Otherworldly Architect

After Ming Yan finished speaking, dozens of seconds passed.

It was only until Yu Bing's brain slowly digested this amazing news that he could almost hear every nerve making a "fuck" sound.

He was dumbfounded, his mouth showing an O shape, and said, "Oh...oh!"

Even such a simple word, can't wait to stutter.

God knows how shocked Yu Bing is!

Blue Star Studio and Dragon Sabre Studio... Aren't they two extremes? !

One is an existence like the flower of Gao Ling, the most conscientious and purest game production team in the minds of players, an angel who can't even send money;

The other is ridiculed by players in every possible way, creating a new game category for money, and a money-grabbing bully known in the industry as "God of Wealth"...

In Yu Bing's school, teachers usually mention these two studios, and they are listed as two kinds of people separately;

On the forum, the latter is used to contrast the otherworldliness of the former;

In the industry, those who support Bluestar and those who support the Dragon Saber despise each other, which can be called a golden topic of "dream party" and "money-making party"...

——The two studios so different from each other are actually twins? Was it created by the same designer? !

Yu Bing is completely Buddha.

When I looked at Ming Yan before, I was already looking at the seniors in an industry, the kind with outstanding achievements and outstanding records, which made people couldn't help but long for it.

Now we have to add the record of Tulong Baodao Studio to see...

The VR works have been well-received and popular, causing huge repercussions in the industry; mobile game works can quickly lead the trend, and their ability to attract money is extremely high.

At this time, Yu Bing had only one thought in his heart: "Fuck, this can't be considered a person at all!" It's a devil who plays with people's hearts! !

If this secret were to be known to the fans of Blue Star, and if it were to be known to the Mingjiao sects who had already worshiped Mingyan to the extreme...

Yu Bing couldn't imagine that scene at all.

Ming Yan also saw Yu Bing's shock.

It was quiet for dozens of seconds before and after, Ming Yan had to cough to remind him to return to his senses.

"All in all, if you want, you can try to do an internship in the Dragon Sabre Studio first." Ming Yan said, "Whether or not "Fingertip Man" wants to cooperate with us to continue the development-"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Bing hurriedly said: "Yes! Of course I do! I can hand over all the authorizations of the entire game to the leader!"

Ming Yan smiled and said, "No, no, you still have to follow the rules, and then ask my secretary to discuss the licensing fee with you. Although you are still a student, you must learn to protect your own interests and don't hand it over casually."

Yu Bing naturally responded in every possible way, he could see Ming Yan's appreciation for him.

He felt flattered.

After that, Ming Yan pointed out Yu Bing a few questions about the design of "Fingertip Man", and the time soon arrived at noon.

The secretary gave Yu Bing a temporary meal coupon and asked him to go to Blue Star's staff cafeteria for a free meal.

In the follow-up, the OFFER from Tulong Baodao Studio will be delivered to Yu Bing's mailbox soon.

Today he is free to visit Blue Star - without being able to see the work computer, of course.

Blue Star's secrecy work is still in place, especially in the stage of new game development.

Yu Bing firmly grasped the opportunity of this "Blue Star Day Trip".

You must know that such an opportunity can be sold at sky-high prices on the Blue Star Forum.

He excitedly went to several areas that allowed him to enter, and asked several old employees for autographs with a cheeky face.

- Your Excellency Wrynn! ! The prototype of the swordsman's first skin in "League of Legends" is also the team leader of the current art team, a veteran of the industry!

- Your Excellency Schrodinger! The boss of the programming team, spares no effort to crack down on plug-ins, and is a technical tycoon supported by players!

——Sister Ling Xiaoman... Hey, she is so pretty! 0.0

...

Time slowly entered the late autumn.

The turmoil of the first star show competition held by the IPP family passed quickly.

The contestants who won the championship have all joined the famous big companies in the industry, which has attracted a lot of attention.

The team of the third runner-up Yu Bing is also——

Because Mingyan's optimism comes first, many teams would rather believe what they have than do not trust them. Out of unconditional trust in Mingyan, they all cast olive branches to Yu Bing and others.

It's a pity that Yu Bing went directly to the Tulong Baodao studio for an internship.

In terms of financial strength, this studio is well-known. Therefore, when the competitors saw the situation, they had no choice but to give up.

On the other hand, the cooperation between Zhu Wenshu and the IPP family was temporarily suspended.

