Chapter 1295

"In terms of film, it is in our interest to promote Westinghouse's acquisition of Sony Pictures. Although it is contrary to our other strategy of putting more big studios in the hands of overseas giants, it is better for Westinghouse to take back the weak Sony Pictures in the long run than to let it get Disney or paramount. Therefore, next, we need to ensure that there will be no turnaround in Sony's film business. We will try our best to seize the high-quality projects that may fall into Sony's hands. "

"There are special effects and so on," Amy Pascal added. "We can refuse to provide special effects support for Sony's important projects by increasing the offer."

"Yes, in a word, it is to force Sony to give up its film business."

Los Angeles, Malibu.

In a small conference room of danielis studio, this is an annual summary and strategic planning meeting of Amy Pascal, Robert egger and three brand leaders of danielis.

After discussing the film business, Simon looked down at his memo and looked up at Nancy Brill, who attended the conference via video in London. Then he said, "let's talk about games. First of all, let's go to the topic just now. Nancy, in order to suppress Sony and pave the way for our own host plan, Next, Denise will temporarily reduce the development of console games or transplant them to the console game platform, which is also included in Nintendo. This year and next, we will try our best to develop online games and PC stand-alone

After listening to Simon's words, Nancy immediately said, "boss, I think it's enough to snipe Sony. We don't need to target Nintendo too much. Nintendo's 32-bit host has so many problems that it's hard to pose a threat to us in the future. The market stock of its 8-bit and 16 bit mainframe is still very large. We also have the royalty preferential treatment of Nintendo, and the annual profit is quite considerable. "

Several other senior executives in the small meeting room expressed some subtlety when they saw Nancy's unquestioning Simon's decision.

Nancy has always been.

However, during this period of time, it's a lot of fun to listen to Nancy picking Simon's thorn when it comes out that a certain boss of his own has finally hooked up with a small female executive.

It seems that they haven't been conquered completely.

Simon has always been a person who allows his subordinates to give advice and pick up mistakes. Of course, he will not be angry because of this. What's more, because of the change of his relationship with Nancy, he will not allow the small female executives to contradict himself. He smiles and nods: "I just want to determine a general direction, and you can operate it yourself in detail."

Nancy nodded and hung her head down on the screen to write and draw. It was all business.

Simon also continued: "in terms of content, anti terrorist elites ol has been very successful recently, which makes some people think that PC games and console games will be eliminated, and that we should completely turn to online games. I have already expressed my attitude towards this. This time, I would like to emphasize that although I strongly support the development of online games, But I don't think single game will be eliminated. Therefore, our investment in single game will not be reduced, but will continue to increase. In the game department, you all need to show a similar attitude to avoid the floating of some team members. "

Anti terrorism elites ol, which was first launched in the United States on November 21 last year, is not a simple success, but a phenomenal one.

As of January 1, this year, just six weeks after its launch, after selling 1.13 million units in the first week, "anti terrorism elite ol" has sold 4.54 million units in North America.

Based on a unit price of $69, the game's sales reached $310 million in North America alone.

Even though the hottest wave of sales momentum of this game has begun to slow down with the end of the year holidays, considering that the game is far more than the long-term sales cycle of the film, it is only a matter of time for the anti terrorist elite ol to break through the sales volume of 10 million sets in the United States, and it is not impossible to even impact the sales volume of 15 million to 20 million sets.

Overseas, when the local success, Denise quickly launched the game overseas. At present, "anti terrorism elite ol" has been launched in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea. By the same time, as of last week, the cumulative overseas sales have exceeded 2.3 million sets, and the sales price is basically the same as that in North America. Under the circumstances, the revenue is close to $160 million.

Even with a huge R & D and marketing budget of US $50 million invested in this game in the early stage, only with the sales volume of one and a half months since it was put on the shelves, "anti terrorism elite ol" has already made danielis a lot of money.

Compared with many previous single player games, even phenomenal games often take one or two years to accumulate millions of sales, "anti terrorism elite ol" has achieved 6.8 million sets of global sales in just one and a half months, and is expected to break through the 10 million mark in three months at most.

This kind of sales speed inevitably makes many people think that online games are the future of the video game industry.Simon can't control how other game companies will change their strategies. For Denise, even though Simon pushed anti terrorist elite ol, he still hasn't lost his judgment.

Online games and stand-alone have their own advantages and disadvantages. Just like cinema movies and TV movies, they can share and coexist.

If daenerys is a small company, Simon may focus on one of them, but with daenerys Entertainment's current size, a two pronged approach is more in the long run.

This is a small-scale summary and decision-making meeting, which did not involve too many details. After a discussion, we soon turned to TV, music, theme park and other businesses.

