Strictly speaking, the problems that Li Mo is encountering now are not special situations that many small game development companies have encountered when promoting their own products.

In addition to facing the exploitation of game platforms, general game development companies must also face the hurdle of game publishing companies.

Just like the problems that a filmmaker encounters when trying to get his or her film to meet the audience, it has to deal with the distribution company first, and then the distribution company communicates with the theater company......

The situation was similar to this at the time of the game's release.

In the previous life, Lilith Technology suffered a loss in the face of the issuing company.

After Wang Xinwen and others made the game "Dota Legend", the biggest problem they faced for a period of time was that they couldn't find a publishing company to distribute their own games......

Most of the domestic publishing companies in the Celestial Empire would rather take over the game mode that has been well done in the market, and "Dota Legend", a product that almost subverts the rules of the original card game, has actually not been taken seriously for a long time, let alone anyone who will be optimistic about it.

Finally, due to the newly established publishing department of the Imperial Capital at that time, there was no game of its own for them to publish, and after many rounds, one of its employees came across "Dota Legend" in the Imperial Capital, and then brought it back to the Imperial Capital as a non-in-company game operated and published by the company's new department.

Of course, in the initial agency distribution agreement signed between Zhongqing Games and Lilith Technology, the sharing ratio was set at 8.6:1.4......

In this time and space, Li Mo proposed that Lilith Technology must have independent R&D capabilities and independent distribution capabilities.

When Li Mo came up with this idea, he only vaguely knew that there was a huge unequal relationship between the publisher and the game developer, so he hoped to avoid this problem by forming his own zero publishing team.

But he didn't know that if he handed over the issuance right to someone else, the 'purchase volume' fee he encountered today should theoretically be paid in advance by the issuer......

"What should I do now? Do you want to hand over the distribution rights to another company?" Li Mo's fingers unconsciously tapped on the conference table, and this thought popped into his mind.

"No, the more than 4 million is just a temporary small problem, if you give up the distribution rights of "Dota Legend". Then it's very likely that for a long time, the game's revenue numbers won't meet my expectations. ”

Li Mo is not a stupid person after all.

Surrendering the distribution rights now does solve the problem of costs in the early days of the game's launch, but at the root, this behavior is tantamount to drinking to quench your thirst.

Not only will it give away a large part of its own revenue in the Apple game store, but it will also lose its dominance even in the subsequent licensing negotiations with domestic Android game platforms.

The plan of handing over the distribution rights is absolutely not feasible!

Unexpectedly, just a few months later, Li Mo would be helpless like Wang Xinwen at the beginning, because of millions of funds......

So, this counts as karma?

Are you kidding.

Just as Li Daguanren, the shame of the traverser, was sitting there lucky, a rapid mobile phone rang in the conference room.

Zhang Hao was very dog-legged, seeing that his boss was in an irritable mood, when the bell rang a few times and no one answered, he immediately stood up and scolded loudly.

"Whose mobile phone is ringing? The company's rules and regulations have been reiterated again and again, when the meeting is held, the mobile phones of the participants are all adjusted to silent or airplane mode, how long has it been, is there not even this consciousness? I ...... it?"

Before Zhang Hao could finish speaking, he found that the eyes of others were a little strange when they looked at him......

Then he heard a familiar voice ringing out.

"Hey, Brother Zong, I'm Li Mo......"

At this time, Zhang Hao finally realized one thing calmly and soberly: the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg......

Facts have proved that the compliance of Lilith Technology with the company's rules and regulations is still satisfactory.

In fact, he should have thought that in this office, if someone didn't understand the company's various management systems, then there would be no second person except Li Mo.

Except for their boss - Li Mo.

This guy hasn't been here for a day at all.

If he knew the rules of the company, he would really be a hell of a god......

…………

Zong Shuai's voice didn't sound very clear on the phone, it seemed that he should be talking to Li Mo in some closed place or the signal was not very good.

Based on Li Mo's experience, usually at this time, either things are extremely bad, or there is some good news, so he can't wait to share it with Li Mo.

"Hopefully it's not bad news anymore. Li Mo muttered to himself in his heart, and walked out of the conference room with the phone.

"Brother Zong, I'm going to have a meeting with Zhang Hao and them here at Lilith Technology, do you have any urgent matters over there?"

Li Mo tried his best to control his emotions and asked softly.

"Xiaomo, that's right. Zong Shuai on the other end of the phone seems to have left the environment with a bad signal, and the voice on the phone sounds much more stable and clear, "Regarding the box office share of "Hypnosis Master", Fiber Optic Media has just informed me that I can go to their company to go through the payment procedures at any time. I wanted to ask you what you do with this money. ”

"The box office share of "Master of Hypnosis"?" Li Mo muttered unconsciously, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Zong, tell me how much money is first?"

"Well, let me look at the bill. Zong Shuai stopped and began to rummage for something, and the phone was full of the sound of sizzling papers, "The hypnosis master was released from February 17th to March 31st, the release time is a total of 42 days, and the total national box office is 537.1 million yuan, according to the distribution agreement signed with Optical Fiber Media, the producer's share is a total of 177 million yuan, and Optical Fiber Media occupies 40% of the production share in this film, so our party's share is a total of 106 million yuan." ”

"It's almost 100 million...... Li Mo let out a long breath when he heard this number, "It's finally done." ”

"Yes," Speaking of this, Zong Shuai also sighed a lot, although he had handled far more movies than this before, but as a person who has watched Li Mo all the way to the present, Zong Shuai also knows how difficult it is for Li Mo to get to the present.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaomo, there is one thing I have to make clear to you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"In addition to your 3% of the director's box office share, the 30 million yuan paid for our company in the early investment of "Chinese Partner" will be deducted. ”

“…… Moreover, Mr. Wang of Optical Fiber Media, as well as China Film Group, have repeatedly urged you to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible and start the editing and post-production work of "Chinese Partner" as soon as possible. ”

Damn, labor and management take back the emotion just now, and sure enough, the capitalists are unscrupulous......
