Monday, March 21st.
Pei Qian got up on time at noon and came to the company after lunch.
Just as I was about to enter the elevator, I suddenly thought that today seems to be the day when the GOG client game is released.
So instead of pressing the button on the 16th floor, he decided to go to the game department on the 17th floor first and ask about the situation of GOG client games.
According to time, the PC version has been released for two or three hours, and the initial data should have come out, enough to give some clues.
“GOG client games are definitely not as popular as mobile games.”
“After all, GOG mobile games became popular because the development of mobile games lagged behind, and most mobile games simply cannot Fighting has formed a dimensionality reduction attack.”
“But PC games are different. There are many veteran MM and FPS games at a higher level, and players have strong stickiness; at the same level, there are veterans. The game "Shenqi" and the fast and popular ioi abroad; there are also various rising stars at the lower level. "
"With such fierce competition, GOG PC game, as a new project, will definitely have a bad start. Where are you going?"
Pei Qian arrived at the 17th floor and was captured by Hu Xianbin as soon as he entered the door.
"Mr. Pei, you are here!" Hu Xianbin's expression was quite excited.
Pei Qian instinctively felt that something was wrong: "What, you guessed that I was coming?"
Hu Xianbin smiled: "I was just guessing, after all, GOG PC game It's such a good start, you must have expected it. It's a high probability to come and take a look."
Pei Qian: "?"
It's such a good start? ? ?
Do we have different understandings of "a good start"?
Even if the mobile game starts well, how can the PC game be good?
"Mr. Pei, look!"
Hu Xianbin raised his hand to signal.
Pei Qian followed his hand and looked at the computer screen next to him. On it were the initial data of the GOG client game, which was constantly changing.
Holy shit! Such a good start? !
Pei Qian almost shouted.
He had seen similar data when the GOG mobile game was launched, but it was a mobile game project after all. There were not many competitors in the entire field, so it was normal for the data to be good.
But how come the data of the current PC game is better than the data of the mobile game when it was just launched?
This is not scientific at all!
Pei Qian looked at Hu Xianbin subconsciously.
Hu Xianbin smiled confidently: "Mr. Pei, I knew you were going to test me. I have thought about it carefully and summarized the reasons!"
"On the one hand, in the field of PC gaming Although the competition is fierce, the number of players is still more than that of mobile games, and there are also more players who like hard-core games!”
“On the other hand, our Tenda has been deeply involved in the field of mobile games in the past two years, with " "Sea Fortress" and many stand-alone games provide support, allowingOnce the GOG client game is launched, there will be a huge potential player base! ”
“Finally, and most importantly, GOG mobile games and season bonuses have accumulated enough popularity for GOG client games before they are launched! ”
“Due to the interoperability of client and mobile game accounts, many mobile game users download client games for the first time to experience them. ”
“In order to get season bonuses, many players even stay in Internet cafes in advance, enter the server as soon as it opens, rush into the rankings, and race against time! ”
“That’s why GOG PC games can get off to such a good start! ”
“According to the data just sent by Moyu Internet Cafe, the original three games in the Internet cafe, "Shenqi", ioi international server, and GOG test server, were in a tripartite position. After the GOG client game was officially launched, , the balance has been broken. ”
“GOG PC game quickly overwhelmed the other two games and won the favor of players! "
"Although it is too early to declare victory, GOG's idea of launching mobile games first and then high-end games is obviously a great success! "
"This is inseparable from your wise guidance, Mr. Pei! "
Pei Qian looked confused: "...I have never guided you to make GOG mobile games. "
Hu Xianbin nodded: "Yes, that's right. ”
“It was Sister Li’s request to make GOG mobile games and client games interoperable. "
"But Sister Li said that the reason why she proposed this method of 'dislocation competition' was because she learned it from you. Your previous series of classic marketing operations inspired Sister Li and changed her way of thinking. Only then could she think of using this method to promote GOG client games! "
Pei Qian: "..."
Is this a backstab from across the ocean?
Li Yada is still traveling, but she can stay in advance. The next thorn...
Besides feeling pain in his balls, Pei Qian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.
According to the current situation, if ioi does not leave the national server, I'm afraid the situation is not good...
No, I must arrange the national server of ioi in the next cycle.
Otherwise, the world line will be completely different from what I imagined. , the consequences are disastrous!
Pei Qian turned and left.
Hu Xianbin was already accustomed to Mr. Pei’s vigorous behavior: “Mr. Pei, go slow! Welcome to come often! Always ready for review! "
After Mr. Pei left, Hu Xianbin looked at the data on the computer screen thoughtfully.
"I have to say that Mr. Pei's trick is 'unstoppable in times of trouble'. Deciding to make mobile games is really a panacea to solve all problems. ”
“Many people have seen the inevitability of the development of smartphones and the advent of mobile games. However, their understanding of the game industry itself restricts their behavior. ”
“Although they have seen the arrival of the mobile game trend, they focus on light games and casual games. "
"But Mr. Pei is different. His proficiency in both the mobile phone and game industries allows him to more radically bring some serious games to the mobile game platform. This is the case for "War Song" and the same is true for GOG."
"Well...although it was not directly decided by him, it is obvious that Director Lin and Sister Li were influenced by his ideas."
"Wouldn't that mean that when something goes wrong, Decide to make mobile games. In the future, all games that can be converted into mobile games will be converted into mobile games?"
"Hmm... This seems to be a good idea, like the battle mode of "Sea Fortress" It seems to be very suitable for changing to a mobile game."
"Well, write this down, make bold assumptions and verify carefully..."
...
……
Tuesday, March 22nd.
Feihuang Studio.
"Mr. Pei, I still feel that it is a bit of a loss not to extend the secret key."
"With the quality and box office of our film, it should be extended for another month." It’s just a basic operation.”
