Chapter 2: The pit left by Lao Liu

The next day, Pei Qian came to join the company.

Trivia, the company's legal representative can also go to other companies to apply or find a job.

After signing the contract, Chen Yu happily took Pei Qian around the company, and proudly introduced Pei Qian's identity as "Pei Zong's stuntman" to everyone.

It triggered the unanimous onlookers of the whole company and took a group photo.

Pei Qian sighed silently, but fortunately, he was quite accustomed to this.

After finally tossing and turning, I finally came to the conference room to discuss the game.

Pei Qian almost habitually sat in the main seat again, but this time Chen Yu arrived first, so he sat in the seat on Chen Yu's left hand side and didn't make any trouble.

Chen Yu first told Pei Qian about the current situation of their company.

"That's right, our Dream Inception Games is a startup company that has just been established for half a year, and we are currently developing a game called Nightmare Journey.

"The content of the game is very simple, in fact, the original inspiration was the fear of being alone at home when I was a kid and always felt that there were some scary monsters in the room.

"But we didn't want to make a particularly scary game, we just wanted to make a fantasy game with a bit of horror elements, and it reflected the 'ninth art' of the game as much as possible.

"The general content of the game is that a foreign child lives in a villa by the sea, and one day his parents are asleep, but the child can't sleep at all, so he looks at the shadows and starts to fantasize.

He fantasizes about himself becoming a variety of different animals, exploring the entire nook and cranny of the villa, defeating all kinds of creatures that hide in the shadows......

Eventually, he managed to escape and slept peacefully.

"The content of the period is mainly to show all kinds of imaginative and bizarre pictures from the perspective of children, which is considered ...... It's more of an artistic game. ”

Pei Qian nodded: "Sounds good?" So what exactly is the problem? ”

From this point of view alone, it's still quite interesting, and if it can be made to the letter, it should be liked by many players.

If you're lucky, you might even get a prize.

Chen Yu sighed silently: "If you really do it, you will find that everything is a problem!"

"First of all, our art level is too poor, and we can't make the kind of scene that combines the three styles of realism, suspense, and fantasy. The artistic conception is wrong, how can it be in vain.

"The second is that our imagination is not enough, and we can't imagine what kind of monsters and enemies this child will encounter in his exploration, and what kind of scenes he will encounter.

"I finally came up with a few of them, but after I made them, I felt that the effect was very poor, and they all died.

"Finally...... Now I find that the funds are a bit insufficient. ”

He paused slightly: "Speaking of which, this is still the hole left by the previous masterplan.

"At that time, I was also looking for a master planner, and then a very senior designer came. He said that he used to work as the chief planner of Yinyang Games, and he also cooperated with Huang Sibo, Ye Zhizhou and other bigwigs.

"As soon as I heard it, this is a real cow! So I was relieved to hand over the whole project to him.

As a result, he messed up, and the whole project became even more chaotic, and a lot of inexplicable functions were planned. I saw that something was wrong and hurriedly asked him to stop, but after this period of tossing, a lot of funds were wasted.

"So...... Only then did he re-recruit the master to plan and see if he could plug this hole. ”

Pei Qian's brows furrowed slightly, with a black question mark face.

Yes?

Has the main planner of the Yang game been here? Who is it?

Chen Yu also seemed to realize this instantly, and asked, "By the way, you also worked in Tengda, do you know this person?" His surname is Liu. ”

Pei Qian was stunned for two seconds, and then almost slapped his thigh and stood up.

Oh!!

Isn't that Lao Liu?

Isn't that 100% Lao Liu who passed by himself!

In fact, Pei Qian also came back to his senses later, and the only core asset of the entire Yang game is Lao Liu! When Tengda recruited for the first time, the talent who could make him lose money the most was Lao Liu!

It's a pity that every time I miss Lao Liu, I miss it by mistake.

Either he didn't recruit him because of the recruitment eye, or he ran away before acquiring the company.

Unexpectedly, I met it again here.

In fact, if you take a closer look, Lao Liu really didn't lie.

He did work as the main planner in Yang Games, and he did work with Huang Sibo and others.

It's just that it was all before Pei Qian acquired Yinyang Games, and it was not the same thing as the Yanyang Games that stood up with Tengda's game department and Chixing Studio in the future.

It's a mess.

Chen Yu rubbed his hands a little embarrassed: "Then look at this situation, can you still save it?" ”

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Yes." But...... I can't guarantee making money, I can only guarantee that the company will survive. ”

Chen Yu was a little puzzled, isn't this the same thing?

Only when you make money can the company survive! On the contrary, since the company is alive, it must have made money!

Pei Qian is in his heart, you don't know anything about "living"!

It doesn't matter if the game loses money, because Pei Qian has already determined at this time that this Chen Yu is still a good boss and producer. When the time comes, he will directly let Dream Venture Capital and Poor Road Plan invest money in him and continue to do it.

Moreover, since this group of people are helpless, there is no psychological burden to let go of the operation by yourself.

Chen Yu asked, "Then, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Looking at the gazes cast around the conference table, Pei Qian inexplicably had a sense of familiarity.

