Chapter 343: You Are the One Who Plays (Part 1)

"Then I wonder if your company has any requirements for detailed contract terms?" Mike is not stupid, he naturally knows that no company will be so stupid as to give others benefits for nothing, at least Star Group has no reason to do so, unless Star The chairman of the group is an idiot, and the executive president is a waste, maybe there is such a possibility. ,

"Of course, there must be requirements, but just like what we said just now, if your company proposes such a condition, then our company has the right to use all the image usage rights of the game signed with your company, of course, We will not slander or destroy Blizzard's reputation, or have any impact on Blizzard." Zhang Yang said.

"Is it just such a condition?" Mike looked at Zhang Yang and found it inconceivable. After all, this kind of thing can't only have such a condition, right? So Star Group is too stupid? For Mike, the use of his company's game characters is actually not a big deal. No matter which company's game is, will its internal characters and data not be used after it goes public?

How many will pay copyright fees to Blizzard? Basically not, with so many people, it is impossible for Blizzard to sue one by one, so it doesn't matter to Mike, but to Zhang Yang, this is the most critical point for him to implement the next plan. Although expressing such eagerness would definitely make the other party suspect, but this kind of condition would not work unless it was raised. Sooner or later, Zhang Yang simply made it clear.

And if Blizzard disagrees, Starry Sky Group will naturally not sign the contract. Zhang Yang has already grasped it now. Mike has taken a fancy to Starry Sky Group's special effects production level, and more importantly, this production is free.

"The main condition is nothing else. Second, we just hope to reach a long-term partnership with Blizzard Entertainment. This will benefit both of us. Star Group has an obligation to help its allies promote the game, and Blizzard Entertainment is also obliged to help Star Sky Do you think there is any problem with the group's promotion of Star Group's products?" Zhang Yang said calmly.

Chen Xiaowei next to her shook her hands slightly, but her face did not change at all, and no one noticed the change in Chen Xiaowei, but Chen Xiaowei had already screamed in her heart, treacherous! Treacherous! After being the executive president of Star Group for so long, Chen Xiaowei naturally understands Star Group's ambitions, or publicity's ambitions. Star Group will never be satisfied with the development of one product, and it will definitely be a diversified company in the future.

After signing this contract, how many products did Blizzard promote for Star Group, and how many products did Star Group promote for Blizzard? With Blizzard's status in the game industry and Blizzard's reputation among players, these players are undoubtedly young people, and these young people will definitely be potential users of the high-tech Star Group's products.

For example, the current photon defense software of Star Group is basically used by World of Warcraft players all over the world.

Not only domestic players who plan to play World of Warcraft have downloaded Photon Defense under the promotion of Ninetowns, but players from other countries in the world have also downloaded Photon Defense, and more than domestic players!

It is because the optimization level of the photon defense system has reached a very good level. In fact, our computer hardware, whether it is a branded machine or a self-assembled machine, the hardware performance that the system can exert is about 50%. A system that can reach 60% is considered a good system.

And the photon defense software can make this hardware play 70% or more! From this, we can see the excellence of Photon Defense. In fact, not only players are playing, but also some other high-tech companies in the world are also researching Photon Defense. There is no doubt that Photon Defense can optimize the system.

But it's a pity that although Zhang Yang can't be said to be cunning and cunning, the technical personnel of these companies have not been able to crack the software protection measures for the time being. So don't look at the fact that Xingkong Group is not very famous in the ears of ordinary users, but among the major high-tech companies, Xingkong Group is actually quite famous!

The latest Nebula software launched by Xingkong Group has no plans to go public at present, but it does not mean that Nebula software cannot be promoted. So as soon as Zhang Yang said this, Chen Xiaowei immediately reacted, and scolded Zhang Yang treacherously in her heart, who said that this guy can't negotiate? This is very negotiable!

Maybe other people don't care about this, because in their opinion, the development of Star Group will not be very fast, so after Zhang Yang said this, Chen Xiaowei is sure that Mike will think, but thinking is thinking, Blizzard will never think too much! At least in Blizzard's view, the current Star Group is just a new company with a registered capital of 50 million and total assets of less than 100 million!

But Chen Xiaowei stayed in the company for this period of time, and even Chen Xiaowei didn't realize that she was already full of confidence in this group. As for what the Star Group could achieve in the future, even she herself was full of longing.

"This is possible, but we need specific negotiations. Of course, Starry Sky Group has given us such a big concession, and we can't let Starry Sky Group suffer. If our negotiations are successful, your product Blizzard will officially issue a statement, Promote your products, such as the current photon defense software under your company, we will recommend it as a must-have for Blizzard games, and even if we deepen our cooperation, we can embed part of the photon defense functions in the game package." Mike estimated that it was accepted Zhang Yang's concession was embarrassing, and it was very rare that he also took the initiative to give up a little profit.

Of course, Blizzard is not at a disadvantage for this thing that was released. Anyone who has used Photon Defense will definitely continue to use it. Blizzard recommends this. It is a good way to say that it is responsible for its own players. No player will scold them. If the feeling of using it is quite good, the first thing these players will praise is not that the software of Star Group is easy to use, but that Blizzard games are considerate of players, and the second will be the turn of Star Group.

It seems that Blizzard has made a little concession, but in fact, this concession is much more beneficial to them than Star Group. However, negotiation is a win-win thing, and it is certainly not without any benefits for the Star Group. "Haha, it looks like we have made a good start in the negotiations, then we can start a new round of negotiations on the details." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Zhang Yang finalized the keynote, Mike and the others discussed in a low voice for a few times, and after confirming that there were no problems, everyone started a new round of consultation on the details, which naturally mentioned Blizzard's new information about World of Warcraft The film, The Burning Crusade, Blizzard means that Star Group will make a promotional video about the new World of Warcraft expansion for Blizzard, and then release these promotional videos when Blizzard promotes this expansion, and then release other Blizzard games. video.

