Chapter 450 Hu Hansan is Back (Part [-])
In the morning of the next day, Li Zetian drove to Blizzard Company. Damn, he saw a large group of reporters standing outside the building from afar.

"I learned that Blizzard is going to shoot "StarCraft: Uprising", and they are all here for interviews..." Li Zetian murmured, and the Rolls-Royce drove to the underground garage, ready to take the elevator directly up from there.

As soon as Li Zetian got out of the car, he saw a little boy eating a hamburger not far away staring at him with big round eyes, and suddenly ran away after a while.

"Mama, Mama, hurry up and see, it's alive, I saw a real Chronos Li!!!" The little boy ran to a red Ferrari and shouted excitedly, a middle-aged man The women seem to be carrying something in the car.

Li Zetian touched his nose, what a strange thing to say.

……

Taking the elevator to the floor where Blizzard is located, Mike Mohan and others hurried out to greet him.

"Mr. Li, hello!" Mike Mohan stretched out his hand and smiled,

"Well," Li Zetian nodded and shook hands, then looked around and found that everyone was looking at him, Li Zetian smiled at everyone, "How are you, is your work hard?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison: "No hard work!!"

Li Zetian nodded slightly, and then, led by Mike Mohan, came to his office.

As soon as he sat down, Li Zetian asked about the movie "StarCraft: Uprising".

"Top Hollywood screenwriters have been invited to work with Blizzard staff to write the script. As for the director of this movie, we originally wanted to invite James Cameron to direct," Mike Mohan sighed slightly, "Unfortunately, James Director Cameron was working on another film and declined."

James Cameron should be preparing for "Avatar", Li Zetian thought to himself, this is a very powerful movie, the investment is less than 3 million US dollars, and it has swept the global box office of nearly 30 billion US dollars. It was a sensation and became a phenomenon-level movie.

James Cameron is really hanging!
Mike Mohan said: "Since James Cameron did not agree to direct this film, we can only hire other directors. In fact, our film has such a large investment, and it is adapted from a game. Many directors were very interested and recommended themselves, including director Steven Spielberg. He once hoped to direct "Star Wars", but never got the chance. "StarCraft" is a film that does not have the slightest Lost to the masterpiece of "Star Wars", and we also believe in Steven Spielberg's ability as a great director, so we decided to let him direct the film!"

Li Zetian nodded and said, "Well, I'm very relieved that Steven Spielberg will be the director. By the way, this time, I have another matter to discuss with you." Li Zetian paused and asked: "Mohan, do you know about EVE Online?"

Mike Mohan nodded and said: "I know a little bit, it is a new game launched by Icelandic game developer (CCP) in May this year. It takes the grand space as the background, highly integrates hard science fiction elements, and presents an extremely free virtual universe for players. Sandbox world. Various activities can be carried out in the sandbox universe of the game, including mining, industrial manufacturing, scientific research, financial trade, exploration of archaeology, etc..."

Li Zetian said: "Don't you think it's cool to develop "StarCraft" into "StarCraft Online?"

Mike Mohan thought about it.

……

Since the news that "StarCraft" was going to be made into a movie came out, game makers were very popular for a while.

Shanghai, China.

Shanda Company welcomed an important guest today, Chen Tianqiao and a large number of company executives all came to the door to welcome him.

Ah, I, Hu Hansan, am here again!
Sun Zhengyi raised his head and chest, and with a smile on his face, he walked into Shanda Company under the compliments of everyone in Chen Tianqiao.

"Mr. Sun's presence makes our Shanda company flourish!" Chen Tianqiao laughed.

Sun Zhengyi chuckled and said: "Mr. Chen, "Legend" has written the myth of the Chinese game industry, and even once surpassed "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike". Using the means of empty hands and white wolves to successfully make "Legend" work in China, this is what I admire most about you!"

Hearing this, Chen Tianqiao felt very proud. Back then, Shanda Company only had US$30. own broadband and computer room, otherwise, how could there be today's Shanda Company?

