One of the requirements that Murong made when he talked to the personnel department before was that it was a spacious office.

According to Ye Shenxi's instructions, this department would have a separate office, so he naturally agreed, but after asking about the size, he felt that it was not right. Murong said at the time that it would take about 40 square meters.

The personnel were stunned, this is already a small set of one area, okay, as for so big? Mr. Ye's office is almost so big, this is to come directly to Mengquan to usurp the throne.

And Murong means that 40 square meters is still very reluctant, not to pretend to be people but to put things, there are a lot of things that need to be purchased.

Personnel immediately thought of the recording studios that appeared in various movies and TV series...... Synthesizers, glass windows, a soundproof recording studio in the window, a microphone in the middle, and a lyric book shelf, in which a singer wears a casual sweatshirt and headphones...... Then he sang two lines and said, "I'm sorry, the phlegm is stuck, do it all over again." ”

The brain replenishment ability of the herring network personnel is generally relatively good.

However, Mr. Ye's instructions are hardware, as long as it is needed for work, all of them will be met.

I can only grit my teeth and say that it is more difficult at present, the company is now too many, and the current solution is to rent the downstairs floor together, but when the company moves to a new herring science and technology park, there will be no problem, give you a big one, you can play volleyball in it now.

Murong expressed understanding.

However, the reality is not quite what people imagined.

……

At this time, Murong was communicating with Chen Xiaofan about the hardware that needed to be purchased, various sound cards, professional microphones, mixers, supporting screens and other equipment, naturally needless to say, and then there were others, Chen Xiaofan was shocked while remembering: "Ah, this is also going to be ah......" His eyes stared for a long time and did not come down normally.

Murong nodded and said, "I want to." ”

She put forward a lot of "weird" and even "weird" needs, some need to be bought, some are not, and they can be picked up directly on the street......

Chen Xiaofan asked: "What are these murder weapons for......?"

There are several knives, several swords, and red tassel guns on the list, which vary in size, hardness, and material.

Murong said: "Foley." ”

Chen Xiaofan looked confused and asked again: "What...... Foley, huh? ”

"It's the sound that simulates what you would do in a game."

Now that the audio team has been formed, the group's job is not just to make game soundtrack interludes, it's just a part, or even a small part of the sound in the game.

In most cases, there are other strange sounds during the game, such as the shouting of traffic on the street, the chirping of insects and frogs by the pond, the friction between the wheels of the carriage and the ground as the carriage passes by on the street, and the collision of swords during a fight...... Or some system-level player button sounds, save success prompts, etc., these things are the content that players are more exposed to.

This group is responsible for all possible sounds in the game.

Now that I've started to do it, I'm going to make a full set.

The solution of most domestic companies to solve the background music is outsourcing, and the whole piece is too obvious when you listen to it, and it is easy to distinguish whether there is plagiarism and infringement.

As for all kinds of sound effects, in fact, many of them are directly extracted from other games or movies, or they may be free materials downloaded from various online forums, or they can be bought directly on Dibao...... Overall, it's gray.

Even for some of the larger game companies with audio teams, foley is difficult to do on their own, cumbersome and cost-effective, and players don't care as much about the game graphics and don't have the details as easy to discern as well.

But it will really affect the performance of the game, enrich the real sound effect to better serve the game, make this virtual world more natural and believable, render the atmosphere, mobilize emotions, and help the game to express.

In terms of the difficulty of sound production, Project B of this Xianxia world view is so difficult that it is more difficult than those games with modern and contemporary themes......

All kinds of foley props in ancient times are not easy to find, it is relatively easy to have physical objects, if it is a sword qi, the sound effect of a skill, biubiubiu, chuachuachua, what should be used to make that sound, it is where Murong needs to use their imagination.

……

"So these are the sounds that are used to make the sword fights in the game?" Chen Xiaofan asked.

"Well, I don't know much about the content of the game now, and the specific needs haven't been given yet, so I can only purchase some that will definitely be used first. Well, add another bow, a bamboo bow, a bamboo bow for the bow arm, a buffalo horn for horns, and a cow tendon for the bowstring as much as possible...... If it's really difficult, you can also make raw cowhide. ”

Chen Xiaofan opened his eyes and exhaled: "The thread of cotton and linen is not good......

Murong: "Worst-case scenario...... Let's get alive. ”

Chen Xiaofan pointed to the small notebook in his hand again: "This gong is also used to make the sound of the gong, and this abacus is used to make the sound of the planning plate......

Murong replied: "Yes, beat the gongs and drums, by the way, and remember the drums as well...... Cowhide drums. ”

Chen Xiaofan remembered it in the notebook again: "But what are these tiles and lawns for...... Do tiles and grass have sounds? ”

Murong said: "Didn't you remember the cloth shoes before, you walked on different ground wearing cloth shoes, and the sound was different." The rustle of you climbing on the roof and stepping on the tiles and walking on the grass is different, and the audience can tell it. ”

This girl still uses "audience", and she has not yet adapted to the reality that she has entered a game company and is oriented to "players".

"Okay, I got it...... What else? You continue to ......"

