Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 588 Dominate the world
Within a few days, Hua Wei put the version plan for "King of Glory" on Fang Hong's desk.

It didn't take much effort to get it.

This is not a core secret. Version previews are sometimes open to the public to see players' reactions.

Tencent's game operation model is that of an independent studio, where these studios compete with each other, fight for group resources, and have the freedom to independently decide the direction of the game and recruit people.

As long as you can make money, it’s up to you how you do it.

It is a different administrative system from the main body of Tencent itself, perhaps this is also the reason for the corruption in Tencent.

Hua Wei saw the principal opposite him finish reading the plan, then he rested his head on his hands, leaned back in the boss's chair, as if thinking about something.

"In fact, this game was launched in a hurry and is poorly optimized. It often freezes and the phone overheats. Players with poor configurations can't play it at all." He talked about the problems of "King of Glory".

Fang Hong remained silent and did not respond. Low-end players could not play the game, but high-end players could still play it.

And this is not a problem that cannot be overcome. Any game now has this problem. Even the graphics of "Honor of Kings" have been cut and optimized again and again, but there are still players complaining about the poor optimization and lag issues.

The configuration of the phone is just that, you can't ask for too much.

He was wondering how the game "King of Glory" had self-destructed in its previous life, and which gameplay or point had gone wrong, leading to the loss of players.

Think about the impact you have made and whether there will be any butterfly effect on the game. If there is a butterfly effect, get back on track and let the game return to the track of self-destruction.

We need to help Tencent. It's too out of our control to just wait for it to fail.

He thought about it, then picked up the stack of plans and took a look. There were versions that would be updated recently, as well as versions that would be updated in the future.

And we see several key words such as "PVE", "cultivation" and "strengthening".

Cultivation and strengthening are all points for paying for games, and PEV has deviated from the core of MOBA. It seems that this game is still designed to make money.

All Tencent’s games are like this. The KPI set for them by the upper group is based on how much money they make each month and each year.

This is also the reason why Tencent’s game has to be sold off within two months of its launch, in order to recoup its investment quickly.

You expect them to stand from the players' perspective, that's impossible!
"See if you can update and launch these functions as soon as possible." He circled the key words and handed them to Hua Wei.

Hua Wei took it and looked at it, "You can try it."

"Okay then, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let anyone know." Fang Hong said.

This is just going with the flow and accelerating in advance, and it doesn't change anything, so it is still easy to operate.

As long as "King of Glory" is alive, Tencent will always have a product targeting it. If this game dies, even if it is targeted, it will be difficult to find a substitute outside, and players will have no choice.

Soon, "Gravity" has been released for more than a month. After breaking through 30 billion, the domestic box office became sluggish and the final box office was 33.7 billion!
Correspondingly, other movies have seen varying degrees of box office reductions. The box office for "Dragon Blade" was 4.4 million yuan, which is about million yuan less than its previous release.

The box office of "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons" was 1.6 million yuan, which was to million yuan less than the previous life.

"Wolf Totem" had a box office of 2.8 million yuan, which is about to million yuan less than its previous life.

"The Man from Macau 2" grossed 4.86 million yuan, which is almost million yuan less than its predecessor. Unexpectedly, this movie ranked second during the Spring Festival.

It's normal that "Dragon Blade" had a big hit in the first few days, but it was not as stable as "From Vegas to Macau 2" afterwards.

The follow-up of "The Man from Macau 2" is very stable.

Other movies such as "Triumph in the Skies" and "Dad's Holiday" did not break the 100 million mark.

It can be said that in the entire film market, all the other films that were suppressed by "Gravity" did not make much money, and some even lost money.

Those big stars and directors are definitely losing money, as the actors’ and directors’ pay is quite high.

Of course, film and television practitioners have not lost anything. They still get their salaries and remuneration. The ones who lose are the investors.

It can be said that Fang Hong, with his own efforts, has caused the entire film market to be in a state of depression, and even to the point of doing nothing.

