"Well, Zhuyou, in fact, I still have a little unfeeling favor."

After Tukarev readily agreed to all the copyright authorization of Zhuyouxing, he had a new idea.

"What kind of unfeeling request? We don't need to be so polite, you can just say it directly. Of course, I can't promise you whether you agree or not."

"Hehe, it's actually not a big deal. Do you have any IP that you think can be authorized externally? I kind of want to adapt some of your game works. You see, if your game works do not have film and television adaptations, it is actually It is a pity that this is equivalent to missing a lot of money."

"Is the IP under my banner authorized... You said so."

Tukarev's eyes lit up.

Is there a show?

"You know the game Resident Evil, I want to make some movies with this as the background."

"Resident Evil? Oh, I've heard of this! Your game is quite famous in the horror circle."

It's not just about being famous.

Resident Evil has created a new field of development in this world.

Before Resident Evil, most of the zombies were set to be shaped by some kind of religion or some legends.

In the past, most of such film and television dramas can only be regarded as B-grade plasma films, without connotation and nutrition, just for a small group of people who have a unique hobby for blood plasma to enjoy.

But when it comes to Resident Evil, it can be said unceremoniously that it has completely reshaped the setting of the general direction of Resident Evil.

Adding a modern biotechnology infection background makes it easier to be accepted by players and audiences in this era.

So when Resident Evil was just released, this game was spread in many like-minded circles because of its setting.

Especially in this era when Internet video has begun to develop, some enthusiasts have begun to spontaneously shoot such short short films of Resident Evil.

The game Resident Evil is tantamount to listing a standard answer for this genre, and even people in the film and television industry can refer to it.

Later, some well-known directors in this world publicly declared that they would not need any remuneration other than hard work, and only wanted to make a movie of the Resident Evil series.

Of course he can start from scratch. The setting of the background of Resident Evil does not have any copyright restrictions, but the background of the story of Resident Evil itself is already quite brilliant. At present, not many people can run the big setting of the Resident Evil game. Come up with something new.

Then making a Resident Evil movie would be a lot more legitimate, and the director himself liked this setting very much.

It's just that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has been indifferent to this.

It's not that Youxing Electronic Entertainment doesn't want to develop an adaptation of this game. The main reason is that Zhuyouxing himself forgot. Originally, during the development of Resident Evil, Zhuyouxing had already planned movies like Zombie World War, Zombie World The Great War can be said to have raised the tide-like horror atmosphere of Resident Evil to the extreme. Later, it will be difficult for this type of zombie movie to surpass. crisis story.

Fortunately, the movie's own story setting is relatively vague, and it is not a problem to add it.

For a long time in the past, he was busy developing games every day, and he had no time to think about these things.

But Da Tianzheng gave Zhu Youxing some inspiration after he found him. If it weren't for him, Zhu Youxing might continue to forget that he still holds such a large number of treasures of IP works. Da Tianzheng can be regarded as a reminder.

In the original world, games adapted from movies, TV dramas and anime naturally have a fan base. Adapting these works as games is one of the easiest ways to make those fans like video games.

So he didn't realize until now that he still has so many IPs on hand that can be used to make movies.

Zhu Youxing was also stunned. He already planned to look back and find a way to set up an animation film department similar to Pixar, and by the way, expand his own special effects production team. Before, there were only one or two hundred people, and now it has increased to five hundred. , so as to deal with the next new job.

On Tukarev's side, Zhu Youxing said to him: "I just have a script about a movie adaptation of Resident Evil. If you are interested, this work can be entrusted to you to shoot. Of course, I can also There is no need to charge too much authorization fee, five percent is fine."

This is tantamount to reciprocity.

Tukarev has very generously promised Zhu Youxing to give himself the copyright of adapting film and television dramas after collecting a symbolic licensing fee, so he should repay it.

Tukarev was naturally quite happy.

Zhu Youxing's gold mine can be regarded as a deal by himself!

"You already have a script?! That's really great. A script written by the main producer of your game must be quite good. Then when can you show it to me?"

"In a few days, I'll simply sort out the script and show it to you."

"OK, I'm waiting for your good news. By the way, you can come to the United States to get together with me when you have time. We haven't had dinner together for a long time. Anyway, we need to get in touch with each other."

Zhu Youxing smiled: "Definitely."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Youxing began to think about it.

While he was thinking about the proposal Da Tianzheng gave him, using the model of pushing the ground to promote the game, at the same time he was thinking about the direction of adapting the game.

Tukarev has war movies, sci-fi special effects movies, and some personal cool movies, which are naturally quite suitable for adapting games.

It just so happens that the development experience of Uncharted Seas is constantly accumulating. After the team completes the production of Uncharted Seas, they can immediately develop these more standard industrialized games.

Simply put, the main purpose of these games is not to create new genres, nor is it to aim for the highest game quality.

Their own responsibility is more to expand the player base, and it is enough to produce works with a quality of three and a half stars and above.

The same is true for other teams. At this juncture, these adapted games are like experience monsters. While increasing the team's experience in industrial game development, they can also reveal to them their future plans.

On his desk, there is already a new top game waiting to be developed, and this game is in the world famous "The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild".

Now that the switch is about to be released, this is naturally not to be missed as the top game on the game console.
