I want to ask you a few questions about the brand orientation of Dahua Westward Journey and its subsequent content update orientation.
Anqu.com: Dahua has spent 15 birthdays. With the change of the times, Dahua has moved with the times from end game to mobile game. How do you feel in the past 15 years?

With Dahua IP as the core, it has a product matrix including Dahua 2-end Tour, Dahua Mobile Tour and Dahua Hot blooded Edition, with hundreds of millions of Dahua enthusiasts. Among these players, many have been Dahua users for 8 or 9 years. Their trust and love for this brand is the accumulated income of Dahua Westward Journey in the past 15 years.
Anqu.com: It's not easy for a brand to last for 15 years. What makes this brand stand the test of time? What is the secret of the success of Dahua brand?

President Xiang: The mobile tour of "Dahua Westward Journey" will usher in a new annual blockbuster expansion film - "Monkey King" in October this year. It will integrate the world view of the western tour plot and play a member of the Tiangong or Huaguoshan camp for a fair fight and a fast-paced siege. And bring unique and innovative content of mobile games:
1. One thousand people on the same screen, super high degree of freedom play method: freely choose the development path, and all equipment summoning beasts are obtained in the battlefield
2. Tactics gathering in the play method, a large number of scene interaction and innovation elements: such as stronghold occupation, road destruction, resource transportation and interception, rolling element stone trap trigger, etc
3. The interior of the battlefield will simulate the real weather, and weather changes such as rain and snow will occur in the battle, increasing the realism of the battle;
4. The QTE system is used for the first time to enhance the sense of tension and scene in the battlefield;
I believe it will bring players unprecedented unique PVP experience
Anqu.com: In the future, what is the brand oriented marketing strategy of Dahua?
Xiang Zong: Dahua Westward Journey carries the youth and emotion of hundreds of millions of players. In order to show the player culture in an all-round and three-dimensional way, Dahua brand has been investing in pan entertainment for many years. At present, we are trying to develop the form of animation, comics, and TV series to build a brand pyramid in a more "pan entertainment" way, and constantly strengthen the power of this IP through the product matrix. At present, the cartoon of Dahua Westward Journey has entered the production process. The first season is named Dahua Youth Journey, and the top animation writers and production teams in China have been invited to participate in it, seamlessly linking the game story and 3D characters. At the same time, the script creation of TV plays is also going on smoothly, keeping close contact with the screenwriter all the time, and adding the element of crossing on the basis of retaining the essence of the Dahua culture.
At the same time, the next stop of Dahua Westward Journey brand IP is to build a more open Dahua ecosystem. Dahua will cooperate with brands such as Netease Cloud Music, Netease Yanxuan, Yijian, China Post, China Merchants Bank, and Premier to bring more yuan of content to players.
