Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1184 - Choice Of Different Games Companies

Chapter 1184: Choice Of Different Games Companies

Everyone listened intently.

When they first came into contact with this script, everyone felt that it was lacking in meaning and the chances of success were not high.

However, now that he heard it, the creative source of this script was actually Boss Pei? And it had been recognized by Boss Pei?

Then this story would be completely different!

After Cui Geng explained his creative intent, many people followed this direction and realized that it was true.

There was a lot of content in this script. There was actually a connotation if one dug deeper!

What’s more, it was not only satirizing the system but also satirizing real economic and cultural problems.

For example, the protagonist in the story, Phil, used a variety show named ‘Successor’ to change people’s thinking to a certain extent. Most of their impression of him changed from an ‘ignorant rich second-generation heir’ to a ‘professional who really understands superheroes’. He further became the ‘only perfect superhero candidate who had hope of saving Hope City’.

In reality, wasn’t some capital also changing people’s thinking through public opinion and various cultural entertainment activities to ultimately benefit themselves?

In the story, Phil’s fans spontaneously entered the information coc.o.o.n room and only believed in public opinion that was beneficial to Phil. They ignored all public opinion that was not beneficial to Phil. In the end, Phil won every battle in the process of running for superheroes.

In reality, wouldn’t some capital be working hard to create an information coc.o.o.n house so that fans and users would become the best soldiers and the most indestructible walls to restrain their wealth?

In the story, the wrong concept of “The rich man’s money comes from working hard, and the rich naturally have n.o.ble character” was similar to the world where Struggle was. It was deeply rooted in the thoughts of ordinary people under repeated publicity. It was like a mental seal, adding an extra shackle to them.

In summary…

‘Successor’ was a little like the superpower version of ‘Struggle’. However, its story was not about the rich struggling in the clouds and the poor struggling in the mud. Instead, it was about the rich thinking of ways to kick all the poor into the mud to defeat all the rich competing with them in the clouds and thus become the only G.o.d high above.

After a long silence, Zhang Zuting said, “I see. I understand what that feeling was about now.”

“When I first saw this script, I did not think about it at all. I only saw a little irony. This irony was not enough to move me.”

“Now, I understand. The reason why this story is not popular is that words are used as a medium. The dimensions of the performance are too lacking. The impact of much of the content is far lesser than the actual scene. Therefore, it is difficult to show such deep content.”

“The reason why Tomorrow is Beautiful and Struggle could succeed was because their medium was a movie and game. They used a lot of content to display all sorts of details so that the audience could completely immerse themselves in it. Only then could the hidden content be unearthed.”

“However, ‘Successor’ is a novel. These satirical content cannot be explained too roughly. The immersion and influence of words alone are not enough. In addition, Zhongdian Chinese Network is ultimately an online literature platform. Your writing and creative habits are all from online literature. It is difficult to control this theme. You cannot display so many details, so you are not very popular.”

“Actually, the framework of this story is quite deep.”

Zhu Xiaoce nodded. “That’s why Boss Pei requested for this work to be adapted into an online drama.”

“The true potential of this story can only be fully unleashed if it is adapted into an online drama!”

“Of course, since this script was not written personally by Boss Pei, the depth might be slightly worse. However, after careful consideration, this is still a good script because the content it expresses is exactly the same as what Boss Pei wants to express.”

“As long as our script writer team works hard together to make up for these shortcomings, this story can still dig out a lot of potential.”

“Boss Pei seems to have a compa.s.sionate heart. He always worries about capital taking control of our lives and further controlling the world. This worry is reflected in some of his works.”

“However, most people feel that this worry is groundless. Perhaps this makes Boss Pei feel a little anxious, so he is very supportive of such topics.”

“I think Boss Pei’s att.i.tude is that even if this online drama will lose money, it must be filmed.”

“That’s because it’s meaningful and valuable!”

Everyone nodded.

Those who had doubts about the script before stopped worrying about this problem.

If Boss Pei felt that there was no problem, he would film it!

Even if they lost money, it would not be a huge blow to Tengda. Boss Pei should be able to take it.

For Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce, even if the web series failed, it probably would not be a huge blow to them. After all, everyone knew from the beginning that it would be very difficult for the web series to make money.

Some things could not be achieved concurrently.

Since they had already made their choice and it was firm enough, they did not have to worry about regret after failing. It would not affect their creative mentality.

Lu Zhiyao took the initiative to express his stance. “Alright! What Boss Pei wants to do is very meaningful. Even if the chances of failure are very high, I will fully support it! It’s not a problem to not ask for remuneration this time. I’m not short of money. I’m very honored to be able to partic.i.p.ate in such a meaningful thing personally!”

Zhang Zuting nodded as well. “That’s right. No matter what, we should help!”

Zhu Xiaoce quickly said, “We definitely can’t not take the remuneration! Not only the remuneration, but we will also cover all the cost of filming in the United States, including the air tickets, accommodation, and so on. We will follow Tengda’s standards.”