Because he announced that he had left the original company and joined a new studio with his new works.

The name of the studio is not mentioned, but it is directly funded by Cruise Capital!

That night, Zhu Wenshu sent a long letter to Xia Cheng's mailbox.

In the letter, he said: [... just wait and see, I will definitely prove myself! As long as I have the same resources, as long as I have fair treatment, my talent and my future are far more than Blue Star's assholes! I will prove myself in the next game! And he is nothing! 】

In fact, Xia Cheng just glanced at the subject of the email, confirmed it was a private matter, and threw it in the trash.

Just kidding, I wish Wen Shu only Xia Cheng's work mailbox.

During business hours, it's too late to check a pile of formal emails, and who cares to watch a villain's chatter.

However, Zhu Wenshu's past boss, out of a regretful state of mind, also persuaded Zhu Wenshu to say a few words.

——Although Cruise Capital has a big business, they basically don’t do games. They just sell games as ordinary virtual goods, and they don’t have the slightest emotion!

——The gamers who really want to do well in the game will not choose to go to a large group like Cruise Capital unless they have to, just like Blue Star once chose.

But when the word "Blue Star" was mentioned, the boss did not praise the other party's arrogance.

Zhu Wenshu had already exploded, and said angrily: "It's Blue Star again! It's Mingyan again! What's so great about him? Isn't it just playing games, I can do it too! I can do 110,000 better than him. Bei! You all wait and see for me, don't bully the poor young!"

Then he blocked all those who persuaded him.

This is to want a way to the end.

Others can't say anything about his choice. Maybe with the deep financial resources of the cruise ship behind it, Zhu Wenshu can really open up a way?

The boss thought to himself: If it's like Tulong Baodao Studio, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Contrary to what most players think, the Dragon Slayer Sword is actually very promising in the industry.

After all, the insider sees the way.

Looking at the games released since the establishment of Dragon Slayer Sword, the first is "Anti-Tian Jue", a fast-paced numerical game, famous for "making money so fast that it is more like robbery".

The first is "Card Alliance", a brand-new game category. Although it was jointly developed by Bluestar, the game content itself is excellent - but the card drawing mode itself is a new type of profit plan that shocks professionals!

Whether this kind of profit model was developed by the leader of Blue Star or the person who developed the Dragon Slayer Sword has not yet been determined.

But no matter what, Tulong Baodao is still the founder of a big genre, opening the door to a new world for many gamers who suffer from the unprofitability of the game.

The editor like the Atlas family is already a well-known "Dragon Slayer" in the industry.

He also published a long blog before, defining the "props fee" model of Tulong Baodao as a major milestone in the profit model of the game industry, and "buyout fee" and "time point card fee" are also known as the three major profit models. .

A game like "Defying the Sky" has become almost cool in the past two years, because there is not much content in the game itself, and in their opinion, it is not worth promoting.

But its profit-making ideas can be used for reference.

For example, mounts with a shiny appearance, weapons that can be enchanted, strengthened, synthesized, inlaid and other upgrade methods, or some simplified privileges in the game process, or special title certification for server rankings, etc. These things are actually Let the players play more fun!

Games like this are fantastic for paying players, and really are the coolest games ever made.

When the game came out, it was a shock.

Now that I think about it, there is still so much to learn.

The most unfortunate thing is that the people in Tulong Baodao Studio are very "reclusive".

Their person in charge has yet to show up, and all invitations are pushed as soon as they can, and the deputy chief division is dispatched if they cannot.

The real chief designer, Shenlong, is also known as the "Mysterious God of Wealth" both inside and outside the circle.

According to legend, a local tyrant in "Anti-Tian Jue" spent a lot of money just to meet, but in the end, he failed to meet.

Some people even joked: "The God of Wealth is afraid that once he shows up, the immortal energy on his body will be wiped out by you."

So far, Tulong Baodao Studio has a nominal total of more than 20 employees.

Most people are also not in charge of developing games, and are only responsible for maintaining the operation of two major mobile games.

The real development team was someone else, and it was very small.

After all, the development cycle of mobile games is shorter, especially Tulongbaodao also likes to hire outsourcing teams and spend more human resources with money.

After Yu Bing joined with "Fingertip Man".

"Mysterious God of Wealth" also handed over the revised plan to the interior of the studio.

As soon as the small meeting opened, everyone understood that the main content of the second half of this year was this "placement game".

