Chapter 1141: Primordial About to be Released
"Why can I make games and movies achieve such effects? Of course, it's because I have the Unreal Engine, or more accurately, Unreal Engine 2," Miss Luo Quan said eloquently in the live broadcast room, facing the fans' inquiries.
When the first generation of Unreal Engine was born, it was actually only slightly ahead of other engines in the industry.
It could be called excellent, but it was far from reaching the level of dimensional reduction strikes.
But after she took the Unreal Engine to Huanyu for a round, this thing received huge upgrades from every byte, and the overall architecture was also very different from before. It is no exaggeration to say it is two engines.
Now the company's old games are still being produced and updated using the Unreal Engine, while new games and new movies have all been replaced with Unreal Engine 2.
And because it is almost a brand new product, the copyright of Unreal Engine 2 is in her hands.
Before this, it wasn't that companies outside didn't think about coming to her to poach people.
But very few people were poached, because the salary given by Springwater Entertainment has always been at the top level in the industry, with good benefits, a very good working environment, and almost every work is creating history. Most people would not want to leave.
Of course, those employees with great ambitions who longed to cross classes were still attracted by the high officials and generous salaries of other big factories.
Being a general manager is definitely more comfortable than being a small employee. Everyone understands the truth of "better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."
However, Miss Luo Quan's company actually doesn't care whether employees are the head of a chicken or the tail of a phoenix, because she is the head of the phoenix, and the rest of the people only need to complete the tasks assigned according to her will.
Regarding creativity, she can solve 99%, and for the remaining 1%, everyone can brainstorm and solve it.
So the poaching of other big factories is of no use. After all, the most powerful engine—Unreal Engine 2—cannot be poached, and the most powerful talent—Miss Luo Quan—cannot be poached either.
As for the stay or leave of other people in the company, Miss Luo Quan has always upheld the principle of gathering and dispersing well.
You are welcome if you want to come, and you can leave if you don't want to. There will be no deduction in salary, so as not to spread the word and ruin the reputation of industry conscience that she has worked so hard to establish.
Of course, it is precisely because there is no non-compete clause here that many young people who are just starting out choose to come here to gild, working for a month or two and then jumping to other factories to seek higher salaries.
If it were just an individual case, it would be fine. The key is that in the past year, many graduates have regarded this method as a wealth code, and other big factories really eat this set.
In order to avoid frequent changes of employees in important positions, Miss Luo Quan adjusted the salary and benefits of employees.
Originally, the salary of programmers at Springwater Entertainment was slightly higher than that of big factories in the industry. After the benefits were higher, it would be about 10% lower than big factories in the industry.
However, as long as you work for a full year, you will be given a very high newcomer bonus, making up for this gap, and then rewarding an additional 10%.
It is equivalent to not much difference from the treatment of those old employees, but you must work for a full year to get it.
The newcomer bonus is cancelled in the second year, but you will get the salary increase that only old employees can enjoy. At this time, the monthly salary will exceed those big factories and be at the leading level in the industry.
In this way, although it seems that there is not much difference from the salary given by the old contract, at least it makes those who want to come to rub seniority have a relatively high jumping cost.
If you can't do it for a year, you will lose a lot of bonuses.
If you jump ship after a year, you lose the opportunity for a salary increase.
Unless you encounter a particularly good invitation, these newcomers should not resign easily anymore.
Of course, Miss Luo Quan is not very dare to say this kind of thing in front of the fans in the live broadcast room.
Because it sounds like she is a capitalist who is single-mindedly seeking profit, racking her brains to exploit employees, and coming up with such a mentally retarded contract that jumps back and forth, which is punishable!
In fact, she just simply doesn't want these employees to run away after working for a month or two. If she let them sign a non-compete contract, she would probably be scolded even worse, so she used such a method to impose soft constraints on new employees.
But the salary given by the company is already the highest level. Miss Luo Quan herself doesn't feel that she has let down her own employees anywhere.
Of course, the angle from which netizens think about problems will definitely not be the same as hers.
After all, she is the boss, and others are basically working people.
