The next morning, Li Zetian drove to Blizzard, where he saw a large group of reporters standing outside the building.
"I learned that Blizzard is going to shoot "StarCraft: Uprising", and they all came to interview..." Li Zetian murmured, and the Rolls-Royce car drove to the underground garage, ready to take the elevator directly from there.
As soon as Li Zetian got out of the car, he saw a little boy eating a hamburger not far away, staring at him with big round eyes, and suddenly ran away after a while.
"Mama, Mama, come out and see, I'm alive, I've seen a live Chronos Li!!!" The little boy ran to a red Ferrari and shouted excitedly, a middle-aged Women appear to be carrying things in the car.
Li Zetian touched his nose, how strange it sounds.
…
Taking the elevator to the floor where Blizzard is located, Mike Mohan and others rushed out to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Li!" Mike Mohan stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Well," Li Zetian nodded and shook hands, then looked around and found that everyone was looking at him, Li Zetian smiled at everyone, "How are you guys, is your work hard?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison: "It's not hard!!"
Li Zetian nodded slightly, and then led by Mike Mohan, came to his office.
As soon as he sat down, Li Zetian asked about the movie "StarCraft: Uprising".
"We have invited top Hollywood screenwriters to work with Blizzard staff to write the script. As for the director of this film, we initially wanted to invite James Cameron to direct," Mike Mohan sighed slightly, "Unfortunately, James Director Cameron was working on another film and declined."
James Cameron should be preparing for "Avatar", Li Zetian thought to himself, this is a very powerful film, with an investment of less than 300 million US dollars, sweeping the global box office of nearly 3 billion US dollars, making it a sensation and becoming a phenomenon-level movie.
James Cameron is really hanging!
Mike Mohan said: "Since James Cameron didn't agree to direct the film, then we can only hire other directors. In fact, our film has such a large investment, and it was adapted from a game, so it was not broadcast before it was broadcast. Huo, many directors are very interested and have offered themselves, including director Steven Spielberg. He once wanted to direct "Star Wars", but he never had the chance. "StarCraft" is a film that does not Lost to the splendid Star Wars movie, and we believed in the ability of Steven Spielberg to direct the film, so we decided to let him direct the film!"
Li Zetian nodded and said, "Well, I'm very relieved that Steven Spielberg will be the director. By the way, this time, I have another matter to discuss with you." Li Zetian paused and asked: "Mohan, do you know "EVE Online"?"
Mike Mohan nodded and said: "Know something, it is a new game launched by Icelandic Game Developers (CCP) in May this year. With the grand space as the background and a high degree of integration of hard sci-fi elements, it shows players an extremely free virtual universe. Sandbox world. Various activities can be carried out in the game's sandbox universe, including mining, industrial manufacturing, scientific research, financial trade, exploration and archaeology, etc…”
Li Zetian said: "Don't you think it's cool to develop "StarCraft" into "StarCraft Online"?"
Mike Mohan muses.
…
Since the news that "StarCraft" will be made into a movie came out, game makers have been favored for a while.
Shanghai, China.
Shanda Company welcomed an important guest today. Chen Tianqiao and a large number of company executives all came to the door to greet him.
Ah, my Hu Hansan is here again!
Sun Zhengyi raised his chest and walked into the Shanda Company with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Sun's visit will make our Shanda company flourish!" Chen Tianqiao said with a smile.
Sun Zhengyi laughed and said: "Mr. Chen, "Legend" has written the myth of the Chinese game industry, and even surpassed "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike" for a time, it's really amazing! Especially for Shanda's small and broad, Using the method of empty gloves and white wolves to successfully make "Legend" work in China, this is what makes me admire you the most!"
When Chen Tianqiao heard this, he was quite proud. Thinking back then, Shanda only had 300,000 US dollars. It was me who overcame all opinions and broke the boat, and gave the 300,000 US dollars to "Legend", and then used this contract to fool Telecom and the computer room on credit. Own broadband and computer room, otherwise, how could there be today's Shanda company
Chen Tianqiao was proud in his heart, but he said, "Haha, Mr. Sun is very praised. Compared with you, it is not worth mentioning! Under your wise leadership, SoftBank has become a Fortune 500 company!"
