Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 499 Capital is the Most Ruthless (210)

498
Capital is the most ruthless, and it will not be shaken by some emotional problems.

As long as the interests are maximized, even if the soul is sold at all costs.

As a top film and television company, Detroit Film Group is also a top business group.

When Hayakawa Ukito realized the value of Unreal Engine, he decisively ignored the competition with Zhu Yuxing and took the initiative to contact Zhu Yuxing for authorization of the engine.

Zhu Yuxing also agreed to the authorization very generously, but because of competition, the asking price is much higher than others. Ueto Hayakawa also recognizes this, as long as the things are good enough.

Detroit Pictures followed suit and purchased the license for special effects production, and now many movies are using Unreal Engine.

The characteristic of special effects produced by Unreal Engine is that if compared with other special effects production systems and software, the same special effects are ninety percent, and Unreal Engine can save more than 30.00% of the cost.

Of course, if you want to make the special effect quality reach [-]%, the cost will still be very high, which is also a weakness.

But in fact, the average audience simply doesn't have time to distinguish between ninety percent and one hundred percent special effects.

The film cuts so quickly that only a nitpicker would care, but that kind of person is unlikely to contribute more money to the company.

This also makes Detroit Pictures now rely more and more on this special effects software.

It's just that although they are very dependent on this special effect software, Detroit Pictures did not forget to help the head office to suppress Yuxing Electronic Entertainment by the way. This is not a conflict.

Moreover, Detroit Pictures is standing behind the scenes. Although they secretly instructed Alfonso and other filmmakers to boycott Yuxing Entertainment's works, they can continue to use Yuxing Entertainment's products while remaining calm. No one dares to say what.

Alfonso felt that he was really being fooled.

This makes him slightly regret now.

But it doesn't make much sense to regret it now, and it is impossible for the works he invested to switch to Unreal Engine to develop movies at this time, so if this is the case, just go all the way to the black.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "I will invest some more funds, about another 3000 million US dollars, can the quality of special effects be raised to another level?"

"This is of course no problem. It is possible to achieve a quality of around 90.00% five."

"Then do it." Alfonso made a direct decision, and then began to inject funds into the special effects production team very distressed.

This is all real money, but there is no other good way now.

This is his ambitious work over the years. There is nothing wrong with the quality of the movie itself. As long as this kind of movie is released, then if there are no accidents, it should at least be able to protect its capital.

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 he boycotted before.

It's really a pity.

At the same time, this also made Alfonso simply break the jar.

Since it can't be used, then continue to belittle and slander it. Anyway, I should have been blacklisted by Youxing Electronic Entertainment by now.

So that night he chose to be a guest on a show.

This is an American talk show program. The host is very topical and can bring the atmosphere very much. It is a well-known talk show host program. , usually the same day the program will be broadcast at the same time.

After he came to the scene, he had some simple interactions with the host, which he was already familiar with, and then he began to go straight to the theme, that is, continue to criticize the irresponsible behavior of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's involvement in the film industry.

However, the words are similar to those before. It is a kind of contempt for the film industry that a game producer should do things above the director.

"If I were to judge, 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 series of IP that they want For film adaptation, I think it is better to cooperate with a professional film and television company instead of making a film by myself.”

"Alfonso, listening to you, do you think you are a more suitable partner?"

The host said with a bit of sarcasm.

This host seems to have a talent for fighting fires, and he points directly to the point in one sentence.

"Me? I definitely won't, because the company Yuxing Electronic Entertainment does not agree with my philosophy. Even if the other party asks me, I will definitely not agree."

Then he paused and continued: "However, when it comes to the IP of the movie, I've been making a movie recently. The special effects are very good. We have already screened the short film internally, and the response is very good. 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 also cooperated and planned to tout it, a voice sounded from the audience under the stage.

The camera quickly cuts to the auditorium, and then the focused lights of the auditorium come on, shining on a young man who appears to be in his early twenties.

The young man carried a little bit of indignation at this time.

"My friend, do you have any questions?" The host asked proactively.

"I want to ask Mr. Alfonso, why do you think that the Final Fantasy film supervised by Takeyusei is very bad?"

"It's very simple, because he is not in the film industry, he is not professional in this field." Alfonso said with a natural shrug.

The fact seems to be the case. 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, and let the director become a steward of the film, not an inspiration. sponsor.

It seems that Alfonso's explanation and answer are not too big a problem.

The young man said at this time: "Then you may not know Zhu Yuxing, many of the games he made have very good plot stories, and 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 what? So he is very successful in the game industry, and he can be equally successful in the film industry for granted? You are too young, the film industry is not as good as you think. Mixed, every industry has its difficulties, how could a layman easily beat us professionals? If it really happened, wouldn’t our hard work for so many years be a joke?”
