331 There are too many ideas for a good game, how to choose?
Wu Cao Game Company, the meaning of the name is actually very simple, Wu is Wu Haotian's Wu, Cao is Cao Xiong's Cao, and the combination is Wu Cao.
It's simple and straightforward, but the folks at Wolverine Game Studios can't be calm.
Because they usually hear the leaf drooping foul mouth, and it is also a foul mouth after some modifications, that is, the groove.
This is too similar to Wu Cao Game Company.
Therefore, Wu Cao Game Company immediately made everyone in the studio feel a funny atmosphere.
Of course, after laughing, the rest of the studio turned grim again.
Because they understand that this Wu Cao game company is completely aimed at Ye Chui.
Wu Haotian is the only person in the game world who can match Ye Chui, and even some time ago, some people once preached that Wu Haotian would surpass Ye Chui, of course, in the end, with the rise of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, this argument did not appear.
But it is undeniable that Wu Haotian's talent in games is indeed commendable.
The sea breeze company he set up, since the first Legend of the Sky Wolf, has always regarded challenging Ye Chui as a gimmick, and with the original good quality of the game, although the sales volume is a lot different, but for other game development companies, it is also out of reach.
The only thing he lacked, I fear, was money.
Seabreeze's most famous Sirius series has formed a brand with regular game users, but the average investment in each one does not exceed half a million, which seriously limits the quality of the game, as some critics have said. If Wu Haotian has enough funds, then he is the most qualified person to challenge Professor Fork.
And now, his money is coming.
According to the report on the Internet, this Wu Cao game company, after Cao Xiong's capital injection, has become the largest professional game development company in the industry - this is excluding Ye Chui's Wolverine Game Studio, because Ye Chui's Wolverine Game Studio scale, funding and other elements are no longer the standard.
But no matter what, Wu Cao Game Company is already the company that challenges Ye Chui's qualifications the most.
on the plane.
Seeing this news report, everyone laughed and felt a bit of trickiness, this is a powerful opponent.
Don't talk about Wu Haotian. Let's just say Cao Xiong. This person who definitely hates them to the bone, and this time he will definitely pose a great threat to the studio by joining forces with Wu Haotian.
However, everyone in the studio was vaguely worried. But Ye Shui still looks indifferent. He even gently picked up the sobering wine provided on the plane and took a sip gently.
"Brother Fork. Don't you feel oppressed? Fang Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Feeling oppressive?" Ye Trai smiled faintly, "There will be some large development companies gradually emerging in the game industry, and this will definitely become a trend." If I feel oppressed every time, it's too tiring. ”
Hearing Ye Trai say this, everyone nodded, feeling that what Ye Trai said also made some sense.
Of course, what really makes the leaf lobe not oppressive is that-
"I don't take these companies seriously." Ye Chui finally followed leisurely, "I can take out as much as I want for a game of this level like the Legend of Sword and Fairy, and their challenge is just a trivial matter." ”
Ye Chui's words made everyone stunned, he rarely spoke like this when he was full of confidence and even narcissism, but Ye Chui was not the kind of person who would boast about himself, so they believed Ye Chui's words in an instant, and they seemed to be full of enthusiasm for a moment.
Fang Xi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Fork, then what game are we going to develop next?" ”
"What's next?" The leaf lobe felt a little headache.
There are too many ideas for a good game, how to choose?
……
Thinking about what kind of game to develop next, it was a headache for Ye Chui, and he couldn't decide in a short time.
But Ye has decided to continue developing a role-playing game next.
The game engine made by developing the Legend of Sword and Fairy, the Sword Rain Engine, still needs to be upgraded to improve performance, and Ye Trai doesn't want to take care of other games in a short period of time, so the next game developed by Ye Trai will naturally be a role-playing game.
There are so many games to choose from......
Putting aside this headache for the time being, Ye Chui came to the magazine office of the comic king on the afternoon of returning to Yanjing.
It's completely different from the last time I came here, there are a lot more office workers here, after all, the popularity of the game has been hit, and the weekly sales of 500,000 copies can already be called a popular magazine.
The office also needs to add many staff members to keep the magazine running on a day-to-day basis.
Ye Trai came over this time because he received a communication from Zhou Yayun shortly after getting off the plane, saying that someone was lying in the studio and had to meet with Ye Trai - Pu Hall.
Pu Hall is the chief cartoonist of Batman, because he has a reputation, he is full of bids with Ye Chui, and is kicked away by Ye Chui.
Now that more than half a month has passed, he finally can't hold his breath and comes to Ye Chui.
"Mr. Ye!" In the editor-in-chief's studio, as soon as Pu Hall saw Ye Chui, he eagerly walked a few steps quickly and came to Ye Chui, "Two hundred yuan, I am willing to help you draw at the price of two hundred yuan a page in the future, how about it?" ”
Ye Trai smiled faintly: "This price seems to be much lower than the price you offered before." ”
"I heard that you and a few other people have offered this price, so I have to keep it the same as everyone else, don't I?" Pu Hall said with a haha, "Mr. Ye, I apologized to you for my drunken words when I drank a few more glasses of wine before." ”
Ye Trai smiled faintly, missed the body of the Pu Hall, and walked to Zhou Yayun's side in the office: "Mom, how are the sales of the single book issued some time ago?" ”
Zhou Yayun was originally dealing with the Pu Hall, and when he saw his son coming, he didn't speak again, and when he heard Ye Chui's question, he said: "The sales are good, the sales of Dragon Ball are the highest, and the first volume has reached 500,000 copies." And it will continue to sell after that, Slam Dunk, Youyou Baishu, and Fengyun are all about 300,000 copies of sales, as for Batman, although the sales are a little bad, but it has also reached 200,000. In addition, the sales of the two volumes of the Legend of the Condor Heroes are also very good, both reaching 600,000 copies, which is the best selling of several books, and the novels are different from the comics, their sales in the future will definitely be only high, not low, and the Street Fighter novel version has the worst results. But 100,000 copies have been sold. ”
Zhou Yayun kept the sales data in mind. I didn't need to check the information to tell the sales of a few single books.
