Whether it is according to the Celestial Empire or South Korea's Spring Festival holiday plan, the two days of January 31 and February 1 are Monday and Tuesday, as well as the 28th and 29th of the lunar month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

South Korea only has three days off from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, that is, from February 3 to 5. The Celestial Empire's statutory seven-day holiday is actually three days, but the Saturday and Sunday of the Spring Festival week and the Saturday of the two weeks before and after the Spring Festival are transferred.

All in all, on January 31 and February 1, there is no such thing as a holiday in either the Celestial Empire or South Korea.

Of course, in the atmosphere of approaching the New Year, and not in the situation of catching up with the progress of the version node, everyone has little heart to work.

Especially those from the Celestial Empire, from time to time, someone with a mobile phone into the small conference room behind closed doors to make dozens of minutes of calls, it is estimated that they are all contacting their families to report, saying when they will be able to get home or something.

After all, I stayed abroad for half a year and didn't go home, and my family was a little more concerned, Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong could understand both of them, not to mention the ordinary employees below, how could the two of them not be like this.

So I didn't care much, as if I couldn't see it.

Duan Shanshan was a little more depressed, in addition to reporting to his family, he also called Cai Pingping as agreed, and honestly said that he would go to Yanping to visit on the fifth day of the new year, and by the way, he asked her parents what their preferences usually were, and he was ready to prepare some gifts or something......

Since you're going to act, you have to be a little professional, right?

Cai Pingping didn't hum or haw, saying that you can come by yourself, and our family is not short of your greeting gifts.

If it was just his own face, Duan Shanshan would of course be happy, but after all, in the eyes of the other party's family, he represented his grandfather and mother, and in terms of the relationship between the two families, he went empty-handed, and he was not the only one who lost.

"Then you can do it yourself. ”

In the end, Cai Pingping said this sentence so impatiently that she hung up the phone.

When Duan Shanshan muttered and put away the phone and walked out of the conference room, the door of the conference room was opened, and Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong walked in one after the other.

"Well, I've been here a little longer, sorry. ”

Knowing that the time spent on his two phone calls was indeed a bit unusual, Duan Shanshan immediately apologized after a moment.

But it's not such a trivial matter that the two of you want to run around to criticize me together, right?

"Who cares about you!" Liu Kewei glared, seeing that he nodded and wanted to leave, he reached out and pulled Duan Shanshan's sleeve to prevent him from leaving, "Don't run, talk about business, you also stay." ”

This closed beta has just ended, and the next stage of work has not yet been carried out in earnest, what else can there be?

Duan Shanshan was puzzled and found a chair to sit down.

"First of all, it's about the sound effects. ”

As soon as Liu Kewei spoke, Duan Shanshan understood.

It's really a serious matter.

In addition to the curated tables, the code of the program, and the graphics of the art, music and sound effects are also one of the essential components of a complete game.

It's just that this part is naturally a little less important than the three departments of planning and art.

In the Celestial Empire, there are very few game development teams that will set up a music and sound effects department and find someone to sit full-time.

There is no Holy Grail Studio, neither does Xia Fei R&D Department II, and naturally there will be no Threesome Studio.

Of course, in the current version of the game of Six Tribulations, there must be music and sound effects, but these are basically temporary alternative resources that Liu Kewei "privately collected" from the Internet as a level planner.

In other words, there is no copyright.

It is not a big problem to make do with it during internal testing, but when it is really to be commercialized, it must be completely replaced.

Or do you risk being sued and continue to infringe? If it's some small game company in China, of course you can do it, anyway, you can use it unknowingly for now, and then you can talk about it when you really get sued.

But neither Naxon nor Prosperous Network could have taken such a big risk.

These two giant game companies can't afford to make this money.

However, the matter of music and sound effects is basically not mentioned by anyone, if it wasn't for Liu Kewei saying this today, Duan Shanshan really can't remember this stubble.

So he frowned and thought about it for a while, and when he was still discussing the preparation of the studio in Hangzhou, he seemed to have a plan for this aspect for a long time - "Didn't you say that after the game agency was sold, you would find a professional game music and sound company to outsource?"

This is a common practice in the game development industry of the Celestial Empire, and more specifically, the practice of the small R&D team of the Celestial Empire.

A team, a project, can't afford to maintain a full-time music sound engineer, and there is no need for workload and urgency, so some small music companies and music studios have become the best choice for outsourcing.

Normally, all the background music of a game is only a few or a dozen songs, and the outsourcing price is about tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan, including creation fees and production fees - naturally, under such a cost, it is impossible to find a professional musician band to play and record, basically MIDI music (digital).

