There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Chapter 630: What does Linmu Studio want to do?

Chapter 630 What does Linmu Studio want to do?

Everything that happened in the conference room of the New Ji Society.

Just a small episode.

Few people know about it.

It didn't even get out.

But as Li Guangsheng said, this episode is about business.

The change in wind direction cannot be hidden at all.

As for the change in wind direction, it is very simple, that is—the popularity of games has begun to feed back the comics.

The original author of the manga "Dark Engraving", Nishio Seijun, has been updated for two weeks.

But the popularity of comics has not only not decreased.

Instead, it went up!

On the ranking list of the largest fan website, for a whole week, you can see the fan pictures of the heroine of the manga secretly engraved.

The number of fan pictures of other characters also began to skyrocket.

As for the sales volume of the manga booklet, although Xinjishe did not announce it.

But such a drastic change cannot be hidden from practitioners at all.

in addition.

In addition to the data mentioned by the sales director of the Xinji Society.

There's also a change that comic readers perceive more strongly, but he doesn't say.

That is the animated version of "Dark Engraving"!

The week when the "Day of Reincarnation" linkage event was launched, the latest episode of the animation that was broadcast that week had a new high ratings, becoming the highest-rated episode of the animation version so far...

The episode with the highest ratings in the entire animation!

This news is not guessed by readers, but confirmed by the animation production team and announced.

So most manga readers know.

but.

Most of the manga readers saw this news and didn't say anything good...

No matter where it is, if popular long-form manga wants to be adapted into animation, there will be some problems.

The most prominent among them is the quality problem.

In Lin Yao’s previous life, many of Shueisha’s novels didn’t play the marathon of yearly events, at most they were made into half-year events.

Then give the production company a certain breathing space, which can also maximize the quality.

But here, for a super-popular manga like "Dark Engraving", it is still the same old way to change it into an animation... That is, it has been a super long year. Even if it catches up with the progress of the manga, it must be original and guaranteed to be updated.

I really can't stand it anymore, so let's go to the last episode.

In short, it cannot be broken.

This is of course a good thing for animation audiences at the beginning, but when the time is prolonged, it is not a good thing.

Repeated delays, less content in each episode, erratic quality, etc... are common things.

The current animated version of "Dark Engraving" is in a similar predicament.

Why did the animation have the highest ratings in the week when the "Day of Reincarnation" linkage event was launched? This is because a lot of players saw the animation before the start of the standalone copy of the game.

Because I feel amazing.

Out of intense curiosity.

I went to watch the animation.

Then...then there is no after.

After watching the opening animation before the independent copy of "Day of Reincarnation", and then watching the serious animation version, it is like falling from heaven to hell...

It's no wonder the audience can say anything good at this time.

The producer announced that under the tweet with the highest ratings, all players are venting their hatred for iron and steel...

but.

Regardless of the word-of-mouth of the animated version.

At least the fact that the ratings hit a new high is not fake.

Everyone can see what has been obtained after "Dark Engraving" and "Day of Reincarnation" are linked together.

Let’s just say that.

This linkage, whether obtained by the game party or the copyright party.

are very exciting.

Domestic counterparts witnessed with their own eyes that the "Day of Reincarnation" linkage event was launched because too many people recharged and caused server problems. They also witnessed that the comic readers who came here because of the linkage became loyal players.

The copyright owner also said just now that the soaring sales of the booklet of "Dark Engraving" cannot be hidden from practitioners at all.

And see such results.

What do these practitioners think?

is very simple.

Started to go in both directions...

soon.

Xi Qianyu from the business department of Linmu Studio discovered it.

Then go to business negotiations.

At least to talk about ACG-related copyrights in Japan, the difficulty began to drop sharply.

most of the time.

She just contacted the other party and revealed her name without even explaining the reason.

The opponent will first perform a wave of what is called a 180-degree turn of attitude.

In short it is.

Talk!

can talk!

The authorization fee is easy to talk about, don’t worry, just take your time...

Some smaller companies even started to lick Xi Qianyu.

Xi Qianyu, a big yellow girl, never met a dog licking in Linmu Studio.

On the contrary, in business negotiations with other companies, I frequently encounter dog licking... I really can't laugh or cry.

But anyway.

This is a good thing...

And the other side.

Sky fox.

Li Guangsheng was the first to notice the change in wind direction.

It was precisely because the popularity of the game began to feed back the comics that he agreed to Mou Feng's request.

Because he knows it well.

At this time, the copyright owner is probably also shocked by the linkage results of "The Day of Reincarnation".

Negotiating at this time, the price is extremely small, and the difficulty is still small.

And under the promotion of Mou Feng.

They are also fast.

