In this regard, Shen Miaomiao also thought so.
but.
It is different from Gu Sheng's wait-and-see attitude.
Shen Miaomiao was very interested in this cooperation.
She didn't come from time travel, so she didn't have much prejudice against Comella, a comprehensive digital entertainment group.
She only knows that in today's global game market, they are the first-class existence.
At the same time, its somatosensory cabin market share is also among the top.
It's a world-class company.
For a world-class company to take the initiative to propose cooperation to a regional small and medium-sized game company like them, everyone has to make some considerations.
Shen Miaomiao thought this was very beneficial to her.
Due to the launch of the official version of the system, a new mechanism for adding derivative projects has been added. As long as the main project is profitable, the project is deemed successful and derivative sub-projects are allowed to be opened. The sub-projects will inherit the rebate rate of the main project and can be based on it. to further increase the multiplier.
This upgrade undoubtedly gave her a new way of thinking about losing money.
Now she can no longer blindly pursue losses when making games, but must change her strategy to increase the main project's rebate rate as much as possible, and make the main project as profitable and successful as possible.
In this way, she can open the sub-project and let the sub-project inherit the rebate rate of the main project to maximize the loss rebate!
And now!
The cooperation project proposed by Comella is suitable to be used as the main project.
After all, it is Asia's number one, pan-global comprehensive digital entertainment group.
The so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Comella's reputation is displayed here, and its strength is beyond doubt.
In addition, they still control a large share of the somatosensory cabin market.
The most important thing is that the chief director this time is Lao Gu!
If the chief director were someone else, Shen Miaomiao might still murmur a little.
But Lao Gu...
All kinds of favorable circumstances are undoubtedly even more powerful for this guy.
In this regard, Shen Miaomiao was full of confidence.
Therefore, I am also very interested in this cooperation.
Of course.
Whether it was Gu Sheng's skeptical wait-and-see attitude or Shen Miaomiao's keen interest.
There is no doubt that in this cooperation, they can have a preliminary understanding and contact.
Ever since!
Afternoon time!
With Chu Qingzhou's contact, Golden Wind and Comella started a video conference——
…
As for Comora, the person who led the meeting was naturally Moritani Tetsuya, the managing director of the game business, accompanied by Moritani's secretary Inoue Sanae, and the director of the game affairs department Higashinoda.
As for Golden Wind, the person who led the meeting was naturally the president Shen Miaomiao, and the ones accompanying him were Gu Sheng and Chu Qingzhou.
The video was connected, the two parties exchanged pleasantries, and then got to the point.
"...I believe that your company must be very interested in this cooperation if you can start a video call with us. We are deeply honored for this,"
Moritani said:
"Then please allow me, on behalf of our company, to introduce this cooperation to your company and our preliminary idea——"
The cooperation was proposed by Comella.
Naturally, they have to come up with a specific cooperation plan.
In fact, it is very normal for a comprehensive digital entertainment group like Comella to invite game manufacturers and studios to cooperate, and it is also very common in this world.
Just like Xunteng Games and Zhen Ting.
To put it bluntly, it is recruiting mercenaries.
However, the current situation of Golden Wind is somewhat different from Zhenting's situation back then.
Zhen Ting is a game supplier, specializing in providing escort masterpieces for the third generation of Polar Bear. Zhen Ting is responsible for the game production costs.
As for Xunteng Games, Zhen Ting will be provided with corresponding publicity and distribution resources, as well as some preferential commissions.
The cooperation between Comella and Golden Wind is more in-depth.
According to Moritani, this time, Comella wants to invite Golden Wind to jointly finance and develop the Silent Hill Project.
Comella will produce the IP, and Golden Wind will produce the main team.
Of the game production costs, Comela contributed 70% and Golden Wind contributed 30%.
Naturally, in terms of income, both parties also split the accounts equally.
The copyright of the game IP is fully held by Comella.
It can be said that this cooperation is relatively fair.
After all, the IP was originally a scrapped project from Comella. Golden Wind only sent a creative team of less than twenty people. The rest of the relevant production staff were from Comella, and Comella accounted for the bulk of the cost.
This cooperation is reasonable.
Shen Miaomiao and Gu Sheng looked at each other and felt that they had no objection.
Just wanted to talk about the details.
Then Moriya suddenly changed the subject and said, "But..."
Looking at the big screen, Moritani opened his mouth and muttered:
"But before the official development begins, out of trust and recognition of your company, Mr. Sam, we hope to start pilot cooperation with your company immediately."
