Chapter 184 "Devil May Cry" Everyone Challenges!Charge towards the SSS rating!
"Haha, Mengman Club has lost money this time. Fortunately, we didn't grab it."

Huacai Youth Manga, editorial department.

As one of the top comic book clubs in China.

Unlike Mengman Club, which mainly focuses on series such as "green campus, sweet love for couples, and transformation of cute pets".

Huacai Youth Manga has always published several series of manga types such as "Royal Way, Hot-blooded Sports, and Myths and Legends".

Logically speaking, the content published by several top-ranking comics houses can't be matched in eight poles.

But with the rapid development of the Internet in the past five years.

Comic books have also started to be like online novels, gradually replacing paper publications with electronic online versions.

This also means that readers have more room to choose, and their tastes are more complex.

In the past, when paper comics were popular.

Whether a comic is good or not can only be known by buying it.

The single book has at least seven or eight chapters.

Even buy a weekly manga magazine that contains many serial manga content.

Not all content can be liked by readers.

Some die-hard fans will even be their favorite authors because of one of the comics in one issue.

And reluctantly bought the entire weekly magazine.

This also means that readers need to spend more to open the blind box.

Therefore, readers have never changed their taste easily.

For those who like to watch sports comics, you ask him to spend 30 yuan to buy a love comic.

Then he really has to weigh it.

But in the age of Internet explosion, everything is different.

Electronic comics are all the rage.

There is no longer a requirement to purchase the full copy.

Usually you subscribe to one chapter and pay for one chapter.

Readers who love to read sports comics feel a little bored after watching them for a long time, so they dare to try to subscribe to other types of comics.

There is no loss if it doesn't look good. If it looks good, you can change the taste.

Readers' tastes have become mixed, which means that several originally unrelated comic agencies have intersected.

Readers who have watched sports comics for a long time are likely to be attracted by the leisure time on the lush campus.

Readers who watch suspense reasoning, murder and dismemberment every day will also want to watch some sweet love comics to change their mood.

In other words.

Your readers will most likely become my readers.

then.

A war without gunpowder has begun.

In order to seize more electronic payment market.

Several leading comics clubs began to rack their brains.

I have fought a price war and invited water public relations.

In addition, relying on the family's big business, they packaged the electronic copyrights of old comics in batches at extremely low prices to forcefully attract readers to sign up for their own APP.

There is also a cooperation with the island country comics to buy the exclusive copyright of the island country comics to abduct consumers.

But in the end, a group of manga clubs found a problem.

Consumers have always gone where there are discounts.

Maybe there are several APPs in hand.

Come see your home's exclusive island manga today.

Tomorrow, I will go to his house to pay for a collection of packaged comics.

We've beaten our heads like dogs here.

Consumers acted as the sixth child and watched our jokes.

What a disgrace to the industry!

As a result, the comic agency also began to move closer to the music industry.

Buy out a comic book writer directly.

As long as I buy enough people, won't all the readers come?

The same is true of the "Devil May Cry" series of comics created by Chu Jun.

Many comic studios realized that this might be a good IP, so they rushed to buy it and spent a lot of money.

Huacai Youth Manga is also one of them.

Zeng gritted his teeth and offered an exclusive copyright fee of 1000 million.

But I didn't expect Mengman Club to be more ruthless, directly killing it with 1200 million.

After careful calculation by the Finance Department of China Lottery, it was discovered that the investment and return may not be directly proportional.

Dongfang Shen, as the editor-in-chief of Huacaiman Club, gave up this copyright dispute.

From Dongfangshen's point of view at that time, 1200 million yuan bought an exclusive copyright of a manga, and the follow-up income of the manga would be divided [-]-[-] with Junyue.

"It's absolutely impossible to make money. If you die, you can get back the capital. Plus a little daily user activity, but these daily activities are unstable and may run away at any time." Dongfang Shen said firmly at the time.

And look at it now...

He was so right!

half a month.

Half a month has passed since the release of the "Devil May Cry" manga on New Year's Day!

A total of 1-4 sets of Devil May Cry booklets, with a total of 30 chapters.

Each session is charged at one dollar.

It costs only 1 yuan to read all the comics 4-30 of "Devil May Cry".

On average, Mengmanshe only sold [-] copies.

It is equivalent to earning only 30 with principal and interest.

30 million!

The 30 was also awarded Junyue 15.

The exclusive copyright bought back for 1200 million, a net profit of 15 in half a month...

Dongfang Shen almost burst into laughter.

The happy 'bang bang' patted his thigh.

"Do you guys think that Moeman Club seems like a big wronged species? Hahaha!"

This wave.

This wave of self-made blood mother heavenly skills!
Directly stop the loss of nearly 1000 million for the company!

The boss shouldn't get a house as a reward for himself?

"The editor-in-chief of the East is still as discerning as a torch." The subordinate immediately flattered him.

