Chapter 166 Rotten Oranges

Regarding the ideas and settings of the new game, Chuhe didn't talk much with Charles.

Because he couldn't understand it even after he said it. Although he understood a little, it was obvious that Charles was still quite different from a professional.

This is the reason why the so-called art industry has specialization.

For example, Chuhe doesn't understand anything about the company's personnel management, administration, publicity, and business expansion. They are all managed by professionals, and he only needs to be responsible for major orders and vetoes.

Regarding the cooperation between Tianhe Network and EA, Jinling local officials still attach great importance to it, and this can be regarded as a major breakthrough.

The investment of tens of millions of dollars may not be big in Jinling, but it is definitely not small if it is said to be small.

What really made him fancy was the game industry of Tianhe Network.

Looking at the whole country, it is not that Wangyi and Penguin have not cooperated with foreign first-line game manufacturers.

But there has never been a game that has had such a big impact abroad as Tianhe Network.

Cultural export, this is what the government has been doing. For example, the support for the animation industry and the film industry in recent years is to be able to fight against foreign cultural products. Games are obviously also a very important thing in this link.

Not only preferential policies, but also games with special themes, and even interest-free loans and other benefits. Of course, the amount is not very large in Chuhe's opinion, and it is not used.

Regarding the press conference of the cooperation with EA, although many game media were invited, this time is different from the past. There is no time for the so-called media to speak, because several big leaders above also participated in this conference. A press conference.

Counting the speaking time, Chuhe only spoke for about 15 minutes. The leaders at the one-hour press conference went from Tianhe Network to the industrial park, from the industrial park to Jinling, and finally to the whole country. , Chuhe didn't even know how it got involved.

At the same time, the following major game media reporters are also drowsy.

After the media conference in the afternoon, Chuhe attended a dinner in the evening.

At the dinner, several leaders above also mentioned a few words to Chuhe cryptically.

The meaning is probably to hope that Tianhe Network can make less games like Left [-] Survival, but more games that can showcase Chinese culture like Gu Jian Qi Xia and Jiang Hu.

Chuhe didn't know what to say about this.

Exporting culture with the carrier of games is actually what Chuhe has always wanted to do.

But this is not such an easy thing. The differences brought about by culture, sometimes even the superior gameplay cannot make up for it.

Just like Jianghu, if the background of the entire Jianghu is not the so-called martial arts world, but the background of Lord of the Rings, which is the traditional Western DND background, then there is no doubt that the quality of Jianghu games will definitely be more popular than it is now.

I dare not say that the sales volume has exploded, but it will definitely not be the same as it is now. The overseas sales volume has not even reached 200 million.

Of course, this so-called proposal, Chuhe just smiled and almost passed it.

It is impossible for the higher authorities to cancel the original preferential policies, and the current Tianhe Network can be regarded as a major taxpayer in Jinling.

Although it is not the first, it can also be ranked in the top twenty.

On the second day of the dinner, Chuhe took Charles to visit the Tianhe network.

Different from Tianhe Network, which had nothing in the past, after going through bombing halls, famine, rivers and lakes, and now the road to survival, the entire Tianhe Network has undergone great changes in terms of scale and atmosphere.

Although it is still in the same office building as other companies, the entire fifth floor belongs to Tianhe Network, and the statues of the characters in the game are placed at the entrance of the office.

At the same time, the office is not the same as the general office, where the desks are separated by rows, but it gives people a very sci-fi feeling.

There is also a huge LCD screen on the wall including the office.

"A very good working atmosphere." Charles praised, but he was not surprised. After all, this kind of working environment in EA is not uncommon, and it is even more exciting.

"Actually, many of our players want to visit, but we haven't separated the working area from the visiting area. In the future, we may create a separate visiting passage." Chu He said with a smile.

It took only two years from only a dozen people in Tianhe Network to now there are hundreds of people in the establishment of various studios.

There is no doubt that the future will get better.

"Is this your restaurant? The taste is really great." At noon, Chuhe took Charles to taste the taste in the company's restaurant, and Charles praised with a thumbs up.

"It's really good, but there are some problems, I think I might have to talk to EA." Chu He said looking at Charles.

"What's the problem?" Charles put down the knife and fork in his hand.

"About the payment issue of the Rotten Orange platform." Chu He said seriously.

Why the domestic steam platform can attract so many players is undoubtedly related to its payment method. The steam platform can use Alipay, WeChat and UnionPay.

However, in the early days, platforms such as Rotten Orange and Uplay did not support it, which obviously turned away a large number of interested players.

Recently, upaly has also announced that it will open the synchronization of countries and regions such as Alipay, WeChat and UnionPay.

"Chu, I will report this issue to EA's headquarters, but I can't guarantee it, because to be honest, EA's focus is not on China." Charles nodded and said seriously.

EA is really willing to give up the big market of China?
Of course it is impossible, but the early Battlefield 4, Sims, Need for Speed ​​and many other games were banned in China, so EA had to temporarily shift its focus, and coupled with China's internal policy reasons, the Rotten Orange platform has never Alipay and other convenient ways to use.

As a result, domestic EA players can only use unreliable methods such as purchasing agents to purchase.

Talk to Charles about it, but unlike Chuhe, Charles doesn't have that much power.

On the next day, Charles went back to the EA headquarters. Compared with Chuhe, he was much more busy.

After letting the entire DICE LA team take care of their own residences in three days, and getting acquainted with the studios and various departments under Tianhe Network, Chuhe called the original planners and directors of DICE LA, etc. Core members, prepare to hold a meeting.