There is no way. He is the only one who makes money, while others do not. Correspondingly, future investment expectations will be reduced.

This is the high risk of the film industry. You may work hard for a year or two and earn nothing, or even lose money.

But it doesn’t matter, the big capital will come in and reshuffle the cards.

Even though those film and television companies are losing money, their stock markets are rising.

Huayi’s market value is about to break through 40 billion. Although they are not making money, they own cinemas, so they are making money in disguised form.

iReader makes money from other business games.

Guangguang is about to break through 20 billion. Although Guangguang has no representative works, the Rabbit Piao Piao he invested in was very successful and made the money that others would have earned in several years in one go.

Other film and television companies have all seen increases to varying degrees, which is driven by capital.

The film and television stocks have been in a bull market in the past two years. This is the general trend and cannot be stopped. Fang Hong can only deal with one or two companies.

Recently, there was an article that went viral, published on the online newspaper Movie Interface. The title read: "Huayi's de-filming: It gained economic benefits, but lost its status in the industry!"

This article points out that Huayi has long lost its status as the "number one" in the film business, and its content productivity is far less than before!
Looking back at Huayi’s 21-year development history, it was once the absolute “number one” in the Chinese film market.

But the situation of being the only one in the spotlight was finally broken by Yutu.

In 2014, the 20-year-old Huayi lost its championship position for the first time: the top four private film and television companies that released domestic films at the box office were: Yutu Group, Enlight Media, Bona Film Group, and LeTV Pictures.

Huayi’s film box office revenue only accounts for 5% of the annual box office of domestic films.

Huayi, once known as the "box office myth maker" in the mainland, is now facing much doubt in the increasingly competitive film industry.

The reason is to get rid of the film-like biography and transform into learning how to do big entertainment!

Huayi, which used to have production as its main advantage, could win a great victory by just using the Feng Kuazi and Huayi brands. However, over the years, Huayi has been reforming its distribution business and establishing a local distribution team, but the business team has never kept up with the development of the market, and due to strategic mistakes, the distribution schedule is not good.

Yutu has Tupiaopiao, Wanda has Shiguang.com, Alibaba has Taopiaopiao, Tencent has Weying Times, and LeTV has LeTV.com.

Huayi’s fragility in issuance is becoming increasingly apparent. The company has been in existence for decades, and Mr. Wang and his bosses have decades of experience, but this is not as good as the principal’s five or six years of vision and planning.

The status of “number one” no longer exists!
Although this article does not name who is the top boss, everyone knows it.

The principal has been mentioned many times, and Yutu has been ranked first many times, but the future film market is turbulent, with emerging companies such as Alibaba, Wanda, and LeTV emerging continuously.

No one can say for sure who will be the number one in the future.
In response to this article, Da Wang also came out to explain: "It's not that we won't make movies, but we can't just make movies. Huayi will also try to get rid of the company's dependence on the film industry, promote the development of games and Internet entertainment businesses, transform into big entertainment, and comprehensively develop its own industrial chain."

In other words, it must be resolutely de-filmed. It cannot be supported solely by movies, and the principal does not rely solely on movies.

They have TV, variety shows, and animation!
Variety shows like "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Running Man" are created by others.

Other people in the film industry may not know, but people in this circle know that the risk is too great. If a blockbuster movie does not perform well at the box office, it can easily lead to a crisis.

This time's comprehensive box office failure is the best example. Fortunately, with the influx of capital, the pain was not too severe.

You can't expect every movie to be a big hit. It's good enough if you can break even. It's great if one out of ten movies makes a big profit.

No one is the principal, and no one has the ability like a principal to guarantee that every department will make money.

The influx of capital into the film market has brought about major changes in the film market landscape, and Fang Hong's catalysis has also changed the film market landscape.

Led by Wanda Film and Television Media, the distribution company Wuzhou Alliance, jointly invested by Dadi Times Film Distribution, Jinyi Film and Television Media, and Hengdian Film, has been announced to be established.

This was initiated last year, but it will take some time to set it up and get it going.

