Chapter 561 The first AAA game
Ling Yi ridiculed Xu Xiyu as a "country boy". This was hard to hear, but it was also very practical.
As a person from an ordinary family, Xu Xiyu can rely on his talent to dodge certain business struggles.
But if he faces non-commercial competition, he will indeed fall into a dilemma, and the adults in his own family really can't give him an answer to this dilemma.
So, after thinking for a long time, he decided to ask some knowledgeable people.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Xu Xiyu first drove to Hu's house. He wanted to ask Hu Ningwei's grandfather for advice first.
Hu Ningwei was naturally very happy about Xu Xiyu's sudden visit, and thought he missed her.
As soon as she saw his solemn expression, she immediately realized that something was wrong. She didn't have time to talk to each other between the young lovers, so she immediately took Xu Xiyu to see her grandfather.
At this time, in the study room, Xu Xiyu and the old man were sitting opposite each other, while Hu Ningwei was sitting next to them making tea for them.
After listening to Xu Xiyu's general explanation of the matter, the old man pondered for a moment and asked: "What do you think they will use to destroy your reputation?"
"I've thought about it, and it's all about my private life. You know my situation well..." When Xu Xiyu said this, he instinctively glanced at Hu Ningwei, with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.
But Hu Ningwei seemed not to hear it and was still lowering her head to make tea.
When Mr. Hu heard this, he sighed and said, "Why didn't you let the three of them fake marriages with others in the first place?"
"I..." Xu Xiyu didn't know how to answer when he heard this.
Of course he knew that the best solution was to let Lu, Ke, Yang and others fake marriages and wait a year or two before getting divorced. In this way, there would be no risks.
But...
Seeing that he was choked, Mr. Hu did not dwell on this, but continued: "I don't think they will make your private life public.
You know, their goal is to make money from you. If they make a fuss about this matter and discredit you in front of the public, how can they make money? ? ”
"Grandpa, that's not necessarily the case. Xiyu's strength lies in his creation. Even if his house collapses due to this incident, he can still make money behind the scenes in the future.
The capital market values his ability to make money, not his character; as for ordinary viewers, they will forget about this matter in a year and a half.
As long as his future works do not bear his name and the quality of his current works can be maintained, he can continue. "Hu Ningwei put forward a different view.
"This is the truth, but if you really do this, it will be equivalent to using up Xiyu's biggest leverage. This will actually help him get out of trouble.
A knife is most intimidating when it is held to the neck but has not yet been cut. Mr. Hu said and took a sip of water. He doesn’t drink tea at night.
Seeing this, Xu Xiyu also picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "In that case, I really can't figure out how they can destroy my reputation.
Or maybe they didn't intend to destroy my reputation, but intended to create some atmosphere to put pressure on me, and then talk to me about my personal life? ”
"No, they will definitely take action. You are not a young fool. What's the use of putting some pressure on you? You must be truly aware of the danger before you are willing to talk."
"Grandpa, what do you think they will do?"
“It’s hard to say what to do specifically. Nowadays, these young people are doing things without scruples or rules. They just want to make quick money by relying on their parents.
Unlike people of your father's generation, they are still thinking about actually doing a good job and making the business flow smoothly. "Mr. Hu shook his head.
Then, before Xu Xiyu could speak, he continued: "However, precisely because they only wanted to make quick money, they gave you a way to survive.
What is quick money? Those who fish for the best, knock the bones and suck out the marrow, and use any means to make quick money. Xiyu, you are different from others. You can currently be regarded as one of the representatives of the domestic cultural industry to the outside world.
If they plan to do business with you and get things done together, then you can't get rid of them. But if they plan to kill you as a fat pig and eat meat, some people are not willing to do so. ”
"So, as long as Xiyu does his current job well and continues to gain overseas influence, then he will be invincible?" Hu Ningwei's eyes lit up.
"Yes, but here comes the problem again. "Coco" is highly rated, but it is an animated film. Animated films affect not only adult audiences, but also children and teenagers.
"Coco" will be released globally soon. If it doesn't do well at the box office, it will be fine. But if it hits the box office again, can Disney survive?
As the world's largest film and television company and also the world's largest animation film production company, it is impossible for you to continue like this.
Even if Disney can let it go, the US government will not allow you to continue like this. Again, animated movies affect more than just adults.
You are cooperating with the Happy Valley Group again. In the next ten or eight years, don't let the place that children around the world yearn for most be your "dual shadow paradise". This is unacceptable to the United States and even the entire West. of.
Therefore, the top priority is to find ways to gain influence overseas in addition to film and television. The film and television industry is too easy to be strangled by outsiders. ”
"Grandpa, does my property count?"
"You are still just starting out. It's too early to talk about overseas influence." Mr. Hu shook his head without hesitation.
After saying that, he emphasized to Xu Xiyu: "Moreover, it is best to be the one that can achieve zero breakthroughs like "The Three-Body Problem". The more types and projects you have breakthroughs, the more you will become in the eyes of the above." Valuable.”
"Understood, I'll think about it." Xu Xiyu's expression became more solemn when he heard this.
How can there be so many places where 0 breakthroughs can be achieved?
Film and television have already made breakthroughs, and those that have made breakthroughs seem to have gone too far. What the old man said is reasonable, and it is easy to be strangled.
As for music, my song "One Day" seems to have opened up the door, but the problem is that music is something where singing foreign songs has little meaning, and it cannot be said to be a cultural export.
