Chapter 559 Mobile Game Project
"Well, once the mobile game development department is established, your primary task will be to develop mobile versions of the three games: 'Three Kingdoms Kill,' 'League of Legends,' and 'PUBG.'"
The gameplay logic of "Three Kingdoms Kill" is designed for turn-based games, so it has the lowest technical difficulty to port it to mobile games. It can be used as the first test product to refine the team's development process.
League of Legends is currently the company's most core IP.
The direction of mobile game adaptation is not to simply copy PC games, but to create simplified versions adapted for mobile devices, shorten the duration of each game, and optimize the touch screen operation feel.
As for PUBG, adapting it for mobile devices is more difficult than for MOBA games, but once it's successful, its impact on the market will be nuclear-level.
"Mr. Fu, there's no problem with adapting 'Three Kingdoms Kill' and 'League of Legends' into mobile games, but 'PUBG' has very high hardware requirements."
With current mobile phone hardware capabilities, it's impossible to run 3D games like PUBG smoothly.
Fu Yibai took out the engineering prototype of the Nebula X4.
"Take a look at this. If this configuration also fails to run it, then we'll work on the first two games first."
Liu Yongqiang took the Nebula X4, examined it several times, and then checked its hardware parameters in the settings interface.
He pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"Mr. Fu, the X4's configuration is already top-of-the-line among current mobile phones, but it still falls short of the minimum requirements for running 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'."
The GPU in this Snapdragon S4 Pro is insufficient for real-time rendering of a large map with hundreds of players. Even if it were forced to run, the frame rate would drop to single digits, and heat and power consumption would be uncontrollable.
He returned the phone to Fu Yibai.
"My assessment is that, given the current pace of mobile hardware development, it will take at least two more generations of products before we can even begin to grasp the threshold of making 'PUBG' a mobile game."
The best solution right now is to prioritize developing mobile versions of "Three Kingdoms Kill" and "League of Legends".
Fu Yibai took the phone and put it in the drawer.
"Okay, then we'll do it your way."
Play "Three Kingdoms Kill" first to get the team working together;
The League of Legends project was launched simultaneously, and preliminary technical research has already begun.
Keep the PUBG case in mind for now, and start developing it when the hardware conditions are right.
"clear."
Liu Yongqiang stood up, then suddenly remembered something and added a sentence.
"Mr. Fu, regarding the manpower of the mobile game development department, I plan to draw a group of experienced employees with PC game development experience from within the company to form the backbone, and then recruit a group of technical talents specializing in mobile games from outside."
There are several mobile game development teams at NetEase and Perfect World; I can try to contact them.
"You need to be careful with your poaching activities and avoid causing legal disputes."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After leaving Xingmeng Digital Entertainment, Fu Yibai went to Zhao Qi's office.
"Mr. Zhao, Xingmeng Digital Entertainment is about to set up a mobile game development department, and Liu Yongqiang will submit a budget application."
"You should prioritize approvals here; don't delay the hiring of necessary personnel or the purchase of new equipment."
"Understood. Mr. Fu, Chen Mo just delivered a proposal for the first season finale of 'Starry Dream Factory,' which he left with Xin Yu."
I also sent over the project approval materials for Director Zhang's "Coming Home".
"Okay, I'll check it when I get back."
Back in her office, Zhang Xinyu greeted her with the documents in hand.
Fu Yibai sat down behind his desk and opened the files.
The finals are scheduled for October 28th at the Beijing Workers' Stadium, which can accommodate 10 spectators.
The competition consists of three rounds: the first round is a talent show by the top 18 contestants, the second round is a group competition, and the third round is an original song performance.
The final ranking was calculated by weighting the on-site votes, online real-time votes, and historical cumulative votes. The nine members with the most votes debuted as a group called "Star Dream Girls".
The proposal also included an operational plan for the company's debut.
The entire operational cycle was filled with a year's worth of schedules after the group's formation, with each stage marked with a corresponding budget and expected revenue.
Fu Yibai flipped through the entire book from beginning to end and signed his name on the last page.
The second folder contains the project approval materials for "Coming Home".
Zhang Yimou's production team has prepared a very detailed budget: the total production cost is 60 million yuan, with set design and art direction accounting for the largest share, because it is necessary to recreate streets, courtyards and interior scenes from multiple periods from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Regarding the actors' salaries, director Chen and Gong Li have already received their offers. Their combined salaries account for a little over 20% of the total budget, which is considered normal for an art film.
Filming is scheduled to begin next March and last for three months, primarily taking place in several old neighborhoods in Tianjin and Hebei.
Post-production is expected to take four months, and with the addition of submission for review and scheduling coordination, it could be released as early as the end of next year.
Fu Yibai signed his name in the project approval column and handed both documents to Zhang Xinyu.
Zhang Xinyu took the folder and turned to walk out.
She paused at the door and glanced back at Fu Yibai.
"Mr. Fu, it's already past six o'clock, you should go home."
Fu Yibai glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, closed his laptop, stood up, and picked up his coat from the hanger.
"Let's go."
