Chapter 261 Bao Xu: I'm shutting down, please don't disturb
Yangyang Games.
Everyone was immersed in the excitement of getting chicken blood.
Mr. Pei’s 2 million publicity fund is simply a shot in the arm!
After the launch of "The Powerful Enhanced Edition of Hot-Blooded War Song", the data was not good. Everyone saw it and was worried about it.
At the beginning, everyone was confused. Fortunately, Director Lin decided to develop a mobile game version and made "Hot Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition" into a game that can communicate data between mobile phones and computer micro-clients. Finally, we found a direction for everyone to strive for.
But even if the mobile game version is produced, will it be able to reverse the current situation? No one can guarantee it.
Judging from the current situation, the biggest problem in converting the game to a mobile version is not money, but time.
If it fails, it will only make the current situation worse.
However, Mr. Pei greatly praised this game and once again spent 2 million in promotional funds, which fully demonstrates Mr. Pei's trust in everyone!
Everyone was deeply moved, and they were even more determined to improve "The Power of the War Song".
Someone has already contacted these Hong Kong stars according to the list arranged by Mr. Pei.
Wang Xiaobin looked at the list and couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say that Mr. Pei is still very experienced in selecting people. This choice must have been carefully considered."
"Zhang Zuting and these people are all Hong Kong stars of the older generation. Their films have great influence among the middle-aged people, and they can have a very good publicity effect for our target players."
"Zhang Zuting has the highest net worth. Let him make a film to attract widespread attention, and then use the same money to hire four cheaper Hong Kong stars. Not only is it cost-effective, but it can also create a cluster effect and achieve the best publicity effect.
.”
"I have to say that Mr. Pei's move is really clever."
Ye Zhizhou on the side deeply agreed with this: "Yes, Mr. Pei is definitely a genius in terms of publicity. I am afraid he is at the top level in the entire domestic game market."
"I'm just a little ashamed and a pity. It would be better if our games were more powerful. In this situation, I really feel sorry for Mr. Pei's so much publicity funds."
Wang Xiaobin comforted: "It doesn't matter. Isn't the mobile game version in progress? After the mobile game version is launched, these advertisements will still be effective. The accumulated popularity will explode sooner or later."
Ye Zhizhou nodded sharply: "Well, that's right! We have to work harder and we must not disappoint Mr. Pei's expectations!"
…
…
September 11, Monday.
Bao Xu was filled with emotions as he set foot on the land of Jingzhou again.
Finally back!
During this month's paid vacation, Bao Xu flew to Europe and visited four or five cities, almost changing one city every week.
All in all, it’s hard to say enough!
For Bao Xu, he now wants to immediately delete and format all the exotic scenery in his mind. This month has been like a nightmare for him.
It's not about this tourist destination. In Bao Xu's opinion, as long as he leaves Jingzhou, no matter how beautiful the garden city is, it will make him feel like he's having a nightmare.
Fortunately, although Bao Xu became addicted to the Internet after going to college, he still managed to get into college in a serious manner. His English proficiency was not bad. With a translator, he finally managed to complete the mission of traveling abroad.
But no matter what, after this trip, Bao Xu still felt a deep despair.
Arriving in Jingzhou in the early morning, Bao Xu first went back to his rented house and slept until he got up at noon, then decided to go to Tengda in the afternoon.
During the trip, he bought some local snacks and commodities as souvenirs, which he had to distribute to everyone in the office.
Moreover, after being away for a month, I don't know how the development of "Return to the Shore" is currently going. Li Yada took over the main designer's job midway, and I don't know if she can complete the game well.
…
When we came to the company, everyone was busy.
Seeing Bao Xu coming back, everyone immediately expressed their warm welcome.
"Brother Bao is back!"
"Brother Bao, is Europe fun?"
"Looks like I'm a little tanned."
"My hair seems to have grown longer again?"
"In this season, it should be quite cold over there, right?"
Bao Xu greeted everyone one by one and distributed the souvenirs he had brought.
Li Yada was seriously revising the document. When she saw Bao Xu coming back, she stood up quickly: "Brother Bao! You came just in time. I have a question to ask!"
