Cannon Fodder Genius Game Producer

As many people expected, after the first day of the public beta, the gap between the best-selling positions of "Wasteland" and "Yi Nian Xian Mo" on the list has widened.

In fact, on the second day of the public beta, the download volume of "Wasteland" is still as high as 56, and the download volume in two days has already exceeded one million. I believe that on the third day of the public beta, it will directly reach the level of 150 million downloads .

In terms of downloads alone, "Wasteland" is very in line with its status as an S-level game. With the promotion of the WG platform and Huanyu Company's strong marketing, "Wasteland" has become famous all over the country.

However, the daily turnover of "Wasteland" on the second day of the public beta has dropped significantly, and the single-day turnover of the entire platform has dropped from tens of millions to barely reaching 700 million. On the first day, the number of players increased further. On the first day, players were still exploring in the game. Theoretically, the turnover figures would not have such a drastic change.

In contrast to "Wasteland", "Yi Nian Xian Mo"'s single-day total platform sales exceeded 30 million, and the single-day downloads also skyrocketed from 50 the previous day to [-]. The game has completely embarked on a healthy cycle of explosions.

***

In the meeting room of the WG platform, on the second day of the public beta, Wang Fei had already signed a new share contract for "One Thought Immortal Demon" with the WG platform on behalf of the public beta.

Seeing the ratio change from three to seven to seven to three, Li Ming, the business manager representing the WG platform, smiled wryly.

"Manager Wang, it's amazing to not lose to the studio!" Li Ming praised sincerely.

With a proper business smile on his face, Wang Fei shook hands with Li Ming: "Where is it, thanks to the WG platform and Manager Li's support."

Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth twitching—the focus of the WG platform's publicity during this time was on "Wasteland", and the promotion of "Yi Nian Xian Mo" is completely the standard of a C-level project. What is worthy of Wang Fei's thanks for the support.

But these words can be said in the heart, but they can never be said out of the mouth.

Li Ming then smiled and nodded to Wang Fei: "Please rest assured, Manager Wang, our team has already prepared a brand new publicity plan and promotion plan for "One Thought Immortal Demon" before our contract for "One Thought Immortal Demon" is re-signed." Advertisement space, at the same time that our contract is signed and effective, the new S-level promotion plan has all started to be promoted. The WG platform, live broadcast room, forum, and WGAPP screen push are all ready, including the server support for "Yi Nian Xian Mo". It has been directly pulled to the top, and I hope that the studio can continue to ensure high-quality content output in the future, so as to maintain the enthusiasm of players for "Yi Nian Xian Mo", so that we can cooperate and win-win."

Facing a mature business manager like Li Ming, Wang Fei certainly wouldn’t make things difficult on purpose. Next, the WG platform’s guarantee for "One Thought Immortal Demon" is already full, just like what Li Ming said, the rest will have to be ignored. Lost the ability of the studio.

After Wang Fei returned to the BUBA studio, he handed over the brand new contract to Pei Shu.

"A new contract has been signed."

Pei Shu accepted the contract with a smile, nodded, and said, "Lao Wang has worked hard."

Wang Fei didn't intend to leave, but sat down directly in front of Pei Shu, as if he wanted to talk to Pei Shu.

Pei Shu probably knew what Wang Fei was going to say.

really.

Wang Fei turned around and took his office notebook, and directly submitted a new smart planning form and the personnel requirements for maintaining the normal version development of the current "Yi Nian Xian Mo" project to follow-up maintenance operations, as well as assuming that the studio has new projects to be put into development The number of personnel required is all listed.

"Pei Shu, it's time to recruit."

Hearing Wang Fei's words, before Pei Shu could say anything, Jiang Ziye and Qiu Boyu's ears perked up.

at last!

Are you hiring? !

They have been looking forward to this day for so long!

As for Qiu Boyu and Jiang Ziye, they are now the pillars of the program and plot of the studio. Forget about Qiu Boyu, he has also had relevant work experience in Jixing Studio, and he is a mature programmer. The development pressure is a bit heavier, but he still has the outsourcing brother to bear the exploitation of Pei Shu and Jiang Ziye with him, so he can still bear it.

What about Jiang Ziye?

A simple and honest college graduate who has just received his diploma, even if he has made some small independent games himself, but that is different from commercial games.

After entering the Bulo studio, Pei Shu ruthlessly used Jiang Ziye as a mature old copywriter. Pei Shu would only tell Jiang Ziye his conception of the world view, and only a very simple copy was thrown to Jiang Ziye at the initial stage. Rough world view planning documents and world view elements are defined.

