Chapter 340 Strategic Negotiation (Part 2)
"How about you? What's the matter?" Chen Xiaowei asked hurriedly.
"...Is there a script? Why didn't I see it." Zhang Yang replied weakly for a long time. He really didn't see any script. At least he didn't even have a protagonist from beginning to end. What kind of war, what kind of war, what kind of script?
"Of course, you didn't see that there is a problem with your eyes. I won't tell you. Do you think we can send this video to Blizzard for their contract?" Chen Xiaowei quickly cut into the topic. Although Chen Xiaowei couldn’t see it, Zhang Yang nodded without hesitation before he said,
Of course, this video is so excellent, I believe our team is the best, so you just send this video directly Come to Blizzard, I believe they are not fools."
"Of course, don't look at who supervised this project, it must be excellent, well, since you have no opinion, then I will directly send this video to Blizzard." Chen Xiaowei said narcissistically.
"...Well, it's up to you to decide for yourself, and it's up to you." Zhang Yang nodded helplessly. Chen Xiaowei hung up the phone directly.
Mike looked at the phone in his hand and was helpless. If it was not specifically explained by the executive president of the above company, he would not be willing to negotiate with this inexplicable company. After all, even if Blizzard does not need these cg animations, or even no cg animations in every game, it will attract huge attention.
Even if Blizzard is not even willing to give out cg, the effect will be better, and the mystery will make players more eager, but Blizzard is not an irresponsible game company, the game's cg animation still needs, so Blizzard did not refuse This negotiation is actually the most important thing for Blizzard. Starry Sky Group is willing to do this cg animation for free to promote their new products.
However, the phone of Fortu still played a very important role. Although Mike is also a technical person, his administrative ability is also very good, so in terms of human relations, Mike is also quite the original word. In short, this Anyway, Blizzard has the most things, it is a waste of time.
However, if the effect is very good, then Blizzard is not losing. You should know that a good cg animation mobilizes the enthusiasm of the player. However, Mike was a little crying and laughing. Just now this Eastern company called him and said that he had already done cg animation.
But God knows that they have just notified Blizzard less than 48 hours before they have already done the animation? How efficient is this? Although Mike doesn't understand animation, he also knows that it is definitely not that simple to make a good animation, especially the cg animation of the game is not so simple, it can't be done in two days.
However, since he has agreed to negotiate with the other party, Mike will naturally not regret it, always look at the finished product sent by the other party. Open your own mailbox, the other party's animation has been sent, anyway, there is no loss to see. After opening the mailbox, Mike found that the attachments sent in the mailbox were quite large, and it seemed that there were at least tens of minutes. Does it mean that the other party not only made the cg animation, but also walked out of the tens of minutes of cg animation?
Mike couldn't help crying. With such a long animation, wouldn't it just use the built-in recording function of the game, and then send it directly after a simple optimization? Mike couldn't help crying, but he still downloaded the cg animation of this game with serious principles.
Blizzard's Internet speed is naturally quite fast, but this video of just over 40 minutes still has a file size of more than 2g. Obviously this video is made in ultra high definition. After downloading the animation, Mike poured a cup of coffee and then opened the animation.
When the video is opened, a black picture appears on the screen. Mike is a little strange, black? What is the situation? Moving the mouse, Mike thought it was a problem with his computer. Just when Mike was strange, suddenly a loud "boom" came from the computer sound. Mike was startled. His hand shook involuntarily, and the coffee cup on the table was violently shaken. Hit the ground.
With a "snap", the coffee was sprinkled all over the floor, even the keyboard. "Oh~." Mike couldn't help but screamed. He was just about to bend down to clean. Suddenly the screen of the computer screen flickered, and then a magnificent building suddenly appeared on the computer screen.
Mike, who was just about to bend over, was directly taken to the screen by this picture. As the CEO of Blizzard Entertainment, although Mike is not very involved in making games, he is naturally familiar with his company’s games, so he is seeing this game. In the first moment of the picture that appeared, Mike was sure that this was the building in StarCraft 1, but this... the gap was too big.
The building of this human race has just appeared, as if it were true. If Mike is not too familiar with his company’s games, and almost all employees of Blizzard Entertainment are game fans, Mike is naturally no exception. StarCraft 1 Mike I usually play with people in my game company when I'm fine, so I am very familiar with this game.
At the moment, Mike couldn't wait to clean up the garbage under his desk. The whole person's eyes were attracted by the video on the computer screen. The forty-minute video said that it was not long or short, and Mike watched the entire video without moving.
After watching it, Mike realized that his body was a little numb because of maintaining a posture for a long time. Quickly calming himself down a little bit, looking at the player that has finished running on the screen, Mike is a little shocked. Is this still Starcraft? Are you sure this is not a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster that has just been released? But Mike knows that this is StarCraft i. All the buildings in it and even the arms of the three races are familiar StarCraft i arms. He will never be mistaken.
But he didn't expect that a cg animation can actually make such an effect. Although it is clearly known that it is post-processed, but which game's cg animation will not be processed? As long as the protagonist appears in the game is a factor, after all, cg animation is just an animation made for publicity.
It's just this effect... Mike is a little crazy. Could it be said that such a huge cg animation opponent made it in only 48 hours? How can this be! According to Mike's understanding, these cgs that are comparable to real effects are almost every detail, and every look must be redesigned on the computer, rendered and then gradually made into the desired shape step by step.