No hesitation, no pressure.

——In the past, it has proved the money-making ability of God of Fortune countless times!

——Just do what he said, just wait for the bonus when you’re done.

...

Both of Mingyan's studios have entered the intense development process of new games.

At the same time, he has to find time to focus on the third season of "League of Legends".

The game entered its third year and finally began to exert its power.

If it is said that in the first year, Blue Star still has to make money at a loss, and in the second year, it can finally be responsible for its own profits and losses, and can also attract sponsors...

The third year is a fruitful year.

Before October, the third season must enter the preparatory stage.

Because the scale of players has changed from the past, the applicants from the sixth star province alone are already crowded with three registration channels, not to mention the contestants who have traveled all the way from other star provinces.

After all, after the two waves of "publicity" by Jialian's father, Blue Star now has a name all over the world.

Season 3 is also the first time that other star provinces have more participants than the sixth star province!

The official notice has not been issued yet, and many companies have come to ask about sponsorship.

You must know that during the league last year alone, the top-ranked sponsor received about a 5% increase in channel performance.

According to the analysis of targeted traffic, the traffic from the League of Legends advertising space has brought them at least 20 million sales bonus, not to mention the expansion of the potential user market.

what is this?

This is the golden signboard of the God of Wealth.

Bluestar has directly proved with a game that people in the game industry can make money by cooperating with them, and so can people in other industries!

One of the great advantages of the League of Legends professional league is that it is equally entertaining and entertaining, and even players who don’t play this game can get a certain amount of viewing pleasure from it.

Looking at it, the influence of this game has spread among the pan-player group.

The pan-player group also refers to some ultra-light players, who may not play games at all, or are old players who have long since left the game circle.

Once these people come back and start playing games again, if they don’t go back to play romantic games, they will probably choose the hottest game at the moment.

——Without him, because at least I have a certain understanding.

In this regard, the League of Legends in the past has continued to absorb new players in the game circle.

The League of Legends, which began in the third season, has begun to recruit potential user groups for the game circle in turn.

As Blue Star is more optimistic, the cooperation with sponsors has become more and more in-depth.

Many people who do not play games may suddenly see game characters on the packaging of their favorite beverages, or they may catch sight of them while chatting and eating with others, or they may stop to see them when they pass by Internet cafes or big screens in commercial areas. Great scene from the game.

Even when the hotel hears a BGM, someone will whisper: "It's the login music of the League of Legends!"

When many students are playing on the computer during the holidays, the elders who don't play games at home will suddenly say: "What game are you playing? Is it the League of Legends?"

...

Events like this are all phenomena that can only be triggered by a big IP game.

In Internet parlance, this is called "out of the circle".

Therefore, the sponsors who came to bid this year are also varied and varied.

There was even a men's underwear manufacturer who came and sent ten sets of the current season's new styles directly to Blue Star Studio, plus a small gift for each person.

Operations like this are quite common. As long as the gifts are not too large, Blue Star is a small bonus by default, which is piled up in the warehouse with the gifts sent by the players.

But this one is bad. The style of the underwear itself is too showy, and there are actually tails.

The talents in the Blue Star studio started playing right away.

It is impossible to wear it, and it is impossible to wear it in this life.

But Blue Star also has an image ambassador and press spokesman!

Xixi: "??????"

Led by the boss Schrödinger, Varian as the dog-headed strategist, and Ling Xiaoman as the actual executor, the employees captured Xixi alive and put on a set of rabbit-eared furry underwear for her.

Sisi: "..."

God is pitiful to see that Xixi was wrapped up in front and back, almost unable to walk, spinning around blankly, trying to see what was on her buttocks.

Ming Yan, who came to work this day, was stunned to see Xixi's appearance.

——What did the golden retriever do wrong again!

Ming Yan decisively took out his mobile phone and took a picture of this humiliating scene for it, and said: "It's so beautiful! Change it every day in the future!"

The employees cheered happily.

All in all, a certain underwear manufacturer inexplicably obtained a small cooperation qualification.

Although Blue Star has no plans to advertise directly in the professional league, it is preparing to launch a pajama series of skins in cooperation.

Five occupations were selected by voting in the studio, and then handed over to the original manufacturers, asking them to submit a set of underwear that matches the characteristics of the occupation.

Exposure is impossible, in short, it must conform to the core socialist values.

Wrap it tightly, and you can't see it below the neck.

