The transaction with Corning was carried out quietly, and the shareholder was not Zhou Fangyuan himself, but AL Investment Company, which was authorized, and it was not Beitong Glass Factory at first, it was also AL Investment, basically whether it was shares or authorization, it had to be passed from AL's side, although this could not stop the attention of the United States government, but it didn't matter, Zhou Fangyuan just added some protection means to himself, and now it looks useless, when will it be useful if it is not guaranteed, it can be regarded as prepared.

Back in China, Zhou Fangyuan first went to his crew to take a look, and the filming of the TV series was no problem, everything went very smoothly.

In the case of the movie, the journey is relatively smooth, but the assembly number is a little troublesome.

Originally, Zhou Fangyuan wanted to shoot it himself, but when Sun Jing found Feng Cannon, the other party clearly said that it was okay to make a movie, but it was not okay to bypass Huayi.

Zhou Fangyuan didn't care if he bypassed Huayi or not, at first he made movies in the hope of making money through movies, but later he found out that it was not easy to make money from movies.

The cycle is long, the cost is high, the risk is high, and the most important thing is that this thing is not a product on the assembly line, the bald and bald are falling down one by one, the movie has artistic content, no one watches the bad movie, the death compensation, the good shooting, the investment and shooting time will be more and longer, so it is too difficult to make money by making a large sum of money from the movie. At least for Zhou Fangyuan, this kind of action is the best example of more than worth the loss.

So he has now figured it out, movies are regarded as a kind of industrial layout, the film market will be very prosperous in the future, his own cinema chain is now under intense construction, and he can make a lot of money by relying on the cinema chain in the future, so it is like making a movie or something, and he doesn't want to make a lot of money, as long as he doesn't lose all his money. So for the cannon's request, Zhou Fangyuan agreed, bringing Huayi to play together, there are many benefits, at least Huayi is still the leader in the domestic entertainment company, in addition to being incomparable with the state-owned factory, in the private field, Huayi is at the level of the elder brother.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, although the film circle also values capital, but it is not easy to mix it with capital alone, especially at the foot of the Son of Heaven, a large number of resources are concentrated in the hands of a group of people centered on Huayi, and this situation will not change a little bit until at least ten years later, so for now, Zhou Fangyuan is very willing to cooperate with Huayi.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that even if he brought Huayi, there would still be a lot of trouble.

The trouble is not elsewhere, it is on Huayi.

As we all know, Huayi has two bosses, which can be regarded as brothers. The younger brother among them is really a younger brother, it stands to reason that he is such a big boss, the unspoken rules are the unspoken rules, can you not bring it to work? Zhou Fangyuan really wanted to ask him face to face.

According to Sun Jing, this person originally recommended actresses to the crew, and this movie is mainly a men's movie, even if there are female characters, it is not large, Sun Jing doesn't care whether she agrees or not, as long as her acting skills are passed, who is not used. But after recommending the actress, she came to the crew every day to "visit the class", not to mention, for a while, she actually thought about Sun Jing. When Zhou Fangyuan just heard the news, it was a rage, but fortunately, Sun Jing told him, when this younger brother pestered Sun Jing, Sun Jing immediately told him that he had gotten along with Zhou Fangyuan. Just like Zhou Fangyuan is unwilling to offend Huayi, Huayi is actually not like offending Zhou Fangyuan, after all, Yuanfang Group is not a simple entertainment company, and Yuanfang Group is involved in many fields, and if it is in a hurry, it will become very tricky.

Especially now that the Internet is becoming more and more developed, Huayi does not want to be easily offended.

So this younger brother finally reined in the precipice and immediately stopped pestering.

But do you think that's the end of it? No, it's much more than that.

I don't know what kind of madness this person is smoking, and suddenly said that he also wanted to mix a role in the movie, which made it quite difficult for the crew up and down at that time, but fortunately, the cannon came out and sent this one away.

