The strongest game producer

Xiao Gou's illness really wasn't his fault.

He went to and from get off work normally and did not do anything extra.But one day the temperature dropped, he coughed a few times, and then developed a fever that night.

After he developed a fever, Xiao Gou carried it without saying anything, and waited until his condition got worse. Although he was really too lazy to go out at the time, but with Qiao Hong around, Qiao Hong carried Xiao Gou into the car without saying a word, and went to the private school. The hospital called the emergency department.

The reason why it is a private hospital is of course because there are too many people in public hospitals.As long as private hospitals are willing to spend money, they can get the fastest treatment.

The doctors in the private hospital that Qiao Hong selected couldn't be less skilled, but Xiao Gou's fever returned shortly after it subsided, and there were other complications.

Xiao Gou was so frightened that he asked the system if his time was running out and he hadn't completed the main task yet, and now he was about to die.Of course, the system said that the fault was not blamed, and the task time limit was clearly written in the task description, and there was absolutely no hidden clause.

Xiao Gou was suspicious.So it's just a common cold?

Xiao Gou's high fever persisted for several days. Although he himself felt that there was no other major problem except a little weakness, Qiao Hong's eyes were already red with anxiety.In the end, Qiao Hong approached Mr. Zou for help. As soon as Mr. Zou heard this, he immediately sent someone to take Xiao Gou to the hospital where he had a physical examination, and organized an expert consultation.

Xiao Gou is a talent from Huaguo!Great talent!Absolutely can't go wrong!

In fact, Qiao Hong could achieve this effect with money, but Qiao Hong was really panicked, and subconsciously asked for help from the most powerful elder in his heart.Elder Zou felt Qiao Hong's weak dependence, and felt more distressed for Qiao Hong, and the relationship between the two became closer.

After an expert consultation, the expert couldn't laugh or cry and said that Xiao Gou's body was too weak.To explain it with the saying of dropping the book bag, Xiao Gou has been overdrawn for a long time and has excessive energy, and he doesn't like to exercise, so he becomes sick from overwork.They are very proficient in this kind of overworked disease, because their physical examinations are basically the group of people who will be overworked.So the method of recuperation has been perfected.

However, experts still told Xiao Gou, don't take your body seriously because you are young, sometimes you feel that your body is fine, it's just because you have a good body.When the inside is empty, a little illness may kill you.

Xiao Gou doubts life.Are you working so hard?Isn't it just staying up late... staying up late, he also slept back the next day!

Experts say that it is impossible to make up for sleep by staying up late.In today’s society, young people are under a lot of work pressure. It’s already very late when they get home from work, but they just wash up and go to sleep. When they close their eyes and open them, they have to go to work again, so they desperately want to play for a while. Staying up late is inevitable. .But after the threshold of 30 years old, you will find that your body can't stand it anymore.

The expert finally added, oh, I know you didn't stay up late to play games, you stayed up late to play games.

Xiao Gou looked embarrassed.It's as if the culprit for young people staying up late these days is him playing games.

Of course, the expert didn't mean that. He just said casually, hoping that Xiao Gou would take care of his body.Although medical experts depend on curing diseases for a living, most of the medical staff hope that there will be fewer people who get sick. They are used to seeing life and death parting, and they are particularly anxious about people who don't cherish their bodies.

Although they often die from overwork in order to work.

It's not easy for everyone.

Xiao Gou and the expert quickly reached an alliance of complaining about death from overwork, and the atmosphere seemed to be joyful, but the atmosphere here at Qiao Hong was not joyful at all.

He regretted that he didn't hold Xiao Gou back, listened to his lies, and allowed him to work overtime and stay up late without exercising.Now Xiao Gou is sick from overwork and has been hospitalized for several days with a slight cold. Wouldn't there be more terrible things in the future?

So under the treatment of experts, Xiao Gou, who will soon be discharged from the hospital, was forced to be locked up by Qiao Hong in a nursing home. He faced green mountains and green waters every day, ate a nutritional package, and someone accompanied Xiao Gou to exercise regularly.It was impossible for Qiao Hong to leave Xiao Gou alone in the nursing home, so he also lived in and worked directly in the nursing home.

Xiao Gou was very distressed.He was sick this time, just like many people. He hadn't caught a cold for several years, and he had to infuse fluids for several days when he caught a cold.But this is indeed a small problem. Experts say it is serious, but more bluntly, it is a common sub-health state of modern people.

Who doesn't have sub-health these days?What's the big deal?

But seeing Qiao Hong's face as if facing a formidable enemy, Xiao Gou was really embarrassed to brush off Qiao Hong's kindness.

