Develop the horror Silent Hill, scare players all over the world

It can be said that the level of sophistication of the development this time is far higher than that of the original "Dark Soul".

Not only in terms of games, but also in terms of personnel, Chen Mu contacted two new game designers, Fang Xuan and Da Zhuang, who exposed Zhou Liang on the Internet and saved the public opinion at that time. Chen Mu had to thank them, and finally After some discussion, the application of the two to join Shimmer was approved.

Fang Xuan is a senior game designer, and Da Zhuang is quite capable in marketing operations. The joining of the two is still profitable for Chen Mu.

On the Internet, the promotion of major games has been raging, Wangye's "Shanhai Handbook", Goose Factory's "Emperor of Glory", Raiden's "Devil Sword" and so on.

The methods of publicity are also very different, including celebrity endorsements, release of songs for publicity, advertisements for various variety shows... This time the game is of extraordinary significance. All major manufacturers want to be the first, and the development of the game is almost exhausted. The power of the field also spends a lot of money on publicity.

Of course, Yueyou and Shimmer are not idle either.

Chapter 149

The follow-up promotion of "Infinite Tribulation" is not as fanfare as the former one... On Yueyou's homepage, when you open the software, you will see the cover of "Infinite Tribulation". In addition, under the official blogs of Shimmer and Infinite Tribulation, some games will be released Video and cg.

The publicity is not painful or itchy, but for some reason, whenever the audience sees the advertisements of other big manufacturers, the first thing they think of is...

"Ah, "Eternal Tribulation" will be released at the end of the year, so looking forward to it!"

After the major manufacturers knew the thoughts in the hearts of these netizens, they all sighed... This shimmer, because of the super high game quality, is too popular, and now the game does not need to be promoted, or it can be done naturally "Rub publicity".

Old thief Chen Mu, how shameless!

……

Time flies, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

The 22nd lunar month is less than half a month away from the Spring Festival.

Chen Yu was already on vacation, and Chen Mu was free today... 99% of the development of "Infinite Tribulation" has been completed, and there are only a few small bugs left, which can be easily fixed.

There were no key issues, so Chen Mu was relieved to withdraw from the development. Because the Spring Festival was approaching, Chen Mu gave all the staff a Spring Festival holiday, and similarly, he also gave himself a holiday.

"I have to go home. After graduating from university, I haven't been home for a long time. I have been engaged in game development. I have to go home this year." Chen Mu thought to himself.

There has been an allusion of returning home in Huaguo since ancient times. Chen Mu feels that what he has achieved now can be regarded as clothing to a certain extent. The time is also close to the Spring Festival, which is a good time to go home.

A few days ago, Chen Mu discussed with Chen Yu about the time to go home, and finally decided on today. It just so happened that "The Infinity of Eternal Tribulation" was completed within Chen Mu's plan.

Chen Mu's hometown is in a small county called Jiangcheng in Huizhou. It is considered a middle-class family. His father works in a factory as a small supervisor, and his mother runs a small shop downstairs.

The pace of life in Jiangcheng is slow, and the transportation is not well developed. In the past, the life style of parents was considered good, otherwise they would not be able to support Chen Mu and Chen Yu to study in Hangzhou.

That night, Chen Mu drove to Huizhou, accompanied by Chen Yu and Zhang Ziyang. Although it was a return home, Chen Mu did not go home this time with much fanfare. Apart from the three of them, there was nothing else.

The journey was smooth, and because of the Spring Festival, traffic jams are the norm. Chen Mu couldn't help complaining in his heart: Chen Yu, the daredevil, asked her to book a ticket in advance, but she forgot, and now the tickets are sold out...

Rubbing his temples, Chen Mu forced himself to calm down. Long-distance driving requires a lot of energy. Chen Mu took turns driving with Zhang Ziyang along the way, and it took a full day and night to get there.

"Huh~ the familiar Jiangcheng..." Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Sitting in the car, I stared at the familiar street in front of me. Pedestrians in twos and threes wrapped in big padded jackets walked through the street. The camphor trees beside the street were covered with white snow, and the breeze rolled up layers of snowflakes...

Chen Yu was a little excited, and shouted with a flushed face: "It's snowing, Chen Mu, do you remember making snowmen when you were young?"

"Of course I remember, carrots taste good." Chen Mu smiled slightly.

As soon as he heard this, Chen Yu immediately became angry, his face was puffed up, and he cursed "Damn it".

That was when they were very young. She remembered that it took a whole morning to build a big snowman downstairs, but in the end, Chen Mu was so unreasonable. The nose (a carrot) was pulled out, baji baji was eaten, and even burped.

Feeling that the fruit of his labor was being trampled on, the young Xiao Yu broke the defense on the spot and ignored Chen Mu for three full days.

Whenever Chen Yu thought of this, he became angry.

Is that how carrots are eaten? !

That is the nose of the little snowman!

