Chapter 372: Earning More Money Won't Make You Too Tired
It's now May.
At 1 o'clock in the morning on the 9st, "Dungeon & Fighter" officially started its limited public beta.
The supporting servers are not all in place yet, and some codes need to be debugged and modified, so only 88888 application places are available for the time being.
This made many young guys who got up early during the holidays and rushed to the Internet cafes with great enthusiasm so angry that they almost vomited blood.
They angrily cursed Penguin Group, such a big company, for only releasing a mere tens of thousands of places. Before some people could refresh the webpage, the places were snatched up by others.
As a result, in countless Internet cafes across the country, if someone is trying out Dungeon Fighter, there will always be a group of people standing behind them, watching and commenting on the game with great interest.
This new game has beautifully designed scenes and characters, dynamic sound effects and background music, and a rich social system. In the eyes of many people, it is more interesting than "Fantasy Westward Journey".
Because the server has just been launched, all kinds of equipment are still scarce.
A player tried to sell a purple equipment for 500Q coins, but he didn't expect it to last even a minute before it was sold to other players in the blink of an eye.
By the afternoon, players began to sell their accounts.
A public beta account can be sold for several hundred yuan. There is no shortage of wealthy young people who love to try new things in the market. They choose to spend money on impulse just to try out the game a while in advance.
Therefore, some "online fraud" incidents have also occurred.
Some people paid money but were deleted as friends by the other party, while others were having fun but were suddenly kicked offline by the seller.
In many bulletin boards and forums, there are even plug-ins that claim to increase the drop rate of top-quality equipment and increase attack power. Whoever believes them will be fooled, and after paying, they will be deleted by the other party in seconds.
The official website of "Dungeon & Fighter" issued a reminder as soon as possible, and anti-fraud slogans also appeared on the user login page.
Fan Wumian was well aware of the dangers of game plug-ins. Shortly after acquiring the game studio that developed "Dungeon & Fighter", he set up a separate "anti-plug-in" department.
Through data encryption, purchasing or developing anti-cheat systems, active malicious module identification systems, anti-injector systems, and other means, we try to minimize the impact of plug-ins.
Once solid evidence of using plug-ins is found in the background, the starting time for banning the account is set at 3 months, which clearly shows that the government does not want these players to continue playing.
After all, the destructive power caused by a player using cheats may cause ten players to delete the game in anger. In order to avoid losing the big picture for the small, it is necessary to strike hard.
There are many typical examples of bad money driving out good money.
For example, in the previous life of Xinlang’s Weibo, too many people expressed their opinions unscrupulously, but were rarely punished. Over time, the situation became chaotic and most normal people chose to leave.
Its influence has plummeted, it got up early but arrived late, its market value is far lower than that of Xiaohongben App, and not even a fraction of Douyin Short Video.
As for Penguin Weibo, which was created in advance by Fan Wumian, there is no such trend for the time being. The number of big Vs who have been permanently banned due to being reported and blocked too many times has reached three digits.
In order to reduce the negative impact, Penguin Weibo has also developed a special function to display past posts of big Vs who have been reported too many times, and other ordinary users can vote on whether to ban them.
Once the proportion of people who choose to be "banned" exceeds half, they will not be released easily for at least three years. This has made many big Vs restrained and they dare not complain about everything all day long.
It’s the fourth day since the public beta of Dungeon Fighter.
Fan Wumian also saw relevant information about plug-ins on the Internet, so he made a phone call to inquire about the situation. He learned that some people were using it to commit fraud, so he called the police and found that several people had been arrested.
Arresting people is not the point itself. The point is to use calling the police to make Dungeon Fighter's anti-cheating attitude clear.
He also suggested on the phone that they would recruit some extra staff to specifically look for plug-in sales dens, similar to the anti-counterfeiting work, and focus on online shopping platforms including Taobao.
It’s also because of the plug-in issue.
The accident brought back Fan Wumian's memories, and he thought about how in his previous life he had spent hundreds of dollars on the online game "Cross Fire" in order to win weapons and skins in a lottery.
Cheats like wall-passing, headshots, and perspective are so hateful that people grit their teeth. Even flying, hiding, and teleporting can be seen everywhere.
Even though it leaks like a sieve, this game is still very profitable.
Considering that it is the same for driving one sheep or a flock of sheep, Fan Wumian later took the time to search on the Internet, but he could not find any relevant information using the Chinese name.
But searching for English keywords successfully found a South Korean game company that announced last year that it was developing a first-person shooter game called "CrossFire".
Look at the abbreviation, it’s just CF.
It was a small-scale gaming company and not much information could be found on Yahoo, so Fan Wumian instantly decided to swallow it up.
Before he knew it, he had several game projects under his control, which made him consider setting up a separate game company and registering it overseas to save taxes.
