In the process of Zhu Yuxing tracking the special effects production, he is also in control of the progress of the game development.
With the exception of a few groups that are working on Final Fantasy 7, several other groups continue to release their games step by step.
Of course, Zhu Yuxing no longer has to control the works they make.
He just needs to control the overall quality of the final game.
This time is also the easiest opportunity for them to develop their own game development skills.
During this period, there were also one or two talents with good game development capabilities, who had already emerged and started to have a certain reputation in the industry.
However, under the halo of Zhuyouxing, they still looked a little dim.
But this has just become an umbrella to protect their growth. They will not be disturbed by the outside world in the process of developing the game, and they can use the money to create their favorite game world. This is also a very happy thing for them. matter.
When October 1997 arrived, a special effects film from the Detroit Film Group was on schedule.
The film tells the story of a young man living in New York, USA, who grows up to be a hero.
There are also systematic superhero IPs in this world. The stories of these superheroes are also very similar to those of the superhero comics in the previous life, and Detroit Pictures happens to own some of the copyrights.
Since they had just acquired Unreal Engine, a tool for reducing the cost of special effects, they immediately applied the software to their superhero movie.
The total production cost of the film was compressed to almost more than 80 million US dollars under a good production management system, and then it was officially released in October with a fan base.
Generally speaking, the finished film of the movie is a very Hollywood-style popcorn movie. The scenes are exciting enough to make people linger. This is a qualified superhero movie and has been widely praised.
For the audience, the movie is good enough to have a good weekend.
For people in the film and television industry, it has a different meaning.
Hunter is a director of a film and television company. He is also a person who likes watching movies very much. He has liked watching movies since he was a child. He will establish a film production company through his continuous efforts.
Every time a new movie with a certain reputation is released, he will watch it for the first time, whether the movie is made by the opponent or not.
If this is placed in Huaxia, it is probably equivalent to a typical example of knowing ourselves and knowing our enemies.
When he walked out of the movie theater after watching the superhero movie filmed by Detroit Pictures, he still had some thoughts.
The special effects of this movie are very good, although it is not a full score, it is close to a nine.
The depth of the plot is also good, and obviously the script has been well polished.
Under such conditions, the film will definitely be a success, and the box office should not be too bad.
The special effects production of this film is estimated to cost at least $100 million. If the cost is properly controlled, the total production cost of $140 million is a reasonable range.
He took out his mobile phone and began to check the information on the mobile phone through the Internet.
Recently, the new technology of logging in to the Internet with mobile phones has become popular in the United States. You only need to bring a smart phone to enter the world's Internet ocean. He thinks this is a very fashionable thing, and he People of this level are not bad at all, even if the price of mobile Internet is higher now, he doesn't care at all.
Entering the news network through his mobile phone, he quickly found information related to the film.
Detroit Pictures has announced the release date of its superhero movie and sincerely invites fans to enjoy it, promising to see the movie will definitely be worth the money.
He glanced at these slobbers and found the content of the information that he cared about the most.
According to the interview of this media reporter, the overall budget of the film is well controlled within the range of 80 million US dollars, including the entire production cost of the film and television, excluding the announcement of the film and television.
"Impossible!"
Suddenly, Hunter shouted on the street with a slight gaffe.
This suddenly caused many people to turn their heads and stop, looking at Hunter strangely.
Hunter also reacted, quickly left the place, walked in front of his car and entered the car, and then he immediately took out his mobile phone again to confirm the information.
It 's 10 million...
80 million dollars. That's right. The total production cost is 800 million dollars. No company is stupid enough to spend so much money to make a movie.
But how is this done?
How could that kind of special effect be produced with only a total cost of 80 million?
It's not a full-scale special effect, there are still some flaws, but it is enough for the audience watching the movie.
Hollywood is a place that pays attention to cost control, and any Hollywood film and television company is quite stingy in controlling costs.
Even if it can save tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands more, I will try my best to save it.
It is their dream to make a blockbuster with the least amount of money.
At this moment, Hunter couldn't help but dialed a number.
"Hey, now prepare me all the materials related to the new superhero movie released by Detroit Pictures, and I will go back to the company to watch it now."
Hunter still didn't quite believe in the price of this cost control, and he decided to return to the company in person Just go have a look.
Maybe the media company didn't investigate the truth and couldn't just listen to this one media news report.
Back at the company, the employees who worked overtime on the weekends were obviously very upset, but they couldn't disobey the boss's order, so they arranged all the information immediately and put them on Hunter's desk.
He entered his office, and a stack of documents had been prepared, and he immediately picked them up one by one to check.
These materials are as small as the procurement information of some related industries, as large as the on-site interviews of some major media, all of which are here.
As the boss of a film and television company, he is very competent. He is not the kind of guy who only knows how to make money and enjoy himself. Only in this way can he have a place in the highly competitive film and television market like the United States.
In this world, the development of the cultural industry is very strong. Except for the game industry, other cultural industries are extremely competitive. It is not particularly easy to make money if you want to lie flat, and the audience will not buy it easily.
He read the pile of information in front of Hunter from noon until after ten o'clock in the evening, and finally read all of them.
And when he saw it all, he was still in a trance.
Really...for a total cost of only $80 million...that's unbelievable.
