Cannon Fodder Genius Game Producer

At 8 o'clock in the evening, when the 10 series of instant noodles in "Super Evolution Era" were pushed at the same time, and one hour later they were pushed to the top of the hot search list by users who were enthusiastically discussing, everyone really felt clearly that Pei Shu was in the The idea of ​​simultaneous IP development during the game development period has really succeeded!

In a small planning group without a start-up team in the studio, the members are also passionately discussing the upsurge of "Super Evolution Era" at the moment.

【It actually happened, this is simply too incredible...】

[Is this the first in the industry? 】

[It may not be correct to say that it is the first, but the most successful case of simultaneous development of games and IPs, this should be the first - at least this IP should be real, and then we will see the results of the game's online public beta. 】

[I heard that this is a decision made by our boss? 】

【Yeah, don't everyone in the studio know about it?The boss was in the leisure area when they had a meeting before, and they didn’t avoid people. Many people in the studio heard the discussion at that time. It was the idea that the boss wanted to develop IP in parallel after the first test.

To be honest, this is the boss's own idea. He is the boss of the studio, and he can develop whatever direction he wants, otherwise, who would dare to do this?[-] million down! 】

Feng Chenchu ​​was also in this planning group that did not lose the studio, but he didn't speak at the moment, but bragged about Pei Shu's rainbow fart in his heart.

He knows it!

Not losing to the teacher is the best!

Great vision, great ideas!

Is it hard to think about the development and operation of games and IP-based games?

No, it's actually not that difficult.

Including the previous two-dimensional games in the industry in a similar form, a series of IP-based operation promotions with game content as the core have been launched before the game's public beta launch, and some have achieved good results.

However, operation promotion and real IP-based development are always different.

As far as Feng Chenchu ​​knows, that guy Liu Jieyu is really good at IP development related work. Even the big movie "Legend of Xianyuan" is still struggling to produce, Liu Jieyu has already drawn "Legend of Xianyuan" in advance There are possible hot characters and CPs, and the production of peripheral products has already been arranged in advance. It is expected that they will be released for sale at the same time after the "Legend of Xianyuan" game and big movie are launched.

The same is true for "Fairy Tale", so the studio's first shot "Super Evolutionary Age" can be worse?

Feng Chenchu ​​admired Liu Jieyu's ability, and even more admired Pei Shu's determination and courage.

Just look at the current discussions about "The Era of Super Evolution" on Weibo and Station C to know how much popularity and heat can be gained behind it once an IP that can influence the vast majority of Two-dimensional fans is born.

But why everyone knows this, but few people can actually do it before?

Because the investment is too large, because I don't know whether it will succeed in the end.

It's just that other people don't know whether it will be successful, so can Pei Shu know that the project will be successful?

It was impossible to think and know, but he still made a decision like this.

This is true whether it is the development of "One Thought Immortal Demon", "Super Evolutionary Age" or "Legend of Xianyuan".

Feng Chenchu ​​also heard Qiu Boyu and Jiang Ziye tell a lot of stories about the development period of "One Thought Immortal Demon" by Budi Studio. It can be said that Pei Shu's role in the success of Buba Studio was able to achieve such brilliant results. The credit must be more than [-]%.

Following such a boss, Feng Chenchu ​​smiled contentedly - this is a big profit!

Pei Shu is also paying attention to the first-day launch effect of the "Super Evolutionary Era" series of instant noodles. After paying attention to the new related discussions on the Internet and the large amount of new broadcast data on station C, Pei Shu Shu also relaxed a little.

Although Pei Shu already has a rough grasp of the success of Instant Noodles based on the previous series of feedback data related to promotion and development, but there is no absolute, until the real data is presented in front of him, Pei Shu's heart is also at ease again. back.

As the leader of the studio, Pei Shu has been covered with a veil of mystery in the eyes of most of the studio's planners. It seems that he can strategize thousands of miles away, predict market opportunities, and grasp players' opportunities. Pulse gate.

In short, Pei Shu's head seemed to have been covered with a magical halo.

Of course Pei Shu himself does not have the burden of being an idol. He clearly knows that he just thinks in more directions and is more courageous. He dares to make assumptions, and because he is the person in charge of the studio, no one can If you restrain him, he can let go to do things that many people dare not think or do.

