Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

While Zhu Youxing was tracking the production of special effects, he was also controlling the progress of the game development.

In addition to several teams that are developing Final Fantasy 7, several other teams continue to release their games step by step.

Of course, Zhuyouxing no longer has to control the works they produce.

He just needs to control the overall quality of the final game.

This time is also the best opportunity for them to develop their respective game development skills.

During this period, one or two talents with good game development capabilities have also emerged, and they have already emerged, and have begun to gain a certain reputation in the industry.

However, under the halo of Zhu Youxing, they still looked a little dim.

But this also happens to be an umbrella to protect their growth. They will not be disturbed by the outside world in the process of developing games, and they can spend money to create their favorite game world. This is also a very happy thing for them. matter.

When October 1997 rolled around, a special-effects film from Detroit Pictures was released on schedule.

This movie tells the story of a young man living in New York, USA, who grows into a hero.

There are also systematic superhero IPs in this world, and the stories of these superheroes are not much different from the superhero comics in the previous life, and Detroit Films just happens to own some of the copyrights.

Since they had just obtained Unreal Engine, a powerful tool to reduce the cost of special effects, they immediately applied this software to their superhero movie.

The total production cost of the film was reduced to almost 80 million US dollars under a good production management system, and then it was officially released in October with the support of the fan base.

The finished film is generally a Hollywood-style popcorn movie. The scenes are exciting enough to make people linger. This is a qualified superhero movie and has been well received.

For the audience, as long as the movie is refreshing enough, they can spend a happy weekend with it.

But for people in the film and television industry, it has a different meaning.

Hunter is the director of a film and television company, and he is also a person who likes watching movies. He has been fond of watching movies since he was a child, so he established a film production company through his continuous efforts.

Every time a new movie with a certain reputation is released, he will watch it immediately, regardless of whether the movie is produced by a rival or not.

If this is placed in Huaxia, it is probably equivalent to a typical example of knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and winning a hundred battles.

When he finished watching the superhero movie made by Detroit Pictures and walked out of the theater, he still had something to say.

The special effects of this movie are very good. Although it is not a perfect score, it is close to nine points.

The depth of the plot is also good, and the script is obviously well polished.

Under such conditions, the film will definitely be very successful, and the box office should not be too bad.

It is estimated that the special effects production of this movie will cost at least 100 million US dollars. If the cost is properly controlled, the total production cost of 140 million US dollars is a reasonable range.

He took out his mobile phone casually, and began to check the information on the mobile phone through the Internet.

Recently, the new technology of mobile phone access to the Internet has become popular in the United States. You only need to bring a smart phone to enter the world's Internet ocean. He thinks this is a very fashionable thing, and his People at the top level are not short of money at all, even if the price of mobile Internet is higher now, he doesn't care at all.

Accessing the news network through his mobile phone, he quickly found information related to the movie.

Detroit Films announced the release date of its superhero movie, and sincerely invites fans to enjoy it, promising that watching this movie is definitely worth the money.

He skimmed over these slobbers, and then found the content he cared most about in the news.

According to interviews with reporters from this media, the overall budget of the film was well controlled within the range of 80 million US dollars, including the entire production cost of the film and television, excluding the publicity and distribution of the film and television.

"impossible!"

Suddenly, Hunter lost his composure and yelled on the street.

This immediately caused many people to turn their heads and stop, looking at Hunter strangely.

Hunter also reacted, quickly left the place, walked to his car and entered the car, and then he immediately took out his mobile phone to confirm the information again.

Tens of millions...

Eighty million dollars is right. It is impossible to make a film with a production cost of eighty million dollars. So far, no company is stupid enough to spend so much money to make a movie.

But how is this done?

How could that special effect be produced with a total cost of 80 million?

That's not a full-score special effect, and there are still some flaws, but it's enough for the audience watching the movie.

Hollywood is a place that pays attention to cost control, and any Hollywood film and television company is quite stingy in controlling costs.

Even if you can save tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands more, you will work hard to save.

It is their dream to make blockbuster movies with the least amount of money.

At this moment, Hunter couldn't help himself, he dialed a number.

"Hey, now prepare me all the materials related to the new superhero movie released by Detroit Films, and I will go back to the company to watch it now."

Hunter still didn't quite believe the cost control price, so he decided to go back to the company to have a look.

Maybe that media company didn't investigate the truth, and couldn't just listen to the news reports of this one media.

Back at the company, the employees who temporarily worked overtime on weekends were obviously very upset, but they couldn't disobey the boss's order, so they organized all the materials and put them on Hunter's desk as soon as possible.

When he entered his office, a stack of documents had been prepared, and he immediately picked them up one by one to check.

These materials range from purchasing information of some related industries to on-site interviews of some major media, all of which are here.

As the boss of a film and television company, he is very competent. He is not the kind of guy who only knows how to make money and have fun. Only in this way can he have a place in the highly competitive film and television market in the United States.

In this world, the development of the cultural industry is very strong. Except for the game industry, the competition in other cultural industries is extremely fierce. It is not easy to make money by lying flat, and the audience will not easily buy it.

He read the pile of materials in front of Hunter from noon until after ten o'clock in the evening, and finally read them all.

And when he finished watching them all, he was still a little dazed.

Really... just a total cost of $80 million... that's unbelievable.
