Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Mr. Lu, cooperating with you is our most...
"Mr. Lu, although I admire your courage and skills after listening to your explanation, we don't have extra manpower to prepare for this matter. Of course, we can get to know each other first, and then we can spare some manpower and talk about it. What do you think?"
Lu Jiao changed his hand to support his chin, and said to Kong Yin, the boss of the game studio opposite, in a serious tone, talking about the difficulties of the studio.
"In fact, you are the first company I came to, one reason is that you are responsible for the game development process of "Ghost Detective". I saw the plan you sent before. The character you set at that time was a first-person exploration, which is similar to the VR perspective," Lu Jiao watched Kong Yin finish speaking, and also shared with him the reason why he came to him.
If there is any good technology, the first thing to do is to find someone you know.
Kong Yin knew that when she bought the copyright from Star Map, she knew Lu Jiao's character. He was not a boastful person. However, "I know you have the ability and you are not just making a fuss. I will tell you the truth. Most of the VR games on the market are stand-alone games. Ghost Detective is different. It is an open world. If we want to be the first one on the market, we can't be sure of its effect and audience satisfaction. Even if we take a step back, we don't even know if the current technology of VR glasses can support this game."
"..."
Lu Jiao was silent for a long time. She looked at Kong Yin expressionlessly, and finally couldn't help but laughed at the table.
She wiped her face under Kong Yin's confused gaze and admitted her problem: "Sorry, we didn't communicate much before, I thought you already knew that in fact we already have samples of our VR glasses."
Kong Yin: "...Ah?"
Lu Jiao took the glasses out of her bag and handed them to Kong Yin with a smile.
Kong Yin's eyes were even more shocked when she took out a pair of extremely light glasses from her bag. When he carefully took it and felt the light weight, surprise was about to jump out of his eyes.
Lu Jiao told him how to open and use the glasses.
When Kong Yin put on the glasses, Lu Jiao's expression became lively. She couldn't help but secretly cursed: when she gave the VR glasses to the senior executives to try, and the factory was recruiting on a large scale, she was ready to leak the news. This time she came here because she mistakenly thought that the game studio knew the progress and only prepared a PPT. She never thought that people would be so confused.
She underestimated the strictness of the company's people.
After all, this model is a sample, and the software and video installed on it are also very simple, so Kong Yin took off the glasses after ten minutes.
After taking them off, he blinked, still a little dazed, looked down at the glasses, then looked at the surrounding environment, and finally cast his eyes on Lu Jiao who was looking at him with a smile.
His hands were faster than his brain, and he immediately shook Lu Jiao's hand: "Mr. Lu, we fully support you!"
Nonsense, as long as you know a little about the current VR market, no one will be able to keep a calm mind after seeing this pair of glasses. Most people are afraid of taking too big a step and getting hurt, but Xingtu is different. He didn't even use his two legs and took off directly! Is
there still a need for hesitation? Is it necessary to consider it? Xingtu had this technology and it was others who took the initiative to find him, so how could their studio have a chance!
Kong Yin's attitude changed like the wind, and he talked about the preparations afterwards. Lu Jiao raised his eyebrows as he listened, and threw another depth bomb in: "Don't worry about the technology of converting the screen to VR. I have prepared the relevant technology. When the time comes, I will need you to organize a team of dedicated people to come over."
"!!!!"
After Lu Jiao left, Kong Yin's friend, his assistant who opened a studio with him, came over and asked, "Why did Mr. Lu come? Are you here to ask about the progress of the game "Ghost Detective"? "
Kong Yin replied dully, "No... it's VR technology."
Assistant: "?"
Kong Yin turned around and hugged his assistant in ecstasy, "Lao Wang, we are going to publish it! Hahahahahaha!"
Not everyone is as strict as the top executives of Star Map, because just after Lu Jiao visited the two companies, invitations to her lined up from the office door to the subway station next to it.
Lu Jiao, who had just been out for two days, returned to the office again to greet the dense crowd of visitors.
Lu Jiao once again clarified what the system meant by lucky when she was drawing the lottery.
Because this technology is absolutely crushing now, and she also learned another piece of news. Unlike the company's senior executives who are tight-lipped because of a common sense of honor, the factory that recruited workers did not disclose the news because the official department specifically went to say hello.
Lu Jiao: "Ah?"
President Li was puzzled by her doubts: "I thought you built the factory in the neighboring city for this reason, because your ghost park was built there, and their city's tourism industry also flourished because of the park. In addition, the factory can bring them a lot of income, which must be good for you."
Lu Jiao thought vaguely that her power is different from the past.
Facts have proved that she can still think highly of herself.
