Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Generally speaking, the entertainmentization of serious events is not a good thing, but it is indeed happening now.

Because of Asmodeus' incredible idea, a regional war turned into a complete fun thing.

If you are in a bad mood, then go to the devil's live broadcast room and give some gifts, and watch the devil show you some fancy shooting skills to relieve your mood.

I'm in a good mood, so I'll go to the devil's live broadcast room and give some gifts to celebrate.

Asmodeus's live broadcast room has surpassed the record for the number of simultaneous online viewers set by the church's live broadcast room.

As expected, people prefer to do things rather than pray.

No matter whether you feel enlightened or stunned after watching it, it is at least a life.

The devil's greatest victory over the church.

It’s live broadcast!

Moreover, they are constantly improving and innovating, first adding weapons with customized text, then customized pictures, and finally even customized illusions.

Not only did they make tricks on the weapons themselves, they even made tricks on the flames produced by the explosions.

In that scene, a shell fired, killing the Varian army and a line of words popped out in the flames.

"XX will always love XX..."

It’s hard to imagine that this is something a human could do.

No, it’s definitely not something that a human can do.

Asmodeus also launched an advertising slogan, "If you love him/her, shoot for him/her."

Sounds weird.

Fortunately, this is still a simple era, and personal pronouns only require he and she.

If fighting right away was weird enough, then confessing love while fighting was completely beyond Drogo's understanding.

What kind of brain circuit can connect love and death in a physical sense.

The most hellish joke of all time.

What was even more incomprehensible to Drogo was that this project was quite popular.

The local people of Feilin also have unusual thinking patterns.

Asmodeus went a step further and launched the "Ultimate" grenade, which can only be used once per account to show loyalty.

After the fight, you will be given a ring made of shrapnel.

Drogo didn't understand, and Drogo was shocked.

Asmodeus really made me understand.

good thing.

Because every gift given in that live broadcast room will be taken heavily by Drogo.

So cool.

So Drogo pushed the live broadcast room of Hell hard, and the dragon and the ghost worked together.

They made money, the audience was happy, and the people of Augustan had hope of freedom.

A world where only Villian is hurt is born!
The success of Devil has made more organizations see the value of live streaming, and they are considering whether to invest heavily in live streaming.

It was of course nice to have money sent to you, but Drogo, contrary to his usual habit, actually dissuaded most of the merchant groups who wanted to do live broadcasts on impulse.

It is recommended that they do not spend money on playing.

The business groups that came to negotiate the deal were very uncomfortable with it and thought they had given too little.

In fact, Zhuo Ge is considering the future of the live broadcast platform.

The cost of live streaming is currently too high, but in theory it won’t take too long to reduce the cost significantly.

Moreover, the biggest channel for monetization through live streaming, namely selling goods, has not yet been launched.

The amount of money that can be earned from gifts alone is still small, and it is even rarer to be able to do such an abstract job as Asmodeus and generate income from gifts.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any anchors on the planet who would switch to selling goods.

The prerequisite for selling goods is to be able to shop online, and the basis of online shopping is logistics.

Drogo doesn't have any now, and there are none on the mainland.

The common method of transmitting objects over long distances now is by teleportation.

That thing can't do logistics.

The express delivery fee is several times the price of the product itself, so there is no chance that it can be sold.

Therefore, entering the live broadcast industry now is likely to be a losing business.

Zhuo Ge was worried that these people would rush in at this time, suffer a great loss, cry out for money, and lose confidence in the live broadcast industry.

When live streaming comes out after the foundation is in place, costs are reduced, and monetization channels are expanded, it will be very troublesome if they dare not try it because they are afraid of the ropes after being bitten once.

We cannot give up the opportunity to reap greater rewards in the future just for the sake of a little immediate benefit.

It would be better to take this opportunity to improve the favorability of the major business groups.

So, Drogo showed his conscience for once.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of live streaming to these business groups and paint a rosy picture of the future.

After the discussion, representatives from several major merchant groups praised Drogo in unison as a good merchant dragon.

Achievements, recognition from peers, have been achieved.

