456. Game Empire

In fact, since Nie Wei made a request yesterday, Yao Xian has been curious about why Nie Wei suddenly became interested in a single machine. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In his opinion, Nie Wei can't be pure curiosity, although there is a difference between stand-alone games and online games, but the process of making the main body of the game is not much different, Nie Wei as a person who has developed two games, this field should not have any mystery for him.

What was the reason for that? Yao Xian couldn't figure it out, so he simply threw this question directly to Nie Wei.

"It's not wrong to say it's curious, but the main thing is that I also want to invest in the single-player game industry. Nie Wei didn't hide his purpose, Yao Xian was stunned when he heard this, and confirmed to Nie Wei again in disbelief: "You mean you want to invest in a single-player game?"

Nie Wei nodded, very sure that he didn't make a mistake, and Yao Xian didn't hear it wrong, but the more this happened, the more puzzled Yao Xian looked at Nie Wei.

Because as a stand-alone game producer, even he himself is not optimistic about the domestic market now.

Speaking of which, the stand-alone game market in China has also prospered for a while, such as around 2000, there were more than 100 Chinese stand-alone games in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, and many of them are masterpieces, even if they are put now, they are still talked about by players, but look at this year.

According to the statistics of a game magazine, this year, counting all the game companies in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, there are only 43 games on sale, and these 43 also include game expansions, including chess, Go, cards and other pure small games, if these are removed, then the stand-alone games that really bring players a sense of freshness, in fact, there are less than 20.

Among these 20 games, the games produced by stand-alone game companies in the mainland can be counted on one hand.

From 2000, when hundreds of Chinese single-player games emerged, to less than half today, the experience is the collapse of countless game studios, because the current stand-alone market is too turbid, especially the rampant piracy of games is even more rampant than pirated records.

"I can't see through the prospects of the domestic market now, Mr. Nie, if you invest in this industry, you must be cautious. Yao Xian's words can be described as heartfelt.

"I know, I've always been very cautious when it comes to investing. Nie Wei replied with a smile.

"Hehe, I forgot, you're still a very successful businessman. Yao Xian also smiled when he heard Nie Wei's words, and only then did he remember Nie Wei's terrifying worth, and now it is only a few million dollars to make a stand-alone game in China, which can be regarded as a rich development fund, and Fairy Sword Four is also of this grade.

And a few million is really just a drop in the bucket for Nie Wei, thinking of this, Yao Xian has an urge to invest with Nie Wei.

"Nie Wei, if you really want to make a stand-alone game, I can introduce someone to you. Yao Xian said suddenly, which made Nie Wei also curious, who Yao Xian wanted to introduce.

"There is a very classic game called "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes", Nie Wei, do you know?" Yao Xian did not directly say the name of that person, but mentioned the name of a game.

But hearing the name of this game, Nie Wei's eyes immediately lit up, and a name popped up in his mind instantly, and at this moment, Cai Yinong, who had been listening for a long time, also exclaimed with surprise on his face: "I know this game, I saw that Brother Hu played it on the company's computer, and said that this game is a classic of the same era as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". ”

Cai Yinong was overjoyed after speaking, because she finally found a topic that could make her interject, and Nie Wei on the side was also smiling, because he knew very well that Cai Yinong's evaluation was not too much at all, and even said a little low, in Nie Wei's opinion, in terms of plot, perhaps "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" has achieved a pinnacle of domestic games, but in terms of gameplay creativity, Nie Wei still admires this "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" the most.

This can be regarded as the earliest sandbox stand-alone game in China, which cleverly integrates Mr. Jin's twelve classic works into the game, and allows players to experience the fun of cultivating a hero through collection and character growth.

The most important thing is the infinite extensibility of this game, many players have created many excellent extensions based on this game, even after 20 years, there are still countless players who respect it.

"Are you talking about Mr. Xu Canglong?" Nie Wei didn't have to wait for Yao Xian to say the answer, and directly pronounced out a name.