Jiang Ziye gritted his teeth and gnawed down the two documents, and then under the pressure of Pei Shu, adjusted the plot background setting, world geography setting, dungeon setting and a series of character settings one version after another. .

After the setting is completed, there will be a series of plot backgrounds starting from the initial questioning. At the same time, because a large number of settings come from him, he also needs to communicate with the person in charge of outsourced art under pressure to communicate some art needs.

In the later stage, he still needs to communicate with Wang Fei about the development time of the plot version according to the progress of the game production, and at the same time communicate with Pei Shu which content is more important. Only time will have the opportunity to experience it, and content production can be postponed.

In short, in just a few months, Jiang Ziye grinded down the plot content of "One Year Immortal Demon" by himself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he worked hard.

There was no way to do it before, but after the public beta of "One Thought Immortal Demon", the crazy data told them - their project exploded!

This is of course good news, and the even better news is—the project exploded = the studio has money = the studio can recruit new people! !

As long as they think of this, both Jiang Ziye and Qiu Boyu can't wait to hold hands and look at each other's tears, abandoning the old suspicion of dog plotting and program torturing each other and hugging each other.

Of course Pei Shu has no problem with finding someone. If he didn't recruit before, wouldn't he be poor?

However, looking at Wang Fei's plan for recruiting newcomers in his workbook, Pei Shu raised his eyebrows at Lao Wang amusedly: "Old Wang, it seems that you have been thinking about recruiting new people for a long time?"

Wang Fei ignored him and rolled his eyes at him.

After scanning Wang Fei's recruiting plan with a smile, Pei Shu pushed the notebook to Wang Fei: "Okay, Lao Wang, you are more familiar with this matter than I am, so you can make a decision. Besides, I will see your list." It seems that you are not assigned an assistant for yourself, you should also assign yourself a high-level assistant, and let the assistant handle some errands and basic negotiating matters."

As a project manager with Wang Fei's fortune, it's unreasonable not to have an assistant around him.

But Wang Fei still shook his head: "As for the matter of assigning me an assistant, I will talk about it later. I still have a non-compete agreement on me, and I can't participate in any projects with too much investment in the short term. I don't need an assistant for the time being."

"It's about recruiting." Wang Fei rubbed his forehead with a headache: "Pei Shu, about recruiting, I won't participate in the interview later."

"Ok?"

Pei Shu was stunned for a moment, his studio was recruiting, and Wang Fei, as an absolute high-level employee, chose not to participate in the interview?

"Old Wang, isn't this your style?"

Wang Fei shook his head angrily: "Recently, I feel that my way of looking at people is more or less problematic. You and Lin Cheng have made me miss it."

Pei Shu: "..."

Pei Shu didn't expect this to be the reason, but after thinking about it, it was understandable.

Wang Fei is a very conceited person. He has always been very confident in the control of the project and his vision of seeing people, but he and Lin Cheng were both recruited by Wang Fei to Pole Star. The excuse of amnesia is there, but Lin Cheng was recruited by Wang Fei under extremely cautious circumstances, but he turned out to be such a guy.

This inevitably made Wang Fei start to wonder if he had a problem with his eyesight.

Of course, there is another reason why Wang Fei voluntarily gave up his recruitment power. Some of the heads of studios attach great importance to the studio's recruitment power. people'.

Wang Fei didn't have such a need, so he took the lead in giving up this power, also out of consideration for the overall atmosphere of the studio.

He is optimistic about Bulo Studio, and he doesn't want to have unnecessary conflicts with Pei Shu, the actual owner of the studio, at the beginning of Bulo Studio's imminent take-off.

Pei Shu glanced at Wang Fei, and more or less guessed that apart from his self-doubt, there were some other reasons why Wang Fei did this.

This is an important reason why many small companies split within themselves and finally fell down.

He certainly wouldn't allow such hints or suspicions to arise in his studio.

Pei Shu looked at Wang Fei with a smile: "Old Wang, this is not like you. If you really have a bad eye, you can still choose to join our studio? You left "Super God" and became "One Year Immortal" "The founding team members?"

"Well, speaking of it, today's single-day turnover of "Yi Nian Xian Mo" has surpassed "Super God"?"

"If someone dares to say that you have bad eyesight, Lao Wang, is the project in the hands of the speaker surpassing "Super God"? Or stepping on "One Thought Immortal Demon"?"

"No matter what others say, anyway, I believe in your vision."

With that said, Pei Shu gave Wang Fei a big smile.

Listening to the relaxed meaning in Pei Shu's voice, Wang Fei knew that Pei Shu really didn't mean to force himself at all when he said these words. There was a bit of laziness in his words.

