You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 102: The Pill of the Industry (Please Order)
Next Monday.

Today is the 15th, the monthly account settlement day, and new funds have arrived at Youyi Company.

During last month's billing period, the total sales of "Cat Girl Paradise Adventure" soared to 25, bringing in 35 million yuan in additional revenue.

The monthly active users of "My Leisurely Island Owner Life" exceeded 130 million, with a maximum of 19 people online at the same time.

Excluding the share of the Youyi platform, the game revenue was 1560 million.

Recently, for some reason, everyone in the island owner group has become more efficient at work, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Therefore, the speed of updating small patches for the island owner's life is quite fast, which has also been well received by many players.

Last month, the company's expenses for its 30 employees, including salaries, rent, utilities, property management, business operations, shopping benefits, etc., totaled 520 million.

Therefore, adding the previous balance, the company now has a total of 2580 million left in its account.

The money in the company account is increasing.

Lu Yu looked at the more than 20 million and felt itchy in his heart.

However, various employee benefits have reached the bottleneck of the company's current capabilities. For example, things like team-building vacations or shopping benefits need to have a logical and reasonable reason, otherwise they will trigger the system's passive resistance warning.

Therefore, Lu Yu thought about spending this money on other means to continue to expand his leisure point income.

Then, users of Taoyuan Township are a very reasonable choice.

Lu Yu looked through the system interface and found that he had earned a total of 565 leisure points from Taoyuan Township users so far in this settlement cycle.
This is due to the thoughtful updates of its two games, which have had a critical and resonant effect on many players.

The points provided by users are much less than those provided by employees. After all, the rebate ratio on the user side is only one ten-thousandth.

But fortunately, the scale of potential users is large enough, and if we gather them together to form a tower, it will also be a considerable income.

Therefore, for the rest of this cycle, Lu Yu plans to work on meeting the expectations of various users.

However, there is a prerequisite, which is that employees should not be fatigued or involuntarily complacent. Otherwise, it will be like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

He was rubbing his eyebrows and thinking about what to do when Liu Mengyuan came to his workstation.

"Lu Yu, take a look at the official updates of the D-station of Dog Bitch Paradise."

"Bitch Paradise?"

Lu Yu was stunned. He hadn't paid attention to this game for a long time.

"By the way, is this game still alive?"

Liu Mengyuan smiled and said, "Of course, the game statistics are not available. There are less than 5000 people online at the same time, but the popularity of this game has skyrocketed today."

Lu Yu opened the latest video of D Station’s official account suspiciously.

A huge headline caught my eye: "Big Announcement: Dog Girl Paradise Adventure Comic Adaptation Launched!"

"Tenghui Interactive Entertainment proudly presents."

"The "Dog Girl Paradise Adventure" manga series has officially launched!"

"Professional comic book masters have devoted their time to creating a colorful world of adventure for you."

"From wasteland to paradise, from fog to light, this is a fantastical journey that unleashes wisdom and courage. Are you ready? Wander in the sea of ​​adventure with Gou Niu and start your own paradise legend!"

"We're about to depart, so stay tuned!"

Lu Yu looked at the screenshot of the comic page in the video,
This comic is not a dynamic strip, but a serious long serial.

There are quite a lot of comments in the video:
"Hahaha, the official has made some new moves. I'm so happy! Will there be a new bitch joining the comics? I'm so excited!"

"Tenghui Interactive Entertainment, I'll give you one more chance. Hurry up and serve it to me. I can't sit still any longer!"

"Hurry up! I've been checking this official account's updates every day since yesterday, just to be the first to know about the comics!"

"Although your game is lame, I still support your willingness to support domestic animation."

"I don't have any other requests, you bitches must be bitter!"

In the comment section below the video, the most highly praised comment is:

"Hurry up and delete your Earth Big Hero 6 from the comics, so we can still be friends!"

The official responded to this comment:

"Please rest assured, my friends. This comic adaptation is a faithful restoration of the original story, and it will definitely bring back the feelings you once had!"

Liu Mengyuan held the document in his hand and said:

"Recently, the game adjusted its operating strategy, removing many paid items from the paid item store and distributing them to players for free. This halted the decline in active users, and after the announcement of the comic book adaptation, its popularity rebounded."

