Chapter 316 Give the world a little golden shock
Gu Sheng doesn’t care how Miguo Yunwei adjusts and how to restore the stock price.
Even, he didn't care whether Yunwei would become angry because of his and Xiao Nezha's previous arrogant attitude and use his destructive tricks again.
The only thing he cares about right now is—
【Melancholy Blues】Can you make "Two People Go Together" well?
Yes.
For his old club in his previous life and his new subordinates in this life, Gu Sheng decided to hand over this arduous task to Melancholy Blues Director Connor and others from the beginning.
The purpose of doing this is nothing more than two -
First of all, Melancholy Blues now urgently needs a brand new work to prove that it is just a waste under Cornick's hands, but in the golden wind, it can leap like a fish and fly like a bird in the sky, saving itself from being so bad that it can no longer be bad. reputation.
But the problem is that if we rush to hand over super IPs like "Assassin's Creed" and "The Division" to them now, the timing is not good.
As an action game, the "Assassin's Creed" series, if developed and released at this time, will undoubtedly be partially overshadowed by Sekiro, which was released not long ago.
As a multiplayer online shooting game, "The Division" will make players feel tired due to the repetition of large types.
As for "Rainbow Six", let alone that.
Now that R6 is released, Qing can just wait for it to die suddenly. He doesn’t want to release R6 immediately after OW and let his two studios compete in the competition.
Hence, Melancholic Blues has undoubtedly become the perfect candidate to produce the critically acclaimed hit "Two Men Go Away".
This is one of them.
Secondly, it is also a selfish intention of Gu Sheng—
You must know that he is not just doing the game to make money.
This work also carries a more serious surprise mission.
Since it is a surprise, it must be kept secret.
But now, although in theory, both the golden experience and the steel chain fingers are his 'direct descendants', and they follow his lead.
But don’t forget, whether it’s Jiang Shan in the gold experience group or Yuki in the steel chain finger group, it’s possible for them to become ‘inner ghosts’.
Today’s Golden Experience is extremely busy. There are 10,000 follow-up matters related to Overwatch waiting for them to deal with, and there is no time to settle down and make "Two Players".
As for the steel chain fingers...
It is said that they have time, but they actually have time.
They say they don’t have time, but they don’t have time.
It’s quite a riddle.
Because at this moment, even Gu Sheng had a hard time predicting when they would get busy.
Yes.
At present, Steel Chain Finger, under the leadership of Moritani, is in contact with a mysterious person in the neon field.
If the contact is successful, then they will immediately usher in the most important project in history, and it can even be said to be a big project that countless players are looking forward to!
And the upright reporter Miles, a clueless character throughout the horror universe of Golden Wind, will also embark on a journey again.
so!
“I’m going to boldly use [Melancholic Blues] in my new project to see how good they are.”
In the chairman's office, Gu Sheng said to Shen Miaomiao.
pretty! !
Shen Miaomiao could not wait to raise her hands and feet in approval!
I indeed saw them correctly!
Melancholic blues are really a lucky group of mine!
Not only does it have a bad reputation, but I don’t know if Lao Gu took the wrong medicine.
They actually wanted to hand over the "Two People Travel" project into their hands!
To know.
According to Lao Gu, the total investment in this game is even higher than that of "Sekiro"!
My old swan!
The total investment in Sekiro is 181 million, which is the highest investment among all their current games. It is a well-deserved 3S-level super masterpiece!
But now, the initial investment expectation for the trip has surpassed Sekiro and has become the highest investment project of Golden Wind, with the total cost estimated to be over 200 million dollars!
Shen Miaomiao almost laughed like crazy.
That’s crazy.
I don’t know what Lao Gu was thinking. He skipped the verification period and handed over a project with such a terrible investment to such a **** fighter studio.
Even, in a sense, the melancholic blues ten-piece are much better than the steel-fingered rebel seven.
Because when Steel Chain Fingers was first established, Gu Sheng even gave them a small project to practice on "Plants vs. Zombies".
“I have no opinion! I support! I agree! I believe it!”
Shen Miaomiao held back her wild laughter, the corners of her mouth almost reaching the back of her head.
I thought I could have a hammer opinion!
My opinion is that the investment is not big enough!
Although our company's current accounts are not as impressive as those of Comella and Yunwei, it is still enough to be regarded as a leader among medium-sized game companies.
