Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 176 Elf Market Strategy Plan (4k)

Drogo glanced at the store manager, then at his wife.

I never thought that you, an old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually sit at the same table with Epstein.

Old cows eat young grass!
To put it more elegantly, the pear blossoms overshadow the crabapple tree.

The manager noticed that there was surprise and a bit of teasing in Drogo's eyes, mixed with some disgust, and wanted to explain.

"No, no, it's like this, uh..."

He hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain anything, which made him seem even more suspicious.

Huge age differences are not uncommon, and many noble ladies and gentlemen have set new records in this regard.

If you are accidentally exposed, you will become the object of everyone's ridicule.

Mainstream social values ​​are still opposed to such things.

The wife seemed to notice her husband's dilemma and she parted one side of her hair to reveal her pointed ear.

"I am an elf."

"Half-elf?"

"It's the elves."

"Not traveling?"

"I am already 300 years old."

So the old elf was eating the young store manager, Drogo understood.

"Wow."

This was indeed something Drogo had not expected. It was quite common for half-elves to form families with humans because they had lived with humans for many years.

Elves are different, they usually leave behind a half-elf baby and run away. They are such scumbags that they rarely accompany the other party.

Among the racial hybrids, elves combined with other races are the least common.

One reason is that there are few elves, and the other is that the elves have extremely strict requirements for non-elf partners.

First you have to look good, all elves are obsessed with looks.

Even though they claim they don't judge people by appearance, that's because all elves look that way.

Their obsession with looks is not the same as other ethnic groups’ appreciation of appearance, but rather that they think those who are ugly are not worthy of talking to them.

So orcs are beasts in the eyes of elves, and dwarves are dirty and disgusting shorty.

Then the non-elf party must join the elven society, go to their territory, convert to their beliefs, and live according to their way of life.

In short, there are a lot of rules.

As for the current situation, the elf wife came to the city dominated by humans to live with her husband.

It was something that Drogo had only seen a few times in his entire life.

Such a departure from elven society would be seen as a betrayal by other elves.

I don't know what they think, but that's what they think.

Perhaps it is to ensure the elves' appalling fertility rate and prevent the living forces from being separated.

Therefore, the store manager's wife must have been under considerable pressure from her peers, but still chose to live in Shuangta City.

Drogo has already imagined a tragic love story in his mind, enough to make at least dozens of episodes of a soap opera.

The elf meets the ignorant boy, and chooses to leave the tribe for the sake of his sweetheart. The two concepts collide in the city, there are quarrels, setbacks, and misunderstandings from relatives and friends on both sides.

There were many difficulties, but in the end, love conquered all.

The husband, who had reached the end of his life, closed his eyes peacefully in the arms of his wife who seemed never to grow old.

His last words were "I'm sorry I couldn't be with you till the end..."

Then the wife held her husband's old hand and put it on her face, saying something like "fool" or "idiot" with tears in her eyes.

At this time, the ending song starts, a very sad guava song, the perspective is raised little by little, and a meaningful shot of the sunset is given along with the cast and crew list.

Become!

Idol drama!
It’s still an idol drama full of a sense of brokenness!
How can the audience in this world accept this?

All melodramatic plots become unpopular only after they become popular everywhere. Before they become popular everywhere, they are considered classics.

When this little ending is released, the audience will cry their eyes out and write to Drogo's studio, shouting and demanding that the male protagonist be resurrected so that he and the female protagonist can live happily ever after.

Then launch an activity on Weibo, where one copper coin can be used to support the male lead once.

When enough support is gathered, the happy ending will be released.

Deduct 1 to revive the male protagonist!

Finally, it is hinted that the film is adapted from a true story, turning the pet shop into a popular check-in spot.

Now that you're here, don't you want to buy some small animals to take home to heal your soul?
What is the excellent director Long's keen business sense?

"Are you interested in publishing a memoir or something, and then making a romantic drama based on the memoir? I guarantee you will make a lot of money as the prototype of the character." Drogo encouraged.

"It's better not to." The elf declined with a smile.

"Believe me, this story about elves facing resistance from their own tribe and ultimately choosing to come together with humans will definitely be a big hit."

Drogo thought that the other party did not believe in his strength.

After all, according to the data in the survey report sent back by Kailan's mother, the elves really neither watch Magic Vision and Magic Shadow, nor play games very often. Even if they are given a free trial, 80% of them will not respond.

A stagnant market.

"In fact, we encountered no resistance from the elves."

"How can it be."

"I was expelled for violating the elven laws, and then I married him." The elf said truthfully.

