Before the dwarf hero could kill all quarters, he was trapped in a heavy siege, especially the blind man with a blindfold, who sucked up his magic in a few strokes, making Muradin Bronze Sora powerful. Trick, but cannot be released.
"Ah! Ah..."
The howls of the Terran infantry before their deaths continued to sound, but they seemed to lose the battle after losing their commander.
The dwarf hero who was unwilling to fail was still slashing the surrounding enemies in vain. The demon hunter had already quietly approached his side and stabbed a fatal blow...
The great king of the hill fell and returned to the altar of heroes. The human force without a commander collapsed instantly, and the failure was irreparable.
"Why did you lose again?" Ryan reluctantly quit the game and asked the Blizzard technicians around him, "Is there an invincible mode? I want to torture the other races one by one!"
"Sorry, Mr. Jenkins." A technician explained, holding the eyeglasses, "This is just the latest experimental version, and many features have not yet been developed."
"Okay." Ryan stood up from the computer and said, "Does this version have a name?"
"Currently, it is tentatively scheduled to be the Reign of Chaos." Alan Adhan of Blizzard Entertainment was speaking. "This is a brand new version of Warcraft."
"Yeah~" Ryan nodded. Asked the most concerned question, "When can it be listed."
"It takes one to two years."
The two were talking. He entered the office on the other side, and after sitting down, Alan Adhan continued, "The balance of the game still needs to be perfected."
"I won't interfere with the specific operation." He didn't know much about the game industry.
When Ryan came over, I heard that Blizzard had developed a new game project, and wanted to see if it was the classic games from the previous life, but borrowed the novel of the same name he wrote in advance, and the "Warcraft" series has become more complete. Worldview. Several well-known heroes are extremely prominent in setting. The development progress and sales of the first two generations of games are very satisfactory.
Blizzard Entertainment was also affected by the stock market crash triggered by Nasdaq. Unlike those emerging IT companies, Blizzard’s stock price has been at a relatively low price under Ryan’s instruction. And Blizzard has a solid performance as a support, far from the degree of collapse.
In fact, Blizzard’s stock price has gradually stabilized because of nearly crazy performance in the past six months.
At the beginning of this year, Blizzard’s "Diablo 2" sold more than 2.5 million units within a few months of its launch. Another popular game "StarCraft" has also reached a cooperation agreement with Nintendo, and will appear on the other side's N64 game platform.
There is also Blizzard’s Battle.net. Since its opening, the number of daily registrations has averaged around 70,000 people. At its peak, it reached 150,000, and now there are close to 8 million registered users. Become the focus of attention in the industry.
All this shows the strong potential of Blizzard Entertainment and becomes an important factor in stabilizing the stock price.
Because there was an important date later, Ryan left Irvine, passed through downtown Los Angeles, and arrived in Glendale, a small city in the north, in a private club full of characteristics. , I saw the person who asked him over.
It’s definitely not a beauty that made him come here. Ryan has no intention of dating a woman now. Nicole ran back to Australia. Natalie didn’t answer his phone at all. Even Charlize Theron also picked up a new one. The movie, left Los Angeles.
Things seem to be developing in the worst direction.
However, a man's life is not only about feelings, career is the foundation of everything.
Regarding this, Ryan has always kept a clear head, so after seeing Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, he threw all his mixed thoughts behind his head.
The three of them got on the battery car and came to the golf course. Ryan picked up a set of tools, and after a few random shots, they acted as spectators. After all, they were not here to play golf, but to talk about important things.
"Steven, when did you come back?"
The weather was a bit hot, and Ryan walked under the umbrella first. After the other two sat down, he asked, "Is the shooting of "Pearl Harbor" over?"
"It's over, Michael is busy with post-production."
Taking the coffee from Ryan, Spielberg said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated you yet, Ryan, "The Matrix 2" should become the first movie this year with a box office of over $300 million."
The box office he said is naturally the North American box office.
"When will Pixar's "Monster Electric Company" be launched?" Jeffrey Katzenberg, who has been silent, suddenly said, "Facts have proved that computer animation is the future development trend, and hand-drawn animation is destined to decline."
