Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

At the beginning of April, as spring turned to summer, Los Angeles entered a season where one piece of clothing could ward off the cold. He threw away his thick down jacket and stored his sweater in the back of the closet. Lin Yuan put on his first few clothes again. Wearing familiar casual clothes, he came to the company with Feng Shuyun.

After entering the small office, the two began to do their own things skillfully.

Feng Shuyun sat in front of the computer and started playing games, watching TV series, and reading news.

Lin Yuan was lying on the sofa, playing with his mobile phone, reading novels and watching short videos.

During this period, Nanxing's first and second knives came over like this.

Hmm. If outsiders saw this, they would probably think it was outrageous.

Why is it that the leaders of a game company that is estimated to be worth tens of billions are such two laid-off people? If we are not doing our jobs properly day by day, will this company really not collapse?

Yes, it won’t collapse!

Because there are so many management staff at Nanxing now!

No matter what is the best management, if Feng Shuyun really takes care of everything and has a hand in everything, then the operation of Nanxing will be in danger.

The boss is the one who makes decisions and sets the direction. The operation and business of the company are all done by the people below.

Although Lin Yuan is doing the decision-making

Li Lin, Xu Xiao, Luo Yuan, as well as the management team and marketing team all did an outstanding job, so Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun were naturally free.

Time passed little by little, and an hour later, when Lin Yuan felt a little sleepy and was about to take a nap, Feng Shuyun, who was sitting in front of the computer, suddenly said: I said Lin Yuan, we are indeed together. Right?

Otherwise? I confessed to you, and if you accepted my confession, wouldn't that mean we are together? Uncle Feng also agreed, my sister is also a witness, and the families of both parties also agreed. Of course we are together. Lin The distant sleepiness immediately dissipated.

Then why do I feel that whether we are together or not together is no different from before? Feng Shuyun looked at Lin Yuan and said with a pensive expression.

Feng Shuyun really felt a little strange.

She has never been in love, this is the first time, but Feng Shuyun still knows what men and women in love should do. After all, there are all kinds of love in TV series, games, and animations for Feng Shuyun to refer to.

But the question is, why is it so weird when it happens to me?

We have been together for more than two months, but the way we get along has not changed at all!

After Feng Shuyun finished speaking, Lin Yuan also sat up and became a little serious.

He found that what Feng Shuyun said was right!

Yes, the current progress of the two of them is to hug each other, Lin Yuan eats Feng Shuyun's tofu every day, but the daily route is to go to work, get off work, go home, and occasionally have late night snacks together.

Wait, is this really the way men and women should behave when they are in love? !

Lin Yuan suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, he is also a junior and doesn't understand anything. If Lin Yuan is asked to play romance, he really can't understand it. The same goes for Feng Shuyun. So, should we say that this is the love between a man and a woman who is a science major?

Boss, it seems we have to make some changes. Lin Yuan said seriously.

How do you say it? Feng Shuyun asked.

First, how about changing the title? I read on the Internet that friendly titles can enhance the relationship between the two parties. When there are outsiders, I call you boss. If there are no outsiders, I call you Shushu? Feng Feng? Yunyun?

. So numb. Feng Shuyun shook his body.

. Lin Yuan said that I haven't said honey, baby, baby

In the love guide he checked before, when a man calls a woman, he usually starts with baby, dear!

How about giving it a try? Although Feng Shuyun felt a little nauseous, he did not refuse.

She wanted to enhance her relationship with Lin Yuan.

Shu Shu? Lin Yuan called tentatively.

. Feng Shuyun opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Shu Shu! Lin Yuan shouted smoothly and said again.

Feng Shuyun rubbed his eyebrows and said, How about changing the name? Shu Shu always feels weird. I call the children of my distant relatives Shu Shu.

The baby?

!

Eh- Feng Shuyun crossed his shoulders with his hands, his body shaking even more.

Feng Shuyun changed his mind and said, Forget it Lin Yuan, let's just use the familiar way of getting along with each other.

no need

Deliberately change the way they get along. After all, Feng Shuyun and him have been doing this for the past two years. This is also the most natural way for them to get along.