Silence is Drogo tonight.

So this is an evil elf girl who chose to be human after being expelled, which greatly reduces the dramatic conflict.

Boring, give me back the poignant story of fighting against the unreasonable oppression of the ethnic group for love.

"How about this, young pet shop manager, save the lost elf girl."

Drogo had an idea.

“If you really want to put our story on Magic Vision, go ahead and shoot it, just don’t reveal that it’s us.” The elf still said with a smile.

Those who have lived in human settlements for many years, such as the one in front of you, or those who communicate frequently with other species, such as Old El, all have some differences in the way they do things from the most traditional elves.

Simply put, there is no sense of arrogance that "I am the Creator and the most perfect creature created by Him."

"It would be good for your pet shop business if you could reveal it," said Drogo.

Of course, it is also his pet business. Drogo has planned to let the orcs engage in pet breeding.

We strive to become the largest supplier of all breed pets in the continent as soon as possible.

There is not much competition in this field at the moment, and once we start, it will probably be the biggest.

I believe that with the ability of orcs to raise lions, tigers and leopards, raising cats should not be a problem, because big cats and small cats are all cats.

"I'm afraid that my former elf relatives and friends will find out that I'm still a criminal." The elf explained.

"They know and they won't..."

Drogo was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that there was a point in the previous sentence that was worthy of attention.

Known by elf relatives and friends.

Why would they know?

"Don't elves have magical vision?" Drogo asked.

"Of course I wouldn't watch it," the store manager's wife replied, "I was recently discussing the plot of 'Young Hero Craig' with my old friends on Weibo."

"Elves like the magic shadow play?"

"I like it anyway, my friends think it's good too, and most elves probably won't be disgusted by it." The store manager's wife said after thinking for a moment.

"And I really like your games." She pointed to the plant dolls displayed at home.

Zhuogo took a closer look. Those were the first batch of sunflower dolls produced. The prices were very high in the fan circle and they were hard to buy.

So she is still a senior game fan.

"But according to our market research report, the elves of the Silver City-State don't have a very ideal response to these things," said Drogo.

The so-called less than ideal does not mean just generally not ideal.

Give it to those elves to try for free, and they won’t say anything good or bad, and most likely they won’t even give any feedback.

It's like two people chatting, one is full of enthusiasm, and the other just says "hmm" to every question.

Even if I reply with a "hmm".

As a dragon who does not believe in the statistics around him and prefers to believe the data in the report.

Drogo strongly suspected that the store manager's wife and her friends were purely niche elves and could not represent the preferences of most elves.

"Hmm..." The store manager's wife was silent for a moment, then asked, "How long did your investigation last?"

"Two months."

This has been a relatively long investigation period for Drogo.

Yo-yo became popular in just two weeks, and two months is enough time for a mobile game to shut down after a lot of deaths.

"That's right. For the elves who have always lived in the city-state, two months is too short. It may be difficult for them to realize that something new has suddenly appeared," she explained.

“Those elves have a different concept of time from us who live in human city-states. Although they are resistant to new things, many of them will still try them.

“It’s just that it can take months or even years from the time they think about trying to the time they actually try.

"If I remember correctly, Shadow of Demon and the game have only been out for two years. It's very likely that most elves have just realized the existence of Shadow of Demon and haven't had the chance to watch it yet."

She shrugged, indicating that she was helpless about the habits of this group of people.

Drogo suddenly realized that the dismal results of the investigation report were not because many elves had not read it, but because they had not even had time to read it.

It seems that all long-lived species have this problem.

He knew a black dragon whose routine in life was to go out and do something big, then lie on a pile of gold coins and sleep for decades, then wake up and do something big again, over and over again.

Among the many causes of feud between dwarves and elves, one was that when the dwarves and elves were still allies, the dwarves were attacked by orcs. The dwarf king asked the elven king for help, but the elven reinforcements did not arrive until half a year later.

When they arrived, the dwarfs' territory had already been looted. The dwarves accused the elves of breaking their alliance, and the elves blamed the dwarves for the city being breached so quickly.

So it wasn't that the Elf King deliberately delayed the rescue back then, it was just that he had a procrastination problem and didn't target the dwarves.

"Then how long do you think it will take for your compatriots to begin to generally accept the magic shadow and the Internet?" Drogo asked tentatively.

"It's hard to say, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years."

Hundreds of years?
Hundreds of years are enough for humans to complete industrialization and fully enter the information age.

Drogo can afford to wait, but old El may not be able to see that day due to his age.

By that time, there will be a generation gap in technology and Drogo won't need to take action. Humans should ask the elves to perform the opening of the door and engage in free trade.

