Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

Blink of an eye, Monday night.

Golden Wind Game Company, Game Director Office.

Gu Sheng was holding the controller and playing the game with concentration.

In fact, according to regulations, Golden Wind's off-duty time is five o'clock.

But Gu Sheng is still more used to staying in the office until seven or eight o'clock before leaving.

Not working, just to stay in the company for a while, whether it is to brush your phone, make a cup of tea and watch videos, or even plug in the controller and play two games of Vampire Survivor like today.

Anyway, he is also a person who is full and the whole family is not hungry.

Instead of going home and facing an empty room, alone in a daze at a loss, it is better to stay in the company for a while.

At least, it seems reasonable to be alone in the office.

whoosh whoosh—

bass!

As the death scythe chopped off the little skull on the screen, Gu Sheng also put down the handle.

He raised his hand and looked at his Mickey watch. It was almost eight o'clock.

Let's go, go home.

After muttering something, Gu Sheng put away the handle, stood up and walked out of the office.

But just came out!

Gu Sheng couldn't help but whispered softly: Damn it's so violent...Did I see the palace of the king of hell?

See you!

In the meeting room at the end of the corridor, there was a light shining at this moment.

To know!

Their Golden Wind meeting room is usually a decoration, basically not used once in two or three months.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that Nezha used it as a private theater more times than he held meetings.

Therefore, the meeting room will not turn on the lights at ordinary times, and it is vacant most of the time.

But today!

It's almost eight o'clock in the evening!

The meeting room is still lit?

Most importantly, why is the color of the light red?

The office under the darkness of night, the empty corridor at the end, and the scary conference room with red lights.

grunt.

Even if Gu Cheng was so courageous, he couldn't help swallowing at this moment.

Thinking that Qingming has just passed a week, Gu Sheng couldn't help being a little skeptical:

What is this... the first seven awards ceremony?

Thinking about it, Gu Sheng stepped forward and tiptoed to the door of the meeting room that was emitting red light.

Gently push the door open a crack, peeking.

See, on the conference table, there is an ipad poked, and a plugged-in red candle on the left and right sides.

In front of the ipad, there was also a disposable paper cup with three thin cigarettes inserted in the cup.

The little Nezha, who was so strangely illuminated by the red light, was standing in front of the ipad at this moment, clasped his hands together, and muttered in his mouth, as if he was muttering something.

For a moment, Gu Sheng was a little at a loss.

But just when he was hesitating whether to turn around and leave or open the door to ask.

Little Nezha finished his muttering, bowed three times to the iPad, and then opened his eyes.

For a moment, the four eyes met.

There was a brief silence.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Shen Miaomiao screamed, and her whole body jumped up:

Gu Cheng, why are you acting like a ghost?!

Me? Like a ghost?

Gu Sheng couldn't believe his ears, pushed the door open, turned on the front camera of the phone, and turned the screen towards Shen Miaomiao:

Come on let me show you a baby—

Mom!

Seeing the 'female ghost' with distorted face and strange red eyes flashing on the screen, Shen Miaomiao backed up again and again, and fell down on the sofa with a thud:

ghost!

Then it's you fucking yourself.

Gu Sheng's head was full of black lines, and he turned on the lights in the meeting room.

He looked at the disposable paper cup incense burner on the meeting table, and then at Shen Miaomiao who was still in shock and panting.

so……

Gu Sheng was really confused about the situation in front of him:

Are you summoning something?

What are you talking about! What are you talking about!

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaomiao was not happy, she stood on the sofa with her hips akimbo, and reached out her hand to gesture for the iPad on the table:

Wu Caishen is above, don't dare to talk nonsense!

Hearing this, Gu Sheng turned his head to look, and saw on the ipad, there was a picture of a god statue of Master Guan.

……Wow.

Gu Sheng was silent for a long time before he let out an admiration:

What a fucking cyberway to burn incense.

The conditions... are limited,

Shen Miaomiao was also a little embarrassed and scratched her head:

The main thing is that sincerity leads to spirit.

Then I'll say bye too,

Seeing Shen Miaomiao's embarrassing appearance, Gu Sheng felt quite funny, and stood in front of Master Saiboguan, clasping his hands together:

Master Guan, please bless us with the wind of gold and prosperity, and all works are sold well...

Hey - shut up, you!

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaomiao's scalp became numb, and she jumped up with one stride, pulling Gu Sheng.

Immediately after taking the tablet, the screen was locked with a snap!

Why do you owe that mouth so much!

Shen Miaomiao wrinkled her little nose and glared at Gu Cheng!

How can such a wish be granted! How bad luck!

Gu Sheng was stunned!

You put Wu Caishen in the tablet...?

Because this is my Martial God of Wealth!

Shen Miaomiao hugged the tablet tightly, for fear that Gu Sheng would make any more unlucky wishes:

You can't use my God of Wealth to make a wish!

