Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Zhu Xiaozhi, who remained silent, raised his hand and said: "This… I would like to express my opinion. ”

“Brother Huang, your idea is too ideal. ”

“Making a game CG and making a movie with it and making two bucks with it seems perfect, but no gaming company has ever done that before. ”

“There is essentially no precedent around the world for gaming companies to show game CGs or for off-the-shelf movies to be game CGs. ”

“Why? Because it doesn't work! ”

“Movies require us to tell a complete and complete story in over an hour, with coherent plots and rich elements, as do science fiction films. ”

“And the game CG is definitely going to be divided into several segments, one after the other, which is a fragmented form used to showcase the most elegant parts of the game play. ”

“And the battle part of the story is presented in gameplay. ”

“That is, if we did a good game of CG and connected it together as a movie, there would be a lot of missing key information that would make the movie watcher misty;”

“And if we split a movie into CGs, it would be too draggy, put a drama on one level, and let the original smooth drama split, it would make the players wonder, most of the players are waiting to play the game, they are impatient to watch the drama all the time, they will want to skip it for a few minutes. ”

“So we can't have both sides, we have to choose the same. If you do a split essence like CG, don't expect it to be shown; if you do it in a movie and split it it into lots of pieces, the players' reputation won't be good. ”

Huang Sibao thought about it and it seemed to be true.

I just slapped myself in the head and it didn't work.

After half a day of discussion, the problem still seemed to be unresolved, so I had to look at President Pei and try to get more tips from him.

And Pei Qian is trying to suppress his joy at this time.

That's good. You're all gonna get answers!

Now that you've discussed the standard answers, why don't I copy them?

Pei Huan thought about it and said: "Plan each chapter in the way of game CG, shoot in the way of science fiction movies, the construction period must be completed, the total duration must be greater than one and a half hours. ”

Zhu Xiaozheng fainted.

With all that you just said, President Bae didn't hear a word?

Or does Pei always have other plans?

The three of them looked at each other and wanted to ask again, but when they saw President Pei's resolute attitude, they had to write it down silently and go back slowly.

Pei Qian continued: “The name of the game is" Mission and Choice ", a science fiction topic. ”

Hu Xianbin almost thought he heard wrong: “Ah? Mission and Choice? It's that...”

Pei Qian nodded: “Yes, go find a way to get the copyright to this game, all we do is reproduce it in HD! ”

Hu Xianbin closed his tongue.

"Mission and Choice", it's a disgrace to domestic games, nightmares of countless old players, the worst and most failed RTS game ever!

Besides, its own worldview is the "Star Sea" of the village, there is no drama at all, art is also a mess, there is no desirable place at all!

They're all replicating classics when they're doing IP.

We're doing IP, turning into garbage pickers?

Or the toxic, harmful, worthless kind of trash?

Why should I? Tenda has so many good IPs, can't you just bring one over and use it? Or maybe it would be better to rewrite another world view!

Pei Qian saw Hu Xianbin's exaggerated expression. He was delighted and did not intend to explain it more.

Huang Sibao also has a tight frown.

But a moment later, he suddenly realized what was happening, and his eyebrows flashed.

“Ah, President Bae, I see! ”

“Mission and Choice is a pain in the hearts of all domestic game players. It represents the era of the great valley of domestic single-machine games and is a disgrace to domestic single-machine games. ”

“And President Pei, you chose this game to reproduce in order to wash away this shame and announce the rebirth and glory of the domestic single-machine game! ”

“If it succeeds, it will definitely reverse the players' impression of domestic games and give all producers of domestic single-machine games a pin of strength! ”

Hu Xianbin also suddenly understood.

It turns out that Bae always makes this game, not out of utility considerations, but has a strong symbolic significance!

I couldn't help but show a very admirable look.

Only a hero like Mr. Pei can do this!

Pei Qian: “…"

Whatever you say, I'm used to it.

Pei Huan sorted out his mood and went on to say: "This game requires innovation in traditional RTS games. ”

Everyone nodded. Obviously, it was impossible for President Pei to follow the rules.

Though a careful reference to successful RTS games such as Star Sea 2 and Fantasy Wars is the safest option, President Pei is clearly not such a person.

Pei Qian thought about it and said: "There are only two races, humans and insects in the game. Balance, if you can do it, just do it together. It doesn't matter if you can't do it well. ”

“It's important to keep the game as simple as possible, preferably without the need for an APM at all. ”

“Well… the greatest difficulty comes not from the enemy, but from one's own people. Each soldier must have his or her own mind, often without the direction and command of the player. ”

“Actual filming requires an actor, but only one lead actor, the others can only be dragon sets. The protagonist invites everyone at will. It's okay to invite big stars, but remember not to look or act. ”

“Also, the construction period has to be guaranteed, the money has to be spent, and the other requirements are gone. ”

Bae Huan has Chengzhu.