This time it was Yao Xian's turn to be surprised, although Xu Canglong is very famous in the treasure island game circle, but as long as he is out of this circle, not many people know his name, and even some players who have played his games may not know, after all, players play games, and there are few people who pay attention to producers, such as star producers like Yao Xian, it is estimated that there are no first-hand numbers in the country.

Obviously, Xu Canglong, who didn't make stand-alone games a few years ago, has not yet reached the level of a star producer.

As if seeing Yao Xian's surprise, Nie Wei explained: "I like Mr. Xu's games very much, so I pay attention to him, but I heard that he is going to do online games, why do you have the idea of making stand-alone games now?"

Nie Wei said that in the end, he looked at Yao Xian with bright eyes, showing a very interested look.

Yao Xian not only sighed in his heart, if his old friend could really get Nie Wei's investment, it might be a good start, so he answered Nie Wei's question very seriously, and told Nie Wei about the change in his old friend's mentality.

Sure enough, the player's heart is the biggest motivation for the producer. Nie Wei sighed with emotion, then looked at Yao Xian with burning eyes, and said, "Teacher Yao, after listening to your words, I am very interested in Teacher Xu's stand-alone game plan, you must have his contact information." ”

"Of course, I'll write to you right now. Yao Xian is also very happy, at least in his opinion, a person like Nie Wei, who is worth a lot of money and has experience in making successful games, is quite qualified as an investor.

As for having one more competitor, this kind of thing will not be true at all in the current game market, because what is lacking in the Chinese stand-alone game market today is an opponent, otherwise if it continues like this, this market will really be 'dead'.

Yao Xian sees this very clearly, so he is not afraid of one more competitor, because this market is far from saturated, and he needs these competitors to develop this market with him, which will be a win-win situation.

At noon, Yao Xian really invited Nie Wei and Cai Yinong to have a meal in the company's cafeteria, and after the meal, the two also said goodbye to Yao Xian.

"Nie Wei, what time is the plane in the afternoon, if you have time, come to visit our Tang people. Sitting in the car, Cai Yinong invited Nie Wei on the side.

"Forget it this time, I was on the plane at half past two in the afternoon, and it was too late. Nie Wei declined Cai Yinong's invitation with regret on his face, Cai Yinong was also very sorry for this, but there was no way, after all, Nie Wei also explained that it was indeed too late in time.

"That's going to be next time. Cai Yinong said regretfully.

"Mr. Cai, don't think about inviting me all the time, if you can, you come to Kyoto, I will entertain you. Nie Wei said with a smile, although the Tang company cannot reach an equal cooperation relationship with Huayi in terms of scale, it also has a lot of merits, especially in star-making, Tang Ren is very skilled.

Cai Yinong naturally agreed to Nie Wei's invitation without hesitation, and even in the next second, he was already preparing to go to Kyoto Huayi Company to 'learn from the experience', but what made Cai Yinong feel a pity was that it was already the end of the year, and it was the busy time of major entertainment companies, and Cai Yinong obviously had no chance to visit for a while.

But after all, with Nie Wei's invitation, then there is a usable reason to go to Huayi to pull relations in the future.

Cai Yinong said goodbye after sending Nie Wei back to the hotel, and Luo Kai had already helped Nie Wei pack his luggage, Nie Wei rested in the hotel for a while, and seeing that the time was almost up, he took the car provided by the hotel's special VIP customers and drove towards the airport.

That night, when Nie Wei returned to his home from the capital airport, he turned on the computer and entered the blog as soon as possible, and sure enough, the first place on the hot search list was really related to himself, and it was the news that he visited the soft game company.

Nie Wei knew that when he left that painting, Yao Xian would not let go of this good opportunity to publicize.

However, it is nothing to be borrowed by Yao Xian once, at least the other party also gave him a very useful message, if he can successfully win over Xu Canglong, an excellent producer, then his dream of a single-player game empire will undoubtedly be a big step forward.

