Chapter 1050 Darkness Comes
"I'll be the host?!" Liu Dawei was very surprised, "But I've never done this kind of thing before. I'm a professional at typing code. I'm afraid I'm not very good at this."
"What happens once makes you familiar, how will you know if you are good at it if you don't try?"
Luo Quan persuaded with a smile: "And your studio will be separated from Blizzard Studio sooner or later. When the time comes, the three of you, as leaders, will definitely have the ability to take charge of your own affairs.
Just like Li Jiang now, when there are major updates in those games, isn't he the one who shoots videos to announce them to the players? You can't let me do everything in the future, right? "
"That's true." Liu Dawei nodded. There were so many things in the company, and it really wasn't appropriate to bother the boss with everything.
Anyway, the copywriting and everything has been written, so I only have two days to prepare, plus it’s a recording and broadcasting, so I don’t have to worry too much.
After convincing Dawei, Luo Quan turned on the computer and wanted to see the stock price trend of station B.
After the market opened yesterday, Bilibili's stock price experienced a short-term decline, which may have been caused by low-price selling by foreign investors who did not know the truth.
However, within half an hour, the stock price began to soar rapidly. By the close of trading, the stock price had increased by 12%, creating the largest increase in the past six months!
Unlike the domestic stock market, there is no limit to the rise of U.S. stocks.
If a domestic stock rises by 10% in a single day, it will trigger the daily limit, and it will not rise again.
The U.S. stock market is very free. As long as the momentum is good, the stock can keep rising.
The stock with the highest single-day increase in history reached 76%, nearly doubling.
So the 12% figure at Station B seems to be an exaggeration, but there is still room for growth.
When the market opens in the evening, the stock will definitely continue to rise, and breaking the newly created record of 12% should be a high probability event.
And this time the stock surged, Luo Quan's fans contributed a lot of capital.
In fact, they don’t know much about stocks, and they don’t like Bilibili to the extent that they buy stocks without thinking.
But they believed in Luo Quan and knew that this human koi's investment always made more and lost less.
You may not be unlucky if you go against her, but you will definitely be lucky if you follow her.
There have been N cases proving this point of view before.
Anyway, the guys who claimed yesterday that they were going to increase leverage to buy Bilibili stocks are now popping the champagne. The huge pots of money are not enough to describe the money these lunatics made after winning the bet.
No one knows how long this level of increase can last, but Luo Quan said that welfare distribution will continue for seven days, so it must be safe within these seven days.
As a result, more and more retail investors poured in.
As for those big capital investors, they immediately invested in the company after hearing that Luo Quan accepted it.
They don't believe in good luck or koi. They only know that Luo Quan has abundant funds and holds a large number of exclusive film and television resources.
For a video website, exclusive resources are equal to the number of users.
With the number of users, are you still worried about not making money?
Therefore, from a profit perspective, the current stock of Bilibili is definitely worth buying.
It was in this optimistic environment that Station B opened in the evening and completed a 12% increase in less than four hours, surpassing the record just set yesterday.
At this time, Cheng Rui, who had not yet slept, looked at the stocks that were doing well and had mixed feelings in his heart.
Since the beginning of last year, Bilibili’s stock has never looked so good, falling to varying degrees almost every day.
It's ironic to say that he has tried countless methods over the past year but failed to save Bilibili's stock price. Even users are scolding him.
And I just sold Station B, and everything got better instantly.
Looking at it this way, I, the former president, really failed.
After sighing with emotion, he put down his phone and prepared to rest.
After resigning as president, it is not without its benefits. At least the work and rest are no longer as irregular as before.
No matter what dreams, careers, and struggles, in the end, your body is the most important thing. You can't treat anyone badly...
December 26, 2020 in the lunar calendar is a day that will be remembered by all domestic mobile games.
Because darkness has fallen.
After today, the days when you can easily harvest leeks with a few deceptive CGs and some skin-changing elements will be gone forever.
At noon, Luo Quan started the live broadcast as usual.