I don't believe I can earn it!

These requirements essentially wiped out all the advantages of traditional RTS games.

As Ho Ann said, currently RTS games can still make money if they do it like Star Sea 2. After all, there are still a lot of dead and loyal RTS players around the world, so long as they have a good game, they will still pay for it.

Easy to make RTS games, no way to cater to these old players, no way to compete with new players like GOG, the chances of failure increase dramatically!

In addition, balance is important for RTS games.

Command and Conquer is not as good for many players as Starsea and Fantasy Battle because of poor balance and difficulty in promoting it as an e-sport project.

So Pei Qian makes a balancing diluted RTS game!

With only two races, human and insect, and no balance whatsoever, the core players of RTS games are absolutely unacceptable, let alone the possibility of an e-sport project.

As for "the soldier must have his own thoughts”, Pei Qian is based on his own personal experience, it is time for the players to feel their pain too!

Imagine, in an RTS game, you command a small soldier to attack an enemy army, and then the small soldier sees a lot of enemies and runs away.

It's so sour! The players will definitely be pissed off.

As for the actor, just in case.

What if this thing actually shows up and fires all over the world, making billions of knives in the box office?

The possibilities are small, but they have to be prevented.

So Pei Qian also has to make sure that this thing is definitely a movie too.

There is only one protagonist, and absolutely no acting, not even too many expressions.

In this way, the likelihood that Lu Zhiyuan, like "A Good Tomorrow," will stir up heat by acting, does not exist.

After listening to President Pei, all three were stuck.

President Pei's demands are all a little crazy!

After all, everyone has seen the world, but it's not too shocking, and I don't ask much.

They knew very well that President Bae must have had another puzzle.

But the problem is, Mr. Bae, this time the title seems unbelievable!

How do you know that?

The name of the game is outrageous, and the mechanism of the game is completely inconsistent with the underlying philosophy of RTS games, even making a CG is so different.

I don't know, I thought Pei always had to wear shoes and make it difficult!

Looking at the expression of the three, Pei Qian couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly.

Great, seeing the look on everyone's face, I know this game is probably done!

Five hundred million dollars at a time. Think about it!

Pei Qian stood up and said, "Well, hurry up and get to work! ”

……

After arranging the work, Pei Huan hummed Xiaoqu back to his residence.

I arranged both Tenda Games and Flying Yellow Studios in a very good mood.

However, Pei Qian calmed down and felt that he could not seem to be taken lightly.

Send the plan to Teacher He An and ask the light to check again to see if it can be compensated and how likely it is to be compensated.

What if Teacher He finds out something he didn't notice?

With this in mind, Pei Qian sorted out the main points of the meeting and sent them to He An.

“Teacher He, if you do this, how successful is Mission and Choice? ”

In less than two minutes, Ho Ann responded.

“ ”

“ ”

Several question marks were sent, followed by a video call.

“President Pei, are you really going to do this?” As soon as the video phone was connected, He Ann split his head over his face and asked.

Pei Qian nodded his head: "Yes. ”

He An looked shocked: “That's 500 million! ”

Bae Qian couldn't help but admire his eyebrows: “Yes, 500 million! ”

Ho An at the end of the video had to be silent. He looked carefully at General Pei's face, but still could not guess General Pei's true thoughts.

“If I were another gaming company, I would definitely incense ahead of time. ”

“The standard answer to Star Sea 2 is right here, and you can't even copy it, or even make all the possible mistakes all over again. The 500 million must have drifted with water and had no blood. ”

He settled in and said: "But..."

“President Pei, you've thought about what to do, deliberately only release a partial message to deliberately confuse me, right? ”

“Another show? ”

“When the game succeeds, I will surely be shocked by you and overthrow many of the basic theories of game design. ”

“Is that what you think? ”

Pei Qian: “…"

It's broken. Teacher He can't stop thinking about it.

Pei Qian asked, "Teacher He, so guess how the game will make money? ”

He Anpan said in his face: "You're amazing! I can't guess, okay? ”

Pei Qian is a little speechless. You should talk carefully. Why are you angry?

Okay, since Teacher He can't guess any profitability, don't worry.

“Fine, then thank Teacher He for pointing it out. We will definitely invite you to dinner when the game goes live! ”

Pei Jian was happy to hang up the phone.