And in addition to Xu Canglong, Nie Wei and many of the main persons in charge of Xiansi have left a way of contact, on the surface, it is just an ordinary communication, but only Nie Wei knows best, after Xiansi, this legendary team will be disbanded, and at that time, Nie Wei will definitely make a move, and this team is also the cornerstone that Nie Wei has already included in the plan.

Close the computer, and the matter of contacting Xu Canglong Nie Wei has been handed over to his staff, and I believe that a response will be received soon.

On the side of Baodao, Xu Canglong had not been contacted by Nie Wei first, so he received a call from Yao Xian first.

"Old Yao, what's the matter?" Xu Canglong's voice was a little tired.

"Don't you have the idea of making a single machine again? I happened to meet a friend today who was very interested. Yao Xian said straight to the point.

"Are there new investors?" are you interested in my game?" Xu Canglong's voice replied very quickly, and there was a faint hint of apprehension, for fear that the other party would be interested in him because of Yao Xian's fame.

Yao Xian Yile obviously heard this old friend's concern from Xu Canglong's words, so he explained: "Don't worry, I only said a game you made, and people immediately guessed your name, and they also took the initiative to ask me for your contact information, I don't make this call, it is estimated that you can also receive a call from the other party in the next few days." ”

"Yes? That's great. When he said this, there was no feeling of fatigue in Xu Canglong's voice, which only made Yao Xian feel the excitement in the heart of his old friend opposite, he understood very well, when he started making games, he was also very happy when he got his first investment.

Soon, Xu Canglong adjusted his mood and continued to ask: "Lao Yao, tell me about the situation of this investor." ”

This is Xu Canglong's current biggest concern, with his name in the treasure island is not unable to find investors, in recent times he has run a lot of treasure island game companies, otherwise he would not be so tired, but he has found so many companies, either he is unwilling to invest in stand-alone games, or the investment is too little, not enough to do at all, and the most excessive kind, the share is very low, it is completely to let Xu Canglong make games at a loss.

Who dares to ask for such funds, even if Xu Canglong has the heart to do stand-alone games, he must first consider his own life, after all, he is not a young man in his twenties, he is now a man with a family, a wife and children, and a family burden.

"Don't worry, the investor's qualifications are very good, at least in terms of funds, you don't have to worry, that one is a real rich man, even if it is not as rich as Guo on the island, but it is not far behind. Yao Xian said that in terms of funds, he really has a lot of confidence in Nie Wei.

And Xu Canglong's eyes were also surprised and quickly popped out, Yao Xian helped himself find what a thick thigh, and even compared with Guo Shoufu, you must know that Guo Shoufu is worth at least three or four billion US dollars, and according to the meaning of Yao Xian's words, it should be inferred that this investor is not worth at least one billion US dollars.

Xu Canglong guessed that he really looked down on Nie Wei, now Nie Wei's total assets will definitely exceed 2 billion, and there will inevitably be Nie Wei on this year's Forbes rich list.

Xu Canglong's heart finally calmed down because of Yao Xian's words, who doesn't want to hug a golden thigh in the game, after all, it means that it is not bad for money, and if you have sufficient production funds, it also means that you can make your inner game more perfect.

is like the game "The Legend of Martial Arts", it was because of lack of funds that Xu Canglong had to 'cut it in half', otherwise, this game may be more classic and playable.

Just when Xu Canglong was fantasizing about how much money this investor had and how much money he would pay to make a stand-alone game, Yao Xian on the other side of the phone spoke again.

"And this investor is not only rich, but also understands games very well, and is even a game producer himself. ”

"Are you saying that he also makes games? Do I know him?" Yao Xian's words made Xu Canglong very curious, because people who make games are generally not too rich, Yao Xian is even the most powerful producer in this industry, isn't it like that, but even if he is the CEO of Daewoo Company, his worth is very different from Guo Shoufu.

So Yao Xian's words made him even more confused.

"Lao Yao, don't sell it, tell me who this person is. Xu Canglong, who was anxious to know who the investors he was going to face was, asked directly.
