.,!

Because Simon was here, Shirley, who wanted to sleep and woke up naturally, insisted on getting up early with the man.

For this reason, I am a little envious of my daughter who can sleep late.

Simon checked his e-mail before breakfast and saw Nancy's e-mail, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He replied routinely and then turned to other things. Among the newspaper news sorted out by Girl A that needs Simon's attention, the most eye-catching one is the news that the sales volume of "Counter-Strike OL" exceeded 100,000 within 15 hours of its release.

Although the relevant announcements definitely have Daenerys' marketing and public relations elements, but this news is indeed worthy of being on the hot topic of current affairs.

The sales volume exceeded 100,000 within 15 hours of its release. According to the accompanying game department report, it is conservatively estimated that the sales volume in the first week can reach more than 500,000, which basically locks in the phenomenal attributes of "Counter-Strike ol".

With the news out, it's not hard to imagine, first of all, that no one in Daenerys will doubt Simon's decision anymore.

As for the total sales, compared with ordinary games, it can often be inferred more accurately based on the initial sales. For "Counter-Strike OL", once it reaches the phenomenal level, it is difficult to predict the follow-up trend.

However, even based on the conservative 500,000 sales in the first week, it will not be too difficult for the global sales to exceed 10 million.

One of the prerequisites is that Simon is no longer in a hurry to launch 4.0.

The truth is, Simon was in a hurry.

For games, Simon also hopes to achieve a saturated and comprehensive distribution model similar to the current mainstream movie promotion that stimulates the market potential as soon as possible, and reaps the most returns in the shortest time. Of course, compared with the effective theater cycle of about two months for movies, the saturated release period of games must still be longer.

Specific to "Counter-Strike OL", the time limit of Simon's plan is two years.

Two years later, 4.0 should be launched.

At that time, with the further improvement of the software and hardware environment, further improvements can be made to the charging model, such as adding item charges.

Now, it depends on the situation.

If the game is still so popular two years later, Simon will not forcefully introduce new ones. After all, the follow-up sales of 35 million U.S. dollars in 2.0 can be given up, but if it is 350 million U.S. dollars, there is no need to consider how to choose.

Therefore, Simon once again thought of the joke that the diehard fan encouraged players to play pirated versions.

One of the reasons why the sales of "Counter-Strike OL" is so good this time is that piracy is basically eliminated.

Any player, unless he is willing to play single player all the time, as long as he wants to use the online mode, he must use the activation code purchased with money to activate, and an activation code can only be used once. After activation, the account is directly bound and wants to share It's impossible.

As for situations like Microsoft systems or popular software where the activation code is cracked, it is easy to prevent it when you are connected to the Internet.

Because this game is mainly sold on Westeros system platforms such as Igret’s steam mall, Daenerys’ official game mall, and Tinkber imac’s software mall, if the player’s account has no actual consumption, the game will To be activated, for Daenerys, it is actually clear at a glance.

One of the most important reasons why all kinds of software can be cracked is the same as stand-alone games, the key lies in the "stand-alone" and not being connected to the Internet.

All in all, the conservative sales forecast of tens of millions means that "Counter-Strike ol" is expected to bring nearly 700 million US dollars in revenue to the game department in the next two years. For software, as the sales volume increases, the average cost will only become more diluted. Therefore, even if there is only 700 million US dollars of 10 million sales, the gross profit will reach more than 500 million.

This level of revenue and profit has reached a very conspicuous level in Daenerys Entertainment's financial report.

Simon has been promoting the game business to become the next growth point for Daenerys Entertainment after reaching the ceiling in film and television. Now, just one "Counter-Strike OL" with tens of millions of sales can become Daenerys Entertainment's future. A strong support for continued growth.

Shirley served the breakfast herself, and Simon, who quickly wrote some notes and handed them to Girl A, temporarily stopped working.

In the afternoon, an impromptu video conference with Los Angeles will be arranged to discuss more details related to "Counter-Strike ol".

When Shirley sat down together, feeling the faint fragrance from the woman, Simon remembered something and asked, "Why didn't you go back to China with them this time?"

Having received an invitation from CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala earlier, a group of girls from the Guofeng Art Troupe had returned to China some time ago and began rehearsing for the 1998 Spring Festival Gala.

Because it is a pre-determined project, it is actually very easy here. It takes a year and a half for others to prepare a program. The girls of the Guofeng Art Troupe only need to participate in the last three months of rehearsals, and they mainly work with the Spring Festival Gala team. "Caiwei" is very familiar to most girls.

Due to the relationship with Simon, Shirley has gradually become the daily director of the Guofeng Art Troupe when Chen Qing is away. The Spring Festival Gala has a high status in the minds of a generation of Chinese people, and it is a great honor to be able to participate. Shirley did not go back to China this time, which really made Simon a little confused.

Seeing the man asking about it, Shirley felt a little guilty. She had participated in various domestic cultural programs in the past, and knew all about them. Even though the Guofeng Art Troupe is special and has all kinds of green lights, as the person in charge, if she really has to go back together, she will definitely have to work hard.

She is used to the comfort now, so she doesn't want to make such a fuss.

So stay in the US altogether.

The man had to answer the question. After a short pause, Xueli quickly said: "The girls are already familiar with "Caiwei", so I don't need to follow suit, and I am better at the Tang Yun theme that is being rehearsed here. .Simon, about Tang Yun, we have done a few dances, do you want to watch it today?"

After the "Book of Songs" and the world tour, Simon arranged a second theme for the Guofeng Art Troupe, named "Tang Yun". Basically, it is to arrange a series of brand-new dances based on the historical and cultural background of the Tang Dynasty.

Specific requirements, no.

In fact, it is better not to let a group of goblins be too idle.

Make trouble at leisure.

Simon just mentioned it casually, and didn't mean to go into it. As long as the women around him don't steal men, everything else doesn't matter. Hearing what she said at the end, he shook his head: "Next time I have a chance. I'm going back to Manhattan after breakfast. I still have more today." matter."

Shirley hummed without asking further questions.

It is not for her to meddle in the affairs of the men around her, and women have always been responsible for this.

After breakfast, it was less than eight o'clock, but Simon didn't stay long, and flew to Manhattan by helicopter early.
