Chapter 56: New Wool
Looking at Yu Qiaoqiao who was looking at him pitifully with her big eyes, Chen Yan really couldn't say no.
Forget it. Since everyone wants to leave work early, then let's leave work early.
It just so happened that I didn’t get enough rest last night and I was a little tired.
So he said, "Okay. Since everyone has something to do today, let's get off work early."
At this time, Fat Phoenix smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen! We will work harder tomorrow!"
Chen Yan smiled and nodded, "Let's work hard together!"
As he spoke, he tidied up the table a little and turned off the computer.
After cleaning up, Chen Yan looked around and found that several big guys were still not cleaning up. Yu Qiaoqiao was a little anxious, so he simply gave the key to Fat Phoenix and said to Yu Qiaoqiao, "Let's go."
Yu Qiaoqiao nodded obediently, picked up her small bag, and happily followed Chen Yan out of the company.
Before leaving, Yu Qiaoqiao quietly turned her head and made a "yes" gesture.
Seeing this, several big guys smiled, then put the things they had just packed back in place, turned on their computers, and continued to work...
Mr. Chen was tired after a long night yesterday, so we tricked him into going home early to have some rest.
He is silently contributing to the company, we can't lose...
…
After sending Yu Qiaoqiao home, Chen Yan went home, washed up, had dinner, and then went to bed early.
After finishing the most difficult part of the game today, Chen Yan felt that he had gained a lot and could have a good sleep...
At the same time, room 1616 of Qindao InterContinental Hotel.
Sister Meili looked at Lu Man sitting on the sofa and said angrily, "Man Man! I want an explanation!"
Lu Man had completely lost the cool and elegant look she had this afternoon, and instead acted like a willful child.
She looked at the game plan in her hand with a smile on her face, and asked without raising her head, "Sister, what explanation do you want?"
Sister Meili slapped the letter of intent on the table heavily. "Contract! Contract! Why did you take the initiative to reduce the salary? Do you know what this means?"
Lu Man looked up curiously, looking at Sister Meili with big eyes, as if he really didn't understand, "What does it mean?"
Sister Meili, "You've reduced your own pay this time. Will you reduce your pay for other people's cooperation in the future? If some people with connections come to you, will you reduce your pay? This is a matter of one thing affecting the whole body!"
Lu Man asked in confusion, "Why would they surrender? That's all normal cooperation."
Sister Meili was furious, "This is also normal cooperation!"
Lu Man smiled very happily, "No. This is not it. I like this game, so I am willing to do it."
After that, she lowered her head to look at the game plan again, and then said casually, "Okay. Sister, you go out first. I'll look at the plan for a while, and then I'll go to bed."
After that, she added, "As for the company, just tell it that's my opinion. If the company thinks the income is too low, then just deduct it from my share. I don't mind."
Hearing Lu Man's careless words, Sister Meili's chest heaved violently with anger.
She glared at the willful Lu Man for a long time, then snorted coldly, slammed the door and walked out.
After Sister Meili left, the room returned to its long-lost silence...
After the driver's seconds, Lu Man quietly poked his head out of the game plan, looked at the door carefully, and stuck out his tongue...
There is no longer the calm and relaxed look just now...
"Oh my God. Sister Meili is so fierce this time. I have never seen her so fierce before."
She patted her chest.
"It's a big loss, a big loss."
"Damn Chen Yan, if you don't play with me for a few more nights, I will definitely tear your head off."...
…
[Yu Qiaoqiao's Favorability: 57] (Feeding +2, Touching +8, Hug +3)
[Wealth value: 1267...5] (Salary +1200, Feeding +67...5)
[Assets: 980,000…970,000 +] (wages, feeding, etc.)
[The game is being upgraded...]
…
The next morning, Chen Yan came to the company.
The attitude of several big bosses in the company towards him was much more enthusiastic than in the previous few days.
Cheng Tianxiang took the initiative to come over and talk to him about the cloud storage of game videos.
The photography expert [Si Hai] took the initiative to talk to him about the game's graphics style.
