Silicon Valley

After receiving Henry's order, Williams Super Materials immediately formed a team to study the desert sand!

Because the stakes were so high, Henry took it so seriously that he set up a video conference with the development team.

Henry took the lead and said: "There is no country in the world that uses desert sand to build houses, because the sand is too fine to meet the requirements of building materials! But I just don't believe it, and I always firmly believe that technology can change everything, technology can Let desert sand become a very good building material! All of you here will be the creators of this great vision! Well, guys, do you have any good ideas on how sand can be turned into a building material? I have to It is said that a good research direction is very important!"

After Henry finished speaking, everyone made speeches one after another.

One of them said: "Your Majesty, the most likely way to meet your request is to develop a special adhesive according to the characteristics of the fine sand in the desert!"

As soon as the voice fell, another person immediately added: "Yes, developing adhesives is a good way. However, the seawater underground pipeline will be built in the desert in the future. We all know that seawater is alkaline, and the sand is stained with SH water." It will become alkaline, and the house with alkaline is harmful to the human body. Therefore, the special adhesive we want to develop must also neutralize the alkaline. In other words, the adhesive and sand, seawater combine to form a reliable building material!"

"Yes, that's right!" Everyone agreed.

After listening to their discussion, Henry also thought it was a good research plan!

"Okay, then study according to this!" Henry nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The research direction of turning sand into treasure has been set in this way, and it will take time to verify whether it is successful or not.

Right now, Atari's VR glasses are very popular, and there are many games on them, the most popular of which is "UFO Wars", which was selected as the most popular game in 2008 by Time magazine. In fact, the price of VR glasses is too expensive, and it will cause dizziness after a long time, so not many people use them. At this time, the media all believed that the era of PC games was coming to an end. Under the double attack of mobile phones and VR glasses, PC games would struggle! ! !

Some game magazines even said that companies engaged in PC game development do not transform or die!

Of course, the decline of PC is an indisputable fact, but it is not as crazy as the media said. In Henry's view, PC games always have a place. It is different from other mobile games and VR games. When players listen to the sound of "popping" from typing on the keyboard, they can't help but feel the incomparable pleasure and smoothness. The sense of operation is very enjoyable! At least in Henry's opinion, he enjoyed it very much!

The previous "League of Legends" LOL was first released in the United States in April 2009, and it was already 2011 when it spread to China. Most of the main creators of the game are from Blizzard Games, but for some reason, they left Blizzard successively and joined Riot-Games. As for how popular the game "League of Legends" is, Henry has traveled through time in 2015, and he is the most clear. Even many rich people and celebrities have formed their own game teams, such as Wang Sicong, Jay Chou and others... Henry I also like to play "Rolling, Rolling", and maybe I will pull Kailina, Ulysses, Helen, Violet and others into my team, have fun and relax!

In this life, Henry took control of Blizzard, so naturally he would not let "League of Legends" become a product of other game companies.

At noon on October 1, 2008, Blizzard held a press conference, announcing that the new work "League of Legends" LOL will be released globally in one month, that is, on November 1!

"Blizzard produced, must be a boutique!"

The name "Blizzard" is a gold-lettered signboard, as long as it develops games, it will definitely arouse the crazy pursuit of Blizzard game fans!

At this time, the players were very excited when they heard that Blizzard was about to release a new game, and they all logged on to Blizzard's official website to watch the press conference video and learn about the situation. On the same day, the promotional video of "League of Legends" came out, and the exquisite character modeling and cool skills attracted countless players at once.

In addition, LOL has invited popular celebrities to endorse, such as Taylor Swift in the European and American markets, and Girls’ Generation in the Asian market...

On November 1st, tens of millions of players were waiting in front of their computers, just waiting for Blizzard's official website to open the "League of Legends" game download channel!

Diego At 9 o'clock in the morning, the download channel of "League of Legends" was officially opened. In just 1 minute, 10,000 people downloaded it, which shocked the media and the game industry! Blizzard has used the P2P downloading technology. After that, players who start to download games do not need to download games from Blizzard's server, but can directly download games from other players' computers, which greatly relieves the pressure on the server!

At 9 o'clock that night, the number of global downloads of "League of Legends" exceeded 100 million, reaching 103.5 million, which is really jaw-dropping. However, considering that this is a game developed by Blizzard, it is not surprising. Now Blizzard is at the pinnacle of the enterprise, "StarCraft", "Diablo", "Warcraft", "World of Warcraft", which game is not a mess, it has accumulated countless popularity and cultivated a lot of people. Coupled with the extensive promotion of "League of Legends", players are already looking forward to League of Legends. Everyone wants to download and play the game as soon as possible!

