Chapter 491 490. There is no way for something to continue to exist
The performance of the ghost blowing the lamp was not particularly good, but it was not satisfactory.
Although the sales volume is not comparable to the previous God of War series, Shanhaijing series and Assassin series, this is a very successful step.
The field developed by Ghost Blowing Lamp is not the same as those games. This is a game with certain horror elements but a heavy Chinese cultural atmosphere in it. The cultural output task undertaken is more important.
Take a look at the relevant foreign comments, most of which are very praised for the ghost blowing lamp:
“This is the best game I’ve ever played.
I can’t find any words to praise the quality of this game, it’s as if my myopia for many years was suddenly cured, and the whole game world is clear.
You can see what I mean by looking at the real machine pictures in this game:

Is every picture perfect?
I really love this game so much, it made me feel the atmosphere of the mysterious ancient country.
Most of the scenes can be captured as a desktop wallpaper. I bought this game because of the quality of the game. “
“This game can be said to be the Chinese version of Tomb Raider. I believe that Tomb Raider players will not be disappointed when they start this game.
Because the game of Ghost Blowing Lamp is much better than Tomb Raider in terms of graphics and quality.
If previous Tomb Raiders can score 10, then Ghost Blowing Lamp can score 100 in quality. “
“I have liked the games made by China’s Bomi Company for a long time, and this time the Ghost Blowing Lantern is no exception. Except for some strange words and pronunciations, the entire Ghost Blowing Lamp is very catchy, the puzzle design is just right, and there are Nice action experience.
I think Bomi should consider such a good game. It should not only be released on the PC side, but should take care of every player who needs it as much as possible. For example, I like to play this type on XBOX. game.
PS3 is also a good choice.
The main reason is that the operation with the handle will be smoother and the experience will be better. “
Seeing this, Cao Yang couldn’t help frowning.
In fact, the project team itself has this plan, but there is some trouble in porting to PS3, and it will not be released so soon.
What’s more, Bomi has such a huge promotion channel as the AIR game platform. There is no reason not to sell it on the PC side. After all, the AIR game platform is the foundation of the company’s survival.
And the game is sold through the AIR game platform, and the money is distributed to the company, not to other people’s pockets.
Of course, there are certain differences and influences on the division between the game platform department of Bomi Company and the Ghost Blowing Lamp project team, but for Cao Yang, of course, it is better that the fat water does not flow to outsiders.
It’s just that we still have to cooperate more with Microsoft and Sony in the future, so as to maximize the benefits.
Cao Yang instinctively wanted to reply in English below, which was already in the plan, but it would take some time to port to XBOX and PS3, and he only remembered the moment his fingers were placed on the keyboard——
This is not our own game comment area.
And Li Lanyun repeatedly emphasized to him that as a company boss, don’t always pretend to be a public relations person to spread news on the Internet, which will affect the company’s original publicity strategy.
Cao Yang withdrew his hand vigilantly.
Hey, the habit of laning with players on the Internet in the previous life has not changed much until now.
It seems that we must pay more attention in the future.
…
In short, the comments of foreign players on the game are relatively positive, which can also be seen from the sales. Compared with domestic players, players in the Omi region prefer this kind of adventure and puzzle solving, and it also has a certain horror element. some action games.
Otherwise, Tomb Raider would not have such a high popularity and audience abroad.
To a certain extent, Cao Yang has to thank Tomb Raider for helping them cultivate this type of game player, otherwise the sales performance of Ghost Blowing Lamp will only be more dismal now.
“Look at how well people abroad rate our game?”
After reading the relevant foreign comments, Boss Cao finally regained some confidence.
young secretary:? ? ?
“Boss, didn’t you just say that this is all survivor bias. People who don’t like playing this game won’t play this game at all, let alone comment on the Internet.”
Cao Yang: …
But it is not without bad reviews.
Many foreigners cannot understand some of the conversational thinking in the game.
