Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

In August, the second season of Winner is Justice also aired a considerable amount of content, basically the ratings stabilized at around 9.6% and stopped increasing.

Of course, it's the same point that was criticized in the second season of this drama in Jing Yu's previous life.

The role of Hanyu is once again hated by everyone. After all, this kind of idealistic character is very annoying to most people.

And in this work, the plot repeatedly hinted that she has a crush on the heroine Dai Machiko, and everyone was extremely upset.

Although, judging from the current plot, Dai Zhenzhizi and Gu Meimen have no tendency to develop in the direction of couples, but even if the heroine is not with the hero, everyone can't bear to be with the hero!

Coupled with the fact that the case of the woman Ando Takakazu who appeared in the first episode has not been resolved, many viewers seem a little impatient.

However, in the Da Zhou version of The Winner Is Justice, although Jing Yu has not changed the plot, he has made adjustments to some of the criticized parts of the original work.

The first is Takakazu Ando's choice of actors. In the second season of the original version, Gu Meimen was once obsessed with her beauty, even regardless of the other party's identity as a suspected murderer.

But from the perspective of the audience in the previous life. Is this actor of Takawa Ando comparable to Gakki (Yui Aragaki)?

Yui Aragaki next to her is so pretty, you scold her for being bow-legged every day, but on the contrary, you like Takawa Ando, ​​who is obviously not as good-looking as Daimachiko played by Yui Aragaki.

This seems awkward to many fans of the winner is justice in the previous life. Although I have been convincing myself in my brain that this is a TV series, don't take it too seriously, but the casting matter has indeed had a great impact on the second season.

So Jing Yu deliberately chose an actor whose more than 95% of the male audience wanted to be Prime Minister Cao after seeing her beauty, to play the role of Takaha Ando

And the choice of actors for Hanyu is not too silly, white and sweet. Although the lines of the plot have not changed much, a character who at least looks a little smarter was chosen to play the role. Therefore, although the winner is the righteous one The reputation of the second season is not as good as the first season, but the ratings are still very stable.

The score of 9.6% is very stable for Yunteng and Jingyu

As for Natsume's Book of Friends, this broadcast mode of one episode a week, each episode lasting more than 20 minutes, has gradually been accepted by the audience. Although the carrier is different, the audience has also developed a habit of following anime similar to Jing Yu's previous life.

At the beginning, seeing Natsume's account of friends being torn down all the time, and knowingly returning it to the monster, the audience was worried that the show would tear up the account of friends soon, and then it would end completely.

But after the latest episode, everyone saw that the account of friends is still such a thick book, and they also understood the setting of this drama..

As for the account of friends, when it will be torn up will depend on when Jing Yu's inspiration runs out. As long as he can continue to create, this drama can be updated until the end of time.

The audience's mentality towards Natsume's drama at the moment is also very strange, a bit similar to those fans of Jing Yu's former famous Detective Conan.

You ask them if they are interested in the ending plot and the true face of the men in black organization?

The answer is naturally yes, but if you ask them if they want to see the ending, I believe most Conan fans will definitely say "no"!

The average payment volume of Natsume's account of friends is also growing very slowly at around 13 million.

Of course, Jing Yu is also paying close attention to this situation.

But this is the limit of the work. For example, the winner is justice and Natsume's Book of Friends. Although their scores are higher than Destiny Zero, their scores are worse than Destiny Zero. This kind of thing has something to do with the subject matter of the work.

Just like Slam Dunk, in terms of the classic degree and overall quality of its works, in most people's minds, it should be slightly stronger than Hokage, but in terms of sales volume and commerciality, five slam dunks may not necessarily catch up with one Hokage.

Leaning back on the chair in the office, Jing Yu put down the weekly report of his work.

time to september

The filming of Evangelion is almost halfway through, and the game production of Destiny Guardian Night is expected to be completed in early October.

By this time, the income from broadcasting and peripheral income from Destiny Zero had also arrived in the account one after another. The income of almost 400 million yuan also filled Jingyu's somewhat dry company account.

After all, in the first half of this year, it was basically just throwing money out, Natsume’s Book of Friends and Winner is Justice, the game production fee of Destiny Guardian Night, the acquisition fee of the game department, and the production fee of Evangelion, although these projects In Jingyu's view, it is basically impossible to lose money, but it will take time for the funds to return, and the funds on the company's books will soon bottom out.

And after the company account has this fund to replenish blood, it will naturally not have too much consideration for the next announcement of the Destiny Guardian Night game.

Of course, after Jing Yu put down the film and television drama report in his hand, he picked up another report.