LOL is easier to play than Dota, and many elementary school students can be seen playing in Internet cafes.

Ten days later, various advertisements appeared on the Internet.

"You only see my score, but you don't see my efforts, you have your skin, I have my hero, you laugh at me for having nothing, not worthy of LOL, I pity you for always ranking, you can belittle ours Technology, we will prove whose era this is. Single people are doomed to travel alone. Questions and ridicules are always inevitable on the road, but so what, even if you cheat your teammates to death, you must cheat beautifully. I am a primary school student, and I speak for myself !"

"You only see my demeanor of being crushed by the top laner, but you don't see the depression of being caught by the wild. You have your Noxus guillotine, and I have my Demacia justice. I will prove the killing and demolition of the tower I can do everything. The road of super god is destined to be a lonely journey, and your white eyes and ridicule are indispensable. But what if I have only one madman, the opposite side will shudder. I am gay Lun, and I speak for myself .”

"You only see my purple light, but you don't notice that I'm here to save you. You support three ways, I lower my head and top the lane, you deny my output, and I save your remaining blood. You laugh at me for not attacking and not enough lanes Violence, I pity you for not understanding the fun of being a solo dog. You can complain that you don’t join the team and take the line alone. I will prove that the 41st line is my uniqueness. The ultimate move is destined to be a lonely journey. Selling yourself and saving your teammates is indispensable on the way , but so what, even if you really die like a dog, as long as Twilight is still there, I will support you. I am Shen, and I speak for myself."

"..."

These weird endorsement advertisements were created by Henry casually, but they quickly spread on the Internet like viral publicity! At the end of November, "League of Legends" swept the world, with 450 million players, becoming a phenomenal game! ! !

At this moment, Henry suddenly had an urge to make "League of Legends" into a movie! No... not only "League of Legends", Henry also wants to put "StarCraft", "Diablo", "Warcraft" and "World of Warcraft" on the screen! These five games are all super IPs, and turning them into movies is bound to be very popular.

Marvel started from the comic IP, and now the Marvel movies have exploded, creating huge value. To a large extent, Blizzard movies start from game IP, which can also create huge value.

Just do it!

Henry has always been swift and resolute in his work, so he immediately called Galaxy Films and asked them to cooperate with Blizzard to create a series of Blizzard game movies!

So on December 1, Galaxy Films and Blizzard established a joint venture company - Blizzard Pictures, with a shareholding ratio of 4:6. At 5 o'clock that afternoon, the two companies jointly held a press conference to announce the establishment of Blizzard Pictures.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

The film industry expressed their shock and envy. Blizzard's game IP is a super IP with high popularity and popularity. Obviously, Yinhe Film Company has got another hen that can lay golden eggs.

Of course, at this moment, the happiest people are the fans of Blizzard games. When they hear that their favorite game will be made into a movie, they almost jump up in excitement.

"Oh my God, Blizzard's game is going to be made into a movie, it's so exciting! It's better to shoot "StarCraft" first, I'm really looking forward to the battle between Terran, Zerg, and Protoss in the movie, it must be amazing Magnificent!"

"Filming "StarCraft" is indeed very interesting. The various races, arms and architectural styles have already made people look forward to it!"

"I think it's better to do World of Warcraft first! For the Horde!!!"

"Fuck, for the Alliance!!!"

"Make "League of Legends", long live Demacia!!!"

"..."

On Blizzard's official website, millions of players have left messages, hoping that Blizzard Pictures can make their favorite games into movies.

In fact, which movie to make is also a key issue for Blizzard Pictures.

This is the first film of Blizzard Pictures, it is very important and will have a great influence on the follow-up works! If the first movie is not made well, audiences and players will be less willing to buy the subsequent movies!

Through market surveys and website statistics, Blizzard Pictures decided to strike while the iron was hot and shoot "League of Legends".

Henry doesn't have much opinion on which movie to make, but what he requires is that shooting a movie must be the same as making a game, and must strive for excellence. However, he is particularly fond of the script of the movie, and believes that the script is the core of the whole movie! "Find the best screenwriting team! Queue is better than lameness. If you don't have a good script, you won't make a movie!" Henry said on the phone.
