"Shimomura-sama, you must have discovered this characteristic of pokeni, right?"

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, and the phone didn't look like it was hung up, Qing Zhiyuan already had confidence in his heart.

This shows that he really hit the other party's heart just now.

"What?"

Yoko Shimomura was waiting for him to continue.

"Our game has a strong story, and the dramatic conflicts are very tense, both in terms of character design and overall story structure, which are unique in this world." "If we are given time, we can make a very good game."

More than just role-playing. ”

Knock knock.

Yoko Shimomura's heart beat violently twice.

Yes, she had noticed Pokeni a long time ago and thought it had extraordinary potential, and the key was its storytelling.

With an excellent script writer and the ability to create images that are ahead of the times, Pokeni has a strong power that is about to rise in the wind.

Yoko Shimomura thought the same way at the earliest.

It's just that in Qing Zhiyuan's plan, Shimomura doesn't seem to be able to see what she wants to see.

Or that Qing Zhiyuan wanted too many things at that time, and he wanted to do everything, which made Shimomura feel that he was not so reliable.

……

Qing Zhiyuan was not impressed by Yoko Shimomura in his previous life, but he later figured out the reason why Shimomura left Capcom:

Capcom is good at everything, but for now, Kenzo Tsujimoto, who is immersed in fighting games, has no plans to continue to enter the RPG field.

In fact, it is not nothing, according to the development trajectory of Capcom in the previous life, there should be "Resident Evil", "Devil May Cry" and "Ghost Warrior" in the future...... Such a batch of games.

It's just that it's all after Yoko Shimomura left.

Moreover, Shinji Mikami, who can really lead the making of Resident Evil and Devil May Cry, is already in Pokeni.

Thinking about it like this, Qing Zhiyuan was a little worried about Capcom.

"Yes," Qing Zhiyuan said seriously, "Pokeni has extraordinary creativity, super script writers and concept artists, and it can be said that we have almost no shortcomings except for music.

Even in terms of music, Atsushi Shirakawa has done quite well.

We just sought out other composers just to enrich our music section, after all, Shirakawa has what he is good at and what he is not good at.

If Pokeni wants to make a wider range of content, then it needs talents in the corresponding field.

What is suitable is what we want.

Miss Shimomura, you may think that what I said at the time was too unreasonable and not so reliable.

But what I would say is that it is precisely because we have ambitions and dreams that we need composers of different styles. ”

Huh?

Yoko Shimomura was stunned for a moment.

This logic may sound strange at first glance, but when you think about it, it is.

If Qing Zhiyuan is not an ambitious, seemingly unbounded person, who wants everything, then there is a high probability that she will not be needed.

"Miss Shimomura, please think about this seriously. It's not just Pokeni who needs you, it's that you need Pokeni. You need a stage like this, a place where you can shine. ”

Qing Zhiyuan checked her resume again and found that Shimomura, a composer, has always had his own ideas.

According to her parents' plan, Yoko Shimomura, who has studied piano for many years, was supposed to teach music in Osaka and become a piano teacher, but she completely ignored the opposition of her family and submitted her resume and works to Capcom in Osaka.

Due to her outstanding musical talent, Capcom was quickly noticed by Capcom, and she was made the main music producer for several games.

But when RPGs became mainstream games and Capcom didn't follow up for a long time, Yoko Shimomura soon chose to jump ship again and go to Square Enix.

She went on to write extraordinary music for Square Enix, The Legend of the Sacred Sword, and Kingdom Hearts.

In a corporate atmosphere like Neon's "family company culture" and "loyalty", it really takes a lot of courage to make the decision to change jobs.

Therefore, this woman's goal has always been extremely clear.

Shimomura is definitely an ambitious woman.

Of course, she also has enough quality to match that.

Qing Zhiyuan thinks this is better, because Pokeni needs such ambitious people on the road in the future.

If used well, Shimomura can be a very powerful booster to the game.

Of course, if Pokeni goes downhill one day, Seijiwon has no doubt that Shimomura will immediately abandon them and look for the next target company.

Shimomura can be said to be a litmus test, as long as she has no plans to change jobs, then it means that the company is stable.

……

After everything that should be said, Qing Zhiyuan did not speak again, but waited quietly.

All that was left was the sound of breathing.

