fish out a entertainer

Chapter 94 I need a group of people with mediocre abilities

Small notice, today’s single update, we have to catch up on the plot.If I owe an update, I'll make it up in two days.

--------------------------------

The sudden change in popularity rules caused Li Yi's income to drop by as much as [-]% to [-]%.

Li Yi was so angry that he wanted to hack the system guy to death with a knife.

Unfortunately, the system does not have a physical body.

After some depression, Li Yi also let out a long sigh helplessly.

I'm too south!

Seeing that it was about to take off, the system suddenly slapped me, taking pictures of myself from Mount Everest to the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.

What can you do?
I can only choose to be strong and not let myself shed tears.

Now that things have come to this, Li Yi also needs to make a little change to his future development policy.

Originally, Li Yi even considered reducing the update of web articles after the company developed and expanded, or even directly discarded the web articles.

After all, the popularity ceiling of web articles is much lower than that of other cultural carriers.

A popular animation or game can be compared to the accumulation of several months of online articles.What's more, you don't have to work hard to make games or animations, and you have to work hard to update web articles.

The idea used to be wonderful.

But not anymore!

Right now, "Hit, Make a Big Watermelon" has gained a popularity value similar to that of "Top Grade Poor Scholar".The income of "Hit, Make a Big Watermelon" was far higher than that of "Top Grade Poor Scholar".

There is no doubt that this is about engagement.

"Shangpin Hanshi" with 100% participation can be on par with "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" with 60% participation.

So what was originally a dispensable online article instantly became one of the few important sources of popularity for Li Yi that could achieve 100% participation.

Li Yi not only wants to continue writing web articles, but also strives to write every type of web articles!
The fundamental mechanism of popularity has not changed - each person can only contribute once.

Now "The Good Man" is making waves on the History Channel, basically sucking up all the popularity of the History Channel.Even if Li Yi writes another historical novel that can surpass "The Superior Hanshi", he will never be able to gain the same popularity as "The Superior Hanshi".

Just like the leeks that have been cut off, don't think about harvesting them in a short time.

Li Yi could only choose to go to other places where the leeks had not been harvested.

Moreover, writing historical texts is very troublesome. Although the history of another world is the same as this world, the details are different.Li Yi needed to revise the details one by one. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yi spent roughly the same amount of time revising the details of "The Superior Hanshi" and continuing to write 80 words.

Therefore, Li Yi, the historical text, is unwilling to touch it again if he is killed in the future.

Therefore, there are only a few options left in the online article, namely fairy tale, urban, and fantasy.

Other categories such as history, science fiction, fantasy, games, and the newly-emerged Two-dimensional in recent years are considered to be the second echelon categories, which are worse than the first three categories, while other suspense, military, martial arts, and sports are not said
Li Yi may not even be able to earn back his popularity points invested in unpopular categories.

So what genre should I write next?
The city was killed first, and the city in another world must be different from his own world.Although I seem to be enjoying myself, it is not easy to send it to the origin.I currently don't have the popularity to spend 10 popularity to pick up a novel just for myself to read.

At present, the remaining 356.6145 popularity points are Li Yi's entire net worth. This is really a waste of money.If all these popularity points are used up, it will be extremely difficult for Li Yi to rely on his own ability to accumulate popularity points.

Therefore, Li Yi must ensure that he can at least recover the cost for every [-] popularity points he pays, otherwise, he will not be able to make ends meet, and his popularity will soon be empty.

Then the only types left to choose are Xianxia and Fantasy.

These two types are basically pure fiction, and you don’t need to spend too much effort to modify them. Moreover, the audience base is large, and if the quality is high, it can easily become popular.Moreover, these two types of books generally have a lot of words. If Li Yi gets a novel with 500 million words, Li Yi, who vowed not to hit the list again, can serialize it for a long time, and can calmly collect popularity points.

After the direction of web articles was finalized, Li Yi began to think about other directions.

The first to bear the brunt is the game industry.

The annual output value of China's game industry of more than 3000 billion yuan is an extremely huge cake, and countless foreign manufacturers want to come in and get a piece of it, but they can't ask for it.