However, the Star Group will naturally not agree to this, because in this way, the promotion of World of Warcraft will naturally be maximized, especially the promotion of the new video is naturally quite good, but for the Star Group, it cannot reach the maximum. Degree.

After all, what Star Group cares about is not how well your game is promoted, but that the effect of my video production is recognized by everyone in the world. As for the content of this video itself, Star Group doesn’t care, even if it is a CG AV movies of comic characters are fine.

But for Blizzard, of course it can't do it. Instead, the two sides didn't have so much entanglement in other aspects, and many clauses were passed easily, including the one proposed by Zhang Yang. As long as Starry Sky Group helps Blizzard make games, Then Star Group has the right to freely use all characters in Blizzard games.

Notice! It is free to use, that is to say, Star Group can use the characters of Blizzard games as other commercial projects, and there is no need to apply to Blizzard. Mike and the others are not fools, so they have noticed this naturally, but for them, they really can't imagine what commercial purposes Star Group can use these game characters of Blizzard for. After benefiting, Mike and the others gave up.

After all, the Star Group has already paid a lot, and Blizzard simply said that apart from these intangible copyrights, the rest really didn't pay much! However, the two parties still made it clear that Star Group cannot use these characters to damage Blizzard's image.

Naturally, the Star Group has no objection to this point. The two sides had a big disagreement about when the video should be publicized. The main reason was the timing. The Star Group wanted to release it as soon as possible, but Blizzard disagreed. The two sides mainly struggled with this point.

As for how long it took Starry Sky Group to produce these game CG videos, Mike and the others deliberately ignored it, while Starry Sky Group knew it well, and both sides agreed tacitly without mentioning this issue. But Mike and the others were still quite shocked!

After all, the Star Group didn't mention this, and they also asked to release the game video in advance. Obviously, the Star Group understands the time it takes to make the game video, otherwise, they wouldn't ask for it. In other words, Star Group is sure to make this game video in a short time!

The negotiation reached a stalemate, and the whole morning passed like this. At noon, the Star Group was naturally the host, and everyone from Blizzard Entertainment was invited to dinner. Chen Xiaowei's attention was very good. Since the foreigner's method is not good, then use the Chinese method. ! Talk about things at the wine table!

For the enthusiasm of the Star Group, Mike and the others were naturally quite happy. Both parties were in the same hall, and three tables were set up, and the main personnel sat on one table. When Zhang Yang came up, he toasted Mike and the others for a few glasses of wine. Foreigners are used to drinking red wine, but this is China, so it was difficult for Mike and the others to refuse Zhang Yang's offer of baijiu.

However, he firmly stated that he would not drink too much, so as not to delay the negotiation in the afternoon, Zhang Yang nodded and agreed with a smile. After coming up, Zhang Yang gave a few girls a wink, and then asked for a few bottles of Wuliangye. Taking the goblets for drinking red wine in the hotel, one of them poured a full glass of white wine for these foreigners. Mike and they hadn't reacted yet. Before that, Zhang Yang said very formally in English: "In our China, there is a special thing, that is, if you are a guest, the host must entertain you well. Otherwise, the host will not entertain you well, which is the greatest insult to the host. , but because we still have to negotiate in the afternoon, I will not let you drink more, but this first glass of opening wine is a must. I am the host, I will drink three glasses first, and you decide for yourself. "

After Zhang Yang did not give Mike and the others time to react, he directly drank the white wine in the goblet in front of him, and then Zhang Yang filled up the glass in front of him, and then stared at everyone dumbfounded, Although this kind is not too big, it can still hold at least three taels of baijiu in a goblet, so Zhang Yang "boomed" three of them in a row.

After drinking, Zhang Yang looked at Mike and the others with serious eyes and said, "Because we are going to negotiate in the afternoon, I won't let you drink more. It's up to you now."

The way Chen Xiaowei and the others looked at Zhang Yang had completely changed, as if they were looking at an out-and-out animal! A bottle of Wuliangye just pours into three goblets! Zhang Yang just drank a bottle without saying a word, without changing his face or heartbeat, if it wasn't for the white wine, the waiter just brought it, and they just opened it, everyone would have thought Zhang Yang was drinking white water.

Is there such a thing as liquor? Tan Yudie and the others were also a little dizzy. This baijiu is called by Tan Yudie. Although it is not the highest in Wuliangye, it is not the lowest either. The 45° baijiu is not fake, right? How come I didn't realize before that Zhang Yang was drinking so exaggeratedly?

Mike and the others looked at each other, Zhang Yang had already said that, and they looked at each other, naturally they were too embarrassed to say no? They drank three, and they even said respect or disrespect. "Well, that's fine, let's just drink this one." Mike and the others immediately picked up the wine glass in front of them, then signaled to Zhang Yang, and directly drank it with their heads up.

Seeing that Mike and the others had done it, Zhang Yang's face finally started to become weird, nnd, although I don't know how much these foreigners can drink, but they have been hungry all morning, and they only have a little bit of liquor when they come up. As for himself... It seems that Zhang Yang was drunk by his grandfather since he was a child. In Zhang Kuang's words, not long after Zhang Yang's first full moon, his grandfather secretly fed Zhang Yang with chopsticks dipped in white wine, saying that it's a man who can't drink. Can.
