The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 262 Hoho, the boss said he doesn't understand games

It is hard to say whether the five major players have gotten ridicule in the game industry, but they must have gotten Dunhuang’s “daily gold-making battle” in the game.

——The most intuitive consequence of "Praise" by "Electronic Games" is that many gamers who have not watched movies have also noticed the game "Resident Evil", which has suddenly increased its sales.

If film and television companies may not understand games, but they understand peripherals; as long as they regard games as peripheral products, their DNA will move.

The game is a "peripheral product" that can provide cash flow, and it looks so delicious!

This is much more refreshing than the box office revenue!

You should know that even in the local area, only about 1/3 of the box office revenue can be put into the producer's pocket, and most of the others will be eaten by other parts of the industrial chain such as theaters.

If it is an overseas market, this proportion will be further reduced.

What's more, the producers scored a large part of the box office revenue they received and went out to the director, starring and other investors.

——It can be said that if the box office revenue of Chinese entertainment movies is not a big hit movie, it generally cannot bring too much profit to the producers.

After all, there are too many people who want to divide this cake.

"But this requires careful polishing, and the production cycle may not keep up with the pace of the movie's release..."

So, not to mention the small companies that can only watch the fun, but also the film and television companies that are capable of getting a share of the pie, all of them plan.

In particular, Dunhuang's gamification model seems to be more likely to be dominated by film and television companies than the previous more common game film and television model.

That’s right, Wang Wei’s method of dealing with poaching this time is so simple and crude - I kept them so busy that they didn’t even have time to deal with poachers, so how could they be poached!

In response to this, Gu Jinguang just wanted to wail: At this time, he didn't want to have a boss who understands games at all!

——Although Wang Wei has always thought that he doesn’t understand games very much.

"The game will be released at that time, and the third movie can be preheated... It is not necessary to be launched at the same time to be considered a linkage between movies and games!"

Gu Jinguang did not forget this game's original intention of exploring the "film and game linkage" strategy.

After all, according to his previous work experience in the gaming industry, the game department only needs to maintain the already listed games and slowly prepare subsequent expansion packs.

But the bug of Time Traveler is that you can make a lot of useful suggestions based on your understanding of future game development trends.

"There are enough screenwriters in Dunhuang." Wang Wei easily dumped his job.

"I know that your game department is quite idle recently, so I've been paddling; I also know that someone outside is preparing to dig you, so people's hearts are a little fluctuating; so, you can start me with a new project "Resident Evil 2" now!"

Originally, after the release of the game version of "Resident Evil", Gu Jinguang habitually felt that he could suck for a while.

The content of the notice is very friendly, but Gu Jinguang translated it himself, but the actual meaning is-

This is also the reason why the proportion of peripheral revenue in the film and television industry has become increasingly high over the years.

However, in the past, the "peripheral products" such as games obviously did not have much reward for film and television companies, so although everyone knows that the profit margins in this industry are not low, few people have invested seriously;

Today, the mentality of the film industry is changing, just like the mentality of the gaming industry is changing.

“…”

Moreover, in the scenes of interacting with the enemy, the design of the big boss, the tense fighting rhythm and atmosphere rendering, he put forward a lot of innovative ideas, which made Gu Jinguang very refreshing!

——Well, if there are "old players" from another time and space here, you will understand that Wang Wei's ideas all come from a generation of classic works, and "Biochemistry 4", which has a significant influence on many TPS games!

This is also the "Biochemistry" series of games that impressed Wang Wei the most.

As for what to do if this game becomes popular in the future, what should I do if I release a subsequent series?

Let’s talk about it when it’s popular!

If you take a bigger step, you will want to get it done in one step and learn from Dunhuang to form your own exclusive game development team;

As for game development talents familiar with the film and television industry, where can I find them?

At least, in the face of the five leading film and television companies and some leading companies in the game industry, Gu Jinguang sneered—

However, not long after, he received a notice from Wang Wei.

However, this time, both Dunhuang and Weibo Technology have already responded.

Wang Wei touched his chin and agreed to his request.

In Gu Jinguang's view, due to the compromise on hardware, consideration of development cycles, and technical immaturity... "Biochemistry 1" is just his test work.

They had already thought about it—

"...I'm just thinking about so much for the time being. Well, I don't understand the game production very much. You guys should consider it."

Those who have taken a little less step are just planning to entrust game developers to develop linkage games for themselves with popular film and television works;

Of course, if the producer and publisher are the same, the situation will be slightly better.

Biochemistry 1 is not a classic game, although it has won many praises from professionals.

He was not a veteran gamer before traveling through time, and although he had played many games, he was an amateur after all.

——Unlike authorized development, commissioned development, it can be said that all the requirements for games are determined by film and television companies, and game developers only earn OEM money.

Do you really think every boss is Wang Wei?

Following such a boss, it’s a bit hard to deal with, but for anyone who loves games, the progress will be quite obvious after a few years of training;

More importantly, there is too much chance of making classic games.

...

Gu Jinguang didn't know that there was a word called "there are too many troughs and no mouths", but his mood at this moment undoubtedly corresponded perfectly -

Wang Wei finally explained.

However, no matter how much you complain, it is definitely not a bad thing for the boss to have "true insights" about the game.

However, "Biochemistry 2" proposed by Wang Wei is very promising to achieve classic works.

"It doesn't matter. After the linkage between the first movie and the game, the popularity has become increasingly popular. As long as the game "Biochemistry 2" can be released in the middle of the release of the second and third movies, it can borrow the power of the movie series;"

"Okay, but this way, the requirements for plot design are higher." Gu Jinguang thought.

"Recruiting people? Well, it should be that Dunhuang has more and more big IPs, and there will inevitably be more and more game projects to be launched. It is time to recruit more people."

Poaching people!

Isn’t it said that the Dunhuang Consortium “can’t defeat it from the outside”? Then start from the inside and dig from the project team that developed the Resident Evil game. If it goes well, it would be even better if the entire team digs together.

"Damn, if you don't understand this very well, then what are we? Is it kindergarten level?"

Of course, on the surface, their work is still relatively busy - the key point of catching fish together in the entire department is to effectively divide the work and let everyone in the department do a little, so that everyone has something to do, but everyone’s workload is not saturated.

Wang Wei didn't think about eating a fat man in one bite, and waved his hand,

Of course, film and television companies must prepare some game designers in order to improve development requirements and conduct final inspections at the same time.

——No gamer doesn’t want to participate in creating a classic game!

After being easily approved to expand the game department, Gu Jinguang couldn't help but sigh.

"I always feel that if this continues, the game development work will occupy half of the technology business of Dunhuang and Weibo!"

For example, for the game "Biochemistry 2", Wang Wei suggested drastic overturning the style of "Biochemistry 1" and adding a shoulder-length perspective, allowing players to freely aim and shoot, completely subverting the fixed-eye gameplay of the previous work;

"Not only the screenwriter, but the game department also needs to recruit more people." Gu Jinguang took the opportunity to make a request.

Wang Wei smiled but said nothing about this.

——This is really a possibility! After all, there is an Antarctic Bio with a market value of trillions of yuan in that world, and it really relies on the game business to support half of the world!

Who said that Dunhuang-Weibo Technology Consortium will become the largest game operator in the future?
