Supervisor Xie was a little unconvinced: "Is that so? It won't have much impact on us?"

Zhong Ming explained: "There will definitely be an impact. In the past, we were the only ones who did this kind of answering to divide up the prize money. It was very comfortable to eat alone. But now that many companies have followed suit, it does not mean that we will definitely not be able to do it. In fact, for most people In other words, two million is money, and one million is money. Most of them will participate in both, which will affect our popularity, but the impact should not be great."

"If they compete with us for the 8 o'clock stall, that's okay, we can change the time, 12 o'clock in the noon, 1 o'clock, 7 o'clock in the evening until 11 o'clock, it is all possible. Of course, it is not certain whether to change the time , I don’t think these companies will come head-to-head with us as soon as they come up.”

"What's more, they have spent so much money, basically no sponsors will invest in them in the early stage, and they will pay for it themselves. So we can continue to negotiate with the sponsors, or the previous price, and earn the money first Let’s talk about things in the future, just take one step at a time.”

Director Xie scratched his bald head: "This...isn't it too passive?"

"It's passive, but there is no other way." Zhong Ming said, "The money for answering questions is not a high-tech thing, and there is no copyright protection. People can just change the rules and throw money at will. There is no solution to this. I don’t think it’s necessary to join this war of throwing money, it’s their job to throw money, and we can earn as much as we can.”

Director Xie was a little helpless: "From what you said, it seems that there is really no good solution. But the new version is still to be done? Daily research and development must continue."

"Director Xie, to be honest, I think the project of "Learning the Sea of ​​​​Boundless" is already very good. The new version can be done, but there is no need to invest the manpower of the entire project. It is divided into one designer and two programmers. Just go get busy. Why don't we take the long view and start a new project?"

Director Xie was stunned for a moment: "Open a new project?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, "Xuehai Wuya" and the million-dollar coin campaign continue to make profits, just in time to ask for resources and important people from the top management, let's start a new project."

Director Xie thought for a while: "It's not impossible. The key is, what are we going to do with new projects? Do we still make educational games?"

Zhong Ming shook his head: "I hope to be able to make regular games, whether it is bracelet games or computer games, in short, I will no longer make educational games. It is completely accidental that "Xuehai Wuya" became popular, of course, it is also the current big game. The product of the environment. But it is basically impossible to make a second "Learning the Sea of ​​​​Boundless". This kind of idea can only be used once."

Director Xie asked: "Then, if we develop a new project, we should have to fill in the staff? Moreover, most of them have no relevant experience, so I don't know if the higher-ups can approve the project for us. Let's do it first, I Tell Mr. Lu about the new project, and then you will release a new version in the past two days to deal with it."

Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay."

...

The new version is easy to say, it is nothing more than making some improvements to "Xue Hai Wu Ya" and perfecting the gameplay. Zhong Ming still has some ideas, which are directly written into the design document, and the new version document of "Xuehai Wuya" is considered complete.

The function is not complicated, and the program can take time to do it.

Zhong Ming is more concerned about the new project.

"Learning the Sea of ​​Boundless" is not interesting now, and in the future it will be nothing more than routine maintenance and improvement, which can be done by individuals. The popularity of this kind of answering games will naturally decline. This is a general rule, and it is basically impossible to reverse it on your own.

That's why Zhong Ming wanted to take advantage of the success of the "Learning Sea Boundless" project to ask Director Xie to request a new project from the top management.

In the afternoon, Supervisor Xie called Zhong Ming to the office again.

"The top management disagrees."

Director Xie obviously spent a lot of talking, he looked a little tired, and kept drinking water.

Zhong Ming was not too surprised, and asked, "What's the reason?"

Director Xie sighed softly: "I feel that the personnel composition of our project does not have the ability to develop conventional large-scale games. As for small bracelet games, the company already has enough, and it does not plan to open new projects. In fact, to put it bluntly, the company I still believe in the potential of our project in educational games, and hope that we can continue to promote "Xuehai Wuya", or develop a new low-cost game similar to "Xuehai Wuya."

Zhong Ming nodded: "I understand."

Director Xie originally thought that Zhong Ming would be very disappointed, but now it seems that he is not, as if this is also in his expectation.

"Zhong Ming, I know you are a person with ideas, or a genius. You can even do projects like "Xuehai Wuya", and other regular game projects are certainly not a problem. Even you The ability is stronger than mine and most of the directors of Guangyi Interactive Entertainment. If you want to pursue better development, I can tell Mr. Lu to transfer you to a better project to exercise, although it is impossible to directly It is definitely okay to be promoted to the chief designer, but continue to be the world architect." Director Xie said.

Zhong Ming shook his head: "No need."

As for why it wasn't used anymore, Zhong Ming didn't say anything, and Supervisor Xie didn't ask any more. It's just that Director Xie has a vague feeling that people like Zhong Ming will leave sooner or later, and maybe Light Wing Interactive Entertainment is just a place for him to rest temporarily.

"Oh, by the way, Director Xie, there is another matter. Can you say hello to Mr. Lu and transfer a program from the "Mecha Age" project? It happens that we are also a little short of manpower." Zhong Ming said.

Director Xie was stunned: "Cong Lao Liu's project wants someone? Who does he want? What about his own wishes?"

Zhong Ming said: "He wants to come here very much. His name is Zhou Sen. I have worked with him before. He has no problem with his skills and has a good temper."

Supervisor Xie nodded: "Okay, I'll tell Mr. Lu later. If you want a new project or not, it shouldn't be a problem if you ask for a program."

...

Zhong Ming returned to his station, finished his work, and started paddling.

The high-level refusal was within his expectation, but Zhong Ming was actually lucky, thinking that Lu would always agree.

Of course, the reality is cruel.

Lightwing Interactive Entertainment is like many big companies. There are procedures for the establishment of a project. After all, each project is equivalent to the company providing resources for the project supervisor. In the end, it loses money. It is mainly the company that bears the loss. At most, the supervisor has no Bonuses, the wages that should be there will not be less than a penny.

Whether the project can be approved is nothing more than whether the company's top management is optimistic about the project, which mainly depends on: the quality of the game design draft or DEMO, the development experience of the supervisor and the project, investment and risk assessment, etc.

According to the general project approval process, the main designer and supervisor will make a design concept draft of the new game, or find a program to make a DEMO (sample), and show it to the leader in charge. At this time, the company's senior management will comprehensively evaluate the prospects, risks, general investment, etc. of the game. If it feels suitable, it will be done, and if it is not suitable, it will be changed.

Of course, for some celebrity producers, all these steps can be omitted. After all, they are famous, have well-known games, and have a large number of fans among players. As long as they say what they want to do, the company will immediately make a decision and pay.

But for most executives, especially those like Lao Xie, it is not entirely up to them to decide what project they want to do.
