Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

"Director, these studios have been very influential in China recently, are you sure you don't want to think about it?"

In 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 negotiating with Dachang with some puzzlement.

In his opinion, apart from the size gap, the new games of these studios have great potential.

It is worth continuing to negotiate.

But now they are all ignored.

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

"But."

"alright."

The director interrupted Weimer with a wave of his hand.

"Mr. Wei, I know you are very concerned about this matter."

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

"I still need to discuss the details with those representatives. If there is nothing else, please leave first."

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

boom!

Weimer punched the back of the sofa next to him.

So stupid!

This group of guys transferred from the headquarters would reject so many potential games that may become blockbusters because of this stupid prejudice.

Did they really investigate the domestic market before coming here?

Let's not talk about anything else.

Just Honghuang and Dongshanju's domestic influence are not much weaker than ordinary big factories.

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

But now it's fine.

Both of them were directly offended.

How do you want him to explain to others?

"Manager Wei, something serious has happened! The representatives of those studios have left!"

At this time, an anxious cry came from outside.

Wei Mo, who was still angry at first, thumped in his heart, and woke up instantly.

Glancing at the time, it was already past noon!

"damn it!"

Cursing secretly, he hurriedly left the office.

When he came to the reception room, it was already empty and quiet.

obviously.

Waiting for a long time with no response has exhausted the patience of these representatives, and no one is willing to wait any longer.

Weimer's face was livid, and his fists were clenched.

But in the end.

Still sighed helplessly.

Of course he does.

The director has just been transferred from the headquarters and is eager to make achievements.

This starting point is correct.

The fault is that he is too self-willed and only thinks that what he thinks is right.

"I hope it won't cause any damage, alas"

Weimer shook his head, turned and left.

For the entire big company, his small management can't change anything.

The giant hard branch is downstairs.

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

"Didn't you make a deal there?"

"Well, they asked for too high a share, and they felt that the theme of our game was not good, so they wanted to modify the permissions. After talking for more than half an hour, they finally broke up."

Lao Song's voice came from the other end of the phone, without much ups and downs.

Talking about business, no one can guarantee that it will be successful.

And it is still in the case of so many competitors.

Such a result.

On the contrary, it was within his expectation.

If you had just met Nintendo and enthusiastically approached them, and when you saw their game design, you would be surprised and pull them to sign the contract, then it would be a ghost.

"Forget it, if you didn't talk about achievements, you can't talk about it. This game doesn't show much from the design. Only when you really play it, can you understand its fun."

The game "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" is not too shocking at the design level.

What is difficult is the invisible place of game production.

Even with Honghuang's current manpower and funds, plus the universal game engine, it would be quite difficult to make it.

After all, this game cost 800 million U.S. dollars in the previous life, and it took a team 8 years to make it.

certainly.

He also knew that there must be exaggeration in it.

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

And a lot of time was spent on game design, scenario scripts, and humanistic materials.

They can all save this time.

The shortened R\u0026D cycle will naturally greatly reduce the labor costs that account for the majority, so he has the confidence to make this game.

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

"I have asked the production team to build the map framework according to your request before, and I have collected a lot of humanistic materials, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to make it in a short time."

"It's okay, as long as we can do it before the annual exclusive masterpiece of the three mainframe platforms next year, if there are not enough people, we will expand the enrollment."

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words."

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

Let them only see that the Lixiao team has been in the limelight, and they are very greedy.

Now that the preparations are about the same, and he can finally start working with all his strength, Lao Song is naturally full of energy and wants to do a big job.

"correct."

At this time, Chen Lin thought of something.

"Is there any entertainment company you know? The game can't be produced for the time being, and the promotional CG can still be filmed in advance."

"You want to make a promotional CG for this game?" Lao Song paused, "What kind of CG is it?"

"A TV series, let's call it "Western World", and it's the latest popular science fiction background."

Long before planning 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 found a lot of markets in China, and are liked by many young people.

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

It is completely enough to make game CG.

