Chapter 251: Different CG
"This is our next main project?"
In the Dawn and Daybreak teams, all the team leaders gathered together, looking at the tasks assigned to them in shock.
After more than a year, they are finally going to make the second online game of Honghuang.
And it's such an amazing game.
Hundreds of people compete on the same stage, but only one is chosen.
What kind of scene is this?
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a gameplay.”
"It's amazing! The competitiveness is simply amazing!"
“And it perfectly avoids the issue of fairness.”
“It’s no problem for this plan to win a design award.”
As game makers, they naturally have a vision for games and can see at a glance that this plan is extraordinary.
And this time we are using the strength of two teams to jointly produce it.
It is obviously a top priority project.
A lot of publicity and promotion resources will be invested at that time.
The game sold well.
Won’t the bonuses come pouring in?
The more they thought about it, the more motivated the employees became. They began to make preparations and also tried out how much help the AI program could bring to them.
As for Old Song and Old Li.
They run around everywhere to finalize the publicity and promotion resources.
As their second online game, they had to build up momentum in advance.
"Boss Song! Twenty million, sales have exceeded twenty million!"
At this moment, a cry of surprise rang out among the Dawn team.
Old Song, who was arranging the work, turned around and said, "What's wrong? Why are you yelling like that? What's 20 million?"
"No, it's the sales of Red Dead Redemption, which just broke 20 million!"
The employee's voice was so loud that it spread throughout the entire office area, causing countless people to look up and focus in this direction.
"Twenty million so soon?"
Old Song came over in surprise and took a look at the data on the computer. Sure enough, the sales data started with 2.
More than three months.
Twenty million sales!
Even though he was calm enough, he couldn't stop his breathing from trembling.
This game has earned back its investment through sales of tens of millions.
Now the sales volume has doubled to 20 million.
That means a net profit of 2.5 billion!
Half a year.
2.5 billion!
Just the 0.5% dividend from the position of director that Chen Lin gave him was enough to earn him over 10 million yuan.
It’s higher than his annual salary!
I'm afraid those people with the same position in large domestic companies would be jealous after hearing this.
"Old Song, I just heard someone say that the sales of Red Dead Redemption have reached 20 million?"
Old Li, who received the news, also hurried over from a distance, full of anticipation.
Although the dividend he received was not as high as that of Old Song, he still got at least several million. How could he not be happy?
Not to mention the employees below, who were also looking at each other excitedly at this moment.
They can't compare with these two big guys, but they will definitely get a year-end bonus, at least much higher than last year.
The entire office area was suddenly filled with a festive atmosphere.
"That's enough. It's only 20 million. He seems like he has never seen the world before. Maybe he can make an effort later and break through 30 million or even 50 million."
Old Song had a smile on his face and was in a very good mood.
People in their line of work make money from projects.
The more money a project makes, the happier you will be and the more motivated you will be.
This is also the reason why Honghuang has always been so vigorous and united.
With a boss like this who helps everyone make money, who wouldn’t want to follow him wholeheartedly?
"Haha, just brag, it's still 50 million. If you can really get it, I will treat the whole company to a three-day trip during the year-end holiday!"
Lao Li is obviously a person who is easily satisfied.
A sales volume of 50 million is too far-fetched for him, and the number that can be achieved on the market can be counted on one hand.
To really be able to achieve it.
Not to mention three days, he even booked a week's trip!
"That's what you said, and everyone heard it."
Old Song looked around and was immediately greeted with cheers and boos.
Fifty million sales, that’s really a bold dream.
They only dared to dream of 30 million.
Is this what it’s like to be a director?
Seeing that the team was getting more and more noisy, Lao Song raised his hand to suppress them: "Alright, alright, let's all get back to work. Remember to announce this news to the publicity department and promote it together with the new game poster."
Sales exceeded 20 million in three months.
This gimmick is just right for promoting the new game.
I have to say it appeared just in time.
When the employees got back on track, Lao Li said:
"Mr. Chen just told me that Dungeon Fighter is almost one year old, and he asked you to arrange some anniversary events to reach the highest online player count."
"Do you want to strive for the highest level? Okay, I'll go down and arrange it." Old Song nodded in agreement.
The two discussed the production of the new game for a while, then returned to their teams and made preparations.
…
Not far away.
In the boss's office.
After explaining everything, Chen Lin was now leaning on a recliner with a conflicted look on his face.
“Which CG should I choose?”
As he murmured, he slid his fingers lightly, and the movie animation on the CG custom interface also slid along with it.
These are all relatively well-known film and television works in previous lives.
But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find one that matched "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
The similar films "Battle Royale", "The Hunger Games" and "The Hunt" are all pretty good, but the content is too bloody, with all kinds of dismemberment and explosion scenes.
Although the review here is a little more relaxed, this level of review probably wouldn't pass in China.
Moreover, he only uses it to promote the game, which focuses on competition and gun combat. He doesn't want people to think that it is a violent game about killing people for fun.
If it is taken off the shelves before it even goes online, I will have no place to cry.
"Looks like I have to use that trick again."
Chen Lin's eyes moved upwards and fell on the self-made CG option.
When we first filmed the "Monster Hunter" movie, we used homemade CG.
This has a very big advantage.
That means he is not picky about the actors, anyone, including Lao Song and Lao Li, can play the role.
Moreover, it can perfectly fit the game content, or simply use game materials to generate the plot, which gives game players a strong sense of immersion.
This is also the most traditional promotional CG.