Since September, game makers in Dazhou have begun to release games intensively.

However, from August to September, some small and medium-sized manufacturers basically released games, and now it is the first ten days of September.

Monroe Games, one of the three major manufacturers in the Dazhou game industry, released the game "Wildness" that they had been preparing for two years.

To be honest, if it is an ordinary game manufacturer, it will not care about the new game data of a big manufacturer like Monroe.

But Jing Yu must be concerned, although most people in the game industry are now very popular because of the popularity of Destiny Zero, which has caused the popularity of Destiny Guardian Night to be extremely high.

But Jing Yu didn't intend to be a salted fish, he invested so much money in this game, he didn't intend to be a big joke in the game world.

[The wilderness has only been online for six days, and the global sales of the game have exceeded 1.1 million copies. It is the highest-selling game in the world since the second half of the year. 】

Jing Yu was delighted to see this report. In July and August, there were no blockbuster games released at all. The games with the highest sales volume before were 300,000 to 400,000 copies in the first week.

In fact, games are just like watching movies. Most of the sales of a game are sold in the first month after it goes online, and 34% of the sales of a game in the first month About ten were sold in the first week.

Of course, this means that the announcement of your game is in place and the quality is normal.

If the quality of the game is so bad that it is advertised as rubbish, or if it is so good that it is so good, then any sales data may happen.

Some games sold 8 or 9 million in the first month.. Then they broke 10 million a year after they went online. This kind of game marketing is done well, and the first wave of leeks was tricked into killing them. But after the leeks were cheated, they found out It's a garbage game, and I'm sure I'm not happy about it and I'm going to give bad reviews, so. Will the second wave of leek reserve army be on the list? Then naturally there will be no more.

Some games sell hundreds of thousands of games in the first month, and then the word-of-mouth is overwhelming, and the sales volume exceeds 10 million. Even in the next few years, the popularity will not decrease for more than ten years, and it is not impossible for the sales to reach tens of millions.

However, there are more than 20 million games in global sales, counting decades of history in the game industry, that is, dozens of games. According to the probability, one game may be released a year in the global game industry, and this game It will take several years or even ten years to accumulate this sales volume, and the probability is very low.

As for Wilderness, the game has a favorable rate of 65%. It sold 1.1 million copies in six days after its launch, and the sales volume in the first week is estimated to be around 1.3 million copies.

Judging from this positive rate, the first month’s sales of 2.5 million points is considered as the sky. And after the first month of launch, the popularity has passed, even if there are discounts and promotions later, the final sales of the game may be more than 3 million. .

Judging from the current situation of the game industry in the Great Zhou Plane, a game can be considered qualified if it can sell one million dollars worldwide after it is launched. However, small and medium-sized game manufacturers may only spend 10 to 20 million to produce a game.

If there are one million sales, you can still make a small profit when you share them in the end. After all, cultural products are the same. In addition to making money from the game itself, the copyright licensing fee and surrounding profits are also quite considerable after the game becomes popular.

And for a game from a big manufacturer like Wilderness, which has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and the price is as high as 198 yuan. If there are three million sales in the end, excluding taxes and fees and sharing ratios... and excluding publicity costs and development costs, a simple game The sales profit is at least over 100 million yuan, which is not too low.

It's just that for Monroe Company, they are definitely not satisfied with the income.

But after the game was launched, the audience responded like this, and there is no way.

After Jing Yu studied the sales data analysis report of the company's staff on the wilderness, he studied for a while, and then called the director of the game division and several employees to the office.

"Have you ever played the game Wilderness?" Jing Yu asked straight to the point.

"Played" the director of the game department was also a little nervous when facing Jing Yu.

"I bought it to play on the first day I came out."

"Oh, I want to play too, but I don't have time." Jing Yu sighed.

He's been busy filming these days, so he doesn't have time to buy games and just play around.

But the speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions. The supervisor below thought that Jing Yu was saying that he didn't work hard all day and still had the energy to play games. His expression turned blank and he explained a few sentences.

"I usually go to bed after getting off work at one o'clock in the morning and play for half an hour. Now I haven't even played the first chapter. After all, I'm in this industry. I always want to understand the market situation of the industry."

Looking at his expression, Jing Yu immediately knew what he had misunderstood, so he paused without saying anything, and went straight to the topic.

"Which one is more fun, Wilderness or the Night of Destiny developed by our company?"

"Fate guards the night." The supervisor said directly without any hesitation.

Jing Yu looked at the employees behind him with the same expression.

