Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 205: Stupid to Death
Just when Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian arrived in France.

The domestic "stabbing in the back" incident continued smoothly along the original trajectory, and the first drama of the new year was officially staged.

The incident originated from an entertainment news article: "Actor Yin Xiaotian and actress Bian Xiaoxiao had a fight during the filming of "Guns and Bullets" due to creative differences."

Afterwards, Yin Xiaotian immediately denied on Weibo that he had done it; on the other hand, Bian Xiaoxiao cried on Weibo that she had been beaten.

For a time, many celebrities on the Internet began to accuse Yin Xiaotian of beating people.

Da Hei Niu: "I have worked with Bian Xiaoxiao and I believe in her character! I called her yesterday and just wanted to say don't cry, girl!"

Du Chun: "Brother, be a man and come out and apologize!"

Xue Jianing: "Just apologize. There's nothing wrong with standing up and apologizing."

Bao Jianfeng: "Director Lai, you should look for me in the future. First, I don't hit people. Second, I don't change the script. I have a gentle personality and stable emotions. I guarantee the quality and quantity, and the price is fair."

Wang Luodan: "Personal attacks and insults, even after the truth is out, they still say they deserve it. What is wrong with this world?"

In addition, Li Xiaolu, Dong Xuan, and Huang Jue also jumped out.

These are nothing. The one who dealt him the fatal blow was the shoe horn. He said that he had the truth and after watching the video, he realized that the two had indeed had a physical conflict and it was not hype as the internet said.

We also hope that one party will apologize to the other party and calm the matter down.

He always looks like a good guy, a gentleman who protects women. Yin Xiaotian became the target of public criticism for a while. People posted a message asking Xie Horn to release the full video, but he refused.

He also said that he had no obligation and that what he announced was the truth.

Yin Xiaotian is also speechless
Let the two parties quarrel over this matter first, make it bigger and more severe, and when the situation turns around, people will see how hypocritical people in the entertainment industry are.

It can be said that the public image of celebrities in the entertainment industry was completely ruined by this incident.

They are extremely hypocritical and only care about interests. Brothers and sisters, relatives and friends are all people who can be betrayed.

This is also the reason why Fang Hong doesn’t make friends with anyone in the entertainment industry.

One thing in front of you, another behind your back!
Although Fang Hong is insidious, he fights openly and honestly. It is a business war and he is only targeting one person. He will not harm other people.

From the beginning, he didn't do anything to Yang Zi, Da Hei Niu, or Liu Sisi.

The filming of "Scar of Sky" went smoothly without affecting any other actors in the show.

The city of Rennes, located in the northwest of France, has a suitable temperature and ancient streets and classical buildings.

As they walked along, they thought they had returned to medieval Europe, but the modern buildings and infrastructure dotted around made it clear that they were in modern times.

The road here is not very wide, with only two lanes on each side, and there is a leisure square in the middle of the road for people to visit.

The vegetation is trimmed very artistically and is very ornamental.

The city has a population of just over 200,000, the infrastructure is complete, and there aren't too many cars on the road, so you can cross the road.

Although it is the second largest city, its urban area is actually not very big and there are not many pedestrians on the streets.

Liu Tianxian had her long hair loose, wore sunglasses and a black windbreaker, and looked intellectual and elegant. She held a map in her hand, but her face looked confused.

"I realized that coming here with you was a mistake." Fang Hong found a seat on the side of the road and sat down with his bag on his back, resting his luggage in one hand.

Liu Tianxian’s luggage contains a lot of women’s things.

The two of them had been wandering around for a long time but couldn't find a place. They were really tired.

Liu Tianxian had no burden on her body, so she kicked him and said, "Don't talk nonsense to me. Am I not looking for it?"

"If you really can't understand the map, just go and ask someone. It's such a small place, you can always find the answer by asking people." Fang Hong brushed his calf.

Liu Tianxian thought it made sense, so she grabbed a foreigner passing by and pointed at the map to ask him, speaking French quite haltingly.

The foreigner listened carefully, looked at the map, then turned around, pointed to the left and then to the right, and talked a lot for a long time.

Liu Tianxian made an "OK" gesture to express his gratitude, then looked forward and looked at the map.

Fang Hong stood up and asked: "Did you understand?"

"No." Liu Tianxian shook her head.

Fang Hong looked at her speechlessly, wondering whether she was reliable or not.

