Chapter 161 Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have both fame and fortune?
"You picked it up quickly enough. I'm playing Defender Carrot. It didn't disturb your game progress, right?"
Gu Sheng smiled.
"Uh...hmm!"
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..."
With that said, 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 senior executives of Comella were stunned by the concept of this trial version project.
She just needs to call 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 know, her current system model has main projects and sub-projects.
The main project will make a profit, and the sub-projects will make a loss.
According to her original plan, she planned to make money from the original 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 idea——
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?
Thus!
I have made every game project that Lao Gu cares about succeed!
As for the derived branch industry projects, Lao Gu will not be sad even if the word-of-mouth explodes and suffers a loss, but it will encourage him to continue to create more powerful game works!
Kill two birds with one stone!
By then!
Lao Gu can focus on climbing to the throne of the king of games, while I am 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 now.
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.
"Well - Yoxi!"
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction and joked with a bit of a disdain:
"Very good, Gu Sang! You gained a lot on your first day on the business trip! You have a bright future, work hard!"
"Arigado is a dog hybrid with Maschen Sang!"
Seeing this, Gu Sheng also cooperated with Little Nezha and followed Mori Gu's example and bowed at ninety degrees:
"Then since I work 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 was seen sitting up from the sofa, looking at Gu Sheng in the camera, smiling a little horribly.
"Whether it's broad or not... you seem to know it 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, I don't dare to try..."
"Hey, it's like a ha. It doesn't matter if it's like a ha. The worst is that you will be a good man again in eighteen years."
"No, no, no! No! Gu is not a womanizer!"
Seeing Gu Sheng's trembling appearance but still speaking righteously, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help laughing and laughed:
"I'm getting poorer every day. Okay, 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. A team of thirty people can be formed at any time, which is more than our entire company."
Shen Miaomiao's voice softened as she joked with a smile:
"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 back what he said:
"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.
very excited.
For a moment, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but blush a little: "Night, good night."
beep--
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:
"he he he he he……"
…
It’s dawn the next day!
Game Division Conference Room on the 8th floor of Comella Building!
applause!
Under Moritani's introduction, Gu Sheng, wearing a wide suit that Little 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 from China's Golden Wind, 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."
Wow——
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.
But 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.
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.
The first is Sato Muneki, who is in charge of the planning department. He is thirty-three years old. Although he is not short-sighted, he always 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 always adds honorifics to every sentence. The work station 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, Japanese and American, with blond hair and a princess cut. He looks a bit like Lisa from BlackPink and has a cheerful personality. It is said that he was an exchange student in China.
The 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.
Although 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.
And it would be better not to mention this.
In detail, the dozens of members of the project team were even more amazed, and Si Guoyi’s voice kept coming.
There is no doubt that this kind of "Gu-style psychological horror" design is a powerful shock to the entire horror game category today.
Especially in the setting of several "bumping ghosts" scenes, Gu Sheng's uniqueness is particularly shocking.
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. From now on, we will communicate while developing,"
After going through the planning project and development node process again, Gu Sheng put his hands on the table:
"Do you have any other questions?"
Everyone in the project team looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads.
Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
Clap your hands!
Snapped!
"start!"
…
Project starts.
Gu Sheng also immediately moved his workstation into the large office where the project team was located, according to his past habits, and occupied a cubicle to himself.
This shocked everyone in the project team!
You know, in Neon, the workplace hierarchy is extremely strict!
Not only are they extremely particular about seniority and have a serious sense of hierarchy, but the way they interact with superiors and subordinates in daily life is also quite rigid. The rate of workplace bullying has always been among the highest in the world.
It is even an exaggeration to say that meeting superiors and subordinates in the neon workplace is no less than meeting the emperor in ancient times.
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 was shocked.
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 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 “friendly” reputation spread throughout the company!
The employees of the PT project team, in their own small company groups, marveled and praised this director from China——
‘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!'
'My God! This is simply the most charismatic gentleman I have ever seen! Not only is he extremely capable, but he is also extremely kind to others!'
‘To be honest, friends, I don’t want to go back. The PT project team is really fascinating’
'Can you believe it? Our director actually asked us to avoid honorifics in daily communication, saying that this can effectively improve communication efficiency!'
'Oh my God...I'm already starting to worry about my job after leaving the PT project team...'
'He looks like a character straight out of a comic! My anime dream has come true!'
‘…’
The other employees who received the news were naturally filled with exclamations, doubts, envy, and jealousy!
For a time, the PT project team simply became 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 when they get off work.
Those young people who walked out of the Comela Building with their heads slumped and their faces full of exhaustion, like walking zombies, were mostly employees of other departments or studios.
Most of those people who are high-spirited, discuss in small groups, and even invite us to go to a tavern to eat roasted bird and talk about the project together are mostly people from the PT project team.
and!
From the content of these employees’ daily chats, it is easy to distinguish between the PT group and other employees.
If you hear someone in the company blatantly talking about 'murder', 'dismemberment', 'throat cutting', 'giantism', 'reincarnation', 'monstrosity', 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 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.
It has to be said that it is 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 were absolutely accurate, and they looked real, Gu Sheng nodded:
"...Okay, this effect is up to standard, but considering that there will be other sports actions in the future, this requires coordination between your action artist and Sato's action planner."
"OK, don't worry about this,"
Yuki said:
"I have already said hello to Sato-senpai about this."
Say it.
Yuki looked at the time:
"Would you like 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 a cup of something else."
"OK,"
Gu Sheng nodded:
"Then I also want White Peach Oolong."
"ah……"
Hearing this, Yuki muttered ambiguously:
"But generally speaking, only girls drink this kind of drink. Men like you usually drink green tea or pure oolong tea."
"Swish to death..."
Gu Sheng was thoughtful:
"Then please bring me a cup of white peach oolong, thank you."
Gu Sheng has been hanging out with Neon for a month, and his Japanese proficiency 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.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Yuki couldn't help but burst into laughter.
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.
Gu Sheng handed over his wallet: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Ah... no, it's not necessary."
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~"
After walking out of the company door and turning left to the tea shop, Yuki came to the front desk: "Sorry, I would like two cups of white peach oolong tea, half sugar."
"OK, just a second,"
Hearing this, the cashier clerk came to the ordering machine:
"A total of 832 yuan."
Although online payment is also available at Neon, 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 need 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 inserted in the business card compartment of the director's wallet.
Conscience of heaven and earth!
Yuki swears to God that this is not 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 column. 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.
And on his shoulder, there was a girl wrapped in a velvet rug like a small animal perching on her. She had pretty eyebrows and eyelashes like small fans, and she was taking a nap peacefully.
It was originally a very heartwarming scene.
But!
When he saw the appearance of the girl next to Gu Sheng, Yuki couldn't help but let out an incredible exclamation!
