Number One Game Designer

Turning the mailbox, Chen Yu brought up a new matter: the Hundred Flowers Award had sent an invitation to Fang Xi.

This Fang Xi is no stranger. A cultural and entertainment award led by the state covers a wide range. Basically, as long as it is related to culture, it is possible to be drawn out for recognition. The only time before this time and space should be the former Donghuang. One year Donghuang's game script is very good. It has been nominated once and has been blown by them for a long time. This is the only achievement in the game industry. No way, although this is a very literary award, if you play the game, the market will not do anything for nothing.

Fang Xi remembered that the dog was better than the Golden Dragon Award before, and the disgusting Huang Duan'an even said in a weird manner that he wished himself something at the Hundred Flowers Award, but he did not expect to be invited by the Hundred Flowers Award. It's a pity that Huang Duan'an was definitely not invited, otherwise, wouldn't it be a great pleasure in life to face on the spot, it's a pity~

"I remember that the Hundred Flowers Award will not start until November, is it nominated now?" Fang Xi was a little curious.

"No nomination yet." Chen Yu turned on the computer and scanned the official website of the Baihua Award. There are still only some official drafts on it for the time being.

"Do we need to take the initiative to explode this news?"

Fang Xi rejected this proposal:

"Forget it for the time being, give this authority to Liu Hai and tell him not to speculate, just say that before the prize is a false talk, it is not too late to speculate after the prize."

"Let’s go out and celebrate the establishment of our Ghost Car Workshop today."

...

The official establishment of the Ghost Car Studio has not caused many waves in the world. For many people, Hongyi is still more topical in China’s headquarters. The editors of GAME World and IGN have noticed the new studio under the Hongyi official website. Added the name of Ghost Car Workshop.

But no matter where you are, you can't find specific news about the ghost car studio, and there is nothing to report.

In fact, although Fang Xi and the three brothers of Aoge had settled, they still had to go through a series of issues such as negotiations with Brown and subsequent capital injection, relocation of the studio, etc., so Aoge and the others did not bother to update their official website, or even They all forgot that they had an official website, and when they remembered, it was already December that the official name was changed.

So the media just mentioned it briefly, and the players naturally didn't care.

At the end of October, the summer will go out, there are two melons for Huaxia players to eat:

First of all, Donghuang Games won the invitation of the Hundred Flowers Award again after seven years, which made the traditional Chinese game circle, which is still the five largest companies in name, but actually only three left:

This is an invitation to the Hundred Flowers Award! The highest domestic awards! All the media were clamoring for publicity for a while, and its purpose was self-evident, and it was for Hongyi to see it.

Hey, our old company remembers us even the old domestic awards. What's the use of making more money? Hundred Flowers Award can't see you, are you angry? Are you angry? And we Dong Huang might still be able to win the prize. Are you angry?

Probably this is the above mentality. For Fang Xi hehe, if it weren’t for the fact that now the news was released, and finally he didn’t win a prize, he would have pulled these Bs up a long time ago.

Fang Xi didn't bother to care about it, jump, jump, and don't feel the pain at that time.

Another big thing is that after a month of publicity, Hongyi announced that it has reached a cooperation with Nintendo.

A spokesperson for Hongyi said that the cooperation between Hongyi and Nintendo this time is the portal, the main body of survival and the origin of everything that is about to be launched. At present, the transplantation and optimization of the three games has entered a specific schedule. Hongyi will meet with each other. Nintendo cooperates and strives to optimize the optimization of these games on the console.

This is quite surprising to domestic players. As everyone knows, in the game era in China, the era of the console is relatively short. Between the red and white consoles and the computer, the console is only in the first line of the country at that time. The city has been thriving for a few years and then it has completely withered. Compared with a pure game console with a few hundred dollars, parents are of course more interested in a computer that is said to be able to meet international standards and can learn and work.

This signal from Nintendo has also been interpreted by the media as saying that Nintendo still can't let go of China's market after all, and is it still going to try to make a comeback after all?

But the players are more interested in that Hongyi once again created a history:

Only the host has been ported to the PC. This is the first time that a game has been ported from the PC to the host in this world.

Fang Xi didn't care about these things. He just watched Nintendo's console empire feel a little bit stuffy, and watched a huge game market unfold in front of him, but this market was completely owned by others, which was very heartbroken.

After returning to China, Fang Xi organized a manual survey of the host market and issued a report.

The report shows that the current annual revenue of the global host market is 28 billion US dollars, which is half less than the previous time and space host market, but it is also very powerful. In this case, Hongyi's revenue this year has reached 7 billion US dollars. This may be possible. It is also a reason to attract Nintendo.

Nintendo also wants to rely on the "Sardines" of Hongyi to completely revitalize the equally embarrassing console market, and it can also use Hongyi as a springboard to enter the Chinese market, killing two birds with one stone, so overall a win-win situation.

As for Fang Xi's proposal to develop a host from scratch, the market research team after thorough investigation... gave an answer that is not recommended.

One is that Fang Xi can think of it himself. The long time cost and the knowledge cost of the host architecture from zero. The time-consuming is unknown, and the cost of money may cost billions of dollars to start. Even if the research and development can occupy the market, it is still not enough. It can be seen that the current market value of the mainframe market is not too high, but the three companies have basically wiped out this market, and Hongyi has no room to intervene.

The second is that the host needs to involve all aspects of physical distribution, the recording of CDs, the opening of global distribution channels, etc., such a set is busy, Hongyi basically re-opened a company from scratch, and it still can’t. To determine whether this company can make money is generally too risky.

The survey team’s recommendation is that Hongyi should stick to and expand its share in the PC market. It also lists the growth rate of the PC market since Hongyi’s efforts to support its point of view. It believes that in the future PC will definitely surpass the host market, and Hongyi will just wait for work , Will surely replace the influence of the console in the game business.

There seems to be a little bit of truth, but how long does it take? The report didn't say that Fang Xi was left aside.

For him, waiting for work has never been his own style. Since the console market can't get in, can he also lead the future game revolution if he opens up a brand new game market dominated by himself?

Just do what he thinks, Fang Xi waved his hand: "Let Director You report to me the progress of the establishment of the VR department."
