NOVEL NEXT Chapter 92
“League of Legends’ first day of testing saw over 600,000 people online at the same time”
“The game that imitated Dota became a big hit, with an astonishing 600,000 online users”
“Shanhai’s first game League of Legends set a record, with 600,000 people online at the same time on the first day”…
The next day, all major news websites and gaming media were reporting on the news.
Some congratulated, some ridiculed, and some said League of Legends copied Dota. But League of Legends became a big hit.
With this crazy coverage and the extensive publicity in offline internet cafes, on
Sunday
, the number of online players in League of Legends reached a new level, breaking 820,000 at the same time. And it was at 3 pm that the game reached such an amazing number. The entire gaming community was shocked and amazed…….
Pengcheng, Penguin Company.
An emergency meeting was also held. The meeting was chaired by Xiao Ma Ge again. Zeng Liqing, Zhang Zhidong and other personnel, including the head of the game business Ren Yuxin, also attended the meeting.
The topic of discussion was the game League of Legends.
The game business has developed into the core business of Penguin Company, which can be said to support most of the revenue of Penguin Company. Especially after the agency of CrossFire, the game business has risen to the core business.
“Pony, it seems that your previous decision was right.
Zeng Liqing affirmed what Xiao Ma said before, that League of Legends has the potential to become a hit, and now it has come true.
It has just been launched, and if it continues to grow like this, it will not be long before it can catch up with CrossFire.
“Pony, I think we can prepare for both situations.”
“Self-research”
“While acting as an agent for a game of the same type”
“Some time ago, when I went to the United States to attend a game exhibition, a company launched a game called”Super God Heroes”. The gameplay mode is very similar to League of Legends, and it also involves two-way competition.”
Sitting on one side, Ren Yuxin, the head of Penguin Games, began to speak.
Xiao Ma’s eyes lit up.
As Ren Yuxin said, whether self-developed products can become popular depends on the time it takes. By the time Penguin’s self-developed products are developed, it is estimated that the number of people online at the same time in League of Legends will exceed 1.5 million. It will be extremely popular, and by that time, the opportunity will have been lost.
If you can be an agent for a product of the same type, you can launch it immediately in two or three months. It is not impossible to take advantage of this favorable situation and rely on QQ’s powerful traffic diversion. Even if it doesn’t become popular, it can still muddy the waters and serve as a sniper against League of Legends.
After sorting out the clues, Xiao Ma immediately decided:”Just do as Yuxin says”
“Two-step approach: agency and self-development”
“Mr. Ren, since you have been in contact with”Super Heroes”, you should lead the team to negotiate and get the agency rights as soon as possible. We want to launch this game as quickly as possible. Even if this game is rubbish, we want to make it popular.”
“In addition, we must also speed up our own research and development. No matter what you want, just ask for material, human and financial resources. The company will fully cooperate.”
After a pause, Xiao Ma raised his glasses and said with a sharp look:”In a word, I hope to be able to conduct internal testing by the end of the year, and to have a formal version for external testing in May next year.”
In just one year, creating a game from scratch is a heavy task.
Ren Yuxin took a deep breath, nodded with a firm look in his eyes and said:”Understood!”
Not only Penguin is making moves.
Wangyi in Hangzhou is also making moves.
Especially after losing the agency rights for World of Warcraft in China, Wangyi is in urgent need of developing new games.
Although Westward Journey Online and Fantasy Westward Journey have brought a lot of profits, the product line is too thin.
Moreover, the number of people online at the same time in Westward Journey Online has been reduced by more than half compared to its peak.
It can be said that the vast majority of the income of the entire Wangyi company is supported by Fantasy Westward Journey, and the rest is the portal website business and other businesses such as Westward Journey Online.
In this case, seeing the popularity of League of Legends, it is natural to be tempted.
Before, they looked down on it because they thought that online games were mainstream and that fighting games like this were not popular. The prospects are not big. Now the League of Legends mode is very popular. With such a large number of players, you can make a lot of money by selling skins, runes, and various props.
Don’t think that there are only 820,000 players just because there are 820,000 people online at the same time in League of Legends.
In fact, it is not calculated in this way.
Online at the same time is not the same as active players.
Active players are several times more than online at the same time. If the operation time is long, there are still millions of players online at the same time, then the scale of playing this game is about 7 or 8 million, or even 10 million.
This is still the number of active people. If you count those players who don’t play much, or only play two or three times a month, the number will be even higher.
From the current situation, the number of registered users of League of Legends is It has reached two million.
As time goes by, the number of registered users will become more and more.
And when the scale of game players increases, the revenue brought is not just the game.
