Text Chapter 379 Acting for "Air Combat Pioneer"

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hearing Wang Fuli's proposal, Carmack was very moved.  ¡°The sales of ¡°Legend of Legend¡± in the United States were weak and was suppressed by ¡°Diablo 2¡±.  But the results in China are amazing. Not only did it sell once at the beginning, but it also continued to generate profits through in-app purchases. ?? If we apply that in-app purchase model to "Air Combat Pioneer" and promote it in the US market.  Carmack, who runs this game, can definitely get a stable cash flow.  Carmack believes the game will definitely be profitable.  Because this game targets a brand new group of people, it breaks away from the model of "come home after work, finish busy with life matters, and play games before going to bed".  Everyone who has free time in the workplace is equipped to play such a small game.  At present, American companies have generally begun to use computers for office work, and there are conditions for this.  There is a senior engineer at id Software who likes to play two Microsoft "three-dimensional pinballs" in his spare time.  Of course, the vast majority of people cannot use office computers to play games if they have the conditions. This is a certain thing.  No boss would allow the transcriber he hired to play games during working hours.  But there are always people who can play games in the office.  Many self-employed people, such as small grocery store owners and auto repair shop mechanics, play games when they have no business. Who will care about them?  The previous small games were too simple.  With a theme of fighting aliens like "Aerial Combat Pioneer" and a light gameplay, it should be able to attract the attention of that group of people.  Especially, those who are qualified to play games in the workplace.  Higher spending power.  For example, the receptionist of a large company is unlikely to use the computer in front of him to play games. The annual salary of the receptionist is about 30,000 US dollars, and his spending power is not high.  In contrast, a technical partner of a startup company can spend his time as he pleases, and his annual salary plus dividends is at least several hundred thousand.  With higher spending power, the chances of paying for certain game features are also much higher.  The important profit point of the game "Air Combat Pioneer" is definitely paid functions such as "spending money to buy time" and "spending money to buy vision".  these things.  Carmack has seen variations.  It's easy to imagine.  Carmack is now not only a game producer and engine developer, but also a businessman who is short of money.  When I suddenly saw such an opportunity, of course I wanted to seize it.  Provide cash support for him to make classic games again in the future.  "If this game can generate one million US dollars in benefits every year.  So for id software.  It's already a lot of money.     only.  If you want to operate an online game, you need a lot of upfront capital.  Promotion and publicity cost money.  Carmack's funds were stretched thin, but he really didn't want to give up the opportunity in front of him.  So after thinking for a long time, I decided to mortgage ID Software's building in Texas to get a loan.  Carmack did not express this idea, and only said to Wang Fulian: "If you are willing to act as an agent for me, it will definitely be a very beneficial cooperation for both of us. If the agency contract can be signed as soon as possible, I will try to do it before the end of the year."  "The game is ready. Why do we have to wait half a year?" "Because this game uses real-life fighter jets, otherwise the design company will be sued."  Awesome. If you can't get the authorized fighter, you need to make adjustments." Carmack said with a wry smile. In fact, he also needed time to talk to the bank about the mortgage.  Wang Fulai didn¡¯t expect there to be this layer. It seems that ¡°Counter-Strike¡± has this problem. The well-known ¡°Ak47¡± was called ¡°CV47¡±. Other real-life firearms have changed their names, probably to avoid legal problems.  It seems that if Wang Fuli establishes a US branch in the future, the first person he must hire is a team of lawyers.  The two companies have not yet officially signed a contract, but Wang Fuli is considering that since he has found an agent for "Air Combat Pioneer", should he take the game to id Software's booth for display?  It is a problem that ID Software¡¯s booth is too shabby, and Wang Fulai also has practical considerations.  Since "Air Combat Pioneer" is not operated by itself, displaying it at Celadon Technology's booth can only tell visiting players and media that such a game is about to be released.  The effect is not very good.  Exhibiting it to id Software also allows players and the media to remember one more piece of information. This is a game represented by id Software.  Maximizing the influence of this e3 exhibition will benefit both Wang and Carmack.  Wang lived up to his words and was about to speak.  Carmack also had this intention, and first said: "When the contract is signed, can you get my booth? Although my booth in the South District is not as good as here, the space is larger and can accommodate more people." Both parties  Coincidentally, Wang Fuli nodded and said: "No problem at all. Can I take the game to your place now?" "?According to the regulations of the exhibition, we still have to wait for the formal contract to be signed.  "I will ask my lawyer to draw up the contract and try to sign it as soon as possible," Carmack said.  As soon as the day after tomorrow, "Air Combat Pioneer" can be moved to id Software's booth.  " Doesn't that mean that when the exhibition opens tomorrow, "Air Combat Pioneer" will have to be placed at Celadon Technology's booth? The brand of Celadon Technology was also promoted, and everyone was really happy. As for waiting for the game "Air Combat Pioneer" to be moved to the Southern District  , What about the location in the west area? Wang Fulian thought about it, and asked someone from the exhibition if he could share the best location with the target software. Wang Fulian only needed to install a large TV.  The place was empty, so it was better to give it to Target Software. The exhibition organizers were surprised when they heard about this problem. It had been so many years since e3 had been established, and they had never heard of such a thing.  , Wang Fulian can decide by himself, but the rent is always paid by Wang Fulian. Sony, Nintendo in the West District, and major publishers in the South District all rent a very large booth and then divide it into small pieces.  The booth is for its manufacturers. Wang Fuhua¡¯s situation is just slightly different. There is no reason why the exhibition does not allow it. ¡°That¡¯s right.  Wang Fuli thought of something and asked the staff: "Why is my booth in the West District?"  Doesn¡¯t e3 have four exhibition halls?  "Wang Fulian is very surprised. Except for Celadon Technology and Target Software, the entire Western District is full of console games. Not a single Japanese manufacturer sells PC games. In the Western District, Wang Fulian always feels a little out of place. "The staff understood Wang  Living up to his meaning, he smiled: ¡°The exhibition areas are determined according to the location and influence of the manufacturers, regardless of platform.  As long as it is a large manufacturer in Asia, its booth will be arranged in the west area. There is no rule that only console games are allowed in the west area.  The Japanese have their own internal rules, and we cannot interfere with them.  Your company can enter the Western District because its influence has far exceeded the Western District's admission standards.  "Wang Fulai understood after hearing this. Just like there are PC games in the Southern District, Microsoft's X-Wave  Games have entered, but manufacturers that do not make PC games have reached the entry threshold. Has Celadon Technology become a major manufacturer? Wang Fulai was stunned, and he calculated the sales volume of his games in overseas countries.  The sales volume is even more incredible. Wang has the mindset of 2014 in terms of products, channels, platforms, and entrances. He has taken all aspects into consideration without deliberately designing it. Unknowingly, it has become something that even the e3 exhibition party pays attention to.  Wang was surprised when he calculated the total sales volume. No wonder it was able to enter the Western District! "Is it because the sales volume meets the entry criteria?  "Wang Fulai asked. The staff member replied: "Yes, Target Software's "Three Kingdoms" has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.  This is a very remarkable achievement.  " Wang Fuli nodded. He said in his heart, since the West District is not the world of Japanese console games, but the stage of major Asian manufacturers. Then one day, he will break the Japanese-dominated scene in the West District. Do one thing at a time  , Wang Fulian went to tell Zhang Chun of Target Software about the booth, and asked him to prepare early. Zhang Chun of Target Software sighed and said: "We should have chosen the 'Patri Area'.  , participating in the exhibition together with manufacturers from Taiwan and South Korea.  I just walked through our booth again, and this location is inaccessible to ordinary people.  ¡± In the e3 exhibition, it is not only divided into the South Zone and the West Zone. In addition to the South Zone, which accommodates large European and American manufacturers, and the West Zone, which accommodates large Asian manufacturers, other small manufacturers will be divided into the "Patri Zone" and "Kendia Zone"  ". "Target Software's "Three Kingdoms" last year had global sales of over 10 million. Even if the main user groups are in China, it is of course a major Asian company and is qualified to enter the Western District. "Boss, the exhibition only allows us to participate in the Western District. This in itself  It¡¯s glory!  They think that we are a big factory in Asia, so we can come here!  "An employee said. Another employee said: "And this year we came to e3 with our own strength, not with agents.  Coming to the West District is the beginning. When we have experience next year, we will choose a good location!  " Zhang Chun still sighed. Target Software came to e3 last year. The booth was in the South District. It was a large booth rented by the agent, and part of it was allocated to Target Software. This year they came to e3 alone. Although it is indeed better than last year.  There were many, but this booth was not as good as last year. Wang Fuhua heard their conversation and said directly to Zhang Chun without saying anything more: "Wait a minute."??'s air combat game signed a contract with an American company, so the booth was vacated. You can come to my place to exhibit "Three Kingdoms 2".  " When Zhang Chun heard this, he didn't dare to agree and refused again and again. Just kidding, how much does that booth cost? One day's rent is enough for him to pay two months' salary. " Wang Fulian smiled and said: ""Air Combat Pioneer" got an agent  Exhibiting in the merchant's booth will have better publicity effect.  I came to e3 just to promote my game.  The space is freed up, and it is wasted. If your game can arouse greater response and sell better, it will also be beneficial to me.  "(To be continued)
