When Chen Ming, Situ Kong and Xia Zhihe talked about the mid-season tournament and the Star Invitational Tournament, their expressions were confused.
Can you still play like this?
Chen Ming explained: “Having only one major event a year is actually a waste of players’ enthusiasm.”
"After each spring split, there will be a rest period of more than a month. The team will not start training again until the summer split."
"In more than a month, we can organize a mid-season tournament."
"The value of the mid-season tournament cannot exceed that of the finals, but trophies will also be awarded."
"The Star Invitational Tournament is mostly entertainment in nature. After the exciting finals, it is very reasonable to organize an entertainment competition for players to relax and have fun."
Xia Zhihe himself is the planner.
After listening to Chen Ming's words, he understood immediately.
Chen Ming’s suggestion is feasible!
Any measures taken are to maintain the popularity of the game.
The Mid-Season Invitational and Star Invitational Tournament fit this purpose perfectly.
Not only that, through these two brand-new events, we can also earn two more huge event incomes.
Chen Ming took a sip of tea and sighed: "Since the game company's income depends on selling skins, you can make championship skins for the teams that win the championship every year in the finals and let players buy them."
"You don't need to promote the new skin. Those champion teams can't help but promote it everywhere. After all, this is a symbol of his honor."
"fool!"
"too stupid!"
Chen Ming has no business talent.
Everything he said was based on the planning and operation of Riot Games in his previous life. He used actual experience to tell everyone that this method works.
If Chen Ming was born and raised in China, it would be normal.
But Situ Kong and Xia Zhihe are the bosses of the game company, so they should not have thought of this.
Xia Zhihe rarely blushed.
He really didn't think of Chen Ming's suggestion!
Their planning department usually plans skin activities and has never considered this aspect.
Now when I heard Chen Ming talk about it, I suddenly had a sense of enlightenment.
But soon, Xia Zhihe looked a little embarrassed: "Mr. Chen makes sense, but hosting the event also requires money. Can you lend us some?"
.........
The expenses for hosting an event mainly include three aspects. The first is the event prize money; the second is the rental fee for the venue where the event is held; and the last one is responsible for the accommodation and food of the contestants.
All in all, the expenses are not small.
Hearing this, Chen Ming finally understood.
I really wish that the company was really poor and had no money.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming asked curiously: "How much do you want to borrow?"
Xia Zhihe looked at Situ Kong, he still wanted Situ Kong to talk about this kind of thing.
Situ Kong thought for a moment in embarrassment and said, "Twenty million."
It's already August now.
There is no need to consider mid-season.
It will have to wait until next year at the earliest.
Currently, where Jixiang Company is spending its money is on the production of the animated music video of the KDA girl group and the start of the global finals in October.
If you still have money after the finals, you can consider the Star Invitational Tournament.
After calculation, 200 million is barely enough.
When Chen Ming heard this number, he was not too surprised.
"Can."
Chen Ming agreed without any hesitation.
For a moment, Situ Kong and Xia Zhihe smiled.
Chen Ming, what a good man!
"However, I have a request."
"Can you design a skin of mine in the game?"
Chen Ming smiled honestly.
Although he doesn't play games often, it is definitely a joy to have an exclusive skin in the game "League of Legends".
How are sales?
Chen Ming doesn't care.
If others don't play this skin, he will play it when he has free time.
This is equivalent to Chen Ming leaving his own footprints in the game.
Full sense of honor!
Xia Zhihe didn't even think about it and agreed directly: "No problem! I'll talk to the skin design team when I'm done and try to get the skin online simultaneously when the next game version is updated."
Afterwards, Chen Ming directly transferred 200 million to Situ Kong.
Looking at the balance in his card, Situ Kong couldn't help but keep mumbling: "What a good man, what a good man!"
At this moment, Chen Ming seemed to have become a great benefactor.
Until Chen Ming left Jixiang Company, Situ Kong always looked at his benefactor.
To be honest, it's not that Xia Zhihe didn't think of these plans.
Give him a year or two, and when everything in the game is mature, Xia Zhihe can think of plans related to these mid-season games.
But the problem is that Jixiang Company is short of money now!
Very short of money!! They have no other income channels except selling skins.
Under such circumstances, Chen Ming told Situ Kong and Xia Zhihe about these plans in advance, which was regarded as selling Jixiang Company a favor.
After leaving Jixiang Company, Chen Ming returned to the hotel and rested for the night.
The next day.
Chen Ming hurried to the headquarters.
"Myth" filming is about to begin!
He needs to work with Li Youwei quickly to finalize the role in the play.
A few days later, all the crew members were settled.
This filming was still funded by the company, so when it came to selecting actors, we did not deliberately avoid actors with high salaries.
The directors are still the same three.
Chen Ming plays Yi Xiaochuan.
Sun Qingxuan plays Yu Shu.
Xiao Xuan plays Gao Lan, who is also Xiaoyue in her previous life.
The role of Lu Su was a bit difficult to decide on, so Li Youwei spent a long time choosing and decided to invite Nanni, the heroine who had worked with Chen Ming in "The Beginning".
In "The Beginning", Li Shiqing, played by Nanny, gave a very strong performance, unlike a college student who has not yet graduated, which left a deep impression on the audience.
The key is that her performance is simple enough.
It is very suitable for such a person to play a gentle role like Lu Su.
besides,
The casting of other roles basically does not look at salary, only acting skills.
For example, Bai Yi plays Xiang Yu; and Ji Lin plays Gao Yao...
Bai Yi's age does not match Xiang Yu's.
But his muscles match Xiang Yu so well.
As for Ji Lin,
There is no need to say more about the gold content of the actor.
The only thing that makes Chen Ming a little regretful is that there is no suitable role prepared for Qin Lianyi in the play.
Chen Ming originally planned to ask Qin Lianyi to play Lu Su's sister, Lu Pheasant.
But Li Youwei's suggestion was to hire a young actress about the same age as Nanni. In this case, Chen Ming's plan had to be abandoned.
Everything has been arranged and all the actors have been invited.
this time,
Chen Ming did not invite Tong Ran, Du Keke, Zhou Yike and Song Meng.
These four people are busy and can't spare time.
On the day the roles were finalized, the KDA girl group's live-action MV was also filmed. Next, we only needed to hand over the editing work to a dedicated person.
