Although Wang Chuan announced the overall plan, everyone was still very curious when it came to production.
"Yes, strictly speaking, this is the game's CG animation, but it's made to the standards of a promotional video."
Wang Chuan nodded. We have to promote it. We spent so much money, it would be a shame if we didn’t promote it!
It's a serious job to produce an RTS game and spend so much money to make CG animations. The entire gaming industry has never seen such a thing.
This is the first time in the world.
If other manufacturers dare to do this, they probably won’t be able to recoup their costs.
Because if this game doesn’t go viral, then it’s a loss, so it’s a gamble! !
Of course, this is the case with other manufacturers. If it were Wang Chuan, it would be different because he knew that this game would definitely be a hit.
Therefore, at that time, there must be the greatest publicity, combined with the game itself, to achieve the greatest effect at the beginning and directly spread the layout.
Wang Chuan already had a rough idea in mind about this, and the website and promotional video were his backup plans.
After hearing Wang Chuan's words, the girls beside him focused on something completely different.
"Boss, how much did the game's CG animation cost?"
As Wang Chuan's secretary, Huang Shanshan knew some inside information, but she only knew that it was very expensive, but she was not sure how much it cost exactly.
"Yes, Mr. Wang, I heard that CG animation is very expensive. We do quite a lot of it, so it must cost at least a few million, right?"
Gong Yingnan calculated with an innocent look on his face.
But the truth will make her jaw drop.
Huh, huh, huh, ignorant girl, millions???
Increase it ten times! !
"Not much, not much. Only 70,000 per second, and I only worked for 20 minutes."
Looking at the curious and innocent looks of the crowd, Wang Chuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then said calmly.
"ha??"
"What??"
"Seventy thousand dollars a second? Twenty minutes??"
Before Gong Yingnan could react after the words were spoken, everyone else was shocked.
The boys blurted out in shock, while the girls covered their mouths in shock.
“A lot?”
Gong Yingnan was a little confused and couldn't figure it out, so he asked with a very serious look on his face.
"A lot? It's a lot, okay? 70,000 per second, that's over 80 million in 20 minutes, that's nearly 100 million!!"
Wei Wei twitched his lips and explained to the ignorant girl.
"Ahhh, so much money, all spent??"
For some reason, Gong Yingnan felt a little pain in his heart, then looked at Wang Chuan and said with a puzzled expression:
"I have to say, Mr. Wang, you're really a spendthrift."
"What do you mean by wasting money? It's not that much. If you convert it into US dollars, it's just over 10 million. Looking at it this way, doesn't it suddenly not seem so expensive?"
Looking at everyone's expressions, Wang Chuan suddenly became playful and said jokingly.
Forehead......
It does seem to be a lot cheaper.
Ugh!!
Holy shit, it's cheaper when converted to US dollars?
It’s still the same price!
Everyone was speechless.
"But, Mr. Wang, isn't this too risky? It will drain all the company's working capital at once."
Huang Shanshan thought about it, and finally opened her red lips and said with some concern.
As a secretary and housekeeper, she is very concerned about funding.
After hearing her words, others also became worried.
"Hahaha, don't worry!! I've got all of this memorized. I'll just read you a statistic and you won't have to worry anymore."
Wang Chuan was very happy about everyone's concern for the company, which showed that everyone had taken the company as their own.
"Currently, the revenue of Rate of Land has reached over 200 million yuan. After deducting the platform's commission and the taxes that need to be paid, we can still get about 160 million yuan."
"So, the cost of Warcraft is actually less than one month's revenue for us. Even if it fails, we won't be seriously hurt."
"Besides, we won't fail!!!"
After Wang Chuan finished talking about the data of "Rate of Kingdoms", the others also suddenly understood.
Mr. Wang is right!!
The current revenue generated by "Rate of Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms Kill" is enough to support them to produce high-cost games.
Moreover, although the cost of "Warcraft" is high, the quality is also excellent.
Therefore, they are very confident about the results of the game.
But, 80 million for 20 minutes of CG animation is really a lot! !
It's enough to make many, many games.
"In that case, Boss, let's get back to work. I think that conversation could use some revisions!"
Seeing Wang Chuan's high-spirited look, Huang Shanshan was unconsciously a little dazed. After she reacted, she spoke hurriedly.
Then he took Gong Yingnan away.
"Mr. Wang, I suddenly feel that there is a solution to that numerical problem!!"
At the same time, Wei Wei also left decisively and continued to immerse himself in the keyboard and algorithms.
"Mr. Wang, I suddenly thought of a good promotion idea. I'll write it down."
Seeing everyone working so hard, Zhao Jing couldn't sit still anymore and turned around and left with a pen and paper.
Liu Qiang and Zhou Wei looked at each other, and when they found that they were the only two left, they said in unison:
"Mr. Wang, let's go polish the platform and website. We're leaving first!"
More than 80 million was spent on the 20-minute CG animation of the game, which shocked everyone.
But it also ignited everyone's enthusiasm.
To be able to spend such a huge amount of money on a real-time strategy game, such courage is impossible even for the third-party developers, right?
"Forehead......"
Looking at the people who left in an instant, Wang Chuan was stunned.
Then I realized what was happening and started laughing unconsciously!!!
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is not worth spending such a huge amount of money to produce a CG animation for a real-time strategy game.
Well, actually Wang Chuan also thinks it’s not worth it!!!
But if the other party is "Warcraft", then he will feel that it is worth it, very worth it!!
After all, RTS games have certain limitations, but using CG animation can allow players to understand the plot of the game, thereby creating a sense of immersion and making up for those limitations.
This is also the reason why Wang Chuan created a website to promote this IP.
It's not only for the Azeroth universe, but also to assist "Warcraft".
Because for Wang Chuan, the success of "Warcraft" is related to his future market layout, it is very critical and important! !
