Chapter 229: Quantum Mechanics in Undecided Times
After the plan was decided, the entire prehistoric world became busy again.
Lao Li was responsible for setting up the production team, while Lao Song helped with some operational matters and some simple tasks that required manpower.
This game is so important that it has to be done well.
Even without Chen Lin's instructions, the two of them were very concerned and immediately arranged for people to start preparatory work after receiving the plan.
The members of the Dawn Team were particularly excited. After waiting for so long, they finally had a new project to work on. These were all huge bonuses.
only.
When the employees got their assigned work, their expressions changed one by one.
"What? You want us to build a solar system?"
"Quantum mechanics, space-time entanglement, dimensional ascension... it's over, it's over, why can't I understand any of this?"
"Hourglass Binary, Sky-Breaking Star, Deep Giant Star, Blackthorn Star...are all these planets going to be made into 3D?"
“But these planet settings are really great!”
"It seems like the VR team has also joined in. Are you sure it won't make players sick from 3D?"
Exclamations rang out among the various groups because this design was so special.
Not only does it contain a wealth of knowledge that they don't know about, it also created a whole new galaxy, and it runs perfectly, which is simply outrageous.
What's even more outrageous is the thick stack of game text designs. Even the copywriting team was full of questions after reading it, and they even said they needed to grow a brain.
"When did Mr. Chen become so knowledgeable about aerospace technology?"
After reading the text, even Lao Li looked as if he had seen a ghost.
With his bald head that only knows how to install codes, it would be strange if he could understand these texts, not to mention that they don't even contain knowledge about quantum entanglement.
Fortunately, the plan given by Mr. Chen was detailed enough, so they didn’t need to understand the meaning of it, they just had to follow the requirements.
In addition, the universe is already vast, and only the internal structure of the planet is relatively complex, so the production difficulty is much lower than that of Red Dead Redemption.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get started after this discussion."
Following Lao Li's calls, the planning, art, and programming groups finished their discussions and began to work on their assigned tasks.
The entire Dawn team instantly became busy.
…
And at this time.
Inside the reception room.
Chen Lin also met an unexpected visitor with Lao Song.
The new head of Juying’s China branch is Tang Jun.
A gentle man with glasses and thinning hair.
"Mr. Chen, this is our first meeting. I would like to apologize to you for the rudeness and neglect of our former director Carter. I hope you can let bygones be bygones."
At the beginning, Tang Jun apologized for Carter's previous offense without hesitation, and his attitude was very sincere.
"Mr. Tang is Chinese?" Chen Lin was very surprised.
He had heard the news of Carter's resignation a long time ago, but he didn't expect that someone would replace him so soon, and that he was a Chinese.
But what surprised him even more was that the other party came to visit them just a few days after taking office.
Everyone in the entire gaming industry knows how bad the relationship between Honghuang and Juying is. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as incompatible as water and fire.
There is only one possibility why the other party chose to visit them at this time and apologize in person.
"Yes, I am an overseas Chinese, sent here from the headquarters to be in charge of the domestic operations."
"Before, we used the wrong people and caused a great impact on your studio, so I wanted to come and apologize, hoping to restore the cooperation between our two companies."
Obviously, after suffering a setback, Juying also discovered the difference in China, and specially sent an overseas Chinese who was familiar with the local culture to take charge of the situation.
It can also be seen that this man named Tang Jun is extremely capable. He kept a low profile from the beginning, did not rely on his talent to be arrogant, and gave Honghuang enough face.
but.
It would be too simplistic to think that this grudge can be wiped out with just a few simple words.
"I don't deserve Mr. Tang's apology. You guys are a big family with a lot of business. How can our small studio compare to that?"
Chen Lin had no intention of being polite at all. He wanted to see to what extent the other party could give in.
Even Old Song, who was standing by, wanted to say something but hesitated, but was signaled by his eyes to stay silent, and the reception room immediately became quiet.
"Haha, Mr. Chen is joking."
Unexpectedly, Tang Jun did not react to this sentence, but continued:
"This time it was indeed our people who made the mistake first and neglected Mr. Chen, which led to a series of events that followed. So in order to make up for the losses of your studio, we brought some compensation, which we guarantee will satisfy you."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Chen Lin became interested.
Among businessmen, it is nothing more than profit.
The situation between them and Juying has not yet reached the point of life and death, and the guy who made them unhappy has already been fired.
If the benefits offered are great enough, it is not impossible to negotiate.
Otherwise, the loss of abandoning the host platform will be very huge.
Seeing his reaction, Tang Jun on the opposite side also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just have room to maneuver.
I'm afraid he'll be the type that won't listen to anything and won't change no matter what you say.
Thinking of this, he immediately said, "I heard that Steam gives Honghuang 80% of its share. Then I will be the boss and increase Honghuang's share on our platform to 85%, and provide exclusive promotional resources. What do you think?"
85%?
Chen Lin took a deep breath.
Even Old Song next to him was a little moved.
This is 5% more profit than Steam, which is the highest share available in the industry.
Even at Suoni and Ren Tiandi's side, they only got the most ordinary 70%.
Don’t underestimate this 5%. If it is a game of the level of “Red Dead Redemption”, it would be equivalent to hundreds of millions in revenue.
