Chapter 219: Taking down MiHoYo, HM agents betrayed!(1/4)
Seeing Wang Yi come in, the four people immediately became quiet and stood up one after another.
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Hello, who is my fellow countryman?"
Mr. Cai, who was still a student, was a little embarrassed and scratched his head:
"Sorry, Director Wang, I'm from Jeju. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you, so..."
In the past few days, they went to solicit investment, but were often turned away, so they applied their name as a fellow villager.
In the previous life, the four people started soliciting investment in October, but they encountered obstacles for four or five consecutive months. No one was willing to invest at all.
It wasn't until early next year that Mr. Song accidentally saw MiHoYo and thought it had a promising future, so he called them and invested one million to keep MiHoYo alive!
Only then did we have the future gaming giant, the super unicorn.
This is the most difficult stage for MiHoYo, and it is also the only difficult stage.
After receiving the first investment, miHoYo will produce "Honkai Academy" in the second half of next year.
And in 2014, "Honkai Academy 2" became famous in one battle, became a huge hit, and generated countless revenue.
MiHoYo will be like MiHoYo today, with terrifying revenue, no shortage of money, and no need for investment.
Even if two Ma directors came to ask for investment, MiHoYo would not agree.
Just like Meiyou now, Wang Yi is not interested in anyone who wants to invest.
There is no shortage of money at all, so why should we accept investment?
It can be said that the present is the only difficult stage for MiHoYo, the only stage that requires investment, and the only time to raise funds!
Three years later, MiHoYo is so rich that even if Brother Ma comes to invest, there is no chance!
In his previous life, Mr. Song was the one who caught this huge wealth. This time, Wang Yi stopped him!
Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's okay, since we are fellow villagers, it's easy to talk. It's almost time for dinner, let's go to dinner, I'll treat you!"
"Dr. Wang, no, no, no." The four people waved their hands quickly.
Logically speaking, to attract investment, they have to treat Wang Yi to dinner.
But now that the game has failed, MiHoYo is indeed out of money.
"It's okay. The visitor is a guest or a fellow countryman. I have to entertain you no matter what."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Let's eat and chat."
"That's...ok! Thank you, Director Wang." Mr. Cai agreed.
"You're welcome."
Wu Shuang drove a commuter car and was already waiting at the door.
The group got in the car and went straight to a nearby five-star hotel.
"Dr. Wang, just eat whatever you want, no need to be so polite..." Mr. Cai was a little embarrassed.
This meal may cost tens of thousands.
They only spent 100,000 yuan to make their first game.
Wang Yi patted Mr. Cai on the shoulder: "It's okay, you are all people with dreams. From now on, this kind of occasion will be your daily routine!"
"I..." Mr. Cai looked a little complicated.
Their first game failed, and no one was optimistic about MiHoYo.
When I went to other investors, I couldn't even meet them face to face, so I was sent away passively.
Like Wang Yi, it is really rare to meet them in person, treat them to a five-star meal, and encourage them.
There is no way, as a reborn person, Wang Yi understands how awesome these technical nerds will be in the future.
"Genshin Impact" has single-handedly raised the level of domestic games by several dimensions.
"Believe in yourself, you can do it!" Wang Yi encouraged.
"Thank you, Director Wang!" The four of them expressed their gratitude.
I never expected that the dignified Meiyou Wang Dong could be so approachable.
Soon, the dishes were served, and several people chatted while eating.
Talk about games, anime, two-dimensional... The more we talk, the more speculative we become.
As we chatted, we talked about Pure Desire Wind.
Mr. Cai said with emotion: "Dr. Wang, Meiyou's pure lust-style design is really excellent. From now on, the clothing styles of our game characters will also follow the pure lust-style design!"
Wang Yi nodded: "That's no problem. You'd better follow the pure desire style. If you only have impure desires, I'm afraid if you want to go online on the IOS App Store, passing the review will be a problem!"
"The review issue, yes, this is a big deal!" The four people wrote it down one after another.
In the previous life, the Android version of "Honkai Academy" was easily available, but when it was launched on the IOS App Store, it was blocked by Apple because it was too exposed.
After several rounds of negotiation and harmony, it took two months to successfully launch on IOS.
"Dr. Wang, do you think our design will be harmonious?"
With that said, Mr. Cai took out his mobile phone and pulled out some pictures.
It is the character drawing of their second game "Honkai Academy".
Wang Yi waved his hand: "It will definitely be harmonized. Android will be fine, but IOS will definitely be stuck."
"But if you change it, the visual impact will be reduced!" A partner frowned.
"Yes, our original artist CICI put a lot of effort into this design, and we all think it's good." Someone else said.
Wang Yi smiled: "In making games, I don't want you to think about it, I want players to think about it, and I want regulators to think about it. No matter how good you think it is, if it can't pass the review and the game can't be played, then it's all meaningless."
"This..." Several people fell silent.
Mr. Cai nodded: "Director Wang is right, it does have to go through supervision first. It's just this standard. How can we better grasp it?"
Wang Yi thought for a while: "It's very simple. Can the game character you design and her clothes be seen and played by your future children? If you can, then it won't be a big problem. If you can't do it,
, those parents and supervisors didn’t agree either.”
"Understood."
Several people nodded, and the more they thought about it, the more it made sense.
Yes, it's too exposed and looks exciting.
But you probably don’t want your children to play this kind of game!
Let alone a trial.
Wang Yi said meaningfully: "Of course, if you don't want it anymore and are too conservative, then the game will be ruined."
"So, the pure desire wind is your destination. How to make it both sexy and pure, which not only makes the players excited, but also makes the reviewer think it's okay, this is the direction you have to work hard for!"
"I understand, thank you, Director Wang, for your guidance."
The four people benefited a lot.
Now, they are just passionate technical geeks who just want to make the games they like and have a great time.
I don’t understand what an audit is, nor how to operate it, nor how to make money.
Even if the game is successful or not, they don't care, they just want to be happy!
As a result, "Honkai Academy" was considered a success, but it failed to be commercialized and did not make much money.
It wasn't until "Honkai Academy 2" that I made big money.
Afterwards, everyone chatted a lot.
Wang Yi explained their confusions and problems in simple and easy-to-understand terms and gave them the right solutions.
This made Mr. Cai and others excited and completely relieved.
If Mihayura Investment brings in a shareholder who doesn’t understand the game and doesn’t understand their philosophy, the consequences will be disastrous.
But Wang Yi understands the game and has the same philosophy as them. He is even ahead of them. He can guide them and prevent them from taking detours!
There are also various resources to help them become bigger and stronger!
This kind of existence is not a simple financial owner, but a noble person!
The four of them looked at each other and exchanged opinions.
Mr. Cai took a deep breath: "Director Wang, to be honest, we are here to attract investment. MiHoYo's first game was not very successful, and we have no money to continue making new games. But we still have dreams, and we still have
I am passionate and don’t want to give up just yet. I hope you can invest and support me!”
With that said, Mr. Cai handed over some information: "This is the gameplay and settings of our new game. Take a look."
Wang Yi took the information and started reading it.
It is the generation of "Honkai Academy", a 2D side-scrolling stand-alone game where girls fight zombies.
In the previous life, this game was in development for more than a year, until it was launched on 91 Games in October 2012. After many twists and turns, it was revised many times before it was launched on IOS.
