After Robert left, Xiao Yunhai went to the data room to look at the viewership ratings curve before leaving.
Xiao Yunhai drove to his headquarters office and called Raúl in.
"Raúl, how much profit did the four movies make?"
Xiao Yunhai's four superhero movies had all been completed by the day before yesterday. He had successfully completed his goal. Other 3D movies had also started to appear in the market. Among them, the sci-fi blockbuster filmed by MGM Grand stood out. Unfortunately, the ticket prices had dropped a lot. It was very difficult to exceed 10 billion USD.
"After deducting the theater's share and various entertainment taxes, 'Batman's' box office profit is 5.7 billion US dollars, and the video download is 340 million US dollars. 'Iron Man's' box office profit is 6.2 billion US dollars, and the video download is 230 million US dollars. 'Captain America's' box office profit is 5.9 billion US dollars, and the video download is 380 million US dollars. 'X-Men' was released two days ago, and the final profit is 6.8 billion US dollars, and the video download is 160 million US dollars."
Four superhero movies plus Xiao Yunhai's' 2012 '. If he included the theater's share of the box office, the five 3D movies had brought him more than 40 billion USD. It was simply blinding.
What was even more shocking was that the top five movies in the world's box office were all Marvel Comics movies. It was simply a miracle.
Xiao Yunhai nodded in satisfaction and said, "Looks like our strategy is right."
Raúl smiled and said, "Yes, it's too right. Only you have the courage to shoot five movies and maximize the benefits while everyone is still suspicious of 3D movies. "
Xiao Yunhai asked with a playful expression, "Raúl, tell me the truth. Did you hesitate back then?"
Raúl chuckled and nodded. "Yes. When I first heard about your plan, I felt that it was a little too risky. If it weren't for the fact that we're all rookies and that the filming costs aren't high, I would definitely object. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "If you have any concerns in the future, just tell me directly. We can discuss it together. I'm not the kind of person who can't listen to different opinions."
Raúl said, "I know, boss."
"By the way, what are those meritorious officials busy with?"
"They're all filming the second movie. They were all very excited to get such good results. Perhaps because she had been holding it in for too long, she didn't want to waste any time. So, she started preparing for the movie while the movie was being screened. According to our rules, they already have the right to choose their own movies. "
"But the prerequisite is that it must pass our review. We can't afford to lose face if we make a lousy film. "
"Of course we are aware of that. We have carefully checked the scripts they submitted. Even Director Bikven participated in it. He said it was very good. It wasn't easy for them to stand up in the entertainment industry with superhero movies. Naturally, they would cherish it. "
"Very good. Remember, Marvel's review department has to take responsibility in the future. They must strictly review the scripts submitted by everyone. If necessary, they can invite Bikven or other outstanding directors who have nothing to do to join in. "
"I understand. Boss, Robert just called me. He wants to invite you to an interview with Marvel TV station. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. "I just came from his place. Why didn't he tell me? Instead, he asked you to ask."
Raúl laughed. "Robert might be embarrassed. After all, you just attended the gala and performed. Now, you're immediately invited to an interview with the TV station. If it were me, I would also feel embarrassed. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled. "No wonder I saw this guy looking like he wanted to say something before I left. So it's because of this. Okay, I agree. But it will take a few days. My wife will arrive tonight. Tomorrow, we will start promoting her new song. When we get good results, the two of us will be interviewed together. It can be considered as publicity. "
Raúl said, "That's great. The visit of the world's richest couple will definitely attract everyone's attention. I'll get Robert to prepare. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded. "Okay."
After lunch, Xiao Yunhai went to the Storm Game Company again to look around and learn about the publicity of "Warcraft".
Good lord, according to the plan of the publicity department, at least 800 million USD would be spent on publicity this month. TV stations, Internet, newspapers, magazines, Internet cafes, supermarkets … Anyway, as long as Xiao Yunhai could think of publicity means, it was listed above. It could be described as overwhelming.
Xiao Yunhai originally set the publicity cost for "Warcraft" not more than 1 billion USD. The publicity department really let loose and used such a huge amount of money to the extreme.
After a brief introduction, Semomore tentatively asked, "Boss, isn't it a bit too ruthless? I'm worried that if something happens … "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and smiled. "I'll say it again. You have to have confidence in yourselves. Our Storm Game Company is not very famous in the industry. If we want to promote the game to the point where the whole world knows about it, we have to be ruthless and let the game fans know about our "Warcraft". "
Semomore nodded and said, "Boss, we also understand this principle, but the pressure is a bit too much. Seeing the company promote our "Warcraft" without caring about the cost, if the results are not good, it will be too unfair to you. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed. "This is my decision. You don't need to worry about it. Semomore, you've settled "Warcraft". Have you thought about continuing to develop new games? "
Semomore said, "The R&D team is discussing it, but there's no clue yet."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Let me tell you one. We can create a 5v5 "King's Canyon" and "Battle Royale Mode". Let the players fight fairly. Then we can combine all the different classes in the game such as Warrior, Assassin, Mage, Archer, etc … "
Xiao Yunhai was talking about the game "King's Glory" that was popular all over the world in his previous life.
According to reports, the daily active users of this game reached 50 million. Just the skin of Zhao Yun earned 150 million in a day. It was simply a treasure bowl. Such a game, Xiao Yunhai naturally wanted to get his hands on it.
However, in his previous life, he only played for a few days before transmigrating to this world. The specific details were not clear. But with a game expert like Semomore here, this was of course not a problem.
The more Semomore listened, the more excited he became. His eyes were emitting a blue light. The way he looked at Xiao Yunhai was like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.
Until Xiao Yunhai finished his introduction, Semomore slapped his thigh and said, "Boss, your game is too good. All kinds of historical characters, comic characters mixed together, it's simply too immersive. I believe that as long as it's made, both men and women will immediately be attracted to it. Then through changing skins, buying equipment, and other methods to earn profits, it's really a genius idea. Boss, what's the name of this game? "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it King's War."
Semomore nodded and said, "That's a good name. I'll immediately follow your idea and hold a R&D meeting. Then I'll immediately start researching. I think it's best to make two versions, one for Hua Xia and one for Europe and America. In any case, the general environment is the same, the only difference is the characters. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "How you do it is your business, I don't care. How much R&D funds do you need? Give me a list. I still say the same thing, don't be afraid of spending money. Whether a game can succeed or not depends on the quality of the game. "
Semomore said, "I understand."
With "Warcraft" and "King's War", two of the most profitable games in his previous life, Xiao Yunhai believed that within five years, Storm Game Company would become the most profitable game company in the world.
