Chapter 119: On Movies (I)
That's right, Niu Yun, the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", who is the first god writer of online literature and has set off a phenomenal reading frenzy, and Xu Tian, the newcomer of the year, are about to personally design and participate in the development and production of the game, which is the popular "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" on the earth!
PUBG, also known as Chicken, is a tactical competitive shooter sandbox game.
In this game, players need to collect various resources on the game map and fight other players in an ever-shrinking safe area to survive until the end.
In addition to winning the President's Award, G-STAR's highest award, as well as five other awards, PUBG also broke seven Guinness records.
"The fastest Steam Early Access game to reach a record of 1 million sales"
"The fastest Steam Early Access game to generate $100 million in revenue"
"The first title to reach a maximum of 2 million simultaneous players on Steam"
"The most played Steam games"
"The most concurrent Early Access game on Steam"
"Highest number of non-Valve games on Steam"
"The first non-Valve game to reach the highest number of players on Steam"
Good luck, eat chicken tonight!
In China, I don't know how popular this sentence is when the player jumps out when he steps on the bones of countless enemies to survive to the end.
This game is simply synonymous with miracles!
It is such a popular game on the earth, so Xu Tian also has every reason to believe that this game can also shine in Azure Star.
When he took the trouble to explain the game-related settings to Chen Tianhai, the head of Tencent Games, the veteran professional who has been in the industry for more than 20 years was quite flat.
Chen Tianhai: Well, the idea is good, it is indeed feasible, and the difficulty of research and development will not be very high, we can take over, but the time period may be a little longer.
Xu Tian: Okay, if it's convenient, let's sign a contract as soon as possible and start the operation, the sooner the better.
Chen Tianhai: Mr. Xu, according to my experience, the cost of development of such a rich game, including labor costs, will exceed 10 million. If you think it's okay, then we will make a research and development plan on the same day, do you think it's okay?
This means reminding Xu Tian that making games burns more money, and it is better for you to have a general psychological preparation.
Of course Xu Tian knew what he meant.
Ten million?
Is it a lot?
Xu Tian: My budget is less than 17 million RMB, which should be enough.
There was a report on Earth that "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" made a profit of $250 million in the first quarter, but the R&D expenses were less than 1%, which means that according to the exchange rate at the time of game development, the R&D cost of the PUBG game on Earth was less than 2.5 million US dollars, that is, less than 17 million yuan.
Chen Tianhai was overjoyed, and when he opened his mouth, he was 17 million yuan, and he was rich and lewd! He shouted enough in ecstasy, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be very calm, and he couldn't talk too much.
Chen Tianhai: If it's 17 million, it's almost enough, and you can make the game within this budget.
Xu Tian: In terms of time, can it be completed within 10 months?
It took less than a year for the Blue Hole Company on Earth to develop and complete this game, and Tencent's R&D team is stronger than a stick.
Chen Tianhai: This is still not accurate, you can try, and wait for the research and development plan to come out and give you a relatively accurate answer.
Xu Tian: How long does it take to come up with a plan?
Although he is not in a hurry, in order to put some pressure on the R&D team, he still has to pretend to be a difficult face, so as not to slack off easily.
Chen Tianhai: Your overall design for this game has almost taken shape, and the design plan will come out within a week, so I have to ask you to help see if there is anything that needs to be added.
Xu Tian: Okay, then let's preliminarily sign the contract in early August.
Xu Tian thought that he should be very busy in August, after all, he had become popular overnight, and even if he was not recording the show, he should have to start dealing with various scenes, so he didn't set the day to death - in just this week, five or six advertising companies have called him to ask him to be an endorsement.
Of course, Xu Tian didn't agree, nor did he refuse, he was just playing Tai Chi first and letting people dry first, he wasn't thinking about the question of whether he should accept advertising, after all, receiving advertisements is very profitable, but at present, he still doesn't have a detailed assessment of his worth, and when the time comes, he will be cheapened by people at a low price, and there is no place to cry, so it's better to wait and see - wait and see if there is really no money to use before considering receiving advertisements.
However, it was useless, Lin Jianguo sent him such a large fortune on his hind feet.
Therefore, money is not worried, and in the future, when you receive advertisements and activities, you can simply consider increasing your popularity, without bending your waist for money, resulting in this hard-won huge popularity being over-consumed.
The rich and capricious is Xu Tian from today onwards, and he can unceremoniously reject all the messy and smoky garbage endorsement advertisements that will affect his popularity and image.
After the initial communication with Chen Tianhai, the director of Tencent Games, and adding WeChat to each other, Xu Tian went to Lin Jianguo again: Lao Lin, by the way, do you know a well-known director, I have a script here and want to find someone to make a movie.
It only took less than a minute for Lin Jianguo to reply: Yes.
Then there were five text message prompts in a row, and Lin Jianguo directly pushed the > of five people Lin Jianguo: The first Zhang Qihong, the second Xu Kong, the third Ma Xiaoyu, the third Liu Qifan, the fourth Lin Jun, and the fifth Gao Yi are all famous directors, and if you add them, they will be introduced by me.
Xu Tian sent a thank you and began to search for the details of these directors on the Internet.
Sure enough, they are all well-known directors in Shanghua, and their status in the Shanghua entertainment circle is equivalent to China's Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Wang Jing, and the entire entertainment industry will tremble three times if they stomp their feet.
The status is similar, but the results of the movies they shoot are a bit miserable compared with those big directors in China......
Xu Tian checked, among these individuals, Liu Qifan is the most awesome, and the highest achievement is the highest-grossing film "Fighting Ghosts Tonight" made in Shanghua a year ago, with a total box office of more than 96 million!
More than 96 million – what is the concept?
All Chinese know that in 2018, what other movies are counted in the tens of millions?
But it is this kind of dismal achievement, which is a top honor to be proud of in the blue star of the entertainment industry.
So Xu Tian didn't think much about it, so he chose to dock with this Liu Qifan, after all, since he wants to make a movie, he has to invite the best director team.