"Oh, I'm leaving. I'll ask when I get over there."

Liu Tianxian smiled, took his arm, and walked forward in the direction the foreigner pointed.

When they were almost there, Liu Tianxian started to feel confused again. She asked a foreigner, who said they had been there before, so the two of them walked back.

I walked back, following the foreigner's instructions, and returned to the original place.

"Why are you coming back again?"

Liu Tianxian scratched his head, very confused.

Fang Hong felt really bad. He grabbed her shoulders from behind and turned her around, facing a European-style multi-story building. He pointed at the sign at the top and asked, "Is this the right place?"

"What is this?" Liu Tianxian was very confused.

"Ubisoft, Ubisoft, isn't that the logo?" Fang Hong took out his cell phone and showed her a picture.

The image shows several artistic circles, the Ubisoft logo.

Liu Tianxian looked at the picture, then looked at the sign on the building and the string of letters below, and immediately realized: "Yes, this is it."

"I am really impressed by you."

Fang Hong was speechless, and then he walked into the building.

The two of them stood at the door, walking back and forth for a long time, and asking foreigners everywhere. The foreigners were unreliable and stupid as hell.

"Hey, you, why didn't you say anything when you saw it? Why didn't you say anything? You should have said it!" Liu Tianxian caught up with him, jumped up and patted him on the head.

"I'm not sure. You can read, but I can't." Fang Hong said.

"Then blame it on you for not being able to read, don't blame me." Liu Tianxian turned the tables.

I don't know who said to give her confidence when she came.

"Okay, okay, blame me." Fang Hong gave in to her.

"It's your fault in the first place."

The two of them quarreled and entered the lobby of Ubisoft and came to the front desk.

Liu Tianxian stopped being crazy and returned to a serious look. He introduced himself to the white lady at the front desk: "We are the developer of "Heroes of Glory" from China Yutu Company. We have discussed this with Chairman Claude before coming here."

"Please wait."

After saying this, the white lady made a phone call, then hung up and motioned for the two to follow her.

This time there was no waiting and the two were led into a reception room.

"Oh my God, Mr. Fang, you've kept me waiting for too long."

As the two were playing with each other, a middle-aged white man came in and greeted them warmly. It was Claude, the chairman and CEO of this place!
In fact, this man can be considered old, in his fifties and almost sixty years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man, a rich man who is carefree and well-maintained.

"I'm sorry Mr. Claude, I was delayed on the way." Fang Hong said, and Liu Tianxian translated.

"Then you should tell me so I can pick you up." Claude said politely and looked at Liu Tianxian: "Who is this beautiful lady?"

"I'm his girlfriend, my last name is Liu." Liu Tianxian didn't translate and introduced herself directly.

"Hello."

Claude stretched out his hand and shook it, then tried to kiss it.

Fang Hong saw this and slapped Liu Tianxian's hand away: "Let's talk business."

What's wrong with you? You're kissing my hand.

Claude was a little surprised when his hand missed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Claude. We don't have such etiquette in China. We are more conservative. Please forgive us."

Liu Tianxian smiled politely.

Knowing that the man was jealous, she looked at him with a slightly reproachful look, saying he was rude.

"Oh, it's okay, let's talk about cooperation." Claude was not annoyed and motioned for the two to sit down.

The two sides sat opposite each other and talked about the game first.

I have seen and experienced "Honor of Kings". It is an advanced game compared to "League of Legends" in terms of competitive battles. It is indeed a good game.

Although its popularity around the world is not very high, it has good growth momentum and potential.

This was discussed on the phone before and we have understood it. This time we are here to discuss global agency in regions other than China and certain other areas.

Ubisoft has offices in North America, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Bulgaria, Singapore, India, Ukraine, Poland, Mexico, and South Korea.
It has studios and distribution centers in more than 55 countries around the world, and its products are sold in countries.

It can be said that the channels are very wide, but Yutu does not have such capabilities.

It also cooperates with Hollywood Warner, Universal, and Sony to take their film works and make games of the same name.

For example, "King Kong" and "Star Wars" series.

And they also have competitive games, such as "Rainbow Six" and "The Division", and have rich experience and strong operational capabilities.

"My company agrees to be your agent and will pay you a commission of 70 million euros. Ubisoft will get % of the profits. The operation period is ten years, and the services and other basic authority parameters will be managed by ourselves. What do you think?" Claude made the request.