Yang Mi was arranged to join the variety show "Running Man" and ran around as a permanent guest.
After more than a week of filming, the show has just recorded its fifth episode. The progress is a little slower than expected, and a lot of time is spent on traveling and setting up the scene. The segments are nothing more than tearing name tags, playing games, interacting with guests, etc.
Since it is a new program, there is a lot of material to be conceived. Several screenwriters were inspired and designed the segments of each episode in a snap.
Huang Shengyi and Huang Bo formed a group and just finished participating in the second episode. Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng also appeared on the show. In the fourth episode, Liu Shishi, Xiao Yang and Yao Xingtong were taken to Mount Huashan. They were so tired from climbing the stairs that they almost went into shock.
Hosts such as Yang Mi and Sha Yi were exhausted and were forced to take a day off.
The company's contracted artists who were free finished their performance first, and then they extended invitations to the outside world. They found a family from the show "Home with Kids" and went to the suburbs with the program crew to plant trees.
After filming the fifth episode.
The crew of "Running Man" took a temporary holiday because Yang Mi and Xiao Yang both had to go film "Detective Chinatown", so they had to pause for a week or two.
They are all projects under Shanzeiwang Media, so it is normal for artists to work on both ends. The chief director in charge of "Running Man" came up with an idea on the spur of the moment and suggested that Yang Mi and Xiao Yang go to shoot first, and then the crew would go to Thailand to shoot one or two episodes.
Moving the variety show shooting location abroad seemed particularly high-end in 2006 and helped boost ratings.
When the news was reported to Fan Wumian, he agreed immediately and planned to use this program to promote "Detective Chinatown" in advance.
At this moment.
Zhuang Muxi, who had rushed over from Yanjing, was lying in Fan Wumian's arms, with sweat dripping down her forehead and her hair a little wet.
She had no strength to move, and said:
"I've received several work calls in a row. Ah Mian, you've been really busy lately, with both business and filming."
Fan Wumian put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile:
"If you earn a lot, you won't be too tired. A few days ago, I invested in Sanyao Heavy Industry. On average, I worked five days a week and earned HK$3000 million a day. I can work 16 hours a day."
Zhuang Muxi smiled and said:
"That's right. Others are busy because they have no choice but to make a living and support their families, but you asked for it. In fact, with Xing Zai's influence, he can definitely support high box office. If you insist on coming all the way here to film with him, be careful that you will be outdone."
This is the truth.
His net worth was increasing at a crazy speed like a snowball.
A US rating agency gave YouTube a latest valuation of $7 million to $8 million yesterday, because they found through research that YouTube's overseas market size and recent revenue far exceeded expectations.
During the same period, those who were busy starring in movies and working hard did not earn as much as the wealth brought by the appreciation of assets.
He told Zhuang Muxi:
"Many human problems are caused by idleness. If I sit in the office all day processing documents, I might as well stay in the crew to film. Even when Andy and Stephen Chow were filming together, their presence was severely weakened and they almost became supporting roles. This time I play a serious genius detective, which is not as interesting as Stephen Chow's comedy role. It is normal to be outdone."
Halftime.
Zhuang Muxi asked, "Do you feel good about filming with him?"
".He has too high requirements for details, which is good for the audience, but it makes the crew very uncomfortable. A few days ago, we invited a Thai actress, and she cried because she had to shoot a scene over and over again for more than ten times."
"."
Zhuang Muxi said: "Then I have to be careful too."
"You're fine. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it, so I avoided him when designing the script. Tomorrow you'll only be acting with me."
"Really? I haven't even read the script yet, but I'm actually going to play a highly intelligent female criminal villain. I'm so excited."
Fan Wumian said happily:
"Keep calm. You just showed up this time to make your presence felt. There is no room for you to show your acting skills. The script will be written around you when the second part is filmed next time. Even then, the earliest we can start shooting is in the third or fourth quarter of next year."
He has been living alone in a suite during his ten-plus-day shoot in Thailand.
With the arrival of Zhuang Muxi, his restless emotions finally calmed down. Otherwise, every time he passed by Gao Yuanyuan's door, he would always subconsciously glance at her. Several times, he almost impulsively invited her to come over.
Nothing substantial has happened yet, but Fan Wumian can clearly sense that there is a vague ambiguity between them, which is rapidly heating up in recent days.
Gao Yuanyuan has been busy dating for more than half of the time since her debut a few years ago, and her experience in emotional relationships is obviously much better than that of Liu Shishi, Yang Mi and others.
Occasionally he would stand close to me, or they would discuss the script together, and his every move and gesture was full of charm.
After being teased, Fan Wumian finally understood why so many men in her previous life chose to fall in love with other women for her. Even though she was already in her forties, she could still charm a rich boy in his twenties from Deyun Society to the point that he could not walk.
Many times, maturity and sexiness really overwhelm purity and sweetness.
