Although Warcraft was free for three days, it earned 3.4 billion USD in profit just from the download fees alone.
Xiao Yunhai looked at the statistics and shook his head with a bitter smile. "No wonder those game companies are so rich. It turns out that they can make so much money. "
Zhao Wanqing laughed. "Do you think it's so easy to make money from games? Let me tell you, more than 95% of online games are liked by more than 100,000 players. Even the most famous game companies only had 46 million downloads, and it only lasted for a short month before it dropped. Warcraft might be popular now, but it might be replaced by other games next week. "
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Honey, can you not say that? After all, this is our game, okay? Even if it can't be popular for eight to ten years, it can at least be popular for three to five years. "
In his previous life, Warcraft had been popular for more than ten years, and Blizzard had become the world's leading game company.
In this world, there hadn't been a game that could be popular for two years.
However, Xiao Yunhai felt that "Warcraft" was still very possible.
Zhao Wanqing said, "Honey, if Warcraft can really be popular for three years, you can earn at least 20 million USD with this game. However, it's very difficult to achieve that. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "With effort, it might be possible."
Zhao Wanqing laughed. "I hope so. Hubby, since 'Warcraft' is done, are you going back to Beijing? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. The post-production of 'The Grandmasters' will be completed in a week. I'm considering if I should bring it to the European and American regions. Honey, what do you think? "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Of course I'm going to bring it over. Did you forget that when you participated in our TV station's' Celebrity Chat 'interview, you promised that you would show the movie to the audience in advance after it was completed? Why? Are you going to go back on your word? "
Xiao Yunhai patted his forehead and said, "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Alright, make the English version first and let them have a look. If I think it's good, I'll get it to show in Europe and America. Hehe, this could be considered a pretty good advertisement. Honey, how's your song? "
Zhao Wanqing said, "He's still in first place. However, Elliot was hot on my heels. He immediately jumped to second place, almost the same as me. After this week, I have to release a new song. Otherwise, he will catch up with me. "
Xiao Yunhai giggled and said, "Honey, didn't you say you didn't care?"
Zhao Wanqing said angrily, "That was before. My goal now is to sell more than 100 million albums, and 'Grandmaster' will get a good box office. Then I will focus on taking care of my children. Occasionally, I'll come out to take a breather or film a movie or TV series. "
Xiao Yunhai gently stroked her hair and said with a doting expression, "You can do whatever you want. After 'Grandmaster' is done, I will take a break and prepare to go to England to watch the World Cup. Are you interested in going with me? "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Sure. However, I will only watch our national team's matches. I hope they can achieve good results. Hubby, do you plan to bid for the broadcasting rights of the World Cup? This is a golden age for hundreds of millions of fans around the world. It will last for a long time. It is much better than the Grammy Awards. "
Xiao Yunhai bought the broadcasting rights of the Grammy Awards in Hua Xia for 50 million US dollars. Until today, it had brought him 120 million US dollars in profit. It could be said that it was very good.
However, compared to the advertising fees of the World Cup, which could easily reach tens of billions of US dollars, it was obviously dwarfed.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I am prepared to buy it at all costs. Even if I lose money, I will do it. In June, our Yunqing TV Station will be able to cover the whole world. For a TV station that is not famous yet, the World Cup is the best opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Then you have to prepare well. I estimate that the competition will be very cruel. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "There is no need to prepare. The 110 billion US dollars that Time Warner bought our Paramount Amusement Park is enough for us to use. Now, we are rich. "
Zhao Wanqing hooked her arms around Xiao Yunhai's neck and said charmingly, "Hubby, I feel so happy."
Xiao Yunhai looked at Zhao Wanqing, whose eyes were watery. He suddenly hugged her and said, "I will make you happier now."
The room was filled with spring.
The next day, Xiao Yunhai took a plane and flew back to Hua Xia alone.
Originally, he wanted to bring the children back with him. However, the two children seemed to like it very much. They played on the grass every day and giggled non-stop. Therefore, he did not force them.
He first went to his grandfather's place.
