Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 155

  Chapter 155 Lead cooperation! Horror reboot!

   Regarding this, Shen Miaomiao also thought so.

but.

  Different from Gu Sheng's wait-and-see attitude.

  Shen Miaomiao is very interested in this cooperation.

  She didn't come from time travel, so she doesn't have much prejudice against Comera, a comprehensive digital entertainment group.

  She only knows that in today's global game market, people are number one.

  At the same time, its somatosensory cabin market share is also among the best.

   is a world-class company.

  A world-class company is now actively proposing cooperation with a small and medium-sized regional game company like them, and everyone has to weigh it a little bit.

  Shen Miaomiao thinks this is very beneficial to her.

Due to the launch of the official version of the system, an additional derivative project mechanism has been added—as long as the main project is profitable, the project is considered successful, and derivative sub-projects are allowed to start, and the sub-projects will inherit the rebate rate of the main project and can be based on it. , to further increase the magnification.

   Such an upgrade undoubtedly gave her a new way of thinking about losing money.

  Now she can no longer blindly pursue losses when playing games, but to change her strategy to increase the rebate rate of the main project as much as possible, and make the main project as profitable as possible.

   In this way, she can open sub-projects, and let the sub-projects inherit the rebate rate of the main project, so as to maximize the rebate for losses!

   And now!

  The cooperation project proposed by Komela is suitable as the main project.

   After all, they are Asia's number one, pan-global comprehensive digital entertainment group.

  The so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Comera's reputation is here, and her strength is beyond doubt.

  In addition, they still have a large share of the somatosensory cabin market.

  The most important thing is that the chief director this time is Lao Gu!

  If the chief director was someone else, then Shen Miaomiao might still mutter a little bit.

   But Lao Gu...

  All kinds of favorable conditions are undoubtedly even more powerful for this guy.

   Regarding this, Shen Miaomiao was full of confidence.

   Therefore, I am also very interested in this cooperation.

Of course.

  Whether it's Gu Sheng's skeptical wait-and-see, or Shen Miaomiao's full of interest.

  One thing is beyond doubt—they can conduct preliminary understanding and contact for this cooperation.

  So!

   Afternoon!

  Under the connection of Chu Qingzhou, Jin Zhifeng and Ke Meila started a video conference—

  For Komera, the leader of the meeting was naturally Toruya Moritani, executive director of the game business, accompanied by Sanaeko Inoue, Moriya's secretary, and Higashi Noda, director of the game affairs department.

   As for Golden Wind, the president Shen Miaomiao led the meeting, and Gu Sheng and Chu Qingzhou accompanied him.

  The video was connected, the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and then got to the point.

  “…I believe that your company must be very interested in this cooperation if you can start a video call with us. We are very honored for this,”

   Moritani opened the mouth and said:

   "Then please allow me, on behalf of our company, to introduce this cooperation to your company, the preliminary idea we put forward—"

  The cooperation was proposed by Comera.

  They naturally have to issue a set of specific cooperation plans.

  In fact, it is very normal for a comprehensive digital entertainment group like Comera to invite game manufacturers and studios to cooperate, and it is also very common in this world.

   It's like Xun Teng's game and Zhenting.

   To put it bluntly, it is to recruit mercenaries.

  However, the current situation of Golden Wind is somewhat different from what happened to Zhen Ting back then.

  Zhenting is a game supplier, specializing in providing **** masterpieces for the third generation of polar bears, and Zhenting is responsible for the game production costs.

   In terms of Xunteng Games, it provides Zhenting with corresponding publicity resources, as well as some preferential treatment.

  The cooperation between Komera and Golden Wind is more in-depth.

  According to Moritani's introduction, this time "Restart Silent Hill Project", Comera wanted to invite Golden Wind to jointly fund and develop it.

  Comela provided the IP, and Golden Wind provided the main team.

  For the production cost of the game, 70% is paid by Ke Mei, and 30% by Wind of Gold.

  Naturally, in terms of income, the two parties also split the accounts.

  The copyright of the game IP is fully owned by Komera.

   It can be said that this cooperation is quite fair.

  After all, the IP was originally an abandoned case of Camera. Golden Wind dispatched only a creative team of less than 20 people, and the rest of the relevant production staff were from Camera, and the cost was also dominated by Camela.

  This cooperation is reasonable.

  Shen Miaomiao and Gu Sheng looked at each other, and both felt that they had no objection.

   I just wanted to talk about the specific details.

   Hearing that Moriya suddenly changed the subject, he said, "But..."

  Looking at the big screen, Moriya opened his mouth and said in a deep voice:

   "But before the official development, out of trust and recognition of your company, Mr. Sam, we hope to start a pilot cooperation with your company immediately."

