Chapter 58: Painted pie

  After Zhang Ke and Qian Bin left Jinling and returned to Shanghai, Chu He had a headache in the office chair.

   The company's working capital has become less! The thief is uncomfortable!

   Does the game industry make money?

  Make money!

This money-making is relative, and making money in a stand-alone game is based on the masterpiece. Investing tens of millions of dollars in masterpieces, along with the profitability of the game itself, the profits of the game, etc., can bring several times. Even more benefits.

   But for a year, two years, or even longer production cycle, the risks are self-evident.

   Therefore, most of the manufacturers who have the confidence to make 3A are listed companies with foreign capital and have sufficient cash.

   Even if this is the case, the failure of a 3A work is likely to bring the company to the bottom, even if it has once been infinitely beautiful.

   The current Tianhe network only has famine, Dantong Hall and Red Moon Legend to provide blood transfusion, but fortunately, the marketing department is also opening up new profit channels.

   Slowly build Dantang and famine into one IP, and make profits through animation, hand-made and other peripherals.

   It’s just a relatively long-term plan, and it will basically not be profitable in the short term, and it will even cost a lot of money. At the same time, the page tour department has also applied for three million project funds for the test development of new projects.

   In short, don’t look at the legend of the Red Moon every month, Dandangtang and famine can bring hundreds of millions of profits, but this money really feels not enough.

   boarded his own Weibo, and Chu He randomly selected a few pictures from the project materials.

   There is a real-life picture of the protagonist dressed as a knight who is practicing the sword, there is a picture of the protagonist dressed in gold clothes behind the gold, and there is a picture of the protagonist in ragged clothes begging.

  'S new work "Jianghu" is expected to be released in the summer. ’

In fact, domestic game producers and foreign game producers are treated at different levels. Some well-known foreign game producers are just like stars. There will even be players of different nationalities at the press conference. His native language greeted him.

The status of domestic game producers will be much lower, or that there is no work, no capital to allow it to attract fans of players. For example, you mentioned that many players who have played the swordsman biography know that this is a game produced by Beisoft. But few project creators Yao Daxian will know, let alone Zhang Ke as his deputy.

   But Chuhe's own words, the number of fans is still quite large, this is mainly due to the previous game starry sky interview, he has the title of founder of Tianhe Network.

   has only more than one million followers, but there are not many zombie fans. Although Chuhe has only sent a dozen tweets so far, the number of reposts and comments is good.

  After sending it on Weibo, some players who followed Chuhe started to leave messages.

   "That day, Chu He finally recalled his Weibo password and posted a Weibo."

   "Open map, free plot, real rivers and lakes, I really want to eat this cake!",

   "Summer? A glance at the time, how long!"

   "Forget it, famine is a good game, but domestic games can't really make large games, or do small games honestly, sell some ideas."

   "Yeah, the picture looks pretty good, but don't be able to hold my Titan V until then!"

   "Battle system of the flag of war? It is a turn system again, and the domestic game really can't do the action game like Devil's Cry!"

   Take a look at the comment area that is gradually becoming more lively. Chu He himself is a little surprised. How many people are concerned about his Weibo account?

  Perhaps you have to think about whether it is operating properly.

   Flipped a comment of @自己's comments, and some players' messages, some people looked forward to it, and of course many people expressed pessimism.

  Chuhe thought about it and decided to continue to disclose a little news.

   Then Chu He continued to send a Weibo, and attached a photo and a video.

   "Longzu Studio officially joined the family of Tianhe Network, and the new work "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is expected to open the full platform first trial demo version in May."

   The photo is a group photo of Longzu Studio, and the video is a video of the game trial of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" at the recent independent game exhibition.

   With the release of this Weibo, the comments below have exploded in an instant.

   "Lying trough! Doing "Jianghu" unsteadily and steadily, and ran to buy a studio? What is the situation of this Longzu studio, I have never heard of it!"

   "Amazed! It took less than a few months for the Longzu studio to be acquired by Chuhe?"

   "Isn't this a real machine demo!? This is a shock, something!"

   "Upstairs, this is the actual machine operation, and there is a demo of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" on the independent game show two days ago."

   "Awesome! Awesome! I'm looking forward to it! I don't want to compete with these ACT games of Devil May Cry, but I hope to make my own features."

   "This year I am a fan of martial arts games, I look forward to it, a "Jianghu" a "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and "Swordsman 8"!"

   "Zao Jing upstairs said that domestic games? Some of the foreign masterpieces are also on sale, don't you expect them?"

   "Don't expect, don't expect, I still prefer martial arts games!"

   Two Weibo, directly let the following comments explode, and the news began to spread in the industry.

  Zhang Ke and Qian Bin formed the "Dragon Ancestor" and developed the new work "Meteor Butterfly Sword". Many people in the industry already knew this news.

   At the same time, including net billion, penguin and other big factories, they also mentioned the acquisition of studios, or paid for development funds.

   But they were rejected by the two of them. Unexpectedly, as soon as the **** turned, they went directly to the name of Tianhe Network.

   Especially Wang He of WEGAME, when he heard the news, the whole person was stunned.

   What about a good craftsman? Say yes, don't want to be restricted by capital to play games?

How did    be acquired by Tianhe Network in a flash?

   I thought about what I had talked with the other party at the independent game show before~www.wuxiahere.com~Wang He is bad for the whole person.

  Compared to other manufacturers who want to acquire Longzu Studio, WEGAME actually prefers the game "Meteor Butterfly Sword".

   The current WEGAME wants to seize the player's market in China with the steam platform. Although there are communication tools that have a local advantage, but too few games, this is WEGAME's biggest disadvantage.

   3A masterpiece?

   At present, there are almost no words. Although there have been news in the industry recently that penguins want to act as agents for Capcom master monster hunters to monopolize the platform in the national area, but I don’t know if they can succeed.

   So born from WEGAME, Penguin promotes independent games and domestic cultural games.

The number of penguins on platform users cannot be comparable to the steam platform, but if you study carefully, you can find that most of the WEGAME users today are only for the purpose of purchasing domestic-made martial arts, Xianxia and other themes. of.

  Although many players are talking about why domestic games are always martial arts and why they are always fairy tales, as long as the quality is good, players with good taste will generally choose to buy them.

   Only because of foreign manufacturers, few people can make the flavor unique to China.

   The time passed quickly, the game was developed every day, and the team members were forced to drive. On the way, Chuhe took the whole team to Huashan for a trip, in order to allow the team to expand their thoughts.

  Neon Xuchang and Luzhou have also returned to Jinling.
