Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

An Yi felt that there was no need to make a fuss for the time being. After all, the more you responded to this kind of tabloid, the more excited it would become, just like a dog-skin plaster.

Chapter 124: Want to be the first to come forward?

Two more days passed.

That report about minors stealing money to play in-game games was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any waves.

Seeing this, An Yi's originally tense nerves relaxed a little.

In the past two days, everything is thriving inside Mihoyo's company. Employees are working on the production of the new version of Star Iron step by step, and the finishing work of the new shooting online game "Spread" has been completed.

The funds flowing back from Star Iron are also sufficient to cover all of Mihoyo's expenses.

Previously, the countdown on the easter egg page that players had been longing for has ended, and the interface has quietly turned into a promotional poster for "Spread".

An Yi temporarily put the promotional video of the game on hold as he wanted to wait for a better opportunity to release it.

There is nothing to worry about internally, but externally the situation is not so good.

Although An Yi said that the situation outside was bad and that more attention should be paid, the actual reason was that the Star Iron was too good.

The sudden emergence of Star Iron directly broke through the existing online gaming landscape.

After experiencing Star Iron, a large number of online game players were impressed by its excellent gameplay, quality far superior to similar games, and conscientious operation.

The monthly card costs less than 100 yuan a month, and the gaming experience of Star Tie is many times better than before. Players can make a choice with their toes.

After all, since we can eat meat, who would want to eat bran?

In this way, a large number of players from other online games left and turned to Xingtie.

Once ordinary players leave, the game ecosystem is destroyed, and the paying players will become unhappy with the game and naturally leave as well.

The large-scale exodus of players who spend a lot of money on a game is already the death sentence for the game.

Large-scale games like Penguin's "Ask the Heavens" have a large player base. Although it is painful for them to see some heavy-paying players quit, it is not a major blow to them and they can still maintain operations.

But for some small online games that already have a small player base and are relying on the leftovers of the two giants, Penguin and NetEase, the departure of their top players would be a death sentence for them.

Anyi said he could do nothing to help.

He has only two things to say to these game manufacturers: either keep up with the changes of the times and make some good games, or simply leave this land and make room for more innovative seedlings to emerge.

Game manufacturers are all working together to mess things up, feeding shit to players and making a lot of money.

Why don’t they allow high-quality games to disrupt their money-making rhythm?

There is no such thing in the world.

No one dared to be the first to take action before. An Yi could understand that, but he could not accept it.

This era was ended by his own hands.

Of course, those who have lost their source of income would not think so.

There was only one thought in their heads: How great it would be if Star Iron didn't appear. Could they...

……

……

"Ah? Brother Wang, one hundred thousand? But I only borrowed fifty thousand..."

"No, no, no... Don't go to my house, don't go to my house. Please give me a few days. I will go and raise the money. I have a way. I can pay you back..."

A man hung up the phone, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let out a long sigh.

His name is Gao Ye, an editor at Unsan News.

With his qualifications, he shouldn't have come to a third-rate news agency like Yunshan News.

But he had made a mistake before and played a few cards that he shouldn't have played, so he was fired from his original unit and messed up his originally good home.

And yesterday, Gao Ye, who couldn't resist the urge, played two more hands of cards and lost all his money. He had no money left, so he borrowed from people in the place in despair.

After borrowing the money, he went back to the table.

Of course, in the end, Gao Ye failed to turn the tables, lost all the 50,000 yuan he borrowed, and was then kicked out of the place.

Thinking of the phone call just now, Gao Ye's heart was in turmoil.

That was a debt collector. I borrowed money at high interest rates, and 50,000 yuan turned into 100,000 yuan overnight...

"Where can I get so much money..."

Yunshan News, where Gao Ye works now, originally had a small market share, and with the impact of Internet news websites in recent years, it can be described as adding insult to injury.

In the past one or two years, news agencies have tried every possible means to survive, including all kinds of celebrity gossip, major and minor events happening in various places, and melodramatic stories about neighbors, and have honed their skills in quoting out of context.

Relying on their shocking department-like operation, they gradually revived the Yunshan News Agency, which had one foot in the coffin, because some of the public who love to follow the trend really like this.

However, this was only a temporary solution as the overly mixed news content led to an extremely confusing positioning of their entire news agency, and the editorial management system became even more chaotic.

And Gao Ye came in under this imperfect management system.

Otherwise, given his previous bad record, no news agency would dare to hire him.

However, there is no correlation between a person's character and his ability. Although Takano is a compulsive gambler, he still has the ability to be an editor.

Find some hot events every day, modify them slightly, and give them an eye-catching title, and you can get a performance article.

two days ago.

Gao Ye, like before, went to various major websites to dig up materials.

He found that there had been quite a stir in the gaming industry recently. A gaming company called Mihoyo had emerged as a dark horse and brought out the game "Star Railroad".

The title of a video on Bilibili almost made his eyes explode.

