Chapter 48: It's messy

Once, when Gu Cheng earned the first 10 million in his life through the agency game, he thought: "Legend" was just a last resort when he was poor and white. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After he has money, a team and skills, he naturally can't continue to imitate the bewitching sluts of Ma Teng and others in another time and space, but should work hard to develop his own games.

What kind of poisoned milk powder crossfires and the like, it definitely can't appear in his game company. In the future, the games that are eligible for him to represent must at least be an epoch-making product like "World of Warcraft" - this is still considering that the stand-alone IP and adaptation rights of the classic series of Warcraft are in the hands of Blizzard, even if he wants to develop his own Warcraft-type games, he can't bypass the legal obstacles.

However, reality is always crueler than imagination. From the perspective of a down-to-earth, tech-savvy CEO, at the end of 2002, he didn't have the technical strength to do so.

After all, the country's game R&D strength has been seriously drained from careers because of the perennial disrespect for copyright. There are almost no first-class programmers, artists, and planners in China who aspire to make games. Even if Gu Cheng waved a lot of money and gathered all the best resources in China, he would not be able to build a game development team of sufficient quality in a short period of time.

There is nowhere to spend money, and freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

From the perspective of the company "Legendary Entertainment", everything Gu Cheng has done is much better than Chen Tianqiao's Shengda Network in the same period in history.

In the entire life cycle of Shengda Network, it has no technical research and development capabilities at all, and at best has only one data maintenance team. The previous upgrade patches of "Legend" were provided by WEMADE on the Dongyi side, which also led to the fact that WEMADE could use the division to repeatedly provoke trouble in that period of history.

Gu Cheng's "Legend Entertainment" has at least achieved "WEMADE has done a good job of the stand-alone version of the legend, and has carried out more than half of the online version porting, and then the Legend Entertainment side has completed the follow-up development and debugging tests, BUG modifications, and previous upgrades".

In other words, if the technical team under Gu Cheng is asked to complete an online game that has done a good job and only lacks the server-side architecture and network protocol part, the R&D strength is absolutely sufficient. They just lack experience in content development in the early stages.

Another particularly serious technical problem is that when the "legend" was first developed, there was no concept of 3D games in the world, and there was no professional physics engine company - even AGEIA, which was later known as a giant in the physics engine industry, was just established in May 2002.

At the abyss stage when the human online game industry has just begun to explore 3D applications, Gu Cheng's people don't know anything about 3D games or even just 3D engines.

All these unfavorable factors made him have to spend another year or two, half-learning and half-buying, making a few 3D games or pseudo-3D games to make a transition, and it is best to intervene in some games that are still in the semi-finished stage, directly participate in the development, and consolidate the Huaren's own 3D game research and development team, in order to embark on the road of thorough independent research and development.

Maybe it will take 03 years for all this to start, and 04 or even 05 years before a 3A-level masterpiece can be grasped.

Everything that involves the accumulation of technology must be taken step by step.

If money could solve all problems, real estate developers would have broken through the sky long ago.

……

"Miracle MU and Ragnarok RO are typical pseudo-3D games, although 3D materials and perspective rules are used, but the screen angle cannot be rotated or scaled steplessly. The amount of work for omnidirectional modeling can be omitted, and some of the displays can still be solved by mapping - the degree of help for technical accumulation is not as high as estimated. ”

"Angel online" is currently a pure 3D game in the true sense, the engine is very standardized, modeling, cleverly using a large number of Q version of polyhedron modeling, reducing the amount of physical calculation of the model, this idea in the early days of the emergence of 3D online games, is very conducive to the R&D team to go through the technical route, the company should pay more attention to ......"

After just a few hours of sleep, before 9 o'clock the next morning, Gu Cheng got up and worked again. I read all the graphics and texts on Cheerilee's computer and some of the leaked test videos, and then wrote down my own evaluation.

He still likes the accumulation of R&D strength brought by the game "Angel Online", although this game has not left a name in history, and he has not heard of it in later generations.

Compared with the three-dimensional realistic style of the picture, the characters, monsters, and set lines of the Q version are relatively rough. Therefore, the amount of physical calculation will be much less when the Q version of 3D modeling - friends who can't understand it technically, imagine the difference in the amount of work required to depict the dry girl buried in the dry girl state and the normal state, you can understand.

And "Miracle MU" and "Ragnarok RO" can make him impress in later generations - after all, until the late 2010s, when Gu Cheng was in elementary school, there were still browser games based on these two games in operation on the market.

After writing the handling opinions, I made a few more phone calls to my cousin, Lei Jun and others. Gu Cheng looked at the time, Guan Hu and the others should have already started work with the actors and crew members who had a play today, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten since he came back last night.

He put away his laptop and prepared to return it to Cheerilee, and then went to have a bite to eat, chatting and explaining some negotiation considerations.

