Chapter 378 Blowout Rhythm (Part 2)

After everyone's laughter was over, Baker continued: "Well, I won't sell the pass, and go straight to the subject. This time the main collaboration between Paramount Film Production and Star Group is about a latest movie. , This movie series must be familiar to everyone, absolutely familiar to everyone."

"This movie is the fifth in the Superman series. The exact name has not yet been determined, but we have decided to give the special effects of this movie to the Starry Sky Group for a price of 100 million US dollars, and we will pay a down payment of 30 million US dollars. Deposit." Baker saw that everyone was a little anxious and didn't make a sloppy eye. He directly told the content of the press conference held by the two companies.

Although everyone has guessed, when Baker spoke out this content, the whole meeting place was silent first, and then there was an uproar. All the reporters almost immediately couldn’t wait to throw out all kinds of problems. The huge volume Immediately turned the meeting room into a vegetable market. The decoration in the meeting room was based on the decoration of the attraction shed, but many echoes were still heard.

"Everyone please be quiet, please be quiet!" the host said immediately next to him. These reporters are all people who have seen big scenes. Although the news made them a little shocked, they only asked those questions. The host shouted, and these reporters also knew that no one could get any information on such scenes. , Everyone immediately calmed down.

"The following is the reporter's question time, please follow the order of the venue." The host Fei quickly emphasized the discipline of the venue before entering the next link. There are quite a lot of news media coming this time, so this time there are many people watching the press conference at the same time. Through all kinds of channels, everyone was caught by this news. Most netizens and people in China are optimistic. After all, in terms of technology special effects, China is indeed a blank, and now companies can directly get Hollywood orders, which is naturally worthy of everyone's encouragement.

This at least means that the level of domestic special effects production in the future will also keep up, and those movie companies that do not want to spend money can find no excuse to shirk. However, most of the foreign people, especially those in the United States, cannot understand what happened to Paramount. Some media that did not come to the interview even published their own comments directly. Several major newspapers used them directly. Paramount took a faint stroke to describe the cooperation between Paramount and Star Group.

Even some of the fierce media are directly arrogant that Paramount will be destroyed. Chinese goods are very competitive in the United States, and many factories of American companies are in China, and then sold back to the United States, so the American market is above. There are a lot of madeinchina, but this does not mean that in the aspect of movie special effects, Chinese manufacturing also has such a high competitiveness. As we all know, except for Hong Kong movies, China’s movies are mainland China. Like a slag.

But now Paramount has signed a contract with such a company. Some people who know it are aware of the signing of the contract between Star Group and Blizzard Entertainment. The video released by Star Group at that time also made all the people around the world surprised. However, accidents are unexpected. There are still great differences between game effects and movie effects.

Being able to do good game special effects does not mean that you can make good movie special effects. And more people are not surprised that Paramount has signed a special effects production contract with the company, but how the superman series of surprised movies went to Paramount? If I remember correctly, shouldn’t it be Warner Bros.? A reporter asked this question at the scene, and Zhang Yang also wanted to know the answer to this question, but unfortunately, Baker did not say why.

And the third surprise is the production cost of the movie. The overall special effects production is only 100 million US dollars. That is to say, the entire Superman’s fifth film, that is, the total production cost of this movie in the future will never return. More than 200 million US dollars.

Zhang Yang didn't know what the specific production cost of Superman returned this movie was, but it should also exceed US$200 million. Although it was said that the special effects were produced to the Star Group at a price of US$100 million, Zhang Yang, who understands the contract, naturally knows This price is simply imaginary. There is a provision in the contract that the final production cost will be 60% of this 100 million US dollars, or about 60 million US dollars.

The remaining 40 million dollars will be handed over to Paramount Corporation, and Paramount Corporation will do its best to promote Star Group. The global box office returned by Superman does not seem to be particularly high, but as the first step of the Star Group into the film special effects production industry, there is nothing to lose. Anyway, the Star Group’s production cost is almost zero, nothing more than the salary of the employees. As for the salary Without this business, Starry Sky Group will still have to pay wages!

Huang Yi, who was in front of the computer at the moment, was full of dullness in his face. He never expected that the Starry Sky Group would have 30 million US dollars at once, and then 70 million! 30 million US dollars is 240 million RMB! This Star Group suddenly surpassed Phantom Technology. While negotiating with the technical director and president of Star Group, Huang Yi also said that the other party's strength is not as good as Phantom Technology.

This is good, people have 240 million at a time, and it is still cash! Even if Huang Yi doesn't know the cost of film special effects production, but it is well known that the high profit of the software industry makes people feel terrible. This is almost universal and it is not necessary to think about it at all.

Like Huang Yi, there are many people who know the Starry Group, and there are also many dull people. The speed of the rise of the Starry Group makes everyone feel a bit scary. At the beginning, the Starry Group is really nothing profitable. Many people are ready to watch Starry Group's joke, Starry Group and Matrix Security are not the same. After Matrix Security has swallowed Baiying Security, it already has a big customer, the Agricultural Bank, and its enterprise users are charged.

Although Matrix Security also has security software that users can use for free, the profit point of others is not here. It is nothing more than wasting some servers. It is nothing, but Star Group is different. From the beginning, Star Group seems to have only one free optimization software. The game developed.

Everyone does not know what is the profit of the Star Group, but now the Star Group tells everyone at once, what is the profit of the Star Group! And the development of the Star Group has made everyone understand a little. Although high-tech companies have some things in common, especially in terms of computers, this jump is a bit too big. At first, Starry Sky Group seems to be safe, and now it jumps directly to computer effects.