To be honest, although underwear manufacturers are confused, it does not prevent them from happily popping champagne to celebrate.

Even if it's not a super-traffic promotion like the professional league, Blue Star's willingness to give a set of skins is a pie!

Skin is a long-term investment. If players enter the game and watch their beloved characters wear pajamas designed by them every day, will they become their loyal customers sooner or later?

Originally, when they saw this year's sponsor's bidding situation, they all felt that they had no hope.

Unexpectedly, I do not know why it was appointed?

Well, could it be that... the chief designer Ming likes this toned underwear? !

Important information, write it down!

In addition to several long-term partners, this year's professional league sponsorship has finally been finalized.

Last year's high-quality partners wanted to renew their contracts this year without exception. In the end, the big sports car manufacturer won the bid last year, and the other two were replaced by chain restaurant brands and a jewelry maker.

The catering boss also took the initiative to issue free coupons in his plan, and at the same time launched a snack in cooperation with Blue Star, called "Little Star".

The marketing cooperation department of Bluestar also reciprocated. On the video account of the official website, it took the initiative to launch a series of videos, which mainly edited the speeches of the contestants in the microphones on the field.

There are already quite a few video programs like this on major websites.

To know that a game is popular, it can always drive countless surrounding content, including videos, comics, novels, music, etc.

Now the official has also launched several programs on its own.

While showing the video of the official recording of the game, while "official play stalks to kill colleagues", it can be said to be a professional fan.

This year's League of Legends professional league is also the first time Ming Yan has completely let go.

He handed over the design of the profession, the balance of values, etc. to the corresponding person in charge, and he no longer intervened.

It turns out that the designer can also take on the heavy lifting.

Taking full responsibility for the first year, he did a very good job of completely stabilizing the meta on the eve of the finals.

When the finals started, it was time for the Blue Star Studios to collectively watch the competition without doing any business!

Contrary to what many people think, in fact, designers will also "chasing stars".

In the third year of the game, the routines developed by the players have basically exceeded the imagination of the designers themselves.

Ming Yan said that he would be amazed, the operation and awareness of those professional players are really at their peak, and he would definitely not work for him.

If the designers don't keep up with the development of the event, maybe the next version will be broken by professional masters.

Therefore, the professional masters who developed the routines were actually written down on the designer's notebooks, and they kept an eye on their highlights on the field from time to time.

During the group stage this year, one profession even broke out a bug-level combo on the field. The person in charge of the scene was so frightened that he directly sent an emergency communication to Bluestar's design team.

"Is this a bug?" he asked.

The game over there was suspended on the spot, but definitely not for long.

When the two commentators bit the bullet and started chatting, the designers of Blue Star also took the time to discuss.

In the end, they said that it was not a bug and that there was no need for a rematch.

But the next game version must be patched to make this bug-level combo disappear!

However, the professional player was also completely famous, claiming to be "the man who asked Blue Star to patch him".

The ultimate card!

He quickly killed almost all the players on the field and led the team to the finals, killing all opponents with one hand as an assassin.

In the end, he won the championship in the third season with a score of 3:1.

The player whose ID is "Demon King" brought another trophy to the sixth-star province because he came from the sixth-star province.

It is now recognized on the Internet that the sixth star province is the first division of the League of Legends. It already has the world's first ADC player, and this time it is likely to have the world's first mid lane assassin player.

Everyone in Blue Star Studio also compared all the data for the same period and gave a ranking list.

Sure enough, this player ranked first in the assassin ranking.

After the finals, the official also interviewed him.

When asked "why the name was chosen", the player smiled confidently and said, "Because my idol is the **** of assassins in the e-sports circle, the great devil Odin."

It also sparked heated discussions online.

The League of Legends has a total of five positions, and now there are three positions in the world that belong to the sixth star province.

A total of three season finals, two championship trophies belong to the sixth star province.

For a time, the players in the sixth star province were also full of honor, and there was even a saying on the forum that "the masters of the first division are equivalent to the kings of other divisions".

As a result, players in other regions are of course very dissatisfied.

On the official forum, a wave of healthy competition soon set off.

Players from different star provinces in the Chaoyang Alliance started to fight each other spontaneously, and the online battles also played well.

As for the designers of Blue Star, they watched Ming Yan with a thoughtful expression.

shivering.

The boss must have had the idea of ​​the devil again!