   "Leader cooperation?"

   This is a new word, and due to the language barrier between the two parties, they have been communicating in English all the time. Shen Miaomiao didn't know if she translated it correctly, so she wondered:

   "Mr. Moritani, can you explain this so-called 'pioneer cooperation' in detail?"

   "Okay okay,"

   Moritani nodded and said:

   "Theoretically speaking, it takes at least one and a half to two months for the cooperation between our two parties, from negotiating to discussing the specific details, to the conclusion of the cooperation agreement, the approval of the two parties' legal affairs, and the final signing."

   On this point, Toru Mori did not talk nonsense.

   After all, the cooperation between Comera and Golden Wind is already a transnational project.

   The situation itself is a little more complicated.

  In addition, Golden Wind also has a parent company, Shen Capital.

  According to the company's regulations, for any project involving [transnational partnership], the relevant contract agreement must be reviewed by the legal department of the parent company.

  This is a hard and fast rule.

  After all, the size of Shen's capital is here. Without some special support and background, it is impossible to exist so stable.

   This is not only Shen Wanlin's request, but also the above meaning.

so!

  Even if it is a game cooperation development agreement, from drafting to signing, it will not be completed within a month or two.

   "But in two months, the Dongjin Video Game Festival will open, and there is not much time left for us,"

   Moritani said:

  “In view of the current situation of the horror game market, a simple promotional film does not seem to be able to show our determination to rebuild the glory of horror games,”

   "So, the upper management proposed that in this Dongjin Video Game Festival, in addition to the promotional video, there should also be a demo version for players to experience and play,"

   "The time may not be too long, but we must fully demonstrate our innovation in horror games, so that the restarted Silent Hill IP will become the hope of the horror game market,"

"so…"

Speaking of which.

   Moritani opened his mouth and considered the vocabulary:

   "So we consider whether we can start the pilot cooperation in advance during the formal cooperation discussion and drafting process, and start to promote the production of the trial version?"

   Tsk hiss—! !

   As soon as this remark comes out!

  Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but secretly smacked their lips at the same time, their brows furrowed slightly.

   It can be seen that Komela is a little anxious. Presumably this plan of "expanding the game types and developing horror games" has only been proposed not long ago, which seems to be rushing the ducks to the shelves.

  It's a bit difficult.

   If it's just pure cooperation, then according to the conditions proposed by Komera, Golden Wind has no reason to refuse.

   Not to mention making money, the key is that this cooperation has greatly helped their reputation.

  But now, Moritani suddenly proposed to carry out "pilot cooperation", which undoubtedly disrupted the cooperation process that should have been carried out step by step.

   "This... does not meet our company's regulations..."

  Contemplating for a moment, Shen Miaomiao frowned slightly, and said:

   "Any project involving [transnational partnership] must go through the approval of the upper parent company and risk assessment. This is our rigid rule,"

   "No matter how fast our process is, we can't finish it without more than a month,"

   "I don't think we can achieve the 'pilot cooperation' proposed by your company."

  The red line cannot be touched.

  Although Shen Miaomiao was concerned about her rebate plan, she would not lose her wits and forcefully shake the rules of the head office.

However.

   Who is Moriya.

  Since he proposed this idea, he naturally has his own solution, so he smiled:

   "We have a general understanding of your company's situation,"

   "In terms of rules and regulations, we absolutely respect the relevant requirements of your company and your country, and never touch the restricted area,"

   "So, we're working around a bit,"

   "Cooperation negotiation and approval, we proceed as usual,"

   "But during the negotiation period, we are willing to 'employ' Mr. Sam at twice the market price,"

   "Forgive me for using this inappropriate term, and if I offend you, I express my sincerest apologies,"

   "In this way, our mutual convenience cannot be regarded as [transnational cooperation relationship],"

   "It is a very simple [labor outsourcing] and [labor dispatch] relationship,"

   "As far as I know, such an outsourcing employment relationship does not require lengthy approval and risk assessment."

   What the hell? !

  Hearing this, Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

   This is really a toad marrying a frog—an ugly flower.

   Moriya's proposal is equivalent to directly bypassing the regulations of Shen's Capital.

   For the time being, Ke Meila only 'hires' himself, the king of special forces, and pays himself, and solves the matter of the trial version.

  After that, after the two parties formally reached a cooperation, Golden Wind will invest and send people to jointly develop the main game of Silent Hill with Comera.

   Heard the words.

  Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao turned their heads at the same time, and looked at Chu Qingzhou, the secretary who was most familiar with the company's procedures.

  Seeing Chu Qingzhou nodding his head slightly, he said that Moriya's method is indeed feasible and not against the rules.

