Chapter 499 Capital is the most ruthless (210)

498

Capital is the most ruthless, and it will not be shaken by some emotional problems.

As long as the interests are maximized, even if you sell your soul, you will not hesitate.

As a top film and television company, Detroit Film Group is also a top business group.

When Ueto Hayakawa realized the value of the Unreal Engine, he resolutely ignored the competitive relationship with Takeyoshi, and took the initiative to contact Takeyoshi for the authorization of the engine.

Zhu Yuxing also agreed to the authorization very generously, but because of competition, the asking price was much higher than others. Ueto Hayakawa also recognized this, as long as the things are good enough.

Detroit Films also packaged and purchased the license for film special effects production, and many films are now using Unreal Engine.

The characteristic of special effects produced by Unreal Engine is that if compared with other special effects production systems and software, the same 90% special effects, Unreal Engine can save more than 30% of the cost.

Of course, if you want the quality of special effects to reach 100%, the cost will still be high, which can be regarded as a weakness.

But in fact, the average audience simply doesn't have time to distinguish between ninety percent and one hundred percent special effects.

The film cuts so quickly that only a nitpicker would care, but that kind of person is unlikely to contribute more money to the company.

This also makes Detroit Films increasingly rely on this special effects software.

It's just that although they are very dependent on this special effects software, Detroit Films also does not forget to help the head office to suppress Youxing Electronic Entertainment by the way. This is not a conflict.

Moreover, Detroit Films is standing behind the scenes. Although they secretly instructed Alfonso and other filmmakers to boycott the works of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, they can continue to use Youxing Electronic Entertainment's products while remaining calm. No one dares to say What.

Alfonso felt that he was really fooled.

This made him feel slightly regretful now.

But it doesn't make much sense to regret it now, and it is impossible for the works he invested to switch to Unreal Engine to develop movies at this time, so if this is the case, just go all the way to the black.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "I will invest some more money, about another 30 million US dollars. Can you raise the quality of the special effects to another level?"

"This is of course no problem. It is possible to achieve a quality of about 95 percent."

"Then do it." Alfonso made a decision directly, and then began to inject funds into the special effects production team with great distress.

This is all real money, but there is no other good way now.

This is his ambitious work over the years. There is nothing wrong with the quality of the movie itself. As long as this kind of movie is released, then if there are no accidents, it should at least be able to protect its capital.

However, at this moment, he is a little obsessed with Unreal Engine.

He felt that this thing must be a good thing, after all, it could save a lot of money, but it was a pity that it was made by a company he boycotted before.

It's a bit of a shame really.

At the same time, this also made Alfonso simply smash the jar.

Since it doesn't work, then continue to belittle and slander, anyway, I should have been blacklisted by Youxing Electronic Entertainment now.

So that night he chose to be a guest on a show.

This is an American talk show program. The host is very topical and can drive the atmosphere. It is a well-known talk show host program. Its nature is probably similar to the original Jimmy Chicken Feather Show in the world, but this talk show is in the form of live broadcast. , usually the program will be played at the same time on the same day.

After he came to the scene, he had some simple interactions with the host, which he was already familiar with, and then he went straight to the topic, which was to continue to criticize Youxing Electronic Entertainment for its irresponsible behavior in the film industry.

But the words are still similar to those before. It is a kind of contempt for the film industry for a game producer to do things above the director.

"If I were to judge, I think Youxing Electronic Entertainment should not get involved in the film industry. They are obviously very successful in their own industry, so they should continue to maintain this advantage. If they have a certain series of IP that they want For film adaptation, I think it is better to cooperate with a professional film and television company instead of making a film by myself.”

"Alfonso, from what you mean, do you think you are a more suitable partner?"

The host said with a hint of ridicule.

This host seems to have a great talent for fighting fire, and he hits the nail on the head with a single sentence.

"Me? I definitely won't, because the company Youxing Electronic Entertainment does not agree with my philosophy, even if the other party asks me, I will definitely not agree."

Then he paused and continued: "However, when it comes to the IP of the movie, I've been making a movie recently. The special effects are very good. We have already screened the short film internally, and the response is very good. This kind of movie is very suitable for watching in the cinema, if the audience is interested..."

"Well, please wait a moment! Please wait a moment!"

Just when Alfonso was about to promote his movie, and the host cooperated and planned to praise it, a voice rang out from the audience.

The camera quickly switched to the auditorium, and then the focused lights of the auditorium came on, shining on a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

The young man carried a little bit of indignation at this time.

"My friend, do you have any questions?" The host asked proactively.

"I want to ask Mr. Alfonso, why do you think that the Final Fantasy movie supervised by Zhu Youxing is very bad?"

"It's very simple, because he is not in the film industry, he is not professional in this area." Alfonso said with a natural shrug.

The facts seem to be true. Zhu Youxing is not very good at scheduling and controlling the filming process in the film industry, otherwise he would not hand over the management authority to the director, making the director a form of steward of the film, not an inspiration sponsor.

There seems to be no big problem with Alfonso's explanation and answer.

At this time, the young man said again: "Then maybe you don't know Zhu Youxing, many of the games he produced have very good plots and stories, and some stories can even be called masterpieces and classics, no less than an excellent movie. "

Alfonso looked at the young man calmly and said, "So? So he is very successful in the game industry, so he can be equally successful in the film industry? My child, you are still too young, and the film industry is not as good as you imagined." What a mess, every industry has its difficulties, how could it be possible for a layman to easily beat us professionals? If it happened, wouldn’t our hard work for so many years be a joke?"
