The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games Chapter 507

Chapter 507 505. Unexpectedly, Bomi would also overturn.

Cao Yang did not expect that the release of Cameron's Avatar would actually boost the reputation and attendance of The Wandering Earth.

Because Cameron generously praised the Wandering Earth series of movies in an interview, there are now signs of re-releases in other Omi countries across the country, as long as those who have bought the source of The Wandering Earth film series.

For some viewers who have already watched it, this feeling is not dim. Those who have not watched it feel that they have a novel experience and enjoyment.

Therefore, after Avatar, The Wandering Earth Part 2 also achieved good attendance and increased box office revenue.

After Cao Yang saw it, he couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, time will not let down those who work hard, and what is supposed to come will still come."

Who would have thought that The Wandering Earth 1 was such a dismal box office when it was released, but now it can make a comeback and make back what it lost before?

And Ai Xiaomi was praised to the sky by Cameron.

In the past, Ai Xiaomi's influence in the circle was not great. Many people in the industry only wanted her to have a good financial backer father.

Therefore, many people commented on her, "If I had the support of a wealthy consortium like Bomi, I could make whatever I wanted and lose whatever I wanted, I would dare to make a large-scale science fiction movie."

Although it is a bit sour, it at least shows one thing, that is, as a new director, Ai Xiaomi is not very recognized by people in the industry, and many people think that she is where she is today because of Cao Yang.

And now that Ai Xiaomi's name came out of Cameron's mouth, the entire film industry was shocked.

People who didn't know Ai Xiaomi before are now asking about who Ai Xiaomi is.

"Oh, it turns out she is the director of "The Wandering Earth". I only knew Wu Jinglai before, but I didn't remember the director's name. I didn't expect that our country could have such a talented director and get Cameron's job. Praise, it's amazing.”

"Yeah, when I was watching the movie, I just thought The Wandering Earth was shot really well, the special effects were stunning, the plot was also shocking, and Liu's script was really good.

It's just that the director is a newbie. I really didn't remember her name. I just knew she was a cute girl. Didn't I expect her level to be so high? "

In short, more people praise Ai Xiaomi on the Internet, and this guy became famous all of a sudden.

Ai Xiaomi herself did not expect happiness to come so quickly.

However, Cao Yang sneered at these statements on the Internet and dismissed them.

“This is a typical example of admiring foreign things.

When The Wandering Earth came out, why didn't you show your support and give it more praise?

Now Cameron says, you think it is fragrant, and Ai Xiaomi is also fragrant.

Really a bunch of idiots. "

The environment in 2009 was like this, and there was nothing we could do about it. It only showed that the penetration of Western culture was indeed too powerful, and other people had settled deeper than us before, so in the long run, the United States had a decisive say in the film industry.

And it is because of Cameron's status in the American film industry that he has become the top master in the industry in the minds of so many Chinese people. Therefore, his words can allow the audience to "discover" China's own filmmakers.

It's quite sad when you think about it. In this era, many Chinese actors are proud of being able to break into Hollywood. Little do they know that they are just doing it to make a fortune in the Chinese market. Some Chinese actors have very few scenes in the movie. In the end, That is to say, they were only shown when it was released in China, and their scenes were directly edited out in other regions.

At this point, people still think that being able to film in Hollywood is like gold-plating.

Ai Xiaomi listened and nodded constantly, but it took two seconds to react.

"Boss, why do you always sound so awkward to me when you use the word [fragrant]?"

More than a month after Bomi's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City" was launched, the dust seems to have settled, with sales set at 940,000 copies worldwide.

For an average company, this is already a very remarkable achievement.

But for an industry leader like Bomi, this result actually did not meet expectations.

After the Ghost Blowing Lantern project team held a celebration meeting, they officially moved into the development of the next Ghost Blowing Lantern sequel.

Chief planner Cheng Xinghua rose instead of falling, and will continue to serve as the producer of the next Ghost Blowing Lantern.

