Chapter 1188: Chapter 638 Feiyue Home Platform Preparing to Launch! (Subscribe Please)_2

Xu Bin explained to Ding Yue.

If a mid-range graphics card is enough to enter the gaming world with the realistic visual effects created by the Feiyue Game Engine, then for gamers, the barrier isn’t that high after all.

Because for anyone who loves gaming, equipping oneself with a mid-range graphics card is the very basic.

Surely no one with a 750ti would still claim to be a hardcore gamer, right?

"That’s fine, later in the meeting this afternoon, I’ll have Pei Gou and the others further optimize the game, striving to enable more players with ordinary graphics cards to also gain entry with the games created by our Feiyue Game Engine."

Ding Yue took a sip of his soup and nodded in agreement.

So, Ding Yue, Xu Bin, and Huang talked while they ate lunch, and once it was finished, there was still some time before the meeting Ding Yue had scheduled for the afternoon. Therefore, Ding Yue went back to the office with Huang and Bin, found a movie, and watched it.

This movie was produced by Penguin Film, featuring a massive number of Internet celebrities—more than twenty in both major and minor roles combined.

The reason Ding Yue chose this particular flagship film from Penguin Film was mainly to assess the strength of his future competitor.

Here, the strength he referred to was not about money. If it was about money, Ding Yue certainly couldn’t hold a candle to even a single finger of Penguin Group.

At least not for now, as there was simply no comparison with Penguin Group’s billion-dollar market value, whereas Ding Yue’s Feiyue Group and Mist City Arts and Science University were only worth upwards of ten billion.

Therefore, the strength Ding Yue was looking at was the capability of Penguin Film and Television to produce movies.

This entertainment-themed movie called "Superstar" was the most-watched film on Penguin Video; it was said to have caused a sensation upon its release.

Why did it create such a stir?

Because the film "Superstar" indeed had an abundance of Internet celebrities, a large number of fans paid for tickets, resulting in an impressive box office turnout.

Of course.

As for how the movie was... Ding Yue had just finished watching it with Huang and Xu Bin. How to rate it?

It met a passing grade.

But it couldn’t be considered outstanding, and could only be described as a carnival for the fans of those Internet celebrities, but such movies are unlikely to reach a wider audience.

Based on Ding Yue’s understanding of Q Entertainment Media over the past two years, their company’s directors and Internet celebrities could at best produce such films.

There were ones with higher ratings, of course, but those were because Q Entertainment Media spent a lot of money to employ top domestic known directors to shoot blockbuster films.

Even then, due to Q Entertainment Media’s "aesthetic," these directors’ reputations declined after shooting blockbuster films invested in by Q Entertainment Media.

"Yue, as long as we maintain a production quality like ’A Bite of Xia Country’ and ’Super Combat Team,’ surpassing Q Entertainment Media in the future shouldn’t be a problem," Xu Bin analyzed the competition between Feiyue Media and Q Entertainment Media from an audience’s perspective.

"The quality level of production is definitely not an issue. Have you guys seen ’Love, Death & Robots’ produced by Feiyue Animation Studios?" Ding Yue asked Huang and Xu Bin with a smile.

"’Love, Death & Robots’? You mean the animated series that was well-made but Bilibili wouldn’t allow it to be aired?" Xu Bin asked curiously.

Xu Bin was aware that the animated series produced by Feiyue Animation Studios was the reason the Feiyue Home streaming media platform was born; it was because this series was initially blocked by Bilibili, which prompted Yue to plan on creating his own platform.

However, although he knew about the series, Xu Bin had not watched it.

"I’ve got it on my computer. Let me treat you guys to the first episode," said Ding Yue with a smile, and then he opened the first episode of "Love, Death & Robots" called "Sunny’s Advantage" on his computer and projected it onto the screen.

Wen Ruohan had already watched ’Love, Death & Robots’ with Principal Ding once, but now that Ding Yue was playing it again, she couldn’t help but want to watch.

Not only that, Wen Ruohan also felt an urge to spoil the story for Director Huang and Director Xu.

This kind of mentality was actually quite normal.

Ordinary people, when they come across an excellent film that no one around them has seen, always can’t help but want to spoil a bit of it while watching.

But Wen Ruohan understood the saying "a moment of spoiling can lead to a fiery aftermath," so in the end, she held herself back, silently standing beside Principal Ding, watching the first episode of "Sunny’s Advantage" with him, Director Huang, and Director Xu.

"This animation style is not bad, Cyberpunk? I love it!"

Huang Youjie was instantly attracted by the animation style of the "Sunny’s Advantage" episode, and from the beginning, he could basically see that this was a future-oriented Cyberpunk theme.

"Wow, neural connections to control giant beasts in underground fighting?"

Huang Youjie was once again amazed and intrigued by the setting of the series.

Following that, the series quickly reached the segment where two giant beasts were fighting, which Xu Bin and Huang Youjie found incredibly thrilling.

The episode wasn’t very long, and there wasn’t a single dull moment, especially during the beast battles that sent adrenaline levels soaring.

There were many twists and turns in the battle, and it was very intense; in the end, Sunny’s monster defeated its opponent, and the scene was even a bit, well, that!

"Damn! That was truly exhilarating!"

Huang Youjie exclaimed.

"Just looked at the progress bar, seems like things are not that simple!"

Xu Bin said calmly.

Ding Yue didn’t speak, continuing to watch with Huang and Bin.

After all, if he were to say something, it might be considered a spoiler.

Very soon, the episode of "Sunny’s Advantage" reached the final part, where the most spectacular twist occurred!

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Sunny was actually that monster? Good Lord, you’ve shocked me for an entire year!"

After watching the whole episode of "Sunny’s Advantage," Huang Youjie was completely flabbergasted.

How could a short animation of just a few minutes be made so fantastically stimulating?

"How about it? This is the production quality of ’Love, Death & Robots.’ With this level, can it compete with Penguin Animation?"

Ding Yue’s lips curved into a smile as he asked Huang and Bin.

"Compete? Is Penguin Animation even worthy?"

Xu Bin shrugged and gave his direct opinion, "Let me be frank, I’ve been watching Penguin Animation for many years, seen their animated movies and series, and none have been anywhere near as exciting as ’Sunny’s Advantage’!"

Seeing the opinions of Huang and Bin, Ding Yue felt reassured.

If he himself thought the animation produced by Feiyue Animation Studio was not bad, then it might just be his own subjective opinion.

But Huang and Bin were viewing it from an audience perspective, and their reviews would likely reflect the broader audience’s ratings in the future.

Right after Ding Yue finished watching "Sunny’s Advantage" with Huang and Bin, Miss An Yujia arrived at the office door, saying she was here to attend the meeting Principal Ding had scheduled for the afternoon.

In a while, the head of the Film and Television Institute, Zhu Youzhao, arrived, followed by Pei Gou and others, who gradually made their way to the Administration Building.

"Let’s go to Conference Room No. 1."

Ding Yue said to everyone.

Then, secretary Wen Ruohan went over and led everyone to Conference Room No. 1.

Principal Ding usually picked Conference Room No. 1 for meetings in the Administration Building because it was more spacious.

Today’s meeting called by Ding Yue had Feiyue Group’s leader Miss An Yujia in attendance, along with a crowd from the Film and Television Institute, Lin Zhirou from the Arts Department, Pei Gou’s game production team, and others.

It was to discuss the upcoming launch of the Feiyue Home streaming media platform.