Forget it, just take it as a vacation for yourself, it's not bad to be so leisurely once in a while.The upgrade of Red Dog Home is not very urgent. Other studios of Red Dog Games are also working step by step. Red Dog Technology does not need to worry about it. Qiao Hong is fully responsible for Red Dog Paradise. It seems that I can indeed rest.

Xiao Gou went to bed early and woke up early, and ate three meals a day with a full stomach.Waking up early to practice Tai Chi, running at night, and doing yoga and climbing mountains from time to time, although he always wanted to be lazy, seeing Qiao Hong's concern, he endured it, and he didn't refuse the unpalatable tonic.

Red Dog Games issued an announcement, and Qiao Hong described Xiao Gou's minor cold and sub-health as a serious illness. Overwork seemed to be dying soon, which frightened the players so much that they let Xiao Gou Xiao Gou has a good rest, we have to keep flowing, one game every year...or even one 3A masterpiece every two years is fine, the puppy must always make fun games for us, and we must not get sick.

Xiao Gou swiped the blessings of the players, and someone with such a good skin like him felt a little embarrassed.

He has recovered from his illness a long time ago, and now he is just taking care of Qiao Hong's anxiety.

Another week later, under Xiao Gou's dog-eye attack, Qiao Hong finally let go, and Xiao Gou could go home and go to work.But staying up late is forbidden now, and I work out with him at least once a week.If Xiao Gou really doesn't like the gym, then he can go hiking, cycling and swimming.

Xiao Gou said weakly: "Sometimes there is no way to stay up late. I can only try my best not to stay up late when it is not urgent, but when it is time to stay up late, there is really no way. I have to sit in charge. Many technical problems, only I can solve them." Done."

Qiao Hong couldn't refuse: "If you do less games every year, don't make the time so tight, how can there be so many places where you need to stay up late?"

Xiao Gou said in a low voice: "But I don't know what else I can do other than playing games. Although I can help you with some administrative work, it's not what I'm good at... The point is! I'll feel bored!"

Seeing Xiao Gou's appearance, Qiao Hong couldn't help but soften his heart: "I didn't tell you not to make games. You can only make one large-scale game a year, and make some mobile games in other time. The idea is more novel for those that don't make money. If you really want to make a holographic game, you can also make a game with a shorter plot, a more traditional gameplay, and a game that doesn’t require a lot of work. Or a game where the workload doesn’t lie in the program? The Silent Red Butterfly last time was pretty good."

"I know you have filled up your little book with ideas, and you have too many games you want to make. Even the previous games, such as Fairy Sword, Gotham, and Pokemon, there must be a second and third part of these games, Spiritual Warfare, and Endless. It needs to be updated continuously. You can’t finish new games, and you don’t have time to make the second and third parts of old games. But you can’t finish all these games by yourself. The technology of Red Dog programmers is in place , you should also develop from the identity of a programmer to a pure master plan. Why can't you control several projects at the same time and let different game studios make games for you?"

Qiao Hong wanted to say these words a long time ago, but seeing Xiao Gou's love for his work, he was not sure if Xiao Gou would be unhappy if he said this.

He's not a game designer, but he's seen many people with the title of XX designer.For many designers, their own work is treated like a controlling parent treats their children, and they absolutely do not allow others to have their hands on it.Stella, who shaped the myth of the game industry in the world before Red Dog, Leon still dominates the games he made.There are no other game studios under his umbrella, only the game "operations team".

Generally speaking, Leon is responsible for making the game, and the rest of the company is responsible for subsequent sales and operations.

Perhaps for designers, this kind of studio-like company is the ideal company.Qiao Hong is not sure if Xiao Gou thinks so.

But now Xiao Gou exhausted his body and made him sick... Well, after Qiao Hong calmed down, he also understood that this was just a small problem, and he cared too much.But he was really afraid that Xiao Gou's many small problems would accumulate into big problems.

The development of Red Dog is getting better and better. As the leader of the company, Xiao Gou should learn to let go appropriately.

"Distribute some games to other people, and I am only responsible for grasping the main direction and...review?" Xiao Gou is not a person with a strong desire for power, but Red Dog develops too fast, and he is not a professional manager. I haven’t broken away from the small workshop yet, “It seems to be a good way to do this. I’ll start from the beginning, and in the future, the second part of the game, updates, etc., can be handed over to other game studios. That’s what we decided before. Now maybe some of my Game ideas can also be handed over to other game studios. But these young people are still too timid, and no team dares to tell me to make holographic games alone.”

Xiao Gou, who was obviously very young himself, was still old-fashioned and said that others were young, which made Qiao Hong almost unable to hold back his serious expression.

"Originally, I wanted to stimulate them after the appearance of Jinghuayuan. But... well, I am old, maybe I can't wait for the day when they grow up. I have to give them a push. The form of the training meeting in the future should be Changed it. I have to assign tasks instead of letting them play freely. I am so busy, how can they look at the mobile game in front of them and feel complacent and self-sufficient?"

