Chapter 218 Box Office(1/2)
The benefits of hosting a global event are staggering.
For Wu Qi, the biggest impact is that he is known by players around the world.
Dark Horse Game Company, just like its name, runs like a dark horse.
Whether it's profit, influence, or fame, it's all so impressive that it's breathtaking.
But this is not enough. For Wu Qi, this is just the beginning.
As time goes by, the competition continues to advance, and the top eight appear one by one.
The broadcast ratings in each competition area are rising steadily.
In particular, the countries where the seven teams that entered the quarterfinals are attracting increasing attention.
Under such circumstances, Soger Company expanded rapidly.
Major peripheral directly-operated stores open every day in the countries where the seven major teams are located.
At the same time, as the quarterfinals are approaching,
The first movie about the Sog continent was released simultaneously in more than 30 countries around the world.
The same is true in China, and a premiere was even held.
At the premiere, stars gathered and people from all walks of life came to support it.
Tan Lin participated in the premiere event on behalf of Dark Horse Company.
A lot of Hollywood stars interacted with everyone on the spot, which was very lively.
Qin Junjie did not attend. He invited everyone at the Baoshan Club.
A total of twenty-three people including Zhu Jun, Wu Qi, Tang Rong and others.
Not only eating, drinking and having fun, but also enjoying movies together.
This is the final edited film that Qin Junjie saved, the same as the one shown in the cinema.
Wu Qi had already seen it, so he didn't join in the fun and sat aside to talk to Qin Junjie.
"The results are very satisfactory. Bei Mi has set a record for a single show."
"Many players in North America are crazy about this movie and are forwarding it to recommend it."
"The reputation is very good. The key is to take advantage of the competition. This step is very correct and very popular."
Qin Junjie sat next to him with a smile and said.
"It seems you made a lot of money!"
Wu Qi said slowly.
"Nowhere can I compare to you!"
Qin Junjie's smile froze and he said helplessly.
In fact, long before the filming of the movie started, he made a small profit under his operation.
Nowadays, with the popularity of the event and the advertisement placement in the movie, you can book and make a lot of money.
It's a pity that there are no film and television peripherals, and the share of the discs is very small.
Looking at it this way, Wu Qi is the one who earns the most.
This is helpless, after all, this is Wu Qi’s IP.
"What are your plans next?"
Wu Qi asked.
"The sequel has already started, if the movie box office reaches the desired level this time."
"Then next season, we will release the second part at the same time."
"But the game update interrupted our plans."
"I came here this time just to get an update on the situation."
Qin Junjie said honestly.
A sudden full version update is really unprepared.
What Qin Junjie is worried about is whether the sequel will be affected after the game is upgraded and updated.
Without updated content, the movie will be out of touch with the game, which is no small problem.
"The new version opens up a new world. You can think of it as a different-dimensional world."
"It can also be a copy, but this copy is in oriental style."
"So don't worry, it's useless even if you worry."
Wu Qi smiled nonchalantly.
"Oriental style? Is it still like this?" Qin Junjie looked at him in surprise, "If the style is not unified, will it still be attractive to players? Aren't you afraid of conflicts caused by chaotic styles?"
"One world jumps into another world, but they are connected to each other." Wu Qi explained softly, "Players can set landing points in the two worlds at will."
"Is this world the end or just the beginning?" Qin Junjie asked.
"Of course it's just the beginning." Wu Qi said with a smile, "What you get is only the film and television adaptation rights of Sog's world. It has nothing to do with this world. You must remember this."
Qin Junjie's face suddenly turned bitter, feeling that he had been cheated by Wu Qi.
The new version appeared, and the new world attracted old friends, but Qin Junjie suffered a big loss. The contract he signed with Wu Qi was originally for the entire Sog continent, but now it is just a Sog world. This change will follow
In the future, the game will continue to be upgraded and losses will continue.
"Xiao Qi..." Qin Junjie looked at Wu Qi pleadingly.
"I'm not cheating you," Wu Qi shook his head, "You can't eat it, especially now."
Qin Junjie was startled, then his face darkened, and he sighed inwardly.
Wu Qi was absolutely right, he couldn't eat it now.
In the past, Soge Continent was not well-known. He signed the contract in advance when it was first launched. Although the price was very expensive, it still seems to be a huge profit now.
Nowadays, offline competitions in Soger Mainland are booming and his reputation has skyrocketed. It is impossible for him to sign the contract at the same price. Even if it is an increase, how much should the increase be?
This is not a matter of money. Qin Junjie knows full well that with the understanding of Dark Horse Games, Qin Junjie and the family power behind him have lost their qualifications as partners.
As long as Wu Qi shows his willingness to the outside world, I don't know how many companies will flock to it, especially after this movie has achieved very good results.
Thinking of this, Qin Junjie's face turned pale. He discovered that Wu Qi had already planned it. He was just Wu Qi's pawn across the river and was completely used by Wu Qi.
The benefits that fell into his hands were nothing compared to what Wu Qi gained.
"Don't think so much," Wu Qi said with a smile, "There are so many characters in Sog Continent that you can benefit endlessly. Whether you take action or insist on filming, you will make a lot of money."
This is true, but the problem is that the contract between the two is limited. In addition to the time limit, there are also requirements for the quality of the film. If Wu Qi is not satisfied, he can directly veto it.
Qin Junjie rubbed his face and fully appointed Wu Qi to be sure of himself so early. He was worthy of this guy's rise so quickly. He couldn't compete with him and didn't dare to compete with him, so he could only obey.
…
The first Sog film exploded at the box office on the first day it was released in its home country.
The first-day box office grossed 360 million, making it a dark horse in the summer season.
There were a lot of discussions on the Internet, causing shocking waves and shaking the circle.
Among them, the main box office players are still gamers.
They may go to the cinema after watching the game, or they may book tickets in advance to watch it with friends.
The Douban score is 8.4, and the total number of people who have rated it is more than 3,000.
Although the score will decrease as the number of people increases in the future, this is already a very good result.
After all, this is a movie adapted from a game, and it has already set a record.
The best part is, the show is on Friday.
Some people don't have to take a day off on Saturdays, so they rush to the midnight screening just to watch a movie.
Can't wait to take a look.
Some people even started shopping for the second time on the same day, complaining because they couldn't get tickets.
Moreover, there are a lot of discussions about the movie online, and the official website also launches activities in a timely manner.
If you show off your ticket stubs after watching the movie, you can go to the official website to receive a gift.
You can also participate in the official website lottery.
The participation of game players in Sog Continent has always been very high.
Under the leadership and guidance of Dark Horse Company, the total box office in the three days of the first weekend reached 900 million.
Although it is very regrettable that it did not exceed 900 million, this number is enough to make people happy.
Even Wu Qi was happy for it.