They only saw that in order to suppress wages, she came up with a disgusting system similar to Pinduoduo's "cut one knife," which must be worked for a year to get the bonus, and nothing will be left if you jump ship halfway. It is really trying to make money from working people.
If fans dare to speak for her, the consequences will be serious, and they will be directly labeled as "empathizing with capitalists" for criticism.
It was also foreseen that such a result would occur, so Miss Luo Quan generally does not talk about things in the company, especially things related to money.
Once it is said, there will always be people shouting for her to hang on a street lamp, and it is the kind that doesn't distinguish between right and wrong.
By comparison, Gao Liang's showing off wealth has no problems at all.
It is probably that netizens knew Gao Liang had a prominent family background and was a rich young master the first time they saw him.
Because he was born rich and had a good life, it doesn't matter how he uses it. Everyone just complained jealously and sighed at the injustice of fate.
But Miss Luo Quan is different.
Many netizens first saw her in that cramped and old rental house in Tokyo. They witnessed with their own eyes how a poor ghost became a billionaire.
This kind of jealousy is completely different from the level that appeared on Gao Liang.
There is a good saying: afraid that brothers will live a hard life, and afraid that brothers will drive a Land Rover. This is exactly this kind of psychology.
So in order to avoid making "brothers" unbalanced, Miss Luo Quan generally rarely shows off wealth like Gao Liang, and most of the content during live broadcasts is showing off wealth.
Just like now, what she is showing off in the live broadcast room is the company's technological power, showing off how powerful the Unreal Engine 2 is.
"And for the sake of plot coherence, this time we will finish filming the opening of the sky and the Lich Catastrophe together. In this way, the first complete chapter of Primordial is over."
Miss Luo Quan said, and opened her account book, clicked the mouse lightly and said: "Facts have proven that sometimes filming blockbusters really requires very large investments. The consumption in the actor and clothing, makeup and props area is indeed quite large.
Just filming two movies, it has already cost more than 400 million now.
After the two are finished and the publicity before the release is calculated, it is a solid cost of 1 billion. In this case, the total box office must be over 4 billion to break even. Calculated, one movie needs 2 billion box office."
Calculating to here, Miss Luo Quan took a breath: "I didn't expect that the stall has been laid out so big, 4 billion to break even. It seems that a total of only three movies reached 3.5 billion this year."
Fans have watched Miss Luo Quan's live broadcast for too long, and they seem to be no longer so sensitive to this little money:
"Isn't this box office just a talk for you? Listen to the applause."
"In the past, 4,000 yuan was a huge sum for me. Now 4 billion doesn't even stir up half a sound. I don't know if I'm floating, or if I've learned too much in Miss Luo Quan's live broadcast room."
"Indeed, Luo Bao and I are doing business of several hundred million every day? (Refers to the popularity of the live broadcast room)"
"Do you think it's not driving just because you add a note? Come here, fork it out for me!"
"Prime Minister, I also want to drive."
"Speaking of which, the first part of Primordial is released on National Day, so the second part is the Spring Festival file?"
"I feel that if the special effects of the first part are explosive, the second part can break the domestic record."
"Be bolder, break the foreign box office record too. Primordial is super popular abroad now."
"It's funny to talk about this. After Primordial became popular, South Korea immediately jumped out and said that this was adapted from their mythology, because South Korean history has 7,000 years, and we only have 5,000 years, so it is obviously that we copied them."
"On shamelessness, it has to be Bangzi."
"A small place with less than 100 years of founding, I don't know where the courage comes from."
"So as soon as this statement in South Korea spread, it became a joke on the foreign internet again."
"Haha, deserve it!"
………………
Regarding South Korea, Miss Luo Quan has also heard of it.
Because when Gao Liang moved Primordial mythology abroad, he didn't think about applying for copyright, which almost gave some people with ulterior motives an opportunity.
Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan reacted quickly and applied for copyright for most of the iconic characters in Primordial at the first time, including "Classic of Mountains and Seas," "Journey to the West," and other works.
When it wasn't popular, these intellectual property rights were ignored.
But if it becomes popular, it is immediately a masterless golden mountain and silver mountain.
You don't occupy it, wait until others occupy it, and then turn around and ask you, the owner of the golden mountain, for the right to use it.
