Video Game Designer

I have to say that EA's sincerity is really full. Because he was worried about Ubisoft's spoiling the situation, Charles went to Rennes in person, just wanting to implement the cooperation with Chuhe as soon as possible.

In the hotel room, Chu He looked at Charles, who didn't sleep well and obviously had dark circles, a little speechless.

"It's just a small matter. As for running over in person?" Chu He picked up the hot milk that had just been brought into the room from the table next to him, and said to Charles with a sip.

no big deal?

Is this really a small thing? This is a cooperation worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Hearing Chuhe's tone, Charles was momentarily at a loss for words, but after thinking about it, it was true. Their EA was really in a hurry and wanted to finalize the cooperation with Tianhe Network.

But Tianhe Network is really not in a hurry. The capital is enough, whether it is working alone or cooperating with Ubisoft, which I just hooked up with, there is no problem.

Hearing what Chuhe said, Charles sighed sincerely: "Hurry up!"

Can you be in no hurry?

The first step was still a concubine's love, and a third party stepped in later, and it was not an ordinary kind of stepping in, but had already lived in someone else's house.

"We are still very interested in Dead Space Studios. Ubisoft is just an ordinary strategic cooperation and will not affect our cooperative relationship with EA." Chu He told EA.

In fact, Chuhe is really willing to cooperate with EA, although the reputation of the other party is really bad, whether in China or abroad, they are even the only game company on the list with the worst reputation in the United States.

But as their partner, Tianhe Network didn't suffer at all.

Every time EA crashes itself while playing, facing the collapse, EA spends a lot of money to let Tianhe Network come to the rescue.

In the past two years of cooperation with EA, Tianhe Network has not only made a lot of money, but its employees have also dug one after another.

At present, Jinling headquarters, as well as several overseas branches in North America, most of the employees in Tianhe Network are poached from EA, ranging from game producers like Amy and Gila who can play their own role, down to ordinary technology Employees, Tianhe Network has been able to develop games smoothly in the past two years, and EA is really indispensible.

And soon EA is going to send the Dead Space team over. Although the founders of the main core members will not come over, it doesn't matter that what Chuhe really likes is only the middle-level and grass-roots teams.

It's not because the main creator failed in several consecutive works, or even failed in the original Dead Space series, but because Tianhe Network doesn't really need it.

In terms of game development alone, there are really many departments of Tianhe Network, as well as the main creators, who can be independent.

On the contrary, the middle and lower levels need to strengthen the staff reserve.

"I am very happy to see the joint development. Of course, it is the same as our previous requirements for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. If the server of the game includes follow-up operations, we need to lead it. EA only provides assistance on demand, and also owns part of the copyright of the game. And profit sharing." Chu He looked at Charles Ming and said.

To put it simply, we jointly develop the game, and I have the final say on the follow-up operation, but the server also needs customer service, including technical maintenance, etc., and your EA also has to pay, and we share the final proceeds together.

This plan had already been passed within the meeting, and Charles agreed with it.

Discussed some details with Charles, and specifically let the team continue to talk to EA.

Chuhe doesn't know if this game, which has initially reached a cooperation intention and has not yet been approved, will become popular.

But Chuhe really wants to know, if this game brings good news to EA, will EA still make some deadly moves.

As mentioned before, EA is a typical example of remembering to eat but not to play.

Every time after the good news, I always have to do my own thing and make comparisons.

But Chuhe really wants to see EA die a few times, it’s better to toss Criterion under its banner so that he can dig into the wall. After all, today’s river network really doesn’t have much experience in racing games. studio.

This one is responsible for the hot laughing, and Need for Speed ​​studio, which is obviously quite attractive.

"We have already prepared the transfer contract for Dead Space Studio, and we have notified the following employees in advance, but whether you are willing to go to Tianhe Network depends on whether your conditions can impress them. It is." Charles followed Chuhe and said.

"Of course, this is our business, but after all, we are about to become FPS professionals." Chu He couldn't help but smacked his lips and said.

From the earliest Road to Survival, to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and later Red Dead Redemption and The Last Survivor, basically every FPS is the mainstream combat system.

"FPS is one of the mainstream games, and your performance is also extremely good." Charles smiled and started a wave of business exchanges.

"EA is of great help to us." Chuhe nodded.

The help is really great. In the early days, Tianhe Network cooperated with EA, and the other party gave money and gave away. Now EA's Medal of Honor team, the old battlefield team, and the current Dead Space team have almost all come to the bowl. Including the inflow of talents from other studios here and there, there are at least three or four hundred people.

You must know that today, including overseas employees, and independently established subsidiaries such as Longzu and TINGK, Today River Network only has a total of about 2,000 employees.

Thinking of this, Chuhe felt that although I did not acquire EA's shares like I did with Ubisoft, I already have half of EA's shares.

After discussing the cooperation with EA, Chu He and Charles visited Ubisoft again the next day.

At the same time, Charles also talked about some things with Ubisoft's Yves.

The two companies, EA and Ubisoft, can be said to have a deep relationship. In the past, EA was the largest shareholder of Ubisoft. Later, after friendly negotiations, they reached a strategic cooperation and EA sold their shares to cash out.

The two manufacturers in the middle have had mutual rivalry, but they have also had close cooperation. For example, the third-party games of the two will appear on each other's platform, which can be said to be a model of embracing competition.

Chuhe himself doesn't care about any strategic cooperation between EA and Ubisoft.

The current situation of these two manufacturers is the kind of 50 steps, laughing at 100 steps. Of course, Ubisoft's situation is much better. At least Ubisoft has blown EA in terms of player reputation.

After all, Ubisoft has an off-site lengthening element. Ubisoft has always been a poor character bullied by Vivendi, and people have the habit of sympathizing with the weak.

EA is great, he is usually the one who bullies others.

Originally, Chuhe was a salted fish spectator today, but after a day's visit, when he was having dinner in the restaurant box inside Ubisoft, Charles suddenly asked Chuhe a question.

"Is Tianhe Network interested in IP linkage with EA?"