Although the 18 billion knives cannot be taken out, the 5 to 6 billion knives can still be taken casually.
If you can put all this money into this one project, that would be a great project.
“But what is the specific content of this project...?”
Of course, Shen Miaomiao didn't care about the quality of the content. She was just curious about what kind of project could achieve a more terrifying money-burning effect than Sekiro.
As for this, it is not convenient for Gu Sheng to reveal too much:
"Similar to our previous game "Escape", it is also a forced two-player cooperative game."
Wow—! !
Shen Miaomiao chewed up the lollipop in her mouth with a bang!
The excitement was undisguised, and little stars lit up in his big eyes!
This, this, this...!
The joy comes after all the hardships, right? My time is finally coming, right? I have to make up for the losses that OW did not cause me, right?
Wu! lake!
Shen Miaomiao cheered in her heart!
God opens your eyes!
The form of "Two People" and "Escape" are similar, and can even be said to be exactly the same.
That is to say!
"Two People" can be established as a spin-off project of "Escape"!
When I learned that "Escape" was approved as a GDC project, I very consciously extended the rebate period by 90 days, and its rebate rate also jumped from 10 times to 100 times. !
This project...tsk tsk tsk...
Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath.
Members of the family, who knows? It doesn’t take much effort to get through the iron shoes and find nowhere.
Of course!
Besides the most important small amount of money, Shen Miaomiao was excited about another thing—
“Then can we play together again?!”
She and Lao Gu completed the previous "Escape" together.
And the resulting movie-like clip was saved.
She likes to play this kind of game.
In other words, she likes to play games with Lao Gu.
And this kind of game that forces two people to cooperate is naturally the dream game that best suits her preferences.
"certainly,"
Gu Sheng smiled:
“After all, I can’t play alone. How can I pass the level without you?”
“Che—just coax me—”
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao made a face at Gu Sheng:
“Last time I played Escape, you secretly started a new game with Lu Bian, don’t think I don’t know!”
"ah…"
Gu Sheng hesitated for a while:
“I did that because... I wanted to experience another person’s perspective.”
“Wow—”
Shen Miaomiao applauded:
“It’s an irrefutable reason.”
He took out a coconut-flavored lollipop from his drawer and tore open the candy wrapper:
“Here, reward your wit! Ah—”
Seeing this, Gu Sheng also stood up, opened his mouth to swallow the lollipop in Shen Miaomiao's hand: "Ugh-" "Ouch! You're scary!"
Shen Miaomiao giggled and slapped Gu Sheng:
“You almost swallowed my hand, you are so annoying, go, go, let’s go, I’m going to watch a TV series.”
After laughing and making trouble for a while, Shen Miaomiao kicked Gu Sheng out of the office.
Click.
As the office door closed, Shen Miaomiao raised her face and pursed her lips, muttering:
“Lao Gu, Lao Gu...what are you waiting for?”
After thinking for a while, Shen Miaomiao shook her head and then shrugged, looking a little helpless.
This ostrich doesn’t know how long it will bury its head in the sand.
The drunken hug that night almost broke my bones, and I refused to let go even when I fell asleep. Why is this mouth so tight?
How about I come when I make enough money?
This is an investment of 200 million U.S. dollars.
Including another 25% commission.
The sales of the game must reach an unprecedented 270 million yuan to recover the cost.
Assuming that a game costs 60 dollars, 270 million means that the game needs to sell a full 4.5 million points within the specified rebate time!
This is simply impossible.
After all, the battle for the title is so huge. Overwatch has launched pre-sales in the early stage, is supported by two somatosensory cabin platforms, and is jointly promoted by three game live broadcast platforms. The number of units sold within the specified period is only more than 3.1 million copies.
It can be said that the rebate time for "Two People Traveling" is stipulated within two weeks, there is no pre-sale, and it does not participate in publicity channels like the Golden Bull Challenge.
Then this project will definitely suffer losses, it’s a certainty.
You can think of this.
Shen Miaomiao was a little worried again.
Why-
But I have always been the one receiving love letters since I was a child.
How to express your love...
I have no experience either...
…
…“…You need to learn from experience if you don’t have experience.”
At the same time, [Melancholy Blues] is in the project department of the studio.
As the size of Golden Wind continues to grow, the project department where everyone worked at the beginning has now become the office location of the Golden Experience Studio.
