Chapter 643: Utopia
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Lin Wei also nodded.
"You're right, we really can't focus on the immediate good. Although in recent times it has received the influence of Fruit and G as well as the upcoming release of new products of Corn and S Star. But in recent times, especially after the New Year, our number of users has exploded by almost half.
Now the global registered users of our virtual world 'Penglai Wonderland' have exceeded 200 million, reaching 230 million. Among them, there are only about 140 million in China, and about 90 million overseas, close to 100 million.
The number of daily active users has reached 100 million, and the user base is very active both at home and abroad.
And this area is also the most profitable we are currently making, especially the advertising revenue all over the virtual world, as well as the revenue and sharing income of some games, which are very objective.
Of course, the most lucrative is in film and television, we used VR technology to produce several film and television dramas last year, which received high praise, of course, the income is also quite objective, just those dramas, it has brought us no less than 8 billion income.
And not only domestically, but also overseas.
This year, we will increase investment in this area, and in addition to domestic film and television dramas, we will also try to cooperate with overseas countries to launch film and television dramas with local characteristics and loved by local people.
We expect that this year's revenue will exceed 20 billion. β
Wu Hao nodded and said with a smile: "This piece is still very unreserved by us, and it is a good job."
However, it is also important to note that you can't fish with all your might. Secondly, you still have to pay attention to the quality of film and television dramas, and you can't blindly market or make fan products, which is not good.
What we need to do is not only the joining technology, but also the art, so that this piece can be done for a long time, so that users can not lose their freshness.
So, when it comes to reviewing content projects, you have to be stuck and would rather be lacking than overuse.
Instead of doing so many bad dramas, it's better to make some good dramas with your heart. A bad drama may become popular for a while because an actor is popular, but a good drama can continue to be popular.
Just like you watch an online drama, you can watch a good online drama many times. But this kind of fan film and television drama, you can't watch it too much.
Although we now have 200 million registered users worldwide, this number is not high, which means that this area will be a huge and potential market.
So how to operate for a long time, this will test your wisdom and ability. β
Lin Wei thought for a moment when she heard this, and said, "Indeed, we are currently experiencing a bottleneck in the operation of the virtual world.
Our dream is to make it a real oasis virtual world like in the movie "The Player", and to create a new world for humanity.
In fact, we have reached that level in terms of the composition of the picture and the entire virtual world, but there are still many problems in the structure of the virtual world and the operation system.
We are ready to recruit a group of sociologists and anthropologists, jurisprudence and scientists in related fields to study and develop some of the rules in the virtual world.
At present, several relevant scientific research institutions are very interested in this and actively seek relevant cooperation from us. They hope to be able to use our virtual world to experiment with some social experiments that cannot be realized in real human society.
However, this aspect was rejected by our operators and security technology experts, who believed that such experiments would disrupt the social balance in the virtual world, and would likely lead to the intensification of conflicts between users in the entire virtual world, which was not conducive to operation and maintenance. β
"The direction is definitely right, our dream and goal is to hope to build this virtual world into an oasis like ChΓ©ng RΓ©n, and a 'Penglai Wonderland' that we can touch and enter.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is utopia, and utopia itself is illusory, it is a beautiful home in our human imagination.
But the reality is very difficult to realize, because dreams will always return to reality. So I think instead of chasing and adjusting too much, I might as well try to give the player more space to play on their own.
We have received many constraints in the real world, and we should also be subject to constraints of one kind or another in the virtual world. No, I guess that's what players and users don't want.
Of course, you can't completely indulge it, then I'm afraid that the virtual world will eventually become a ruin. The necessary framework and system must be in place, and it must ensure the normal operation of this virtual world.
Other than that, it's up to the players to play. You should have heard of the game "Mi" (Chinese: Minecraft), why it is so popular with players, and it has endured for a long time, is because there is enough freedom in this game, players can do whatever they want under the rules and give full play to their imagination.
Soon we will add some sub-worlds to the virtual world, which is actually a small virtual world of its own. These areas can be seen as a kind of Mi that players can play in to their heart's content. Some worlds that are not allowed in the Overworld (Virtual World) are okay in the Subworld.
And different sub-worlds have different ways to play, and even have different landforms, climates, force fields, and so on. In order to enrich the diversity of 'Penglai Wonderland'. β
Wu Hao explained with a smile at Lin Wei.
Hearing his introduction, Lin Wei couldn't help nodding, and then smiled and said: "This is good, there have been many players complaining before, the virtual world has been playing for a long time, it is a little boring, and some fresh content is needed."
We're going to make a report and send it to you, but I didn't expect you to think about it.
We also want to build a battlefield sub-world like in "The Player". In this sub-world, killing is allowed. Players need to purchase a ticket to enter, half of which will be used as a management fee for the use of the sub-world, and the other half will be used as a bounty for their own value.
Players can use this money to buy some weapons and items in the battlefield sub-world, and can also be used for other expenses. Of course, players can earn other people's bounties by claiming other bounties and kills.
And after the money comes out, it will also be settled into real money. This makes it more playable and increases revenue. β
Hearing Lin Wei's words, Wu Hao smiled and said, "It's worthy of being my daughter-in-law, this head is smart enough!" β
Go! Lin Wei gave him a charming white eye.
