Coming to the floor where the Bee Tour's Human Resources Department was located alone, Lin Jiwu glanced at his surroundings, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled.

It is true that many people are queuing up in the hall, but these are all black-haired and yellow-skinned domestic compatriots, and none of the legendary foreign exchange employees have been seen.

Ignoring the colleagues who were holding invoices and other reimbursements, he staggered to the consultation desk and began to try to connect.

"Xiao Song, people haven't arrived yet?"

The clerk surnamed Song glanced at him and shook his head: "Not yet, the plane is late, the road is congested, it's normal to be late for a while, Lin Jiaotou, you're too anxious!"

"Can I not be in a hurry? It's too late, everyone has been snatched away!" Lin Jiwu said as a matter of course, "This group of people have all participated in the development of 3A masterpieces, and they have experience and face are absolutely scarce, if people cut off their beards halfway, I can't cry to death?"

The staff smiled when they heard this, "People used to develop all kinds of FPS games, aren't you playing football with Blue Fireball?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Jiwu waved his hand disappreciatively, "S has a football mode, we can also have a shooting mode, anyway, the physics engine is the same, and it doesn't take much trouble to change the parameters." ”

"It's useless to tell me that," the clerk replied with a smile, looking away from the former's face and looking in the other direction, his expression rather subtle.

Sensing that something was wrong, Lin Jiwu turned his head to look back, only to see two figures, one red and one green, appearing at the door, walking towards him.

Recognizing the identities of the two at a glance, he suddenly changed his face and asked in a low voice, "What are you two running here for?"

Like him, these two are also the heads of Bee Games' studios: the male is Deng Lei, the head coach of the newly established shooting online game studio "Strong Oxidant S", and the female is Mo Xiaoman, whose "Yaochi Fantasy" is famous for her beautiful Fengxian mobile game.

Facing Lin Jiwu's questioning, Mo Xiaoman smiled before speaking: "Mr. Lin, what you do, I will do too." ”

The voice is soft and glutinous, but the attitude is very tough, and he will not give an inch.

Manager Lin raised his eyebrows and stretched out his finger to point behind him: "I'm here to hand in the resignation letter, and you are also here to apply for resignation?"

Manager Mo didn't give an inch, "Giggles, if you quit me, I won't be a puppy!"

The words are in a hurry, there are no good words, Lin Jiwu is a little difficult to talk about for a while.

Since the implementation of the small studio reform, these project directors have become game managers, fully responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of the game, except for the part that is handed over to the company, the rest of the income can be distributed by themselves. Independence and income have greatly increased, but they can still get the company's engine maintenance, material sorting, multi-language cross-platform, resource allocation and other logistics support, a fool will quit and go alone!

Not to mention anything else, if you go out independently, the group of people who are going to be robbed today will have nothing to do with you.

Lin Jiwu didn't want to break up, and Mo Xiaoman also didn't plan to run away, so the atmosphere was a little cold for a while.

Seeing this, Deng Lei pulled the camouflage hoodie on his body, "Brother, my team has just opened, and it is the time when there is a shortage of major generals." Most of these people have developed FPS games before, and there are also veteran employees of the battle face, who happen to be professional counterparts, and they should join S to continue the frontier and burn with us. ”

The words "professional counterpart" were bitten very hard by him, obviously ironizing the other two for not doing their jobs properly, not doing football and female fairy, but they came to compete with him for development talents, which was completely unreasonable.

As soon as these words came out, the two of them really changed color. Lin Jiwu sneered: "Your studio really needs to add some manpower, so as not to get caught in the bad problem of F digging pits and not filling them." But this group of international employees is not for you. ”

Mo Xiaoman picked up the conversation: "Maybe people are too sad and plan to change their appetites?

"Isn't this the end of it!" Deng Lei said briskly, S is a professional counterpart, and his own side has a great advantage.

The three of them stared at each other here, but the staff member surnamed Song of the Human Resources Department watched the play calmly, and similar scenes of snatching people were going to be staged every once in a while, and they were already surprised.

In the final analysis, it is a conflict of interests, the studio's income is linked to the game's benefits, but the personal income is inversely proportional to the number of members, coupled with the fact that game development only requires a large number of manpower in the middle and late stages, it will naturally form a culture of stabilizing core members, restricting new members, and valuing temporary workers.

