Chapter 575: The Symbol of June
The birth of "The Lost City of Dragons" was a complete accident. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After selling several games such as Magumagu to CJ Games, mobile game studios were unable to release mobile games of the same genre for a year, and the market was heavily encroached upon by CJ Games. In addition, Kakao also launched a game platform in early 2012, as well as the first mobile game "Anipang", which has remained very popular.
Although Park Ji-hoon explained a lot to Ji Sang-hyuk and others, it is undeniable that the studio's original opportunity in the Korean market has been lost. So, when planning a new game, he had a whim and incorporated a lot of Japanese style. Japan, South Korea and several other neighboring countries were greatly influenced by Chinese culture, so when he studied Chinese history, he inevitably extended to Japanese culture. He read through the histories of China, Japan, and South Korea.
The game is greatly influenced by history and mythology, and it is a great advantage not to seek how profound it is, as long as it can be done without violating the harmony.
The South Korean market is small, and many companies covet the Japanese market, and he is no exception. It's not that we don't pay attention to the Chinese market, but it's easy to enter the Chinese market, but it's difficult to gain a firm foothold and develop and expand.
That's why "Wisdom Dragon Maze" was born.
This is just an attempt, and the development cost of the mobile game is not high, even if it is a loss, it is nothing. In fact, the mobile game industry is gradually emerging, and there are many mobile games born every year, but only a few can succeed, even if the established companies are no exception.
Park Ji-hoon himself did not expect much.
However, miracles are born out of nowhere!
Just one month after its launch, "Dragon's Maze" has reached $1 million a day in sales in Japan! Park Min-ah had to go to Japan again. Park Ji-hoon had to work overtime again and again.
"A miracle in the mobile game industry!"
"$1 million a day. And that's just the beginning!"
"The new billionaire will be born this year!"
It is impossible for any star to rely on fans to consume all the time, and the work itself is the root of everything! After the release of "Wisdom Dragon Maze" in South Korea, it was relatively popular, but it was far from the momentum that "Magumagu" had when it was first released, and the media attention was not very large. As soon as the news from Japan was confirmed, the major media immediately became excited. Almost no effort is spared to make a hit.
There are many factors.
First of all, the operating costs of mobile games are small, the profits are large, and as the report says, this is just the beginning, secondly, it happened to Park Ji-hoon, which is very topical, and finally, this is the Japanese market!
Park Ji-hoon instantly became the focus of the whole of South Korea!
There are many topics, and it has successfully helped him share some of the pressure. "The Great Hidden One" has a series of achievements that have created Korean film history, which has made the obviously good results of "The Two-Faced King" bleak. Although there is no media to sing about it, there is a lot of discussion. Even with a big heart. It was impossible for him to remain completely calm. If it was okay before, during this time, he could only sleep in the office every day, which was very stressful and emotionally sensitive. "The Two-Faced King" is a work of transformation in the true sense of the word, and whether it can succeed or not has a great impact on him. Even, the new film in preparation, which is also a historical film, depends on the success of "The Two-Faced King" to decide whether to shoot it now or postpone it.
Originally, he wanted to wait for the results of "Wisdom Dragon Maze" to stabilize in Japan and then find a suitable time to release it, but the mobile game is very uncertain, and there are many idle players who come and go. However, it is not a bad thing that it has been exposed now, it has also played a publicity effect, and may also stimulate the box office and ratings of movies and TV series.
His strong self-adjustment ability is the main reason why he is able to withstand such pressure. Cha Tae-hyun once said that even if he was thrown into the primeval forest, he would be able to live a very nourishing life like Tarzan of the apes!
1 million US dollars a day, these two figures have stimulated many people's eyeballs! In the entertainment industry, he can no longer find a second place if he does a side hustle to his level.
However, in the midst of the envy and jealousy of many peers, I don't know what he had in mind, he actually refused all interviews! However, on the other hand, Park Min-ah, who was in Japan, officially came to the front of the stage as the "president of the studio".
In terms of operation and management, Park Ji-hoon has always believed that Park Min-ah is better than himself.
Park Min-ah just doesn't like to socialize, it doesn't mean that she can't, and there are not many people who don't like their profession but make amazing achievements. She also knew that it was impossible to avoid the interview this time no matter what, so in order to help Park Ji-hoon share the pressure, she took the initiative to take on this task.
In fact, she has always been managing the day-to-day work of the studio.
In the face of interviews with reporters from Japan and South Korea, she showed a demeanor that was not inferior to Park Ji-hoon, fluent Japanese, Korean, and English conversion, a strong but not sharp aura, and a precise and keen thinking...... In this era of developed Internet, overnight, she became an "international celebrity"!
Coupled with the identity of "Seoul National University School Flower", her popularity has swelled rapidly!
If it's just about the game, the heat can easily go down, but with her, the effect becomes completely different!
