Chapter 677 581P Club's Combo

After the broadcast of Game of Thrones, it quickly created a whirlwind in the West.

Mr. Martin already had many fans of his books, and the TV series was very well made, far exceeding the audience's expectations. Not only did it restore the characters and scenes described in the book, but there were even many big scenes that were carefully designed and supplemented by Yuehe.

In order to be more faithful to the original work and not to overdo it like in the previous life, which was contrary to Martin's original ideas, Qing Zhiyuan specially invited Martin to serve as a consultant and guide this time, and set certain restrictions for the screenwriters to ensure the quality of the TV series at all costs.

"Isn't the "Game of Thrones" produced by Yuehe too conscientious?"

"It is quite conscientious. The TV series has created a sense of déjà vu of a blockbuster. To be honest, if it weren't for the wrong costumes and characters, I would have the illusion that I was watching the Lord of the Rings."

"The fact that the Lord of the Rings can be used as an analogy actually fully demonstrates the production level of the TV series."

"The times are constantly improving. In fact, you don't need to observe carefully to find that even the "Game of Thrones" played on TV is better than the Lord of the Rings in special effects production.

The most typical example is Ice Age The wolf special effects are so realistic. "

"Huh! ? Is it true? The direwolf was made with special effects? I always thought it was a husky impersonating it."

"No, no, wolves and dogs are actually quite easy to identify. The wolf's tail is upright, the dog's tail is upturned, and the guy's body is obviously large. You can tell it's a special effect at a glance."

In fact, when Yuehe was filming the direwolf, he used a special breed of dog. During the filming, he used green screen special effects. In the later stage, he enlarged the size of the "dog actor" and gave them some special effects such as red eyes.

There are parts that incorporate special effects, but overall it is still quite natural.

"It's quite amazing. Oh my god, I am amazed by Game of Thrones."

"And didn't you notice that the scale of this TV series is also super large. Many plots that are not in the original book have been filmed, and you can even see the key points clearly."

"Hahaha, I was just about to say that. But it's natural to think that it will be broadcast on HBO TV. After all, they are professionals in this field."

"Overall, Game of Thrones really exceeded expectations this time."

"It's a complete benefit for fans of the book. I haven't been so excited when I read the book. I was a little negative at first, fearing that Yuehe Company would accidentally ruin the original book.

After all, Yuehe is a Japanese company.

After it came out, I thought:

Wow! Make more dramas like this. I hope Yuehe can do more in the future."

"Although it is produced by Yuehe, in fact, during the filming, only the chief producer is Japanese. The rest of the staff from directors to actors are British and American.

But Yuehe It is already remarkable that Yuehe can let go of the filming and is willing to invest money. "

"Yes, this TV series should be very expensive, right? If it can be done to this extent."

"Of course, this is no longer a TV series, it is clearly invested and filmed according to the production standards of a big movie.

I read the official introduction and related news reports. It is said that Yuehe's budget for the entire "Game of Thrones" is 100 million US dollars per episode. The first season has 10 episodes, which is almost 1 billion. "

"Oh my God! This is too crazy, right? Is Yuehe crazy? Why is he willing to spend so much money to make a TV series? If this is made into a big movie, one per year, it will be enough for ten years. "

"Or else Yuehe is conscientious? "

"Can this really recover the cost? "

"I think it's difficult. Yuehe's operation is basically losing money to gain publicity. Anyway, I definitely don't know how to make it back. "

... It is definitely impossible to recover the cost by relying on TV series alone.

The main income channel is the payment share from HBO: if the audience payment rate is high, HBO will pay half of the fee to Yuehe according to the contract agreement.

The total income is definitely not enough to cover the expenses. Even if more than 20 million people open the payment, the total income is estimated to be only a few hundred million US dollars.

But you have to know that Yuehe spent more than 600 million US dollars on filming alone. Qingzhiyuan's original plan was to directly take out 1 billion US dollars for filming, mainly because it was not short of money.

