As soon as the staff finished speaking, the crowd exploded.
"Huh? Qiu Bin isn't coming? "
"Why not?"
"I heard it's personal reasons."
"Damn, I really wanted to listen to this talk, why isn't he coming?"
"The organizers are so funny, only notifying us now that it's already been decided."
"Whatever, there's a VR talk next door, let's go check it out."
"Geez, I wanted to learn how to make my own mobile card game after seeing how much money mobile card games are making this year. What a shame."
Many people stood up and were about to leave.
At that moment, Qiu Jiang came on stage and took over the microphone. "Qiu Bin isn't here, but Chen Mo is here. Hurry up and say something nice. Wouldn't it be better for him to talk to you guys instead of Qiu Bin?"
Many people wanted to leave, but stopped after hearing Qiu Jiang's words.
"Chen Mo? Onmyoji's designer, Chen Mo? He's here too? "
"My goodness, Chen Mo's Onmyoji beat Qiu Bin's Demon Slayers 2. If he's willing to talk, it'd be better than Qiu Bin!"
"Yeah, I Am MT was made by Chen Mo. When it comes to mobile card games, that's the real ancestor."
"Where's Chen Mo? Which one is Chen Mo? "
"I'm not leaving, where's Chen Mo? I support Chen Mo's talk! "
Qiu Jiang came down from the stage proudly and pulled Chen Mo up from his seat, "Go."
Chen Mo was speechless. What's going on? Didn't you say I'm here to listen to the talk? Why did you sell me out in the blink of an eye?
Didn't I just emphasize your age? Is there a need to hold a grudge? Is there a need to?
But as soon as Chen Mo stood up, the crowd became excited and started clapping passionately.
"It's really Chen Mo? F * ck, clap your hands! "
"I want to listen, let him talk!"
Chen Mo was speechless. He didn't plan to go on stage, but the crowd was so passionate that it would be pointless to say 'sorry, I can't talk'.
Moreover, it wasn't a big deal to talk about it. Others might be afraid of being copied, but Chen Mo wasn't.
Chen Mo helplessly walked up to the podium, looked at the crowd, and said, "Alright, since everyone wants to hear it, I'll talk about it."
There was another round of enthusiastic applause.
Many people were discussing below.
"This is Chen Mo? He's so f * cking young. "
"He seems to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He entered the industry after graduating from university and has only been in the industry for two years."
"He's already an A-grade designer at this age. Damn, I really can't compare!"
"Moreover, his game's monthly net income is more than 200 million!"
"Over 200 million? That's last month's data, it'll probably grow even more this month. With Onmyoji's current momentum, it'll be at the top for at least another three to five months, right? "
"Motherf * cker, this is a f * cking genius?"
"F * cking awesome. I've come all the way here today. I have to listen carefully."
Those who were about to leave decided to sit down and wait for Chen Mo's talk.
The talk was actually scheduled a long time ago. The Game Committee had considered arranging a talk about mobile card games due to the outstanding performance of mobile card games this year. After much deliberation, they decided on Qiu Bin.
Demon Slayers had been at the top of the mobile game leaderboards for a long time. Qiu Bin had the right to give this talk in terms of player numbers, popularity, and revenue.
But who would have thought that Chen Mo, who had been doing well on PC, would suddenly make a comeback and sweep the mobile game leaderboards with Onmyoji, beating the crap out of all other mobile card games.
However, the content of the lecture for the award ceremony had already been arranged, and Qiu Bin had already submitted his speech. Moreover, Chen Mo was still a newcomer. The organizers considered that Qiu Bin had been preparing for this for so long, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be pulled out so suddenly. Therefore, the original arrangements for the lecture remained.
But Qiu Bin wasn't happy about it. Demon Slayers 2 was so easily defeated by Onmyoji, why would he want to give a talk? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
He came up with an excuse not to come.
The officials also expressed their understanding and planned to cancel the lecture. In the end, there was a problem with the communication, which led to the following mishaps.
Chen Mo looked at the time, it was about time to start.
The computer on the table was connected to the projector. Qiu Bin's PowerPoint was already submitted on the desktop. Chen Mo thought for a bit. He couldn't just give a talk, or he might go off track. Since there was a PowerPoint, he might as well use it.
Chen Mo opened Qiu Bin's PowerPoint, and the title of the PowerPoint appeared on the screen: Analysis of the Profit Model of Mobile Card Games. Speaker: Qiu Bin.
Chen Mo typed a few times on the keyboard and added a few words after "Speaker: Qiu Bin".
Speaker: Qiu Bin (crossed out) Chen Mo.
Chen Mo cleared his throat and said, "It's my honour to be able to stand here today and share some of my thoughts and experiences in making mobile card games."
"I might be a bit casual, don't mind me. It's not that I don't want to follow a script, but I don't have one."
Some of them laughed.
Chen Mo continued, "That's great, I'll follow the outline of the PowerPoint. The core of mobile card games is actually quite simple, most designers would be able to understand it if they put some effort into it. I'm sure Mr Qiu Bin's understanding wouldn't be too far off from mine. "
Chen Mo flipped through the PowerPoint as he spoke.
The first page was a summary, Qiu Bin had prepared four points on the topic of 'Secrets of Mobile Card Games'.
First, build the players' recognition of the value of the card.
Second, utilize the advantages of mobile games, using fragmented time.
Third, low cost, iterate quickly, adapting to market demand.
Fourth, IP first, maximizing the influence of a big IP.
The next page was a detailed explanation on 'building the players' recognition of the value of the card ', such as explaining what' value 'was, how players could accept it, etc.
Chen Mo said, "Let's talk about the first point, how to build the value of the card.
"Actually, the so-called 'card value' refers to how much a player is willing to spend on a virtual card. In this regard, the value of a card differs in the hearts of different players. Some players are willing to spend tens of thousands to draw an SSR card, while some players aren't willing to spend even ten dollars …"
Qiu Bin's PowerPoint was pretty well prepared, so Chen Mo went straight to the point. Although what he talked about was common knowledge to most mobile card game designers, Chen Mo's understanding was deeper and was able to understand a lot of the parts that weren't clear, allowing many designers to see the light.
"So that's how it is."
"This numerical model is quite interesting, I always felt like there was a layer missing, so that's why."
"That's right. Previously, I was just a blind man groping an elephant, and could only grasp some of the details. Now that Chen Mo has explained it, I finally understand some of the details."
Qiu Jiang was also listening intently, a hint of surprise could be seen in her eyes. She made VR games, so she didn't really care about mobile card games, but after hearing Chen Mo's explanation, she felt that it was quite interesting!
Very quickly, the first point was finished. Chen Mo flipped through the PowerPoint and came to the second point, 'utilize the advantages of mobile games, using fragmented time'.
Chen Mo added a few words to the title after some thought.
