Hollywood Starts with Animation

v2 Chapter 657: Warcraft III

California, United States-Irvine.

Blizzard headquarters.

Blizzard is a well-known game production and distribution company. Since its establishment in 1991, it has successively launched a series of well-known games such as the "Warcraft" series, the "StarCraft" series, and the "Diablo" series. It has a great reputation.

Riding in the late 1990s, after accepting capital from Universal Group to invest in shares, it has developed rapidly, constantly conquering cities and gaining reputation.

Today, Blizzard is already a fairly well-known game company, and it is known as an "industry benchmark" in the field of real-time battle games.

In 1994, the game "Warcraft 1", also known as "Warcraft 1: Humans and Orcs", opened the market once it was launched;

In 1995, "Warcraft 2: Kuroshio" was completed in only 10 months. It went on the market in a gloomy environment in the game market. In just 4 months, it sold 500,000 units worldwide. . The dazzling results have won the favor of countless investors in one fell swoop;

Today.....

In early February 2002, the third part of the "Warcraft" series is about to be born!

As soon as the news came out, the fans of Warcraft around the world were excited and shouted loudly...

On this day, Zhuke also accepted the invitation and came to the city of Irvine, California, United States to participate in this grand ceremony.

There were many people who came with Zhu Ke this time, including the president of Baokai Game Company under his own name, and the three founders of Baokai Game Company in the original time and space.

President of Baokai Game Company: Dave Roberts;

Dave Roberts has worked in the blue giant ibm and Microsoft and is a professional manager with extensive experience. In the future, Baokai Game Company can successfully develop the "Plants vs. Zombies" game and be promoted to a first-class game company in one fell swoop.

The three founders of Baokai Game Company: John Witch, Brian Fetter, and former Apple computer engineer Jason Kaboka.

Among them, John Vitch is the most prominent, he is the soul of Baokai game!

John Vitch is definitely a genius in gaming. When he was only 19 years old, he made hundreds of thousands of dollars by making games.

19 years old!

At this age, don't be busy studying or dating, but what about him?

Just through a game I made, I made hundreds of thousands of US dollars, which is equivalent to millions of RMB.

To judge whether a person is a talent in games, nothing is more appropriate than to pass market verification!

A game producer who cannot sell money cannot be said to be a talent, but a game producer who can sell money must be a talent!

The market is a hard-core standard for testing talents!

In the extended luxury car, Zhuke chatted with them.

"John, I heard that your mother divorced again recently?" Zhuke kept gossip.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the car laughed.

John Vitch's face turned dark: "Boss, do you know this too?"

"of course!"

Zhu Ke replied solemnly: "As a kind-hearted boss, caring about the family status of his subordinates is undoubtedly a necessary process. It is said that your mother has been married four times."

John Veitch: "..."

Puff~

At this moment, Brian Fett on the side laughed and said, "Boss, you may be wrong. Where is only four marriages? John has 7 stepfathers in total, plus his biological father. How many times did his mother get married?"

Suddenly, Zhu Ke couldn't help but his eyes widened.

Good guy, this is amazing~

Former Apple computer engineer Jason Kaboka added: "No way, who makes Aunt Linna look beautiful?!"

That's right!

John Vitch’s mother is very beautiful. She is obviously in her 40s, but she is not old at all. She looks like a girl in her 20s.

Faced with the jokes of Zhuke and others, John Veitch can only break the jar at the moment, after all, he has long been used to it.

Oh my god!

Whose mother divorces and marries so frequently? !

"Dave, how is the situation with Baokai Game Company now?" Zhu Ke turned the subject off.

Hearing that, as the president of Baokai Games, Dave Roberts immediately replied: "Boss, the company is currently operating pretty well. As of today, the company has more than 70 employees and 4 project development teams."

"Since its establishment, a total of 5 games have been produced and released, with a cumulative profit of more than 11 million U.S. dollars."

"Especially in the fourth quarter of 2001, the profit exceeded 4 million U.S. dollars."

......

A group of detailed data, from the mouth of Dave Roberts.

Upon hearing it, he knew that he was fully prepared.

In the past two years since its establishment, Baokai Games has made a profit of more than 11 million US dollars. In fact, it is already a very dazzling achievement. At least many small and medium-sized game companies are far from reaching this profit figure.

"Not bad."

Zhu Ke clapped his hands and smiled: "In the early days of Baokai Game Company, I only invested 5 million U.S. dollars, and now I can make a profit of 11 million U.S. dollars, which is pretty good."

This is something to be proud of!

Of course, Zhuke is most concerned about the game "Plants vs. Zombies", when will it be made successfully?

You must know that in the original time and space, just a "Plants vs. Zombies" game, its value is more than 1 billion US dollars!

Zhu Ke looked around and said loudly: "Dave, John, Brian, and Jason, you have done a great job. I believe you will be able to become shareholders of the company in the near future."

Become a shareholder of the company?

In an instant, Dave Roberts and others could not sit still, and expressed their gratitude to Zhuke.

Shares are always a topic they care about!

Game director John Vitch said: "Boss, the reason why the company was able to achieve profitability in a short period of time, in addition to our credit and accident, is to thank the boss for his care."

"Yes."

One of the founders, Brian Fett: "The elimination game "Bejeweled" is our independent creative and independently developed project~lightnovelpub.net~ but "Harry Potter" and "Spiderman" "Game licensing is the real profit of the company."

Movies, TV series, novels, comics, music, games, peripherals...

All of the above constitute the current profit model of Hollywood, and IP-based full copyright development can achieve maximum profitability.

Why does Zhu Ke look at Marvel?

Why do you think about music, movies, and TV stations?

Including game companies...

Zhu Ke's goal is very clear, which is to improve the entertainment industry and develop the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group into a top media group!

After a short while, the convoy stopped and successfully arrived in the city of Irvine.

At the reception of Blizzard, Messier, chairman of the Vivendi Group, personally greeted Zhu Ke.

"" The first update is sent.
