Gu Sheng handed over the project development work of "Peak Kingdom" to Steel Finger Studio.
Firstly, it’s because the Gold Experience Studio is currently cooperating with Xiao Ming’s operation and maintenance department on the winter version updates of the two major projects “PUBG” and “APEX”, as well as pass design and other work, and cannot spare manpower.
Secondly, it is because after the gold experience completes the version update, there will be a more important project that they need to develop.
So today's meeting of "Extreme Summit" was attended only by Gu Sheng, Lu Bian, Da Jiang, and the entire staff of Steel Fingers Studio.
As for little Nezha...
It is said that he took the finance girl and the chief secretary Chu Qingzhou out to buy small gifts. The reason was that the "Sekiro" project was a great success, and the reward was a reward to all employees for their hard work, so it was a good time to fish.
He looked at Gu Sheng, who was smiling, and then at the eyes in the conference room that were all looking at him.
Moritani Toru also took a deep breath.
Yes, as the former managing director of Comella Game Affairs Department, the second-in-command of an international first-tier comprehensive game company.
Now coming to Golden Wind, a medium-sized game company that is even a second-tier enterprise in China, Tetsuya Moritani is actually a little nervous at this moment.
Moritani is a person who is aware of current affairs, and at this moment, being aware of current affairs also puts great pressure on him.
Look at these people here.
Gu Sheng is the vice president of Golden Wind and a supernova game designer. In just three years, all the games he has produced have become popular, including vampire-like, second-generation FPS, psychological horror, tower defense miracles, movie-style games, wolf games... various
A variety of new game forms refresh the understanding of the gaming community and stimulate players' senses.
Lu Bian and Xu Dajiang, as two of the "troika" of the former Golden Wind, together with Gu Sheng created this rising game company.
The main artist Xu Dajiang, whether it is the majestic signal tower or the strange and dreamy Palace of Origin, are all outlined and built under his guidance, and he can always perfectly present the ideal picture of the game.
The main process, Lu Bian, whether it is complex time and space travel levels or magical action-assisted upgrade technology, is all realized in his operation compilation, laying the foundation for the basic program structure and gameplay practice of the game.
There is also the entire Steel Fingers Studio with Sato, Yuki, and Okura as the core.
We are old acquaintances, and they are all good players drawn from the major studios in Comela. Although they have not officially joined Golden Wind for a long time, the horror of the "Silent Hill PT" and "Escape" projects is enough to prove their
Strength, not to mention the global hit "Plants vs. Zombies" that created sales myths, and the groundbreaking somatosensory cabin ARPG game "Sekiro" that has received extremely high media ratings and player reputations. They are all produced by them.
In addition, the people who did not participate in the meeting today are also not to be underestimated, and are even more terrifying!
Shen Miaomiao, President of Golden Wind. Originally, there were very few women serving as presidents of game companies, and she was even more outstanding among those rare ones. Her 'stud-style project investment model' has been unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will never be another one in the future. It’s here, and no one in the global gaming community has dared to replicate it!
Golden Experience Studio, with Jiang Yun, Jiang Shan and Kailan as the core, started from a group of ignorant college students who had just stepped out of school. In just two or three years, they produced "Road to Survival", "PUBG", etc. It is a sensational work in the gaming circle, and "Titanfall" is even more shocking around the world. It makes the name of Golden Wind go out of Asia for the first time, and makes the global gaming industry realize this company with terrifying creativity!
There is also their operation and maintenance team headed by the "ordinary little king" Wang Xiaoming. It is hard to imagine that an operation and maintenance team can participate in project update planning, and it is even harder to imagine that they are still the "creative workshop" that has been used by countless game manufacturers. Conduct research and learn from the creators of game-derived features!
Such a game company!
Such a creative and legendary team!
Even though Toru Moritani came from one of the world's largest game manufacturers and was once a senior executive, he did not dare to take it lightly!
Because this is not a normal manufacturer at all.
This is a super monster cage in the gaming world that only refreshes elites and BOSS!
Forget the glory you once held in a high position.
Moritani kept reminding himself in his heart.
This is the most promising gaming company in the world, the prototype of an empire, and the foundation for the future throne.