And the environment inside is to take part of the actual environment, make partial modification and processing, and finally merge into a complete and coherent animation. With so many steps, even if there are a large number of professional employees doing this work, it will be A long time, forty minutes of animation, calculated according to this effect, it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least three months.
You have to know that the terrain, even the buildings, and the video of the arms need to be re-produced with a computer. Such a huge production volume takes two days! How did the other party do it in two days? Blizzard in 2004 has a lot of new projects, such as World of Warcraft's new expansion pack, the burning expedition, etc., have to be released. If the other party's cg animation can really do so, it may cause all The world is crazy.
This is not just a madness in the game world, because the forty minutes just now can be seen as a small movie. After recovering from the shock, Mike immediately picked up his mobile phone, quickly found the company president's phone from there, and quickly dialed back. He didn't pay attention at all. China is now more than 9 o'clock at night.
The phone was connected quickly, and as soon as the phone was connected, Mike could not wait to ask: "Miss Chen Xiaowei, is this video really made by your company? Please forgive my doubts, but I think it seems that China is in the video Special effects are relatively backward in this respect."
Chen Xiaowei said with a smile: "Of course, I can understand, but not in the future, China will also have its own special effects production company."
"Of course, if your company's special effects production can continue to look like this, then I can guarantee that you must be one of the best special effects production companies in the world." Mike said quickly.
"This is natural, and we also believe that since Mr. Mike saw the video produced by our company, I don't know how Mr. Mike made suggestions to our company?" Chen Xiaowei asked immediately while hot.
"Of course, if your company can still guarantee the terms you have proposed, then I will immediately fly to China for this negotiation with your company." Mike immediately said, this is a matter for both companies, Mike naturally Will not refuse, if the Starry Sky Group can guarantee that they have initially proposed the conditions that are all free, then Mike will naturally be more willing to hand over all cg animations of Blizzard games to the other party to make.
"Then Mr. Mike can lead your negotiating team to China." Chen Xiaowei said with a smile, since for the first time he wants to give his name, then it is necessary to sacrifice some, it is impossible to eat into a fat at one bite. Besides, this decision was also made by the senior executives of the Star Group, so Chen Xiaowei agreed that there would be no problem.
"Of course, if that's the case, then I'm ready for the trip now." Mike immediately said with pleasure, no company does not want to continue to be glorious, even though Blizzard has become the world's leader in the game field, but Blizzard is not invincible Yes, there are still many competitors, so it is naturally Mike's pursuit to defeat these competitors and get greater benefits.
So this time Mike would agree to be so happy.
"Well, then here on behalf of Star Group I warmly welcome Mr. Mike to China." Chen Xiaowei said with a smile.
"Thanks to Miss Chen Xiaowei's enthusiasm, then we will meet again and talk." Mike said with a smile.
"Goodbye Mr. Mike." Chen Xiaowei nodded slightly. Hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaowei immediately cheered and said quickly: "Haha, Blizzard has agreed to our company's opinion, they will come to China to negotiate with us soon."
"Wow!" The entire office immediately cheered. The entire senior executives of the Star Group and some overtime employees were in the office. Everyone was just waiting for Blizzard's negotiations. The most difficult time for them was now affirmed by Blizzard Group. Everyone cheered immediately and worked overtime for two days and nights. For the first time, they were affirmed by others. Everyone naturally felt very excited.
"I announced that we will all go to dinner together tonight, and I invite guests." Chen Xiaowei said excitedly.
"Wow! The mighty president!" Everyone who heard Chen Xiaowei's words cried out more enthusiastically.
Blizzard Entertainment's actions are quite fast, which is obviously inconsistent with the various ticket jumping actions of their usual games. On the second night after finishing calling them, Mr. Mike, the president of Blizzard Entertainment and several assistants, and several The manager of the department has already arrived in China and lived in the hotel arranged by Star Group.
"You talk about, what kind of conditions should we propose? Although we said free of charge, but free of charge, we have not put forward other conditions." Li Keqing looked at all the managers in the company~ EbookFREE.me~ asked seriously.
Looking at Li Keqing sitting in the position of the president, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh for a while. In just a few months, Li Keqing already had the style of a president. This meeting is aimed at the negotiation between tomorrow and Blizzard Entertainment. It can be said that this negotiation with Blizzard is the first step for Star Group to expand, or this is the first time Star Group has started to make profits.
Although the photon defense network is the first product of the Starry Sky Group, but because the photon defense is operated free of charge, and there is no specific profit project, the Starry Sky Group is basically losing money in operation, after all, the server, the salary of employees, etc. Everything is the same, but there is no input at present, even if its future prospects are the same. If there is no new input, how long the Star Group can support the operation is still unknown.
The successful development of Nebulas software undoubtedly keeps Star Group from being in an embarrassing negative profit stage. At least maintaining the balance of payments is also a good start for the development of Star Group.
Li Keqing rarely chairs meetings. She is the company’s chairman and the CEO is Chen Xiaowei. The usual meetings are chaired by Chen Xiaowei. This time, Li Keqing chaired the meeting to let ordinary employees and some ordinary department managers The Star Group takes this matter very seriously.
