Chapter 22 Star Travel, Star God!
Chapter 22: Thousand Stars Journey, Star God!
The platform needs to take a commission in addition to its own profit.
Maintenance costs are also a big part of the reason.
The larger the platform, the greater the maintenance cost will be. For example, the annual maintenance cost of mechanical games is an extremely huge price.
A normal 50-50 split will definitely make a profit, but a higher 64-50 split will make less profit, like the 73-30 ratio just mentioned.
Basically, you can only earn enough to cover the cost, and the profit is very small.
The mechanical platform is also willing to invest resources in promotion, even exchanging five million for a 5% stake.
It seems that Starry Sky Railway is extremely popular and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a hit. Who knows if there will be any problems later?
Between the hope of making money in the future and the actual money in hand now, it is obviously more important.
"You're going to invest five million in us? That's quite courageous."
Seeing what the company was thinking, Yunqiong muttered to himself.
Being able to reach the position of general manager, he must not be short of money with so many big projects on hand, but having money and being willing to invest are two different things.
The opening offer was five million, which proved that the other party believed in the potential of the game.
"Should we promise each other?"
Liuying didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Yes, 5% of the shares won't have any impact on our studio. Why not take the money?"
"But the price needs to be changed to eight million. If you agree, sign the contract."
The other party seemed to be paying close attention to them, and the message received a response quickly.
The deal is worth eight million and the funds will be transferred soon.
Looking at the chat records, Liuying felt like everything was just a dream.
It was clear that not long ago they were a small studio that was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to rely on support to start again.
How could it be so quick that, not only did the game become popular and frequently logged in, but eight million investment was received before it was even released?
If the boss hadn't been right next to her, she would have thought someone had been replaced.
"You didn't even bargain for eight million? You're worthy of being a company member."
Yun Qiong shook his head and didn't think much about it.
5% really doesn't have much impact on the studio, and funds are also necessary for the initial development of the game.
This is a good deal for both parties.
After resolving the game release issues, production was in full swing over the next few days.
The company was very efficient and the funds were transferred to us the next day, a full four million yuan.
The remaining part will be received after a few days, when the equity is officially acquired.
The mechanical platform has also prepared an exclusive recommendation spot for the game, just waiting for the official version to be released.
In order to celebrate and to let everyone rest after working hard for several days, Yunqiong specially gave everyone a day off.
The continuous fatigue made Yunqiong sleep for a whole day in the company, and when he woke up...
Everyone is refreshed and back to work.
"Boss, you woke up. This time it was a success!"
When he opened his eyes, Yunqiong heard Liuying's somewhat excited voice.
Yunqiong was so frightened that he shuddered, and then he realized that she was talking about the game process.
"With the help of Bronya and the newcomers, the Beloberg arc will be finished this month at the earliest!"
After waking up for a few minutes and going out, I saw a few more figures in the work area.
Natasha has made appropriate divisions for them based on their specialties.
"Brother, Clara's voice and motion capture are ready. Clara will be very important in the game!"
With the addition of new people, Mihoyo has become much more lively.
Patting Clara's little head, Yunqiong smiled and said, "When the time comes, Clara will protect many people."
The children's cheerful laughter is right beside my ears.
"Hehe, I am Lord Dark Hook, Julian, Alina, you are my generals!"
"Great! Lord Hook is invincible!"
"The Mole Party is unrivaled!"
Passing by the motion capture room, Danheng, Xier and Jeppard were customizing characters for the children.
Continue forward, the room with the musical notes written on it has a closed door.
Standing in front of the door, you can occasionally hear Celine's singing and some exciting guitar sounds coming from it. Just as the door was opened, Shiluwa, with her hair dishevelled, looked like she had experienced a war, and her eyes lit up when she saw Yunqiong.
"Boss! You finally woke up, hurry up, I just composed a battle song, but no one can sing it with that feeling."
"When I sang "Setting Out on a Journey" before, I knew that this song was for you, come on!"
The music composition has always been the responsibility of Shiluwa, with help from Celine and others.
He believes the soundtrack will only get better.
But now is not the time to indulge in the charm of music.
Wait a minute, Yunqiong came to the purple-haired woman's work station and said, "Kafka, is the new PV synthesized?"
Kafka's eyes were as gentle as warm water: "It's been ready for a long time, do you want to release it now?"
After checking, there are no problems. It was an excellent job.
“It’s ready to be released.”
Logging into the official account backstage, Kafka smiled and said, "The players will definitely go crazy."
The new pv is nothing else but about the star gods.
As the most mysterious and powerful beings in the universe, they naturally attract a lot of attention, and there seem to be many of them in the test version.
The only ones who actually saw it were the one who destroyed Nanook and the two who simulated the universe.
With so much news released at once this time, how could players not be looking forward to it?
To arrange the subsequent work, Shiluwa, who followed, couldn't wait any longer.
"I believe Kafka will take care of the rest. Don't worry about it, boss. Musical inspiration is fleeting!"
"Yeah, that's it. Okay, just follow this direction from now on."
"Let's go, we've been wasting a lot of time on this song!"
"Okay, okay, what on earth could make you so excited, Xiluwa?"
"Of course it's a rock song. I'm going to temporarily name it, 'Wildfire'!"
"Uh-huh?"
Following Shiluwa to the recording studio, it was quick.
The passionate singing echoed throughout the office building.
. . . . . .
In a rental house.
Gui Naifen is a game anchor, famous on the Piliyin platform for her live performances.
Different from ordinary game anchors, her activities are not only in the game, but also outside the game.
Just like now, various extremely difficult and tough moves are shown in front of the camera.
"Hey! Ha! Hoo!"
"Okay, Xiao Guizi's live broadcast today has come to an end. See you all tomorrow."
From doing the splits to swallowing a sword, I'm just about to end the live show.
Suddenly a window pops up.
[Thousand Stars Journey PV: "A Collection of Fables about the Starry Sky, Part One"]
"Huh? An advertisement? How come it appears in the virtual warehouse?"
I wanted to close it, but my body, which had just finished its work, was a little unresponsive, so I clicked to play.
In an instant, Gui Naifen felt that the sky suddenly darkened, and the virtual warehouse became so dark that she could not see her fingers.
"Let's make an exchange, an exchange of memories."
I was just about to scold today's advertisers for being so disgusting and getting involved in everything.
The picture suddenly changed, and the scene gradually emerged from the haziness.
With a blue theme, she saw a broken planet in pieces.
That was not the main subject of the video. Looking to the right, Gui Naifen saw a scene that she would never forget.
Meteorites gathered into a sea, surrounding a mysterious shining object in the middle.
A layer of silk-like substance wrapped around it, so long that no one knew how far it was.
Mysterious! Vast! Beautiful! Dangerous!
"What the hell is this? Is this still Blue Star?"
"The universe? A planet? What the hell!!"
