My game is depressing worldwide.

Since Yu Hai wants to experiment with the film and game industry, he also wants to transfer the risks to some extent.

The next strategy is quite simple.

Once you throw out the bait, the other fish will naturally turn into a cichlid.

So Chen Xuan gently tapped the table and said:

"Mr. Yu, you need to understand that the problem is that Strange Cat is having difficulty transforming, and I have provided a feasible direction for transformation. I even helped Strange Cat with its first film and game project."

I won't get any of the profits from the film and game projects. Even if the adaptation is successful, my gains will be limited, but the risks are huge. In this deal, the freakish cat is the biggest beneficiary.

So, I'll say the same thing to you—there's no such thing as a free lunch.

As soon as these words were spoken, a message popped up in the system.

[Defense Penetration Value Detected from the Sea +1]

[Defense Penetration Value Detected from Xiaoming +1]

Little fox.

Yu Hai cursed inwardly, thinking, "She's not so easy to fool."

Many young directors, upon hearing this, begin to lose confidence, even if their creativity and abilities have already been recognized and appreciated.

No wonder they were able to make three independent games, and their latest game, "To the Moon," even became a minor hit.

He glanced at the person beside him.

Yu Xiaoming was a little nervous because of the tense conversation between the two.

I got even angrier.

Look at your classmates, and then look at yourself!

If you had half the skill of Chen Xuan, that little fox, why force you to become an actor?

If your family didn't take care of you, you would have been completely taken advantage of long ago.

Making games? Do you think making games is so easy?

As a result, Yu Xiaoming noticed it with just that one glance.

He hesitated and said, "Dad, there's no need to make things so tense. I think it's necessary to let Xuan'er give it a try. We don't understand the concept of 'movie games' at all."

Yu Hai: ......

That silly son.

Why didn't I create a new account back then?

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent upon their first move.

Yu Hai had spent his entire life in this industry. After hearing Yu Xiaoming explain the concept of "live-action interactive film and game," he knew that this was a profitable business and that his son's roommate was indeed a talented individual.

China is vigorously developing its gaming industry, and the short drama industry is indeed saturated, making it a worthwhile area for transformation.

However, artistic creations do not have blueprints, making it impossible to produce good works by following a set procedure in an absolute sense.

The executor is crucial, which is why the director position in the film and television industry is so highly regarded.

So, long after hearing Yu Xiaoming mention Chen Xuan, his roommate, and after researching the three games, he...

Yu Hai had already made his decision.

Young people with such keen insight, market acumen, and remarkable execution ability are worth investing in.

This 500 million must be spent. It has nothing to do with the silly son anymore, and it has nothing to do with the betting agreement with the family. This is an investment in the young man Chen Xuan. The film and game track is worth paying some tuition to try.

In any case, there will always be a price to pay for seeking transformation.

Yu Hai felt somewhat exhausted.

This is clearly a mutually beneficial deal, where both parties are interested in each other.

It's only natural that everyone wants to gain more benefits.

You silly son, you're even lecturing your old man?

I'll ignore this useless character anymore.

Yu Hai continued to follow his own train of thought, and the two engaged in a heated exchange of words.

The atmosphere seemed tense, but neither side made any definitive statements, and neither side intended to leave.

"In short, such a risk is unacceptable to us. Chen Xuan, you can go back and think about it carefully. If we still can't reach an agreement..." Yu Hai sighed, "then we'll have to look for other cooperation opportunities."

Saying that sentence is tantamount to laying your cards on the table.

Yu Hai picked up his teacup, took a sip, and secretly observed Chen Xuan's expression.

Struggling, hesitant, and somewhat angry.

Yu Hai breathed a sigh of relief; based on experience, this appearance was more than 60% likely to be successful.

These 1.5 little foxes were quite difficult to handle, but the old fox was still one step ahead.

After waiting quietly for a few seconds,

With the resolute determination of a gambler, Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and said:

"I can assume unlimited liability for the 'Invisible Guardian' project, and I have conditions. I promise that the project's net profit will exceed 500 million; if it falls short, I will make up the difference in cash. If it exceeds 600 million, I will take 90% of the profits!"

Yu Hai's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he was overjoyed. This was even better than the best-case scenario he had anticipated.

He thought to himself that everything was settled, but he remained calm and unhurried when he spoke.

"Net profit of 650 million, exceeding the target by 85%."

"This condition is a bit too much." Chen Xuan's face darkened, and he immediately stood up to leave.

