Chapter 358: Turning the page

"What do you say?" Xia Qingyu's tone was not a rhetorical question, but it seemed that he really didn't hear clearly in a trance, or he heard it and confirmed it, and he looked a little stunned.

Ye Shenxi didn't emphasize it repeatedly, at this time, he just pretended not to hear it, just held back a smile.

Xia Qingyu coughed twice, as if choked, his silver teeth were clenched, and he stared at Ye Shenxi like a small beast aiming at his prey, and did not speak. His face began to flush a little, and he didn't know whether it was anger or grievance.

Ye Shenxi didn't either, and swallowed his saliva.

Gu Cheng said well, the grass is bearing its seeds, the wind is shaking its leaves, we are very embarrassed when we stand and don't speak.

"You made me scold." In this kind of scenario, whoever speaks first usually loses, but Ye Shenxi didn't expect to win at all.

Xia Qingyu exhaled a long breath, still planning to reason with this man first, and said with his head held high: "First, it's not to the point of flat-chested, right?" "The main thing is chest lift.

Indeed, it's not big, but at least it's better than a washboard pushpin or something.

"Second, you said flat-chested, forget it, what does it mean to add a 'flat-chested monster', looking for death?"

In fact, the two first met and met in June 07, and it has been more than three years now, and then there was an ambiguous period of nearly half a year, and the relationship was officially established in November of the same year, and it has been almost three years.

Between lovers, it's been so long, and I haven't talked about anything.

Sometimes Xia Qingyu is also very honest, and when she buys underwear, she pulls Ye Shenxi into the fitting room and asks Ye Shenxi to help look at it.

I just looked at the clothes, and I didn't do anything else.

Xia Qingyu said Do you know why I only buy Japanese brand cups, because Japanese cups are big.

If she wears the international standard, she can only wear an A cup, but Japanese brands can challenge the C...... Japan's cup standard is two or three sizes larger than that in China, and all the stars in the film and television industry, such as the teacher with the compound surname Aoi, can be claimed to have G, bluffing, and in China it is at most a D.

Another example is that the two of them exercised intensely, and after the clouds and rain stopped, Xia Qingyu always liked to pester Ye Shenxi to chat and talk about some intimate topics, such as what position is the most comfortable......

She also told Ye Shenxi very clearly that what she liked most was that she was on top.

Physical pleasure is secondary, and it is not for the empress's demeanor and bearing, but mainly because she rides on a horse like that, bows and bends, and she also looks big...... It's not going to be when you're lying down.

She told Ye Shenxi all these directly.

But she said yes, you can't mention it, it's not the same nature.

"Have you been getting skinny lately?" Some of her daily words also follow Ye Shenxi's habits.

"Sort of." Ye Shenxi nodded.

Xia Qingyu directly pounced and pressed Ye Shenxi under him.

"What, this is in the company." Ye Shenxi's words seemed timid, but his tone was fearless.

"Hmph, I'll clean you up when I go back in the evening."

Because the two don't spend a lot of time in Seattle, they still stay in the hotel for the time being, right on the shores of Lake Washington, only about 10 kilometers away from the North American branch of the herring network in Bellevue, east of Seattle.

Xia Qingyu originally wanted to buy a property by herself, at least it was an investment.

Seattle itself is also one of the most popular cities in the United States for real estate investors, after all, it is the "smartest city in the country", the city of technology, and many famous schools, which are school district houses, and lake view houses.

Lian Bill? Gates's 10 million mansion is also made near here, but the two have only heard about it, and they don't know where they are, they run a game company and not a detective club.

Rich people are everywhere, and if you look for a house by the lake, its director may be the owner and director of a well-known technology company. How to tell their financial resources? You can tell from the yachts docked at the private marina next to the villa.

However, Xia Qingyu thought about it carefully, and still forgot it, firstly, it can only be an investment, and the two of them really can't live here for a long time.

Second, if it's purely for investment, then you don't have to buy it separately like this, just open a real estate company, and ......

What's the difference between that and Wei Yunni.