...Okay, ok, ok, your god of wealth,

Seeing Shen Miaomiao's coquettish and angry appearance, Gu Sheng smiled and raised his hands in surrender, and then asked:

Then can I ask you about your mental journey in the conference room at night? I just came out of the office and thought I saw the first seven party.

Because the first week's sales results of Left 4 Dead are about to come out!

Shen Miaomiao raised her neck:

I'll let Master Guan bless us, can't I?

Ah... don't bother Master Guan with this matter...

Gu Sheng shrugged:

Our current sales volume is already at the top, and our profit is certain. What else is there to worship?

What Gu Sheng said was correct.

From the perspective of the company and the market, the success of today's road to survival is beyond doubt.

After all, among the FPS works released at the same time as them, Guangyao Studio's fearless sniper is the most capable.

But now, through a creative workshop module, the fearless sniper that has been chasing and intercepting them has been trampled under their feet.

It can be said that in the domestic FPS market of the same period, they are no longer rivals.

It is precisely because of this that this time, everyone in the Golden Wind didn't pay much attention to the first week's sales, and they all went home from get off work on the settlement day.

But Shen Miaomiao's words were astonishing!

It's too small! Your layout is too small!

Little Nezha put his hands on his hips, righteously:

What I care about is whether we can realize the return on capital in the first week!

In a way, she wasn't lying.

After all, with her 100 times rebate card in hand, as long as she loses 1 yuan in the game, her small coffers will receive 100 yuan.

So, she begged Master Guan to bless her to make her lose more or less, even if it was 10,000, she would still get a million.

But in Gu Sheng's eyes!

Her image instantly grew taller, shining brightly!

hiss--

Hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but gasp!

You really deserve to be from a noble family!

Just when this group of people was still satisfied with the current achievements of Left 4 Dead!

Mr. Shen has already begun to expect the game to create a miracle of making money back in a single week!

have a look! have a look!

This is my position! People's idea! This pattern of people!

high! hard! Tall and hard!

Gu Sheng is more and more grateful that he has joined the Golden Wind!

Here, he not only has plenty of money to splurge on, making his favorite games, but even upgrading those classic games!

Moreover, the company has a good environment, enough food and drink, enough wages, and you can go to work to catch fish!

Even the boss can't bear to increase KPI for them, and if they have any expectations, they can only make a wish through the metaphysical way of burning incense and worshiping Buddha!

Where can I find such a company? !

Gu Sheng asked himself.

Even if you start your own company, you can't be as friendly and open-minded as Mr. Shen!

What a good boss...

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Shen Miaomiao cautiously ask: Old Gu, then you said that our work...can we get back the money in the first week?

Um--

Hearing this, Gu Sheng looked serious and pondered for a moment:

If there is no fearless sniper to disrupt the situation, it should not be difficult to pay back the first week,

However, their publicity at the first launch, coupled with their subsequent pursuit of us, still affected our sales to a certain extent,

But don't worry, even if you can't achieve the first week's payback, it's probably not much worse.

Gu Sheng's words made Shen Miaomiao both happy and anxious!

To know!

Lao Gu's judgment on the market has always been very accurate.

He said that it was difficult to recover the capital in the first week, so it should not be able to recover the capital.

However, he also said that even if he didn't pay back the capital, it wouldn't make much difference...

How much is this?

But damn it, don't lose a hundred and eighty cents to her like the vampire did that time, and get a hundred and eighty cents back!

If the final settlement result comes out, she will lose one yuan and give her a rebate of one hundred yuan. She may have to open the window and go downstairs on the spot!

Talking!

Didi-didi-didi-

The alarm clock that Shen Miaomiao had set earlier rang!

Gu Sheng raised his hand and looked at Mickey's watch: There is still a last minute, let's take a look together?

Um!

Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Then, the two turned their heads at the same time and looked at the large projection screen in front of the conference room!

There is Yiyou's developer background page!

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

Shen Miaomiao swallowed nervously, her heart was pounding and she closed her eyes, Old Gu, Lao Gu, report the data to me.

OK,

Gu Sheng nodded, then softly counted down the last three numbers:

Three, two, one...

Click!

The background page refreshes the data every hour!

Looking at the final weekly data summary, Gu Sheng pursed his lips, and then said in a deep voice:

The cost of Left 4 Dead is 10.85 million yuan, and the unit price is 85 yuan per copy. The final sales data of the first week is:

158,088 copies, the total sales volume is 13,437,480 yuan, after deducting commission, the final profit is—

10.75 million yuan,

...Unfortunately, it's only 100,000 yuan to pay back.

Five seconds!

There was dead silence in the conference room!

then!

Shen Miaomiao's trembling voice sounded from her eyes closed tightly: ...how much do you say?