"Hehe." Dongfang Shen chuckled and shook his head: "The saved 1000 million can buy the exclusive copyrights of many cartoonists. It will surpass Mengman and become the largest comic agency in China, just around the corner."

"What does the editor-in-chief think is the problem?" The young employee asked curiously: "The game is obviously very popular, and it has sold close to a million copies in half a month, but the comics..."

Dongfang Shen immediately straightened his back.

"I've read a little bit of "Devil May Cry" comics, and the content can only be said to be quite satisfactory, not amazing."

"I didn't expect Mengman Club to throw it on New Year's Day and push it hard."

"But if you think about it, if you bought it back for 1200 million, I would have to push it out with tears in my eyes."

"In fact, these are all predictable. Games are games, and comics are comics. Mr. Chu is a game designer, and being skilled does not mean being skilled. For example, Tyson is good at boxing, but if you ask him to draw, he is too. Blind in both eyes. Mr. Chu is better than Tyson, right?"

Other employees of Huacai Club also laughed and echoed, saying that Mengman Club suffered a loss this time.

Just when everyone thought that the "Devil May Cry" comics were a sudden death.

A brand new multiplayer sports challenge has quietly kicked off.

And quickly detonated the social network with a devastating momentum, becoming a new round of challenge projects for the whole people.

For other fields, national challenges are not uncommon.

In the early years, there was an ice bucket challenge that became popular all over the world.

Later, there were A4 paper challenges, backhand touch navel challenge and so on.

Summarize their characteristics.

You will find that this kind of national challenge is usually aimed at 'courage, self-confidence, elegance, perfection' and so on.

A part of showing yourself to everyone on social platforms.

It is characterized by fast fermentation, wide dissemination, and many participants, which can arouse the desire of the whole people to compete.

Many capitalists have actually considered manipulating this kind of national challenge series and making it a tool for capital gains.

After all, after a national challenge is launched, the traffic value it can bring is amazing.

But it is a pity that the capitalists really can't figure out what the common people are interested in and what they are not interested in.

Ever since, the national challenge has become a random and unmanipulable thing.

Suddenly a certain challenge exploded overnight.

But "Devil May Cry", as a game, can stand out from this national challenge.

Almost no one expected it.

The reason was Li Junxiang, the anchor of the fighting zone on Shark Platform.

In just a few days, he crazily practiced various combo techniques.

The combat effect of "Devil May Cry" is already the ceiling of action games.

Plus this game has one of the biggest features.

Almost all moves can be blended into the combo.

Its ornamental value has gone beyond the field of games!

What is meant by viewing beyond the field of games?
That is, people who don’t play games can also understand what you are doing, and they will find it interesting and handsome.

With this alone, "Devil May Cry" already has the ability to go out of the circle.

Li Junxiang didn't expect that he would detonate a new national challenge at the beginning.

He just wanted to have a joke with his water friends.

I first played a combo, and then said, "There is someone who is more handsome than me, I will reward you with 1000 red envelopes on the spot!" '

His purpose is also very pure, just to let Qi Shuang inadvertently see his understanding of the game so smooth in "Devil May Cry" one day.

After all, it was quite deliberate to send it up to show her the combo video.

If only she could find out for herself.

Maximize the pretentious effect!hey-hey.

As a result, the video he initiated was pinned to the top by the newly established Devil May Cry Bar, and the title was very challenging.

[Brothers, someone has come to send money, and the evaluation score is higher than in the video, 1000 yuan cash reward!It's time to show off the skills of our Puwa people! 】

In Blue Star, the e-sports project has never been started.

Even fighting games, which are currently the most e-sports genre, because no game company has thought of developing in the direction of competition.

Mr. Chu is very busy, and the attention and influence brought by fighting game competitions is not as good as making one more good game.

So it ran aground again and again.

Playing games and earning bonuses is almost unthinkable in Blue Star.

Never showed up!

Once it appeared now, it instantly detonated the interest points of many players.

Therefore, Li Junxiang only challenged the water friends in his live broadcast room.

It evolved into an evaluation challenge for the "Devil May Cry" post bar.

In just two days, more and more players uploaded videos of their unique insights into combos.

All kinds of bells and whistles were developed.

Some of these styles of play are even more enjoyable than Li Junxiang's videos.

Someone saved it and sent it to their circle of friends.

More and more Devil May Cry players who don't play Tieba also know the No. [-] news.

They flocked here.

So far, the "Devil May Cry" combo challenge has once again gone out of the Devil May Cry Post Bar, and has become an invitation letter for the majority of players!

More and more people participated.

But there are also players who expressed helplessness.

"Why aren't they playing a game with me?"

"If you don't understand, just ask, are their combos only available after purchasing DLC?"

"In the video: AAA, jump A, mechanical arm, hook rope to grab and ravage, connecting Feiyan + pistol..."

"Actually I operate: AAAAAAA..."

"The old man who only knows A in front, I'm better than you, I'm babbling swordsmanship / covering my face / covering my face"

"They're playing Devil May Cry, I'm playing Devil May Cry!"

