   Chapter 499 Capital is the most ruthless (210)

  498

   Capital is the most ruthless, it will not be shaken by some emotional problems.

   As long as the profit is maximized, even if the soul is sold.

  Detroit Film Group, as a top film and television company, is also a top business group.

  When Hayakawa Ukito realized the value of Unreal Engine, he decided to ignore the competition with Zhu Yuxing, and took the initiative to contact Zhu Yuxing for authorization of the engine.

   Zhu Yuxing also agreed to the authorization very generously, but because of the competition, the asking price is much higher than others, which Hayakawa Zhito also recognized, as long as the things are good enough.

  Detroit Pictures also packaged and purchased the license for film special effects production, and now many movies are using Unreal Engine.

   The special feature of Unreal Engine is that if compared with other special effects production systems and software, the same effect is 90%, and Unreal Engine can save more than 30% of the cost.

   Of course, if you want to make the quality of special effects reach 100%, the cost will still be very high, which is also a weakness.

   But in fact, the average audience simply doesn’t have the time to distinguish the difference between ninety and one hundred.

  The screen shots of the movie are switched too fast, only those who are critical will care about this, but it is impossible for such people to contribute more money to the company.

   This also makes Detroit Pictures now rely more and more on this special effect software.

   It’s just that although Detroit Pictures relies a lot on this special effect software, Detroit Pictures did not forget to help the head office to suppress Yuxing Electronic Entertainment by the way, which is not a conflict.

Moreover, Detroit Pictures is standing behind the scenes. Although they secretly instructed Alfonso and other filmmakers to boycott Yuxing Entertainment's works, they can continue to use Yuxing Entertainment's products while remaining calm. No one dares to say what.

  Alfonso felt that he was really being fooled.

   This makes him a little regretful now.

   But regretting it now doesn’t really mean much. It’s impossible for the works he invested in to switch to Unreal Engine to develop movies at this time, so if that’s the case, he’ll just go all the way to the black.

   So he gritted his teeth and said, "I will invest some more money, maybe another 30 million dollars, can I raise the quality level of the special effects to another level?"

   "Of course this is no problem, and it is possible to reach about 95% of the quality."

   "Then do it." Alfonso made a direct decision, and then he was very distressed and began to inject funds into the special effects production team.

   This is all real money, but there is no other good way now.

   This is his ambitious work over the years. There is nothing wrong with the quality of the film itself. As long as this kind of film is released, if there is no accident, it should at least be able to keep the capital.

   However, at this moment, he is a little obsessed with Unreal Engine.

   He felt that this thing must be a good thing, after all, it can save a lot of money, but unfortunately it was made by a company that he boycotted before.

   is really a shame.

   At the same time, this also made Alfonso break the jar.

  Since it doesn't work, let's continue to belittle and slander it. Anyway, I should have been blacklisted by Youxing Electronic Entertainment by now.

   So he chose to be a guest in a show that night.

This is an American talk show program. The host is very topical and can bring the atmosphere very much. It is a well-known talk show host program. , usually the same day the program will be broadcast at the same time.

   After he came to the scene, he had some simple interactions with the host, and he was already familiar with it, and then he started to go straight to the theme, which is to continue to criticize the irresponsible behavior of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for encroaching on the film industry.

   But the words are similar to those before. It is a kind of contempt for the film industry that a game producer should do things above the director.

"If I were to judge, I don't think Yuxing Entertainment should be involved in the film industry. They are obviously very successful in their own industry, so they can continue to maintain this advantage. If they have a certain series of IPs that they want For film adaptations, I think it is more appropriate to cooperate with professional film and television companies, rather than making films by myself."

   "Alfonso, listening to you, do you think you are a more suitable partner?"

   The host said with a bit of ridicule.

   This host seems to have the talent to help fire, and he points directly to the point in one sentence.

   "Me? I definitely won't, because the company Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is not in line with my philosophy. Even if the other party takes the initiative to ask me, I will definitely not agree."

Then he paused and continued: "However, when it comes to the IP of the movie, I have been making a movie recently, and the special effects are very good. We have already conducted a short screening internally, and the response has been very good. This kind of movie is very suitable for watching in the cinema, if the audience is interested..."

   "That, please wait a moment! Please wait a moment!"

   Just when Alfonso was ready to promote his movie, and the host also cooperated and planned to tout it, a voice sounded from the audience under the stage.

  The camera quickly switches to the auditorium, and then the focused lights of the auditorium come on, shining on a young man who looks to be in his early twenties.

   The young man was a little indignant at this time.

   "My friend, do you have any questions?" the host asked.

   "I would like to ask Mr. Alfonso, why do you think the Final Fantasy movie produced by Takeyusei's supervision is very bad?"

   "It's very simple, because he is not in the film industry, he is not professional in this field." Alfonso said with a natural shrug.

The fact seems to be the case. Zhu Youxing is not very good at scheduling and controlling the filming process in the film industry. Otherwise, he would not hand over the management authority to the director, and let the director become a steward of the film, not an inspiration. sponsor.

  Alfonso doesn't seem to have much problem with this explanation and answer.

The young man said at this time: "Then you may not know Zhu Yuxing, many of the games he made have very good plot stories, and some stories can even be called masterpieces and classics, no less than an excellent movie. "

Alfonso looked at the young man calmly and said: "So what? So he is very successful in the game industry, and he can be equally successful in the film industry for granted? You are too young, the film industry is not as good as you think. Mixed, every industry has its difficulties, how could a layman easily beat us professionals? If it really happened, wouldn’t our hard work for so many years be a joke?”
