Chapter 11 When a decent gentleman walks into the beauty studio
"Alright, don't stay watching." Sister Bai waved her hand and beckoned, "Let's go, I'll take you up." ”
Led by Sister Bai, it was naturally unimpeded, and the card passed through the high-tech security system with a swipe of the card, and the two entered the building.
Sister Bai is tall, with a foot of 1.76 meters, and a pair of jade legs are straight and slender, although her figure is not plump, but she stands slim and has a very outstanding temperament.
It's just that Sister Bai is different from other girls, she always doesn't like to wear skirts or high heels when she goes to school, she always wears shirts and trousers, and her braids are simply tied behind her head, and she looks very shrewd and capable.
Today, of course, is no exception, Sister Bai is wearing a very slim women's suit, a pair of flat-soled blue small scalp shoes, long hair shawl, and only a light makeup on her face, looking like a strong woman.
Standing with Sister Bai, Li Ang, who was seven or eight meters tall, felt that he was a head shorter.
Bite.
The elevator doors opened.
The elevator space is surprisingly large and incredibly spacious, I saw Sister Bai take out a card and swipe it in a silver box next to the elevator, and an LCD screen above the box lit up, and a number appeared on it: 27, and a few other options, after Sister Bai pressed the number, the elevator began to rise.
"This ...... Isn't there a place to press the button in this elevator? Leon couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, it's all big companies here, how can anyone break in?" Sister Bai explained: "Each floor has a special identity card, and you will only arrive if you swipe the elevator." ”
"So, what if I order takeout? Down and get it? "Lonely men and widows are alone in a room, Li Ang is so nervous that he has nothing to say.
"We don't order takeout, it's unhygienic, and there is a special cafeteria in the building." Sister Bai said as a matter of course.
"Oh, that's it......" Leon sighed.
Bite.
The elevator arrived.
The elevator doors open to reveal a large blue and white front desk with a huge company logo painted on the wall behind it.
It was a long, slender white flower with a few pale green leaves underneath the flower. Underneath the logo is a line of delicate calligraphy: 葳蕤 Game Studio.
Both the company logo and the company name are very ancient, and they look very beautiful and elegant.
Seeing the elevator door open, a short-haired beauty at the front desk immediately stood up and bowed slightly: "Hello Sister Bai." ”
Then he looked at Leon with a curious gaze.
"Don't look at it, one of my college classmates came to visit." Sister Bai explained slightly: "Just call him Mr. Li." ”
The short-haired front desk beauty nodded and smiled at Li Ang: "Hello Mr. Li." ”
Leon nodded at her as well, and then looked around, the reception hall was surprisingly large, semi-encircling the entrances of the two elevators. There is also a row of sofas on the wall opposite the front desk, which seems to be used for visitors to rest and wait.
Seeing such a situation, Li Ang was puzzled and asked, "You have surrounded the elevators, so how can other companies go?" Are there any other elevators in the building? ”
Sister Bai smiled and explained: "There are no other elevators, and there are no other companies, and the entire 27th floor is our company." Okay, let's go. ”
Hearing Sister Bai's words, Li Ang swallowed his saliva: "Your studio is so big, this whole floor is bigger than our Tiansheng." ”
"Of course." Sister Bai raised her eyebrows: "You know my character, either you don't do it, or you have to do your best!" Moreover, it's nothing more than a floor, you know, I'm not short of money, there's no need to make a fuss. ”
Uh, well, I know you're rich and beautiful, it's hard to talk to you rich people.
As he spoke, the two also walked into the studio.
The studio is very large, and unlike Li Ang's Tiansheng company, there are no office cubicles here, and it is open.
Rows of custom long desks are sparsely placed with rows of computers, and rows of girls are sitting in front of the computers working.
Some of them were typing something on the keyboard, some were drawing with a tablet, some were discussing something intensely, and some were shaking their heads with headphones...... There are many different forms.
The environment in the studio is very good, because everyone's office space is very large, so there are a lot of decorations or small bits and pieces on the desk.
There are small flowers and grasses, there are puppet toys, there are photo frame figures, and there are snacks and drinks...... Some girls are eating while typing something on the computer, and some are simply holding a small shower and watering the potted plants on the table.
In addition to the open-plan office, there is also a professional and well-equipped recording studio, a large meeting room like a movie theater, a lounge with a variety of game consoles and puppets, as well as a refrigerator, coffee machine, juicer pantry, gym and other facilities.
It can be seen that in Sister Bai's studio, the working atmosphere of the employees is very relaxed, which is very different from the serious and serious style of Tiansheng Company.
The bigger difference is that this studio is full of girls! All of them are young and beautiful girls!
Along the way, Li Ang didn't even see the figure of a man!
