Chapter 462: Hu Hansan is back (first update)
On the morning of the next day, Li Zetian drove to Blizzard, and this Nima saw a large group of reporters standing outside the building.
"I learned that Blizzard was going to shoot StarCraft: Uprising, and I came to interview it......" Li Zetian muttered, and the Rolls-Royce sedan drove to the underground garage, preparing to take the elevator directly up from there.
As soon as Li Zetian got out of the car, he saw a little boy eating a hamburger not far away staring at him with big round eyes, and suddenly ran away after half a ring.
"Mama, Mama, come out and see, live, I see the live Chronos· !!The little boy ran to a red Ferrari and shouted excitedly, as a middle-aged woman seemed to be picking something in the car.
Li Zetian touched his nose, how strange did this sound.
……
took the elevator to the floor where Blizzard was located, and Mike Mohan and others hurried out to greet him.
“Mr· Hello Li!" Mike Mohan stretched out his hand and smiled,
"Well," Li Zetian nodded, shook hands, and then looked around, and found that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Li Zetian smiled at everyone, "Hello guys, is the work hard?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison and said, "It's not hard!!"
Li Zetian bowed slightly, and then came to his office under the leadership of Mike Mohan.
As soon as he sat down, Li Zetian asked about the movie "StarCraft: Uprising".
"We've invited top Hollywood writers to work with Blizzard people to write the script. As for the director of this film, we originally wanted to invite James Cameron to direct it," Mike Mohan sighed slightly, "Unfortunately, director James Cameron was preparing another film, so he politely declined." ”
James Cameron should be preparing "Avatar", Li Zetian thought to himself, this is a very awesome movie, with an investment of less than 300 million US dollars, sweeping the global box office of nearly 3 billion US dollars, a sensation, and becoming a phenomenal movie.
James Cameron is really hanging!
Mike Mohan said: "Since James Cameron didn't agree to direct this film, then we had to hire other directors. In fact, our film has such a large investment, and it is adapted from a game, and it has become popular before it is broadcast, and many directors are very interested and have recommended themselves, including director Steven Spielberg. He had a great desire to direct "Star Wars", but never had the opportunity. StarCraft is a masterpiece that is not inferior to Star Wars, and we believe in Steven Spielberg's ability to direct it, so we decided to let him direct it!"
Li Zetian nodded and said, "Well, Steven Spielberg is here as a director, I'm very relieved." By the way, there is another thing I want to discuss with you this time. Li Zetian paused and asked, "Mohan, do you know EVE Online?"
Mike Mohan nodded: "To understand a little, it is a new game launched by the Icelandic game developer (CCP) in May this year, which is set in a grand space and highly integrated with hard sci-fi elements, showing players an extremely free virtual universe sandbox world. In the game's sandbox universe, you can carry out a variety of activities, including mining, industrial manufacturing, scientific research, finance and trade, exploring archaeology, and so on......"
Li Zetian said: "Don't you think it's cool to develop "StarCraft" into "StarCraft Online"?"
Mike Mohan was thoughtful.
……
Since the news came out that "StarCraft" was going to be made into a movie, game manufacturers have been very popular for a while.
Shanghai, China.
Shanda Company welcomed an important guest today, and a large number of company executives such as Chen Tianqiao came to the door to greet him.
Ah, I'm Hu Hansan again!
Son Zhengyi raised his head and walked into Shanda Company with a smile on his face, under the compliments of Chen Tianqiao.
"Mr. Sun's presence has made our Shanda Company shine!" Chen Tianqiao said with a smile.
Son Zhengyi smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, "Legend" has written the myth of the Chinese game industry, and even surpassed "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike" for a time, which is really amazing!
When Chen Tianqiao heard this, he was quite proud, thinking that back then, Shanda Company only had 300,000 US dollars, but I tried my best to disagree with the public, broke the boat, and used 300,000 US dollars to act as an agent for "Legend", and then used this contract to fool Telecom and the computer room to give himself broadband and computer room on credit, otherwise, how could there be Shanda Company today?