These temporary workers are uniformly dispatched and paid by Beegame, some are newcomers, some are professional fire brigades, and some are idle employees of other studios at home and abroad, which is the so-called exchange staff.

Although they are all temporary workers, their experience, skills and professional backgrounds vary greatly, newcomers are cheaper, firefighting teams are more skilled, and exchanging employees can bring sparks of inspiration to the collision of ideas, each with its own good. In general, experienced overseas exchange employees are the most popular, and whenever such people join in and report, there will be studio bosses who are short of people to run to the human resources department to compete for it.

Waiting is always easy to make people upset and uncomfortable, Lin Jiwu turned around a few times and the first one couldn't stand it, left the consultation desk and walked to the side to wait, sat on the couch and played with his mobile phone.

Seeing that he ran to the side to be lazy, the other two also followed.

Although the group has a rule that everyone must exercise and have regular medical checkups, the recent frequent overtime work has taken a toll on their health. Fortunately, after the game is released, there will be a mandatory holiday to help regain blood, and the physique usually does not fall all the way to the end.

Seeing Mo Xiaoman walking to his side and sitting down, the surnamed Lin had nothing to say, and opened his mouth to ask: "Manager Mo, I heard that you sold the right to adapt a TV series again, did you make less money this time?"

Thanks to Beegame's well-developed engine and material library, Yaochi Mirage will launch a mobile game every two months. Although most of them have disappeared and merged, there are still some popular products that have survived, and then they have been favored by the film and television circles of unpopular IP places and bought them at a high price.

"It's still your Xianxia theme that is cool, and the film and television industry is lining up to ask for copyright. ”

"Your football is not bad, the country attaches great importance to the pursuit of capital, and there will be many football dramas soon. ”

"It's difficult!" Lin Jiwu shook his head, "It's all thunder and rain, and there are a lot of projects, but there are few that are actually filmed." There are too many action scenes in football scenes, and the venue is also very troublesome, so you can't let the hero and heroine fall in love outside the stadium the whole time, right?"

"Hey!" Deng Lei interjected, "If you want to say that it is difficult, it is still our shooting game that is the most difficult to change, there are a lot of actions and professional equipment throughout the process, which is dangerous and costly." ”

Mo Xiaoman raised his head, "Aren't anti-Japanese dramas all war-themed dramas?"

Deng Lei pursed his lips disdainfully, "You said those Republic of China romance dramas that can even be mistaken about the nationality of the tank and the rate of fire of the main gun?"

"Well, this really shouldn't be," Lin Jiwu had also heard of the stalk of "Sherman 1 Tank", and couldn't help sighing: "Even if you don't invite professionals to be screenwriters and consultants like Hollywood movies and American dramas, as long as you have played World of Tanks or our classical war series, you won't make such a mistake!"

"Stars are busy, directors are busier, investors are the busiest, and the richer the person, the more precious the time. In the past, there were still stars playing mobile games on the set to pass the time, but now with face replacement and cutout technology, stars only need to go over to shoot close-up emojis, and they don't even have to wait for the scene to even play mobile games, even if they play, they play in front of the camera for a while. ”

"Is there really a face-picking filming?" For this kind of high-tech, Lin Jiwu only heard of its name, and asked when he heard it.

"It's not so exaggerated," Mo Xiaoman has been to the crew a few times, knows some general situation, and said later: "Actually, it's all about money." ”

"Popular stars are the guarantee of ratings and topics, and their salaries will naturally rise. The calculation of the salary of the TV series is calculated according to the number of episodes converted according to the appearance time, and a large number of stand-ins can save a lot of money for the crew. The star lost his salary but freed up time, he could go to other crews to play scenes, and he was paid a lot of money, and he also suppressed his competitors, but in general he did not suffer a loss. ”

"What about acting, what about artistic value?"