But there is a problem.
How can I trick Lao Song into playing the lead role...
Ring, ring, ring——
Just as I was thinking about it, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Chen Lin picked up the phone and saw that it was the old man calling, so he immediately put it to his ear to answer it.
"Hey, Lin, I heard from Lao Ma that you had someone arrange some kind of water channel promotion for him?"
As soon as the call was connected, the old man's voice rang out.
"It's channel promotion..." Chen Lin was full of black lines, "I asked Manager Shen to do that, what's wrong?"
"Oh! That was just something I said yesterday. Why did you take it seriously? This channel promotion must have cost a lot of money, right?"
There was worry in the old man's voice.
Although he only came to the city for a few days to visit his grandson and catch up with old friends, he did not want to cause trouble for Chen Lin.
So he rarely comes to the studio building to disturb.
"It's okay, that thing doesn't cost much money, it's just a by-product." Chen Lin's lips curled up into a smile unconsciously.
This old man still likes to worry about things.
He shook his head, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up: "By the way, old man, I'm going to make a movie recently, and I'm in need of a veteran soldier from the battlefield, do you want to act in it?"
"Movies? I'm not a big star, what kind of movies can I make?"
"If I say I can, then I can. Don't you like watching anti-Japanese war movies the most? Now you are not happy to be a veteran for once?"
"Do you really want me to take the photo? Will it be too conspicuous?" The old man was obviously tempted.
“No, it’s just a few minutes of footage. Let’s shoot some first and see the effect.” Chen Lin said while the iron was hot.
The call from the old man suddenly gave him a bold idea.
Since he doesn't pick actors, why doesn't he let the players join in the filming?
If only a CG movie could be made.
That should be very interesting, right?
When it comes to promoting CG, no one says you have to follow the rules.
"Okay, I have to say that we can't shoot for too long. I haven't taken care of the vegetable garden at home for a few days."
"Don't worry about the family. I've already contacted Aunt Zhang to ask her to help take care of the kids. It's a rare trip to the city, so you have to stay a few more days. Then you can bring some gifts back to Aunt Zhang."
Anyway, the distance between the two places is not too far.
At worst, I can just drive the old man back when the time comes.
Come to the city more often, are you still worried that he won't be able to adapt to the environment?
really.
After much persuasion.
The old man finally agreed to go back after finishing the film.
For this purpose, Chen Lin also promised to give the old man several roast ducks and several sets of women's clothes and shoes as gifts to bring back to his hometown.
After getting the consent, the old man hung up the phone with satisfaction.
That smug expression made Lao Ma and others nearby stunned.
"Old Chen, you weren't talking to Chen Lin on the phone just now, were you?"
Old Ma opened his mouth and finally couldn't help asking.
The employees of Singularity Studio tilted their ears, all looking like they were eavesdropping.
You have to know that he is the boss of Honghuang Studio, a big shot in the gaming industry, and he is not someone that little Karamis like them can get in touch with.
But now he suddenly heard someone talking to him on the phone, loudly negotiating terms for a few roast ducks, which completely shattered his three views.
But the old man didn't notice their expressions, and boasted, "Who else could it be except that brat? He asked me to make a movie for him and play a veteran in the battlefield. He really doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young."
Western Giant Movie?
CG movie!
Lao Ma and others who reacted were shocked.
Honghuang is going to shoot a new CG movie!
Doesn’t that mean that a new game has started production?
Big news!
This is definitely big news!
Moreover, the fact that he did not mind them speaking directly meant that he tacitly agreed that they would know the news.
For large companies, this kind of news is irrelevant.
But for them, it is very likely to be the future direction of the industry. This is a reminder that Honghuang specially left for them!
"I really envy you, Old Chen, for having such a grandson. If my kid could have one-tenth... no, one-hundredth of Chen Lin's ability, I wouldn't have to run out to make money at such an old age."
After the shock, Lao Ma felt more emotional.
We are all grandchildren of the same generation. Look at others and then look at yourself. Why is there such a big gap?
I have to beat that guy up again when I go back tonight!
"What is there to be envious of? You make me feel like you are taking advantage of me. If you continue like this, I won't come here again." The old man said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Okay, okay, never mind that. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't even have anyone to talk to."
"That's more like it."
The old man's expression softened, and he gradually revealed a look of reminiscence: "When we were almost unable to hold on, it was you who helped us get through it. At that time, Lin had just started college and had a very high fever. He almost died. I remember it clearly."
"Yes, I heard you say that." Old Ma nodded, "It's a pity that I was out of town at the time and couldn't make it back. In the blink of an eye, six years have passed, and Lin has become something great."
"So, that's what Lin owes you. He doesn't need to know these things, but I have to pay it back for him."
The old man's voice was full of emotion and determination.
Looking at his appearance, Lao Ma looked away.
It was as if we had brought back the days when we dug out bird nests and blew up cow dung together.
Although those days were simple, they were also their happiest times.
now.
They are old too...
"Old man, it's three o'clock. We should go back."
At this time, Shen Shimu's voice came from outside.
The two people who were originally immersed in the past gradually came back to their senses.
"Is it three o'clock so soon? Well, let's go back first. I'll come to have tea with you another day, Lao Ma When I finish filming the movie, I'll make sure you'll be envious to death."
"Go away, it's just a movie."
Old Ma said sourly.
Others may not know, but he knows it very well.
How awesome are the movies produced by Honghuang.
This old guy probably doesn’t even know what the prehistoric CG movie means.
