"Director, these studios have had a lot of influence in China recently, are you sure you won't think about it anymore?"

Inside the Giant Hard Office.

Wei Mo, who was in charge of negotiating with Chen Lin before, took a few game materials and looked at the director who had just finished talking with the big factory with some puzzlement.

In his opinion, in addition to the volume gap, the new games of these studios are extremely promising.

There is value in continuing the negotiation.

But now they are all ignored.

"Mr. Wei, I think you may have misunderstood, what we need is an exclusive game of the year, not the kind of small game that can be seen everywhere, understand?"

"But."

"Alright."

The Superintendent interrupted Wimer's words with a wave of his hand.

"Mr. Wei, I know you're very concerned about this."

"But you have to understand that the headquarters sent me here to better develop the market, and I just made the right choice."

"I'll have to discuss the details with the representatives again, and if there's nothing to do, please leave first."

After speaking, he ignored Wei Mo's reaction and walked directly towards the reception room where the representatives of several large factories were located.

Bang!

Wimmer slammed his fist into the back of the couch next to him.

It's stupid!

These guys who were transferred from headquarters would turn away so many potential games that could become explosives for the sake of this stupid prejudice.

Did they really seriously investigate the domestic market before they came?

Let's not talk about anything else.

Just the Honghuang and Dongshanju's influence in China are not much weaker than ordinary large factories.

Even if cooperation is not reached, it should be given due attention.

But now it's good.

Directly both offended.

How do you want him to go over and explain to people?

"Manager Wei, something is wrong! The representatives of those studios are gone! ”

At this moment, an anxious cry came from outside.

Wei Mo, who was still angry, chuckled in his heart and woke up in an instant.

Glancing at the time, it was already past noon!

"Damn it!"

He cursed and hurried out of the office.

By the time he arrived at the reception room, it was already empty, and it was quiet.

Obviously.

The long wait without response had exhausted the patience of the delegates, and no one wanted to wait any longer.

Wimer's face turned pale, his fists clenched.

But in the end.

Still sighed helplessly.

Of course he does.

The superintendent had just been transferred from headquarters and was desperate to make a difference.

That's the right starting point.

The fault is that he is too rigid and self-serving, and only thinks that what he thinks is good is right.

"Let's hope nothing will be done, alas"

Weimer shook his head and turned to leave.

For the entire large company, he has a small management, and nothing can be changed.

Downstairs in the giant hard branch.

As soon as Chen Lin got into the taxi, he received a call from Lao Song.

"Didn't you negotiate it over there?"

"Well, they want too much of a share, and they think that the theme of our game is not good, so they want to modify the permissions, and they talked for more than half an hour, and finally broke up."

Lao Song's voice came from the other end of the phone, and there was not much fluctuation.

When it comes to business, no one can guarantee that it will be successful.

And even with so many competitors present.

Such a result.

Instead, it was what he expected.

If you just meet Ren Tiandi and come up enthusiastically, and when you see their game design, you are shocked that the heavens pull them to sign the contract, then there is a ghost.

"Forget it, I didn't talk about the achievements, I didn't talk about it, this game didn't see anything from the design, and only when you really played it could you understand its fun."

Red Dead Redemption is a game that isn't too shocking in terms of design.

It's the invisible place of game production that is difficult.

Even with the current manpower and funds of Honghuang, coupled with the universal game engine, it is not easy to make it.

After all, this game cost $800 million in a previous life, and it took a team 8 years to produce.

Of course.

He also knew that there must be an exaggeration in this.

For example, the team made other games in addition to this game.

In addition, a lot of time was spent on game design, program scripts, and humanistic materials.

They can save all of that time.

The R&D cycle is shortened, and the labor cost that accounts for the majority of the game will naturally be greatly reduced, so he has the confidence to make this game.

"So what do we do next?" Lao Song asked over the phone.

"I have asked the production team to build the map framework according to your requirements, and I have also collected a lot of humanistic materials, but it is difficult to estimate it in a short period of time."

"It's okay, just do it before the annual monopoly of the three major console platforms next year, and expand the recruitment if there are not enough people."

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words."

During this time, the Dawn team did not launch a new game, just to prepare for this game.

Let them only see that the Dawn team has been in the limelight and is very greedy.

Now that the preparations are almost complete, and he can finally start work at full strength, Lao Song naturally wants to do a big job.

"That's right."

At this time, Chen Lin thought of something.

"Do you know any entertainment companies? The game can't be done for the time being, and the promotional CG can still be filmed in advance. ”

"You're going to make a promotional CG for this game?" Lao Song's voice paused, "What kind of CG is it?" ”

"A TV series, it's called "Westworld", and it's a popular sci-fi background recently."

Long before he planned to make this game, Chen Lin immediately thought of this TV series because their backgrounds just matched.

Moreover, in recent years, western cowboy movies have also had a lot of markets in China and are liked by many young people.

Especially the kind of uninhibited and free life, which makes them yearn for it very much.

It is completely sufficient for game CG.

"Westworld combined with a sci-fi setting?"

On the other end of the phone, Lao Song had a strange face.