Lu Jiao squinted at the plane in front of her, then turned to look at the producer of The Last Walker. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Boss Lu, thanks to your connections, H City Airlines rented us a scrapped plane for free. At the time, I was still thinking about whether to ask the prop team to build a model, but the shot of the plane was five minutes long, and there were also details of the engine inside. Fortunately, your connections were strong enough."
Lu Jiao circled the plane and said, "Is this plane scrapped? Why does it look fine to me from the outside?"
"The plane has aged over the years. Although it is not unflyable, I am afraid that something will happen if I keep flying it, so I replaced it," the producer took out her notebook. The script at that time was based on a real plane, and of course the appearance also needed some high-tech reincarnation transformation. She has already started thinking about it.
The filming will definitely require changes to the plane, but the producer did not hesitate, because judging from the meaning of the conversation at that time, she did not think about returning the plane. She said that leasing it was actually like giving a plane away, and it didn't matter how early it was built, so let this plane play its greatest role.
-
In this atmosphere where everyone worked hard, they finally waited for the release date of "The Walking Dead".
The filming took more than a year, and "The Walker" is scheduled to be released in the summer vacation. At the same time, the VR glasses named Sky Eye have finally been completed. Now we just need to wait for the movie to be released to promote the glasses.
Movie tickets have been pre-sold on major ticketing platforms. Although the early publicity was very fierce, the pre-sale amount is lower than the film department expected.
Although this pre-sale amount ranks first among the movies of the same period, the film department is not benchmarking the movies of the same period, but the previous performance of Star Map. The quality of the program is too good and the revenue obtained is also considerable. Compared with the previous performance, this performance is very average.
The reason soon became clear: the film was financed by Atlas, directed by Chi Wei, the female lead was a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and it was a science fiction film. These four factors combined made the audience hesitate.
Atlas and Chi Wei were credible, but the female lead was too new and the domestic science fiction base was there, so the audience's trust in science fiction films was too low.
The film department can understand the audience's feelings, but the director can decisively say: "This movie is definitely an outstanding movie this year and even in the next five years!"
Although the audience can also get excited after watching the movie, the film department still wants to give President Lu a surprise of high pre-sales. When he was worrying about how to promote it next, his employees who were paying attention to social platforms came running over and said, "Manager, the pre-sale box office is growing rapidly now!"
The manager raised his head suddenly.
Some audiences are indeed hesitant. Today, the summer movie season is full of stars. Although "The Last Walker" was well promoted, there have been cases of promotional fraud before. Until someone woke up from their dreams [There are two reasons why science fiction films were bad before. The scripts were too low and the investors were reluctant to spend money, resulting in poor quality. The first reason is that "Star Map" has a "Chicken Plan" to train screenwriters. The second reason is needless to say. In the entertainment industry, Mr. Lu always says that he is the second richest and no one dares to say he is the first.]
People woke up one after another: Yes!
"That's right, President Lu spends money so freely. The biggest problem of science fiction movies, the poor quality of props and sets, has been solved. Every play at Star Map Theater is now packed, and the competition for the top three spots is fierce. There are even many people organizing voting activities. There is no need to say about the strength of the scriptwriters."
"Damn, I'll go buy a ticket now!"
The manager covered his sprained neck and said with relief: "I said that it was the right decision to create the reputation of Star Map's products as high-quality products!"
The subordinate looked at him with his neck tilted, and said cautiously: "Manager, let's go and take a look at your neck. You've been in this posture for a long time. Doesn't your neck hurt?"
"..."
In the end, the manager went to report the good news to Lu Jiao with a plaster on his neck and a report of pre-sales exceeding 100 million.
Lu Jiao asked the manager to have a good rest. She was not worried about the quality of "The Walker". The female lead's acting skills were beyond imagination. Although Chi Wei's shooting style was different from the previous one, she was still as cold as before when shooting the scene. In addition, the plot setting was more interesting than last time. The audience would definitely not be disappointed after entering the theater. Now she was preparing more for another thing.
- VR glasses.
VR glasses have negotiated more cooperation companies than she thought.
If Lu Jiao hadn't selected so many companies, she didn't know if the glasses could fit. She only chose boutique companies for cooperation.
The news of Tianyan VR was very popular in the industry when the cooperation was just started. All major VR companies were watching the press conference. Although the concept of VR had been spread, there were not many companies that believed that Star Map could develop a cross-industry VR glasses without the real product.
Some companies even thought that Star Map was just a plastic glasses to put mobile phones in front of them. Later, as the news spread widely and more and more companies signed projects, some people half-believed that Star Map’s VR glasses might not be lying.
Many people in the industry were watching this press conference, and even many foreign VR glasses manufacturers were paying attention, but they were much more arrogant than domestic manufacturers and did not pay much attention to Tianyan VR.
The press conference of Tianyan VR glasses was scheduled to start five days after the release of "The Walker".