This is different from film and television dramas. The size of film and television dramas is here, and it can carry enough content. Even if the music becomes popular, it only proves that he is a singer-songwriter who can write foreign songs.
Unless the Chinese songs you compose can become popular abroad, this will be of some significance. Therefore, music can only be used as a means to gain overseas fame. It must be available and must be done, but it cannot be the core of cultural output.
As for novels, "The Three-Body Problem" has also opened up the door, but I don't have any other science fiction novels to write. In fact, I have limited reading of Da Liu's books, so if I force myself to write something else, I may not be good at it.
What else? etc.
Do games count?
I also have the first domestic AAA game in my hands.
Before the acquisition, I had been doing it for almost two years. After the acquisition, I have been doing it for a total of 6 years, and I am almost done.
Counting the days, you can also start promoting it. The picture quality is similar to the live demonstration of "Black Myth: Wukong" that I saw on earth before. The gameplay is also very rich, and there are many types of levels and monsters.
But the question is, is there a 3A stand-alone market in China?
Damn, it’s still too early to travel back in time. What are the results of “Black Myth: Wukong”?
Have sales reached 1 million copies?
It's probably pretty high.
Previous analysis on the Internet said that there is no 3A market in China, and the total global sales for the whole year can reach 1 million copies. If there are subsequent discounts, the total sales volume is estimated to reach 2 million.
Two million copies is a lot. If 1 million of these 2 million copies were bought by foreign players, that would be interesting.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu sighed and rubbed his face, feeling an indescribable fatigue.
Seeing this, Hu Ningwei reached out and stroked his hand, with a somewhat distressed look in her eyes.
"Weiwei, please go for a walk with Xiao Xu. Don't worry too much. Taking a step back, the new five years is about to begin. Some people may not be able to stay, and some things may not be said. Understand.”
As he spoke, Mr. Hu stood up and patted Xu Xiyu on the shoulder, then left the study first.
Watching him leave, Hu Ningwei stood up and sat next to Xu Xiyu, hugged his arm and said, "Grandpa is right, don't worry too much."
"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I'm tired. I always feel a little endless. I actually just want to do my own thing well. Why do they have to come to trouble me?" Xu Xiyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"After all, there are few people who do things seriously in the world, and there are many people who are just trying to make ends meet, so you have to get used to it."
Hearing this, Xu Xiyu stretched out his hand and hugged Hu Ningwei into his arms, smelled the fragrance of her hair and said, "Say, if one day I get tired and want to take the money I've earned now to lie down, your grandpa will still do it." Will you agree to let’s be together?”
"No."
"..." Xu Xiyu choked on such honest words.
"But whether I'm with you or not, it all depends on me. My grandpa's decision doesn't count." Hu Ningwei raised her head as she spoke, and then pecked Xu Xiyu's mouth.
Then he stood up and said: "Okay, let's go out for a walk, the room is boring."
Just like that, the two of them walked and chatted in Hu's yard for about an hour, and Xu Xiyu drove away.
After leaving, Xu Xiyu moved around like this to the office area of Parallel Chongcai.
As mentioned before, the parallel heavy colors and binary ghosts are in the same building, the binary ghosts are three floors upstairs, and the parallel heavy colors are three floors downstairs.
Therefore, every time Xu Xiyu comes to Dual Shadow, he will go to Parallel Chongcai to check out the progress of the game.
At this time, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, but the parallel office area was still brightly lit, and people working overtime were busy.
Lu Sansan is one of those who works overtime.
She and Xu Xiyu met often, but the ambiguity between them had disappeared under Xu Xiyu's deliberate control.
Instead, there is a feeling between lovers and friends, with some regrets and feelings, but at least not awkward and getting along naturally.
Therefore, when she saw Xu Xiyu coming over, she immediately smiled and said, "It's so late at night and you have to have a meeting upstairs again?"
"No, I just thought that the game development is almost done. Come and take a look and treat everyone by the way."
"Where's the reward?" Lu Jiu said and stretched out his hand.
"You order, I'll pay for it." Xu Xiyu said happily.
As soon as these words came out, Yu Sihan, the best friend next to Lu Jiu, immediately shouted: "Everyone, Mr. Xu invites you to have a late-night snack. Order in the group. Don't be polite. I will kill the big family today!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of commotion in the office area.
It can be seen that they are going crazy after working overtime.
It was while they were making noise that Lu Jiu's brother Lu Tang, who was also the main artist of the game, came over to say hello to Xu Xiyu.
After a few pleasantries, Xu Xiyu said: "Can I play the new demo of the game?"
"You're so capable. I'm worried that I can't find anyone to give me advice. You'd better pass all the tests." Lu Tang was happy when he heard this.
"Tsk~~ Is it okay to clear all levels?" Lu Sansan lightly punched his brother's arm, and then said to Xu Xiyu, "Don't listen to him. This game is very rare. We are all discussing lowering the difficulty. .”
"Actually, I used to be known as a game master. If my mother didn't agree, I should be a professional e-sports player now." Xu Xiyu cheered up and boasted about his awesomeness. He also wanted to change his mood to be happier.
An hour later...
In the parallel and colorful test room, Xu Xiyu was holding the handle and fell into a sluggish state.
Next to him, Lu Sansan finally couldn't hold back his laughter and said: "You guys, if you don't know better, you think this is the only weird thing in our game."
