Because Simon was here, Shirley, who wanted to sleep and woke up naturally, forced herself to get up early with the man.
For this reason, I am a little envious of my daughter who can sleep in late.
Simon checked his email before breakfast and saw Nancy's email. He didn't pay much attention to it. He replied as usual and then turned to other things. Among the newspaper news compiled by Girl A that Simon needs to pay attention to, the most eye-catching one is the news that the sales volume of "Counter-Strike OL" exceeded 100,000 within 15 hours of its release.
Although the relevant press release definitely contains elements of Daenerys’ marketing and PR, the news is indeed worthy of being on the hot topics of current affairs.
Sales exceeded 100,000 within 15 hours of release. According to the accompanying game department report, sales in the first week are conservatively estimated to reach more than 500,000, basically locking in the phenomenal attributes of "Counter-Strike OL".
With the news made public, it is not difficult to imagine that, first of all, no one within Daenerys will question Simon's decision.
As for total sales, compared with ordinary games, it can often be more accurately inferred based on initial sales. For Counter-Strike OL, once it reaches a phenomenal level, it is difficult to predict the subsequent trend.
However, even if calculated based on the conservative sales volume of 500,000 in the first week, global sales will exceed 10 million, which will not be too difficult.
One of the prerequisites is that Simon is no longer in a hurry to launch 4.0.
The reality is that Simon is actually quite anxious.
For games, Simon also hopes to achieve a saturated, comprehensive release model similar to the current mainstream movie promotion that stimulates market potential as quickly as possible and reaps the most returns in the shortest time. Of course, compared with the effective theater cycle of about two months for movies, the saturated release period of games must be longer.
Specific to "Counter-Strike OL", Simon's planning period is two years.
Two years later, 4.0 will be launched.
At that time, with the further improvement of the software and hardware environment, further improvements can be made to the charging model, such as adding props for charging.
Now, it depends on the specific situation.
If the game is still extremely popular two years later, Simon will not forcefully introduce new products. After all, the subsequent US$35 million in sales of 2.0 can be given up, but if it is US$350 million, there is no need to consider what choice to make.
Simon therefore once again thought of the joke that a die-hard fan used to encourage players to play pirated games.
One of the reasons why the sales of "Counter-Strike OL" this time are so good that cannot be ignored is that piracy has been basically eliminated.
Any player, unless they are willing to play single-player all the time, otherwise, as long as they want to use the online mode, they must use the purchased activation code to activate, and an activation code can only be used once. After activation, the account is directly bound, and you want to share it. Neither is possible.
As for the situation where the activation code of Microsoft system or popular software is cracked, it is very simple to prevent it when connected to the Internet.
Because this game is mainly sold on Westeros system platforms such as Ygritte's Steam mall, Daenerys' official game mall, and Tinco Bair's iMac software mall. If there is no actual consumption in the player account, the game will Being activated is actually very clear to Daenerys.
One of the important reasons why all kinds of software can be cracked is that, just like stand-alone games, the key is to be 'stand-alone' and not connected to the Internet.
All in all, a conservative sales forecast of tens of millions of dollars means that "Counter-Strike OL" is expected to bring nearly US$700 million in revenue to the game department in the next two years. For software, as sales increase, the average cost will only become more dilute. Therefore, even if it is only US$700 million for 10 million sales, the gross profit will reach more than 500 million.
This kind of revenue and profit level has reached a very conspicuous level in Daenerys Entertainment's financial report.
Simon has been promoting the game business to become the next growth point for Daenerys Entertainment after it reaches the ceiling in film and television. Now, just a tens of millions of sales of "Counter-Strike OL" can become Daenerys Entertainment's future. A strong support for growth.
Shirley served breakfast herself and quickly wrote some notes for Girl A to handle. Simon temporarily stopped working.
An impromptu video conference will be arranged with the Los Angeles side in the afternoon to discuss more details related to "Counter-Strike Online".
When Shirley sat down together and felt the faint fragrance coming from the woman's body, Simon remembered something and asked: "Why didn't you go back to the country with them this time?"
Having received an invitation from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala earlier, a group of girls from the Guofeng Art Troupe returned to China some time ago and began rehearsing for the 1998 Spring Festival Gala.
Because it is an unofficial project, it is actually very relaxed here. Others take a year and a half to prepare a show. The girls from the Guofeng Art Troupe only need to participate in the last three months of rehearsals, and they mainly need to run in with the Spring Festival Gala team. After all, that team "Caiwei" is very familiar to most girls.
Due to her relationship with Simon, Shirley has gradually become the daily person in charge of the Guofeng Art Troupe when Chen Qing is away. The Spring Festival Gala has a very high status in the hearts of a generation of Chinese people. Being able to participate in it is a huge honor. Simon did not know that Shirley did not return to China with him this time.
Shirley felt a little guilty when the man asked. She had participated in various domestic cultural programs in the past and knew the ins and outs of them. Even though the Guofeng Art Troupe is special and has all kinds of green lights, as the person in charge, if she really has to go back together, she will definitely still have to work hard.
She was used to the comfort now, and she didn't want to go through such trouble.
So just stay in the United States.
The man's question had to be answered. After a short pause, Shirley quickly said: "The girls are already familiar with "Caiwei" and there is no need for me to follow along. Besides, I am better at the Tang Yun theme that is being rehearsed here. .Simon, regarding Tang Yun, we have completed several dances, do you want to take a look at them today?"
After "The Book of Songs" and the world tour was completed, Simon arranged a second theme for the Guofeng Art Troupe, named "Tang Yun". It is roughly based on the historical and cultural background of the Tang Dynasty to choreograph a series of brand new dances.
No specific requirements.
In fact, it is better not to let a group of goblins have too much time.
Extreme leisure causes trouble.

Simon just mentioned it casually and had no intention of going into details. As long as the women around him don't steal men, everything else doesn't matter. After listening to her to the end, he shook his head: "Next time I have a chance, I have to go back to Manhattan after breakfast. There are still more today." matter."
Shirley hummed and didn't ask any more questions.
It is not her place to get involved in the affairs of the men around her, and women have always been responsible for this.
After breakfast, it was less than eight o'clock, but Simon didn't stay long and took a helicopter to fly to Manhattan early.