No matter how rich they are, they can't just give hundreds of millions, not to mention that they have other games to release in the future.
This Tang Jun is indeed much more capable than the previous Carter.
After exchanging glances with Old Song, Chen Lin smiled and said, "Since President Tang is so sincere, we at Honghuang certainly don't mind cooperating again. After all, those things that happened before were caused by your predecessor. I believe that such things will not happen again after President Tang takes over."
Old fox!
Tang Jun cursed inwardly.
It is said that Boss Honghuang has a tough personality and a bad temper.
How can he be a reckless man at all when his expression changes so quickly?
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the young man in front of him was the one who caused them to suffer such a great loss.
Now meet the real person.
He finally understood why that idiot Carter lost.
Now that the "misunderstanding" has been resolved, the atmosphere between the two sides has suddenly become harmonious, and they began to talk and laugh about other details of cooperation.
The purpose of Tang Jun's coming here, in addition to making peace with Honghuang, is naturally about the platform login issue of "Red Dead Redemption".
This phenomenal game with sales exceeding 10 million in three days cannot be ignored even by their super-strong team.
Although they have missed the exclusive opportunity and the login rights for the first half of the year, after half a year, this game still has extremely high value and can become one of their flagship games.
This is why he was in a hurry to visit.
"I wonder what game plans your studio has next?"
After finishing what needed to be discussed, Tang Jun immediately asked about Honghuang's plans to see if there were any new games they could get first.
"We do have a plan. President Tang should have heard about it. It is the sponsorship and investment promotion recently issued by the Ministry of Aerospace, and we have also participated in it."
"Aerospace Ministry?" Tang Jun looked surprised. "If I remember correctly, there are many well-known game manufacturers competing for these places. Honghuang must have invested a lot of money to get them, right?"
A national-level investment promotion like this would cost at least several hundred million.
The production cost of a game, plus this money, may not be earned back.
The most important thing is.
There are only three months left until the rocket launch.
It is impossible to make a game of the level of "Red Dead Redemption" in such a short time.
It's a clear case of high cost and low return, and there are also a lot of similar competing products.
At most, it is just to earn an official title.
"A lot of money has indeed been invested, and the game has already started production." Lao Song on the side continued.
"Then I will wait for good news from Honghuang."
Tang Jun smiled. Of course he was going to win this game.
It’s not that I think it can make a lot of money, but I want to use this game to lay the foundation for cooperation with Honghuang. It doesn’t matter even if the performance is very bad at that time.
After discussing the release .
He also stood up and said goodbye to Chen Lin and left Honghuang Studio.
…
"Unfortunately, I was unable to get any information about AI."
Looking at Tang Jun's back disappearing in the elevator, Old Song said regretfully.
When they were talking just now, he had intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to AI, but unexpectedly the other party did not buy it and did not reveal anything.
"This Tang Jun is no ordinary man. He is very tactful and shrewd. With him around, we can rest assured to cooperate with Juying."
Chen Lin's voice was full of emotion.
This huge headquarters is really ruthless. The head of a region can be replaced at will.
It seems that they attach great importance to the market in Asia.
Or pave the way for AI in advance.
"Let's go, let's make the game first and accumulate more funds before they take action."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Go and see Lao Li and his team’s production progress.
As a result, as soon as I entered the Dawn Team area, Lao Li hurriedly came to meet me.
"Mr. Chen, you came just in time. The people in the art team reported that this monkfish might be a little too big."
"And the sun exploded in 22 minutes, which seems a bit short."
"And more..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked a series of questions, and it was obvious that he was stumped by this weird game plan.
The members of the copywriting team were pulling their hair at this time, looking at the analysis of quantum entanglement and space-time paradox that was like a heavenly book.
They even doubted whether there would be any players to play this game since the threshold to entry was so high.
"Just follow what I marked above."
Chen Lin smiled and said: "Puzzle-solving survival is just one of the ways to play. Since VR is used, planet exploration is also essential. If players don't want to solve puzzles, 22 minutes is enough to visit many places."
"Uh...it seems so."
Old Li finally came to his senses after hearing this.
He has already seen the general design of this game, and it can indeed be made into a solar system sightseeing game .
With the Honghuang engine, it is entirely possible to maximize the graphics performance and attract players with just the different styles of planetary environments!
If you are a deep player, you can also enter various planets to explore and find ways to escape, having the best of both worlds.
"Understood. I'll arrange to adjust the production direction right away."
After saying that, Lao Li quickly drew a few strokes on the plan and marked it.
As the production director, he didn't need to do anything himself, but when he thought about the fact that this game was a state investment, he became restless and decided to supervise the whole process himself, which made him feel more at ease.
"By the way, when you have time, ask the publicity department to promote it in advance. Just follow the normal specifications. Aviation topics have been getting more and more popular recently."
Because the satellite rocket is about to be launched, many people are discussing this matter online.
As a result, the popularity of science fiction and space-themed games and movies has also increased, and they naturally cannot miss this opportunity.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Old Li nodded and left in a hurry.
And then not long after.
A lot of information about the new Honghuang game began to appear on the Internet .
