Silicon Valley

After all, the news about Henry was just an entertainment topic. Henry asked the Internet to block it, and gradually, people began to forget about it.

Before long, Christmas came.

Americans like to go on vacation at this time, and Henry took his family to Hawaii for vacation.

And Blizzard released its first online game "World of Warcraft" on Christmas Day. This game is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. And heroes, World of Warcraft has a complete historical background timeline. Players take risks in World of Warcraft, complete tasks, new adventures, explore unknown worlds, conquer monsters, etc.

The game's promotional video was released on the Internet three or four months ago. The high-definition graphics, cool characters, and interesting gameplay have attracted countless players all at once.

"It's so much fun just watching the promotional video, as expected of Blizzard!"

"Just this 3D game screen, it's really awesome, it can definitely blow up all other online games!!!"

"..."

Countless people were still worried that Blizzard would skip the ticket again, but this time it didn't. On Christmas Day, "World of Warcraft" was officially launched on the Firefly game platform. Within a day, the number of registered players reached 10 million, and the number of paying users reached 1 million.

However, playing "World of Warcraft" must have relatively high computer configuration requirements, and many players get stuck while playing.

"I'm dizzy, the game is so fun, but it's an old card!"

"Yes, I am the same. Blizzard officially said that "World of Warcraft" has a 3D high-definition quality. If the computer configuration is not good, it will freeze. Therefore, Blizzard officially recommends using Apple's iMac and MacBook computers!"

"iMac and MacBook are so expensive! In order to play games, I have to buy an Apple computer, I'm sick!"

"In order to play games, I risked everything, isn't it just an Apple computer? At worst, I will eat instant noodles for a few months!"

"..."

Although "World of Warcraft" has high requirements for computer configuration, some people have retreated, but more people have become "World of Warcraft" players. At the same time, under the influence of "World of Warcraft", the sales of iMac and MacBook increased greatly. A week later, more than 100,000 teenagers went to Williams store to buy an Apple computer.

Given that "World of Warcraft" requires relatively high computer configuration, only the United States has opened the game. However, in just one week, "World of Warcraft" has more than 30 million registered users and 5 million paying users, which shocked the world! ! !

Media from all over the United States said: ""World of Warcraft" has become a phenomenon-level game in the United States. As long as gamers who like to surf the Internet, they are all discussing "World of Warcraft"!"

"Blizzard produced, must be excellent! "World of Warcraft" is amazing!"

Blizzard has released good games one after another, and people have respected it as the world's top game production company, with hundreds of millions of fans around the world! The current "StarCraft", "Warcraft" and "Diablo" are still the top ten most popular games in the game industry rankings so far! And precisely because of the existence of Blizzard, game competition has gradually become an acceptable full-name competitive sport.

In addition, with the background of "Warcraft", Henry also had people develop DOTA, which is a multiplayer real-time battle RPG game, which can support 10 people to connect to the game at the same time. The game is divided into two camps. Players need to operate heroes and destroy the opponent's ruins to win the final victory, similar to LOL games! Once DOTA was launched, it quickly became popular all over the world and became a must-have game for Internet cafes. So far, the number of players and users has exceeded 120 million!

"Start the "World of Warcraft" movie project!" Henry played the game for a while, and then gave an order to let Blizzard and Galaxy Films cooperate to create the "World of Warcraft" series of movies!

It was rumored in the previous life that the "World of Warcraft" series of movies would be created, but it has not been filmed for a long time. Later, the players of "World of Warcraft" left one by one. At this time, it was filmed, and the value of IP was greatly reduced. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, Henry plans to spend about two years to create the "World of Warcraft" movie, and at that time, it will also coincide with the hottest time for the "World of Warcraft" game! How should I put it, there are a large number of players going back to support it!

In fact, Henry not only wanted to shoot "World of Warcraft", but also wanted to shoot "StarCraft".

The race wars among Terrans, Protoss, and Zerg are also very interesting. However, the scene is grand and huge, and the special effects need to be more awesome! This film is shot well and definitely rivals the Star Wars series!

In this way, a new ace series of films can be added to Galaxy Films.

At present, Galaxy Films has the most series of movies in the world, including "Jurassic Park", "Star Wars", "Transformers", "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean", Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Terminator, 007, The Fast and the Furious, Resident Evil ", "The Matrix", "Toy Story", "Shrek", "Mission: Impossible", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Ice Age" and so on, only filming a series of films every year makes other film companies jealous Die!

"Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings", which were released last year, swept the world at the box office, taking in US$3.04 billion and US$1.15 billion respectively, shocking the industry! Especially "Harry Potter", because this IP is related to Henry, so fans all over the world pay special attention to it. The movie has not yet been released, and all movie tickets are sold out within a week! The global box office is extremely shocking, far surpassing "Titanic"!

Of course, this kind of success cannot be replicated by others. Who made Henry so famous, and "Harry Potter" is his famous work. The sales volume of books alone has reached more than 6 billion copies, which has exceeded the 5 billion copies of "Quotations from Mao ~ Ze Dong". It ranks second in the world, after the Bible.

In addition to box office sales, peripheral products are also very popular, especially costume props, such as magic robes, magic wands, broomsticks, etc., during the time when the movie was released, the supply was in short supply!

A senior Wall Street analyst commented that the IP of "Harry Potter" alone may be worth tens of billions of dollars!

Because of Henry's Golden Finger, he brought all kinds of high-quality IP to Yinhe Film Company, and other film companies will suffer. Galaxy Film Company releases its own films every month, and most of the films released in the same period are crushed, which greatly weakens the strength of these film companies! As soon as there was any news from the Galaxy Film Company, the entire Hollywood was in a panic. It can be seen from this that they are afraid of what the Yinhe film company will be like!
