Chapter 161 Isn’t it wonderful to have both fame and fortune?
“You picked it up quickly enough. I’m playing Defend the Carrot. It didn’t disturb your game progress, right?”
Gu Sheng smiled.
“Uh…um!”
Shen Miaomiao paused for a moment, then nodded and grinned:
“It doesn’t matter, it will pause automatically.”
"That's good,"
Gu Sheng made a noncommittal expression, and then talked about his work situation:
“I just had a meal with someone from Comella and had a brief chat...”
Speaking, Gu Sheng reported the situation at the banquet just now to Xiao Nezha.
Shen Miaomiao nodded while listening.
She doesn’t know about gaming.
Besides, Lao Gu has always said what he said in this regard.
Hearing what he said, even the executives of Comella were stunned by the concept of this trial version project.
She just needs to be responsible for shouting 666.
What she paid attention to was the idea in the second half of Gu Sheng's report to learn from Comela's business model and "create a pan-game entertainment company with games as the main body and around them."
Isn’t this interesting?
You should know that her current system model has main projects and sub-projects.
The main project has to make a profit, while the sub-projects have to make a loss.
According to her original plan, she planned to make money from the main game and make losses from the sequel.
The success of "Titanfall" + "APEX" also confirmed the feasibility of her idea.
but!
The grand idea proposed by Lao Gu now undoubtedly provided her with a new way of thinking—
The system does not stipulate that the project must be a game!
Then why don’t I use games as the main project and extend sub-projects to other industries?
This way!
I have made every game project that Lao Gu cares about succeed!
As for the spin-off branch industry projects, Lao Gu will not be sad even if the word-of-mouth explodes and he suffers a loss, but it will encourage him to continue to create more powerful game works!
Achieve two birds with one stone!
At that time!
Lao Gu was able to climb to the throne of the king of games without any distractions, while I was carried by the system to advance rapidly in the major rich lists!
Lao Gu wants fame and I want wealth. Isn’t it wonderful that we two saints share the same court and gain both fame and wealth?
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao suddenly felt that her thoughts were broadened.
However, the current level of financial resources of Golden Wind is not enough to develop multiple industries. If it wants to extend its development outwards, it is impossible without a capital base of several billions.
Therefore, Shen Miaomiao put this plan away carefully for the time being.
This is a rare and perfect plan. Although it is not used yet, it is estimated that it will not be long before I can use it.
“Hmm—Yo Xi!”
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction and joked with a hint of Dasa:
“Very good, Gu Sang! You have gained a lot on your first day on the business trip! You have a bright future and work hard!”
“Arigado is a dog mixed with Emma and Shen Sang!”
Upon seeing this, Gu Sheng also cooperated with Xiao Nezha and followed Mori Gu’s example and bowed ninety degrees:
“Since I’m working so hard, can I go to Akihabara in two days and see the neon ladies at work?”
Shen Miaomiao:…
There was silence for three seconds!
Shen Miaomiao sat up from the sofa and looked at Gu Sheng in the camera, smiling a little horribly.
“Whether it’s broad or not…you’ll figure it out in just one breath.”
Shen Miao Miaopi replied with a smile.
Although his tone was calm, it sent shivers down Gu Sheng's spine!
Gulu swallowed nervously:
“Forget it, forget it, forget it, I don’t dare to try...”
“Hey, it’s like a ha. It doesn’t matter if it’s like a ha. At worst, he will be a good man again in eighteen years.”
“No, no, no, no! No! Gu is not a womanizer!”
Looking at Gu Sheng's trembling appearance but still speaking righteously, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter:
"I'm getting poorer every day. Well, it should be almost eleven o'clock over there. There will be a lot of things to do tomorrow, right?"
Gu Sheng also smiled and nodded:
"Well, we have to officially start the development work tomorrow. According to Moritani, this time Comella has promoted a team of thirty people from four studios that have experience in horror game production in the past. I have to first Let’s unite people’s hearts and make arrangements.”
“Oh, it’s indeed a big company. With just one move, we can have a team of thirty people, which is more than our entire company.”
Shen Miaomiao smiled and teased, and Shen Miaomiao's voice became gentle:
“Thank you for your hard work, General Gu.”
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Serve the boss."
Shen Miaomiao was amused and giggled: "Go to bed quickly, we have to fight on the battlefield tomorrow."
"Um…"
Gu Sheng nodded and opened his mouth.
This time, he finally did not swallow what he said next:
"good evening."
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao was stunned.
You know, even though the two have known each other for so long, and even lived under the same roof for so long.
But Lao Gu never said good night to her in person.
The deer bumps into each other.
For a moment, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but blush a little: "Night, good night."