It seemed that Qing Zhiyuan had nothing to say, so Yoko Shimomura slowly spoke.

"I see. I've got it. ”

On the other side of the phone, there was a sigh-like laugh from Yoko Shimomura.

She held the microphone and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood President Qing." In the end, it's because I don't know enough about it, and I made an uncool judgment based on just one chat.

This was my mistake.

Very, very sorry. ”

Hearing this, Qing Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Why, poaching is like falling in love, Qing Zhiyuan has learned another lesson-

If you are in an unequal position in the relationship and become a licking dog, then you have already gone far.

Licking a dog can't lick love, and you can't lick career.

Qing Zhiyuan adjusted his mentality and said with a smile, "Miss Shimomura, then please take a moment to come to Tokyo to get to know us and understand what kind of company POKENI is." ”

"Yes. Okay, President. Yoko Shimomura laughed happily.

……

Three days later, Yoko Shimomura arrived at Pokeni on time.

I communicated with Akane Ayase about the approximate salary on the phone before, and Shimomura said that there was no problem.

After the initialing of the contract, you can smoothly handle the onboarding.

Shimomura carried a suitcase and simply went directly to the company to complete the whole process, and by the way, he looked for a place to live nearby.

"Okay, Miss Shimomura, then just wait for you to report to the company according to the time on the contract." Qing Zhiyuan smiled and waved goodbye, "I'm looking forward to seeing you at Pokeni, and I'm also looking forward to you creating a better soundtrack in the future." ”

"Thank you. I'll try. Yoko Shimomura smiled and nodded, saying goodbye to the two and leaving.

After signing the contract and sending Shimomura out of the door, Akane Ayase couldn't suppress the excitement and surprise in her heart, and the corners of her whole mouth opened outward, turning into a weird smile.

"President!"

"What?" Qing Zhiyuan took a step back, "Are you going to play the clown?" Laughing so horribly. ”

"President! How did you do that? ”

Akane Ayase was left with extreme shock and admiration in her brain, and she didn't have the extra effort to think about [laughing horribly].

"You're too good, aren't you? I originally thought that Miss Shimomura must have gone to Square Enix, but I didn't expect you to be able to move her. ”

Does the president know any demagogic spells?

It's scary.

"It stands to reason that Miss Shimomura has no reason to choose us, Pokeni is not as famous as Square Enix, and she offended Ren Tian, and the president is not only handsome, but his temper is so bad that he is willing to choose us......

President, did you use the beauty trick? Oops~"

Qing Zhiyuan slammed her on the head.

"Thank you for complimenting me on how handsome." Qing Zhiyuan said angrily.

"Hey, hey." Xiao HR's whole person was immersed in the joy of being able to successfully [defeat] Square Enix and pull into a musical genius like Yoko Shimomura, and he didn't care about being beaten by Qing Zhiyuan.

……

"Sometimes, it's clear to think about it from the other person's point of view." Qing Zhiyuan concluded.

"Ah~ I see." Akane Ayase hurriedly took notes.

Mental empathy is something she must learn as an HR, but sometimes she always can't handle it well.

"You're still the president, you're more powerful, and you're ready to catch it."

Xiao HR said cruel words while grabbing a handful in the void with his hand.

Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes in disgust, walked back to his boss chair and sat down to drink coffee slowly.

"That's for sure, otherwise why am I the president?"

"Mm-hmm, the president is really handsome."

I don't usually think about the president, but I have a special charm when I do business.

After two seconds, the little HR who had finished taking notes looked up.

"None, President, can you dig up Square Enix's Hironobu Sakaguchi?"

Burst......

Qing Zhiyuan squirted out a mouthful of coffee.

……

After a week, Yoko Shimomura reported to Pokeni on time.

In this way, Qing Zhiyuan's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

"Welcome to Pokeni." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, taking out a card from behind his back and handing it to Yoko Shimomura.

"Thank you, President."

Yoko Shimomura nodded politely.

……

After personnel arrangements and receiving his own stationery, Shimomura was led by Qing Zhiyuan to the music department to get to know him.

In fact, there were only three of them.

One is Atsushi Shirakawa, who was in charge of the soundtrack of "Your Name" before, and there are two other people who do chores, do sound effects, or arrange and record with Atsushi Shirakawa.

Now another Yoko Shimomura has been added.

