Chapter 570 Are You Good at Photography? (4000 Words, Two-in-One)

At the end of September, the hot summer is gradually passing, and it is the time of autumn.

October in Hangzhou is not too hot, nor too cold, and the temperature is just right.

That is, during the holidays, King of Glory is about to be launched.

Mihuyou specially chose such a good day in early October, hoping that King of Glory will have a good omen.

In these days, Mihuyou has stepped up its efforts to promote King of Glory, but Ye Ge's promotion method is not the kind of random spending without reason.

Spending money will only waste your funds.

Besides, Mihuyou now has so much money to spend.

Even when you over-promote, people will only feel disgust and aversion to you.

Promoting this kind of thing, just stop at the right time.

People who are interested will naturally click in with interest, and those who are not interested, the more you promote, the more they will resist.

People originally have no good or bad feelings towards you.

In the end, people may even turn against you because of your constant promotion.

Seeing the video about King of Glory, I am afraid that I will spit at you.

In the past life, many games are such living examples.

Many games spent so much money on promotion, and these games can be seen in various software. Even if you just clicked it slightly, you didn’t confirm to download this game, and it was directly downloaded to you.

And such games are often difficult to achieve good development in the end.

Even when you don’t achieve good development, you will become a laughing stock. For example, the R&D cost is 1 billion, but the promotion cost accounts for 990 million.

Mihuyou’s basic market for promoting King of Glory is still on Bilibili.

First, Ye Ge talked to some up masters in the game area, allowing them to try this game, and said some good things, pretending that these up masters did not receive money.

This routine is actually very common after a few years.

Especially after 20 years.

Basically, many game manufacturers will use this method to form tap water, using the fans of the up masters to drive the fans of the game.

But now the Internet has just begun, and mobile games have just started, so Ye Ge's method is still rare.

Even if others know that this UP host may have received money, they will not say anything, because the content they make is indeed very interesting.

This is in terms of game content.

In addition, there are many attractive female characters in Honor of Kings.

So Ye Ge invited some UP hosts and some Cosers in the dance area of ​​​​B station to produce some characters in Honor of Kings, specifically to attract male players.

In fact, it is not just male players.

Women are actually very shy, and girls are actually interested in some beautiful and sexy COS.

When the characters in Honor of Kings appear in front of everyone, if someone is emotional, they will realize this game through this character.

In general, most people will still choose to play.

Not to mention, this method is really useful.

Players who click in from the dance area and coser to make reservations for the game account for 30% of the total number of players.

However, in the hearts of many people, there is indeed a natural resistance to this game.

After all, this is a game that follows the trend of League of Legends, and it is played on mobile phones, so this game is jokingly called "rubbing glass"...

In addition, some peers also attacked this game of Mihoyo.

If peers just say the shortcomings of this game normally, then Ye Ge is fine.

After all, which game has no shortcomings?

If you let others not say anything at all, and all the good reviews are good, then it must be wrong.

And accepting criticism appropriately can also leave a lot of good impressions in the hearts of players.

However, some media that review games actually exaggerate and deliberately smear, then Ye Ge can't stand it.

Ye Ge can only treat others in their own way.

Whose game is perfect?

You find some shortcomings in my game, can't I find shortcomings in your game?

Of course, there are still very few companies like this, mainly because the boss behind Mihoyo is also the boss of Bilibili.

And Bilibili has now become the largest two-dimensional video platform in China.

Not only is it the largest ACG platform, Bilibili has become one of the websites with the largest traffic, and it even has the momentum to be the first.

You should know that in addition to ACG, Bilibili also has game areas, live broadcast areas, knowledge areas, etc.

Various up masters support a large video library.

Moreover, Bilibili's incentive plan has injected a lot of vitality into each UP.

With the incentive of Bilibili, each UP has a strong subjective initiative, not just for love.

With so many high-quality content as support.

It can be said that even if you are not interested in ACG, you may download Bilibili.

Moreover, games are mostly for young people.

For many game companies, they will definitely not be able to avoid Bilibili if they want to promote their games in the future.

Therefore, most people are still unwilling to offend Mihuyou.

Not to mention that in most people's opinion, the backer behind Mihuyou is still Xuetang Group.

Mihuyou's boss Ye Ge is entangled with Xuetang Group's daughter Tang Zhiyan, which is also a hot topic on the Internet.

Generally speaking, when it comes to this kind of scandal, Xuetang Group will definitely issue an announcement to explain, and even pursue the other party's legal responsibility.

As a result, Xuetang Group did not clarify this matter.

Xuetang Group's failure to clarify this matter explains everything.

It shows that the two people may really have some relationship!

In addition to Xuetang Group, Penguin has already invested in Bilibili and become one of Bilibili's major shareholders.

That's right, Penguin wanted to invest in Mihuyou several times, but was politely rejected by Ye Ge.

This is not to say that Ye Ge does not believe in Penguin. In fact, Penguin Investment is really the conscience of the industry in a sense.

Generally speaking, Penguin will only invest money in you. As long as you don't have any major problems, Penguin will not interfere with your operations at all.

And the resources behind Penguin are huge, and there can be a lot of help.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, few people would refuse Penguin's investment.

The main reason is that Mihuyou's pie will get bigger and bigger, and Ye Ge believes that the games he makes in the future will be more popular than the last one.

So if Mihuyou is divided into shares now, won't he make less money?

So now Ye Ge is like a scumbag, always hanging on Penguin, neither refusing nor accepting.

In fact, Ye Ge wants to set up a subsidiary company at that time.

Then this subsidiary company specializes in the development of large-scale 3A games.

If Penguin wants to invest at that time, he will not refuse, after all, Penguin not only has funds.

Penguin is very good at optimizing games.

