On the subsequent journey, Zhang Lexing was no longer embarrassed to talk, and reluctantly flipped through the book for a while, but he couldn't read it at all, so he simply put down the seat and lay down to sleep. Except for a flight food that I don't know if I counted breakfast or dinner in the middle, Zhang Lexing spent the rest of the journey almost lying down until the plane came to the sky over Beijing.

"Dear passengers, your flight CA8889 from San Francisco to Beijing is about to land at Beijing Capital Airport, please return to your seat, fasten your seat belts, and retract the small partition in front of you......" The sweet voice of the flight attendant came from the on-board radio, and it didn't take long for the plane to slowly lower its altitude and get closer and closer to the airport.

……

After the plane stopped, Ma Guanghai took the luggage of the two from the luggage rack, and Zhang Lexing moved Chen Zishan's suitcase down, originally wanting to take the opportunity to shorten the distance, but Chen Zishan took the suitcase but didn't give Zhang Lexing any good face, only dropped a "thank you", and turned away.

Zhang Lexing looked at Chen Zishan's distant figure blankly, and felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. was melancholy, Zhang Lexing felt that someone was patted on the shoulder, and then Ma Guanghai's voice came: "Boss, let's go, if you don't leave again, the flight attendant will come to catch people." ”

Of course, this is just a joke, how can the flight attendant do such a rough job as driving people, but Zhang Lexing also knew that the plane was not a place to stay for a long time, so he took his suitcase and walked out with Ma Guanghai.

Due to the lack of checked luggage, after getting off the plane, Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai went out directly through the terminal. He didn't go far before he saw Wang Mengyao standing with a man holding a sign with the words "Creative Workshop" written on it, and the black Mercedes-Benz 400E parked behind them.

Seeing Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai coming over, Wang Mengyao waved her hand and shouted happily: "Boss, this way!"

Zhang Lexing also waved his hand and walked a few steps in front of them, only then did he notice that the man next to Wang Mengyao was very unfamiliar, so he asked, "Wang Mengyao, who is this next to him?"

"Hello boss, I am the new assistant general manager of the company, named Li Chunlin, please give me more guidance in the future. ”

"Oh. Zhang Lexing nodded and looked at Li Chunlin, he looked about twenty-seven or eight, with a public face, and he felt quite ordinary.

Wang Mengyao came over at this time and whispered: "Boss, I will be the assistant to the chairman in the future, and there is anything you can ask me to do as before." Li Chunlin was recruited by Sister Chu Jing recently, and it is said that his ability is not bad. Sister Chu Jing plans to arrange for him to be an assistant first, and if you are satisfied, the candidate for general manager can consider him, so that you can also share more work. ”

Zhang Lexing nodded again, the general manager really needs to find one, running around by himself, how can he have so much time to manage the company, of course it would be good to have someone to help.

"Boss, let's get in the car first. Wang Mengyao greeted, and after speaking, she stretched out her hand and wanted to help Zhang Lexing with her luggage.

"No, I'll do it myself. Zhang Lexing waved his hand and dragged his suitcase towards the Mercedes-Benz.

After everyone got into the car and sat down, the driver Xiao Chen started the Mercedes-Benz and turned around and drove outside the airport. When the car turned around, Zhang Lexing's eyes swept out the window and saw that there was someone who seemed to be the vice president of the video game machine branch Zhao Haiguang who he had met last year, and he seemed to be waiting for someone.

……

Xiao Chen drove a Mercedes-Benz car along the airport expressway that was completed and opened to traffic last year to the city, and Wang Mengyao, who was sitting next to Zhang Lexing, took out a document and handed it over: "Boss, this is the company's financial report last year, Sister Chu Jing said that you explained it before you left, so I will bring it to you to see." ”

Zhang Lexing took the folder, opened it and looked at it, this is a financial report of the creative workshop in 1993, the report reads: "...... From January to December 1993, the company's assets totaled 165.28 million yuan (RMB), a year-on-year increase of -3.1%, of which fixed assets were 48.6 million yuan and book cash was 116.68 million yuan...... The annual revenue was 0, and the annual expenses were 5.26 million, including 1.64 million operating expenses and 3.62 million game development expenses...... The company suffered a loss of 5.26 million for the year. ”

Purely from the analysis of the books, it can be said that it is very ugly, and it has lost more than 5 million yuan after being busy all year round, and if it were an ordinary small company, it is estimated that it would have closed down a long time ago. But Zhang Lexing doesn't care about these, anyway, after the two games are developed and officially listed, there should be income, if you are lucky, maybe you can make some money, of course, this must count on the overseas market, and it is not enough to rely on the domestic market alone. At this time, in a big city like Beijing, the monthly salary of four or five hundred yuan is already considered high, so you can imagine how good the purchasing power of games can be.