A large market means that the ceiling of popularity is also extremely high.

Li Yi is in China, so of course he has to be close to the water to get the moon first.Although "Chinese Parents" hit the street, it doesn't matter. Failure is success, and failure makes progress.

But there is one thing that Li Yi is more distressed, that is, Li Yi is not familiar with the specific production process of the game.Although there is a creative platform that can make up for Li Yi's shortcomings, Li Yi can make it fast.

But this method is like a designer who can only use design software but not paint. It can only be regarded as an artist, not a designer.

Some small games Li Yi can use the cloud game creation platform for simple production.

But some big games can't do this anymore.

The reason why mini-games are easy to make is that you can purchase templates on the cloud platform and apply and modify them. This kind of reskinned games is very easy.Moreover, the material library of the cloud platform is extremely large.

But when making large-scale games, the materials in the cloud platform's material library can only be used as reference and cannot be directly applied.It is basically equivalent to making it from scratch, and well-known game companies will not just sell the templates of large-scale games. These are the core business secrets of each company.

This is also the reason why the game creator platform was born in China, but so far it has not been able to produce large-scale boutique stand-alone games.At most, there are some more boutique small and medium-sized line guns.

The investment cost required for large-scale games is too high. Even if there is a cloud game creation platform that can reduce it a little, it will not be reduced by much.

Domestic game manufacturers are not unwilling to produce large-scale stand-alone machines, but they are unable to do so.

Domestic manufacturers are all masters in online games. When it comes to online game production and marketing methods, Chinese game manufacturers can be proud of the top of the world.

But for the major manufacturers of stand-alone games, they are really blind.

The key is that large-scale 3A stand-alone games do not just rely on spending money.

Without technology and talents in this field, money will not make any money.And stand-alone games are really far behind online games in terms of making money.

Moreover, the market share of PC games is now more than half occupied by mobile games, and China does not have the best soil for the survival of large-scale 3A games-hosts.The console market, which is the most suitable soil for large-scale stand-alone survival, has always been dominated by Western game manufacturers.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the major manufacturers in China simply gave up their development plans for large-scale 3A games, and went all out to attack the mobile games that have risen strongly in recent years.For stand-alone games, just launch a few support plans symbolically and you're done. You don't need to make money, it's just a signal to many players in Huaxia.

stand-alone?I pay attention
However, even if the domestic stand-alone game market is not good, it will not be able to get into the eyes of those game giants with a market value of hundreds of billions or trillions.

But for some small companies, the Huaxia stand-alone game is a piece of virgin land that needs to be reclaimed. Not to mention reaching the pinnacle of life, but if it is well managed, it will be no problem to earn enough food and clothing.

Especially after the emergence of cloud game creation platforms.

The biggest beneficiaries of cloud game creation platforms are not game giants, because their projects are large, complex, original, and costly.

But for small game companies, especially some studios and independent developers, the cloud game creation platform is simply an artifact.

The development cycle of the game is shortened exponentially, which can save several percent of the game development funds.This also makes many small game companies live more nourishing.

In the past two years, some small companies, studios, and even individual game developers have suddenly become popular, with sales exceeding hundreds of thousands of units, turning pheasants into phoenixes overnight.

There are only two people in Li Yi's current company, one is his own boss and the other is Zhang Lingyun, his assistant. He has no employees at all, which is miserable.

It's time to hire!

The game "Chinese Parent" is very simple, so Li Yi can make it himself.

But some slightly complicated games, especially those involving a lot of values, a lot of copywriting, and a lot of details, are not something Li Yi can do alone.

In other words, when Li Yi finished cooking, the day lily would be cold.

So Li Yi needs a team.

And this team can't be too good, otherwise, the project will be done by them, and I won't get any participation.

But you can’t be too newbie, otherwise it won’t work if you find a group of people who come in to make a living. You don’t start your own company to provide for people’s retirement.

Therefore, it is best to be a group of hardworking, simple, practical and capable people with mediocre abilities.