“Friends.h.i.+p is friends.h.i.+p, business is business. If Boss Pei finds out that you don’t want remuneration, I’m afraid I won’t be able to continue being a director.”

Zhang Zuting and the others exchanged a knowing look, smiled, and nodded. “Alright!”

Cooperating with Boss Pei was comforting.

Not only would he be satisfied mentally and do meaningful things, but he would also not be treated badly in material aspects.

It was a pity that Tengda Corporation only had Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce as its filming department. The speed of filming was limited.

How good would it be if Tengda had three teams that started filming together and could film six movies a year!

Zhu Xiaoce said, “Alright, we’ll prepare then. We’ll officially set off in two days to complete the filming overseas!”

…

…

August 14th, Tuesday…

In Dawn Games Games platform.

Tang Yishu sent the representative of another games company off and returned to her desk to take a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

She had been a little busy over the past two days, but it was still acceptable.

After all, not all games companies would personally come to interview him.

Meng Chang’s publicity worked over the weekend.

This publicity plan might not be effective and did not attract many players. It was equivalent to spending money to listen to it, but it had at least made a certain amount of popularity.

To gamers, this platform had not even created an application and had not heard of any impressive monopoly games. Naturally, they would not pay much attention to it. However, to many games companies, large-scale advertis.e.m.e.nts meant at least one thing: this platform was quite rich.

This kind of investment might be a little silly, but silly people had a lot of money… Wasn’t that just right?

Thus, on Mondays and Tuesdays, more game developers came over with their own games, wanting to discuss cooperation with Dawn Games.

In fact, some companies came over on Sunday but were rejected because they were not working over the weekend.

Not only that, a large number of companies had also contacted the business side of Dawn Games through the official website and sent the demo that their game was being tested over. They hoped that they could try it out here. If they felt that there was no problem, they would meet again to discuss it in detail.

In the end, more than 90% of the games were wiped out because of bugs!

That was because he had received more games. What’s more, there were games that had been operating steadily for a few months. Thus, when it came to bugs, there was not a situation where no one died.

After all, games that had been operating steadily for a few months might have hundreds of thousands or millions of gamers running around. Some bugs with very low probability would also be reflected and modified by the official platform. As long as the testing teams of these game manufacturers were a little more responsible, these bugs could basically be fixed.

Tang Yishu’s ‘halo’ would only speed up the exposure of bugs and increase the probability of bugs that did not appear easily. However, it would not create bugs that did not exist.

What’s more, this was a matter of probability. A bug that did not appear even after millions of players had run the game through tens of millions of times could be regarded as non-existent. The probability was too low and would not be triggered.

Even so, clearing more than 90% of the games was still a rather shocking ‘result’.

At one point, Li Yada even thought that the latter was going to die before it achieved success.

According to this ratio, how many games could the gaming platform release when it was officially released?

If there were too few games on the entire platform that could be counted with two hands, would they still have the cheek to call themselves a games platform?

However, there were serious bugs in these games. He could not force them to be released.

Thus, he could only hope that these companies would do their best to repair all the bugs as quickly as Yan Qi.

At the moment, these companies were obviously divided into two types.

The first type was like Old Liu. He said that he would modify it, but there was no news after that.

They felt that their game was running well on other platforms. There might be bugs sometimes but it was not impossible to play it, right?

Was there a need to invest so much manpower and resources to modify these bugs for such a newly established small platform? Wouldn’t it be better to have the energy to make a few more clothes and weapons to earn money?

The other type was similar to Yan Qi. No matter how many bugs they found, they promised to modify it steadily until there were no serious bugs.

From the looks of the current situation, the ratio of the companies that the person-in-charge had personally come to the Dawn Games platform to discuss cooperation was about 6: 4. Only 40% of the companies were willing to steadily modify bugs and maintain contact with Dawn gaming platform.

Most of them were small companies.

As for the companies that he had contacted online, the ratio was 9: 1 or even higher. Less than 10% of the companies expressed their willingness to modify these bugs. The remaining 90% had no follow-up.

That was very normal. After all, they could see the appearance of these bugs with their own eyes at the scene. On the other hand, the companies that had sent the game demo remotely would not be able to discover these bugs after receiving feedback from Dawn games platform. They might think that Dawn games platform was deliberately nitpicking and had no sincerity in working with them. Naturally, they would not say anything.

In order to avoid misunderstanding with these companies, Tang Yishu had no choice but to try out the game and record it at the same time. She also sent the video file that showed the bug.

This way, the situation would improve slightly, but the improvement would be very limited.

That was because these companies were not in Jingzhou. It was very difficult to communicate online. It was also very difficult to discover bugs. Since they would probably not be able to meet the requirements of Dawn Games after changing, they might as well not spend this effort.

Now, Li Yada was like a hardworking mouse, diligently collecting chest rubs for the winter.

After saving up a few companies that were willing to fix bugs, he would create a group and pull all the people in charge of these companies in to cheer them up regularly.

What if other games companies gave up working together because of bugs that could not be fixed?

There would be no way to open this gaming platform then!