Bao Xu's face instantly turned pale: "I'm too tired! Let's talk about it another day!"
"Ah, okay." Li Yada nodded, but couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Why do you feel that Bao Xu has become a little tired after returning this time and is not as active as before?
Before Bao Xu, no matter who had any design questions or wanted to ask for advice, he would be very enthusiastic to answer them.
In addition, Bao Xu usually repeatedly plays the game under development. If he has any suggestions for modifications, he goes directly to the responsible designer.
The last time he went on a trip, he started playing the game the same day he came back and quickly got into work mode.
But today, Bao Xu doesn't seem to be very interested in work?
Soon, Bao Xu gave out all the souvenirs, including to Mr. Pei who was trying out the game in the office.
Then, he returned to his workstation, directly opened a foreign 3A game, put on his headphones, and turned on the self-isolation mode.
This was something he had already thought about during this difficult month.
The first thing you do when you return to the company is to keep a low profile!
As a semi-autistic child, every time Bao Xu used broken English to communicate with foreigners in Europe, he secretly hated himself: the tears he shed at this time were all the water in his head!
Looking back now, it can be said that I was selected as the second best employee. It was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
This serious consequence should have been anticipated!
Lu Mingliang is the chief designer and contributed the most in the process of making the game; but what about the person who contributed the second most?
It’s just that Bao Xu didn’t run away.
Because Bao Xu is the most hard-working member of the entire design team and has been responsible for game creativity since "Sea Fortress". Bao Xu often gives suggestions whether it is gameplay, details or balance.
His presence is so impressive, if you don’t vote for him, who will?
When he came back this time, Bao Xu thought about it carefully. If he followed this script, he would still have only two possibilities for selecting the best employee next time.
The first is like Lu Mingliang, who takes one million Dream Fund and leaves.
This was okay, but when he thought of leaving these colleagues and the design team, Bao Xu felt reluctant to leave.
The second option is to get another month of paid leave to travel.
This is the scariest thing!
Although he has won it twice in a row, there are still many places to go in the world, and Bao Xu doesn’t think there will be an end to this suffering at all.
So Bao Xuxin decided that I wanted to be a gangster!
Play games every day to minimize your sense of presence.
Although she was very worried about whether Li Yada was qualified for the job of chief planner, she could never give guidance in front of everyone. She could only answer questions privately and secretly.
We must not attract everyone’s attention again!
In fact, Bao Xu felt very uneasy and felt that he was a bit sorry for Mr. Pei by hanging around like this.
But in order to avoid this kind of misfortune in the next selection of outstanding employees, Bao Xu had to work hard to fool around, at least to deceive the eyes of most people.
After playing for half an hour, Bao Xu quit the game, secretly poked his head out from behind the workstation, and carefully observed his surroundings.
Mr. Pei is still in the office and has not come out.
Everyone else was also working hard and didn't pay attention here.
Bao Xu then carefully sent a message to Li Yada: "If you have any questions, please chat with me privately and don't make any announcement."
…
…
In the office, Pei Qian was eating the biscuits and chocolates brought back by Bao Xu and was leisurely browsing the island.
Today's suffering is over, and only the last two bosses are left to get through the six paths of reincarnation.
There are still more than three weeks left before the release of "Return to the Shore", which can be said to be very, very ample time.
So Pei Qian is not anxious at all.
On Elly Island’s website, a new video collection was pushed to the homepage.
"Brainwashing Xiang's Hot-blooded War Song Advertisement Collection"!
Originally there was only Zhang Zuting, but now it has become a family portrait: Zhang Zuting and his four good brothers.
Everyone wears the same awkward costumes, holds the same awkward props, and speaks the same awkward Hong Kong populace, and the entire painting style remains highly consistent.
Although no one else's name can make a good meme like "fried pig's trotters", this does not affect the enthusiasm of the netizens, as can be seen from the comments, comments and popularity of the video.
"Shocked, I actually watched an advertisement on Ellie Island!"
"Normally 15 seconds is too much for an advertisement, but I actually watched it for ten minutes..."
"Indeed, others skip the ads, but I search for them."
