Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Based on the player's task completion status and the event details, the player needs to edit their own speech.

They also need to answer questions from reporters.

Choosing the right option will increase public support and boost funding.

Choosing the wrong option could lead to public skepticism about the aviation industry.

Therefore, externally, players need to explore space, and internally, they also need to obtain official support.

It also contains many Easter eggs from real aviation history.

These are all part of the decision-making system.

Of course, apart from these.

The game "Look Up" explores space, but it is not primarily a science-related game.

Although at the beginning, the new player missions, including landing on the moon, seemed a bit like a science simulation management game.

Available soon.

Players land on a fictional planet and discover signs of civilization.

The game will suddenly become very interesting.

This is interesting, but it's not hard to understand.

In today's world, what would happen if it were suddenly confirmed that a civilization once existed on Mars?

Therefore, after completing the beginner tasks...

After players become familiar with the system.

This game will become an exploration system similar to "Our War" or "60 Seconds," where players can set the target for each rocket and the personnel and supplies carried by each rocket.

Correspondingly, there were the supplies and personnel they carried.

These rockets will also bring back different things and feedback for the players.

In other words, every time a rocket launches...

All of these correspond to new available items and storylines.

"We could try making a single-player game."

"This theme feels a bit thin if it's used to make a long-term game."

Su Shanshan listened to it briefly.

It was still a bit unclear, but she roughly figured out that Lin Li wanted to make a game with the scale of an independent game, just more refined.

"Indeed, but the specific details still need to be refined."

"This game relies too much on its writing. The writing must be able to describe an interesting extraterrestrial civilization in order to give players the fun of exploration."

Lin Li nodded in agreement with Su Shanshan's statement.

He then put away his phone and turned off the recording.

"Alright, get ready. We still need to go to the capital. Let's put the new ideas aside for now; the Wandering Earth project is imminent."

Chapter 178 Movie? Can Spark Work?

We're heading to the capital.

There are many things to do, and I need to meet with the leaders I need to see.

Report what needs to be reported, and complain when you need to complain.

However, compared to these "important matters"

What Lin Li was actually more concerned about was a "side story".

Two more months.

The movie "The Wandering Earth" is about to be released, and he has been in communication with the distributor of "The Wandering Earth" for a long time to secure the overseas distribution rights for "The Wandering Earth" and subsequent films.

We've finally entered the final stage of finalizing the decision.

China Film Co., Ltd.

meeting room.

"Mr. Lin? You really want to buy the overseas distribution rights?"

The president of China Huadian Corporation asked a question with considerable surprise.

Regarding Lin Li's arrival.

To be honest, Huadian was somewhat surprised.

Even though Xinghuo had actually proposed the need to purchase the global distribution rights of The Wandering Earth a long time ago and had made many preparations.

They even offered a price of 1000 million.

However, even today,

Almost everyone at Huadian thought Lin Li was joking.

On the one hand, this is because the global distribution of the film is, if not closely related to, Spark's main business, at least completely unrelated.

Secondly, I felt that the money offered by Xinghuo was neither high nor low.

It's only 1000 million, yet Huadian is asking them to sell the copyrights to The Wandering Earth and The Future together.

This is somewhat of a slight underestimation of China North Electric Power.

Although China Huadian Corporation's internal assessment suggests that they might not earn as much even if they handled global distribution themselves.

However, this did not change the fact that Huadian executives felt that Xinghuo was completely insincere.

Of course, let's put money aside for now.

Ultimately, Huadian doesn't believe Xinghuo is capable of doing this.

Therefore, everyone felt that the suggestion was just a whim.

however.

Lin Li walked into the conference room of Huadian with a smile.

The people at China Huadian Corporation realized this.

Is Xinghuo serious this time?

"Mr. Lin, you may not understand, but film distribution is a highly professional field. International distribution, for example, involves many intricacies and cannot be solved simply by having money."

A vice president of China Huadian Corporation explained to Lin Li why they had not pushed forward with the global distribution of the Spark program.

Although he tried to be restrained, a hint of contempt would still occasionally slip through his lips.

"Yes, if we had money, we could solve the global issuance problem. Our Huadian has plenty of funds. Mr. Lin, please don't be impulsive."

Another senior executive from China Huadian Corporation echoed this sentiment.

Although their words sounded somewhat harsh to the employees at Xinghuo who had come with Lin Li.

But there is some truth to it.

A simultaneous global release—these simple words are something that seems unattainable for Chinese films.

Generally, this kind of promotion is only used when major overseas films are released in the domestic market.

Chinese films want to achieve global distribution and promotion.

It's not just difficult, it's extremely difficult.

Historically, it wasn't until "The Wandering Earth 2" that the production team of "The Wandering Earth" conducted a simultaneous global release.

Moreover, the scale is not very large.

The reason.

It's because there are no international buyers.

The film industry is an extremely collaborative industry.

China, Japan, the United States, and Europe.

Each region has its own small groups.

Only a few major film distributors, such as 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Columbia, Universal, and Sony, have extensive global distribution networks that can ensure their films are released worldwide.

China Huadian Corporation is one of the top power distributors in the country.

But overseas? You could say they're nothing special.

Therefore, if Chinese films want to go global, they need to find overseas distributors. However, finding overseas distributors is not something you can just do whenever you want.

Chinese films themselves don't have much market presence overseas.

Furthermore, at this time, The Wandering Earth was still an IP that had not yet demonstrated any commercial value.

Naturally, nobody paid them any attention.

Given this reality, when people from China Huadian Corporation heard that Xinghuo wanted to distribute the global rights to The Wandering Earth...

That feeling is basically the same as people in the gaming industry saying they want to make a world-class AAA game in China.

It is tantamount to a fantasy.

But when a person can't do it on their own.

They all have this peculiar mindset: if I can't do it, no one else can either.

This is especially true for those who hold senior management positions in large companies.

In other words.

Even China Huadian can't find an overseas distributor, how can Xinghuo do it?

Stop joking, bro.

Besides, what does China Huadian do? I'm in film distribution myself, so why should I give the global distribution rights to Xinghuo?

Based on this understanding, the executives of China Huadian Corporation appeared outwardly respectful and offered suggestions at the meeting, but in reality, they felt that Lin Li's ideas were somewhat far-fetched.

Don't talk about other people.

Even the president of China Huadian Corporation.

Han Qingping felt that Lin Li really shouldn't have come this time.

What did this make him say?

To say Lin Li is delusional? To say he's ungrateful?

The logic behind these words is as follows.

It's really hard to say.

Xinghuo is now a giant with annual revenue of tens of billions, and Huadian also has connections with the State Administration of Press and Publication, so it knows that Xinghuo has been receiving a lot of attention recently.

Therefore, although the president of China Huadian Corporation felt awkward, he smiled and said something.

"It's not that we don't want to sell it to you, but we're afraid that you won't be able to use it after you buy it, which would be a waste. Alright, Xiao Wu, go and book a table at the restaurant across the street."

"It's not easy for Mr. Lin to come all this way, so as his host, I must give him a proper welcome today."

The meeting began with everyone sitting down.

The president of China Huadian Corporation made this polite remark when inviting people to dinner.

It took less than ten minutes in total.

It's clear that Huadian, from top to bottom, didn't take this matter seriously.

Lin Li almost burst out laughing.

That's why he came here in person today.

Even when he comes by himself, it's always the same.

If you were to let your subordinates do it.