What kind of weird setting is this?

Are you sure these two things can be combined?

Don't make it look like the Qin Shi Huang movie made by foreign countries before, looking nondescript and scolding.

After groaning, he said: "When I was an endorsement before, I talked about a few entertainment companies, and they should have a lot of actors and Asian-American mixed-race people who came to China to develop, so I'll ask when the time comes." ”

"I'll leave it to you."

After some discussion, the two quickly settled the matter and rushed back to the studio on their respective desks.

In less than half a month.

The news that Ju Hard and Ren Tiandi were talking about the exclusivity of the next year spread.

As players expected, the final negotiation was between two well-known manufacturers, Shengqu and Juqing.

These two companies are not only well-known in China, but also occupy a large share abroad, and they can definitely be regarded as heavyweights in the game field.

As soon as the news broke.

It immediately set off a heated frenzy in the game circle.

"It's these two? I thought it would be a penguin. ”

"I thought it was a penguin, but I heard that they mainly focus on the online game market, and they don't do much on stand-alone."

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, they are all well-known manufacturers at home and abroad."

"Needless to say? The annual monopoly is not something that any company can win, and you have to be strong enough. ”

"With these two joining, it's hard to say who wins and who loses on the console side next year."

"Sit back and wait to watch the show"

"Theater +1"

This result was not surprising to players.

The difference is nothing more than which big factory wins the bid.

Although I heard that some time ago, many small and medium-sized manufacturers also sent people to negotiate, but not many people are optimistic about them.

After all, this is a battle for the host side of the three royal families tomorrow, even if it is them, they will definitely choose a more stable and powerful large manufacturer.

"It seems that the flood famine, too, sent someone to talk, right? Why is there not even a little news? ”

In a university dormitory.

Several young men who had come to the exhibition to support Hong Huang gathered in front of the computer, swiping the news suspiciously.

"Do you want to send a message to Brother Sledgehammer and ask?" Someone immediately suggested.

"I've just sent it, but I haven't replied, I should be busy."

"I'm really in a hurry, you said you shouldn't cut the new game in half because of this incident, right?"

As loyal fans of Honghuang, the last thing they want to see is the project cut in half, and they also very much hope that this cooperation can be negotiated.

But I have to admit it.

These people on the Internet are quite right.

If you want to win the annual exclusive spot in such a fierce competition, the difficulty is not ordinary.

It can be seen from the internal negotiation news recently revealed by major game companies and studios.

There are even a few families who have exposed the arrogant attitude of the three families, not treating them as human beings, and rejecting their plans without even seeing them.

One can imagine how cruel the competition was at that time.

I'm afraid that Hong Huang didn't get any good results.

"Look! Shengqu and Juqing have released a new announcement! ”

Suddenly, an exclamation interrupted their discussion.

Originally, the game area of Weibo, which was refreshed very quickly, suddenly popped up two messages one after another, which were officially issued by Shengqu and Juqing.

It's the latest news on the console exclusive game of the year!

"Is there news of a new tour so soon?"

"Juqing is an open-world game?"

"It seems to be fun, too!"

", this is going to be a big move, no wonder you can get the annual exclusive!"

"The two are actually on the right game type!"

As everyone knows.

Open-world games are extremely difficult to make.

Not only does it need to be rich enough to support the entire huge worldview.

The plot style should be self-contained and perfectly integrated into this world.

More importantly, freedom!

Most of the gameplay of traditional games is a main line that goes to black, and then branches out from the main line.

But the open world is different.

It's all about free exploration.

No matter where you start, you can play the game well.

Even a small loaf of bread given to a beggar can encounter a completely different plot.

It's not easy to immerse players in the game world you've created, and the slightest mistake can be full of loopholes.

Therefore, the general manufacturers do not dare to touch this category easily without any strength.

But once it's done, it's a different story, and it will definitely be warmly sought after by players.

It can be seen that the battlefield of the Royal Three Family this time should be in the open world game.

I'm afraid that it will cause a boom in open-world games.

Sure enough.

In just half a day.

Immediately, industry insiders revealed that many manufacturers have changed their strategies and begun to try to move closer to the open world.

Not long after this news was released, it immediately sparked a lot of discussions, and the atmosphere in the entire gaming circle was heated up.

However.

Just when everyone thought this was the end.

Under the official account of Honghuang, a new announcement was suddenly issued.

#Westworld, a world that fulfills all your fantasies. #

Below the announcement, there is also a short video attached.

This inexplicable text made all players stunned, and the originally heated discussion gradually stopped.

"What's the situation? How could Hong Huang make an announcement at this time? ”

What does this mean? Could it be the new game trailer of the Flood Wilderness? ”

"! Is Hung Wilderness also releasing a new game? ”

"It's a bit intriguing to send a message at this time."

"It's too brave to go out against the annual monopoly of the two giants!"

"Let's see what's in the video below!"

The head is a little dizzy for more than 20 days, and I can't stand it, so I will delay it for a few days with 7,000 days a day, and by the way, I will save the manuscript to sort out the plot. My Riwan Medal is gone! (Crying)
