In the afternoon, Pei Qian went to the company first to see the development status of gog.
Ma Yang has already sent the beta client of ioi.
After all, Yuanmeng Venture Capital has shares in Zhidou Company and is a domestic game agent. It is natural to ask for a client.
Although it was an English version, Pei Qian relied on his level 4 English proficiency and Qiandu Translation to be able to roughly understand it.
Comparing ioi's version with gog's current version, Mr. Pei feels much more at ease.
The difference is still very obvious!
ioi has never had public testing before, and only occasionally sent out a few versions that are currently being improved. Although Pei Qian has seen it, he has no clear idea of what stage the game is at.
Because the lol in Pei Qian's memory is already very mature and complete. Looking at the ioi in its embryonic stage, it is naturally awkward and cannot be evaluated objectively.
However, after knowing the reactions of players during the test, Pei Qian was roughly sure.
There is no question about the quality of the game itself. At least for now, its competitiveness in the current field is self-evident.
On the other hand, gog is far behind in terms of completion.
Pei Qian didn't know whether this was because the ioi project was established earlier and the research and development progress was faster, or because Li Yada and his entire project team were slacking off?
Pei Qian hopes it is the latter.
It has to be said that as soon as the Tenda Spiritual Fit Test came out, not only the mentality of new employees has changed a lot, but even the work attitude of old employees has also been greatly improved!
For example, the design team of Tenda's game department, as die-hards who often work overtime, has significantly reduced the frequency of overtime work recently.
It seems that Li Yada and the others are strategically giving up on the first zero-overtime contest selection.
Between completing work tasks and receiving bonuses, they chose the former, which made Pei Qian feel a little regretful.
However, Li Yada and the others didn't seem to have broken the rules. They felt that there was no chance of the zero overtime competition anyway, so they worked even harder overtime.
Instead, we are working hard to reduce overtime hours and overtime share every week.
This made Mr. Pei feel very satisfied, and he felt a sense of joy that "the die-hards finally figured it out".
In short, it seems that gog is in good condition at the moment. If you have extra money in the future and don’t know where to spend it, throwing a few million at gog shouldn’t be a big problem.
After all, it seems that the gap between ioi and gog cannot be bridged by a few million at present.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt a little relieved. While reviewing, he looked forward to the dinner in the evening.
…
In the evening, there was a family dinner at Ming Mansion.
"Mr. Pei! You're fine!"
Several important members of the crew, including Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyao, met Pei Qian at the door of the hotel.
"What are you doing? It's so cold. Come in and tell me."
Pei Qian quickly led everyone inside.
Before entering the restaurant, Pei Qian whispered to everyone: "As I told you before, everyone has come all the way to help me make a movie, and I have to fulfill my duty as a landlord."
"The reservation at the nameless restaurant is for the 20th, which is three days later. So in the evening three days later, let's go have a big meal again."
"In these three days, everyone will have some fun in Jingzhou and have a good rest."
"Today's meal can be regarded as a celebration of completion."
"That meal three days later is a practice for everyone. By the way, I wish the movie a box office hit!"
"So today's meal may be a little bit inferior in quality, so don't mind it, just eat it."
Pei Qian's words are, on the one hand, to inoculate everyone in advance so that they can be mentally prepared for today's meal. On the other hand, they are also to find a valid reason for eating two meals in a row.
Both reasons are very legitimate and impeccable, and the system has no reason to disagree.
Zhang Zuting smiled: "Mr. Pei, what you said is too outrageous."
"It is true that part of the reason why we came to support you is because of your face, Mr. Pei, but the movie's good script and good team are also very important factors."
"Mr. Pei's script is good. If the movie is a box office hit, then all of us will also benefit from it. It's not too late to thank Mr. Pei!"
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and sat down at Ming Mansion's family banquet.
Li Shi is not here today. It seems that the company has something to deal with.
However, he had already said hello in advance. The store manager here knew Pei Qian, and this time the restaurant was reserved, so he naturally had to treat him cordially.
Soon, delicious dishes were served one after another.
Probably because I didn’t bring Xiao Tang with me today, the food was served very quickly, and there were no problems along the way. Everything was normal.
Everyone in the crew tasted the exquisite dishes one after another and felt satisfied.
Just a little confused.
When Mr. Pei said before, "Let's all make do with each other," was he being modest, or did he really think so?
If the quality of this place is relatively low, what kind of quality does the nameless restaurant have to be?
The heroine Lin Ruyi couldn't help asking this question to Lu Zhiyao next to her, because Lu Zhiyao had eaten at an unknown restaurant.
Lu Zhiyao thought for a while: "It's not easy to describe, but... Wuming Restaurant is indeed better than here, and much better."
…
At another table, Pei Qian was discussing with Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo the arrangements after the film is completed.