And it seems that the computer special effects are quite good, at least much more reliable than their current photon defense software that is not profitable at all. Of course, the software is easy to use and easy to use, but in the eyes of many businessmen, Easy to use is easy to use, but what is the use of all free?

Zhang Yang's mouth smiled at the computer screen, and he had to say that most people's thoughts still couldn't be changed. What made Tencent rely on fortune? Isn't it free? And in the afterlife, 360 finally dared to challenge Tencent. What did you rely on? Doesn't it depend on its huge installed capacity and users? Although 360 said that the installed capacity of 300 million was somewhat humid, but the moisture of Tencent's users is not small. It is normal for at least everyone to have seven or eight dozen numbers.

But these people don’t understand, Zhang Yang is happy. For example, although Matrix Security said that Zhang Yang had given them an idea, the current focus of Matrix Security is not on the free software, but on theirs. For other fee-based services, the installed capacity of Matrix Security’s free security software is now increasing rather than being too rapid. It all depends on the mutual transmission between users.

Since they did not want to do it, Zhang Yang ignored it. Anyway, although he said that he has 40% of the shares of Matrix Security, he could not get the shares. With such a little effort, it is better to develop the Star Group What. The news conference of Star Group is not long, but the sensation caused is quite huge. The domestic newspaper media is okay, but almost all major foreign newspaper media are flooded with this news.

Paramount's influence is one of the most important. Near the end of the press conference, Zhang Yang suddenly received a call from Chen Xiaowei from the venue. "What's wrong? What call do you call me if you don't have a meeting? Do you want me to come to the stage to answer questions?" Zhang Yang asked quickly.

"I don't ask this question, but if you can answer me now, I can guarantee that at the end of today's press conference, there will be a more explosive news that these reporters are reluctant to leave our company." Chen Xiaowei smiled Said.

"You said." Zhang Yang immediately asked curiously. "This is the case. This question was not asked by me. It was asked by Mr. Microsoft's chief software architecture engineer." Chen Xiaowei said with a smile.

"Bill Gates?" Zhang Yang froze for a moment, but he didn't expect that Bill Gates also talked to Chen Xiaowei by phone. After froze, Zhang Yang was immediately alert. If there are any companies in the industry that make people value it, then Microsoft It's an absolutely unacceptable situation. Although there is currently no conflict between Star Group and Microsoft, it is plainly said that there are never absolute friends in the mall, and only absolute interests.

Even if a tank-making enterprise and a *-making enterprise might conflict one day, let’s say that in a sense, the two parties are still peers, especially Zhang Yang’s next preparations, which will definitely be in the future. Clash with Microsoft.

Although Microsoft is not committed to the research and development of mobile phone systems, as long as Zhang Yang has made certain achievements in mobile phones, Microsoft will definitely not be left behind! In the operating system industry, Microsoft is like Tencent in the domestic game industry. Brother is rich! Brother is rich in money, brother also has technology, brother is a cottage, what do you want to do?

What can I do? Only cold salad! The success of a company is definitely not a coincidence. It is naturally not a coincidence that Microsoft can have today. Bill Gates’s excellence is beyond doubt. His achievements have proved his excellence. Now it seems that Bill Gates is not as proud as the legend. , Just did not meet the person who asked him to come forward in person.

For example, the current Star Group has total assets that are not even as high as Microsoft’s profit for more than ten days. Even if such a company is a president, Microsoft may be able to talk to you directly by a manager, but Bill Gates personally contacted Chen Xiaowei, from this point of view, Microsoft still attaches great importance to the Star Group.

"What question?" After receiving affirmative answer from Chen Xiaowei, Zhang Yang asked back. "The other party just wanted to know how our optimization software did it. Bill Gates bluntly said that they have tested it. Even if they are developing a new system, your software can be used by ordinary users. To more than 30% performance improvement. Ask us if we can cooperate." Chen Xiaowei relayed Bill Gates's question to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang froze for a moment. The question of how to do this is also a white question. This is a secret. It is impossible for Starry Group to tell Microsoft. It is estimated that Bill is just asking casually. It is estimated that the real problem is the latter. com~ cooperation? Way? Did he mention the way? Zhang Yang frowned and asked directly.

"Yes, Microsoft will add an interface to our software after the new system is released, and recommend our software to be the first software necessary for the system. At the same time, our company needs to share with Microsoft the technology of how to optimize the system of photon defense. As a cooperation, Microsoft will share part of the core technology of the system with us, or we can choose to share the sales, of course, the proportion of the share cannot be too large." Chen Xiaowei said quickly.

Zhang Yang couldn’t help but sneer after hearing it. Microsoft had a good idea. They shared the technology with them. They also shared the technology with you. But do you think Microsoft may share all the core technologies of windows with you? Zhang Yang immediately said: "Is all the source code shared?" Chen Xiaowei choked, and then said: "Of course not, do you think it is possible, they said that they only shared technology with us in terms of system security, let us do this Will be easier."

"It's impossible. If it's fair cooperation, remember, I'm talking about fair cooperation. Even if Microsoft pays, we can help them optimize their new products, but technology sharing is impossible." Zhang Yang directly refused, if it was Such cooperation, killing Zhang Yang is impossible to cooperate with Microsoft. Because Photon Defense seems to be a free software, but its core kernel has many secrets.