"To be honest, I'm here to ask you to assist me in my research, not to flatter me. Generally, as long as I don't have any problems with my work, I won't grudge anyone who puts on shoes for him."

Jing Yu looked at the supervisor.

"You just say it. Tell me your first impression. If I find out that you are still fooling me, I will really be angry."

"Then I'll tell you the truth." The supervisor thought for a while and said.

"In terms of building the combat system, our company is not as good as the Monroe company behind the wilderness."

Jing Yu nodded when he heard this. After all, it was a temporary game branch. It would be unrealistic if the game he produced in half a year was more detailed than the one that others spent two years on.

"But this game. Obviously, it's not a game that focuses on combat. Combat is just an aid. The key is to look at the plot," the director said.

"In terms of the interestingness of the plot, Destiny Guardian Night Explosion of Ten Streets in the Wilderness is more than his old-fashioned main plot of the game where the brave saves the princess. It is estimated that any player who is over a year old in the game will think of it when he sees the plot. vomit."

"Is it that bad?"

"To be honest, the people who are capable of creating good scripts and stories in Dazhou are all in the film and television drama industry. After all, film and television screenwriters make more money than scripters in the game industry." The supervisor looked at Jing Yu.

"Besides, Da Zhou and even game companies all over the world don't pay too much attention to game plots, so the level of script writers who can mix in the game industry may be comparable to that of a genius like you, boss. There is indeed a gap..."

Jing Yu was taken aback when he heard the words. This situation is similar to the European and American games in his previous life. The plot-oriented stand-alone games are basically from Japan, while the European and American games focus on game playability, graphics, and plots. It’s not good, but the overall level is much worse than the Japanese ones.

"Then how much do you think the sales of Destiny Guardian Night will be after it goes online?" Jing Yu turned his eyes and asked a sensitive topic directly.

"I think" the supervisor blinked, sweating.

Jing Yu spent 200 million to acquire the game company, and later added some funds to the game production. After excluding the original assets and real estate of these companies, Jing Yu’s investment in the Fate Guardian Night game is simply counted.

At least more than 150 million, plus the promotional expenses, calculated according to the pricing of this game, 2.3 million sales is the return line of Destiny Guardian Night.

But considering that Jing Yu is definitely trying to make money by making games

"I think there will be at least three million sales." The supervisor looked serious.

How can he guess the sales of the game? Although he thinks that the game plot of Jing Yu's work is really good, how does he know whether the audience will buy it or not?

Anyway, it's not too exaggerated to talk about a sales volume that can make a small profit for this game, even if it doesn't sell, Jing Yu won't hold grudges against him at that time.

"That is to say. You think that the sales volume of Destiny Guardian Night will be similar to that of Wilderness, right?" Jing Yu rubbed his chin.

"."

It's just that the supervisor's expression was a little confused.

It's meant to be pejorative.

"Well, in fact, Wilderness's performance is not bad. The sales volume can reach one million. In fact, many small and medium-sized games have already made a lot of profits. Even for large-scale productions, the global sales volume of three million games is still a small profit. The target data of 5 million sales is a big hit no matter what kind of game it is produced, and more than 10 million is a phenomenon. A game can make the production team eat for a lifetime." The director considered his words.

He wanted to tell Jing Yu that a game with a sales volume of 3 million is really not low. If he, the boss, imagines a game with a sales volume of 7, 8, or even 10 million every day, the employees are also very distressed by the kind of game. In many cases, in the years when games are produced in a big way, seven or eight games come out as soon as they come out. But if it doesn’t come, maybe there won’t be a game with tens of millions of sales in a few years

"Forget it, don't embarrass you, let's go down." Jing Yu saw his pitiful expression.

With a wave of his hand, the person in charge immediately slipped away in relief.

Jing Yu let out a long breath

Considering the popularity of the TV series before Destiny Zero and his investment in Destiny Guardian Night, three million sales is definitely not his psychological goal.

But after all, it is the first time to make a game, and Jing Yu is inevitably a little nervous as November 1st is getting closer.

He is not 100% sure whether this kind of plot-oriented game will be popular in Da Zhou.

Even if Jing Yu reproduced the success of the Destiny series in TV dramas, he might not be able to reproduce its success in games.

In fact, many of his decisions also have a certain amount of gambling.

But if it turns out that the big week audiences like this, then Jing Yu can come up with many works to imitate the production model of Destiny Zero, and engage in dual development of games and film and television dramas.

Such as steel refining, such as giants.

But if the sales volume is not good, then Jing Yu will be more cautious about the development of the game.

Early and mid-September passed by, and the time came to the end of September.
