Chapter 213 A Real Collaboration for Once?
After uploading the video for review, Gu Yu and two others went to a nighttime café to chat.
Originally, they were discussing Yu Xiaochuan's experience as an Up host, but somehow the topic shifted to gaming and entertainment.
Yu Xiaochuan did not mention that he had created a new account called "Lao Chuan Talks Games." Instead, he discussed the pros and cons of Life Restart Simulator,
His analysis was spot-on, and Gu Yu nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Unexpectedly, alongside Yu Xiaochuan's impressive street photography and people's entertainment, his insights into gaming were also quite perceptive.
Many of his views were the same as those discussed internally at Ideal Paradise.
Especially regarding how the simulator's popularity was declining and its profitability would not last.
Gu almost stood up to applaud him; this was the biggest issue Ideal Paradise was currently facing.
The simulator's profitability was not sustainable, which is why they had swiftly developed a new game, Summoning God Dragon.
The idea was to capitalize on the simulator's remaining heat before it completely cooled off.
"You're absolutely right, which is why we at Ideal Paradise have now developed a new casual game that will go live on Shengda in about three days,"
Gu Yu was amazed by Yu Xiaochuan's insights and didn't hold back, revealing that Ideal Paradise had a new game about to be launched.
He wasn't worried about leaking company information. If Yu Xiaochuan were to expose this, it could even preheat the new game!
He actually intended to hire someone to promote the game at the onset, similar to how they had hired Jingchuan Xiaoyu and Jiang Yuxin to promote the simulator.
The effect was very good.
But there was a problem, he couldn't ask Jiang Yuxin again since last time it was purely a favor in return.
Gu Yu didn't think his favors were that valuable; asking one or two more times might mean selling himself to Jiang Yuxin.
So, he was considering paying Jiang Yuxin for promotion, which would definitely be a big expenditure.
Not to mention half a million, even tens or twenty thousand could likely be demanded.
After all, it wasn't just about shooting a promotional video; they hadn't made preparations like during the simulator's launch.
If they really asked Jiang Yuxin to promote again, they would definitely need professional services.
Planning, operations, and public relations all have to be arranged.
Otherwise, spending the money wouldn't sit right with him.
The benefits must be maximized, the effects maximized.
While thinking about how to discuss this with Jiang Yuxin, on the other side, Yu Xiaochuan's eyes twinkled with excitement.
"What? Your company is releasing a new game?"
Yu Xiaochuan asked without hesitating.
Ideal Paradise is releasing a new game?
Isn't this first-hand news for him?
If he released this, wouldn't it be breaking news?
Even though he knew it would bring him tremendous benefits, Yu Xiaochuan still suppressed the urge to disclose it right away.
Because such a matter definitely needed Gu Yu's personal approval.
If he released this kind of confidential company information on his own, he would be in a no-win situation.
"That's right, there is a new game, and like the previous Life Restart Simulator, it is also a fast-paced casual game,"
Gu Yu was frank and nodded straightforwardly.
Upon hearing Gu Yu confirm it again, Yu Xiaochuan was so thrilled he almost jumped up.
Was he about to get new material?
He knew that his new account, Lao Chuan Talks Games, made a killing from the review video of Life Restart Simulator.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
In less than a month since its inception, the fan count reached a quarter of his main account!
And he had been running his main account for two years!
That shows how sticky the gaming community's fans can be!
Based solely on three review videos of Life Restart Simulator, he had managed to fulfill his dream of moving to a new rental house and setting up his personal editing studio.
Unfortunately, after he posted all the videos about Life Restart Simulator, he ran out of content to share.
Fans urged him daily to update, leaving him no choice but to look for games in similarly "niche genres."
However, without exception, the response wasn't very good, and there were even fans who privately asked if someone else had taken over his account.
Yu Xiaochuan was at a loss for words, it wasn't that he had changed; it's just that Ideal Paradise wasn't releasing new games.
He couldn't keep rehashing content from the simulator every day, could he?
That would only tarnish his new account's reputation, so, out of sheer desperation, he had no choice but to temporarily announce a hiatus.
To focus on making money with his main account.
After all, coming across a game like the simulator was purely good luck.
Luck is such an elusive thing, it might bring you to a peak and then plunge you to the bottom right afterward.
Yu Xiaochuan was upset for a long time, even feeling like he lacked the talent to be a game content creator on UP.
But seeing his three videos gain two hundred thousand followers, he couldn't accept it.
He definitely wasn't untalented, it was because the current small games weren't good.
Today, Gu Yu actually told him that Ideal Paradise was about to launch a new game!
How could he not be excited? This was his cash cow!
"You seem pretty excited, got any ideas?"
Watching Yu Xiaochuan sitting there, unable to hide his joy, his butt slightly wriggling.
Gu Yu looked at him with a puzzled face, what's with him?
Why is he so excited about Ideal Paradise releasing a new game?
Could it be that he is a devoted fan of Life Restart Simulator, eager to play the new game?
"Ah! Nothing special, just that I'm a fan of your company and really look forward to your new games," Yu Xiaochuan hurriedly sat upright and explained earnestly.
But seeing Gu Yu's skeptical look, he hesitated for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and logged into the account he used for discussing games as Lao Chuan.
"Actually, I have another account where I make videos for the gaming sector, but it doesn't have many fans. Only two hundred and seventy thousand."
"All thanks to your release of Life Restart Simulator that I could achieve such results!"
"So I pay great attention to your company's games!"
Yu Xiaochuan couldn't hold back his emotions any longer, and passionately pointed to his new account to lay bare his thoughts.
He was also a bit nervous inside.
After all, he had edited the simulator's videos without getting Gu Yu's consent.
What if Gu Yu took this opportunity to demand compensation?
But he clearly thought too poorly of Gu Yu.
Gu Yu didn't care at all about him using the simulator as material for his videos.
On the contrary, Gu Yu was very happy.
So Yu Xiaochuan had actually helped promote the simulator!
Seeing the three simulator-related videos on the Lao Chuan Talks Games account each boasting a million views, Gu Yu couldn't help feeling emotional.
No wonder the simulator created the miracle of a million active users daily on the Shengda Mobile Game Platform.
This was the result of "collaborative" efforts!
"Impressive! Each video got a million views!"
"How about it, senior, are you interested in having a real collaboration with us at Ideal Paradise?"
"I can give you direct access to the new game's beta testing, and even allow you to broadcast content about our new game on the platform."
"Of course, my aim in doing this is to generate buzz for the new game!"
While watching the videos about the simulator, Gu Yu began discussing the possibility of collaboration with Yu Xiaochuan.
Yu Xiaochuan was startled, a real collaboration?
