Chapter 604: "Minecraft" is born!
Although Ang Lee's cross talk in the preliminary round of the National Cross Talk Contest became popular, more people thought it was a fluke.
It's just Ang Lee's luck!
Many people don't believe that Ang Lee's cross talk will be so brilliant, because cross talk is too much of a test of talent and innovation ability.
Ang Lee's first cross talk was successful because of his surprise.
But at the same time that Ang Lee's cross talk was popular, the audience also adapted to Ang Lee's cross talk, and also adapted to Ang Lee's cross talk.
If Ang Lee can't come up with something new behind him, or can't come up with innovative jokes, it's hard to say whether the audience will buy it.
Moreover, Ang Lee is a layman after all, he is not a professional cross talk actor. In the hearts of many people, Ang Lee is not far from the regular traditional cross talk actors.
Therefore, Ang Lee said that cross talk is still not favored after all, and in the eyes of many people, he can't be compared with traditional cross talk actors.
The preliminary round of the National Cross Talk Contest is divided into five sessions in total, which will be broadcast on CCTV 2 every Thursday night.
Aside from the first episode that Ang Lee has already broadcast, there are still four preliminary rounds behind.
In other words, after Ang Lee's preliminary round, there is still nearly a month left before the semi-final can participate in the recording.
And in the past month, in addition to working with his partner Lu Yuhao, Ang Lee pondered the book and practiced together. For a while, Ang Lee spent time at the company of Tengxun.
Because, with Ma Huateng's development and research, a game that Ang Lee took out at the World Game Exhibition Week in Paris, France last year can finally be released.
This game was once popular all over the world in Ang Lee's world, and the name of this game is, "Minecraft"!
After receiving the software for this game given by Ang Lee, Ma Huateng and their company team have been developing and researching this game.
Now, after months of development, the game is finally ready to be released!
After learning the news, Ang Lee was very happy and excited! He even stayed in the company for the days when the game was successfully developed and innovated, waiting for the outcome of this matter!
This game is a money-making cash cow!
In the future, Ang Lee will open his own studio, make his own films, and create his own works, which will inevitably use money.
Moreover, some big-budget movies can be said to be very money-burning, which is a good example of Marvel's hero movies such as Iron Man and Superman, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn.
Therefore, now for Ang Lee, it is necessary to work hard to save money and lay the foundation for many big moves in the future.
Although Ang Lee knows that when you make a successful film, there will be a large number of sponsors who will favor you, but that is only after you succeed.
For example, if Ang Lee is opening a studio and is a fledgling, this kind of sponsor does not need to be considered.
It's better for him to make more money on his own and save it for later, which is more practical.
In the past few days, Ang Lee has also set a release date for the game with Ma Huateng.
This new sandbox game will be released next Saturday!
The release of "Minecraft" this time can be said to be different from the release of "Grand Theft Auto 5".
This time, because the company has a certain influence in the world, this game is only available exclusively to the company.
In this way, it can also allow the company to grow and develop its reputation after the game is a big hit.
For a game company, the measure of the value and capital of the game company is how many games the game company has developed, researched and released, and what kind of achievements and sales records these games have achieved.
For example, Pete Games, the world's largest game company, has become a giant of the world's game companies because League of Legends has become a global hit and popular all over the world.
This is the face of the game company, so this time for the game "Minecraft", Ang Lee and Ma Huateng both refused to be a global agent.
The reason why the first game, "Grand Theft Auto 5", was represented by an American company was because Ang Lee and Tengxun had no reputation at the beginning.
Therefore, this kind of agency is very necessary, mainly to make a name for yourself.
Now the name of the game has also been played, of course, there is still money, and it is good to earn it by yourself and not to flow into the fields of outsiders, you can earn it, why give it to foreigners for nothing.
However, although the game Minecraft will have its world premiere next Saturday, the promotion of the game cannot be left untouched.
Ang Lee discussed with Ma Huateng that the reason why the game should be released in the world next Saturday is mainly due to the lack of publicity in this regard.
Now, with a little more than a week to go until next Saturday, the company will have to ramp up the promotion of the game, both domestically and internationally.
The high playability of the game itself, coupled with large channels and a lot of publicity, is a necessary condition for a game to sell well.
Therefore, on the afternoon of the successful development of "Minecraft", the staff under Ma Huateng had already contacted the promoters of the game channel to start buying various promotional advertisements and officially began to promote the game.
So, that afternoon, some video sites, some pirated websites, and some game forums were all about Minecraft's game advertisements.
Moreover, this time, after Ma Huateng sold "Grand Theft Auto 5", he had funds in his hands, and he naturally spared no effort in publicity, and publicity from various channels rolled in.
Nearly 10 million yuan was spent on publicity through various channels at home and abroad alone.
10 million is a huge amount of money for many domestic game companies, but after suddenly getting rich and becoming the first domestic game manufacturer, this 10 million is really nothing!
In particular, Ma Huateng has great admiration for the game "Minecraft", and he believes that this game will be a masterpiece comparable to "League of Legends" and a work of art in the gaming industry.
So, for the sake of the hot sale of this game, 10 million is also worth it!
Regarding Ma Huateng's decision, Li An just watched quietly from the side, and did not intervene in the slightest to ask more.
Because, in Ang Lee's heart, even if he spends 100 million dollars to promote the game "Minecraft", Ang Lee is willing to spend it.
After all, this game is the second-best-selling game in Ang Lee's world, with 122 million sales worldwide, and sales have increased every year since its release eight years ago, second only to Tetris, the best-selling game.
