Extra 1:
"Good news, good news!"
"After many years, "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" finally won the revival competition!"
When Chen Ba walked into the first development team office of Tianba Games, he heard bursts of cheers coming from inside.
what's the situation?
He was curious, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Brother Ba!"
Seeing Chen Ba, Xiao Lu said excitedly: ""I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" has won the resurrection competition, and this game can finally be launched into public beta!"
Am I a big internet celebrity?
Chen Ba scratched his head at first and couldn't remember which game it was. It wasn't until Xiao Lu said that he had won the resurrection match that he suddenly realized it.
It turns out to be that game...
Not to mention that he has forgotten that this game was proposed to be developed by Dong Ge, but was blocked or even threatened by a major Internet company during the testing stage, and had to regretfully lie in the coffin.
What does it mean to win the Easter match?
Chen Ba was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" was highly similar to the products of the major Internet company that specializes in short videos for various reasons, which also resulted in the game being unable to be released for public testing.
The original arrangement he gave was to put it on hold temporarily and wait for subsequent adjustments and modifications before trying again.
Could it be said that it has been adjusted?
"It's not that they have adjusted, but that the other party finally relented and stopped troubling us on this matter."
Xiao Lu said with a smile on his face: "But they also have two requirements, that is, this game must be published by them, and the login interface must also use theirs."
"That's no problem!"
Chen Ba thought for a while. These two requirements were both difficult and simple.
The other party probably felt that "I am a Big Internet Celebrity" has a certain value in attracting traffic, and did not want to cultivate a new opponent, so it wanted to get the login interface permission.
What does this permission mean?
This means that if players want to play the game "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity", they cannot log in with a Tianba account, but must log in with the account they provided.
No problem at all!
Chen Ba has no interest in re-creating a short video streaming platform, nor has he thought about competing for jobs with the other party.
Since the other party is so afraid of "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity", then let them do whatever they want. Anyway, if they don't agree, the other party will probably continue to make obstacles and continue to obstruct the online public beta of the game.
and……
Everything has two sides!
Although the request made by the other party is excessive, there is also a good side. For example, if the other party takes away the login interface and distribution rights, it will inevitably attract a large number of players to "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity".
joke!
After all, the other party is a big company that can compete with Penguin. The number of active users of its short video platform is simply terrifying.
If you get the other party's promotion, you can use the short video platform's account to log in to the game with one click. Chen Ba couldn't even imagine how popular "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" would be when it was launched.
What a coincidence!
"I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" is a simulation development game. The biggest difference between it and other simulation games is its "interactivity".
In this game, each player will play the role of a "virtual internet celebrity video blogger" and gain higher ratings and income by growing fans.
Where do fans come from?
There is an "anonymous" social setting in the game, which means that each player has two identities, one is a public "Internet celebrity" image, and the other is a private "fan" account.
That is to say...
The greatest fun of this game is the "100% realistic" social relationship between fans and idols between players.
After all, Internet celebrities are acting as real people, and fans are also acting as real people. Isn’t this level of realism not real enough?
Precisely because of the extremely unique setting mechanism of this game, there is also a very embarrassing aspect of this game, that is, "it won't be fun if there are fewer people."
If the number of players is too small, the core mechanism of the game cannot run smoothly. Even if there are robot fans, the game will seriously lack playability...
The more people there are, the more fun it is!
That's why Chen Bacai agreed to the conditions proposed by the other party. After all, with such a powerful company on the Internet helping to promote it, the launch of "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" will definitely attract a large number of players to join the game.
And the result was just as he said.
"I Am a Big Internet Celebrity", which won the revival competition, was quickly launched into public beta under the full promotion of the short video giant.
On the first day of public beta testing, it attracted more than 12 million players to experience the game.
This is quite an astonishing number!
It can be said that without the promotion assistance of this short video giant company, Tianba Studio alone would definitely not be able to attract so many players during the public beta.
What is the concept of tens of millions of active players?
The answer is, the game takes off!
More than 10 million active players have met the basic requirements for the smooth operation of the game "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity", or even greatly exceeded it.
Soon, these players who got into the trap discovered that the game "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" is quite interesting!
It is said to be a game, but in fact it is an alternative disclosure of "amateur internet celebrity development methods".
