Mike Mohan waited quietly, knowing that Li Zetian might be thinking about something right now.

After a long while, Li Zetian's voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

He asked, "Mike Mohan, have you ever thought about adapting Blizzard's game into a movie?"

Mike Mohan was stunned when he heard this.

Many of Flamingo's games have also been adapted into movies, and since 1993, Super Mario Bros., an adaptation of the hit game "Super Mario", has been released, opening a chapter in game adaptations.

So far, there have been many games that have been adapted into movies and have achieved great success, and the box office revenue is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has increased the influence of the game and attracted countless fans!

Blizzard has never had the idea of a movie adaptation before, the main reason is that for the Blizzard team, Blizzard is a very pure game development company, whose purpose is to develop the most fun games in the world, and believes that as long as the game is fun, players will buy it, so they have not carefully considered the film adaptation at all.

Another reason, of course, is because they don't understand movies.

At this time, Li Zetian proposed to let Blizzard adapt its game into a movie, Mike Mohan pondered unconsciously, in his opinion, Li Zetian, a genius and rich character, can never be untargeted, since he proposed the idea of adapting the game into a movie, it must be reasonable.

Li Zetian continued: "In 1995, Japan's SNK's "King of Fighters" was adapted into a movie and released at a cost of $20 million and grossed as much as $120 million, in 2001, the British company EIDOS's "Tomb Raider" was adapted into a movie and released at a box office of $275 million, and in 2002, "Resident Evil" was adapted into a movie and released at a box office of $120 million......"

Speaking of this, Li Zetian suddenly paused, the "Resident Evil" game is also available in this life, but hesitating Li Zetian has registered the Umbrella (umbrella) company, so a new company has appeared in "Resident Evil" - Tianqing Technology, and the rest has basically not changed much. As for the game manufacturer of "Resident Evil", it is the Japanese CAPCOM (Capcom), which was acquired by Flamingo in the early years.

Li Zetian then continued: "Since the success of the film adaptations of "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil", the number of gamers around the world has increased significantly! By next year, these two movies will be released for the second part......

"It can be seen that building game IP into movie IP and influencing each other can create a long-lasting super IP and generate incomparably huge commercial value!"

"As one of the most famous game manufacturers in the world, Blizzard owns "Warcraft", "StarCraft", "Diablo" series and the next "World of Warcraft", each game has its own story background and world view, which is very suitable for adaptation into movies. ”

"Both Warcraft and StarCraft are featured in many prestigious esports competitions and are highly regarded in the computer game world. With the help of the game's existing popularity, topicality and potential fans, the movie can become popular before it is broadcast, and then attract passers-by to watch the movie and protect the box office!"

"Nowadays, with the advent of the era of big IP and pan-entertainment, the level of film production has gradually improved. I believe that game adaptations, as an important source of movie IP, will eventually usher in their own glorious moments!"

Game adaptations have had successes, but naturally there have also been failures, and most of them have failed.

Blizzard didn't dare to get involved because it was afraid that the game adaptation would fail.

At this moment, after listening to Li Zetian's words, Mike Mohan was still moved, he finally realized that the Blizzard team was too conservative before, and he knew that the development of games in a muffled voice was timid, and he lacked a certain amount of courage and courage in how to develop a larger market. In addition, he also thinks that Li Zetian is right, the level of film production is improving year by year, and with the computer special effects level of Industrial Light and Magic, now it can fully support Blizzard to shoot "Warcraft" and "StarCraft"!

“Mr· Li, your proposal is very good!" Mike Mohan said firmly, "Blizzard needs to take the first step bravely! Li, what do you think was our first film adaptation? Warcraft, or StarCraft?"

Li Zetian analyzed: "Next, Blizzard is going to launch "World of Warcraft", "World of Warcraft" is based on the plot of "Warcraft" as the historical background, relying on the historical events and heroes of "Warcraft", with a complete historical background timeline...... Therefore, adapting Warcraft is similar to adapting World of Warcraft. We can wait for World of Warcraft to be released two or three years later, when the popularity is at its peak, and then the adaptation will be most obvious.

"StarCraft" has been popular for seven or eight years, and its popularity has been declining, so it is imperative to launch a movie adaptation when "StarCraft" is very popular, maintain the popularity of "StarCraft", so as to lay a good foundation for the next movie or game. ”

"StarCraft broke three records in the Guinness Book of World Records this week: the highest-selling PC real-time strategy game, the highest-grossing game in the professional league, and the most-watched game. It can be seen that "StarCraft" is also the most suitable game to be adapted into a movie at present! Therefore, the IP of "StarCraft" is worth digging deep into by Blizzard, just like "Star Wars", it will continue to be popular!"

Speaking of this, Li Zetian's tone paused slightly, thought for a while and said: "The first movie is called "StarCraft: Uprising", which is adapted from "Uprising" written by Blizzard employee Mickey Nelson, in order to be used as a prequel to the plot of "StarCraft"! After "StarCraft: Uprising", "Liberty's Expedition" by Jeff Gruber and "Queen of Blades" by Alan Rosenberg can be adapted. What's more, you can also adapt StarCraft plots such as "Shadow of Sarnagar" and "Legend of the Dark Templar" created by Gabriel Mesta to expand the main story!"

After listening to this, Mike Mohan's face turned red, obviously caused by excitement, and he couldn't help but think of scenes from the adaptation of "StarCraft" into a movie, how exciting and fascinating these pictures were!!

“Mr· Li, with your telling, I can't wait to make StarCraft into a movie right now!" Mike Mohan said with a fiery look in his eyes.

At this time, Li Zetian suddenly felt a strong 'passion' coming to his face through his mobile phone...... [.]
