Free IP?

When Pei Gou heard this, he was dumbfounded.

IP adaptation rights cost money, albeit an unknown IP might only require a few thousand yuan for game adaptation rights.

But for slightly famous IPs, it would require millions in copyright fees.

As for the hot IPs, it goes without saying - it was rumored that a gaming company spent a whopping 20 million yuan just three months ago to purchase the rights for adapting a popular internet novel into a game.

"Principal Ding, you’re not talking about Three Kingdoms or Journey to the West, are you?"

Pei Gou asked curiously.

The reason there are so many games related to Journey to the West or Three Kingdoms themes in the domestic gaming market is primarily because they are ancient works and their adaptation rights are open for anyone to use.

Therefore, many netizens are bombarded with all sorts of games with a Three Kingdoms theme online.

These games are clearly just cash grabs, the quality of which goes without saying. As for AAA masterpieces, there are none!

"Hahahaha."

At these words, Ding Yue couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then said, "Pei Gou, do I look like the kind of person who would casually make a game using Journey to the West or Three Kingdoms themes just to make easy money?"

"Not at all!"

Pei Gou immediately shook his head.

Other students like Liu Lang and Zhang Tianming also shook their heads and laughed, saying, "Principal Ding has high aspirations, he wouldn’t resort to such money grabs."

In their view, the establishment of Feiyue Games by Principal Ding was not about making money.

Because Principal Ding is already very wealthy, not to mention he would make a lot of money in the fields of healthcare robots and graphene. The gaming sector is just a small piece of the pie.

It seemed that Principal Ding was more likely trying to support the game design program at Mist City Arts and Science University, produce more excellent game designers, and save the somewhat distorted domestic gaming market!

This speculation sounded commendable, but in reality, whether it was Pei Gou, Liu Lang, or even Zhang Tianming they all actually shared these thoughts.

"Exactly."

Ding Yue smiled faintly and nodded, "Since we are making a game, let’s put our hearts into it and create something high-quality and beyond players’ expectations."

"Principal Ding is right!"

When Pei Gou heard Principal Ding say this, he fully supported Principal Ding’s words, instantly becoming one of Principal Ding’s die-hard fans.

Make games!

We should make truly high-quality games, not just casually churn out games to milk money, or design a game that constantly feeds off players’ wallet!

Seeing the students suddenly becoming fiery passionate, Ding Yue felt their pure enthusiasm.

These young people want to improve the state of domestic games.

Ding Yue was very eager to see this.

"The IP I’m giving you guys is one that our Feiyue Group is currently developing. We’ve given it to the Film and Television students, who are developing it under the leadership of Director Su Yangfan."

Ding Yue casually told Pei Gou and the others.

It seemed that Pei Gou understood something, but Liu Lang, Zhang Tianming, and Wang Kaiwei were all confused.

Because as the students of Mist City Arts and Science University, they did not know that the university was currently filming a science fiction film called "Wandering Earth".

"Principal Ding, what’s the IP?"

Liu Lang couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Seeing Pei Gou didn’t immediately ask what the IP was, Ding Yue slightly knit his brows and looked at Pei Gou.

At this moment, Pei Gou thought for a moment and asked, "Principal Ding, I heard that the Film and Television Academy is shooting a science fiction film under the leadership of Director Su Yangfan. So you’re saying you want us to make a science fiction game?"

When Liu Lang, Zhang Tianming, and Wang Kaiwei heard the words "science fiction game," their hearts couldn’t help but tremble.

After so many years of game development, science fiction has always been a niche genre, which undoubtedly adds to the difficulty.

"Exactly!"

Ding Yue didn’t conceal anything, he nodded and said, "It’s a science fiction movie, we call it ’Wandering Earth’. You all must remember this name and keep it confidential. You understand, right?"

After Ding Yue gave the name "Wandering Earth", he seemed to realize something and quickly shot a preventative look at Pei Gou and Liu Lang.

After all, many movies undergo a certain level of commercial confidentiality during filming and at certain stages.

Non-official promotional news must be controlled. Otherwise, if competitors learn about it, it could put them at a disadvantage.

"’Wandering Earth’, the title sounds interesting. What does it represent? Does it mean the earth is wandering in the universe?"

"Liu Lang, earth." Zhang Tianming nudged his classmate Liu Lang next to him and laughed.

Because Liu Lang’s name was homonymous with ’wandering’ from "Wandering Earth", at first everyone thought Principal Ding was calling Liu Lang when he mentioned "Wandering Earth". Does that mean it’s "Liu Lang’s Earth"?

"Yes, wandering, not Liu Lang, as in your name." Ding Yue smiled faintly and continued, "Pei Gou, just as you said earlier, ’Wandering Earth’ indicates that the Earth is wandering in space. However, there is a reason why earth is wandering in space."