Look at what kind of legend your leader is, look at what kind of existence the two people who stand alongside you are, and think about what kind of monsters your colleagues are.
bring it on!
Moritani!
Although you are almost 40 years old, your stage has just been set up!
And now!
It's time to put on a show!
Just start with "Peak Kingdom"!
"OK,"
After calming down, Moritani Tetsuya said:
"As for the "Peak Kingdom" project, I also had some discussions with Mr. Gu before,"
"There is no doubt that the creativity and gameplay of this game are excellent. We have focused our attention on 'extreme sports' that have never appeared in the history of sports games,"
"But that's why,"
"Our player audience is particularly narrow,"
"In order to make up for this narrow shortcoming, I personally recommend starting from the 'gimmick' aspect."
Gimmick!
In fact, the nature of this word is slightly derogatory.
It refers to the erotic techniques applied in works.
But in the hands of Golden Wind, the actual meaning of the gimmick is more neutral.
For example, "Make FPS Great Again", which stirred up waves with one stone and is even recited by countless players to this day, is an out-and-out super gimmick.
But the cool thing is that after Gu Sheng shouted this slogan that can be called a gimmick, he also perfectly realized it!
So, the gimmick of bragging turned into a really awesome selling point.
And now, Moritani will continue to follow in his footsteps, Gu Sang, and turn bragging into being really awesome.
"We are going to make a super stunt that will make players all over the world stunned——"
Moritani Tetsuya said:
"If possible, I would like to completely replicate the real scene in the game,"
“Feel the majesty of Tianmen Mountain while flying in a wingsuit,”
“Witness the majesty of the Himalayas during skydiving,”
“Feel the fury of the Alps during an avalanche downhill chase,”
"In the life-and-death game of extreme surfing, experience the shock of Cortez's 100-meter wave,"
"I still remember that day when I was chatting with Gu Sang, Gu Sang once talked about an extreme sports idea called 'Peak Eight',"
"The emergence of power, the birth of heaven, the awakening of earth, the life of water, the surge of wind, the consolidation of ice, the master of fate, the ultimate trust,"
"Perhaps in reality, no one can complete these eight life-limiting challenges alive,"
"But I think it would be a beautiful thing to allow players to travel around the world and realize the immersive exploration of the limits of life in the game."
WTF--!!!
As soon as this statement came out!
Everyone in the conference room was shocked!
Especially Da Jiang and Lu Bian, the two brothers looked at each other and saw the other's panic in each other's pupils!
Damn it! No wonder Lao Gu has always coveted Moritani Tetsuya!
This guy is simply another Lao Gu in the world!
The same psychopath, the same daring to think and act, the same unbridled imagination!
Crazy and imaginative!
The most important thing is that, like Lao Gu, he knows very well what kind of stimulation can fully touch the players' G-spot!
On-site shooting! Impossible extreme challenge!
What does this amount to?
This is equivalent to giving players a life plug-in, allowing players to complete things they dare not do in another reality and make challenges they dare not do!
Go skydiving in the Himalayas! Go wingsuiting in Tianmen Mountain! Go downhill skiing in the Alps! Go surfing in Cortez!
Just thinking about it is exciting!
And this is not over yet!
Just listen to Moritani Tetsuya continue to say:
"In addition, in the game's promotional video, I also suggested that we make further expansion."
oh?
After hearing this, everyone stopped talking and became quiet again and looked at Moritani.
"I think that since we have adopted real-life shooting, and it is an extreme sports, open multiplayer online semi-competitive game, we don't have to worry about spoilers of the game content, and we can even show as much of our game content as possible,"
Moritani spread his hands and said:
"So I suggest that we produce more promotional videos, and each promotional video be made into a music video,"
"Cooperate with works with high influence in the domestic and foreign music markets as much as possible."
So fierce!
For a moment, there was a gasp of air in the conference room.
Moritani’s meaning is very clear——
Buy the rights.
To be more precise, it is the purchase of the copyright rights to a musical work.
Purchase the copyright rights to these songs and use them as background music for game promotional videos.
It’s so fun to play...
The land and the river are grinning.
Look at Mori Gu and then at Lao Gu.
