Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 603: Hands off the shopkeeper
Just when countless LOL players began to launch an all-out attack on the official.

Sun Ziwei has already put the drafted "World of Glory 2-in-1 Schedule", "Bei'an Global E-sports Development Outline", "Bei'an New Game Planning" and "Online Game Anti-invasion Planning" on Chen Mo's desk.
"After investigation, there are no technical problems in the Glory World. To avoid the discomfort caused by a one-size-fits-all approach, China Glory and Myth Glory will gradually add heroes that are more popular with players in the other team. The overall integration is expected to be completed by the end of June next year.

This e-sports development plan will allow us to catch up with the golden period of the summer season.”

Then, Sun Ziwei unfolded the blueprint of the new tour as if he were talking about his own treasures.

Within half an hour, five game projects with completely different styles slowly unfolded before Chen Mo's eyes.

After listening to Chen Mo, there are two games based on the Three Kingdoms theme, but they are of different types. One is similar to the later Three Kingdoms Fantasy Continent, which is a card turn-based battle;
Another game similar to the Three Kingdoms: Strategy Edition. Although the Three Kingdoms produced by Alibaba is already on the market, Bi'an has the experience of ancient wars. The Three Kingdoms War derived from it will surely lead the SLG strategy mobile game market in the next two to three years.

The third one is inspired by Tencent’s “Cross Fire” and “CS”, and is an FPS mobile game.

The fourth mobile game that combines the grind of Diablo III with the hack-and-slash style of Legends;

The last one is mahjong and chess and cards that cover various playing methods across the country, just like a mobile game version of the game lobby.

After listening to Sun Ziwei talking about these new games, Chen Mo did not open the drawer, which contained the chicken-eating plans he had written before, because he found that the current ones alone would be enough for the next one or two years, so there was no need to take out all of them, as there would be more than enough every year.

When turning to the "Online Game Anti-Invasion Plan", Sun Ziwei's speech speed increased significantly. In fact, this plan was not within the scope of the two's previous discussion. This unexpected proposal originated from a deep conversation with coach Lin Feng.

At that time, the other party reported that the mobile game screen was still too small, and it was just played on a flat surface. The game required precision and operation, and keyboard and mouse were still the only choice for professional players. Only the PC game could unleash the upper limit of game operation and excitement. Therefore, it was suggested that China Honor could launch a PC version.

Sun Ziwei did not respond on the spot, but just said he would think about it.

That night, according to Lin Feng's idea, he came up with a draft of the plan.
“.After coming back, I felt that players should not be asked to make choices, so I planned to make the mobile game of Beyond the Clouds an online game, and the graphics of the PC game could also bring out the full power of our game engine.

The final effect is that players can choose whether to play the game on the other side through computers or mobile phones. This will help cultivate a group of players and help seize the other side's market. At the same time, the competition will be more exciting, which will also have a strong promoting effect on the development of e-sports leagues."

Chen Mo only asked the questions that concerned him. "There is no problem in converting mobile games to online games, but we must also follow the 80/20 rule. Don't transplant all of them. Analyze the projects and invest % of the resources in the selected % of the projects. Focus on polishing the top products and use simulators for the rest."

"Yeah, that's what I planned."

“What about the budget?”

"The overall budget for e-sports development, mobile game online gaming, and new game development is expected to be around 10 billion yuan. By then, specific data will be provided after each project is evaluated."

"What's the timing?"

"With the development of e-sports and the onlineization of mobile games, new games will be launched throughout the whole of next year before the end of June next year."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. "Good fellow, you haven't even finished this year yet, and you've already fully arranged your KPI for next year. This is not a small project."

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war." Sun Ziwei said with a smile, "But I have a strong army and high efficiency now. There are still 8 and a half months left, which is enough."

"Please note that we can work overtime occasionally or rush to launch urgent projects, but we should not make overtime a normal practice. If we don't have enough people, we can recruit more people and grasp the slackness."

"Even if you don't tell me, the union will remind me. This is a matter of principle. I understand."

"Then I'll wait for you to bloom and bear fruit in the second half of next year!"

"Don't talk about you. When I told my core members about the plan we discussed earlier, everyone was looking forward to it."

"Okay, go for it. I'm actually more looking forward to what the entire Chinese game market will look like next year. By the way, have you read Fujii's statement?"

When Sun Ziwei mentioned this, he couldn't stop smiling. "I had planned to announce it recently, but now someone has given me a ladder, so why not come down? I guess Brother Ma will be very angry again."
In the end, Uzi sold for 800 million and Gogoing sold for 300 million. If it weren’t for the other party’s poor commercialization,

Chen Mo waved his hand to interrupt, not caring at all, "Don't tell me about this little thing. Brother Xiao Ma probably doesn't have time to worry about it. There are other things that give him a headache. Is China Glory ready to accept these players moving away?"

"If I can't handle this little thing, then it's a waste of time to follow you for so long~ I'm out of here!"

Sun Ziwei waved his hand, walked out with a confident step, looked up to the sky and laughed.

After he came out and saw Chen Tong, the smile on his face became a little awkward. After all, they had agreed to stay inside for an hour, and now it was almost half an hour past that time, making Brother Chen Tong wait for a long time.

"Mr. Chen, my my, I'll treat you some other day~~"

"You kid, I've waited for you four times~" Chen Tong was speechless and pointed at the other party.