——
After the video call was hung up, Shen Miaomiao stuck out her tongue, then she held the phone in her arms happily and threw herself on the sofa to enjoy herself:
“Hee hee hee hee…”
…
It’s dawn the next day!
8th floor of Comella Building, Game Division conference room!
Applause breaks out!
With Moritani’s introduction, Gu Sheng, wearing a wide suit that Xiao Nezha personally selected for him, walked to the head of the conference room and spoke in fluent English:
“Thank you Mr. Moritani for the introduction,”
“Hello everyone, I am the chief game director of Golden Wind from China, and the specially invited chief game director of this “Silent Hill PT” project, Gu Sheng,”
“You can call me by my real name, or you can call me Sam,”
“In the coming period, we will work together to create the top horror game in the history of gaming.”
Another burst of applause!
It can be seen that everyone in the project team is very excited.
‘The top horror game’, this sentence seems to be a bit bragging.
However, everyone who has seen the plan understands that this is by no means an empty talk by Gu Sheng.
The uniqueness of "Silent Hill PT" makes it possible to create miracles.
And this!
It’s just a trial version!
The atmosphere of the meeting was very lively.
After Gu Sheng briefly introduced himself, the leaders of each project team introduced themselves to Gu Sheng.
First of all, there is Sato Muneki, who is in charge of the planning department. He is thirty-three years old. Although he is not short-sighted, he often wears a pair of plain glasses. He is smooth, smart and capable.
Next is Okura Kazu from the main engineering department. He is twenty-eight years old. He is a bit dull and rigid. He must add honorifics to every sentence. The workstation is filled with beautiful girl figurines, which almost perfectly fits Gu Sheng's stereotype of Otaku. .
Finally, there is Yuki Kamikawa, who is in charge of the art department. He is twenty-five years old, of mixed Japanese and American descent, with blond hair and a princess cut. He looks a bit like Lisa in BlackPink and has a cheerful personality. It is said that he was an exchange student in China.
Three people come from three different studios. Although they have very different personalities, they are all good hands.
After understanding each other, the project is officially launched.
Even though everyone in the project team had already read through the plan, in order to facilitate smoother future work, Gu Sheng led everyone to go through the plan again and explained some details.
It would be better not to say this.
Talk about it in detail, the dozens of members of the project team were even more amazed, and Si Guoyi’s voice kept coming.
Even without pictures, the description alone is enough to make people’s hair stand on end and scream horror!
“…OK, the basic situation is like this, we will communicate while developing,”
After going through the planning project and development node process again, Gu Sheng put his hands on the table:
“Any more questions?”
Every member of the project team looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.
Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
Clap your hands!
bang!
“Start work!”
…
Project started.
Gu Sheng also immediately moved his workstation into the large office where the project team was located according to his past habits, occupying a cubicle to himself.
This shocked everyone in the project team!
You must know that in Neon, the workplace hierarchy is extremely strict!
Not only are they very particular about seniority and have a serious sense of hierarchy, but the daily relationship between superiors and subordinates is also quite rigid. The rate of workplace bullying has always been among the highest in the world.
Even to exaggerate, the meeting between superiors and subordinates in the neon workplace is no less than the meeting between ancient ministers and the emperor.
Three kneels and nine kowtows may be a bit excessive, but the necessary honorifics and ninety-degree bow are indispensable.
And in this high pressure mode!
As a high-ranking airborne director, Gu Sheng was able to "condescend" to come to the cubicle to "have fun with the people." This was simply unbelievable in the eyes of everyone in the project team.
The project team made a sensation.
As lunch time came on the first day, Gu Sheng informed everyone that he had booked a simple meal at the Intercontinental Hotel and invited everyone to eat together.
The whole of Comela was in a sensation!
Because the employees of the PT project team are all drawn from various studios.
So it’s only half a day!
Director Sam’s reputation as “friendly” has spread throughout the company!
Employees of the PT project team all marveled and praised this director from China in their own small company groups—
‘You won’t believe it when I say it! The director of our project team actually moved his workstation into a cubicle! Work with us! ’
‘Big news! Big news! Guess what we had for lunch? Dang! Director Sam prepared a working meal for us at his own expense! ’
'sky! This is simply the most charming gentleman I have ever seen! Not only is he extremely capable, but he is also extremely kind! ’
‘To be honest, friends, I don’t want to go back. The PT project team is really fascinating’
‘Do you dare to believe it? Our director actually took the initiative to ask us to avoid honorifics in daily communication, saying that this can effectively improve communication efficiency! ’
‘My God…I’m already starting to worry about my work after leaving the PT project team…’
‘He looks like a character straight out of a comic book! My anime dream has come true! ’
‘…’
Other employees who received the news were naturally filled with exclamations, doubts, envy, jealousy, and hatred!
