"...What's the point of buying trending searches? The money might as well be used to give me bonuses." Zhou Sen pressed in a low voice.

Zhong Ming smiled: "Buying popular searches can increase the popularity of the game and make more money. If you give you a bonus, you won't be more grateful to the company. You don't have a B number in your mind where the leader wants the money to be spent?" .”

"But the heat hasn't picked up yet," Zhou Sen said.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes. Popularity is like this. It's hard to figure out what people are paying attention to on the Internet. Sometimes it's useless to spend money on popular searches. When the popularity goes down, it goes down. There is no better way."

"Poor old Xie, still in a sea of ​​misery." Zhou Sen sympathized.

Zhong Ming said: "Don't worry about Lao Xie, he has nothing to fall into. Now the project is under the supervision of Mr. Bai, and he just happens to continue the Buddhist system. And for others, the bonus is just reduced. It’s not that we can’t live on anymore. When the storm gradually passes, Mr. Yu no longer attaches so much importance to the project of "Learning the Sea of ​​​​Boundless", Director Bai has transferred away, and Director Xie and the others can continue to point to this game to earn bonuses."

"But, will there still be bonuses by then?"

"Yes. As long as there is no policy to completely ban this kind of quiz show, it will definitely continue to exist. It is nothing more than a problem of earning more and less. The decline in popularity is a good thing, and you can continue to retire."

"Hey, keep working." Zhou Sen stopped worrying about the bonus and continued typing codes.

...

On the Internet, the enthusiasm about the virtual idol contest is also gradually dissipating.

After the Virtual Idol Contest, Xinghua Interactive Entertainment announced the company's next promotion plan. The two virtual idols, Shangguanyun and Tiya, will be the focus of promotion in the future. They will be built by a professional team and strive to be released in two or three months. Meet all the fans.

At that time, at Xinghua Huyu's virtual idol concert, several newcomers will be on stage together with old virtual idols such as Su Bai and Dina.

It's just that many fans are wondering, what about Chanel?

I won the first place in the virtual idol contest, why there is no news after that? ?

Especially after Xinghua Interactive Entertainment's official Weibo announced the promotion plan of Shangguanyun and Tiya, there were many question marks underneath.

"Why isn't my Chanel wife on the list??"

"What the hell, the second and third place have promotions, but the first place doesn't?"

"Spicy chicken Xinghua mutual entertainment, shady!"

"Don't scold me, old man... This matter is really not Xinghua Huyu's fault, do you think they don't want to push Chanel? They really want to, but the original author didn't sign a contract with them at all, and didn't sell the copyright. How will Xinghua Interactive Entertainment push it?"

"Huh? I always thought that participating in this competition meant signing a copyright development agreement by default."

"Really not, Xinghua Interactive Entertainment didn't force all contestants to sign, probably because they are very confident in their own company. But it's also true, the average contestant participated in the competition, and it would be great to sell their works and eat happily. I guess Xinghua Interactive Entertainment didn't expect that Zhong Ming would hold the virtual idol in his hands and not sell it at all..."

"Then the original author wants to develop the copyright by himself?"

"Development is a fart, the author is a newcomer, he just registered and established a studio after receiving a bonus two days ago, and he still makes independent games... He has a fart resource development copyright..."

"...Day, wouldn't it be impossible for me to see my goddess at the concert? It's hard to think about it! I feel uncomfortable all over!"

"Hey, I don't know what the author thinks, I don't know how to cherish such a good promotion opportunity."

"So what is an indie game?"

"I don't know, I didn't make it. I also paid special attention to the author's Weibo, and there has been no movement since the studio's Weibo."

"Send a private message to ask?"

Many people sent private messages to Zhong Ming's Weibo, asking how Chanel was doing.

In short, you have to continue to develop the image of Chanel, sir, if you hold it in your hands and don’t give it to others, you can’t develop it yourself, isn’t that just for nothing?

However, these private messages have not been responded to.

...

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

Since there is already a script, it doesn't take too much time on this. The program framework of the game itself is not complicated, and the vertical drawing of characters does not require high precision, so it can be done very quickly.

Of course, because there are too many character standing paintings and scene original paintings, in order to complete them faster, it is also necessary to outsource a batch of less important characters to reduce some workload. According to the market price, an ordinary standing painting costs about 2000. This is also an expenditure of tens of thousands of yuan.

Moreover, since it is serious about making an independent game, it is certainly impossible to copy everything as it is, and many aspects can still be optimized.

For example, in terms of character drawing, each character will have various expressions and actions according to the different plots, and various sound effects and screen special effects according to the plot.

Things like screen shaking, red filters that simulate bleeding, etc., all of these also take a little time to do.

What is more important is the voice of the characters.

It’s okay to not have voice, but it’s better to have it. It can give players a stronger sense of substitution, and with the automatic playback function, it can make text adventure games more like a moving book. Players have a better gaming experience.

And voice is not difficult to do, just spend money.

In fact, for Zhong Ming, the development of "The Lurking Red Path" simply cannot spend more than one million yuan. This is done to control costs and prevent some uncontrollable situations from happening.

For example, what if the original painting cannot be finished? Not enough music sound effects? Or try to buy some referral slots where the game is live?

Zhong Ming also took all these parts that may or may not be spent into consideration. After all, he can't get money from other places now. If half of the game's funding chain is broken, it will be really difficult.

Fortunately, you can find a dedicated studio for dubbing, and the price is 90-120 yuan/minute/person. And because there are so many characters in "The Lurking Red Path", there are more than 50 people, even if the voice actors are all monsters, it is still a very huge project to dub N characters by one person.

The game is full of conversations throughout the game, and it may take 8 to 10 hours to get through all the lines. In this way, the money spent on dubbing alone will have to be 60,000 to 70,000 to 70,000. Of course, there must be a discount for so many voices, but the discount is not much.

After all, if you want to dub well, you have to find some excellent voice actors, and some sentences that are not in place need to be re-recorded.

Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna were very tolerant, and they never watched the plot written by Zhong Ming.

Zhou Sen just set up the program framework according to Zhong Ming's request, and then matched a small part of the watch. The main plot progress is directly controlled by Zhong Ming. In Jiang Wanna's case, she just drew some standing paintings of characters, helping Zhong Ming draw different expressions and movements of the same character.

Because these two people are enduring and want to experience the game by themselves after the game is made.

"Uh, Zhong Ming, actually, I have always had a question. How do we promote our game? To be honest, this name is really not suitable for promotion.

Zhou Sen expressed his concerns.