Chen Tianqiao was proud in his heart, but he said: "Haha, Mr. Sun's praise is false, compared with you, it is not worth mentioning! Under your wise leadership, SoftBank has become one of the world's top 500 enterprises!"
Flower sedan chairs carry people and praise each other.
After a while, I was in the office.
Son Zhengyi said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I admire you very much, so I plan to invest in Shanda Company!"
Chen Tianqiao was overjoyed, even though he had already guessed that Son would invest in Shanda.
"Mr. Sun, how much do you plan to invest?"
Son thought in his heart that the popularity of game adaptations is indeed a development direction in the future. Shanda has made a name for itself in China and is synonymous with the Chinese gaming industry, second only to Flamingo. Although "Legend of Blood" suffered heavy losses due to abduction and private service, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still one of the most popular games in China at the moment. It is said that Shanda's own independent development of "World of Legends" has been completed and will be released soon.
"SoftBank invests $100 million in Shanda, and Shanda Group can sell 25% of the shares. At this time, Son Masayoshi spoke, invest a little more, take a little more shares of Shanda, and increase SoftBank's voice in Shanda Group.
Hearing this, Chen Tianqiao's people were all shocked.
It is rumored that Sonoshi of SoftBank Company made a decisive and domineering move, and sure enough!
Chen Tianqiao and the others looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
The grand of this life is not as rich as the grand of the previous life, and now it is in urgent need of a huge amount of money for turnover. In addition, as long as there is money, Shanda can go to South Korea to represent more games and make more money!
The tempting conditions put forward by Masayoshi Son are simply impossible to refuse!
Chen Tianqiao and the others were all moved.
"Ahem, Mr. Sun, Shanda Group is willing to accept SoftBank's investment!" Chen Tianqiao stretched out his hand and smiled.
"We have enjoyed a happy cooperation, and I believe that Shanda Group will become one of the best game companies in the world with the support of SoftBank!"
At noon, Masayoshi Son signed an investment agreement with Chen Tianqiao on behalf of SoftBank, which was simply astonishingly fast.
"Mr. Sun, look, it's noon, I'm the east, invite you to dinner, don't shirk!" Chen Tianqiao said.
Son smiled and nodded.
……
In the box of a star-rated hotel, there is a staggered amount of money.
Masayoshi Son was happy that he had successfully invested in Shanda, raised his glass and said: "Mr. Chen, Shanda Group can grow rapidly with this investment, and I hope you will make persistent efforts to create brilliance and become the largest game company in China!!"
"Thank you Mr. Sun for his words!" Chen Tianqiao's face was red, and he didn't know if he was excited or drunk.
At this time, Chen Tianqiao was in high spirits, as if he saw Shanda Group winning the hegemony of China's game industry.
In the past, Flamingo was like an unattainable mountain in his eyes, but since "Legend of Blood" defeated "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike" to become the most popular game in China, Chen Tianqiao's mind has changed, and Flamingo is not unbeatable. If you have one, you can defeat Flamingo once, and you can defeat it a second time!
Shanda Group spent a huge amount of money to develop "World of Legends" and gave great hopes, although "World of Legends" plagiarized "Legend of Blood", so hat?
Son put down his wine glass and asked, "Mr. Chen, when will "World of Legends" be officially released?"
"On the night of November 30th!!!" Chen Tianqiao said.
Son Masayoshi suddenly thought of something and muttered, "The first online game developed by Blizzard, World of Warcraft, seems to be in open beta on November 30th?"
Chen Tianqiao smiled with great confidence: "Haha, Mr. Sun doesn't have to worry, Shanda Company is unanimously optimistic about "World of Legends", and if "World of Warcraft" comes to China, it will only be crushed by "World of Legends"!"
In Chen Tianqiao's view, "World of Legends" was changed from "Legend of Blood", and "World of Warcraft" was changed from "Warcraft". In the Chinese game market, Legend has the largest number of players.