By then, humans might be able to create things like magic missiles.

Legendary elves? How many east winds can the legend withstand?
So El wanted to spread the new technology himself, in order to speed up the elves.

“However, the elves’ efficiency will improve when they encounter something they particularly value or are interested in,” the store manager’s wife added.

Well, the elves and dwarves deserve to be enemies. The rescue arrived half a year late which means they didn’t pay enough attention to their alliance.

Drogo thought that the conflict between the two races was caused by a lot of misunderstandings and injustices.

"In other words, as long as we find something that the elves are interested in, there is still hope of quickly entering the elven market." Drogo concluded.

Just like when Kailan's mother saw Monument Valley, she sold her child without blinking an eye.

"That's right." She nodded.

"Thank you for sharing." Drogo turned and left, preparing to come up with a new thing to target the elves.

Hey, elf.

Watch as Big Drogo slams his way into your market.

"Um, about that pet?" the manager asked quickly when he saw Drogo was about to leave.

"An orc will come to discuss this with you in a couple of days."

After saying that, Drogo left the pet shop and returned to his office.

He would study the survey report carefully, which included the section on hobbies.

Because the data chart on the first page was so bad, I didn’t read the rest of the page carefully.

“I like to spend weeks to months combing through and revisiting my memories.”

This is already known, El's memory magic comes from this hobby.

I can't think of anything that could be made into a show.

“I love art, especially music.”

This has been considered a long time ago, and the work of audio digitization is almost completed, and the magic of listening to music will be launched as planned.

However, the elves were not very interested in this. They preferred the live singing effect, and even the magic crystals for recording could not be sold to them.

To the elves, such music is soulless.

Drogo originally scoffed at such a statement. They thought that talking about the soul just by listening to a song was not enough for them to pretend.

But then I thought about it and it wasn't right. This world really does have souls. Since everyone's visual senses are different, maybe the elves' hearing can really tell whether there is a soul or not.

"Elves like to compete for treasures, and will compare the levels of the treasures they make with each other."

How about doing a treasure appraisal show?

Drogo thought.

Take a small hammer, and whoever loses the treasure fight will smash the treasure on the spot and destroy it.

The effect of the program is there.

The problem is that it is a real treasure, not a fake.

If it is just a pure treasure battle, it seems that there is nothing to watch. If there is a "national treasure gang" among the elves, it would still be worth watching.

Eh!
Drogo suddenly had a good idea. Why not make a paternity test program, find those half-elves, and look for relatives in the elven city-state.

The host dresses up as a judge, and in each episode, after dozens of minutes of wrangling, accompanied by exciting music, he pronounces the verdict on whether the children are biological children.

Oh, it’s so exciting, he wants to watch it.

That’s it. After you deal with the Drogo Group, forget about the elf market anymore. It’s pure enmity.

Insulting the elves!

How was it humiliating?

Broadcast everything the elves have done on Magic Vision.

After much thought, I decided to start with music and forging treasures.

Drogo wrote and drew on paper. Music was easier to make because there were enough templates to refer to.

Competitive variety shows don’t appeal much to elves.

Unlike the drow, who were banished to the Underdark and therefore have a need to be recognized by others.

Elf is really arrogant and is absolutely confident in his own music. If the audience thinks it is not good, that is the audience's problem.

If you want to listen, listen to it. If you don’t, get lost.

That's probably the attitude.

What about the draft?

"Elf 101" or "Elf Creation Camp".

Recruiting players is difficult.

Drogo crossed out the music part first and poked at the words "forging treasures".

Showing the forging process is interesting, but it lacks explosiveness. How can we make the elves more exciting?
At this time, Aisha suddenly came in and said, "Mr. Forge is here, and he wants to ask for an explanation as to why he can't get the Dwarf King skin no matter what."

"Who!" Drogo suddenly reacted and knew who to target.

After a while, the thumping sound of Barn Forge's footsteps could be heard upstairs.

As soon as the door was opened, the loud voice shook the windows.

"Drogo! There's something wrong with the drop rate of your event. Why can't I get the Dwarf King skin after more than 0.1 draws? Isn't the drop rate %?"

Baines shouted angrily.

"Now those little brats in my tribe call me Blackhand Furnace behind my back!"

He was referring to the anniversary celebration event of Auto Chess, where all skins will return, plus new images of the kings of each race.

There is no guarantee for this, so it is normal not to be able to withdraw thousands of dollars.

"Dwarf King, no problem. Are you interested in having a sword-forging competition with the elves?" Drogo asked.