Even Tank, the tall and thin man with an expressionless face, came over and put a piece of exquisite little cake in front of Chen Yan with an expressionless face.
At that moment, Chen Yan really felt flattered.
But... doesn't this pink and white cake decorated with strawberries seem a bit inconsistent with the image of the tank giant...?
…
The game plan has been finalized, and Lu Man has also confirmed his participation. The company's main task next is to select voice actors and actors.
Although "Secret Guardian" is a video reasoning game, most of the videos are freeze-frame images with dubbing.
Dubbing plays a large role in this game, so you need to choose it carefully.
A few days ago, Chen Yan contacted several voice actor companies through Lao Kong and sent them invitations for cooperation. In the past few days, he has received some audition clips.
Chen Yan put on his headphones and listened quietly while taking a pen and paper to write down his comments on the voice actors.
The morning passed in a flash, and during lunch, Fat Phoenix came up to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan was eating and listening to the audition. When he saw her coming, he took off his headphones and asked, "What's wrong? Sister Fenghuang."
Fat Phoenix said, "Mr. Chen, it's like this. You gave me the casting for the actors before, and I sent some inquiry emails to various agencies, but not many were interested in us."
"And the price quoted is a bit higher than our budget."
Chen Yan asked, "Our game is said to be about shooting videos, but it's actually more like shooting posters. The price shouldn't be expensive. How much do they charge?"
Fat Phoenix said, "The prices for the female leads are lower because their roles are scattered. Except for Lu Man, each of the four female leads will cost around 80,000."
"But the male lead is much more expensive..."
"Because there are many shots and the duration is long, the lowest insurance price given by each company is 300,000 yuan."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment.
There are four female characters, each with 80,000, which is 320,000, plus the male lead's 300,000. That's 620,000.
If you add in the production costs of other extras, scene settings, props, dubbing, etc., the entire game will cost at least 820,000.
This is indeed in line with the estimate given by [Xiao Ha's Polaroid]. Chen Yan can afford it.
But...if Lu Man's 800,000 yuan fee is added, these big guys in my company will get two to three months' salary.
The production cost of this game is high.
Chen Yan did some mental calculations.
2.34 million!
Although the game now looks like it could make 12 million, it's still a very profitable business.
But... I don't seem to have that much money to support the production of the game.
For a moment, Chen Yan was a little confused.
The 1 million that he just “scammed” from Yu Qiaoqiao is not enough?
Then should I plan to "earn" some more money...
However, now Qiaoqiao's boss is very shrewd, and it is too difficult to spend money on her. Yesterday, taking advantage of her being touched, I advanced her a month's salary, and only got 1,200 wealth points.
It's too difficult to earn 100,000 wealth points normally...
Headache.
While Chen Yan was thinking about how to get more money from Yu Qiaoqiao to subsidize the game, Fat Phoenix said, "So, Mr. Chen, I thought about it yesterday. Lu Man's idea is not without merit."
Chen Yan didn't react, "What idea?"
Fat Phoenix said, "You are the protagonist."
Fat Phoenix looked Chen Yan up and down and said with a smile, "I feel that Mr. Chen, you are very suitable to be the protagonist."
"You look like Gu Tianyue, and you have a kind of human-like appearance that is rare these days... ahem. Tough yet elegant, a feeling of both good and evil."
Chen Yan waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't do it. I'm not a professional actor."
Fat Phoenix said, "It's okay. We are all shooting static scenes, so we don't need any acting skills."
"Besides, it's not just you."
"Don't you think Qiaoqiao is also suitable for the role in our play?"
"If you and Qiaoqiao both participate, the male lead can save 300,000 yuan, and the female lead can save 80,000 yuan. This will give us a lot more money to make the game."
Originally Chen Yan wanted to refuse.
But after hearing the second half of what Fat Phoenix said about Yu Qiaoqiao...
His eyes suddenly lit up...
Huh?
Yu Qiaoqiao...will be one of the female leads and participate in the filming?
Hmm...
Seems like a good way to make money...