Li Junxiang didn't expect that a small challenge he created at random would attract so much attention.

Even in just two days in his live broadcast room, he gained [-] followers.

Just now.

Jun Yue is gone.

Junyue's top management has also clearly noticed this hot spot.

When a field develops to a certain level, even if the official does not say anything, the people will start to spontaneously organize some small competitions.

The reason is simple, human beings have admired the strong since ancient times.

After a field grows bigger, many people will look forward to producing a representative figure.

If not, it would be a pity instead.

"I don't know when it started, the game field has gradually acquired this characteristic. This is a symbol of the industry's gradual growth." Looking at the players' enthusiasm for participating in the challenge, Ling Tianhang couldn't help but feel relieved in a routine meeting sighed.

This meeting is led by him.

President Chu didn't know where to go.

Ling Tianhang found out.

In recent years, Mr. Chu has disappeared for a period of time after finishing a game every time.

He didn't care about the sales of the game at all, and left everything to Xu Nianqing and him with confidence.

Ling Tianhang also couldn't laugh or cry about this.

Such capricious bosses who don't even care about game sales are really rare...

According to Mr. Chu himself, he went to recuperate.

Everyone can understand.

After all, Mr. Chu played a huge role in the detailed business plan for each game, as well as some guidance on the way.

Everyone is tired.

But in fact.

Chu Jun is playing bowling with Luo Tianyi.

"Yeah! All hits!"

The bowling ball knocked over all the bottles.

Luo Tianyi jumped three feet high in excitement!

Looking at the cheering little girl in front of her, her two silver-gray ponytails swayed with her light jumps, looking extremely cute.

Chu Jun also felt healed in his heart.

In order to make up for the guilt, I want to take this little girl, Luo Tianyi, out for a walk while I'm not busy after finishing the game.

But in turn, he was healed by her smile.

Most of the fatigue from high-intensity work has also disappeared.

"So this time we should strike while the iron is hot." Looking back at Junyue's conference room, Ling Tianhang looked around the crowd and continued: "This is a rare opportunity for "Devil May Cry", and even the game, to come into the public eye again. "

"I think so too." Xu Nianqing nodded in approval.

For any line, there will be a heat phase.

After this heat, the attention of passers-by will slowly dissipate.

Three or four months have passed since the Asian Tournament.

Passers-by resumed their previous lives.

It's time to make games great again!

"Then, how about holding a challenge? Since everyone's enthusiasm is so high." Ling Tianhang discussed with the high-level people present in a discussing tone.

"Where's the bonus?" someone asked.

"Ten thousand?" Ling Tianhang asked uncertainly.

In fact, Chu Jun gave some privileges to Jun Yue's senior management.

When doing activities for the company, you can use up to 1000 million company bills as the start-up funds for the activity.

Just record it, and you don't need to report it to yourself.

These high-level officials were carefully selected by Mr. Chu, and they are absolutely loyal.

Furthermore, their own annual salary is now more than ten million.

There is no need to be so perverted.

However, considering that this is the first time to do this kind of game challenge, everyone has insufficient experience.

So Ling Tianhang was afraid of any accidents, and many people took advantage of loopholes.

Not only did it fail to make the competition flourish, but it also caused unnecessary trouble for Junyue in the end.

So I didn't dare to report too much bonus.

"Too few. The purpose of our challenge is to attract more people's attention." Xu Nianqing shook his head.

"Different from the private challenge launched two days ago, once we officially launch the challenge, the attention will be much greater."

"Once there are more participants, this kind of competition, in terms of the results, must be the top batch of operation monsters can get the bonus. If the bonus is too small, many players will directly lose enthusiasm."

"Sister Xu is right." Tang Wangyue nodded her head, "During our school's previous painting competition, the prize money was not small, but in fact there were only a few participants."

A group of people looked at Tang Wangyue one after another and couldn't help being speechless.

As for this painting monster, no one wants to compete with her for the first place...

finally.

Under the discussion of the high-level leaders.

The game industry's first official award competition has been finalized.

According to the evaluation in the game, no cheating methods are allowed (including modifying skill models and mouse macros), the higher the score, the better.

No.1 prize is 5 yuan.

No.2 has a bonus of [-].

No.3 has a bonus of [-] yuan.

4-10 prizes of [-].

In addition, the best creative award and the best funny award were also set up.

and the Lowest Rating Award.

And many other reward items.The top three bonuses for each project are [-], [-], and [-].

The purpose is to allow players who are not operation monsters to have the opportunity to win bonuses.

All projects are based on the combos of Devil May Cry.

There is no limit to the game scene, and the time limit is 5 minutes.

The event was simultaneously announced on the official blogs of Junyue and Shuguang.

The event has just been posted.

The heat immediately exploded!
"WTF?"

"Even games can participate in competitions to make money these days???"

This is the first intuitive reaction of Blue Star players after seeing the event.
