Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

  Chapter 174 Fire depends on wind! Borrow the chicken to lay the egg! The enemy is at the Honnoji Temple!

   was kicked out.

   Although Shen Miaomiao was a little surprised by this result, she didn't express much annoyance.

   After all, this project is up to now, and Lao Gu is a mercenary. He went out to earn money and returned with 300,000 dollars.

  Golden Wind is definitely not a loss.

  The only thing that worries her is whether Lao Gu will be very sad.

  Because it can be seen from the state of Lao Gu before that he is very optimistic about this IP.

   Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the job excitedly, and rushed to Neon to personally participate in the leading work.

  Now, the project has been unilaterally canceled by Komera.

   This undoubtedly cut off all Gu's ideas about this IP.

  So, after Gu Sheng informed her to prepare, Silent Hill will be cancelled.

  Shen Miaomiao's first reaction was to ask Gu Sheng what he thought of this sudden situation.

  How can Gu Sheng see it!

  Fake Comera!

   Sure enough!

   Silent Hill PT will bring ominous ah!

  In the previous life, Hideo Kojima broke up with Konami executives during the production of this work and left the K agency.

   Now, he himself has gone the same way as Brother Dao. Although the process is slightly different, the result is still the same.

   Even, the situation he encountered was even more outrageous than Hideo Kojima!

  Because of Ke Meila's temporary change of mind!

  The IP of Silent Hill is almost completely over.

   After all, this master has repeatedly failed in the horror game genre and suffered a comprehensive loss.

  Comera can't do Silent Hill well.

  But the copyright happened to be held by Ke Meila again.

  This IP is useless.

   It seems that in this world, Silent Hill has no destiny to become a classic.

  Gu Sheng felt very sorry.

   But it's just a pity.

after all!

  At the beginning, he kept his eyes open and never mentioned the idea and design of the main Silent Hill to anyone in Comera!

so!

  For Comera, all he has left is a 30-minute trial version worth two million!

   On average, more than 60,000 yuan per minute!

   It can be called a humanoid self-propelled money printing machine!

  Of course, due to the great success of PT, it can be regarded as temporarily igniting the popularity of Silent Hill's IP, allowing the descendants of Komera to enjoy the cool.

   After coming and going, the two sides seem to be evened out.

  No one earns, no one loses.

but!

   Is it actually true?

  Don't forget!

first!

  Although Silent Hill PT brought fire to the long-lost IP in Komela's hands, it also made Gu Sheng a success!

  Relying on the pinnacle of psychological fear modeling in this trial version, Gu Sheng successfully won the titles of the savior of horror games, the father of psychological horror, etc.!

   Even directly called the "King of Horror Games" by many domestic and foreign media players!

   This kind of recognition is even more important than awards in many game circles!

  Because this is recognized by the market!

   Next!

  At the beginning, Yuki had a flash of inspiration and proposed the suggestion of "supplementing the identity of the protagonist"!

  By using Yuki's suggestion, Gu Sheng slightly changed the ending of Silent Hill PT, drawing a conclusion for the confusing identity of the protagonist in the previous life!

  A fearless reporter with the courage to seek out the truth - Miles Upsher - came into being!

   And Miles will be the key key for Gu Sheng to open up the horror game universe!

   This key has nothing to do with the Silent Hill IP!

   This is the super foreshadowing that Gu Sheng planted for himself and for the golden wind!

   As for the last—

   Hearing Gu Sheng chuckle, he said to Yuki on the phone:

   "So Yuki, you called today just to tell us that Comera will develop Silent Hill alone?"

   And at this time!

  Yuki was shocked beyond measure by Gu Sheng's planning and strategizing for the rainy day!

   What a thief this man!

  Although he is usually amiable and friendly, he is very affectionate to everyone when he is in neon, and he is full of confidence and sincerity.

   But in fact, this product has long been guarded against, and the sense of smell is extremely keen!

   Outrageous.

  Yuki was shocked.

  Director Gu is obviously only a person of the same age as her, but his cunning level is far beyond that of a person of this age, even a bit old-fashioned.

"Ah I…"

  Yuki felt as if he had provided false information, so he was confused:

   "I just... have nothing else to do."

   "Really gone?"

  Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows:

   "Think again? For example, after leaking the news to me... Where should you go to do things?"

   "Ah... ah! Yes, yes, yes!"

   After Gu Sheng reminded him, Yuki came to his senses and slapped his forehead:

   "There is one more thing, that is..."

  Yuki suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

  The current situation gave her the feeling that she was negotiating terms with Golden Wind, as if the purpose was impure.

   But in fact, if she really wants to negotiate terms, she doesn't have to rush to reveal the news.

