Star Ocean was released on time, and the special effects were much better than expected.
Not top notch, but good enough.
Coupled with good cost control, the box office performance in the first week reached US$100 million.
With its rapid development, the film quickly became the subject of discussion.
Perhaps this movie cannot be called a classic, but it is enough to satisfy those loyal fans, and it also attracts more viewers because of the large enough special effects scenes.
And the big U-shaped Unreal Engine logo that appeared at the beginning of the movie was once again noticed.
Unreal Engine is featured in the opening logos of two consecutive special effects blockbusters, and even ordinary people cannot ignore it.
Among them, the most heated discussion is undoubtedly the Internet.
"Have you watched Star Ocean, which is very popular recently? I noticed that there is a new logo at the beginning of the movie. Is that a new film and television company? The name seems to be Unreal, I have never heard of it before."
"Upstairs, I've done some research for you. That logo is not a company, but a software called Unreal Engine. The special effects were also produced by the studio that developed this software. It's the same as the previous Detroit movie.
Just like any other superhero movie in the industry.”
"Unreal Engine? Help with special effects development? I've never heard of it, and it didn't seem to be famous at all in the past."
"Let me tell you, I am an industry insider in the film and television industry. This Unreal Engine has never appeared before. It is a brand-new special effects development software. I heard that it can save the cost of special effects to a great extent. We in film and television
The boss of the company is also considering purchasing it, but the other party requires that it must be purchased for more than ten years, but it can be paid in installments. It also requires that the Unreal Engine logo must appear at the beginning of the movie. Of course, this can be used as an additional payment for advertising."
The person who said this obviously sounded very familiar with the recent industry news, and he told a lot of inside information in one breath.
This post immediately attracted more people's attention.
Then another person who broke the news appeared in the comments below, and he broke the news with an update.
"According to my research, the developer of Unreal Engine is the strongest game company at the moment: Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. Their games dominate the video game industry. Now it seems that they are planning to cross over and prepare to enter special effects development.
In the market, many people thought that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was playing with fire before, but now it seems that their crossover is very successful."
Regarding Unreal Engine, all news related to Youxing Electronic Entertainment was quickly disclosed.
The media loves to create buzz.
They also like to use various exaggerated words to describe the crossover of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, calling it a very successful transformation. Even if the game industry stops progressing, Youxing Electronic Entertainment can still make crazy money in the future.
, this is still a very high-quality company with potential.
The only regrettable thing is that Youxing Electronic Entertainment does not accept any investment and always operates as an independent company, controlled by Zhuyouxing alone.
After many years, Takeyusei, a young Japanese entrepreneur, once again appeared on the front pages of many newspapers in the United States.
Obviously, there were still voices of doubt some time ago, but now they act as if nothing happened, and they turn around and start praising Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
However, some people are happy and some are sad.
Especially those people who had bet with Tukarev before, they now have a headache when they see any news related to Unreal Engine.
"Damn! Damn the Japanese!"
In the office of the boss of a certain film and television company, their boss was beating things angrily.
He is an upstart, and he has always been at odds with Tukarev. The two have competed many times in the film and television industry and other industries. He has an advantage in every competition, so he has always been able to dominate Tukarev.
High-spirited.
But Tukarev has always had a bad temper. No matter how he failed, he would not give up easily. He did not mind being humiliated after failure. He stood up and continued to fight against several competitors.
However, Tukarev has not made big bets with his competitors before. This time is the biggest one. As long as Tukarev fails, he will quit the film and television industry.
Having experienced numerous previous successes, Tukarev's competitors had no doubt that something would go wrong this time.
They were all ready to wait until everything was settled, laugh and humiliate Tukarev, and then tell him to go back to his hometown in Russia and raise pigs as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass himself in the United States again.
Unexpectedly, the sudden appearance of Youxing Electronic Entertainment really disrupted their strategy.
This time Star Ocean is very successful, and the audience buys it. It has a box office of 100 million US dollars in the first week, and the general response to the movie is very good, so the subsequent box office will not be too bad.
Obviously Tukarev will win this time.
Tukarev's opponents can win countless times, but Tukarev himself only needs to win once. He only needs to win once to feel proud.
The bosses of these film and television companies will also be furious.
At this moment, no one dares to touch their boss's troubles until he calms down and sits alone in a somewhat messy office in a daze.
However, he quickly regained his composure, pulled on his tie, then picked up the cell phone on the ground and dialed a random number.
"Hey, let's go out and have a drink."
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then replied: "Okay."
The person on the other end of the phone was also Tukarev's competitor and someone who had made a bet with Tukarev.
Now that Tukarev has basically won, this means that these guys have to apologize to Tukarev in person. This hurts their self-esteem, so they are ready to unite.
On the other side, in Yuxing Special Effects Studio, Zhu Yusing is personally supervising the development of new projects.
After finishing the Xinghai Infinite project, Youxing Electronic Entertainment started preparing for new work without stopping.
And this new job will naturally be related to games.
At this moment, Tukarev came to the studio very happily.
"Zhuyou, my good friend! You allowed me to win this bet! I must thank you very much!"
Tukarev showed his iconic big brother hearty smile. He was really happy today.
Winning a bet is more satisfying than doubling his box office income.
He felt very happy when he saw how exhausted those guys were.
Naturally, Zhu Youxing also congratulated Tukarev.
"What are you doing? Have you got a new movie special effects production project? Which company is it from?" Tukarev looked at the busy employees in the studio intentionally or unintentionally, and then asked curiously.
Zhu Youxing shook his head: "This is not a film and television special effects development project, but a game development project. You have forgotten that I am still a game company after all, and I still want to continue my line of work."
