Chapter 191 Dasheng Studio, "Black Myth" sets sail!
"A 3A masterpiece, is it related to Journey to the West?"

Martin is also a smart person, and what their team is best at is Journey to the West.

"That's right!"

Zhang Shuo took out a game plan from the table with malicious intent and handed it to Martin.

It is "Black Myth".

Because until Zhang Shuo was reborn, "Black Myth" hadn't really come out, and he could only improvise a game plan based on fragmentary information on the Internet.

But even so, it was enough to shock Martin.

Because "Black Myth" was a project he had always wanted to do in his dreams, he didn't expect that it would be taken out by Zhang Shuo in advance, and he was stunned.

Zhang Shuo wanted to laugh.

He is very happy to see this famous scene of "Li Kui ran into Li Gui and mistakenly thought he was Li Gui". He used the same trick when contacting the Mihayou team in Shanghai before.

The effect is surprisingly good.

"How about it, are you confident to make "Black Myth"?" Zhang Shuo asked with a smile.

The success of a 3A masterpiece is closely related to many factors, such as creativity, teamwork, technical breakthroughs, etc. Funding is not the main factor.

Talent comes first.

Why didn't Zhang Shuo plan "Black Myth" until this time?

Because if it were any game studio under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, any studio director would not be able to produce "Black Myth".

Even at any cost.

It was not until the appearance of Martin, the soul of "Black Myth", that he decided to start this project.

Huaxia has no precedent for developing 3A masterpieces. Even if there is a very good idea, it is very difficult to achieve the expected audio-visual effects and perfectly combine art and technology at the same time.

In addition, it needs to pass strict tests, and there are almost no bugs.

The game itself must not only have outstanding usability, but also have rich gameplay, provide players with a pleasant experience from beginning to end, and balance throughout the game, etc.

Plus a nice GUI.

It is very difficult to achieve any of the above points, not to mention that each point must be up to standard, and it still requires leading a large production team and going through years of development time.

Without a passionate production team, it is hard to imagine success.

"To be honest, I'm not confident."

Martin has calmed down from the initial shock.

"Then slowly increase your confidence. If you need any support, you can ask it now." Zhang Shuo also appreciates Martin's frankness.

If Ma Tian boasted on the spot, it would make him suspicious.

"I need to form a team by myself, and at the same time, have the absolute right to speak in the whole process of game production." Martin was not polite.

This can be regarded as a learning experience for him, and he doesn't want to be disturbed by external factors during the game production process.

He said he had no confidence in his mouth, but he was already eager to give it a try.

"no problem."

Zhang Shuo readily agreed, "In order to produce "Black Myth", Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can set up a game studio independently, directly under the headquarters, and you will be the director of the studio and be fully responsible for the production matters."

Don't use the suspect, but don't use it.

Ma Tian is the thousand-mile horse, and Zhang Shuo is Bole, so naturally he will not intervene.

"I still need a sufficient budget." Martin continued.

"Sprout Holdings' initial budget for "Black Myth" is [-] million yuan, with a maximum of one billion yuan." Zhang Shuo was not arrogant, saying that there was no budget limit.

That Ma Tian is probably going to be like a runaway wild horse, maybe it will be a waste of time.

Zhang Shuo didn't want to be taken advantage of.

With the current profit level of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, [-] million may seem like a lot, but it is actually acceptable to spread it over the entire long production cycle.

Of course, from the perspective of Germination Holdings, it is still in the stage of rapid expansion. If the [-] million is used for investment, the future income will definitely be much higher than that of "Black Myth".

But no way.

As I said before, "Black Myth" pays for feelings.

I can only admit compensation!

"Finally, I still need technical support, especially the game engine. There are shortcomings in China." Martin also really doesn't know what it means to be humble.

Say what you think.

In the production of "Black Myth", besides the engine technology, the most difficult thing to handle is actually the motion capture technology, but Martin is going to tackle this problem by himself.

It's about accumulating experience.

"Didn't Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment build an engine research institute? Can it meet the development requirements of "Black Myth"?" Zhang Shuo turned to look at Cao Yanhua.

"It's hard."

Cao Yanhua is also telling the truth, "The research institute has just started, and the R&D personnel are not yet fully equipped. Let alone matching the 3A masterpieces like "Black Myth", there is still a certain gap in meeting the needs of mobile games."

Research and development has always been long-term, and it is difficult to produce results in the short term.

Not to mention newborn eggs.

"Game engine in the world, which company is the best?" Zhang Shuo asked again.

Since self-developed technology can't be solved, it can only rely on the advanced technology already available from abroad. Zhang Shuo has no psychological burden on the "bringing doctrine".

This is a valuable experience left by our ancestors.

"EPIC!" Cao Yanhua is very knowledgeable, "The Unreal Engine developed by this company is very good. "Black Myth" can be used directly, as long as you pay a fee."

He was obviously a little dissatisfied with Martin's request for a self-developed engine.