"And a bag of sediment, some wheat straw and hay......"

"Okay, there's ...... more"

"There are many kinds of shoes, in addition to the cloth shoes mentioned above, there are also leather boots, clogs, and grass shoes."

"Oooh...... And ......?"

"Stir-fry pots, spatula, ceramic bowls, teacups...... Buy a few more sets, you may use them to fall. ”

"Shall I bring it from my house?"

"Okay. There are also bowls, flower pots. ”

Chen Xiaofan decided, if he can bring it from home and it is not expensive, then bring it himself...... Then apply for the subsidy...... That's a lot of stuff......

It is estimated that this office will become a garbage heap in the future...... And Murong also said that hundreds of groceries will be added according to the follow-up needs.

"Oh, by the way, don't you want musical instruments?" Isn't it supposed to be the instrument that is the focus? That's the audio group in Chen Xiaofan's mind.

"I have my own, and I will let people transport it to Funan."

"Oh......"

……

……

June is coming to an end soon, and this June is a milestone for the herring network.

Whether it's the announcement of a new project at E3 or the announcement of another World Cup in Eternal War, the impact is very far-reaching. The former is a sign of the rise of the company's and even China's local R&D forces, and the latter is the promotion of the esports ecosystem to the world, accelerating the maturity of this emerging market with a new model.

These two big moves have made this company in the limelight for a while.

Well, there is also the "2009 Q2 China Game Market Report" released by iXun.com, from the data level, at least the revenue shows that the new dominance of the country has embarked on a newcomer. The pattern of the Big Three, which continued from ancient times, has been broken, and a new chapter has been opened in China's game industry.

If it is said that from the perspective of player discussion, there may be only one other company that will be able to touch the ankle of the herring network, Shicheng.

But what happened to them may not be a good thing, and after a long tear, in this June, they finally lost Warcraft.

This event has been going on for a year now.

Since May last year, Chen Xiaowei, president of Shicheng, led a team to negotiate with glass slag, and there were rumors on the Internet that they failed to sign a contract and would lose the agency of "Warcraft".

It's just that before that, Huang Yi and glass slag have begun a series of operations, including Xiangjiang Huangyi Branch has become a joint venture between the two companies accounting for 50% each, Huang Yi won the agency of "Star Wars 2" in August last year, and later the glass slag new battle network was launched, and the operator was still Huang Yi.

But at that time, Chen Xiaowei still denied it, and in the face of the media, she still said that Shicheng would never lose "Warcraft". However, a week later, they removed Wrath of the Lich King's homepage.

Until April 16, Huang Yi officially announced that he would cooperate with the American company Glass Slag to operate its online game "Warcraft" for a period of three years.

On June 6th, Shicheng officially closed all servers of the national server "Warcraft", which is also the first time that the game has been suspended since it entered China.

When the suspicion dissipates, then more problems behind it come.

Players between companies and departments are relatively less concerned, and they are still most concerned about whether their rights and interests can be protected.

For example, what should players do with the accounts they have built over the years?

The rest of their game time, the point cards of Stone City that they bought, and the Huang Yi that has been activated can't pick it up? Is there no active stone city to retreat?

Those virtual accounts, the data under the accounts, whether they belong to their own private property, or the data in Shicheng or Huangyi databases.

……

At this time, many people remembered the battle for the operation rights of "Immortal Dao" between Qingyu Network and Huangpu Jinyou more than a year ago.

In the history of Chinese online games, it has happened from time to time that games have changed agents, but every time they appear, most of the time they will make the original players of the game suffer.

There are not many exceptions, and the herring network is one of them.

Warcraft has a huge number of players in China, with more than 1.3 million simultaneous online users and tens of millions of users, all of whom will be affected by this turmoil.

Only the Qingyu Network at that time promised to charge the ingots in the Jinyou game account, and the Qingyu Network still agreed.

They promised and did that at the time, even if most of the money still went into Jinyou's pocket, Qingyu Network still actively negotiated with the other party, and after reopening the service, it restored the data of the remaining ingots under all player accounts.

Huang Yi has not given a written solution so far, but only said that he is communicating and negotiating.

"Can it be like the herring network?"

"Can you learn from the herring fish network?"

The reopening of the game is still far away, but their customer service now receives a lot of questions every day, including when the service will be launched, when the expansion will be launched, and like this, can you learn from the Qingyu network.

Some questions they can answer, and some questions really can't give an accurate answer.

This matter is no longer up to their company to have the final say, it requires Shicheng's cooperation, as well as the understanding of glass slag, as well as the guidance of the Ministry of Culture and the General Administration of Press and Publication......

But when someone in a field takes the lead in doing something above the standard, it is normal for consumers to use it as a benchmark for other companies in the field.

Chinese gamers are beginning to feel that the rise of Qingyu Network has brought more impact to the industry than meets the surface of the game, activating new game types, tapping new users, broadening the market, or bringing the industry's understanding of user experience and raising the quality of games.

Just like the games they make now, they will inevitably have to compare with the products of herring.

The company's impact on China's gaming industry is much more profound and multifaceted.
