When the streamer was slaughtering Templar Knights in various ways, there were especially many cheers in the live stream room!
However, when the streamer was forced to fight back against the assassins chasing her, the audience also hurled insults without mercy... In any case, his popularity increased.
This can be considered a case of "being both famous and infamous."
However, the hidden path of being at odds with the world is far too difficult.
Even the strongest character is vulnerable to being attacked indiscriminately. A bunch of NPCs rush in, each wielding a blade, and the protagonist is practically dead.
The combat system in Assassin's Creed is incredibly cool and visually appealing, but the difficulty level is also quite high.
The streamer is indeed very skilled, but not to the point of being invincible. At least... he has been taught a lesson by Phantom Odin many times.
That's right, as this storyline progresses, even Phantom Odin joins the hunt for him! He's practically abandoned by both gods and men!
This streamer can never beat Odin, so his current solution is to avoid him.
If you encounter Odin, just put down your sword and wait to die. Anyway, once you're resurrected, you can avoid this route. There's always a way to survive and push this storyline forward!
On two occasions, the streamer managed to hold out against Phantom Odin for quite a while, and at first glance, it seemed like they were evenly matched.
This led many viewers who were not entirely sincere to decide to follow him first, since there are plenty of people who stream "Way of Assassins," but it's extremely rare to see someone stream being chased by Odin, the Great Demon King.
Some people in the live stream also said:
[Good technique, but too bad you're a monster... Let's try a different route, I'll send you landmines!]
[The "enemy of the world" route, huh? That's pretty impressive.]
[With such talent, why not go pro and make a name for yourself instead of staying here as a small-time streamer? Haha]
That's how online buzz works; it won't go down anytime soon.
Blue Star Studio is very familiar with this process, and most of them have been in a semi-rest state this week.
Yes, just like Mingyan, many people have also become obsessed with watching their own game's live stream.
—What?! There's some flattery? Quick, take a picture and record it!
—What? The streamer is crying her eyes out? Film that, film that too!
For some reason, seeing players cry gives them a sense of accomplishment, and they can't help but smile knowingly.
I really couldn't help myself!
Although both are at the tail end of the game cycle, Mingyan's leisurely pace is different from the others.
He had many things to deal with, the most pressing being those people coming to his door to buy IP addresses...
These days, there are just too many people vying for the "Assassin's Way" IP! It's an exponential increase compared to the previous few games!
This is, of course, caused by a variety of reasons:
First of all, "The Way of the Assassin" has a very novel theme and can be considered a positive adaptation of history, making it very suitable for film and television adaptations;
Secondly, this game has a huge player base, including casual gamers, and they are all deeply moved by it. It's conceivable that a movie or similar film adaptation won't be released for another year or two, at which point it will be a perfect opportunity to rehash the game and capitalize on nostalgia for a massive wave of marketing.
Finally, the storyline of Blue Star is highly acclaimed; the last adaptation was "Blue Star Apocalypse," which also garnered a lot of tears...
With successful precedents to follow, this is the most standard high-quality investment in the business world!
Driven by the obvious promise of great wealth, businessmen were practically willing to risk everything, and they all came to Blue Star Studio to express their determination.
Mingyan really wanted to decline, because they themselves had no plans to make a sequel to "The Way of the Assassin," or even a prequel.
Selling IP?
They don't need that kind of money on Earth right now, there's no need for it.
Holding this IP in your own hands is also a great way to cultivate nostalgia. If a sequel or even a series is released, it will become a golden brand.
Selling is out of the question; cooperation is still negotiable.
The collaboration will help develop this IP into a series of works, further enhance its popularity, and at the same time, better preserve the classic...
However, it's still a bit too far off to think about that now.
While politely declining each offer, he stuffed his pockets full of business cards offered by various parties.
He was still reviewing Blue Star Studio's financial statements.
You might not believe it, but if you exclude the profits from the newly released Assassin's Creed, BlueStar Studios' biggest profit right now comes from League of Legends...
Yes, League of Legends, the game that was launched when Blue Star was first established.
Now in its seventh season, it is truly a mainstay in the gaming world.
The scariest thing is that it's still growing!
This was something that caught many people off guard, and perhaps only Mingyan had some expectation of it.
In its first year, League of Legends operated at a loss; in its second year, it turned a little profitable; in its third year, it became a golden goose; and in its fourth year, it was a money tree showering everyone with profits…
Now in its seventh year, perhaps only the "Kunpeng" (a mythical bird) can describe the economic scale of League of Legends.
According to the financial settlement for the first half of this year, it brought Lanxing direct sales of 89.777 billion yuan, and net profit reached about 60 billion yuan, accounting for about 80% of all Lanxing's income.
What does this mean? Just from taxes alone, Blue Star has contributed nearly 10 billion to the Sixth Star Province!