At this time, the land for the martial arts school and the relevant procedures had been approved. Yu's Real Estate Company designed the school according to Chen Jiahong's instructions. Xiao Yunhai looked at it and felt that it was very good.
Under Chen Zhan's management, Yunqing TV Station was on the right track. Some of the TV station's elites were recruited with high salaries. Although the various programs did not change much, the ratings had improved.
During dinner, Chen Zhan said, "Yunhai, we don't have any good programs now. Can you bring the programs that are being broadcast by Marvel TV Station? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I have already asked someone to do that. There should be no problem with English dialogue and Chinese subtitles. However, one of them is a suspense film. The plot is a bit scary. I don't know if the film and television bureau will approve it. "
Chen Zhan smiled and said, "It seems that you haven't watched TV series for a long time. Let me tell you, with the arrival of foreign TV stations, the film and television bureau's censorship department has relaxed the standards. As long as there are no particularly violent or pornographic scenes, there should be no problem. Foreign suspense films have always been very popular with Hua Xia's audience. Especially when they are broadcast late at night, the ratings are very high. "
When Xiao Yunhai heard that, he chuckled and said, "Our Hua Xia's audience is looking for excitement."
Chen Zhan said, "Maybe. Also, how are you going to deal with those variety shows of yours? Have you thought of handing them over to our Yunqing TV Station? "
Xiao Yunhai said nonchalantly, "I will do whatever you say. After all, the copyrights are in my hands."
Chen Zhan thought for a while and said, "'The Voice of Hua Xia' and 'Running Man' have already been broadcast for several seasons. There is no point in taking them back. However, we must take back 'Ten Million Billionaire' because it still has a lot of potential. "
This year's fourth season of "The Voice of Hua Xia" had suffered a huge drop in the ratings after the impact of "A Night of Singers." It went from 10% previously to 3% now.
Although the grassroots singers in the show were very good and their voices were very unique, compared to "A Night of Singers."
Compared to those singers who had almost perfected their singing skills, the gap was still very big.
Television shows were like that. When there was a comparison, there would be damage.
After getting used to a top-notch and luxurious music feast like "A Night of Singers," when they saw the performances of those grassroots singers, they immediately felt very uncomfortable. Naturally, the ratings dropped as well.
After the fourth season of "The Voice of Hua Xia" ended, Xiao Yunhai's profits were only 300 million Hua Xia dollars. This was also thanks to the fact that the online videos sold well. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have gotten 300 million. The results were far worse than the previous three seasons.
There was also "The Running Man," which was facing an equally serious problem. As of today, they had already filmed three seasons. Perhaps because the audience of Hua Xia was getting tired of it, the ratings had also dropped tremendously. The highest ratings were not even 5%, and it only brought in 200 million profits for Xiao Yunhai.
The potential of these two shows was almost completely dug out, so Chen Zhan naturally didn't think highly of them.
But "Ten Million Billionaire" was different. Perhaps because of the stimulation of the 10 million Hua Xia dollars, the second season's ratings were even more popular than the first season. Even if foreign television stations were to enter the show on a large scale, they still couldn't stop its super high ratings. It had the highest ratings among the variety shows of Hua Xia.
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Alright, the third season of 'Ten Million Billionaire' will be recorded by our Yunqing TV Station. Uncle, I want to do another singing variety show. "
"Singing again?" Chen Zhan was stunned and said, "Yunhai, ever since 'The Voice of Hua Xia' and 'A Night of Singers' came out of nowhere, be it talent shows or professional singing shows, they have all been overshadowed. If you want to stand out, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Uncle, the audience of these two shows are focused on the singing, but my show's focus is on the singers."
"What do you mean?"
"I want to invite some of the better singers from the film and television industry to participate in the show. The live audience will give a score, and the top three scorers will be able to enter the PK section. One singer will be selected for the final round in each episode, and a new singer will be added in for the second episode. If an actor doesn't enter the PK section for three consecutive episodes, they will be eliminated immediately. Do you think it'll work? "
The show that Xiao Yunhai was talking about was "King of Crossover Singers," which had very high ratings in his previous life. It only removed the professional judging part and added some other rules.
