Vol 2 Chapter 272: All-star lineup

Chapter 272 All-Star Lineup

The voice of the players naturally reached the heaven, which attracted Cui Mingze's attention.

After much deliberation, Cui Ming proposed to Lin Feng to see if he could invite more stars to endorse Audition’s game characters. Of course, Cui Ming also knows that the difficulty is not small. The most important thing is the cost. Although the three girls, Li Zhiyou, Lin Zhihui, and Huang Meixi, are quite famous and well-known in the country, they are actually not very worthy. After all, the three have not yet released an album, nor have they. Participate in any TV series or movie performances, and the chief position is still a catwalk trader in various events. Besides, the three girls are the contracted spokespersons of Linfeng Company after all, so there is no need to consider the cost of their endorsements.

But if you invite other celebrities, they must be famous ones. After all, a celebrity who doesn't have enough reputation will not be able to pass the player level first, and if you invite it, you don't. But if you want to invite the emperor superstar, the endorsement fee in the middle is a tricky problem.

Lin Feng frowned. Among them, the cost was the key to restricting Cui Ming's good idea. Lin Feng looked at the crowd, and everyone thought it was a good idea, but the stars, especially the big stars, are worth a lot of money, and the profits of Audition may not be enough to pay for the eyes of these big stars.

Seeing everyone's expressions embarrassing, Cui Ming also knew that this was definitely not a scene, and he knew in his heart how difficult it was. When he proposed it at the moment, he was only doing his best and resigning himself to his fate. He would not be reconciled if he didn't raise it.

However, after Lin Feng pondered for a while, he gave an answer that surprised Cui Ming.

"Well, okay, let me solve the problem of inviting the stars." Lin Feng thought for a while, and already had an idea, "Minister Cui, you can post a poll on the official website for players to vote to see which celebrities want to invite to endorse the game characters. The game characters in Audition will all be composed of stars."

"But this way, the cost..." Cui Ming heard Lin Feng agree, not only was he unhappy, but he hesitated. Everyone was also at a loss.

As everyone thinks, although the prospects of the "Second World" are promising, the only profit points for the current profit point are Legend and Audition, and there will be a "Counter Strike Online Asia Edition" that will soon be charged. Counting the three games, Legendary’s net profit in January is 10 million US dollars, but Audition is only about 500,000 US dollars. "Counter Strike Online Asia Edition" is calculated based on the legendary profit. The combined monthly profit of the three games is more than 20 million US dollars. The US dollar seems to be a lot, but in reality, it may not even be able to guarantee the normal operation of the "Second World" in the next year.

As for the current financial situation of the "Second World", Wu Zhaopu is the one who knows the most and is most worried about.

"Dong Lin, although the'Second World' has 600 million U.S. dollars in working capital (Lin Feng invested 500 million, the original company owned 100 million), but the start-up capital for the development of the world war is 100 million U.S. dollars, and at least it will be invested in the next three years. 200-300 million U.S. dollars, Half-Life’s development fee is also between 40-50 million U.S. dollars, which has accounted for more than half of our company’s working capital, as well as the development of Jianxia Qingyuan online, and the second game department’s sports The development of leisure online games requires funds. What's more, we have to build a "Second World" building, which requires a lot of funds." Wu Zhaopu said worriedly.

Lin Feng is well aware of Wu Zhaopu's concerns. The development of World War and Half-Life 2 took up a lot of money, but it was urgent. This is one of the reasons why Lin Feng invested 500 million US dollars. But the most important reason for Lin Feng's capital injection is that the "Second World" now urgently needs to build its own building.

With the increase of the company’s employees, the continuous addition of servers, and the establishment of various game development departments, the current office buildings of the “Second World” have been stretched out, not to mention the company’s security, the protection of the “cloud computing” and the construction of its own The office building is even more urgent.

Wu Zhaopu's financial statements have even invested in the next year or even two years of revenue. Now Lin Feng suddenly decided to increase his budget, which really made Wu Zhaopu feel a little bit clever and unable to cook without rice.

"Relax, since we want to invite celebrities and let these beautiful players play the celebrity dressing game, naturally the money will be paid by them." Lin Feng was extremely cunning, even treacherously smiling.

Everyone felt a chill. When Lin Feng showed this smile, it means that the company will soon have a new idea to search for profits.

"Minister Cui, issued a notice that Audition will launch a new expansion pack of Audition Stars in the near future. All the characters in the game will be endorsed by stars." Lin Feng said. After some thoughts just now, Lin Feng has already thought about the first star candidate to sign, I believe he must be happy to sign, and Lin Feng believes that the effect he brings will definitely make his star endorsement game character plan a success. With his joining, Lin Feng believes that other stars will not hesitate too much.

