Chapter 789 - Chapter 780: Madoka can be touched, but Type-Moon can’t?

Although Ori has been very considerate and has done a lot of work for Nanaya.

But even so, Nanaya worked for several hours in a row to go through all the work.

When Nanaya looked up again, he found that time had passed quickly and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

"Do you need me to get you a cup of coffee?"

Seeing that Nanaya finally stopped to rest, Sera asked.

"It's troublesome."

Nanaya said while rubbing his neck.

There was a ready-made coffee machine in the office, and Sera quickly brought a cup of coffee to Nanaya.

"Thanks."

Nanaya smiled and nodded to Sera.

"Um."

Sera nodded slightly and stood there waiting for the man to finish his coffee.

Because it was nap time, Nanaya drank his coffee slowly while looking at the night view outside the window.

"Hey, Sera."

Looking at the bustling street scene of Manhattan Island downstairs, Nanaya asked the maid.

"Um?"

"When Illya brought you to see me, did you ever think about today?"

"I guess he hasn't thought about it." Sera said seriously, "Anyway, I can't imagine that a director who even asks me to replace the stuntman can become a box office champion."

"Well~~"

Nanaya chuckled. Sera's words reminded him of the other person's disgusted expression.

"It's actually quite cute if you don't frown."

Nanaya sighed without thinking.

But the maid just looked at Nanaya with calm eyes, without any feeling at all about this sentence.

"Tsk, I thought you would show some reaction."

Sera's dull look made Nanaya feel a little bored.

"It doesn't matter. As a maid, enduring sexual harassment from the master is part of the necessary job." Sera said in an emotionless voice.

Nanaya almost spit out the coffee in his mouth.

"Ahem. Let your sister handle the conversation in this tone."

Nanaya wiped the coffee from the corner of his mouth.

"And you call this sexual harassment? What kind of image do you have of me?"

"A man with a messy private life has no right to criticize me."

Sera was not at all moved by Nanaya's accusations.

"…"

Nanaya thought about it carefully, and then decided that he should just finish his coffee in silence.

After drinking coffee, Nanaya did not leave the office, but started to browse the materials that he had specially placed separately just now.

This part of the content is what Nanaya felt it necessary to review separately when he was browsing just now.

The first three are film projects submitted by Fox, namely the reboot of the "Predator" and "Alien" series, and the establishment of the "Deadpool" movie.

For the first two plans, Nanaya was a little hesitant.

Nanaya remembered that in his previous life, the rebooted versions of the two series, "Alien" and "Predator", were both released.

Although the official statement is that these two series of films are related to the versions of the last century, in fact there is very little connection with the previous films.

There is no big problem with a complete restart.

There are even two films in the "Alien" series, one is called the prequel "Prometheus", and the other is the sequel to the prequel "Alien: Covenant".

But in terms of commercial performance, the performance of these films is not very optimistic.

"Prometheus" is relatively okay, and although the other two films did not lose money, in terms of the commercial value of the IP, it is not a problem to define them as failures.

The biggest problem here is that science fiction thrillers like "Alien" are outdated in terms of subject matter.

However, the sentiment for the old IP is still there, and if the production cost can be controlled within 50 million US dollars, it can still be done.

But the proposer of "Alien" was Ridley Scott, which made Nanaya a little embarrassed.

This director is famous for his love of spending money lavishly.

Not only that, the director always likes to tell stories that he thinks are very meaningful, but these stories are generally praised in terms of commercial performance.

This problem exists in Kingdom of Heaven, Blade Runner and Robin Hood.

It is true that these works were shot very well, and in terms of quality there is absolutely no problem in having them recorded in film history.

But these films are not qualified commercial films and can only be classified as art films.

Anyway, in Nanaya's memory, the only film that Ridley Scott could show off after entering the new century was "The Martian".

[Forget it, if the other party doesn't agree to low-cost production, then just change people. ]

Among the three project proposals submitted by Fox, the only one that Nanaya was relatively satisfied with was "Deadpool".

Nanaya can be said to have a very deep impression of this R-rated movie, which had the second highest box office in the previous life after "The Passion of the Christ".

After all, this movie was not well-received before production, and its budget was less than 60 million.

After its release, the box office of this movie not only surpassed the "Thor" trilogy, "Captain America 1 & 2" series, and "Guardians of the Galaxy 1", these very famous Marvel movies.

