On the 25th day of January in the third year of Gaia, the end of the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the first meeting of the Shanhai League, a total of nineteen people attended the meeting, and Ouyang Shuo jokingly called it the meeting of nineteen people.

Only a year has passed, and it is already a matter of fact.

Last year's bright moon shone on the river, and they were just pursuing Red Eagle, but now the two are openly in pairs, envious of a group of single dogs.

Last year, Lin Jing relied on the Divine Soldier Seven Star Long Yuan to dominate the crowd of adventure players. Now, the sword qi thunder sound that has obtained the divine soldier Tai'a Sword is competing with Lin Jing.

What's more, at the auction, the bloody romance of throwing millions of gold coins to auction off the [War Blood] artifact set is the first person among adventure players.

Last year, Ouyang Shuo was accompanied by Mulan Yue, and now she has been replaced by Song Jia, and the news of the marriage of the two has caused waves in the alliance.

Whether it is Bai Hua or the phoenix, the eyes that look at Song Jia are all weird.

Last year, the black mamba snake that was specially invited to attend has long disappeared with the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group]. In its place, there is the more mysterious Black Serpent and the Black Serpent Guard, which intimidates the enemy.

also disappeared, as well as the two brothers Song Wen and Song Wu.

One was reappointed as the city guard of Zhenhai City, and the other served as the deputy commander of the Leizhou County Garrison Division. Years later, Ouyang Shuo was already preparing to promote Song Wu to the division commander of the Xunzhou County Garrison Division.

Since there are old people leaving, it is natural that new people will join.

As an important member of the guild alliance, the attendance of the love thread buckle is not surprising at all. What is surprising is that the two people who appeared in the Tianya Courtyard were Shadow Fox and Dream Wonton.

Obviously, Ouyang Shuo wanted to take this opportunity to completely incorporate the [Shadow Alliance] and [Yimenglou] into the alliance.

went around and around, four in and four out, and in the end, there were still 19 people who participated.

In addition, there is another special existence, he is Bai Xiaosheng.

In May of the second year of Gaia, Bai Xiaosheng founded the guild [Wilderness Newspaper]. As the name suggests, this is a very special guild with reporters and editors.

The main business of [Wilderness Newspaper] is to cooperate with the government, and on the official forum, a news column [Daily Express] has been opened, which is responsible for reporting interesting stories and major events in the wilderness.

Although it is a paid reading, with the ability of Bai Xiaosheng's team to discover news, it is a big sale. Every day's news, there are dry goods.

Players joked that by subscribing to the [Daily Newsletter], it is easy to "stay at home and understand the world's major events".

The reporter stations of [Daily Express] are not only all over the nine royal cities, but also cover more than ninety percent of the players' territories in China, and Shanhai City is naturally no exception.

Up to now, the number of paid subscribers to [Daily Express] has exceeded 10 million. This means that one out of every ten players in China has subscribed to the Daily Newsletter.

If you remove the children, this proportion will be very staggering.

Reading [Daily Express] every day has become one of the inertia of most players' lives.

The pricing of [Daily Express] can be described as very down-to-earth, and players only need to spend 2 copper coins per day to read all the news content.

Even if it is a ten-year period, it will not consume a single gold coin in total.

However, the huge payment base still brings huge profits to [Wilderness Newspaper]. According to the daily consumption of 2 copper coins per person, its daily turnover is 2,000 gold coins, which can be described as a daily income.

In addition to paid reading, advertising revenue is the bulk of [Daily Express].

Whether it is a guild or a territory, if you want to issue a [Recruitment Order], [Daily Express] is the best choice. If it is released on the forum, except for a giant crocodile like Shanhai City, I am afraid that it will immediately sink into the sea.

In addition to the [Recruitment Order], the commercial promotion of territorial specialties, the transaction information of top items, and the release of clues for serial quests are also popular advertisements published in the [Daily Newsletter].

The perfumes, cheongsams and other commodities launched by the Song Chamber of Commerce have been on the [Daily Express].

To this day, similar news media have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Among them, there are regional media, such as the Kyoto Express; There are also professional media, such as [Xia Ke Island].

A variety of news media fully meet the reading needs of all kinds of players.

Even so, the Daily Express still dominates.

With this, Bai Xiaosheng became famous, and even appeared on the [Celebrity List] in one fell swoop. Some people jokingly said that if Wuyi is a giant among the player lords, then Bai Xiaosheng is a veritable media giant.

And only a year ago, Bai Xiaosheng was just a critic with a slight reputation on the forum. Bai Xiaosheng's sudden rise is due to the "unique" business model of [Daily Express].

