Rebirth just wants to make money

Su Che was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of: "Shangruan? Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

Zhao Jiaxu: "???"

"You can guess this?" He asked depressedly.

Su Che said: "It's easy to guess. Who else can invest in or acquire the company right in front of us? But I have a question here, isn't Shangruan a stand-alone company?"

"You started making games. Is this a problem?" Zhao Jiaxu rarely felt that he had crushed Su Che in terms of IQ, and said proudly: "The so-called online games are actually cloud saves. It’s just a stand-alone game to play together. For example, in Xianjian, we kept all the main plots and only changed the game into an online game where multiple people can appear on one map at the same time. Wouldn’t it become an online game?

And what is the difference between the cloud archive function provided by the Let's Play Platform and the account information storage function of online games?They all save the game data played by the players in our server.

As long as there are more player interactions, the stand-alone game will become an online game. "

Su Che nodded with a smile, and said, "It's really okay for you to say that, so...Shangruan should have started research and development by now, right?"

"That's right, they have already started to develop the prequel of Paladin Five. Then I plan to invest in a wave, let them adapt it, suspend the development of the plot of Paladin V, and integrate the plots one to four to form a complete plot system. Just You always report to me about investment, and now that I have an idea, I have to tell you." Zhao Jiaxu said.

"As a partner, I don't own the company alone. I should discuss it with you." Su Che said, "I'm quite surprised by your idea this time. Combine the plots from one to four, and then we will discuss it later." Time, and then integrate the five plots into it, and then the game version can be updated, and the next six, seven, and eight...

Strictly speaking, it cannot be called Xianjian V or Xianjian VI. After they are all integrated, they are all online games of Xianjian, and the subsequent plot additions are just version updates. "

"It's a pity, maybe for some players who like feelings, we are ruining our youth." Zhao Jiaxu said.

Su Che said without any psychological burden: "Feelings are just wishful thinking of players. Any game company or team has only one fundamental purpose in making games - to make money. Since there are better ways to make money now, go to the soft Of course we will not refuse, and we cannot give up.

As for some people who are clamoring that they hope that the R&D team will not be corrupted by money and their feelings will not be ruined... I have never seen them invest a penny in the game R&D team.

Even most of the fairy sword lovers now play pirated versions... After all, it is impossible to buy genuine versions in Internet cafes. "

"You're right. Whoever likes feelings should invest in Shangruan. Whoever invests more than us can let Shangruan continue to make Xianjian Wuliuqi." Zhao Jiaxu said.

At the same time, the responsible person of Shangruan worried his team and started a meeting that was not a meeting.

As a responsible person, he naturally had to take the lead and said, "Let's talk about your views on making online games."

"Online games are clearly meant to make money. Will we lose our reputation if we do this?" someone questioned.

"Isn't our original goal just to make money? As long as the game is well done, word of mouth will be there." Another person said.

"But there will always be some loyal fans disappointed."

"When piracy was rampant, didn't we carry it out by ourselves? The game was cracked less than a month after it came out, and then the sales of the game began to decline like a cliff. At that time, we didn't see any loyal fans coming out to support us."

"It's okay to say that, our purpose is really just to make money..."

"However!" Responsible suddenly interrupted the team members' discussion, and said, "The public relations that should be done must be done well."

"What PR?"

"You will know in a few days..."

So, a week later, the news that Shanghai Soft officially signed a contract with 17game was released.At the same time, an article circulated on the Internet.

The article here is not written by the above soft No.1, but from the perspective of a fan, writing the gossip he heard.

The general content of the article is that the Shanghaisoft team is dedicated to developing the game of the Xianjian series, relying on a passion, power generation depends on love.In time, piracy is rampant, and for the support of players, they are all losing money playing games.It is a problem for the employees of the team to eat, and they can only rely on instant noodles to survive every day.

But people are not machines after all, and they will collapse one day. No matter how hard the team members work hard, they are at the end of their ropes. They can't even eat. What dreams are there?So he could only accept the investment from 17game.

All of this is not the fault of Shangruan, but the fault of piracy. If there is no piracy, Shangruan will never come to this point......

When this article was shown to Su Che, Su Che froze for a moment.

A bucket of instant noodles costs five yuan, plus a sausage and a bottle of mineral water, at least ten yuan.And there is a simple meal in Qingcheng e-sports, with meat, vegetables and rice, and the cheapest dish costs [-] yuan a piece.

This soft is rich!

Chapter 379 Invitation to the Spring Festival Gala

"Is Paladin III going to be adapted into a TV series?" Su Che who just got the news couldn't help being a little surprised.

After Zhao Jiaxu's operation, 17game has now fully acquired the company Shangruan. It was originally planned to only buy the copyright, or to hold a shareholding, but he didn't expect him to accidentally buy the entire company.At the same time, this also means that the current 17game owns the copyright of all the games of Shanghaisoft.

Which naturally includes the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

"The Tang people just sent someone over to discuss this matter. In fact, we don't need to go through this matter, but I think we should tell you." Zhao Jiaxu said.

He was right. With the expansion of the company, apart from some major businesses, such as playing together platform and payment software together, other large and small businesses no longer need to be handled by two people in every detail. Agreed, the relevant operation team holds various decision-making powers of the project.

After all, the scale of 17game will gradually increase in the future. It is not a reasonable thing to ask two major shareholders to review everything.Not to mention that the team in charge of the project will often encounter obstacles, and it is very troublesome to always ask the superiors for instructions. Even Su Che and Zhao Jiaxu will not have to do anything else in the future. They will do everything by themselves, and they should just become a member of the company's employees. .