"It can only be said that this game company is indeed an advertising genius. Everyone only needs less than two minutes of video material, but they cut it into more than a dozen different versions!"
"The advertising slogan was so brainwashing that I laughed like crazy!"
"I don't dare to click to pause this video once it's full screen, for fear of entering the web page."
"I am a fried pig's trotters. If you are a brother, come and eat me...and my four brothers!"
After reading the latest advertisement, Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction.
Well, good friends must be neat and tidy!
Now Zhang Zuting, the originator of web games, is stable. As for the others, they are the four little kings of web games. Together, they can form the Senior Port Putian Group to debut.
Seeing the embarrassment of these four Zhang Zuting's friends filming a web game advertisement, I think that Zhang Zuting should be able to feel proud when they meet next time.
After all, everyone has made such embarrassing advertisements, but Zhang Zuting’s endorsement fee is the highest.
Zhang Zuting should feel that he has perfectly surpassed these four brothers in terms of worth.
After pulling Lao Zhang casually, Pei Qian could only feel one thing: great satisfaction!
I think Zhang Zuting would also be very pleased, right?
Pei Qian closed the website with satisfaction, and then habitually opened the backend of "Hot-Blooded War Song Power Enhanced Edition" to take a look and confirm that everything was fine.
Although this wave of advertising has triggered an increase in some data, from the current point of view, there is still a big gap from the warning line.
Pei Qian didn't know what Ye Zhizhou and Lin Wan were busy with all day, but judging from the current situation, they probably didn't expect a good comeback point.
Anyway, as long as the data does not improve, then everything is fine.
After making sure it was safe, Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
Although he has been a little restless recently, Pei Qian doesn't know what to do in the next period of time. He can only wait quietly for the new store of Moyu Internet Cafe to open, and for the release of "Back to the Shore".
After leaving the office, Pei Qian couldn't help but glance at Bao Xu.
After returning from abroad, Bao Xu obviously became a little darker and looked much healthier.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Pei Qian feels that his hairline has recovered a little, and the project of returning farmland to forest on his head seems to have achieved remarkable results.
"According to this trend, if we let him go out a few more times, he can become an artist with long hair? Well, it's quite interesting to think about it."
"Huh? He's not actually experiencing "Return to the Shore"."
Pei Qian keenly discovered the blind spot.
Bao Xu was actually playing a foreign 3A masterpiece, and he seemed to be playing very casually. He did not take screenshots every time he played for a period of time, or write down some details in a small book like before.
This shows that he is not studying other games, but just... simply playing.
If Bao Xu had followed Bao Xu's previous habits, he would have played "Back to the Shore" very actively, found a bunch of problems and then handed them over to others to correct.
But Bao Xu seemed to be a different person when he came back this time. When he put on the headphones, he felt like he couldn't hear what was going on outside the window.
All I have to do is write "I am autistic" directly on my face.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and understood immediately.
Bao Xu was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years!
He was worried that he would be selected as an outstanding employee next time, so he simply turned on the fishing mode to prevent everyone from paying attention to him, so that they would never vote for him next time.
In this case, you don’t have to suffer the pain of one month’s paid leave.
Pei Qian, who realized that Bao Xu was paddling frantically, was not only not angry, but also smiled happily.
Sure enough, my best employee selection was very effective!
Although there was a slight deviation from the expected process, it still perfectly achieved the results I wanted!
The first-place elimination system is indeed the core guiding principle that Tenda should always adhere to.
Very good, Bao Xu, if you continue like this, I will definitely give you a promotion and a salary increase in the future!
Even a motivated employee like Bao Xu can be transformed into a bastard by me, let alone others?
Pei Qian was in a good mood and left with peace of mind.
Bao Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Pei leaving in the elevator out of the corner of his eye.
There is no way, now for Bao Xu, everyone in the company has to be on guard!
It's not aimed at Mr. Pei. No matter who is passing by now, Bao Xu is like a formidable enemy and cuts the screen at the speed of light.
He looked around again to make sure no one was looking at him, then quickly switched programs, put the game into the background, and then opened the document to modify it.
This feeling was a bit strange, and Bao Xu couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart.
You have to be secretive to work normally in the company, it’s like hell!