And in 2022, Unreal Engine 5 came out. Few people can play it well, but Penguin can.

Of course, as to whether to wait until Unreal Engine 5 comes out before making Black Myth, this has not been determined.

The main reason is that Unreal Engine 5 takes too long to come out, and I can't wait. When it comes to 2016 or 2017, there are other engines to use.

"Ye Ge, what do you think of me?"

Three days before the public beta of Honor of Kings, Yuan Guoxue put the documents in her hand on Ye Ge's desk and looked at Ye Ge.

Ye Ge was stunned for a moment, looking at the naive person in front of him: "What do you mean by 'what do you think of you'?"

"What do you think of me?"

Yuan Guoxue put her hands on her hips, raised her proud chin, and even turned around with a "dangdangdang" sound.

Ye Ge suddenly "suddenly realized": "Oh, your new clothes are very good, very suitable for you, very discerning, very beautiful."

"I'm not talking about this." Yuan Guoxue pouted, "Besides, I wore this set of clothes last week, okay? I'm talking about what do you think of me as a person?"

Ye Ge: "."

Ye Ge didn't know what was wrong with Yuan Guoxue's brain.

But Ye Ge thought about it and praised her seriously: "I think you are a very good girl, beautiful, good figure, good personality, strong working ability, and your children will never go hungry. No matter who marries you, it is definitely a blessing from the previous life."

"Who told you to say this?" Yuan Guoxue blushed and glared at Ye Ge.

"Then what are you talking about?" Ye Ge was helpless. Didn't you ask me?

Yuan Guoxue pouted: "I mean, you let so many cosplayers play the role of the game King of Glory, why don't you invite me? Do you look down on me? I am also an old coser, okay!"

As she said, Yuan Guoxue hummed and inserted her hands.

"..." Ye Ge was speechless, "Just because of this?"

"Hey! What do you mean by 'just because of this'? I really care about it!"

"Okay, okay." Ye Ge waved his hand, not knowing why he cared about this kind of thing, "It's mainly because you are too busy at work, how can I bother you to COS again?"

"This is different!"

Others went over and put their hands on the table, leaning over to look at Ye Ge.

Ye Ge raised his head and saw the snow-white canyon.

If it was before, Ye Ge would have retracted his gaze.

But now Ye Ge is already looking at it without any scruples.

"What's different?"

Ye Ge took a sip of water, his eyes were very serious.

"COS is not a job for me, but a hobby. COS is a kind of relaxation for me. I haven't COSed for a long time.

I think there are many characters in our new game that are suitable for me, such as Ji Xiaoman.

I think my COS must be better than others!"

"Okay then." Ye Ge nodded, "Then I will find a few makeup artists and female photographers, and then you can play one or two roles. Remember, the characters you choose cannot be too exposed."

"What? If I am seen by others, will you be jealous?" Yuan Guoxue looked at Ye Ge with a smirk, feeling that Ye Ge was still a little cute when he was jealous.

"That's for sure." Ye Ge nodded seriously, "You are my secretary, how could I let others see you? If anyone wants to see you, only I can see it."

"What are you talking about? I'm not your girlfriend..."

Originally, she wanted to tease Ye Ge, but she didn't expect Ye Ge to be so direct. Yuan Guoxue blushed right down to her ears.

Yuan Guoxue reached out and tucked the hair behind her ears: "But since you said so, I'll just COS something with more clothes. Don't worry, no one can take advantage of me."

Ye Ge believed what Yuan Guoxue said.

In fact, even if Yuan Guoxue produces COS, she never produces those with less fabric.

Even if Yuan Guoxue will produce some COS with less fabric, then this kind of COS is basically worn at home.

In the past, Yuan Guoxue's COS characters with less fabric, such as Icarus, were all shown to her at home.

To put it simply, it is self-pleasure.

But after meeting Ye Ge, the COS produced by Yuan Guoxue was shown to Ye Ge, for example, in the office.

Yuan Guoxue often locked the door and started changing clothes.

From that time on, Ye Ge always had one head and two heads. He had to hold a cup of herbal tea every day, otherwise he would not be able to suppress his anger.

And even if he chooses a photographer, Yuan Guoxue will basically choose a female photographer, and it is impossible to choose a male photographer.

I heard Yuan Guoxue say that she used to have a female photographer who specially asked her to take pictures.

"By the way, my friend, the one who often takes pictures for me, is too far away from me. In the past, she could take pictures for me, but now, she goes to college in Linhai, so you have to promise me something. thing."

"Tell me, what's going on?" Ye Ge asked.

"Then you will be my photographer~" Yuan Guoxue said with a smile, "How about it? Do you agree or not?"

"Of course there is nothing wrong with me, but how do you know that I have good photography skills?"

Ye Ge did learn some photography. That was because in his first life, Yan Cici liked to take pictures, so Ye Ge specially learned some photography to help Yan Cici produce films.

In his second life, Zhang Yan also liked taking pictures, so Ye Ge signed up for a photography class again and went to further his studies.

In Ye Ge's view, his photography skills cannot be said to be at the professional level. They are also top-notch among amateurs. Even a few years later, when Ye Ge went to a comic exhibition with a 30,000 yuan SLR, girls gathered around him. kind of.

"Are you good at photography? Are you really fake?" Yuan Guoxue blinked.

Ye Ge smiled: "You don't know if my photography skills are good, so just ask me to take pictures for you."

"Hmph, so what." Yuan Guoxue crossed her arms and raised her chin, "I am naturally beautiful. No matter how bad you are at taking photos, I am still good-looking."

"Okay, that's it." Yuan Guoxue took the documents and left, "I'll pick a place tomorrow, and you'll be on call at any time!"
