Tokyo Video Game Tycoon
Chapter 288 This is Inside Information
After a whole night of research and investigation, he finally found clues in countless materials.
This time, Detroit Films abandoned several previous film and television special effects partners, and signed a new cooperation agreement with a game company.
Of course, the specific content of this cooperation agreement cannot be disclosed, but it still roughly explains that Detroit Films bought a ten-year special effects software license in one go, as well as supporting recommended hardware systems.
This software is called Unreal Engine, and the game company that developed this engine is Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment...
This name is so familiar.
Hunter frowned, then recalled it carefully.
Finally he found the name in the memory deep in his mind.
That was the company that his old rival Tukarev made a high-profile publicity and announced an in-depth strategic cooperation with this game.
It is very puzzling for a company that dominates the game industry to suddenly enter the film and television special effects industry. At that time, many people, including Hunter, expressed their disapproval of this cooperation.
Hunter also specifically stated in an interview program that he was willing to acquire the other party after Tukarev failed this time, and he was willing to help Tukarev tide over the difficulties.
Later, Tukarev fought with him directly through the media.
Both parties are the bosses of film and television companies, but they are unambiguous when they are torn apart.
They scolded and fought for several days, and finally ended with a bet between the two parties.
If Tukarev's total box office revenue exceeds 300 million US dollars, Hunter and several other film and television company owners will apologize to Tukarev in person.
And if the box office of Xinghai Unlimited does not reach 300 million U.S. dollars, then Tukarev will take the initiative to disband the company and never enter the film and television industry again.
Hunter didn't care much then.
The cost was far lower than the average special effects level of blockbuster sci-fi movies at the time, and the company responsible for the production of special effects was still a cross-border company. No matter how you look at it, this lineup has no possibility of failure.
But at this moment, he vaguely felt something was wrong.
Could it be that guy Tukarev really picked up the treasure?
This Yuxing Electronic Entertainment now looks like a pretty capable guy, not that kind of idiot.
If this Unreal Engine is really developed by them, and they can really help Detroit Films save a lot of special effects expenses, then it is really possible for him to overturn...
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still.
Fortunately, Detroit Films had a good relationship with him in the past, and he quickly called an old acquaintance in Detroit Films.
He needs one final check.
Then, he got the inside news that the cost was indeed 80 million US dollars, and the biggest contributor was indeed Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
In one fell swoop, Youxing Electronic Entertainment reduced the original special effects cost of at least 100 million US dollars by half, and the quality is still very good.
Under such cost control, the film only needs less than 200 million US dollars to recover its cost, and then make a lot of money.
The old acquaintance from Detroit on the phone proudly showed him off, and also suggested that Hunter also buy an Unreal Engine, which is definitely a money-saving tool!
After hanging up the phone, Hunter was silent for a while.
He suddenly felt that there had been uncertainties in the bet with Tukarev.
But he still couldn't believe it.
But it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not.
Days after its release at Detroit Pictures, word-of-mouth for the film started to grow.
And there is also the Unreal Engine logo in the LOGO at the beginning of the movie.
The big U-shaped logo also entered the sight of people in this world for the first time, and began to leave a place in people's hearts.
A few days later, with the investment of Dream Prius, the well-known director Green is in charge, and with the blessing of new special effects, the first movie trailer of Xinghai Infinity is officially announced.
This is a trailer of about one minute and thirty seconds.
In the trailer, a graceful spaceship breaks through a layer of nebula and comes into people's sight accompanied by magnificent music.
The huge spaceship flies past in front of the camera. When the spaceship approaches the camera, the faint engine rumbling sound is very refreshing.
Immediately afterwards, many small spaceships flew out of the nebula at the rear, and at the same time, many artillery ammunition crazily shot at the beautiful spaceship at the front.
This is a big battle in the star sea.
For one minute and thirty seconds, there aren't any main characters, and there's just a show-off of special effects.
The main character just yelled in the background of the screen such as: fire! dodge! Steer left... something like that.
The atmosphere of the entire trailer is full, and the special effects are impeccable.
After the trailer ended, the U-shaped LOGO that had just appeared at the beginning of the Detroit superhero movie appeared again.
Unreal Engine, achieving a new era in illusion and reality.
The trailer is over.
One minute and thirty seconds, almost no frame wasted, and the magnificent battle in the star sea was vividly reflected.
Maybe there are more or less flaws in it, but it is enough to feast the eyes of ordinary viewers who are not picky.
Just this preview is enough for most audiences to prepare to enter the cinema to enjoy it once.
Unlike the Detroit superhero movies, there will be more special effects scenes this time around.
After all, one of them just needs to show the special effects of superheroes, emphasizing the rendering of individual heroes.
And Xinghai Unlimited has special effects almost from the beginning to the end, which already indicates that the cost is not low.
And if the special effects of the whole film are as good as the one-minute preview, then this year's best special effects award will definitely belong to it.
In the future, we will save costs and spend more money on special effects. The actors in this film are all new actors who have just been discovered by director Green. The special effects are not bad either.
After the trailer was broadcast, the Internet couldn't hold back anymore, and heated discussions began.
Those netizens who said they were not optimistic before changed their tune, the Internet has no memory, they all chose to ignore what they said before, and started to praise the movie instead.
"I swear, this is the movie I am most looking forward to this year. If the finished movie is really as exciting as this one-minute preview, I will give it full marks!"
"Me too! I'm a veteran sci-fi fan, and I can't resist the temptation of this kind of special effects. I'm afraid the investment in special effects this time is unprecedented, right? Do you think it has exceeded 200 million dollars?"
"Hehe, the guy above, let me tell you a secret. The total cost of this movie may be at most 100 million US dollars. Don't ask me how I know, I'll tell you this is inside information."