Xia Qingyu stretched out the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and stabbed Ye Shenxi's body, she finally came out of Emei Mountain, there is no problem with knowing this set of exercises, it is very reasonable.

Fingers pierced Ye Shenxi's body here, there, thighs, lower abdomen, and then heart.

After a while, it's almost time to continue working, or work time.

Xia Qingyu suddenly turned around and asked, "You tell the truth, do you really care?" ”

Ye Shenxi rubbed the flesh on his body and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you would watch it when you went back in the evening......"

Anyway, I suffered from it, and the jar was broken: "What's the matter, do you want to go and have a run?" ”

"I want to be beautiful to you!" Xia Qingyu stared.

"I don't want to, I'm also afraid that I will accidentally blow up something in the future......"

"Did you care about it before?" Xia Qingyu asked suddenly, a little distracted.

Jokes between couples are also in moderation, and complaining nonsense is always complemented by sweet words.

Ye Shenxi said: "I just like A, and I want to do 3A." ”

Xia Qingyu snorted: "Then I'm really sorry, there are only two A's." ”

Ye Shenxi laughed and made a gesture of playing cards: "Audience! Two eh! ”

Xia Qingyu also smiled, and then said, "Anyway, I can't care about you, so I'll bother you to take care of it." ”

"Gotcha~"

……

At the end of the small theater, Xia Qingyu got down to business: "EA sent us an email, their Origin is about to go online, and then gave us two options. ”

"Which two?" Ye Shenxi asked.

"The first one is to hope that players will automatically install their Origin after downloading the game on FG, of course, this is limited to their own games, and they want to add such a feature to the games they will package and upload in the future, and the previous games will also be added, and new players will automatically install Origin when they buy it again."

"There are additional conditions attached to this plan, including reducing the commission to 20%, and the DLC will not take the commission."

Xia Qingyu almost sneered: "If we accept, they are willing to continue to cooperate with us." ”

"The second option is to take them all off the shelves, right?"

"Yes." Xia Qingyu nodded: "In the future, everyone will sell their own, and the well water will not interfere with the river water." ”

Ye Shenxi looked at her expression and knew that she had a conclusion in her heart, and knew what the conclusion was, and he had no opinion.

In fact, there has always been some unhappiness with EA before, although in business, everyone is rich and happy, but Xia Qingyu herself is an emotional girl, to put it bluntly, she has been unpleasant to EA for a long time.

When the herring network and EA first contacted, the other party directly rejected the release of "The Origin of Everything", and the purpose of their agreement to contact the herring network at that time was only to find a replacement, the second target, after the steem of the acquisition of Villefort was blocked.

Their attitude has always been with the arrogance of being the first in the industry, and after Ye Shenxi rejected their expressed acquisition intention, he directly expressed no interest in publishing "The Origin of Everything" without even looking at it, let alone putting its games on FG to sell.

In this case, why didn't you make it clear earlier, Ye Shenxi also went to Sequoia City for this reason, and he didn't go if he knew it.

Xia Qingyu sometimes gritted her teeth when she thought about it.

Later, EA Games finally landed on FG, that is because EA later raised the price several times in succession, and finally increased to $1.5 billion and was still rejected by the other party, and Villefort's valuation of himself was about $3 billion, and the difference between the two sides was too great.

Through "The Origin of Everything", especially "Eternal War", Qingyu Network began to quickly accumulate its own users around the world, turning into a hot game star and growing into a game brand that is deeply trusted by players. Compared with SteEM, which has not been much more innovative until now, it is much more advanced, more vivid, more interesting, and more sticky to the platform itself.

The European and American PC side was not originally mainstream, but FG now has millions of paying PC users around the world, and it almost brings those PC players together.

Coupled with the fact that Qingyu itself has other online games that can make a lot of money, many branches and R&D teams around the world, as well as its own industrial park and one of the most advanced motion capture studios in the global game field, the company's valuation will not be lower than that of Villefort......

Moreover...... The company has not even considered financing or even going public until now...... EA knows, Villefort just didn't give enough money, and the herring fish network wouldn't sell it at all.

