Chapter 144: One Knife 999
"Mr. Chen, this is a contract with Actoz. ”
"Wang Chang, you have worked hard. ”
"It's not hard, it's just a little ......"
Back in China, Wang Chang brought the contract back to the company.
"Why, just say anything. ”
Seeing that Wang Chang wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Yu asked.
"Mr. Chen, I don't understand why we spend so much money to buy only one adaptation right. ”
"Hehe, I knew you were going to ask. ”
Chen Yu asked Wang Chang to sit down and made him a cup of tea: "Come, have a cup of tea." ”
"5 million to buy the rights to adapt the legend is indeed a bit expensive, but this deal is still very cost-effective. You listen to me slowly, first, now the legend is so popular, it can be said that when it comes to games, everyone will mention legends, and legends can even be said to be synonymous with games. If we develop a game of the same genre as Legend, we can save a lot of money on publicity, and we can also take advantage of the popularity of Legend to attract some users for us. ”
"That's what I said, but it doesn't have to be adapted to the legend that our game will become popular?"
"No, I can guarantee that our first game will definitely be a hit. ”
"Uh......"
Wang Chang burst into tears.
It was the first time she had seen such an unreasonable Chen Yu.
"Mr. Chen, you are too domineering. ”
"It's not overbearing, it's that we have the strength. ”
Chen Yu replied with great confidence: "Of course, if it's just this, we can't spend 5 million." In the future, we will rely on the adaptation rights of the legend, and we can also adapt the web version of the legend and the mobile game version. ”
"The web version, which allows you to play the game only through the web page?"
"That's right. ”
"It can't be. ”
"Of course, it is not possible with the current technology and Internet speed, but not necessarily in the future. You are a technical student, and if cloud service technology emerges in the future, we can also play large-scale client games through the web page. ”
Wang Chang was stunned.
In this way, it is still theoretically feasible.
I was a little embarrassed in my heart, I graduated from the Computer Department of Wuhan University, how could I not compare to Mr. Chen.
"So what is the mobile version?"
"It's a legendary mobile game. ”
"Can you play online games on your phone?"
The answer is yes, even in the future, our Internet age will be replaced by mobile phones. ”
Thinking about the playful Blue Moon endorsed by a lot of celebrities such as 999 and Slag Hui in later generations, it is really terrifying.
Although these games are very bad, but, relying on such a legend, they have made billions of dollars by playing Blue Moon.
5 million for a multi-billion market, no matter how it is calculated, it is cost-effective.
Even if you don't play with Blue Moon yourself, selling it to others is a reward of dozens or hundreds of times.
Of course, it's not just that.
Another huge benefit of getting the rights to adapt the legend is that the game developed does not have to pay Actoz a royalty. This is also what Chen Yu said to Wang Chang before, even if the agency fee is increased, the share must be reduced. No matter how expensive the agency fee and copyright fee are, it is just a one-shot deal, and you will not give any more money after you pay a sum. If you have to pay a share every month, even if you pay 1% of the share, Chen Yu will be in pain.
"Mr. Chen, your idea is too exaggerated. ”
Will the Internet be replaced by mobile phones?
Wang Chang shook his head, how is this possible?
Unless the world changes and is no longer the earth, the Internet will become more and more popular.
Knowing that Wang Chang couldn't understand it, Chen Yu didn't say much.
This kind of future smartphone era, let alone Wang Chang, is now even Jobs can't imagine it.
"Well, let's not talk about that, the copyright has been purchased back, and it is impossible for Actoz to return the money to us. What we have to think about now is to develop an online game set in a saga. ”
"Mr. Chen, if we develop it, it will go back to the previous one, and the company's development strength is limited for the time being. From the development of a game to its official release, it takes at least two years. ”
This is also Wang Chang's indirect expression once again that this trip to South Korea did not achieve its goal.
But Chen Yu smiled: "Who said it will take two years." ”
With a phone call, Chen Yu called Zhang Jianming and Li Nan over.
"Wang Chang, you're back. ”
Seeing Wang Chang, Li Nan and Zhang Jianming both asked, "How is it, is it going well?"
"You ask Mr. Chen. ”
Wang Chang didn't know what Chen Yu had in mind, so he sat on the side and drank tea without speaking.
"Li Nan, Wang Chang blamed me for spending money indiscriminately, and spent 5 million to buy only one legendary adaptation right. ”
"5 million only buy one legendary adaptation right, Wang Chang doesn't blame you, I blame you. ”
Zhang Jianming was also heartbroken: "Mr. Chen, the cost of acting for a game is about 5 million now, and even if it is a more popular game, it is about 10 million." ”
"That's right, but you have to give them a royalty for a game, are you willing?"
At present, in terms of the domestic environment, agency games are still dominated by a seller's market.
No way, now as long as you have a little vision, you know that online games make money.
Even if the agent's game is not popular, as long as there are 10,000 people online at the same time, it is still a profitable business.
Everyone wants to play the game, but there are only a few games.
This doesn't have much room for negotiation for the buyer.
"But if we don't act as an agent, we don't have the strength to develop an online game for the time being. ”
"Not necessarily. ”
Chen Yu looked at Li Nan: "Li Nan, you are in charge of technology, let me ask you, if we develop an online game that is the same as the legend, how long do you say it will take." ”
"At least two years. ”
"Li Nan, no wonder you say that you are not familiar with the technology of online games, I mean, we develop an online game that is exactly the same as the legend. ”
"Exactly the same?"
"Yes. ”
"The same profession as the Battle Dao Method?"
"Same. ”
"The map is the same?"
"Same. ”
"Same equipment?"
"It's the same. ”
"Oh my God, it's plagiarism. ”
Li Nan shook his head and said.
"Who said plagiarism, we have the copyright to adapt. ”
Chen Yu patted the contract on the table: "However, although we are not plagiarizing, it is inevitable that we will be tongue-in, so let's change our picture style to our Chinese style." ”
"I see. ”
Li Nan understood this.
has already said it so clearly, if Li Nan still doesn't understand, he is stupid.
The reason why Mr. Chen bought the game adaptation copyright of the legend is that he wants to make a game that is exactly the same as the legend.
This game is like a legend except for the graphics.
Although there are some that are not authentic, it has to be said that everything is legal.
"If that's the case, we can develop this game in three months, no, two months. ”
"What am I talking about, no, isn't it just a game?"
slapped the face, Chen Yu was very satisfied.
This not only solves the problem of development difficulty, but also solves the problem of agency sharing fees.
And also laid out the problem of the legendary game of [this is a new version of the ship].
With only 5 million, killing three birds with one stone, this deal is really cost-effective.
