Capital is the most ruthless and will not be shaken by some emotional issues.
As long as the profit is maximized, he will not hesitate to sell his soul.
As a top film and television company, Detroit Film Group is also a top business group.
When Hayakawa Ueto realized the value of Unreal Engine, he decisively ignored the competitive relationship with Takeyusei and took the initiative to contact Takeyusei for engine authorization.
Takeyusei agreed to the authorization very generously, but because of the competition, the asking price was much higher than others. Hayakawa Ueto also recognized this, as long as the product was good enough.
Detroit Pictures also followed suit and purchased the license for film special effects production, and many films are now using Unreal Engine.
The characteristic of special effects produced by Unreal Engine is that compared with other special effects production systems and software, Unreal Engine can save more than 30% of the cost for the same special effects that are 90% better.
Of course, if you want to make the special effects quality reach 100%, the cost will still be very high, which is also a weakness.
But in fact, the average audience simply does not have time to distinguish the difference between 90% and 100% special effects.
The scenes in the movie change too quickly. Only those who are picky will care about this, but such people are unlikely to contribute more money to the company.
This also makes Detroit Pictures rely more and more on this special effects software.
It's just that although it relies heavily on this special effects software, Detroit Pictures also doesn't forget to help the parent company suppress Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. This is not a conflict.
Moreover, Detroit Pictures is standing behind the scenes. Although they have secretly instructed Alfonso and other filmmakers to boycott the works of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they can continue to use Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's products calmly. No one dares to say
What.
Alfonso felt that he had really been deceived.
This makes him slightly regretful now.
But regretting it now doesn't actually make much sense. It's impossible for the works he invested in to switch to Unreal Engine to develop movies at this time. So in this case, he might as well go all the way to the dark side.
So he gritted his teeth and said: "I will invest some more money, about 30 million US dollars, to raise the quality level of the special effects to another level?"
"Of course there is no problem with this. It is possible to achieve a quality of about 95%."
"Then do it." Alfonso decided directly, and then began to inject funds into the special effects production team with great distress.
This is all real money, but there is no other good way now.
This is his most ambitious work over the years, and there is nothing wrong with the quality of the film itself. As long as this kind of film is released, it should be able to at least maintain its capital if there are no surprises.
However, at this moment, he is a little obsessed with Unreal Engine.
He felt that this thing must be a good thing, after all, it could save a lot of money, but it was a pity that it was made by a company that he had boycotted before.
It's really a bit regrettable.
At the same time, this also made Alfonso simply break the jar.
Since it doesn't work, just continue to belittle and slander him. Anyway, he should have been blacklisted by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
So that night he chose to be a guest on a show.
This is an American talk show format. The host is very topical and can stir up the atmosphere. It is a well-known talk show host. Its nature is probably similar to the original World Jimmy Show, but this talk show is in the form of a live broadcast.
, usually the same day’s program will be broadcast at the same time on the same day.
After he arrived at the scene, he had some simple interactions with the host, which he was already familiar with. Then he went straight to the topic, which was to continue to criticize Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for its irresponsible behavior in the film industry.
But the words are similar to what I said before. Why should a game producer do things above the director? This is a kind of contempt for the film industry.
"If I were to make a judgment, I think Youxing Electronic Entertainment should not get involved in the film industry. They are obviously very successful in their own industry, so they should continue to maintain this advantage. If they have a certain IP series they want to
When it comes to making film adaptations, I think it’s better to cooperate with professional film and television companies instead of making films by yourself.”
"Alfonso, from what you say, do you think you are a more suitable partner?"
The host said with a bit of ridicule.
This host seems to have a talent for igniting the fire, and he can hit the point directly in one sentence.
"Me? I definitely won't, because Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is a company that doesn't agree with my philosophy. Even if the other party asks me for it, I definitely won't agree."
Then he paused and continued: "However, when it comes to the IP of the movie, I have actually been making a movie recently. The special effects are very good. We have screened the short film internally and the response has been very good. This
This kind of movie is very suitable for watching in the cinema. If the audience is interested..."
"Well, please wait a moment! Please wait a moment!"
Just when Alfonso was preparing to promote his movie, and the host was cooperating and planning to praise it, a voice rang out from the audience.
The camera quickly switched to the auditorium, and then the auditorium's focused lights lit up, illuminating a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.
The young man was a little angry at this time.
"Friend, do you have any questions?" the host asked proactively.
"I would like to ask Mr. Alfonso, why do you think that the Final Fantasy movie produced under the supervision of Zhu Yuxing is very bad?"
"It's very simple, because he is not in the film industry and he is not professional in this area." Alfonso shrugged matter-of-factly.
The fact seems to be true. Zhu Youxing is not very good at scheduling and controlling the filming process in the film industry. Otherwise, he would not hand over the management authority to the director, making the director a steward of the film instead of an inspiration.
sponsor.
Alfonso didn't seem to have much of a problem with this kind of explanation and answer.
The young man added at this time: "Maybe you don't know Zhu Youxing. Many of the games he produced have very outstanding plots and stories. Some stories can even be called masterpieces and classics, no less than an excellent movie.
"
Alfonso looked at the young man calmly and said: "So? So if he is very successful in the game industry, he will be equally successful in the film industry? My child, you are too young. The film industry is not as good as you think.
Damn it, every industry has its difficulties. How could a layman easily defeat us professionals? If it really happened, wouldn’t all our years of hard work be a joke?”
