This is the ninth art

Chapter 78 Is the mountain-creator coming to the mountain again?take a break, okay?

"I didn't expect that after eating melon for so long, I actually ate it on my own head." Chen Pingjie looked at the several 'revealing' messages sent from his mobile phone, and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

Chen Pingjie is the general manager of the card game "Heroes of Troubled Times" under Tianyun Games.

Due to the strong enough suppression of peers to follow suit, "Heroes of Troubled Times" has always been the top card game in China, and it is the only one.

It can easily break through [-] million in revenue every quarter.

Although the [-] million revenue still needs to remove various platform commissions, operating costs and other messy expenses.

However, the revenue of [-] million on the books undoubtedly made "Heroes of Troubled Times" another legendary story in the history of domestic games, and was included in the billion-dollar game club by netizens.

As the name suggests, only games with a revenue of over [-] million are eligible to be included, and a number of games with revenues below [-] million on the list will be regularly cleaned up.

The ones that can be ranked in it are all the top games from all over the world in the past [-] years.

Although it is just a ranking list spread among the people, the title is enough to bluff people.

Many new players, whenever they don't know what game to play.

Old players will throw a screenshot of the 'Billions Club' and ask: "Now you should know how to do it? Go play!"

Over time, many game manufacturers have attached great importance to this ranking.

"Heroes of Chaos" ranks 1.33rd in global game revenue with the current highest peak quarterly revenue of 193 million.

There are a total of 200 names on the list, and Heroes of Troubled Times is undoubtedly at the bottom.

But this result is also enough to stand out from the crowd and squeeze into the world-class threshold.

In the Chinese market where the game environment is relatively scarce, the monthly revenue of "Heroes in a Troubled Times" can even break into the top ten in the country.

Ranked first is the unshakable Wannian Yige, Fantasy Westward Journey.

Quarterly revenue of 3.38 million.

The peak is to create the myth of "the most domestic game revenue" of 5.91 million! (Here is a realistic data comparison. Yuanshen’s annual revenue in 20 years is 20 billion knives, equivalent to about 130 billion yuan, and its quarterly revenue is about 33 billion. Yuanshen is not the only one that earns money in all our domestic games. The one with the most money. If you look at the whole world, in 21 years, Sony removed other businesses and only counted game-related businesses, reaching the top with an annual revenue of nearly 1600 billion.)
Of course, these are not what Chen Pingjie is currently concerned about.

"Heroes of a Troubled Times" has passed its peak period, and at its peak, it was only ranked in the top ten in China. There is no way to compare it with Fantasy Westward Journey, and it has never regarded Fantasy Westward Journey as its opponent.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and dialed his subordinate.

Connect soon.

Chen Pingjie briefly explained the matter.

A surprised voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Chen, the game hasn't been released yet, so are we going to make such a fuss?"

It is true that Junyue Company has been in the limelight recently, but there is a limit to one's power.

Even the world's top game manufacturers dare not say that all of their games are hot sellers.

What's more, if you want to challenge the market position of "Heroes in a Troubled Times", it's not that the top ranked companies in China have never tried.

What's the end? It's ugly to lose.

The card market has been stabilized, and the player base is sticky.

If Jun Yue stepped in hastily, it was hard to say whether he would be recognized by the players.

"It's just prepared in advance. After all, I'm not sure whether the information is 100% true. It may be a smoke bomb." Chen Pingjie looked calm, and stretched out his slender fingers to push the black-rimmed glasses: "But it's always good to be prepared. Once Junyue Company Make relevant announcements about the card game, and your mission can begin."

To be honest, Chen Pingjie didn't want to make such a big move.

If it is other small game companies.

After their game is made, the sales will die suddenly, so I don't bother to care about them.

Once the sale is good, the court will walk around and beat them for a fortune.

But if the name of this small game company is Junyue.

Then something is different.

What has this company done?

Chu Jun, the founder of Junyue Games, only relied on three games in the early days of the company's establishment.

