Chapter 815 - Chapter 806 Ori, You're in Menopause

After arriving at the Washimine headquarters building, Nanaya first went to the film's public relations department.

The box office results of the midnight show of "Prologue" have been announced. How to use this solid result to attract more audiences is the next most important task for the publicity and promotion department of Washimine Entertainment.

There is no need for Nanaya to explain the specific operation procedures. The publicity and promotion department of Washimine Entertainment has long been very familiar with this publicity process.

Nanaya encourages them to keep up the good work as a boss, and uses promotion and salary increase as bait to lure them to work hard.

When Nanaya finished his speech at the publicity department and came to his office, he found someone was already waiting for him.

"Senior!"

Ori came up angrily.

"Today is such an important day and you actually sleep in!"

Ori originally wanted to reach out and twist his senior brother's ear, but when he thought of other people in the room, he stopped his action.

"I'm not late." Nanaya said casually.

Ori twitched the sides of his nose and seemed even angrier.

"You should arrive at the company half an hour earlier! We need to confirm the relevant matters again!" Ori snorted coldly.

"We have already confirmed this many times before. It's fine."

Nanaya sat down at his seat and took out the materials he had prepared from the drawer.

"That..."

Standing in the corner, Yakumo Mitama asked fearfully, "What happened to Ryougi-san?"

Nanaya rolled his eyes: "It's an old problem. People in menopause are like this."

Bang!

Ori slammed the stack of documents in his hands heavily on the table.

"Senior, please say it again." Ori raised his fist and threatened with a dark look on his face.

"Men also go through menopause." Nanaya said calmly, holding his chin with both hands, "Gender discrimination is wrong!"

"I'm only in my 30s! What the hell is menopause?!"

Ori turned into a ferocious beast, roaring at Nanaya with bared fangs and claws.

Yakumo Mitama said in admiration: "So it turns out that Ryougi-san will enter menopause at the age of 30... That's amazing."

Ori looked at Yakumo Midu for a long time with an awkward expression, and then said: "Yakumo, you are definitely a black-bellied person."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Yakumo smiled and bowed to Ori.

"I'm not praising you... Never mind."

Ori waved his hands, he was tired of Yakumo's disturbance.

"Is everything OK with the meeting later?"

Ori asked a little worriedly.

Today is the day of the [See Moon] board of directors, and the topic of discussion is naturally about the game project content of FGO.

After several changes in equity, Nanaya is still the major shareholder of [See Moon] and has great say.

But as the representative of the collective interests of the new six major Hollywood groups, [See Moon] still needs the approval of the shareholders' meeting on some major matters.

Major decisions like the establishment of the FGO game project naturally need to be discussed at the shareholders' meeting and agreed upon by the majority.

Nanaya is happy to see this phenomenon.

In the long run, the [See Moon] board of directors may become a new organization similar to the MPAA, becoming a platform for interest negotiation among the six major Hollywood studios.

As for what benefits this would bring...

Although a lot of shares have been distributed, Nanaya and Washimine are still the largest shareholders of [See Moon].

Compared to his status as a newcomer in the MPAA, [See Moon] is Washimine's home turf.

"How could there be a problem?"

Nanaya answered confidently: "The example of Magic Record is there, isn't it good to give them money?"

"Besides, the opening performance of 'Prologue' is so good. If we don't strike while the iron is hot now, when will we wait?" Having said that, Nanaya shrugged his shoulders comfortably.

Ori thought about it and he really had nothing to say.

This is indeed the case.

At the subsequent meeting, Nanaya just proposed the FGO plan, and other shareholder representatives of [See Moon] readily agreed to the plan.

The game "Magic Record" has been operating for more than half a year since its launch.

During this period, the game provided [See Moon] Entertainment with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every month.

Especially in December and January, with the help of the two holiday limited card pools [Saint Tomoe Mami] and [Kimono Madoka].

The amount of in-game spending in those two months directly exceeded $150 million, and even approached $200 million.

[See Moon] has already made a lot of profit from "Magical Record", and now Nanaya Kiryu wants to create a new game based on the Fate IP, and these six representatives naturally agree.

But there is room for discussion on the details.

In fact, several other companies were extremely jealous of the commercial success of "Magic Record".

You know, there are not many movies with a global box office of over 100 million US dollars a year, but "Magic Record" can earn 100 million US dollars every month.

It would be weird if this doesn't make these businessmen envious and jealous.

Although the profit of a movie does not only depend on the box office, the monthly turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars of "Magic Record" does not mean profit.

However, these guys have already experienced firsthand the charm of mobile games in terms of making money quickly.

