Shi Ran was not the only one who joined the company today. She was talking to several artists when another girl walked into the big room of the studio carrying a pile of office supplies.
This girl looks to be about twenty-five or six years old. She wears light makeup to make her features extremely delicate. She has long black hair tied into a fluffy bun on top of her head. She wears a short white down jacket and a pair of loose jeans.
A pair of thick-soled dad shoes is fashionable and decent.
"Is it Zhu Zhizhi?" Miao Manman's voice was still very soft, but there was a bit of excitement in her tone, "Her name is nice, I remembered it after Uncle Yang said it once."
Zhu Zhizhi and Miao Manman, it was quite interesting to get together, so Shi Ran and a few others turned to look over.
Zhu Zhizhi was in the same state as when Shi Ran arrived just now, a little nervous and confused. He nodded to the people gathered in the office area and asked: "Hello everyone, I'm joining today, I'm going to see Uncle Yang first, right?
?”
Lin Feng pointed to the door of Yang Cheng's room, "Go, Pikachu."
Zhu Zhizhi glanced at Lin Feng gracefully and smiled, "Pika Pika~"
Then he walked into Yang Cheng's room.
"Pfft hahaha..." Several artists were overjoyed.
Jiang Lan rolled her eyes, "I saw a wedding photo in his little cardboard box."
Lin Feng was speechless, "It is natural for a man to marry and a woman to marry. Don't make your old habit embarrass others."
"I'm not an antisocial pervert." Jiang Lan glared at Lin Feng again, "Anyway, people who have a partner have a lot of things to do. I have no problem with it delaying your work. If it delays my work, let her try.
"
Lin Feng sighed helplessly, and Shi Ran silently returned to his seat and cleared the table.
Yang Cheng still asked Miao Manman to take Zhu Zhizhi to his seat and get to know his colleagues.
Miao Manman seemed to have a formula for her behavior. She greeted Zhu Zhizhi shyly, confirmed the three-year age difference, called Zhu Zhizhi "sister", and invited her to sit near her.
Their seats are in a small corner on the outer wall of the circular office area. There is a handicraft cabinet and a lazy sofa next to it to create a soft partition between the other seats.
Zhu Zhizhi put the photo frame on the table and whispered in a low voice: "My husband sent me to work this morning. There was a lot of traffic in Central. I don't know if he has arrived at the company now."
Shi Ran sat on the right side of Zhu Zhizhi and couldn't help but answer, "Your husband is so kind to you."
"Brother-in-law must love Sister Zhizhi very much!" Miao Manman blinked at Zhu Zhizhi through Shi Ran, "I'm so envious!"
Zhu Zhizhi pursed her lips and smiled at them, "If you are envious, then quickly find someone you like and get married~"
So the topic became Zhu Zhizhi's show of affection, Miao Manman's starry eyes, and Shi Ran's passive support. The conversation actually lasted for more than half an hour.
At 10:30 in the morning, Zheng Yongchun appeared in the studio and asked two people who had just joined the company to follow him to attend new employee training.
The third floor of Getian Technology is the human resources and administrative floor. There are many conference rooms. Zheng Yongchun brought Shi Ran and Zhu Zhizhi into one of them, turned on the computer and projected a PPT on the screen.
The company's organizational structure and rules and regulations are nothing special. In Zhu Zhizhi's words, R&D companies are all similar. They focus on not being late in the morning and have to work hard overtime in the evening.
Being able to rent an entire ten-story office building next to Huangxing Road is all thanks to the Japanese-style card mobile game "Monster Chronicles" launched by Getian Technology ten years ago.
At that time, the competition in the mobile game market was not as fierce as it is now. In addition, one of the three founders of Getian Technology was a very creative game planner. Together with the other two founders, who were from technology and art backgrounds respectively, they aimed at the mobile game market.
, created a magnificent war scene with many units fighting on the same screen, and at the same time established three barriers in terms of creativity, picture effects and technical difficulty.
Although the industry was developing rapidly and the so-called barriers were quickly broken by its peers, "Monster Chronicles" still took the advantage of seizing the opportunity and dominated the mobile game market in the following two years. The global monthly revenue reached a record breaking 18 consecutive months.
An impressive achievement of 100 million.
Shi Ran checked this history on the Internet two days ago and knew that such a high turnover was divided into two layers, channel and issuance, and the amount that eventually entered Getian's account was also quite considerable.
She was concerned about the rise of Getian's "Monster Chronicles" and why there was no follow-up product to continue its success. Instead, after that, Getian Technology seemed to have entered a strange circle. New games were launched almost every year, but
And every time it doesn’t make too big a splash.
From this point of view, wouldn’t it mean that all of Getian’s self-research projects after “Monster Chronicles” were just resting on their laurels? What’s more, Getian later added a new game publishing department and compiled more operations and publishing departments than the number of R&D personnel.
Personnel. According to Zheng Yongchun, Getian Technology has also established several distribution branches overseas.
Even if "Monster Chronicles" and other mediocre subsequent games from Gedian are still operating online, their revenue would probably be difficult to support given Gedian Technology's current expansion.
Zheng Yongchun did not explain much about the confusion hidden in Shi Ran's heart.
He didn't take the initiative to say it, most likely because these matters are relatively sensitive, and no company will discuss its own failures in depth during new employee training.
Of course Shi Ran didn't know which pot was not opened, so he went to ask more questions about it.
At lunch time, Miao Manman came over and asked Shi Ran and Zhu Zhizhi to go to the company canteen on the second underground floor to have a meal. The variety of dishes was not rich and the taste was average, but the canteen was not without its advantages - you can use the company's canteen to eat here.
You don’t have to pay for the meal card issued.
Of course, the canteen also has stalls offering delicious high-end dishes, the kind that require payment.
Miao Manman bought half a roast duck at her own expense as a snack to welcome the two sisters to join the studio. Zhu Zhizhi consciously went to the vending machine and bought three cans of Coke. When she returned to the company after the meal, the three cups of milk tea ordered by Shi Ran were also delivered to her.
.
Although the amount of money each pockets is not equal, this kind of courtesy exchange has shown that the three people know how to grasp the sense of proportion in interpersonal relationships in the workplace.
The training in the afternoon happened to be related to the company's incubation projects and studio projects. Shi Ran recorded the timeline closely related to her work in her notebook.
For the studio, it takes two months to prepare for the project. Yang Cheng Studio has already passed this stage. Demo is only given for three months at most. Yang Cheng Studio has already consumed two months at this stage. At the end of February and the beginning of March,
This is the time point when they submit the demo for review.
When it comes to the Alpha and Beta development cycles later, Zheng Yongchun seems to not remember it very clearly. He has been stuck on the PPT several times, stumbling and stumbling, and it sounds very complicated.
Shi Ran summarized it. In the next month, he will make a demo and participate in one review. The Alpha will last for nine months, two small reviews, and one major review after completion. The Beta will last nine months, two small reviews, and after completion, it will be launched online to test the success or failure of the game.
.
If everything goes well, Yangcheng Studio's "Monster Manual" game will need to be developed for at least another nineteen months.