"I remember hearing you say before, aren't you planning to find a music company in Jiangcheng to do outsourcing?" Duan Shanshan asked a little puzzled, "Just do what you think, and besides, this is the job of that part of your level, what do you want to do with a copywriter?"

Liu Kewei slapped Duan Shanshan's head with a smile and said: "Copywriter, your sister, copywriter, you will talk about a broken copywriter all day long, as if nothing else has anything to do with you except copywriting-related things." Do you have the consciousness of a studio to be a seven-in-one?"

"It's really not!" Duan Shanshan honestly shook his head and denied it, "As for the studio, you and Che'er can just watch and handle it, as long as the two of you decide, I will support it unconditionally." ”

"Don't be poor you two, get down to business. Che Guanglong scratched the back of his head and sighed, speechless at the bickering between the two.

Liu Kewei grinned, took out a box of cigars, and threw one to Duan Shanshan.

This is the Cuban cigar that Director Zhao stuffed to him privately when he was in a good mood, and it is said that the price is very expensive, Liu Kewei has no cigar addiction, and secondly, he is also a little reluctant, so he rarely smokes.

After lighting one for himself, Liu Kewei took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth and said, "Director Zhao told me about this." Frankly speaking, if it was hung under the banner of Xia Fei in China before, it would be no problem to cooperate with the music company in Jiangcheng. But for Naxon, the company's grade is a bit low....... ”

Duan Shanshan didn't speak yet, but Che Guanglong pouted his lips first to express his disdain: "The music company in Jiangcheng you mentioned, I also know that at least thirty percent of the online games in the Celestial Empire are outsourced to them, right?

Liu Kewei smacked his lips, rubbed his chin and sighed, nodded and said: "I don't blame Naxon here, that Jiangcheng's music company is usually outsourced to some small game companies, although the quantity is very large and the quality is okay, but after all, there is a lot of work, and the things made are inevitably a little cookie-cutter...... I used to think that it would be okay to use it anyway.,We don't want to be able to overpower the products of other game companies in this regard.,It's good not to be picked out by others.,Anyway, people are known for their cheap prices and fast delivery.,So I'm going to cooperate with them.。 Now Naxon can't look down on that side, which is quite normal. Besides, Naxon has long-term partners in this area, and compared with this side, Jiangcheng is indeed a bit insufficient. ”

"Who?" Che Guanglong blinked, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but gasp, "You can't say it's S.M. Company, right?"

Liu Kewei nodded with a bitter face and said: "For the sound effect, Naxon has its own independent sound department, so you don't need to find someone else to do it, and the music part is really the S.M. company that most people look for......"

Che Guanglong and Duan Shanshan looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

What else is there to say, South Korea's No. 1 Entertainment Company, one of the symbolic symbols of Hallyu culture, its idol group does not talk about the world, but it is really no problem to say that it is popular all over East Asia. Compared with such an opponent who is not a magnitude, Jiangcheng's music company really has nothing to say.

"There are so many idol groups in S.M. Company that want to release singles and albums, and some have the opportunity to make a lot of money, and they also have the energy and appetite to eat such a small piece of cake as game music?" asked Che Guanglong suspiciously.

"Just like idol, there are two types of composers. Do you think S.M. will send a god of Yu Yongzhen's level to compose music for us?" Liu Kewei explained with a smile, "For an entertainment company as big as a family, there are too many people who can take on the difficult job of creating and producing a few game background music. ”

"Okay, in that case, why are you still talking to us? Anyway, the production requirements are also in charge of your level planning, so wouldn't it be better to just write a document and throw it over?" Duan Shanshan responded angrily.

"Nonsense, this kind of thing is not decided, how can I not inform the two of you if it is decided? Do you really think that this studio is a matter of cooperation between me and Naxon?" Liu Kewei was so angry that his eyebrows were not eyebrows, and his nose was not his nose.

Duan Shanshan and Che Guanglong exchanged glances, and said in unison, "Okay, we know, is there anything else?"

"Love whitewashing! Look at the ...... of virtue in the two of you" Liu Kewei had a sad expression on his face, and hummed for a long time, and then held back another sentence.

"The Prosperous Network Products Department sent a request to the market, saying that it was going to make a promotional video advertisement on the Internet, which was divided into three versions: 5 seconds, 15 seconds and 60 seconds. In addition to the game video, there should also be a song as background music, which can be a cover of an old song, do you two have any ideas?"