……

After driving into the community and coming to the familiar gate, Chen Mu could see the excitement on Chen Yu's face, and it was the same on his own face. After taking a few deep breaths, he knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Here we come..." There were hurried footsteps in the house. After opening the door, a middle-aged woman came into view. There were two wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was wearing an apron. with a spatula.

"Mom." Chen Mu and Chen Yu said in unison.

"Xiao...Xiao Mu, Xiao Yu..." The woman froze for a moment, and the corners of her eyes began to tremble slightly.

Chen Mu hugged his mother, Ms. Wei Han, who hadn't been back for a year, and the longing in his heart was released at this moment.

"We're back, mom." Chen Mu said heavily.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..." Wei's mother touched the head of her son who was taller than herself, then turned her head and shouted: "Old Chen, your son is back!"

Hearing the sound, the old Chen wearing glasses also rushed over, looked at Chen Mu, nodded towards Chen Mu, with a gratified smile on his face, patted Chen Mu on the shoulder and cursed:

"It's been so long before I know I'm coming back."

Although he was scolding, Chen Mu could clearly see the gratified expression on his father's face. Old Chen was just proud, and he didn't seem to blame him at all.

Chen Mu also laughed. Old Chen was like this. In his impression, he was always arrogant.

Wei Han took Chen Mu and Chen Yu's hands and said, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside, you haven't eaten yet, Lao Chen cooks quickly, the two children are still hungry, come here from such a long distance..."

As expected of a mother, there are always endless things to say... Familiar formula, familiar taste... Chen Mu and Chen Yu smiled at each other, changed their shoes and hurried into the living room.

My mother closed the door, and the air-conditioning outside subsided, but the temperature inside the house was still not high. Chen Mu sat on the sofa and found the remote control: "It's so cold, I don't want to turn on the air conditioner."

Familiar environment, familiar background, as soon as he entered the room, Chen Mu was suddenly overwhelmed by the rush of memories, pulling him back to the familiar mode of getting along.

"It's cold outside, drink two cups of hot tea to warm up." Wei Han brought two cups of hot tea, put them in the hands of Chen Mu and Chen Yu, and cursed: "You two children, you don't know what to say when you come back. , Nothing is prepared at home."

Chen Mu waved his hand and said, "No need to prepare anything."

Suddenly he slapped his head and asked:

"By the way, Mom, last time I heard what happened in Dad's factory? How is Dad doing now?"

Chapter 150

"He, there's nothing wrong with him, you can ask him yourself." Wei Han called Old Chen over.

Hearing his son ask about it, Lao Chen waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

"It's just that this year's economic downturn, the factory has been losing money, it's not a big deal..."

The factory has been losing money... Chen Mu frowned. Normally, the factory is losing money, and the boss will reduce the size under certain circumstances. In other words, the factory will lay off employees.

and so……

"Old Chen, are you going to be laid off?" Chen Mule said, "That's great!"

Mom kicked him lightly: "How did you talk?"

"Being laid off, the family is not short of money now, and working in the factory is too much work, Dad, why don't you just hold a water glass, go to the park to play chess with those old men, and enter retirement life early." Chen Mu laughed.

Old Chen and Ms. Wei should also know how rich I am by now, and I'm on the rich list... Chen Mu murmured in his heart that one of the meanings of making money is to let his parents who have been working hard enjoy life.

Now when I go home and look, nothing has changed. What is this?

When Ms. Wei heard this, she was unhappy: "If you have money, don't use it indiscriminately. When the money is used up, Lao Chen will deposit the money you sent in the bank for you. In the future, you will get married, and you will still have money." To have a child, Xiaoyu will also get married in the future, with a dowry, when we are old..."

Well, I knew... Chen Mu was a little helpless. As long as he could remember, Lao Chen and Ms. Wei were honest people, especially Lao Chen, who was rigorous in his work and meticulous in his dealings with others.

Even now that money has become a string of numbers, they don't have the slightest idea of ​​changing their lives.

Including Lao Chen's reluctance to leave the factory, the biggest reason is that he doesn't want to suddenly change his way of life.

Chen Mu heard a story before. It was about a young man who, after earning money, planned to bring his family living in the countryside to the city. After the family came, they found that the old people in the community were fine, so they danced in the square or exercised in the park. , there is no crop land, no chickens and dogs barking, a few old people are not used to it, and ran back to the countryside after living for a few days, saying that it is still comfortable here.

Lao Chen and Ms. Wei are in this state now.

The way of life of a lifetime can be changed, but it needs to be changed slowly.

Chen Mu simply didn't care about it, Lao Chen did whatever he felt comfortable with, if they wanted to live a more luxurious life one day, he was fully capable of taking them to enjoy it now.

"Jingle Bell……"

At this moment, Lao Chen's mobile phone rang. When Lao Chen picked up the mobile phone, he frowned suddenly, and then went to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Ah, yes...that's it...what, you want to come over?...now...ah, it's almost there?!"

