Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 287 Superhero Movie

   In the process of Zhu Yuxing tracking the special effects production, he is also in control of the progress of the game development.

   In addition to a few groups that are developing Final Fantasy 7, the other groups continue to release their games step by step.

   Of course, the current Zhu Yuxing no longer has to control the works they make.

   He just needs to control the overall quality of the final game.

   This time is also the easiest opportunity for them to develop their own game development skills.

   During this period, one or two talents with good game development capabilities also appeared, and they have emerged and started to have a certain reputation in the industry.

   However, under the halo of Zhu Yuxing, they still looked a little dim.

But this has just become an umbrella to protect their growth. They will not be disturbed by the outside world in the process of developing the game, and they can use the money to create their favorite game world. This is also a very happy thing for them. matter.

   When October 1997 arrived, a special effects film from the Detroit Film Group was released on schedule.

  This film tells the story of a young man living in New York, USA who grows up to be a hero.

   There are also systematic superhero IPs in this world. The stories of these superheroes are also very similar to those of superhero comics in previous lives, and Detroit Pictures happens to own some of the copyrights.

   Since they had just acquired Unreal Engine, a tool to reduce the cost of special effects, they immediately applied this software to their superhero movie.

  The total production cost of the film was reduced to almost more than 80 million US dollars under a good production management system, and then it was officially released in October based on the fan base.

  The finished film of the movie is generally a very Hollywood-style popcorn movie. The scenes are exciting enough to make people linger. This is a qualified superhero movie and has been widely praised.

   For the audience, as long as the movie is refreshing enough, they can spend a happy weekend.

   For people in the film and television industry, it has a different meaning.

  Hunter is a director of a film and television company. He is also a person who likes to watch movies very much. He has liked watching movies since he was a child. He will establish a film production company through his continuous efforts.

   Every time a new movie with a certain reputation is released, he will watch it for the first time, no matter if the movie is made by the opponent or not.

   If this is placed in Huaxia, it is probably equivalent to a typical example of knowing ourselves and knowing our enemies.

   When he walked out of the movie theater after watching the superhero movie filmed by Detroit Pictures, he still had some thoughts.

   The special effects of this movie are very good, although it is not a full score, it is close to a nine.

  The depth of the plot is also good, and obviously the script has been well polished.

   Under such conditions, the film will definitely be a success, and the box office should not be too bad.

   And the special effects production of this film is estimated to cost at least 100 million US dollars. If the cost is properly controlled, the total production cost of 140 million US dollars is a reasonable range.

  He took out his mobile phone and began to check the information on the mobile phone through the Internet.

Recently, the new technology of logging in to the Internet with mobile phones has become popular in the United States. You only need to bring a smart phone to enter the world's Internet ocean. He thinks this is a very fashionable thing, and he People of this level are not bad at all, even if the price of mobile Internet is higher now, he doesn't care at all.

   Entering the news network through his mobile phone, he quickly found information related to the film.

  Detroit Pictures has announced the release date of its superhero movie, and sincerely invites fans to enjoy it, promising to see this movie is definitely worth the money.

   He glanced over at these slobbers, and then found the content of the information that he cared about the most.

  According to the interview of this media reporter, the overall budget of the film was well controlled within the range of 80 million US dollars, including the entire production cost of the film and television, excluding the announcement of the film and television.

"impossible!"

   Suddenly, Hunter shouted on the street with a slight gaffe.

   This immediately caused many people to turn their heads and stop, looking at Hunter strangely.

  Hunter also reacted, quickly left the place, walked in front of his car and entered the car, and then he immediately took out his mobile phone again to confirm the information.

   100,000,000…

  $80 million That's right, it's impossible to make a movie at $800 million, and no company is stupid enough to spend that much money to make a movie.

   But how is this done?

   That kind of special effects, how could it be possible to produce only with a total cost of 80 million?

   That is not a full-scale special effect, there are still some flaws, but it is enough for the audience watching the movie.

  Hollywood is a place that pays attention to cost control. Any Hollywood film and television company is quite stingy in controlling costs.

   Even if you can save tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands more, you will try to save.

   It is their dream to make a blockbuster with the least amount of money.

   At this moment, Hunter couldn't help but dialed a number.

   "Hey, now prepare me all the materials related to the new superhero movie released by Detroit Pictures, and I will go back to the company to watch it now."

  Hunter didn't quite believe in the price of this cost control, so he decided to go back to the company to have a look in person.

  Perhaps the media company did not investigate the facts, and could not just listen to this media news report.

   Back at the company, the employees who worked overtime on weekends were obviously very upset, but they couldn't disobey the boss's order, so they arranged all the information immediately and put them on Hunter's desk.

   He entered his office, a stack of documents was ready, he immediately picked them up one by one to check.

   These materials range from procurement information of some related industries to on-site interviews of some major media, all of which are here.

   As the boss of a film and television company, he is very competent. He is not the kind of guy who only knows how to make money and enjoy himself. Only in this way can he have a place in the highly competitive film and television market like the United States.

  This world has already developed a strong cultural industry. Except for the game industry, competition in other cultural industries is extremely fierce. It is not easy to make money if you want to lie flat, and the audience will not buy it easily.

   The pile of materials in front of Hunter had been read from noon until after ten o'clock in the evening, and he finally read them all.

   And when he read it all, he was still in a trance.

  Really...for a total cost of only $80 million...that's unbelievable.
