Chapter 317: I looked at the house
After the meeting, Fu Xingan was still recording quickly in a small notebook, writing and drawing non-stop.
"What, don't know what to do with the new game?" Zhong Ming came to him and asked.
Fu Xingan raised his head and smiled: "How can it, I'm excited, it's the first time to do this kind of simulation game." It felt like a big challenge for the design team. ”
Zhong Ming nodded: "Well, indeed, this kind of game requires a very strong ability to plan and control the entire gameplay, otherwise it is easy to be played by players." In the near future, you can play more classic strategy games and find inspiration. ”
After so many game exercises, Fu Xing'an can basically be said to be in charge of Shimmer Studio.
Zhong Ming is constantly making new games, and the employees of Shimmer Studio and Tianji Studio are also growing.
Previously, Zhong Ming chose to start a business with Zhou Sen and Jiang Wanna and founded Shimmer Studio, including later recruitment, which was mainly based on recruiting young people, and he was optimistic about the potential of young people.
In the process of making the game, the people of the whole project were exposed to a lot of advanced design concepts, and when they encountered problems in the game, the design team repeatedly met and discussed, which also had a great role in promoting the designers.
That's why the game industry values "successful project experience" so much, because a successful project is not just about material income, it's more about the confirmation of a design concept: I'm sure that a certain direction is okay, a certain approach is in line with the market demand, and this experience can often continue to guide the development of the next game, which is the most valuable asset.
After the baptism of a series of large-scale games such as "Zodiac Guardian", "Resident Evil", and "Xuanjia Project", this group of backbone members of Shimmer Studio has become more and more reassuring to Zhong Ming.
……
Get off work, go home.
Every time he got off work, Zhong Ming remembered that he should take some time to get a driver's license.
It's just that he really can't spare time, and the important things have been one after another recently, and the controllers of "Star Tinder" and GS1 are in development recently, and there are still many things to be busy with.
But after all, now that I have money, I can take a taxi directly to and from work, and I don't have to crowd the bus every day like before.
Many people in the studio, as long as they have a driver's license, basically buy a car, and with the income of Shimmer Studio, there is no problem at all to buy a car.
On the contrary, Zhong Ming, the boss, is lagging behind.
When he returned home, Zhong Ming found that Wei Yong had returned, and then realized that today was the Friday at the end of the month.
"Teacher Zhong." Wei Yong greeted with a smile.
"Well, it's a holiday? Have you eaten? Zhong Ming asked as he changed his shoes.
Wei Yong nodded: "I've eaten it, and I ate it on the way back." Mr. Zhong, what is this big guy? ”
Wei Yong was of course referring to the GS1 engineering machine in the living room.
"This is a simulator of shooting games, you can play it and feel it. But...... You can only play for an hour, and you still have homework to write. Zhong Ming looked at the time and acquiesced to Wei Yong's ability to play until 8 o'clock.
"Hey, okay!"
Wei Yong was very happy, got into the GS1's engineering machine, and began to play "Xuanjia Project".
After living here in Zhong Ming for half a year, Wei Yong's mental outlook has improved a lot, and he is no longer the timid, nervous Internet addict teenager he was before.
Wei Yong usually lives in the school, and from the teacher's feedback, Wei Yong is very serious in his usual studies, although the foundation is not very good at the beginning, but he has slowly made up a lot in the past six months.
The experience in the Science and Technology Defense College gave Wei Yong a lot of stimulation, and the life here in Zhong Ming also gave Wei Yong a lot of stimulation.
Of course, the two stimuli are completely different.
Among the students of the Science and Technology Defense Major, Wei Yong has been brutally abused, he has fallen into confusion, self-doubt, and hatred of the world, but here in Zhong Ming, he has experienced the kindness and sincerity between people, and more importantly, he has clarified a way to pursue his life goals.
Before, Wei Yong didn't know anything about the game industry, but instinctively thought that games were fun, admired those star streamers and e-sports players, and had the illusion that he could be like them as long as he played games seriously.
Of course, it's more of an escape, an escape from boring learning, an escape from estranged parents, an escape from the whole world.
