This man knows how to hype

Chapter 581 Are you really here to play games?
In the audio-visual room.

Little Wu Wuxi, holding the handle in his hand, looked at the staff who were debugging next to him.

Then, his eyes fell on Xu Xiyu, who was still chatting with his uncle Han Yixiao.

That's right, Wu Xi is actually Han Yixiao's nephew. Otherwise, with Han Yixiao's level, it would be absolutely impossible for him to bring someone of Wu Xi's level here.

The purpose of bringing Wu Xi here was very simple. He hoped that Wu Xi and Xu Xiyu, who was of the same age, could establish a good relationship. Maybe it would have a miraculous effect in the future.

Therefore, Han Yixiao did not hide Wu Xi's identity from Xu Xiyu and Shan Xinbao, but introduced him openly.

It was also for this reason that Han Yixiao tolerated Wu Xi sitting here to try out the game.

As I just said, Wu Xi is a senior game enthusiast and he has a good understanding of the domestic game market.

In the domestic game market, long-term online games have really become very popular, with high revenues being the envy of peers around the world.

But in terms of large-scale stand-alone games, we can only say that there is still a long way to go.

At least, in his opinion, he would never believe the visual effects in the promotional video. Not only himself, but no one else would believe it either.

Han Yixiao naturally didn't have as many ideas as Wu Xi.

Instead, he continued to communicate with Xu Xiyu happily: "Boss Xu, I really didn't expect that you also have a game..."

"Holy crap?!!!" Before he could finish his words, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the side.

This movement made Han Yixiao's eyebrows stand up instantly. He turned his head to Wu Xi and said: "Wu Xi, are you done yet?!"

"Uncle... No, Director, look, look at this picture!" Wu Xi pointed at the screen with an incredible look on his face. Not only that, while speaking, he also pushed the joystick to make the character run.

When Han Yixiao heard this, he first glared at him, then turned his head to look at the screen.

It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but once he saw it, he was almost pissed to death. His already raised brows even higher, and he said to Wu Xi, "Isn't this the same as the promotional video?! What the hell are you yelling about?"

Wu Xi almost choked to death when he heard these words.

My goodness, this is my dear uncle!

I was making a fuss because the actual gameplay was exactly the same as advertised!

How can two pictures be the same?

Is this still a domestic game?

Domestic games with realistic graphics have this kind of picture quality?
Thinking of this, Wu Xi didn't plan to talk about this with Han Yixiao anymore, as it would be like talking to a cow.

He looked at Xu Xiyu in surprise and said, "Boss Xu, can it really be released this year? What's the price?"

"How much do you think is a reasonable price?"

"Well... I won't give you any suggestions." Wu Xi originally wanted to name a price, but he swallowed the words back.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyu smiled and said, "The price has not been determined yet. As for whether it can be released this year, it should be possible if nothing unexpected happens.

In fact, they were planning to release it last year, but I told them not to worry and not to have financial pressure, because I could afford it and that slow work produces fine results. "

This is the truth. They said last year that they wanted to promote the sale. Originally, Xu Xiyu respected their opinions, but Lu Jiu found Xu Xiyu privately and told him the actual situation.

Only then did Xu Xiyu suppress the pressure and asked them to polish it a little more and not to feel pressured. After so many years and so much money had been spent, this little bit was not a big deal.

"Yes, yes, yes, slow work produces fine work, don't rush it..." Wu Xi nodded, his face already showing excitement.

As someone who has been playing games since childhood, I am very interested in a domestic 3A game.

Excited, he began to concentrate on operating the character, trying various skills. After trying, he naturally entered the boss battle.

This battle lasted for 20 minutes.

Seeing this, Han Yixiao, who was standing next to him, turned so dark that his face was unbearable to look at.

Good on you bastard!

I brought you here, and you're really sitting here and playing games wholeheartedly?!
Why don’t you talk to Xu Xiyu? Express your feelings to him. If that doesn’t work, then you can talk to this chubby-faced assistant!

What's so fun about this monkey?

Also, is this the only monster in this game?

Why do you always have to argue with this weirdo?

Since you plan to try the game and give your feedback, you should kill this monster quickly and then switch to the next one!

Another forty minutes later...

In a black car, Han Yixiao, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at Wu Xi, who was in a daze in the passenger seat, and couldn't help but shout, "Wu Xi."

"Wu Xi?!"

After being called twice, Wu Xi suddenly came to his senses, turned around and headed to the back row, saying with a smile, "Uncle."

"What are you thinking about?"

"No, nothing..." Wu Xi hurriedly shook his head.

"You are really something. You can just play for ten minutes, but you sit there for forty or fifty minutes. Are you sick?!" Without waiting for Wu Xi to reply, he continued, "I won't say anything about you for sitting there for so long. Aren't you known as a senior player? How come you couldn't even defeat a single monster after playing for so long today? You really embarrass me in every way!"

"..." After these words came out, Wu Xi couldn't help but look embarrassed. Yes, he loved playing games since he was a child.