For a time, the PT project team has simply become the most high-profile temporary studio in Comela.
At the same time, it is also the project team with the highest enthusiasm for work!
This can be seen from the state of Focus employees after get off work.
Those young people who walked out of the Comela Building after work with their heads slumped and their faces full of exhaustion, like zombies, were mostly employees of other departments or studios.
And those people who are high-spirited and high-spirited, discuss in small groups, and even invite us to go to the tavern to eat roasted birds and continue chatting about the project, are mostly people from the PT project team.
and!
From the daily chat content of these employees, it is easy to distinguish the PT group from other employees.
If you hear someone in the company blatantly talking about 'murder', 'dismemberment', 'throat cutting', 'giantism', 'reincarnation', 'freaks', etc., then don't be afraid, because most of them are employees of the PT project team .
The free and relaxed working atmosphere and the rising reputation of psychopathy are blowing through Comela like a spring breeze.
In the blink of an eye, a month of development time flew by.
On this day, Yuki came to Gu Sheng as usual to report on the progress of the project.
I have to say that it’s great to have a high budget. With the support of the convenient Phoenix engine, the work progress of their art team has improved by leaps and bounds.
Looking at Lisa, a female ghost with high frequency and strange twitching on the screen, both the cloth simulation and the model skin are accurate, and they look real, Gu Sheng nodded:
“…Okay, this effect is up to standard, but considering that there will be other sports actions later, this requires coordination between your action artist and Sato’s action planner.”
“OK, don’t worry about this,”
ˆYuki said:
“I have already said hello to Sato-senpai about this.”
Say it.
ˆ Yuki looked at the time:
“Want to have afternoon tea, director? I’m going to go down and buy a cup of white peach oolong, and I can help bring you another cup.”
"OK,"
Gu Sheng nodded:
“Then I also want white peach and oolong.”
"ah…"
Hearing this, Yuki muttered ambiguously:
“But generally speaking, girls only drink this kind of drink. Men like you usually drink green tea or pure oolong tea.”
』
Gu Sheng was thoughtful:
“Then please bring me a cup of white peach oolong, thank you.”
Gu Sheng has been hanging out in Neon for a month or so, and his Japanese level has improved. Now he can also speak some daily short sentences.
Here, he used a more feminine self-identification and humorously said that he could also drink White Peach Oolong.
As expected, Yuki couldn't help but burst into laughter as soon as he said this.
There is no doubt that Gu Sheng is a gentleman with great personality and charm.
He is witty, humorous, friendly and considerate, and his amazing creativity and talent have further enhanced his innate leadership ability.
It is indeed a pleasure to work with such people.
Thinking about it, Yuki responded and went down to buy afternoon tea.
However, Gu Sheng stopped her: "Yuki."
“Huh?” Yuki turned around.
He saw Gu Sheng hand over his wallet: "Thank you for your hard work."
“Ah this...no, no need.”
Yuki quickly waved his hand, indicating that it was just two cups of tea.
However, Gu Sheng couldn't help but threw his wallet to her: "Half sugar is fine."
Catching the wallet with a snap, Yuki shrugged helplessly, leaned over with a smile and said softly: "Hai~"
Walking out of the company door, turned left and entered the tea shop. Yuki came to the front desk: "Sorry, I would like two cups of white peach oolong tea, half sugar."
“Okay please wait a moment,”
Hearing this, the cashier clerk came to the ordering machine:
“A total of 832 circles.”
Although Neon also offers online payment, cash payment is still more common.
"Oh well."
Yuki responded and opened Gu Sheng's wallet.
Different from the politeness in China, in Neon, when the boss or elders clearly say that they have to pay the bill, the subordinates or juniors must do it, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful.
However!
Yuki opened his wallet and saw a photo of a couple stuck in the business card holder of the director's wallet.
The conscience of heaven and earth!
Yuki swears to God that this isn't her peeking into other people's privacy.
The wallet was given to her by the director, and the photo was displayed in the business card list. She couldn't avoid it even if she didn't want to look at it.
In the photo, Gu Sheng, wearing home clothes, is sitting on the sofa, holding hands with one hand and a mischievous smile on his face.
On his shoulder, leaning like a small animal, a young girl wrapped in a velvet rug, with pretty eyebrows and eyelashes like small fans, was taking a peaceful nap.
It was originally a very warm scene.
But!
When he saw the appearance of the girl next to Gu Sheng, Yuki couldn't help but let out an incredible exclamation!
“Wonderful…wonderful?!”
