Chapter 433

"Putting everything else aside, Chen Mo's appearance is truly enough to make one understand why 'meeting Yang Guo once in a lifetime is enough to ruin one's life' for Guo Xiang."

"Chen Mo is finally going to act in a period drama again!"

"Louis Koo's version of Gu Gu Tianle is too hard to surpass; to be honest, whether Chen Mo can act it well is still a question."

"I hope they don't ruin the original work."

Most fans and viewers are still looking forward to Chen Mo starring in a martial arts drama, and even believe that Chen Mo's appearance is very suitable for a young hero.

It's just that Jin Yong's novels are too classic, and there are many book fans.

Quite a few fans of the original work are afraid that the TV adaptation will turn into something unrecognizable, completely ruining the original, and they are not optimistic about this remake.

This is very normal; basically, every TV series adapted from a novel will be questioned by fans of the original work, and the true evaluation can only be obtained after it is filmed.

In short, the discussion on the internet is very heated.

The film crew hasn't even finished preparations, yet the buzz for *The Return of the Condor Heroes* has already risen.

……

While the Mo Mo Company is still preparing for the casting and crew setup of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, on the other side, the Communications Group, with Chen Fu's investment, has already developed two games.

They are *Speed* and *Dance*, respectively.

These two games are actually imitations of the South Korean games *Crazyracing Kartrider* and *Audition Online*.

The popularity of these two games on the internet is very high.

Especially when you walk into an internet cafe, you can see young people with dyed, colorful hair sitting inside, frantically tapping on their keyboards.

They are the two most popular games at the moment.

Taking advantage of this heat, Brother Ma launched *Dance* and *Speed* in one go.

He believes that *Dance* and *Speed* will definitely be more popular than *Crazyracing Kartrider* and *Audition Online* in the future.

After all, *Crazyracing Kartrider* and *Audition Online* are South Korean games; the game interface and aesthetics are more inclined towards South Korean tastes, and registering and using accounts is quite troublesome.

Especially game top-ups, which require entering other interfaces to complete.

*Speed* and *Dance* are different.

As long as you have a Communications Penguin ID, you can log in to the game directly, which is very convenient; top-ups only require Penguin Coins, which can be used in all Communications games.

Moreover, the aesthetics are more in line with those of the Chinese people.

Most importantly, Communications has a larger audience, so there are more people playing the games.

These two games are called competitive games, but to put it bluntly, they are also social games.

Many teenagers are socializing through the virtual avatars in these two games and are also willing to spend more money to dress up their virtual avatars.

It will just take time to completely compete against these two South Korean games.

Once launched, the two games became huge hits.

But immediately following that came reports and controversies from various media outlets.

"Two games under the Communications Group look like South Korean games; is it a coincidence or plagiarism?"

"China finally develops a hit game; no need to look forward to foreign games anymore."

"South Korean game company accuses Communications of plagiarism."

"Communications' latest games trigger collective obsession among teenagers."

The controversy surrounding *Dance* and *Speed* is very large, with praise and criticism split down the middle...

Even so, the number of registered users for *Dance* and *Speed* continues to grow.

……

"Mo Mo, that South Korean game company has started targeting *Dance* and *Speed* with suppression tactics."

The investment in the two games is huge, and Brother Ma is constantly monitoring the dynamics of *Crazyracing Kartrider* and *Audition Online*.

Recently, because of the launch of *Dance* and *Speed*, *Audition Online* and *Crazyracing Kartrider* have launched many activities to increase user stickiness.

It is clearly targeting *Dance* and *Speed*.

"That's simple; we just need to do activities too, and then buy music copyrights and increase the character design options in the game."

Chen Mo didn't take the South Korean game company very seriously.

Brother Ma thought the same way.

Communications directly started pouring money and promotion into the two games.

For music games like *Dance*, Brother Ma directly bought the copyrights to hit songs from various countries and added more character designs than *Audition Online*.

For racing games like *Speed*, they focused directly on the cars; not only are the car appearances more realistic, but the tracks are also more authentic.

Many young people were indeed more attracted to these two games.

Except for some old players of *Crazyracing Kartrider* and *Audition Online*, almost all new players jumped straight into *Dance* and *Speed*.

The initial capital invested in the games was quickly recouped, and Communications' stock also rose quite a bit.

……

Chen Mo left all matters regarding Communications to Brother Ma to handle.

*CJ7* entered the final filming stage, the entire crew's actors were very serious, and Chen Mo also stayed with the crew every day, waiting for the final scenes to finish filming.

At the same time, the crew for *The Return of the Condor Heroes* began preparations.

Besides the two leads, Chen Mo and Liu Liu Yifei, being confirmed, the other actors were all chosen from within the Mo Mo Company.

Basically, they chose veteran actors and those with good acting skills.

After the casting was finished, the costumes, makeup, and props for the crew were also mostly ready.

They were just waiting for Chen Mo to finish up here.