Especially in *Grandpa’s time, there was a strong red trend of thought, so it seemed a little difficult to understand.
“I found that Chinese people are not very good at telling a story well. Some deaths feel meaningless.”
“And some places let some people die, which can further enhance the atmosphere of the game and make the plot more interesting. Why not do it?”
“I think the rest of the game is fine, but what I can’t understand the most is why the treasures I found with great effort and effort are finally handed over to the country.
Don’t the Chinese understand that private property is sacred and inviolable?
No wonder they live so depressingly. “
(The above are all written in English. For the convenience of reading, the author has translated them in advance. )
Cao Yang felt a little angry, and didn’t want to waste time with them, so he turned off the computer and stood up.
…
“go.”
“Where to?” The little secretary raised his head in surprise.
“Eat.” Cao Yang said.
“Oh.”
Zhuang Yurou started to pack up and followed behind the boss’s ass.
It’s already past 12 noon, and it’s already lunchtime.
People are iron rice and steel, and they will be very hungry if they don’t eat a meal.
When walked out the door, Cao Yang’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
The little secretary, the monk Zhang Er, was puzzled.
correct.
Cao Yang suddenly remembered something very important.
Even an outsider like the little secretary will subconsciously pay attention to the star product of the Ghost Blowing Lamp, and compare it with the Shan Hai Jing and Assassin series, so as a production team, isn’t it more difficult for the members of the Ghost Blowing Lamp project team?
Yes.
It seems that it is necessary to appease the production team of Ghost Blowing Lamp, I am afraid that these people are not very happy in their hearts now.
…
Although the game sales of Ghost Blowing Lamp are not ideal, these data are kept secret, and people outside do not know it yet.
So now at the game company summit held in the imperial capital, when reporters asked about the attendees of the relevant game companies, they were generally more optimistic about the game “Ghost Blowing Lamp: Jingjue Ancient City”.
Qiu Xin, CEO of Xishanju, said, “We are very envious of Bomi company, they have the world’s top technology and production team, I am also a fan of Bomi games, I have played many Bomi games before, but recently this I was busy with work for a while, and I didn’t have time to experience the game “Ghost Blowing Lamp” for the first time.
But judging from the reactions of my colleagues, the quality of this game is definitely worth mentioning, and it uses the latest X3 engine. According to Bomi’s internal statement, it should be called X3.5, right? Mr. Li? “
Qiu Xin smiled and looked at Li Lanyun who was sitting in the center of the venue.
Although Boss Cao did not attend the summit this time, Bomi Company sent Li Lanyun, the boss of the mutual entertainment department, to come over, which can be regarded as giving enough face to the sponsor of the summit.
When the latter heard Qiu Xin’s words, he smiled a little embarrassedly.
“Bomi’s R&D strength is recognized as strong in the industry. If they have open sourced the X3 engine, it can only mean that Bomi has even completed the X4 engine. This is to use the weapons of the next era to deal with the current enemy. unfavorable.”
Qiu Xin said with a smile.
“Ghost Blowing Lamp itself is also a big IP. We wanted to negotiate the relevant cooperation agreement with Ba Sing, but we didn’t expect to be one step ahead of Bomi. Otherwise, what you may see here today is not Bomi’s “Ghost Blowing Lamp” , but the ghost of Xishanju blowing the lamp.”
“Ha ha ha ha……”
Hearing Qiu Xin’s speech, everyone present, including the reporters, all laughed.
Whether Qiu Xin has contacted Ba Sing or not, and whether he really wants to be a ghost and blow a lantern is irrelevant.
Importantly, through these words, he expressed several meanings:
First of all, Bomi has superb technology and a more advanced engine than the market, so it can use the next generation of products to crush the products on the contemporary market.
Secondly, Bomi Company is the largest shareholder of Qidian, and naturally has the most extensive and rich game IP. The books at the top of the list below Qidian have accumulated a large number of readers, and it is very easy to realize them. .
