Pei Qian felt light-headed. "What's going on?"
How did my miniseries, which wasn't making any money, become a mobile game?
The corners of Lin Wan's mouth twitched as she smiled knowingly.
"Boss Pei, weren't you the one who hinted to me?
"I asked you when Bloody Battle Song would turn for the better, and you told me that it depends on luck.
"Isn't the trend of mobile games based on luck?
"Aren't you hinting to me to catch up with the trend of mobile games?"
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "… I think there might be a misunderstanding here."
Lin Wan's smile widened.
Boss Pei was really open-minded.
"Boss Pei, I know you want to give us as much credit as possible.
"Then, why did you hint to me to work with Shenhua's cell phone business? Don't tell me you didn't know that Lin Yu is Shenhua's Vice-President and happens to be in charge of the cell phone business?
"If not for your hint, Lin Yu would not have given me recommendation spots. I would not have thought of advertising Bloody Battle Song in Shenhua's application store."
Pei Qian, "???"
Didn't I ask Lin Yu to look for you to give you a hundred thousand yuan as pocket money?
Who asked her to give you recommendation spots?!
If he had known that Lin Yu would give Lin Wan a recommendation spot for her mobile game, Pei Qian would have accepted the hundred thousand yuan without hesitation!
Pei Qian looked at Ye Zhizhou, confused.
Ye Zhizhou was elated as well. He raised his thumb and said, "Boss Pei, I want to say that you are really far-sighted!
"Quick, take a look at the game's reviews."
Pei Qian frowned slightly. Confused, he opened the mobile version of Bloody Battle Song's review section. What he saw was a sea of positive reviews.
"I said that I would never play a trashy game endorsed by Zha Zhuti. In the end … hehe, it's really good!
"This is a game that gave me a huge surprise. I thought that this game would be like those scam web-based games. In the end, it's completely different! Other games fill their screens with top-up options, but this game only allows you to buy stamina potions. It's so kind! It reminds me of the first time I saw Ghost General! "
"Indeed, Ghost General has a conscience as well, but mobile card games are indeed too old fashioned. Bloody Battle Song is very social. Now, I'm waiting to fight in the national war every day. It's so interesting! "
"You've misunderstood this game. Full marks for encouragement!"
"This is the game I'm most satisfied with in recent times. The graphics are good, the quality is excellent, the gameplay is rich, and the price is reasonable. What's more, it's actually dual-terminal. The developer is a genius. "
"Zha Zhuti, I misunderstood you! You said that this game is an absolutely fair and green Kingdom War game. I thought you were lying to me, but I never expected it to be true! "
"It's really rare to see such an honest advertisement!"
"As a web-based game player, I've never seen such a good game. I must give it full marks!"
"I don't have to be bullied by the tycoons in this game. Everyone is equal. It's so comfortable. I have to spend money and max out my stamina potions!"
Pei Qian fell into a daze as he looked at all the good reviews.
The smart Boss Pei immediately understood what was going on.
Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version had gone from a mini-client to a mobile game. Everything had changed!
Initially, the biggest problem with this game was that there were not enough players. However, after it was converted into a mobile game, this problem was easily solved!
Right now, mobile games were on the rise. From the Qute Three Kingdoms to Ghost General, mobile games were developing in a more complicated and heavy direction.
Furthermore, web-based games like Bloody Battle Song would definitely become a mobile game on a large scale in the future.
Under such market conditions, the first project that appeared would definitely reap the best dividends. It might even lead to a revolution in the entire market!
The mobile version of Bloody Battle Song was a project that was bound to succeed. That was because many factors that contributed to its success were gathered together.
Zhang Zuting's brainwashing advertisement had nurtured many potential players for the game. Shenhua's application store's recommendations had also attracted many quality users.
Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version was a game with a conscience, just like Ghost General. It would receive a good reputation among ordinary players.
The game itself was of high quality. Although it could not compare to client-side games, the art resources that Pei Qian spent five million yuan on made this game stand out in the mobile game industry, crushing everyone else.
The 'Chosen One' system could allow ordinary players to have the same satisfying gaming experience as ballers. In fact, compared to other web-based games, ordinary players would have a better gaming experience.
All in all, once this game appeared in the mobile game industry, it was like a nuclear bomb had been detonated. News of it spread like wildfire!
Pei Qian was completely dumbfounded.
Although Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version had cut down on payment options, that depended on how many players there were!
If there were too many players, even if they only sold strength potions, they would still be able to make a lot of money.
What's more, Pei Qian thought of an even more terrifying possibility.
Many game guilds could have accounts, and a player might not only play with one account!
That was because the 'Chosen One' system would randomly select players. If they had a few more accounts, their chances of being selected would increase.
When the time came, some rich players might even buy the Stamina Potions for their smurf accounts. After all, it wouldn't cost much.