This is something no one in other departments thought of.

According to their thinking, if Cheng Xinghua can sell such a large number of games, how can his boss not be held accountable?

Can there be a sequel to Ghost Blowing Lamp? !

This is simply outrageous.

In fact, Cheng Xinghua did a good job, and there was a boss standing behind him. After the boss talked to them last time, Cheng Xinghua told the members of the project team about this matter. Although everyone felt a little disappointed, after all, the game sales Didn't meet expectations, but what the boss said makes sense -

Making games is not just about making money, but also about exporting culture.

For those who make games, games carry not only culture, but also their dreams.

If you can realize your dream and let more people share it, this thing in itself is very meaningful.

So after understanding this truth, the production team members of Gui Chui Deng became unprecedentedly united.

In the past, they made games to make money. Now the quality of the games actually has less impact on whether they make money. What is more important is whether they can make high-quality games that can become a cultural carrier as Boss Cao said.

Of course, it would be best if you can make more money.

The production team of Ghost Blowing Light has directly expanded from the original 200 people to 600 people, and the next production cycle is expected to be 6 years.

Sufficient team staffing, sufficient financial support, and sufficient time.

"Is the boss crazy?"

People in other departments said it was incredible.

From the perspective of R&D costs, Gui Chui Deng 1 is no longer profitable. The development cost of Gui Chui Deng 2 is at least three times more, which means that there should be about 400 million R&D costs. After that, aren't you bound to lose money?

"Is the boss starting to use love to generate electricity?"

"I can understand if the game is done well, but the key point is that Gui Chuu Deng doesn't sell it for much money right now."

"I didn't understand it at first, but after listening to what the people in their department said, I think we are still a little different from other game companies. We are a company that really makes games.

The boss also said that games are a carrier of cultural export. If we don't export our own culture, others will export it, so he must keep doing it.

This kind of thing that takes several years to do well is too common abroad. It seems that our boss understands this very well. "

"Huh? Is that so?"

When I heard that the sales of Bomi's "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp: Jingjue Ancient City" were not satisfactory, in fact, the people who were most surprised were not Bomi's own internal employees, but people in the same industry who were most surprised.

NetEase's Ding Sanshi was so surprised that his jaw dropped when he saw Bomi announcing the news.

Because when he held a game company summit before, he also asserted that large-scale star products like Bomi's Ghost Blowing Lantern would eventually sell well. He didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face just a month later. .

But this time I felt a little comfortable being slapped in the face.

In fact, Boss Ding has never played the game "Ghost Blow Out the Lantern" at all. Everything is judged based on his own impressions, so some mistakes are normal.

"Knew it."

Boss Ding sighed and said to Zhan Zhonghui, the head of the game department next to him, "Look, there is no company in the world that has always made money. Bomi can't do everything flawlessly and will never fail, right?"

Zhan Zhonghui raised his eyebrows. Boss Ding is getting more and more inflated now. The sales volume of 940,000 is not considered a failure, right?

If it were any small company, it would be laughable to dream of selling so many sales.

Of course, for Bomi, a product that does not exceed one million dollars is considered a failure.

Doesn't this just mean that they have completely crushed us?

"So I've always felt that it's better to be more pragmatic when it comes to being an entrepreneur." Ding Sanshi's face was so happy that he couldn't even find the slit in his eyes. "I'm always too idealistic and take things for granted." What's the point of not overturning things?

Sure enough, Cao Yang had better luck in the past, and the people below were also good at comparing prices.

Look now, is it a mess?

The Ghost Blowing Lamp was not a product that Cao Yang wanted to make. I thought it was not very reliable at the time. I didn't expect that a company as big as Bomi would still be so insistent, and no one with any sense below would object.

Look, the final result is like this.

If Bomi continues to follow the current trend and make more games like Ghost Blowing Lantern, maybe we can catch up in the future? "

Ding Sanshi raised his eyebrows, feeling relieved.