Chen Tianqiao was proud of himself, but he said: "Haha, Mr. Sun is absurd. Compared with you, it is not worth mentioning! Under your wise leadership, Softbank has become a Fortune [-] company!"

People in flowery sedan chairs carry people and flatter each other.

After a while, I came to the office.

Sun Zhengyi said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I admire you very much, so I plan to invest in Shanda Company!"

Chen Tianqiao was overjoyed, even though he had already guessed that Sun Zhengyi would invest in Shanda Company.

"Mr. Sun, how much do you plan to invest?"

Sun Zhengyi thought to himself, the popularity of game adaptation movies is indeed a development direction in the future.Shanda is famous in China and can be called synonymous with the Chinese game industry, second only to Flamingo in China.Although "Legend of Hot Blood" suffered heavy losses due to foreign abduction and private servers, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and it is still one of the most popular games in China.It is said that Shanda's independent development of "Legendary World" has been completed and will be launched soon.

"Softbank invested 1 million US dollars in Shanda, and Shanda Group can sell 25% of the shares." At this time, Sun Zhengyi said, invest more, get more shares of Shanda Company, and increase SoftBank's voice in Shanda Group .

Hearing this, everyone in Chen Tianqiao was shocked.

It is rumored that Masayoshi Son of Softbank is decisive and domineering, and it is true!
Chen Tianqiao and the others looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.

The Shanda in this life is not as rich as the Shanda in the previous life, and now he urgently needs huge funds for turnover.In addition, as long as there is money, Shanda can go to South Korea to represent more games and make more money!
Sun Zhengyi's tempting offer is simply irresistible!
Chen Tianqiao and the others were all moved.

"Ahem, Mr. Sun, Shanda Group is willing to accept SoftBank's investment!" Chen Tianqiao stretched out his hand and smiled.

"It's a pleasant cooperation. I believe that with the support of Softbank, Shanda Group will definitely become one of the best game companies in the world!"

At noon, Masayoshi Son signed the investment agreement with Chen Tianqiao on behalf of Softbank, which was amazingly fast.

"Look, Mr. Sun, it's already noon, I'm the host, I invite you to dinner, don't refuse!" Chen Tianqiao said.

Sun Zhengyi nodded with a smile.

……

In the box of a star-rated hotel, there was a lot of toasting.

Sun Zhengyi was happy for his successful investment in Shanda Company. He raised his glass and said: "Mr. Chen, Shanda Group can grow rapidly with this investment. I hope you will continue to work hard to create brilliance and become the largest game company in China!!!"

"Thank you Mr. Sun for your good words!" Chen Tianqiao's face was flushed red, and he didn't know if it was excitement or drinking.

At this time, Chen Tianqiao was in high spirits, as if seeing Shanda Group aspiring to be the overlord of the Chinese game industry.

In the past, Flamingo Company was like an unattainable mountain in his eyes, but since "Legend of Blood" defeated "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike" and became the most popular game in China, Chen Tianqiao's thoughts have changed. That changed, and the Flamingo Company isn't unbeatable.If there is one, there will be two. If Shanda can defeat Flamingo once, it can defeat it a second time!

Shanda Group invested heavily in the development of "Legendary World" and gave them great expectations. Although "Legendary World" plagiarized "Legend of Blood", so what?

Sun Zhengyi put down his wine glass and asked, "Mr. Chen, when will "Legendary World" be officially released?"

"Night of November 11th!!" Chen Tianqiao said.

Sun Zhengyi suddenly thought of something, and muttered: "The first online game "World of Warcraft" developed by Blizzard seems to be open for testing on November 11?"

Chen Tianqiao smiled confidently: "Haha, Mr. Sun don't have to worry, everyone in Shanda Company is optimistic about "World of Legend". If "World of Warcraft" comes to China, it will only be crushed by "World of Legend"!"

In Chen Tianqiao's view, "Legendary World" was adapted from "Legend of Blood", and "World of Warcraft" was adapted from "Warcraft".In the Chinese game market, "Legend" has the largest number of players.
