Chapter 463: It Was Supposed to Be a Good Day
Monday, March 21.
Pei Qian got up at noon on time and came to the company after lunch.
I was just about to enter the elevator, and it suddenly occurred to me that today seemed to be the day of the release of GOG's terminal game.
So instead of pressing the button on the 16th floor, he decided to go to the game department on the 17th floor first and ask a little about the GOG terminal game.
In terms of time, the terminal game version has been released for two or three hours, and the initial data should have come out, which is enough to see some clues.
"GOG terminal games are definitely not as popular as mobile games."
"After all, GOG mobile games are popular because the development of mobile games is lagging behind, and most mobile games cannot be played at all, forming a dimensionality reduction attack."
"The terminal game is different, there are many old MMORPG and FPS games at a higher level, and players have strong stickiness; At the same level, there are the veteran game "Divine Apocalypse" and the rapidly popular IOI abroad; At a lower level, there are various rising stars. ”
"With such fierce competition, GOG terminal games, as a new project, will definitely not get off to a better start."
Pei Qian came to the 17th floor, and as soon as he entered the door, he was captured by Hu Xianbin.
"Mr. Pei, you are here!" Hu Xianbin's expression was quite excited.
Pei Qian instinctively felt that something was wrong: "What, did you guess that I was coming?" ”
Hu Xianbin smiled: "I'm just guessing, after all, GOG has started so well, you must have expected it, and it is a high probability event to come and take a look." ”
Pei Qian: "? ”
What a good start???
Do the two of us have different understandings of "good start"?
Even if the mobile game starts well, how can the terminal game be good?
"Mr. Pei, look!"
Hu Xianbin raised his hand to signal.
Pei Qian followed his hand and looked at the computer screen next to him, on which were the initial data of GOG terminal games, which were constantly changing.
it! Such a good start?!
Pei Qian was about to shout.
He had seen similar data when GOG was launched, but after all, it was a mobile game project, and there were not too many competitors in the entire field, so it was normal for the data to be good.
But how can the data of the current terminal game be better than the data of the mobile game when it was just launched?
It's not scientific at all!
Pei Qian subconsciously looked at Hu Xianbin.
Hu Xianbin smiled confidently: "Mr. Pei, I knew that you were going to test me, and I have already thought carefully and summarized the reasons!" ”
"On the one hand, although the competition in the field of mobile games is fierce, there are still more players than mobile games, and there are more players who prefer heavy games!"
"On the other hand, we at Tengda have been deeply involved in the field of terminal games in the past two years, with the support of "Sea Fortress" and many stand-alone games, so that as soon as GOG terminal games are launched, there will be a huge group of potential players!"
"Last but not least, GOG mobile games and season bonuses have accumulated enough popularity for GOG before it was launched!"
"Due to the interconnection of mobile game accounts, many mobile game users download the mobile game for the first time."
"In order to get the season bonus, many players even guard in the Internet café in advance, and enter as soon as the server is opened, impact the qualifying competition, and race against time!"
"That's why GOG has made such a good start!"
"According to the data just sent by the Touching Fish Internet Café, the original three games in the Internet café were "Divine Revelation", ioi international server, and GOG test server, but after the official launch of the GOG terminal game, the balance has been broken."
"GOG quickly overwhelmed the other two games and won the hearts of players!"
"It's too early to declare victory, but GOG's idea of getting started on mobile and then on the desktop is clearly a success!"
"This is inseparable from your wise guidance, Mr. Pei!"
Pei Qian looked confused: "...... I've never instructed you to do GOG mobile games. ”
Hu Xianbin nodded: "Yes, that's right." ”
"Doing GOG mobile games and terminal games is what Sister Li requested."
"But Sister Li said that the reason why she proposed this method of 'dislocation competition' was to learn from you. Your previous marketing and promotion of a series of classic operations inspired Sister Li and changed her way of thinking, which is why you can think of using this way to promote GOG terminal games! ”
Pei Qian: "......"
Is this a backstab from across the ocean?
Li Yada is still traveling, and he can even leave a thorn in advance......
In addition to feeling the pain of the egg, Pei Qian also suddenly had an inexplicable sense of crisis.
According to the current situation, if IOI doesn't go abroad again, I'm afraid the situation is not good......
No, the next cycle must arrange the national server of IOI.
Otherwise, this world line will be completely deviated from what you imagined, and the consequences will be unimaginable!
Pei Qian turned to leave.
Hu Xianbin is no longer surprised by Mr. Pei's resoluteness: "Mr. Pei walks slowly!" Welcome to come often! Always ready to be reviewed! ”
After Mr. Pei left, Hu Xianbin looked at the data on the computer screen thoughtfully.
"I have to say that Mr. Pei's trick of 'making a mobile game when you are indecided' is really a panacea to solve all problems."
"Many people see the inevitability of the arrival of the tide of mobile games with the development of smartphones, but the understanding of the game industry itself restricts their behavior."
"Although they have seen the arrival of the mobile game boom, they are focusing on light games and casual games."
"But Mr. Pei is different, he is proficient in both the mobile phone and the game industry, which allows him to be more radical to put some heavy games on the mobile game platform, which is the case with "Bloody War Song", and GOG is also like this."
"Uh...... Although it was not directly decided by him, it was obvious that Director Lin and Sister Li were influenced by his thinking. ”
"Wouldn't that be a mobile game when something happens, and everything that can be changed into a mobile game in the future will be changed to a mobile game?"
"Hmm...... This seems like a good idea, and the battle mode of "Sea Fortress" seems to be a good choice for a mobile game. ”
"Well, write this down, make bold assumptions, and verify carefully......"
……
……
Tuesday, March 22.
Flying Yellow Studios.