The bosses of Hollywood film companies are typical businessmen. For them, as long as the money they make is legal, they don't care where the money comes from.

In fact, after the success of "Magic Record", some of the Big Six tried to launch similar projects to seize the market.

Following the footsteps of successful people has always been the norm in the Hollywood circle.

There is no such thing as shameful plagiarism. After all, each of the Big Six is a smart person and will never leave any legal handle.

Warner launched the HP series of mobile games right after "Magic Record", and Paramount created the Transformers mobile game.

As for Disney, it is trying to create its own mobile game using its own animated characters.

Sony also brought out its most beloved godson, Spider-Man, and tried to create a Spider-Man universe mobile game.

Unfortunately, the project was aborted halfway through.

Because Sony has too few copyrighted characters in its hands, it is simply unable to fully fill a game that needs to be put online for operation.

But Marvel refused to lend the copyright to the other party no matter what.

Marvel no longer lacks money after getting close to Washimine.

In that case, why should I lend the copyright to you, Sony? Can't I just make my own Marvel Universe mobile game?

Your Spider-Man is quite famous, but my Mr. Stark is still the father of your spider son.

Spider-Man is indeed Marvel's most popular IP, but that was in the past.

Up to now, The Avengers is the real leader of Marvel film and television IP.

No matter how awesome Spider-Man is, it is a thing of the past.

Coupled with the return of the copyrights of "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four", Marvel now has no shortage of money and character copyrights.

Naturally, they look down on the cooperation offered by Sony.

Except for the mobile game project that Sony canceled, other companies have launched their own film and television IP mobile games.

However, the performance and commercial benefits of these works were not ideal.

On the one hand, these mobile games are very expensive to produce.

For example, Warner's HP mobile game directly used the images of real-life actors from the movie in order to expand the recognition of the characters.

This has invisibly increased the cost of the game by a considerable amount.

Not to mention that many of these actors are very concerned about their image rights and are unwilling to authorize them.

Disney games are even worse. Even though kids love Disney characters, they have to spend dozens or even hundreds of dollars to draw a Mickey Mouse paper figure.

This kind of behavior is still unacceptable for children.

Even if children can accept it, adults will definitely not agree.

In fact, the main group of people who spend money on mobile games are young people, and these people are long past the age of Disney fans.

It's not that these people don't like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, but with the money they would rather buy Iron Man's action figures or draw the limited edition card of Homura Akemi with long black hair.

Isn't that pair of alluring black stockings legs attractive?

Coupled with various other minor problems, the revenue of these mobile games is ultimately not as good as that of "Magic Record".

This made six major organizations depressed, but he also understood one thing: pay-to-win mobile games seem to make money, but it is really difficult to do well.

In fact, if you really want to explore it on your own, with the six major abilities, you will definitely be able to come up with a complete mobile game plan after three to five years of thinking about it.

Or you can simply package the IP and let an experienced mobile game company do it, and just take a share of the profits.

But how can you enjoy eating by yourself if you don't pay for it?

So after Nanaya proposed the FGO project, representatives from the six major organizations all realized that this was an opportunity.

An opportunity to learn how to run a mobile game.

No one took it seriously when "Magic Record" was being developed before. Now that the overall framework has been completely built, they sent people to learn it, but what they learned was limited.

But this time FGO is different.

You can start from the framework design to fully understand how FGO is made.

This is a rare opportunity.

So at the meeting, the representative of Warner directly proposed: "Director Kiryu, there is no problem with you setting up this project, but I hope that the team can have enough supervision. After all, Ms. Yakumo is too young, and I doubt she is qualified for this position. Fate is our [See Moon] trump card IP."

Nanaya played with the pen in his hand, a smile flashing across his face.

When did Fate become [See Moon]?

The copyright of Fate is currently in the hands of Washimine, while the creative rights are in the hands of [Erque Studio].

No matter how you look at it, it has no direct connection with [See Moon].

However, the directors of [See Moon] were discussing this proposal, and they all seemed to think it was a very good one.

"That's a good idea."

"Indeed... the project costs so much, there should be dedicated personnel to supervise it."

[This group of people...]

Nanaya grinned, he didn't know whether these people had taken the wrong medicine.

Fortunately, Shion guessed the reason why these people were making a fuss, and she secretly slipped a small note to Nanaya.

After reading this, a hint of disdain flashed in Nanaya's eyes. He knew how to deal with this group of people.

Since six major organizations wants to learn skills, then learn them well.

As long as these people ensure that the game channel is on [See Moon]'s side, no matter how much money you can make, just pay me protection money!