……

The Mercedes-Benz continued to drive on the road, but it didn't seem to be going to the company in the direction, seeing the question on Zhang Lexing's face, Wang Mengyao hurriedly explained: "Boss, Sister Chu Jing explained, you took the plane too hard, you don't have to go to the company today, go back and have a good rest first, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

Speaking of San Francisco time, it was actually midnight at this time, and if it weren't for Zhang Lexing's usual exercise, it is estimated that he would not have been able to open his eyes for a long time. Speaking of Wang Mengyao, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but feel a little tired, and it seemed that he still had to go back to rest first.

……

The next morning, Zhang Lexing pinched his fingers after breakfast, it seemed that the May period had passed, it seemed that Zhan Jun could take out the things for himself, I don't know what has changed in such a long time, thinking of this Zhang Lexing's heart is full of expectation and a little worried.

Rushing to the creative workshop, Zhang Lexing didn't bother to go to Chu Jing to learn about the company's recent situation, and went directly to the programming department to see what Zhan Jun and they had become.

Everyone in the programming department is busy, most of them are writing code in the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) window, and a few people's computer screens are showing game screens, maybe running tests, including Zhan Jun, whose computer screen shows the battle screen in the game, which seems to be very similar to what Zhang Lexing saw a few months ago, but the picture is more beautiful.

Zhang Lexing walked over lightly, patted Zhan Jun's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Zhan Jun, is this the latest "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"

Zhan Jun, who was concentrating on his work, was taken aback, and when he looked back, it turned out to be his boss, he quickly wanted to stand up, but was pressed back by Zhang Lexing.

"Don't get up, you sit and say. Zhang Lexing dragged a chair and sat down, intending to take a closer look.

Zhan Jun restarted the game program, then pointed to the screen and said: "Boss, you see this is the second version of the Demo, the operation method is the same as before, all the systems have been added, and it is basically a complete game." The main rest of the work is to redraw individual scenes, and fine-tune the monsters in the way in the scene to keep a reasonable level of difficulty, neither too difficult to cause too much frustration for the player, nor too simple to be boring, both of which are done by the art and planning departments, respectively. The main task left on the program's side is to debug and troubleshoot bugs in the game. ”

With the click of Zhan Jun's mouse, the company logo of the creative workshop flashed on the screen, and the screen dimmed, and then the busts of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er gradually appeared, and a few petals slowly fell, causing bursts of water waves. The scene cuts to the water, and under the shade of green trees, a small boat floats on the water. On top of the boat stood two men, a man and a woman, with the woman carrying a lantern-like object in her hand......

Zhang Lexing couldn't help but ask: "This is the opening animation? Why do these two people look like wood and don't move." ”

Zhan Jun's face flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "Boss, this is made with 3DStudio, in fact, we have also worked a lot, but the equipment here and our technical level can only make this effect for the time being." ”

Zhang Lexing couldn't help but be silent for a while, damn the technical blockade, the equipment couldn't be shipped in if it was bought. The effect of the cutscene in front of me can actually fool the past, and it can be regarded as a medium choice in this period, but in Zhang Lexing's eyes, it is really unbearable, and there is no way to see too many good things. Of course, Zhang Lexing also knows that what kind of movie-level picture he wants to make at this time is definitely to find a draw, even if it is rendered, it may be difficult to play it on the computer even 1 frame per second. But although the picture can't be too beautiful, at least the characters in it can't be pestled there like wood, so you have to move a few times. The Workshop can't count on cutscenes at the moment, and it seems that it will have to trouble the Oriental Shen Yun people again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing took out a business card that was the same as last time and handed it to Zhan Jun, and then said: "Zhan Jun, there is a company in Hong Kong that specializes in the production of computer CG, called Dongfang Shen Yun, and its technical strength is quite strong. Since the company's own cutscenes are not up to the mark, it is better to contract the cutscenes part of your project to them to redo it. ”

"Oriental Shen Yun?" Zhan Jun took the business card and looked at it, and asked the same question as Mike last time: "Boss, is the technical strength of this company good?"

"Of course, I've seen "Terminator 2", the liquid robot T-1000 in it is made by Industrial Light & Magic and Oriental Shen Yun, and that level is even if you want to get the effect of "Star Wars". ”

"But this budget ......" Zhan Jun thought of a new problem, the budget he made before the start of construction did not expect to outsource the cutscene part at all, and now that he does this, he will definitely overspend.

"I'll give you special approval for this part of the cutscene, don't worry, the key is that the game must be done well, and no details can be sloppy. ”

"Boss, we will definitely do it with our hearts. ”

As he was talking, Wang Mengyao's voice came from behind, "Boss, someone called you just now, saying that it was from the video game machine branch." ”

"Work hard, the future of the company is pinned on you. Zhang Lexing patted Zhan Jun on the shoulder, finally explained, and then got up and left.

Coming to the corridor, Zhang Lexing asked Wang Mengyao as he walked: "Who called just now?"

"It's Mr. Zhao, and I left a phone number, which I wrote down on the sticky note on your desk. Wang Mengyao replied.

"Video Game Console Branch, surnamed Zhao, that must be Zhao Haiguang, I don't know if he has anything to do with me? Zhang Lexing thought in his heart as he walked to his office.