But getting along with Zhong Ming day and night made him see the life of a game maker, and his concept was completely changed.
It turns out that making a game is a very hard work and requires so much expertise. It's not just a matter of playing games hard to make a living, in fact, if you want to get into the gaming industry, you need to have enough knowledge first.
Therefore, after going through the matter of the Science and Technology Defense College, Wei Yong is no longer as confused as before, he hopes to become a person like Zhong Ming who can enter the game industry and truly make games his life's work, and the premise of all this is that he must first get good grades and go to a good university.
The problem of "addiction to the Internet", which Wei Yong's parents regarded as a flood beast, naturally disappeared after Wei Yong found his true goal.
Moreover, here in Zhong Ming, Wei Yong's horizons have become unprecedentedly broadened.
In the past, the games he came into contact with were basically online games, and a large part of them were kryptonite mobile games.
Starting from Zhong Ming's "Zodiac Guardian", Wei Yong began to come into contact with these artistic games, and after coming to Zhong Ming, Wei Yong also learned about those industry-leading game works through Zhong Ming, which changed Wei Yong's vision.
After playing this kind of game, Wei Yong's interest in the previous online games gradually faded.
These can be said to be the reasons for Wei Yong's change, he has found a purpose in life, and he will work his own without "electrotherapy".
An hour later, Wei Yong came out of GS1 with some reluctance.
It can be seen that he still wants to play, but Zhong Ming said that he can only play for an hour, and Wei Yong is still very obedient.
"The game is moving so fast." Wei Yong couldn't help but sigh.
Living here in Zhong Ming, Wei Yong has always been able to get in touch with the most cutting-edge and popular game trends now, so he naturally feels this way.
"There are still two months to take the college entrance examination, right?" Zhong Ming asked.
Wei Yong nodded: "Yes, July 15th." ”
"Come on, if you are admitted to Minnean University, we will be alumni."
Wei Yong scratched his head: "I'll work hard, Mr. Zhong, Ming'an University's score is quite high, and I really can't get in." ”
The college entrance examination in this world is still very different from Zhong Ming's previous life, first of all, the time is different. However, the difficulty of the college entrance examination in this world is much lower than that of Zhong Ming's previous life, because there are actually many ways for students in this world, and the number of university enrollment places is also more relative to the number of people.
Wei Yong's current results, if he works hard, he still has hope to be admitted to Ming'an University.
"If you are admitted to Ming'an University, I can allow you to help out in the Shimmer Studio in your spare time. Haven't you always been very interested in game making? You can also experience it when you go to college. Zhong Ming said.
Wei Yong's face was happy: "Really? That's great! ”
"The premise is that you have to be admitted to Ming'an University." Zhong Ming smiled.
"Okay, Mr. Zhong, I will work hard!" Wei Yong nodded hurriedly.
Wei Yong is indeed very interested in game production, he really wants to become a game designer like Zhong Ming, and now he is very happy to hear that as long as he can help at Shimmer Studio during college.
Wei Yong went back to his room to study.
In fact, Zhong Ming knew that Wei Yong wanted to enter the game industry, but he had always been cautious about it.
There are many teenagers who are addicted to the Internet because of their love for games, and they often love to "make games" or "play games", so they have a wrong expectation of game makers, e-sports professional players, and streamers, and they are likely not suitable for this industry.
Many people tend to equate game makers, professional players, and streamers who make a living from games with "playing games", which is actually very wrong.
So Zhong Ming's request to Wei Yong is to take a good university first, and you can try to get in touch with some game design things during college, if you are really sure that you plan to pursue the game industry as your life's work, and you are really good at making games, then it is no problem to join Shimmer Studio; On the other hand, if Wei Yong finds that he is not suitable for entering the game industry, then Zhong Ming will definitely encourage him to try other industries he likes.
Zhong Ming watched TV on the sofa for a while, and suddenly the bracelet rang, and when he saw it, it was the intermediary from before.
"Hello, Mr. Zhong! That's right, the high-end home you wanted to find last time is finally available, tomorrow Saturday, are you free, I'll take you to see it? ”
"Okay, you send me the information first." Zhong Ming said.