But Lin Yuan was not happy anymore. He sat there grunting like a big golden retriever, calling Feng Shuyun one by one.

My face turned red when I called Boss Feng, so I had no choice but to wear headphones and pretend not to hear.

It was not until two days later that Feng Shuyun slowly adapted to such a title.

Um.

In private, she gradually got used to Lin Yuan's name for her baby.

But what about her name Lin Yuan?

Just call Lin Yuan!

Let her also call her baby?

She, Feng Shuyun, can't open her mouth!

——————

On April 7, Nanxing made a decision internally today.

Regarding the post that was suddenly launched by international students on foreign forums some time ago - Nanxing helped us find national confidence.

Lin Yuan could only say that this was actually a bit exaggerated.

Because Nan Xing really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen on the Internet. When Li Lin and Feng Shuyun, who often visited the Internet, talked about this incident, both of them were a little confused and didn't understand how it happened.

Oops

Is Nanxing already a company that can inspire young Chinese people to live abroad?

In fact, this matter did not have much impact in the country. First, Nanxing had already launched the 2077 game demo on Steam on the third day, preventing the matter from further fermentation. Second, watching the game outside the network After all, there are only a handful of Chinese people on forums, let alone those who specifically go to foreign gaming forums, which is even more of a minority.

However, domestic netizens who often visit Facebook and Twitter still know it.

That is to say, Nanxing. This needs to be replaced by another game company. Zaokuku used this to attract a wave of traffic, and Feng Shuyun and Lin Yuan, as guys who only publish games and do not often come into contact with the industry, will naturally not go into marketing. this traffic.

As for what decision Nanxing made today?

That is, due to the current pressure of public opinion online (Nan Xing’s fans found their way offline) and unable to resist the enthusiasm of fans (fans pulled banners at the entrance of Nan Xing), Nan Xing finally chose to hold the concert at 2 p.m. on April 8. A live broadcast.

That's right Nan Xing is real by fans.

The reason is that every time Nanxing releases a game and arouses the players' appetite, it will directly start pretending to be dead and the game disappears. This time 2077 has aroused the appetite of players across the country. Many players hope that Nanxing will not give second place. If you don’t want to add demo content, you can at least reveal some content about 2077, right?

At least let the players know what is going on in 2077 now, and when will they be able to play it?

But Nan Xing paid no attention to any of them. He was very proficient in the tactic of pretending to be dead. This attracted a lot of real fans, and some even flew all the way to Los Angeles, just to get Nan Xing to come forward and give an explanation.

This was all proven offline, so of course Lin Yuan could not continue to choose to pretend to be dead.

Therefore, we are going to hold a live broadcast to talk to fans about the situation in 2077 and answer their questions.

As soon as this news came out, those fans who came to Los Angeles offline naturally dispersed.

Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun will conduct a live broadcast in a small office. Well, a simple live broadcast.

On April 8, at 1:50 p.m., Feng Shuyun, who had put on light makeup, had already picked up his mobile phone and was preparing to broadcast live using the official account of the website. Lin Yuan also took two bottles of water and posted a sign outside the office. There is a do not disturb A4 paper.

I'm a little nervous about what's going on

At 13:58, Feng Shuyun said to Lin Yuan before the broadcast.

Lin Yuan moved a small bench and sat next to Feng Shuyun. After taking a sip of water, he said, It's okay. They will all ask me later. Just sit next to him.

Uh-huh.

At 2 o'clock sharp, the live broadcast officially started. The mobile phone was placed on a stand, and Feng Shuyun and Lin Yuan were very close.

When the broadcast started, Feng Shuyun saw a lot of barrages floating past.

【Open the door! It's two o'clock, why isn't the door open yet? ! 】

[Where are the people? Open the door! 】

[Hello, are these Ms. Feng and Mr. Lin from Nanxing? 】

[We won’t let employees come to the live broadcast. The mascot and Lin Ce are not here, right? 】

[Where are the people from Lince? 】

The barrage people started making noise in the live broadcast room, and the next second, the faces of Feng Shuyun and Lin Yuan appeared in the live broadcast room.

