Newcomers are always so loud and boisterous... It's just a small game that we've agreed to.
The editor-in-chief let out a weak sigh and looked up, asking, "Have you discussed profit sharing?"
The intern editor exclaimed excitedly, "We've got it! 10%!"
Editor-in-Chief: "..."
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Even more gullible than fresh-faced students are interns who haven't even graduated yet.
The only redeeming quality of this intern is that he is enthusiastic and works very hard.
He was the first to find Mingyan's contact number, which shows he has the ability.
However, there's no way to change the commission issue. The email expressing interest has already been sent out using the official account, so there's basically no going back on it.
A 10% commission rate... even on a small platform like Feiyang, this is rare.
The editor-in-chief frowned, glanced at the game graphics of "Minecraft", and finally sighed and admitted defeat: "10% is fine. This kind of garbage graphics that fools children... the sales will probably be so-so, barely breaking even."
The intern hesitated before asking, "What about the featured spot?"
"You got 10% for a small piece of work, and you still want a featured spot!" the editor-in-chief roared at him. "Let it fend for itself!! We don't have resources for you to waste like this! You're going to write a 10,000-word self-criticism today! Remember this, this is your first and last serious mistake since you started working!!"
The intern came out with a long face and then turned on his computer.
The editor-in-chief is currently overwhelmed and extremely busy, but interns still have some free time.
So he was able to browse social media and forums, and saw many people talking about "Minecraft".
Ever since the streamer "Juliet" became an overnight sensation because of that video, many smaller streamers immediately started following suit and streaming "Minecraft," sparking another huge trend.
The game isn't very popular yet, but that's because it hasn't been officially released.
A graduation project that's only available for download a few thousand times a day has garnered such high attention, and the growth rate is exponential...
The intern bit her lip.
Maybe he really didn't have much experience, but he just couldn't believe that Minecraft would be a hit! A huge hit!
Thinking of this, he silently opened the backend.
There's nothing he can do if the platform's editor-in-chief doesn't recommend resources.
But at least within his scope of responsibility, there is a "Editor's Pick" section at the very bottom.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.
Mingyan just received a sum of money.
The prize money for the winning graduation project has been awarded, totaling 20,000 yuan to Mingyan.
This sum of 20,000 yuan is neither a large nor a small amount.
Using that money to fund the development of the next game is definitely a drop in the bucket; it all depends on how much revenue Minecraft ultimately brings to Mingyan.
However, before developing a new game, there is one necessary preparatory step—
Mingyan took the 20,000 yuan and went to the relevant departments twice to register a studio.
The name is: Blue Star Digital Media Studio.
The logo was also drawn by himself. He said his artistic talent was average, so he used vector elements to draw a blue Earth—well, you can barely make out the seven continents and four oceans.
Consider this a way of commemorating the past of this old fossil.
In this day and age, small studios like these are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and they can hardly make a ripple.
The staff member, yawning, handed Mingyan the materials and said, "Registered capital of 20,000 yuan, go through the regular channel. Once the AI approves it, you can set up the signboard tomorrow. Come back next week to pick up the electronic certificate."
"Okay, thank you." Mingyan took a certificate.
Blue Star Studio was established on this day!
There was no camera recording, no ribbon-cutting ceremony, and not even a third person knew about it.
Only after Mingyan walked out the door did he take out his phone and post a blog entry.
[A small achievement: Blue Star Studio is officially established. Thank you for your support.]
The number of comments below started to increase slowly, but there weren't many.
Mingyan is currently just a very small influencer, and people's impression of him is "that student who created Minecraft".
That night, Mingyan worked overtime and finally finished the official version of Minecraft v2.0.
In addition to the original game content, he added a large amount of beginner tutorials.
Minecraft has outstanding gameplay, but it is not very beginner-friendly and requires guidance from experienced players.
After adding a complete tutorial to the game, Mingyan also added an in-game list where players can view recipes, which greatly improved the experience for new players.
The clean version of this game is already quite complete.
It's like planting a seed; once you've done the watering and fertilizing, all you have to do is wait patiently for it to bloom.
After finishing his work, it was already late. Mingyan lay in bed and looked through today's blog.
