Chapter 498: Expectation
Tell us about your success in the film and television field? As soon as such an idea came out, Lin Yuquan immediately shook his head, the theme of the annual meeting of Chinese business leaders is "opening a new thirty years", his speech must be in line with this theme, and his speech is aimed at all entrepreneurs who participate in the annual meeting, there are few entrepreneurs who do the entertainment industry, and it is obviously not in line with their success in the film and television field.
Since it is the beginning of a new 30 years, it is obviously to undertake the past 30 years, and can effectively summarize the past 30 years only the 30 years of reform and opening up, 30 years ago in 1978, with the convening of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of great historical significance, opened a new historical period of reform and opening up.
The 30 years of reform and opening up are 30 years of rapid and vigorous economic development, 30 years of steady development of education, 30 years of continuous innovation in China's aerospace industry, 30 years of thriving sports in China, and 30 years of journey.
In terms of economy, in the past 30 years, China's economic construction has made remarkable achievements, with per capita GDP rising sharply from $149 in 1978 to $2,640 last year, an increase of as much as 17 times, and the total economic output has increased from 364.5 billion yuan in 1978 to 2,108.71 million yuan last year, an increase of 60 times. During this period, a large number of Chinese enterprises have also grown into globally competitive enterprises, especially in private enterprises, achieving qualitative breakthroughs. A large number of private enterprises and private entrepreneurs have stepped onto the world stage.
It's obvious. He said that we should integrate domestic and international factors for the future. In addition, the year 2008 was an extraordinary year for the world, as the subprime mortgage crisis on Wall Street spread around the world, triggering a global panic, and many companies suffered a heavy blow in the financial crisis at home. There are many more enterprises because of the background of the financial crisis, obviously not much loss, too frightened, in this context, this annual meeting of Chinese business leaders is bound to focus on the attitude towards the financial crisis.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuquan already had a clear answer to what he wanted to say
"Wild Legends" once again broke a new record, and the highest number of simultaneous online users in China exceeded 1.8 million." Kyoto Times.
"Korea Express, "Wild Story" hit a new high, and the number of local people online at the same time exceeded 500,000."
"Baodao Entertainment reported that the highest number of simultaneous online people on the island of "Wild Story" exceeded 550,000.
The myth continues. "Wild Wild" has the highest number of concurrent online users in the United States, reaching 1.5 million. ”
"Crazy mythology, the highest number of concurrent online users in the world has exceeded 4 million."
Thanks to the media. The Open Beta of Wild Stories continues to heat up around the world, breaking its own records and setting new global open beta records for online games almost every day.
The continuous good news made Lin Yuquan always maintain a happy mood even if he was busy with work.
"Boss, our "Wild Story" once again broke a new record, the highest number of simultaneous online users has exceeded 2 million, reaching 2.08 million, and this year was also the highest number of simultaneous online people in the history of China was set by NetEase's "Fantasy Journey to the West", which reached 2.06 million in April, and now we have surpassed it." Fang Yunhai couldn't hide his excitement and said, in four days, in just four days, "Wild Story" has reached a shocking result, before that, there is only "Fantasy Journey to the West" that has exceeded 2 million online games online at the same time.
"Oh, is it? It's good, but we can't be self-satisfied, and we can't take it lightly, other people's "Fantasy Journey to the West" is the number of operating paid users, and we are public beta users, the meaning is completely different. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Understood, boss." Fang Yunhai suddenly said calmly, the huge number of users of "Fantasy Journey to the West" can now bring NetEase more than 100 million revenue every month, while "Wild Story" is completely unknown, and the real test is far from coming.
"In addition to going all out to deal with the current public beta of "Wild Story" and the next official operation, the recruitment of technical talents for various positions must also continue, whether it is the economic crisis or the peak period of college graduates looking for jobs is an excellent opportunity for us to absorb talents, we need to set up a strong R & D team as soon as possible, so as to start the R & D task based on the domestic market." Lin Yuquan confessed.
"Okay, boss, we've been working on this before, and I'm confident that we'll be able to complete the task of building the team before the year." Fang Yunhai said confidently.
"Okay, I look forward to hearing your good news from Lao Fang soon." Lin Yuquan smiled.
Ending the call with Fang Yunhai, Lin Yuquan showed a satisfied smile on his face, in four days, the number of people online at the same time in the public beta exceeded 2 million, which is indeed a brilliant achievement, although it is not yet possible to determine how many users will pay in the end, but on the basis of such a large number of public beta users, the results of "Wild Legends" after its official operation must not be bad.
And if "Wild Wild" has achieved excellent results after its official global operation, then he can let go of a bigger layout in the game industry.
For the game industry, Lin Yuquan naturally has a lot of ambitions, especially in the domestic market, the world's largest population virtually makes China have incomparable development potential in many aspects of other countries and regions, including the game industry, as early as a few years ago, China was considered by the world's major game manufacturers to surpass the United States in the future to become the world's largest online game country, after all, the number of online game users in the United States is really limited, unlike China, with the rapid development of the economy and the high rise in computer penetration, The number of users has a huge upside.
In recent years, the domestic online game industry has also been in a period of rapid development, last year, the revenue scale of the domestic online game market exceeded 10 billion for the first time, and this year, according to the data released by iResearch. That number is already close to 20 billion. In terms of revenue size alone. It has far surpassed the traditional three major entertainment industries -- the box office of movies, television entertainment programs, and the distribution of audio-visual products -- and has become a well-deserved entertainment leader.
This is not the end, with the continuous development of the online game industry, in the near future, perhaps the size of the domestic online game market will exceed 50 billion, 80 billion, or even higher, such a big piece of cake. Lin Yuquan naturally didn't want to miss it, which is why he still planned to get involved in the game industry knowing that it was extremely risky.
