Chapter 11 You're not bragging, are you?!)
"Hello, Mr. Chu."
Chu Ge's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Yang? I am Chu Ge, the general manager of Galaxy Network. I want to talk to you about the agency distribution of the game "The Binding of Isaac"."
"No problem, just stay in the officially registered game business chat room." Yang Chen smiled.
The development of the game industry can be said to be very standardized now, not only the professional title certificates and ratings of various professions in the game industry.
Its legal aspects also take good care of niche independent game production teams.
For example, games are officially registered, and business cooperation will also be carried out through special official chat software. At the same time, the official will have special lawyers to review the contract to ensure that there will be no fraud. At the same time, the two parties will talk
The content will also be logged.
Of course, after the process is over, you still need to pay a small handling fee to the lawyer and officials who provided the service.
"Okay, what about time?"
"Is it okay at 3:30 this afternoon?"
"no problem."
After a brief exchange, Yang Chen hung up the phone. Wang Yaliang, who was eavesdropping next to him, came over and said, "Is there anyone who likes our game? Which company is it? NetDragon, Tenghua or Phoenix?"
"It's not the big three, it's a small distribution company, Galaxy Network." Yang Chen put down the phone, pinched Wang Yaliang's cheek and said.
"That's it." Wang Yaliang was a little disappointed when he heard that the scale was not very big.
"Don't be disappointed. In fact, even if the Big Three come to me, I won't agree." Yang Chen shook his head and said.
There is no doubt about the size of the resources of the three major companies, but their appetites are also not small.
A small producer like him can be said to have no say in front of the Big Three.
"Yes, you said it as if the three major universities are already determined to take your game." Yang Chen's hand was slapped with a snap. Wang Yaliang curled his lips, but then showed a puzzled expression. He always felt a little familiar: "This
I seem to have seen that name somewhere."
Yang Chen laughed out loud: "Of course I have seen it, my last game was released by them."
"Or them?" Wang Yaliang looked a little strange.
Although Wang Yaliang didn't know much about the game industry, he also knew that Yang Chen's last game caused the publisher to lose a lot of money.
But now the publisher that lost a lot of money has come to visit again. What's going on?
Is the game really great? Let them ignore past failures; or is it simply a problem with their vision?
But before Wang Yaliang could start teasing Yang Chen, the phone next to him rang again.
"Hello, are you Mr. Yang? I am Zhang Shaoming, the head of NetDragon's game publishing department..."
"Okay, no problem, just stay in the officially registered game business chat room."
Yang Chen hung up the phone, and Wang Yaliang leaned his head over again: "Who is calling again?"
"The Big Three! The Net Dragon of the Big Three." Yang Chen smiled, walked in front of Wang Yaliang, and pinched the other person's face with both hands: "It's time to eat some meat, the pinching makes it uncomfortable."
"Don't make trouble! Let's put it this way, it's not some Galaxy Network that has poor vision. This game really has potential?" Wang Yaliang said in surprise.
Although she thought it was quite fun and even played it most of the night, she didn't dare to say how good her vision was. After all, some of the games she liked in the past were often huge hits.
If we were to say what her favorite game is, it’s probably the game on her mobile phone.
"Who asked me to play with you until midnight a few days ago? Are you so unsure of my game?" Yang Chen pretended to be angry and pressed Wang Yaliang on the sofa, saying 'viciously'.
"It's not that I don't have confidence, I just didn't expect it to be like this. Someone came to the door just the next day? And the three major Internet dragons?" Wang Yaliang defended himself.
"So I still don't believe it!" Yang Chen smiled and stretched out his hands.
"Haha, oops, stop it, it's itchy... oops... the phone... the phone rang again." Wang Yaliang, whose face was red, patted Yang Chen's arm and pointed to the ringing and vibrating mobile phone next to him.
"Let go" of the person under him, Yang Chen hugged Wang Yaliang and connected the phone.
"Hello, I am Tenghua Games, the person in charge of the independent game publishing department. I would like to talk to you about the cooperation on "The Binding of Isaac"."
Tenghua is here too!
Wang Yaliang, who came next to Yang Chen and listened quietly, opened his eyes wide. Did they also call?
"Okay, at three o'clock in the afternoon, it will be in the officially registered game business chat room, okay?"
"no problem."
Yang Chen gave the same words as before and then hung up the phone.
After Yang Chen hung up the phone, Wang Yaliang was very excited and asked Yang Chen a little eagerly: "Tenghua is also interested in this game?"
"Don't get excited. Didn't I tell you before? It's hard for me to accept the conditions of the three major players, and it's almost impossible for them to change because of my game." Yang Chen knew it very well.
"Aren't you bragging? You are serious!" Wang Yaliang's face showed surprise.
"You always thought I was bragging?!" After hearing Wang Yaliang's words and seeing the surprise on her face, Yang Chen felt a black line on his forehead.
He has full confidence in the game "The Binding of Isaac" in his dream memory, but he also has a very clear understanding that this game is at best an excellent game in front of the three major players, but it is not the only one.
Without the protection of official regulations, almost the next day using their three major code libraries and material libraries, a game with the same gameplay can be created immediately, regardless of the graphics, UI, art, music and related physics.
Games with better performance.
There is no way, who makes others rich and skilled?
Creative gameplay is the most precious thing in the gaming industry, but it is also the easiest thing to be stolen by others.
Don’t have a good game idea? It doesn’t matter, as long as you have money.
In Yang Chen's dream memory, he saw a company that raised penguins and pigs. He had loved doing this kind of thing ever since he made his fortune in the early days.
If something is popular, he will buy you. If you don’t agree, he will copy you. Then, relying on the power of capital, he will copy your product with better quality than yours, and finally build a game empire.
Fortunately, although there are such domineering and shameless gaming companies in reality, the relevant laws and regulations give game creators a good protector.
A short period of protection for game creative gameplay is already very rare. It at least gives game makers who rely on creative gameplay a channel to succeed.