In the game, players can pinch their faces. Maybe the face-pinching part of other games does not affect the game experience, but "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" is different!
In the game, your facial expressions will directly determine your next gaming experience.
After all, you play as an "Internet celebrity" in the game, and gaining followers is your highest goal, and everything has to give in to "popularity."
Then here comes the problem.
If you create an ordinary passerby NPC face, do you think you can stand out in a competitive environment full of handsome boys and beautiful girls?
Although the server has only been open for a day, there have already been many videos and posts on the Tianba community and some videos and tutorials.
No exceptions!
At the beginning of almost every strategy tutorial video and post, newcomers are warned to "never pinch your face randomly", otherwise you will have to create a new character and start from scratch.
"Either stunningly handsome, shockingly ugly, or very distinctive, such as Wang Laoju's face from the Ancient God series..."
The old players in the closed beta test earnestly taught: "Remember, you play "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" to become an Internet celebrity, so you must not be careless in the face-making process."
"Of course, that doesn't mean that making up your face determines everything. If your character has no characteristics, you won't be able to gain followers and become a big internet celebrity..."
"An attractive character just makes you one step ahead of others. If you want to truly become a big internet celebrity, content is also very important!"
That's right!
In the game, players who play the role of Internet celebrities post videos, write blogs, etc., and the content is all "fake content" generated through AI editing.
Although the content is false and is automatically generated by AI based on keywords and factors such as "character level, experience, template", the keywords are not generated out of thin air.
for example.
Player Zhang San wants to play the role of a rich second-generation Internet celebrity who "drives various luxury cars every day and visits various high-end places" in the game.
Then he must first obtain relevant game props or prompt words, so that the AI can generate relevant content for him.
Otherwise, the content generated by the AI will be full of flaws and distracting shots, causing him to lose fans and even fail the game.
And this process is collectively called "operation" by players!
In one sentence.
Character shaping can only determine the start and starting point, and can make you one step ahead of others. For example, if Teamfight Tactics starts with three lucky stars, and Landlord starts with bombs, you will be lucky!
But subsequent operations are also critical, even ranking first in importance.
If it is well-operated and the content is more in line with the attributes of your character and fan portraits, your fans will increase quickly, and the game system will also give high ratings and push higher traffic.
The operation is very poor, and there are even a lot of mentally retarded operations. Even if Tianhu starts the game, he still won't be able to play...
It’s so cool!
Looking at various game videos on forums and short video platforms, countless netizens have become very interested in the game "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity".
What, this kind of game?
In the world simulated by the game, play a big Internet celebrity with millions or tens of millions of fans, accept business and single advertising, and reach the pinnacle of life?
Okay, okay, if you say that, then I have to play it and see if this game is as interesting as advertised!
Many people downloaded and played "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" with the mentality of giving it a try.
After playing this game, they were completely addicted.
Wow, this game has a strange magical power. I know that everything in the game is fake, but I don't want to wake up. The more I play, the more I get confused.
What's even more outrageous is...
On the second day of the game's open beta, a well-known game master said that after he achieved "one million fans" in the game, the MCN agency that signed a contract with the game arranged a special business order for him.
What is a special business order?
The special thing is that the electronic contract of this commercial order is actually a formal contract with legal validity!
Moreover, the sponsor is not a fictional company made up in the game, but a real company that exists in reality. The reward is not game currency, but real "banknotes"!
"Wait a minute……"
Some players realized something was wrong and asked the master: "You became an Internet celebrity in the game, but you received real business orders?"
"Yes!"
The great master nodded, and then continued: "It sounds outrageous, right? But don't worry, even more outrageous things are yet to come!"
"When you complete this business order, the brokerage company in the game will also take a share of the remuneration stipulated in the contract, and they will even pay personal income tax on your behalf."
Players: "..."
Nani? !
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Even if you play the role of an Internet celebrity in the game and receive business orders from real companies, when it comes to collecting rewards, will the brokerage company in the game also come to take a share of the pie?
Damn it, is there any royal method?
The real-life business orders that my buddy takes, do you, a brokerage company in the game, want to get involved?
I quit. I can’t stay in a black-hearted company like this for a day. I want to jump to C...what...
In the game "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity", all the agencies are run by Brother Ba?
That’s okay!
