Chapter 723: Atari

After the meeting, Li Xuemei said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, on the issue of Atari wanting to acquire the copyright of the alien game, Universal Pictures Group is urging our group to make a decision as soon as possible, if our group doesn't want it, they will sell it to Atari." ”

Since the Alien box office became popular in the world last year, Atari, as an American game giant, has taken a fancy to the game adaptation rights of this movie.

Now all the copyrights of the aliens are in the hands of Spielberg, Jiayi Group and Universal Pictures Group, of which Universal Pictures Group has the highest shares, so they are in charge.

Since last year, the home game console market in the United States has begun to decline, and the rise of personal computers has seriously squeezed the home game console market.

And Atari itself does not have an epoch-making game, resulting in their business has been seriously squeezed by the Xingyu Group, and they also see that aliens are very popular all over the world, so they expect to acquire its game rights, develop it, and reverse the current unfavorable situation of Atari Company.

The Xingyu Group has dragged on for so long, but they don't know how the aliens have been developed, and they have asked Li Guangyu about this matter.

It's just that Li Guangyu doesn't know much about this, he remembers that the more powerful game companies are all Japanese, and many of the games he played when he was a child were also developed by several major game companies in Japan, and I haven't heard of any powerful products from Atari.

Li Guangyu asked Li Xuemei to drag on this issue, and at the same time to understand some of the situation in this regard, this time Atari is really willing to spend money, and the patent fee for buying game copyright has reached 24 million US dollars.

This is also the reason why Universal Pictures Group urged Xingyu Group this time, with such a high patent fee, Universal Pictures Group has already been excited, if it weren't for the reason for the cooperation with Jiayi Group, they would have agreed to Atari's acquisition a long time ago.

Li Guangyu asked, "What about the results of your evaluation, is there any possibility that this game will be a big hit?"

"Li Sheng, this time we also have big internal differences, one side feels that aliens have a great influence in the world, and it will definitely be widely welcomed if it is made into a game. On the other hand, they think that this is just a happy movie, and it is not playable in the game, and game fans will not buy such a story game. High royalties and games with no quality are not worth the investment. ”

Li Guangyu thought about the news that there was indeed no Atari in later generations, and it is estimated that they invested in this at the beginning. In this case, I simply let them develop, and my group is still developing its own game as planned.

Li Guangyu said: "Xuemei, our Xingyu Group gave up buying the rights of aliens and gave them to Atari, and we focused on the development of the series of games planned by our group, as for whether Atari can turn over with this, it depends on their luck." ”

Li Xuemei saw that Li Guangyu gave up this copyright acquisition, she estimated that Atari was estimated to be miserable this time, with her understanding of Li Guangyu, if this game development could make money, Li Guangyu would never give it to Atari.

As for whether Li Guangyu's judgment is accurate, Li Xuemei has never doubted it over the years, and the main credit for the miracle of the Li consortium over the years is Li Guangyu, and these high-level officials are just following Li Guangyu's instructions, and even the investment in this film is still ordered by Li Guangyu.

Golden Harvest has invested countless financial resources and energy in the United States, and the profits they made in the end are not as good as the profits they earned by investing in this movie, this is the gap.

After Li Guangyu left, Li Xuemei notified Han Huiyi, the general manager of the administration department, and asked her to arrange a good time to reply to Universal Pictures Group, and Xingyu Group withdrew from the purchase of alien game copyrights.

......

At half past nine in the morning on March 16, Los Angeles time, Jojoson Candy, president of Universal Pictures Group, received a report from the manager of the group's administration department that Xingyu Group had withdrawn from the copyright acquisition.

Although the box office of Aliens has brought very rich returns to the group, the American market has been relatively sluggish in recent years, and their group's life is not easy, and he also hopes to complete this transaction as soon as possible, and they can have a capital income again.

And he knows very well that Xingyu Group's acquisition of the copyright in this area is not too sincere at all, if it weren't for Atari suddenly coming to acquire this copyright, let Jiayi Group understand, Xingyu Group came to intervene, delaying the time for more than half a year.

And Joyoson Candy is very aware of the financial resources of Xingyu Game Group, if they really wanted to buy the rights to the alien game, they would not have delayed until now.

The Li consortium is very efficient, and this time it is obviously not in line with their work style.

Now he can finally contact Atari for the royalties this time Jojoson is quite happy, and they can make a lot of money for Universal Pictures Group again.

He said to the general manager of the administration department: "You contact Atari and say that we agreed to their terms regarding the alien rights acquisition. ”

In Atari's chairman's office, Tim Allens, the company's chairman, hasn't felt comfortable for more than a year.

The pressure on them is increasing, and even cross-industry computer companies are cracking down on their market, causing their Atari performance to continue to decline.

And this acquisition of the rights to the adaptation of the alien game made him even more upset, and Xingyu Group came over to intervene, so that they could not acquire it for a long time, resulting in his idea of seeking to change the status quo of the company has not been implemented.

Just as he was thinking about how the company would develop in the future, his employees came in and reported to him: "Chairman, just now Universal Pictures Group called, they accepted our company's acquisition conditions for the copyright of the alien game adaptation, and asked us to arrange personnel to come over and have follow-up discussions on this matter." ”

Listening to the report of the company's staff, Tim Allens was also excited, after more than half a year, he finally won the copyright of aliens, he believed that this movie would not disappoint him, with a huge number of fans behind him to support, as long as they Atari developed the game, then their Atari situation could be completely reversed.

Tim Allens said: "You go and reply to Universal Pictures, our company negotiators will be in Los Angeles this afternoon, and we will negotiate with them tomorrow. ”

This staff member knows very well how much his chairman has worked hard in the past six months to be able to win the copyright of this movie and game adaptation, and now he finally has a good result, so it is rare to see him with such a relaxed expression today.

She replied: "Chairman, I'm going to reply to Universal Pictures Group, do you have anything special to advise?"

"After you reply to Universal Pictures, you inform our company executives and the heads of the game development department to have a meeting in an hour. ”

This time it was time for them to go big with Atari, and he hoped that the film adaptation would allow their company to replicate the miracle of '77.