  Yuki is still young after all, and has a thin skin.

  Unlike Sato, who just took over the conversation and said:

   "There is also the salary, how much can Director Gu give us?"

  As the saying goes, if a person is only smart, then he will probably not be very happy, because he has a keen sense and a lot of scruples.

   And if a person is just shameless, then he probably won't live a particularly comfortable life, because his inappropriate behavior will cause him to miss many good opportunities.

   And Soki Sato.

  A smart and shameless person.

   Is it invincible or not?

  At least, he can make himself comfortable and happy.

  The appearance of Sato's voice undoubtedly gave Gu Sheng an extra surprise!

"so…"

  Gu Sheng happily said:

   "Is there a third person listening to this call?"

   Sato knew that Director Gu was referring to Okura Kazu.

   But alas.

   Sato said with a little regret: "Okura's father has been in poor health, and he is the only son in the family, so..."

   "It's okay, it's okay, it's understandable, there will be opportunities in the future,"

  Gu Sheng was not too disappointed, and expressed his deep understanding:

   "Then now—let's invite our President Shen to personally discuss the salary issue with the two of you!"

   While talking, Gu Cheng looked at Shen Miaomiao, a sly light flashed in his eyes.

good!

   Once on the throne! The fire borrows the prestige of the wind and creates a reputation in one fell swoop!

   Two foreshadowing! Borrow the chicken to lay eggs to create a personal label key!

  Three mining cores! The Wagner mode is activated, and the enemy is at the Honnoji Temple!

   Lose? It is impossible to lose money!

   Not only is he not losing money, but Gu Sheng is almost making money!

   Say it!

  Seeing Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow at the little Nezha: Come on, it's your turn to do the work, and you are the one who decides to pay.

   And Shen Miaomiao gave a questioning look: How much do you think is appropriate?

  Gu Sheng made a four with his left hand and a three with his right hand.

  Men left and women right.

  The main strategy Sato is 400,000, and the main beauty Yuki is 300,000.

   This is what he learned about the salaries of the two when he was in Neon.

   As far as the salary in the game industry is concerned, the salary in Huaguo is about 10%-15% lower than that of Neon.

  So compared with domestic practitioners of the same level, the salaries of the two are higher.

   But not much higher.

   After all, Sato is only the chief planner in a studio under Comera, and Yuki has not been in the job for a long time.

  After the reminder, Gu Sheng also smiled slightly, picked up the paper cup and made a gesture of toasting a little plum, indicating that his work of poaching people has been completed, and I will watch your performance next.

   Shen Miaomiao, who received Lao Gu's signal, also made an OK gesture to show that she understood.

   opened the mouth and said: "Then simply double it first, Mr. Sato 800,000, Yuki 600,000."

   Poof—! !

  The water that Gu Sheng just drank!

   Almost choked myself to death!

   He looked at little Nezha with his eyes wide open, his eyes were full of confusion and shock!

How many? !

  How much did you pay them? !

   Eight hundred thousand and six hundred thousand? !

  My annual salary is only 500,000? Hey!

   At the same time, Sato on the other end of the phone also trembled!

   "Ah... this uh... Me?"

   Sato was numb, and even thought he heard it wrong!

  Originally he thought that as a manufacturer that was still developing, Golden Wind would definitely not be able to compare with an established manufacturer like Comela in terms of salary.

   And he is also ready for a salary cut.

  After all, what he mainly values ​​is the future development potential of the company under Gu Sheng.

result!

  The salary has not only not been reduced, but has doubled? !

   I can't figure it out! I can't figure it out!

   "This... this... I..."

   Sato didn't know what to say for a while.

  Yuki, who was on the opposite side, answered the phone with a smile: "Then we will find you in two days, my dear."

   "Well, okay," Shen Miaomiao giggled, "I will pick you up then."

   click.

  The phone hangs up.

  Yuki stretched out his hand and waved in front of the dull-faced Sato: "Senior Sato? What are you thinking?"

   "Huh? Ah!"

   Sato finally came to his senses, blinking his confused eyes:

   "I'm thinking... Is this Mr. Shen rejecting us? Reminding us in this tactful way?"

  Yuki chuckled:

   "Of course not, didn't she make it very clear on the phone?"

   "But it doesn't make sense?"

   Sato is puzzled!

   "And...and aren't you shocked?"

   "I, hi, I'm fine,"

   In response, Yuki just shrugged and smiled:

   "Because this really seems like something Miao Miao can do."

   Sato was puzzled: "You mean this is the way of the Golden Wind?"

   "No," Yuki shook his head: "I mean her father is one of the biggest chaebols in Huaguo."

