Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 223 I have never invested in such a cheap project
(Chapter 220: Wild boars cannot eat fine bran. The plot has been greatly changed. If you are interested, you can re-read it.)
Fang Hong and Chen Zhixi talked a lot, and also talked about the company's development and the next film and television production to be shot.

"Lost in Thailand" is a project initiated by Chen Zhixi himself, invested by Yutu, and filmed by Yutu's production team.

It’s just that the casting right was given to Xu Guangtou.

It seems that Chen Zhixi has a good relationship with these new generation directors and stars.

This is also his ability.

"Cold War" is a cooperative project between Yutu and Yindu. Although it was filmed in Hong Kong, it is a movie produced by a mainland company.

It was to get off the path of Hong Kong films, improve production capabilities, and also to promote Zhang Songwen.

In addition, "Chinese Partners" was also to promote Zhang Songwen, who replaced Huang Xiaoming's role. The two were only one year apart in age.

Except for the actress, the rest of the cast has not changed.

Deng Chao had never thought that he would be able to act in Yutu's movie, but he had already stopped associating with Huayi.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have acted in Guangming's films.

Chen Zhixi is still in charge of the film and television industry, and Fang Hong only shoots blockbusters with special effects. For example, "Now You See Me" is a project he led.

The film has a new producer, Han Jianv, and is currently in the early stages of preparation.

These are the movies that Yutu is going to shoot now.

The only TV shows currently being filmed are "My Love from the Stars" and "The Heirs", while "Legend of Lu Zhen" has already been completed and is in post-production.

Chen Sicheng is also in the post-production of "Lucy 1", and Wen Muye will also do the post-production of this film when he is free. After all, they have been following the entire process and they understand what style Fang Hong wants.

The whole company is running busily.

Before the annual meeting, the entire company's adjustment period lasted for four months, and there were still two months left to complete.

After the adjustment, taking the game department as an example, the game is only responsible for planning, development, and operation, while animation and visual effects packages are given to the special effects department.

The animation department has its own business, which is pure. It will not take on any outside business for the time being and will only provide technical support.

That is, the game department does not produce specific content, but submits requirements for what kind of visuals and special effects are needed to the special effects department.

The same goes for art. Find the production art director and propose design requirements.

Of course, you have to go through the accounts, which means you have to pay money. You can't not go through the accounts. Later, you have to operate as an independent company.

Even so, the number of staff in the gaming department did not decrease, but increased instead, reaching more than 200 people. After all, the number of personnel for operations, security, etc. is constantly increasing.

This is for ecological construction, combating cheating, and organizing competitions well.

The number of Fortnite developers is also increasing.

The special effects department needs orders to develop. This department itself has no product content, and it cannot develop rapidly without orders.

The special effects department currently has three sources of orders.

The first is the film and television works produced by Yutu itself; the second is the external business of the American Flower Growers; the third is the game department.

The main focus is on the gaming department, because this department has a large amount of CG to produce, including promotional videos.

"Honor of Kings" and "Fortnite" are enough to sustain the special effects department for a long time, but even if they are full, the business volume is still too little.

We still have to rely on Yutu to make blockbuster movies. "Now You See Me" is the first special effects blockbuster in the true sense.

With an investment of 1.3 million yuan, a good film can bring the current special effects department's technology to a higher level and allow the special effects department to keep up with the pace.

These three types of orders are required to ensure the special effects department is self-sufficient and develops rapidly.

If the special effects department cannot rise, other businesses will be hindered because other businesses need special effects as a backing.

In the past two days, Fang Hong and the Korean game agent NCsoft have reached an agreement on "Heroes of Glory" entering the Korean market.

Singapore agent garena has negotiated to enter the Southeast Asian market.

In other words, the globalization of "Honor of Kings" has been initially completed, and the next step is to see its development.

If it develops well, it will be able to seize the market of "League of Legends".

Recently, the global monthly active users of "Honor of Kings" reached 430 million, and "League of Legends" is still more than double that.

Domestic online sales are also soaring, reaching 66 online users, with revenue of 4820 million in the second quarter, and no revenue growth.

Don’t expect money to come in from overseas for now, it will have to wait until the third quarter!
However, the map design that "League of Legends" was originally scheduled to adjust in May this year has been shelved.

Because the design of this map is too similar to that of "League of Legends", this also led to the loss of their users, and it does not have the sophistication and delicateness of "Honor of Kings".

At the same time, it also alerted Tencent, which began to limit the flow of "Heroes of Glory", that is, it did not allow this game to be promoted on their platform.

It also stepped up its publicity efforts for League of Legends.

It doesn’t matter. The entire Internet is not owned by them, and now we have entered the era of mobile Internet, there are many channels for promotion and marketing.

Forums, BBS, communities, Weibo, magazines, programs, game recommendation websites, live broadcasts, videos, social platforms, and shopping malls are all promotional channels.

Alibaba, Sina, Baidu, Zhuchang, Xiaomi, 360, Huawei...there are big Internet companies everywhere.

