Chapter 493 491. The boss won’t lay us off, right?

Imperial capital.

Bomi Building.

Ghost Blowing Light Project Team.

When the beauty Liu Pei walked to the workstation of the main planner Cheng Xinghua, he found that Cheng Xinghua was frowning and thinking about something.

Cheng Xinghua has been in a very low mood recently, and he is completely different from his state of being injected with chicken blood a month ago.

The main reason is also very simple, because the results of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Jingjue Ancient City" have not been very good after it was launched.

In other words, based on Bomi's own internal judgment standards, Ghost Blowing Light, as the company's star project in 2009, only achieved a total sales result of more than 800,000 yuan, which is already terrible.

Nothing worse than this result.

Oh no, if it is less than 800,000, it will make people unable to sleep.

This is a star product.

You should know that the product used as an analogy within the company is the foreign "Tomb Raider" series. Last year's Tomb Raider 8 achieved sales results worldwide were more than 4 million copies, and now it does not even have 1/5 of others.

What are the faces facing the elders and brothers of the company, and what are the faces facing Mr. Cao’s diligent expectations?

Cheng Xinghua covered his face in pain, and did not notice Liu Pei who was gradually approaching him. He was so depressed that he was dying.

Fortunately, my colleagues around me didn't care much about the matter here, and everyone was busy with their own things.

At the beginning, everyone had high hopes for this product, including choosing this IP, which was carefully considered and decided by the boss himself, and a special pioneer studio group was specially established for this project, which was of milestone significance.

If it is successful, you can successfully explore a very complete industrial chain for other projects of the company.

That is, from the novel author to IP development, then to the game linkage, and then it is made into movies and TV series...

The entire ecosystem was established.

Whether it is the novel industry that is the source of creativity, or the games and films that can be adapted through it, you can perfectly find your own value.

It is conceivable how important the mission of the game Ghost Blows Out the Light is.

It’s so important that Cheng Xinghua himself feels that this thing cannot fail at all.

pity……

Now there is no need to be important, only heavy left.

Fark!

The boss planned the Bright Avenue is gone.

The IP value is gone.

The ecological chain of the film and television game cultural circle is gone.

As the project leader and main planner, Cheng Xinghua now feels the burden on his shoulders that makes him breathless. He will suddenly wake up in his dreams at night, and even have mild ventricular fibrillation. He is worried every day and has no way to rest well.

It has been two weeks since the project was launched, and the approximate results can be seen. With Bomi's publicity channels and the vast user group, there is no such thing as suddenly coming back to life two months later.

The previous few days were the peak period for game sales, and it was basically settled in two weeks, and it would probably not be able to pass the 1 million mark in the future.

From the Shanhai Jing series to the Assassin's Soul series, to the Mecha series, which one is a product with sales of millions?

Cheng Xinghua only has two words in his heart—

Cool.

If this product is placed in other small companies, it is worth showing off. After all, it has sales of more than 800,000 yuan worldwide, with a total turnover of nearly 40 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 330 million yuan in Soft Girl Coins.

If it were any small company, small projects would be proud of.

I guess there are still many people who want to scold Cheng Xinghua for being shameless and don’t understand the sufferings of other small companies.

but!

Cheng Xinghua is not good because he is in Bomi Company, and Bomi Company's less than 1 million is unqualified.

Of course, this standard was only set by Cheng Xinghua himself, and the company does not have relevant rigid standards.

But that's what he thought in his heart.

The positioning of Ghost Blowing Light in the company is like the Shanhai Jing series, which is a pioneering work of a new category and is also a star-level product of the company.

At the beginning, he kept saying that he would give the project team a bloody blow. If the sales volume of this product was less than 1 million, he would run upside down and run naked. He didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

Well……

Cheng Xinghua tilted his head in discomfort, and he had the desire to die.

Think about it, with a 330 million yuan turnover, the platform and channel must be divided at least half.

