Although this year's annual game awards ceremony did not have the shadow of "The Last Survivor" due to the release time, the atmosphere of "The Last Survivor" can be felt everywhere.

According to the sales statistics of Huaxia Games, the sales volume of "The Last Survivor" in the first week was 2.3 million copies, the sales volume in the second week reached 4 million, and the sales volume of 3.7 million copies in the third week was released. They are all numb.

But what I didn't expect was that with this wave of promotions at the end of the year, "The Last Survivor" sold 3 million copies at the end of December.

With the physical CD alone, this game has sold more than 15 million, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks through 20 million.

Not to mention the digital version of the online store, this game has been on the digital bestseller list for 31 consecutive days, from the December 1st release day to the last day of the year without exception.

This has brought a huge amount of revenue to Hatsune Games. At present, according to the analysis of some people in the industry, the valuation of the system of Magic Animation, Hatsune Video Network, and Hatsune Game should be more than 20 billion. In the field of video websites, Although it is not as good as the 50 billion tomato video network for the time being, you must know that tomato video network has been painstakingly operated for more than ten years, and it has its current scale after being listed, and the first audio video network is just a video that has not yet been listed. website.

Moreover, Xu Rui's investment is quite cautious. He seems to be more willing to hold cash. Apart from the purchase of real estate in the park required for the expansion of the necessary workplaces, there are almost no investment projects.

On the other hand, Tomato Video.com has just invested in various film and television companies, animation companies, and later game businesses. When it was the largest, it also tried to invest in real estate, physical sales, automobiles, electronics, etc., just like To build a huge business empire.

According to some people who have the information, Xu Rui’s company holds a terrible amount of cash, probably because its companies do not have any income and can support the level for several years.

Some people say that Xu Rui has no business acumen and will not use funds. If these cash were used for investment, his own company's valuation would have doubled.

Some people also refuted that if Xu Rui had no business acumen, it would be impossible to rely on an animation company to achieve the current industry leader level.

It was also suggested that Xu Ruiming made animation, but now the main source of income has turned into games. Does it mean that animation is a dead end? Only games are the only way out for this type of cultural and creative industry.

Amidst divergent opinions, the new year has arrived.

On the weekend just after New Year's Day, Ningjiang Economic News had news about Xu Rui.

He even bought a company.

This is a film and television company called Shahai Media. It has previously launched a network TV series, which was broadcast on Tomato Video Network. Later, it was funded by Tomato Video Network. But in the end, due to the poor response of the work, Tomato Video Network Withdrawal of capital to invest in other companies, this film and television company is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Xu Rui only spent tens of millions of dollars to complete the acquisition of this company, silently. If it weren't for the announcement of the change of legal person, many people would not have even noticed this.

He bought it, screened a group of company members, and reorganized it and renamed it Phantom Media.

At the same time, Xu Rui also carried out a series of company reorganizations. The most important thing is to combine several of his companies to form the Phantom Electric Group, which includes the Phantom Animation, which is responsible for animation production, the Hatsune Video Network of the video website, and the production of Hatsune. Hatsune Electronics of the future series of software, as well as Hatsune Games and Phantom Media.

Regarding Xu Rui's series of measures after acquiring Shahai Media, some people analyzed that Xu Rui actually only wanted the qualifications of a film and television company. Compared with building from scratch and applying step by step, the acquisition is obviously faster.

Xu Rui is so anxious, presumably because he is ready to open up the film and television market.

On the A2 forum, Xu Rui’s Phantom Group has a huge influence, so the moderators simply opened up a special area for Phantom Animation and Hatsune Games. The area is the division of each game. In the Phantom Telecom Comprehensive Discussion Area, this news post There were many replies immediately.

[Lordorc]: Phantom is going to make a movie? TV series? Is it a live-action TV series of "Music Girl"? ? ?

[Strawberry Jam]: No, I think the "Classical Literature Club Series" is more suitable for making TV dramas. Compared with "Music Girl", it is more realistic. Speaking of which, will Su Liyu himself be the role of Tian Qianai? ? ?

[The big pie without green onions]: I think it might be a new IP, an animation adapted from a real person. The previous few films were quite unsuccessful. Even if Xu Rui is brilliant, from animation director to TV film director, it’s not that way. easy.

[Barbecue at 9:30]: Wow, since I think so, I think it will be the adaptation of "The Last Survivor" into a movie, I think the plot of this game is very suitable for turning into a movie!

[L94236]: I think it’s good for Magic Movie to honestly make animation games. There is no need to mix things in the film and television circles. Nowadays, movies and TV series are all small traffic, and they have no acting skills and they are extremely embarrassing to watch.

[Vanilla sandwich biscuits]: In the early two years of the audio and video network, there were gradually some live-action programs on the New Year's Eve. I feel that there is no big problem even if you want to enter the film and television industry, as long as it does not affect the production of animation.

Most of the mainstream speculations are that Xu Rui is going to make a movie or TV series, and almost all are the animation adaptations of Guess. After all, it is easy to think of this from the phantom movie animation.

Ningjiang High-tech Development Zone, the park where the phantom animation is located.

Today, there are already four buildings in this park that belong to Xu Rui. Phantom Animation is still the same four-story building. The Hatsune Video Network and Hatsune Studio share the same building next door.

Hatsune Game is a separate building.

The fourth building was originally a part of the real-life studio of the canteen and Hatsune Games, but now there is more Magic Media.

Magic Media Media on the fourth floor.

Former Shahai Media, now Zheng Weijie of Magic Media Media is a director. The previous TV series of Shahai Media was written by him. It was a youth idol drama. At that time, the leading actors were brought by several investors. His own little fresh meat star, even the script written by the company's screenwriter, has to pass the eyes of investors. They have modified the places where they feel they need to highlight their own star, and Zheng Weijie, as a working director, naturally has no power. To interfere, you can only bite the bullet and shoot.

Zheng Weijie felt that he had tried his best. When the series first aired, there was some attention, but later, due to the protagonist's acting skills and slightly routine plot, he was eventually unknown.

Zheng Weijie is now sitting in a slightly empty new office with several of his team members, feeling a little nervous.

Xu Rui sent a message asking them to wait here. A few minutes later, the young boss walked in with a man.

"Introduce ~lightnovelpub.net~ This is Cheng Kewei, the chief producer of Phantom Animation, and he will temporarily join here to be responsible for the coordination of our next project."

Xu Rui introduced that after Cheng Ke greeted Zheng Weijie and others, he asked about some matters related to film and television production. Xu Rui seemed very serious when he heard Zheng Weijie's explanation.

"Uh, Mr. Xu, what is our next project?"

Zheng Weijie asked after the introduction. To be honest, due to previous failures, he lacks self-confidence at this moment, and he is worried that Xu Rui will fire him together, just like the administrative and personnel staff in the previous companies.

"You should know that my previous work, if it is a TV series, I am still a little sure, the movie may have some..."

"We are not making TV series for the time being, and of course we are not making movies."

Hearing Zheng Weijie's inquiry, Xu Rui explained, and then said.

"Director Zheng, are you interested in making a documentary?"