"Pioneer cooperation?"
This is a new word, and due to the language barrier between the two parties, they have always communicated in English. Shen Miaomiao did not know whether her translation was correct, so she said doubtfully:
"Mr. Moritani, can you explain this so-called 'pioneer cooperation' in detail?"
"Okay, okay,"
Moritani nodded and said:
"Theoretically speaking, the cooperation between our two parties will take at least one and a half to two months, from negotiation to discussing specific details, to the release of the cooperation agreement, legal approval by both parties, and final signing."
On this point, Moritani Toru didn't talk nonsense.
After all, the cooperation between Comella and Golden Wind is already a multinational project.
The situation itself is a little more complicated.
In addition, Golden Wind also has a parent company, Shen Capital.
According to the company's regulations, for any project involving [cross-border cooperation], the relevant contract agreement must be reviewed by the legal department of the parent company.
This is a hard and fast rule.
After all, the size of Shen Capital is here. Without a little special support and background, it would be impossible to be so stable.
This is not only Shen Wanlin's request, but also the meaning above.
so!
Even a game cooperation development agreement cannot be completed within one or two months from drafting to signing.
"But in two months, the Dongjin Game Festival will start, leaving us not much time,"
Moritani said:
"Given the current situation in the horror game market, a simple promotional video does not seem to be able to demonstrate our determination to rebuild the glory of horror games,"
"So, the higher-ups proposed that at this Dongjin Game Festival, in addition to the promotional video, there should also be a trial version for players to experience the game,"
"The time does not need to be too long, but we must fully demonstrate our innovation in horror games and make the rebooted Silent Hill IP become the hope of the horror game market,"
"so……"
Speaking of which.
Moritani opened his mouth and considered the words:
"So we are considering whether we can launch pilot cooperation in advance and promote the production of the trial version during the formal cooperation negotiation process?"
Tsk—! ! !
As soon as this statement came out!
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but smacked their lips secretly at the same time, frowning slightly.
It can be seen that Comella is a little anxious. It must be that this plan of 'expanding game types and developing horror games' was only proposed not long ago, and it seems to be rushing the game to the shelves.
Somewhat difficult to handle.
If it is just pure cooperation, then according to the conditions proposed by Comella, Golden Wind has no reason to refuse.
Not to mention making money, the key is that this cooperation will greatly help their reputation.
But now, Moritani suddenly proposed a 'pilot cooperation', which undoubtedly disrupted the step-by-step cooperation process.
"This...does not comply with our company's regulations..."
After pondering for a moment, Shen Miaomiao frowned slightly and said:
"Any project involving [cross-border cooperation] must go through the approval of the upper-level parent company and risk assessment. This is our rigid rule,"
"No matter how fast our process is, it won't take more than a month to complete,"
"I don't think we can achieve the 'pilot cooperation' proposed by your company."
The red line cannot be touched.
Although Shen Miaomiao was concerned about her rebate plan, she did not lose her wits and forcefully challenge the head office's regulations.
However.
Who is Mori Valley?
Since he proposed this idea, he naturally had his own solution and smiled:
"We also have a general understanding of your company's situation,"
"In terms of rules and regulations, we absolutely respect the relevant requirements of your company and your country and will never touch restricted areas,"
"So, we made some changes,"
"We are proceeding with cooperation negotiations and approvals as usual,"
"But during the negotiation, we are willing to 'employ' Mr. Sam at twice the market price,"
"Please forgive me for using this inappropriate word, and I would like to express my sincerest apologies if it offended me."
"In this case, our two sides cannot be regarded as a [transnational cooperative relationship],"
"It's a very simple relationship between [labor outsourcing] and [labor dispatch],"
"As far as I know, such an outsourcing employment relationship does not require lengthy approvals and risk assessments."
Damn it? !
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
This is really a toad marrying a frog - an ugly flower.
Moritani's proposal is equivalent to directly bypassing Shen Capital's regulations.
For the time being, Comella only 'hires' himself, the king of special forces, and pays himself a salary to resolve the matter of the trial version.
Later, after the two parties formally reached a cooperation, Golden Wind will send money and send people to jointly develop the main game of Silent Hill with Comella.
Hear the words.
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao turned their heads at the same time and looked at Chu Qingzhou, the chief secretary who was most familiar with the company's regulations.
Chu Qingzhou nodded slightly, saying that Moritani's method was indeed feasible and not illegal.