"TV dramas are originally fast food, what kind of acting skills and art do you want?" Deng Lei continued to pout, "As long as TV stations and video websites are willing to spend money to buy them, even if they shoot a lump of something, they can still make a lot of money." ”

Mo Xiaoman pointed to the roof, "The main reason is that the income structure is too simple, most TV dramas rely on the distribution of broadcast rights to make money, and TV stations and video websites rely on advertising to live, and TV dramas other than the main theme will naturally be dominated by the advertiser's aesthetic of 'only looking at fame and only heat is the picture'." When the paid broadcast and peripheral development are developed, the situation will be much better, whether it is good or bad, and consumers will pay to vote. ”

"Wait!" Lin Jiwu suddenly reacted, "Manager Mo, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"Is there any?" the latter blinked, feigning confusion. In order to get the money faster, they unanimously decided to sell the adaptation rights to outsiders, although they had consulted Bee Pictures in advance and received the latter's nod of approval, she was still reluctant to talk about it.

Just as he was thinking about how to prevaricate, his eyes saw a group of people suddenly appear at the door, and Mo Xiaoman suddenly stood up with a face full of surprise.

The person who came also had black hair and light brown skin, but his facial features were full of "European atmosphere", which was obviously the arrival of the exchange staff that everyone had been waiting for for a long time.

The other two noticed the abnormality, and also stood up and walked towards the group of foreigners, and Lin Jiwu also specially put the AI assistant into the "Bulgarian interpretation" mode.

The huge success of the heiher series has not only made the developer Prjek "Donkey" famous, but also made Eastern European manufacturing in the eyes of international publishers. Big and small have set up studios in Eastern Europe to take advantage of cheap and affordable human resources, and Bee Games has also been a part of it, and this group of European employees is from Bee Games Bulgaria.

The reason why the three of them are so interested is because many of them are originally from ryek, and there are veteran employees involved in rysis 3 and arfaeL.

ryek is a game manufacturer founded in 1999 by the three Yerli brothers, who are Turkish-Germans, and are known for repeatedly improving the graphics of P games.

In 2004, they launched the original game Farry for Ubisoft France, with powerful graphics and an in-house engine ryEngine. Three years later, rysis, based on E2, has gone one step further, shocking countless gamers, and also abusing countless mid-to-high-end graphics cards, nicknamed "graphics card crisis". To this day, the ability to turn on the Crysis effect is still an important criterion for testing top-of-the-line graphics cards.

The extreme graphics made rysis quickly famous, but the excessive hardware requirements and the pirated P game environment at the time caused this product to be popular and did not make any money. Seeing this situation, Ryek chose to walk on two legs, moving to the console market with better copyright status, and at the same time carrying out engine licensing and technical services to the outside world.

However, these two roads have also failed to go through, and there is an upper limit to the fixed performance of the host hardware, and the manufacturers are competing for creativity and optimization rather than top-level graphics. Engine licensing is even more tragic, in the past, the old overlord Unreal Engine put down its body and also engaged in free licensing, and then Uniy3 and Bee PE rushed to catch up, but failed to achieve the expected results.

ryek had to put down his body later, tried online games, mobile games, R and other "non-mainstream" markets, and also came up with works with a good reputation, but he was always one breath away from becoming a "hit", and the cash flow continued to deteriorate, and then finally came to the point of laying off employees in arrears and selling game copyrights.

Because it once opened the European and American markets with sequel games such as Herl Homestead 3 and Darksiders 3 with a large number of fans, Bee Games has always been interested in acquiring the rights of well-known games, and at that time it also contacted the other party to try to buy them, and finally only got the Asian rights of arfaeL.

This P online game was once introduced into China, but it was in trouble because of too few players, poor income, and difficulties in the operation of ryek Huhai Studio, which is responsible for localization, and finally stopped because of the expiration of the contract, and die-hard players had to switch to the Russian server to continue the frontier.

Although the full copyright was not bought out, Bee Games also got the right to develop and improve on its own, so it specially recruited FPS elites to set up a new studio "Strong Oxidant S" to be responsible for this game.

According to the plan, they will soon release a nostalgic version of the battle face, first to regain the popularity of players, and then slowly change the game engine, which will be much easier with the help of the old man. Deng Lei made a special trip to squat today, just to grab a few more old employees to go back to help, if he could serve everyone in one pot, it would be better.

As for the other two, they are not as clearly directed as he is.

Lin Jiwu's Blue Fireball has recently been designing Crazy Soccer 4, and in this generation they plan to get the protagonist out of the field to play wild ball and fight in groups, as long as they have experience in action console game development. Mo Xiaoman's Yaochi Fantasy is busy with the matter of host transplantation, as long as he is proficient in console development, the requirements are more broad.
