The reason why penguin game chose the protagonist of "strange man of mountains and seas" to become the "hero" in its MoBa mobile game is not only because the cartoon is very well-known, but also because it has a certain relationship with Meng fan.
The MoBa mobile game is one of the first games to participate in the e-sports event of the Asian Games. It was an exhibition event at the Asian Games in 2018, and now it is determined to become a competition event of the 2202 Hangzhou Asian Games. From the exhibition event to the main event, it also marks the hope of entering the Olympic Games in the near future.
Of course, this has experienced many twists and turns.
The Asian Games in 18 years was the first time that E-sports was on the stage of the Asian Games. It was definitely a carnival for E-sports fans all over Asia. Let alone others, at that time, E-sports was crazy and popular on Weibo.
However, just in the carnival and longing, at the beginning of the 19th year, the Hangcheng Asian organizing committee officially announced the holding time of the 19th Hangcheng Asian Games in 2202 and the list of 37 competitive sports that have been determined so far, but E-sports did not appear!
This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for E-sports fans!
Fortunately, when it was announced at that time, it didn't say anything dead. It just said that "it has been determined at present" and also mentioned that the Asian organizing committee will also discuss the setting of follow-up projects with the Asian Olympic Council and the Chinese Olympic Committee in accordance with the project attributes and setting principles. At least there is a little hope.
For example, in the previous 18 Asian Games, E-sports was not announced as a performance event until a few months before the opening of the event. Therefore, it seems to some people that there is still hope until the last moment.
At that time, the domestic and international environment was indeed good for E-sports. For example, the International Olympic Committee identified E-sports as a formal sports event, for example, Huaxia identified e-athletes as a career. In addition, the development of E-sports at home and abroad, including the economic value created and the number of participants, was at a new high every year.
Of course, there are also some pessimistic ones. One of them says that the partner of the Asian Games in Hangzhou is Ali sports, and most of the games of E-sports events are from penguins. Therefore, I think it is impossible for Ali to sing for penguins. There may be hope for the next Asian Games or a higher-level event, e-sports, but this time it is definitely out of the question.
For E-sports fans, it was a very difficult period before October of 20 years. During this period, there were some bad news for the entry of E-sports into Asia. For example, the president of the German Olympic Committee pointed out at a meeting that E-sports has adverse factors such as discrimination and murder, which seriously violates the Olympic spirit. For example, E-sports has no unified standards, rules and other issues, and is not suitable to become a medal project, for example
Fortunately, the situation of E-sports is getting better and better. Coupled with the rush of Huo Qigang, chairman of the Asian Sports Federation, in October of 20 years, Hangzhou Asian organizing committee announced the follow-up supplementary competition items at the latest press conference, and e-sports, as a major event, is in it!
Although, it is not as good as the first said that E-sports will appear in the Asian Games as a formal competition project, and it will still participate as a performance project as in the last 18 years, but even so, it is also a carnival for E-sports fans, a "afterlife" Carnival.
Insiders are well aware of the difficulties of the game. Entering Asia is the premise of entering the Olympic Games, and it is the first stage. Although the first step is not taken well after the second step, standing still is much better than retreating. Moreover, standing still is also a kind of progress. It has become a performance project twice, which not only increases the resume of E-sports as a formal project of the Asian Games, but also increases the possibility of "E-sports entering the Olympic Games".
Of course, the road of "E-sports entering the Olympic Games" is very difficult. It took 15 years to declare E-sports as a formal sport from 2003 in China to become an Asian Games performance project. The next step will certainly be very difficult. As for how much time it will take, with the progress of science and technology and the gradual improvement of E-sports rules and standards, I believe it is not far away!
In other words, the e-sports project that has entered the 20-year Hangzhou Asian Games this time still has Penguin games, including the MoBa mobile game that wants to set the male host of "strange man of mountains and seas" as "hero", and the characters written by the Olympic hardware King become "Heroes" in the game. Such things are in line with today's E-sports into the Asian environment, which is of course something Penguin games really want to promote.
If, if Meng fan is willing, they want to use Meng fan as a prototype to make a game character!
Also mentioned with Meng fan, Meng fan certainly can't agree. Crazy, if you really want to be made into a game character, you must die millions of times every day! It's also necessary to be analyzed, studied, roast, and how to respond to people. The key is not necessary.
The protagonist of "strange man of mountains and seas" is still OK, which can also increase the popularity of comics. In addition, penguin game gives a lot of money. Although Meng fan is quite familiar with the rival game and knows that the game has a strong gold absorption ability, it is still a little unexpected. The first year's 10 million buyout fee (five years for one-time signing, one year for payment, and an annual increase of 1 million buyout fee) really exceeded Meng fan's expectations.
With the development of smart phones and mobile communications, the proportion of mobile games in games has become more and more important, and the economic value and influence created are naturally growing. No matter how mobile games MoBa games are despised by traditional e-sports, no one can ignore the development speed of mobile games E-sports.
This cooperation is win-win, so the negotiation went smoothly, and both of them put forward some supplementary conditions, such as requiring some platform resources on penguin to prepare for other publicity in the future, and the setting of game characters and skin needs the consent of Meng fan, etc; Rebi Meng fan needs to participate in the game at least five times in five years, including the performance or award of the Professional League finals (the activity fee is paid separately); wait.
As for sending all heroes, all skin and all Ming Wen, including any hero and skin accounts in the future, this kind of thing is certainly not worth appearing in this office. Zhang Wai, who came to stroll with his colleagues, strolled out a dozen times. Just send wechat or penguin to the docking staff at that time, and you can bind at any time.
It didn't take long to talk about it. Of course, such a big cooperation can't sign the contract on the spot. There are still some details to talk about. Meng fan also needs professional people, including lawyers, to be present.
Before Meng fan finished, Wang Yanan also had a good talk, and then he directly returned to Hangzhou. With Shi Shiwu, he will go to Hangzhou to record programs and complete the production of the last part of Meng fan's personal album.
