Ideas are easy if you think of them, but difficult if you don't think of them.
Of course, the main reason is that Yu Dong and Jimmy don't care enough about the Star Card. Otherwise, if we hold a few more meetings and brainstorm, the problem would have been solved long ago.
It is said that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, but there are not a group of cobblers in deep space, but a group of Zhuge Liang.
With all these Zhuge Liangs working together, it is not difficult to come up with an idea.
"After a while, I will call Yiliang and Porter together for a small meeting to tell them about this matter. It just so happens that we are planning to hold concerts for Jay Chou and Shakira in the United States and Europe in the second half of next year. By then, we will be able to
It comes in handy," Jimmy said.
Yu Dong nodded: "We are just talking about the Starry Sky Card. Let's talk a little more. I told you last time that Xueleshan can build a game sales platform. What I want is to wait until the game sales platform is completed.
After that, we will connect the Star Card with this platform and Blizzard’s business, and in the future, our company’s users can use points to redeem games or game props.”
"Actually, I've thought about this too, but the game sales platform hasn't been launched yet. It's still a bit early to talk about it now."
"Be prepared for a rainy day," Yu Dong said with a smile.
"Okay, let's prepare for a rainy day." Jimmy also laughed, and then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Steven came to see you this afternoon, but after seeing the note on your door, he transferred
Dao went to see me, and I told him that you should be writing a new book, so he didn’t come to see you."
Just to prevent foreigners like Spielberg, Yu Dong specially wrote Chinese and English on the note. But what Yu Dong didn't expect was that Spielberg came to see him midway, and this guy was so peaceful.
, did not break in directly.
"Why did Steven come to me at this time? Did he come alone or with Lucas?" Yu Dong asked curiously.
"He came alone. George has returned to the United States and will come back in a few days. He asked me if our company is interested in buying a game studio."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, wondering what Spielberg meant.
"What game studio?" Yu Dong asked.
Jimmy smiled and said, "After 'Saving Private Ryan' was released, Steven has always wanted to make a game with the background of World War II."
"Well, I know this, but hasn't DreamWorks already made this game? I remember it was playable on PS some time ago."
"Yes, this game is very popular and has very good ratings."
"Then what does he mean? It can't be that he wants us to acquire the game department of DreamWorks, right?" Yu Dong said with a smile.
Jimmy shook his head and said: "In fact, the sequel to this game is already in production and will be launched next year. But Spielberg is not satisfied. He hopes to make a PC game to enrich the gameplay. He believes that PS
It cannot express what his story wants to express very well. DreamWorks obviously does not have this ability, so Spielberg has been looking for a suitable company during this period. Just two days ago, Spielberg's assistant told
He found a studio. Although the studio has just been established and has few works, it has good technology and great ideas."
"So, can't he just hand over the game to this studio? Why do you want to tell us this?" Yu Dong asked strangely.
Although they have a good relationship, Yu Dong doesn't think that Spielberg is so kind and goes around looking for powerful studios for their company. The reason why Spielberg told them this is obviously because he has a purpose.
Jimmy said with a smile, "Spielberg didn't just want to make the game. Ever since he saw that we acquired Blizzard and Sierra, he also had some thoughts and wanted to get involved. We acquired Blizzard and Sierra.
The establishment of a new game division is a foregone conclusion, and he will definitely not be able to get involved, but he naturally has other options, such as this studio, which he hopes to acquire together with us."
"That's true." Yu Dong nodded.
Spielberg probably took a fancy to the strength of this studio, but if he acquired it alone, would he be able to guarantee that he would be able to run the studio well? He didn’t have the energy or ability, so he wanted to pull Shen into the studio.
Empty together.
By tying up Shen Kong, on the one hand, you can share risks with him, and on the other hand, you can leave the management of the studio to Shen Kong, and he only needs to wait for the dividends.
In fact, this kind of cooperation is beneficial to both parties. Although Spielberg does not contribute to running the company, he contributes his story scripts.
The reason why "Medal of Honor" produced by DreamWorks has a high rating is certainly not due to the superb game production technology of DreamWorks. The key is because the game was written and directed by Spielberg, and the script played a big role in this.
"What's the name of the studio he's talking about?"
"I haven't heard of Game Studio 2015. Spielberg told us that if we were interested, he would give us a demo produced by this company to check out."
2015 Game Studio... Yu Dong searched in his mind and couldn't find this name. This is normal. After all, he only knows so much about the game industry. He doesn't know about studios or companies that are less famous.
knew.
However, since Spielberg is interested, the other party should have two brushes and can at least make contact with him.
"Okay, I'll contact him later and ask him to show us the studio's demo. If possible, we can continue the discussion... If this matter can be settled, let's quickly develop a game sales platform
When the time comes, let Snow Mountain publish the game written by Spielberg and sell it directly on our sales platform."
"I think so too, but as a result, there are still a few games on the platform. Except for "Half-Life" and this new game, the others are all casual, and both of them are shooting games.
Are the games too single? The beginning is often very important. If users are left with the impression that there are few games on the platform at the beginning, it will be very detrimental to the subsequent development of the platform."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's a bit small, but don't worry, during this time we can contact those game developers and persuade them to sell their games on our platform, such as "FIFA", I
Remember there are no restrictions on their sales channels, they probably won’t mind having one more sales channel.”
"Okay, after the annual meeting is settled, I will put the sales platform on the agenda and try to make it available to everyone as soon as possible." After saying that, Jimmy looked at his watch and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"not yet."
"Neither do I. Then let's go to dinner together and go straight to the show after dinner."