They saw Na Sengu talking eloquently, while Lao Gu nodded repeatedly with a cheerful expression.
Don't ask.
These flower arrangements must have been discussed between the two of them before.
On-site shooting and production, coupled with the promotion of songs with certain influence.
have to say!
With this combination of punches, no matter how niche an extreme sport is, it will definitely be saved by this double gimmick!
"But the problem is..."
However, just when everyone's eyes were shining brightly and they were excited with anticipation, they heard Tetsuya Moritani change the subject and say:
"The problem is that if this is the case, the production cost of the game will be very high, far exceeding the original plan when the project was established,"
"This cost..."
Too high.
Although Moritani has long heard about Golden Wind’s game investment model, its main focus is to try to convert a bicycle into a motorcycle.
But the problem is that today’s golden trend is no better than it was then.
It turns out that Golden Wind is a single company, a small manufacturer, not big in size, not many people, just a studio, for those who are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
But now, they have been promoted to a medium-sized company, and dozens of families are hungry for food. Moreover, the company has more than just a studio, and there are also new projects waiting to be developed for Golden Experience.
Such an investment is definitely not something you just open your mouth and make a decision as soon as you say something.
After all, Moritani is a managing director and has a very stable view of the overall situation!
Although Steel Fingers are all his old acquaintances, he is not the director of Steel Fingers and is only responsible for the studio.
Now, he is the core executive of Golden Wind. He must think about problems from a higher position, and he must be even-keeled.
It is not easy for everyone to reach this point. He must consider the company and the president Miaomiao Sang.
After all, the total investment for a 3S-level work like "Sekiro" is less than 200 million dollars.
As for "Peak Kingdom", a work that is not positioned as a 3S-level product, it starts with on-site shooting, one-to-one restoration, and copyright purchase...
If you’re not careful, you may directly become one of the most expensive projects in the history of Golden Wind!
Although their corporate culture is to ignore costs.
But you can’t be so reckless about the cost!
However, right now!
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
"Please come in."
Gu Sheng, like everyone else, looked towards the door and responded.
Click.
The door of the conference room opened, and a girl wearing a cream-white floral princess shirt, draped wide-leg pants, and a mint green woolen coat walked in.
A hint of fresh and cold fragrance lingered and stopped beside Gu Sheng.
Wow——
Everyone stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Shen."
good.
The person who came was none other than Shen Miaomiao who had returned from buying small gifts.
"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down -"
Shen Miaomiao waved her hands to signal everyone not to be restrained, and then leaned beside Gu Sheng naturally and put her hands on his shoulders:
"How did the discussion go?"
"It's almost done,"
Gu Sheng replied:
"The only problem at the moment is that Moritani-san has a certain hesitation about the cost of this game, believing that the cost investment is too high and will cause a considerable burden to the company."
Oh?!
Hear the words!
Shen Miaomiao's eyes lit up immediately!
Good news!
In fact, originally, she was a little nervous about Moritani joining Golden Wind——
This guy's business ability is too strong.
When he was in Comella, he was the only opponent who gave Lao Gu a headache, and even had to resort to such despicable means as "a gentleman bullies his opponent" to morally kidnap him.
What's the weight?
Lao Gu is not even afraid of the president of Comella, but he is unwilling to compete with Moritani!
Shen Miaomiao was really a little worried that Mori Gu would become another sharp knife in the company that stabbed her in the back.
But on the other hand, Moritani is almost Lao Gu's hand-picked target, and his salary is indeed a considerable expense.
So in the end, Shen Miaomiao reluctantly agreed to Lao Gu's suggestion and pulled Moritani Tetsuya into the Golden Wind.
But I never expected it!
Comrade Moritani gave her a big surprise when she came up!
Tetsuya Moritani is so good at burning!
What a rare thing!
Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied.
These days, executives who know how to proactively burn money are a scarce resource.
Good comrade, you have a bright future!
"oh?"
Shen Miaomiao became interested:
"How many?"
How much money can you waste to let this president see your strength?
"...Uh, probably...maybe..."
Seeing the big boss, Moritani hesitated even more, and even hesitated before reluctantly speaking:
"About...eight to ninety million, or even close to hundreds of millions of dollars."