["Ask the Heavens" krypton gold giant "Youdu" switched to "Star Railway" with undiminished generosity, spending 80,000 in one day]

"This is a local tyrant."

Gao Ye clicked on the video, played it at double the speed, and after watching the entire video, he couldn't help but sigh: "This game is so popular now!"

After sighing, Gao Ye immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to ride on the popularity.

He felt that the news about Star Iron would definitely attract the players' attention.

However... Takano felt that it was not enough to just copy the news as it was.

It needs to be reformed.

Therefore, in his writing, the protagonist of this video became a minor, and the money used for in-game purchases was also stolen, just to make him look eye-catching in any way possible.

More than a thousand words were completed very quickly.

The editor-in-chief in charge of review also glanced at the content and found no major problems, so it was published on the Yunshan News that day.

As Takano expected, this article did cause some response, and even the sales of Yunshan News' paper magazine increased.

There was even someone who claimed to be from Penguin's public relations department who contacted Takano and asked him if he wanted to cooperate.

Originally, Takano was tempted, but when he heard the person on the other end of the phone asking him about the authenticity of the article and wanted him to continue attacking Mihoyo based on this article, Takano decisively refused.

He had a good idea whether the article was fabricated or not.

When the article was published and he saw the response, Gao Ye felt a little regretful, worried that Mihoyo would sue him. However, due to the small size of Yunshang News itself, the article did not cause much waves among the public.

In addition, the editor-in-chief gave Takano a bonus because of this popular article.

It was not until this time that Gao Ye felt relieved and the fear in his heart disappeared.

Gao Ye, who had some spare money in his pocket, couldn't resist the urge to play two more rounds, and then the previous incident happened. He lost everything and even owed a large sum of money.

Just now, the debt collection call came again...

Chapter 125: Have you ever seen the black hand?

"Where can I get the money..."

Suddenly, Takano, who was at his wit's end, got excited and remembered the cooperation that Penguin proposed that day.

Or should we take the fake thing as real... and hype it up again?

Otherwise he really doesn't know where to get the money.

The more Gao Ye thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, because after he published that article two days ago, Mihoyo ignored him, so maybe it would work this time too.

If anything happens, the penguins will probably come out to protect him.

After swallowing, Gao Ye dialed the number.

"Hello? Yeah, I changed my mind. How do you guys say we can work together?"

……

……

Anyi's home.

After dinner.

“It’s so quiet.”

An Yi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly said this out of the blue.

"Do you think so too?"

Heita was lying nearby and responded without thinking.

The two were certainly not playing charades, but were discussing comments about Mihoyo on the Internet.

Now Mihoyo's StarTie has taken away the jobs of some manufacturers of inferior games.

It's unscientific that public opinion is still so quiet.

Where have the dark hands of the Internet gone?

If they don't take action and I'm still on guard, I'll look stupid, okay?

Heita sat up, tucked his slightly messy hair behind his ears, and said softly: "Well, according to the witch-hunt effect, this is indeed unscientific."

"What? What effect?" An Yi was confused.

"This is a word from your world. I thought you knew it. Spend less time on the Internet and read more books." Heita rolled his eyes at An Yi and continued, "This word originated from the infamous 'witch hunt' movement in medieval Europe."

An Yi looked at Heita in surprise: "When did you learn this?... Please teach me, Mr. Heita..."

As he said this, An Yi even felt a little ashamed. They both went online, but Heita could learn a lot, while he played games with his employees.

"The origin of the witch hunt is too long to explain. You can look it up yourself when you have time." Heita twisted his body to avoid An Yi's moving hands and hummed, "Let me briefly talk about the witch hunt effect. People have an indescribable hostility and fear towards unknown things. When faced with these unknown things, they will do some extreme behaviors for instinctive defense."

"Given the quality of the star iron, it should have shown a power that made them feel terrified. As for why it is so calm now..."

Heita stopped talking here.

Because there is no need to say more.

"Yeah." After listening to it, An Yi nodded in understanding.

Star Rail is indeed such a game, a game whose mere existence makes some people feel uneasy, making them feel that "if left alone, their status will be over."

There is always calm before the storm. Now that public opinion is so stable, it means that a big one is coming.

But soon, An Yi relaxed his mind. Although Mihoyo was established not long ago, it had a very solid foundation under his management, so he was not afraid of these things.

A joint encirclement by manufacturers is nothing. I'm going to beat ten of them!

"Forget it, who cares? If enemies come, we will fight them; if water comes, we will block it with earth. A big tree attracts the wind. Internet black hands are a specialty here, so we have to try them."

After hearing what An Yi said, Heita smiled, his beautiful eyes narrowed into a slit, he stretched out a leg and put it on An Yi, and asked: "Do you want me to take action? As long as I am on top from now on..."

"Need not!"

……

……

It was ten o'clock that evening.

The previous report about a minor stealing money to buy StarTitans, which had already gone silent, has quietly reappeared on several news websites with huge traffic.

Moreover, not only was the article reposted, but there were even follow-up developments on the incident.