Qiao Hong couldn't help speaking for the group of employees: "I don't think they are complacent and complacent, they are just too cautious."

"If you're too cautious, you're going to be complacent." Xiao Gou continued to use idioms indiscriminately, "Okay, let's have a meeting when we get back."

Seeing Xiao Gou's free and easy delegating power, Qiao Hong suddenly felt that he should mourn for a few seconds of silence for Red Dog's employees for some reason.

It must be that he is too tired recently, and he has the illusion of being tired.He should also train more people to share his work, otherwise Xiao Gou will be unrestrained and he will be exhausted instead.

……

Xiao Gou has always acted vigorously and resolutely. After he returned to the company, he immediately held a staff meeting and told them very seriously, sons, I decided not to protect you, let you face the storm by yourself.From now on, you don't want to be free and lazy, I will assign tasks to you!

"You are already mature game studios, it's time to learn how to make [-]A masterpieces by yourself." Xiao Gouyu said earnestly, "Well, I won't favor one over another in the future. Newly established game studios have a one-year buffer period. I will not assign tasks to you this year, you can make mobile games, computer games or semi-virtual games by yourself, and get used to it. One year later, if your assessment is up to standard, then I will lead you to make a holographic game."

"The leader I'm talking about is not the kind of leader I used to be the main one. I'm just a chief planner. I can at most give you a concept draft to tell you the effect I want to achieve, and the rest of the art, plot, program, etc. You can handle everything by yourself. In other words, it’s the same as propositional composition, I will give you a topic or central idea, and you will write all the articles yourself.”

"The game studio also has an elimination mechanism. The early stage is the most stringent. If the buffer period of the first year fails to meet the target, I will give you another year. If you fail to reach it, you will be disbanded and continue to work with me or other studios. ;If you mess up this holographic game in the second year, then leave the holographic field again, come back after a year of hard work, fail again, and still disband; if you complete the first task I gave, then this game studio will It’s a true independent game studio.”

"Studios that pass the assessment, you will gain greater freedom and more resources at your disposal. Studios that pass the assessment only need to produce a [-]A-level holographic game that can be recognized by the market in two years. If you fail, I will give you a chance, you can fight for another two years, if you still can’t meet your expectations, then I will continue to write essays for you, and everything will follow the original rules. In other words, you will be downgraded one by one.”

"However, you don't have to worry about the difficulty of this task. Because first of all, the holographic game IP I gave you for the assessment is your own, and it is a ceremony for the 'teacher' game studio. In the future, you can rely on this Developing a series of games based on game IP is like the current Four Seasons Studio’s Flower in a Mirror. You can make it independently, or you can find others to cooperate, it’s all your freedom.”

"Then, although there will be no mandatory tasks. If you have no good ideas, I will regularly list some spare concept drafts at the training meeting. If you are interested, you can apply to me yourself."

"..."

At the training conference, Xiao Gou described in detail the "Game Studio Grade Plan" that he, Qiao Hong, and Hou Rui formulated. Since then, the game studio has been divided into ABC and third grades.If they can't complete their respective mission objectives, they will be downgraded one by one, and finally they will be disbanded.Although the game studio is disbanded, the employees will not be dismissed, but will be scattered into other game studios, but the mental blow to them is huge.Moreover, the top management of an independent game studio must get the most share.

As soon as Xiao Gou's plan was announced, Red Dog's employees didn't know whether to be happy or worried.It is true that after the specific assessment, it seems that the pressure on the head is even greater.But more importantly, Xiao Gou forced them to take the step of making holographic games by themselves. They could even directly use Xiao Gou's ideas to make games. Perhaps, they could also get big IPs such as Immortal Sword and Gotham.Then this share can be enough to eat and drink for a lifetime.

They never expected Xiao Gou to be so generous.Although this may be more beneficial to Red Dog, but to Xiao Gou himself, he lost a lot of money.In the past, these IPs were all dominated by him alone.

However, Xiao Gou has always taken care of his employees, and he is also cultivating employees' awareness of independent game production, which is not unusual.

"I originally wanted to wait for you for a few more years. It's not right to pluck the seedlings and encourage them to grow. But when I was so tired that I went to the hospital, I realized that I am not as powerful as I imagined, and I can protect you for so long." Xiao Gou With a vicissitudes on his face, Qiao Hong couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching.This guy, why didn't he be serious for a long time, and started to play tricks again?

"I hope that Red Dog is not my own Red Dog. Red Dog is a kind of spirit, a kind of culture, and a kind of belief. Without me, Xiao Gou, Red Dog is still Red Dog, and it is still a game of conscience in the minds of players. Enterprises can still produce good games that make the world jaw-dropping. Red Dog is not a game studio for me, Xiao Gou, but a game company. In the future, it will become a large-scale business empire focusing on game production and game hardware. , The glory of Red Dog will be created by each of us!" Xiao Gou began to shout slogans.