They eventually decided to do their own digital distribution platform.

They are still the number one third-party publisher in the world, or even before this year...... In the past two years, Activision's momentum has been too good, especially after it has been linked to the Qingyu Network, this company alone has contributed two products with tens of millions of sales to them, or even 20 million sales, and "Getaway", which has just been released, will almost certainly reach this number.

After the merger of Activision and Glass Slag in 08, Activision Glass Slag has actually surpassed EA in total assets, but there is still a gap in turnover, but this year it looks like it is going to be overtaken.

After "Getaway" in June, at the end of July, another Activision glass slag masterpiece "Star Wars 2" will be released again.

Halfway through the year, they estimate that they can make about $3.5 billion in revenue this year, and Activision glass slag could reach a total of 5 billion ......

EA finally figured out that it was a matter of luck whether the game would sell well, but if it could capture the entrance to the game world, they would be invincible.

……

"What do you think?" Ye Shenxi asked.

"I'll choose option two." Xia Qingyu said.

"Then option two." Ye Shenxi affirmed.

It was so sloppy that in the office of the Seattle branch, the two bosses decided on this plan.

This is not a tearing of the skin, there are rules between companies, and each has its own interests.

In fact, this is a lose-lose thing, and the herring network currently earns about $34 million from EA games, and has also helped it sell millions of games, including new blockbusters, as well as many old games that have long been sold in physical versions.

Those old games are bundled together, or very cheap prices such as $6 or something, marked with a green label like "-85%", and it can also stimulate players to add one and become part of the collection.

It's just that since the other party has decided, Qingyu Network can't help it, with Xia Qingyu's character, the other party proposed such a two-choice plan, she will only answer yes or no, and she won't fight with you, it's amazing that everyone will break up.

Xia Qingyu immediately contacted the platform operation department in Huangpu and asked them to reply to the email, explain this meaning clearly, and finally don't forget to add the sentence "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future".

So, maybe for a while, players may not see EA's games on the FG platform.

"If EA bundles their Origin to sell their own games, there should still be a lot of people using them." Ye Shenxi said.

Xia Qingyu snorted: "That also depends on whether their Origin is good or not." And he said, "This matter is decided." ”

"I'm okay with that."

"By the way, Huayi's over there...... Did that Sister Li contact you later? "One more stubble.

"No, what's wrong?"

"Their film has begun to enter the preparatory stage, submitted for approval, and China Film itself has joined, and the process will be very fast. Now I'm tinkering with the script, I have invited several screenwriters, plus Rao Bin, Rao Bin's current salary Huayi still has subsidies...... Ha, I heard Rao Bin say that at that time, he asked the development team to send them a copy of the relevant copywriting materials, and the result was more than 800,000 words, more than 200 documents, large and small, which stunned their main screenwriter. ”

Xia Qingyu only listened to Rao Bin's description of this, but when he thought of the other party's shocked expression at that time, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"They really deserve to watch, they seem to really want to shoot well this time, and they found seven or eight screenwriters, discussed day and night, and had a fight with us when we worked overtime."

"Why are you in such a hurry......

"I guess I'm afraid that the popularity of the game will pass for too long, and they want to compress the cycle to less than 18 months, pre-preparation, team formation, shooting and post-production."

"Tsk, a year and a half, can they do it......"

"The team will be very large, estimated to have seven or eight hundred people."

"That's not how it is counted, you can't have a child in five months if you take two wives."

"You still want to find that wife?"

"I'll just give you an analogy......"

"They probably want you to make this game in a year and a half...... Hehe, they thought it was before the launch, but in fact, the final version was completed in April, adding up to only one year and three months. ”

"Didn't I sort out all my thoughts in advance, and there was nothing to change in the middle, the straight line between the two points is the shortest, and if you go down the road, you will definitely be faster when you reach the end."

"Where do they know how to make games, they sent some member lists to ask for our opinions."

"Who are they?"

"The director system is still Chen Guofu."

"I can guess this, it's okay."