Gu Cheng knew where the main actor's room was, so he didn't call again, but went directly to Jiang Xin's guest room with a big grin.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and soon someone came to open it. Gu Cheng saw at a glance a girl who was only wearing loose and long pajamas, but there was nothing to cover below her thighs.

A heat wave of air conditioning hit the house.

"It's only in November to turn on the air conditioner and sleep?

There was a whining sound in the bathroom, Jiang Xin didn't look back, and blurted out: "Wait a minute, she's washing and putting on makeup." ”

After that, he poured a glass of water for Gu Cheng and let Gu Cheng into the room. She sat back on the bed in a birdly position, and couldn't help but smile as she smiled.

However, Gu Cheng did not react, which made Jiang Xin, who wanted to talk to him, bored.

She sighed, "Why don't you ask me what's funny?"

Gu Cheng saw that Cheerilee had to be cleaned up for a while, and he was bored sitting left and right, so he asked very cooperatively, "What's so funny?"

"Eh, do you know that Dongyi girls have to put on several layers of makeup every day, even if they don't film and have nothing to do. Originally, I thought that we were already diligent as actors. ”

Jiang Xin said as he spoke, and couldn't help but laugh again at the thought of Cheerilee occupying the bathroom all morning. Tilt your head back and shake your hair naturally.

Only then did Gu Cheng notice that this guy was really without makeup.

He took a sip of water and turned his head away from Jiang Xin: "You are just occupied and not localized." ”

"Cut~ neither leaving the country nor participating in activities, who is impatient to toss themselves, believe it or not. Jiang Xin muttered and laughed at herself, as if she was very angry that Gu Cheng didn't believe her words.

Then she rolled her eyes, and suddenly threw out a very relieving provocation: "Hey, I heard Fei Fei say that day, you have always been a 'single dog', what's the matter? I don't believe you can't find a woman, it won't be GAY, right?"

"Poof-" Gu Cheng sprayed a mouthful of water on Jiang Xin's bed sheet and looked at her speechlessly, "You have always spoken so directly and gossips, it's hard to imagine how you got this far." I heard that you have been filming for 10 years. ”

Jiang Xin shrugged indifferently: "It's just because I'm like this, so it's only been 10 years to get to this point." You don't want to replace me or deduct my wages for a joke. ”

Gu Cheng didn't want to show that he was not generous, so he could only fight back verbally: "If you expect me to sleep with you, and then give you a better role next time, take this heart as soon as possible." Thinking like this, it is more reliable to switch directly to my company like Sister Sun or Xiaomi. ”

"Do you think of me as the person who sleeps with the director and changes roles?" The playful smile on Jiang Xin's face immediately retracted, as if he wanted to defend himself, and then gave up, "Forget it, you just don't know this circle, I don't care about you." I know that you are a good person, you are very righteous to your subordinates, and a while ago I bought Sister Sun the cover rights of Chen Xiaodong's songs, so that Sister Sun had the opportunity to release a record. ”

The thing mentioned by Jiang Xin refers to the fact that after Sun Sun Li signed Gu Cheng's company a while ago, there was a film contract to find Sun Li's original brokerage company, and it was also necessary to find a heroine to make a TV series, and the title of the film was "Jade Guanyin". Originally, if Sun Li didn't change jobs, that role would be very suitable for her, but since she changed jobs, she naturally had no play.

Gu Cheng didn't think much about it at the time, but his agency didn't commit any resources, and in order to show his strength and make it easier to control, he definitely had to think of some compensation measures to stabilize the hearts of the artists.

He remembered that in history, Sun Li seemed to have the opportunity to debut in the music industry with a theme song in "Jade Guanyin". Gu Cheng naturally spent a little money and bought the authorization of the song that was very suitable for Sun Li's cover, and then the company invested in Sun Lilu.

The original singer of the song is Xiangjiang singer Chen Xiaodong, an album two years ago, called "Happier Than Me".

And Gu Cheng was going to take this song and use it in Gongsun Lucao, played by Sun Li, when he finally committed suicide in order not to drag Yang Guo to snatch the Ruthless Pill.

With Sun Li's slightly neurotic and hyperthyroid image, coupled with the lyrics of "Please remember that you have to be happier than me, you are worthy of my cruelty to yourself", let Gongsun Lucao die in Yang Guo's arms, and the effect must be quite beautiful.

"Then in your eyes, what is this circle like?" Gu Cheng knew that Jiang Xin had no malicious intent, and he also knew that his words just now were a bit heavy, anyway, there was still time at the moment, and it was not a big deal to listen to the other party talk about the unspoken rules in the circle.

"The best people are content to be content and don't need to dive. The worst person doesn't need to dive. Only those who see a little hope and want to climb up need to dive - if you can't even see this bit of common sense, the girls in the circle will be tired of being ordinary friends with you in the future. ”