After a few months, the trust between Wang Fei and Pei Shu, who had been working in the Bulo studio for a long time, grew a little more at this moment.

***

After appeasing Wang Fei, Pei Shu thought for a while, and threw a plan that he had already drafted in his hand into the chat group of the Bulo studio.

Jiang Ziye and Qiu Boyu originally thought this was a new task, but as soon as they opened the document, they were surprised by the title of the document——[Drafting Rules for Application for Project Approval of No Loser Studio].

Project establishment rules!

The so-called project approval literally translates to 'creating a project'. In game companies, there will be their own rules and evaluations for project approval, just like the monthly creative evaluation of Jixing Studio in the universe, which is also the basic screening work for screening potential projects.

In general game companies, if you want to create a new game project, you often need a lot of preparation work, and at the same time go through round after round of review team review, because the main purpose of a game company opening a new project is to make a project that can Profitable projects, so there are countless excellent ideas, perhaps in the initial project review, they will fail to pass the project review due to reasons such as 'insufficient commerciality', 'high cost expectations', 'poor benefit evaluation' and other reasons.

It can be said that for every game company, "project establishment" is a very rigorous and prudent decision.

Not to lose to the studio, the project of "One Thought Immortal Demon" has just been tested, and Pei Shu has already drafted the studio's project approval rules!

Pei Shu: [^^ This document has been prepared for a while, but I was not sure what the results of "Yi Nian Immortal Demon" would be before, so I haven't released the project approval rules. Now the results of "Yi Nian Immortal Demon" seem to have passed That's right, it's time for this document to be released! 】

Jiang Ziye:! !

Qiu Boyu:! ! !

Even Wang Fei was taken aback for a moment—new project? The current public beta of "Yi Nian Xian Mo" has just started, and the project has just achieved such a brilliant result. If it is another company, the project team and the main creators think at this time whether the project can continue to maintain the pre-beta test in the next time. For the two-day results, the worry is still the project's retention on the next day, retention on the third day, retention on the seventh day, and long-term retention and maintenance of players after the forced promotion period.

In the end, Pei Shu didn't worry about this at all, and didn't indulge in his previous credits, but directly opened the project approval rules in the studio?

This courage and determination...

Wang Fei felt that even he himself could not make such a decisive decision as Pei Shu.

Both Qiu Boyu and Jiang Ziye have opened the draft application rules at this moment - this draft rules is really a rough version that couldn't be more sloppy, but it can be seen from it that Pei Shu is tolerant of opposing items.

Qiu Boyu originally thought that the studio's application for project approval would have nothing to do with him, but after he opened the document, he saw one of the rules - [Project applicant position: unlimited].

After this rule came into view, Qiu Boyu's head suddenly thumped, and something exploded faintly.

There is no limit to the position, that is to say, even if he is not a planner, even a programmer like him... can also apply for project approval in the Bulo studio and do the project he wants to do? !

After this idea popped up, it was firmly fixed in Qiu Boyu's mind.

May I?

Is it really possible?

Qiu Boyu thought of the game he had described over and over again in his mind, remembered his joy when he gave up his position in the "Super God" project to join the "Wasteland" project, and also thought of being denied by Lin Cheng over and over again, and then he could only go deep into it. Many thoughts hidden in my heart.

in case……

If he can make a game of his own, instead of watching "Wasteland" from the ideal game in his dreams, like "Wasteland", it eventually becomes a forced Krypton game with a plummeting reputation.

After this idea appeared, it took root deeply in Qiu Boyu's heart.

Finally, he couldn't hold back, and asked in the group: [...Brother Pei, I'm a programmer, can I also apply for project approval? 】

Pei Shu quickly replied to him: [^^ Of course, as long as you have a good enough idea, it meets the project application rules. 】

This project application rule is actually very simple. It only stipulates that the applicant must write a project application PPT, and then this application PPT must pass the vote of all the start-up staff of the studio, and the majority of votes shall prevail.

After receiving this affirmative answer, Qiu Boyu suppressed the excitement in his heart, and replied: [Okay! 】

***

While not losing the studio is already moving towards the establishment of a new project, Lin Cheng is frowning at his achievement task.

"Wasteland", which initially occupied the first place in the system's popularity judgment, has now narrowed the gap with "Yi Nian Xianmo"—and "Wasteland" can barely occupy the first place under the premise that the recharge amount is hugely behind. One, relying on the initial hot marketing of "Wasteland" and the promotion that has not stopped yet, and the other is... the infamy of "Wasteland" by players on the Internet.

The author has something to say:

_(:з」∠)_

Lin Cheng: Can you be number one even if you are scolded?