Today, Bilibili closed successfully with a 17% increase, and its market value has returned to 20 billion, which is gratifying.
However, there is nothing to be happy about for Luo Quan. After all, the stock price of station B at its peak was more than three times this.
No performance is worthy of popping the champagne before returning to the top.
"Bright Sword and Wulin Gaiden have been launched on Station B, and non-members can watch five episodes."
Luo Quan rubbed his hands and began to clear his throat: "Ahem, what I want to announce next is the third gift.
The two-dimensional mobile game "Genshin Impact" developed by Miha Studio has entered the testing stage. The promotional CG will be released later. Tomorrow, the developer will introduce the features and gameplay of this game in detail.
The A-test will be held in a week, and everyone can sign up now. "
This time, it’s the game fans’ turn to get excited:
"Is this the two-dimensional mobile game I mentioned before?"
"I have no interest in card-drawing krypton gold games and I don't know how to play them. But if it is developed by Luo Bao's company, you can pay attention to it."
"It doesn't matter whether I draw cards or not, as long as it's fun, I'm a leopard-headed zero charge anyway!"
"Haha, if you really fall into the trap, it won't be up to you whether you charge it or not."
"I just want to know if there are many pretty girls in this game?"
"It would be great if the painting style could reach the level of Azur Lane."
"Hehe, that's a pretty thought."
………………
Of course, the most important element of a two-dimensional game is to be charming.
No matter it is a homeboy or a homegirl, only by pleasing him/them can they be willing to pay.
As we all know, GHS is the primary productive force, so female characters with good looks and sexy clothes are always a weapon for harvesting money.
Luo Quan couldn't guarantee anything else, but after getting the privilege from Director He, she personally assured the artists at Miha Studio that she could be a little bolder when designing characters.
After watching the finished product, Luo Quan was quite satisfied. A house with a normal orientation would definitely not be able to refuse these female characters with good looks and good figures.
Not long after it was announced here in Luoquan, the first PV of "Genshin Impact" - "Stranger Who Catches the Wind" was released.
Countless fans of two-dimensional games who were looking forward to it clicked on the video. The first thing they saw was darkness, and then there was an urgent and girlish call.
"Hey, wake up!"
The protagonist opened his eyes and saw a young man with yellow hair and strange clothes.
He was lying on the beach, with a white emergency food floating in front of him with a halo on his head.
As the screen flashed, the two of them were standing on a hillside. The camera zoomed out, and the vast, mysterious and beautiful world of Teyvat came into view.
So far, this CG has not shown anything outstanding.
Mobile game CGs from other major manufacturers are much more gorgeous than this one. In comparison, Genshin Impact’s CGs seem to have insufficient funds and are not particularly outstanding.
There are only a few people who think this way until they see the line of words in the lower right corner of the video: Game Engine Recording.
The barrage started to break out at this moment:
"Holy crap, are these all pictures from the game?"
"You told me this is a mobile game?!"
"Are you kidding? Which mobile game map can be so big, and look at this posture, it is still a seamless large map!"
"If this were the picture in the game, I would live broadcast eating it!"
"No wonder you dare to call it an open world. It does have something to it."
"Can you really carry a mobile phone?"
"Based on the standards of mobile game CG, the quality of this video is average.
Evaluated by the standards of domestic mobile games, this mobile game belongs to the level of dimension reduction attack! "
"I looked at the paper man on my phone and fell into deep thought."
"This is true. I'm shocked. What mobile game can reach this level!"
……………………
Good things come from comparison.
Genshin Impact's CG is not worth mentioning compared to the fancy melody special effects of other mobile CGs, but with the addition of a game recording, the quality instantly rises to several levels.
Similarly, the open world of Genshin Impact is actually quite different from the 3A masterpieces on the computer.
But if you compare it with mobile games, the two are completely different from each other.
Imagine how awesome it would be if you could shrink games like Final Fantasy and Red Dead Redemption onto your mobile phone to play them?
This is what Genshin does.
Of course, limited by the performance of the mobile phone, the picture quality must be castrated.
