Of course it was too late to change careers, but Zhou Ruining was just thinking about it.
Just kidding, it's impossible for her to give up her current job.
Although the five million bonus is very attractive, not everyone has a chance to get it.
In comparison, being Mr. Hao's assistant is much easier than playing games. Every day I just make coffee, sort out documents, answer phone calls, and get a lot of bonuses. The most important thing is that the value of being able to study next to such a big boss cannot be measured by money. I don’t know how many people envy her job.
As for playing games…
She is still self-aware of her talents.
At least as far as Yunmeng Group's games were concerned, the only games she could play were Love and Paper Man, and she started to get confused with games that were slightly more complicated.
"Isn't five million too much?" Li Zongzheng came to his senses, looked at Hao Yun hesitantly and said, "That's five million. How many more games can we sell before we can sell it back?"
"Why do you think the money from selling games must be used to subsidize competitions?" Hao Yun looked at him strangely and said, "This way of thinking is very undesirable. Why can't we make money through competitions?"
Make money through competitions
Li Zongzheng didn't know how to complain.
After all, Warcraft is just a game that has been online for less than a month. How many loyal players will pay for this game's events? Collecting tickets is definitely not going to work. You may be able to get something through sponsorship, but the Matthew Effect in the advertising industry determines that unless this kind of event can attract hundreds of millions of eyeballs like the People's League Basketball League, it will be difficult. Find some powerful sponsors.
As for the broadcasting rights, that's even more ridiculous.
If it is an online game, the final game will most likely be broadcast on the official website. Whether it is online media or traditional media, no one will be interested in the broadcast rights of a game event, and they may have to spend money to get the other party to agree to broadcast it on their own website.
"...I think you may be too optimistic about our influence," Li Zongzheng hesitated again and again, and finally decided to express his concerns. "Even if the sales of Warcraft have been growing recently, it does not mean that those players They will be interested in our competition. Take the Seven Kingdoms of Da Mi Entertainment as an example. Their sales have approached the five million mark, but they have not thought about hosting any competitions... "
"There is a problem with this way of thinking," Hao Yun shook his head and said slowly, "Why should we use Da Mi Entertainment as a reference? Do we need to compare with them? We only do ourselves, and we are the benchmark for the industry. I I can make a bet with you. After our e-sports project is completed, Da Mi Entertainment will definitely follow our example and make one, and then the prize money will be twice or even more than ours."
Then…
They will lose miserably.
Whether it is a game or a sport, the prize money in a game can indeed attract outstanding teams or individuals to participate, but the audience will not pay because of the size of the prize money.
If spending money can create a phenomenal event, then the basketball industry will not be dominated by the People's League.
Will TV stations that spend hundreds of millions buying broadcast rights lack money for bonuses? If spending money could really solve the problem, they would have spent money on hosting competitions themselves, just like their own variety shows and TV series...
"Then what are you going to do then?" Li Zongzheng followed his words and asked, not thinking of that far away place.
"It's not very good, we don't have to do anything." Hao Yun replied calmly, "The bonuses are just to raise the threshold of competitors, not to build our moat. Seven Kingdoms is not a competitive game, even if it achieves certain numerical results The degree of balance and its entertainment also determine that it can only appear on the player's computer, not on the field."
"But our Warcraft is different. Even cloud players who have never played a game can still feel the excitement of competition from the game. Maybe it will be eliminated by new games inspired by it in the future, but this kind of It definitely doesn’t happen in the moment.”
"So I said, there is no need for us to regard them as our competitors. We were not on the same path from the beginning."
After listening to Hao Yun's words, Li Zongzheng's face was filled with shock.
He has always been self-aware of his self-confidence and idealist identity.
However, after meeting Mr. Hao, he felt that his evaluation of himself was somewhat modest.
What is confidence
What is an idealist
I am afraid that no one in this company is more confident than Mr. Hao, and dares to think...
Just like he has never taken "we are a company that serves dreams" seriously, Li Zongzheng just wants to be a game designer who can be remembered by millions of players and build Yunmeng Games into a great game company. .
However, Mr. Hao seems to have been aiming to be number one in the industry from the very beginning...
"I understand." In awe, Li Zongzheng took a deep breath and nodded seriously, "I will try my best to run this competition well."
Hao Yun nodded, with a happy smile on his face.
"Well, I'll leave it to you then."
"Also, there is one more thing."
"Please speak!" Li Zongzheng said seriously.
After a pause, Hao Yun continued.
"The new version of Warcraft will be launched after the Battle Cry Cup ends, and we will add some more interesting things to the game by then."
"Have you even thought about the new version?"
Looking at Li Zongzheng who looked surprised, Hao Yun smiled and nodded.
"Of course, I thought about it from the beginning."
It was okay to think about it from the beginning...
If that's the case, why not send it out in the first place
Li Zongzheng was a little confused, but after thinking about it he finally didn't ask.
Mr. Hao rarely explains to them the reasons for doing something, but if an explanation is necessary, he will naturally explain it.
"By the way, you just told me that someone on the Internet recently spread rumors that the prize money for our competition is one million?" Hao Yun suddenly remembered what happened before and said.
Li Zongzheng sighed and said.
"That's what happened. I'm having a headache. How should I respond?"
"Now you know how to respond." Hao Yun said with a smile.
"Of course I know now."
Li Zongzheng nodded and was about to leave the office.
However, at this moment, Zhou Ruining, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute..." Noticing that the two of them were looking at her, her voice subconsciously weakened by a few decibels, "Can I make a suggestion?"
Giving her an encouraging look, Hao Yun said.
"No problem, just tell me."
"I think it's too laborious to reply one by one. We might as well hold a press conference directly, and Mr. Hao will tell the players personally about this. I think it will be more efficient than emails and phone calls, and it can also be used for publicity. One wave.”
Press conference
yes.
How could I have forgotten such a convenient option!
After looking at each other with Li Zongzheng, it was clear that the other party also thought this idea was a wonderful one, so Hao Yun looked at Zhou Ruining and nodded approvingly.
"That's a good idea!"
"You can contact Du Ziteng for me and Sun Xiaoteng from Yunmeng Media. They are relatively experienced in preparing press conferences."
"Let's set the date in three days. Anyway, the sooner the better."
"I'll leave this to you!"