"No problem, send it to your bracelet right away."
A moment later, the agent sent a document, which was a set of loft rental information.
Popular business districts, prosperous surroundings, high-end communities, and very good decoration.
The key is that the scenery is good, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large balcony that allows you to see the nearby city park and the night view of the business district on the other side.
The floor height is very high, the area is also very large, the decoration seems to have been designed by a special person, very avant-garde and relatively warm.
The environment and decoration are the two most important points for Tang Ying, and this house is finally all satisfied.
Of course, it also has some problems with loft, such as it is used for commercial and residential purposes, and the rent is relatively high. However, after all, Tang Ying only rents and does not buy, and it is not bad for the money, so this house should be very suitable for Tang Ying.
Zhong Ming looked at it and felt that this house should be very suitable for Tang Ying's needs, so he sent the information directly to Tang Ying.
It didn't take long for Tang Ying to reply: "This house is good!" That's it. ”
“…… Don't, let's see tomorrow, don't worry. Zhong Ming was also a little speechless, but Tang Ying was simply looking at the panoramic photos on the APP and wanted to settle down, sure enough, he was not bad for money.
Then the two of them discussed it and decided to go and see the house on Saturday morning, and if it was okay, Tang Ying rented it for a while.
……
The next day, Zhong Ming and Tang Ying met with the agent in this house.
"The original owner was a female designer, and she renovated the whole house herself, but now she is going to the first district for work reasons, and the house is vacant. You two also saw that the decoration of this house is really good, the scenery is also good, it is very suitable for leisure or some literary and artistic creations here, so this price is ...... It's definitely a bit more expensive. ”
"This is the balcony, there are some flowers and plants, and the original owner has been taking care of them before, so you'd better help find it, or we can arrange someone to come and take care of it regularly."
"This is the master bedroom, which happens to have a large floor-to-ceiling window that lets in very good light. At night, you can see the bustling night view of the area, and during the day, you can see the nearby city park. ”
"There is also a work area on the second floor here, where the original owner has put a lot of books, and there is also a bar, so it's not bad to grind coffee by yourself or something."
"The living room is the most exciting, this groove on the ground is made by the designer himself, sealed with tempered glass, there are fish in it, and it is directly connected to the aquarium over there, and walking in the living room is like walking in the garden."
"The original owner prefers an empty living room, so there is a TV in the living room now, nothing else. Of course, if you want to put other things on the table, it's perfectly fine. ”
The professional quality of the agent is good, and the house is blown.
But what he said is indeed the truth, the original owner of this house is a designer, he spent a lot of money to decorate this house, and it is different from the standardized fine decoration outside, the various decoration styles in the room are very harmonious, making people feel very close to nature.
Of course, the price is also very expensive, and the rent is as high as 20,000 yuan per month.
"OK, let's rent it." Tang Ying directly took out the bracelet, signed the contract, and paid.
The intermediaries are all happy and blooming: "Beauty, you are so bright!" Okay, then I won't bother the two, you can come to me at any time if you need anything. ”
The intermediary left, and Tang Ying lay down on the sofa in the living room: "Comfortable!" ”
Zhong Ming sat on the sofa next to him, a little speechless: "You're a little too anxious, although this house is really good......"
"If you look at it, you will settle down, what is there to be in a hurry. I had my luggage brought in. ”
Tang Ying clicked a few times on the bracelet, her luggage had been packed and stored at the hotel front desk before leaving, and she could be sent by the staff as long as she paid a little freight.
The main reason is that Tang Ying didn't bring any luggage herself, just a change of clothes and some cosmetics, and the rest were bought after shopping in Ming'an City.
Zhong Ming also clicked a few times on the bracelet: "You can barely be regarded as a housewarming, give you a gift?" ”
"Huh? Yes, yes. Tang Ying nodded.
"It should be delivered by noon." Zhong Ming looked at the time.
"Okay, then I'll buy a wave of shopping now, and buy all the necessities of life." Tang Ying opened the bracelet and started online shopping.
