Chapter 155: Light a fire
“Game production?”
He Qian's words surprised Meng Huo. He had said this, but he had not seriously planned the game.
Making games is not simpler than making animations. Meng Huo is lucky to acquire Huayue Animation, but he doesn't know any game production company that can be acquired directly, etc...
Meng Huo was suddenly stunned. There was someone doing animation in the hacker organization where He Qian was in. It was impossible that no one made games, right?
He quickly asked He Qian.
"Yes." He Qian nodded: "I'm going to help people, and it's not difficult to become a game production company with twenty or thirty people."
The people in the Hongmeng are computer experts, and most of them are also engaged in this area. He Qian cannot guarantee how many people she has attracted, but twenty or thirty are absolutely fine.
But setting up a company is simple, without funds, without game planning, and even a game cannot be made. Just so happens that Meng Huo can provide this aspect, and he showed his joy: "What kind of games can you do?"
"I don't know about large online games, but most other games are fine."
He Xi answered.
"Can text adventure games be made? Where are barrage games? And simple role-playing games..."
Meng Huo continued to ask excitedly.
"The barrage game is very simple. Role-playing depends on how complicated it is..." He Qian frowned: "As for text adventure, what kind of game is that?"
There is no GALGAME in this world yet, and the concept of text love cultivation has not yet been formed. Meng Huo had to briefly tell He Qian about the specific details of this game.
"Ah, that's it..." He Qian seemed surprised after hearing this: "With current game technology, this kind of game is very simple to make... But will anyone play this kind of game?"
In her opinion, this is not a game at all, it is for playing. And what Meng Huo said is more like a story machine wearing a game skin. Others are not playing games at all, but watching stories.
"Don't worry if anyone plays it." Meng Huo didn't mind at all: "Tell me directly, can you play this kind of game?"
"No problem." He Qian nodded: "It's too simple to make this game framework. We can do it in a few weeks. But it requires a lot of script stories, drawings, and soundtracks, and we can't do it."
The most expensive thing about GALGAME is its content. It takes a lot of time to play the script and music voice actors, and even the requirements for drawing are very high, and it will not be completed alone like a comic.
But none of these are the problems, Meng Huo already has great ideas.
"You can get the people together first. I will be responsible for the company." Meng Huo said: "You can start construction immediately after you get all the people together."
He made a very straightforward decision. GALGAME's cost is very low, and most of the content provided by him is as much as 1 million yuan. Not to mention Phoenix Company, even Meng Huo doesn't take such a small amount of money seriously.
"Let's do this... He Xizhi's family will also be held responsible." Meng Huo thought for a while and said, "I'll invest."
When buying a house, Meng Huo did not pay it in one lump sum, and his bank card still had nearly 2 million yuan. This money not only could maintain He Xizhi's survival, but it would not even be a problem to make the first game.
However, Meng Huo prefers to buy it in the name of Phoenix Company, with little investment and can share the resources of Phoenix Company. In short, the game artist can choose from the company.
He Qian agreed, saying that she could gather ten people to start work within a few days. Then the remaining people might have to spend more time. Meng Huo felt that the speed was already amazingly fast, so he didn't say anything.
When the meeting ended, Jiang Yuxin left first, and He Qian told Meng Huo one more thing.
"The hype of "The Young Emperor" was interrupted by us last night, but it is still hyping around today. Should we help stop it?"
She knew that "Pokemon" was an opponent of "Young Emperor", so she said this, but Meng Huo disagreed: "Forget it, just do whatever you want. Fry it whatever you want."
The hype of animation has a certain impact on the ratings, but the audience is not blind, and the final decision is the quality of the animation. Meng Huo does not take "The Young Emperor" seriously at all.
"All right."
He Qian smiled. After returning home, she immediately asked her companions to stop suppressing them.
"The mud cannot support the wall, Teacher He Xi said he would ignore them."
As she said this to her companion, the words somehow passed on to Li Tianhui's ears.
The reason for hype this is simple. "The Young Emperor" was broadcast behind "The Pokemon", and the ratings were OK. Ninghai TV bought out the premiere rights for an episode of 400,000 yuan.
Li Tianhui was proud of himself. He could recover the cost by broadcasting an episode. "The Young Emperor" has such great potential. If you take the opportunity to hype it up, it might not be difficult to surpass "The Pokemon"!
He invited the Internet promoter to help, and the result was conceivable - he was defeated inexplicably on the first day.