Gu Sheng thought to himself, "Good job", looked at Shen Miaomiao, seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and raised his eyebrows:
'This little devil came prepared. He understands your family's rules and regulations better than you do. '
Shen Miaomiao also felt that this matter was quite outrageous.
As Lao Gu said, if Moritani hadn't come up with this method, even she might not have been able to come up with this magical 'pioneer cooperation' model.
He also responded to Gu Sheng with a dumbfounded expression:
'What do you think? King of Special Forces? Do you think this method is feasible? '
Gu Sheng thought for a while and curled his lips slightly:
'Let's see what his price is. If it's suitable, it might as well be. '
Shen Miaomiao's big eyes flashed:
'That's it. '
He turned to look at Tetsuya Moritani and said, "We have discussed that this method is feasible, but before that, we need to understand your company's bid."
After Shen Miaomiao finished speaking, she waited for Mori Gu's reply.
But on the opposite side, Moritani was already stupid!
ah? ? ?
Bridge... bridge bean sack!
You mean 'discuss'?
Where did you...just...have a discussion?
Didn't you guys say nothing the whole time, just looking at each other a few times?
Could it be said that Golden Wind has its own secret code? Like Morse code?
hiss! ! !
Think of this!
Moritani's scalp couldn't help but feel numb.
If this is the case, then the golden wind is too terrifying!
Because in this way, they can exchange opinions at any time in any negotiation meeting without hesitation, and then dominate the rhythm of the negotiation table!
"This... uh... ah..."
Moritani didn't quite understand how the two people negotiated and how they reached an agreement. After hesitating for a long time, he regained his composure, took the quotation booklet from Secretary Inoue next to him, and swallowed:
"According to our market research and comparison, the annual salary for an excellent producer like Mr. Sam who holds the position of Director is generally between 100,000 and 150,000 U.S. dollars,"
"After discussion, in order to show our full sincerity and determination,"
"We decided to invite Mr. Sam to serve as the special chief game director of Silent Hill with top salary, totaling 300,000 U.S. dollars."
Wow--
When they heard Moritani's quotation, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao sighed softly in their hearts.
It was just to make a trial version of the game, and Comella offered a price of double the maximum annual salary.
Three hundred thousand dollars, equivalent to 2.1 million yuan.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but secretly sigh that the rich man was really rich, so rich.
Shen Miaomiao secretly remembered the price and prepared to find a suitable opportunity to increase Lao Gu's salary.
After all, for such a long time, from Cat Leo to Titanfall, Lao Gu has been receiving an annual salary of 500,000 yuan.
Although this price is not low in the domestic market, plus the dividends at the end of the year will earn a lot.
But she believes that Lao Gu deserves a higher net worth now.
certainly.
Like the two capable men Lu Bian Dajiang, Lao Gu's right-hand man naturally cannot be left behind.
Um!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao nodded.
I am here to reward employees and enhance the cohesion of the company. I am not deliberately raising labor costs to further increase the investment budget for future games!
That’s it!
There is no objection between the two parties!
The pilot cooperation has been concluded!
Comella will hire Gu Sheng to be the special chief game director of "Silent Hill" for a price of 300,000 U.S. dollars, giving him the highest authority within the project and leading all matters of the project.
And Gu Sheng will also go to Neon in person in a week to settle in the Comella Game Division and start the development of the Silent Hill trial version!
Both parties expressed their expectations and optimism for this cooperation.
At the same time, Shen Miaomiao was also in the system, opened the main project document, and directly extended the document attachment time to 90 days——
[Main project: Silent Hill (unlocked)]
[Project investment amount: 0 yuan]
[Project settlement time:? days (+90 days)]
[Project rebate rate: 10 times (+90 times)]
[Current revenue amount: 2.1 million yuan]
[Estimated rebate amount: 0 yuan]
[Remaining settlement time: waiting to be opened]
[PS: Settlement time cannot be generated for unlocked documents and will be automatically generated after locking]
Perfect!
Looking at the documents that had not yet been locked, Shen Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction!
This wave, I want to make profits rather than lose!
As long as this wave is successful, when my next sub-document is generated, it will be the day I get 100 times the rebate!
Lao Gu! rely on you! You have to work hard!
Shen Miaomiao was extremely excited!
And Gu Sheng is also gearing up!
silent Hill!
This landmark super IP has now come to his hands in a roundabout way.
And he will also show off his talents and bring players a psychological horror journey that goes straight to the depths of the soul!
Horror restarts!
Silent Hill - Here it comes! ! ! ——
PS: Please vote for me~