Now 1 euro is equal to 8 yuan, which is million yuan. The cost of game development has been recovered.

Zhuchang spent 2 million US dollars, which is more than billion RMB, to be the agent of World of Warcraft. This company is really stingy.

Liu Tianxian didn't understand the game, so he translated it for Fang Hong.

"Tell him that during the three-year operation period, the parameters and service permissions cannot be changed and must be controlled by us. In addition, the server must be changed by Yutu through remote assistance, and they are only responsible for maintenance."

Fang Hong did not mention the profit sharing ratio, nor did he delve into the agency fees. He wanted to control the data, control the user information, and control the service rights.

To achieve global data synchronization, hero parameters and gameplay data cannot be changed at will.

If the permission to make changes at will is given, the entire ecosystem of "Honor of Kings" will be messed up, and the domestic and overseas games will feel like two different games.

Why do many League of Legends players like to play on Korean servers? Isn’t it because Korean servers have faster version updates, lower network latency, and stricter ban mechanisms?

To put it simply, the service is good and you can play better and more advanced versions.

It feels like we are playing two different games at home and abroad.

With this comparison, it goes without saying how smelly the Mafu is and how bad the service is.

Liu Tianxian's translation was halting, but it was okay and she was able to make the ideas clear and understandable.

She didn't dare to be negligent about this matter, as it was just a huge amount of money.

"Oh my God, your conditions are too harsh. In this way, we will be vassals without any autonomy." Claude said.

"You and I are both game developers. We both understand the importance of how game users play games. Maybe Yutu is not as good as your company in developing other types of games, but when it comes to MOBA competitions, your company may not understand design as well as we do."

Liu Tianxian repeated Fang Hong's words.

This passage first puts oneself in the same position as the other party, then compliments the other party, and finally suppresses the other party.

This set of words seemed to say nothing, but it said everything. Claude remained silent.

Liu Tianxian could learn something every time he went out with Fang Hong, and said, "We just want to make this game better and make it an ecological game. You can make money. It's that simple."

"Then your three years of operation time is too short. We have done everything for you in three years and operated the channel well, but you took back the agency rights. Then all our efforts will be in vain." Claude is quite good at using idioms.

"These three years are just for the running-in period. It doesn't mean that we won't cooperate after three years. If you are not satisfied with us, we can part ways in peace. I am satisfied with you, and we will continue to cooperate." Fang Hong said it better than singing.

Liu Tianxian translated it verbatim. This set of words is really exquisite. If you say we can break up, then we can break up. If you say we can cooperate, then we can cooperate. I will listen to you.

In fact, they have the initiative because they have the data.

In fact, three years is just a restriction on the other party. The other party will take 70% of the profit ratio. If they do not operate well in these three years, they will help Yutu build a global gaming ecosystem.

Then take it back and give it to someone else.

You should know that the profit sharing ratio of World of Warcraft is only about 50%. If it is managed well, it will be very profitable.

Fang Hong also wanted to make money in the future. The global revenue of "League of Legends" later reached more than 10 billion US dollars and tens of billions of RMB a year.

Of course, it won’t make much money in the next two years, far less than "Dungeon & Fighter" and "Cross Fire".

But the brand effect and other ecological income it brings, such as advertising, live streaming, copyright, etc., are immeasurable.

Copyright means that you are allowed to broadcast the broadcast if you pay the copyright fee, and you are not allowed to broadcast the broadcast if you don’t pay. This is also content.

Claude paused, feeling that it was very difficult to negotiate with this man. He was always at a disadvantage. He was too talkative and he couldn't refute anything he said.

He argued: "I agree with the parameters, and the service rights are all given to you, but the user data is obtained by our operation, so I can't give it to you."

He wanted to take the initiative and contain the opponent.

If they really lose the agency rights after three years, the user data is in their hands and they can use this as a threat to demand benefits.

"This user data is not yours, but belongs to this game. It should be ours. You make the money, but we cannot own the user data. This does not make sense." Liu Tianxian spread his hands like Fang Hong.

During this negotiation, both parties went back and forth, and Liu Tianxian seemed quite relaxed and took the initiative throughout.

Although her French is not very good, she can express her meaning clearly by speaking slowly.

There's no rush anyway. After communicating with her like this, I feel that her French has improved a lot. She does have a talent for languages.

The negotiations could not finalize the specific matters in a short time, so the three of them found a Western restaurant to eat and chat.

Bringing you closer to each other!