The next day, Li Tianhui felt ruthless. If he couldn't ask for one, he would invite three or four! That day he personally supervised the battle, but he didn't expect that the three or four hype organizations could only compete with the people of "Pokemon".
"That guy must have found a pusher too!"
Li Tianhui thought this way and spent money to hire several groups. As expected, the journey was smooth and overwhelming. In the blink of an eye, he overwhelmed "Pokemon". But before he could be happy, news suddenly came - the reason why he could successfully hype was because He Xi didn't want to pay attention to it.
"The mud cannot support the wall!"
Li Tianhui gritted his teeth. He misunderstood what He Xi said, and he was so angry that he trembled all over.
"Okay, okay... you don't want to pay attention, right! I'll force you to pay attention!" Li Tianhui didn't sleep in the middle of the night. He found many newspapers and media, thinking that he must spread the news about "Young Emperor" all over Ninghai.
"Reported? No problem..."
"Young Master Li, don't worry, the headlines are all yours!"
"I see "The Young Emperor" online is very popular. If you don't say it, we will report it, Mr. Li!"
The newspapers all gave affirmative answers. Li Tianhui went home to sleep with satisfaction. Although it was only half a night, he still felt refreshed when he woke up and asked the bodyguards to buy newspapers.
"Huaya Company released the latest ratings data, and Ninghai TV's "Pokemon" ratings exceeded 28%, becoming the first animation work in the history of Chinese animation with a number of episodes exceeding 20%!"
"The dark horse is coming - "Pokemon" ratings are expected to surpass popular TV series!"
"In the financial column, experts interpret the fan economic effect of cartoonist He Xi using the ratings data of "Pokemon"!"
"The Pokemon created a ratings miracle, and China has no animation that can compete with each other. CCTV animation crew finally became a laughing stock..."
In the newspaper, the news printed on the headline columns are all "Pokemon". Li Tianhui can only find a lonely title below the headline - "The Young Emperor" has attracted a lot of popularity online."
This title looks funny and ridiculous in the ratings of "Pokemon".
Not to mention defeating "The Pokemon", "The Young Emperor" doesn't even have the qualification to fight side by side with it - Li Tianhui's face was pale, and his heart felt like he was scratched by a knife.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, Huaya Company suddenly released the ratings data. The ratings of "Pokemon" are so amazing! We can't provide you with headlines - Oh, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to rush to Phoenix Company to report!"
"Mr. Li, please be a little more aware. As soon as the ratings of "Pokemon" appear, some people want to cry more than you!"
At this moment, of course, the person who wanted to cry was S5. Early in the morning, dozens of reporters surrounded them.
"Captain Yin, the first episode of "Pokemon" has a rating of 28%. As long as there is no problem later, it will definitely exceed the 34% rating of "Cat and Mouse Couple". How do you fulfill your bet at that time??"
“I’m not available to answer this question.”
Yin Jiaxiang asked the bodyguard to separate the reporter with a cold face and disappeared with his teammates.
The ratings of "Pokemon" were released, like a stone hitting a calm lake. Not only in the animation industry, but also other people who don't like animation have begun to notice this animation.
On the Vladivostok TV station in the Far East, the morning news anchor talked to the guests about the animation.
"We all know that in the ratings data released by Huaya Company today, "Pokemon" created a miracle. Before it, the highest-rated animation was "Animation Three Kingdoms" two years ago, but its first episode had a rating of only 18%, a difference of 10%. Professor Qin, what does this prove?"
"What has this proved? First of all, we should understand a background. "The Animation Three Kingdoms" is adapted from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which has the original foundation, so it is not appropriate to compare "Pokemon".
The middle-aged professor sitting in the guest seat replied: "We should compare original animations. The most popular one recently is of course "The Cat and the Mouse Couple". If I remember correctly, its first episode rating is 7.2%, which is almost a quarter of the Pokemon."
"But when it comes to these two animations, I think many people know that they contributed to CCTV's animation team at the same time." The professor shook his head and smiled: "As a result, "Pokemon" was rejected three times, and finally ended up burning. Now that I think CCTV has made a big mistake, it almost made us miss this animation."
"So what this matter proves..." The professor paused and said: "The first thing I thought of was that it proved that CCTV is no longer an authoritative. Local TV stations will do better and better in the future, and may even surpass CCTV."
"And the second thing that I proof is that I think this may bring a wave of animation production. Our country is developing related industries. The ratings of "Pokemon" are comparable to popular TV series. Then it will tempt others and will naturally attract capital and talents to start a business."