In the Chinese publishing market, 100,000 copies of physical publications can already be regarded as best-sellers, and can reach the level of 300,000 or 400,000. It's already a super bestseller.
Hear these sales reports. Ye Hang groaned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "Mom, I promised to give them red envelopes before, and the sales results are so good." Give them a red envelope according to 10% of the income of each single book. ”
"I'm already preparing for this, so to speak." Zhou Yayun nodded.
The eyes of the Pu Hall next to him suddenly widened, and ten percent of the income was not a small amount of money.
His Batman sales reached 200,000, a single book deducts the cost, and if the income of each magazine here is five yuan, the total income is one million, five percent, isn't it 100,000?
When he helped Ye Trai draw Batman before, he only earned seven or eight thousand a month at most!
"Mr. Ye......" Pu Hall immediately smiled and came up.
"That's right." Ye Chui saw that Pu Hall seemed to have just thought of something, and said to his mother, "There is no need to prepare a red envelope for Mr. Pu. ”
"What!?"
Pu Hall was dumbfounded: "Why? Why don't you give me red envelopes? ”
"You have terminated the contract with me, and there are no more financial disputes, you should not have forgotten this, right?" Ye Trai asked coldly.
"But this money is what I deserve, I ...... I'm going to sue you! Pu Hall said emotionally.
Ye Chui shrugged indifferently: "Whatever, the red envelope is just my personal reward, not in the reward clause of the contract at all, I want to see how you plan to sue me." ”
"......" Pu Hall suddenly had nothing to say, but his face was flushed with anger.
He originally thought that he was very important in the comic book king magazine, and Batman had to be drawn by him, so he was able to bargain with Ye Trai in the last signing event, and then left with a proud face afterwards, he thought that Ye Trai would definitely go to him at a high price and ask him to come back, and at that time he would naturally raise his value fiercely.
However, he didn't expect that he had never received contact from Ye Chui, and he didn't seem to care about him at all...... How could he be calm?
Batman can draw besides him!?
"My art style has been accepted by Batman fans, and if you change people again, I'm sure it will cause readers to turn off!" Pu Hall is making a final struggle.
"Not necessarily." Zhou Yayun opened her mouth and said, she took out a brand new comic book from the bookshelf on the side, and turned the pages, "The story of Batman has been temporarily suspended for two issues, and then it will continue in the next issue, but a new chapter will be launched, the first issue of the scarecrow chapter We have already conducted a trial meeting, judging from the response, at least it is more popular than the origin chapter you drew before, and in this regard, it may be a better choice to replace you." ”
"What...... This...... This can't be ......" Pu Hall snatched the comic, looking at the Batman story he was familiar with, the familiar shape, but this story was no longer his main writer.
He suddenly felt regretful, and hurriedly threw away the comic book and rushed to Ye Chui: "Mr. Ye, please give me another chance, one hundred yuan, the price of one hundred yuan, I am willing to continue to help you draw...... No, eighty dollars, eighty dollars, I'm willing to continue to help you draw Batman! ”
"I'm sorry, I've found a new cartoonist." Ye Chui said lightly.
Zhou Yayun had already simply said directly to the communication light brain in the office: "Security! ”
A moment later, the security guard walked in and pulled the Pu Hall out at Ye Chui's signal.
Pu Hall's personality is a bit extreme and noisy, but in the end he was dragged out by the security guards.
Zhou Yayun breathed a sigh of relief: "Pu Hall is usually the most uncooperative one, once I asked the editor to ask him for a manuscript, but he not only couldn't get the manuscript, but finally injured the editor in a hurry, his personality is problematic, let him leave is a good choice." ”
"Hmm." Ye Chui nodded, he didn't have to feel guilty about the problem of the Pu Hall at all, who was to blame for his own death.
Outside the magazine.
Pu Hall was still indignant, looking a little embarrassed, but the expression on his face became more and more fierce.
"What's so great about the King of Comics, if you don't have a place here, you naturally have a place to stay for me!" Pu immediately opened his own newsletter and contacted a new manga magazine that had been dismissing him before.
Since the popularity of Manga King, various manga magazines have sprung up, and the magazine called Manga King is one of them.
After connecting with the editor-in-chief of the manga king, Pu Hall immediately smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I consider your previous suggestion and want to join your comic magazine, it just so happens that I have an idea about the owl hero that I want to adapt into a comic, and I believe it will definitely achieve good results." ”
- Ye Chui painted Batman, then he talked about Owl Man.
It feels like owls are much more powerful than bats, right?
(PS: There are real comic book heroes in the image of owls, such as the night stalkers in Watchmen, and among Batman's enemies, there is also an organization called owls...... (To be continued......)