The Steel Chain Fingers, as well as the newly added Melancholic Blues, were allocated to two other equally large office spaces.
After all, the entire floor of this huge CBD belongs to the Golden Wind, and it has just been filled up now.
Gu Sheng is currently sitting in the melancholic blues project department.
The ten people in the studio were surrounding him on both sides.
Today's meeting was not too formal. After all, they had already participated in the previous conference. Chairman Shen Miaomiao welcomed them on behalf of all employees of the company.
As soon as Shen Dong took action!
It’s naturally the same as before.
The solid shock shocked Connor and others.
Whether it is salary, project investment form, or employee benefits...
To put it bluntly, Rao, who has been in the gaming industry for more than ten years, took over Ubsoft, which has a history of 20 years and has rich working experience in the world's top companies like Yunwei. Connor and his team are also here. After listening to Dong Shen's introduction, he sighed that he was really a **** who had never seen the world.
As soon as Mr. Shen said something, they would say "I'll buy it!"
But the more so!
Just like all the previous employees.
The members of Melancholic Blues feel more and more embarrassed about their responsibilities.
after all…
Their reputation is really in shambles now and has hit rock bottom.
In fact, they wanted to take on this project.
A 3S-level super project worth 200 million U.S. dollars!
Inherit the legacy of "Escape", which once astonished everyone with its skills, shocked the world at GDC, and became a hit!
This is their best chance to reverse their reputation!
Connor really wants to take it on, and he also thinks that he has the ability to take it on in terms of somatosensory cabin game development!
After all, it was his decision that made Ubsoft firmly embark on the path of somatosensory cabins.
But the problem is!
This time!
Mr. Gu doesn’t seem to want to make a somatosensory cabin game. To be more precise—
He is not going to just make somatosensory cabin games!
Yes!
This work is a work that Gu Sheng has come up with to express his feelings to all the players in this industry that he loves.
So, Gu Sheng decided to make its adaptable platform as big as possible!
He wants both the somatosensory cabin and the PC version!
Furthermore, in fact, games like "Escape" and "Two Players" are indeed suitable for playing on the PC platform with a controller.
Because of its unique split-screen perspective and stunning dual-perspective narrative, they are both iconic features of this type of game!
The previous participation in GDC for "Escape" was limited by the format of the conference and the desire to further target the somatosensory cabin market.
With this consideration, Gu Shengcai abandoned the PC platform and allowed the game to be logged in alone in the somatosensory cabin.
But now.
Things are different.
He wants the immersive sense of substitution in the somatosensory cabin and the bizarre first-person perspective novel experience!
He wants the PC version’s refreshing split-screen overview and perspective switching that makes you cry out for being a thief!
This is how it works!
This undoubtedly posed a difficult problem for Connor and others.
after all-
The perspective of the somatosensory cabin is first-person.
According to General Manager's general description, on the PC platform, they have to achieve various lens performances such as "over-the-shoulder perspective", "follow-up perspective", and "over-the-head perspective" in the third person.
And!
The performance of these lenses on the PC must also match the first-person perspective in the somatosensory cabin!
“I know, it’s hard,”
To this, Gu Sheng nodded:
“Not only for you, but also for our company, which always likes to challenge and innovate, this is the first time that such a somatosensory cabin + PC dual platform login is available,”
“You have no experience, I have no experience, everyone has no experience, but...”
Speaking of this.
Gu Sheng changed the subject, spoke seriously and said in a deep voice:
“I need this game, it means a lot to me,”
“You also need this game to make a beautiful turnaround,”
“We have no other choice,”
"so,"
“Since the establishment of the project, I, Lu Bian, and Xu Dajiang, the troika who once founded the Golden Wind, will all be temporarily integrated into the Melancholy Blues project team,”
“Let’s work together to give the gaming community of this world a little golden shock—”
Said.
Gu Sheng stretched out his hand.
Hearing this, Connor was also filled with excitement and reached out his hand without hesitation.
Everyone folded their hands together.
Gu Sheng said in a deep voice:
) by
Everyone shouted in unison!
“Must win!!”

PS: The update will be postponed to a day later. I have to speedrun with my partner in the Special Forces game again to make a two-player trip. I haven’t played it for a long time and I forgot about it. This party is more important. You can also impress yourself. Click to say it and I will copy it (cross it out)