"Don't rush me, I haven't finished yet." Yu Hai said in a friendly tone, "I know this condition is very harsh for you, but we can add some binding clauses. If you complete the bet, I can make some concessions on the adaptation project of 'Dumpling Family'."

While the two continued to argue fiercely over the binding terms.

Yu Xiaoming looked bewildered.

What's the matter?

In the beginning, wasn't this a matter between me and my family?

Why does it seem like it has nothing to do with me now?

What happened?

The argument soon ended.

An agreement was ultimately reached that the binding clause would take effect if Chen Xuan fulfilled his performance commitment.

Under the premise that "Dumpling Family" is suitable for anime adaptation.

The total budget for the project was split 30/70 between Asylum Studios and Weird Cats, and the net profit was split 70/30.

The investment made by the Asylum Studio includes the value of the copyright, with any overpayment refunded and any underpayment collected.

Of course, if the money cannot be paid at the time, this binding clause will be void.

After the discussion, Chen Xuan looked dejected, but still asked, "Can we sign the agreement today?"

"Of course you can, but... don't you need to discuss it with your family, or hire a lawyer?"

"Need not."

We arrived at the grotesque cat in the morning, and by the time we finished, it was already evening.

After the agreement was signed.

Chen Xuan's expression, which had been sullen and gambler-like, immediately underwent a subtle change, carrying an ambiguous meaning.

Yu Hai's mouth was practically stretched from ear to ear, and he was thinking to himself that he had hit the jackpot.

Both sides felt they had gotten a great deal.

Yu Hai wanted to host him, but Chen Xuan politely declined.

Once outside the building, Zhou Qian finally couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Yu Xiaoming by the collar and yelled, "What do you mean by this? Brother Xuan came to help you, and you're here to swindle him?!"

Yu Xiaoming was also in a daze.

Throughout the entire day, no matter how much he tried to talk to Chen Xuan or Yu Hai, he only received one sentence.

"I'll tell you when I'm done with this."

"Brother Xuan, are you done with your work now? Can you talk about it?" Yu Xiaoming asked with a bitter face. "Why do I feel like this has nothing to do with me anymore?"

"Yes, of course it's related," Chen Xuan said earnestly. "Without you, where would I get such a huge advantage?"

"Huh?" Yu Xiaoming was stunned for a moment. "I... I have a feeling you're about to go bankrupt?"

"Do you know what the biggest problem is with a businessman like your father?"

"where?"

"He only asked about the specific ideas, but didn't read the script." Chen Xuan glanced at the Weird Cat logo. "His lack of respect for good scripts, coupled with some inappropriate greed, is the biggest reason why he became a money-giving boy."

How strong is the script for "The Invisible Guardian"?

It once had an extremely high score of 9.7 on Douban.

It broke into the mainstream thanks to popular demand, and when the final chapter was released, players overwhelmed the servers.

Even after causing a huge public outcry, the positive review rate is still 86%, with "especially positive" ratings.

That year, it achieved sales of 1.4 million units and total sales exceeding 100 million yuan.

A few years after its release, the interactive movie game's success was short-lived because its quality was so good that imitators lacked the confidence to replicate it.

It wasn't until the explosive popularity of "I'm Surrounded by Beauties" that the industry found a replicable path, which led to the flourishing of film and game industries.

Shen Qingtu stepped forward from behind and said helplessly, "From Iwanna to Go to the Moon, and now to The Invisible Guardian, you've been getting everything for free!"

iwanna gained fame by getting free copies of her game, Jumper, which already had a solid player base.

"To the Moon" was developed at a very low cost by taking advantage of Cui Manzhou's various resources.

Now, with "The Invisible Guardian," they're again trying to freeload off the film and television resources of Weird Cat, but it's uncertain whether they'll succeed, and they've taken quite a few risks.

"How can you call this freeloading!" Chen Xuan rolled his eyes. "I earned it through my acting skills, and this is called making good use of resources."

"Heh, Chen, you freeloader." Shen Qingtu joked while advising, "Take it easy, or you'll regret it for life."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Chen Xuan turned to look at Yu Xiaoming. "You won't be angry if I say this, will you?"

"Why are you angry?" Yu Xiaoming asked somewhat embarrassedly. "You won the bet, which means that the Strange Cat also made a profit, but only a smaller one because of a bad decision."

"Good intentions, then let's get ready."

"What are you preparing?"

"Audition, preparing to play the male lead in 'The Invisible Guardian'."
