China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 532 The headline was snatched again
In the entertainment industry in October, the person who makes the most headlines must have a place in the entertainment industry.

Since September, the media has exposed the underground relationship between Wang Banbi and Zhang Ziyi. The two have been photographed checking into hotels many times.

By the way, Xiaosa was also on the hot search list.

After all, Zhang Ziyi and Xiao Sa had just broken up not long ago.

Because of this incident, Zeng Li also made headlines.

She and Zhang Ziyi were classmates in Class 96, and their boyfriends/husbands are both singers, so it was inevitable that they would be compared.

I don’t know what Zhang Ziyi thought when she saw the netizen discussion.

There is no doubt that Zhang Ziyi is a very ambitious woman, and being ambitious is not a bad thing.

Without ambition, she would not have been able to prosper in the past few years.

At first, Lu Yuan didn't know about this until someone in the crew heard about it and he learned that Feng Zilian had been exposed.

Maybe the general public doesn't know much about "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", but gamers have been looking forward to this game for a long time.

On December 2013, 12, the national server of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was officially launched!
Official version price: 89 yuan.

Creativity is not protected by patents anyway.

The peak number of people online at the same time in a single day once reached 45.

The overseas version of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has been in the top three of Steam's online user rankings for three consecutive weeks.

At 9:30 p.m., Changhe Games and Tencent News jointly announced the launch of the national server of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

……

If nothing else, the surprise came.

11 month 9 number.

Domestic game manufacturers have already begun to develop similar games.

Although among the 40+ players, there are probably many domestic players, but even so, this is a hit game that can be seen with the naked eye.

No one can steal the headlines!
however.

The name has been changed, the UI has been changed, but the core logic remains the same.

At the Magic City concert, Wang Banbi published an 8-minute love confession to Zhang Ziyi in the audience, which was no less than an official announcement of their relationship.

Although they are all in the circle, Lu Yuan doesn't have much interaction with them on weekdays.

In less than half an hour, Feng Zilian’s entry ranked first among the most popular searches on all major platforms.

If I don’t call it PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, I’ll call it “Peace Elite” instead. There’s no problem, right?

Discount price for the first month of service: 69 yuan.

Regardless of everything else, the two were actually quite a match. Unfortunately, the marriage ended in divorce.

On Steam, 40+ people are online at the same time, which is already a phenomenal game. Counter-Strike, which once covered the world, has an average daily online number of 25+.

Nearly twice that of "Counter-Strike", second only to DOTA2, which has always topped the list.

Isn't it just a battle royale?

simple.

There are some ways to do this, even activating 'copy' mode.

Poaching!
It would be better if you can bring out part of the code.

Developing a game from scratch, an FPS game, is not that fast.

When they develop it, the soup will not be as hot as it is.

However, Changhe Games has extremely strict management of source code, and all employees are not allowed to take their computers home.

When you leave the company, you are off duty and have no other tasks.

Even if you want to secretly copy the code in the company, that is not realistic.

Lu Yuan couldn't stop others from copying, but the code leaks must be stopped!

The development cycle of others is the best time for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" to seize the market.

And this is one of the reasons why Changhe Games can’t wait to launch the national server.

Another reason is that Tengxun is very sincere.

Revenue is at 73%.

Changhe Games takes 70% of the channel fee, while Tengxun charges 30% of the channel fee, and Tengxun is responsible for the game operating expenses.

of course.

Tengxun is not without strings attached.

Penguin is targeting Changhe Games’ next product.

A stand-alone game - "The Wandering Earth". Among the many domestic IPs, "The Wandering Earth" was definitely born with a silver spoon in its mouth. It had a super production team with US$1.5 million as soon as it was launched.

In addition to movies, a stand-alone game based on "The Wandering Earth" is also under development.

The development cycle of "The Wandering Earth" is expected to be about five years, which is a huge project.

no way.

The game development cycle is so long.

A lot of time.

A lot of resources.

A lot of money.

The three combined together are referred to as 'triple A' games.

Since it wants 3A, the investment will definitely not be low. According to the budget of the first version, the development cost of the stand-alone version of "The Wandering Earth" will be at least US$1.5 million.

This much money is enough to film "The Wandering Earth 2".

Fortunately, the US$1.5 million is not a one-time investment, but a non-stop investment of US$5 million per year for five years.

Converted into RMB, it’s about 2 million.

Moreover, this money does not need to be invested by Boss Lu. So far, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has sold 120 million copies on Steam.

The initial sales were basically contributed by Lu Yuan's fans.

As the game becomes popular, subsequent sales will come from serious gamers.

Excluding Steam’s commission, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” has brought in sales revenue of US$2500 million.

In other words, one quarter after the game was launched, half of the development costs have been recovered.

When the national area goes online, I am afraid that I will be able to directly recover the capital, and every remaining sale will be a pure profit.

After the mall system is launched, you will earn even more.

After several years of hard work, Boss Lu finally had the time to make money while lying down, although he could no longer hide the fact that he was the boss of a gaming company.

But, it doesn't matter anymore.

After making so much money, it doesn't matter if I get scolded.

It can only be said that Lu Yuan is becoming more and more like a capitalist. Fortunately, his conscience is still intact. Before signing the agency contract, Changhe Games clearly required that a strict anti-addiction system must be designed.

This is the premise!

Because he is also afraid of the children's parents.

Shanda and Tengxun have been complained so badly by their children's parents that they have been in the news countless times, although Lu Yuan knows that he will also be in the news in the future.

But it can’t be too frequent, right?
……

Magic City.

Kempinski Hotel.

"Brother Feng, our headlines are gone!"

Seeing that the number one hot search on Weibo was [PUBG National Server Launched], Zhang Ziyi quickly shouted towards the bathroom.

"what?"

Wang Banbi was taking a shower and didn't hear much.

Zhang Ziyi shook her head slightly, walked to the bathroom door wearing slippers, and then opened the doorway.

"I said, our headlines are gone."

"what?"

Wang Banbi paused and the headlines disappeared?

What happened?
With their two famous names combined, they actually grabbed the headlines?

“Who stole the headlines?”

"A game called PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

Zhang Ziyi sighed: "I just checked and found that this game was developed by a company under Lu Yuan's name. It is said that it is quite popular abroad."

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?"

Wang Banbi muttered something in a low voice. This name seemed a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Yes!

The musician who accompanied him had talked about this game, and they often played together after get off work.