"The editing of the movie has already started. A rough cut will be released in a few days for you to take a look at."
"After that, in addition to editing, there will also be post-production special effects and a series of miscellaneous things. In short, try to get it done within a month."
"But Mr. Pei, I can't guarantee this time. I can only say as soon as possible."
Pei Qian was a little disappointed: "One month...then it will definitely not be released in time for the Spring Festival."
"For Valentine's Day...it's pretty boring."
"It's a pity."
The Spring Festival of 2011 is on February 3rd, with less than half a month left.
Even if the post-production period is exhausted, there is no way it will be released during the Spring Festival.
Of course, Pei Qian had no intention of keeping up with the schedule, let alone asking everyone to work overtime.
The reason why it is a pity is that Pei Qian feels that these two schedules are very suitable for the release of the movie "Better Tomorrow".
During the Spring Festival, family reunions are the world of comedies.
Valentine's Day is the world of romance movies.
A film as vicious and cruel as "Better Tomorrow", cast under the guise of "sci-fi romance" and with such a confusing name, will definitely be scolded when it is released in these two schedules.
It was squeezed out by those comedies and romance films, and nothing was left.
When a movie is released, the schedule is still very important.
Because movies released at the same time compete fiercely with each other, good movies have high attendance rates and rising film schedules, which will naturally squeeze the living space of other movies.
Pei Qian is just hoping to make a big hit and squeeze out his own movie schedule.
Zhu Xiaoce said: "There is a lot of traffic during the Spring Festival and Valentine's Day, which is indeed a good time. However, the connotation of our film is a bit deep, so it may not be suitable for these two time periods."
"In my opinion, this movie might as well be scheduled for May Day. If you have a good meal, you won't be late."
May Day?
Don't make trouble, the settlement will be on March 31st. If you set the date for May Day, won't the day lilies be cold?
Although there is a project in this cycle that can delay settlement, Pei Qian still wants to leave such a critical mechanism of delayed settlement to Panic Hostel, how can he leave it to a crappy movie that is destined to lose money.
From Pei Qian's point of view, the sooner this movie is released, the better. Anyway, it is destined to lose everything. If it is delayed for one more day, there will be more risks.
Pei Qian said: "May Day is too late and completely unnecessary. In my opinion, just one month later, February 22nd is a good day."
Zhu Xiaoce: "?"
He took out his phone and looked at the calendar and found that February 22nd was a Tuesday, not a holiday, not even a weekend.
Zhu Xiaoce's confused expression lasted for two seconds, and then his brows widened.
Does Mr. Pei have other plans? Or is this an auspicious day?
Looking at Mr. Pei's serious look, it doesn't look like he is joking.
Zhu Xiaoce nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, let's set it for February 22. But... if we set it on such a day, the pressure to promote our movie will be great."
Whatever.
Pei Qian was very indifferent in his heart. What's the point of promoting a movie on the street? It would be better if there were no movies scheduled after it was released and no one knew about the movie.
"Anyway, that's what we do, eat the food and eat the food."
…
…
Full of wine and food.
Pei Qian sent everyone on the crew away one by one.
For the next three days, the crew's itinerary has been arranged, and there will be someone to take them around Jingzhou, so Pei Qian doesn't have to worry about it.
Of course, this trip is not a roller coaster, bungee jump or haunted house, it is just a normal trip.
After all, Pei Qian knew very well that he had to treat friends and enemies differently.
People have worked hard and spent money to help them make street movies, and they may have to bear some infamy because the movie is so bad. If Pei Qian makes someone else's life worse, will he still be a human being?
"Mr. Pei, please sit down for a while?" Li Shi came to the door and said.
Pei Qian saw that he seemed to have something to say and nodded: "Okay."
The two of them returned to the restaurant and found an empty seat to sit down. The waiter brought a pot of tea.
"Mr. Li, just say it if you have anything to say." Pei Qian wanted to bypass the politeness. He also wanted to go back to bed early and get up early to review tomorrow.
Li Shi sighed with emotion: "Mr. Pei said before that he would take good care of the business here. I thought it was just a polite word, but I didn't expect that Mr. Pei is really very interesting."
"I've only been in business for more than a week, and Mr. Pei has already booked two sessions..."
Pei Qian took a sip of tea and found that the tea was indeed not bad: "Mr. Li, I told you not to think too much about it. This is just a normal dinner. Mr. Li, you don't just want to say this, right?"
"
Li Shi smiled and seemed to have made up his mind: "Mr. Pei, I have thought about it."
"I'm going to invest some money in your haunted house project!"
"It doesn't matter even if the money is wasted, it should be a thank you to Mr. Pei!"
Pei Qian was drinking tea, and a question mark slowly floated over his head.?