But no matter what, this represents a milestone and the arrival of a new era!
Of course, for other two-dimensional mobile games, this is a truly dark reward.
When Genshin Impact is officially launched, it will not be so easy to happily cut leeks as before.
Players' tastes will become more and more sophisticated, and ordinary reskinned mobile games will become increasingly difficult to survive against the backdrop of their peers.
Don't think this is sensational, because the domestic market is only so big. When a giant starts to siphon, it will be difficult for other shrimps to have a place.
What's even more uncomfortable is that they can't seem to do anything except watch this scene happen.
If it is a fledgling studio, or a small factory without any backing, then you can also discredit the game by hiring watermen and leading the game.
If you can make its reputation become bad and make players boycott it, then it is still possible to cause it to die violently.
After all, the ability of small factories to resist risks is too low. It is estimated that they have spent all their money to develop such a game. If the revenue is not good after the server is launched, it will be a disaster.
Even if players later discover that its quality is actually okay, it will probably be too late to save it.
However, Genshin Impact’s R&D company is not a small factory.
Although Unreal Studio is said to be a studio, it is backed by Quanshui Entertainment.
This company's turnover exceeded 10 billion last year and it has cooperated with many large international companies.
If we ask the navy to fight each other, they may not be able to fight against each other.
But if we really let it go and let it grow, wouldn't we just watch the market being occupied bit by bit by this game?
There is no charity at all in commercial wars. Within the same category, you will either die or I will live.
The rise of one game means the decline of another old game, and there has never been an exception.
What worries this game manufacturer even more is that the boss of Genshin Impact developer has just acquired Bilibili.
Where is Station B? This is the largest two-dimensional gathering place in China, and it is also the place where most two-dimensional mobile games are announced.
If a two-dimensional mobile game wants to be popular, it is absolutely impossible to bypass Station B.
And with the resources of Station B, Genshin Impact will definitely gain huge popularity in a short period of time, because here are all the players who like this genre the most.
The game and Bilibili are both self-produced, so even advertising costs are saved. Hot searches are arranged every day. The quality of the game is so explosive. What kind of grand event will it be after the server is launched?
Manufacturers feel their scalps go numb just thinking about it.
At this moment, even though they knew that Genshen had a backer, someone still decided to take action.
Soon, just as the entire Internet was having heated discussions about Genshin Impact's amazing CG, voices accusing it of plagiarism began to spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
"Don't you think this style of painting looks like Zelda?"
"Indeed, I would have thought it was just a game if you didn't tell me."
"What a strong sense of déjà vu. Isn't this grassland and this color plagiarism?"
"I was originally very happy that a masterpiece was released in China, but now I am really disappointed."
………………
Similar voices of plagiarism emerged one after another, and soon caused an uproar on the Internet.
Countless people became angry, saying, isn’t this Zelda? Isn’t this just blatant plagiarism?
Similar comments have appeared on Weibo, Bilibili, Tieba, Zhihu, and all game-related media.
The good news is that the media is only reporting online accusations, and no one dares to make a final conclusion yet, which also means that the guidance of public opinion has not reached a particularly bad point.
The most important thing is that the boss of Genshen is a "female tyrannosaurus" who can't tolerate any sand in her eyes... No, she should be called the female war goddess.
Luo Quan guessed that there would be plagiarism sounds. If this game went smoothly from the preview to the public beta, she would be sad because the popularity would not meet expectations.
There is traffic only when there is controversy.
But this does not mean that she will pretend to be deaf and mute and allow public opinion to be manipulated.
In the evening, she continued the live broadcast, and then publicly said in the live broadcast room:
"Those who say Genshin Impact is plagiarized, please come to the live broadcast room and tell me where the plagiarism occurred. I have a private beta account and can play it directly for you to see!"
This domineering speech boosted the morale of fans who had been frustrated all afternoon.
Luo Quan is indeed still the same Luo Quan, and he never waits until the next day for any grievances he may have.
And slapping her in the face is one of the things she is best at.