As a result, not long after, this one appeared again, this time it was the actress who took him into the crew to go out to eat and play, came to her for dinner every day, and went out to travel every once in a while, and the filming plan of the entire crew changed again and again, Sun Jing couldn't help but call his brother, but unfortunately it was useless, and the brother couldn't control his younger brother, or he didn't listen to it, so he could only let it go.

Sun Jing was about to turn white for this crew, and when Zhou Fangyuan returned to China again, he looked at her tired appearance and was a little helpless.

"I didn't expect it to be like this, the hell knows it's so big and it's so slippery. ”

Zhou Fangyuan sighed helplessly.

Speaking of which, compared to the excellent elder brother, this younger brother is really a younger brother, and his body is full of the energy of the old and the young, as if he came out of a story painting. Maybe their family is too rich, so he has little motivation to struggle, or maybe it's a problem passed down from his ancestors?

In short, the existence of this one person has hindered the crew's shooting plans one after another, which is an indisputable fact.

"You can't figure it out?"

Sun Jing said unhappily.

"What can I do," Zhou Fangyuan was more helpless than her, "My brother can't take care of it, but I can manage it?" Okay, don't worry about him, this movie is a game, anyway, I don't expect to make a lot of money from movies." In the future, when we make movies again, we will bypass them as much as possible, this time we will mainly find a cannon to be the director, and it will be better if we don't find him in the future?"

Zhou Fangyuan could only say so.

It is probably impossible for him to entangle with the other party because of these trivial things, so that he seems to be unskilled, of course, Sun Jing also understands this, she is just a little unhappy in her heart, but she has no other ideas.

In mid-November, the new WCG was held as scheduled, and Zhou Fangyuan still did not appear, but this time, Warcraft III landed in the event as an official competition and caused quite a stir among players. The reason is simple, fun, exquisite, and playable, as long as a game meets any of these conditions, it can become popular among players. Now that several elements have been gathered, it would be intolerable if it wasn't hot.

At present, according to the statistics of the distant game, Warcraft III alone has sold more than 5 million points in China, which is almost comparable to the total sales volume of other parts of the world except for China.

Not only is the sales volume high, the number of online users is also a record high, at the peak, there were millions of players online at the same time, the server almost went down, if it wasn't for Sun Fatzi to transfer other idle servers for the first time, I'm afraid there will really be a big problem. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, and the server stuck with it.

In today's domestic game industry, distant games are definitely a big brother-level existence.

Several games have exploded, and of course there are people who hate one of them, but that's okay, there's always one you like.

Players who like real-time strategy games, there are Warcraft III and Interstellar to choose from, players who like adventure games, there are Legend and Diablo 2 to choose from, those who like turn-based games, there are Journey to the West to play, those who like to fight each other, there are Meteors, those who like casual games, and there are Plants vs. Zombies...... At present, most of the known game categories are found here in distant games, and they all belong to the boutique level, which can be imagined as attractive to players. It is said that several online game companies led by Ding Lei have secretly formed a consortium and want to fight against distant games?

Zhou Fangyuan also forgot who he listened to, it seems that they really mean this, at least recently Netyi announced that it would cooperate with Shengda and Sawman, saying that it was to develop an epoch-making online game.

But Zhou Fangyuan didn't take it to heart, first of all, the market is too big, and it is not something that a company can eat at all, not to mention anything else, let's just say that Wangyi's Fantasy Journey to the West has divided a lot of users, and some people like the Q version of the painting style, which is understandable. In fact, if he could, of course Zhou Fangyuan also hoped that he would bring out his dreams. But at that time, Yuanfang Games was only a very small company, and it had no spare energy to start more online game development plans, so it could only be cheaper. Of course, the so-called cheapness is just that they can take advantage of this gap to make a game to compete, and the legal department of Yuanfang Group has already sued Netyi and accused them of infringement.

It doesn't matter if you can win the lawsuit, the important thing is that you have to toss them without listening, who makes their dreams fit so well with their own words? Except for the different painting styles, other aspects are almost exactly the same, ordinary players don't know the story very well, so the Yuanfang Group sued it for infringement, and some players really thought that Wangyi was plagiarizing Yuanfang, so they turned against him directly, which is what makes Zhou Fangyuan the happiest.