"If possible, it's better to be able to develop an engine independently, so that it can match "Black Myth" to the greatest extent and reduce bugs." Martin is an upright person.

Say something.

"Then find a way to invest in EPIC, obtain a part of the shares, and then negotiate with EPIC to set up a branch in China, and jointly develop the engine of "Black Myth" with us." Zhang Shuo is also arrogant.

In my memory.

Tenda also invested in EPIC in 2012, also for Unreal Engine.

"????"

Martin had a question mark on his face, obviously he was overwhelmed by the new boss.

"Okay, I will arrange someone to contact EPIC as soon as possible." Cao Yanhua is used to it.

In Cao Yanhua's view, investing in EPIC, even if it is not for the development of "Black Myth", is also a major benefit to other games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, and it is definitely worth it.

I just don’t know whether EPIC will accept the investment from Germination.

"When in contact with EPIC, you must pay attention to absolute confidentiality, and don't be disturbed by Tengda." Zhang Shuo reminded.

in his eyes.

The current Tengda is like a shit stick, so he has to beware.

"Do not worry!"

The failure of cooperation with Riot Games before was enough to arouse Cao Yanhua's vigilance.

"Then it's settled."

Once the general direction is set, Zhang Shuo is no longer going to continue to take care of it. Cao Yanhua will be responsible for the coordination and arrangement of the rest.

"Oh, right."

Before the conversation ended, Zhang Shuo finally asked Martin: "What name do you plan to call the new game studio?"

"Great Saint!"

Without even thinking about it, Martin blurted out, "Dasheng Game Studio."

"pretty good."

Zhang Shuo raised his brows slightly, yes, the butterfly fluttered its wings again.

…………

Wu Sheyuan's movements are very efficient.

Last Friday, Zhang Shuo mentioned to him that about the contact with Gu Mingzhang, Wu Sheyuan made an appointment with Gu Mingzhang on the weekend, and had the first tentative contact.

Then ran to the office to report to Zhang Shuo.

"Mr. Zhang, Gu Mingzhang told me that he still believes that Nokia can be brought back to life, and he has no plans to leave for the time being." Wu Sheyuan felt very ashamed.

The effect of the first contact is obviously not ideal.

"Bullshit!"

Zhang Shuo shook his head amusedly, "It is absolutely impossible for Nokia to make a comeback on smartphones. The decline has already appeared. In the next two or three years, it will only speed up its slide into the abyss, and it will never come back to life."

How is it so easy for an elephant to turn around in a narrow room?

maximum possible.

It's not a successful U-turn, but being stuck in the middle, neither left nor right.

Even burst the room.

"Maybe Gu Mingzhang is more confident."

Wu Sheyuan didn't understand where Zhang Shuo's self-confidence came from, nor did he know Gu Mingzhang's true thoughts.

It can only be ambiguous.

"That's impossible." Zhang Shuo shook his head again, "If Gu Mingzhang can't even see the decline of Nokia in the next two years, he doesn't deserve to be recruited by Germination. I guess this should be his excuse."

He believes that the system will not find the wrong person.

"Then I'll find another opportunity to have a good talk with Gu Mingzhang." Wu Sheyuan will not question Zhang Shuo's judgment, he just needs to find a way to implement Zhang Shuo's intention.

Stubbornness is pointless.

"We need to have a good talk. According to the situation you have been in contact with, Gu Mingzhang should be very alert now. When necessary, we can show our sincerity." Zhang Shuo reminded.

original time.

There is no Gu Mingzhang in the mobile phone circle.

This proves that Gu Mingzhang did not have a firm determination to start his own business, or perhaps due to some accidental factors, the business went bankrupt and ultimately failed.

Zhang Shuo is here to reverse this.

…………

Fast forward to Wednesday.

When he was about to get off work, Zhang Shuo accidentally received a call from Tang Yu.

"Third brother, the May Day holiday is coming soon, do you have any arrangements?"

"No arrangement."

Zhang Shuo was in a daze, unconsciously, it was almost May, "I guess he is staying at home."

"That's so boring." Tang Yu muttered.

"Tell me, what's your idea?"

Zhang Shuo didn't understand Tang Yu, he never went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"Hey, the four of us in the dormitory are going to play at the beach, do you want to come together?"

"Don't go!"

Zhang Shuo firmly refused.

What an international joke, given the degree of congestion in Binhai City, dumplings are usually served on the beach and crowded with people.It's going to be on the May Day holiday, so it's not like looking at the sea at all.

But look at the sea of ​​people.

"Third brother, don't you want to see Xiaoxi in a swimsuit?" Tang Yu said slyly.

"Cough." Zhang Shuo's expression was a little unnatural, and he said calmly: "If you want to go to the beach, you don't have to be in Binhai City. Go to Meiya, and I will arrange it."

Just in time to get out and relax.

"Okay, third brother is the best!" Tang Yu on the other end of the phone was very happy.
