Chapter 313: Box Office and Games

"Old Wu, when is the open beta of our game? It's been a few months! You also want to learn from Blizzard to skip tickets?"

"It's going to be fast, don't rush it, we're optimizing the bugs.,After all, this is a super innovation from the perspective of the game's internal program logic.,We used super AI to calculate the entire server.,It's not okay if you don't debug it.,Tell you you you don't understand.。

Also, what is Blizzard? What kind of game company is it? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"Don't care about these details, when will Minecraft be launched?"

The above is the conversation between Fang Bei and Wu Poor in the game company.

Wu Qian lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Isn't it already online?" ”

"Why don't I know?" Fang Bei paused for a moment, and then asked, "How is the sales?"

Wu Qian raised six fingers.

"Sixty thousand?"

"No, six hundred. ”

“......”

Don't be surprised: "So little?"

It doesn't make sense......

How did Minecraft sell so little of such a great game?

You must know that when Fang Bei was a year or four in his previous life, the huge hard acquisition of Mojang Studio, which made Minecraft, cost 2.4 billion US dollars!

There is no reason why it can't be done in this world.

"yes, only six hundred. Wu Qian sighed.

Then, looking at Fang Bei's confused eyes, he suddenly laughed: "But the sales of these six hundred copies are the sales of the first second on the shelves." ”

Farewell: "!!"

"How many are there now?"

Wu Qian shrugged: "It's only on the shelves today, and more than 100,000 copies have been sold in an hour." ”

"it, so high?"

Don't be surprised.

Actually, is this a lot of numbers? It's too much, it's not too much.

It's mostly compared to other indie games, and less to the big games.

However, "Minecraft" has neither reservations nor advertisements, and it has sold more than 100,000 copies in an hour, which is really a lot.

There's one more problem, though.

Fang Bei frowned and said: "I remember that the platform on the platform is WeChat, right? Isn't the platform claimed to be divided into three or seven? Wouldn't it be a loss if it was only seventy percent?"

In fact, the name Weixin seems to make Fang Bei have a sense of déjà vu.

Well, he'd understood, and this thing was pretty much the thing he understood.

IT'S JUST THAT THE VOLUME IS ROUGHLY EQUIVALENT TO STEAM PLUS WEGAME AND THEN A LITTLE LESS.

"Seventy percent, seventy percent is someone else's!" Wu Qian sneered: "The game party is thirty percent!"

Fang Bei frowned and said, "Isn't this special to kneel and ask for food?"

"Then if you want to say that, you are really kneeling and asking for food. Wu Qian flicked the ashes of his cigarette, "That's it, how many people want to kneel and don't have this opportunity." ”

He was telling the truth.

If you take it and sell it yourself, maybe it's better than the WeChat platform.

And the micro-message platform also has a guarantee, that is, as long as the money you sell is less than seventy percent of your cost, the micro-message platform will give you all the money without charging a share.

Do you feel very conscientious?

Conscience is weird!

It should be noted that this cost is the whole cost, not the cost after sharing.

In other words, if the money you sell exceeds your cost, you will start to divide it.

However, this is divided into the part that exceeds the cost.

Why does Weixin dare to do this? Because their platform is indeed big enough, as long as they can apply for distribution on the platform, then there is basically nothing that is not profitable, even if it is only distributed to the producer.

This is also the reason why others know that they are so pitted, but they also squeeze their heads and want to go in.

But micro-messaging is not a game that is given.

They have a very professional rating department that is responsible for grading the games that apply to be listed on the platform.

Only games with a score of 7 or more will be allowed to log in to the platform for sale.

This has led many gamers to regard the ratings of this rating department as the best rating agency in the industry.

There's no way, what kind of IGN or the like can do anything at will to get a low score, or inexplicably give a high score.

But Weixi's scoring department is completely based on the interests of the platform to score, if your score is low, it means that Weixin is not optimistic about your game, and they will naturally not be just right.

After all, the person who sent them money was WeChat.

Fang Bei scolded: "What a special micro-message! What a profiteer!"

Wu Qian shook his head: "You scolded too early, our "Minecraft" is divided into twenty-eight." ”

"!!" Fang Bei was even more angry, "Why are you still lowering the price?

He's decided! Next year's first movie will be a black message!

Don't hack it out and write someone's name upside down!

"Not really. Wu Qian smacked his lips, "This two eight open, let's take eight." And I heard that according to the score of WeChat, "Minecraft" has a score of more than nine. ”

Don't be puzzled below: "Capitalists will also have a day to do good deeds?"

"Not really. Wu Qian smiled, "It's just that the boss of Weixin approved it." ”

"Who's their boss?"

Don't be a little curious right now.