But there is no necessary connection between "liking to play" and "playing well", otherwise there would not be the adjective "a bad player with a strong addiction to playing".

Thinking of this, Wu Xi changed the subject somewhat awkwardly and said, "Uncle, to be honest, I think Xu Xiyu's company may create new history!"

"You mean the game?"

"Yes, it's that game." Wu Xi nodded.

After that, he shook his head again and said, "What I just said is wrong. It's not that it is possible to create new history, it's that history has already been created.

He has broken the history of our country not having domestic 3A games. Do you know what I was thinking when I watched the trailer just now? "

"What are you thinking about?" Han Yixiao said unhappily. He really wanted to ask, do you know what I was thinking when I saw you playing games just now? I want to smash your head!
Wu Xi naturally didn't know what his uncle was thinking, and said excitedly, "I don't believe that the actual game screen is the same as the trailer.

Don’t say I don’t believe it. If any domestic player sees the trailer, they won’t believe it. But I never expected that, hey! My God, the actual game screen is exactly the same as the trailer! "

Han Yixiao was so angry at Wu Xi's expression that he laughed: "No, shouldn't the promotional video and the actual game footage be the same?"

"You shouldn't do that!" Wu Xi said as a matter of course.

“???” A question mark popped up in Han Yixiao’s head.

“How can I explain this to you? I thought the trailer was a specially crafted CG, but it turned out to be a real game screen! In short, it’s amazing!!

Really, uncle, I never thought that one day I would be able to play a domestic 3A game! I thought I would never be able to play it..."

Before he could finish his words, Han Yixiao pointed at him and interrupted, "Shut up! I beg you, don't say such things outside again.

What do you mean by never being able to play it? What? In your eyes, our country’s game production technology will never catch up with foreign countries? There is a gap and never catching up are two different concepts! "

"Oh, uncle, you misunderstood. This is not a question of skill or not, but a question of investment and return. The gaming market is now dominated by mobile games.

In other words, even if the technology exists, there may not be any manufacturer willing to make such a stand-alone game. If no one makes it, won’t we never be able to play it?

Today was really unexpected. I think all game players would never have thought that Mr. Xu would be willing to spend 5 million yuan and spend six or seven years to make such a stand-alone game. "

After hearing this, Han Yixiao thought for a while and grasped the key point: "Why do you mean that Xu Xiyu's game is so beautiful, but it may not make as much money as mobile games?"

"It's not just possible, it's definitely not as profitable as those popular mobile games on the market. For this game, the best outcome is to break even." Wu Xi said, revealing a trace of regret on his face.

"So after all your praises, this game could still lose money?"

"There is a high probability of making a loss, and a big loss. Our domestic stand-alone game market is too small. If we want to make money, we have to look abroad, but there is no precedent for domestic stand-alone games to be successful abroad.

However, there is some good news. I have noticed that the foreign games that are going to be released this year are not doing well. With Mr. Xu’s fame overseas, he may be able to help boost sales.”

At this point, Wu Xi sighed and murmured, "I don't know if I can sell one million copies at the original price."

“How much is a million copies?”

“Even if the average price in China and overseas is 300 yuan per copy, it’s only 3 million yuan. After deducting the channel share, taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, there is not much left.

How can we recover the 5 million cost? Selling 200-300 million copies is probably enough. It's difficult, too difficult. It's a miracle if we can sell million copies. If we wait for discounts and promotions... million? "The more Wu Xi talked, the more he felt that he would lose a lot.

Han Yixiao heard this and asked in confusion: "Does Xu Xiyu not understand the game market? Has he been fooled?"

"Not really. When investing, there is a team doing research. Even if they are fooled at first, they will eventually come to their senses, right?"

"So, he is confident that he can make back his investment?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe they don't expect to make a profit from selling games, but they see the added value of the games and the influence they can bring. Oh, yes, there is another possibility..."

"what?"

"That's because Mr. Xu is an idealist. He is rich and willful, and wants to make a domestic 3A game to test it out." Wu Xi laughed.

As soon as these words came out, Han Yixiao immediately cursed: "When will you behave yourself? Xu Xiyu is the same age as you, look at what he has achieved now?"

"Uncle, so what the hell are you doing at such an old age?!!!" Wu Xi said, and then screamed again.

Because he saw a car at a very fast speed, driving in the opposite direction and crashing into the side of a normal truck. The force was so great that the car rolled over several times on the spot before it came to a stop.

There was a person in the car who seemed to be not wearing a seat belt and was thrown out directly.

Just in time, it landed in front of Wu Xi's car.

"Damn, they're launching a rocket?!" Han Yixiao was also shocked.

As for his driver, he had already gotten out of the car to check the situation.

Soon, Wu Xi followed.

It would have been fine if he didn't go down, but as soon as he saw the man lying on the front of the car with his face covered in blood, his face suddenly changed.

He quickly ran back to the car window, pointing with a horrified expression, "Uncle...Uncle, Ling Ling...Ling Yi!"
