Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

Along with the competition screening, the first batch of teams to participate in the Overwatch offline city competition also appeared.

During this period, Lin Yuan not only accompanied Feng Shuyun to practice shooting, but also arranged the event work. He did not go to the city in charge to do it himself, but when communicating with third parties, it was Lin Yuan who personally provided ideas. and ideas.

In this case, it is not too much to say that he did it personally, right?

As for the arrangement of the offline city competition, Lin Yuan decided to focus on several provincial capital cities. A total of 28 cities were selected, eight first- and second-tier cities as the main competition area, which was also the final offline competition location.

Finally, of course, it was the Magic City venue. It was originally planned to be located in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but Tianyou wanted to join in. Considering that Tianyou's help could expand the event, the national finals were held in Magic City.

The bonus for the first place is very generous. Everyone, the bonus of 8 million is really a lot. As a game event bonus, it is already ridiculously high. If Nanxing had not been doing a good job in paying taxes, then Los Angeles would still be I really dare not let Nanxing set an eight million bonus without investigating.

Everyone knows some things, but it is not convenient to discuss them in detail.

As Nan Xing's activities became more and more intense, Nan Xing's logo appeared in several big cities in China, such as the competition stage that was gradually taking shape.

cybercafe?

Of course, Nanxing will not let players compete in Internet cafes. Feng Shuyun is not that stingy. If Lin Yuan wants to do it, then he must make it big!

For this reason, several first- and second-tier cities, including Nanxing, have set up home stadiums for competitions.

Magnificence and splendor are the main themes, coupled with the epic feeling of Overwatch, the venue is not to mention how well designed it is.

Naturally, these places cost a lot of money. After estimation, the team in the company felt that an initial investment of about 300 million would be needed. However, if the event is successful and attracts capital, it will be very profitable.

For example, these built home stadiums can be rented by Nanxing to clubs and become their competition venues. Even if no one rents them, they can also become official OW venues. There is a lot of profit from buying and selling tickets.

But the prerequisite for all of this to work well is that the game must be a hit.

If the game is not popular, then everything is empty talk.

But isn’t the game popular right now?

It's so hot

It has not been launched overseas yet, and the copyright is being discussed.

But now there are more than 20 million domestic users, with daily active users reaching up to 7 million online. This number has made Overwatch the most popular online game of the year.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about traffic and users. What Nanxing must do right now is to hold good events!

Lin Yuan is still quite worried about this.

Because FPS games are inherently inferior to MOBA games in terms of competitions, the first-person perspective is too disadvantageous to watch. Let alone passers-by understand the game, being able to avoid dizziness in the first-person perspective is considered a success!

So, ob team, Nanxing really has a long way to go right now!

——————

At the end of June, in the hot summer, the Overwatch City Championship officially started.

Qualified teams and contestants flocked to their respective regions from all over the country.

The three teams of Nanxing also became two teams. The Nanxing Boss Team and Nanshan Game Team were successfully promoted.

As the popularity of the event becomes higher and higher, some live broadcast platforms have also seen traffic, because the start of offline competition means that it is a formal competition. The audience no longer has the opportunity to see the event, because the game China will no longer provide team battle videos for players to watch and download.

Moreover, Nanxing has invested a lot of money in this event, and the venues built in various places are enough to prove Nanxing's determination. They are not just playing for fun.

Therefore, starting from June 27, some live broadcast platforms have approached Feng Shuyun, hoping to purchase the live broadcast rights of Overwatch.

Broken Station even hopes to be able to broadcast it exclusively, hoping to buy the exclusive live broadcast rights of Overwatch.

Platforms such as Douyu, Miaoya, and Douyin have also participated, and they have the same idea as Station B.

But in the end, Nanxing did not let Overwatch buy out the live broadcast, but gave each platform the broadcast rights. The selling price was of course not as good as the exclusive buyout, but it was able to maximize the traffic.

This trick was learned by Lin Yuan and Riot Games. If the event is to be held well, except for the finals, the rest of the events must be broadcast as widely as possible. The finals are not used because the audience will go there by themselves. Find resources for the finals, while ordinary events need to be well run.

