Chapter 361 Boss Lei: Holy crap, I'm shocked!
In the planning department of the game "Second Starry Night", Chen Jincheng was working in front of a computer.
People from the game planning department, such as Sister Hong and Lei Xiaojun, were watching from the sidelines.
He was obviously trying out the game "Oh no, I'm surrounded by beautiful women".
Since this game is going to be released, we should at least do some hands-on testing.
He proposed this game and wrote the planning script himself, so naturally he personally tested it and confirmed that there were no problems. Then, while Lei was also at Second Star, he uploaded it directly.
A panicked male voice came from the computer screen.
"Where am I? What happened? Is anyone there? What's going on? How did I get here?"
Then Xiaoju, dressed in a sexy outfit, appeared, squatted down, and said coldly, "Have I ever told you that my ex-boyfriends didn't satisfy me... and now you're satisfying me too, understand?"
As she spoke, lightning flashed, and then she took a ball-shaped shovel and began to bury the soil.
This is the bad ending for Zheng Ziyan's storyline.
The male protagonist will be buried alive.
Xiaoju's action of burying people was even more decisive than the original. Her cold and aloof demeanor as a widow gave people the feeling that being buried alive by her would be a blessing.
Chen Jincheng has already played through three of the good endings in each storyline, and then started trying the bad endings. He will play through the entire game, but he won't be able to finish it today, since there are still DLC parts.
Seeing that I played through a few parts without any problems, I can let the game department test the rest themselves. We'll finish testing today, fix any issues quickly, and then upload it tomorrow.
After all, this kind of game doesn't require much skill.
When Chen Jincheng got up, he saw Lei Xiaojun frowning while holding his phone, so he asked in confusion, "Mr. Lei, what's wrong?"
Lei Xiaojun frowned and said, "Why are the people at Happy Elements so stubborn? I talked to their boss about your game and asked them to try to make a mobile version. It would also be a good opportunity for them to buy the adaptation rights from Second Star Entertainment."
"But the other party said that I make mobile phones and don't understand the game market at all. They said that interactive film and games have no market at this stage. Even if the game 'Second Star' is well promoted, it will only rely on your name, Mr. Chen, and its prospects are limited."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jincheng couldn't help but admire President Lei's foresight.
Before he traveled through time, there were indeed mobile interactive movie games, and the two most popular ones were also interactive games with female characters. The game company that made these games was the one that Huawei collaborated with, and they advertised on Douyin (TikTok), which was very effective.
Lei Jun has already figured it out.
LeYuan is one of the largest game partners of Dami Mobile. In another world, it also holds the title of Dami's best partner and has created many games for Dami Mobile, such as "Happy Match" and the later popular "Chinese Paladin World".
However, even now in 18, interactive games haven't really taken off on PC; many are still based on martial arts themes.
Many people have probably played interactive video games like this, where the game visuals aren't in video format, but rather a series of photos paired with options, where different options simply change the photos.
Therefore, it's not surprising that the gaming industry doesn't approve of this type of game.
Moreover, the initial promotion of this world, "It's Over, I'm Surrounded by Beauties," did indeed use his and Cheng's female lead as a gimmick, so what the other party said is not wrong.
However, one thing is certain: this game would have been a hit even without Chan Kam-Ching and his girlfriend.
Another world has already proven that.
That game company, with a cost of 800 million plus 2000 million in advertising, achieved sales of over 1 million for the main storyline. Including DLC and merchandise, the profit reached 1.5 million.
The key point is that in another world, the male and female protagonists of this game are both minor characters with little fame, yet they still achieved this level of sales, which demonstrates the spending power of LSPs.
Now things are different. Chen Jincheng has 4000 million fans, and each of the participating Cheng Nulan has more than 500 million fans. Even Zhang Tianai has more than 1000 million fans.
That lineup is incomparable to what it used to be.
Previously, he had only conservatively estimated that the game could sell 5 million copies.
