China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 361 Liu Bei borrows money from Jingzhou

The lanterns are on.

Boss Lu returned home smelling of alcohol. He couldn't stop the drinking party tonight.

Fortunately, he had an excuse to protect his throat, otherwise, he would never have thought of leaving the box standing.

On the way home, Boss Lu called Brother Ma and confirmed tomorrow's itinerary.

Yes.

Tomorrow, he has to go to Goose City.

Although the main body of cooperation with Shanda is Morningstar Fund, strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with Xingchen Media or its shareholder Tencent.

But for that reason, it’s okay to lie to your buddies, but don’t lie to yourself.

At this time, Lu Yuan was like a scumbag walking between two women, flirting with the person he shouldn't.

It is definitely necessary to explain it to the ‘Main Palace’.

However, this trip to Goose City was more than just explanations.

That's just incidental.

The real thing is cooperation, or borrowing people.

Boss Lu plans to talk to Brother Ma about games and ideals.

A battle royale game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" directly made Bluehole earn tens of billions, and the company's valuation was once as high as 170 billion RMB.

Who wouldn’t be greedy for this money?

Boss Lu must be greedy!

Therefore, he gave full play to the spirit of "stealing the country".

Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body!

Across the long river of time, steal the 'chicken'!

This time when he went to Tengxun, Boss Lu planned to imitate Uncle Liu Huang and stage a modern version of "Liu Bei borrows Jingzhou".

Borrow and never repay!

of course.

Lu Yuan would not tell the truth stupidly. He would only tell Brother Xiao Ma that he was going to develop an FPS game, and it would be a stand-alone game.

It's a buyout system.

Hearing the three big words "buyout system", Xiao Ma probably lost interest.

Everyone understands the domestic stand-alone game environment.

Developing a triple-A masterpiece?

A dead end!

To take a step back, even if Xiao Ma knows the subsequent development content of the game, Tengxun may not necessarily like "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

People who stand from God’s perspective naturally know how popular ‘eating chicken’ is.

However, no one can predict the future.

Why did Shanda spend more than 9000 million US dollars to acquire the parent company that developed "Dragon Nest"? Is it because Shanda people are stupid and have too much money?

Obviously not.

From the current perspective, compared with other online games on the market, whether it is in terms of graphics, operability, or gameplay, "Dragon Nest" lags behind similar competing products.

A big hit visible to the naked eye!

In fact, the public beta of "Dragon Nest" was indeed extremely popular, but no one expected that "Dragon Nest" would cool down so quickly and so violently.

Just like when NetEase developed "Fantasy Westward Journey", when the project was first established, NetEase internally did not expect that "Dream Westward Journey" would become popular.

The predecessor of "Dream", "Westward Journey" is almost out of date. The development of "Dream" was purely based on the attitude of using waste.

As a result, "Fantasy" unexpectedly became popular all over the country, and it remained popular for more than ten years.

therefore.

The development of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" needs to be kept secret, but there is no need to exhaust all means to guard against it.

That's not realistic.

For this game, Lu Yuan expects to invest 500 million to 1000 million US dollars, and the development cycle will be about two to three years.

Before this, he also consulted professionals.

With the current mainstream Unreal Engine 3, you can create the expected scenes.

The real difficulty lies in processing the game data of hundreds of people at the same time, which is a bit difficult for teams developing stand-alone games.

But for technicians with experience in online game development, it's probably just like that.

In the PVP mode of online games, the data of a hundred-person team battle is processed in the same way.

I was curious, but unfortunately, Tengxun was a company specializing in online games, and I 'borrowed' people from him who were professional counterparts.

The second difficulty in developing "Absolute Survival" is the adjustment of various numerical parameters. Parameters such as character interaction, vehicle driving, gun trajectories, etc. all need to be as consistent as possible with realistic physical parameters.

There are no tricks to these problems, they can only be overcome bit by bit.

At last.

Optimization is also a delicate job. The optimization of the first version of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is comparable to Cyberpunk 2077. How many good resources can eat you to death.

Poor optimization is also a consistent tradition of Xiaobangzi.

If Lu Yuan wants to develop, he definitely can't bear such poor optimization. Anyway, he is not in a hurry, and it is not a big deal if the development cycle is longer.

He can afford to wait for a development cycle of two to three or four years. The finished product will be released in 13 or 14, just in time for the popularity of smartphones and the launch of 4G networks.

Then, came the rise of live streaming.

The popularity of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is also directly related to the rise of live streaming.

As soon as the storm hit, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" took off directly from the spot.

Foreign countries rely on the Steam platform, and domestically rely on Tencent. Both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong. What if the annual revenue is less than 5 million US dollars?

The character for Lu Yuan is written upside down!

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can last for at least seven or eight years.

This cash cow is also Lu Yuan's weapon against the invasion of capital into the film and television industry!

Without gold mines, there is really no way to stop that group of capital.

……

……

The next day.

Lu Yuan visited Tengxun again.

Not surprisingly, Brother Ma didn't care at all about Lu Yuan's cooperation with Shanda.

Tengxun's current main front is still in the social field. QQ, bib, portal website, and Weixin, which is under development, are the core fundamentals.

Next in line are games.

The third sequence is investment, mergers and acquisitions, looking for potential game studios globally, and then buying them! Buy it! Buy it!

Entertainment?

Not even ranked in the fourth sequence.

The fourth sequence within Penguin is QQ Doctor, or QQ Butler.

Tengxun launches protective products, which only trigger passive skills to increase the height of the moat.

But for 360, QQ Doctor seems to be the number one enemy. After all, Tengxun’s user radiation range is too wide.

With one bundled download, you can access the computer hard drives of thousands of households.

360 relies on the permanent free strategy to directly crush paid anti-virus software such as Kingsoft Antivirus, Kaspersky, and Rising Antivirus.

A dominant family is often the beginning of gangsterism.

Now, 360 has met its opponent.

War is imminent.

At this critical moment, how can Xiao Ma pay attention to animation incubation?

"You want to develop a stand-alone game?"

When he heard that Lu Yuan was going to 'borrow' someone to develop an FPS game, Xiao Ma's first reaction was not rejection, but surprise.

"Correct."

Lu Yuan nodded and said: "For online stand-alone games like "Call of Duty 4" and "Left 2 Dead " overseas, I plan to use the steam platform."

"Here in China, if the development is completed, I have to ask Brother Ma to help."

"It's a small thing to help."

Brother Ma smiled slightly: "However, I can't make the decision on the loan you mentioned. After all, I have to consider the opinions of the employees."

"Okay, let me say hello to Mr. Liu and ask him to talk to the backbone of the CF project team. If there is a suitable candidate, I will recommend it to you, okay?"

"Thank you, Brother Marco!"

Lu Yuan clasped his hands together and said, "I'm very grateful that you are willing to help. Brother Ma is right. The personal opinions of employees must be fully considered."

"I was negligent in this regard."

Appropriately leaving some room for others to give guidance is also a social means.
