Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 252
A lightweight eDonkey parked steadily at the gate of Tianxing Building.

Wearing sunglasses and wearing a shirt and shorts, Luo Bai took off his helmet, raised his head and looked at the strange yet familiar building in front of him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.

"That one over there, parking is not allowed at the door."

The security guard stepped out of the sentry box and signaled Luo Bai to drive the car to another place.

Luo Bai gestured "ok" to the big security guard, then took out his mobile phone and called Tang Yunpeng.

"Hey, Old Tang, it's me, I'm already downstairs, please pick me up."

Not for a while, Tang Yunpeng led a large group of people and ran out from the main entrance.

Just after we had a face-to-face meeting, Old Tang himself hadn't said anything. A middle-aged man with thinning hair came up behind him with a smile on his face.

"Boss Luo! I have been admiring you for a long time!"

This person... who is it?
Although Luo Bai was puzzled, he didn't say anything, just smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake the man in front of him:
"Hello."

It's just that his eyes turned towards Old Tang.

Old Tang hurried up and introduced:

"Mr. Luo, this is Zhang Chenghua, the new general manager of Tianxing."

Although I don't like interpersonal communication very much, I have been in the circle for so many years.

In terms of business, for a normal first meeting, Mr. Zhang should wait for Lao Tang to introduce each other, and then the two sides will shake hands.

And this one walked up directly, holding hands and saying hello, good friends, right...

In fact, there is nothing wrong with others being enthusiastic, but this Saturday, someone in Luo did not enjoy his wonderful vacation, but came to Tianxing specially, not to "homecoming" to pretend to be slapped in the face.

The development progress of "Cyber·Liao Zhai" is coming to an end, Lao Tang specially invited Luo Bai to conduct an internal test this time.

This is not a business meeting, but a personal friendship between Lao Tang and Luo Bai.

No, he came riding a small electric donkey, and he was dressed more casually.

Time is precious, not to mention that Luo Bai is also very interested in "Cyber: Liaozhai", and he feels a little uncomfortable being disturbed by such an obvious outsider.

But if you are unhappy, you should not lose the politeness you should have.

"Mr. Zhang, hello, I'm Luo Bai."

With a smile on Luo Bai's face, before the unknown Mr. Zhang in front of him could say something, he said simply,
"It's not appropriate for us, a large group of people, to block the door with Wuyang Wuyang. If we have anything to say, let's go in and talk."

At that time, apart from Old Tang and Mr. Zhang, more people had already gathered at the gate.

Those behind Old Tang should also be game developers. They are thinner, with thick glasses, and their overall image is not so business-like.

Looking at Luo Bai with reverence, curiosity, and excitement in his eyes.

"This is Mr. Luo? It's so friendly to the people!"

"Ride a small electric donkey and come, hahaha."

"By the way, this is the first time I've come here since I left Tianxing that year, tsk tsk tsk."

"You dare to mention this? Are you afraid of being fired? Hahaha!"

Someone picked up a mobile phone to take a picture, and someone sent a message to a friend.

On the building at this time, many employees on the lower floors opened the curtains to look at the little head here. Although they couldn't see clearly, they could still see the most eye-catching person among the crowd at a glance.

Others simply go downstairs and see for themselves.

If this is still here to exchange pleasantries, the road will definitely be blocked.

At this time, Mr. Zhang was "waking up like a dream", and made an exaggerated "oh" expression.

He hurriedly asked the security guards to find a place to park Luo Bai's little electric donkey.

On the other hand, he took the initiative to lead Luo Bai to the Tianxing Building.

Just looking at this posture, Luo Bai's original good mood immediately disappeared.

He didn't even need to think about it. He probably didn't have much time to participate in the "Cyber·Liao Zhai" test today.

Sure enough, as soon as you entered the door, there was a big banner saying "Welcome Mr. Chuxin Luo to come to Chuxin for an exchange and discussion", and a bunch of coolly dressed little beauties stood in a row, showing perfect smiles towards the main entrance.

Then there are a bunch of reporters here holding flashlights and filming this pass.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the news about Luo Bai's return to Tianxing will spread all over the streets.

It's not so stupid, others treat each other with courtesy, you can't let others not bother you just because you are upset, and you can't just walk away.

Luo Bai could only give Old Tang a subtle look.

Tang Yunpeng naturally also saw Luo Bai's gaze, he could only smile wryly back, feeling very helpless in his heart.

