Chapter 235 It's all small money!
After the trial, Fan Zhe had basically no big concern about the quality of the game "Taiwu Painting 2".
He himself is also a relatively senior game fan. He has his own feelings about the quality of a game.
However, if you don’t worry about quality, it doesn’t mean that there is no problem elsewhere.
In fact, the work "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" itself has a huge natural disadvantage.
No matter how outstanding the gameplay is or how beautiful the picture effect is, its natural disadvantages are inevitable: this is a Chinese-style game, from the style of painting to the story to the characters to the connotation, this entire worldview is all authentic Chinese classical martial arts, which combines a little mythical elements and is also Chinese mythology, and there are some philosophical thinking originating from Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
And in this world, there has never been a game like this, which makes people even more unpredictable. After this theme becomes a masterpiece of 3A, how many people will be willing to buy it?
In the domestic market, there is no need to worry about this issue.
Chinese players have been looking forward to their own 3a masterpiece for a long time. Especially such a game is still the purest Chinese theme like "martial arts".
When the game quality is absolutely up to level, you don’t have to worry too much about sales.
However, then again, a 3a masterpiece that only serves a single market is not enough.
In the current domestic game market environment, under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for a game of this level to be born.
The investment in the development of "Taiwu Painting 2" is claimed to be 1.2 billion yuan to the outside world, which is nearly 200 million US dollars.
No one would invest so much money to develop a game except them.
Don't get me wrong, this does not mean that "Dimension Entertainment" is so rich. No matter how rich they are, can they still compare to the current giants in the domestic gaming industry, Penguin?
But it is impossible to ask Penguin to take out more than one billion to make a game.
Change your skin, copy and create card mobile games to attract a wave of krypton gold... In the domestic game market, the method of making money and making big money will be too much, and the investment will be small, and the risk will be small. If you make a pesticide, you will have less investment and more money, which is very exciting.
Penguin, or all capitalists, will only throw more than one billion yuan in their brains and develop a masterpiece if they have any problems. What should I do if I fail?
What's more, in the domestic game market, there is another huge problem that plagues all people who engage in game development or content, that is, pirated versions.
Pirates are a huge problem that can ruin an industry.
Therefore, when there is a better investment direction, better ways to make money, and the domestic market environment and piracy issues make domestic 3A masterpieces full of risk of failure, no capital will be willing to spend money on this matter.
But, the 3a masterpiece requires a lot of capital investment, which only capitalists can afford.
Of course, in recent years, the domestic copyright awareness is getting better and better, and everyone has gradually become the correct awareness of "can't starve the chef to death" and "pay for content". Although pirated users are still mainstream, at least in the public opinion trend, "I am glorious when I use pirates" is no longer popular. People who use pirates will usually be despised when they emerge in a noble way.
At the same time, relevant national legislation and management aspects are also promoting this matter.
But despite this, judging from the current domestic market situation, it is still an extremely difficult thing for "Taiwu Painting 2" to recover costs in the domestic market.
"Taiwu 2" wants to recover costs and even generate good profits, it has to sell nearly ten million copies.
A game that costs more than 300 yuan, sold 10 million copies in the domestic market, is so difficult that it is almost impossible.
As a result, the global market becomes particularly important.
The largest market for 3a masterpieces is still in Europe and the United States, followed by Japan and South Korea, and then Asia, Africa and Latin America.
In this way, the theme of "martial arts" has become a big problem: can it be popular overseas, especially in the very important European and American markets?
Fan Zhe himself was unsure.
Those foreign players who have never received the baptism of "martial arts" or even do not have the concept of "martial arts" may refuse to try this game due to huge differences in cultural background.
This is what Van Zhe is most worried about.
Only qualified capitalists will not make such investments.
But no matter what, Van Zhe is not that kind of capitalist.
He knew that he had a great chance of losing in this big bet. But so what? There was always someone going out to take this step.
Anyway, he has a "dimensional" system behind his back. If he loses the bet, the real investment amount is not that terrifying, only more than 300 million.
It’s more than 300 million yuan, a small amount of money! I can afford to lose!
Fan Zhe was still very open-minded about this matter.
Of course, it is best to achieve commercial success in the work and truly allow the whole world to appreciate the charm of martial arts.
...
Ye Jiayi is already following up on the global distribution work related to "Taiwu Painting 2".
She is really a busy person now. On the one hand, she has to do acquiring Xinmo Media, and on the other hand, she also has to focus on the release of "Taiwu Painting 2".
These two things combined involve 30 to 4 billion yuan!
Quite exaggerated.
But he is still able to support it at the moment, and the problem is not too big.
After "supervising" the development progress of "Taiwu Painting 2", Fan Zhe returned to the crew of "Master of Martial Arts" with satisfaction and was ready to start the filming of this film and television series.
After confirming several outdoor scenes, the crew's shooting officially began.
Film and television dramas are not the same as what we usually see on TV and movie screens.
When shooting, it is impossible to shoot in the order of the TV series playing, it will be exhausting. Generally speaking, shooting is based on the scene.
For example, in "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", what I decided to film first is all the fighting scenes on the arena. The entire crew will shoot all the scenes in one go in the venue rented in the film and television center in the suburbs of Shenghai, and then turn to other scenes.
Obviously, for the work "Master of Martial Arts", the content of the arena fighting accounts for a large proportion in the entire drama. At the same time, it is also a part of the filming that is relatively difficult.
Although the scene of the ring is simple, there are various synthesis methods in the later stage.
However, fighting itself is not simple. The action team invited by Fan Zhe made a beautiful move design, but it is not easy to implement in many places.
