Chapter 45 Inspecting the Industry
Early the next morning, Chen Tianliao began to plan his itinerary in the Wa Kingdom. First of all, I want to go to Chen Tianliao's studio in the Wa Kingdom. He really hasn't seen the institution that Takekawa set up for him. Then I met with the staff of Tianliao Records who studied in the Japanese country, and then stationed in the game company to fully promote the development of the cash cow of the game department. What's more, he is planning a concert of Chen Tianliao's works. Although he is young and has only made his debut for a short time, how can the number of his "excellent works" be ranked among the top ten living creators and the top five active creators?
Before coming to the Wa Kingdom, Chen Tianliao had already asked Zhuchuan to contact for a concert and sent letters to the famous singers of the Wa Kingdom to ask for their intentions. The concert is scheduled to start in the summer of the following year. Each singer can get paid in money, or they can choose to get a song tailor-made by Chen Tianliao, of course, the song can be delivered first. These days, Takekawa has received feedback from many singers. Those singers who have sung Chen Tianliao's works have said that they should be on the stage, and those who have not sung are more interested in the songs written by Chen Tianliao, especially the singer-songwriters, who even wrote to express their hope to exchange Chen Tianliao's experience in creation.
When Chen Tianliao was reading the singers' replies to the letters, Zhu Chuan and Chen Mei, who were wearing gym clothes, returned home with breakfast. Chen Tianliao nodded and said, "Are you back?"
Takekawa said, "Don't look at those things yet, let's have breakfast." ”
Chen Tianliao put down the letter in his hand, stood up, and sighed: "Your country's entertainment industry is too strong, countless excellent singers, countless excellent creators, and countless excellent star-making teams. In this world, only the United States can be stronger than you, right?"
Takekawa smiled: "Actually, we belong to a group second only to the United States, comparable to the United Kingdom and Germany. Of course, Germany has a tendency to lag behind in recent years, and Britain has been too influenced by the United States, so we are a little better. France, Australia, Canada, Italy, Sweden, and the Soviet Union are considered the third group. The countries of the second and third groups together may be able to compete with the United States in record sales, but their influence is still far worse than that of the United States. ”
Chen Tianliao nodded: "Yes, now is the era when the United States leads the world, and global fashion depends on the United States." ”
Takekawa said, "But in terms of games, our country is not inferior to the United States now." And Liao Sauce's game is very popular. Bomberman's sales must be close to 1.5 million boxes. It's already one of the best-selling games of all time. ”
Chen Tianliao nodded. With the popularity of game consoles in this year, this sales are already very high. It's much better than the Bomberman series in the previous life. Perhaps due to the characteristics of the previous Huaguo's multiple online versions of Bomberman battles, the battle mode has been strengthened, and the new online multiplayer battle function of the game console is specially supported, giving full play to the charm of this game. Takekawa even organized a Bomberman multiplayer online battle tournament with a total prize fund of 2 million yuan to promote it, and it was televised, showing the charm of Bomberman to the audience. There are also people in Europe and the United States who have organized some Bomberman competitions sporadically. These have had a great effect on the promotion of the game, and even in turn drove the sales of game consoles.
"Our next game is at the temple level, and if we do it well, our company will have no worries in ten years. ”
"Yes, BOSS!" Takekawa nodded with a smile. She is now superstitious about Chen Tianliao.
After breakfast, Chen Tianliao and Chen Mei followed Zhuchuan to Chen Tianliao Music Studio. The studio is not very large, there is only a hundred square meters of office space, inside is an assistant, a receptionist, two arrangers, and a finance. When Takekawa's focus shifted to the game company, the assistant was in charge of the day-to-day operations of the studio. The assistant and the two editors admired Chen Tianliao very much, and when they saw him, they all enthusiastically came up to greet him, and they both took out their own works for Chen Tianliao to correct. I have to say that there are a lot of talents in the Wa Kingdom, and the basic music skills of these three people are quite solid, and what they lack is just the creativity that makes people shine. Chen Tianliao also coped politely and gave them some encouragement.
At noon, Chen Tianliao finally met Huang Zhong and Su Wenhai, who were studying management in the Wa Kingdom, and Wang Yuming, who was studying singing. Everyone had lunch together at an izakaya and talked about work. It was mainly Huang Zhong, Su Wenhai, and Wang Yuming who reported their achievements to Chen Tianliao. For almost a year, Huang Zhong mainly worked as an assistant in an entertainment company, and he rushed to do everything in the company, contacted many departments, and had some experience in the operation of entertainment companies. But he felt he needed to learn a little more. Su Wenhai, on the other hand, is more familiar with the operation of the broker and asks to work first after returning to China.
Wang Yuming's harvest is relatively large. The mentor is very optimistic about her and is encouraging her to stay in the country and develop. At the same time, she also recommended a person to Chen Tianliao.
"Yes, before I came to the Wa Kingdom, Liu Xia recommended it to me, and asked me to ask him for more help in the Wa Kingdom. He is Liu Xia's hometown in Jiaodong, and also the child of a middle-level leader in Jiaodong Province, the university is to study mathematics at Shuimu University, and later studied abroad at public scholarship, master's degree in mathematics, and is currently studying for a doctorate in software engineering. Many Waguo companies have taken a fancy to him and hope that he can stay and work in Wakoku. He is interested in your game company and wants to work in your company. By the way, Liu Xia talked to him on the phone before signing the contract, and it was he who introduced Liu Xia to your deeds in the Wa Kingdom, and Liu Xia finally decided to sign the contract. ”
Chen Tianliao was very interested when he heard this, and said, "Do you have his phone number? I'm going to the game company in the afternoon, just to see if I can ask him to come over and have a look." ”
Wang Yuming smiled: "Okay, if I give you his phone number, he will be happy." ”
Chen Tianliao nodded and changed the subject: "Yuming, if I have time, I'll talk to your mentor, if it's really possible, I can give you an album of Japanese languages first!"
