Chapter 144: The Highest Alert: Defending China

A group of people arrived at the new office building of the Creative Workshop, and several administrative staff who had been notified had already arrived downstairs to direct the moving company to transport the hauled items to a vacant office on the second floor. Because there are a lot of things brought from the Asian Games Village, and there are even several sets of computers and computer desks, the people of the moving company have moved up and down many times, in fact, the office building has a special freight elevator, but they think that the elevator is too troublesome to go up the second floor, and would rather move up the stairs by themselves. From time to time, people moved things upstairs, and it also attracted the attention of a few employees who were tired of work and walked out, and they gathered in the aisle on the second floor to talk to each other, and they were very gossipy about whether to set up a new game studio.

When the people in the moving company were still busy, Zhang Lexing had already summoned the project managers of the company to the conference room, and after everyone arrived, he first asked Luo Xunji to introduce the current situation of "Blood Lion" to everyone, and also showed the materials such as videos and pictures that could be called up to show everyone.

Zhang Lexing revisited the low-quality so-called titles and images and scene settings that are completely out of line with reality while introducing Luo Xunji, and couldn't help but be glad in his heart, fortunately, Shangyang Electronics has not "finished" "Blood Lion" yet, otherwise those game scenes that can no longer be called stupid would not make people vomit blood.

Like something completely disproportionate to the houses, two bases stacked on top of each other so-called tanks, like snails moving soldiers. As for the AI in the game, it is almost completely unnoticeable, and the soldiers are walking leisurely there even when they are attacked by the enemy at close range, even in the heat of the battlefield. What's worse is that those soldiers are simply those who don't listen to orders, if you don't keep an eye on the point all the time, and frequently issue orders to move or attack, then the soldiers probably don't know what to do, or in a daze, or lie on the ground to sleep, or want to chase their tail like a puppy in the same place, or even obviously there is no enemy in front of you, but just throw grenades in the open space, don't the original designers know that they can't be thrown around, even if they can't hit the children, it's not good to hit the flowers and plants。

After more than half an hour, Luo Xunji finally finished his introduction, Zhang Lexing looked at the project managers sitting at the round table in the conference room, and said: "You have listened to the introduction, it is obvious that the current completion of this game is very low, if you want to complete this game, do you have any good ideas?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and someone stood up and said, "If the quality of many materials in this game is not up to standard according to the company's standards, some ideas in planning can be retained, but I recommend that the program and art parts be restarted to ensure the quality of the game." ”

Zhang Lexing nodded, he originally planned to completely remake "Blood Lion", because the original designs were too bad, but just now on the way Wang Mengyao said a situation, due to the irresponsible market operation of the previous "Blood Lion" project provoked the expectations of players and sellers, after a bounce, Shangyang Electronics has faced a lot of market pressure, and many sellers also went to Shangyang Electronics' office to urge, which is also one of the reasons why Mr. Shen is willing to get rid of "Blood Lion". However, after the creative workshop took over the project, the pressure was naturally transferred from Shangyang Electronics immediately, so there was not much time left for the creative workshop.

"I would like to explain to you that "Blood Lion" was originally planned to be released on March 23, but the original project team found that it was completely impossible, and later postponed it to April 27. It was thought that it would be impossible for us to complete the remake of the game in such a short period of time. After Zhang Lexing finished speaking, his eyes turned to Zhan Jun, the head of the project manager.

Before Zhan Jun could speak, Zhao Yuanhuan stood up first: "Boss, this task is impossible to complete, there are about 80 people that the company can deploy at present, according to the company's previous production speed and quality requirements, if you remake a "Blood Lion", it will take at least 220 working days, that is, about ten months." ”

"It's still a little longer," Zhang Lexing shook his head, his eyes swept around the people at the round table, and said, "Let's think about it again, is there a better way to complete the task faster on the premise of ensuring the quality of the game." ”

Everyone lowered their heads and thought, and at this time, Zhu Jingyu, who had participated in the development of "Supreme Alert", stood up, cleared his throat and said: "I thought of a way, when developing "Supreme Alert", we used to develop an engine suitable for real-time strategy games, and I heard some planning about "Blood Lion" just now, although this engine may not be completely suitable for "Blood Lion" But I believe that it only needs to be modified and adjusted appropriately, so that the workload of the program part will be relatively reduced, and as long as the number of artists is appropriately increased, I think the time can be cut in half. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and some people even stood up and retorted: "Even if it can really be shortened by half, it will take at least five months, and it will not be completed before April 27th." ”

Zhang Lexing was also thinking about it just now.,If the game goes on sale on April 27th, the time is really too tight.,Even if it's barely completed.,The game made is estimated to be only slightly stronger than "Blood Lion".,It's definitely not up to the creative workshop's consistent game quality standards.,It seems that it's the right way to find a way to buy more time.。

Everyone was still arguing there, Zhang Lexing turned his head and whispered to Wang Mengyao who was sitting next to him: "Mengyao, you contact Fengyun Interactive, the development time left for the remake of "Blood Lion" is too short, and they need their help to fight for more." You ask Chen Jingyi to arrange more communication with the original distributor who has already booked "Blood Lion", try to win the understanding of the distributor, and at least postpone the release date of the game until late July. ”

"Ok boss, I'll get in touch now. After speaking, Wang Mengyao took out a mobile phone from her purse, got up and walked outside the conference room, and made a call.