However, although Zhuogo has a tall image in the eyes of his peers, he seems to have a less serious image in the eyes of his employees.

"What do you mean by 'organizing' this anti-war art festival?"

Drogo looked at the game department employees in front of him.

They united today, selected some core members as representatives, and found Drogo, hoping to ask him to organize the anti-war art festival which is currently in full swing.

Drogo had heard of the festival, but paid it little attention.

It seems to be a call for artists from all over the continent to create works of art with the theme of opposing war and pursuing peace. These works will be auctioned publicly and the final proceeds will be donated to public welfare in the city of Augustan.

It is a very common charity event that pops up every once in a while, except that the scale this time is a little bigger, and there is nothing special about it.

"Can anyone explain to me what this '搞' means?"

Drogo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's right, that's right," said You Fei, a young girl who was a technical talent but insisted on doing artistic creation. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Use your most common methods, the media, public opinion, etc., to ruin the reputation of this art festival."

"what?"

Drogo didn't expect that you, Yuffie, a seemingly quiet little girl, turned out to be a good candidate for our evil camp.

"What do you mean my most common method is to use media and public opinion to do bad things?"

As soon as this was said, everyone in the office looked at Drogo eagerly, as if to say, "Isn't it?"

"I got my start by relying on the strength of my products, okay!" Zhuo Ge wanted to clear his name. He was a good businessman in the eyes of his peers.

"No conflict." Everyone responded.

If this were a comic, Drogo would have a lot of angry signs drawn on his face now, made up of three or four arcs.

At this moment I really want to deduct their wages.

But I endured it.

These people in the gaming department are the group's valuable assets, so we should coax them if we can.

Anyway, all the gold coins earned will eventually go into Drogo's swimming pool.

"Okay, you win. Let's get down to business. Isn't this art festival for charity?"

"Yes," Yuffie replied.

"If they want to do charity work, then just do it. Why do you want to ruin their reputation?"

"No, no," Youfei waved her hands quickly, "We're not really trying to ruin the art festival. We just want to put a little pressure on them so they can accept the game."

"Ow—"

Drogo responded, "I see, it's because this art festival doesn't want to bring games."

Several people nodded immediately. "So you want me to find a way to let them take you out to play."

Several people nodded vigorously.

What's the feeling when this kind of child gets bullied outside and then goes home to vent his anger on his parents?

"Why bother?" Drogo scratched his head. "People don't like you anymore, why do you have to get close to them?"

"Because I think games can be considered a form of art and should not be looked down upon." Yufei answered seriously.

Seeing how serious she was, Drogo also took it a little more seriously.

In his impression, he seemed to have become accustomed to the fact that the gaming industry was looked down upon.

You look down on yours, and I make mine.

No delay.

In the end, those people who had originally looked down on the game, seeing that the game was making so much money, started to shamelessly get in on the action.

It feels like a child who was abandoned since childhood and became successful on his own. At this time, his parents come to him, talk about the grace of raising him, and give him support again.

So Drogo had long since learned not to care much about what other people thought.

But Yufei and the others have never had such experience, so naturally they don’t have such a mentality.

And indeed, why games deserve to be unpopular.

Although the quality of games varies greatly and there are good and bad people, this is true for all art forms. The focus is on the ability of the creator, not the form itself.

"So, what is the reason for the festival to refuse participation in the game?" asked Drogo.

"They say that the game format has only been around for too long, has not formed a system, is not unique, and has not shown the depth and thoughtfulness that are necessary for an excellent medium."

Pretending makes sense.

And it is true that so far Drogo has not launched any deep and thoughtful games, everything is still mainly for fun.

After all, the goal is to make money.

That's definitely more fun and more profitable than depth.

Who likes to be educated while having fun and relaxing?

"Wait, what about Magic Shadow, Magic Shadow TV series, and animation? Aren't these three also forms that were born too recently?"

Drogo discovered that the same reason could be applied to the Shadow.

What makes Shadow of Magic better than the game is that now there are several really "remarkable" Shadow of Magic movies.

"Because Magic Shadow is supported by the Drama Guild, and drama is an art form accepted by them, so they say Magic Shadow is a derivative of performing arts."