Flower sedan chairs carry people and tout each other.
After a while, he came to the office.
Sun Zhengyi said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I admire you very much, so I plan to invest in Shanda!"
Chen Tianqiao was overjoyed, even though he had already guessed that Sun Zhengyi would invest in Shanda.
"Mr. Sun, how much do you plan to invest?"
Sun Zhengyi thought in his heart that the popularity of game adaptation movies is indeed a development direction in the future. Shanda has a great reputation in China and is synonymous with the Chinese game industry, second only to Flamingo in China. Although "Legend of Blood" suffered heavy losses due to foreign abduction and private servers, the thin dead camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still one of the most popular games in China at the moment. It is said that the "Legend World" independently developed by Shanda has been completed and will be listed soon.
"SoftBank invests 100 million US dollars in Shanda, and Shanda Group can sell 25% of the shares." At this time, Sun Zhengyi said, invest more, take more shares in Shanda, and increase Softbank's right to speak in Shanda Group .
Hearing this, Chen Tianqiao's people were all shocked.
It is rumored that Masayoshi Son of SoftBank is decisive and domineering, and it is true!
Chen Tianqiao and the others looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
The Shanda of this life is not as rich as the Shanda of the previous life, and now there is an urgent need for huge funds to be used for turnover. In addition, as long as there is money, Shanda can go to Korea to represent more games and make more money!
The tempting conditions put forward by Sun Zhengyi are simply impossible to refuse!
Chen Tianqiao and others were all moved.
"Cough, Mr. Sun, Shanda Group is willing to accept SoftBank's investment!" Chen Tianqiao stretched out his hand and smiled.
"The cooperation is pleasant. I believe that with the support of Softbank, Shanda Group will definitely become one of the best game companies in the world!"
At noon, Masayoshi Son signed an investment agreement with Chen Tianqiao on behalf of SoftBank, which was astonishingly fast.
"Look, Mr. Sun, it's already noon, I'm the host, I invite you to dinner, don't refuse!" Chen Tianqiao said.
Sun Zhengyi smiled and nodded.
…
In the box of a star-rated hotel, gongs and chips are staggered.
Sun Zhengyi was happy for his successful investment in Shanda Company, raised his glass and said, "Mr. Chen, Shanda Group can grow rapidly with this investment. I hope you will make persistent efforts to create brilliance and become the largest game company in China!!!"
"Thank you for Mr. Sun's auspicious words!" Chen Tianqiao's face was red, and he didn't know if it was because he was excited or drinking.
At this time, Chen Tianqiao was in high spirits, as if seeing Shanda Group as the dominant player in the Chinese gaming industry.
In the past, Flamingo was like an unattainable mountain in his eyes, but since "Legend of Blood" defeated "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike" and became the most popular game in China, Chen Tianqiao's idea Changed, Flamingo is not invincible. One, there are two, Shanda can beat Flamingo once, and can beat it a second time!
Shanda Group spent huge sums of money to develop "Legend World" and gave it great expectations, even though "Legend World" copied "Blood Legend", so what
Sun Zhengyi put down the glass and asked at this time, "Mr. Chen, when will "Legendary World" be officially released?"
"November 30th night!!" Chen Tianqiao said.
Sun Zhengyi suddenly thought of something and murmured: "The first online game "World of Warcraft" developed by Blizzard seems to be in public beta on November 30?"
Chen Tianqiao smiled confidently: "Haha, Mr. Sun don't have to worry, Shanda is unanimously optimistic about "Legend World", if "World of Warcraft" comes to China, it will only be crushed by "Legend World"!"
In Chen Tianqiao's view, "Legend World" was changed from "Blood Legend", and "World of Warcraft" was changed from "Warcraft". In the Chinese game market, "Legend" has the largest number of players.
