Chapter 233: Steady Development

Sitting in the Ambrera Game Data Center, Ye Ye watched with his own eyes that twenty-four hours later, the number of simultaneous online users of "World of Warcraft" exceeded 1.5 million, and Ye Ye also felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

This result is much better than Ye Ye's original estimate, and it seems that the overwhelming advertising investment and the $5 million bonus set up do have extraordinary effects.

But just as Ye Ye expected at the beginning, "World of Warcraft" will definitely have explosive development.

The most important thing for World of Warcraft to achieve such results is not the overwhelming advertising and $5 million prize money, but the perfection of the quality of World of Warcraft itself.

Advertising is only a prerequisite to attract people to enter, and only a good enough game can retain people.

In Ye Ye's original world, someone summarized the advantages of "World of Warcraft", which was full of fun and easy to use; Every aspect of the game is refined and carefully polished; The near-perfect backstory makes the quest system more interesting than ever; Exquisite graphics, good visuals and so on.

In this life, although Ye Ye did not personally participate in the development of "World of Warcraft" because he did not understand technology, Ye Ye paid close attention to all the development stages of "World of Warcraft".

For many designs that have deviated, Ye Ye is asking for redesign.

It's not that Ye Ye has to ask for the "World of Warcraft" he is making now, which is exactly the same as the "World of Warcraft" that he existed in his previous life, but the general content must definitely be the same.

Under the background design sketches and character design sketches provided by Ye Ye, the various pictures in "World of Warcraft" are very close to the "World of Warcraft" that Ye Ye played in his previous life.

And Ye Ye believes that "World of Warcraft" will become a milestone in the history of games.

In Ye Ye's previous life, Blizzard had a market value of nearly $50 billion.

Ye Ye also believes that Ambrera Games will definitely achieve greater achievements than Blizzard.

After all, at the same time as the launch of World of Warcraft, the development plan for League of Legends also began again.

As the most gold-absorbing super game in his previous life, Ye Ye naturally couldn't let it go.

Even after more than ten years of operation, "World of Warcraft" can reach more than $800 million a year, and "League of Legends" has an annual revenue of almost $2 billion.

"Catherine, you have the greatest credit for the success of World of Warcraft!" Ye Ye smiled and kissed Catherine.

Catherine punched Ye Ye in shame and looked around nervously.

It turned out that the rest of Ambrella, who were also staring at the screen closely, all looked away, or looked at their watches, or the two of them whispered together, with solemn faces, without the slightest hint of ridicule.

It was as if none of these people had seen Ye Ye's kiss on Catherine.

For the boss's actions, they feel that it is better to turn a blind eye!

Ye Ye's strange methods of punishing people have already made these people tired and unloved.

Ye Ye nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while, and said: "Inform me, because of the success of "World of Warcraft", the staff of Ambrera Games will double their monthly salary this month, and when the revenue of "World of Warcraft" comes out, I will draw 20% of the funds out, and distribute bonuses in proportion to everyone's contribution during the development of "World of Warcraft". ”

Of course, the charm of money is much more attractive than the scandal of the boss, and as soon as Ye Ye said this, the Ambrera Game Data Center immediately resounded with enthusiastic cheers.

Long live the boss in the mountains!

It is not impossible for "World of Warcraft" to have a monthly revenue of more than 20 million US dollars, that is to say, Ye Ye will come up with nearly 4 million US dollars as a bonus, which naturally attracts everyone's cheers.

It's impossible to want the horse to run fast and not to eat grass!

Human beings are profit-seeking animals, and only enough interests can drive them to be full of motivation.

……

The Ambrera Group is thriving and everything is moving forward steadily.

In this case, the dailies for "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" were also edited.

The script given by Ye Ye is very detailed, even a director with a little score can shoot the content of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" according to the storyboards provided by Ye Ye.

Normally, the length of a movie is usually only ninety to one hundred and twenty minutes. But in fact, the time of the footage is much more than that.

Because after the shooting of each movie is completed, the shots and paragraphs of the shooting must be edited, and they can be connected according to a certain structure in order to become a movie. A large number of these shots will not appear in the final movie, and this part of the shots will become redundant.

Excess shots make up almost one-third of the total shots.

In other words, the investor will have a third more money.

But it's inevitable!

There is no director who has such a powerful foundation and dares to ensure that there is not a single superfluous shot in the process of shooting, not even Spielberg!

And like the pit of the king of sunglasses, the shots shot by more than a dozen superstars cost millions of funds, and if you don't need it, you don't need it!

Therefore, the storyboard script written by Ye Ye, whether it is from the perspective of cost saving or time saving, there are no superfluous shots at all.

Of course, Ye Ye is not a professional filmmaker after all, and there are always some omissions, which gives the director a certain degree of autonomy.

But he didn't expect that when he watched the finished film, what he saw was too different from what he had seen in the past!

When editing, there is a lot to be done in terms of movie tone, narrative techniques, plot, etc.

Like "Once Upon a Time in America", the version edited by the director and the version edited by the producer of the film company are almost identical.

One is a bad movie, and the other is a classic.

Ye Ye felt that his heart was on fire, according to the storyboard script he wrote, the director would exclude such a ghost thing for me?

If that director was literate, he would be able to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" from Ye Ye's memory.

Once the current "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" is screened, Ye Ye doesn't know if it will lose money or not, but it is almost impossible to make "Pirates of the Caribbean" the super IP of Ye Ye's previous life!

"Felicia, what kind of director are you looking for, I gave him detailed shots for him to shoot commercial films, not for him to use my money to pursue his artistic effect!" Ye Ye turned his head to look at Felicia next to him and said angrily.