"Westworld combined with a sci-fi background?"

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

What kind of weird setting is this?

Are you sure these two things can be combined?

Don't make it like the Qin Shihuang movie made in foreign countries before, it looks nondescript and scolds a lot.

After pondering for a while, he said, "I talked to several entertainment companies when I was doing the endorsement before. They should have many actors and mixed-race Asians who came to China to develop. I'll go and ask about it when the time comes."

"Then leave it to you."

After some discussion, the two quickly settled the matter, and each took their commuting planes to rush back to the studio.

Not half a month.

News spread that Juhard and Nintendo were talking about exclusives for the next year.

As expected by the players, two well-known manufacturers, Shengqu and Juqing, were finally negotiated.

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.

The news just came out.

It immediately set off a frenzy of discussion in the game circle.

"It turned out to be these two? I thought it would be a penguin."

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

"Sure enough, I guessed right. They are all well-known domestic and foreign manufacturers."

"Needless to say? The annual monopoly can't be won by any company, it has to be strong enough."

"If these two join in, it will be difficult to say who will win and who will lose on the host side next year."

"Wait and watch the show"

"Watching a play +1"

Players are not surprised by this result.

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 sent people to negotiate, but not many people were optimistic about them.

After all, this is related to Yusanjia's host battle tomorrow. Even if it were them, they would definitely choose a more secure and powerful large-scale manufacturer.

"It seems that Honghuang also sent someone to talk about it? Why is there no news at all?"

In a university dormitory.

A few young men who came to the exhibition to support Hong Huang gathered in front of the computer, scrolling through the news in doubt.

"Why don't you send a message to Brother Sledgehammer?" Someone immediately suggested.

"I sent it just now, but I didn't reply. I should be busy."

"I'm so anxious, you guys said that the new game will be cut in half because of this?"

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

But I have to admit.

These guys on the internet are right.

It is not so difficult to win the annual exclusive quota in such fierce competition.

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

Some even revealed the arrogance of the Yusanjia, who did not treat them as human beings, and rejected their proposals without even seeing them.

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

Hong Huang probably didn't get any good results.

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

Suddenly, an exclamation interrupted their discussion.

Originally refreshing the extremely fast Weibo game section, two messages popped up one after another, officially sent by Shengqu and Juqing.

It is the latest news of the console-side exclusive game of the year!

"Is there any new news so soon?"

"Juqing's is an open world game?"

"Sheng Qu's seems to be too!"

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

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

well known.

Open world games are extremely difficult to make.

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

It is also necessary for the plot style to form its own system and perfectly integrate into this world.

More importantly, that is freedom!

Most of the traditional games are played with a main line going to the black, and then branching out from the main line.

But the open world is different.

What matters is a free exploration.

No matter which point you start from, you can play the game very well.

Even a small bread casually given to a beggar may encounter a completely different plot.

It is not an easy task to let players immerse themselves in it and be attracted by the game world you have created. A little carelessness may be full of loopholes.

Therefore, most manufacturers do not dare to touch this category without any strength.

But once it is done well, it will be another matter, and it will definitely be enthusiastically sought after by players.

It can be seen that Yusanjia's battlefield this time should be in an open world game.

At that time, I am afraid that it will cause an upsurge of open world games.

as expected.

Just half a day.

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

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

However.

Just when everyone thought it was over.

Under Honghuang's official account, a new announcement was suddenly issued.

#《西世界》, a world that can satisfy all your fantasies. #

Below the announcement, there is also a short video.

This unexplained text made all the players stunned, and the originally intense discussion gradually subsided.

"What's the situation? Why did Honghuang make an announcement at this time?"

"What does this passage mean? Could it be Honghuang's new game trailer?"

"Fuck! Is Honghuang releasing a new game?"

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

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

"Look at the video below!"

My head was a little dizzy for more than 20 days, and I couldn't stand it anymore. I took a few days off for 7,000 to save the manuscript and sort out the plot by the way. My Riwan Medal is gone! (crying)