Zhang Lexing sat in the conference room and listened to everyone's arguments for a while, and found that after arguing for so long, Zhu Jingyu's proposal was the most reliable and required the shortest development time, so he knocked on the table with his hand, and everyone's voices suddenly became quieter.

"Okay, I know everyone's opinions, but the main task at present is to find a way to complete the development of the remake of "Blood Lion" as soon as possible, since Zhu Jingyu thinks that he has a way to complete the development in about five months, then this task will be entrusted to him, the development cycle is preliminarily determined to be five months, and the project name is "Supreme Alert: Defending China". Zhao Yuanhuan is in charge of manual scheduling, and submits the list of members of the project team before getting off work tomorrow, so that the project team can start work as soon as possible. In addition, the producer of this game is Zhan Junlai. Saying that, Zhang Lexing looked at the people sitting at the round table again: "Well, if everyone has no objections, then it will be arranged like this, and the meeting will be dismissed!"

After speaking, Zhang Lexing got up and walked outside the conference room first, he still trusts these developers in the creative workshop, as long as the tasks are assigned, they can generally be completed on time, of course, it is understandable to occasionally jump tickets.

Walking outside the conference room, Wang Mengyao greeted him and said, "Boss, the matter has been done, I have already arranged for someone to send the list of "Blood Lion" dealers, and Fengyun Interactive will start contacting as soon as they get it." ”

Zhang Lexing nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you pay attention to this matter, and report to me in time if there is any situation." ”

"Okay boss!" Wang Mengyao replied with a slight bow.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Jingyi, who had already obtained the list of dealers of "Blood Lion", started to act. She divided the dealers in the list into two categories, one is the dealers who have been included in the channel management of Fengyun Interactive, and the other is the dealers outside the channel. The dealers in the channel are very talkative, and often as long as Qin Wencai, the sales manager, makes a phone call, and immediately negotiates the postponement of the listing of "Supreme Alert: Defending China" ("Blood Lion" Remake), and the past achievements of Fengyun Interactive and Creative Workshop have conquered these dealers.

Dealers outside the channel are more troublesome, and many people admit a dead reason, that is, "since I have paid the reservation money and received the user's advance payment, the game must be launched on time". Fortunately, Chen Jingyi and others have a plan for this, and immediately came up with two plans for dealers to choose, one is to accept the postponement of the listing of "Supreme Alert: Defending China" to late July, and assist Fengyun Interactive to do a good job in explaining the user's work, which will be included in the channel system of Fengyun Interactive and can enjoy the corresponding preferential policies. The other is unwilling to wait until late July, so Fengyun Interactive will provide it with a game that will be released in April to replace the original "Blood Lion".

As soon as the two plans came out, the dealers were quiet and no longer noisy. In the end, the vast majority of dealers still chose the first plan, and many people have heard of the name of Fengyun Interactive, and the sales record of more than 120,000 units set by "Supreme Alert" and "Legend of Blackstone" last year has stimulated the nerves of many people. Many dealers just haven't had the opportunity to interact with Fengyun, since there is such a good opportunity now, of course, they will not let it go. Many dealers are thinking about it, and then this opportunity to pull a relationship with Fengyun interaction, then the future of good-selling games is not rolling in, and their own stores can definitely become the "first brother" of the local software market.

The dealers here were appeased, and the creative workshop side, the "Supreme Alert: Defending China" development team led by Zhu Jingyu was also formed, the programmers began to modify the game engine, the planners reorganized the planning book of "Blood Lion", and the artists began to redraw the game scenes, tanks and soldiers in "Blood Lion", and even the title was sent to Hong Kong, ready to make a more exciting re-making according to the artistic conception of the game. "Blood Lion", which is not even a semi-finished product, has gradually become "Supreme Alert: Defending China" with the efforts of everyone.

At the end of February, Cheung and Chan returned to Hong Kong from Beijing, where Chan continued to work on the interior of her biological research institute, while Cheung returned to Oriental Holdings' office building in Wan Chai to deal with the work left over from this period. Although Zhang Lexing left Beijing, before leaving, he still told Zhan Jun to send the development progress of "Supreme Alert: Defending China" by email every day, so that he could also know in time what "Blood Lion" would become. As time passed, Zhang Lexing also felt the changes in "Blood Lion" day by day, and it gradually became more like a game.

One day in mid-March, Zhang Lexing was staying in his office as usual looking at the email sent by Zhan Jun, when suddenly Zhao Jaw came in a panic, and just entered the door before he could even breathe, he hurriedly said: "Boss, the integrated motherboard of the Microelectronics Research Institute has been successfully developed!"