Gained 5000 million revenue!
The music-based mobile game "Master of Rhythm", which was launched a month later, had a peak monthly revenue of 3000 million!

Two months after the company was established, its total revenue has exceeded [-] million.

Although in the next two months, due to the surge of similar games and the somewhat subdued enthusiasm of players, the revenue of "Master of Rhythm" has been declining.

So far, it has only maintained a daily revenue of around 50. With this revenue situation, it is definitely impossible to squeeze into the "Game Billion Club".

"After all, I'm still young. If it were me, I would definitely block the way of all other colleagues. Anyone who dares to make music games will sue them until they are afraid, hmph." Said: "It's a pity that a billion-dollar club seed like "Rhythm Master" was wasted."

The upper limit of "Master of Rhythm" obviously stops here.

However, the brand-new collectible concept of the game "Hearthstone" is something that Chen Pingjie has never heard of before.

Moreover, the low-level employee who made a small report to himself did not find out too much confidential information.

No matter how hard Chen Pingjie racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how to play the trading card game.

You give me a card, I give you a card?

It's ridiculous... Junyue, which can make popular games, must not be so childish.

This small company, which has been established for less than three months, has grown at a terrifying speed.

So much so that he had to be cautious.

It is necessary to kill this game in the cradle before Junyue reveals her tricks.

Avoid long nights of dreams.

"Yes, I understand. I will go to the contact person to prepare now." The subordinate responded.

……

A month and a half passed quietly.

As all parts of the country gradually entered the midsummer, the summer vacation that students love and hate has begun.

All major entertainment industries have racked their brains and resorted to [-] kinds of martial arts, firing the first shot in the money grabbing war.

The popular variety shows and youth-oriented film and television works firmly occupy the top of the entertainment list for students.

They account for 31.31% and 29.44% of the daily entertainment time spent by teenagers respectively
Secondly, the major video self-media industries accounted for about 20% of the student market, becoming the third biggest winner of the summer vacation.

Online literature and traditional books together account for 10%
The remaining niche industries carve up less than 10% of the market.

The game industry accounted for only about 1% in previous years.

But this year's game industry seems to have a faint taste of coming to the fore.

Relying on several types of pioneering works launched by Mr. Chu, major manufacturers have followed suit, and most of them have achieved relatively satisfactory results, and they have also attracted some young people.

This year's summer vacation, the entertainment market share occupied by games has increased from 1% in previous years to nearly 3%, which can be described as a huge breakthrough of 300%.

On an inconspicuous afternoon in early July, even the cat lay lazily on the air-conditioned bedroom bay window and refused to look up.

The official Weibo of Junyue Studio, which has close to a million followers, posted a post almost without any warning.

"All the staff of Junyue bring the collectible element card game "Hearthstone", and the closed beta is scheduled to start in mid-July! We will accompany you through this summer vacation!"

A CG about Hearthstone is attached below the animation.

As soon as the news was sent out, hardcore players who suffered from lack of games to play flocked to Weibo.

"I'm coming!"

"First!"

"Hey guy, collectible cards? What is this? I've never heard of it."

"The monster who opened the mountain came to open the mountain again? Would you like to take a rest?"

"Annoyance! It's sold out again, it's all caused by you players!"

"I see? There's something about this CG, what do you want to play when you see it?"

"Don't brag, this CG is just a static picture with some dynamic elements added. Is Junyue company out of money?"

In fact, the quality of Junyue's CG this time is indeed relatively mediocre.

On the one hand, Hearthstone is a game derived from the Warcraft IP, and Warcraft does not exist in this world.

So when each character appeared in CG, it didn't cause too much exclamation.

On the other hand, it is true that Junyue Company has no money for CG.

All the money that could be burned in the public account was burned, and Mr. Chu even allocated 1000 million from his own small private account treasury as idle funds.

Even so.

The words "collectible cards" still attracted strong attention from players.

There are speculations about how the game will be played.

"Would it be like "Heroes of a Troubled Times"? I see a lot of characters appearing on the CG, and it feels like a card game where you buy heroes with money."

