Chapter 705 Atari

After the meeting, Li Xuemei said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, regarding Atari's acquisition of the copyright of the Alien ET game, Universal Pictures Group is urging our group to make a decision as soon as possible. If our group does not want it, they will Will be sold to Atari."

Since the box office of Alien ET became popular in the world last year, Atari, an American game giant, has taken a fancy to this film and game adaptation rights.

Now all the copyrights of Alien ET are in the hands of Spielberg, Jiayi Group and Universal Pictures Group, of which Universal Pictures Group holds the highest share, so their group is in charge.

Since last year, the American home game console market has begun to decline, and the rise of personal computers has severely squeezed the home game console market. There is even a rumor that "you are buying a computer for your child to go to college. It’s better to buy a game console that makes children lose their minds.”

Atari itself does not have an epoch-making game, and their business has been severely squeezed by Xingyu Group. They also saw that Alien ET is very popular all over the world, so they hoped to acquire its game copyright and put It was developed to reverse Atari's current unfavorable situation.

The Xingyu Group's delay for so long is because they don't know how the alien ET was developed. They asked Li Guangyu about this matter.

It’s just that Li Guangyu doesn’t know much about this. He remembers that the most powerful game companies are all from Japan. Many of the games he played when he was young were also developed by several major Japanese game companies. He has never heard of Atari’s powerful products. Come out.

Li Guangyu asked Li Xuemei to procrastinate on this issue, and at the same time to understand some of the situation. This time, Atari was really willing to spend a lot of money, and the patent fee for the purchase of the game copyright had already reached 2400 million US dollars.

This is also the reason why Universal Pictures Group urged Xingyu Group this time. Universal Pictures Group has already been moved by such a high patent fee. If it was not for the reason of cooperation with Jiayi Group, they would have agreed to Atari's proposal acquired.

Li Guangyu asked: "What about the results of your evaluation, is there any possibility of this game being a big hit?"

"Li Sheng, this time we have relatively big internal differences. One side thinks that the alien ET has great influence in the world, and making it into a game will definitely be popular. The other side thinks that this is just a happy movie. It is not playable, and game fans will not buy such a plot game. High copyright fees and games without quality are not worth our investment.”

Li Guangyu thought about it for a while, and there was no news about Atari in the later generations. He guessed that when they invested in this, it was a waste of money.That being the case, simply let them develop it, and the group is still developing its own game as planned.

Li Guangyu said: "Xuemei, our Xingyu Group gave up the purchase of the copyright of Alien ET and gave them to Atari. We will focus on the development of the series of games planned by our group. As for Atari's ability to It depends on their luck whether to use this to turn around."

Li Xuemei saw that Li Guangyu gave up the acquisition of this copyright. She estimated that Atari would be miserable this time. Based on her understanding of Li Guangyu, if the game development could make money, Li Guangyu would never give it up to Atari. .

As for whether Li Guangyu's judgment is accurate, Li Xuemei has never doubted in these years. The investment was still ordered by Li Guangyu.

Super Golden Harvest invested countless financial resources and energy in the United States, but the profits they earned in the end were not as good as they made from investing in this movie. This is the gap.

After Li Guangyu left, Li Xuemei notified Han Huiyi, the general manager of the administration department, and asked her to arrange a time to reply to Universal Pictures Group.

……

At 3:16 am on March 09, Los Angeles time, Universal Pictures Group President Joe Johnson Candy received a report from the manager of the group's administration department about Starwoo Group's withdrawal from the copyright acquisition.

He also felt down about this. Although Alien ET's box office boom has brought very rich returns to the group, the US market has been relatively sluggish in the past few years, and their group's life is not easy. He also hopes to be able to do so as soon as possible. After completing this transaction, they can have a capital income again.

And he knew very well that the Xingyu Group didn't have much sincerity in purchasing this copyright at all. If it wasn't for Atari's sudden purchase of this copyright, after letting Jiayi Group know about it, Xingyu Group would come over and plug in a piece of copyright. Feet, dragged the time for more than half a year.

Moreover, Qiao Johnson Candy is very aware of Xingyu Game Group's financial resources. If they really intend to acquire the game copyright of Alien ET, they will not delay it until now.

Li's consortium is very efficient, and this time it obviously does not conform to their style of work.

Now he can finally contact Atari. The copyright fee made Qiao Johnson very happy, and Universal Pictures Group can make a lot of money again.

He said to the general manager of the administrative department: "You contact Atari and tell us that we have agreed to their conditions for the acquisition of the alien ET copyright."

In the office of Atari's chairman, Tim Allens, the company's chairman, hasn't felt at ease in more than a year.

The Xingyu Game Group is putting more and more pressure on them. Even cross-industry computer companies are also attacking their market, causing Atari's performance to continue to decline.

And the acquisition of the copyright of the adaptation of the Alien ET game made him even more upset. Xingyu Group came to intervene, making it impossible for them to acquire it, which made his idea of ​​seeking to change the company's status quo always unable to be implemented.

While he was thinking about how the company would develop in the future, an employee came in and reported to him: "Chairman, just now Universal Pictures Group called and they accepted our company's acquisition conditions for the copyright of the alien ET game, please We arranged for personnel to go over to conduct follow-up discussions on this matter.”

Listening to the report of the company staff, Tim Allens was also excited. After more than half a year, he finally won the copyright of Alien ET. He believed that this movie would not disappoint him. With the support of a huge number of movie fans, as long as Atari develops the game, the situation of Atari will be completely reversed.

Tim Allens said: "Go and reply to Universal Pictures Group, our company's negotiators will go to Los Angeles this afternoon, and we will negotiate with them tomorrow."

This employee is well aware of how much the chairman of the board has worked hard in the past six months to win the copyright of this film and game adaptation, and now he has finally achieved a good result, so it is rare to see him with such a relaxed expression today.

She replied: "Chairman, I'm going to reply to Universal Pictures Group. Do you have any special advice?"

"After you reply to Universal Pictures Group, inform our company's senior management and the heads of the game R&D department to hold a meeting in one hour."

This time it's time for Atari to do a big job again. He hopes that this movie adaptation game will allow their company to replicate the miracle of 77 years.
