Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

At around eight o'clock the next morning, Chen Xu got up from bed, washed up, had a simple breakfast, and then drove to the company.

Han Yue, Zhao Shan, Chen Qingzhu, Qin Yi, Wang Yong, and Jincheng have already been working in the company.

After saying hello, Chen Xu came to the office and looked at the development progress report submitted by Qin Yi.

At ten o'clock, Chen Xu's cell phone rang.

The person in charge who had made an appointment had already arrived, and was led to the conference room on the second floor by the front desk.

The other party is called Li Haoran, the person in charge of the crystal company. He looks like he is in his early thirties. The hairline on the top of his head symbolizes his status as a strong man. It is even a bit dazzling under the light.

After exchanging polite words, Chen Xu directly explained some of the prepared materials and the requirements to get straight to the point.

"The total length of the game CG animation is about 20 minutes, and I have ready-made storyboards, character designs, and scene plots. How much is the specific budget?"Chen Xu asked the other party.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Li Haoran showed some surprised expressions.

The storyboards, character designs, and scene plots were all ready. Do you just need to find an OEM?

But he was surprised, and he was still Quote now

"This needs to be viewed based on a specific effect, and the main cost is the rendering in the later stage. If most of the content is provided by Mr. Chen, our price quote is about 70,000 per second."Li Haoran made a serious quotation.

At the same time, he also took out a tablet computer and some related documents. He was obviously prepared.

"Just proceed according to this standard." Chen Xu thought about it in his mind and couldn't help but sigh.

This CG animation production is really expensive!

A cost of 84 million, including the cost of his own game development, has already exceeded 100 million. Fortunately, here" The revenue of"The Coast of the Land" is strong enough, otherwise Chen Xu would really not dare to be so wasteful.

"Mr. Chen, I'm on standby at any time, just waiting for your settings and storyboards."After the discussion was completed, Li Haoran said to Chen Xu

"Well, when the time comes, Mr. Li, you can just hand over to me directly. It will be the day after tomorrow, and the contract will be signed at that time."Chen Xu also nodded slightly and said.

It is naturally impossible to settle such a large amount of money at once. Although Fengyun Games currently has more than 100 million liquidity parked in its account.

But at least there is a lot of interest if it is parked for one day.

It can be settled in installments, so Chen Xu doesn’t have to pretend to be rich and insist on settling it all at once.

Mosquito legs are also meat!

………………

After sending Li Haoran away, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he had just negotiated a big deal worth more than 80 million yuan, even though he was the one who paid for it.

After walking out of the office, Qin Yi and others immediately surrounded him.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, are we going to make CG animation? Promotional video?"Qin Yi asked curiously

"Of course, the cutscenes in the game will also be used in promotional videos."Chen Xu nodded and said.

After all, it is more than 80 million yuan for CG. If this thing will be part of the publicity by then, the money can't be wasted, right?

And RTS real-time strategy game, more than 80 million yuan for CG animation, no matter Whether at home or abroad, it can be said that Fengyun Games is definitely the first one.

In short, it must have the greatest popularity by then, and it will be able to cooperate with the Fengyun Game platform to become an instant success. Chen Xu also has a general idea in his heart.

Listen to Chen As for Xu, Zhao Shan, Chen Qingzhu and Han Yue on the other side were all a little curious.

"Mr. Chen, CG animation should cost a lot of money, right?" Zhao Shan asked

"For sure, an episode of anime costs hundreds of thousands!"Chen Qingzhu echoed and said

"Not much, not much, just 70,000 per second. I did it for 20 minutes."Chen Xu looked at everyone's curiosity about the baby and pretended to be calm and calm.

"Is that so? Wait a minute! 70,000 per second! 20 minutes!"Hearing 70,000, Han Yue just wanted to echo that it was really not much, but then his eyes widened when he realized it.

Qin Yi, Zhao Shan and Chen Qingzhu on the side also had shocked expressions on their faces.

Did they hear it correctly?

"What kind of expression is this? After conversion, it only costs over 12 million U.S. dollars. Do you think it’s much cheaper if you think about it this way?"Chen Xu was also joking with a few people.

God damn, it feels much cheaper when it becomes more than 12 million US dollars!

"Mr. Chen, is this too risky?"

"yes!"

Chen Qingzhu and others said a little worriedly.

In their opinion, this is still a bit too risky.

"This month, the turnover of"Land of the Land" has exceeded 200 million, and the share of the subsequent platform is about 180 million, which is only a fraction of one month's income. We have capital to resist risks, and you are very interested in"Warcraft" Don’t you have confidence?"Chen Xu smiled and said to everyone. After listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone also came to their senses.

Yes!

《"The Coast of the Land" and"Three Kingdoms" are still providing cash chains. It's not that they don't have trial and error costs.

And one of the qualities of"Warcraft" is that they have a very high level of confidence.

But I was just shocked by the 84 million mentioned by Chen Xu.

After all, an RTS game has 84 million CG animations. How can this not be scary?

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhu and Zhao Shan turned around decisively:"Mr. Chen, let's study the plot and dialogue to see if there are any flaws."

"Mr. Chen, I will also study numerical problems!"Qin Yi also stood up decisively.

"Mr. Chen, I am considering the marketing promotion of"Warcraft" in the future!"Han Yue was no longer calm.

Wang Yong and Jincheng looked at each other and said in unison:"Mr. Chen, we will also think about the score calculation on the platform!"

The 84 million yuan to do 20 minutes of CG really scared everyone.

But what replaced it was strong self-confidence and enthusiasm.

Even the three major domestic companies would not have such a big courage and investment, right?

Look , Looking at the faces of everyone, Chen Xu who was standing there couldn't help but smile. Is it worth spending 84 million to just do 20 minutes of CG?

In Chen Xu's opinion, it is worth it.

Just the two words"Warcraft" are enough.At the same time, RTS itself has certain limitations.

The CG plot animation model can allow players to understand a person's plot in the game and create a sense of immersion.

After all, for Chen Xu, the success of"Warcraft" is , and it can be said to be crucial to his next strategy for the game market.