Dingdang stood next to him, tilting his head with a half-smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

From a gamer's point of view, he admired Cao Yang very much. He had such courage, dared to make such a niche game, and was able to continue to develop new products after it failed. It was really amazing.

From a company perspective, he definitely wouldn't be able to do such a thing. After all, companies still have to make money, and they can't always use love to generate electricity.

It can only be said that it is a pity. Cao Yang's idea is good, but the reality is indeed too skinny.

It's the players who don't understand you, Boss Cao.

"I didn't expect that Bomi would also overturn. This is the result of not fully respecting the market."

Over at Xishanju, Mr. Qiu Xin also came to the same conclusion.

"I said from the beginning that this kind of niche game is untouchable. You still don't believe it. You also said that Bomi can make it. Why can't we learn a little bit? Now it's a slap in the face, right?"

Qiu Xin severely criticized the following producers.

While Guo Weiwei accepted it humbly, he thought to himself, that's not what you said at the beginning.

A month ago, you said that Bomi Company is a company with ideas and ideals. To make products like ghost blowing lamps is to follow the international and world-class path, but we can't learn from it because we don't have so much money and development resources.

I still don't know who is being slapped in the face now.

Qiu Xin sighed and said, "Obviously, the disadvantage of a genre like Ghost Blows Out a Lantern is that it is too niche, and it contains horror elements and hard-core action. It would be unreasonable not to hit the market.

Now that Bomi can have such a result, it can be regarded as self-inflicted. Who made them so arrogant?

So we must learn from other people's experiences and lessons. We definitely can't touch games with this niche theme. Bomi has the financial resources, and the boss is stubborn, so let them take advantage of it. We still stay honest. Make your own games, make money first, then build the company. "

"Yes, Mr. Qiu."

Several people answered in unison.

The evaluation of the industry has completely turned around from before and after the launch of Gui Blow Lamp. Many prophets who once thought that Bomi Gui Blow Lamp would be a big hit have now changed their minds and have become a hindsight.

"It's a pity. I was originally very optimistic about the game Ghost Blowing Lantern, and the strategic model promoted by Mr. Cao at that time was unanimously recognized by the industry. We very much hope that Ghost Blowing Lantern will be a big seller, which at least shows that the path from novels to games can be taken. If it makes sense, then the structure of the industrial ecological chain envisioned by Mr. Cao has a very bright future.

So I bought Bomi's stock specifically, but I didn't expect this result in the end.

Bomi's stock has also fallen in recent days, and everyone has seen the results.

As a result, it was not done, and the door was closed by Bomi's ghost. "

"What? I've already said that games like Ghost Blow Out the Lantern are too niche, and the chance of being thrown off the street is very high."

“It's true that Mr. Cao has a vision, but one thing he didn't consider is what the actual market is like. We small companies all know that we must do market research before making products, instead of taking it for granted and what we want to do. Just do whatever you want, without respecting the market and the real needs of players, then what you create will be a castle in the air and will inevitably collapse. Boss Cao should understand this better than us. "

“I totally can't understand why Bomi continues to develop a sequel after Gui Chui Deng received such a disappointing answer?

Is it because Mr. Cao is not rational enough and is as stubborn as others say?

Or is there something fishy about Ghost Blowing Lamp that makes Mr. Cao willing to invest such a high amount of money? "

"What kind of monsters and monsters are these?"

The little secretary was very angry when she saw the relevant news reports.

"One thing happened before, and another after that. I didn't have an independent opinion. Isn't it too fast?"

"You don't understand. Many people are like this. They say they are entrepreneurs and capitalists. In fact, using these words is to look down on them. They only understand the immediate interests and are very short-sighted. After a few years, talk later.

When Ghost Blowing Lantern 2 comes out, their attitude will change 180 degrees. "Cao Yang said with a smile.

It's funny to think about.

These people are like roast meat on the grill. When this side is cooked, turn it over.

Turn it over a few times and it will become mushy.
