Chapter 131: Painting Cakes
The reason for the development of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan" is, to put it bluntly, to generate electricity for love.
But......
Once "Legend of the Ancient Sword" hits Steam, it means that there is another distribution channel besides the physical version!
Meng Xianming undeniably was moved.
"But Mr. Mao ......" suppressed the excitement in his heart, Meng Xianming said with some embarrassment: "Penguins are also making their own game platforms......"
"Penguin's game platform, the score is nine to one, and I'm seven to three here. Mao Yi said directly.
Meng Xianming stopped talking.
After being silent for a while, Meng Xianming smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to Mao Yi: "Deal." ”
"Hehe, wise choice. ”
The next day, Bilibili's employees came to complete the follow-up procedures.
Mao Yi took Lin Zhiling back to Shanghai.
The headquarters of NetElement Shengtang will be moved to Shanghai, and Beijing will become a branch.
Then NetElement Shengtang was merged into Bilibili and became Bilibili Wangyuan Shengtang Studio.
Of course, this takes time, about two weeks to get used to.
The machines are newly replaced, and they are all used by Bilibili.
As for the replaced computer, Mao Yi originally planned to sell it.
But then I thought about it, and I couldn't use it.
Employees who studied in the U.S. soon returned.
Entered Dream Studio, that is, the "Demon Souls" development team in charge of Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Some of the employees of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tales" were streamlined and three groups of game departments were established.
The three teams are mainly responsible for the operation of small games that will soon be released on the national bank's steam, such as "Flash Kombat" and "The Legend of the Heroes", as well as the department that develops new small games.
Thanks to Lin Zhiling's sudden landing on the hot search, Bilibili released recruitment information in a timely manner.
Recruit a new batch of people.
I'm not looking for well-known producers who have developed some well-known games, but some employees whose resumes are not so good-looking.
This group of employees were all personally selected by Mao Yi and Hidetaka Miyazaki.
After the selection of people at that time, it also caused an uproar in the industry.
Because the selection criteria of the Bilibili game department are really strange.
He doesn't want the best!
It's the newcomers.
Most of them are newcomers who have just joined the company for two or three years and have not learned anything.
That's weird.
But Mao Yi didn't care.
The personnel of the three groups, except for some elites who have been added to Dream Studio, have all been added to the three groups.
The third group has also become the work department with the largest number of people in the game department.
Except for some of the people who were responsible for the transplantation of the steam of the National Bank, the remaining 30 people were idle.
Calling these people together, Mao Yi said: "I'm sure you've also heard that the national bank steam is about to be launched, but now there is a problem, I plan to release ten first games, but at present, there are only seven that can go up, and there are two flash works, so what I need now is to be able to produce three PC games in a short period of time, and because of budget reasons, the total budget of these three games cannot exceed five million red bills." ”
Many people turned their heads to each other.
Mao Yi didn't interrupt everyone's discussion, took a sip of tea, and waited until everyone stopped talking before he spoke: "I know it's difficult, don't say three of the five million red bills, you can't even make a game, but ...... We are Bilibili! Everyone in the industry is watching our jokes! I'm sure you've read the recent Weibo and know what the outside world calls our company. ”
Everyone's faces are not good-looking.
Because the resumes of the recent applicants are relatively thin, the outside world has labeled Bilibili's game department as a fish belly department.
The company is even known as the fish belly company!
This kind of shame made everyone hold their breath after entering Bilibili, enjoying various benefits, and enjoying benefits that they couldn't imagine before.
Bilibili's game department will only have three in the future.
Mao Yi said seriously: "One, the main development is a group of 3A masterpieces, that is, Dream Studio, the second is the main development of domestic 3A network element Shengtang Studio, and the third is our three groups, do you know why you don't have a name? Because in my opinion, there is no need!"
Many people blushed, but they didn't say anything.
"Because the other two working groups have their own titles, but you don't! You don't have a big budget, and the current budget ceiling for each game is only five million! or even ...... It's only a million! What is that money enough for? You don't know, I don't know, so until you can come up with a blockbuster, you three groups, three groups! No name!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.
"If you are not convinced, you will show results! You are newcomers, but it also means that you are not those old employees with hardened minds! You must give full play to your imagination! In the next three days, each of you wants to create three games, and I want the total budget to be compressed within 5 million! The person who can do it is the person in charge! Of course, if someone has a good individual project, you can put it forward, as long as it can be approved by me, the company can let you be the producer! Of course, the top three games can be the starting lineup games this time, so ...... If you want a name, you can show your own skills! In addition, you have a good advantage here, that is, as long as someone's work is confirmed to be produced, then that person can receive a reward of 10% of the production cost! That is to say, if you develop a game with a cost of one million, you can receive a reward of 100,000 yuan!
Under the so-called heavy money, there must be brave men.
After hearing Mao Yi's words, everyone's eyes were red!
If all of your works are selected, then it means ......
You can get 10% of the total production cost yourself!
If that number is more than four million......
Then you can get more than 400,000 yourself?
Add in the salary of 5,000 per month, and it is almost 500,000 a year!
500,000, in this era, you can buy a toilet in Shanghai!
Even in second- and third-tier cities, you can buy a house!
How is this not exciting?
See everyone's excitement.
Mao Yi also smiled.
In fact, from the very beginning, he never expected Dream Studio and Netelement Shengtang to make money immediately.
What he really likes is actually three groups.
In this group, they are basically newcomers.
Don't look at it as newcomers, but these people have solid basic skills, and what they lack is just an excellent idea.
Independent games are the way for Bilibili to make money in the future.