After all, players and audiences cannot pay attention to the game all the time, so how to enable players to discover more events through various channels and click in to watch is the most important thing.

Because of this, Nanxing finally sold the broadcast rights to multiple platforms at a price of 6 million a year.

In this regard, Douyu and Miaoya proposed to purchase it directly for three years, but of course Feng Shuyun refused. She didn't understand business but she was not a fool!

After Overwatch holds events all over the world, the popularity of the game will only get higher and higher, and the live broadcast price will also become higher. 18 million for three years, it’s a beautiful idea!

But compared to the 800 million yuan used by Station B to buy out the exclusive live broadcast rights of the LOL Global Finals, this price seems a bit low.

But now Overwatch has just debuted and the league has not yet been established. It can be sold for 6 million a year, which is already a very good price.

To put it bluntly, each platform believes in Nanxing's ability, and the current traffic of Overwatch is indeed exaggerated.

As for the future exclusive copyright, with a price of over 100 million, whether it will be exclusive or multi-platform will be the buyer's business. It depends on whether the buyer is willing to distribute to other platforms. It has nothing to do with Nanxing.

In addition to the live broadcast platform purchasing the live broadcast copyright, the e-commerce platform has also found Nanxing, hoping to become a sponsor. At the same time, there are also some domestic sports brands that are preparing to use high sponsorship funds to become sponsors.

But Nanxing refused.

Lin Yuan did not want the involvement of capital parties in hosting the tournament for the first time. Although he and Feng Shuyun both loved money, Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun both wanted the money they could get. Too much involvement of capital would only make the league worse. The environment is chaotic, but the formation of the club is still necessary.

Therefore, Nanxing did not care about some real estate developers and brand owners who found some teams and recruited players to form teams.

But Nanxing has also formed a team, which is a team dedicated to serving Nanxing e-sports. This team will manage the competition area, referred to as Xingjing.

Lin Yuan does not want Overwatch's domestic league environment to become an environment like the later LOL. If it really becomes an environment like the LPL, then the league can be directly integrated.

Therefore, Xingjing has great rights. It will personally manage the competition area, directly manage the players and even the club. Southern Star would rather reduce the profit of the competition area to gain greater rights. This is Lin Yuan's idea.

Whenever there are sports betting and match-fixing situations like LPL, just take people and get out of here, there is nothing to say.

Damn it, do you think that Nanxing holds Overwatch competitions and expands the competition area just to make money from Overwatch?

No matter how well Overwatch is organized and no matter how popular the competition is, can there be as many Pokémon as one hair?

The reason for holding the event is simply to hope that the game can provide more happiness to the players and allow the game to operate in the longer term. If you really want to make money, then Nanxing has been working hard to develop the 2077 copyright and Pokémon copyright.

The world's most valuable IP is not just a boast. Let's not talk about the issue of cashing out. The IP of future generations of Pokémon is worth US$59.1 billion. What is this concept?

Therefore, if it is for money, Nan Xing can just run Pokémon honestly, so why do he have to do so many things?

That’s enough Pokémon to feed Nanxing for a lifetime!

And days like this passed little by little.

During these times, the two participating teams from Nanxing failed to make it to the end. After entering the top 64 in the country, the strength of their opponents became stronger and stronger.

Even if Lin Yuan's team has super players like Lin Shushu, facing a top anchor team, former professional players and even current FPS players who have moved to Overwatch teams will be shattered at a single touch.

After all, there is only one master in the team, Lin Shushu, the rest are diamonds, and Xu Xiao is only in the platinum rank. Of course, the Southern Star boss team cannot go far.

The further you get to the back, the more masters there are. Masters are nothing at all. Their team is all masters, and they have more training time than the Southern Star boss team. How can the Southern Star boss team win?

The same situation applies to Nanshan Games, and what's even worse is that Nanshan Games was eliminated by yjj's team. That team claimed to be a new team led by the elderly. The team members were - Tinker Bell, yjj, pigff, JamLee Lao Li

But being able to enter the top 32 is considered a good thing.