"Don't be so pessimistic, Jeffery, believe that if we introduce computer animation technology from Pixar." Spielberg looked over, "Ryan will definitely not refuse."
"Of course." Ryan nodded solemnly, "Only when this industry has formed a sufficient scale can it create huge profits."
"Do you need me to say thank you, Ryan?" Katzenberg also laughed.
"We don't need to be so polite between us."
Even though he said so, Ryan didn’t think so in his heart. If it’s just such a thing, just a phone call is enough. DreamWorks will never send out Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg. Giant.
They must meet for another purpose.
"Toy Story 2 hasn't been released in some overseas regions yet?" Katzenberg brought the topic back to animation. "The final global box office will definitely exceed $600 million! Pixar Studios has created more and more achievements. The more amazing it is."
"DreamWorks Animation Studio is equally good." Ryan also said compliments to compliment people without any money. "The Prince of Egypt" won the praise that is rare in an animated feature film..."
"But the box office is far from meeting our expectations. You must know that, Ryan."
Hearing Spielberg's words, Ryan nodded slightly. "Prince of Egypt" earned more than 200 million US dollars in box office around the world, but compared to huge investments, it is very difficult to even recover the cost.
Moreover, the film is too adult. Although it has been praised by the industry, it is not very popular among children, which directly affects the sales of peripheral products, the bulk of the income of animated films.
The atmosphere fell into a short silence, and Katzenberg gently squeezed the table a few times and said, "Ryan, we are all old friends. You should be familiar with the difficulties encountered by DreamWorks Animation Studio..."
Before Ryan had something to say, he went on to say, “Breaking into the Golden City has brought us huge losses and directly dragged down the finances of the entire DreamWorks. We plan to spin it out separately and become an independent company.”
Lowering his eyelids slightly, Ryan did not speak. In fact, he kept people staring at the DreamWorks Animation Studio. He was very clear about what happened during this period.
Since "Little Ants", DreamWorks has been thinking about making a difference in the animation market. In fact, the strength of this new company cannot be underestimated, although last year’s "Prince of Egypt" did not reach the box office. Expected, but its magnificent visual effects combined with computer technology and traditional painting style and fine art, has been praised by the industry.
The most important thing is that they clearly analyzed that the themes of the last two works were too serious and not suitable for the atmosphere of an animated film. They deliberately recruited Tang Han, the production manager of "The Lion King" from Disney, and invested 100 million. U.S. dollars, produced a family-friendly feature film "Brave to the Golden City" that is more acceptable to children.
However, the change in style did not bring luck to the DreamWorks Animation Studios. "Break into the Golden City" landed in North America in March. After nearly four months of long-term screenings, it only got a poor five thousand in North America. Ten thousand dollars at the box office, and the overseas market has always been the weakness of DreamWorks. Besides, the current overseas markets that have only gained a mere few million dollars, can only be said to be better than nothing.
Compared with the film's 100 million US dollars production cost and more than 30 million US dollars in publicity costs, this box office directly pushed the entire DreamWorks to the edge of the cliff...
And if it spins off DreamWorks Animation Studio and lets it conduct separate financial accounting, if there is no capital injection, there is only one way to go bankrupt.
"Frankly speaking Ryan, DreamWorks Animation Studio has encountered a lot of difficulties."
These things are not secrets in Hollywood at all, Katzenberg simply said directly, "Currently it is very difficult to raise funds..."
Another impact brought about by the collapse of the IT myth is that major investment groups shrink money and carefully examine related industries, while DreamWorks Animation Studios have failed successively in animation films, and they can draw investment from these vampires. Weird.
From the day when Drew was asked to help buy the adaptation rights to "Shrek", Ryan was actually waiting for an opportunity to reach out to DreamWorks Animation Studios.
"Stephen..." Spielberg shook his head as soon as Ryan looked over. "DreamWorks Animation Studio needs not only funding, but also great works that sell well."
"Although Pixar has excellent technology, Toy Story comes from "Ryan Tales"." Katzenberg hesitated a little bit, and said, "DreamWorks Animation Studio will focus on computer animation in the next step. Well, how about giving us the right to edit "Finding Nemo" and "Kung Fu Panda"?"
