Chapter 472 Carnival's Imagination
471
Zhu Youxing's office is big enough, even if five or six hundred people have a meeting together, there is no problem, after all, the entire floor is his alone.

All the people in middle and senior positions in the company came here.

Before they came, they already knew what Zhu Yuxing was going to announce, but they still looked with anticipation.

"Everyone, you must now know what this year means for our company, right?"

Airi Hayazawa said loudly without hesitation, "Of course it's the tenth anniversary of the company. Thinking about the ten years I've been in the company, I should really dedicate my entire youth here."

Others also nodded one after another, and many showed expressions of emotion.

Many of them have been with the company for at least five years, and everyone has developed feelings for the company like a real family.

This is also due to the gentle management method that Zhu Yuxing has always pursued. Of course, this is also based on the premise that the benefits of the entire company are very good, and it is also the result of the efforts of these people.

The rapid growth of the company is also a harvest for them, regardless of money or status, as well as the satisfaction of the spiritual world.

Zhu Youxing nodded with a smile: "That's right, at the end of last year I had already started to make arrangements for the [-]th anniversary celebration, and today is the time for me to make a decision, and I will roughly hold the entire celebration Let’s talk about the process, as for the details, it will be up to you to decide.”

"detail?"

Everyone was a little puzzled.

They didn't expect this.

Are there any details that we need to decide for ourselves?
Not just broadcasting a movie, then inviting some well-known musicians, actors, etc. to appear in some shows, and finally announcing the end of the show.

What else could there be other than that?

Seeing everyone's puzzled appearance, Zhu Youxing knew that they obviously hadn't thought so much.

I just happened to be able to teach them a good lesson and tell them how to really celebrate.

Zhu Yuxing said to the crowd: "The celebration I want to hold is not just the kind of celebration that I want to formalize. I prefer to call it a 'carnival', a carnival event that looks at all players."

Carnival?
This is quite understandable.

The national celebrations of some countries are in the form of carnivals, in which countless people participate, and the atmosphere is very lively.

But what about having a carnival about video games?

Nobody knows.

The BlizzCon in the previous life also accumulated experience from holding it again and again, and finally reached its peak in 2016 and 2017.

It was a really good year.

"To put it simply, it can be equivalent to a super-large exhibition only for our company. This time we will not only have a small venue in the exhibition, but this time I will prepare two venues."

At this moment, Zhu Youxing took out the map directly from the side.

The address of the carnival prepared before has been marked on the map.

It was a very large stadium in Tokyo and once hosted world-class events.

There also seems to be plans to refurbish it once in the future, and then prepare for a possible future Olympics.

"This stadium will be our home ground. I plan to hold an e-sports event here. This event will be an official event that belongs to us. If possible, I even hope that the country can be used as a distinction, no longer With the name of the club, I'd like to call it the Video Game World Cup."

Video game World Cup? !

The crowd widened their eyes.

They had never dared to think about this before.

World Cup.

This is a fairly long game.

It is one of the most famous games in football.

Its name is almost comparable to the Olympic Games.

At this time, Zhu Yuxing intends to directly elevate e-sports competitions to the same level as well-known traditional sports events.

This is really a very radical act.

But the developers who participated in the two classic e-sports games, Street Fighter and StarCraft, were very excited.

This is a game developed by yourself, and the game developed by yourself may become a world-class competition in the future. Is there anything more proud than this?
"I am willing to hold this event with the highest standard, and I have some new ideas about e-sports, which can be discussed in detail in the future, and then, in addition to the main venue of the e-sports event, also With this place, I plan to use it as a carnival for players."

At this moment, Zhu Yuxing picked up a pen and drew a circle on an open space near the gymnasium.

"I plan to negotiate with the government, borrow this land temporarily, and then hold a carnival. I can discuss this matter with the government, but the content of the carnival needs to be decided by you."

"Give it to us? What is it to be given to us?" Someone asked.

"Of course it is what you are best at. All of you have plans for future game development, and you can also hold some interview shows in the carnival to talk closely with players about your ideas about game development, and you can also talk about it. What you guys think about each of the characters in the game, those are very interesting things."

Zhu Yuxing began to give them a good description of all the details of the carnival.

These details are enough to make them think of the picture for the first time.

They sat on the stage and talked about video game ideals and some directions about their future game making.

"But President, didn't you say before that if a game is not developed to a certain level, it's best not to publish it?"

To this question, Zhu Yuxing answered bluntly: "Didn't I say it too, it's better not to announce it, but it's not absolutely not to announce it. In the past, our game development cycle was relatively short, so we did almost the same thing. It is reasonable to promote a good game, but now, with the lengthening of the game development cycle, slow promotion is one of the easiest ways to arouse players’ interest.”

In fact, this can also be called drawing a big cake for the players.

But as long as the rhythm is well controlled, this flatbread will be incomparably sweet.

In the future, a 3A game will be developed for three to five years, or even seven or eight years. If there is no news from the beginning to the end, it will affect the publicity effect of the game.

In Zhu Yuxing's view, the original promotion of 2077 was actually very appropriate, but unfortunately this game did not complete the content they promised in the end, and finally led to the collapse of word of mouth, which has to be called a very big regret.

However, there is also a reason that the developers of 2077 must be responsible for the shareholders. If the game is delayed until it is fully completed and then released, those shareholders are expected to jump, which is the result of being restrained by capital.

But Zhu Yuxing doesn't have to be responsible for anyone, so he doesn't have to set a game between release, when he is satisfied with it, and when it will be released, isn't it great.
