Chapter 212: A Long Way to Go (For the Lazy Little Spirit Wu Jiagen)
Zhong Ming pressed the microphone and said to the recording studio: "It's almost over, you can come out and take a break." β
Zhao Shanshan came out of the recording studio, still a little unfinished: "It's over?" Can I get the money? β
Zhong Ming smiled and said, "Take the money?" It's not over yet. Now it's just that your voice is up to par, and there's a lot of audio recordings to come, and at least a week to finish. β
Zhao Shanshan was furious at the time: "I knew you lied to me again!" Farewell, the old lady is no longer waiting! β
Zhong Ming smiled and took out a contract: "Sign this contract first, and I'll give you 10,000 yuan now." β
Zhao Shanshan looked at Zhong Ming suspiciously, and then at Yang Chengye.
"Mr. Yang, is what he said true?" Zhao Shanshan looked at Yang Chengye, and instantly became gentle and polite.
"Yes, this is a serious contract for our legal department, you can take a good look at it, if you sign it with a first-line voice actor, it is also this contract, and it won't cheat you." Yang Chengye wiped the sweat on his head, and said in his heart where did Mr. Zhong find such an eccentric girl.
Zhao Shanshan took the contract and flipped through it with a frown.
After turning the page for five minutes, I felt that I couldn't finish reading, so I simply found a chair and sat down, and began to read carefully page by page, word by word.
Zhong Ming was a little crying and laughing, this is the standard contract template, and it was not written by him, it was taken directly from the legal department of Zhihuan Technology, and there was no problem.
But Zhao Shanshan may have been deceived by him, and he didn't plan to let go of a loophole, so he picked out the words for fear that there would be some pit in it.
After reading it for a long time, I finally read the contract from beginning to end.
"Okay, I'm signed!"
Zhao Shanshan took the pen and signed the contract.
Zhong Ming took the contract, handed it to Yang Chengye, and then used the bracelet to transfer 10,000 yuan to Zhao Shanshan.
"Finally see the money back!" Zhao Shanshan held the bracelet and was excited.
Suddenly, she realized a problem: "What about my five hundred dollars!" β
Zhong Ming: "What five hundred yuan?" β
Zhao Shanshan's face changed instantly: "Five hundred yuan, you don't want to repay the debt!" β
"Shhhh Zhong Ming signaled, there were other people next to him.
Zhao Shanshan's face instantly darkened: "You ......"
Looking around, Yang Chengye and several staff members were all looking at the sky, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves.
However, these people are obviously also making rich associations, five hundred yuan......
Zhao Shanshan was so angry that he kicked over: "You! What nonsense are you talking about, pay it back quickly! β
Zhong Ming flashed sideways: "Don't move your hands and feet, I'll tell you." β
"Pay back!" Zhao Shanshan is even more angry, even if you cheat money, why do you want to tarnish my reputation!
Zhong Ming said to Yang Chengye: "Okay, that's it for today, tomorrow we will arrange for the official start of collecting sound sources, starting at 10 o'clock in the morning, and we will withdraw first." β
Zhong Ming pulled Zhao Shanshan out.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, do you want that 500?" Zhong Ming said seriously.
"Of course!" Zhao Shanshan was confident, "You cheated me out of my money, of course you have to give it to me!" β
Zhong Ming said: "Then you return all the money you deceived others before, and everyone who has deceived you knows it, right?" 300 per person, all of them are returned, and I will return the 500 to you. β
Zhao Shanshan was shocked: "Why! Then I'm losing blood! β
Zhong Ming said seriously: "You are like thunder when others cheat you out of your money, and you can be at ease if you cheat others?" Hurry up and pay back all the money, otherwise it will be planted in someone else's hands one day, and you won't have a place to cry. If you really don't have any money, I can lend you, but you are not allowed to cheat people in the future, do you hear? β
"Huh." Zhao Shan shimmered and pulled his long hair, "Then I'll go back and return all the money." I was quoted for the taxi fare, a total of 80! β
Zhong Mingle was happy, and he turned 80 again.
"Okay, 10,000 yuan is enough for you to spend for a while, go back and have a good rest, take care of your throat, come to collect sound sources at 10 am tomorrow, earn 50,000 yuan a week, where to find this kind of good thing." Zhong Ming comforted.
Zhao Shanshan pouted and left in a huff.
Looking at her back, Zhong Ming felt as if something was wrong.
Isn't this the peach blossom luck effect of helping others and enjoying dice?
Good peach blossom luck, I used it as a voice actor? This......
Zhong Ming suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the way he used the system?
β¦β¦
The next day, in the morning.
It's business as usual at Shimmer Studio, and it's all busy.
Zhong Ming just mentioned a few bugs, but there is nothing to do for the time being, and he is considering some modification details of "Ink and Smoke".
He was also worried about whether Zhao Shanshan would release the pigeons, so he specially asked Yang Chengye a few words, and heard that Zhao Shanshan went on time, and he was also collecting sound sources, everything was OK.
Moreover, yesterday Zhao Shanshan also sent a screenshot to Zhong Ming, saying that all the money had been returned.
Zhong Ming looked at it, this screenshot is the gift records of several games, and the fashions, gifts and the like that others gave her are all recorded on it.