If I don't try to win you, I just want to keep disgusting you. Of course, if he can see Ding Ti, Zhou Fangyuan will talk and laugh with the other party as if he is nothing, I believe the other party thinks the same way.

Secondly, it's the quality of the game, and Wangyi is still plagiarizing big words, but other games, it's very difficult for them to plagiarize. Of course, it is said that Wangyi does have a similar plan internally, but what's the use? As long as it is slow, it will slow down step by step, unless Wangyi can develop a phenomenal game like League of Legends or Chicken, otherwise it is just plagiarism, and they will be like this for the rest of their lives.

And Zhou Fangyuan, although it is also plagiarism, but the problem is that he is reborn, he plagiarizes all the games that have not yet appeared, in other words, in his case, the game is original, or the creativity is original, in short, the distant game can be out of the leading position for at least ten years, which is enough.

Now that we're talking about games, let's talk a little more.

As for Blizzard, the development of World of Warcraft has entered the final stage, and according to Mike's estimates, the game will be launched by the middle of next year at the latest, or even earlier, which makes Zhou Fangyuan very happy. His favorite online game is World of Warcraft, and when the previous life just came out, it was really crushing. At the same time, all the games were crushed, not only that, but even after that, there were countless games in the name of surpassing Warcraft, and those who died could no longer die, and Warcraft was still alive and strong. Of course, the number of players in Warcraft will be smaller and smaller in the later stage, and there is no way to do it.

After all, Warcraft is different from games like League of Legends, and games like League of Legends are not too much of the main plot, but they are mainly based on battles, and the so-called plot is just a supplement, and it does not affect the game experience. Warcraft is different, as an MMORPG game, the plot is an important component, and with the passage of time and the update of the version, the plot has long become very complex. After a newcomer enters the game, it is unrealistic to experience the plot from beginning to end. Not to mention the small number of rookie players, leveling up alone is boring. Let's just say that in the later stage, in order to allow new players to catch up with old players faster, the game company came up with a small means of upgrading and accelerating, so that new players are ready to change the map before they have time to feel the plot, and the game experience is really not very good.

Of course, the most important reason is that there are too few players at the same time.

In the previous days when Warcraft was booming, a large number of new players joined every day, and as a newcomer, you can find a lot of like-minded people to play games together, and everyone leveled up together, fought monsters together, and enjoyed it.

In the later stage, sporadic rookie players, no one who leveled up together at the same time, and even some people will directly buy the helicopter service, completely losing a large part of the fun in the game, making the game experience worse and worse, and finally becoming more and more bad.

But is this Blizzard's pot? Not exactly.

After all, they can't help it.,After new players enter the game,If you level up yourself,Not only does it take a long time,It's more likely to play stand-alone for a long time.,In order to ensure that these newcomers can keep up with the big army faster,Some means to help upgrade must be there.,The result is like this.,To be honest, it's helpless.。

Zhou Fangyuan didn't know where Warcraft could go in this life, he could only say that since he came, he would definitely give Warcraft as much life as possible, this was his favorite game after all, and now it was part of his company, who would contribute if he didn't contribute.

In addition to Blizzard, several games on Nanxian's side are also under intense development, and overall performance is not done, Zhou Fangyuan took the time to understand it and expressed satisfaction.

And in the operation of existing games, there have also been some problems, the first of which is undoubtedly Legend. In fact, in the original plane, people who have experienced this period know that a large part of the reason for the decline of the legend is because of plug-ins. Because of the negligence of the original game company's employees, the source code of the game was accidentally leaked, which led to a group of plug-ins overnight, and it was hard to kill such a popular online game. In this life, Zhou Fangyuan strictly guarded it, but there was no similar situation, but the plug-ins still appeared, but they were far less arrogant than the original time and space, in order to stop these plug-ins, the distant game also spent countless energy and manpower, but the results were still not satisfactory.
