Chapter 376: Shadow and Game Linkage

When the New Venture Publishing Group collected Jin Yong's fanfiction on a large scale, the new venture game and film and television related companies also began to come out and launched the film and game linkage planning of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

"The copyrights of Jin Yong's 14 films are all in my hands, but I definitely won't make them all in one go. Only do fine, a year to focus on the development of 1~2 investment. Each IP makes full use of its influence, and games, film and television are produced together. When it is listed, it can also be promoted and ...... linkage," Lin Qi said with a smile, "This year, only one "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will be produced, but the scale of investment cannot be low. Film and television plus games, with a total investment budget of less than 500 million. Games account for 60% of the budget, and film and television account for 40%! In the future, we will invest according to this scale every year, and the investment scale of Jin Yong's copyright development every year is not lower than this number, and it will continue to rise steadily!"

"Boss, we Fantasy World Company, don't have so much money. Xu Xinyue, the head of Fantasy World, said.

"Fantasy World Company is responsible for collecting money at this stage. The investment amount is invested by the brother units of the new entrepreneurship department, and Fantasy World enjoys 5% of the global sales as a copyright share. For example, the total investment in the game and movie of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is 5 billion, assuming that the total box office and game sales in the global market are 1 billion. Regardless of the investor's profit or loss, the fantasy company will directly take 50 million shares!" Lin Qi said with a smile, "In the future, the fantasy world company will have a little bit of it, and its IP can be invested by itself." ”

When Xu Xinyue heard this, she couldn't help but feel relieved. Xu Xinyue is also a veteran employee of the new entrepreneurship department, but unfortunately she didn't join the company at the beginning, and she didn't get a lot of equity. is only working in the company's administrative department, and you can't be like those technical masters, pulling the flag and pulling the team to develop products, and after the big sale, lie down and count the money.

Because, the group company is not high or low, seeing that after the group company issued an announcement to recruit people to create a new company, Lin Qi gritted his teeth and gave up the stable work of the group company for four years and went to the new company as the person in charge.

Although the group company retains its establishment, it is only for two years. Within two years, she was asked to choose whether to stay in the new company or return to the new venture electronics group. If the new company has a future, she is of course willing to be her domineering president, not the original ordinary white-collar worker.

The game planning of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is actually divided into two parts. Of course, the character design, painting style is partly similar, and the world view is also similar, but the theme and platform of the game are different.

One game is the Fighting Game (FTG) on the arcade platform that Phoenix Games is responsible for investing in and developing. Unfortunately, this game is not the originator of fighting games.

Because, the earliest fighting game was "Kung Fu" launched by KONAMI in 85, historically, this game was launched on the red and white machine, but the red and white machine in this parallel world has long since died. Therefore, "Kung Fu" was released on the Pangu platform. Of course, the originator of this fighting game only sold 300,000 copies, and on the Pangu platform, games that sold less than one million copies, are embarrassed to say that they are big sellers.

Just because Kung Fu is a game that hasn't been well received doesn't mean that fighting games don't have a future. It's because this originator game is too shabbyly made, and the console platform is not the best platform for fighting games.

Historically, it was also in '87 that CAPCOM launched the Street Fighter series, which quickly ignited the passion of gamers for fighting games. In the 90s, there were "Samurai Shodown", "The King of Fighters", "Iron Fist" and other high-quality products in the market, making fighting games quickly become the most popular game genre in the arcade.

Phoenix Games is responsible for the development of an arcade fighting game with "Smiling Proud Jianghu" as the IP. The budget of this game will be no less than $30 million, which is definitely a monster masterpiece.

In addition, the game development team within the new venture electronics group will also develop an action role-playing game based on the Pangu platform based on the IP of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Action RPGs are a bit more technically difficult than traditional RPGs.

The role-playing masterpieces of later generations are basically action role-playing games. The biggest difference between this kind of game and traditional role-playing is that the combat mode is real-time. And traditional role-playing games, most of the battles are semi-real-time or turn-based, and more rudimentary, RPGs and even battles cut corners, and the main selling point is to look at the plot text, not so much a game, but a film with pictures and background music. The whole process is nothing more than a little bit, a dialog box dialog box, a selection selection selection, and then, after the complete plot, the game ends.

As a new start-up electronics company at the forefront of the game technology of the Pangu platform, it is natural that it will not do that kind of garbage game. Including "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which is also a traditional role-playing game. Previously, because the hardware level of the platform was insufficient, I had to make games of that level.

However, the hardware level of the platform has improved, and the new venture electronics group naturally makes games according to higher hardware configurations. Even, the hardware requirements of the game are made in accordance with the high-end configuration of the current Pangu platform, and the machine with a lower configuration should not consider playing the latest games.

After all, semiconductor technology around the world is still developing rapidly, and if you make games according to the current mainstream configuration, after the game is launched, it may not be able to amaze the market. Raising the configuration requirements not only allows the game to have more surprises, but also stimulates some users with low configurations to upgrade their hardware configurations.

……

The film "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is led by a new venture film and television company.

This version of the movie is still Tsui Hark. Although, Tsui Hark Film Studio is a subsidiary of Golden Princess Entertainment Group. However, the influence of the Golden Princess is far from being compared with the new entrepreneurship department, and just a VCD issuance market is enough to crush the distribution channel of the Golden Princess into slag. Therefore, when Tsui Hark Studio was invited to participate in the production, the new start-up film and television company also greeted the Golden Princess Entertainment Company, allowing the Golden Princess Company to invest 20 million yuan, so that it could occupy a little share. As for Tsui Hark Film Studio, it relied on the contribution of people, which was converted into an investment of 30 million yuan.

The new start-up film and television company invested 150 million yuan.

In other words, following "Opium War", the new venture film and television group began to burn money to play 200 million investment blockbusters. In the whole of Hong Kong, only the new entrepreneurship department can afford to play, and the total investment of other film companies is not enough for a blockbuster film of the new entrepreneurship department.

Historically, the movie version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" originally invited the famous martial arts director Hu Jinquan to direct. But in fact, Hu Jinzhuan had to quit halfway because of a conflict with Tsui Hark's creative concept. In the end, "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which implemented Tsui Hark's production concept, was born.

And now the new start-up film and television company directly does not consider the director who is too old, but directly chooses Tsui Hark, who has emerged in recent years.