Yes, although the AIR game platform is its own platform, it is fair, at most it is less divided by its own game, but it still needs to be collected in the end. After all, the AIR game platform is an independent department and not a joint service department. The game platform itself must make profits and support employees.

It's just a bit unfair and jealous.

Think about it, we have been working hard for several years and finally we have to be cut by the platform. Then the platform only needs to absorb more games continuously to enjoy the continuous sharing, which is so comfortable.

Why is this what people are like?

As the main pillar of the game, Bomi Company has long since relied on the company's own game development. The AIR game platform's annual revenue accounts for about half of the company's game revenue.

It is conceivable how terrible the profits of this platform are.

...

Yes, the platform is divided into part of the company, and the company is open 55. The Ghost Blows Light project is the boss's own son, so it can open 37. The platform gives the studio some concessions.

After that, daily maintenance overhead will be eliminated.

The investment cost of the Ghost Blows Out the Light project is already 150 million yuan, and the R&D cost itself is nearly 60 million yuan, and most of it is used for publicity.

Now the marketing costs of games are increasing year by year. Global tops like Ghost Blowing Lights, advertising is not only available at home, but also abroad. These costs are quite high.

In addition, there are dubbing, translation, and UI adaptation...

The total cost was only 150 million, which is not much.

The main reason is that the Big Head Art in the research and development is introductory by oneself, and the number of revisions in the middle is not very large. Otherwise, the cost of the project Ghost Blows Out the Light would have to be at least 300 million.

According to the main beauty Liu Pei and the boss of the company's art department, if it weren't for the art students' optimism about this project and thought that the IP of Ghost Blowing Light could withdraw the value of art and everyone was willing to work overtime for it, what would it be like now?

After doing it once, Liu Pei said that he would not want to come again in the next few years.

But no matter how you say, if you really let her continue to do the Ghost Blowing Light Series, she must be as energetic as if she was injected with chicken blood.

The students in the art group have read the Ghost Blowing Lights novel several times. After the project was launched, they were the ones who urged the sequel to the most. Liu Pei also discussed with several arts where to go for the field inspection at the next stop.

It seems that Yunnan is good, with beautiful scenery, and it is not as tiring as before when I went to Xinjiang and Tibet.

...

pity……

It is unknown whether there is still a sequel.

Cheng Xinghua also had a headache about this, and the more important thing is that he didn't know how to report to the above. The relevant PPT has been delayed for several days and has not been completed.

Really shameless.

I originally wanted to see if there were any new changes in the past few days. If the data could become better, he would have a little confidence to strive for the development of the future sequel to the Ghost Blows Out the Light.

Now it looks like it's getting colder day by day, and there's basically no chance.

"XH, are our data not very good?" Liu Pei asked in a low voice.

This scared Cheng Xinghua. He was too intoxicated before and did not realize when Liu Pei came here.

Fortunately, his position was in the corner of the planning team, and there were not many people around him.

Cheng Xinghua quickly raised his finger and made a gesture of silence.

"Shh, this is a company secret, and only a few people have the authority to view it."

Cheng Xinghua said to Liu Pei vigilantly.

The main beauty Liu Pei has a tall man of 175. He used to be fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged. Since he went to Xinjiang and Tibet once the year before, he has only long-legged left.

"We don't have permission to view the accurate data, but we can probably estimate it."

Liu Pei came over and put a small box of strawberries on Cheng Xinghua's table.

"And depending on your appearance, you can think of the general data."

"And..." Liu Pei frowned and looked angry at Cheng Xinghua, "Hmph, as the main beauty of the project, I should also have the right to know the specific data, right?"

"Well……"

Cheng Xinghua sighed, then looked around vigilantly, and said to Liu Pei, "Come here to see, but you must not leak the data, otherwise I will be held accountable.

Everyone is a person who has signed a confidentiality agreement, don’t make things difficult for me.”

"Okay, okay."

Liu Pei laughed happily.