It's like this time the IP and game content development are in parallel, which is also a bold attempt by him.

Of course, as the leader of the studio, he also clearly calculated in his mind that even if the IP development parallel attempt fails, it will not affect the studio's other game development and survival, so he made the decision.

Today, the popularity of "Age of Super Evolution" is also a feedback for his bold decision-this time, the attempt to develop and operate the game in parallel with the game IP is considered a success!

Just after Pei Shu breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a familiar avatar on the PC side of WeChat dancing again and again.

Li Chuyue: [(Screenshot of the hot search list on Weibo.jpg), (Screenshot of today’s broadcast ranking at station C.jpg), (screenshot of the number of broadcasts and barrage discussions of "Little Zombie".jpg)]

Li Chuyue: [(cat probe.gif) Today's Pei Pei is also the best! ^^】

Li Chuyue: [(probe into the brain.gif)]

Li Chuyue: [Is Pei Pei not here?If you're not here... I'll ask again later]

Looking at the series of messages that popped up, Pei Shu sent a series of ellipses.

Li Chuyue: [^^ Pei Pei! 】

The screen was full of cute expressions, but it was impossible to tell what Li Chuyue looked like in person.

Pei Shu ignored him, and clicked on Li Chuyue's screenshot first.

These screenshots are from Weibo, Station C, and some professional popularity statistics websites. The most exaggerated one is the screenshot of Station C's ranking list of today's views.

Since the "Super Evolution Era" series of instant noodle fans went online at 7 o'clock, it has only been less than an hour now, and these instant noodle fans have all squeezed into the top 1 of today's broadcast rankings at station C, and The ranking is still rising.

Among them, the one with the highest broadcast data and the highest ranking is the first episode of the two instant noodle shows "Zombie Little" and "Xenograss" which are closely together.

"Little Zombie" probably has a slightly higher statistic than "Xenoplanted Grass" because it is so cute, but there is no obvious gap between the two.

Judging from the single-day broadcast volume of station C, the popularity index of different races in the 10 series is already visible to the naked eye.

Among them, "Little Zombie" and "Alien Grass" rank the highest, the third most popular is the Alien Beast series, the fourth is the Deep Sea series, the fifth is the Parasite series, and relatively low are ordinary humans and aliens. The series of birds and zerg.

It can be seen that readers who like this series are more interested in relatively novel races and stories, but they don't particularly like creatures like Zerg, which are special and not very cute.

The overall popularity ranking is roughly the same as the data results discussed and speculated within the studio.

It is on the ranking list of station C, because the 10 series of "Super Evolutionary Age" are all counted as an animation separately, so when the playback volume of 10 movies is rising steadily, it is on the single animation of station C. The strange effect of 'swiping the screen' was caused on the daily ranking list.

***

On Weibo, the Dimension Wall Forum and the WG Forum, everyone who has been following the launch of the "Super Evolution Era" series of instant noodles has also noticed the "Super Evolution Era" on the single-day ranking list of Station C. Times" screen swiping phenomenon.

Someone opened a post and asked passionately: [Why don't you guess, is it possible for the 10 series of "Super Evolution Era" instant noodle fans to meet at the peak today? ? ? 】

To be honest, there is no need to ask this question at all. Everyone is staring at this ranking right now, just wanting to see if the 10 instant noodle fans can reach the top together and create miracles.

Some fun people even spontaneously ran to help a few series whose play volume was slightly behind for the time being to increase the play volume. Everyone wanted to see a magical summit gathering.

Of course Pei Shu was also waiting. While waiting, he was looking at a series of photos Li Chuyue sent on WeChat. Brush station C.

Pei Shu: […]

This guy, Li Chuyue, probably doesn't have the slightest sense of face as a bully boss. He is so calm that he is actually very serious about using these devices to brush up the playback volume of the "laggard players" on the current list of "The Era of Super Evolution".

Pei Shu, who might have been a little nervous at first, also fell silent when he saw Li Chuyue's operation.

Pei Shu: [... Childish. 】

Although Li Chuyue on the opposite side was scrolling through various devices, he was not slow at all in replying to Pei Shu.

Li Chuyue: [(Maomao blushes.gif) This is what a follower should do. 】

Pei Shu was silent for a moment.

