Low Key Star

  Chapter 199【199】Thigh hugging

   Zhang Yang was going to Jiangning to film "Chrysanthemum Terrace" on Wednesday night, so the meeting with Su Cheng was scheduled on Tuesday night.

  Based on Lin Yiran's age, Su Hui is at least thirty-five years old, but if he only talks about his appearance, he looks less than thirty years old. Although Su Cheng is her younger brother, he looks older than her, with the mature demeanor of a middle-aged man.

  Zhang Yang called Lin Yiran's parents Uncle and Aunt, but it was a bit embarrassing to call Su Cheng, and he didn't feel ashamed to call Lin Yiran's "Uncle" directly, so he simply called him "You".

  Su Cheng didn't care about this either. After ordering the food, he got straight to the point and asked Zhang Yang why he was so optimistic about the mobile game market.

   Zhang Yang is not optimistic, he has seen it, but of course he can’t say it clearly, let alone be humble, because if he doesn’t have confidence in his own opinion, but instead tries to persuade Lin Yiran’s parents, there will be a problem.

He had thought about this question beforehand, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know much about games. I say I am optimistic about mobile games. In fact, it is more accurate to say that I am optimistic about the popularization of smart phones. Now home computers and personal computers are considered popular, but the distance between There is still a big gap between one person and one person, but after the popularity of smartphones, it is really possible to reach the level of one person. There are really hundreds of millions of potential mobile game users. With such a large market, it is necessary to do it in advance. Some preparations are never a bad thing."

Smartphones are undoubtedly a big piece of cake for game manufacturers. Su Cheng obviously paid attention to them. He thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, the global shipment of smartphones last year was only 40 million units. In the first half of the year, the shipment volume has basically been the same as last year, but even so, it is too early to say that it is popular among the people, right?"

There is not much difference in the total population of the two worlds. In Zhang Yang’s impression, the peak shipments of smartphones in his previous life were around 2016 or 2017, with a yearly shipment of nearly 1.5 billion units. Smartphones have been released for nearly a decade.

  In this world, last year, smartphones were only in their second year, and 40 million shipments belonged to a normal development stage.

"The price is too high. When you have a good experience of one or two thousand yuan, or even a thousand yuan phone, the smartphone will usher in a real explosive period, but it may be too late to start the layout at that time. "

  Su Cheng stared at Zhang Yang with great interest, and asked with a smile: "Then how long do you think the outbreak period you mentioned will come?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "How do I know this, but according to my own thinking, the peak period should be ushered in in two or three years at the earliest, and four or five years at the latest, when the global smartphone shipments should exceed one billion .”

  Su Cheng frowned, Lin Yiran was also taken aback by the number Zhang Yang said, staring at him, Zhang Yang smiled at her.

  Su Cheng smiled and said: "According to this, it should be a mobile phone, and what kind of game should it be?"

"Mobile phone investment is too large, without research and development, it is difficult to stand firm, but if you have funds, you can buy more Hongmeng shares, or inject capital. In other words, just take advantage of the explosion period and build a Assembling brands, focusing on cost-effectiveness is enough, and maybe they can also make a Fortune 500 company."

"I know it's a bit unrealistic to say this, but I do think that smartphones are the biggest change since the Internet appeared, and it may also be the biggest outlet in the past ten years. You must have investigated and understood smartphones, data or industry insights. In specific analysis, you know more than I do, so I won’t make mistakes.”

Zhang Yang didn't dare to talk too much on this topic, so he changed the subject with a smile, "I played some games before, when I was bored, I conceived a game myself, and I wrote it out two days ago, why don't you read it? Look?"

Zhang Yang looked at Lin Yiran, Lin Yiran had already seen the idea of ​​the game called "League of Legends" on the way, she didn't play games, and she didn't think this game was any good, seeing that Zhang Yang really wanted to show it to her uncle, The big eyes are wide open, revealing the look of "Do you really want to show him?"

"Oh?"

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing, obviously he didn't take it seriously, he got married relatively late, and now the child is still young, for a long period of time, he always treated his niece as his own, and treated Zhang Yang in many ways. Through understanding, I recognize his talent in music, poetry, and novels.

   But when it comes to making games... these are two completely different fields.

  But Su Cheng has a good impression of Zhang Yang. Even Zhang Yang's exaggerated talk just now didn't affect his impression of him. It's normal for a young talent to be a little arrogant. He smiled and said, "Then let me see."

  Lin still took out the document and handed it to Su Cheng. Su Cheng took it over and saw the words "League of Legends" printed on the front page.

  Game background: Runeterra planets, where magic is everything. Magic is not just an inscrutable concept of energy, it is semi-corporeal matter that can be channeled, shaped, shaped and manipulated…

   There are several continents in Runeterra, but all life is concentrated in the largest magic continent—Valoran...