With the big treasury of Pokeni, there is no need to worry about funding issues.

Special effects production saves a lot of money. It seems that the money has not been spent, but the quality of the TV series has not been discounted at all.

However, Qingzhiyuan does not plan to rely on it to make money.

The main function of this TV series is to increase the influence of word-of-mouth, so that more people around the world know "Game of Thrones" and "A Song of Ice and Fire".

There are several parts that really make money:

In addition to the payment fees from HBO, the TV series itself makes money from advertisers. There will definitely be no advertisements in the middle of the TV series, but soft advertisements in other channels can help promote it.

For example, using Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow to film advertisements for the characters in the show.

This part is actually only a small part of the total income.

Then there is the sale of CDs.

Although many TV users have their own video recorders that can record the content played on TV, and these users are also considered paying users, many non-paying users have to buy discs if they miss the broadcast time and want to watch it again.

Moreover, the resolution of the discs produced by Yuehe is much higher than that on TV.

At this point, we have to thank our old rival Sony:

In 2002, Sony, Philips, Panasonic, Hitachi, Pioneer, Samsung, LG, Sharp and other companies released Blu-ray Disc technical standards, and Blu-ray Disc was born.

There has been a qualitative leap in the expressiveness of video quality.

The resolution of Blu-ray discs usually reaches 1080P (1920×1080 pixels) or even higher, making the picture more delicate and clear.

In addition, Blu-ray also supports higher bit rates and richer color performance, making the picture more vivid and lifelike.

Moreover, the capacity of a Blu-ray disc has suddenly jumped from the original 4GB era to 25GB. In other words, viewers who used to use 6 discs to watch TV series now only need one disc.

However, this is also while keeping the size and format of the original video unchanged.

Nowadays, the size of videos has also increased dramatically. Take "Game of Thrones" as an example, the capacity of an episode has reached an astonishing more than 10 gigabytes.

But even so, there will actually be a large number of viewers willing to spend money to buy it.

Needless to say, the picture is super clear, which can provide a better experience, just like watching a movie at home.

More importantly, it has collection value.

Just like collecting books, it will also make sense to collect a complete set of "Game of Thrones" by then.

What's more, there are also large-scale scenes of major movie stars that make people want to stop.

If you ignore the intrigue and intrigue, there's nothing wrong with watching it as an entertainment-oriented movie.

…

So when they heard that Moon River would release the first season of "Game of Thrones" on Blu-ray disc in the future, countless viewers clapped their hands and applauded. It can be described as overjoyed.

…

If the CDs sell well, the cost will be almost recouped.

But, most importantly, the popularity of the TV series is actually in preparation for the upcoming grand strategy game of the same name.

It's just that pokeni has to wait until the first season is finished, and the audience has a certain understanding of the major forces and families, and all the characters are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, before the game will be released.

So as to maximize profits.

…

"Game of Thrones" premieres in August, with one episode a week, and will probably be played until mid-October.

For the corresponding game, Qing Zhiyuan has put it until the end of the year, and it doesn't matter if it can even be postponed to next year.

The second season of Game of Thrones will be released next year, and the audience will have a deeper understanding of the game.

However, there is another benefit to making grand strategy games better:

Even if you don’t understand the history and background story of Game of Thrones, it doesn’t prevent you from playing it as an imaginary European medieval strategy game.

There is no shortage of intrigues and intrigues.

As long as you play it, you will experience extraordinary fun.

This can be regarded as a masterpiece used by Qing Zhiyuan to prove his ability in simulating grand strategy games, so the road ahead must be well paved.

…

At the same time, while "Game of Thrones" was on the air, another heavyweight game from i was also launched.

That's Harry Potter

As soon as the game was released, it immediately caused a sensation.

When this game was exhibited at the E3 electronics show in July, it was already highly anticipated. The game itself is of high quality, plus it has a magical magical world, large-scale buildings, and a realistic Harry Potter worldview...

