Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu did not return to China together, Xia Qingyu was a week earlier than him.

The New Year is approaching, she first went to Huangpu to arrange the last work of the year, and she also has to participate in the end of the year, and have fun with the people.

And the first thing Ye Shenxi did after returning to the company was to gather a few people for a meeting first, and then talk about it after the dumpling.

That's how it was intended......

It's just that when I saw the dumplings at the door of the company, I felt that something was wrong, this guy was so fat, and he was about to become a ball.

The dumplings didn't forget their father, they rushed forward and hugged their thighs, wagged their tails, turned over and lay on the ground to show their belly, and then circled around Ye Shenxi.

Chen Xiaofan behind him was a little embarrassed, his eyes were a little evasive, and he was about to sneak back to the office of the personnel department.

"Chen Xiaofan, come here." Ye Shenxi stopped her in time, touched the belly of the dumplings with one hand, and made a gesture to her with the other hand.

"Mr. Ye......" Chen Xiaofan walked in front of Ye Shenxi with small steps behind his back.

"What's going on?" Ye Shenxi's tone was serious.

There is no need to find out, Chen Xiaofan himself knows what he is asking and whispers: "Dumplings steal and eat by yourself." ”

Let's shake the pot first.

Ye Shenxi snorted: "I think you are almost the same as it, I'm afraid you don't take it to eat supper every day." ”

Chen Xiaofan is not a thin girl, and there is some baby fat, now it's okay, the size of 160 is estimated to be about 120 pounds, fat and fat, this is still a thick winter dress, if it is summer, it will be even more impossible to hide a little fat.

"Why didn't you see it in the video before? How did you get it? ”

When Xia Qingyu was in the United States, he also made video calls with Chen Xiaofan from time to time, and the camera was still reimbursed by the company, although there was not much money. Naturally, I didn't talk to her, or I just wanted to meet dumplings, emphasizing Chen Xiaofan's status as a wet nurse, and she was her own mother.

The last video was two weeks ago, Ye Shenxi also participated, and I didn't see that the dumplings were now fat like this.

"I opened the video to slim down the effect...... Chen Xiaofan whispered like a bag.

"Is there a beauty camera now?"

"It's just a piece of software, and after opening it, the video will look thinner and the skin will be whiter......

"You're really scheming, you can also beautify the dog." Ye Shenxi didn't know how to say that she was okay.

Although there is no such thing as beautification, it is also called picture quality enhancement, magic camera and the like, but Ye Shenxi naturally knows it.

Chen Xiaofan lowered his head and stopped talking.

She has long stopped doing things at the front desk, Ye Shenxi was his personal assistant when she was in Funan, contacting the media, or other manufacturers, booking air tickets on business trips, meeting arrangements, etc., but there is not much such work.

It also helps to outreach some social activities with other companies, and undertakes leaders at all levels or some universities to visit the company.

The most important thing is to raise a dog, and as a result, I don't know whether to say that she overfulfilled her work or was passive and slacking off.

"Forget it, you go down, find Cao Ruoruo, Li Zhi, Shan Jie, Tan Xun and Yang Shu to have a meeting in the small conference room immediately." Ye Shenxi waved his hand.

Chen Xiaofan was relieved, and quickly bowed: "Immediately?" ”

"Right now."

"Good!" Chen Xiaofan turned his head and ran.

"Wait a minute."

"Huh? Is there anything else, Mr. Ye. ”

"Before the Chinese New Year, you make a weight loss plan by yourself, and after the New Year, you take dumplings to lose weight." Ye Shenxi looked at the dumplings lying on the ground again, they were really like a white ball, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Huh? What a plan......"

"Do you want me to think about the format? Haven't you made some schedules yourself? I want to see concrete, feasible solutions that have expected results. ”

"Oh......"

Chen Xiaofan hung his head and called people to go, Ye Shenxi touched the dumplings with an innocent face, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

After opening the overseas market, especially in the early stage of market construction, both of them stayed abroad for a long time and couldn't move, and they really hadn't seen dumplings for a while.

made up his mind that he couldn't let Chen Xiaofan bring dumplings alone in the future...... At least I can't take it alone for so long.

……

In the small conference room of the Funan headquarters of the herring network, on the small oval table, five people sat in a circle.

