The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 415 Let's Adapt Bright Sword

"Look, what is the hottest game in China right now?" Huang He asked back.

"Of course it's your company's Warcraft 3!" Zeng Qingyan said insincerely, the most popular game this year is still a legend, but in two years it will become Fantasy Westward Journey.

But the hottest stand-alone game will always be Warcraft 3
"So, you should develop a game like Warcraft 3 that has stand-alone content and online content!" Huang He said.

"I see!" Zeng Qing nodded thoughtfully, "But I know a lot about the world's major game companies. Games like this are very good, and I'm afraid it's hard to get an agent!"

"You, why do you have to be an agent yourself? Why can't you develop it yourself?" Huang He glared at Zeng Qing, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, which made Zeng Qing depressed.

I am actually younger than the other one, and my teens hate iron and steel, but I have no way to do it, who will let others be more successful than myself.

But Huang He's words really touched Zeng Qing, yes, why can't Tengda develop games by itself?
After all, Tengda still has many programmers left over from the QQ era. It is a problem for these programmers to deal with it in this way. Now it seems that it is a good choice for them to switch directly to games.

And the cost will be much lower than importing and representing games.

Thinking of this, Zeng Qing had a decision in his mind, but he still hesitated and said, "But Boss Huang, this is far from enough to quench my thirst. It takes about two years at least for a game to be developed."

"And it's hard for me to guarantee whether a game will really become popular!" Zeng Qing said.

"This is easy!" Huang He nodded. "Actually, Kaixuan can still make up for it. First of all, you can find ways to optimize the game so that the game consumes less computing resources."

"Actually, you can just remove the impractical all-round 3D rendering function, as long as there is a 2.5D screen, then the domestic computer can be used at least."

"In addition, your Triumph can still enter the OO game center first, anyway, I promised you. Within ten years, you Tenda can have a benefit that enjoys no platform sharing. With this treatment, you can change the game object once a year. , use it on Kaixuan first this year!"

"However, I must warn you that once you log in to the OO game platform, the charges from your other channels must be the same as the OO platform. There must be no difference in charges, otherwise you will have to pay huge compensation!" Huang He said.

"Understood, these are not problems!" Zeng Qing said quickly, with a smile on his face. It was his original purpose to let Kaixuan log on to the 00 game platform.

"Also, as for whether your self-developed game will be successful, this question is actually very boring, because any business action needs to take risks. This is not a question that a normal entrepreneur should ask!"

"But since you asked, let me also tell you that the quality of the game is crucial, but more importantly, it is to adapt to the game habits of Chinese players, and secondly, to find an excellent IP, which can make the game Take off quickly!" Huang He said.

"What is an excellent IP?" Zeng Qing was stunned for a moment and asked back.

"Any well-known thing is an IP!" Huang He said lightly, "For example, Warcraft 3, this is an excellent IP. I use Warcraft 3 to sell related blind boxes, and I use this IP to drive other products. !"

"To give another simple example, you want to make a game, one is a brand new world developed by yourself, and the other is the game world of Journey to the West created with the help of Journey to the West, then you say that when these two games are released at the same time At that time, which game will be more enthusiastic by players?"

"Of course it's the game world of Journey to the West!" Zeng Qing said.

"That's right. Westward Journey launched by Netease is a typical use of IP. Wasn't Stephen Chow's Westward Journey very popular at that time, so he used this movie plot to make a game, and ended up helping NetEase in a year. Earned hundreds of millions of dollars in profits."

If the game made by Netease is still this game, but it is not called Big Talk Westward Journey, but a name that has never been heard of like Big Talk Wolf Warrior, will he still have such achievements in a short period of time?
"I understand!" Zeng Qing nodded vigorously, he felt that he had opened up a whole new world.

However, after understanding the importance of IP, Zeng Qing fell into a new difficulty.

"Boss Huang, but we, Tengda, don't have any famous IP in our hands." Zeng Qing said.

"Just go to the market and buy one!" Huang He rolled his eyes and said, "Which movie, TV series, or novel do you want to adapt to a game, just buy it and make it into your own game. "

"Then let me say, I value your bright sword?" Zeng Qing said in a low voice.

"What did you see?" Huang He was taken aback for a moment.

"Bright Sword!" Zeng Qing said seriously, "Boss Huang, isn't your Bright Sword the only one that has sparked a national frenzy recently? If your Bright Sword is adapted into an online game, wouldn't it be the biggest TV show in the world?" IP!"