Of course, they don't have the same treatment as Xi Qianyu.

However, the respect that the copyright owner should give will still be given, mainly because Tianhu's second name in China is still bluffing.

Second.

It can't be much worse, right?

"Day of Reincarnation" can make "Dark Engrave" a higher level, so the second-ranked game company can always make its own work a half-level higher, right?

It is precisely because of this idea.

Even in the face of Tianhu, the copyright owner is still enthusiastic.

Tianhu's linkage plan has also been promoted.

Follow up the negotiations with Tianhu.

soon.

Some things can't be hidden.

Because Linmu Studio is attacking across the board.

Tianhu is also the second child, and the targets are all high-profile popular works.

Such works are often in the plan of Linmu Studio...

So soon, Mou Feng got such news.

Linmu Studio not only talked about "Dark Engraving"... but also talked about many popular works.

Heard the news.

Mou Feng put a question mark first.

Then he took a deep breath.

More than "Dark Engraving"?

There are so many IPs?

Linmu Studio...what do you want to do! ? conquer the world! ?

…

Linmu Studio is engaged in an IP licensing competition.

Tianhu did not take the initiative to leak it.

Because it doesn't do them any good.

But it is foreseeable that "Day of Reincarnation" will maintain its current popularity in the future, and the value of linkage activities will be seen by more people.

Then more peers will join in and play this set of linkage.

And by then, it may be difficult to hide it...

Linmu Studio.

Lin Yao also heard from Xi Qianyu that some domestic counterparts joined the copyright negotiation.

"So fast?"

Lin Yao was a little surprised.

She thought it would take at least a month before her peers would really make up their minds.

"I chatted with the staff of several companies, and they all know that the sales volume of the single book "Dark Engrave" has increased a lot, and the popularity has also increased significantly."

Xi Qianyu explained: "It's not a secret that these are all because of the linkage activities, maybe it's because of seeing this.

Considering that the negotiation will be easier in the future, Tianhu will join it so soon... The fact is also true. It is indeed much easier to negotiate now. Not only the harsh terms have disappeared, but the cost has also been greatly reduced. cut. "

"I see...I see."

Lin Yao nodded when she heard the words, and then fell into deep thought.

Although she is mentally prepared for this.

But it was beyond her expectation that colleagues joined in so soon.

She also thought of it... Linmu Studio's copyright competition cannot be hidden.

"Are you afraid of leaking?"

not far away.

Seeing Lin Yao's expression, Xi Qianyu seemed to think of something and asked.

"Leakage is certain, there is such a good example of "Samsara Day", plus there are so many people staring at us."

Lin Yao came back to her senses, and smiled at her: "I'm already mentally prepared for this, but don't worry too much, as long as we don't tell ourselves, probably ninety-nine percent of people will never think that we will So bold.

Of course, if there are no accidents, we need to do something ourselves... This is what I was thinking just now, but you don't have to worry about it, just leave these things to the product department. "

"You guys have worked hard enough. Also, if I'm not mistaken, although the success of "Day of Reincarnation" will make a 180-degree change in the attitude of the animation and comic copyright owners in Japan, but it's the game's turn. IP, it is estimated that it will not be so easy, especially for larger companies and well-known IPs, it may be even more difficult to discuss than before.

After all, seeing how successful we are, it’s normal to wait for the price. You should be mentally prepared. "

Xi Qianyu immediately straightened her expression after hearing the words: "I understand, I am mentally prepared, don't worry."

"That you're busy."

Lin Yao smiled at her again.

Xi Qianyu nodded, then took her leave and left.

Lin Yao watched as Xi Qianyu closed the door, then breathed a sigh of relief and stretched a little.

Then I thought about it and sorted out the messy manuscripts on the table.

Evacuate the space.

Then pull out a new blank drawing paper, pick up a pencil...

But she was not in a hurry to write.

Instead, he sat on a chair, tapped his toes on the floor, and turned in a circle.

Looking for some inspiration.

More than half an hour later.

When Mu Wanqing walked in, Lin Yao was still spinning around...

She was a little funny: "Aren't you afraid of getting dizzy?"

"Ok?"

Lin Yao came back to her senses, stopped turning around, and looked at Mu Wanqing.

"What's wrong with you?"

Mu Wanqing knew she didn't hear clearly, but she didn't ask again, but smiled gently.

"I'm looking for inspiration, Miss Mu."

Lin Yao put down the pencil and sighed: "Do you have any clue about the horror character?"

"..."

Without any hesitation, Mu Wanqing immediately shook her head: "No!"

"The answer is so fast."

Lin Yao was startled, and then said a little funny: "...But forget it, you don't seem to dare to watch horror movies."