There are some people who believe that a company can be developed, but the company can't make it big. A large part of the reason is here.I feel that I am the boss, and I am wise and powerful to control everything, and I am not at ease with others.Maybe the company's annual turnover is several hundred million, and everything is still in its own hands, and it refuses to delegate power.

And people's energy is limited, so when the boss's energy reaches the limit, it is impossible to expand the company's scale.

For example, in the later generations of Tencent, will Xiao Ma spend energy on a certain festival event of dng?If the responsible person of the team really went to Brother Xiao Ma to discuss this matter, I'm afraid he would be fired the next day.

For the little Ma of the Tencent Empire, it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you can hand in a report that satisfies me by the end of the year.

The current 17game is also developing in that direction. Although the current Shangruan was acquired by 17game, it still has the original autonomy. The only difference is that it has more abundant funds......

In Su Che's impression, Paladin III only started airing in June 09, and now it's the end of 6. Not long ago, Jay Chou just released a new album, I'm Very Busy, and one of the songs directly caused a sensation in the entire Chinese music scene .For now, blue and white porcelain is the well-deserved No. 07 Chinese style.According to Su Che's later understanding, until 2019, there was no achievement that Huaxia Fengneng surpassed.

Including Jay himself, none of the songs he wrote later could surpass the Blue and White Porcelain, especially the Lanting Preface in 08. Because of the Blue and White Porcelain, the song Lanting Preface was given higher expectations.But the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.Although Lanting Preface itself is a good Chinese style song, it does not surpass blue and white porcelain, so Jay Chou has been sprayed for a long time because of this matter.

But having said that, Jay Chou seems to be often exhausted, but every time his album is very good.As for the 08 Capricorn album, what's in it, and what's even more popular.In the same year and even for a long time afterwards, it also dominated the major lists.

Not even the Big Three of Penguin Music......

Let's talk about the fairy sword again.

It is only the end of 7 years now, and there is still a year and a half before the Impression of Sword and Sword III, which was only broadcast in June of 9 years.The filming of a TV series does not take such a long time at all. No matter how big the production is, from the beginning of filming to the post-production, it basically takes half a year to complete.

But after thinking about it, the preparatory stage of the TV series may take a long time before filming starts.For example, the matter of copyright, and the current issue of each actor.

Hu Ge, the leading actor of this TV series, is officially a popular niche at the moment, and he is of the capable type, completely different from the traffic niche who only relied on facial recognition later on.

Some people always say that being good-looking is also an advantage. Some celebrities become famous just because of their good looks. Is there any problem?

There is nothing wrong with this matter in itself, but since you have chosen to rely on your face for food, you must be prepared to be replaced by others at any time.And the facts have also proved that traffic artists who really rely entirely on brushing their faces will be shot to death on the beach by Houlang in three to five years.

Brother Hu can be silent for a long time, and then make a TV series or movie, which can cause a huge sensation.And those traffic niches who brush their faces, if they don't do something for a day to refresh their presence, they may be forgotten in a few days.

Especially in the current era of popular Korean dramas, star chasing girls basically change their husbands every year, because Korean dramas come out with new products every year, and every time there is a handsome protagonist, the girls change their husbands.

And that husband from before... what?who is he?Is it my husband?Got it wrong......

Probably that's it.

There is no need to verify it in 2019. The current Hallyu stars have fully demonstrated this fact.

Later, in the popular Korean drama, Lee Min Ho was not popular, and then Song Joong Ki appeared, and people completely forgot about Lee Min Ho.

Then in 2019, Song Joong Ki can only get a shot by getting married and divorced with Song Hye Kyo...

"How did Shangruan decide?" Su Che asked.

Because he also thinks that Paladin III is a classic TV series, whether it is the plot, the cast, or even the special effects and costume props, it is better than the ancient Paladin I.It's not that Xianjianyi is not good enough, but the limitations of the times, and more importantly, the limitations of funds.

In the world before the rebirth, Shangruan might have sold the copyright happily because of lack of money.But in this life, Shangruan is not short of money, so it is very likely to make some fuss about copyright, such as raising prices.

If because of this matter, the third fairy sword has a miscarriage, this is something Su Che is not willing to see.

Having experienced the era of battle qi turning into a horse, Su Che really didn't want to bury the pearl of Immortal Sword III.

Fortunately, Zhao Jiaxu said: "Didn't I say that the TV series is already in preparation. This time, I made the decision on my own and did not collect copyright fees. Instead, I used copyright fees instead of investment, so that 17game's name appeared on the list of investors. "

"I didn't expect you to have such thoughts." Su Che asked with a smile.

"Secretly, I'm actually a fan of Xianjian." Zhao Jiaxu said mysteriously.

As the end of the new year approaches, the winter in the north is getting colder and colder. By the beginning of December, there have been several snowfalls in the capital.In Xicheng in the northeast, many places have already turned white, and the snowflakes that fell on the ground are no longer melting, but have begun to accumulate and become snow.

When it snows in the north, the most exciting thing is the southern friends who saw snow for the first time.

One of Su Cheng's roommates came from the south. When she saw the first snowfall in Beijing in 2007, she was so excited that she insisted on dragging her roommate to build a snowman.

But the first snow in the north is often untenable, and it disappears as soon as it falls. Even if it can become snow, it is only a thin layer, and it cannot build a snowman at all.

It wasn't until the second snowfall and the third snowfall that it was time to really build a snowman.So the southern friends in the dormitory happily ran out to make snowmen.

Su Cheng was also very helpless, his roommate was so active, it would be too out of place if he didn't go.

She wasn't an outlier in the first place.

Snowflakes fell from the sky over and over again, and fell to the ground, accumulating a thick layer.Su Cheng was busy on the school playground with a few roommates, just like everyone else here, a crooked snowman gradually took shape.
