Chapter 29: A hunter who has never experienced a cat car is not a good hunter
"It's Mr. Chen. How come you suddenly have time to call me?"
Su Peng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Chen Lin to call him suddenly.
"Nothing, I just want your help with something."
"We are planning to make a CG movie for our next game. I would like to ask what kind of promotional resources you can provide?"
Chen Lin directly stated his purpose.
"CG movie? How big is it? Is the final film ready?"
"It takes about an hour, and it's a 3D special effects movie, so it will take some time to complete the film."
"Hiss..." A sound of inhalation came from the other side. "Mr. Chen, you really gave me a difficult problem. Without a finished film as a reference, it is difficult for me to decide what resources to provide."
"Just follow the highest standards. Our movie will never let you down." Chen Lin spoke with great confidence. "If you find it difficult, I can also look for other companies."
"No! Let me think about it first." Su Peng hurriedly stopped him.
to be honest.
He doesn't know much about the strength of Honghuang Studio.
But the last collaboration, the "Prison Break Rabbit" animation, really helped him a lot.
It has only been on the shelves for half a month and the number of views has far exceeded expectations. It is only a matter of time before the investment is recovered.
This is enough to prove Honghuang's strength in this regard.
He also heard that many game platforms had rejected Honghuang's promotional cooperation, and it was obvious that this was the reason why they approached them.
If he refused, it would be difficult to cooperate again in the future, and he didn't want to lose this newly established cooperative relationship.
Thinking of this, Su Peng finally gritted his teeth.
"Okay! I promise!"
Su Peng admitted that there was indeed an element of gambling involved.
But how many people in his line of work don’t rely on gambling?
After all, no one dares to say that they can grasp the market direction 100%, and opportunities are often accompanied by risks.
Anyway, it’s just a promotional resource.
Even if he fails, it will not cause irreversible consequences for him. At most, the available resources at hand will be reduced.
But if it succeeds.
That would definitely make his position in the company more secure, and maybe the next promotion opportunity would fall on him?
You know.
There is still a large group of people eyeing the position of marketing manager.
He must achieve even more impressive results before the end of the year!
With this idea in mind, the negotiations between the two naturally went very smoothly, and they quickly worked out a specific plan. They only needed to meet and sign the contract when the time came.
"By the way, since Mr. Chen wants to make a CG movie, have you confirmed the actors?"
After finishing the business, Su Peng casually asked following this topic.
After all, he has to use up the promotional resources at hand, and it would be best if he could invite a popular young actor to play the role.
But considering that Chen Lin and his team are just a new studio with insufficient accumulation of foundation, they didn't hold out much hope.
"It's almost finalized, but we're still missing a leading actress and some extras. Does Director Su have any recommendations?"
Since it is a movie of "Monster Hunter", Chen Lin naturally hopes that the female lead will be more in line with the theme of the game.
However, the girls in the studio were too eccentric and not suitable for playing this important role.
"How about I recommend a few artists from our B station to you? They are all from the acting department, so they can be free guest stars. I can also find extras for you, as long as they pay you for the day."
When he heard that the leading actress had not yet been confirmed, Su Peng's eyes lit up and he quickly recommended artists under his company.
This is a great opportunity.
Even if the movie doesn't do well, they can still use the opportunity to promote their contracted artists and bring in some traffic. At least it won't be a waste of promotional resources, right?
Chen Lin thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let them come directly to my studio when the time comes."
"It's settled then."
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
After the phone call was hung up, the preliminary cooperation between Honghuang Studio and Bilibili was officially reached, which also solved the problem of Chen Lin’s new game promotion.
Next.
All that’s left is to make the main body of the game and shoot the promotional CG. I believe it shouldn’t take too long.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin put down his phone, got up, left the office and went outside, intending to check the progress of the game production.
But as soon as I arrived at the office area of the Dawn team, I found that Lao Li and others were gathered together, staring at the production screen with a confused look on their faces.
"What's wrong?" Chen Lin asked.
Seeing him appear, several people were immediately delighted: "Mr. Chen, you came at the right time. We have encountered some problems in development."
"Problem? What problem?" Chen Lin walked through the crowd and came to the computer.
"It's the AI of these monsters. After we implemented them, we found that their desire to attack is too strong. I'm afraid that this will discourage players because the difficulty is too high."
"Yes, cold weapons are difficult to operate, and the attack framework set by the game makes it difficult for players to get started. If the monster AI is too strong, it will probably have the opposite effect."
Several employees talked at once, pointing out the unreasonable aspects.
The others didn't say anything, but judging from the way they nodded, they agreed with what they said.
After all, players don’t play games to be abused.
“Let me ask you, what is the name of this game?”
Chen Lin did not respond to them, but suddenly asked back.
"Name? Isn't it Monster Hunter? Someone who specializes in hunting monsters." Du Xing next to him looked puzzled.
But what responded to him was Chen Lin's denial: "When did I say that I am a monster hunter?"
"Ah? If it's not this, what could it be? Mr. Chen, you couldn't have made a mistake?" Everyone thought they had heard it wrongly.
"That's right, it's the hunter. Monsters come out to hunt humans, aren't they monster hunters?" Chen Lin said as a matter of course.
All employees: ???
So this is what the name of the game means!
At this point, they didn't know how to complain anymore, as they were shocked by their boss's outrageous idea.
Without waiting for them to speak, Chen Lin continued, "Just follow the design plan, especially the ancient dragon species. Turn up the attack AI to the maximum. If you die, don't you still have the cat car? If you give up so easily, you are not a hunter."
“…”
Boss.
You are planning to drive the players to death!
Aren’t you afraid that someone will come to your studio with a kitchen knife and give you a powerful chop?
Even though I was complaining in my heart.
But Lao Li and others did not dare to question Chen Lin's decision.
After all, this plan was his idea, and any random changes might have the opposite effect.
I just hope those players can hold on a little longer...
After a few words of silence, the employees returned to their seats and worked on making the game.
Chen Lin took the time to take a look.
After this period of hard work, the entire game has gradually taken shape and the basic framework has been laid, which is much faster than expected.
I guess it won’t take long.
This game will officially meet the players.