"good."
…
When Yu Dong and the three of them came to the front of the stage after dinner, it was already early seven o'clock, and the audience was basically ready.
There are two rows of seats next to the stage, which are considered VIP seats and are reserved for some important guests. Company executives such as Jiang Jie, Yiliang, and Canbot are also there.
Perhaps it was because the stands in the back blocked the cold wind, so Yu Dong and the others didn't feel the cold at all where they were sitting.
Of course, even if you are a little cold, you will be dispelled by the enthusiasm of the audience.
Spielberg was sitting in front of Yu Dong. When he saw Yu Dong approaching, he turned to talk to Yu Dong, "I'm looking for..."
Yu Dong only heard the two words "I'm looking for", but couldn't hear the rest clearly because the sound was too noisy. Even though the performance hadn't started, the audience was already very excited.
On the contrary, the voices of several female audience members not far away in the back row could be heard clearly.
Yu Dong made a gesture with his hand next to his ear, indicating that he couldn't hear what Spielberg was saying.
Spielberg understood, nodded, and pointed in the direction of the office. Yu Dong understood that he meant to go to the office after the program was over, so he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Yu Dong nodding, Spielberg turned back with satisfaction.
The performance was originally scheduled to start at 7:30, but at 7:20, the lights suddenly dimmed, including the lights of several nearby buildings.
For a moment, people's voices stopped. For about two or three seconds, the stage lights suddenly came on again, and a figure appeared on the stage. The audience didn't even see clearly who was standing on the stage.
Already started to scream.
Yu Dong didn't see clearly either, but the music that played immediately let him know who was on the stage.
The song "This Killer Can't Be Cold" made the singer of "Shape Of My Heart" famous all over the country. Especially the intro of this song sounds particularly emotional.
Hearing this song, the atmosphere at the scene became even more heated. Yu Dong could feel his eardrums buzzing from the screams of several girls in the back row.
Sting was not invited by Deep Space Company to perform. The invitation letter sent by Deep Space to the couple only allowed them to attend the annual meeting. However, after receiving the invitation letter, Sting took the initiative and said that he would sing a song at the scene.
.
Since Sting was so enthusiastic, Shen Kong naturally did not refuse and even arranged for him to start singing.
The reason why I sang "Shape Of My Heart" is because the employees of Shenkong told Sting that this song is the most popular in China.
Watching the performance on the stage, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh that the money spent was still useful. Although it was an open-air stage, the live effect was not bad at all. Both the lighting and sound were very different from ordinary open-air stages.
In order to build this stage, the company spent a lot of thought and used the best equipment. Even the temporary stands were made of the best materials. They were worried that too many people in the stands would cause safety hazards.
.
The materials used must be good, otherwise, based on the movements of the spectators at the scene, even if the stands do not collapse, they will not be so stable.
I have been writing a book for a day, so it would be nice to join in the fun with Cheng Yanqiu in the audience.
Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Yu Dong couldn't help but laugh. It had been a long time since the couple had watched a performance with so many audiences in the audience like today.
After Sting finished singing "Shape Of My Heart", he sang another song "All This Time".
After these two songs ended, the place became completely heated, and most of the audience in the back row had already stood up.
Now that I have stood up, it is naturally difficult to sit down. Following Sting is the newcomer group Mayday.
Since she had already performed in the morning, Mayday only sang one song "Hug" in the evening and then left the stage.
After the May sky went down, Zhang Yu, Li Wen, Xin, Shakira...
The entire performance lasted for nearly two hours. Just when the audience's enthusiasm was about to begin to decline, the lights dimmed again.
When the lights dimmed, a burst of screams suddenly erupted from the scene, and the screams were mixed with some names, including Carey, Kelly, Butterfly, Jay, Jay Chou, Jay Chou... various names.
However, these titles only refer to two people, Mariah Carey and Jay Chou.
Needless to say, Jay Chou, as the leading singer of deep space pop music today, will definitely have to have an occasion like today.
Jay Chou didn't play in the morning. Many people waited until the evening to see him.
As for Mariah Carey, she is the most famous singer signed by Deep Space Company this year, and before the annual meeting even started, Deep Space Company had already announced that Mariah Carey would be on this year’s music theme day.
Appear on stage.
There are even many posters and signboards of Mariah Carey placed in the concert hall.
The audience had been listening to the song for nearly two hours, and had not waited for these two people. Now that the lights were dimmed, they naturally knew that one of them was going to appear, but they just didn't know who would come out first and who would come out last.
For five seconds, the lights on the stage didn't even come on.
At the sixth second, a piano sound came from the stage.
With just a few simple notes, the crowd burst into cheers, "Kelly!"
Yes, this piano sound is the prelude to "Without You".
The intro of this song is not long, and soon Mariah Carey's extremely powerful vocals come out.
After the song started, the lights came on, and Mariah Carey stood on the stage wearing a long black dress. Her voice was steady despite the cold wind.
At this moment, the cheers suddenly became louder and another name came out - Jay Chou.
Right next to Mariah Carey, Jay Chou, who was wearing a black suit, was sitting next to a piano. The sound of the piano just now came from his hands.
Just now, the audience was wondering who would come out first, Jay Chou or Mariah Carey, but they didn't expect that the two of them would appear on stage together.
Most of the audience had never thought about what it would be like for Jay Chou and Mariah Carey to collaborate on stage. Now that they have seen it, they don’t feel it is inconsistent at all. Jay Chou’s piano sound matches Mariah Carey’s.
The vocals are perfectly combined, presenting a perfect stage to the audience.
