Restart the Gaming Era

Director Xie himself is not a star producer, and has not done any particularly successful projects. The only thing worth mentioning is probably "Learning the World" and millions of coins, which is not normal. game.

The senior management obviously did not trust Director Xie and the project's ability to develop conventional games, so he was unwilling to invest.

Zhong Ming can write a detailed design concept draft to get it, but think about it, forget it, even if you write it, the chance is not great.

If it is a relatively large investment game, such as some boutique bracelet games, computer games, etc., the company will never approve. Even if the design draft is well written, it is estimated that the company will directly take it to some experienced teams to develop , Will not be handed to Director Xie.

If it ’s a small game, you have to make features that are completely different from games on the market. But in that case, in the eyes of the company's top executives, it may be the game of cricket moths. There is no previous successful experience for reference at all, and most of them are still not approved.

Therefore, the current situation is regarded as unsolvable, and Zhong Ming is not able to win it at all.

In this case, it is better to earn two months of bonuses calmly, and then slowly find better opportunities.

Of course, the best way to avoid these idleness is to start your own company, open a studio, and do your own projects, but the threshold in this world is very high.

To make a very ordinary bracelet game by yourself, you need at least one office location, about 30 employees, and the shortest development time is two or three months. Taking into account some of the resources in the game and the promotion after the game is launched, the minimum investment is also two or three million.

Indie games are much cheaper, but the risks are much greater.

Where the money comes from is a question.

Do it yourself? It is still very difficult for Zhong Ming to earn two or three million by himself, because he doesn't want to sell the paintings and music in his hand.

A better approach is to find venture capital, or to be attached to a large company. Of course, there are other problems in doing this, that is, they will be subject to others, and someone will always point and draw on your head, which is very unpleasant.

Moreover, VC is not something that can be pulled. People's VC companies don't just grab money from people on the street. If you want to get money, you have to rely on eloquence and qualifications.

Zhong Ming graduated more than two months and has a qualification in wool.

Is ability important? Of course it is important. In fact, the venture capital side also hopes to see the capabilities of each producer, but this stuff is false.

Therefore, some producers with successful projects, although not capable, can rely on their qualifications and flicker to deceive investors. Of course, these are just the corners of the chaos of the game circle, which is not surprising.

Still earning the bonus at hand, this is serious business.

...

Zhong Ming was touching the fish, and a small group of three people from the internal chat software sent a message.

Zhou Sen: "Zhong Ming, what's the matter, can I go to your project?"

Zhong Ming replied: "I told Director Xie that the problem should not be too big. However, the new project is estimated to be yellow, and I didn't agree with us to do a regular game, and it was not approved.

Zhou Sen: "Okay, then I will wait beautifully to move."

Two minutes later, Jiang Wanna also replied: "Then I will stay in" Mecha Age "first. Oh yes, Zhong Ming, have you heard about the virtual idol contest?"

"Virtual idol contest?" Zhong Ming froze for a moment, "I haven't heard it."

Jiang Wanna sent a link along the way: "If you click in, do the three of us want to cooperate?"

Zhou Sen: "Cooperation and cooperation, no interest. What virtual idols are all lie to your group of female fans, there is no technical content at all, I am a serious programmer and usually have to work hard to learn programming knowledge. These moths. "

"Oh, that's a pity. I think there is a half-million yuan bonus for the third prize." Jiang Wanna replied.

"Huh? Third prize of 500,000 yuan? What about the first prize?" Zhou Sen asked.

Zhong Ming looked at it: "First prize of 2 million yuan, and responsible for the subsequent copyright operation of the virtual image, there will be a share of income as appropriate."

Zhou Sen: "... Okay, add me. Which company does such a big deal?"

Jiang Wanna was speechless: "You click in and take a look at it, it's written on the website."

Zhong Ming was also browsing the page of the virtual idol competition, and found that the organizer of this competition knew that it was Xinghua Mutual Entertainment.

Although Xinghua Mutual Entertainment is also an interactive entertainment company, its main focus is on virtual idols, which are involved in film, television, songs, dance and so on. The game also does, but not the main business.

In terms of volume, it is much larger than the mutual entertainment of Lightwing.

Xinghua Mutual Entertainment is regarded as a large company in the world, and many of its virtual idols for Huaxia, such as Su Bai, are regulars at virtual idol concerts in major cities. And virtual idols like Dina also have a good influence in other districts.

Similar virtual idol competitions are held every year, but this time the battle is bigger.

This time, four awards were set up. The first prize was 2 million, the second prize was 1 million, and the third prize was 500,000. Www.readwn.com.

Each stall award also has additional follow-up copyright operation and promotion agreements. In short, if this award is received, the subsequent income will definitely not be less.

And the most important point is that there are two options for this competition. One is the copyright buyout, which is to directly sell the copyright of the virtual idol to Xinghua Interactive Entertainment. If the prize is won, the bonus will be doubled, that is, 2 million first prizes changed to 4 million! And the subsequent income is also a lot. Xinghua Huyu will definitely spare no effort to help promote it; the other is to retain the copyright and simply participate in the competition, and still receive bonuses, but the subsequent promotion, copyright operation, etc. Talking.

In this kind of virtual idol contest, many event organizers default to buy out the copyright of the entries directly, which is relatively overbearing. Xinghua Mutual Entertainment is relatively enlightened this time.

After all, the money is thick, so it can attract more people to participate, and can also give yourself a good name.

Strictly speaking, Xinghua Mutual Entertainment's behavior this time is considered to be the best buy of horse bones.

Xinghua Mutual Entertainment is so sure, will the first prize winning works deserve these bonuses? Not necessarily. How could the virtual idols chosen by the private sector be better than the virtual idols made by professionals in Xinghua Mutual Entertainment?

But the key is an attitude. Xinghua Mutual Entertainment used this event to promote its company and its virtual idols, and at the same time, it can attract various talents who want to enter the industry.

Zhou Sen thought about it: "Well, three of us, one is responsible for design, one is responsible for modeling, and one is responsible for the program. It's barely possible. But ... do you feel the disadvantages? Everybody's great virtual idols are used It ’s motion capture, and we need to develop special artificial intelligence programs for different personalities. We do n’t seem to be sure. ”