Compared with the vast majority of the entire company like Tiansheng Company, only the art department and the general game company with a few women at the front desk, this is simply a man's paradise, and it is the ultimate ideal hometown in the hearts of all programmers!
Of course, if you can come in and work.
Moreover, after careful observation, Li Ang found that most of these girls had a pen tablet in their hands, and many of them were drawing something on it.
The pen tablet is the most commonly used computer hardware tool by artists, like a tablet, but there is no screen on it, only an electromagnetic induction area, and artists can use a special pressure pen to draw directly on it, and then make the painting appear on the computer.
Of course, it's not uncommon for someone to use a pen tablet in a game studio, but now there are too many people using a pen tablet in Sister Bai's studio! Leon's rough count shows that there are more than forty! That's far more than a game company needs!
So, Li Ang asked directly: "Sister Bai, why do you have so many artists in this studio?" ”
"Oh, that's right." Sister Bai replied: "Because our studio is mainly engaged in text adventure games. ”
"Text adventure? What kind of text adventure game? The American-style kind? Leon then asked.
"The Japanese-style kind." Sister Bai corrected.
Now Li Ang understands that the so-called Japanese-style text adventure game is a game type that relies entirely on excellent text and plot to move people on the basis of the original text adventure game, plus exquisite CG pictures and beautiful and moving dubbing, music, and sound effects.
For example, like those popular love development games in Fusang Country, players cultivate feelings with different beautiful girls through choices again and again, improve their favorability, and finally make their strategies, reach the ending, and see the exquisite CG at the end.
This kind of game is not known for its gameplay, but purely for its touching plot, which can be seen as reading a novel with illustrations and a choice of plot direction, which has its own unique charm. And now the genre is growing more and more, with a wide range of themes, in addition to love, detective, adventure, horror, business wars, etc., although it is niche, but there are also a group of staunch die-hard players.
In addition to the fascinating storyline, the most important thing about Japanese text adventure games is its CG images, which often contain thousands of CG images in a game. Although it doesn't take a lot of technical skill to make this kind of game, the requirements for the artist are very high, and excellent vertical art or CG will greatly increase the sales of the game.
Li Ang also understood why there were so many artists and so many girls in Sister Bai's studio.
Nowadays, the gender distribution in the IT industry is very uneven, and most of the programming apes are men, while the vast majority of the artists are girls. Among them, female programmers or male artists can be said to be rare, and they are really drought, drought, and waterlogging.
"How did you come up with the idea of making this type of game?" After a moment of silence, Leon asked.
"Hey, that's a long story...... Sister Bai shrugged her shoulders and explained: "I'm an only child, I was called back by my family as soon as I graduated, and I said something to let me learn to inherit the business, you also know mine, I have no interest in inheriting the business, I like to play games." But I can't do it, and I don't like games that are too intense, and by chance, I came across text adventure games, and I immediately liked ......"
Later, I was idle and bored, so I used Chengguang's development tools to make a few small text adventure games, posted them on the Internet, and the response was not bad. But you also know that Chengguang's company has become more and more ugly over the years, so it has launched an ordinary text adventure game development tool, which is not even a game engine, and wants to pass all the copyrights of all games made with this tool......"
"It's a joke! The old lady worked so hard to make, why does it need the copyright of the old lady? You also know my temper, I wanted to buy this Shabi company at that time! Sweep these Shabi vampires out of the way. But if you think about it, it's easy to buy, but isn't it cheaper to spend the money on these vampires? Maybe they'll knock it out. Of course, I could have initiated a hostile takeover, but if you think about it, why waste your time on this group of visionary idiots? ”
"So, I'm just starting my own stove and doing it myself! I don't need their little broken tool anymore, and I don't make a fuss, just do my best! After all, although there are many text adventure games on the orange light, they are all small productions, the game process is very short, and many of the game's materials are infringing, and they cannot be sold at the commodity level...... Then in the second half of last year, I flew to Fuso, after all, they have the most developed text adventure games there. Then I spent three months inspecting the top 10 text adventure game production companies in Fuso, and commissioned K Company, which has the strongest technical strength among them, to produce a game engine for a special text adventure game, and then returned to China to establish this studio. ”
Reluctantly suppressed the heart that was shaken by Sister Bai's domineering, Li Ang then asked, "Then what kind of game are you doing now?" ”
"That's right." Sister Bai explained: "After the last inspection and my analysis of the domestic market, I found that the text adventure games in Fusang are actually different from the text adventure games in China. Specifically, the target audience for the game is different! Their games are aimed at otaku, and the vast majority of the game themes launched are love, upbringing, fantasy, and even erotica. And our Huaguo, as far as those on Chengguang Network are concerned, the themes are palace fighting, ancient romance, modern romance, simulated cultivation, and even Tanmei themes, and the objects faced are women, that is, those otaku girls or rotten girls! ”
"Therefore, we are now making two text adventure games at the same time, an ancient palace fighting theme, called "Palace Fighting Warriors", which tells the story of a beautiful girl with a very high force value and a punch who can kill an elephant in ancient times, was selected as a show girl and entered the palace, and then fought in the harem. The other is a little more complicated, which is a campus superpower reasoning love theme. ”
"What is the campus superpower reasoning love theme?" Leon was stunned by the complex term.