Maybe it's because I just saw the dumplings, or maybe it's too thick, and now Ye Shenxi always feels like watching everyone get fat.

"If you don't have overtime, you might as well go to the gym and work out."

I haven't seen each other for a long time, and just such a sentence seems to have brought several people closer together.

"I just got a card last month." Li Zhi said with a smile.

At least on the surface, it looks like it's out of the gloom.

Ye Shenxi glanced at Cao Ruoruo next to him again, and the expressions of the two of them couldn't see anything.

"The gym in the plaza next door?" Ye Shenxi had a little impression, he had received flyers when he passed by before, the scale was quite large, mainly for the middle- and high-income people in the office buildings nearby, and the personal trainers invited were also complete with various award certificates, and some foreign male and female muscle coaches had ......

Gyms and hairdressers, being fooled into getting a card or something, it's too normal.

"How long has it been?" Ye Shenxi asked.

"It's been a year."

"I guess you haven't been there much."

"That can't be, I'll go there once this month."

"Now it's the end of the month, I only go once, forget it, don't talk about this, the matter of fitness, just get your mind, isn't it?"

"Haha." Everyone knew that Ye Shenxi was joking.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ye, and Mr. Shan." Cao Ruoruo said: ""The Origin of All Things" is now famous overseas. ”

Cao Ruoruo's work number is 002, second only to Xia Qingyu's 001, it can be said that she is the first person Xia Qingyu recruited, and she has been watching how this company comes out of the fog of not being able to find a direction, and then rises rapidly, and now it has achieved fruitful results outside the country.

There is no doubt that the overall R&D level of China's game industry is weaker than that of the international game, but when it comes to art alone, this gap is not so obvious.

In fact, many large foreign companies have opened branches in China, and most of them also act as their own insourcing teams, producing art resources and program code. In addition to the planning and design, the headquarters will control the other modules, even if all the other modules are handed over to the Chinese branch to complete.

If there is a gap, many times it is not in professional skills, but in design ability.

Art also needs design, but many domestic companies tend to ignore this, in the context of the general "fast food" in China, efficiency has become particularly important, and most artists have actually become workers on the assembly line.

Even in some companies and teams, searching for resources on the web to make changes has become the subject of their work.

Since Ye Shenxi entered the Qingyu network, he required the art to also need to understand the game, for a long time before, Funan did not have its own test team, Ye Shenxi asked everyone to test by themselves, including art.

Knowing enough about the project is a prerequisite for design, otherwise it is unrealistic.

Under the leadership of Cao Ruoruo, the art team of Qingyu Network not only completes the tasks assigned by the plan, but also truly creates and designs with artistic themes on the basis of the planning plan.

This is why Ye Shenxi fell in love with Yang Shu at a glance.

In other words, the art team of Qingyu Network is currently more internationally competitive than planning and programming.

Shan Jie also smiled: "Recently, I have watched a lot of foreign media praise for "The Origin of Everything", and I have blushed a little when I see it. ”

Ye Shenxi also said: "Actually, I am too, so I didn't sneak back quickly." ”

Tan Xun asked, "We have set up a studio in the United States, who are they?" "Tan Xun is a technical freak and is more interested in foreign masters.

"They are all from some large companies, and they left their jobs or were poached by Mr. Xia for various reasons."

“EA？ Activision? Yubi? Villefort? Tan Xun's eyes lit up.

"Both."

"Tut-tut, I really want to meet for a while."

"It's all their own people, it's like a martial arts competition, do you want to live and die if you don't agree with each other?"

"Hey, I just want to communicate."

"With your chance, I guess in February or March, a Polish team will come over and give us some technical support."

"Huh? Poles? ”

"A team called CD Projekt red, and when the time comes, it may be their leader, Adam Badowski, who will come in person."

In fact, purely in terms of technology, Poland's stupid donkey is definitely not the strongest on the surface, and when "The Witcher" was released in September last year, it was really full of bugs, and then they have been updating and fixing, and there are still many bugs.

But at least it can educate and educate the people of Funan.

More importantly, Ye Shenxi hopes that their game development concepts can collide with Qingyu Network in contact and communicate with each other, and he himself has a lot of things he wants to discuss with others.

In the past, he used to do online games, which was the field he was most familiar with, and he could do many things by himself, even ahead of the ideas of this era.