Lu Yu nodded slightly. The game's operating data was poor, and Tenghui Interactive Entertainment had adjusted its strategic thinking, shifting from maintaining revenue to protecting its IP.

This is about tapping into the surplus value of the Goosebumps IP.

Even though the game is broken, the story still has some value.

After all, the story is indeed a good story, even though not every word was written by their family.

Lu Yu sneered.

However, he didn't care much about the news. Just publish the comics. It won't affect me at all.

It is a game that is about to fail, let alone the life of the island owner. Now the monthly revenue of Dog Girl Paradise is probably not even able to beat the single-player game Cat Girl Paradise.

Liu Mengyuan said:
"Actually, I came to you because Teng Hui's comic adaptation news caused a chain reaction. Look at the Cat Girl Paradise forum, there's a post that's already reached 100,000 views, and the popularity is still soaring rapidly."

Lu Yu clicked on the post.

Title: [Urgent] Petition for a Comic Version of Cat Girl Paradise! Please Save the Crude Game Graphics!
"I went to the forum next door today, and it was like Chinese New Year there.

There were several fans of the Dog Bitch Paradise who had lost to me in the previous confrontation and had gone invisible in shame, but now they jumped into my face again.

Because, their "Dog Girl Paradise" is getting a manga adaptation! Yes, a manga adaptation!

I didn't expect that even though the game was half-dead, Tenghui could still stab Taoyuan Township from this angle.

We all know that Cat Girl Paradise was a game released during the early stages of Taoyuan Township's development, so the production cost was low and the graphics looked very simple.

I'll stack some armor for myself first. I'm not saying it's not fun, but the graphics are really unplayable now.

Imagine if the comics were adapted, wouldn't the interactions between John and Illya be even more vivid? The story's quality would instantly explode!

The counterfeit copies next door are all being adapted into comics, but our original work is still standing still, with crude resolution textures. I really can't accept it! "

2rd floor reply:
"I wholeheartedly support the original poster. The people of Taoyuan Township should understand our petition, right? I don't have any other requests. The comics must try their best to restore the plot. I want to see the sexy white silk cat girl in the comics!"

3rd floor reply:
"The domestic animation industry is dead right now. I heard that Taoyuan Township made a lot of money there! Can you guys save the entire comics industry? We're completely looked down upon by the island nation!"

Now start to brush up like crazy:
"Please share this and let the boss of Taoyuan Township see it!"

"Cartoon! Caricature! Caricature!"

……

Seeing this extremely popular petition, Lu Yu smiled slightly.

He was worried about not having enough money to spend and couldn't find a way to earn points. This was like someone giving him a pillow just when he wanted to sleep.

comics?

Why bother making comics?

Since you want to pamper your users, just do it in one step and make the animation directly!
Taoyuanxiang provides whatever users want!
Moreover, it must be provided in a form that far exceeds users' expectations, so that it can have a stable and critical impact on users.

……

Afterwards, Lu Yu spent a day investigating the current state of the animation industry in this era.

After completing the investigation, he summed up two key words.

The first word is: "Industry Pill".

The domestic animation industry is facing unprecedented challenges. The overall situation is not optimistic and is filled with a decadent atmosphere.

First of all, in order to compete for good original scripts, companies are competing extremely fiercely, and the auction prices of scripts continue to hit new highs. In order to have profit margins, the costs of animation production are constantly compressed, and internal competition is serious.

Many animation studios that were unable to operate had to transform themselves, looking for ways to survive, and began to outsource work to game CG and advertising companies.

In addition, animation production talents are constantly leaving and flocking to the more profitable film and television industry. Some have even been poached by major game companies to make PV promotional videos for national war games.

This leads to the second keyword, which is a meme circulating among anime fans, called "tragically animated."

Due to the serious loss of talent, the creative capabilities of animation companies that originally had some foundation and accumulation have plummeted.

In order to bid for good scripts and IPs, animation companies invested heavily, but in the end the scripts they filmed were simply not able to be restored.

Not only are the graphics crudely made, but the story's rhythm is chaotic and the characters deviate from the original.

This caused a barrage of criticism from fans of the original story and made the animation company's situation even worse.