At the end of the one hour meeting, when the others left for a while, Simon looked at Nancy on the wall screen and asked, "how are you doing?"

"It's very smooth. Both EMI and Polaroid are very active in our contact. If external conditions permit, we can win both at one time." South hope here, still business small expression: "however, since can only take one, I'm considering, next poach some singers from EMI."

Simon said with a smile, "I know that. I'm asking how are you doing?"

Nancy said, "I've moved out of your property in London. Next I'm going to Holland. I don't plan to live in the place you arranged. Boss, more contact with your life, I found that you have raised so many women, more than I imagined

Simon ignored some of Nancy's words and indulged: "it doesn't matter. You can live as you like."

Nancy rolled her eyes a little, a little haughty: "I'm still rethinking our relationship."

Red envelope!

Simon nodded: "well, but be careful. I'm such a good man. If I miss him, I won't meet him again."

Nancy lost her temper and glared at someone: "boss, I'm serious."

Simon also restrained his tone, sincere expression: "I'm also very serious, I never thought of the women around me into caged birds, you are free, I'm happy to see the women in my life can be happy and wonderful."

When Nancy heard Simon say that, her expression eased a little, and her mouth was still unforgiving: "it sounds like rhetoric."

"Do you want to hear more?"

"No," Nancy said, slightly raising her chin and refusing. She hesitated a little and asked, "are you really with Diana that?"

"No, she doesn't fit my taste, and her skin is rough. I don't like it."

Nancy didn't believe it: "deceiving, don't you think I heard? Jennie came here some time ago... Tut, she beat Diana... It's so disgraceful." Then he immediately added and adjusted the spearhead: "it's all because of you."

Simon raised his hands to make a surrender: "well, my fault."

"So you admit it?"

"Not really."

Nancy tilted her head and suddenly responded, "how do you know Princess Diana has bad skin?"

Simon toward the opposite woman discharge: "I have long eyes, ah, a very attractive pair, vision is also very good."

Nancy turned away from her eyes and said, "you're changing the subject again."

"Well, I just feel sorry for her. After all, it's a pity that a woman who has done a lot of things over the years suddenly dies one day."

Nancy was very clever. She immediately recognized Simon's voice and subconsciously turned her head and said, "you... Mean... No?"

"If I were the royal family of England, I would probably do something to avoid a wayward woman constantly damaging the little prestige left in the royal family."

Nancy blinked, understood, and then asked again, "do you mean that if one day I am too headstrong and damage the prestige of the Westeros, you will kill me too?"

"Why do you want to damage the prestige of the Westeros?"

"I mean if?"

"It's very dangerous for women not to make such assumptions that embarrass men."

"So you're going to kill me, aren't you?"

"Honey, why don't we break up now?"

"Asshole."

After that, there is a black.

However, Simon also knows that she didn't hang up, but Nancy deliberately raised her hand to cover the camera, and there was obviously a rustle in the speaker.A moment later, the little hand moved away, revealing Nancy's petite face again: "will you go further with her?"

Simon shook his head firmly without hesitation: "No."

"Liar."

"I'll go to Europe on Friday. Don't rush back there. How about playing together for a few days?"

The opposite little woman was obviously moved, but she said, "I'm very busy."

"I'm busy, too, but no matter how busy I am, I have to rest, don't I?"

Nancy tilted her head, a very reluctant appearance, but also deliberately general: "I want to go to Ukraine to see, it is said that you raise more girls there, OK?"

"Yes, what kind of girls do you like? I'll find a group for you."

Nancy repeated, "I mean your little girl."

"I guarantee it's all mine."

Nancy: --

In an office of Denise's London headquarters, Nancy is very tangled. It's clear that some guy on the opposite side is completely obedient to all kinds of difficulties. Why doesn't she feel like taking the initiative at all?

Think about it a little bit.

Then I understood.

Asshole.

A playboy who is good at flattering women.

He is not so easy to coax!

So no longer make a fuss, this time really hang up the video communication.

See how you play!

But when I hung up the call, I sat alone in the spacious conference room and looked out of the window at the night that had been shrouded in London just after six o'clock in the afternoon, and I missed it somehow.

If you want to turn on video communication again, you should be more reserved.

Maybe.

Because he is offline, he has left.

He hesitated and finally decided to take another look. If he left like this, it showed that some guy didn't care about himself.

Then

Said to click the next video communication software Unicom button.

The little heart is high.

There is almost a second, and then a guy's hateful smile on the screen: "baby, you miss me so soon?"

Nancy felt like a little mouse caught on the spot when she was stealing food. Her cheeks were hot for some reason, so she decided to hang up again.
