03 can be said to be another year belonging to the Yuanfang Group.

This year, the development of Yuanfang Group is really too rapid, although just half a year has passed, but it is this half a year, Yuanfang Group has frequently attracted the attention of the media.

First of all, there are a series of measures after the beginning of the year, of course, some small actions are not enough to really attract too much media attention, but there are also people who are paying attention to the distant group. The first thing that really caused a national sensation, and even a global sensation, was smartphones. To be honest, before the launch of the I1 mobile phone, did anyone imagine a similar mobile phone? Yes, previous science fiction works, and peers, other large and small companies in the mobile phone industry, there must have been many people who have made similar assumptions. But none of them think this can be successful, or they think it can be successful but they don't know how to start, or they are still thinking about the overall design of the phone, the system problem, the material problem...... And so on and so forth, and so on and so forth, other people who can think of smartphones want to turn their fantasies into reality, and there are so many things that they need to do and think about, so much that they can't see the obvious direction for a while.

Zhou Fang was far faster than any of them, earlier than any of them, and knew what to do better than any of them, so Yuanfang I1 came into being. When the I1 phone appeared in front of the media and the public, the whole world was boiling.

The market is super hot, and Yuanfang Technology can be said to be working overtime, 24 hours a day without rest and three shifts in production, which is still a little unable to keep up with the digestion speed of the market, basically how much can be sold as much as it is made, and people are crazy. A mobile phone of 7,000 yuan is like no money, and it may be better in China, but everyone is still waiting. But in foreign countries, especially in the most developed North America, there are already many people who have left messages in Yuanfang Technology, saying that they like this mobile phone too much, and they will be loyal fans of Yuanfang Technology in the future.

Of course, there are also people who don't like far-away technology, such as Apple fans.

Because not long after Yuanfang Technology released its new mobile phone, Apple released a message saying that their mobile phone was about to be successfully developed, and it would not be long before it could meet the majority of users.

As a result, Apple's die-hard fans immediately became excited, and they tried to prove that Apple was better than Yuanfang Technology on various occasions and in various ways, and there were people on the Internet in North America who were talking about everything. It is said that Apple has actually been successfully developed a long time ago, but in order to let users have a better experience, it has not been released for a long time, and it is still looking for possible problems with mobile phones. Zhou Fangyuan just wanted to laugh when he heard this, isn't Apple just for making money? Look at their actions in the future, I don't even bother to look at the stinking side of Apple for a long time.

Some people also say that in fact, when Apple was about to succeed in research and development, it lost the most critical part, which was stolen by commercial spies, and the spies were sent by Yuanfang Technology, but in fact, Yuanfang Technology stole Apple's technology and concepts. Well, there is some truth in this statement, because Zhou Fangyuan did "steal", but not by commercial espionage, but by his prophetic ability, but he can't say this thing, and no one can confirm it, so this statement seems to be a slander now, it can be said that it has infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of Yuanfang Technology, and Yuanfang Technology has sued a group of netizens who promote this statement to court, as for how the court in the United States will decide, this is really hard to say. But if you fight a lawsuit, it's a big deal to keep fighting, and the distant technologist has a big business, and this money is spent, I'm afraid that those who promote these rumors will not be able to hold on first.

There are many other sayings, all of which are said, but Zhou Fangyuan doesn't care at all. He knows that Apple has actually started the research and development of mobile phones, but if they want to wait for Apple to actually release the first real smartphone, even if there are ready-made samples, they will need at least half a year to a year to prepare. Moreover, the design of the mobile phone design and the design of the functional keys, etc., including the mobile phone system, the mobile phone chip, the internal layout of the mobile phone, etc., have been patented. And it's not just the part on the current I1 mobile phone, including many things that are expected to be added in subsequent versions, and things that can be patented have also been patented.

Apple wants to make smartphones? Yes.

Either completely jump out of all these patents and develop them yourself, or you can only buy patents from Yuanfang Technology, and when their mobile phones come out, those netizens who were jumping around the world before can be quiet. Because Zhou Fangyuan has the knowledge of the next ten years, he has almost applied for patents for all the parts of smartphones that can be patented, how difficult it is to jump out completely, unless Apple is willing to delay the release of its mobile phone for a long time, otherwise they must follow behind Yuanfang Technology, which is not negotiable.

Smartphones are the first breaking point, and the second breaking point is World of Warcraft.

When World of Warcraft was launched, it immediately caused a global sensation, and during the open beta, the number of players of Warcraft exceeded 10 million. And as the month expired and World of Warcraft began to charge, the number of players did start to decline. But then, Blizzard and Far Games announced at the same time that World of Warcraft will open the first twenty levels of free trial activities, and this event will exist forever, the game will not fall, and the activities will not stop. As a result, as soon as the news came out, the number of players rebounded again, and soon exceeded 11 million. Not only that, but the number of paying players has also increased a lot, with more than 1 million paying players in China and more than 5 million worldwide. According to the average consumption level of a player a fifteen yuan card a month, in a month, the global income of Warcraft can also reach more than 70 million soft girl coins, but in fact, the global income of Warcraft is far more than this.

In China alone, the revenue in the first month of charging has reached 50 million soft girl coins, and the global scope has reached 50 million US dollars, becoming the best-selling online game in history.

Mike has been very busy lately, giving interviews everywhere, and of course, this is also a good opportunity to promote Warcraft, so whether he wants to or not, he must also participate.