"Mr. Pei, I still think that if I don't extend the secret key, it's a little bit of a loss."
"With the quality and box office of our film, extending the release for another month should be a basic operation."
"Although you can't make much money by extending it for a month, no matter how low the film scheduling rate is, it's good to earn an extra 10 million or 20 million."
Zhu Xiaoce drank tea while breaking his thoughts.
And Pei Qian was completely deaf to his words, taking a sip of tea, with a faint smile on his face.
For Pei Qian, today is a good day.
"Beautiful Tomorrow" is finally released!
This month was a nightmare experience for Pei Qian, who thought that February 22 would be an auspicious day, and the movie would die on the street as soon as it was launched, but a month later, the box office of the movie was finally fixed at 248.62 million.
The last-minute assistance of "Flying Star Journey" made "Beautiful Tomorrow", which had entered the end of its life, suddenly sit up in a dying illness, and under the return of light, it stubbornly cut nearly 20 million more box office than estimated by the dogeye APP.
Converted, the return to the production team will be about 83 million.
And the investment in this film is 30 million.
Therefore, more than a week ago, when Pei Qian heard Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo propose to extend the key to the movie for another month and earn another month at the box office, he was emotional and resolutely opposed.
In short, the movie "Beautiful Tomorrow" was finally released today.
And director Zhu Xiaoce obviously feels a little bit of a pity.
Although it won't make much more box office if it is extended for another month, at most more than 10 million, and there will be five or six million left in the hand, but why not give away the money for nothing.
Pei Qian drank tea silently, thinking that you know a hammer.
If it is extended for another month, the payment will have to be extended for another month.
The next settlement cycle is mostly about five months, and according to the current rhythm, there is a "quick settlement collection" business, and the payment will arrive within one month after the film is released.
If the payment is received in March, it can be put into the project immediately.
If you call in April and then put it into the project, the deadline of the project will be very tight, and it is likely that it will not be completed.
So, it must not be delayed!
The two of them had different ideas and were speechless for each other.
At this moment, Huang Sibo, who had just answered the phone, came over and sat down on the empty seat.
"Director Zhu, obviously Mr. Pei's decision is right."
"We really shouldn't extend the Key."
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned: "Huh? ”
Huang Sibo had a smile on his face: "Just now, someone from Alido contacted me and wanted to talk to us about the exclusive cooperation of "Beautiful Tomorrow"! ”
Zhu Xiaoce: "? ”
Pei Qian: "? ”
Both of them were a little surprised, but one was surprised, the other was frightened.
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh suddenly: "That's right! I see! ”
"Although the extension key can be released in cinemas for an additional month, in this way, the audience's demand for watching the movie will further decline, and when the website talks to us about cooperation, the price will naturally be reduced accordingly."
"And now that "Beautiful Tomorrow" has been released, there is still residual heat, and now we can get the best conditions by talking about cooperation with video sites like Elledo, especially talking about exclusivity!"
Huang Sibo smiled slightly: "Not only that. ”
"There will be online dramas with high attention in April, and many resources will be divided."
"And between now and the end of March, there happen to be no very good hit episodes on the website."
"After signing the exclusive "Beautiful Tomorrow", at least in March, you will get good recommendation resources!"
Zhu Xiaoce nodded suddenly: "I see, wonderful." ”
"It will be released on time to retain the popularity, so as to strive for more benefits with video websites."
"It's just that the price on the video site can be much higher than five million?"
Huang Sibo flipped through the documents on his phone: "At present, Elle Island offers two different exclusive cooperation models. ”
"One is buyout, according to the current market, for movies with a box office of over 100 million and big actors participating, the copyright procurement cost starts at 10 million, but does not exceed 50 million at most."
"Our movie box office is more than 200 million, and the popularity is not bad now, so Elle Island offered us 18 million."
"The other is to divide into ......"
Zhu Xiaoce slapped his thigh: "Of course it's a buyout!" ”
Pei Qian: "Divided!" ”
The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
Zhu Xiaoce's thinking is very simple, this movie is sold to video websites, and the video websites will engage in on-demand, even if it is shared, how long will it take to earn 18 million yuan?
Of course, it's a direct one-shot deal, and selling it for 18 million is not already blood-earned? Don't worry about it anymore.
And Pei Qian's perspective is something that no one can think of.
18 million is now in the account, isn't this going for my life?
I finally spent the excess money in the account temporarily, and when I saw that it was about to be settled, I coldly gave me 18 million, where can I spend it?
You just let me take a raffi bath every day, and I ...... Oh, that's a good time, but the problem is that the system doesn't allow it.
Therefore, we must not buy out!
Huang Sibo coughed lightly twice: "Ahem, let's listen to me first." ”
"In terms of sharing, each member's effective on-demand to us is divided into two pieces of five, and members watching more than 6 minutes are considered a valid on-demand. For a total of six months, the payment will be paid once a month. ”
"After six months, the movie will be free, but Elle will still pay a certain amount of money according to the incentive plan based on data such as broadcast volume and popularity."
"If it's safe, it's definitely easier to buy out, and if you have strong confidence in the movie, it's okay to share it."
Pei Qian's attitude was still resolute: "Divide!" ”
He doesn't care how much this movie can get in Elle, he only cares about one thing, no matter how much it is, you must not give it to me now!
Anyway, it's a big deal, and I'll talk about it in the next cycle!
Seeing Mr. Pei's resolute attitude, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce glanced at each other and nodded: "Okay, then divide it." We also feel that we should have confidence in "Beautiful Tomorrow", and the signing and sharing model will definitely make more money! ”
Pei Qian sighed silently, a little melancholy.
Today...... It seems that it should have been a good day for the movie to be released.
But why is that......