Sister Bai patiently explained: "That's it, it's called "Yesterday You Don't Know", it tells such a story: In a world where everyone has superpowers, the heroine wakes up and comes to school, only to find that the male god she has been secretly in love with is not here today. And through the discussion of her classmates, the heroine knew that the male god committed suicide by jumping from the roof of the teaching building yesterday! But the heroine discovers that she doesn't have the slightest memory of yesterday, and all her memories of yesterday's whole day are gone! So, the heroine began to explore the secret of the death of the male god and her own amnesia on campus......"
The whole story is very long, even if it is as brief as possible, Sister Bai has been telling the story for most of the day.
"So...... Was it the heroine who killed the male god? Is it the male god who uses his abilities to erase the heroine's memory? After listening to the story, Leon opened his mouth wide and was speechless.
"Yes, but this is only one of the endings, if the heroine can make reasonable use of the principal's time rewind ability, she can still save the male god and achieve a perfect ending." Sister Bai nodded and confirmed.
You women's brains are so big, and your minds are so terrible!
While communicating with Sister Bai, Li Ang followed Sister Bai to walk through the entire studio and the entire 27th floor.
During this period, Li Ang saw more than 100 girls of all kinds, saw the girls' exquisite painting skills, saw the girls' magical brains, saw the girls arguing with each other, and saw the girls eating snacks and buckling their feet......
Although these girls are not all beautiful immortals, but without exception, all of them are very young, and their appearance is above the level line.
During the inspection, many girls cast their curious eyes on Li Ang, many of them were very bold and hot, and Li Ang's face was blushing and his heart was beating, but because Sister Bai was beside him, no one opened his mouth to ask or say something.
Moreover, Li Ang can officially confirm that there is indeed not a single man in this studio! This made him want to ask Sister Bai next to him, where did you recruit so many young and beautiful girls?
Of course, he didn't ask this question, but Sister Bai asked the question first: "Okay, you've seen the entire studio, what do you think?" ”
"That's great, and now the top game studios in China are just that, and your two games look very good, and they will definitely sell well after the release! It's just that you can't call it a studio at this scale, you can just call it a game company. Li Ang said truthfully.
"Would you be interested in staying and working?" Sister Bai laughed, revealing a deep dimple: "You can also see that we are all girls here, and our technical strength is very lacking." Although the game engine Fusang has been done well, but there are still some technical problems that need to be dealt with, you used to be a top student in the class, and I still trust the programming level, so it's better to stay, how much is your original salary, I'll add fifty percent to you, how about it? ”
Really? And this kind of good thing? You can't lie to me, right? If you work here, won't you be singing and singing every night? Wouldn't that be too hard......
After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Ang used his iron will to suppress all kinds of evil thoughts: "No, no, you are all girls, it is not suitable for me to work here as a big man, and besides, text adventure games are not the direction I want to make, I still want to go back and open my own independent game studio and make my own games." ”
"That's good, then I'm not reluctant." The smile on Sister Bai's face seemed to be even bigger: "However, I remember that your family is not rich, if you open a studio, is there a gap in funds?" You're welcome, I can help. ”
"No, no, I have savings, enough to start a studio." Li Ang decisively rejected Sister Bai's kindness.
I'm a big man, how can I use a woman's money!
"I'm almost done with the investigation, so I'm leaving, I'm sorry for you today." Looking at Sister Bai, who wanted to speak and stopped, in order to prevent her from saying anything to tempt herself, Li Ang hurriedly said.
"Okay, then I'll send you." Sister Bai didn't say much, and directly took Li Ang to the elevator entrance.
The two went down the elevator all the way, without saying a word, and came to the door of the Phoenix Building.
"Okay, Sister Bai, let's send it here." Li Ang pointed out the door: "I'm taking the subway over there." ”
"yes, okay." Sister Bai's voice was soft: "Then be careful on the road, goodbye." ”
"Goodbye."
Walking all the way out of the Phoenix Building and walking to the road outside the building, Li Ang reluctantly turned around.
He found that Sister Bai did not go upstairs, but was still standing at the door of the building, as if she was still looking at him.
Why didn't she go up? Do you want to go out later?
Just when Li Ang was puzzled, a white light appeared in his eyes!
A familiar white light!
Oops, here we go again!
It's on the road! You just can't wait......
Then, Leon didn't know anything.