"Mr. Luo, look, when you were working in Tianxing, this sign was standing here. This is..."

"You are the guiding light of this industry, the light of domestic games is well-deserved..."

"I believe that with the cooperation of our two companies, domestic games will surely flourish..."

Are you still steaming?

Hey!
It's rainbow fart again, reminiscing about the past, and putting gold on your own face.

To be honest, Luo felt a little sick from being greasy. If there was such a person in his company, he would have to open it directly.

Oh, I can't take it anymore!Hit the earth with one punch!

My precious vacation time cannot be wasted on this.

He quietly lowered his voice:
"Mr. Zhang, I feel a little uncomfortable. Where is the toilet?"

To be honest, it is already very impolite to urinate on this occasion. These business people who drink all day are not masters at holding back urine.

But compared to running away directly, at least the face is still passable.

Zhang Chenghua immediately said seriously:
"President Luo, I will take you there."

Luo Bai shook his head and smiled, pointing to Tang Yunpeng, who was completely ignored and could only be the bag-carrying boy:

"Don't bother Mr. Zhang, let Old Tang lead me there."

Zhang Chenghua immediately understood that Luo Bai wanted to distract him from having a private chat with Tang Yunpeng, cursed inwardly, but could only nod his head.

I can only give Tang Yunpeng a look, hoping that he will not do bad things.

After finally getting rid of this guy, he dragged Old Tang to the toilet. Luo Bai looked angrily at the old Tang who put him in prison:

"Explain, Mr. Tang."

Old Tang lit a cigarette, spread his hands, and said apologetically:
"Boss Luo, I can't help it!"

Then, he began to explain.

After all, "Cyber ​​Liaozhai" is a project worth tens of millions. For a big company like Tianxing, although it doesn't even bat an eye when it invests hundreds of millions of dollars in the mobile game and online game market, such a large investment in the stand-alone field is still the first. once.

Ma Bin was able to let Tang Yunpeng let go to do it, and he was under a lot of pressure.

But correspondingly, the production team of "Cyber: Liaozhai" is also subject to many constraints.

Tang Yunpeng and his group of game developers are actually not responsible for cost control and personnel management, but are directly assigned by the board of directors.

But this kind of thing, Old Tang can bear it.

Being able to use his own hands to create a stand-alone game with a lot of Yan Kingdom elements is one of Lao Tang's ideals.

Although the management regulations are disgusting, but he took the lead, and the people below were more or less encouraged.

Luo Bai and Old Tang made an appointment this time to come to the company for an internal test. Although it was a personal relationship, this kind of thing can't be hidden from anyone.

You can't hide it either.

"Cyber·Liaozhai" is essentially Tianxing's property, although anyone with a discerning eye can see it, as Luo Bai, he doesn't like this game at all.

However, according to the confidentiality regulations, the act of allowing outsiders to watch a tens of millions of projects, according to the corresponding management regulations, still needs to be approved by the upper levels.

As soon as Lao Tang confirmed his intention with Luo Bai, the news was known by his superiors.

Although he clearly objected, don't make such a big show, Luo Bai himself doesn't like this tone.

But he couldn't stand it. He actually doesn't have any real power in the company, he just can get a certain decision-making ability through Ma Bin in his professional field.

Things have already happened, so he can't just tell Luo Bai "Don't come", can he?

Old Tang is not easy to do.

"So you just call and don't notify me? Even if I know, I can just let you sit on the fire if I don't come?"

Luo Bai was obviously a little angry.

At least Old Tang should give him a notice.

Old Tang's face was swollen and red, and his head was almost stuffed into the toilet. He did this very dishonestly.

Speaking of this, it doesn't make much sense to hold on.

What's more, some things were indeed negligent by himself.

The time since the establishment of Chuxin is relatively short. In terms of organizational structure, it is far less "bloated" than Tianxing.

Therefore, for many things, as long as Luo Bai nods, there is basically no problem of principle.

If he puts it in the original intention, he can bring anyone to the inside game at will, as long as he says something.

Otherwise, why is Luo Bai the most envied colleague of developers in the entire game industry?
You can develop games with your own money, own your own company, and play whatever you want.

Although the risk of doing so is too great, but they can make a lot of money with every game!
Can't compare, really can't compare.

"So what does Mr. Zhang want to do with such a big fanfare?"

Luo Bai was a little puzzled.