   Sato: …

  …

"no?!"

at the same time!

  In the president's office!

  While wiping his mouth, Gu Sheng looked at Shen Miaomiao with suspicious eyes:

   "You just open your mouth and come here? One 800,000 and one 600,000? I only have 500,000!"

  Seeing Gu Cheng's appearance, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help laughing, and laughed aloud: "What? Didn't you poach him, are you jealous?"

   "It's not about being jealous,"

  Gu Sheng raised his hand, persuasively:

   "It's your salary, which is far beyond the current level of our company. I don't care, but what will everyone think?"

   Gu Sheng wants to say that such treatment is not conducive to the unity of the company.

  However, Shen Miaomiao shrugged her shoulders: "Whoever said that you have exceeded our company's level, they will surpass you. I am planning to give everyone an annual salary increase from tomorrow."

  Gu Sheng:?

   "Not for me?" Gu Sheng tilted his head questioningly.

  Shen Miaomiao spread her hands innocently and said, "You don't care."

   "OK! OK! OK!"

  Gu Sheng laughed out loud and made a gesture, stood up and was about to walk out the door:

"Hey, I just heard that Xun Teng's business seems to be in a bad mood recently. I think they should need me more. Based on my current worth, I dare not say too much. It shouldn't be a problem to go up to a hundred. Let's go." ! Surrender to the enemy!"

   "Hey hey hey! Don't! You're just kidding bro!"

  Seeing this, Shen Miaomiao quickly jumped up from her seat and grabbed Gu Sheng's arm:

   "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, if you have something to talk about, talk about it..."

"snort!"

  Gu Sheng waved his hand:

   "A real man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time!"

"1500000!"

   Seeing that Gu Sheng couldn't hold back, Shen Miaomiao directly opened her mouth and showed her ultimate move!

  Gu Sheng stopped in his footsteps, and coughed lightly: "What the public said, it makes people see the light of the cloud, suddenly enlightened, but...!"

  Shen Miaomiao suppressed her smile and interrupted:

   "Another VP position!"

   Hiss!

  Gu Cheng couldn't help but gasped, and immediately turned around, facing Shen Miaomiao and bowing his hands!

   "Gu Piaoling half his life, he only hates not meeting the Ming Lord! If you don't give up, I'm willing to stand on the saddle!"

  Shen Miaomiao giggled, the flowers and branches trembled!

good!

  Now, Wind of Gold is officially on the right track. With the APEX and PUBG two multiplayer online projects, as well as the sales of a number of independent games, the profit is stable and the family fortune is getting stronger.

  Shen Miaomiao felt that it was time to increase the wages of the comrades in the company.

   After all, a wage increase means an increase in costs.

   And the cost increase is absolutely beneficial to her in the long run!

  If she had 10 million to vote for when they were fledgling and spent 2 million to produce "Phobia", wouldn't that be a safe loss?

  If she had 500 million to vote for when they made their debut in Asia at a cost of 50 million to make "PUBG Mobile", wouldn't that be a safe loss?

  For another example, when they became the **** developer for the first time and produced "Titanfall" at a cost of 170 million, she had 1.7 billion to invest, so was it safe to lose?

   You must know that the growth rate and breadth of the market are limited.

  So in theory, as long as her investment is large enough, it is impossible for her profit to catch up with her loss.

   Give an example of an extreme point.

  Suppose I now spend 5 billion to invest in a game, priced at 500 yuan, Yiyou x2 exclusive, the system gives the longest basic rebate settlement time, a period of one month.

  You sell it.

  You are the king of heaven and Lao Tzu, it is impossible to pay back!

  Because the current global sales volume of Yiyou x2 is only a few million units!

   In order to return the cost, this game needs to sell at least 10 million copies!

so!

   Raising salary and increasing costs is definitely a road to loss!

  If you can't lose money!

   It means that the cost is not enough!

   Salary increase is imperative!

  Originally, Shen Miaomiao was still thinking of some reason to bring up this matter.

   And now!

   Coinciding with Ke Meila's treachery, Lao Gu took his salary from the bottom of his chest to instigate the rebellion of the two generals!

   It's a good time!

   This adjustment!

   One is to increase the project budget in the future, paving the way for losing money!

  The second is to buy people's hearts, so that the two "generals" who came all the way from Neon will give up their hearts!

   The third is to organize the company internally, enhance cohesion, and prepare for the sprint in order to enter the [billion club]!

   Kill three birds with one stone!

   Miao Miao joy! Gu Cheng earned blood! Yuki Sato rejoices! The wind of gold sprints together! Everyone is very satisfied! Peace of mind!

  Then here comes the question—

  Who is in a hurry?