It's surpassing all other X-Men movies, as well as... Batman v Superman and Justice League.

DC won't flog the corpse, but the X-Men's side is really a bit funny.

Even "Days of Future Past", a movie that brought together new and old main actors and was praised to the sky.

In the end, it was surpassed by its own R-rated movie with a total investment of 58 million US dollars.

I can only say that movie investment is really a magical thing.

You have to know that in the previous life, Fox never planned to shoot the movie "Deadpool".

If it weren't for the hackers leaking the trial production footage, fans would have petitioned across the entire internet.

I guess Fox will just throw this substandard movie into the trash.

But even if it agreed, Fox only gave a stingy $58 million as a token of its appreciation.

Nanaya was not sure whether Fox had a desperate mentality when it made this decision.

Anyway, Nanaya will definitely agree to this project.

Of course, the budget for "Deadpool" will definitely not be too much.

Although in terms of the commercial performance of "Deadpool", investing hundreds of millions of dollars is not a problem at all.

But low budget is the hallmark of Deadpool movies.

An overinvested Deadpool movie would simply lose its flavor.

However, Fox's budget of less than 60 million US dollars is really too low.

Nanaya felt that 70 million US dollars should be enough, which would ensure the quality of the movie while making the crew's budget less tight.

"Well, that's it."

Nanaya put Deadpool's report on the top, planning to discuss the project with Ryan Reynolds in two days.

Ever since his failed performance in "Wolverine", this guy has been thinking about how to avenge his failure.

This time, the "Deadpool" project was also submitted by him and Hugh Jackman.

This did not surprise Nanaya, as Uncle Hugh was well-known for his warm-heartedness and willingness to help.

"Next, this..."

Nanaya picked up a document and looked through it carefully.

This document is a report written by an employee of the [See Moon] game department.

It's about the recently launched mobile game "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

At the beginning of this month, the official mobile game of "Madoka Magica" "Magic Record" was finally officially launched.

As a new mobile game that requires long-term operation, the game will naturally encounter various problems at the beginning of its launch.

It also takes time to operate this game well.

But these minor flaws can't stop the enthusiasm of players at all.

Although the movie has just been released, the popularity of "Madoka Magica" is far from fading.

Although the game operator clearly stated that the story this time is not centered around the five-member group.

But after all, the game's plot is officially released, and it is a real story about a magical girl that exists in the world of "Madoka Magica".

Therefore, after the game started to be promoted, it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the majority of fans.

After all, it is the official game of the current box office champion in film history, and its audience is still very wide.

Although the Japanese card drawing game mechanism discouraged many people, it also gave birth to countless sows.

Although the operation had already implemented the five-man team when the server was launched.

But apart from the pigtailed version of Homura Akemi that was given away, only Madoka was UP in the card pool.

Everyone knows the shipment rate of Japanese mobile games. In order to protect the interests of players, the operators have set up a minimum guarantee mechanism.

But if you want to draw an SRR card without UP from the card pool, I believe everyone who has played this kind of game understands the difficulty of this precise extraction.

Naturally, some people quit because they couldn't bear the financial pressure.

But there are still some people who stay by relying on their strong financial ability.

These people will have a unified title in the future - krypton gold sows.

In addition to these big spenders, there are naturally also those who only spend a small amount of money for one or two characters, as well as those who play for free and only watch the plot.

Thanks to the efforts of so many players from all parties, the first month's revenue of "Magic Record" reached more than 80 million US dollars.

This is really more profitable than robbing money!

Although "Magic Record" also has various other operating costs such as channel sharing, publicity and promotion expenses, etc.

However, the commercial value of this game still far exceeds people's expectations.

Some people even said that if this game can continue to operate and develop, wouldn't Washimine Entertainment have at least hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every month?

Nanaya certainly knew that this statement was definitely too optimistic.

After all, the monthly revenue of a pay-to-win mobile game depends entirely on whether the cards in the pool are popular.

Without the support of powerful new cards, even the best pay-to-win mobile game will have very ugly monthly revenue.

But the popularity of "Magic Record" also allows people to see many possibilities.

As a result, some employees have already made suggestions to Nanaya.

Since "Madoka Magica" can make a lot of money by releasing mobile games.

Then there is another IP type in our Washimine series, the Moon family, which has a large business and many characters.

Why can't we copycat and make money through this type of game?