The later "Survival" and "The Origin of Everything" were still essentially kitsch and lewd skills, relying on creativity to win, rather than real hardcore game development capabilities.

To put it bluntly, it's still non-mainstream.

Just like some film directors can make comedies or horror films, phenomenal cult movies can also make waves in the market. But let them make mainstream high-cost commercial blockbusters, they may also yearn for it, and investors also need courage.

And now, entering the next stage, both the company and him personally, want to prove themselves through works in the true traditional sense, and Ye Shenxi is not even sure that he has enough ability.

Especially a grand game world with an open nature.

Shan Jie understood the meaning and asked, "Mr. Ye, are you ready to do a new project?" ”

Ye Shenxi nodded and said: "The studio in North America has already started some preparations, it will be a relatively large project, and the manpower and material resources invested will be the largest since the establishment of the company." It is no longer the genre of "Survival" or "The Origin of Everything", ARPG works in the traditional sense. ”

Seeing that everyone looked like they couldn't wait to get to the bottom of it, Ye Shenxi raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, I still only have a rough framework, and many things haven't been thought out yet, so I'll arrange the next work first." ”

"Cao Ruoruo."

"Well, Mr. Ye, you say."

"The art department selects about 10 original paintings, mainly scenes, including you, Yang Shu, listen attentively, don't button your nails."

"Oh......" Yang Shu honestly put his hands back into his pockets.

Ye Shenxi continued: "After the beginning of the year, I am going to go out, maybe one to two months, and go out for a trip. ”

"Tourism?" Several people asked.

"Publicly-funded travel, but the task is not easy, planning to travel to more than 10 provinces across the country in one and a half to two months to conduct on-the-spot shooting."

"How many places are you going to run?" This is the first time she has encountered this kind of game team on-site shooting, and even heard of it for the first time.

"It's still uncertain, but there are a few places that definitely can't be run, the ones that best represent the rich landform and culture, the Jiangnan Water Town, and the Gusu Mountain Pond."

Yang Shu interjected: "Oh, this is the town!" ”

"Saiwai Desert, Longmen Grottoes, Emei Jinding, Three Mountains and Five Mountains, Loess High Slope, Bianzang Plateau, Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou, Bagui Landscape, Songshan Shaolin......" Ye Shenxi spit out so many in one breath.

There are also people here who complain about the name of the dish......

"The specific itinerary will be studied again."

Everyone looked at each other, Mr. Ye, do you want to play so big......

"Is it realistic historical subjects?" Cao Ruoruo asked a crucial question.

Ye Shenxi shook his head and said: "No, strictly speaking, it should be overhead, and it will integrate some modern elements, the times are different, and the aesthetics of the masses are also different." The significance of the on-site shooting is not to completely restore a real antiquity, but to create a more vivid, more detailed, and more convincing alternate world. ”

"If that's the case, it's not just about the scene."

"Of course, clothing, currency, living habits, entertainment venues, cultural customs, and even funerals and marriages all need to be studied, but these need to be planned and studied."

"Is it martial arts or immortality?" Yang Shu asked again.

"That's a good question, what is the difference between martial arts and Xianxia core?"

Ye Shenxi didn't really want them to answer: "In fact, the ideological core of the two is the same, the yearning for freedom and the rebellion against power are people's unwillingness and fantasy of the orderly world under dogma. In the martial arts world, it is the imperial court, it is the leader of the martial arts alliance, the six major schools, and the Xianxia world has been further strengthened, and it is a series of abstract and concrete things for heaven and earth and life. ”

"The core is chivalry, not martial arts or immortals."

Yang Shu said: "That's a good thing to say, but there must always be a set direction, the vehicle in the martial arts world is horseback riding, and the sword in the Xianxia world; Martial arts rely on flying pigeons to pass on books, and Xianxia relies on thousands of miles to transmit sounds; Martial arts rely on hunting to eat wild fruits, and Xianxia Xianlu elixir ......"

"In this way, you can think of it as a fairy world, but our story is in the human world."

Cao Ruoruo asked again: "Demons and monsters?" ”

"Yes."

"Heaven and earth?"

"Of course, this is ready-made equipment and skills."

"Lingxiao Treasure Palace? The world? ”

"It's over, we're going to create a power system that's as reasonable as possible, and we're going to destroy the world at every turn, and that's a show."