10.75 million.

No, the last sentence.

I said——it's a pity, it's only a hundred thousand yuan short of the return. If the bastard Guangyao didn't disrupt the situation, we would definitely have paid back the first week...

Shen Miaomiao could no longer hear Gu Sheng's words clearly.

She carefully opened her eyes a little, and peeked at the large projection screen.

Above is their first week's results, and Gu Sheng's report is accurate.

next second.

Shen Miaomiao just listened to a beautiful crisp sound coming from her mind!

【Ding! time up! This round of investment settlement is complete! 】

Immediately afterwards, the system settlement interface appeared——

【Ding! Project loss detected! 】

【Project: Left 4 Dead】

[Project investment amount: 10.85 million yuan]

[Project loss amount: 100,000 yuan]

【Ding! The Super Guarantee Card is in effect! 100 times rebate bonus use! 】

[Project rebate amount: 10 million yuan]

[Remaining settlement time: 0]

【Ding! The loss settlement is completed, and the rebate has been issued to the host's personal bank card! 】

Then, the phone in Shen Miaomiao's hand vibrated!

Buzz——

[Your debit card account 1118, deposit 10,000,016.00 yuan in mobile banking on April 15th...]

Ten million! ! !

thick! present! crab!

Shen Miaomiao's intuitive head buzzed!

Repeatedly read the account number of the bank card twice!

And over there, Gu Sheng was still looking at the big screen and analyzing on his own:

It's okay, although it didn't reach the first week's profit, but after all, the total investment of the game is here,

The larger the investment project, the longer the profit cycle,

Besides, during this period, Guangyao Games has been blocking us in terms of publicity, which has led to our insufficient media publicity, basically relying solely on word of mouth from players,

In this case, in the subsequent announcement process, we need to do our best...

Old Gu!!!

Not finished!

He heard Shen Miaomiao's voice, interrupting his thoughts, his tone was full of suppressed excitement!

ah?

Gu Sheng didn't look back, but continued to look at the screen, analyzed it in his head, and answered casually:

What's wrong?

This sales volume is already exciting enough.

Behind him, Shen Miaomiao put away her mobile phone, and looked at Gu Sheng with her big watery eyes, a bright brilliance flashed in her pupils, her small mouth was slightly raised, as if she was about to laugh out loud in a second.

Yeah, Gu Sheng replied a little absent-mindedly, as if he was thinking about the future direction of development: Is it really exciting?

Shen Miaomiao nodded vigorously: I'm really excited!

Oh, how excited are you? In order not to let the words fall to the ground, Gu Sheng responded casually.

Then, Shen Miaomiao replied from behind, Yes—

talking!

Shen Miaomiao stepped back two steps, then slightly bent her knees and squatted down, as if about to jump long.

Immediately afterwards, aiming at Gu Sheng, he dashed out, and his lithe body leaped vertically!

Hey! So excited! Hahahaha——!!!

Shen Miaomiao succeeded in sneak attack and found herself a mount on the spot!

Ten million ah ten million!

To know!

It has been a year since she obtained the system!

And during this year, the maximum amount of rebate she got was only 50 yuan!

So, how could a full 10 million rebate not make her excited!

Oh shit!

Gu Cheng only felt a peach-like fragrance coming from behind him!

Immediately afterwards, two slender arms wrapped around his neck!

When he stabilized his figure, he realized that Shen Miaomiao was already hanging on him!

No? Why are you so excited to ride me?!

This is called Spring Breeze's triumphant horseshoe rush! Let's cooperate!

Shen Miaomiao patted Gu Sheng's shoulder:

Forget it, I don't understand if I tell you, sir!

You belong to the boss corporal punishment of employees!

Gu Sheng was dissatisfied and protested.

Physical punishment! Shen Miaomiao retorted, I'm only less than ninety catties, not ninety catties!

But I'm a director after all, and I have five people and six people every day. I'm an executive outside. This has to be seen by others, and it will have a lot of influence...

Please eat, you can order whatever you want.

Then... at most, I will carry you downstairs!

Can I order a song?

It's too much, Shen Miaomiao, have you ever seen someone's horse open its mouth and talk, I'm not a rocker!

Add a glass of luxury iced drink!

Daddy's daddy is called grandpa...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……

It's making noise!

Just then Gu Sheng's phone rang.

Amid Shen Miaomiao's excited laughter, Gu Sheng answered the phone:

Hi, I'm Gu Sheng.

A male voice came from the other end of the phone: Hi, Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to bother you, I'll call you today...

I do not need it, thank you.

When Gu Sheng heard that it was a telemarketing call, he said sorry and hung up the phone.

Then he pushed the door open and walked out of the meeting room with little Nezha...

PS: Little Nezha rode his director mount and waved: Ask for a monthly pass! ! !