Li Chuyue started eight years ago, his WG platform ID is "not to lose the teacher's little follower", this ID was determined by Li Chuyue, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Pei Shu laughed at him at that time, but now that he took this name, it will become his dark history in the future.

But the little Li Chuyue didn't care at all and pressed the confirmation button: "It's not black history, I will also be Xiaoshu's little follower when I grow up!"

As he said that, he looked at Pei Shu very vigilantly: "Xiao Shu, you don't want to leave me quietly and run away, do you??? We agreed that we will always be the best neighbors!"

Pei Shu was so entangled by little Li Chuyue at that time, she didn't think much about it, and answered "of course not" as a matter of course.

Who would have thought that less than a year after that, he lost his memory due to the will of the plot, and he did not wake up until eight years later.

Seeing the little follower Li Chuyue mentioned, Pei Shu suddenly remembered that when he saw Li Chuyue again for the first time after eight years, the other party was surprised, puzzled and vigilant.

He thought that Li Chuyue could more or less guess what was wrong with him in the previous eight years, but after he woke up, Li Chuyue never mentioned these things.

……

While waiting for the leaderboard to change, Pei Shu's thoughts were unavoidably chaotic.

He suddenly remembered that when he had just left Polar Star Studio, he could occasionally feel the pressure from the will of the plot, and sometimes the studio would encounter some inexplicable development problems and bugs.

Pei Shu guessed that those should be more or less related to the will of the plot.

But since "One Thought Immortal Demon" has gained a firm foothold, these problems seem to have disappeared, and everything has become smoother and smoother.

Is the plot will misfired?

Or……

Is it because Lin Chengnan@风@勤@家庭 was suppressed after encountering failure, and the plot will also be suppressed?

Lin Cheng...

Of course, Lin Cheng didn't know this. He only knew that since the monthly turnover and daily player activity data of "Wasteland" got worse and worse, his life became more and more difficult.

Before, Huanyu Company approved him 300 million yuan for the production of the "Future Life" demo. Now that a few months have passed, the demo has not yet been produced, but the funds have been almost spent.

Lin Cheng's head suddenly became dizzy.

It’s just a demo, why did it cost so much?

After he found the project manager to understand the cost, he realized that all the members of his "Future Life" production team were paid high salaries.

In other words, in Huanyu Company, there are not many people with low salaries.

His production team has nearly 20 people, with an average salary of 2.5 yuan, which is 50 yuan in salary expenses per month.

In addition to the basic salary expenditure, the demo production of the "Future Life" project team also needs the support of some external departments, which will be attributed to the statistical cost.

Lin Cheng has not produced anything since the beginning of the production, and held "brainstorming meetings" with the planners and artists under him every day, asking them to brainstorm hard and forcing them to come up with the best things to convince himself.

A lot of meetings have been held, but the finalized content is limited, so that until now there is no result at all.

What should I do if there is no result?

Of course, it is to apply for new funding to continue the production.

But the last time Huanyu's review team and executives approved the budget happily, this time Lin Cheng didn't show anything and needed a new budget, but it was not so easy.

After finally applying for a new 300 million demo budget, Lin Cheng also received "kind condolences" from the executives, asking him not to work so hard to guide other planning, and as the project leader, he should take responsibility himself.

——It looks like you did a good job when you were in the "Wasteland" project team. You have the ability, don't be afraid of others saying that you are a talker, in your talk, those planners can also learn something!

Come back with such instructions, can Lin Cheng not feel bored?

What's even more annoying is that the executives, including Mr. Lin, are asking him to pay attention to the parallel results of the IP development of "The Era of Super Evolution".

Whenever they talk about "The Era of Super Evolution", these people still have a few words of emotion - they should have known that Qiu Boyu should not have been let go.

Lin Cheng: ...

With such an annoyed mood, Lin Cheng is also guarding in front of the computer at the moment, watching the series animation data of "The Era of Super Evolution" rising steadily!

Finally, at 11:20 p.m., someone refreshed the ranking list of Station C—the top ten finally became neat at this moment, all of which belonged to the "Super Evolution Era" list, and appeared!

The author has something to say:

Li Chuyue: What is face?Can I eat it?

Pei Shu: (Silence)...you don't have to be so confident.