Familiar with the road!

In this case, let's show them a path to the underworld according to Pei's design method. Anyway, it's a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and it really cools this game, so let Dream Venture Invest in the horse.

After all, he is not good at designing to make money.

Pei Qian sorted out his thoughts and said indifferently: "I have three suggestions. They correspond to the three problems we are currently encountering.

"First, in response to the problem that the art style is always inappropriate, contact Halo Studio and let Ruan Guangjian do the design."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into a state of stupor.

Chen Yu was a little embarrassed: "This ...... Of course, the method is a good way, why don't we want to ask Ruan to help design the art style...... However, this is the top art studio in China......

"Don't say it's Ruan, even his apprentice's apprentice is full...... What's more, the cost is too high, and we can't afford it......"

Pei Qian nodded silently: "Oh, that's it......"

Everyone nodded: "Yes! ”

Chen Yu said a little embarrassed: "We are a small company after all, you can't always consider your work experience in Tengda, what kind of platform is Tengda, any resources can be easily obtained......

Pei Qian waved his hand: "It's okay." In fact, when I was in Tengda, I also had some personal relations with Ruan Guangjian.

"I'll give him a call when I go back, please, I should be able to design it for a friendly price."

Chen Yu couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? Is there such a connection? ”

The expressions of everyone looking at Pei Qian changed again.

Pei Qian didn't care, and continued: "Anyway, this problem is solved, right?" Then move on to the next one.

"Second, you don't have enough imagination to think of specific scenarios, mainly because you don't choose the right materials.

"You chose a villa with a Western background, but everyone is Oriental and has no similar life experience, how can you imagine this? So, change the background. ”

Chen Yu was a little contradictory: "Why don't we know this? However, the oriental background is even more unsuitable, after all, everyone has never lived in a villa when they were young......"

Pei Qian nodded: "So it must be overturned all." If you don't mind, I'd like to change to the environment and subject matter that I am most familiar with. ”

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What does that mean? ”

Pei Qian paused slightly, and then said, "It's Tengda's office area!" ”

Chen Yu couldn't help but be shocked: "Huh? What does that game look like? ”

Everyone else was also shocked, and they couldn't imagine that this kind of operation could be possible.

Because their original style has a little bit of horror and suspense elements.

In fantasy, children will enter the shadows of the villa, encounter some monsters, and have exciting battles.

What kind of painting style is that to move Tengda's office area to the original?

Forgive us for our lack of imagination, and we can't imagine it at all......

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "What's unimaginable about this?"

"This game is called "The Fall of Tengda". The main plot is about a young man who came to Tengda Group, but found that it was empty and overgrown with wild grass.

He wandered around here, walked through Tengda Games, Yanyang Games, Feihuang Studio, Fish Takeaway, Headwind Logistics and other major areas, and saw that these once unique and prosperous places were all deserted and completely dilapidated.

So, through some clues in the scene, he experienced some imagination and triggered some memories.

"Doesn't that fit perfectly with the core of your game?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

It seems that something is right, and it seems that something is wrong......

Chen Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This...... Ahem, the idea is good, but is this really not going to be sued by Tengda? We're slander, aren't we? It's a curse, at the very least......

"Even if Tengda is magnanimous and doesn't care, where are we going to get these materials? Creating all the scenes of Tengda from scratch is still an incomparably huge amount of work! ”

The others nodded in agreement, apparently not at all feasible in their opinion.

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "This point can be solved together with the third point."

"Aren't you short of funds? It just so happens that if you use this plan, you can save money on art resources. ”

Everyone was still confused.

Pei Qian continued: "Actually, Tengda has long had a plan internally, which was jointly decided by the three major game departments of Tengda Games, Yinyang Games and Chixing Studio.

"That is, to gamify the entire Tengda Group!

"In fact, when I was making the game "The Future You Choose", I had already used some materials from the Tengda Building, but they were all materials after science fiction.

Tengda may also have plans to build an entire virtual universe in the future, so they have been constantly making real-world elements into art resources and putting them in the library.

"And Tengda Group intends to put all these resources on their own game platform and open them to all developers for free!"

Chen Yu's expression changed from doubt to joy: "Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

But soon, everyone else in the room shook their heads: "I haven't heard of it!" If something so big really exists, how can we not know about it? ”

Pei Qian coughed lightly twice: "Ahem!" That's because the plan is still in the pipeline and has not been widely announced. I've been an insider before, so I know about it.

"But don't worry, it should be announced this week at the latest."

The crowd looked at each other, still skeptical.

But that's okay, because in a few hours, it will become a given.

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Then in this way, the three problems will be solved, right?" ”

Before everyone could react, he had already stood up.

"Adjournment!"

With that, he walked out of the conference room in a dashing manner, leaving only everyone with a confused face.

It's going to go fast! That's it?

It seems that he was alone the whole time, and we didn't even have a chance to interject......

Chen Yu was silent in his seat for a long time before he scratched his head and realized a problem.

It seems like...... Am I the boss?