Now that he and Cheng Nulang are even more famous, the sales figures will be even higher, possibly doubling again. The cost of the game is less than 2000 million, mainly used as appearance fees for girls like Xiaoju.
This project will definitely become a classic example of a small investment yielding a huge return in the gaming industry.
Chen Jincheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Lei Xiaojun, "President Lei, you don't actually need to persuade them. The game industry has its own analysis, but they're not stupid. Once the game goes live tomorrow and they see the sales data, they'll definitely contact you on their own."
"..." Lei Xiaojun was taken aback by what he was said.
It wasn't that he was surprised by Chen Jincheng's solution, but rather that he hadn't thought of such a simple problem and had even argued with the other party about it.
This……
He felt like his intelligence had been lowered while he was next to President Chen.
However, a good partner can indeed make people feel comfortable and relieve them of excessive worries.
Mr. Chen is such a partner in this regard, as evidenced by the series of operations of Ershixingchen.
"However, this game needs Mr. Lei's cooperation in promoting it," Chen Jincheng said with a smile.
"How do we cooperate?" Lei Xiaojun asked, puzzled.
"Mr. Lei, just sit in front of the computer and try playing this game," Chen Jincheng said with a smile, pulling out a chair.
Lei Xiaojun immediately sat down in front of the computer and started playing the game. The next storyline was about Haohao's mother.
Chen Jincheng filmed a video of Lei Xiaojun and the game screen, exclaiming dramatically, "Shocking! What kind of game could make the dignified Boss Lei so addicted?"
"..." Lei Xiaojun was stunned.
Although he roughly knew the other party's intentions as soon as he sat down at the computer, he was still incredibly shocked.
However, he also took out his phone and sent a message to Zhou Ming, the boss of Happy Elements: "Remember to keep an eye on the sales of the game 'Second Generation Stars'."
After filming Lei Xiaojun playing "It's Over, I'm Surrounded by Beauties," Chen Jincheng sent the video directly to Yijin.
The responsibility for reviving and promoting the popularity of "It's Over, I'm Surrounded by Beauties" still lies with these video editing teams.
Jin Mao Tower.
Yi Jin was currently in her studio reviewing the latest edited video clips. The video was, of course, a new one posted by Cai Xiaoyi.
This girl suddenly started hanging out with Sister Hehe, and their video, which was somewhat suggestive of two women, was really eye-catching, so naturally it had to be edited out.
Now, these people in the slicing group are no longer simply slicing up Brother Cheng.
There's no way around it; once each blogger makes money, they hire more people and create more accounts. Cheng Ge alone can't use that many accounts.
He recently started a new account, bringing his total to nearly 1000 accounts.
Fortunately, Cheng's protégés are also great editing material. For Cai Xiaoyi, he arranged 25 accounts to edit and release clips of her. The highlight of this girl's clips is naturally her smile.
Seriously, there are very few smiles on the entire internet that can compare to hers. So, as Brother Cheng said, everyone is sharing her photos and hyping her up as "the innate smile goddess" or "the girl with the sweetest smile on the entire internet."
Just as someone posted the video clip of Cai Xiaoyi, Cheng Ge sent a WeChat message.
Upon seeing the video, he knew he had a big opportunity and immediately shared it in the video editing team's WeChat group.
The video bloggers in the group also popped up all at once.
Brother Cheng has given them another huge boost in popularity and hype.
Lei Jun himself doesn't deserve attention for playing games, but what if he were playing a game called "I'm Doomed, Surrounded by Beauties"?
Everyone knows that this game is also known as "Chen Jincheng Simulator".
Lei Da Lao is now completely engrossed in this game, happily simulating Chen Jincheng. Tell me, are you going to play it or not?
Moreover, this game was already incredibly popular before, so if this video is hyped up, it will immediately become a huge hit.
Second generation of stars.