【I'm coming! 】

[Brothers, charge them! 】

Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun looked at the barrage, and then Lin Yuan took the lead and said: Good afternoon everyone, I'm glad to meet you, what, there are a bit too many barrage, I can't see it, everyone, let's do this, change it to sc To answer the question, 30 for each question shouldn’t be too much, right?”

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

You really can’t see it if you watch the barrage, but you can see it if you use sc. 30 SC questions and answers. Well, Lin Yuan actually feels that it is quite expensive. Thirty yuan is enough for Lin Yuan and Feng Shuyun to have lunch. The two of them are now I often eat noodle soup and fried rice from the restaurant next to the Science and Technology Building.

But there is no way, who made the number of people in the live broadcast room now exceed 50,000.

One-tenth of the number of people posting barrages would be impossible to watch.

As for why there were 50,000 people when the broadcast first started, it was because Nan Xing shouted on Weibo on the 7th, so there were naturally no shortage of people in the live broadcast room today.

User: After finishing the hot pot frying, the computer sent me 30sc - how long do you plan to live broadcast?

???

No, my friend, are you sure you want to spend thirty yuan to ask this kind of question? Lin Yuan said with a bit of laughter when he saw the first SC.

The live broadcast will be until four or five o'clock. Everyone, there are questions related to the internal situation of the company. I can't answer them. So if you can't answer some questions, um, can you apply for a refund then?

Feng Shuyun next to him punched Lin Yuan and whispered: We will pay for refunds if minors refund, you idiot!

Ah, is that so? Lin Yuan was startled.

He really didn’t know that Station B’s refund anchor would lose money.

Well, we are not responsible for asking questions that cannot be answered. Lin Yuan immediately changed his mind.

【Sweet, sweet, sweet! 】

[I am a minor, make money! 】

[Laughing so hard, this is the first time I see a host proactively asking viewers to get refunds. 】

[Come on, Brother Rich, ask some tricky questions! ! ! 】

User: Baby Peach sent 30sc - when will 2077 be completed? Can we play it this year?

I can't give an accurate time as to when 2077 will be available, but we will definitely give players news in September this year. Lin Yuan said seriously.

Lin Ce, what do you think of the 2077demo content interpreted by the old naughty boy?

Haha, he is very powerful, and several parts of his interpretation are correct. Yes, the person who appeared in the end was Johnny Silverhand, but the rest involves the main plot of the game, so I won't answer it.

Lin Ce, choose love now, there is already movement in 2077, what about the fireworks?

The fireworks will be released during this month. Whether it is the middle of the month or the end of the month depends on the production team.

Why did Nanxing think of making a horror game?

because.

Feng Shuyun sat aside and blinked, watching Lin Yuan answer questions on the barrage.

In just ten minutes, Lin Yuan answered many questions.

User: Wuguijiang sent 1000sc - what kind of game is fireworks? Can Lin Ce reveal some content?

1,000 yuan? Red sc? Lin Yuan was a little surprised.

There really is a rich brother!

What about that? Let's just use 30 SC when asking questions. No need for gifts or rewards. Just support our game more. Lin Yuan said quickly.

Feng Shuyun on the side also nodded: We are a game company, not a game anchor. We don't want rewards.

As for the fireworks, since they will be on the shelves this month, apart from the plot, I can reveal a lot of content to you, so I will tell you a few here.

Is this considered to be an announcement for the fireworks?

After all, there are already 70,000 people in the live broadcast room now, and it seems that it should reach hundreds of thousands at its peak. You must know that it is two o'clock in the afternoon, which is the time for work and study. At this time, the game company's live broadcast can have more than 100,000 people. Tens of thousands of people is really outrageous.

If you ask Goose Factory and Pig Factory to come, unless it is a new game launch conference, there will definitely not be hundreds of thousands of people in the live broadcast room.

