[Chapter 343: Super Fierce Material]
What the hell is your Comelaleuca stuff that the Ubisoft boss reports? Why is it so unreliable?
Last month, Jingzheng's words caused the audience to be surprised, and this sentence is really intriguing. But the last sentence made everyone look sideways and look forward to it at the same time, which is something that players like to see, and the game media who came to the scene were even more eye-catching.
Last month, Jingzheng chose to be silent, and the named Ubisoft CEO Yevis picked up the microphone, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said intriguingly: "To be honest, after several twists and turns, it is really not easy to find a good owner, if you want to live a stable life, don't choose Vivendi, believe me!" Experienced it for yourself! β
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused a burst of laughter in the audience, and the Vivendi Group was inexplicably lying down.
Yevis made a joke and said, "Okay! It seems that everyone can't wait, so I now officially announce that after a series of screening and consideration, Ubisoft's three titles, namely "Splinter Cell 9: End", "Assassin's Creed 7: Gunsmoke", and "Ghost Recon 6: Phantom Light", will be invested in the production cost of $470 million, $550 million and $430 million respectively, excluding the publicity and distribution costs, and the production team size of each orthodox sequel will exceed the 1,000 level, and it is expected to be officially launched in three years. β
"Mr. Shangyue, are you sure you want my help? Isn't it cheap? Yevis completely ignored the stunned expressions of the players and the game media.
"Forget it, thank you for your kindness. I'll announce it myself. Shangyue Jingzheng picked up the microphone and smiled, looking at the audience with a faint smile, and said: "The new orthodox sequel of Kemele's works "Metal Gear Solid", "Pro Evolution Soccer", and "Silent Hill" is officially established, excluding the production cost of publicity and distribution costs of 510 million US dollars, 400 million US dollars, and 480 million US dollars respectively, and the production team size of each new work has reached the level of 1,000 people, and it is expected to be listed in three years. β
Immediately afterwards, Strauss, CEO of R-Star, pointed into the microphone and said: "On behalf of its subordinate companies, I officially announce that three of the game works, namely: the sequel to "Max Payne", the sequel to "GTA" and the sequel to "The of the Wilderness" have been officially established, excluding publicity and distribution costs, the production cost is $360 million, $670 million and $460 million respectively, and the production team size of each work is an unprecedented 1,000 people, and it is expected to be officially launched in three years! β
The media reporters in the audience were frantically recording and filming, and a group of gamers were shocked by this series of news and were speechless, many people held their heads in their hands, opened their mouths wide, and their eyes widened, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, their eyes were full of incredulity.
The last CEO, Yosuke Matsuda, the head of Square Enix, spoke, "SE will also contribute three works, namely "Dragon Quest 11", "Final Fantasy 19", "Tomb Raider 13", the three works have been confirmed and approved, in addition to the publicity and distribution costs, the production cost of the three works is a total of 1.6 billion US dollars, and each work is also an unprecedented team of 1,000 people, which is expected to be officially launched in three years! β
"Oh my God, 12 super masterpieces, I remember today is not April Fool's Day." The host on the stage said with wide eyes and shocked, and the voice echoed throughout the symposium.
"Nani!"
"Ah, Nishihachi~~"
βWhatβTheββF**οΌοΌοΌβ
The players on the field looked at each other in amazement.
"Is it April Fool's Day?"
"It's October!"
Just when everyone was stunned for a while, Ubisoft CEO Yevis picked up the microphone and looked at the audience with a smile, and said: "A total of 5.73 billion US dollars to create 12 works, yes, you heard it right, this is the most authoritative and official news." β
Strauss, the boss of R Star, added: "Are these 12 titles AAA games? No! It's Super (super)! It's an SSS-rated game! Ultra-large-scale production costs, ultra-large-scale production teams, and ultra-large-scale content architecture! This is not a triple-A game, this is a 3S-level masterpiece, a super masterpiece! β
"It's obvious that ......" Ubisoft CEO Yevis took over the conversation and continued: "The production cost budget of $5.73 billion plus the publicity budget of $2.5 billion adds a total budget of $8.2 billion, with an average cost of up to $685 million per work, and the cost of one work can meet the production and distribution costs of two Hollywood blockbuster films, as Mr. Strauss said, this is an SSS-level game masterpiece." β
"According to the current unit price of $60 per set, it is more difficult to recover the investment cost of $685 million, because the sales volume must exceed 20 million copies as the bottom line. In other words, in order to make money, it must sell more than 20 million copies. Isn't that crazy? Yevis asked himself with a rich expression, and quickly replied, "Is it crazy or not, that's not the point." The question is, what about the work? There is no doubt that the 12 3S-level works are ...... in terms of gameplay, graphics, production, and content Anything associated with it is unprecedented and unprecedented. β
"In short, I can't think of a reason why a game made at a cost of $685 million would hit the streets, and I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't be a masterpiece," Yevis said. Of course, you can predict that one of these titles may be a commercial failure, after all, what game is not a phenomenon with 20 million copies sold? But the 12 works here have only just saved their capital. If a work sells 19,999,900 copies, it loses money and fails commercially, but the commercial failure still can't hide the fact that it has become a phenomenal work, and 19,999,900 players are playing the game we made, which is still a huge success. β
"You're going to think, you must be crazy! And them, they're all crazy! Matrix Technology just bought you and you started to lose? Mr. Ren will definitely fire you squid! Yevis pointed to the three CEOs present with exaggerated expressions and said, after a moment he restrained his expression, continued to perform a one-man show, and said, "Actually, this is Mr. Ren's idea." If any of our four companies sell it, they can't come up with $2 billion in cash flow to burn three SSS-level games, who will pay for us? This has to be reminded again, as I said earlier, how important it is to find a good owner. β
The Vivendi Group was once again innocently shot and fainted in the toilet crying. Yavis seems to have a lot of resentment towards him, he doesn't care what will happen to Vivendi if he hears it, the current Ubisoft has nothing to do with Vivendi anyway, how dark it is.
Yevis continued: "As a further news to you, our parent company, XlouS, has wholly owned the four major game development companies and completely waived their voting rights, while each company has contributed 10% of its shares to equity incentives, and the parent company has invested $2.3 billion in cash for each of our four major developers and Roberts Studios, totaling $11.5 billion in cash. β
"Having said so much is actually nonsense, in short, whether it is us game producers or players, we should be grateful to Mr. Ren, the local tyrant. Why do we have to thank Mr. Ren? Because he doesn't let us care about any damn sales and returns, to worry about whether the company will be dragged down or even bankrupt, we just need to devote ourselves to creating high-quality products, even if the final sales are dismal, there is no need to worry, the parent company helps to pay the bills so that we don't have any worries, I feel extremely lucky to be able to break away from Vivendi......"
Vivendi was shot three times in a row!
