Chapter 340: Dead End
For the sake of their own lives, the company's employees unanimously decided to place a large glass piggy bank on the first floor of the company, which contained not money but blades given by the audience. Everyone laughed and said that they were warned, but in fact, everyone was not at ease at all, but the first time they saw this situation, they were stunned for a moment, and they just spit out by the way.
In the past nine months, Wang Ming has seen a lot of big scenes, and when the soul of the writer is burned, it doesn't matter what the reader thinks in his heart, he chooses whatever stomach medicinal acid, like the stone in the pit, not asking for fragrance for ten miles, but for ten thousand years.
In the past few months since "Fate zero" was broadcast, Wang Ming is sure that he must have been stinking for 10,000 years. At the first conference after the year, Wang Ming joked that his purpose was to collect 3.3 billion blades.
As soon as the meeting ended, Wang Ming unexpectedly received a call from the president of Dragon Fantasy Technology.
"What, you said you were going to ask for a manuscript?"
After thousands of calculations, Wang Ming didn't expect the other party to call and make an appointment.
Dragon Fantasy Technology's Sword and Sorcery has won the title of the world's most popular game for 10 consecutive years. With an average of 20 million online players per day and a record of 52 million, this number will still be unsurpassable even in a few years.
It's impossible not to be surprised by such a worldwide game and ask for a manuscript.
Ten years ago, Dragon Fantasy Technology set up a huge creative team, and what this group does every day is to think about the past and future of this continent, and the source of every update of the game comes from this group called SOM. It stands to reason that the world that dozens of people have spent ten years paving little by little will not be able to dictate their turn at all, as long as Dragon Fantasy Technology makes a movie or TV series, it will definitely cause a sensation.
He told Gu Jianyong, president of Dragon Fantasy Technology, his idea, but he smiled.
"Our game has developed to a bottleneck, according to statistics, in the past three years, the number of players who have established accounts in "Sword and Sorcery" has decreased at a rate of 10% per year, and most of the players who have established accounts are in their thirties and their careers have entered a stable period, which is tantamount to stifling its growth for a game, and no game can be immortalized by a bunch ......of old men."
Putting down the phone in a daze, Wang Ming gently patted his drowsy head with his hand, with a wry smile on his face, he couldn't refuse the other party at all.
For large companies, renting a server to someone else is a huge risk in itself, and if someone buries a backdoor in the server to steal user information, it is not a matter that can be settled by paying hundreds of thousands of dollars if they are caught.
Dragon Fantasy Technology has the information of nearly 300 million people, and once it is stolen, I am afraid that it will not be enough to pay for it. Even if you don't lose money, as long as the incident is exposed by the media, it is not a pain that the twilight Dragon Fantasy Technology can bear. In the matter of renting a server, the other party took a huge risk, and Wang Ming couldn't say no at all, even if he knew that the other party had the mentality of gambling, Wang Ming still had to accept this feeling.
Fortunately, the other party did not stipulate that it must be created in the world context of "Sword and Magic", otherwise Wang Ming would not care about this kind of thing, more than a dozen writers have worked hard for nearly ten years, but they have made their two knives ugly, and I am afraid that I will lose my face.
The key words of this draft are: games, swords, magic, human-beasts, and combat......
Wang Ming has seen animations related to it such as "Sword Art Online", "King of the Undead", and "Recorded Horizon", and Wang Ming ruled out the third one the moment the three works were listed. The author of this animation, Orange Nai Maki, was banned because of tax evasion and animation, and after hearing the news, Wang Ming didn't make up the second part, even though this animation is very suitable for "Sword and Magic".
As for "The King of the Undead", this animation was also unfortunately lost. Wang Ming hasn't watched this animation, which is full of starting point routines, and he doesn't know about non-animated plots, so he has no choice but to say sorry for the animation he once liked.
In the end, "Sword Art Online" remains. Wang Ming knows a lot about this animation.
"Sword Art Online" has won the top five of the annual ranking of "This Light and Really Powerful" for seven consecutive years. As the second work of Dengeki Library, which has sold more than 10 million in China, its value is incalculable.
For a light film, its related industrial value is reflected in itself, adapted games, adapted comics and animation peripherals.
For "Sword Art Online" itself, the sales volume in that world that does not pay attention to copyright exceeded 20 million, and according to the calculation of 35RMB per volume, it is about 700 million.
For the "Sword Art Online" anime, according to the broadcast cost of popular Japanese animation, the total cost is estimated to be between 200 million and 300 million, plus the benefits brought by the million sales of BD/DVD, the total value is about 700 million, a total of 1 billion.
For the adapted manga and peripherals of "Sword Art Online", no one can give an accurate value except for the shipping company. But this part must be easy to create a value of two or three billion.
Two billion, this is the data in that world where piracy is rampant, and the value created by Blue Star will be doubled. If it is really linked to the world's most popular game, Sword and Sorcery, the value created by animation will be immeasurable. Wealth is moving, even if Wang Ming says that he doesn't care, but when such a big benefit is put in front of him, he still says that he is not moved...... That's absolutely deceptive.
No matter how tempting you are, you can't stand it, and there is no one under your hands.
Originally, the two teams of the Heavenly King and the Soul Painting Group were split into four groups by Wang Ming, and these four teams were responsible for works such as "Fate zero" and "Demon Forbidden", and "EVA" could only be in the back row, not to mention "Sword Art Online".
Most of the employees recruited at the job fair are not mature enough, and Wang Ming is ready to let these people practice with the four groups for a period of time before becoming independent, but now it seems that he can't wait.
During the New Year's holiday, Wang Ming considered the issue of publishing, but after careful calculation, the sales of one or two volumes could only be far from quenching the thirst, and it might as well be regarded as a benefit for readers.
The whole company couldn't understand Wang Ming's urgency at all.
For the company, most of the economic accumulation is calculated on an annual basis, but here Wang Ming is calculated by days and seconds, and he doesn't know what the hell is in a hurry.
"EVA" is a big money eater, and the benefits of Bilibili are difficult to support its expenses, and the funds obtained from the loan are invested in the deep pit of the server. It is impossible for the company to stop the development of an animation that may become popular in the future, so Wang Ming can only choose one of the two happily now.
After sitting in the office and thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ming couldn't think of a way to get money quickly. Of course, unless he has a brain in the water, he will choose to sell the broadcast rights of "Fate zero" at this time.
So, he came to a dead end.
