Chapter 58 The First Letter of Authorization
The vice presidents of MORE VFX and ORANGE FX also came to Future Technology early.

MORE VFX deputy is always a woman in her early 30s, while ORANGE FX is a middle-aged man in his 40s.

Guo Yuan and Wang Hui invited them to the company's conference room.

"Mr. Guo, Mr. Wang, let me introduce myself. My name is Sun Xiuying, and I am the deputy general manager of MORE VFX." Sun Xiuying introduced herself generously.

A middle-aged man in his 40s also said, "Hi, my name is Hou Jianguo, and I am the deputy general manager of Orange FX."

Guo Yuan and Wang Hui also introduced themselves respectively.

After the self-introduction, Guo Yuan did not interfere with Wang Hui's follow-up negotiations, but minimized his sense of presence and left the rhythm to Wang Hui's control.

Seeing Guo Yuan's attitude, both Sun Xiuying and Hou Jianguo believed that Guo Yuan was a boss who specialized in technology and didn't understand management.

Their negotiation today was mainly with Wang Hui.

And Guo Yuan had already told Wang Hui about his bottom line.

The performance of any of the three versions of Starry Sky Engine is much higher than those of foreign game engines, which can greatly save manpower and material resources. The cost saved by using Starry Sky Engine is definitely not a small amount.

According to Guo Yuan's idea, the first version of Star Engine is intended to be sold directly to the public, using a payment method similar to paid membership.

Now the mainstream 3D image production software on the market is almost 7000 to 8000 a year.

Guo Yuan intends to set the commercial price of the first version of Star Engine at 4999 a year.

And the second version will be charged in the way of sharing like Unreal 5.

On this basis, Guo Yuan directly formulated the sales model of the second version of Starry Sky Engine.

If this version of the starry sky engine is used for game development, [-]% of the game sales will be charged as a copyright fee.

Movie special effects production is also [-]% of the income of special effects companies.

This price is indeed much higher than the current Unreal Engine in the world.

When Guo Yuan proposed this price, Wang Hui objected at first, because the most powerful Unreal Engine on the market now only charges 5.00% of game sales as copyright fees, and the share of special effects production authorization for movies is also 5.00%. How dare you charge [-]% directly?

Originally, the star engine is a newcomer entering the market. If you want to open up new markets and break the monopoly, it's fine if you don't lower the price. Why do you want to increase the price?
For Wang Hui's question, Guo Yuan explained it with actions. After he showed Wang Hui the performance of the star engine, Wang Hui was completely silent.

Not to mention other things, Star Engine can completely explode the strongest Unreal Engine on the market in terms of industry-leading performance and greatly shortened production cycle.

It is reasonable for Guo Yuan to collect game sales and [-]% copyright fees from film special effects production companies.

After all, game companies using Starry Sky Engine can not only reduce game production costs, but also continue to launch well-made 3A game masterpieces in a short period of time, and their sales will definitely show a straight-line upward trend.

The same is true for film special effects companies. With the star engine, they can greatly save human material resources, and the cost saved is more than that.

After listening to the pricing given by Guo Yuan, Wang Hui understood that Guo Yuan never thought of making money from the poor, so the pricing of the first version of Starry Sky Engine was so close to the people.

His target is game production manufacturers and major special effects production companies.

In the future, Future Technology will mainly promote the second version of Starry Sky Engine.

As for whether anyone has used the first version of Star Engine to make a movie or something, there must be.

But the performance gap between the first version of Starry Sky Engine and the second version is more than ten times.

For the same production, you are reluctant to spend money to use the second version of the starry sky engine. With such a huge gap in the quality of the finished product, which user will pay for it?
Guo Yuan reckons that once Starry Sky Engine is officially released, the first version will probably be used by domestic 3D animation production companies at most.

How much money do animations have?Many animation companies are struggling to make ends meet and are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Regardless of the placement of advertisements or paid derivative works of content, they are bound to be incomparable with games and movies.

Of course, if you are an animated movie, the kind that goes to theaters, you must still buy the second edition.

Just as Wang Hui thought, Guo Yuan never thought of making money from the poor from the beginning to the end.

The price of the first version of Starry Sky Engine was set at 4999, so that the "poor" could afford Starry Sky Engine.

However, Wang Hui still felt that asking for 10% from the beginning was not conducive to the company's product promotion.

So the two discussed and decided that for any company, the share fee for using the second version of Starry Sky Engine in the first year will be discounted by 5%, which is [-]%.

After the second year, the original price will be restored by 10%.

Wang Hui and the two general managers of MORE VFX and ORANGE FX also said the same.

The two looked at each other when they heard the words, everyone here is old Jianghu, who doesn't know who!
Future Technology's daring to set such a price fully shows that they are very, very confident in their products.

Future Technology feels that as long as they have used their products for one year, they will continue to use them even if the price doubles in the future.

This made the two deputy general managers of MORE VFX and ORANGE FX more curious about the star engine.

Before they came, they were told by their respective bosses that even if the share was higher than the market, they had to obtain the authorization of Starry Sky Engine.

Now that Future Technology dared to set such a price, it fully demonstrated its confidence in its own products. The two did not hesitate at this moment, and signed a one-year licensing contract as Wang Hui said.

After the first deal was concluded, Wang Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, the first step of the star engine was successfully taken.

"Boss, we are cooperating with the special effects company of Wandering Earth 2. Will it be of great help to us when Wandering Earth 2 is released?" Wang Hui asked.

"Well, Director Guo should still be on the road show at that time, and help me promote it when the movie is screened, and there should be a lot of orders in the future.

Before that, we need to make some preparations in advance to further increase the popularity of Star Engine. "

Wang Hui was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, boss, what, there is no money in our company account."

"No money? Why so fast?"

"You put 200 million in the company account at the beginning, and it cost 110 million to renew the contract for this office, and the monthly salary was more than 40, and our income during this period was 0."

"So during this period, the net loss was more than 140 million?"

Wang Hui nodded.

Guo Yuan sighed, he suddenly understood why Wu Tianyu's 5000 million yuan was burned out in less than 2 years.

"Even if this is the case, we have to do it. We already have a star engine, and now it is the darkness before dawn."
