Chapter 62 Young and Unknown Demon King Song

"Mr. Chu, yesterday's single-day payment rate has dropped to 27.1%. Yesterday's revenue was 334512 yuan, and then..."

Xu Nianqing wore a close-fitting professional dress, knocked on the door and entered, and reported to Chu Jun the company's financials yesterday.

Rhythm Master has been released for a week.

Generally speaking, the hot air period can only last for three days, and then it will gradually decline in the follow-up.

As an online game that attracts so much volume, its revenue dropped to 30 in just the seventh day after it was launched, which is really horrible.

Xu Nianqing was even a little nervous when he reported on the company's situation every day.

"What do you think?" Chu Jun suddenly asked.

"Ah? Me, do I think so?" Xu Nianqing's eyes hung on Chu Jun who got up, and saw his boss slowly turn around, standing in front of the huge French window, looking down with his hands behind his back.

Is this the boss's test of himself?
See if you can sharply analyze the market situation or something...

Taking a deep breath, Xu Nianqing said nervously, "I think it might have something to do with the game store's krypton gold limit."

"In the past week, the operating system of our "Master of Rhythm" has been imitated by many game companies. It is not new to sign in on the [-]th and fill the circle of six heads of state in the player circle."

"In the game industry where low consumption is tens of dollars everywhere, the impact brought by the six heads of state charge is huge."

"But if the current games have six-dollar recharges, prostitute players may even think about recharging six yuan."

"Another reason is that... the game Yinyou has gradually evolved into two extreme groups."

"The first category is too difficult. From the novelty of the first time I came into contact with audio games, until now I am always stuck at a level and can't pass it. I will quit."

"The other category is that the game is too simple. After the fingers have mastered muscle memory, there is almost no challenge."

"I mean, what do you think of this?" Chu Jun turned around and said, holding a pot of cactus in his hand.

"Ah?...I..." Xu Nianqing was dumbfounded.

Co-authoring myself to analyze here for a long time, Mr. Chu just asked himself, how is the pot of cactus ball in his hand rising?

"I saw it when I came to the company and passed the morning market today. The cactus is really special. Even if it hasn't been watered for a long time, it is still green, and more importantly, its spikes..."

"President Chu, the problem now is not the cactus ball..." Xu Nianqing took a deep breath, the veins on his forehead twitched faintly, and he even clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Oh, I remembered when you said that." Chu Jun said.

Hearing this, Xu Nianqing's fist loosened a little.

What, it turns out that the boss still has a bit of a spectrum in his heart.

Xu Nianqing's thoughts just settled down.

Seeing that Chu Jun turned around, he took out a piece of paper from the drawer and put it on the table: "I have been looking for several songs recently, please help me negotiate the copyright."

Click.

Xu Nianqing's defense seemed to have completely collapsed.

She clenched her fists tightly, fixed her eyes on Chu Jun, and shouted loudly with her throat flushed and her face flushed.

"The current problem is not about buying copyright at all, it's about the company's revenue. The daily revenue is only more than 30 yuan, and the revenue the day before yesterday was only a little over 35 yuan. Why do you, the boss, have the time to watch it? Cactus Ball, so many employees in the company rely on you for food. Everyone has worked so hard for half a month of personal time for this game. I thought it was time to reap the fruits, but now the game’s stamina is not optimistic. As a boss, you should not compare Are our employees even more anxious? If you want to continue like this, the company should not open as soon as possible and just close down!!"

huh... huh... huh...

He said everything he wanted to say in one breath.

Xu Nianqing gasped for a moment, and the fullness of his chest also rose and fell.

But soon, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

broken……

Did you just... do something extremely rude...

As soon as she looked up, she saw Chu Jun standing there stunned, staring at her blankly with the expression of seeing a ghost.

Xu Nianqing's pretty face immediately turned pink, and her voice became extremely weak.

"Yes...I'm sorry, Mr. Chu...I...I didn't know what happened just now...My mind suddenly went blank..."

Chu Jun was stunned for several seconds before he came back to his senses.

There was a flash of joy in his eyes.

"Are you sick?"

"Ah? Mr. Chu, you mean..."

"That is, he treats people gently and quietly on weekdays, but when he can't bear it, he will erupt into an active volcano with dual personalities?" Chu Jun's breathing became heavier.

"Ah...Although, it's okay to say this...but it's just...it's not easy to control my emotions, right?" Xu Nianqing became more and more embarrassed.

Facing her boss with such a disrespectful behavior, her heart beat nervously, and she stretched out her hand to fiddle with her hair unnaturally.

Everyone has a threshold of anger, beyond which they will get angry, lose their temper, and explode.

It's just that Xu Nianqing usually presents himself as quiet and quiet, but after the outbreak, the contrast is particularly large.

Chu Jun is not only not angry, but also very happy.

He patted the table vigorously: "This is good! This is good!"

Xu Nianqing was completely dizzy.

"In the future, when discussing business with other companies, you can follow me." Chu Jun made a decision on the spot.

