October 31 that the "Navigator's Journey" 2024 High-quality Overseas Forum for Chinese Enterprises was held at Zhongguancun International Innovation Center on October 30. Wu Dan, CEO of Hero Games, the first investor and co-producer of "Black Myth: Wukong", was interviewed.

When asked how long it took to make the decision to invest in "Black Myth: Wukong", Wu Dan said: "At that time, the team talked with us about making "Black Myth: Wukong", maybe only two or three minutes of chatting, and they had already decided to give you another 100 million to do this, and the rest of the time was talking about how to do it, which was a quick decision. ”
Wu Dan also revealed that he met this team as early as 2018, and first invested in the company (Game Science), and Game Science made 2 unsuccessful products in a row (IT House Note: "Hundred Generals" and "Art of War: Red Tide"), and then the money burned out, so he invested again.
Wu Dan said: "Because I was also in the VC industry, many people in China are impatient to invest and look at the current ROI. But to make game investment, it needs to spiral, it needs to iterate, and often a lot of things can be found in failure. ”

When asked how he would choose if "Black Myth: Wukong" and a certain game in the West were linked, Wu Dan responded that "I won't choose anything". He added, "Journey to the West is all-encompassing, but it is Chinese culture, and it is difficult to compare with anything else in the world."