Dadi, Jinyi and Hengdian are among the top ten cinema chains in the country. Wanda has integrated the forces of the cinema chain and is trying to take the initiative from the downstream of the industry chain. This is a threat to all film production companies.

Not long after, Huayi also conspired to join forces with Weying Times and Shanghai Film Group to create Huaying World.

Weying Times is a brand of Tencent’s WeChat portal, which is equivalent to a new force in Internet publishing.

Shanghai Film Group owns cinemas and distribution channels, and United Cinemas belongs to them.

The combined efforts of these three companies, together with United Films and Poly Pictures, are equivalent to a distribution company that brings together the upstream, midstream and downstream forces of the film industry.

If we can bring Alibaba's Taopiaopiao into the game, we can say that we will be invincible and will not be inferior to Wanda at all.

But this time Ali did not join in and wanted to do it on his own. Jack Ma was arrogant and in his opinion, these were just a mob.

Of course, it can be said that these parties are all targeting Yutu, because Yutu is the "number one", and if they don't defeat the number one, how can they survive?

Yutu’s life will not be easy in the future.

Because the capital of film scheduling has become more and more involved, if anyone wants to deal with the principal, they will be able to do so with just a few moves in the near future.

Of course, Fang Hong was not idle either. Yutu invested 10 billion yuan and Chang'e invested 10 billion yuan to inject Tupiao Piao to dilute the shares of Meituan, Wanda and Tencent.

And start the road to IPO in Hong Kong!

Tu Piaopiao has been established for more than three years and is now ready for listing, and has been preparing for the listing.

This money is used to resist the increasingly fierce market competition and continue to burn money. After all, Alibaba has failed.

Chang'e can give it slowly, 100 million a month is fine, and Yutu's money can be used to make up for it first. Another purpose is to dilute the shares of those three companies and gain absolute control over the discourse!

Subsequently, Yutu, Chang'e Technology, Tupiaopiao, and Crystal United Imaging jointly established a distribution company: Xiongba Tianxia.

The announcement is aimed at opening up the entire industry chain, including online, offline, production and distribution, and is not targeted at any third party.

This series of actions have been reported on the financial website, and people in the film industry are also aware of it.

But people know that saying it is not targeting any third party is obviously a flex of muscle, just like when there is a conflict between countries, they have to fire missiles into the Pacific Ocean to let everyone see the power and tell them not to mess with them.

Mr. Wang was very surprised: "Isn't this a random name?"

"I guess it's just to scare people. It's his company anyway, so it doesn't matter if he does anything else." Da Wang always felt that the principal was targeting him on purpose.

When they form a combination, they are all different entities. Having such an alliance makes it easier to distribute benefits and connect resources.

There's no point in connecting the principal's resources, they all belong to him, why not just connect them? This is just a prank, to disgust them and say that I want to do it too.

Mr. Wang has also noticed the recent movements of Jade Rabbit and said to Zeng Maojun: "Isn't this pure nonsense?"

"The principal is declaring war on you!" Zeng Maojun was unhappy with the boy.

"This kid is done pretending and is showing his cards now." Mr. Wang can see it clearly.

He thought that this guy was very arrogant at the beginning, but they had not yet completely entered the film and television industry at that time, and the authorities had not yet liberalized the capital in the film and television industry, so it was difficult to move.

But it’s hard to say about the future. From now on, we will have to rely on real skills and do it with real swords and guns.

Alibaba has also responded, saying that they have simply increased the scale of spending and accelerated the pace of acquisitions, without saying too much nonsense.

Jack Ma only talks a lot of nonsense on stage, he doesn't say much off stage.

The same goes for Tencent, except that they are more low-key. After all, they are introverted and slow, as if they can't react.

But that doesn't mean they have stopped. They are also constantly getting involved in the film and television industry, increasing investment in Tencent Video and importing more films.

For example, Tencent has obtained the distribution rights for "Warcraft", "Wonder Woman", "King Kong" and so on.