Once there were too many players in the game, no matter how low the paywall was, it would become very profitable!
Pei Qian was a little dazed. "Wouldn't this game be profitable?"
Lin Wan quickly replied humbly, "It won't be. Wang Xiaobin did some calculations. Based on the current rate of user growth, we would only earn four to five million yuan a month. It might not even be as good as Ocean Stronghold."
Pei Qian was stunned. "Four to five million yuan?"
How could they earn so much?
Pei Qian knew very well that it would not be surprising for them to earn so much money in the mobile game market a few years later. However, the mobile game market now was not that big!
What's more, Bloody Battle Song's paywall was very low. Even if there were many players and the game's reputation was good, they should not be able to earn so much money, right?
Lin Wan smiled and said, "That's because Shenhua Games Platform is giving us a ninety percent share. We are taking ninety percent."
Pei Qian, "…"
A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat. He almost fainted.
So, this was what they were waiting for!
It was no wonder they could earn so much money. The channels only took ten percent. What was the difference between that and not taking any money?
Was this what it meant to be a backdoor entrant?
Was this how biological daughters were treated?
That was too scary …
Lin Wan still felt that it was a pity. "Actually, we could have earned more.
"I can only say that this game has a conscience. The paywall is too low. If we had followed Bloody Battle Song's scammer top-up system, we might have earned more than ten million yuan a month.
"However, don't worry, Boss Pei. We don't intend to do that.
"We have always kept Tengda's mission in mind. We will always put our reputation first!
"That way, Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version's lifespan would definitely be extended. It would not be like other web-based games where no one would play it after three or four months. In one or two years, our game would probably be able to maintain this level of income. In fact, it might even be higher! "
Pei Qian felt unwell.
Earning four to five million yuan a month was already very difficult to sustain!
Indeed, it could not compare to web-based games with heavy paywalls. After all, ballers in those web-based games could spend tens of thousands of yuan to top up their games. One baller was equivalent to hundreds of ordinary players.
However, it was also very scary to rely on ordinary players to earn so much money!
There were too many players in Ocean Stronghold. The monthly bandwidth and server fees were also a huge cost.
However, there were benefits to having many players as well. The game was popular and had a long lifespan!
Bloody Battle Song was a national war game. It was a game with strong social interaction. Naturally, players were very loyal.
Players in other national war games were also very loyal. However, the problem was that ballers would try to outspend each other. Once the numbers were out of control, the combat system of the game would easily collapse.
Thus, most web-based games would inevitably lose a large number of ordinary players after three or four months. They would have no choice but to roll servers and struggle at death's door.
However, the combat system of Bloody Battle Song could not possibly collapse. The 'Chosen One' system could ensure that the combat power of each national war would be controllable. What's more, it gave ordinary players a chance to draw a 'baller experience card'. Ordinary players would be much more loyal to the game. Thus, the lifespan of the game would naturally be extended!
When Pei Qian heard that the game should be able to maintain this level of income in one or two years, he felt as if he had heard the most vicious curse in the world. He felt terrible.
How was this a money tree? This was a huge burden!
What's more, it was a burden that he could not shake off!
Boss Pei was in a difficult position now.
If he maintained the status quo, this game would provide him with stable income for a long time to come.
If he opened up the top-up points and destroyed its reputation, it would indeed shorten the lifespan of the game. However, ballers would take revenge on him in the short term. The consequences would be dire.
Pei Qian was momentarily speechless. He did not know what to say.
Pei Qian felt his heart ache as he looked at everyone stuffing themselves with food.
You bunch of prodigals, stop eating!
Spit out all the good stuff!
To think that I wanted to praise you just now. This is how you repay me?!
Pei Qian finally understood why everyone was so relaxed, natural, and stress-free.
That was because the game had already profited!
It had both a good reputation and a good income. What was there to feel pressured about?
Pei Qian quietly handed the cell phone back to Lin Wan. He looked at her with a complicated expression.
It was over.
There was no way this lady could go back and inherit the family fortune.
Pei Qian found it hard to imagine how much Lin Wan's confidence had grown after the success of Bloody Battle Song's mobile version.
Lin Wan realized that Boss Pei was looking at her with a complicated expression. She could not help but smile.
Boss Pei's expression is so comforting. He must be happy for me, right?
Indeed, after working on so many projects from Sun Strike Studios to Tengda, I have finally grown into an outstanding designer who can take charge of a project on my own!
Pei Qian remained silent for two seconds. He did not know what to say.
He could only finish the red wine in his hand in one gulp.
He only had one thought in his mind now: get drunk!
At this point, Ye Zhizhou thought that Boss Pei was happily toasting him in celebration. He hurriedly tipped his head back and downed his red wine.
"Boss Pei, I'll drink too!"
"Come, everyone, raise your glasses! We're not going home until we're drunk!"