After Jincheng sent the video to Yijin, he also received a message from Wanxi. Then he said to Lei Xiaojun, "President Lei, the Hanfu design department wants you to come over to take your measurements. They're also designing a custom-made outfit for you, Lei Laohu."
Lei Xiaojun smiled wryly upon hearing this.
It's still Mr. Chen who's going to play.
Lei Laohu.
Then he really needs to win people over with virtue. He can just have the Rice Group hold an event there and give away the latest Rice phones as a way to win people over with virtue.
In that movie, Lei Laohu set up a challenge to find a husband for his daughter. So, he can set up a challenge to find a master for Xiao Ai.
Thinking about it, Lei Xiaojun also said, "President Chen, when my Rice Group holds an event in Jinglan City, shouldn't I, Lei Laohu, set up a challenge?"
Chen Jincheng led Lei Xiaojun to the Hanfu design department, chatting as they walked, and roughly understood what this General Manager Lei meant.
However, since everyone was dressed in Hanfu and the facilities were ancient, the sudden appearance of the rice and mobile phone event seemed a bit out of place.
But if he were to set up a challenge, he did come up with a plan.
That's the storyline from those promotional videos. He initially fought with the suitcase and then traveled through time. It's normal for him to bring rice and a cell phone with him when he travels through time, right?
But Da Mi lost his phone, and it was taken by Lei Laohu, a wealthy man from Jinglan City.
Lei Laohu has now set up a challenge, offering a reward to anyone with extraordinary abilities to identify what this rice-shaped mobile phone is. Successful identification will earn a gift from Lei Laohu.
The gift was, of course, a brand-new rice-themed mobile phone, but it came in a rustic wooden box.
This makes sense.
As for how to organize this arena game, that's a matter for the Rice Group.
After hearing his explanation, Lei Xiaojun's eyes lit up: "President Chen, you always have the best ideas! Let's do it this way. I'll give the instructions to the rice company this afternoon."
As the two chatted, they arrived at the Hanfu design department.
"Mr. Lei, this way please." Wanxi greeted Lei Xiaojun warmly as he arrived.
...
Meanwhile, at Le Element, the boss, Zhou Ming, also held an important meeting with the company's design department.
Because some people have already reached over 500 levels in Happy Match, but haven't met the village chief yet, many people are starting to question whether the village chief even exists.
On this point, Zhou Ming can say with certainty that there was no village chief.
He didn't expect the game to become so popular at first. The village chief was just a background story, and there was no special plot for him. But once it became popular, he started designing levels.
However, some people question whether the existence of the village chief can be proven, so information about the village chief must be left in later levels.
Zhou Ming took out his phone and saw that Lei had sent another message. He shook his head and teased his assistant, "Seriously, it's true that Lei has raised funds for Ershi Xingchen, but he doesn't need to go to such lengths to help them sell their copyrights. Interactive film and games haven't even developed a market on PC yet, let alone on mobile."
However, he was taken aback when he saw the WeChat message. It wasn't a plea for advice, but rather a message urging him to pay attention to the sales of the interactive movie game "Second Generation Star".
In just one sentence, it seems like Lei Jun is very confident in this game.
The cost of this interactive movie game is at most 1000 million. Can it be that Chen Jin's fame can generate sales that even Happy Elements can't help but be tempted by?
Thinking it over, he instructed his assistant: "Keep an eye on the interactive movie game 'Second Star.' If there are any issues with the game, remember to notify me immediately."
Since Mr. Lei has spoken, we should pay attention to it; after all, we can't offend him.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou!" the assistant nodded.
After giving his instructions, Zhou Ming didn't pay any more attention to the matter. Besides Happy Match, they had many other game projects that Happy Elements hadn't completed yet, which was why he wasn't interested in the interactive movie and game changes of Starry Night II.
By the time he finished everything, it was already evening, and he was ready to leave work.
But at that moment, his assistant rushed in and reported, "Mr. Zhou, unbelievable, truly unbelievable!"