"I didn't think about it, I guess he just wanted to get to know you, make friends and so on.

And can pay. "

Tang Yunpeng specifically emphasized the aspect of reimbursement, and Luo Bai also nodded slightly.

Good guy.

Because these activities are usually pushed as soon as possible, Luo Bai himself is very difficult to make appointments.

Unless it is the kind of boss who really can't refuse, and there is really a need for others.

Doing this for a long time made him ignore how powerful a connection he was.

But speaking of billing...

"Will there be that boring drinking time later?"

Luo Bai narrowed his eyes, showing impatience visible to the naked eye.

Tang Yunpeng just laughed.

Luo Bai sighed:

"You call Mr. Ma, and after I go out later, I will cooperate if necessary.

There is no need for dinner at night. I am here today to participate in the test of "Cyber ​​Liaozhai", not to accompany the wine. "

Who dares to let you accompany the wine, isn't it just to let you take the lead and everyone curry favor with you.

Old Tang wanted to laugh, but he still called Ma Bin directly.

"Mr. Ma is like this, um, yes, yes, Mr. Luo is by my side.

OK, OK, I get it. "

It wasn't until Tang Yunpeng hung up the phone that Luo Bai's gaze had been on him.

"What's wrong? Mr. Luo?"

Tang Yunpeng was stared at with a guilty conscience, wondering if something had happened to his face.

Luo Bai shook his head:
"It's nothing, I was just wondering if Ma Bin, the old man, did this on purpose today."

Tang Yunpeng pretended not to hear.

On the one hand, they are "predecessors" in the industry who are both teachers and friends;

It doesn't seem appropriate to speak for anyone.

When the two of them came out of the toilet, Luo Bai also seemed to have forgotten his unhappiness of being suddenly attacked, and began to actively cooperate with Mr. Zhang in front of him in "remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness", "hand in hand", and "looking forward to the future".

To be honest, after accepting the setting of the sudden attack, Luo Bai found that it was quite enjoyable to wander among the stars.

Back then, I had to catch the subway every morning, and clocked in to go to work. It was embarrassing to watch the rigid Luluo work overtime until late at night.

The biggest feeling is that in the past, looking at the cramped working environment, I only felt depressed. I was very concerned about the eyes of people around me, and I cared about my evaluation in the workplace.

Every day, I am silent in the hard work of overtime, the confusion about the future, and the numbness to life.

But now, wherever he goes, he is greeted with reverent eyes. Standing at the door overlooking the workplace, his heart is open.

It feels really good to become a master after achieving fame. Sure enough, people have to compare themselves to have a sense of superiority. The ancients did not deceive me.

However, I still like the game more, and I like the comments of the players and the smiles on their faces.

After finishing the formalism in the afternoon, after Mr. Zhang answered a phone call, he looked at Luo Bai with resentment, but he could only speak on the spot:
"Mr. Luo, I believe that with your guidance, our "Cyber·Liao Zhai" project will definitely be another shining business card for domestic games to go global!"

Tang Yunpeng was just slandering while listening.

Some time ago, I heard this guy blatantly declare that a single player is just a few games, and it is better to attract a hair of gold from a mobile game.

"Hey, Boss Zhang beat me to the punch. How can I have such a great ability. I can only give some suggestions from the perspective of someone who has experienced it, so that people who come later can avoid some detours."

After parting ways with Mr. Zhang, Tang Yunpeng finally put an end to his stiff smile and became much more relaxed.

"If you are so tired, go to my place and set up a studio for you to do whatever you want."

With his pockets in his pocket, Luo Bai said half-jokingly as he looked at Old Tang who was clearly much older.

Such invitations are actually not once or twice.

Old Tang rubbed his temples, shook his head:

"Mr. Ma is kind to me. Although the environment here is a bit difficult, I can still do it."

Luo Bai didn't say much, just nodded:
"Come on."

He could more or less guess what Old Tang was thinking.

To serve Ma Bin?Maybe, but definitely not a major factor.

Old Tang is actually a very proud person, and also a very pure game developer.

Luo Bai can be regarded as his junior, but such a junior is far ahead of him, even though he has accepted this fact, he still has a bit of grudge in his heart.

As an older game developer, "Cyber: Liaozhai" has extraordinary significance for the old Tang.

He wants to prove something through this game, and this project may become a turning point in Lao Tang's career.

However, who can tell clearly about the future?