Everyone kept silent, waiting for Lin Feng's post.

"Vice President Cui, Audition will make the following changes: each player can only have one character endorsed by a celebrity when entering the game. If you want to have other celebrity endorsement game characters, you must purchase the right to use the celebrity. In addition to general-purpose clothes, celebrities all have a variety of clothing with unique personal styles, and the clothes will not be universal." After Lin Feng finished speaking, everyone secretly said aloud.

In this way, these Audition players, in order to have more stars, will inevitably spend more money on the game. And Audition has a comparability that is far more serious than the real society. Those extremely beautiful clothes need money to buy, and they are not cheap. Imagine that suddenly there are a few or even more than a dozen celebrities, each with their own clothes, and the profits from this will surely be enough to cover the endorsement fees of these celebrities.

"Also, our goal is not only on those players, but also on advertisers. Stars enter the virtual world, and their advertising effects are equally huge, I believe this income will definitely satisfy us." Lin Feng said.

Everyone was stunned. Obviously, the advertising revenue in this area may not be less than the money of crazy players who are addicted to the gorgeous appearance of the game characters. But Wu Zhaopu had to worry about one thing.

"If celebrities endorse, will it involve the image right of the endorsement brand and its commercial interests? Will it lead to a lawsuit?" Wu Zhaopu is not worried. For example, Lin Feng invited Beckenham. In reality, Beckenham is Pepsi’s spokesperson. In case Coca-Cola bought the advertising rights for him in the game, before the game started, Beckenham held Coca-Cola, that Pepsi did not agree with Lin. It's strange that the wind is desperate!

Lin Feng frowned and thought for a while and said, "We can discuss this in detail in the future. As for the infringement in this regard, I will consult Ron Law Firm. Also, we are in China, and there is no such relevant law in China. The provisions of the law. There are no regulations in this area in the laws of various countries in the world." Lin Feng said cunningly.

Everyone thought, too. What's more, it's just such a proposal now. Whether it can be realized then depends on the price negotiated when signing the contract after contacting these celebrities. If the invited celebrity lion speaks loudly, then naturally there is no need to think about this plan. As for whether it is infringement, it is natural to ask a lawyer before choosing advertisers carefully.

Cui Ming sat down with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with today's meeting. Both of his suggestions were passed. He can expect that in the future, his first game development department will still be a very important department and profit point for the company.

"By the way, Minister Cui, you pay attention to the atmosphere of the game in Audition. Those who wantonly insult other players should never be merciless. You can take the punishment of screened speeches, delete accounts, or even block their IPs. In short, they must be severely punished. I don't want Audition to be criticized as a game for brain-disabled people." Lin Feng suddenly thought of the reason why Audition was most criticized, and reminded him.

"Yes, I will pay more attention." Cui Ming sweated on his forehead. Recently in Audition, players have really abused each other. He didn't care too much about it, thinking that this was just a dispute between players and it was not convenient for officials to intervene. But listening to Lin Fengyi said, this is indeed a big problem. After all, if the game is filled with more language to greet each other's maternal relatives all day, the impression of such a game must be very bad.

The future plan of the Second Development Department is still to focus on online swordsman love, and strive to complete it as soon as possible with quality and quantity.

Wu Gang of the Third Development Department will target sports and leisure online games. However, with the strength of the "Second World", the related engine technology is extremely lacking. Although the engine technology of Counter Strike is available, the sports game engine is completely different from the engines of other games. In this regard, Wu Gang can only slowly Think about it and study it slowly. As for the future, Lin Feng sees whether he can purchase the right to use its engines from the two bosses in the industry-"ea" and "konami".

The fourth development department, Minwu. Lee's main attack direction is still the world war, of course, taking into account the maintenance and improvement of counter-strike online.

"Dong Lin, I suggest globalizing Counter-Strike online. One is to expand the company's influence. I can add some maps and competition modes to it to completely replace the stand-alone version of Counter-Strike. The second is to experiment with the global interconnection of the World War." Minwu . Lee said.

Lin Feng was slightly surprised.

"Minwu, in this way, I am afraid that there will be no market for the stand-alone version of Counter-Strike." Lin Feng said.

"Haha, with Counter-Strike online, I don't think its stand-alone version is necessary anymore, not to mention that it can also bring continuous income to the company." Min Wu said with a smile. Although Counter-Strike was planned by him alone, when it was time to end, it should naturally end. Now Counter-Strike online can completely replace Counter-Strike, and it is more convenient to play online. What's more, if Minwu announces that it will no longer update Counter-Strike and recommends players to enter Counter-Strike online, from an authoritative point of view, it is conducive to the promotion of Counter-Strike online.

Lin Feng nodded.

But one person strongly opposed it.