A large-scale, excellent, long-term, free publicity!
If they don't seize such an opportunity, Park Ji-hoon and Park Min-ah can jump directly into the Han River! At the same time, large-scale propaganda was launched in South Korea and Japan, and at the same time, a TV advertising plan was launched -- in 2012, there were very few mobile game advertisements on television.
The effect was immediate, and the sales of "Lost in the Dragon" increased at a jaw-dropping rate!
Under this trend, the attention of the media and netizens was distracted, and the pressure on Park Ji-hoon was suddenly reduced a lot. At the same time, "The Two-Faced King" has also ushered in a turning point, not a strong outburst, but "steady"! The numbers are not as dazzling as "The Great Hidden One", but they still occupy the top spot at the box office, and show a steady growth trend.
At the same time, there was the American blockbuster "Men in Black 3", the new work "Car Detective" starring Kang Zhihuan and Cheng Youli, which was once released again by the behind-the-scenes production team of the 4 million box office record work "Seventh-level Civil Servant", and Park Bo-young's return after "Speeding Scandal" "Unidentified Image: Absolutely Forbidden to Click". There is a work "The Taste of Money" shortlisted for this year's Cannes Film Festival...... But. No movie can shake the title of "The Two-Faced King"!
June 12th. The fifth episode of "Please Answer 1997" "The Counterattack of Life" and the sixth episode "Love Makes Us Unprecedented" were broadcast, and the ratings soared, reaching 2.87%! This result, if it is replaced by TVB, is enough to make the TV series PD and writers broadcast by the three major TVB stations at the same time embarrassed.
At the same time, the OST "All for You" sung by Park Ji-hoon and Jung Eun-di was also officially announced, and one of the major music source websites appeared on the same day, which can almost be described as "sweeping"! The results are not inferior to some first-line combinations.
Viewers of "Please Answer 1997" have already appeared on CJ M's music program "M! Countdown" left a message on its official website, calling for Park Ji-hoon and Jung Eun-di to be invited. There was a precedent, in the 2009 "Infinite Challenge" "Song World", Jessica and Park Myung-so sang "Cold Noodles" because of its popularity and appeared on the "Music Center".
In fact, there is no need for the audience to leave a message, "M! Countdown" had already tried to invite Park Ji-hoon and Jung Eun-di to star as early as when they saw the results of "All for You". But the problem is that the first invitation was rejected by Park Ji-hoon on the grounds of "lack of time". He is the only one who will do this, and many singers and groups from small companies have no chance to appear on music programs when they debut. Countdown doesn't have any temper yet. Leave a message whenever he has time before the end of "Please Answer 1997"!
Because this is Park Ji-hoon's first time, and most likely the only time!
June 2012. Marked with a symbol - Park Ji-hoon!
......
It wasn't until mid-June that Park finally had time to breathe.
Park Min-ah is busy in Japan and doesn't have time to return to China, so how can he be idle? In half a month, he has to sort out and plan all the work, which makes the staff of the studio amazing!
Luckily, Berlin is finally nearing completion, and it's only about a week to go.
It was noon, coming back from the set.
After taking off his shoes, he didn't change into slippers and went directly into the living room barefoot. Accumulated stress needs to be vented, and even a little bit can make him feel relaxed.
I thought I could handle it, but the results of "Lost Dragon" are really good! Now it's not $1 million in sales a day, it's $1.5 million a day! On the basis of $1 million, every little increase is a great progress.
The living room was clean, apparently cleaned frequently, and there was a plate of apples on the coffee table. The bathroom door was open, and there was a faint movement.
I didn't hear the shower, and the door was open again, so Park Ji-hoon walked in with confidence.
Yuri is doing laundry.
Hot pants, tank top, hair tied up in a high ponytail, squatting, looking from behind, very attractive! The mobile phone is inserted in the pocket behind the hot pants, wearing headphones, listening to songs, and humming softly, it is the ost "All for You" of "Please Answer 1997"!
"It's such a coincidence, it can't be a single loop, right?" Park Ji-hoon thought as he stepped forward and gently pressed her head.
"Ahh
"oppa?" After being pulled by Park Ji-hoon's arm, he recognized him, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"
"Come back to sleep. Park Ji-hoon said with a smile while looking at the clothes in the basin.
"Don't look!" Yu Lili blushed and hurriedly covered his eyes with her frothy hands.
"Uh! I thought it was for me to wash. Park Ji-hoon said with some embarrassment. What needs to be washed by hand is naturally underwear, and Yuli has been living here during this time to help "take care of the house".
"I'm not Minya!" Yuri blocked his gaze before lowering her hand and pouting. However, after saying that, after a pause, he added in a very casual tone: "Anyway, it's a wash, and if you need to wash it, take it out quickly!" (To be continued. )
