Chapter 71 Dog bites dog

"Hello, Lao Zhu, it's me, Lao Wang."

"Boss Wang, it's you again."

Donghua City, Jianfeng Game Company.

Wang Feng is forming alliances and conducting large-scale campaigns.

The last time this happened was when we were fighting over edamame.

The person he called was also a big shot in the entertainment industry in the past. Now he has also entered the film and game circle. His main method is actually the same as when he was in the entertainment industry, which is black public relations.

The gaming company run by Mr. Zhu across the street is not doing very well. His finished products are among the worst in the film and gaming circles. He has no talent for making movies, but he does a good job in operations.

He is still working on the business of modifying film and game IPs for release in theaters, and he is very good at publicity.

In addition, he is into business and has some strong connections and interests involved, so I can't say more.

In the past, these film and game companies did use some shady tricks on each other, but Da Ri Ge is no pushover either.

Apart from the last wave in "The Never-Setting Sun" where he was targeted and shot down, Brother Da Ri basically did not suffer any major losses.

However, this time, "The Legend of the Heroes" itself is very dark no matter how you look at it, and it is dark without any concealment.

All they have to do is retell the original story exactly, add a little exaggeration and black history, and they will achieve their goal.

The louder the condemnation, the better.

Wang Feng has a wide network of contacts in this circle and maintains close relationships with many of his peers. By negotiating with various allied forces, he quickly won over many people and was about to create a storm.

Boss Zhu was the last one among the people he had contacted. The others had already reached an agreement and exchanged some interests. He could also represent some of them in expressing their views on this matter.

"Oh? Mr. Wang, I heard that your company is not only developing film games, but also mobile games have been very popular recently and will be released soon. It's time to be busy now. Why did you come to me now? What's going on?"

Boss Zhu on the opposite side actually vaguely knew what the other side wanted to do, but he pretended to be ignorant for the time being.

After all, a mid-sized company like Sharp Peak Games would feel anxious when facing the aggressive Xiong Kuohai who wants to dominate the film and game industry.

For a small company like his, it doesn't matter to him whether there is a dominant company at the top or not. It's not his turn anyway, so there's no need to rush.

"Alas, I've invested tens of millions in my mobile game, and it's everyone's business. It's just a small venture, not worth mentioning. I just hope I don't lose everything."

"You're too modest. Our film and gaming industry is no match for mobile games. After this, maybe your Jianfeng can also successfully transform like Maodou."

"It's not that simple."

"I heard that the producer of that game is your son?"

"Yes, yes, it's my son..."

"Incredible, incredible! I think he's the next Gu Meng. Back then, you and Gu Ritian were entangled and it was hard to tell who was better. I didn't expect that in your next generation, both of you would be better than your father."

"No, no, he's far inferior to Gu Meng. I don't envy Gu Ritian's achievements in the film and gaming industry. I really envy him for having such a good son. If my son could have half... no, a quarter of his son's talent, I would be thankful."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two of them talked about some irrelevant things.

Due to the social customs, Chinese people never get straight to the point when discussing business.

Just like when Japanese people are in love, the one who gets straight to the point and confesses first is inferior, this is also recorded in "Kaguya-sama: Love is War".

However, after some pleasantries, Wang Feng finally got to the point. After all, he was the one who was more anxious this time:
"By the way, Boss Zhu, are you familiar with 'The Legend of Heroes', which has been extremely popular recently and has already overshadowed other film and game titles?"

"I heard about it."

Boss Zhu smiled disdainfully:
"Isn't that Mr. Xiong's masterpiece? I heard it sold very well overseas."

"A while ago during New Year's Eve, they even defeated the Chinese masterpiece "Ancient and Modern Heroes", which was a masterpiece of gaming metaphysics, and made headlines. It was really amazing. The film and gaming industry is also getting better. They dared to win."

Boss Zhu's words were meant to be praise, but the sarcasm and disdain were evident in them.

What is the real situation? Who should the award be given to? Those who understand will understand.

Or maybe Gu Meng is too young.

He has no idea about the ways of the world and was suppressed by Xiong Kuohai, that old slut. Xiong Kuohai is really daring.

As people who work in the film and game industry, don’t they know the chain of contempt in this industry?

Official tribute films and games don't count, as that kind of subject matter has a huge advantage. No matter how well you make a normal film or game, it's hard to consider it a game in itself, so how can it possibly beat a blockbuster in an award like the best of the year?

"The Legend of Heroes" did not create any new movie game gameplay.

On the contrary, he even copied the plot from the mini-game "Qun Xia Zhuan: Zero".

It's outrageous that it was shortlisted given the huge controversy it has.

It is estimated that the next season of Cool Game Star may change its name and start over.

Anyway, it’s only the second session. Although it’s very popular, it can play a role, so I won’t feel too bad about throwing it away after use.

But how did he do it? Did Xiong Kuohai sell py?

Boss Zhu was very disdainful in his heart, but he just smiled.

"Boss Wang, are you here to see me this time because of 'The Legend of the Heroes'?"

Wang Feng continued: "To be honest, it was indeed for this reason."

They had already spent enough time chatting about foreplay, and they were both busy people, so there was no need to delay getting to the point.

The two are very familiar with each other, and Wang Feng has also consulted Boss Zhu for several of his recent film and game projects.

Nowadays, not only movie games, but many normal games also rely on publicity and promotion.

Just like the two mythical beasts Palu in Gu Meng’s company, plus the newcomer Zhongzhi, they all suffered from poor publicity and promotion.

Gu Meng asked Zhongzhi to play his game, and it was really fun. It was a rather strange pigeon-style music game.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like a weakened version of the Joker.

This kind of game may not be fun to watch from the sidelines, and there is a certain threshold to enter. You can only feel its fun once you really get started.

Moreover, Zhongzhi made the game alone, and the art materials are hard to describe. The little boy's strengths lie elsewhere.

As a result, the game did not attract much traffic from the beginning, and to date, the number of game purchases is only 103.

Huan Shou and Lupa's games are simply drowned in the sea of ​​turn-based martial arts games.

There were only a few games of this kind in the past life. If they were of good quality, they would become popular easily and martial arts game enthusiasts could play them. But in this life, there are too many of them.

This year, just one "Greatest Hero" competition attracted more than a hundred martial arts games of the same type.

They are complete newbies, and the quality of the game they made with only two of them cannot be said to be particularly good, but it is considered above average. It is already good enough that they can sell tens of thousands of copies.

Today is the golden age of gaming, and there are countless more games than in previous generations.

A lot of games have no publicity and distribution channels, and they can easily fail if you are not careful.

Apart from those blockbusters launched by large companies, which have visibly high quality or already have a large number of fans, who dares to say that they can become popular without publicity and promotion?

The success of independent games in parallel worlds depends largely on luck, or it can be said that luck is a kind of strength.

In terms of luck, the strongest person in the world should be——

"Ah!"

"Do I have a cold, or is this world also capable of Yang?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Meng, who was writing a new game plan, called Secretary Wu:

"Make me a cup of isatis root, add milk and a spoonful of sugar...I want hand-ground isatis root!"

……

 Thank you for the reward from Qingsongbulaowanguchangchun!