Could it be that you are a fan of your own movie?

He still remembers the jokes he had read in his previous life.

Hideo Kojima didn't have any money when he made "Death Stranding", but a big boss was a fan of him, so he threw money to help him make games.

After that, he ran out of money and went to the bank for a loan, but the bank refused to give him a loan, and as a result, an executive of the bank was a fan of him, so he approved the loan......

Could it be that the boss of this WeChat message is also his fan?

I don't know if it's a fan or a movie fan, eighty percent should be a movie fan.

Wu Qian smiled strangely: "Weixin is actually a wholly-owned subsidiary of a large group. ”

Fang Bei suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "Could it be?"

"That's it. Wu Qian nodded, "Weixin is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Su's Group. ”

Seeing Fang Bei's wonderful expression, Wu Qiang teased: "Old Fang, let me ask you a question." ”

Fang Bei: "What." ”

Wu Qian: "This soft rice...... Does it taste good?"

Farewell: "......"

It's so fragrant!

However, the purpose of his own game was originally to be on an equal footing with the eldest lady as soon as possible, but in the end, he still relied on his own little white face?

I feel mixed feelings.

But...... It smells so good!

............

"Gentlemen, what am I talking about? When I said that I wanted to cooperate with Fang in depth, you still questioned me, and now?"

"No, no, that's all short-sighted. ”

"I have to say, Alex, you have a good eye. ”

"Don't say anything, let's have a toast. ”

Here is the board of directors of Disney.

In fact, it was not a board meeting, but an in-house lunch for the Disney board of directors at a high-end hotel.

Purpose...... One is to celebrate, and the other is Alex to show off and invite merit.

One month after its release, the North American box office of "Joker" has exceeded 400 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 1 billion!

For a movie with an investment of only 50 million US dollars, this box office is definitely the best in the making!

Not to mention a series of DVD sales and merchandise.

And there's the explosive growth of interest at Disney theme parks!

These Disney directors, who were originally not very interested in each other, also had to say: It's so fragrant!

"Alas, it's good everywhere, but it's a little bad. Why does he always like to make R-rated movies? Without Huaguo, his home base, how much less box office would our movies have......

Yes, the box office of Huaguo cannot be underestimated, which can be seen from the box office of the "League of Legends" trilogy.

The global box office of a single movie is two billion US dollars, and Huaguo can contribute five or six billion, which is almost the same as North America!

Alex sighed: "The cooperation is still not deep enough, gentlemen, the next step is to enter China, I feel that we have to give up more benefits, so that we can sincerely cooperate with us." ”

Yes, he felt that Fang Bei did it on purpose.

Think about it.

The "League of Legends" trilogy is a movie produced by Fang Mu Film and Television, which is especially a movie of all ages that can be released in China!

"Superheroes" and "Joker" were produced by Columbia and Disney respectively, but they couldn't be released in China because they were made into R-rated films!

Fang Bei definitely did it on purpose!

Every movie inside and outside here is missing at least four or five billion US dollars at the box office!

That's pure profit!

Alex felt like his heart was bleeding.

There is no way, for capitalists, if you don't make money, you lose money.

At this time, a Mr. Mediterranean slapped his bright head and came up with a bad idea: "Alex, why don't we give more of the profits of Disney theme parks in China?"

Now the way to divide money is complicated.

The two parties belong to a cross-share swap, and Fang does not hold a part of Disney's shares, but he has no decision-making power, only the power to pay dividends.

But that's a few percent of Disney's revenue.

According to the agreement, he will take dozens of percent of the Disney theme park's share.

Now, if you go to China to open a Disney theme park, the money you can get after tax is about 35% of the profit.

Some people were dissatisfied: "Isn't this a bad idea? Are you the kind of person who cares about money? If he wants to make money, he can make hundreds of millions of dollars by making any movie! Let's be sincere!"

Mr. Mediterranean was unhappy: "Then what do you mean sincerity?"

"Generally, if a person feels unhappy at work, it is either that the money is not in place, or that he is unhappy with his work. The old god was there, "Now why don't we give him 60% of the profits from Disney parks in China in the future?"

Although this is a bit of a suspicion of painting cakes, don't look at whether you have the money, but look at our sincerity!"

"Then there's the physical and mental aspect. How could Fang not like beautiful women at a young age? Let's just give him beautiful women. ”

Mediterranean said: "But Fang is young and has a status now, he can look up to ordinary women? If he wants, Hollywood actresses can line up from his bed to the crossroads!"

Alex suddenly said, "No, that's a good idea. ”

He smiled: "Our Disney 'princesses' may be very likable." ”

He still remembered the complicated look in Fang Bei's eyes when he mentioned those princesses before.
