However, the film adaptation of "Professor Tauwell's Head" has nothing to do with Ghost Party Studios.

After helping the crew of "Shipwreck Island" figure out the plot direction and some shooting problems, Charlotte stopped caring about the crew for the time being.

And the last TV series that he paid attention to was not yet in the preparatory stage-

"George S. R· I'm still negotiating with his agent about the rights to the TV adaptation of R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. ”

In the Ghost Party studio, Mr. Westwood explained to Charlotte,

"The asking price is not too high, but the willingness to sell the adaptation rights is not strong - because George Martin feels that he has not finished the work and wants to sell the rights after it is finished. ”

"Done!?"

Charlotte was dumbfounded.

- Charlotte from the future knows that George Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" is simply a lifetime pit series.

If it weren't for the hit of its adaptation of the TV series "Game of Thrones", Martin had to give an ending, then it is estimated that this work would be able to go to the ground.

And now, this pit king actually said that he wanted to wait for the end of the work to sell the adaptation rights-

"Don't believe these pit writers!"

Charlotte is very straightforward,

"You tell George Martin that winter is coming—we're going to get the TV series done within a few years of buying the rights, and then we can hire him as a writer—and the series will be shot for seven or eight seasons, and he'll be able to finish his story in the meantime. ”

"Okay!"

Mr. Westwood nodded.

He could see that Charlotte attached more importance to this "A Song of Ice and Fire", so he didn't say much.

In particular, because of the unexpected success of "Shipwreck", Mr. Westwood has become more and more aware of the effect of some exciting and explicit scenes on the ratings, and "A Song of Ice and Fire" was originally known as "A Song of Killing and......

Anyway, after unifying her views on the adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire" with Mr. Westwood, Charlotte's guidance of the TV drama department has come to an end for the time being.

Next, he focused on the projects of the game department-

According to the previous plan, there are currently two main projects in the game department of the Ghost Party Studios.

One is a massively multiplayer online RPG game based on the story of The Lord of the Rings and the future World of Warcraft;

The other is a nautical-themed game developed based on the world view of "Pirates of the Caribbean" - in the overall direction, it will be somewhat similar to "Age of Exploration OL" that Charlotte played in her previous life.

It's fair to say that these two games in development are the ultimate products of Ghost Party Studios' film-game linkage policy - after all, both "The Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are currently the most popular movie series.

Previously, the gaming department of Ghost Party Studios had already developed several PC and console games for both series under Charlotte's direction.

Now, its eventual expansion into a much larger online game is just a necessity of discovery.

At the same time, this direction of expansion is also in line with the current trend of development——

After all, after 2,000 years, with the development of Internet technology, online games have gradually discovered a non-negligible existence from the small transparency of the previous game industry.

Especially in many developing countries, where the atmosphere of console games is relatively weak, the profitability of console games exceeds that of traditional console games.

is like on the other side of the Pacific, and the richest man in the past two years is the big guy surnamed Chen who instantly became rich with the online game "Legend" -

The degree of "inspiration" of this gentleman's success is comparable to that of a real estate tycoon with a "small goal of 100 million", and it is on par with the students in the Pacific.

- After all, just like in the era when the other side of the Pacific Ocean had just been reopened, the materials of a train wagon were transported from the northeast to a port in the south, and when there was obviously no money in hand, it was possible to rent a network server here and easily take the version number approval there......

In short, these are all "legends"!

- Just like the big man was able to easily buy the original version of the DOS system from IBM, the blue giant, through his mother's connections, no one can succeed casually......

And in the face of the tide of the Internet era, which is becoming more and more legendary, Charlotte naturally cannot lag behind-

In fact, in addition to having Spectre Studios make its own online games, he has also invested in a number of Internet companies.

Although the Internet economic bubble in the first two years has caused many investors to lose a lot, it is not a problem for Charlotte from the future.

He not only took the opportunity to increase his stake in some companies that would become giants in the future, but also cashed out a lot.

——The funds that supported him to expand the Ghost Party studio in the past two years and won a controlling stake in iMax came from cashing out at this stage.

In fact, if Charlotte hadn't understood that the purpose of making money was more to enjoy and expand his spell film career, he might have founded some Internet companies by himself according to the future model.

- Of course, whether it can be replicated successfully is another matter.

After all, a lot of success in the Internet tide is actually accidental. Even if Charlotte knew the future, there was no guarantee.

In addition, it takes a lot of energy to start a new company, and Charlotte, who is obsessed with spells and has a lot of movies to make, has neither that energy nor that interest.

Therefore, after all, he gave up the life development route of the Internet tycoon.

However, even so, Charlotte does not intend to give up the opportunity to make money with the help of the Internet, and online games are another entry point he chooses in addition to investment.

After all, although the game industry also has a lot of accidents, the first-mover advantage is very obvious - as long as the required social and technical conditions are ripe, that creates a suitable way to play, the first game to eat crabs will often be popular.

And for Charlotte from the future, he won't have to worry about the new gameplay problem of making other gamers scratch their hair for at least fifteen years.

Moreover, because the game industry is different from the film industry, as long as the similarity between the program source code and the art materials is not too high, and the gameplay and even the theme are similar, it will not constitute plagiarism.

This allows Charlotte to follow other people's paths openly and honestly, so that others have no way out.

In addition, in addition to the game itself, the Ghost Party Studio's film and game linkage policy can indeed greatly reduce the probability of their game failure.

- After all, it is not for nothing that various IPs will become more and more popular in the future.

Of course, this is not to say that Charlotte has no other ideas of change other than borrowing games to make money.

You know, every gamer has a dream of game planning.

What's more, he was also able to use the game to gain mana......