The quiet rise of journalism has made countless people see business opportunities. In other words, the sudden popularity of journalism has once again impacted players' inherent game concepts.

To say that the business model of [Daily Express] is unique is actually just a false proposition. Because in reality, this mobile information paid reading model has become more and more mature as early as one or two hundred years ago.

Bai Xiaosheng's breakthrough is to successfully transplant this business model into the game world. Just like the perfumes, cheongsams and other goods launched by the Song Chamber of Commerce, it is an impact on the inherent thinking of players.

They have a common characteristic, that is, they operate the game world as a real world, rather than sticking to the usual game thinking and maintaining the so-called "ancient charm" in the game.

To put it simply, it is still a return to Ouyang Shuo's previous mention, the theory of player group crossing.

It is not difficult to see from Gaia's behavior of setting up columns for news media such as "Daily Express" on the forum, and it is not difficult to see that Gaia has an encouraging attitude towards this.

Bringing the game world to life was one of Gaia's goals.

Even if the future immigrant fleet arrives on the Planet of Hope, "Earth Online", a cross-century game, can still continue to operate and become a part of people's daily lives.

After all, the refining and selection of talents is also an enduring process.

Business-minded people have already sniffed out other business opportunities from the boom in journalism.

At the forum, there is no shortage of prototypes of various industries, but there is a lack of a unified platform.

For example, web novels.

In fact, as early as a year ago, there were players who created related YY novels based on the game "Earth Online", whose themes include online games, fantasy, martial arts, history, military and other major categories.

These novels are nothing more than pastimes written by the author.

However, if you can open a special online novel reading platform with the support of the government, like [Daily Express], and then carry out professional operation and publicity, you can realize it immediately.

After all, in reality, paid reading of online novels has long become a mainstream.

Another example is web series and movies.

The filming equipment provided by Gaia, combined with the various elements of adventure, fighting, and warfare that exist in the game, is not difficult to produce very exciting TV series and movies as long as there are professional screenwriters and directors.

Now the forums are full of self-entertainment films taken by players.

Undoubtedly, only more sophisticated and professional production can have the ability to monetize.

All of the above are in the category of entertainment.

If you jump out of this framework, its imagination will become more and more huge.

For example, online shopping.

Since the cancellation of the super trading platform, cross-regional online shopping has become a luxury.

However, online shopping in reality has long become the mainstream of people's consumption.

With the help of the forum, start an online shopping platform, and then with the help of the post station, set up a courier network, you can easily replicate the real Taobao in the game.

All of these are unlimited business opportunities.

As a reborn, Ouyang Shuo certainly knew that all of this had been realized one by one in his previous life. Not to mention these, the future industry has long jumped out of the constraints of official forums.

With the development of the game, there is no limit to the entertainment needs of players.

In the years to come, real-life singers will be reborn in the game one by one.

Ouyang Shuo clearly remembers that in his previous life in Gaia, four years ago, Lin Luo, a top superstar in reality, held a classical concert with games as the main body in Kyoto Square, and the number of audiences directly exceeded 200,000.

With this concert alone, Lin Luo frantically attracted 500,000 gold coins and was known as the queen of gold absorption.

Not only the stars in reality, with the development of the entertainment industry, the game has also given birth to a large number of new generation stars, who are either peerless masters in the game or top grandmaster-level skilled talents.

All in all, the game world of the future will be more and more integrated with the real world.

The reason why Ouyang Shuo did not take advantage of the reborn to touch these industries was precisely because he adhered to one sentence: there is a specialization in the art industry, and you can't chew it if you are greedy.

It is no accident that Bai Xiaosheng was able to establish [Wilderness Newspaper]. In reality, he is a senior media person with very rich experience in news media operations.

Otherwise, the [Daily Express] would not have become popular all at once.

Similarly, other industries need to rely on similar professionals to truly exploit the business opportunities.

For Ouyang Shuo, instead of being distracted, it is better to run the territory wholeheartedly, which is his main business. Just like now, even though Bai Xiaosheng is known as a media giant and is invited by Ouyang Shuo, he still feels flattered.

At the end of the day, in Earth Online, the lord is really at the top of the food chain.

In addition, there is the question of opportunity.

Whether it is an online novel, an online drama, or online shopping, or even a celebrity concert, there is a premise, that is, the relative stability of the game world.

In the era of war and chaos, all this is just a dream bubble.

In the previous life, it was only in the fourth year of Gaia that similar industries gradually began to emerge.
