Chapter 407: Blizzard's Invitation
North America.
Li Zhen, who had just finished his vacation, returned to Los Angeles with his girlfriend.
He's living a pretty nourishing life now. was originally a returnee student, but he didn't find a suitable job in the United States, so he returned to China for development, and worked in Wedo Entertainment for less than two years, but he was sent to the United States again, and by mistake fulfilled his wish to stay at that time.
Probably a little better.
After all, if he had chosen to stay in the United States at that time, even if he could find a satisfactory job, he would not have been able to become a middle and senior manager leading a team of dozens of people like he is now.
This kind of thing is not something that can be done, especially since he is still a yellow race.
Taking advantage of the holidays and having a little money to spare, Li Zhen put on his new girlfriend — it was a Texas girl — and went to Brazil to enjoy the beach.
His girlfriend was newly found some time ago, and he now finds that he does have a soft spot for Yanmar.
Of course, he knew more clearly that the reason why he was able to be like now, with a big Yanma who was dead to him, and not like before, was dumped casually by a white girl, because of his hard work.
He understands that only by working harder can he keep everything he has now, and even have a better life.
When he returned to Los Angeles, he immediately adjusted his condition and threw himself into work.
Dealt with some holiday squeezing incidents, confirmed the previous email from the China headquarters, and began to assign the next tasks to his team......
Time passed little by little, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, after drinking coffee and preparing to rest without too much to do, he received a business call.
From the famous Blizzard Entertainment.
The person over there, who claimed to be from Blizzard Entertainment, said that they were looking for the possibility of a movie adaptation of the "Warcraft" series of games, hoping to reach a cooperation with Wedo Entertainment, and the words were very cautious.
Li Zhen was actually very surprised in his heart.
It came a little too suddenly.
He is now a practitioner in this industry, and based on the preference of the company Dimension Entertainment, he certainly has a certain understanding of the film and television adaptation of various original IPs.
The theme of "Warcraft" is very famous all over the world. Starting with the Warcraft series, especially Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, and then World of Warcraft, it's no exaggeration to say that this series is arguably one of the most well-known online games in the world. In Europe, Asia, and even around the world, there are a large number of Warcraft players.
Even now, the popularity of the Warcraft game itself has dropped dramatically, but it is still one of the most popular MMRPGs at the moment.
A large number of former players have already started a family, and it is unlikely that they will no longer be like before, guarding the computer every night to run group activities. But there is no doubt that even if they leave the world of WOW, they will always have a pure land in their hearts.
Li Zhen was also a WOWer in his early years, and he was quite crazy to play, when their guild was in World of Warcraft, the Wrath of the Lich King expansion was always difficult to launch on the national server, and even when it was called 'Forgot to Open' (WLK), their guild was still angry, and all the members moved to the Taiwan server, and during that time, they fought for the penultimate boss of the Icecrown Fortress (ICC), which was the first server kill of the frost dragon Sindragosa.
Although it was not successful in the end, the guild was disbanded because of the guild leader AFK (who left the game and no longer played).
But no matter what, those youthful years still make him miss it very much.
Take back those feelings and return to reality.
Of course, he couldn't have made any promises on the phone. Not to mention whether he has this kind of authority, even if he does, he doesn't even know what the identity of the other party is, whether it will be a liar, how can there be any results? Not even just words.
He's not that unprofessional.
This matter is relatively important, and it is no longer something that their 'Dimension North America' branch can decide independently.
He was about to call the headquarters immediately, but after calculating the time difference, he still waited for a while, and it was not until he calculated that it would be half past nine Beijing time, and then he dialed a transatlantic phone call.
As the leader of Dimension North America, he can of course have direct access to the big boss at the headquarters.
For example, Ye Jiayi.
reported the general situation, and Ye Jiayi didn't reply to him immediately.
Mr. Ye thought for a while, and then said: "You continue to keep in touch and contact with the other party, first find out what their situation is, and report it in time." Headquarters will make a corresponding assessment before making a decision. ”
"Okay."
In fact, needless to say, Li Zhen also knew that this would be the case.
After hanging up the phone, Blizzard Entertainment's official business email was also sent.
Li Zhen took a general look, and then instructed his subordinates about the relevant work, and the time was almost off work.
……
On Sheng Hai's side, after Ye Jiayi received the news, he immediately told Fan Zhe.
Fan Zhe was very happy.
He's also a WOW player.
Although, when playing WOW, I didn't play very much, and I struggled in WOW for two years one after another, and I was a casual player. However, "Warcraft 3" is quite senior, and the back and forth battles have been fought many times, and the official has bought several copies.
When I was playing the game, Fan Zhe was a research party, and he was very interested in the setting and story of Warcraft.
If there is an opportunity to adapt the "Warcraft" series and put it on the big screen, then he is quite interested.
It doesn't matter if the conditions of cooperation are a little harsh.
Of course, this is his idea, and there is another boss lady in the company.
Ye Jiayi will not let Fan Zhe mess around, even if Fan Zhe wants to mess around, she has to set things right - this is her responsibility.
"Okay, okay, stop fantasizing so much. Since you are interested in adapting the content of this series, let's make a relevant plan first, let Li Zhen contact Blizzard first, and finally strive for a better commercial result. ”
"Good...... Let's talk about it as much as we can. However, the bottom line is to make it clear to them. If you want to leave it to us, or cooperate to do it. ”
This is Fan Zhe's main requirement in terms of content. If you can't call the shots, or you can't have the final say, then it makes no sense for Wedo Entertainment to start this kind of project.
Fan Zhe enjoys the works he likes, which are made into films and television in his own hands, instead of working for others and listening to other people's commands.
"I know." Ye Jiayi understands him.
