Chapter 14

At this moment, Chen Mo's phone rang.

When Chen Mo saw that the call was a guy from his college years, Zhao Zihao.

"Hello?"

Zhao Zihao's somewhat untuned voice came from the other side of the phone: "Chen Mo, you can, the champion of the game design competition? You don't even say this to your buddy. It's too intriguing!"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I just settled down, there are too many things. How do you know about this?"

Zhao Zihao said, "I also asked me how I knew, you are going to be popular! The videos of you fighting against the judges in the competition have been spread online!"

Chen Mo was speechless: "Ah?"

Zhao Zihao said, "You go and see it yourself. By the way, do you have time tonight? The three of us didn't get together well after graduation. This time you also got the status of a game designer and made a useless experience store. Isn't you welcome me?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Okay, treat me. Then you can call Lin Mao as well."

Zhao Zihao said, "Okay, that's it. In this way, I will pick up Lin Mao first, then go directly to your experience store, and then we will discuss what to eat. Let's book at 4 pm, see you."

Chen Mo said: "Okay, see you all."

In the memory of the parallel world, Chen Mo had two very good buddies in college. The three of them were not in the same major, but they all entered the game industry.

Zhao Zihao is a rich second generation. His family seems to be in a traditional industry. Chen Mo is not very clear about the specific situation, just knowing that this person is not short of money.

However, Zhao Zihao is not a game designer. He opened a studio and built a game guild, including but not limited to: agency training, money making, game channel promotion, etc.

This company is not big, but the employees' salaries are not low, and they are all good at gaming, so those who play poorly will not be charged.

These employees can basically be regarded as playing games with Zhao Zihao. Other jobs are all side business, and no one cares whether the company is losing money. Anyway, Zhao Zihao is just playing.

Some time ago, Chen Mo heard that Zhao Zihao was interested in setting up a club, but the investment was too great, so he hadn't decided yet.

Zhao Zihao is not arrogant and is not like a rich second generation in traditional concepts. He always thinks about playing games all day long. When he was in college, he often went to Internet cafes with Chen Mo and others. He is often called "the body of a rich second generation, the heart of a loser."

Chen Mo's other buddy, Lin Mao, is a game designer, just like Chen Mo, and he has almost obtained the qualification of a D-level designer as soon as he graduated from college. He is now focusing on developing his own independent games.

Among these three people, Chen Mo studied literature, Zhao Zihao studied finance, and Lin Mao graduated from a serious game design major.

The three of them met in a game club in school since their freshman year. They have always had a very good relationship and are one of the few good friends Chen Mo has in this world.

...

At noon, Chen Mo went around the neighborhood, became familiar with the environment around the store, then found a small restaurant, went in and ordered a rice bowl.

By the way, I took out my cell phone and read the news.

Sure enough, many media reported on the game sections of the game competition, and there were still many people participating in the comments.

"The game design competition ends, who will spend 300,000 yuan or experience store?"

"A magical bird wins the game design competition!"

"Live Audience: Feeling the Most Abusive Game in History"

"700 viewers 350 hours of game duration, this game is poisonous!"

"Judges angrily criticized: Can this be considered a game?!"

"flappybird designer: The judges have no objective spirit"

"The Founder of Hengyou.com Blows This Small Game to the Sky"

Chen Mo flipped through these news and basically reproduced the game scene, but these media focused on the argument between Shi Huazhe and him, obviously wanting to use this as a gimmick and hype the topic.

There are also live videos, Shi Huazhe’s comments and Chen Mo’s final speech, which are repeatedly played and are very popular.

Chen Mo didn't care about these things. For him, it was a good thing for the media to help him hype him up. The more players they know him, the lower the cost of publishing the game in the future, and it also saved a lot of publicity costs.

There is a word in this era called attention economy, which is also applicable in the gaming industry.

The richer the information, the more precious the user's attention. For the same two games, one of them was not noticed by anyone, and the other game was already hotly discussed before it was released. Then even if the quality of the latter is not as good as the former, its benefits will be far higher than the former.

If you have a fan group of 5,000 people and the fans in the group obey you, then you can completely count on this fan group to support yourself, whether through Taobao stores, game channels or any other monetization method, you can do this.

At this time, Chen Mo noticed that a game media published an exclusive interview with Shi Huazhe.

On the screen, Shi Huazhe looked ugly and said to the camera: "What I said to this contestant Chen Mo was an advice as a person who had experienced it, but he thought it was me belittled him. It was ridiculous."

"I still have the same view. The game industry is an industry that requires sincerity and accumulation. This Chen Mo player cannot go far. I think his next game will not exceed 100,000 in the first month."

Chen Mo smiled. Shi Huazhe was really stubborn. He never gave up no matter what he was criticized.

Chen Mo silently opened Weibo.

His Weibo has been certified by real-name and has become a D-level designer and a champion of the design competition, and this information has been updated.

Chen Mo directly forwarded the interview on Weibo, and then added a comment: "Don't you eat something?" and then @ed the official blogs of several game media.

I have to make a fuss with me, right? OK, I will accompany you to the end!

After a while, Chen Mo's Weibo exploded!

The official blogs of several game media found that Chen Mo had responded, and they all smelled the smell of "making a big news" and forwarded it one after another!

Game Information Network, Skynet, WeChat Game Channel... Even an executive of Dichao Interactive Entertainment reposted it!

After such a fuss, a large number of players noticed Chen Mo’s Weibo!

"Chen Mo? Is this the champion of that design competition?"

"Is it me?"

"It must be true, you see there is real-name authentication."

"Damn, what's going to make a fuss? Are you going to fight to the end?"

"The young man has a very personality, I admire you!"

"What does what he said mean? What does he want Shi Huazhe to eat?"

"...Upstairs, is your village just connected to the Internet?"

These players were directly excited in Chen Mo’s Weibo comments.

Chen Mo said, "Don't eat something?" is actually a meme, because people often predict it online, and in order to create a gimmick, they often add a sentence "Not eating Xiang" or "I'll eat the mouse if I don't want to eat it", etc. The food is varied and strange. So when I encounter a prediction post, many netizens will reply: "Don't eat something?"

Chen Mo's meaning is very clear: "Shi Huazhe, you said that my next game's sales cannot exceed 100,000 in the first month. What if it is broken? What don't you eat?"

Soon, the retweets and replies under this Weibo began to soar, one hundred, three hundred, five hundred!

Moreover, enthusiastic netizens are still helping @Shi Huazhe, which is simply a big deal to watch the fun.

Chen Mo is much calmer than Shi Huazhe, so this matter won't make him take it seriously. In fact, Chen Mo is not disgusted with hype. If hype can bring attention to his next game, why not do it?

Soon, Shi Huazhe replied: "Bored!"

Chen Mo Yile, Shi Huazhe really dared not gamble.

The comments below Weibo were sighing, and some people continued to fan the flames and incite Shi Huazhe to bet with Chen Mo, and they could eat the keyboard or mouse.

Shi Huazhe simply pretended to be dead and never replied again.
