The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

Chapter 678 678. Take him away directly

 After the release of Bomi Company's "Chinese Life", the situation was better than Cao Yang imagined.

Maybe this can be regarded as a weird game in the history of Chinese games. It directly brings the entire realistic theme into the game, and allows players to experience a different life, and allows them to deeply understand some potential things that everyone knows but doesn’t. Tell the truth.

In addition, this game has strong entertainment and viewing effects.

Behind the so-called comedy is tragedy.

Therefore, after this game was put on the shelves, it gradually became popular with the support of various anchors.

The fire can be considered a small fire, not a big fire.

The sales volume in the first week barely exceeded 800,000 copies. If we continue at this rate, it should not be a problem to pass the one million passing mark.

Of course, this passing line is Bomi’s internal passing line.

For many game manufacturers, selling 1 million copies is already quite impressive.

Fortunately, the development of "Chinese Life" is relatively simple and the cost is relatively low. It is estimated to be at the 10 million level. If 1 million copies can be sold, there will still be a lot of profit.

In other words, the 800,000 copies sold now have not only returned the blood, but also exceeded Cao Yang's expectations. They have made money, at least 50 to 60 million.

Cao Yang is very satisfied with this result. After all, when he first developed this game, he did not have particularly high expectations for the game's performance. After all, it is not a popular theme.

I didn't expect that the results would be so good later.

…

"Huh? Why can even this **** Sims game sell so many copies?" NetEase's boss Ding couldn't believe the data he saw.

Dingdang next to him curled his lips and cursed in his heart -

That's because you don't know how much the real Sims has to sell.

"The Sims" is a video game series developed by Maxis and published by EA Games.

The biggest feature of the "Sims" series is that it is an open sandbox game with no set game goals. All players have to do is control the virtual characters in the game - Sims, to meet their needs and Desire, and plan a perfect life for them. At the same time, players can also use the construction system in the game to freely build houses, decorate the home environment, and create a perfect home for the Sims.

From the release of the first "The Sims" in 2000 to now, this series of games has sold more than 50 million units worldwide.

Because for many players, this game satisfies their desire for a virtual home. They can freely experience life and build in the game, and can also let the characters fall in love and have children...

It's just like the house game that many people experienced when they were children, but it was created by Maxis and turned into a game.

If Bomi Company can really enrich the current "Chinese Life" and follow the routine of The Sims, it will be easy to sell more copies.

It can only be said that Bomi Company, or Boss Cao's ambition is still too small.

Throughout the "Chinese Life" game, most of the plot is presented through character dialogue and text. Even the city maps are relatively templated and lack the fun of exploration.

"Chinese Life" focuses on life experience and development, so the content is not as rich as "The Sims".

However, the game's different starts and various random events have greatly enriched the game experience of "Chinese Life", allowing many players to understand the charm of the game and experience the extraordinary through a simple shell. Core.

This alone shows the strength of the production team.

It is not easy to find such a design team in NetEase.

Seeing that Dingdang didn't speak for a long time, it was a bit boring for Boss Ding to complain about Bomi here alone.

He raised his head and looked at Zhan Zhonghui next to him, "You should say something, this makes me lose face."

"I think so..."

Zhan Zhonghui smiled bitterly, "It's really too much to sell such a small amount. Even if it is slightly improved, this game can sell two million copies, but people still don't care about it."

Ding Sanshi was stunned for a moment: "..."

What does this mean?

…

On November 11, the above again interviewed major game manufacturers.

Cao Yang arrived at the scene and greeted everyone one by one. Everyone was familiar and they were all old acquaintances.

And there are basically not many new unfamiliar faces, which only shows that the current game industry is getting more and more complicated.

When there is no room for newcomers to develop in an industry, it will naturally enter a stage of fighting with each other. In other words, the market has already been divided up by major game companies, and it is difficult for small businesses to start up with the remaining residue.

However, it is good to have unfamiliar faces, which shows that the industry is not a backwater.

But everyone here knows very well that even if the games developed by all companies except Bomi are added up, Bomi's family may not have a higher income.

…

This time during the interview, Cao Yang seemed extremely happy, his face glowing red.

Compared with the last time he was interviewed, he was completely different.

Cao Yang was interviewed before, mainly because he didn't know what would happen. He was unsure and was particularly scared, especially when he thought that if the bosses were unhappy one day and imposed a game ban, then Bomi Company would be equivalent to tearing up the company. A big piece of meat fell off.

He seemed happy at the venue now, mainly because Cao Yang probably knew something about this interview.

If his guess was correct, this interview should be a feedback on the previous requirement that every major game manufacturer have an educational game.

Because Bomi Company had given good answers before, Cao Yang was like a top student who came here to receive praise.

However, this is just Cao Yang's own idea. The specific situation will not be known until a formal meeting.

Maybe the higher-ups will put forward some new requirements this time?

…

After everyone arrived, about 10 minutes later, several leaders walked in from outside the conference room.

In addition to Wang Xiaohua, the person in charge of radio and television, and Zhu Mingde, the person in charge of the cultural headquarters, who Cao Yang had met before, this time there was actually Chen Yidong, the mayor of the city.

What is this scenario?

Cao Yang was momentarily confused.

Logically speaking, shouldn't this meeting be an internal matter of the family?

How could it alarm the leaders of the management department?

Moreover, Mr. Changshi and we are not in the same system.