“Although you can’t make much more by extending it for a month, no matter how low the film schedule is, it’s still good to make an extra ten or twenty million.”
Zhu Xiaoce thought quietly while drinking tea.
Pei Qian turned a deaf ear to his words, sipping tea with a faint smile on his face.
For Pei Qian, today is a good day.
"Better Tomorrow" is finally released!
This month has been a nightmare experience for Pei Qian. He originally thought that February 22nd would be an auspicious day, and he would rush to the street and die as soon as the movie was released. However, a month later, the movie The box office was finally set at 248.62 million.
The last-minute assist of "Journey to the Flying Stars" made "Better Tomorrow", who was already at the end of his life, suddenly sit up in shock from a dying illness, and when he looked back, he stubbornly looked like a dog. APP estimated that the box office revenue would be nearly 20 million more.
After conversion, the reimbursement to the production team will be about 83 million.
The investment in this movie is 30 million.
So, more than a week ago, when Pei Qian heard that Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo proposed to extend the movie secret key for another month and earn another month of box office, he became emotional and firmly opposed it.
In short, the movie "Better Tomorrow" was finally released today.
Director Zhu Xiaoce obviously felt that it was a little bit of a pity.
Although if it is extended for another month, it will not make much more box office. At most, it will be more than ten million, and there will only be five or six million left in the hand, but why not use the free money?
Pei Qian drank tea silently, thinking that you know a hammer.
If it is extended for another month, the repayment will also have to be extended for another month.
The next settlement cycle will probably be around five months. According to the current pace, there is a "quick settlement and repayment" business, and the repayment will be one month after the film is released.Receipt within the month.
If the payment is received in March, you can invest in the project immediately.
If I only call in April and then invest in the project, the project deadline will be very tight and it is likely that it will not be completed.
So, absolutely can’t delay!
The two of them each had different ideas and were speechless.
At this moment, Huang Sibo, who had just answered the phone, came over and sat down on the empty seat.
"Director Zhu, obviously Mr. Pei's decision is the right one."
"We really shouldn't extend the secret key."
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned: "Huh?"
Huang Sibo's face was filled with a smile: "The people from Ellie Island just contacted me and wanted to talk to us about the exclusive cooperation issue of "Better Tomorrow"!"
Zhu Xiaoce: "?"
Pei Qian: "?"
Both of them were a little surprised, but one was surprised and the other was frightened.
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned for a moment and then slapped his thigh: "Yes! Got it!"
"Although extending the secret key can be shown in theaters for one more month, this will , the audience’s demand for watching movies will further decline. When the website talks about cooperation with us, the price will naturally be reduced accordingly.”
“Although “A Better Tomorrow” is now released, it is still showing. There is still enthusiasm, and now we can talk about cooperation with video websites like Elly Island, especially if we talk about exclusives, we can get the most favorable conditions!"
Huang Sibo smiled slightly: "That's not all."
"In April, there will be a lot of online dramas that will be released, and a lot of resources will be diverted."
"And from now to the end of March, there just won't be any good popular dramas on the website. "
"After signing the exclusive contract for "Better Tomorrow", we will get good recommendation resources at least in March!"
Zhu Xiaoce nodded suddenly: "That's it, that's great. ”
“Release the movie on time to retain the popularity, so as to gain more benefits from the video website”
”However, the price offered by the video website can be higher than 5 million. Is it a lot?"
Huang Sibo looked at the documents on his phone: "Currently, Ellie Island offers two different exclusive cooperation models."
"One is buyout. According to the current market situation, for a movie with a box office of over 100 million and the participation of big-name actors, the copyright purchase fee starts at 10 million, but the maximum is no more than 50 million."
"Our movies have a box office of more than 200 million, and they have a box office of more than 200 million. The popularity is pretty good now, so the price offered by Elly Island to us is 18 million."
"The other option is to share..."
Zhu Xiaoce slapped his thigh: "Of course I want to buy it. Break it!"
Pei Qian: "Split it!"
The two people spoke almost at the same time, and the scene was a little awkward.
Zhu Xiaoce’s idea is very simple. Sell this movie to a video website, and the video website will make it available on demand., even if it is divided into several pieces, how long will it take to earn 18 million?
Of course, it’s a one-time deal. If you sell it for 18 million, isn’t it already a huge profit? You don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Pei Qian’s perspective is something no one can imagine.
The 18 million has arrived now. Doesn’t this cost me my life?
I finally spent all the excess money in my account temporarily in one operation, and the settlement was about to begin. Suddenly, 18 million was given to me. Where should I spend it?
You just let me take a bath with Lafite every day, and I...oh, that would be all the money, but the problem is that the system doesn't allow it.
So, we definitely can’t buy it out!
Huang Sibo coughed twice: "Ahem, please listen to what I have to say first."
"In terms of sharing, each member's effective on-demand share will be two and a half yuan." , members who watch more than 6 minutes are considered to be on-demand for a total of six months, and the money will be refunded once a month."
"The movie will become free after six months, but the movie will still be played. According to the volume and popularity data, a certain amount of remuneration will be paid according to the incentive plan. "
"If it is to be on the safe side, it is definitely more worry-free to buy out. If you have strong confidence in the movie, sharing is not a bad idea."
Pei Qian's attitude is still firm: "Shared!"
He doesn't care about how much of the movie's views can be shared on Ellie Island, he only cares about one thing, no matter How much money do you have, please don’t give it to me now!
Anyway, we’ll talk about this big thing next cycle!
Seeing Mr. Pei's firm attitude, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, let's share. We also feel that we should have confidence in "Better Tomorrow". The signing and sharing model will definitely make more money. "More money!"
Pei Qian sighed silently, a little melancholy.
Today... seems like it should be a good day for the movie to be released.
But why is this happening now...
