Chapter 609: I Still Want Movie Rights

And at the back of the fax, Jester also saw the names of the three people Capcom had given.

It's all his acquaintances.

In fact, in the history of Capcom that Jester is familiar with, there are really many talents, for example, Capcom's first big IP in addition to "Monster Hunter" is the "Resident Evil" series, this series Jester doesn't play much, but he has seen all the movies, and he has only played "Resident Evil 2", "Resident Evil 0", and "Codename: Veronica", so he is not familiar with this series.

However, he remembers very well that the creative team of "Resident Evil 2" was once praised by many fans as the work developed by the development team of the biggest brand in history.

Because the list of creators of this game almost includes those who made Capcom's biggest cards after the nineties.

Shinji Mikami, Keiji Inifune, Noritaka Funamizu, Yoshiki Okamoto, Hideki Kamiya...... Almost every one of them is a shining character who has left a name in the history of the game, Shinji Mikami, the father of Resident Evil, Keiji Inafune, the father of Mega Man, Kitaka Funamizu, the father of Street Fighter in the original Jester's memory, Yoshiki Okamoto, and Hideki Kamiya, the father of Devil May Cry...... And this time, the three people on the list that Capcom gave him were among them.

"Keiji Inafune, Shinji Mikami, and Yoshiki Okamoto."

Jester silently read the names of the three people on Capcom's list of three, wondering whether to agree to Capcom's request.

In fact, Jester has never given other third-party development companies this kind of convenience to game consoles when they are still in development, and only their own first-party development teams can obtain such power, and they must also obtain their own approval, because each company. The development of next-generation consoles is a matter of secrecy.

So as not to be stolen by competitors, so as to make their own design solutions.

Of course, Capcom also made a guarantee that after the three of them completed the training within Mars Entertainment, the game proposed by the three of them will be exclusive to the next generation of Dreambox 3, and they also absolutely guarantee that they can sign a strict confidentiality agreement and will not be leaked to the outside world. Any information about Dreambox3.

Moreover, this game, as well as the three sequels of this game in the future, will only appear on Mars Entertainment's hardware platform.

Even, in order to show their sincerity.

Capcom was even willing to share their genre and some ideas for the next generation of 3D games with Jester in advance.

Seeing Capcom's sincere conditions, Jester's heart was actually a little dark, you know, in his time. Even in the previous era, Capcom was far from being so easy to talk to, otherwise, he wouldn't be called a.

But Jester thought about it again. Instead of agreeing directly, they sent Capcom an inquiring message, and he needed Capcom to provide a general description of the type of game they were going to develop and a general description of the content before he could make his own decision. And, Jester explains, because your request is so embarrassing.

If not to look at doing so. If it would help the development of the video game industry, I would never consider it.

In fact, Capcom is taking a lot of risks in doing so.

Because, if Jester had looked at their plan, even if it was just a rough idea of the content of the game, and then rejected their request, and then developed a game based on that idea, then Capcom would have no place to be reasonable.

However, not long after Jester's fax of inquiry was sent out, he received a fax from Capcom, and the reply was very simple, they fully agreed to Jester's request.

A brief outline of the 3D game they intend to develop is also included.

When Jester saw the name of this project outline, the pupils of his eyes shrank sharply, in fact, when he saw the personnel that Capcom was about to send, he just expected which game it might be, but when he really saw it with his own eyes, it still made Jester cheer in his heart, because this game is too famous and too successful in the future.

Literally translated as "Evil Ghost Castle", he is better known as "Resident Evil".

In this fax from Capcom, there is no specific content of this game, but from the name of "Evil Dead Castle", in fact, it is difficult to think of what kind of game this is, and in the brief development plan, there is no leak of the slightest information about this series, the most important biochemical mutations, and the T virus.

After reading it, Jester couldn't help but laugh.

"No wonder Capcom is willing to agree to my request, it turns out that they have made such preparations, if I don't know what this game is like, there may really be no way to tell them these things from the name of this game, and know the truth about this game." Jester smiled indifferently, in fact, he didn't plan to go to copy Capcom's "Resident Evil" in the first place.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he really doesn't have the time, and his main energy in the future will definitely be on the development of his sandbox game.

Jester didn't think too much, and immediately asked people to call Capcom directly, expressing his opinion, Capcom's side was also the phone call taken by Kenzo Qianmoto himself, Jester also looked at the time by the way, the time in Japan should be night, I didn't expect that Kenzo Qianmoto was still in the company at this time and waited for his call that I didn't know if it would come.

"Mr. Qianmoto, I agree to your company's request, but I have one more request, I hope to buy the film rights to the game called "Evil Dead Castle" that you want to make Zuò and his three sequels in the future." Jester spoke into the phone with something that was very confusing to Kenzo Kanmoto.

Because he can't be sure whether this game can succeed or not, and, there are not many successful examples of movies adapted from games, even the "Avengers" series has lost a lot at the box office of the most recent one, counting the income of DVDs, and in the end it is just a reluctant capital preservation, which is not a secret in the industry, so, for film copyrights, Kenzo does not attach much importance to it.

Therefore, without much consideration, Kenzo agreed to Jester's request.

When Jester hung up the phone, he also clenched his fists with some excitement, because the box office of the first few parts of the "Resident Evil" series was very good.

The first part of "Resident Evil" grossed more than $40 million, the second part also grossed more than $40 million, and by the third part, the global box office was as high as $14.8 million, and the fourth part reached $110 million.

It can be said that if you get the film adaptation rights of at least three films in this series, you will get a cash cow that can only earn more than 100 million US dollars, although this money is nothing to Jester now, but it is still an excellent income supplement for Mars Entertainment.

Christmas came fast.

And the release of "Exotic Requiem" can also be called a wave, because there has been a pre-sale relationship before, and it is Christmas, and people have a lot to do on that day, so there are not many people who come to queue, Jester also went to a flagship store in Los Angeles very early to take a look, and found that there are only seventy or eighty people in line, which is much less than his previous game, and the queue size of hundreds of people is much less.

Jester asked people to ask why Mars Entertainment was named after the pre-sale to provide free delivery, and they had to come and buy it themselves.

The answer is simple.

Because they love the lively atmosphere.

Of course, in some cities where there is no free delivery, the scene is not like this at all, so to speak, the kind of hot scene when Jester's game was released was staged again, in a game sales point in Cleveland, from the early hours of the morning, there were many people brave the cold to line up, you know, just a day ago, there was a heavy snowfall, the weather is not cold.

Jester got a report of this place, and it is said that the most queued things up, as many as three hundred people.

Because there are already 400,000 pre-sales of this result, Jester doesn't care too much about the sales on the first day, because many of the people who can pre-sell are die-hard fans, and these fans, even if there is no pre-sale, will choose to buy on the first day.

Therefore, Jester had already expected that the sales on the first day might not be too high, but when the news from all over the United States was summarized at nine o'clock in the evening, the sales of the first day were still taken by Jester.

Excluding pre-sales, the first day of shipments reached 330,000 copies!

Jester asked three times again and again, whether the statistics were wrong, but the answer he got was that it was true, because after this number came out, the popular people felt that it was too much, because their own prediction was only a week's time, and it could reach 1.2 million, and now, it has only been on sale for one day, and the sales volume of the pre-sale and the first day have reached 730,000 copies.

Moreover, Outlander Requiem really lives up to the expectations of players.

On some of the online forums for RPG enthusiasts, there are a lot of people talking about the game that just released today. (To be continued......) R1292
