"The total cost is 2 million to shoot a 40-minute episode, which is about 4 episodes in length?"

Chu He in the office of Tianhe Network said something weird.

"Yes, after all, we have insufficient funds, so on the authorized price, can Chu always..." From the marvel at the highly sci-fi decoration layout in the Tianhe Network Office, Liu Yuan was a little embarrassed when he heard Chu River Said.

Obviously, he asked someone to authorize himself, and then he didn't want to pay for the money.

But there is no way. There is really no money. The documentary itself is not pleasing on the production side. It took a lot of time to get these 2 million batches.

If it wasn't for making the documentary more realistic and more visually effective, actually speaking, he didn't want to pay for the license fee.

Directly photographing the ruins of the war and replacing it with two textbooks and comics, then that is called one to save money.

"The licensing fee is fine, but is it okay to directly use the game's screen shot?" Chu He waved his hand and said.

A very poor and poor crew, this is how Chu He feels now.

To understand the potential of the launch of Tianhe Network, it uses the technology of real people starring in the late CG.

But even in this case, the cost of starring in real people costs more than 4 million.

Can this documentary filmed by Liu Yuan called Daoxue Changping really be 2 million?

Chu He really expressed a little skepticism, and more importantly, the other party wanted to use the war scenes in the game, but it must be known that this is a game after all.

Soldiers have names on their heads and blood bars, and sometimes even show the BUFF value. You can’t put this picture directly out, there must be later modifications.

Is this 2 million really enough?

"I hope to be able to watch the film, otherwise we will not give authorization." Chu He shook his head and said.

For hundreds of thousands of licensing fees, Chuhe doesn’t care. What really makes Chuhe worried is that this director is not a good thing. He pretends to get the game screen authorization from them, and then shoots a shit. Later It was disgusting to use their Tianhe Network and War Series to propagate.

"No problem." Liu Yuan nodded quickly.

After a casual chat with the other party, Liu Yuan left Tianhe Network Building.

Without seeing what the other party photographed, Chuhe did not dare to authorize others.

If the effect of the shooting is good, it can satisfy him, and even investing a little money is not impossible. It is used to expand the influence of the war series and be used for advertising.

But without talking about the documentary, Liu Yuan's arrival gave Chu He a rough idea.

Perhaps some new features can be added to the two series in the war series?

What kind of players are in the game player community?

There are all kinds of players, no matter how the player plays the game, whether it is the manufacturer or others, there is no reason to give directions.

Because this is a matter of its own happiness, such as in the game of wilderness.

Some players don't like to do plots, they like to wander around in the western world at random, and experience the unique charm of that era.

Some people like to play the bounty hunter missions in the Western mode, revolving in a revolver and exciting chasing.

Some people like to experience a story that is exciting enough, and will never touch it again after the story is cleared.

Some like the multiplayer online mode, only playing multiplayer and not single player.

At the same time, there are people who don't do anything, just watch the scenery in the game, and then take pictures and send them to the circle of friends.

With the development of game screen technology, more and more such landscape parties have also been developed.

Even some landscape images in the game, after the lighting rendering and the engine are processed, are more beautiful and more dreamlike than the real scenery.

"Add a new function to allow players to experience a variety of landscapes in the game, and at the same time introduce a video function that allows players to shoot game movies, such as built-in lenses, etc." Chu He said while watching the team.

"This is not a very difficult thing. The game originally supported these plug-in functions. It will not take long for the plug-in in the test version to be re-coded." Ronel and the technical staff of the War Bilogy series, After listening to Chu He's request, he answered decisively.

Discussing some of the subsequent updates of the game in detail, Chu He leaned on the sofa and looked at the screen of the two wars on the computer screen in front of him. I was still not satisfied.

The MOD community is being constructed, and MOD creation tools have also been released; and the multiplayer mode is also in full swing production, and almost two weeks of internal testing will be available.

But this is not enough, Chu River is full of ambitions for this game.

In order to fight against the rising TEU, the steam platform came up with a big killer, which has been silent for half a year for half a year. 3 Although it has been their research and development speed, it is estimated that there will be a few more years.

Although EPIC's word of mouth is bad, it still has a good flow of money by buying up third-party monopoly.

Including several games exclusively for EPIC, EPIC alone contributed a quarter of the million sales worldwide.

This number is no less than the sales of some games on the steam platform during the same period.

Even if a lot of players on the steam platform say that if the game can be sold more on the steam platform, it is actually put there.

And Chuhe estimates that more manufacturers should be bought by EPIC's US dollar bills in the future.

Because game makers haven't lost money, sales of around 250,000 are less than half of that of steam platforms, plus exclusive expenses.

Wanting to have this profit means that the game must be sold at least 700,000 on the steam platform ~ www.readwn.com ~ or even higher to get it.

And it’s still sold without discounting the game.

"In the early years, when there was no similar platform, the steam platform applied BitTorrent technology, opened a player community, and a creative workshop, plus a scoring system. This is not too much for game manufacturers. The 30% bonus is not excessive; The steam platform is still going the old way, and facing the new challengers, they are not invincible."

At a meeting within the TEU, Chu He and Ibrahimovic and Wilson expressed their views.

"The monopoly of the inferior character, let EPIC do them well, I think now they should be a bit difficult to ride a tiger, we continue our strategy, and for third-party manufacturers, the steam platform has become more attractive It's getting weaker, because there are several games on the TEU platform, even more than the steam platform, and this is done at the same price." Ibrahimovic said with a smile on his face.

As for whether there is a promotion role behind, such as official cooperation with TEU publicity, this is another matter.

The data is sufficient.
