Game Entertainment Empire

Xu Yu was obviously very excited about Yang Chen's proposal, and he had already made plans for it, or in other words, he had already arranged these in the grand development plan of Nebula Games.

"I have some contacts in this area, and we can quickly build a team, but I think we need to think carefully about the initial investment, such as "Warcraft" and "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and other big IPs that involve magic needs I don't think we should think about the many special effects in the short term." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.

"A moderate game IP is not like "Resident Evil" and "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim". The cost is not too high. We need to prove one thing. Take part of the cake."

Yang Chen nodded. He didn't understand these things very well before, but now he clearly understands them.

There is still a gap between film and television and games. As long as a game is fun enough, it will shine its own light under the word of mouth of players through official channels. Even if the light comes slowly, it still has light and can Bring some warmth to the creators.

But movies are different. For example, the most basic theater chain is a major vital gate, not to mention other elements.

Just like some companies looking for investors, what they care about sometimes is not how much money those investors can invest in them, but what kind of help those investors can bring to them.

"Although "Escape" is a niche horror movie, it is not a relatively important IP, and the production cost does not need to involve too many scenes and special effects." Xu Yu said methodically with a smile.

He has already thought about all this, and he even has an idea of ​​how to set up a film shooting company.

"Compared to "Escape", I think my next game may be a better choice." Yang Chen thought of something, took a sip of coffee next to him, and smiled: "It's also a game. Horror games, and movies, games, and VR experiences, wouldn’t it be better to go online together?”

Of course, Yang Chen didn't think of such things as movie and game linkage at first. He just wanted to make a horror game for cute players.

After all, after experiencing the painful torture of "Leaping King", "Digging for Ascension" and "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", players almost need some special elements to soothe their spiritual wounds.

For example, in Lin Jiayi's "Prototype", Yang Chen didn't pay too much attention to the plot and the name of the game.

As for whether it will be different from the memory of the dream?

This is not important, because as long as you grasp a few core points such as refreshing, a little rebellious element, and a handsome protagonist, and give him the title of sister control by the way, these external factors attract players, plus Lin Jiayi It's a sand table mowing game, not to mention creating a big IP, but at least it's not a problem to be popular for a while.

In this way, the players who have endured the pain can release the aggrievedness and anger in their hearts through Lin Jiayi's "Prototype of Massacre", and then enjoy a story that is exciting enough and can bring spiritual cleansing Isn't this a good choice?

So I looked at all kinds of players on the Internet who spread their emojis and said that everything was Yang Chen's conspiracy.

He decisively determined another project besides "My World", and it was precisely because of this project that he had the idea of ​​whether to make a movie.

"silent Hill"

Xu Yu didn't say anything about Yang Chen making a horror game, because Yang Chen was more professional than him in games, and he was more professional than Yang Chen in other aspects.

Moreover, the situation of horror games is relatively small, and the sales of "Escape" were not so good at the beginning. Instead, they learned the lesson in "Resident Evil" later, and in "Resident Evil 2", Lin In the series of games that Jiayi took over, the original horror elements were weakened again, and the action elements were added and the character design was emphasized.

That is, the market for pure horror games is really too small.

Many players like horror games, but they dare not try, and if they dare not try, there is no need to buy them.

Under such circumstances, Yang Chen chose to make a horror game. Xu Yu felt that Yang Chen had thought about it and was confident in his own game design ability!

Of course, I'm afraid Xu Yu never thought that Yang Chen just wanted to give the players a surprise, a surprise.

After all, on the one hand, the development of "Minecraft", a very rich game, is not a big problem in terms of profitability, not to mention that "Silent Hill" itself is also a very good game.

"This is naturally the best. For the first work, we need to prove that we are capable, and we can accept foreign capital from the second work." Xu Yu nodded towards Yang Chen, but thought of something: " Of course, the premise is that it is not that difficult to adapt a game into a movie, if it involves a lot of places that need to use special effects, then forget it.”

It is not impossible to do special effects in China. Although it is not the top industrial level in foreign countries, it is still first-class.

But special effects are a waste of money.

The first water test, if Yang Chen really planned to spend tens of millions of dollars, then Xu Yu would definitely express strong opposition.

Hearing Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen smiled happily: "Don't worry, "Silent Hill" doesn't have too many special effects, except that some scene transitions and special battle modes may require special effects, most of them are not needed. , and even the monsters inside can be replaced by real-life models and props.”

…………

Two days later, Xu Yu, who had finished talking with Yang Chen that day, sent a manager's information to Yang Chen.

For the new company, it is natural to find a person in charge. After all, Xu Yu is currently in charge of Nebula Games and has other matters at the same time. It would be too much for him to be in charge of a film and television company.

But after all, he used to be in the entertainment circle, and he also had a lot of fame, and Xu Yu had a lot of connections.

Everything went very smoothly, Yang Chen smiled happily at this kind of news.

Not only the two games and movies that are about to be developed, but more importantly, he has already imagined in his mind the surprise expressions of players who will experience his carefully crafted games in the future.

On the other side, the players of the online Nebula game also laughed happily. After all, the benefits of this wave of Nebula games are really good.

Who can afford all kinds of discounts!

Are you still human if you don’t buy it?

Although "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is a bit difficult, I have to say that it is definitely a fun game, especially after getting started, the sound of "dang dang dang" can't stop at all.

Even under the lure of discounts, some players who had refunded their money secretly bought the game back one after another.

At the same time, the employees of Nebula Games are also very happy. Because of the benefits, players buy enough games and bring more profits to Nebula Games. For example, the top eight games on the official game platform are all Nebula games. , in this case, there are naturally bonuses.

Although it is not comparable to the dividend bonus after the completion of the project, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it is still meat.

But under the happy smiles of everyone, the original "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" project team in Nebula Games, or a few old employees in the project team, are not very happy, and you can even say that they are afraid.

At the grid desk, Wang Ye, Chen Shu and the others looked at the messages from Yang Chen's private chat on the mobile phone, and they all recalled something bad, and their faces were pale.

"Sister Shu? Your complexion is a bit unwell, are you uncomfortable?" Next to Chen Shu, an original painting designer who just joined the job not long ago looked at Chen Shu with some concern.

Hearing this, several artists nearby who had just finished their work at hand also gathered around, and Chen Shu, who was their chief planner on weekdays, was still very popular.

"It's okay, Mr. Yang will take us out for inspiration next week. By the way, do you usually go to haunted houses?" Chen Shu silently turned off her phone.

"I've always wanted to go, but I dare not go!" "No." "No, the haunted house is so scary!" A group of girls said in one go.

She didn't speak, but Chen Shu looked at them with pity.
