Chapter 75: Rich capricious

   As if he didn't expect Chu He to ask such a direct question, Winster paused but said: "It's not news worth paying attention to. It's just that EA wants to reorganize the studio."

  Winster said lightly.

   For this issue, Chu He did not delve into it, and then shifted the topic: "Actually, at the beginning, we just placed our position in China. We did not consider how many overseas markets."

   This is a big truth. Although the game has been translated into English, and it also simplifies the unique Chinese culture such as the Yijing gossip, Chuhe did not think about targeting overseas markets outside China at the beginning.

   As for why it is different from the domestic manufacturers, I only deliberately made an English translation, mainly because of the wealth.

(The price of the domestic game localization group is not very expensive. The relatively strong strength is about 350 words, generally about 200. The foreign ones are more expensive. Take the 1 million-word text as an example, depending on the ability, each The cost is about 120,000 to 150,000 US dollars. In addition, the general martial arts games are difficult to translate. At the same time, if the manufacturer's conditions are more demanding, the artists are not willing to cooperate, and many translation teams are not connected because they are smashed. sign.)

   On the one hand, the English translation of the game is not too expensive, even if you are invited to the first-class translation studio in the industry, according to the number of words in the text, it is about 500,000 US dollars.

   The research and development costs of the entire rivers and lakes have now exceeded 100 million, which is not a problem for Chuhe, but for most domestic manufacturers, only the price of this English translation can develop a game.

   "This is not a wise choice, although China's market is large, and it is gradually on track." Winster shook his head and said.

Although I don't know how much money the other party's "Jianghu" has invested, but based on the performance of the final game, Winster has initially evaluated it in his heart. It will cost about 20 million US dollars, but considering that China's labor costs are different from the United States , But it will not be less than 10 million US dollars. Such a project is very large even if it is placed in EA.

  Considering only the local market, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen in EA, not to mention the follow-up water test, even the initial approval of the project can not pass.

   Even the person in charge of this project may be unlucky, ignoring capital risks. This behavior is incredible in a large company like EA, or any game company in the world.

   "Because the Tianhe network is rich, even if this project has no money, the Tianhe network will not collapse, we have our own blood transfusion machine." Chu He smiled and said.

   is different from when he created Tianhe Network, he directly sold his two standing suites of Shanghai Capital and sold his backwaters for a battle. Today, Tianhe Network already has a very mature blood transfusion machine.

The popularity of the Red Moon legend has gradually disappeared. The one-month net profit can only bring Tianhe Networks with no more than ten million profits, but the newly developed games of Dandangtang and the page game department are still popular every month. Bringing more than 200 million profits to Tianhe Network, and the success of famine and Meteor Butterfly Sword not only recovered the development cost, but also brought several times more profits to Tianhe Network.

  Although the development of "Jianghu" looks like a money-burning machine, it is really nothing for Tianhe Network's cash reserve.

  At the same time, besides the development of the game, Tianhe Network is currently developing peripheral products related to Dantantang and famine.

   For example, cartoons, comics, and toys.

   The current Tianhe Network will not be like other game companies. After it becomes rich, it will set up several projects to speed up the company's development.

Some people at the top of the company once suggested to Chu He that putting so much funds in the account was a waste of money and should be squandered out, even with the rapid expansion of bank loans, but they were rejected by Chu He.

   also led to the departure of some senior executives, but Chu He did not care about it, because he never had any idea of ​​making Tianhe Network into a large group company.

   Make your favorite game, make China's truly excellent game, without being constrained by capital, everything is up to you, this is what Chuhe wants.

  Of course, although the entire Tianhe network is Chuhe’s final say, it is impossible for Chuhe to say nothing about doing nothing. Developing its own IP series of games is one of Tianhe’s current strategies.

   Listening to Chu He’s words, still in the emotion of Winster for a while, I don’t know what to say.

  What else can I say?

  You tell others that starting a game without considering the market is a commercial taboo.

   Then they told you that if you have money, you will be happy.

  What else can I say?

   can only express envy and jealousy!

   As a game practitioner, Winster knows too much for the game development team that sufficient funds represent.

  Any game developer hopes to have a huge amount of money to allow himself to develop the game he wants, and does not want to have the power of capital behind.

   So this is why in recent years, the vast majority of well-known game producers have chosen to leave their jobs or create a company to do it alone.

  Because these people have already proved themselves in the industry, they can get enough funds, they can persuade the capital to trust them to make their own games, and don’t have to worry about capital gesturing behind.

   And this is almost impossible for a person who has not proven himself, or a pure new person~www.wuxiahere.com~, unless the person who invested you is your father, or is an idiot.

   "Winster, have you considered leaving the United States to work in a foreign country?" Chu He smiled and asked tentatively.

   Battlefield is one of EA's trump card IPs. Although the reputation of battlefields in Europe and the United States does not have a call of duty, it is also the top.

   And Winster can be its main person in charge, although it is the former person in charge, but also fully shows that he is a big cow.

  Especially cooperated with the other party to show that he had just been demoted, and it made Chu He move his mind to dig the wall.

   Hearing Chu He's words, Prot and Winster next to them both looked at Chu He with surprised eyes.

   Then Winster smiled and refused: "Sorry, I think I'm fairly comfortable with EA."

   "Okay." Chu He shrugged his shoulders.

   Then I chatted with each other again. After some interesting facts about the works brought by the major manufacturers at the Cologne exhibition, the other party found a reason to leave.

  After Winster left, Prot said: "He won't come to Tianhe.com because he wants to start his own business. In fact, he has found a way to invest in angels."

   "Well, it's a pity." Chu He suddenly said with some regret.

  FPS, in fact, Chuhe heart already has the idea of ​​doing this kind of game, but the current experience of the team on the FPS project is basically equal to zero. If Winster can join in, it can definitely be a heavy responsibility.

   "By the way, Prote, do you know Pig, are there some industry experts who can dig the walls and feet?" Chu He asked what Provo thought.

   The current Tianhe network does not lack money, but talents!