Take Fantasy Westward Journey as an example. There are beverage companies cooperating to launch”Fantasy Westward Journey”-named beverages, and cooperating with banks to launch co-branded credit cards and so on.
Therefore, the game League of Legends has great potential, and it can be expected to become a popular game.
Although he has no experience in the development of this type of game, Ding Sanshi still decided to establish a project department for the development of this type of game.
At the same time, other domestic game manufacturers are also holding meetings to discuss.
However, there are not many people who are really determined to do it.
Compared to making League of Legends, They are more comfortable and more secure in making online games as they are more comfortable with MOBA games.
In the next half month, the popularity of League of Legends became more and more popular. Finally, on June 7, the number of people online at the same time exceeded one million, making it the seventh game with more than one million people online at the same time. For a while, people playing League of Legends could be seen everywhere in Internet cafes.
Compared to the uproar outside.
Su Chengyang, He Zhifei and others knew that this was just the starting point, and the real boom had not yet come.
Amateur Grand Prix.
Hundreds of thousands of prize money, not to mention ordinary people, even adults are excited.
The Hundred Cities League is launched, as well as the National Internet Cafe League and the National College Grand Prix.
According to this trend, even if the number of people online at the same time exceeds three million, Su Chengyang and He Zhifei are confident that they will be able to win the championship……..
“Mr. Zhou, welcome to Shanhai, I am the general manager of Shanhai Pictures, Yang Tianzhen, nice to meet you.”
At the downstairs of Shanhai Building, seeing Zhou Xingxing getting out of the car, Yang Tianzhen greeted him with a smile on his face.
It is not clear how his boss invited Zhou Xingxing, but it is not important. The important thing is that Zhou Xingxing will cooperate with Shanhai Pictures on a movie. Just this news will make the whole film industry look sideways.
Hearing that the person in front of him is the general manager of Shanhai Pictures, Zhou Xingxing smiled and shook hands with the other party,”Hello, Mr. Yang~~”
After exchanging a few polite words, Yang Tianzhen knew that Zhou Xingxing was not good at communication, so he did not say much, but invited Zhou Xingxing and his party to join Shanhai Films.
“Wow, look, that looks like Stephen Chow?”
“Where?”
“Where~~”A female employee raised her hand and pointed
“Wow, it really is, it’s really Stephen Chow”
“Why did he come to the company?”
“The woman he was talking to seemed to be Yang, the general manager of the film company.”
“Film company?” Someone immediately thought of it;”Could it be that the film company is cooperating with Stephen Chow in filming a movie?”
“I think it’s close to 100%”.037…..
“I didn’t expect that I could see Zhou Xingxing up close. Why is his hair white?”
“He seems to be in his forties.”……
Soon, the news that Zhou Xingxing came to Shanhai Pictures spread throughout the Shanhai Group. The news that Zhou Xingxing was going to cooperate with Shanhai Pictures to shoot a new movie spread throughout the company.
Now, the number of employees in several companies of Shanhai Group, including only the Yanjing side, has already reached 400 to 500.
With so many mouths, it is impossible for everyone to keep their mouths shut, and there is no strict prohibition on spreading the news.
Therefore, the news that Zhou Xingxing came to Shanhai Pictures appeared on Weibo.
#Zhou Xingxing appeared in Shanhai Group and was rumored to be cooperating with Shanhai Films to shoot a new movie#
#Stephen Chow plans to shoot a new movie#
#News such as” Zhou Xingxing appeared in Yanjing Shanhai Group#” quickly became a hot search on Weibo, and for a while, the whole network was discussing it.
In order to verify whether Zhou Xingxing was going to cooperate with Shanhai to shoot a new movie, some netizens even went to Su Chengyang’s Weibo to ask if this was true.
Obviously, they thought that instead of asking Su Chengyang on the official Weibo of Shanhai Pictures, it would be more direct.
Seeing Su Chengyang asking the question, he was speechless.
It seems that his place has become a place for netizens to verify.
After thinking about it, Su Chengyang felt that he could take this opportunity to warm up.
So, he posted a message on his Weibo:”As everyone guessed, the company has indeed reached a cooperation with Mr. Zhou Xingxing, and the two parties will prepare to shoot a new movie”
“In addition, I would like to reveal some news. Shanhai Films plans to produce six films this year.”
“In addition to working with Mr. Zhou Xingxing, there is also an action blockbuster and a drama with Mr. Cheng Long, which will also start shooting this year.” After sending the message, Su Chengyang didn’t care about it anymore.
However, the news he revealed caused an uproar on the Internet.
