Chapter 41 Free to play
"Watching your performance?" Jiang Qiuxu looked him up and down.
"I just like your skeptical attitude." Fang Qi said and asked, "The live broadcast room promotion that Qin Zhiyou promised has not been fulfilled, right?"
"Yeah." Jiang Qiuxu nodded. Although the hired anchors have been in place for a long time, the new project has not been launched yet. The anchors can only play "Tricky Neighbors" and "Naughty Kitchen" back and forth. They are almost throwing up. This situation , naturally there is no need to waste promotion resources.
Fang Qi said his plan: "Okay, let the anchor rest these few days, I will go back and prepare a few promotional videos, and play them repeatedly in the live broadcast room, and let Qin Zhiyou provide some traffic, not too much.
Wait until next week, let the anchor try it out in the live broadcast room, arrange advertising and media releases, and spend all the publicity budget. "
"Okay." At this point, Jiang Qiuxu chose to completely trust Fang Qi's judgment and give it a go.
The actual machine demonstration and character introductions have been prepared for a long time, and it won’t take long to cut a promotional video, one day is enough.
The next day, all the anchors of Star Interactive Entertainment’s exclusive live broadcast room were offline, and the promotional video began to be played repeatedly.
Although the popularity is not high, there are still people squatting in the live broadcast room on weekdays. The sudden online promotional video exploded a small group of fans.
"Wow wow wow, what did I see? The promotional video for the new project is out!"
"There was no sound at all before, and a big one happened quietly."
In the picture, handsome and beautiful characters are facing countless monsters, using unprecedented gorgeous skills to shuttle and harvest among the monsters, and finally face the powerful boss.
In the first round of attacks, the attacks of all the characters were repulsed by the boss. Everyone got up from the ground in disgrace, looked at each other, and still had high morale, and rushed towards the boss together again.
At this time, the screen changed, the boss had fallen, and a cool big treasure box stood in front of him like a hill. Each character suddenly had peach blossom eyes, starry eyes, and some even danced.
The little thief couldn't hold himself back, so he went up and fiddled with it for a while, and finally opened the lock. Just when he turned around and gestured "ok" to the others, the treasure box suddenly popped open, and countless gold coins and treasures fell from the sky like a volcano erupting, drowning all the characters. There was only a golden patch left on the screen.
After a while, the characters emerged from the sea of gold coins one by one, looking brand new. The old tattered equipment disappeared. They were happily playing with the new equipment and weapons. The gunner girl held her new pistol and "chirped" mwah.
By the end of this video, the eye-catching fonts come into view.
"Crazy Dungeon", Star Interactive Entertainment's new masterpiece, is free to play, see you there!
A short video with a lot of information.
"Watch it again, watch it again, it's so fun!"
"There are so many professions. I want to play with dual guns. It's so cool."
""Crazy Dungeon" is about fighting in an underground scene. I feel that the overall style and color scheme are very comfortable. The actual environment in the promotional video is not too dark. The monsters look very fierce without feeling bloody and scary."
"Has no one noticed the words 'play for free'? What does it mean?"
"Free trial?"
“It’s probably going to be a free trial period for everyone before they decide whether to buy it or not.”
Not long after the promotional video was played on a loop, the fun-loving community began to give feedback. Naturally, Qin Zhiyou would not regret this small matter.
Originally, there was no need for Qin Zhiyou to intervene in this trivial matter. The staff of the two companies contacted each other and took care of the matter. However, he has been relatively free recently. Hearing that Star Interactive Entertainment was about to launch a new project, he couldn't help but want to come. Take a many players, he was deeply attracted after watching the first promotional video. Whether it is the story background or character design, "Crazy Dungeon" is unique in the current market. As for the gameplay content, it is currently only You can guess it from the promotional video, but no matter how you guess it, it is very attractive.
"Free to play, what do you mean?"
Qin Zhiyou was also puzzled by this. He pondered for a long time, and when he was puzzled, he suddenly realized that he was different from the audience in the live broadcast room. They could only guess, but he could ask!
"I'm so stupid." Qin Zhiyou opened his bracelet, found Jiang Qiuxu's contact information, and sent a message, "Mr. Jiang, I watched the promotional video for your new project. How much is the price of "Crazy Dungeon"? Is it free to play? What's the meaning?"
In the office, Fang Zezheng and Jiang Qiuxu discussed the next publicity plan.
After receiving the news, Jiang Qiuxu looked at it and looked up to find Fang Qi's eyes drifting this way, trying to take a few glances. She said funnyly: "Qin Zhiyou, what does it mean to play for free?"
When Fang Qi heard this, he immediately said: "He wants to know, but I won't tell him!"
"You're not naive." Jiang Qiuxu rolled his eyes at him and replied to Qin Zhiyou, "It's just free play."
"I guess his brain must be down now." Seeing her reply, Fang Qi muttered beside him, "When he comes back to his senses, we can see whether he is smart or not."
Jiang Qiuxu looked at him: "You mean, can Qin Zhiyou analyze our profit model?"
Fang Qi pouted: "More than that, after guessing it, there is an opportunity in front of him. It depends on whether he can grasp it."
Jiang Qiuxu thought about it for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "Exclusive?"
After that, she analyzed: “As the first free game on the market, coupled with our good reputation in the past, we will definitely attract a large number of players to try the game.
Exclusively owning "Crazy Dungeon" will inevitably bring a large number of users from other platforms to register here. Attracting these users will not be a loss to the IW platform. If the game becomes popular, other platforms will completely lose the opportunity to compete with the IW platform! "
Fang Qi took over what she said: "That's right, and it has a lot of benefits for us. It's troublesome to operate multiple channels. It's better to just have one server. And after the IW platform is exclusive, it will be vigorously promoted. Won't we save money? , not only save money, but also make money from exclusive fees.”
Jiang Qiuxu thought about it and thought it made sense.
Qin Zhiyou, who is being plotted by the two, is indeed a little confused at the moment. The game is free?Impossible, are you kidding? What are you trying to do?Sacrifice your ego just to benefit millions of players?
Qin Zhiyou was not stupid, so how could he believe that if the game was free, there must be other ways to make money.
Advertising in the game?Qin Zhiyou feels outrageous just thinking about it, but he can generally guess that the profit point will still be in the game, such as selling game props, but does this really make money?
Qin Zhiyou wanted to ask more clearly. When entering the information, he vaguely felt that he had overlooked something important. What was it?
There was a knot in his heart, and he was no longer in a hurry to send a message. He had to first understand what little idea had slipped through his mind at that moment. He couldn't let it go and had to catch this little tail.
Stand and think, squat and think, lie down and think...
"Mr. Qin." At this time, an assistant came in to report on the work, "The exclusivity of the new project of Dream Building Studio has not been negotiated."
Qin Zhiyou suddenly realized and jumped up: "Yes, exclusive!"