  Gu Cheng secretly said good work, looked at Shen Miaomiao, smiled half-smile, and raised his eyebrows:

  'This little devil came prepared. He has a better understanding of your family's rules and regulations than you. '

  Shen Miaomiao also felt that this matter was outrageous.

  As Lao Gu said, if Moriya hadn't proposed this method, even she might not have been able to come up with this magical "pilot cooperation" model.

   also responded to Gu Sheng's dumbfounding expression:

  'Then what do you think? King of Special Forces? Do you think this method is feasible, little devil? '

  Gu Sheng thought for a while, then slightly hooked the corner of his mouth:

  'Let's see what his price is, if it's right, it's okay. '

  Shen Miaomiao's big eyes flashed brightly:

  'It's done. '

   Turning his head to look at Toruya Moritani, he said: "We discussed that this method is feasible, but before that, we need to know your company's bid."

   After Shen Miaomiao finished speaking, she waited for Mori Gu's reply.

  But on the other side, Moriya is already stupid!

ah? ? ?

   Bridge… bridge bean sack!

   You mean 'negotiate'?

  You...just...where did you discuss?

   Didn't you guys not speak the whole time, just looked at each other a few times?

   Could it be said that Golden Wind has its own set of passwords? Like Morse code?

   Hiss! !

  Think of it!

   Moriya couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

  If this is the case, then the golden wind is too terrifying!

  Because in this way, they can exchange opinions at any time in any negotiation meeting without any shyness, and then dominate the rhythm of the negotiation table!

   "This...uh...ah..."

   Moritani didn't quite understand how the two men negotiated, and how they reached an agreement, he hesitated for a long time before recovering, took the quotation brochure from Secretary Inoue next to him, and swallowed:

  "According to our market research and comparison, the annual salary of an excellent producer like Mr. Sam is generally between 100,000 and 150,000 dollars for the position of Director,"

   "After deliberation, in order to express our sufficient sincerity and determination,"

  “We decided to invite Mr. Sam to serve as the chief game director of Silent Hill with the highest salary, a total of 300,000 knives.”

Wow-

  Hearing Moriya's quotation, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao sighed in their hearts.

  It was just a trial version of the game, and Comera paid double the maximum annual salary.

   Three hundred thousand knives, equivalent to 2.1 million yuan.

  Gu Sheng couldn't help but secretly sighed that the big dog is really rich, really rich.

   And Shen Miaomiao secretly remembered this price, and was going to find a suitable opportunity to raise Lao Gu's salary.

   After all, for such a long time, from Cat Leo to Titanfall, Lao Gu has always received an annual salary of 500,000 yuan.

  Although this price tag is not too low in the domestic market, plus the dividends at the end of the year are quite a lot.

  But she thinks that Lao Gu deserves a higher price now.

certainly.

  Like the two capable generals like Lu Bian Dajiang, Lao Gu's right-hand men naturally cannot be left behind.

Um!

  Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao nodded.

  I am rewarding the employees to enhance the cohesion of the company. I am not deliberately raising labor costs to further increase the investment budget for future games!

   That's it!

  No objection from both parties!

  The pilot cooperation is hereby reached!

  Comera will hire Gu Sheng as the special chief game director of "Silent Hill" at a price of 300,000 dollars, giving him the highest authority in the project and leading all matters of the project.

   And Gu Sheng will also go to Neon in a week, and settle in the game department of Comera, and start the game development of the trial version of Silent Hill!

   Both parties expressed their expectations and optimism for this cooperation.

  At the same time, Shen Miaomiao was also in the system, opened the main project receipt, and directly pulled the additional time of the receipt to 90 days—

  【Main project: Silent Hill (unlocked)】

  【Project investment amount: 0 yuan】

  【Project settlement time:? days (+90 days)]

  【Project rebate ratio: 10 times (+90 times)】

  【Current revenue amount: 2.1 million yuan】

  【Estimated rebate amount: 0 yuan】

  【Remaining settlement time: waiting to open】

  【PS: Unlocked documents cannot generate settlement time, it will be automatically generated after being locked】

Perfect!

  Looking at the receipt that has not been locked, Shen Miaomiao nodded in satisfaction!

   This wave, I seek profit not loss!

  As long as this wave is successful, when my next sub-receipt is generated, it will be the day when I will get 100 times the rebate!

  Old Gu! rely on you! Come on!

  Shen Miaomiao was very excited!

   And Gu Sheng is also gearing up!

silent Hill!

   This milestone super IP has now come round and round to his subordinates.

   And he will also show his strengths, bringing players a psychological horror journey that goes directly to the depths of the soul!

   Horror Reboot!

  Silent Hill—Here we come! ! —

  PS: ask for a monthly pass~