Originally, the company specially recruited a negotiator.

However, Chu Jun prefers this kind of straight-forward explosive power to those weak verbal battles between pushing glasses and changing glasses on the wine table.

Just fill up Xu Nianqing's anger.

Just close the door and let Xu Nian chime go!
How cool it would be if I took Xu Nianqing with me on the trip to Jingshan Company, tsk tsk.

Unexpectedly, I just stared blankly for a while, looked out of the window, and accidentally discovered the hidden attributes in the bones of my subordinates.

Big gain!
"Oh, by the way, regarding the declining revenue of "Master of Rhythm" you mentioned just now, you just need to negotiate the copyright of these songs. The first release is only the first stage of Master Rhythm's efforts. These songs Taking it down is the real outbreak period of the Rhythm Master." Chu Jun smiled lightly.

Xu Nianqing stepped forward curiously, took the list that Chu Jun handed over, and looked at it carefully.

Among them are some famous songs similar to "Purple Passion" and "Flight of the Bumble Bee".

There are also some Japanese songs such as "Six Trillion Years" and "Snow Moon Flower" that she has never heard of.

"These copyrights seem to be very expensive...especially the ones like Purple Passion..." Xu Nianqing felt sorry for the money, and wanted to find out the calculator he carried with him to settle the score: "Why did the Rhythm Master just buy these songs after buying these songs?" Will it usher in a real outbreak?"

"Because..." Chu Jun stretched his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile, "They are called Demon King Songs."

"Devil King Song?" Xu Nianqing's expression was serious.

I always feel that these songs are amazing.

"Yes, the music scores adapted from their rhythms exceed the upper limit of normal human reactions. Ordinary players cannot pass the level. Only after countless setbacks and attempts, there is a slight possibility of passing the level."

"Ah?" Xu Nianqing blinked blankly: "But now, many players have protested, saying that the score is too difficult, and they are always stuck in the same level, and they all want to abandon the pit."

"Release this kind of devil song...will it directly destroy the good reputation of "Master of Rhythm"?"

"No." Chu Jun shook his head: "A song that is too difficult will dissuade players. An extremely difficult song will attract players."

"What is this... what is the reason?" Xu Nianqing was a little incoherent.

Chu Jun smiled slightly, but did not answer.

"Then, I'll get in touch now." Seeing that his boss looked confident, Xu Nianqing didn't refute anymore, put away the list and left.

When going out, many employees of the company quietly gave Xu Nianqing a thumbs up.

"Secretary Xu is too fierce, we can hear you scolding President Chu through the wall..."

"Sister Qingzi is good at it, she can deal with it! She really scolds me when something happens!"

"It's too ruthless. I am sister Xu in society, and Lu Ziye is beautiful."

"Don't talk about it! I just saw the company's performance decline, and I was impatient... President Chu is still very good, and he didn't make things difficult for me." Xu Nianqing's pretty face flushed, she lowered her head in embarrassment and explained a few words, then Leaving in a hurry, she began to get busy with what Chu Jun told her.

at the same time.

Phoenix Interactive Entertainment Company.

"How is the progress of "Music Century"?" Zhuang Ding walked back and forth in the project department with his hands behind his back, and asked after a while.

Audio games have become a hot topic recently, and almost all the powerful manufacturers are secretly working overtime to develop audio games.

Zhuang Ding's side was even worse. After temporarily holding the power, he directly stopped several other project departments.

Combine three or four departments temporarily, and work together to impact the development progress of the audio game "Music Century".

As for the game framework, the Rhythm Master puts it here, just peel it off, and then modify it to make it completely new.

Who can say it's plagiarism?
When the turn-based system was popular before, so many turn-based games were changed without changing the medicine, and no one jumped out to say who copied who.

The definitions of copying and plagiarism are very vague in law.

If the definition is shallow, plagiarism will be very bad.

However, if the definition is deep, innovation will be greatly restricted.

After all, every genius starts from copying.

Therefore, the definitions of plagiarism in Bluestar countries are almost all ambiguous.

"Director Zhuang, the public beta is about a week away. As for the frame cover, we only need to change the program and reset the art. The music track is already under discussion."

"Well, how difficult are those scores?" Zhuang Ding asked again with concern.

As long as he can do this well, it is not impossible for him to overthrow Ling Tianhang directly and become the game director.

Ling Tianhang has been in the position of director for too long, and he is not comprehensive enough to see many things.

The age is also gradually approaching fifty, unlike myself, less than forty, which is the period of the mainstay.

"The difficulty of the score is also borrowed from the master of rhythm. It is divided into ten levels of difficulty from level 1 to level 10." As soon as his subordinate finished speaking, Zhuang Ding suddenly spoke.

"No."

"what?"

"It's too difficult." He shook his head, directly borrowed the employee's computer, and opened the Rhythm Master: "You all come over and take a look, the recent review of the Rhythm Master."

The director spoke, and many employees gathered together.

I saw that there was still a lot of applause in the "Master of Rhythm" post bar a few days ago, but there seem to be more and more discordant voices in the past two days.