But it works well.Qiao Hong glanced at the staff of Red Dog, and said in his heart.

Perhaps Xiao Gou is not a professional business manager, but he should be a qualified business leader.At least, he can consciously or unconsciously mobilize the morale of Red Dog employees and become Red Dog's stable spiritual core.

Qiao Hong took the lead in applauding Xiao Gou.Xiao Gou's eyelids twitched.

Oops, I accidentally got too complacent and didn't follow the draft given by Da Qiao.Da Qiao's smile and applause now mean to settle accounts after autumn?If I go home and kneel on the keyboard, the one with the black switch, can it calm down Da Qiao.

Xiao Gou thought very seriously.

But Qiao Hong didn't let him kneel down on the keyboard in the end, gratifying, gratifying, gratifying, Xiao Gou breathed a sigh of relief.

……

After the training meeting, Zhang Tan and Wu Haoyu were called to the office by Xiao Gou.

As the first batch of people who established a game studio, the mobile games of the two of them have passed the market verification, and they can still provide Red Dog with a lot of income.

The two also led the members of the studio to enter the semi-virtual field, and also launched several interesting holographic mini-games on the Red Dog Home, but have no plans to enter the holographic [-]A level game.However, the two of them have led the game studio for more than a year, and such an achievement is already remarkable.

If it weren't for Red Dog, they might not be doing their first mobile game right now.

However, the game studio of the two of them met the newly set C-level game studio promotion criteria, so they knew at the meeting that they were about to face severe challenges.But before they could go back to encourage the employees, and encourage themselves by the way, they were directly called to the office by Xiao Gou.

The two smiled wryly at each other.Boss Xiao was still in a hurry as always, and he didn't give people any buffer time at all.

"Hey, here we come. I think you guys are also mentally prepared?" Xiao Gou said with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Gou's familiar smirk, the two wanted to say "ready", but in the end they were very cowardly and honest: "Not yet..."

"There is no other way, you have to set an example. There are several studios that have not even made a name for themselves in the mobile game market. Moreover, you two are the direct descendants of me and Da Qiao. Do you know that the high-level internal There is also a struggle for rights. You see, Mr. Hou’s direct troops are about to release a cross-era [-]A-level luxury masterpiece, and you don’t even have a decent holographic game, which makes it difficult for Da Qiao and me to be human.”

Zhang Tan and Wu Haoyu were dumbfounded.Boss Xiao, Mr. Hou is sitting next to you. Do you see his eyes rolling up to the sky?How can anyone talk about power struggles, in front of me?And you pretend that we don't know that Four Seasons is your full support. In order to make a name for Four Seasons, you don't allow anyone from Red Dog to be named in the production list of Jinghuayuan holographic game?

"Cough cough." Qiao Hong coughed dryly twice.

"All in all, it's time for you to complete the composition." After hearing Qiao Hong's dry cough, Xiao Gou immediately got to the point, "Considering that you don't have many people, I don't make it difficult for you. Production, the concept draft is here, you go back and study it. You can propose changes to the character design and plot. Xianjian is the first holographic game of our Red Dog, and it is also the first game of Huaguo to win the best game of the year. I think you two should be very clear about the significance of the dog to the country of China. If you can’t do it well, you will be cut into seppuku... This is the patent of the islanders. If you can’t do it well, you can kill yourself in Wujiang. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are also successful, and I will give it to you on Qingming Festival Flowers..."

"Cough, cough, cough." Qiao Hong looked at Zhang Tan and Wu Haoyu with pale faces, and coughed dryly again.

Xiao Gou put away his mouthful of train, and seamlessly got to the point: "Let me tell you about this concept draft. The first part of Xianjian is not perfect except for the plot because of the personnel and time. The second part of Xianjian , I am going to make a real action game. Its selling point is not only the plot, but also the refreshing sense of attack. The plot and so on, you are all people who have experienced the first part of the fairy sword, and you have designed a lot of it yourself. Less good stories, I think you will not let me down. The key is action! Action! Sense of attack! Sense of attack! The second part of Xianjian should highlight a feeling of people blocking killing gods blocking killing gods! This time it is not fate! Yes Break through fate!"

"The fate of the first part makes the plot of the fairy sword very depressing, making people think that the fairy sword is a tragedy. However! In the second part, we want to break through it! Break through the shackles that all players put on the fairy sword!..."

Seeing Xiao Gou's mouth hanging like a river dancing with his hands, Qiao Hong held his forehead, feeling that even a dry cough could not save Zhang Tan and Wu Haoyu.
