the price paid by Linmu Studio. To be honest. Zhang Jianghu is actually gambling. Because of this agreement, many people in Reflecta think that it is not fair at all. It is not an exclusive game, but it is unlocked a few days in advance, but they have to help Linmu Studio promote the game and help them with the channels. Although the channels are not very difficult, how many consoles Linmu Studio can sell in the end still depends on them. How to promote and how to convince the sellers to put their consoles in a prominent position requires Linmu Studio to spend money and effort. But for many Reflecta executives, it was still difficult to accept only getting Linmu Studio. Zhang Jianghu also spent a lot of effort to convince the board of directors... because after the baptism of "Witch", he had a feeling that Linmu Studio's new game would be a hit... even if it was just to unlock the game in advance, as long as it was combined with Reflecta's overwhelming publicity and large-scale promotions on Black Friday, it would definitely attract a large number of players who wanted to play the game first. This was his intuition! Of course. This was just his intuition... no one could say whether this thing would succeed. If it succeeded. His voice in Reflecta would be further increased. If it failed, he would probably never be able to participate in the decision-making circle of Reflecta again. "That's fine, the promotional materials will be delivered later." Lin Yao was about to hang up the phone after hearing the other party's definite answer. "Wait." Zhang Jianghu quickly stopped Lin Yao: "Boss Lin, can you really not go to the press conference?" Lin Yao paused and said politely: "I don't have time, and isn't your press conference tomorrow morning in China? I can't make it." Zhang Jianghu immediately said: "What about China? We actually set up a venue in China! We can connect directly at that time. Do you have time in China? If you have time, please be there!" Lin Yao was confused: "...Ah?" No. ...Is it that important? Lin Yao couldn't help asking. Zhang Jianghu smiled, and then replied firmly: "As for it!" Lin Yao: "..." (End of this chapter)
