Chapter 35: Circle Money Plan
Take a look at the development costs of the world's top hits.
"Half-Life", 12 million.
Final Fantasy 13, which costs 60 million.
"Crysis 3", cost 65 million.
The Elder Scrolls 5, cost 80 million.
"Tomb Raider 9", the cost reached 100 million.
Final Fantasy 7, 145 million.
Star Wars: The Old Republic, 200 million!
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, also 200 million!
And the ultimate overlord "GTA5", the cost has reached a terrifying 260 million! Of course, the sales of GTA5 are also ruthless, exceeding 80 million units!
The currency units of the above values are all US dollars!
So compared to those action war games, the casual-based "Transparent Bikini Beauty Heavenly Beach Volleyball" has an average cost.
In fact, 50 million, this production cost was expected by Li Ze.
After all, not to mention the usage fee of the shared super host, the licensing fee of the micron game console alone is not a small amount of money.
But the cost of 50 million is within a controllable range.
The sales volume of the Three Kingdoms in the field has just exceeded one million sets, with an average of 168 yuan per set, which means that the sales of the Three Kingdoms in the field have reached 168 million.
Of course, the 168 million can't all belong to Li Ze.
Forget the small items such as transportation and storage losses.
The rest of the sales will first be distributed to each agent and seller channel, ranging from the lowest 3% to the highest 10%.
And then you have to pay for the production of CDs, a million sets of CDs, which is not a small amount of money!
In addition to taxes and other expenses, the current account of the field company has about 60 million yuan.
There are 60 million in the field, and the development cost is 50 million, which means that there is still 10 million working capital.
10 million in liquidity is not much, but for the field of small companies, there is already a lot to do.
Moreover, even if the cost of the game exceeds the budget, Li Ze still has a way to circle money.
Joke! Originally, there were so many kryptonite games on the earth, and Li Ze had never eaten pork and had never seen a pig run?
……
Seeing that employees were worried about the cost, Li Ze gave them a positive signal.
"Funding is not an issue, every penny I earn from the field, I can give back to the field."
Li Ze himself, no need to deposit!
"And, if nothing else, we can also use the Three Kingdoms Realm to make another big profit."
"Big?" Tie Xiaohu asked curiously, "But the peak sales period of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has passed." ”
Yue Na also echoed and said: "Now the Three Kingdoms of the Realm can still sell 10,000 or 20,000 sets a week, but it should soon fall below five figures." ”
Li Ze smiled mysteriously, turned on his computer, and then played a PPT.
The content of the PPT is Li Ze's new circle money plan.
While playing PPT, Li Ze said: "The PPT is my idea, we can make Sun Wu Wu Qi, Han Xin Zhang Liang, Qin Qiong Yue Fei and other historical generals a bag of ancient military generals." ”
"Then the Water Margin has one hundred and eight generals, and you can make a Water Margin military general bag."
"Then similar to Liang Hongyu, Hua Mulan, Fan Lihua, Mu Guiying, Qin Liangyu, etc., you can make a female military general bag."
"Oh!" Tie Xiaohu shouted excitedly, "Interesting, Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong!" ”
Li Ze nodded, "That's right, it's Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, and then I'll add some interesting official scripts." ”
"For example, the battle of the female stream where women are the monarchs, the all-power debut chaos, the resurrection of Wei Shu and Wu, the alliance against Sima, and so on."
"Finally, there will be a bonus avatar pack to add avatars to popular generals such as Zhuge Zhao Yun and Cao Cao and Zhou Yu. For example, the elderly Zhao Yun, the sacrifice to the heavens, the poem Cao Cao, the arson Zhou Yu and the like,"
After the PPT was played, Li Ze also said: "These things, together to make a DLC, it's not too much to sell for 68 yuan, right?" ”
"Not too much! The conscience of the industry! Everyone replied in unison.
Li Ze also feels that he is a conscientious businessman.
Compared to the power-enhanced version that the glorious company on Earth needs to re-purchase, the 68 pieces of DLC are really conscientious!
68 pieces of DLC, it is impossible for everyone to buy it.
But according to the past market, 68 pieces of DLC, selling three and a half million sets is not a problem, after deducting various costs, the field can earn at least another 20 million!
As a result, the problem of funding, which the programmer comrades were worried about, was no longer a problem.
……
While the programmers are working, the masked man Eric Hu is not idle, he makes his desk look like a haunted house, listens to opera with headphones on his head, and works on the script and setting of the game on his head.
Li Ze wanted to communicate with Eric Hu for a few words, but seeing that Eric Hu was wearing headphones and seemed to be writing very high, Li Ze decided not to disturb the great god.
Anyway, this great god's screenwriting ability is as high as more than 200, so he should not interfere as a layman.
Don't bother Eric Hu, the programmer's programming Li Ze can't understand it, so Li Ze's most situation in the past few days is to discuss the original painting and character design with Bi Muxiong and Yasuhara.
Although Li Ze can't draw, Li Ze can appreciate it!
To be reasonable, Li Ze is a young man in his twenties, and he is the main target user group of "Thosha".
Bi Muxiong is good at the real painting style, most of the female characters in his pen have delicate expressions and sexy figures, which do not match the popular cute girl painting style.
But for "Penetrating Sand", the real painting style couldn't be better!
Because with excellent character modeling, real characters will be doubly attractive and sexy. When playing games on a large-screen TV, the impact of the picture is absolutely invincible!
However, Bi Muxiong also knows that what is popular now is the cute painting style, and the modern cute elements must be missing.
And that's where Yasuhara excels.
There must be sexy and tall beauties, and Japanese two-dimensional cute girls with big eyes and pointed chins must also have!
Anyway, there are many heroines in "Thosha", and there are girls of various styles, which is the king.
The old and the young worked together, but they really came up with something new.
The first batch of characters was quickly completed, and on the basis of the characters of the original "Transparent Bikini Beauty Heaven", seven or eight more female characters were added.
The newly added female characters are mainly beautiful girls with a more modern painting style and a more cute system.
These are naturally the credit of Yasuhara, with the master, Yasuhara has also played his highest level this time.
From the perspective of a male player, Li Ze browsed the artwork of the first batch of characters.
And under the picture of each girl, there is a paragraph of more than 100 words of character information, which can be appreciated with the background of the characters, so that you can better understand the intentions of Bi Muxiong and An Yuan.
Closing the manuscript, Li Ze showed a satisfied smile.
I can't look at it anymore, and I can't keep up with nutrition if I look at it anymore.
It's not about bragging about his own employees, after Li Ze read it, he really thinks it's very good.
If the actual game can be used to show the original artwork well, it will definitely be welcomed by otaku.