Tens of thousands of people can be called a big anchor, but what does hundreds of thousands of people mean?

Therefore, it is indeed a good opportunity to announce it.

Lin Yuan continued in a deep voice:

Fireworks is a horror game that is different from home and abroad. Horror games have always followed two paths, either a flesh-and-blood dodge battle, or a decryption game that suddenly pops up and scares you. As for fireworks, horror is not its core. Its core lies in the characters and plot. This is a horror game focusing on plot. It is a horror game specially produced by our Nanxing for the Chinese. It is a horror that only our Chinese can understand. .”

Well, let me ask a question. Does anyone know what Chinese horror is?

【Chinese horror? Does it mean psychological horror? 】

[Is Lin Ce talking about zombies? But I don’t think zombies are too scary. When I was a kid, I always watched zombie movies as comedies. 】

[Chinese-style horror refers to horror that is different from Western horror that is mainly bloody. It does not challenge your physiological reaction, but challenges your psychological reaction. It is an Eastern style that is mainly psychological horror. 】

【Chinese horror is always awesome! 】

Yes, Fireworks is Chinese horror, and the game is centered around feudal folk customs. Let me give you an example. When you watch a horror movie, you will see killers, zombies, and ghosts. Although you will be attracted by it at first sight. It scares you a lot, but you will slowly forget it afterwards, and you won’t feel frightened when you remember it again, right? And why is this? It’s because there is a lack of sense of involvement. Although it is scary, it will not make people look at it. It passed away.

But Chinese horror is different. Everyone, let go of your imagination and imagine that you are in a deep alley, and suddenly you see the door of a retro old house open.

The red light of lanterns flashed in the darkness of the yard. Under the festive but outrageous red lanterns, conspicuous white couplets were pasted on the doorposts. In the inner hall, there was a couple wearing wedding clothes sitting on both sides, with the groom in front of them. No expression, the scene where the bride wears a red curtain and red shoes, but there is a pair of black wooden coffins in the middle?

hiss--

Beside Lin Yuan, Feng Shuyun took a big breath of air.

A pair of small hands unconsciously grabbed Lin Yuan's arms.

Damn it.

What is this guy Lin Yuan saying in the live broadcast room?

Feng Shuyun has a very rich imagination!

She followed Lin Yuan's words and imagined such a scene. It was obviously a wedding scene, but Feng Shuyun felt weird and afraid, who would get married in the middle of the night!

She has been most afraid of paper people since she was a child!

[Hey, I suddenly understand what Lin Ce means. 】

[I’m Cao, don’t scare me. I live in the countryside, and there is a family next door that actually has a coffin at home. 】

[Suddenly I remembered the horror movie I watched when I was a child, the scene where a pair of red embroidered shoes appeared]

[As expected of a game planner, his ability to tell ghost stories is so great. 】

【Don’t dare to listen. 】

Lin Yuan looked at the screen of his mobile phone. In the lower left corner, he saw the words scared, shut up and stop talking.

Showing a mean smile, Lin Yuan felt relieved.

Chinese horror is definitely the coolest!

Different from bloody Western horror, Chinese horror is a horror theme that makes you more and more scared in the middle of the night, and the more you think about it, the more you think about it.

When Lin Yuan was a child, he watched horror movies, and there was a famous scene in which the red and white evil spirits meet and bump into each other. At that time, Lin Yuan didn't think it was scary, and the music was just average.

But as I get older and my cognition increases, the more I think about it, the more terrifying the scene becomes.

This is outrageous!

As age and cognition increase, Chinese people will adapt to Western horror themes and will be frightened but will not have any real psychological shadow. But what about Chinese horror?

It is precisely because as you grow older and know more, you will become more afraid.

Chinese-style terror is a product developed under the cultural and historical background. This kind of terror comes from the cognitive fear deep in the soul of the Chinese people.

And fireworks follow such a path!

For a time, there were fewer SCs in the live broadcast room, and more than 10,000 people in the live broadcast room also exited, leaving only frightened barrages.

Fireworks, a different horror game!