Tencent’s games have to use other people’s promotion and distribution channels.

Otherwise, why would there be unpleasantness with Huawei later? Wasn't it just because of the publicity and distribution channels, and Huawei wanted a bigger share.

"Heroes of Glory" is not a mobile game, it just needs promotion.

Unlike games and movies, movie theaters are concentrated in the hands of a few major theater chains.

Game terminals, computers, and mobile phones are in the hands of users.

This is how it is. Competition is inevitable. The pig factory and the goose factory have been competing for decades, but the goose factory has never restricted the pig factory.

Just as Fang Hong was busy with the affairs of various departments of the company and checking the situation of each department.

Three young uninvited guests came to the game department.

"Boom boom boom!"

The three young men seemed a little nervous. They knocked on the glass door and asked the receptionist, "Excuse me, is your supervisor here?"

"Yes, are you here to apply for a job? Fill out the forms first." The young lady took out three forms.

They receive a lot of people like this every day, and it's time to expand.

"No, we are here to see your supervisor. Can you introduce us?" a young man asked. "Can you tell me your names? That's how I can ask." the young lady asked.

"My name is Cai Haoyu, his name is Liu Wei, and his name is Luo Yuhao." Cai Haoyu introduced them one by one.

"Hold on."

The young lady said something and called the head of the game department, Li Min, on the landline: "Boss Li, there are three people who want to see you, one of them is called Cai."

"No!" Li Min interrupted and hung up the phone.

We met without an appointment. How could he have so much time? He was so busy.

Who knows where he came from? I've never heard of him.

The young lady put down the phone and expressed regret to the three of them.

The three young men looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and walked out to the elevator in disappointment.

I can only go to the next one and hope that everything goes well.

They have become accustomed to such things, as they have been rejected dozens of times. Now they are at the end of their rope. If they cannot get more investment, the entire game project will be stopped and they will not be able to afford food.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened, and a young man with his hands in his pockets walked out with his head held high, passing by them.

"gone!"

Cai Haoyu lowered his head and motioned his companions to enter the elevator.

Liu Wei glanced at the young man, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed Cai Haoyu and chased after him.

"What's wrong?" Cai Haoyu looked confused.

"headmaster!"

Liu Wei said hurriedly, Luo Yuhao's face changed and he hurried to follow.

Just as Fang Hong was about to enter the gaming department, he saw three young men hurriedly blocking his way and he stopped in his tracks.

"Principal!" Liu Wei said excitedly.

"You are?"

Fang Hong looked at the young faces of these three people. He didn't know them at all and had no impression of them.

"We are from miHoYo Internet Technology Company, and this is my partner." Cai Haoyu hurriedly introduced.

"Oh!"

Fang Hong understood. He knew it was MiHoYo, but no one knew what the founder of this company looked like.

He asked, "What do you want from me?"

"We have developed a mobile game called "Honkai Gakuen", which is in the style of the second dimension and is specially designed for fans of the second dimension. Mobile games are now a big trend."

Cai Haoyu spoke haltingly and said a lot.

From their games to the market, and from the market to the trends, sweat broke out on his forehead, just because of Fang Hong's indifferent words.

The other two companions looked a little nervous when they saw him.

Cai Haoyu took out a booklet from his bag and said, "This is our plan. Please take a look, Principal."

"No thanks." Fang Hong stretched out his hand to refuse.

This made Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao feel depressed, and they didn't even look at their plan.

Cai Haoyu said anxiously: "Principal, look, there is really something to do."

"I don't understand." Fang Hong shook his head.

Well, failed again! The three were very disappointed.

"I don't understand your plan. Just tell me, does it cost money?" Fang Hong asked.

"Uh yeah."

Cai Haoyu nodded, this was too straightforward.

No communication at all.

"Just tell me, how much do you want?" Fang Hong asked again.

"One million." Cai Haoyu stretched out a finger.

"Too little. I have never invested in such a cheap project." Fang Hong waved his hand.

One million is of no use at all. These three people still need to raise funds, so it is better to get it all at once.

These words made the three of them open their eyes wide in surprise!

Is one million still cheap? Are there people who think the money is too little?

"How about the 10 million?" Cai Haoyu asked tentatively.

"That's not bad." Fang Hong nodded.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. How could someone give money like this? They didn’t even read the plan and just gave them 10 million. They had never seen such a thing in their lives!

"Here is my phone number, keep it. I will have someone contact you later. Ten million US dollars will be deposited into your company account in my personal name. Go ahead and work hard." Fang Hong said and left.

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a long time. Cai Haoyu trembled and said, "If I heard correctly, he just said US dollars, right?"

"It seems so." Liu Wei also heard it.

"a ha ha ha."

The three of them hugged each other and laughed, they were extremely happy.

I originally wanted a few million, but I didn't expect to get 70 million in investment all at once.

This amount of money is enough to make a super large game and also provide you with a good life.

Fang Hong has too much money overseas, so losing 10 million doesn’t matter, and he won’t use Yutu’s money.
