The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 753 Misty Birth
"Brother-in-law, I thought you wouldn't show up. I didn't expect you to give these people face like this!" After the speech session of the developer meeting ended, Huang He returned to the backstage, and Leng Zhimeng asked with a smile.

"It's not me giving them face, it's our platform, and I have to rely on them to survive in the future! Naturally, I have to treat them better and let them know that our company's development of this platform is up to me, the chairman. Pushed forward." Boss Huang said quietly.

"I understand, it's all the fault of those damn game companies, they dare to look down on us, they will definitely regret it in the future!" Leng Zhimeng said angrily, waving her little fist.

Boss Huang hastily held this developer conference, and there is indeed a certain degree of compulsion.That is, Jiangnan Group has never been able to form a stable cooperative relationship with major game manufacturers around the world.

Except for Jiangnan Group's own game companies and studios, and a small number of small companies, all game companies with a scale of tens of millions refused to cooperate with Jiangnan Group, and refused to allow their games to be registered on the OO mobile game platform. .

So these things are all things I expected, but Boss Huang still feels a little unbelievable that these companies rejected him so uniformly.

The old man can feel that there seems to be a force in private that is pushing all this, making these game companies unite to reject him.

As for where this power came from, Boss Huang could vaguely guess a thing or two.

But it was precisely because he guessed the power behind it that Boss Wang knew that this kind of thing could not be stopped by himself.

Either directly blow up the black hand behind the scenes, or tempt them with benefits that these game companies cannot refuse, so that they have the courage to ignore the warning and control of the behind-the-scenes forces and choose to cooperate with themselves.

Then it is very necessary to catch these independent game developers, which is why Boss Huang will attend this developer conference in person, and like an MLM organization, he will give passionate speeches to give these people blood. The reason is that the OO mobile game platform has reached the time when the power of these people is necessary.

Even though the OO mobile game platform is in full swing, it is estimated that the monthly revenue in September will exceed 9 million US dollars, which is really scary.

But this income is extremely unstable, and most of it depends on one game.

However, this game called Bastard Bird is actually quite mediocre in playability. If it weren't for its magical game experience and the extensive publicity of the entire social network, no one cares about this game for a long time, and it can be played for three days. The time is considered quite awesome.

But even with the support of these external forces, the golden age of Chaos Birds will end after September at most. Just like in the previous life, the news of this game suddenly became popular, and then after just half a month, it was over again. Suddenly no one cares about it, because the essence of the game is too scarce, lacks a rich game experience, and cannot occupy more time of the player, and death has become a matter of course.

In order not to make the sales data in October too ugly, but also to take advantage of the huge effect of the bastard bird on the entire network, Boss Huang, who has lost the support of game companies, must get the support of these independent gamers. Then let their work go up there.

In fact, what Boss Huang said in the speech just now is not nonsense, on the contrary, in fact, every sentence is the truth.

For the mobile game platform, it is true that the value created by independent game developers is much higher than those of game companies.

Because in the case of limited mobile phone performance, it is unrealistic to rely on game screens or game content to win, because the platform cannot support such high image quality and content, so you can only rely on various novel gameplays and brain holes to win. Winning, and that's the indie game, the thing people approve of.

Boss Huang never wants to play another bastard bird, because most of the reason for the popularity of this game is that he spent money on it, which is not sustainable.

Boss Wang hopes that there will be 100 games worth 1/10 of the bastard bird, so that the entire OO mobile game platform can really take off.

----------

After solving the follow-up sustainable development problem of the OO mobile game platform, Boss Huang rushed to another meeting non-stop.

However, this meeting is a meeting Boss Huang has been looking forward to for a long time, because he will finally see the finished film of the super TV series that he has been dreaming of for a long time.

Just three days ago, New Zealand's Weta Studios finally came with good news. The first season of "The Misty Journey", which has a total of 24 episodes, has completed all the post-production special effects production work, and only waits for the director to conduct the final review. After editing and editing, it can be released directly.