That's too narrow-minded. Magic movie is more than just performing arts. A magic movie cannot be made with just a director and actors.

This thing should be considered a complex art form, which requires the participation of many traditional arts.

As for the game, it is more complex than the movie.

"As for animation, most of the artists in the Artists Guild are from our animation studio."

In the end, it’s because the game has no one to support it.

"I see what you mean."

"Really? Does that mean we can participate in the art festival soon?" Yufei asked excitedly.

"No."

"what?"

"I have a better idea. Since they are unwilling to accept it, why do they have to rush to seek recognition? Can we hold our own charity event?"

Zhuo Ge suggested: "We will completely match their anti-war art festival. We will hold an anti-war game festival. We will follow their process and donate at the end. We will see who attracts more people."

The game has to stand and donate the money!

Once games demonstrate their power, other traditional arts will come to them.

Who can't get along with money?

Don't ask for approval. Let those who oppose you realize their mistakes.

"But I won't help you cheat or make money on your own. Whether you can beat traditional art forms depends on your performance. If you can't beat them, don't come to me and cry."

"Okay!" Yuffie replied.

She looked very confident, but the others who came with her were not so good and looked listless.

"You don't have any confidence in yourself, do you?"

Hearing what Drogo said, Yuffie was the first to get excited. She immediately turned to her colleagues and asked, "How can you not have confidence?"

"I don't think what we make will be particularly popular." Someone said weakly.

"Oh, you have made something?" Drogo asked with interest.

"Yes, in order to participate in the art festival, we made some trial games in advance. The production cycle of a game must be longer than that of painting a picture or writing a song."

“Can I experience it for myself?”

"of course can."

It’s been a while since Drogo had a hands-on experience with one of his own original games.

Soon, he started testing demos one by one.

Most of the trial content is not long, and many art resources are not fully filled. If you don’t really like the game, you may not be able to play this pile of cobbled together things.

This is why many games choose scroll art.

Because art is the first feeling, spending money will be useful.

As for how to play, spending money may not necessarily work.

Generally speaking, as long as the graphics are good enough and the gameplay is a pure canned game, there will be a large number of players who can continue to play it. They may not say how much they like it, but they can definitely accept it and will buy it.

But if a game that relies on its graphics insists on mixing shit with excellent art, it means it doesn't understand its own audience.

Many of Zhuogo's employees also choose to focus on art.

With the limited art resources produced in a short time, we tried our best to make it exquisite and stylized.

It turns out that making games is a life of hard work.

It's hard to imagine how they find time to produce these things after work.

There are obvious problems with doing this. The game is boring to play, and after the impact of the art wears off, the experience becomes useless.

In addition to art, there are also people who work hard on the text, as if they are trying hard to prove that they have "depth".

The only interesting thing is Yuffie's demo.

She made a first-person shooter, but with magic.

And it cleverly creates a sense of contrast. The controlled character is not the absolute protagonist. After dying in the game, the character will switch to another character. It is no longer like in most games where only one character fights to the end.

It creates a feeling of fighting one after another in war and shows the cruelty of war.

The problem is that I wanted to show the cruelty of war so much that it was incredibly difficult.

I played only one level of the trial game, and was completely deranged by Drogo's death.

Even if he is not a master of the game, he is still among the above-average players.

After the basic experience, Drogo expressed his opinion.

"You are too eager to be recognized by traditional art. If you are only working on fine art or text, why don't you choose pure art or novels instead of playing games?"

This sentence silenced the employees.

"Remember my previous lecture about the special features of games that are different from other forms of entertainment? What are they?"

"Interaction, yes interaction." Yufei replied.

She was also the only one who made a somewhat interesting trial of the interaction.

"Yes, interaction. So if you have something you want to express, you shouldn't just put it in front of the players with dry text or pictures. You should integrate it into the interaction so that the players can understand what you want to express through the interactive operation. The current situation is too much like a lecture, and no one likes a game that is like a lecture."

Drogo thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently. Since we have decided to hold this anti-war game festival, I will also do a trial run as a demonstration. You can refer to it." (End of this chapter)