Wang Yuming said happily: "Okay! Thank you boss!"
After lunch, Chen Tianliao first borrowed the phone of the izakaya to call Wang Yuming, and after making an appointment to meet at the game company at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he went to the game company. At present, there are more than 50 employees in the game company, which are divided into two major development departments: console and handheld, and there is no computer department. As for the development of the computer version of Tetris, it is all done part-time by employees who can program computers. Chen Tianliao does not plan to set up a computer game development department here. Console games were so developed that computer games were limited, and even mobile games were affected. The great computer game companies of later generations are basically Western. So Chen Tianliao plans to open a computer game company in Laomei.
The number of people in the two departments of planning and art is relatively small. Because Chen Tianliao has contracted both of these jobs, in order to save expenses, Chen Tianliao asked Zhuchuan to recruit young people with great potential to come in, and work while exercising, and also reduce salary expenses. Chen Tianliao's arrival this time, in addition to expressing his gratitude to the program department, the most important thing is to train the personnel of the planning and art departments. In addition, if his memory is correct, the game industry in his previous life has come up with the concept of game engines in the past few years, which has triggered a leap forward in the game industry. This time, he also wants to put forward this concept in the process of developing Pokemon to provide more convenience for later game development.
The game company rented a small building on the outskirts of Edo as the company's location, roughly the size of Chen Tianliao's record company in the capital. As soon as Chen Tianliao arrived at the company, he convened all the employees for a short meeting.
"I think most of you here are meeting me for the first time, your boss. Chen Tianliao said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'm not a very competent boss, every time I throw you a bunch of plans and art designs, and then let you realize the whole game." I think the only thing I can give a good impression to everyone here is to arrange such a beautiful operator!" After speaking, Chen Tianliao looked at Zhuchuan with a smile, and the employees present also laughed.
Chen Tianliao continued: "But it doesn't matter, because I will do the second thing that makes you feel good." Because the success of both games is due to the hard work of all of you, I decided to take 10% of Bomberman's net profits as a bonus for all the developers this time. I hope you can work harder!"
The scene immediately burst into cheers.
When the cheers subsided, Chen Tianliao said: "I will stay in the country for a long time this time, and I will work here most of the time, so I still have a lot of time to deal with everyone." Now my main task is to get acquainted with the situation here. In addition, please work hard for the development of the new game, please!" After speaking, Chen Tianliao bowed very respectfully. There was warm applause at the scene.
After the short meeting, Chen Tianliao met with the heads or temporary heads of several departments, each of whom offered a few words of encouragement, and at the same time observed these people. I have to say that Takekawa's management ability is very strong, and the people in charge of the arrangement are all qualified, and from the perspective of their salary levels, most of them are worth the money. Chen Tianliao was also very satisfied.
After finishing this, Chen Tianliao chatted with Chen Mei and Zhuchuan in the office. Zhuchuan very thoughtfully prepared a pair of high-end kung fu tea sets for Chen Tianliao's office. Chen Tianliao immediately recalled the past when he made tea and bragged all day long with his friends in Yangcheng in his previous life, so he began to boil water and make tea.
Chen Mei watched Chen Tianliao set up the tea set, picked up the freshly boiled boiling water, and thought that he was going to make tea, so he picked up the tea canister. Chen Tianliao smiled: "Don't take it, you just watch, everything is up to me." With that, he poured boiling water on the tea set and began to clean it, even the clay peeing doll on the tea tray.
Chen Mei was dumbfounded: "Isn't this all clean, can you wash it again?"
Chen Tianliao said: "You don't understand this, do you? This is the procedure for drinking this tea." Whether you use it or not, you have to go through the program first. ”
Chen frowned: "What kind of procedure, it's so complicated!"
Chen Tianliao laughed and said: "This kind of tea set is kung fu, so it is called kung fu tea." This is the way of drinking tea in the Han Giang area of Yeongdong Province. ”
Chen Mei frowned and said: "The things of the Southern Barbarians, what is so poor and exquisite." ”
Chen Tianliao said: "If you want to talk about the Southern Barbarians, our Hakka people are also Southern Barbarians." Our ancestors moved from Lingdong Province when Huguang filled Xichuan, and people in the villages near our hometown still call our dialect Tulingdong. ”
Chen Mei immediately fell silent. This girl, who has always regarded herself as the eldest lady of the imperial city, did not dare to insult her ancestors.
Chen Tianliao ignored her anymore and just continued to complete the procedure of Kung Fu Tea. Chen Mei watched him make tea slowly, even if the tea was brewed, he didn't pour it into the teacup, but poured it into a container first, which made her feel impatient. Zhuchuan, on the other hand, leisurely watched Chen Tianliao's every move, as if he was enjoying an art performance.
Chen Tianliao finally poured tea for the teacups of the three of them, and said with a smile: "Come, let's wait for the guests while tasting fragrant tea." ”
Chen Mei pursed her lips, this product actually dropped in front of her! She picked up the tea, took a sip, her brows immediately wrinkled, and she just wanted to say that it was bitter, but she heard Zhuchuan say: "How is it, this good single fir tea, not bad, right?"
Chen Tianliao smacked his lips lightly and said, "Yes, I haven't drunk such authentic Lingdong single fir tea for a long time!"
Chen Mei immediately swallowed the complaint back into his stomach. In her eyes, Takekawa is the eldest lady who represents elegance, complaining about her tea, Chen Mei felt embarrassed, so he patiently tasted the taste of tea. Chen Tianliao paid attention to his sister-in-law's actions with his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