Strictly speaking, the risk of the game industry is much higher than that of the film and television industry, and unlike the film and television industry, the film and television industry can ensure the quality of the work to a large extent through the control of directors, actors, screenwriters and other personnel, but the game is not good, and no one knows whether a game is successful until the end.
To make matters worse, the film and television industry doesn't have the idea of trying to see it, as long as it is shown in theaters or sold to television stations. can directly generate revenue, but online games are different. It needs to go through the process of internal testing and public testing, and the nature of the game itself determines that once the game does not reach the level of user satisfaction, users will not spend any money on it, which also means that once the game fails, then all the development costs and promotion costs invested in the front are all lost.
And this situation has also caused that although there are hundreds of domestic online game companies today, except for a limited number of large companies in the industry, including Tencent, NetEase, and Shanda, which develop large-scale client games, other online game companies only develop web games with hundreds of thousands, or more than two or three million.
For the same reason, the abundant capital forces in other industries rarely get involved in the game industry across borders, but they are very fond of the film and television industry, and billions of funds are pouring into the production of the film and television industry almost every year, and such hot money has been increasing every year in recent years.
However, such a situation is undoubtedly very beneficial to Lin Yuquan, first of all, although his funds are not much, but there is also a lot, he has enough capital to participate in the competition in the game market, and secondly, compared with Tencent, NetEase, Shanda, Perfect World, Sogu, Jiucheng and other existing domestic game giants, his company is not listed, he has absolute autonomy, does not need a long process, and does not need to go through the voting of the board of directors and shareholders' meetings, as long as he wants, he can immediately put into action, and he does not need to be responsible for the rights and interests of shareholders, As long as he is responsible for himself, these advantages make him inherently faster and more resolute than several major game giants.
In that case, why not do it? In fact, no matter whether "Wild Wild" can succeed or not, he has already made up his mind to enter the game industry, but the success of "Wild Wild" determines his strength in entering the game industry.
Now it's just a matter of waiting for the official operation of "Wild Story", Lin Yuquan smiled, and then dialed the phone of Shen Yuan, the director of the variety show department, who was busy with movie shooting during the day and could only use the evening time to deal with company affairs.
"Good evening, Lao Shen, don't mind if I call you so late!"
"Of course not, boss, you want to know about the preparation of "The Voice of China", in fact, I am preparing to report to Mr. Ding tomorrow, and then Mr. Ding will report to the boss you." Shen Yuan said with a smile.
"Really? That's right, I can't wait to understand the situation, so I'll call you directly, how is the preparation of "The Voice of China" now? ”
"It's all ready, and we just need to start the official production work immediately after the award ceremony of the commendation conference." Shen Yuan smiled.
"Very good, how is the filming of "Taste of China"?" Lin Yuquan asked after nodding with a smile.
"is being filmed, Director Chen has very high requirements for the quality of the documentary, and it is expected that it will take some time to complete the first episode." Shen Yuan had a headache and said, Chen Xiaoqing, who served as the chief director, was poached from CCTV by him with a high salary, and had been creating TV documentaries on CCTV before this, and had produced many excellent documentaries such as "Chronicles of a Lonely Island", "Home Far in Beijing", "Dragon's Back", "Song of the Forest", and more importantly, the other party is a gourmet, who is not only good at documentaries, but also has a great study of food, which is why he asked the other party to be the food documentary "Taste of China".
Although Chen Xiaoqing had said before this that his shooting has extremely high requirements for the picture effect and storytelling of the documentary, and it takes a long time to shoot slowly, but if this is the case, as a producer, he still inevitably has a headache, after all, the shooting time is directly related to the production cost, and every extra day of shooting will cost a lot more.
If this happened to Star Media, it would definitely not be allowed to happen, and now it has not been stopped, just because Lin Yuquan attaches great importance to this food documentary and gives ample production costs.
Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes, it took more than a month to complete the filming of a documentary, such a production has indeed high requirements for quality, but this is exactly what he wants, Chen Xiaoqing, who was born as a director of CCTV, is very reassuring at this point, unlike other documentary production institutions, CCTV's documentary production is not for profit, but more for politics. Because there is no hard requirement for profit, this allows the production staff to devote themselves to filming and pursue the ultimate effect, and therefore, CCTV has produced many classic documentaries over the years.
"It's okay, give Director Chen enough time, as I said before, I hope the food documentary we produce will reach the top level in China."
Yes, the domestic standard, not the world standard, although "Taste of China" has a lot of investment, but it is still not comparable with foreign documentaries in terms of investment, compared with foreign documentaries, "Taste of China" focuses on the element of "Chinese food".
"Okay, boss, I'll relay your meaning to him."
Ending the call, Lin Yuquan shook his head with a smile, for the variety show "The Voice of China" and the food documentary "Taste of China", he is still very much looking forward to it, and it is difficult not to look forward to it, in order to make them, the variety show department of Shuguang Film has made countless efforts since its establishment at the beginning of the year, and has also invested huge funds, especially "The Voice of China", its investment is absolutely amazing, and "Taste of China" may not be the most expensive TV documentary in China, but its investment is definitely among the best.
Comparatively, among the two, he is more looking forward to "The Voice of China", limited by the nature of the documentary, it is difficult for "Taste of China" to cause too much repercussions in China, but "The Voice of China" is different, the corners of Lin Yuquan's mouth can't help but tilt slightly, the award ceremony of the commendation conference at that time should be very exciting!
It's really exciting! Lin Yuquan showed a bright smile on his face and stretched his waist, December 6th, time is almost up. (To be continued......)