Some gifts are not cheated, they are given by friends in the game, and those cheated are basically 300 yuan of things, Zhao Shanshan gave them back, and they were all screenshots.
said that it was a professional cyber fraud, but in fact, it didn't deceive a few people, there were only about a dozen people in total, probably not long after the first deception
Moreover, most people actually didn't plan to pursue this matter at all, and when they gave gifts, there were still a few people who wanted to beg Zhao Shanshan to come back and play games together, which was quite a bit of a stalker, and was decisively blocked by Zhao Shanshan for the second time.
However, in order to verify, Zhong Ming still decided to ask Zhou Sen sideways.
"Did you pay back the money from the online scam who lied to you before?"
Zhou Sen glanced at Zhong Ming in surprise: "How do you know, it's back!" β
"Oh, it's fine, guess." Zhong Ming snorted, since he returned it, he was relieved.
In fact, he could vaguely feel that Zhao Shanshan didn't seem to be short of money. But why be an online scammer, and only 300 without anyone?
β¦β¦ Presumably for fun?
I don't understand what these young people think.
Suddenly, Jiang Wanna said: "Hey, have you read the news, just saw this news, the world government officially passed the labor bill, strict restrictions on overtime, stipulating that the company should compensate for the death of overwork caused by long-term overtime, and many people are celebrating!" β
Zhou Sen said proudly: "Oh, it shouldn't be the credit of the "Overtime Dog Survival Manual"! β
Zhong Mingyile: "What do you think, what kind of game would we make if we were so awesome." β
Zhou Sen smiled hesitantly: "I know, that's what I said." β
The Labor Act certainly wasn't introduced because of a game, but the game "Work Dog Overtime Handbook" has had a little bit of an impact.
A topic, after discussion and fermentation, finally formed a hot topic, attracted attention, and finally passed the bill after discussion, which is a very long process, but it is undeniable that whether it is the widely circulated article or the widespread heated discussion caused by the "Working Dog Overtime Manual" in the player community, it has objectively promoted this matter.
β¦β¦
On the smart module, we have to wait for the completion of Zhao Shanshan's sound source acquisition, and then a series of debugging is required.
According to Yang Chengye, if this intelligent module is to be sold on a large scale, it will inevitably wait until the end of the year, and it may not be until after February.
Of course, around this time node in January, there may be a small sale to see user feedback.
Zhong Ming doesn't have to worry about this matter for the time being, after all, there are a lot of professionals on the side of Zhihuan Technology, and Zhong Ming doesn't need to do anything.
His focus now is on "Ink and Smoke", because in two days, the official competition of GGAC will be held, and then "Ink and Smoke" will appear in front of all the judges and the audience, and then it will be launched, which may be very busy during this time.
β¦β¦
Last test.
A few people in the studio ran "Ink and Smoke" from beginning to end, and they didn't find any more bugs when they ran around, so there should be no big problem.
Of course, there must be some small bugs that I didn't find, but that's not a big deal, I'll really wait for the future to find out, and then change it.
Zhou Sen also got through the game and said with emotion: "The current game has higher and higher requirements for players, and you have to practice good words to play." But then again, it's a bit difficult to play this game with a keyboard and mouse, and writing with a mouse is too anti-human. β
Zhong Ming smiled: "Originally, I didn't let you write with a mouse. For the average player, the writing stage is not necessary and can be skipped; Players who are really interested in calligraphy will be interested in this link. β
Brother Dahui said: "I feel that maybe the market response will not be as good as the "Working Dog Survival Manual". β
Zhong Ming nodded: "Of course, "Ink and Smoke" is to win awards, it can be said that it is a game and a work of art. But the artwork is inevitably high and low. We won the GGAC award a few years ago, and after a year we expanded the scale, and in the future, Shimmer Studio will not be unknown. β
"We have made three games now, "Latent Red Road" and "Working Dog Survival Manual" are both acclaimed and popular boutique indie games, "Ink and Smoke" can win the GGAC award, then the reputation of our studio will be initially played, and then whether it is recruiting people or releasing new games, all aspects will be much smoother."
"When is the final, this Saturday? Do you need me to come with you this time? Zhou Sen asked.
Zhong Ming said: "It's okay, you can go if you want, it doesn't matter if you don't go, anyway, the game has been made, and no one will ask technical questions anymore." β
"I just want to know, can I see Tang Ying this time?" Zhou Sen asked.
"If you want to see Tang Ying, I'll make an appointment by myself."
Zhou Sen: "...... Excuse me, go yourself. β
"Oh yes, let's think about it, if we change the office location after the year, where will we go. Also, if you want to recruit people, you need to recruit a few and what are the conditions. At that time, these trivial matters may be troublesome enough, so you have to think about them in advance. Zhong Ming said.
"I have to recruit a beautiful front desk girl to fill the faΓ§ade." Zhou Sen said.
"If you do an online game, you have to recruit two background programs. At the front desk, you can add one or two. And then specialized testing and customer service and the like, you also need two or three. Brother Dahui said.
Jiang Wanna thought for a while: "On the art side, it is recommended to recruit another original painting and an action, oh, a special interface UI is also needed." Four people should be almost enough. β
Zhong Ming nodded and recorded it a little.
"Recruit a dedicated financer, as well as personnel and assistants...... In this rough calculation, there are at least nearly twenty people. β
"There's a long way to go." Zhong Ming said with emotion.