"I'll make it up to you once I get a chance. See you later!" Sun Ziwei laughed and fled from the battlefield with a flash and sprint.

Chen Tong smiled and pushed the door open.

"What are you so happy about?" Chen Mo asked, looking up.

"I have an idea I want to report to you." Chen Tong went straight to the point, "I suggest that we form a top domestic screenwriter team within Bi'an Film and Television."

"Tell me your reasons."

Chen Tong flipped open the tablet in his hand and called up the prepared data: "Recently, we have conducted a systematic analysis of online public opinion and found that in the audience's evaluation of the film, television and animation we produced and invested in, although the story is generally acceptable, compared with our outstanding special effects, fighting scenes, art style and music, the quality of the script has become the weakest link." As he spoke, he handed over a detailed plan: "This is the "Other Shore Screenwriter Team Plan" I drafted, and I need your approval."

Chen Mo took the document and what caught his eye was the eye-catching title: "The "Screenwriter Team" Plan of the Other Shore Films."

He read carefully:
Industry pain points:
1. Screenwriters have a relatively low status in the film and television industry chain and are often interfered with by factors such as capital, directors, and actors, resulting in a decline in story quality.

2. Excellent screenwriters lack the right to speak, and scripts are often modified at will, affecting the final presentation of the work.

3. The market lacks a truly "story-centric" creative mechanism, and traffic-oriented orientation has led to serious script homogeneity.

Strategic Vision:

1. Gather the industry's top screenwriters to form a stable, high-quality content production system;

2. Make the screenwriter one of the core decision makers of the film and television project. The screenwriter is responsible for the story, and the director is responsible for directing, ensuring that the story is not tampered with.

3. Let excellent screenwriter teams optimize existing scripts, improve the upper limit of works, set a benchmark of "story is king", and build an insurmountable moat for the subsequent other side content ecological strategy.

Specific method:

Recruitment of the first batch of editors (5~8 people): There must be at least one recognized "masterpiece" (such as Douban 8.5+ or market phenomenon-level work).

Cover different genres (history, war, suspense, urban, comedy, etc.) to ensure a diverse team.

List of members to be recruited:
Liu Heping, whose representative works include "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and "All Quiet in Peking", is good at historical dramas;

Lan Xiaolong, representative works include "Soldier Assault" and "Battle of Changsha", good at war/human nature;
He Qingkui is the screenwriter of Benshan's sketches. His representative works include the "Selling Crutch" trilogy, "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow", and the film and television drama "Liu Laogen". He is good at comedy.

Guarantee mechanism: Provide industry-leading remuneration + long-term cooperation profit sharing to increase the interests of top screenwriters;

Script reshaping mechanism: Launch the "Script Hospital" mode for existing scripts, and the screenwriter team will conduct "consultation and optimization";
Internal resource classification system:
A-level projects (key IP/big productions): 2-3 top screenwriters will combine their expertise to jointly reshape the project.

Level B projects (small and medium-sized costs): One editor will collaborate and make adjustments through the mentoring of new editors.

We set up an internal screenwriter award every year to select the best original script of the year, and provide bonuses and investment resources.

Expected results, risks and avoidance

Chen Mo nodded as he watched. When he was a programmer implementing a project, he hated the people who pretended to be experts, pretended to know everything, and gave orders blindly under the title of Party A. Therefore, he could empathize with them.

"The plan is perfect," he closed the document, "I would like to add two suggestions:

1. We can conduct trial operation according to the current framework, and when the gold medal editor is in place, we can throw in the second season of "China World", "Fights Break Sphere", "The Bad Guys" Season 2, and "The Monkey King: Hero is Back", which are still in the preparation and production stage, to go back into the process and see the final effect of audience feedback.

Next year, the screenwriters will not only be limited to domestic ones, but also some outstanding foreign editors, such as the screenwriters of Prison Break Season 1 and Breaking Bad, may also be considered.

Second, after the screenwriter team is formed, you can consider forming an alliance of emerging directors. Forget about those big directors. I think it is still worth investing in emerging directors with potential, such as Guo Fan, Yang Yu (Jiaozi), Tian Xiaopeng, and Ning Hao, who are all very good.

Chen Tong quickly wrote down the key points: "Understood, I will start preparing now."

“Remember, when we create content, profit always comes second.

If you polish your product to be excellent enough and satisfy your users, money will come naturally as a by-product.”

"it is good!"

When revisiting "A Man's Martial Arts" recently, Chen Mo deeply realized the importance of a good script.

After the broadcast of "China World", although the audio-visual effects were widely praised, many netizens criticized that the plot was weak and untenable.

This exposes the shortcomings of Bi'an Film and Television in story creation.

In fact, he had already had the idea of ​​forming a screenwriter team, but he didn't expect that Chen Tong would bring it up first, which made him very pleased.

As the company has grown, the team has been able to proactively identify problems and propose solutions.

Whether it is Sun Ziwei's game strategy or Chen Tong's screenwriting plan, it proves that the talent system of the other side is operating in a healthy manner.

As the helmsman, his role has gradually changed as the group has expanded: from a specific executor to a strategic controller.

Nowadays, there are still many business proposals that need him to personally control, which is still a long way from his ultimate ideal of being a "hands-off boss".

But the most urgent task now is to
Chen Mo called Xu Chaojun and asked, "Well, arrange for someone to develop a queuing system."

Hearing the other party's puzzled question, he laughed and scolded: "It saves you guys from queuing up at my door every day~"