Shirakawa immediately felt that the pressure on his body had been reduced a lot.

After the introduction, Qing Zhiyuan explained a few words and left here.

Shimomura put things on the table and sat down at the desk.

Took a slight breather.

She suddenly remembered something, so she opened the greeting card that the former youth president gave him.

I saw that it read:

[Starlight illuminates the road in my heart, and the flowers bloom in my dreams and have a return date]

【Welcome back】

Shimomura's nose was sour with tears, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

There were tears rolling in his eyes, but he was happy.

Shirakawa on the other side was confused.

……

The development of Pokeni's game is slowing down for the time being, and The Witcher, which was supposed to be released in May, is expected to be delayed by two months due to a script change.

Other games continue on their tracks, whether it's Pokémon Gold or Silver or Diablo 2, and it's still a long way before development ends.

It's already very good to be able to start at the end of this year.

But Qing Zhiyuan was not worried at all.

Because for him, so far this year has harvested two very important talents.

One is Yoko Shimomura, who just dug his foot from Capcom, oh no, to be precise, it should be Yoko Shimomura who cut off his beard from Square Enix.

As long as she is there, then the soundtracks of many games in the future will be guaranteed, and now Qing Zhiyuan is ready to hand over the composition of Diablo 2 and the Witcher to Shimomura, and then release Shirakawa to concentrate on the healing system and ancient music that he is good at.

The other one is Ma Zhizhun who is about to report to the company.

Tear jerker.

……

In March, Maeda came to Pokeni.

"President! I'm coming! ”

Ma Zhizhun looked extremely excited, after all, this was the job he had in mind, you must know that he gave up his dream of taking the entrance examination to come here.

Otherwise, with his ability, he can really enter the neon No. 1 Dongda.

In a way, Ma Zhi is an extremely intelligent guy, and he is very talented and versatile, and it is really scary to give birth to such a monster in this world.

"Okay, it's good to come."

Qing Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder.

Although he understood his excitement, he always felt that this guy was a little too excited.

After a brief chat with him, Qing Zhiyuan asked Shinji Mikami to take him away, and now there is no task for Asaeda Jun, so let this guy do chores at the witcher to familiarize himself with the environment and work content.

……

Mikami took Ma Zhi Jun and glanced at him, and couldn't help but be a little funny.

The bangs on this guy's forehead are too long, right?

It's almost in the eyes.

Isn't this guy uncomfortable at all?

Mikami raised his eyebrows and blew up, "Don't you think your hair pierces your eyes?" ”

"Huh?"

Ma Zhijun was stunned for a moment, and then shook his hair, "This is popular now." ”

Killing Matt Wind started with neon.

The hot girls and the hedgehog-headed buddies are also coming, and Ma Zhi must be regarded as a person who is at the forefront of the times.

"Huh? Can't companies have long hair? Ma Zhi asked.

Mikami smiled and patted him on the shoulder, indicating that it didn't matter.

"There are no personal requirements for pokeni, as long as you feel comfortable."

……

After turning around, the people introduced by Brigadier General Mikami under Ma Zhi all knew each other.

I have to say that this guy is really amazing in memory, and he remembered it all after only introducing it once.

Others don't have the ability to do that.

After settling down, Ma Zhijun sighed while tidying up his workstation:

"Hey, that's a shame.

Originally, I thought that I could come to Pokeni and concentrate on learning from Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara.

But who knows, it's only been more than two years, and Teacher Furuhara Tsubaki is gone.

I was so unlucky that I couldn't meet him. ”

The others were stunned for a moment, looking at the teenager with bangs pierced into his eyes like a silly child.

What does it mean that Furuhara Tsubaki is gone?

It's clear that it's a good life.

Mika Ishino just wanted to open her mouth to tell him the truth, but was dragged by Ken Akanishi next to her.

"Hey, that's a pity." Akanishi Ken said, "Furuhara Tsubaki is the mainstay of our company, the pillars are gone, and I don't know who will be able to carry the banner in the future." ”

"It's okay, I'll work hard with Mr. Furuhara."

Ma Zhijun clenched his fists, looking full of energy.

Xuyuan Xuan, who was sitting next to him, raised his head and glared at a pair of small eyes.

Are you stupid?

The heir of Furuhara Tsubaki is obviously me, okay?

……