As we go later, the competition becomes more formal. Starting from the top 32, there are no longer multiple teams competing at the same time in one day. This is also to facilitate the live broadcast platform to broadcast the event.

From then on, no one would say that Nan Xing had a shady story.

Because the distinguished Nanxing boss team, the team led by the boss, they fell to the top 32!

And the top 32 don't even get bonuses. Is there a shady secret behind this?

Soon, the time came to mid-July.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In Los Angeles, even wearing short-sleeved shorts these days will be unbearable.

Just crack an egg and put it on the curb, and the egg will be cooked for you in no time.

Therefore, in such weather, Feng Shuyun naturally wore cooler clothes, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and six-quarter pants, which gave her the image of a homely girl. As the weather got hotter and hotter, Feng Shuyun also became less fond of it. Dressed up.

Even if she puts on makeup, no matter how good the makeup is, it will smear her face and make her feel uncomfortable. She simply ties up her hair and shows off her plain face every day. The main thing is to take advantage of her good conditions.

And in the past few days, Feng Shuyun and Lin Yuan have even been too lazy to go to the company at all. They stay at home every day to watch the live broadcast of Overwatch matches, or listen to the reports of the employees below, living in an air-conditioned room. world of two people.

This situation also made Li Lin couldn't help but come to the door.

“Welcome~”

Lin Yuan greeted Li Lin and handed him a pair of unopened slippers. Li Lin put on his shoes, said excuse me, and walked into the house.

The room is fully air-conditioned, the air conditioner is turned on to 21°, and the layout of the room is also very warm.

It was completely different from what Li Lin saw when he came here before, but it was normal.

Lin Ce used to live with his sister Lin Shushu, but now he lives with his girlfriend, so the situation will naturally be different.

The small table in front of the soft sofa was filled with snacks and soda. The boss was sitting in a corner facing the sun and watching a movie. He held an opened bag of potato chips in his hand and watched the movie while eating.

Seeing Li Lin come in, Feng Shuyun turned to look at Li Lin and nodded.

Lin Ce, you and your boss haven't been to the company for four days. Li Lin complained as he walked in.

Aren't you in the company?

Li Lin was a little speechless after hearing this. Yes, he was also very proud of his status as the third leader of Nanxing, but the problem was that he was not a manager!

Now he is asked to handle all the big and small affairs of the company. He is a technician doing these things, which means that the boss and Lin Ce have big intentions!

Lin Ce, I am a technician, not a manager. Now I am asked to handle all the company's affairs. What is this?

It's okay anyway. Isn't there only one project in the company now? The rest of the departments are running very well. Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Of course Lin Yuan knew the reason why Li Lin came.

yes.

Nanxing’s second game this year is ready!

How is it going?

It's okay, but some places are difficult to set up. It can't be implemented nationwide. It can only be used in some cities first. Traffic light intersections and dangerous places in various places are also reported. Li Lin sat on the sofa and took a sip. Cold Sprite said.

Lin Yuan nodded and asked: What about the time arrangement and the rarity of the elves?

Everything is done. My first thought is that the peak time for elves to appear is around eight o'clock in the morning and around four o'clock in the afternoon. This time point can well meet the schedules of some office workers and students. Especially office workers.”

What about rarity?

Most rare elves will be announced in the game when they appear, but some rare elves will not be announced, and the time of appearance is uncertain, and the probability of appearance is extremely low. The longest refresh time is 90 days. Li Lin said.

Since the team he led was eliminated, Lin Yuan has arranged a new job for Li Lin.

He had taken a break for a while. After all, during this period, Li Lin practiced shooting and played for a while every day.

So as soon as he was eliminated, Lin Yuan arranged a new job for him.

Well, you can guess it from the above conversation.

That’s right, it’s a mobile game that interacts with reality!

Pokémon Go!

This is also a bold attempt by Lin Yuan.

Although Nanxing’s approach to using AR technology for real-life interaction is a bit crude, if this idea is announced, it will definitely cause a nationwide sensation.

We have stand-alone games and we have online games, so how can we not have mobile games?

Nanxing is gradually seizing the domestic game market!