It has also attracted countless non-game players, that is, HP fans and book fans.

The content of the game is better than what Qing Zhiyuan showed before, completely exceeding the expectations of players and audiences.

Players can recreate a new character in the game. Due to the size and current hardware level, pokeni did not create a particularly complex face-squeezing system, but only introduced some simple model splicing and selection.

The boards have all been built, and you can completely trust P's art skills. It not only restored the character looks that everyone thinks should be in the HP world, but also incorporated some small creations to make these boards more relevant. life, closer to the human face in the real world.

At the same time, although there is no complicated face pinching in the game, pokeni provides some skin channels. You can choose your own different skin colors, which is also in line with the international positioning of the game:

No matter what skin color you are, you can choose the corresponding skin color to change the character's image.

Moreover, P agency has already adjusted the colors, so there will be no particularly weird shapes.

Under this premise, players can get a stronger sense of immersion:

It is equivalent to letting [me] enter a magic school and start a magical journey of magic.

In the game, you can feel the magic and magnificence of Hogwarts School. The buildings are built on the island. When you look up, you will be shocked by it.

There are also many magical special effects and mechanisms in the game. Some places that look like walls can be removed by obtaining the corresponding spell to reveal the door hidden inside.

In Hogwarts school, you can also make various friends, such as the entire protagonist group, and follow them to carry out tasks and follow the normal main line of Harry Potter.

You can also find another way and choose a task that is beneficial to you, so as to obtain more powerful magic.

Good and evil don't seem to be that important in the game, because no matter which route you choose, even if it is Mr. Snape, you will find his cuteness in the end.

No matter which route you take, the protagonist will eventually return to the path of justice.

But the process can become interesting and tortuous,

This is "Harry Potter"

…

"Wow, this is the game in my mind."

"Pokeni is so awesome, isn't it? Is this a magical world created directly in the game?

When I saw Hogwarts School, I really had goosebumps all over my body, even from a distance. "

"HP fans are in tears. Only pokeni in the world can think of what we think and restore the original work to this level.

The game "Harry Potter" is super awesome. It completely creates a new magical world, and it also has a movie-level game experience.

You can feel the charm of magic every time you walk inside.

Even in the game, it is quite worthwhile. "

"More importantly, we can play the role we want to be, and it's completely controlled by pokeni.

Think about it, how happy it would be to use your own identity to become the proud son of the Magic Academy and complete tasks with the protagonists?

It's a pity that there is no marriage or relationship guide, otherwise, I would definitely try to chase Hermione. "

"What are you thinking? This game from P Club is for players of all ages."

…

After perfectly fitting the audience's impression of HP, it can also allow players to be immersed in the game and feel the magic beyond nature. The game "Harry Potter" can be said to be quite remarkable.

So after its release, it took just over a week for the total global sales to exceed 5 million copies.

Breaking 10 million is inevitable, and many people even predict that the final sales will reach a terrifying 20 million copies.

At this point, everyone has understood:

"Pokeni has exploded this year. Movies and games have been bombarding them in turn. Movie and game linkages don't do this, right?"

"It's terrible. Although pkeni is the pioneer of video game linkage, this year it is too exaggerated.

It feels like it hasn’t stopped since the beginning of Spirited Away.

Don't forget that "Game of Thrones" has just been released on Yuehe, maybe pokeni is already planning to release its next game of the same name. "

"Yes, I remember that there is another "Gravity". The game was displayed at the E3 electronics show. I don't know when it will be released in the electronics industry, right?"

"It's coming soon. I saw the official announcement. It should be pre-heated in October and released in November."

"So the game will probably be in December or early next year? I'm actually looking forward to that game. As an astronomy fan, I'm particularly"

"This is no longer a combination boxing. We fought from December last year to the end of this year...

This is obviously a combo! ! !

How many combos have been played! "
