Chapter 554 Game Release
?
"This is Zuo Yuan's personal letter. I want him to give it to you in person, but he is always embarrassed, saying that when he sees you, he must get your approval."
Yan Fei handed Zuo Yuan's handwritten letter to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin took the envelope and didn't open it, but put it by the table.
He helped Zuo Yuan not for Zuo Yuan's repayment, let alone for this letter.
Although it made people feel a little impolite for not coming to thank him in person, Zuo Yuan's heart was not incomprehensible.
He has arrogance, it's true, but those arrogance is more for himself, but facing Shen Xin, he should still have a sense of inferiority in his heart.
In particular, he just rejected the job as Shen Xin's assistant, so when facing Shen Xin, he should be very embarrassed.
In this situation, Zuo Yuan felt uncomfortable, and Shen Xin was also awkward. It would be more natural to meet by chance at the annual meeting or other places.
"How is he now?" Shen Xin asked.
"In contact with Duoman.com, it will take about two chapters to end "My World", and the next work will not be affected by the 'priority signing rights'. Therefore, I am thinking about the ending of "My World" recently. Duoman.com They probably wanted him to leave, and they also wanted to quickly turn the page, so they agreed to Zuo Yuan's proposal without hesitation."
"It's good for both sides to take a step back." Shen Xin nodded.
"Now, he is doing odd jobs on the construction site. It is estimated that he will finish this week and earn some food expenses. Whether he will be an assistant to other teachers or go to work elsewhere depends on the specific situation."
"Well, when creating a name, pay attention. His basic skills are relatively solid. You have to choose the type that suits him. Also, don't push too hard. He has a strong self-esteem." Shen Xin reminded.
"I know. By the way, the game "Soul of Chess" seems to be released, right?"
"Well, it was released yesterday, and I posted an advertisement on Weibo... By the way, my Weibo is about to become a marketing account, and I recommend products almost every time." Shen Xin yawned, "11 It’s going to be released next month, so I don’t know how it can be sold...By the way, the game copyright of "Steel Refining" has not been sold yet?"
Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong, who was counting the manuscripts, with a puzzled expression.
"Don't ask me about this, you just don't know." Wang Wenhong sorted out the manuscripts, put them in a bag,
"From the information disclosed by Mr. Shang, it is speculated that the magazine has almost two choices. Of course, the first recommendation is a powerful and large production company, and the quality of the game will be guaranteed. If there is no such company, it must have a very high price."
"Zhenyu Technology can't do it?" Shen Xin asked doubtfully.
"Maybe they are waiting and watching? "Soul of Chess" will be released soon, and they may use the sales of "Soul of Chess" to infer whether to make a game of "Steel Refining"."
"The two comics are not of the same type, and the games they make are also completely different. How do you infer this?" Shen Xin was depressed.
"200,000 copies a month, Zhenyu Technology should agree."
"..."
A game of Go can only sell 200,000 copies a month.
Shen Xin's head is a bit big, the key point is that this is a computer game, and the price of a disc is not cheap.
Ji Yinxuan is now in charge of "God's Fall". According to her, because the company has high expectations for this game, it must do its best in many aspects. Therefore, she is also under great pressure and the progress is not too fast. It is estimated that every two or three years, it is impossible to get it right.
Without Ji Yinxuan's recommendation, Zhenyu Technology is not too enthusiastic about his works, and they hope to develop their own original games.
Therefore, the magazine can only wait and see other game companies.
After chatting for a while, Yan Fei also went to Lu Ning's studio to look at the completed manuscript.
After all, it is a new series, so it must be a good start.
After the chaotic battle with "Age of the Gods" in early July, the results of "Smelting Steel" have also stabilized.
Next, it will be Orochi and Yishu Culture's promotion of the "Steel Refining" animation.
The domestic animation copyright of "Steel Refining" was acquired by Hongchuan Satellite TV. This time it was not broadcast on the animation channel, but during Hongchuan Satellite TV's prime time, at six o'clock on Saturday night.
At the same time, the first PV of "Steel Refining" was also shown on TV, and "Steel Refining" and "The Journey of Two" appeared in one PV.
Because it was created by the same production team, the quality and style are in the same line. At first glance, Shen Xin thought it was the story of "Smelting Steel" itself, but after watching it carefully, I found that one-third of it was original content.
At the same time, the documentary interview with "Steel Refining" has finally been finalized, and it will be screened at Hongchuan Animation on the last Thursday of July.
Of course, these were all within Shen Xin's expectations. Following this momentum, "Steel Refined" is almost certain to win this year's "Comic Festival Best Novel". After all, the gap between the following comics and him is too great.
At the same time, the sales volume of "Soul of Chess" in the first week is also freshly released. In the first 7 days of the week, the domestic sales volume reached 100,000 copies, ranking first on the major domestic lists.
When Shen Xin heard the news, she was also surprised.
This is a competitive Go game, how could it have such a high sales volume?
Afterwards, he took time to play for more than an hour before he understood the general idea.
It is said that ACG does not separate families, but strictly speaking, there are still differences.
Comics emphasize interesting stories, while games emphasize playability.
It has nothing to do with the quality of the picture. Just like before Shen Xin traveled, various 3A (high-quality, high-cost, high-volume) masterpieces emerged one after another, but there are still some good-quality pixel games, which are quite popular among players. The reason is that the game pursues playability.
This game has several difficulty modes to choose from, and the easiest mode is almost avg, so it doesn't matter even if you don't know Go, because you can pass the game with just a click of the mouse. In addition, the production team has added a large number of branch tasks, making the storyline much fuller.
In addition to the simplest mode, some chess games can be operated or not, and some chess games, such as the battle between Zuo Wei and Shi Xingyang, and the battle between Xiaoguang and Gao Yongxia, can only be played after certain requirements are met.
In order to take care of Go lovers, the production team even made a special Go game mode. Without entering the plot in advance, you can play 1v1 games with AI or other players, and there will be rankings after networking.
To put it simply, this game has found a breakthrough through the understanding of the plot.
Having said that, even though the production team of the "Soul of Chess" game changed the producer midway, Ji Yinxuan had already paved all the roads before leaving, and the employees behind only need to follow the steps.
I have to say that Ji Yinxuan is indeed a genius in game production.
Shen Xin thought silently.