For example, NetEase's boss Ding is located in Guangzhou, which is not under the control of the imperial capital Changshi.

Cao Yang didn't think too clearly, how did Chen Changshi want to attend this meeting?

Several leaders walked to the main stage and sat down. There was a triangular nameplate in front of their respective seats. In fact, everyone present had one in front of them. It was mainly used to give everyone acquaintance.

We are all busy people, and not everyone here may be familiar with us, so there is a name tag somewhere to avoid the embarrassment of being called by the wrong name.

…

After Chen Changshi came in, he did not sit in the middle of the podium, but sat on Wang Xiaohua's left hand.

So judging from this situation, he came today just to listen in, at least not to give a lecture.

Wang Xiaohua is today’s keynote speaker.

In addition to Cao Yang, others are also trying to figure out this unusual situation.

After Wang Xiaohua came in, his face was always smiling and glowing, and he seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

He glanced around and got an impression and understanding of everyone, and said with a smile: "We are all old acquaintances, so I won't mince words and go straight to the point.

I know that all the bosses have a lot to do, so I will try to speak as quickly as possible to save everyone some time.

This time we have called everyone together for a few things.

The first one is to talk about educational games.

We all know that the Internet is developing very rapidly now, especially after the advent of smartphones, the Internet has penetrated deeply into people's daily lives and has become an indispensable part of our daily lives.

The Internet has a great influence and its influence is very wide.

Education in the new era is inseparable from the Internet. "

When Wang Xiaohua said this, he coughed and strategically took a sip of tea.

"I shouldn't have said these words originally. Maybe the leaders of the education department would be more convincing and vivid, but we are mainly responsible for managing game culture...

There is a slight suspicion of overstepping one's expectations, but the principle is still the same. "

Wang Xiaohua said, "Education in the new era must be education driven by the Internet. Before this, we called it multimedia education. With the Internet, whether it is students, teachers, or ordinary workers, as long as they want to improve their knowledge Those who want to reserve and improve their personal qualities can find corresponding learning materials and learning methods through the Internet.

This is a living example of how technology changes life.

Everyone here makes games. Games are actually part of the Internet, and games are also a very important cultural carrier and educational carrier. They are a good educational channel and platform that should be utilized.

Based on this, we have just put forward a requirement to everyone that seems strict, but actually has great impact and benefits...

That is…"

Wang Xiaohua paused here, picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip to moisten his throat.

"That's making educational games."

…

Hearing the words educational games, everyone in the audience tensed up.

Of course, except Cao Yang.

Everyone knows what their educational games are like.

Because all the game manufacturer bosses present here have already agreed, which is to simply make a teaching game with some knowledge points, and present it through some relatively ordinary cartoon clicks, or simple ways to break through levels.

To put it bluntly, it is used to deal with the above.

But…

At this moment, Wang Xiaohua's voice came from above:

"Here, I must commend Bomi Group. In the first half of this year, the game "Learning Goddess" they developed has achieved very good results. Judging from our surveys and feedback, many school students, especially High school students have benefited a lot. Some people who have played this game have made more or less progress in their grades.

Moreover, teachers also found that students who played this game became more serious in class and asked questions more frequently.

Many teachers even reported that there were many studious students who took the initiative to stay after school and asked teachers to answer their questions.

I would like to express my congratulations to Bomi for its efforts and achievements. "

Wang Xiaohua took the lead in applauding.

Everyone below clapped their hands together.

There was thunderous applause.

Mr. Qiu, Boss Ding, and Chi Yufeng, the founder of Perfect World, all turned their heads and looked at Cao Yang with greetings.

Cao Yang responded with a polite smile and nod.

Yes, that's the person.

It's just that Bomi Company doesn't follow martial ethics at all. Everyone clearly agreed to lie down together, but you quietly took off on your own.

Everyone hated Cao Yang's betrayal and wanted to beat him up on the spot.

Cao Yang said, at first you just asked me not to hold you back.

I'm not holding you back.

I will fly you directly!

…

Wang Xiaohua first gave a brief description of the current domestic game industry, and also evaluated the future game market, affirming the cultural value of the game itself.

During this period, he highly praised Cao Yang and praised Bomi Company for its very groundbreaking educational games.

"This is a very important breakthrough, the combination of creativity and education, resulting in the birth of a good game like "Learning Goddess"."

Everyone below looked at Wang Xiaohua silently.

Boss Ding couldn’t help but think—

I'm afraid these leaders have never even played the game, right?

As long as you play this "Learning Goddess" for a little bit, you will find the problems inside -

Bomi Company relies on selling love to attract players. This is not in line with the value promoted by the relevant departments, right?

"But..." Wang Xiaohua said here, adding a but, "This game is not without its flaws. For example, the [love behavior] advocated in the game, although there is no legal provision that cannot be done, but we do not Encourage students to fall in love early.

This is a question of guiding values.

So based on this, I would like to criticize Bomi severely. "

Ah this...

Cao Yang was crying in his heart.

What is this today? Call someone here, give you a candy first, and then slap you in the face?

“However, Bomi’s innovative spirit and creativity in games are still worthy of encouragement,” Wang Xiaohua concluded. “It’s just that we hope that in the future there will be more correct views and guide the emergence of correct educational games.

I hope that Bomi and other game companies can continue their efforts and make better games. "
