Chapter 1009 Reminiscing about old friends
1009
"Zhuyou, you really have a golden mountain but you are not willing to show it."
In the United States, in a luxurious private villa in the Hollywood area, Tukarev personally poured tea for Zhu Youxing with a regretful expression.
"Come on, this is the best tea I've ever bought. I heard that you Japanese like this tea the most, although I still don't understand what it tastes like."
Zhu Youxing casually leaned on the sofa, and then he was not polite, picked up the teacup to test the temperature of the water, and then drank it all in one gulp, Zhu Youxing also regarded drinking tea as a drink, and would not No matter how tall I feel, quenching my thirst is the most important thing.
One day ago, Zhu Youxing took a special plane from Japan to the United States.
The main purpose of his visit this time is to see for himself the latest location of the US branch, and to see how the venue is.
After all, this land was bought for more than 300 million U.S. dollars, and then a lot of money was spent to build a headquarters with a floor similar to that of Japan.
Now the United States is equivalent to the second headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
In the game, the American dream is portrayed very darkly, but the American dream also has positive aspects.
That is, there are indeed many talents gathered in the United States.
The old empire of the United States has its own background, otherwise it is really as completely dark as in the chapter of GTA Liberty City, then this place is not the real American dream.
After seeing the Second Headquarters yesterday while jet-lagged, and then looking at the status of several game development teams here, Zhu Youxing will naturally also visit his old friends in the United States.
Tukarev can be regarded as Zhuyouxing's partner, but also a very good friend.
Sometimes to find friends, you have to find someone who has a cooperative relationship with your industry, instead of looking for colleagues in the same industry as friends.
Looking for peers as friends will lead to competition and conflicts sooner or later.
Su Rui Electronics is still in a cooperative relationship, but it is absolutely impossible for Zhuyou Xing to become friends with Hayakawa Ueto, at most it is a kind of sympathy.
But Tukarev was different.
Tukarev has always been concentrating on running his own film and television industry, and does not play those cross-border things, and the film and television industry just happens to be complementary to video games, and the good relationship between the two parties has continued in this way.
Just now, Tukarev felt sorry for Zhu Youxing.
So far, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has been very cautious about adapting its own IP works to film and television dramas, and will never easily use its own products to make film and television dramas.
It is reasonable to say that now that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has such a great influence, if you shoot any film and television drama of its IP works, even if the filming is relatively bad, there will definitely be a group of diehard fans to support it, so that you can make money wave after wave.
This kind of money is almost equivalent to being picked up for nothing. Even if the reputation of film and television dramas collapses, it will still not affect the status of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the hearts of players.
At most, it’s just to ridicule occasionally, saying that Youxing Electronic Entertainment can make games, but it’s not necessary to do film and television dramas.
But even so, as long as Youxing Electronic Entertainment wants to continue to authorize film and television dramas, as long as they are not bad, players will still buy it.
This is not a random guess by Tukarev himself, but it is proved by solid evidence.
Su Rui Electronics has actually done a very good job in this regard.
They already have four or five well-known video game IP works under their banner.
And Su Rui Electronics just happens to own a Detroit Film Group.
Su Rui Electronics simply gave its own game IP to its own film and television group to develop, but it made a lot of money.
Su Rui Electronics’ game adaptations of film and television dramas can make a lot of money, so the game IP of Youxing Electronic Entertainment must not be far behind, and it will definitely make more money.
Zhu Youxing said with a smile: "Didn't I agree to authorize you to make some IP derivative film and television dramas? Why? Are you still not satisfied?"
Tukarev still looks like Santa Claus, with a long beard that completely covers his chin, and he is very friendly when he smiles.
He said helplessly: "I'm going to complain to you about this. Look at what IP derivative works are authorized to me? Animations made by Wario, derivative series of Need for Speed, derivative animations of Contra... you authorized my There are nine and a half out of ten IPs that can only be expressed in the form of animation, and none of them are top-notch IPs, so you can give me some big IPs anyway, don’t you believe in the strength of our company?"
Zhu Youxing shook his head: "No, it's not that I don't believe in the strength of your company."
"and you…"
"I don't believe in the strength of all film and television companies."
"..."
This is a bit too arrogant. Anyway, there are so many top directors, screenwriters and actors in Hollywood. It’s just a game IP work. What’s the big deal?
He does not believe that the filming is not good.
The adaptation of games to film and television dramas is a pitfall. Zhu Youxing is well aware of this, no matter whether in this world or the original world, there is not much change, and he himself does not have much expectations for this aspect , He still wants to hold on to his evening festival. He really created a terrible IP derivative work, and he can't even pass that level.
Zhu Youxing said: "Besides, didn't I also authorize you to make a spin-off movie of Resident Evil? Isn't this movie made well? How can you say that I will only give you some small IP works."
Tukarev immediately complained: "Look, you have already said that the film of Resident Evil was not bad. Doesn't that prove that the game adaptation film and television drama can go very well? If you do this, we can sign a contract." The gambling agreement, if the adaptation I made here is not good, you can unilaterally break the contract, revoke the naming authorization, and I will apologize publicly, how about it?"
Tukarev’s posture is quite low. The reason why he is so low is the explosion of the Resident Evil movie.
Not long ago, after Zhu Youxing’s suggestions on the main plot and presentation, the Resident Evil movie was released as scheduled.
However, this Resident Evil movie is not the original Resident Evil movie, but another zombie movie.
It's called World War Z
This can be regarded as a benchmark work in zombie movies, and it is a benchmark for zombie movies that can only be developed at a mid-to-low cost to a high-standard production.
And the result of such high-standard production is that the movie also exploded.
The audience at that time had never seen the crazy impact of the tide of corpses.
The visual stimulation brought by thousands of zombies climbing the high wall to break through the human blockade is beyond imagination.
Especially the audience in this world, they have never seen such a scene. As soon as the movie was released, it immediately became the box office champion for half a year, and was later taken away by another higher-standard work released by another big director in the same year. box office champion.
But in terms of profit margin alone, the World War Zombies was definitely earned in that year.
The investment of about 200 million US dollars, because of the addition of Resident Evil IP at that time, coupled with the unique visual enjoyment brought to the audience for the first time, the global box office finally reached 1.2 billion, and the ratio of investment to box office was 600%
Obviously, Tukarev has really tasted the sweetness. He believes that the biggest credit for this movie should be Resident Evil, not that the movie itself is good enough, so he is eager to get more IP adaptation rights from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
