Chapter 167 Very Expansive (17/17
The interview lasted about 2 hours, and Chen Mo resolved all the tricks carefully prepared by Han Lu. Not only that, Han Lu felt that she was in danger of being tricked by Chen Mo.
In the end, Han Lu had nothing to ask, so she stood up and said goodbye.
"I'm really troubled you today."
Han Lu was also a little puzzled. Although she didn't ask anything, what was going on with this feeling of being taken for granted?
Chen Mo stood up and said, "You don't have to be polite. I hope you can write this interview well so that players can feel my love for them."
Han Lu: “…goodbye.”
Han Lu left Chen Mo's experience store and took a look at the content she had written down.
Well, it seems that there is a lot of content, but in fact there is nothing...
However, this should be reasonable. Han Lu suddenly realized that she seemed to be very open-minded.
...
Three days later, the manuscript came out.
This manuscript basically faithfully records what Chen Mo said in his exclusive interview, without any artistic beautification or malicious vilification. How Chen Mo said, Han Lu would write it.
It’s not that Han Lu doesn’t want to beautify it, it can’t beautify it!
However, what surprised Han Lu was that the editor-in-chief was quite satisfied with the manuscript. Soon, the manuscript was published on the Skynet Game Channel with the title: "Exclusive interview with Chen Mo, the creator of "Onmyoji",: Making money is just a matter of by the way."
There is a paragraph in it that is written.
"When I asked, as the most profitable mobile game designer in China, does it have a unique secret? Chen Mo replied: In fact, it is not just to make money, making money is just a matter of course. It is to make players feel happy, to create value for society, to art, and often to lose money."
After this article was published, it caused crazy complaints from players, and was even forwarded to major forums, and was reprinted by many game media on the website.
"Here's here again! This cheating editor raped my IQ with Chen Mo again!"
"Damn! If I believe it, I will be a bad pen!"
"Onmyoji is more fair? Are you afraid you are not teasing me?"
"Upstairs, Chen Mo said nothing wrong. In short, everything depends on luck, it is quite fair 2333"
"Damn, 18 months of year-end bonus? Chen Mo is so rich. Who knows the recruitment phone number of Thunder Interactive Entertainment? I'm going to sweep Chen Mo!"
"The one upstairs, haven't you refuted the rumors? It's a quarterly award."
"I'm so rich, my mentality explodes! How can I do this!"
"Chen Mo returns my hard-earned money!!"
"Here we come again, use the salary to create happiness! I have wanted to say that this guy is still a scam at heart. Don't think he is very conscientious in making "Warcraft" and "The Legend of the Knights", but his true colors will be revealed as soon as he makes a mobile game!"
"Yes, in the future, I will only play Chen Mo's PC game and boycott Chen Mo's mobile game!"
"You two above, please be more careful. Didn't you force Chen Mo to transplant the operating model of mobile games to PC games?"
"Ah? Not that right?"
"Stop talking, what if I really transplant it!"
"Damn, making money is just a matter of convenience? By the way, earning 200 million yuan a month? I am convinced, why does this person feel uncomfortable all over without showing off for a day?"
"Make money by the way, Serent?"
"What did he say he lost, we made money? Damn, I laughed out loud."
"The king of the game circle is born!"
...
Other designers were also confused when they saw this interview.
"What's the thing? This Chen Mo is so inflated?"
"What does it mean to sincerely advise everyone that the card mobile game market is so big that it can't squeeze out others?"
"Mom, what a big tone!"
"I really think "Onmyoji" can do whatever he wants if he has money?"
"I'm not convinced, I'll develop another card mobile game now!"
"Don't be calm, at this momentum of Onmyoji, whoever hits and dies!"
"I'm so angry!! This Chen Mo is so jumping. Can you come to punish him?!"
"Who can punish me? Even "Demon-killing 2" has stopped talking!"
...
The entire mobile game circle was disturbed by "Onmyoji", and Chen Mo was happy to be idle.
In short, enjoy the feeling of making money while lying down.
However, what makes him more trouble is that the experience store has become more and more lively recently. Especially on the first floor, many players from "Onmyoji" have come over from afar, paying a visit to Kagura Wish SSR, which often fills up the experience store.
Moreover, Su Jinyu is an assistant and a front desk, so she is really too busy.
Previously, Chen Mo's idea was to maintain a small team, mainly developing small and medium-sized games, and accumulate funds. Because the communication efficiency of small teams is higher, and the training effect of these three assistants is also better.
However, with the popularity of "Warcraft" and the popularity of "Onmyoji", Chen Mo increasingly felt the urgency of increasing staff and improving the working environment.
After all, it is a bit of a scam to make Zheng Hongxi and Qian Kun work in an environment surrounded by players every day.
Moreover, after the explosive expansion of "Onmyoji", Chen Mo already had a lot of money.
So far, the cumulative sales of "Warcraft" have reached 5.7 million, bringing Chen Mo's total revenue is about 630 million, and "Onmyoji" has a monthly income of 260 million. These two parts have basically become the big part of Chen Mo's income.
As for "The Legend of the Knights" and the previous games, the money was all considered a waste of time, and Chen Mo basically didn't care much anymore.
Among these games, the R&D cost of "Warcraft" is the highest. With the subsequent addition of the full set of CGs, the cost is about 80 million. The cost of "Onmyoji" is much lower, which is less than 20 million. If the promotion and promotion costs of these games are deducted, Chen Mo is now about 700 million yuan.
Of course, the money here is mainly earned by Warcraft. Currently, the development of Warcraft is pretty good. Because various RPG maps are constantly updated, the subsequent sales have not shown any obvious decline. Of course, sales will definitely slowly decline in the future.
After all, this is an RTS game, so there are naturally few players. Moreover, Thunder Interactive Entertainment has limited influence overseas, and its publicity and promotion cannot reach the level of Blizzard in the previous life, so its income must be lower than its quality.
Fortunately, after the sales of "Warcraft" declined, "Onmyoji" will explode. Chen Mo estimated that Onmyoji's monthly turnover should be higher next month, and it is expected to reach the level of 5.6 billion.
Chen Mo has a lot of funds on hand now. The average R&D funds for 3A masterpieces on PC are about 40 million US dollars. Just in terms of money, Chen Mo can already afford it.
As for VR games, the R&D cost of VR games is basically 10 times that of PC. If you want to port 3A masterpieces to VR platforms, the cost will start from about 200 million US dollars, which is still a great risk for Chen Mo.
Until now, Chen Mo has more funds and the three assistants have more comprehensive abilities. It is time to consider further expansion.