Foreign capital has done a lot of such disgusting things in recent years.
And the act of taking culture as one's own, South Korea is even more notorious as a thief!
In short, the copyright has been applied for, and the claws of those who covet Primordial mythology have been beaten back for the time being.
"By the way, fans, I haven't been online for more than ten days. How is your experience in the fantasy world?" Miss Luo Quan remembered this next-generation masterpiece that she had almost forgotten, and asked curiously.
"Everything is good, but it takes too much time. 24 hours a day is not enough to play!"
"Thinking that it will close in half a month, I feel like I have anxiety."
"I hammered the local tyrant by technology, can you believe it?"
"The game experience of civilians and local tyrants is quite good. Liver emperors have the happiness of liver emperors, and krypton gold has the happiness of krypton gold."
"The only drawback is that the game NPC is too smart and can't be fooled at all. Is this really AI? I feel like I'm facing a real person."
"The core gameplay is a little less. Except for upgrading, it is still upgrading. I rarely encounter tasks that need to fight in groups. It's too single-player and boring."
………………
Fans didn't praise or black, and said the advantages and disadvantages of this game one after another.
Miss Luo Quan skipped the advantages directly, looked at the disadvantages raised by netizens, and said with a smile: "Because it is an internal test, the online gameplay has not been unlocked.
After the public test, you will know how much this game needs a team. Not only can you form a team to fight Boss, but you can also launch a force war of thousands of people. The main thing is a real war!"
"If it's really like this, it's too exciting."
Now, there is almost no sound of complaining in the barrage of fans.
Because except for the lack of online content, there are almost no other shortcomings in the fantasy world at present.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if it changed from point card payment to free play.
However, because the game neither sells appearances nor sells card draws, if point card payment is also exempted, it is really like doing charity.
Moreover, the point card fee for this game is really not high, and as long as you are a little liver, you can completely rely on the gold coins obtained in the game to buy point cards.
It is equivalent to only needing to pay for one or two months of monthly card money, and you can continue to play, and even if you play for a long time, you can make money inside.
Therefore, for the majority of free-to-play gamers, there isn't much difference between this game and a free one.
As for the main income of the game, of course, it comes from those local tyrant players who want to advance quickly.
Many weapons, job transfer props, and skill books in this game are randomly dropped. If civilians want to get a set of god equipment and god skills by themselves, they have to save gold coins for a long time.
Local tyrants will certainly not choose to wait bitterly, and they will naturally be moved by superpowers.
So the difficulty of this kind of online game lies here. You must make civilian players play cool, and make local tyrant players even cooler, but you cannot make civilian players feel boring.
Fortunately, the fantasy world is well balanced in this regard. Local tyrant players can get a better game experience by krypton gold, and civilian players can get the opportunity to defeat local tyrants by technology, liver degree, or European spirit.
This achieves a balance that no one will feel unfair.
You have krypton gold, I have piano hands or European emperor bloodline, everyone is just relying on their own skills.
But if you don't want to krypton gold, you are not European enough, you don't have technology, and you don't want to liver, and finally you want to defeat other players.
That's a bit of a problem with the brain.
Fantasy World is an online game, not a casual game. Casual players should honestly look at the scenery and fish in the game. This gameplay is also very interesting.
According to the current questionnaire, the official opening of the fantasy world is equivalent to becoming a hit, with a retention rate of up to 95%, which is even more terrifying than World of Warcraft.
And compared to the hard-core painting style of Warcraft, the more exquisite, beautiful and dreamy painting style of the fantasy world is more popular with girls.
The ratio of female players to male players in Warcraft is about 2 to 8.
And the fantasy world reached an astonishing 4.5 to 5.5, almost five to five.
This ratio represents that the fantasy world has potential far exceeding World of Warcraft.
As long as there are more players, games like this huge community can even gain important significance beyond the game itself, which is the metaverse that many foreign companies have been hyping for half a year.
Of course, the current focus is still on Primordial.
Because most of them are special effects content, the filming time of Primordial is much faster than other movies.
Netizens only felt that it hadn't been long, and Primordial ushered in the trailer that was about to be released. ===== CHAPTER 1142 =====