Mu Wanqing came to Lin Yao's desk and retorted: "Who said, didn't you see that you stayed at my house during the Spring Festival?"

Lin Yao dismantled the stage: "You mean that bad movie you complained about for half an hour?"

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "...then you come to my house again, and I'll show you."

Lin Yao was noncommittal, but teased: "Torture yourself, and torture me, right?"

"So why do you suddenly think of horror characters?"

Mu Wanqing didn't ask any more questions, but pulled a chair from the side while asking.

"Cover." Lin Yao replied.

"Cover?"

Mu Wanqing smoothed the skirt along the upturned skirt, and at the same time sat down gracefully, she asked curiously.

"Well, look at the whiteboard next to it. We are engaged in an IP competition. We can't just have "Samsara Day" as a game linkage, right? These colleagues have to think about what we are going to do every day."

Lin Yao pointed to the whiteboard next to her.

Mu Wanqing turned her head and looked at the whiteboard beside her, thinking of Lin Yao's words during the Spring Festival, she understood.

She stopped talking, stretched out her hand to gently stroke the hair on her temples, and then sat quietly watching Lin Yao paint.

Every day after things come to an end, she will come here to sit for a while.

Take it as a break.

The animation before the two independent copies of "Day of Reincarnation" was completed by Lin Yao under the watchful eyes of Mu Wanqing.

But it's a pity.

Lin Yao doesn't seem to have much inspiration today.

Although it doesn't go around in circles anymore.

But holding a pencil, she has been unable to draw an outline on the drawing paper.

Just drawing messy lines aimlessly.

Mu Wanqing really can't help her in this regard, she can only assist her with her eyes.

The rustling sound continued.

Continuously sketching messy lines, Lin Yao still didn't have any good ideas, so she finally raised her head.

With a relaxed mood, she turned her head and looked to the side.

beside.

Mu Wanqing's slender and straight jade legs are close together, sitting upright, elegant and demure...

"What's the matter?" Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao with some doubts.

"...has it!"

Lin Yao sized up Mu Wanqing, who was sitting gracefully, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "saymyname!"

"Huh?...Lin Yao?"

When Mu Wanqing heard Lin Yao's words, she subconsciously replied.

“…not my name.”

Lin Yao put down the pencil, held the mouse, and opened the search engine.

Then, she pointed to the screen: "This, the classic monster in the classic comics of the 80s! The bloodthirsty witch! Calling her name can bring misfortune, I have inspiration!"

"..."

Mu Wanqing looked at the **** girl named Bloodthirsty Witch on the screen, then looked down at herself, reacted, and smiled angrily.

She grabbed Lin Yao's soft face: "You imagine me as a classic monster, right?"

"Hey, don't pinch your face, it's just a coincidence..."

Lin Yao leaned back, trying to get rid of her hand.

Mu Wanqing puffed up her cheeks very girlishly, not letting her get rid of it, but holding her face and pulling her towards him.

"..."

…

finally.

Lin Yao still drew ‘Bloodthirsty Witch’.

And afternoon.

Linmu studio, conference room.

Lin Yao met Wang Mang, the head of Conglong Studio.

"Bloodthirsty witch?"

Wang Mang was stunned for half a second.

However, during this period of time, he also made up a lot of horror movies for the game.

So I quickly reacted: "The character in the comic of the same name? Catherine?"

"right."

Lin Yao smiled, and then handed her the manuscript that was drawn in the morning: "This will be the first linked character of "Dead by Daylight"."

Wang Mang took the manuscript and looked down.

On paper.

A well-dressed girl leaps onto the paper. She holds a paper knife and places it next to her red lips. With a distorted smile on her beautiful face, she looks at Wang Mang outside the drawing paper.

It seems that as long as Wang Man speaks his name, it will bring misfortune...

Wang Mang looked at the somewhat familiar 'Bloodthirsty Witch' on the drawing paper, but his temperament had changed drastically, his eyes lit up suddenly.

"How about it?"

Lin Yao asked a question.

"So cool!" Wang Mang raised his head and replied immediately.

"Then it's decided, let this character appear at the carnival! I will give you the relevant setting information later."

Lin Yao nodded, and continued: "Let me tell you about the characteristics of this character first. In my imagination, this is an agility character who crazily shouts 'saymyname' while frantically chasing and killing other players' witches." .

Every time a character is caught, she will force the player to say their name, and then get a speed bonus. In addition, give players the right to call their names or not, asymmetric confrontation, cooperation for survival, sincere cooperation, and shit-stirring sticks are interesting. "

"..."

Wang Mang's eyes became brighter when he heard Lin Yao's words.