In fact, because the director of this TV series cooperated with the special effects studio in New Zealand to produce special effects throughout the whole process, the final version is actually the director's final edited version. As long as it is personally reviewed by Boss Huang, everything will be fine. It can be shown directly.

Knowing the news, Boss Huang has mixed feelings, because all this has not come easily.

More than two years ago, Weta Studio began to take over the special effects work of "Gone with the Wind". Until now, the whole work has not been completely completed, and it has taken two years and four months.

This time may not be too long for a TV series, but for our boss Huang, it is really too long.

If it was this time two years ago, Boss Huang basically used all of his wealth to vote for this TV series.

Two years later, the special effects production cost of this TV series is no longer worth 1/20 of Boss Huang's property.

But there is one thing to say, the production cost of this TV series still set a world-class record.

Yes, this is not China's TV production cost record, but the world's TV production cost record, because it spent a total of more than 8.5 million US dollars to produce various special effects.

However, Weta Studios has not received any orders from other film companies in the past two years, but its company size has expanded by five times.

Before taking this order, the entire Weta Studio had 1000 staff members, and half of them were on the verge of being fired due to lack of new jobs.

However, after taking over, the staff has gradually expanded to 5000 people. The monthly salary of these people is as high as 2000 million US dollars, but it still cannot meet the needs of the work. The entire studio is overloaded. Only then did it finally take two years to complete the special effects work for the entire 24 episodes.

No way, Boss Huang's requirements are extremely high. All special effects shots of TV dramas must use movie-level special effects shots, and no laziness is allowed.

So the first season of "Gone with the Wind", in terms of special effects, can definitely be called ceiling level.And it's not the ceiling of TV special effects, but the ceiling of movie special effects.

You know, this is a TV series with a total of 24 episodes, and the duration of each episode is not 40 minutes, but 60 minutes.

Therefore, the total duration of the entire TV series is as high as 1440 minutes, and the duration of the special effects shots is as long as 240 minutes.

what is this concept?

A normal movie is 120 minutes long, and the special effects of the entire TV series are equivalent to the duration of two movies. From this point, we can know how exaggerated the special effects shots are this time.

Although the manpower increased to about 1000 in the end, if Jiangnan Group hadn't packaged and mailed 200 servers to New Zealand, and connected them together to form a supercomputer to provide computing power for all special effects calculations.

If Boss Huang hadn't bought the entire Weta Studio directly, and then poured dollars into it regardless of the cost, all of this would have been impossible to achieve.

But now, all this came before Boss Huang.

"My dear Mr. Director, President Taylor, thank you for your hard work!" In the living room of his presidential box, Boss Huang shook hands with the two Weta Studio executives and said gratefully .

One of the two is Peter Jackson, the chief director of Misty Journey, and the other is Richard Taylor, the company's president, who is also the company's technical director and is responsible for the overall work of the entire special effects.

These two can be said to be the core characters of the entire movie and even the entire studio.

"Where, to be able to participate in the production of such a great TV series, both of us are destined to go down in history!" Peter Jackson said with emotion.

In fact, Peter Jackson was not originally the director of this TV series, because Boss Huang did not invite him, and he has already filmed such a masterpiece as The Lord of the Rings, an epic Hollywood director, let him host The filming of a TV series is somewhat humiliating.

Moreover, Peter Jackson's main experience at the time was filming the movie King Kong, which was also a childhood dream of Peter Jackson, and it was impossible for him to disperse his energy on the ethereal journey.

Of course, the most important thing is that Boss Huang didn't want to invite a foreigner to direct a Chinese culture film, so he picked a few good seedlings from China and joined an experienced academic director in the United Nations to direct this film. Part of the live-action shooting of a TV series.

Later, when it came to post-production, problems arose. Huaxia’s directors had little contact with special effects production, so they did not have a specific concept of special effects. When cooperating with the studio to produce special effects, they were full of problems.

That's all, the most terrible thing is that many of the shots they shot on location in the early stage could not be used at all because of conflicts in special effects, and the whole project was once in a state of being pushed back.