Huayi's most capable producer, the previous producers include "Heroes of the World", "Ke Ho Xili", "No Thieves in the World", "Assembly Number", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "The Wind", and "Tangshan Earthquake", which was just released in July this year, is indeed the best card that Huayi can come up with.

"What about the director?" Ye Shenxi asked again.

"There are four preliminarily decided, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke, as well as Wu Yusen and Chen Kaige."

"Yo, generous, they're all famous directors."

"Huayi himself must want to push Feng Xiaogang first, after all, it is their signboard and a shareholder. However, too many of Director Feng's movies are starring Ge Wei, I saw this list at the time, and the first thing that came to mind was the dragon bird played by Ge Wei, I couldn't even look at this game directly, the taste was too big, and it couldn't go away. ”

"Speak well, what's too big a taste, that's a strong personal style." Ye Shenxi complained, and then shook his head: "Yes, don't say it, I also have a version of the dragon bird in my mind now, which is poisonous." ”

He thought about Xia Qingyu's words, and by the way, he also thought of the dragon bird and shouted loudly: "Qingluan, I miss you." ”

I shuddered.

Xia Qingyu is really interested in this movie, and there are currently seven or eight investors who have expressed strong interest in this project, in addition to the named China Film, Huayi, and her father's Yuqi Media, Huayi has also attracted several powerful film and television companies in the mainland, Xia Qingyu himself also plans to invest a little into it, and join in the fun.

"Wu Yusen's words, they don't have much confidence over there, after all, they just filmed "Red Cliff".

With a total investment of 600 million yuan for the two films, the mainland box office is almost 600 million, and the global total box office is about 1.4 billion yuan. This is also the big brother who currently tops the list of production costs of mainland films.

The eldest brother of the previous generation was also produced by Huayi, "The King of Kung Fu", with an investment of 500 million, lost a lot of money.

"I guess I'm worried that in the end, the dragon sparrow and the East Emperor Taiyi are fighting, and a group of white pigeons fly out......"

"Chen Kaige's words also have experience in similar types of movies, but it's fantasy."

""Wu Ji", how to say it, it is also a precedent for a generation of fantasy fantasy movies in the mainland. So it's basically decided, just Xu Laowei? "There were so many slots in this thing that he didn't know where to start.

"I've started talking, and it depends on whether people pick it up, but it's quite likely, I heard that Director Xu has started playing games."

"These things are very thoughtful."

"No, they forgot, they bought it themselves."

"Hoo ......"

"The total investment of the whole film is initially expected to be about 100 million US dollars, and we have ...... Five million, what do you think? ”

"You decide."

"When the time comes, we'll also have a DLC linkage?"

"Yes, it's a big deal about free DLC."

"Mr. Ye's conscience."

"Mr. Xia lifted."

"Ah, by the way, speaking of DLC, a player sent a pennant to Shan Jie last week, haha, I'll show you."

Xia Qingyu took out his mobile phone and flipped out a photo, which was a bright red pennant with the words "Gift: Qingyu Network Henggong Studio and Mr. Bao" written in gold, and then there was a big character "You come out of the DLC, I will buy it all"......

The payment did not write a specific FG platform ID or name, but wrote "all "Getaway" players.

Although it is a comedic effect or something, Ye Shenxi is still a little moved to see it.

"When I used to do "Eternal", the first batch of players, and when they got married, they sent joy candy to the development team, and some people who were closer to the company would sometimes come over to take a look and talk about the game."

"That's good." Xia Qingyu said.

"Yes, now many companies have become hostile to players, and if we were left for a while, I guess the game wouldn't want to do it."

"Do you remember the past?"

"No, I feel it, and I have a little hair."

"Okay, uh-huh...... When the team is formed, and the approval has passed, and the selection of actors begins, let's take a good look at the total movie. ”

"Okay."

"I ...... It should be more ...... now than it was two years ago Bigger, right? ”

Burst...... Ye Shenxi almost choked on saliva.

"How do you ...... Still thinking about this stubble...... It's a page, it's a page......"