"But how could Bright Sword be adapted into a TV series..." Huang He realized that he, a time traveler, couldn't keep up with Zeng Qing, a native.

This is Huang He's ignorance. As everyone knows, Liangjian has been adapted into a game once, and it's still a network similar to Zhengtu, awesome!

"Bright Sword is so easy to adapt!" Zeng Qing continued, "Where is the battlefield where Bright Sword takes place? It's the Anti-Japanese War! This is the best war theme. We can definitely make a war online game that focuses on shooting."

"I already had an idea just now. We can use several classic battles in Liangjian as maps, such as the Battle of Cangyunling, the Battle of Lijiapo, the Battle of Ping'an County, etc. In the future, we can also join other battles in the Anti-Japanese War Classic battles, and maps can be divided into PVP and PVE gameplay."

"The PVE gameplay is that the player plays the role of a soldier of the independent regiment to defend the country and defeat the Japanese devils!"

"In terms of PVP gameplay, in order to avoid some social discussions, players can become modern fighters and return to these maps to fight again, just like the combat mode of Counter-Strike..."

As Zeng Qing talked endlessly, Huang He's eyes widened. No matter how it sounded, it sounded like crossing the line of fire. Could this Zeng Qing be a genius?

In the end, Zeng Qing left satisfied. Regarding his request to buy Bright Sword to make the game, Huang He said that as long as he is willing to pay the licensing fee, it will be fine.

It is only a one-time copyright fee of 1 million yuan, but this 1 million yuan is only for two years, and then 3000 million yuan in licensing fees will be supported every year.

This made Zeng Qing speechless, but considering Liangjian's huge influence in the country at this time, this copyright is not too expensive. After all, Legend has earned one billion a year, and Fantasy Westward Journey is now a year. [-] million, as long as Bright Sword can reach the popularity of Fantasy Westward Journey, then this business can't be lost.

Of course, Zeng Qing couldn't make a decision on the spot, he had to report to the board of directors.

But only two days later, when Huang He was about to get on the plane, Zeng Qing came over excitedly and signed a contract with Tangren Film and Television, to adapt Bright Sword into an online game.

However, Huang He specifically stated when signing the contract that because Liangjian is the IP of Jiangnan Group, in order to ensure that Tengda’s changes will not affect the praise of Liangjian’s IP, Jiangnan Group has the right to intervene in the development of Liangjian throughout the entire process, and has raised concerns about the development of Liangjian. Various requirements.

Of course, if Tengda thinks that Jiangnan's demands are too much and those who point fingers are very annoying, he can give up the development at any time. Jiangnan Group is willing to refund the copyright transfer fee in full, but it will never lower its standards for the quality of Liangjian.

A few days later, Tengda tentatively released the news that Bright Sword will be adapted into a game.

An anti-Japanese TV series can be adapted into a game. This was in 2003... no, even in 2021, it was a news that sounded shocking to my mother, so it set off a huge wave of discussion almost instantly.

Therefore, there are mixed reviews in the media, and more than 70% of them are negative reviews, but Zeng Qing doesn't care, as the saying goes, don't be afraid of being scolded, just be afraid of being scolded.

The more people scold you today, the more people will play games by then, so you won't suffer!

--------

While the Chinese people were still discussing the adaptation of Bright Sword's game, Huang He had already arrived at the Paris airport, but out of expectation, Qu Wei didn't come to pick him up, but just sent an assistant of her own.

Huang He was a little unhappy, this Qu Wei didn't know how to behave.

But soon Huang He learned from Qu Wei's assistant that Qu Wei had encountered a lot of trouble and was arguing with someone now.

Sure enough, when Huang He arrived at the place where Qu Wei was working, he heard Qu Wei's roar like an explosion, "I already paid you 30, and I promised you that I could get the invitation, why did you change your mind now?" ? I QNLDM!"

Hearing Qu Wei's classic national curse, Huang He grinned slightly, but fortunately, the person talking to Qu Wei was a foreigner who couldn't understand Chinese, so he just looked at Qu Wei with a formulaic smile, as if Qu Wei No matter how much you scold, it has nothing to do with him.

"Is the license still not settled?" Huang He asked the assistant beside him.

"Yes!" The assistant nodded, biting his lips and said, "When we came, we spent 30 yuan and entrusted a local agency company to help us get the invitation letter for Fashion Week. This price was regarded as an invitation letter in the local area. It’s expensive, normally only 20 will do.”

"I thought I could get it in a few days, but now it's been a week, and there are only two days left before the final deadline, but the invitation letter still hasn't arrived, our President Qu is going crazy!"