"Isn't it? My brother Chu Zi has never let me down in the aspect of rectification, so he shouldn't be so uncreative."

"Who is right? Brother Chu, you can't be overwhelmed with inspiration every day, right? Anyway, judging from the CG, I don't really want to play it. It's just like a game like "Heroes of Troubled Times". Cut a wave of leeks and run away during the summer vacation."

"What do you mean by upstairs? If you say Hearthstone, you say Hearthstone. What happened to you in "Heroes of a Troubled Times"? Don't you agree with the number of characters in the game?"

"Brothers! If you catch someone who smears our "Heroes in Troubled Times", report it to me!"

The wind direction in the comment area, from guessing Hearthstone's gameplay at the beginning, then inexplicably changed to 'someone smears the troubled world'.

Then the rhythm intensified, and finally evolved into Hearthstone openly provoking confrontation, leading to war in troubled times, and trying to take the opportunity to gain popularity.

Just one day later, under Junyue's official blog, the comment section has fallen.

Die-hard fans of the troubled times charged in one after another, blasting wildly.

"Crush, just rub hard!"

"Your kid is called Hearthstone? Can you play any game?"

"Pure passers-by, let me tell you something, I feel very disgusted with this kind of behavior of stepping on the heat! I feel that this game is going to be cool before it comes out."

"Pure passer-by in front of you, change your ID of 'My father in troubled times' before you talk." There were also players from Junyue Company who stood up to defend.

But soon, they were submerged in the sea of ​​people by more violent counterattacks.

In just three days, the wind direction intensified, and the original rumor that Hearthstone was rubbing against the heat of troubled times was fermented by the incident.

It has even become Hearthstone plagiarizing the card gameplay and ideas of the troubled times.

It is precisely a group of passers-by and netizens who are fueling the flames.

Some netizens who have never heard of it before, or who are not interested in Junyue games.

At this time, I finally found a place to vent.

"I used to blow it every day, but something happened now? Laughed to death."

"I've been swiping the screen for a while, and I can't see any news. Why is a game? It's so annoying! It deserves it!"

"Is there anyone out there who can find out if Junyue's previous games are also plagiarized? Generally, this kind of company must be a repeat offender."

"Found it! "Rhythm Master" copied "Music Century"! The gameplay of the two games is almost the same!"

"I lost it!! Really!! I just found the online videos of the two games for comparison. Except for the different characters, scenes and songs, there is almost no difference in the gameplay!"

"The chief person in charge of Music Century seems to be Zhuang Ding! I have paid attention to this person before, and he is the game director of Phoenix Interactive Entertainment."

"Let's go, go and leave a message on his Weibo, and settle the old and new ones together! Fuck the plagiarism dog!"

However, after half an hour, such remarks were silently drowned in an instant.

Because Zhuang Ding, the game director of Phoenix Interactive Entertainment, specially posted a post for this.

"Please don't @我了, "Music Century" is another audio game derived from "Master of Rhythm". For details, you can check the release time of the two games. /Awkward/Awkward"

Zhuang Ding was really embarrassed.

On one side is "Heroes of a Troubled Times", a domestic top-level game work.

On the other side is a new game led by talented game designer Chu Jun.

Gods fighting, how did you get yourself involved...

Quickly wind up and get away dynamically.

In the end, he was targeted by Phoenix Interactive Entertainment players who were eating melons until they flew up.

They suddenly realized that their game company hadn't released a new game for a long time.

So they changed the subject.

"Mr. Zhuang, are there no new games this month?"

"What about next month? Can't it be done next month?"

"Look at the speed at which Junyue's company releases games, how can you sleep at your age! /Slap the table/Slap the table"

Zhuang Ding: "..."

I would say that the reason Junyue Studio was able to release the game so quickly is that Phoenix Interactive Entertainment has at least 50% of the credit!

Of course, even Heizi didn't get satisfactory results from Zhuang Ding.

It doesn't prevent them from continuing to form Junyue company.

Sometimes, there is no reason to love someone.

In the same way, there is no reason to hate a company, it may just be because of some words on the Internet.

