Number One Game Designer

Chapter 172: Enemies and cooperation

There are more and more people in Hongyi now, but Fang Xi is getting busier and busier.

Now I think it’s easier for the company to start up. Even at that time he needed to write code with his R&D department, but the company’s production capacity was not enough, so there were so many things he could do. Now that there are more people, many plans and many inspirations can be carried out, so Fang Xi is getting busy.

The first plan for him is to open up a market for female players.

In 2018 in the last time and space, what game did you randomly interview others on the street to make money?

Boys may tell you: a certain league, Beng Beng Beng, BGO, steam, some Ubisoft games and so on.

But the girls also have their own answers: Sword Three, Perfect World, Sword Spirit, Tianya Mingyue Sword, Shining Nuannuan, etc.

Among them, the representative of the female-oriented game may be Folding Paper Technology. The founder of this company is said to be a programmer at the beginning, purely to make a dress-up game that his girlfriend likes. As a result, I didn’t expect this game to become famous all at once. Children's favorite game market, this little game is later the warm travel around the world.

Folding Paper Technology has only four products, or strictly speaking, two: Nuan Nuan Travel Around the World, Love Nikki-Dress UP Queen, Love and Producer, Shining Nuan Nuan.

This company with fewer than 300 employees so far has a turnover of 210 million yuan in 2018. This is still in 2018 when Shining Nuan Nuan has begun to decline. But this still won two hundred million. There is a lot of market for female players to dig.

And what are the game tags that girls like? Dress-up function, good and even tearful plot, and strong social function.

For Fang Xi, still adhering to the concept of doing the best, he directly sent Xiaolan the request for recruitment.

Xiaolan took it in her hand with big eyes and small eyes dumbstruck:

"The playwright can understand it, maybe he came to write the plot, but what the **** is this costume designer?"

Fang Xi rolled his eyes and said, "If you ask you to recruit, you will do it. Besides, we now have history professors in our company. Do you still care about so many?"

Xiaolan nodded, yes, now the Assassin Project department is the department named "Holy Order". It is said that the group of history graduate students have invited the professors of their history department over.

Because the images of a number of main characters in the game that were first produced by the Holy Society last month, such as Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei, Yan Taizi Dan, Jing Ke, etc., but Fang Xi directly called back after receiving the first draft of the characters, saying that he wanted Redo, a group of history graduate students quit:

This is what we have studied historical materials and restored the appearance and decoration of the clothes of the characters at that time to the greatest extent. Why can't it work?

Fang Xi’s objection is also very simple:

I'm asking you to properly restore the society at the time. I'm not saying that the protagonist who is going to have a yellow face and thin clothes is like a beggar. How can I play this way?

Proper restoration is not a 100% restoration. After discussing with Fang Xi and paying another sum of money, a professor from the Department of History in Linjing came over and said that Fang Xi's request was not a problem. This is probably one of the joys of being rich.

Costume designers are of course laying the groundwork for female-oriented games. For a small company to make games, they usually only need to type code, and a serious 3A game, historical support, costume design, character modeling, dialogue, these all require professionalism. This is a big production.

Fang Xi can provide support for 3A and design shop clothes for games played by girls. Fang Xi feels that his idea is not bad.

Another important issue is that I received a call from the director Ernst I met at E3 yesterday. The movie he has on hand has been completed. After a one-month break, he plans to come to China. I hope that there will be more information on the road to survival. The film was able to start filming smoothly.

He is satisfied with Ernst Fangxi. This director is an unexpected foreign aid. As one of the highest-grossing directors last year, it is normal that he could not get it at all, but he not only agreed to cooperate with Hongyi, but also satisfied. Fang Xi's willingness to hope that the film can be shot in China, which makes Fang Xi very grateful.

Although Hongyi has set up a video production department at the beginning of the year, in fact this department is only a CG production studio, and it is still somewhat difficult to complete the movie. This is the time for Gu Qin to go out again.

"Do you want to buy a film and television company?" Gu Qin reacted after hearing Fang Xi's request.

Fang Xi nodded:

"Although it is theoretically possible to cooperate with major domestic film and television companies this time, we also want to make movies by ourselves in the future. I hope that Hongyi Games will be renamed Hongyi Entertainment Group in the future, so it will be sooner or later that there will be a film company. "

Gu Qin listened to Fang Xi's words, drank tea silently, and thought for a while:

"Xiaoxi, your idea is very good, but I think if we buy another film and television company, there are still risks. First of all, the other party is one of the best directors in Hollywood now, then the film and television company we acquired cannot be a small company. Regardless of whether the other party is willing to be acquired by a large company, this in itself is not something that can be completed in a short period of time."

"Secondly, if we want to become an entertainment group in the future, then the film and television company is a very important step, so that the people we acquired after all that we did not cultivate by ourselves will use it smoothly."

Hearing this, Fang Xi also understood what Gu Qin wanted to say, and preached directly by himself:

"Then we now use this to discuss cooperation with domestic film and television companies, and set up a group of people in our video studio to work together, called support, actually learn from the experience, and then go back and set up a formal video company by ourselves. "

Gu Qin nodded with satisfaction, this is also the best Fang Xi she thinks right now.

"I understand, so let's do it." Fang Xi made a final decision.

Gu Qin got up and said, "Then let me run for you. I had some connections with some film and television circles during the busy months."

As soon as he came back, he asked Gu Qin to work again, and Fang Xi felt a little sad: "Sister Gu, you..."

Patting Fang Xi on the shoulder, Gu Qin smiled: "It's okay to run more. It's good that I can be as busy as the company is growing."

"However, although the recent "Eternal" has good data, it has not yet started revenue. I have read the company's financial statements. Our finances are a bit tight now. Xiaoxi, you can't relax."

Before leaving, Gu Qin still warned. Although Hongyi is now very profitable, it spends money like water because of the big moves of the financial department. Considering the next film and television company, filming, etc., money is needed in all aspects. If you count these, Yi Hongyi's current flow is still a little short.

Nodded, Fang Xi said that he understood that this was also the reason he had asked Xiaolan to recruit another group of people.

The new project is about to be launched, and Fang Xi will focus on the female players this time!
