my return 2002

Chapter 90
Originally, I just wanted to recruit two artists, but in the end, I came back directly to a game project team. After Shen Lang returned to the company, he had to re-plan the office area, squeezed out ten desks, and then called To the computer supplier, let them provide ten new computers and send them over.

When they heard that the company was going to develop games, the employees were very happy. There are very few people who do not like playing games in the Internet these days.

"Mr. Shen, is our company planning to develop stand-alone games or online games?" an employee asked curiously.

Before Shen Lang could answer, an employee said, "It must be an online game. Now that piracy is so serious, how can you make money with a single player? Just look at Legendary and Miracle MU, they are making crazy money."

"Online games are not interesting, they are too time-consuming, so it's better to play alone."

Soon everyone was arguing, but the "online game party" quickly gained the upper hand, which also reflected a phenomenon. In the early days of the Internet era, the social attributes of online games were stand-alone games, which could not be replaced by purely playing methods.

"Okay, stop arguing. At present, I will definitely be inclined to develop online games. After all, the company can only raise everyone's salary when it makes money." Shen Lang quelled everyone's argument with a joke, and everyone returned to their respective jobs.

A few days later, the three of Wang Tao came to Inspur Technology to apply for employment, and Shen Lang personally introduced the three of them to everyone.

Wang Tao's first feeling when he entered Inspur Technology was: the atmosphere is good, and the employees are neither as dead as some big companies, nor as lazy as some small workshops.

In fact, Wang Tao didn't sleep well last night. Looking back, he always felt a little too impatient. He agreed without even going to the company. Now it seems that the boss Shen Lang is still reliable, and Inspur Technology is better than he imagined. Maybe there will be a future in the future?

"Mr. Shen, you see that we don't have any projects on hand now. Shall we hold a meeting to study how to carry out the next work?" Wang Tao suggested that since he decided to continue working here, he would naturally let the boss see own value.

Shen Lang nodded, and brought the three of them to the meeting room.

Wang Tao cleared his throat and said to Shen Lang: "Mr. Shen, the two most popular games on the market are imported from South Korea, and they are both western-oriented magical themes. I was thinking that we also have many excellent stand-alone games in China, such as Xianjian , Xuanyuan Sword, and Swordsman's Love, it shows that there is still a market for such Jianghu-themed games, can we develop a martial arts or fairy-like online game?"

The other two also nodded in agreement, obviously they had discussed it before.

Shen Lang looked at Wang Tao encouragingly: "That's a good idea. Martial arts is the romance of adults. Our generation grew up watching martial arts novels and film and television dramas. We have a deep sense of identity with Jianghu friendship and martial arts secrets."

"That's right." Wang Tao slapped his thigh excitedly, feeling that Shen Lang's words spoke to his heart.

"And I led the team to produce the Three Kingdoms. I have development experience in this area. I can contact my old buddies later. If I can recruit them, the development cycle can be greatly shortened."

Shen Lang nodded when he heard the words: "You are the project team leader, you have the final say on the personnel, and the wages you are willing to come will be based on your standards."

But then Shen Lang changed the subject again: "The style of the game has been settled, what do you think about the specific story background?"

Wang Tao took a sip of his tea and said seriously: "Mr. Shen, I think so. Whether it is Legendary or Miracle MU, they are all pure monster spawning games. If we want to snatch users from them, we must do Differentiated competition, I am going to develop a martial arts game based on Mr. Jin Yong's Condor Heroes as the story prototype."

Shen Lang froze for a moment, what the hell?How did you become the Condor Heroes?Shouldn't it be Tianlongbabu?
Wang Tao saw that Shen Lang's expression was a little strange, and he thought that his idea was not approved by the boss, so he was a little restless for a while.

Shen Lang came back to his senses, thought for a while and said: "The idea is good, but I think it's better for us to build a world view by ourselves. After all, buying the copyright is also a fee. In the future, if we want to continue to cultivate this series, we need more money." Look at other people's faces."

IP is a big piece of fat, just look at Jinshan. How many games have been derived from a JX Love, to put it bluntly, if JX Love did not continue, Jinshan might have disappeared long ago.

Wang Tao was suddenly embarrassed: "But, Mr. Shen, let's make an original plot."

Shen Lang also understood that it would be a bit difficult for a group of coders to write novels, so he said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will hire someone to create the background of the story."

The three of Wang Tao were obviously relieved.

After the meeting, Wang Tao began to contact his former colleagues, while Shen Lang was thinking about how to create the story background of the game.

Soon Shen Lang gave up his idea of ​​creating, and the thousands of words in his mind would be a pile of shit when he put them on paper.

Gan!
It seems that professional things still need to be done by professional people.

2003 is the era when online literature is gradually sprouting. In this year, Xiao Qian will create the "Misty Journey", known as the originator of the novel of comprehension. Xiao Ding's Zhu Xian will also come out soon. Singularity will launch a VIP chapter, which will change the historical pattern of the entire online novel industry.

"Why not just grab a big shot and write a novel with the same name as the background of the game?"

As soon as this idea appeared in my mind, it skyrocketed irresistibly.

"Who should I ask to write?"

This is another question, and Shen Lang suddenly thought of a person—where is he now, that is, the big guy who wrote [Wukong Biography].

I vaguely remember that Jinhe later helped Penguin create the story background of [God of War], and what [God of War] brought to players when it was first launched can only be described as shocking.

Jin He Zai is also good at creating grand themes of stories. His "Kyushu" series can be called oriental fantasy epic works.

Moreover, Jinhe is already famous at this time, so it is easier to find, what Shen Lang lacks now is time.

Just doing what he said, Shen Lang got Jinhezai's mobile phone number from the publishing house after many twists and turns, and then explained his purpose of coming.

Although Jin He Zai didn't directly refuse at the beginning, his reaction was still relatively cold. Later, Shen Lang found out after meeting him that the other party thought he had met a liar.

After checking the business license of Inspur Technology, He Zai let down his guard now.

"It might be more troublesome if it's a novel. I have other things to do recently."

After Shen Lang heard the words, he knew that this matter was already half successful, so he said.

"The length doesn't need to be too long, it's about the same as Wukong's biography, but the copyright belongs to our company."

This time Jinhe agreed very readily, and he didn't think a novel with a game background could be popular.

"By the way, do you have any specific requirements for this novel?"

Shen Lang thought for a while: "I hope to put the background on the Ming Dynasty, around Qi Jiguang's fight against Japanese pirates, and the disputes between the court and the rivers and lakes, focusing on the feelings of family and country, and the bloody storm of martial arts schools. In the follow-up, we can focus on the whole The storyline continues to develop."

"Okay, no problem, submit the manuscript within a month, a thousand words and a thousand words, is that okay?"

To be honest, this price is really not cheap, but Shen Lang still readily agreed, just based on the reputation of He Zai, this cost will be saved in future publicity.

"Mr. Shen, do you have an idea for the name? Or should I play it freely?"

"Let's call it Sword Rain Jianghu."

"Good, good name."