"I'm pissed off! I'm really pissed off!"

Tang Wangyue was walking around in the living room wearing cool suspenders and cute little pink slippers.

She also ushered in the summer vacation recently.

After the illustration work came to an end, I had more free time every day.

In addition to molesting Chu Jun and going shopping with female classmates who are close to her, she surfs the Internet intensively every day.

Naturally, I also saw the negative news about Hearthstone.

"What's going on with this year's netizens! The game hasn't been released yet, so how did you put the label of plagiarism on it first?"

Chu Jun stared at her thigh-high hot pants, thoughtfully.

The shorts were so short that it was almost like underwear, and the two white and tender thighs swayed back and forth under his eyelids without reservation.

Chu Jun was still in a daze, and suddenly, his two thighs were almost in front of his eyes.

"Isn't it pretty, uncle?" Tang Wangyue stood in front of Chu Jun condescendingly with her hands on her hips.

The legs that are white enough to shine almost touch the tip of Chu Jun's nose.

"Not bad." Chu Jun nodded concisely.

"Then..." Tang Wangyue rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Uncle, do me a favor, and then I'll touch your leg, okay?"

"It's okay to help, just touch your legs." Chu Jun looked away.

"Tch, in the face of a beautiful girl who is so sexy and hot, and makes such a seductive request in front of you, the uncle is actually indifferent. Are you... not good?" Tang Wangyue peeked at Chu Jun's reaction, wanting to help Provocative method.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jun glanced at her chest.

Suddenly laughed out loud.

"Sexy and hot?"

Hahahaha.

Chu Jun is really helpless.

Tang Wangyue blushed and clenched her fists.

It always felt like a sharp knife had pierced her heart directly.

"President! Experts say it will grow!!"

"Okay, okay, so what are you busy with?" Chu Jun replied firmly.

"Oh, that's right." Tang Wangyue approached, sat down beside Chu Jun, and took out her mobile phone: "Recently, I met a stalking boy from the same department, and I obviously rejected him very directly. But he still sends me harassing text messages every day, and he doesn't know where to get my mobile phone number, it's really annoying!"

Chu Jun glanced at her text message.

Call it harassment, and it is indeed harassment, but every one is "Goddess Tang, is she there?" ','have you eaten?Can I treat you to a meal? ','Goddess Tang, are you asleep? '

Such a very empty and pale greeting.

Chu Jun couldn't help but be speechless.

Dude, you should open up your thinking about chasing girls...

Don't talk about chasing girls with this kind of greeting, nobody cares about you after chasing boys...

"I feel like I don't have a good solution." Chu Jun shrugged, expressing that there was nothing he could do to help.

But Tang Wangyue smiled slyly, switched to WeChat, and found the boy's application in the column of requesting to add friends.

With a shake of the little hand, click Agree!

The other party almost seemed to be in front of the phone around the clock, as soon as he saw that Tang Wangyue had passed the friend application.

A message was sent instantly.

"Goddess Tang, hello, are you still not resting at this late hour?"

"You?" Chu Jun didn't quite understand what she meant.

Don't you want to reject others?Why did you add WeChat again?

But immediately, Tang Wangyue winked at him.

"Uncle, if he knows that I have a boyfriend, he will definitely give up, right?"

"So it's another scene of pretending to be a boyfriend?" Chu Jun sighed.

"Not all." Tang Wangyue smiled sweetly: "Uncle, what you have to do is very simple, isn't it just at night? You can use my mobile phone to send him a voice message, telling him that I have fallen asleep. This It will be a lore!"

In fact, Tang Wangyue didn't want to hurt others like this.

The previous few times, he had already politely refused, but the other party kept stalking him.

You can only use this ultimate move once and for all.

"Oh, that's easy." Chu Jun took the phone from Tang Wangyue and pressed the voice button.

Then, in Tang Wangyue's expectant eyes.

Open your mouth softly.

"I'm already asleep."

Then, send.

Tang Wangyue: "????"

The boy who received the message: "????"

　there will be more
