Chapter 44: Talking
Shen Xin held the document bag, the weight was not light, it should be one or two hundred pages, in other words, the text was almost more than 100,000 words.
The text of other games may be a little smaller, but galgame relies on dialogue, and there is definitely more text than that.
"That's not all, right?" Shen Xin asked.
"No, that's just the first part." Ji Yinxuan said.
"How many parts are there?" Shen Xin asked.
"Not too much. It has five parts and 680,000 words. There are also character settings in it. Ji Yinxuan said.
Shen Xin opened the file bag and took out the manuscript inside, which had been set into two volumes, one of which was only a few pages, which should be a character setting, and the other was very thick.
It was too dark now, so Shen Xin could only wait until he got home and read it carefully, so he casually put the text into the file bag.
"I have a question." Shen Xin put the file bag on the side, but his eyes were fixed on Ji Yinxuan.
"What?" Ji Yinxuan was puzzled.
"Your father is the chairman of a game company, so it shouldn't be difficult to ask him to find an illustrator, right? Anyway, in the end, the money you earn still falls into your hands. Shen Xin was puzzled.
If Ji Yinxuan is just an ordinary rich second generation, then she still said it to herself, but she is obviously not. Her father is the chairman of the game company, and there are countless resources at his disposal, so there is no need to look for him.
"It would be nice if I could make money." Ji Yinxuan leaned against the car door, her face showing fatigue, "If you want to make a best-selling game, you have to be affected by many factors. At the time of planning, the chosen game may have been popular at the time, but when it comes to release date, no one knows for sure what will happen. Even, the capital investment during the production period may not be able to pay back in the end. ”
"As for why you are invited, exclude those painters who have become famous, I know the person who is a good painter, it is you, and besides, those painters will not accept it, and after some make money, they will be paid."
Shen Xin scratched his head, thinking that Ji Yinxuan would say something like "optimistic about your character", "your painter conquered me" or something like that, but he didn't expect the reason to be so direct.
However, Ji Yinxuan did not deliberately say some hypocritical things because she wanted to invite him, which shows that she is a very real person.
"There's another reason why it's my game, not my dad's or anyone else's." Ji Yinxuan said this, her eyes suddenly brightened.
"Wait...... You're saying that it's your game, and the implication is that none of the people involved in this game are employees of your father's company? Shen Xin said in surprise.
"I am a program student, and my classmates in the department are also interested in making games, Xiao Su provided me with the script, and I have experience in making games, so I have a good understanding of the relevant process. You say, why should I go to someone else for help? Ji Yinxuan was still expressionless, but in the dark night, Shen Xin could see her confidence through his eyes.
"Ever since I was sensible, I dreamed of making a game that would be popular with players, so when I entered my freshman year, I made a pixel game and made some money. Now, I'm putting all that money into the new game.
"I know people say that my family is rich, and that's certainly true. But even so, all the expenses related to the game were earned by typing on the keyboard and programming. I desperately wanted to come out of the shadows of my parents and prove myself. ”
"But you also know that in the process of making games, there are a lot of places where money is suddenly used. I'm afraid the money you make is not enough. Shen Xin questioned.
"I know that even though I am a classmate, I want to pay my salary, I want to give them a place to live, I want to provide them with food, and I want money. But I'm not afraid. Ji Yinxuan said.
"Why? Because your father will support you? Shen Xin asked.
"If you accept his money, then that's his game."
Hearing this, Shen Xin became more and more curious about where Ji Yinxuan could get the extra money, but the next moment, she gave the answer.
"Pull sponsorship." Ji Yinxuan said.
"Pull sponsorship?" Shen Xin didn't expect this method.
"That's right. The title and ending of the game can be advertised, with Character 1 wearing brand A headphones, Character 2 using brand B stationery, and Character 3 moving towards brand C sneakers, not to mention clothes and fat ci. It's just that we need to wait until the samples come out and talk about it one by one. Ji Yinxuan said.
Product placement...... She could really think about it, I don't know if she learned it from her father, or if she already knew?
Shen Xin admired Ji Yinxuan a little, as a rich second generation, when she encountered difficulties, she didn't think about going to her parents, but trying to find a way to solve it herself, ordinary people would definitely not be able to do it.
The more shrewd Ji Yinxuan was, the more Shen Xin was puzzled by the quality of the text.
What does a script that can make Ji Yinxuan feel unconfident?
"That...... I'd like to ask about the script. Shen Xin diverted the topic.
Ji Yinxuan sighed, "Actually, the script is not very good. When I was working on a pixel game, I was thinking about what I might do next. Considering the factors of capital and technology, personnel, etc., galgame is a better choice.
"At that time, Xiao Su was still writing the "Book of Seven Sins", and after knowing my thoughts, he tried to transform and wrote a half-finished product, and I was not very satisfied after reading it, because the audience of galgame games is boys, and the game of love is king. Xiao Su chose to give up, and recently learned that she had sold this semi-finished product. Subsequently, this script was written. ”
Shen Xin felt speechless, this woman named Su Han was really messing around, and now the two works he is most familiar with have her shadow.
"Su Han is also really amazing, now just as far as I know, there are already three works made in different forms. Crime from Monthly Comic Future, Crumbling from Weekly Dreamer, and your game. Shen Xin sighed.
For authors, it is not difficult to write three scripts at the same time, and on Earth, there are also double and triple openings for web novel authors. Limited by energy, Shen Xin can only draw "Y's", unlimited other care.
"Well, Xiao Su's semi-finished product was sold to "Dreamer", which is "Crumbling", because the name was changed." Ji Yinxuan said suddenly.
Huh?
Only then did Shen Xin know that "Crumbling" turned out to be a semi-finished film. If so, the subsequent development of Crumbling is interesting.
Shen Xin suddenly became interested in "Crumbling".
"The quality of "Crumbling" is still quite good." Shen Xin knocked on the document bag twice.
Shen Xin is a little conflicted in his heart, the quality of the text in the paper bag is a bit like Schrödinger's cat, which may make people's eyes shine or it may make people's eyes dark.
According to the address provided by Shen Xin, the driver quickly sent Shen Xin outside his community.
After the car stopped, Shen Xin got out of the car, Ji Yinxuan asked the housekeeper to send Yang Bo home, and she followed behind Shen Xin.
"Huh? You're not coming home? Shen Xin asked.
"Well, I'm going to make sure if you'll promise me." Ji Yinxuan said seriously, "Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace." ”