In an interview, Mike said more than once that in fact, Warcraft can not have today's results without Zhou Fangyuan, because many good changes in Warcraft, many things that everyone thinks are good, are all suggestions provided by Zhou Fangyuan. Originally, the development team didn't expect it, but it was only noticed by Zhou Fangyuan's reminder. It can be said that Zhou Fangyuan's suggestion has raised the finished product of Warcraft to a higher level, and Zhou Fangyuan can be said to have made great contributions. Not only that, including the follow-up plot, it was also Zhou Fangyuan who helped modify and determine, it can be said that the development direction for the next ten years was set in one go, compared with the development team in charge of technology, Zhou Fangyuan, who was in charge of the plot, helped Warcraft more.

This statement makes many Mi players who have some bad ideas unhappy, but most players can accept it.

Now that Mike said this, the media remembered Zhou Fangyuan again.

There's really no way to forget.

The director of the super-small-budget film "The Shining", which had a lot of fame in North America last year, and the leader of a group from scratch, has been reported before.

The result turned out to be this year, the pioneer of smartphones and the designer of Warcraft games...... These names began to be pressed on Zhou Fangyuan's head one after another, and were reported by foreign media, and the image of a business genius became more and more full. Foreign media are scrambling to report, and domestic media can't be idle, so Zhou Fangyuan became famous again, he came once last year, and he came again this year, so that Zhou Fangyuan couldn't go out, not because he was hypocritical, but because he was really in danger when he went out now, and when he couldn't keep it, he would be targeted by criminals.

So he could only live in seclusion and start contacting bodyguards at the same time.

Bodyguards, preferably veterans, with good personality and strong ability, the company's security department is still a little inadequate, and more professional people are needed to protect themselves.

As a result, before he could find a bodyguard, he became famous again.

Why?

Very simple.

The Warcraft movie was released.

Three months after the launch of the Warcraft game, when the domestic summer vacation was about to pass, the Warcraft movie was first released in North America.

Because of the problem of the subject matter, there is no way to introduce it in China.

Well, the first part is still okay, because now the originally planned first part has been split.

Split into two parts.

The first part focuses on Alsace's background, his country, his upbringing, his life in Dalaran, and his love affair with Gianna...... At the end of the first part, there is the Battle of the Stannbride Hills, where Arthas successfully defeats the invading orcs, saves most of the villagers, and fulfills his oath as a prince. In the end, there was an easter egg, that is, Gianna was arranged by her teacher Archmage Antonidas to go to the north of Lordaeron to investigate the mysterious plague, and when the team gathered, she was stunned to find that it was his lover Arthas who went with her to investigate.

This is the plot of the first part after the split.

The second part will be released at the end of this year or early next year, the content is that Arthas and Gianna investigate the plague, and then there are difficulties and dangers along the way, Arthas has seen the destruction of too many villages, seen the death of too many people, and the whole person begins to become depressed and distorted, and finally in Stratholme, ignoring the persuasion of his lover and the prevention of his master, he forcibly slaughtered the city and purified Stratholme. After doing this kind of thing, Alsace, whose grief has reached the limit, finally decides to go to Northrend, and thus the second film ends.

The first part of the Alsace tetralogy is a warm and happy emotional drama, and the second part is a very depressing prince's revenge journey. The third part will be for him to become a Death Knight, kill his father, and then summon the Burning Legion.

The third part will be a masterpiece with a big scene, and the plot of Warcraft will be fully unfolded from this one.

Humans, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves...... Various races began to appear, and heroes of various races also began to appear, including the Burning Legion and Titans, and the third part can be regarded as the first big climax, laying the foundation for more subsequent filming plans. Of course, there is also a very important battle in this one, that is, the battle between Arthas and Illidan, which is the final climax of this movie.

In the fourth part, it was the expedition to Northrend, and the death of Alsace. According to the release rate of one in two years, when the fourth part is released, it is the time when World of Warcraft 3.0 Wrath of the Lich King will be launched. When the time comes, strive to release the two at the same time to form the best linkage effect.

Of course, this has been a plan for several years, and for now, the first half of Warcraft Part 1 has just been released.

But it works very well.

The Warcraft series has accumulated enough popularity over the years, and it hasn't been long since World of Warcraft was launched, and this time the protagonist is Alsace again, so as soon as the movie was released, it immediately caused a round of movie-watching storms in North America. The box office in the first weekend directly broke 80 million US dollars, which is already a very powerful achievement in this year, and it must not be compared with the freaks who broke 100 million or even 200 million in the first weekend at every turn, and don't forget, there is also an inflation problem. With inflation, movie ticket prices are also rising, at least in North America.

Secondly, don't forget that Warcraft is a game-based movie, to be honest, has the game-based movie been successful?Yes, but throughout the history of film, how many such movies are there? At the end of the day, it's very difficult to adapt a game to a movie, and the audience sometimes doesn't accept it, unless you can really tell the story well.

Cameron didn't put too much stuff into the background introduction, the beginning is the birth of Alsace, and the introduction to the human world is instilled in the audience little by little through the growth fragments of Alsace, through the teachings of teachers and fathers. As for more content, it will not be introduced at all in the movie, and what you know will naturally know, and what you don't know will not affect the viewing experience at all, at least it will not make passers-by and audiences inexplicable.

Therefore, don't underestimate the ability of a big director to tell a story, the better the story, the more likely you are to become a big director, it's useless to only play explosions and play special effects, in the final analysis, movies are not the best of explosions and special effects, this is a story. Only when the story is told well will the audience be satisfied.

Cameron's story is told very well, which greatly lowers the audience's viewing threshold.

So the evaluation of the film is quite good, the market performance is also very successful, and there is no problem with the follow-up shooting plan at all.

But during the film's release, something went wrong.

Because Warcraft has been launched, and as we all know, Warcraft is divided into camps, so it is at the door of many movie theaters. Alliance players and clan players are fighting, and these guys are taking the stuff out of the game. The police couldn't arrest anyone, and when Zhou Fangyuan got the news, he only smiled helplessly.
