Chapter 447: Your circle is really chaotic, but your circle is not chaotic
"Brother, there is news from Rockstar that "Red Dead Redemption 2" sold 18 million units in the first month, which is a very good result." Assistant Yuanyuan reported to Li Hehui at an event.
Li He paused and then said: "The results are good. If the PC version is released, the sales volume will be even higher."
"R Star has long had plans to launch PC, and it is expected to be in April or May next year," assistant Yuanyuan said.
Li He nodded, this is only reasonable. After all, consoles alone cannot support such high sales, and as the main target market, China has always been PC-based. Among the 18 million sales, China only contributed 150,000 copies.
The Chinese market has great potential, and the PC side also has great potential. Rockstar will definitely not let this market go. So far, "Red Dead Redemption 2" has made back more than half of its cost based on its first-month sales. It remains to be seen whether it can achieve profitability.
It depends on subsequent sales. However, for such a game, it should not be difficult to make a profit. Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar, has made a prediction. "Red Dead Redemption 2" is expected to generate revenue of US$1.5 billion.
From the production cost and distribution share, we can probably earn another one to two hundred million.
In fact, the Rockstar game that makes money for Take-Two is another game, the famous "GTA5". Global sales have reached 140 million copies, second only to "Minecraft" and "Tetris" in sales. The key is
It is this game that is much more expensive than the top two games.
However, no matter how popular the game is, it doesn’t have much to do with Li Hyuk. After all, Li Hyuk only gets endorsement fees. And now the most profitable thing in the gaming industry is mobile games. Mobile game manufacturers around the world are making crazy money, and naturally the same is true in China.
No exception.
Li Hyuk has been approached to endorse many mobile games, such as "Honor of Kings", which created a skin that cost 200 million yuan. The endorsement fee offered is also quite exaggerated, 20 million yuan in two years.
Li Hyuk was a little surprised when he received the endorsement. This was already an extremely high fee among his endorsements. But when he thought about it, he didn’t find it strange. The endorsement fee would be enough to make two more skins.
.
Even the game developer Tianmei Studio has decided to develop a series of skins for Li He, priced at 198 yuan. If Li He agrees to this plan, he will get a share from the sales of the skin.
Li He was naturally willing, and the two parties hit it off immediately, and related skins are being developed. After a series of cooperation intentions came out, it also caused a lot of discussion in the industry.
Some gamers openly criticize Li Hyuk, Tianmei, and the Penguin behind them, saying that this is cheating money from children and harming the next generation. This type of game takes up a lot of children's good time, and they suggest that relevant departments ban this type of game.
.
There is a certain truth to what the parents call beasts, but it seems unreasonable. Parents are the main responsibility for whether their children play games or do other things. If you fail to educate your children, you blame games, TV, comics, and even the school.
I blame the teacher but never reflect on my own problems. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
Anyway, such remarks will not affect the Penguin Game strategy, and for Li Hyuk, it is not illegal. If he doesn't make money, other stars will make the money, so it would be better for him to make it himself. And he makes money.
They will also use part of it for charity and pay taxes, which is much better than those celebrities who evade taxes.
When it comes to tax evasion, we have to mention several celebrities who have fallen over in succession recently. They all overturned on tax issues. Some stars overturned on personal moral character, while others never left the illegal path.
Return.
All the big names in the entertainment industry have dazzled the public, and they can only sigh that the entertainment industry is really chaotic. There is also good news in the chaos. The powerful friends Tang Yan and Luo Jin are getting married, and they have become a post-1985 actress.
The second person in the marriage hall.
But Shishi is still single and living a wonderful single life. Wu Qilong, who pursued her in the early years, has never returned on the road to the anti-Japanese drama. The popularity he gained from "Step by Step Jingxin" has long since expired, and he has completely fallen into the second or third place.
Streaming actor.
And in early December, something comparable to the Golden Horse Awards incident happened. DG, the founder of a well-known luxury brand and part-time designer, made insulting remarks about Xia, and the crowd was excited for a while. And the big show event originally planned to be held in Shanghai
Because of the cancellation of this event, Rocket Girls, Brother Wang, Reba, etc. all refused to attend the event.
Celebrities involved in endorsements have also announced the cancellation of their endorsement activities with DG. However, it is easier said than done. They have to pay liquidated damages, and it is a considerable amount of money.
From this point of view, Li Hyuk does not have this problem. He has almost no endorsements of foreign brands. Even if he does, the relevant terms will be noted in the contract, so that if such incidents occur, he will not suffer losses.
Therefore, you should be careful when it comes to endorsements. Entertainment has no national boundaries, but celebrities have national boundaries. Before you eat this bowl of rice, you should first think about which country you are from.
On December 15th, Li He was invited to attend the 2018 China Influence People Award Ceremony. This award was organized by China News Weekly since 2008 and is used to pay tribute to those who have made outstanding contributions in their respective fields.
people.
Li Hyuk and Wen Muye were selected at the same time. Wen Muye won the Director of the Year Award. Needless to say, the contribution of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in the art field. Li Hyuk's selection was somewhat controversial, but after seeing the name of another person, the public
I instantly felt that Lee Hyuk was completely worthy of being named Entertainer of the Year.
The one who was selected at the same time as Li Hyuk was Koi Yang, who debuted in "Produce 101". To be honest, in front of Li Hyuk, no matter how popular Koi Yang is this year, she is not qualified to be compared with Li Hyuk, so Koi Yang will be selected from a certain point.
To a certain extent, this award ceremony has become tasteless.
The reason given by the organizer "China News Weekly" is also very simple. The award citation is: She debuted in a talent show, and she is the hottest new star in 2018. She dares to show her truest side to the public, let us
I saw her efforts, I also saw her helplessness, I also saw her transformation and her transcendence.
Witness how a cute and cute ordinary girl grows into a shining idol. Some people lament her luck, and some people say that she is the "Koi" herself. But no matter what, this young girl reflects the ordinary people of the era.
hopes and dreams.
There is a lot of nonsense to say, but it can be summed up in five words: She is the most popular this year.
Li He met this lucky little girl backstage. Unlike the arrogance of ordinary celebrities after becoming famous, Koi Yang was still very polite. When he saw Li He coming, he stepped forward and said hello: "Hello, Teacher Li."
Li He nodded and smiled: "Congratulations, being selected is a kind of recognition."
"No, no, no, Teacher Li, you are the one who truly deserves this award. I deserve this award." Koi Yang waved his hands and said. The little girl has been scolded by netizens every day these days. She was a little stressed for a while and was scolded so much.
I doubt my life and feel a little depressed.
She didn't even want to come over to accept the award, but her manager insisted, so Koi Yang had no choice but to come.
Li He has also experienced online violence and understands how Koi Yang feels. He has strong psychological endurance and can face it without caring. But the same cannot be said for Koi Yang. Li He didn't have much to say, so he could only comfort him: "
Don't worry about what others say, just do your own thing, and over time, those remarks will disappear."
"Thank you teacher for your encouragement..." Koi Yang bowed.
Li He nodded, said no more, and turned to chat with Wen Muye. Koi Yang looked at Li He's back, his eyes lit up. The manager appeared at the right time and said to Koi Yang: "What? I envy him.
Already?"
Koi Yang shook his head and said: "I'm not envious. There is only one Li He in the world. No one can achieve his level anymore, but there is also only one me in the world."
"It's good that you know. You guys are on different routes, so there won't be much intersection. Just be polite," the agent reminded.
Koi Yang smiled mysteriously: "Who said there won't be much intersection, just wait and see, hehe..."