Old Chen didn't know who he was calling, but the voice was getting louder and louder, as if someone was coming home... Chen Mu pondered in his heart, and then glanced at Chen Yu, she was teasing the cat, having a great time Almost.

Old Chen hung up the phone, walked over from the balcony, and said to Ms. Wei, "Clean up a bit, the boss of the factory is coming over suddenly."

"Ah, because of the factory layoffs?" Ms. Wei was shocked.

Lao Chen nodded, then shook his head to show he was fine.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Lao Chen hurried over to open the door. A fat middle-aged man walked in, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

This was the factory owner. Chen Mu had met him once. He was a very rich boss, but he didn't have the airs of a rich man. Before he came in, he put on his shoe covers, and then he walked in and took the tea with both hands.

"Old Chen, is this your son?" The boss Liang Daguang felt that Chen Mu looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize who it was, so he nodded towards Chen Mu and asked Old Chen.

"Chen Mu and Chen Yu just came back today." Old Chen said afterwards.

Chen Mu, such a familiar name... Liang Daguang shook his head, there were many familiar names, so he exchanged greetings with old Chen Han without thinking too much.

When guests came to the house, Chen Mu couldn't sit still, so he took Chen Yu out for a walk.

Here, after Liang Daguang greeted Lao Chen, he got to the point: "Old Chen, you also know the current situation in the factory. The economy has become more and more sluggish in the past few years, and the pressure of competition for VR equipment is increasing. , the factory has been losing money for the past two years, and this year the loss is even worse..."

"You are also an old employee of the factory, and you know these things."

Old Chen nodded. He naturally knew all this. As an old employee of the factory, he knew more about the inside story than many people, and he also knew that layoffs in the factory were helpless.

The factory Quanmin Huake VR Electronic Equipment Factory mainly produces VR chips for Huake enterprises.

Speaking of VR equipment, there are currently four pillars in China, namely Penguin VR, Xiaomi VR, Huawei VR, and Lenovo VR. At present, these four in China are in the same category. In recent years, the momentum has been growing and they are gradually occupying the VR market. More than 80.00% of the total, coupled with strong capital.

It is conceivable that in the not-too-distant future, companies like Huake VR will soon withdraw from the stage of the VR industry.

It is also because these four major companies are becoming stronger and stronger, the VR market is gradually being eroded, Huake's income economy is struggling, and the branch factories here are always facing losses.

Lao Chen is very aware of this. He has worked in the factory for nine years. Before Huake started VR production, he had already worked here, and he understood the situation here very well.

"The factory needs fresh blood. If the factory can make money, it's okay to support your old employees. The key is to keep losing money. Alas, there is nothing we can do." Liang Daguang shook his head and sighed again.

Old Chen's face was serious, he understood what Liang Daguang said.

Young people are more energetic. After a short period of training, they are more efficient at work and can give some ideas from time to time. The wages are lower, which is indeed better than middle-aged people like them who are nearly 50 years old.

He had to admit.

"Well, old Chen, we won't make it difficult for you. Here is 5 yuan, which is your hard-earned money over the years. In addition, we will promise to help you find a good job..."

Liang Daguang opened his backpack, which contained a wad of banknotes.

Old Chen's expression was a little bitter, and his expression was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to, but he couldn't help it.

Lao Chen didn't pick it up immediately, his brows were serious, Liang Daguang didn't speak at all, the room fell into silence, only the sound of the TV kept ringing.

Inside is the news:

[Xiuguang said that "Infinity to Eternal Tribulation" will be released in a week's time, which has aroused heated discussions among netizens. For players, whether the release of "Infinity to Eternal Tribulation" in the New Year's file is the best gift that Shimmer can give players ? 】

[I believe that many players are looking forward to the release of "Infinite Tribulation", but before that, let us review Mr. Chen Mu's speech at the exhibition. 】

Chapter 151 The Dumbfounded Liang Daguang

Chen...Mu!

Looking at the picture shown on the TV, Liang Daguang, who was sitting on the sofa, turned pale with shock on the spot. The familiar figure above and the familiar name made him petrified on the spot.

"This, this... this..." Liang Daguang turned his head anxiously to look at Lao Chen, and suddenly stood up in shock: "Your son is Chen Mu?!"

Old Chen nodded in relief, "It's my son."

boom!Liang Daguang was almost dizzy, and thought, "Old Chen, you look serious, I didn't expect you to be dishonest, playing the trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger."

Your son is Chen Mu, so tell me earlier!

I knew this a long time ago, how could I dare to dismiss you, I have long regarded you as an auspicious baby, and your financial resources are more than enough to buy the entire factory, so you let me be a small supervisor?

Don't you play me!

Liang Daguang almost knelt down, and asked in a trembling voice: "Your son is the Chen Mu who created Shimmer, is known as a legend in the game industry, has dominated the rankings for the past six months, has remained high in popularity, and is worth hundreds of millions? ! "
