Top of the Great Era

In the past few years, Stallone did not make many movies, so he went into business.

First opened a hotel, failed and went bankrupt.

Later, I started a beverage company, mainly selling drinks that strengthen yang and nourish yin, but it was also a mess.

Later, I bought another magazine and published magazines.

It was 2005, and we had entered the era of Internet media.The paper media was in a slump, and everyone else was trying to get out, but he squeezed in.

It is conceivable that this business failed again.

He also played with painting, and held art exhibitions as a painter...but he couldn't sell it at all, and the transformation failed.

How to do?
He married a supermodel for the third time, and gave birth to three daughters. For the sake of family livelihood, he had no choice but to return to his old career and return to the film industry in a big way in the past few years.

First, he filmed "Rocky 6" and "First Blood 4", and won the attention of movie fans through two classic movie series. Then he cooperated with Lionsgate Films, obtained a platter investment from Jieyu Media, and launched " The Expendables" project.

A big success.

This announced the official return of Stallone.

In addition to his two series of "The Expendables" and "Escape Plan", as a talented filmmaker, Stallone will definitely have more projects.

This made him the object of looting by Hollywood.

Even if Stallone's movies are not so conspicuous in the box office, the DVD market is very popular, and he is almost the most popular Hollywood star in the DVD market.

Action actors already have great appeal and sales advantages in the DVD market.

It just so happens that Warner is the overlord in the DVD field.

In this regard, it is difficult for Ziwei Star Global to compete with Warner, and Stallone is about to be snatched by Warner.

Zhou Buqi didn't pay much attention at first.

I feel that he is just an actor, and he, the big boss, can't let him come forward to invite Stallone to dinner and extend invitations.

Unexpectedly, when I came to Spain for vacation, I met him.

Then it is necessary to solve this matter smoothly.

In any case, Zhou Buqi is still holding the title of CEO of Ziwei Star Global Group. When the opportunity comes, he must do something.

Moreover, the significance of Stallone is indeed great.

Warner focuses on the DVD market, while Zhou Buqi focuses on the streaming media market.The film and television streaming media industry is the subversion and continuation of the past film and television DVD industry.

Stallone is also a symbolic character in Hollywood action movies, and things are rare and expensive.

Here, Zhou Buqi made a request, with enough face, Stallone thought for a while, and quickly made a compromise.

He is negotiating with Warner that he will cooperate with 5 films in the future, and the signing fee is 1200 million US dollars.If Ziweixing Universal can give a signing fee of 1000 million US dollars, he can switch to MGM or Summit Entertainment.

Zhou Buqi agreed with a smile, "Deal."

Stallone also had a plan in his heart, and pretended to sigh, "If the road of making movies doesn't work, maybe he will do business with Mr. Zhou in the future."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "No, making a movie will definitely be successful."

……

Airplanes fly across the sky.

Zhou Buqi and his party returned to the capital, and Mai Feixue set foot on the land of the motherland again, and immediately cheered, "It's better to step on our own land!"

"Aren't you sleepy?"

"Sleepy."

"Then go back and rest, and report to the company tomorrow to reimburse some bills." Zhou Buqi realized something, paused, and warned, "You are not allowed to reimburse yourself for the things you bought."

Mai Feixue said in a low voice: "If you don't reimburse me, I have no money to pay you back."

Zhou Buqi was amused by her, "You don't need to pay it back!"

After returning to the city from the airport, send Mai Feixue back to her apartment first.

This is the beauty of Ziweixing's headquarters location. It is located within Wangjing, and it is the first commercial center from the Capital Airport to the capital city.

Zhou Buqi himself went straight to the Sohu Media Building to meet Ren Yuxin and several of his important assistants, including Ma Xiaotiao, the former Chief Designer of Penguin Games.

This trip to the UK also yielded certain results. Zhou Buqi firmly recognized Ren Yuxin's game strategy development ideas, and he wanted to find a way to realize industrialized creativity.

It cannot be like the traditional sense, creativity can only be burst out by inspiration, this model is too inefficient.

Just like EA, in the past few decades, it has acquired dozens or hundreds of game studios, and basically closed them one after another. One of the important reasons is that the creativity is exhausted.

When a game development studio cannot develop creative games, it will become a cost burden with no output, and there will be a great hidden danger of closing down and layoffs.

We need to find a way, just like the Hollywood film industry, to let ideas be produced like an assembly line.

In fact, it is the imitation idea of ​​the sewing monster.

As the game industry gets deeper and deeper, Zhou Buqi's understanding becomes more and more abundant, and he can understand more and more why the penguin game business in his previous life was able to thrive under the leadership of Ren Yuxin, and quickly became the number one player in the country. , and became the number one in the world, making Penguin the world's largest game giant.

Plagiarism and copying are certainly criticized, but there is indeed a very strong creative logic of underlying industrialization here.

This is a game concept with strong localization characteristics. It is suspected of taking shortcuts and taking shortcuts, but it is indeed a way to reduce costs and increase efficiency and achieve results quickly!
It's like writing a web novel.

It is very difficult for an author to create a genre by himself, especially in the early days, it is difficult to gain the recognition of readers.But if you follow the trend of writing, you will find that others have created the "mortal flow" and have achieved great success, cultivating the minds of readers.At this time, I also follow the novels of ordinary human beings, which is equivalent to taking a shortcut, and the difficulty of success is greatly reduced.

Two months ago, when Zhou Buqi designed the management structure of Changyou, he wanted to focus on the American Don Mattrick. After all, his resume is too impressive. It plays an extremely important role and has an international perspective.

Now it seems that it really should be reconsidered.

Ren Yuxin seemed to be more important!

Don Mattrick is a standard American thinking game concept, maybe he can do well, but he is following the old ideas of the past...Ren Yuxin is different, his set has a distinctive Its localization features are absolutely innovative, and it is basically the only one in the world.

Rare is precious!

At least this is quite similar to Zhou Buqi's idea, at least relying on the stitching ideas of imitation, it can quickly produce a large number of mobile games like an assembly line.

Then, in this blank market of mobile games, quickly seize the territory and occupy the minds of users.

Especially now that the performance of smartphones is relatively poor, and mobile games are mainly casual games.

Casual games are often easier to develop and have more vitality than large-scale games, such as Tetris and Super Mario, which have survived for decades.

Zhou Buqi needs to have a good chat with Ren Yuxin and entrust him with a heavy responsibility. He should not only focus on the domestic game market, but also give him the authority to focus on international strategies, and use his game-making ideas to guide Changyou's recent development. years ahead.