  Su Cheng directly skipped this background introduction, and continued to look down. He saw the hero introduction and the floor plan of the Summoner Canyon. Although he only had a quick glance, he could feel that it really took a lot of thought to conceive, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

  However, for a game, this is not the core, so Su Cheng didn't care too much, and directly skipped to the game introduction later.

   The game is completely free.

  Props are charged, and the main charged item is the skin.

   Spending money will never affect the outcome of the game.

   Reduce the difficulty of getting started and emphasize teamwork.

   Form regional leagues in major regions of the world and hold global events.

Su Cheng raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yang, Lin Yiran was about to speak, Su Cheng lowered his head again, starting from the beginning, Lin still didn't quite understand what was so good about this game, but looking at his uncle's attitude, he also knew that he seemed to be at a low point in Zhang Yang's writing "" this game, turned to look at Zhang Yang, blinked and asked: "Do you really want to play this game?"

   Zhang Yang nodded, but Lin still pouted and rolled his eyes, obviously a little dissatisfied with his lack of business.

  The waiters began to serve the dishes one after another, but Su Cheng only looked at the game plan. Lin still asked him to eat first, but he ignored him. He just waved his hands and said, "Eat first, don't worry about me."

Zhang Yang was still a little worried that Su Cheng would not approve of the free model. Seeing that he was really watching it seriously, he was somewhat relieved. Seeing that Lin still stared at him and returned a handsome smile, Lin still kicked him under the table angrily. Zhang Yang kicked back her foot, she shrank her foot and gave him a proud expression proudly.

Su Cheng didn't notice the flirting between the two, but he realized that he couldn't move his chopsticks so much, so he reluctantly ate two mouthfuls and said, "You eat yours, you will be a family sooner or later, don't see outsiders... This is a good idea , I'll think about it again."

  Lin Yiran was a little shy when he saw what his uncle said, but he was more happy. He gave a flamboyant look and signaled us to eat first.

  While watching and eating, Su Cheng asked, "The heroes you conceived are good, but they seem a little too simple, and the equipment column only gives six, isn't it a bit small?"

   "The equipment column is to limit the late stage, and it is also for balance. In this way, even if one side falls behind, it will not lose hope. The six pieces of equipment in the late stage are full, so it depends on the lineup and coordination."

Zhang Yang explained earnestly, "Only by reducing the difficulty can we promote the league. The number of players is the foundation of the league. As long as the players are active, the benefits will naturally come. And many mechanisms are hidden. It is easy to get started, and you must be careful to master it." Researched."

"Human-machine, matchmaking, ranking, and Smash, there are four regular modes for players with different interests. In addition, some interesting modes can be launched regularly. Don't worry about this. The main thing is to make the game as soon as possible. Then promote it."

  Su Cheng thought for a while and said, "But it's free..."

   Shaking his head, he said, "Relying only on income from props is a bit too idealistic and too risky. Why not set a lower price."

   "As long as there is a fee, it is the threshold. Although the awareness of copyright is good now, it is mainly because the country cracks down on piracy. If it can be free, most people are still willing to enjoy free resources. If you want to run a league, it must be free."

   "Do you think the competition can be held?"

   "It's hard to say, but we must always work hard in this direction. If the game cannot be held, the game will be meaningless."

Su Cheng pondered for a while, and then asked again: "I am also an amateur in this matter, so I have to go back and discuss it with the people in the company... In this way, since we are a family sooner or later, let's not beat around the bush. If this game is feasible, do you want it?" Sell ​​it, or want to buy a share?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Of course it is a shareholding, but if you want to run a world league, you have to consider ideological issues. This is also the reason why many settings are based on Western backgrounds. There is also technical strength. I am not sure that your company can do it now." To what extent."

In another world, the fist company where the League of Legends is located is held by Goose Factory, and most of the shares of Goose Factory are held by foreign investors, many of which are successively acquired by Huaxia Enterprises. Ordinary people like Zhang Yang are dizzy.

  According to Zhang Yang's idea, if there is a risk of being suppressed by hegemony, it can also be avoided through similar methods. The proceeds can be distributed, and it is enough to firmly grasp the equity and control the decision-making power.

  The Su family was born in a traditional manufacturing industry, and later gradually turned to heavy industry. Although its influence is not as good as that of top giants such as Chu, Ge, and Jiang, it is also a traditional dignitary. It has been accumulated for generations, and its connections and energy cannot be underestimated.

   However, due to ideological concerns, Zhang Yang still wants to attract more people to join the team. The background is strong enough, and the next game promotion and competition system will be smoother.

  Of course, there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being. At least we must first reach a preliminary cooperation intention with Su Cheng before we can make specific plans.

  Su Cheng didn't make Zhang Yang wait too long. Two days later, while filming "Chrysanthemum Terrace" in Jiangning, he received a call from Su Cheng, saying that he had decided to "do it".

   Zhang Yang hung up the phone, and logically recruited Yang Mu to join him.