But soon he thought of something, and asked curiously: "But boss, didn't you say that there is no need to worry about the linkage characters? Why are you showing it now?"

"Well, the main reason is that "Day of Reincarnation" is too popular, and we can't hide the IP competition."

Lin Yao said helplessly: "At this time, we need a shield to come out, we have to let others know why we talk about so many IPs, right?"

Wang Mang: "..."

…

May 3rd.

New month.

"Day of Reincarnation" is still killing people...

All the details of the linkage activities have been figured out.

Even some sand sculpture players have sorted out all the characters and their lines in the two newly added limited-time card pools.

What situation will trigger what lines.

How to trigger the desired line...

Players have even done this.

For them, the new version can be said to have no secrets.

But players still haven’t lost interest in the game.

On the contrary, because a lot of two-dimensional players have been added.

The second creation began to produce in batches...

Quantitative change causes qualitative change.

Everyone wants to see it.

Some big touches began to enter the field, producing more excellent second creations.

And the excellent second creation has attracted more interested players...

directly forms a cycle.

And the final result of this is that there are more and more players in "Day of Reincarnation"... This game can now be called the leader in the mobile game industry.

Futurestore is a platform.

The number of downloads and comments of "Samsara Day" is four times that of "Tianhu Travels Mobile Game Edition"...

This is not considered Jiaming Alliance.

After Linmu Studio bypasses the restrictions, Jiaming Alliance users can also download games by themselves.

Such a grand event.

Who still can't see the benefits of linking games and comics?

So soon.

After Tianhu, another group of colleagues went to discuss IP.

And fish and dragons are mixed together.

Linmu Studio not only talked about "Dark Engraving", but also started an IP licensing competition, and it was completely impossible to hide it.

Not long.

Someone broke the news.

And.

Because "The Day of Reincarnation" became popular during this period.

The major game media did not skimp on space at all, and directly started to write special books!

【The big fire "Day of Reincarnation" X "Dark Engraving" is not the end! ? Insiders broke the news that Linmu Studio is still negotiating IP licensing! It is reported that they still have authorizations for works such as "Useless Brave" and "Old Testament God" in their hands! 】

【There are also linkage activities? Lin Mu Studio was exposed and still held many copyrights! 】

【The purpose of Linmu Studio? The beginning of a new era? 】

【…】

Many related inquiries began to bombard.

soon.

As a player, everyone knows that Linmu Studio still holds a lot of copyrights.

Players are also excited.

One after another began to speculate.

What will Linmu Studio do next?

For example, the game circle and the major special areas.

"Fuck!? Talking about so many IPs? What does Linmu Studio want to do? Engage in an IP arms race, right? Do you want to unify the card game market? Kill all your peers?"

"Probably not. I heard that these licensing agreements do not have exclusivity clauses. Although the specific details have not been disclosed, I heard that the people who broke the news were all colleagues from Linmu Studio, and they also heard from the copyright owner.

But they can still talk about the IP licensed by Linmu Studio..."

"Could it be that there will be a mobile game linkage event? What comics will be linked with next? "Useless Brave"? I'm getting excited!!"

"Isn't it? Damn, although I don't know the exact number, there are only four works that have been released! ... I suspect that Lin Yao wants to make a big deal!"

"I think so, but what kind of flower work is it? Do you have any clues?"

“Like making a game with all the well-known characters?”

"Damn it! Did you confirm it upstairs? Really? How awesome it would be!"

"Stop dreaming, and accommodate all well-known characters... This is too difficult, impossible, how to do with so many characters? You have to know that this time "Day of Reincarnation" is only linked with one work!

Let’s just say that, if you really want to make such a work, what kind of work should you do? "

"That's right, it can't be done, don't dream upstairs. I think it's a mobile game with linkage! I want to see "Jingse" in the game! Linmu Studio! Give me some strength!"

"..."

Players have various opinions and expectations.

but.

Probably because of the influence of "Day of Reincarnation".

Ninety percent of the players feel that Linmu Studio's move is to continue to engage in linkage activities.

And colleagues in Linmu Studio are of course paying attention.

They also think that there are linkage activities.

But as insiders, they also know that the number of IPs is a bit exaggerated. There are still four or five IPs? Is this planned to be linked once a month?

You must know that Linmu Studio only operates two mobile games.

And there is only one card drawing mobile game!

so.

Most of the colleagues are a little suspicious.

Because I don't know what Linmu Studio wants to do, I am more interested in what Linmu Studio is going to do....

even.

Be bold.

I really think some players are right, Linmu Studio just wants to make a game that includes all the well-known characters!

but.

They have no proof!

And Linmu Studio has never come forward to explain.

Whether it is a colleague or a player, they can only guess wildly.