But Qiu Xin just refused to talk about why the project of Xishanju could not make products like Bomi Company.
“My final conclusion –
Ghost Blowing the Lamp is definitely a good game, and it will definitely sell well. I congratulate Bomi in advance, and I hope we can catch up with them one day. Congratulations to Mr. Li, should we invite us to dinner later? “
Ha ha ha ha……
The crowd laughed, filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Li Lanyun said immediately, “Sure, I treat guests, I treat guests, the listeners have a share, I will go back to President Cao for reimbursement.”
Ha ha ha ha……
Everyone laughed again.
Ding Sanshi, founder of NetEase, said in an interview with reporters, “I have to say that Bomi has a large number of very excellent creators, such as the game production team of Ghost Blowing Lamp, and these large amounts of excellent IP can be given to any small company. The game companies are enough to become the foundation of their survival.
In foreign countries, such a series of products is enough to make a company and allow them to continue to survive.
And Bomi, they seem to have endless IP that can be created. “
These words were extremely poignant.
You Bomi have monopolized so many talents, so superb technology, what is there to be proud of when you can make good games?
If you can’t do it, there will be a problem, right?
And Boss Ding silently put himself in the position of [Small Company], which is also very funny.
Even though NetEase owns one of the largest portal websites in the country and also provides email services for hundreds of millions of users, if you look at it in the field of games, NetEase is really a [small] company.
This small size does not mean that the company is small.
It means that there are few projects, small projects, and thin profits, and there are few [big products] that can be produced. In the game industry, NetEase is small because they started relatively late, and it was only after a long time that they realized that it is the game industry that makes money. reason.
Now NetEase is still mainly taking the path of online games and chess and card games. It is mainly that stand-alone games dare not toss, and they do not have the strength to toss. This thing is a test of the production level of the company itself, and it may overturn if you are not careful.
Nine of the ten were single-machine, and one was hugging Bomi’s thigh.
Li Lanyun, the representative of Bomi Company, took over the conversation and said, “I can understand what Mr. Ding said, and I also agree very much with his point of view that enterprises should find their own foundation.
But I have something to add. “
“What kind of enterprise, the pursuit of different values, will naturally produce different employees and working environments.
In the Internet industry, it is not uncommon for employees to switch jobs and companies to poach corners. There are many employees in our company who have done quite a lot of projects. After having one or two masterpieces, they want to go outside and set up their own businesses. new world.
We can understand and support all of these. Bomi’s purpose is to be a pacesetter in the domestic game industry and to drive the development of the entire industry.
But, there is something strange about it—
The talents that these companies value highly, after going outside, many encountered unacceptable conditions, but they were unable to make good games.
In other words, the game has no [Bomi’s taste]”
After Mr. Li said this, half of the bosses present turned green, because they had more or less experience in poaching Bomi employees.
However, what Li Lanyun said is also a fact. After these employees were poached, they actually did not live well, because when working in Bomi, Boss Cao will do everything possible to provide them with the best resource environment, as long as they have enough creativity. , to make world-class products.
But in other companies, everything is profit-oriented, the company wants to pursue profits, and the boss wants to make money.
Every company wants to invest the least cost and get the most profit.
The final result is naturally that everyone does what they see to make money, especially online games and try their best to tap the user’s payment needs, and put their minds on [guide consumption].
“Why do these people become geniuses here, but when they go to other companies, they lose their combat effectiveness after being poached by others?
Have they really lost their ideas and enthusiasm for making games, and lost their creativity?
I don’t think so. The most important thing is that different companies have different game production concepts.
Making games is a sacred thing for me, but for others, it may just be a tool to make money. I am not saying that making money is not good. Any commercial company hopes to be profitable.
It’s just that gaming is very similar to writing. If you just want to make money, you won’t get what you really want.
There is no game quality and love for games, everything is water without a source, castles in the air. Something that cannot continue to exist. “
“…”
After Li Lanyun finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent.