"Spicy chicken game! Why is it so difficult? The designer is afraid that we players will pass the test, right?"

"It was fairly new to play at the beginning, but it became more and more difficult later on, and it has been abandoned! Do you guys have a similar game, something simpler, recommend one to me."

"Damn! What does it mean that this game exploded the mall in 2000? Who do you look down on? And I spent all my money, why haven't I become stronger? Why are those players who don't spend money still ranked above me? This game Not fair at all!"

"The classics go high and go low. The popularity was so explosive a few days ago. I don't cherish it. The official doesn't change the difficulty. Is it getting cold now? The rhythm master's circle breaking index has now dropped to more than 200, which is really interesting."

"Hey, Junyue Studio should go back and make stand-alone games, their stand-alone games are quite good, online games... My evaluation is not as good as () ()"

Zhuang Ding closed the page, turned around and looked at the employees: "Did you see that? This is the end of the game's difficulty. The game is for the players. What we have to do is treat the players as masters, not Abusing players."

"Junyue Studio is going retrograde in the current environment! Once the novelty of the game is over, the decline of the Rhythm Master is inevitable."

"So, if the difficulty of the track can be lowered, it should be lowered as much as possible. It is best to let every player have a gaming experience."

"Of course, there is a need for difficult tracks. This is to stimulate krypton gold. Ordinary players can't make it through, but krypton gold players can pass the level after buying Xeon characters. Only in this way can krypton gold players have a sense of superiority. Willing to pay."

"So, cut out the originally set 9th and 10th level tracks, and set the upper limit of the regular level only to the 8th level cap."

"Level 9-10 music scores, make them into hidden songs. Then match the clearance characters and props related to the hidden songs. Only by buying them can you pass the level."

"Yes, Director Zhuang."

When the employees heard that Zhuang Ding's analysis made sense, they immediately responded.

Time passed silently.

Another week passed.

During this week, Phoenix Interactive Entertainment first launched the closed beta of the same type of audio game "Music Century".

Once it was launched, many players who had complained about Rhythm Master turned to try it out one after another.

Because the difficulty of the game is more friendly to the people, it has attracted praise from countless passers-by players.

Moreover, after the upper limit of recharge was raised, the gap between local tyrants and civilians was significantly widened, allowing many local tyrants to find a sense of presence in the game.

After buying characters with various cool skills, many hidden tracks can be cleared almost without injury.

On the major rankings, the local tyrants gradually overwhelmed the technical party and gained a place.

Every day when I have nothing to do, I spend CPDD on the World Channel and show off the market rankings by the way.

"Music Century" is an improved substitute of "Master of Rhythm", and its revenue has been rising steadily during the closed beta.

Furthermore, Phoenix Interactive Entertainment, as one of the leading domestic online game companies, is willing to spend money.

Although it is not as big as Wanyi, Penguin, Shiyou and other giants, it is not stingy in publicity.

However, in just three days, no matter in terms of payment rate, payment ratio, player stickiness, or word-of-mouth, he directly overtook "Master of Rhythm" in all directions!
It has become the No.1 new online game in May, beating the second place "Master of Rhythm" by almost double the data.

On the other hand, "Master of Rhythm", the pioneer of Guanyinyou, has been like Big Ben on the Tower of London for nearly half a month, swinging in place without any movement.

The "Music Century" bar is very lively.

""Master of Rhythm" came out and was beaten! Learn from your younger generation!"

"Hey, I've completely given up. The Rhythm Master official has been like a corpse this week. There is no response at all. I slipped away and went to play "Music Century"."

"A big factory is a big factory, and the quality of this game has crushed "Master of Rhythm."

"What is Yinyou? This is the fucking Yinyou! The Gospel of the handicapped party!"

"Dig the grass! You can actually earn 2 krypton!! You will become stronger after you finish krypton! It's so cool! I even rushed to the tenth place in our city's single list!"

Just when "Music Century" received rave reviews.

When the rhythm masters are declining.

at last.

The official "Master of Rhythm" has been silent for nearly half a month.

Finally posted a news.

When many players heard the news, they immediately scoffed.

"I only know about posting news now? It's too late!"

"You decided to modify the difficulty when you saw your job being taken away, right?"

"Do you see that Junyue's studio is kneeling and begging, doesn't it look like a dog?"

"It would be nice to change it early, why do it now, alas."

Even when Zhuang Ding learned the information, he clicked on the official rhythm master blog with a playful expression.

As a result, when players gathered on the Rhythm Master's official blog and saw the post.

Everyone was silent.

"Dear players, the long-awaited version update is finally here! This time, we have made the following changes."

"On the basis of keeping the original difficulty unchanged, we have added 23 devil songs in the difficulty range of 11-20."

"Little junior sister is here waiting for everyone to challenge~"

Players: "???"

Zhuang Ding: "???"

All industry insiders who pay attention to this matter: "???"

　Come, come, I come with an update.

　　There will be another update later, a little later...
