Chapter 400: PUBG
The release results on the side of Disco Elysium were also surprisingly good.
Su Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why he wanted to get stuck at this point was mainly a sense of ceremony.
But if Chen Jinzhi's side kills all sides, and his side is bleak, it will be a bit bad, and the contrast is too strong.
Fortunately, it seems that the results on both sides are dazzling.
This is thanks to the good quality of the demo some time ago, which attracted many players who were waiting for the release to buy it.
In addition, the up owners who contacted the cooperation before also said that they would release the live video as soon as possible after the release because they received good feedback.
Although it is said that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, in today's Internet era, an appropriate amount of marketing is necessary and will play a role in fueling the flames.
Su Chengyi glanced at the Weibo hot search list and checked whether the hot search he bought was launched on time.
#极乐迪斯科正式发售#
He bought the position in seventh place, for no specific reason, just because he liked the number.
But this topic did not stay in seventh place for long, and climbed to third place after dozens of minutes, relying on its popularity.
After clicking in, the popular ones are several up owners with millions of followers.
"Seconds. Updated in the evening. ”
"Don't worry, everyone, cut the video while playing tonight, and strive to make everyone's electronic mustard online as soon as possible."
"The game has been bought, and I will try to finish the game this week! Because I like this game very much, I want to finish it all at once, and the audience is troublesome and patient, etc.! [Please] [Arch Fist]"
With such a positive attitude, Su Chengyi couldn't help but think about whether he talked about the follow-up publicity after the official release when he was talking about cooperation.
There should be no, their propaganda is completely voluntary.
Su Cheng thought, maybe this is the importance of having a good attitude as Party A, if the cooperation is not happy at that time, the ghost will make you a video for free.
In addition to these bloggers, passers-by also tend to have positive reviews.
"It's finally on sale, and the demo makes me itch."
"All night long, it's been a long time since I've encountered a game to my taste!"
"Don't be in a hurry to investigate the case, everyone, listen to my advice, falling in love with Jin is the most important thing!"
"+1, isn't this a love game? (Serious face)"
"Seriously, I'd love to know where I can buy the same jet jacket in gold?"
This question made Su Chengyi stunned, Jin's orange flight jacket was really good-looking, and he went to Amazon to buy one in his previous life.
But now I'm afraid I can't buy it.
After that, let's see if you can contact the manufacturer to customize it, there is no point in selling this kind of peripherals, and when the time comes, it will be sent out as a fan welfare lottery.
Su Chengyi thought about it in his heart, and then turned the steering wheel with one hand and reversed into the warehouse.
In fact, as the boss, he should have come to the studio more often, but he is really busy with business, and it has been a long time since he last came.
Because of this, he piled up a lot of things to say at this meeting.
It's not just for a celebration feast.
Su Chengyi turned the key casually, and his unhurried footsteps echoed in the underground garage.
The elevator was running, and he was sorting out a few things in his mind that he would say later.
When I walked out of the elevator, there was an explosion of "bang-" overhead, and streamers and gold dust flew out.
“Surprise!!!”
Employees shouted in unison.
originally thought that this trick could scare his own boss, but he didn't expect Su Cheng's pasta to not change color, but calmly took off the ribbon strip on his head and raised his hand to signal.
"Okay, let's go in."
Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and said that what about the celebration party? It's like an expulsion conference!
But no one dared to speak to test his meaning, so they all followed him into the room with their heads bowed.
Su Chengyi didn't actually mean to spoil the fun, and he didn't realize that his reaction was not only disappointing, but also made people mistakenly think that he was angry.
He was simply not frightened, and then he was thinking about business, and naturally he was not smiling as usual.
But others don't think so, and they don't dare to come out for a while as if they have done something wrong.
In the end, He Wufei sensed that something was wrong, coughed twice, and motioned to Su Chengyi to look at the expressions of the employees.
Su Chengyi reacted at this time, he scratched his eyebrows, and said:
"Ah, thank you all for the surprise event."
Although this reaction was deliberate, it barely proved that he was not angry, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Yu led the staff to clean the corridor before returning to the conference table and sitting down.
During this period, Su Chengyi leaned on the table and read the report on the table for a while.
The sales and number of online users in the first hour of release exceeded expectations, and the results can be said to be very good.
It's hardly like what a "niche" game should be.
This was indeed something to celebrate, and everyone waited with bated breath for the boss's reaction.
But even with such excellent data in front of him, there was still no wave in his eyes.
If you look at it from the perspective of a person who doesn't know the inside story, you will definitely think that the results of "Disco Elysium" are not satisfactory.
Only He Wufei knows that this boss doesn't mean this, he just has such an expressionless and unhappy world-weary face.
So he had to cough again as a reminder.
With the surprise event in front of him, Su Chengyi also successfully received his reminder this time, put down the report in his hand, and said:
"Today is the official release of our studio's first official project, Disco Elysium, and I believe everyone is paying close attention to our achievements and looking forward to me giving you some comments."
He said this sincerely, and made such a good result, everyone is waiting for the boss's commendation, but listening to his tone always makes people feel a bad premonition.
So the employees who usually love gags also swallowed their saliva and didn't dare to pick up the stubble.
"Well, my assessment is - very good, thank you for your contributions."
Su Chengyi bowed lightly and smiled.
The atmosphere in the conference room was instantly relaxed, and everyone showed their first sincere smile of the night.
"Everyone has worked hard, and there will be no more sensational words, and all thanks will be reflected in this month's bonus."
Su Chengyi nodded at He Wufei, who understood.
The two have actually communicated about this matter.
Although Su Chengyi has been making money, in the final analysis, he doesn't have that much desire for money. That's why he won't be like a real capitalist, he can't help but grasp every penny of interest, at least for his employees, he is definitely one of the most generous bosses in the world.
The employees who will stay here because of the Disco Elysium project are passionate about the game. Many of them, even if they don't get a reasonable enough return, will do their best to create a good game.
This is the employee that Su Chengyi needs.
Disco Elysium was chosen as the first project, ostensibly due to human resources and start-up capital, but in fact the real reason was the idealism of the game, which was originally the most suitable for the studio's core needs for recruiting employees.
It was not easy to gather such a group of people, and of course Su Chengyi would give the highest salary and benefits, and each of them had the potential to become the core of the studio.
"Boss atmosphere!!"
"Mr. Su yyds~"
"Mr. Su is the most handsome on the surface!"
The atmosphere group finally started the first wave of bragging about the day.
Su Chengyi couldn't hear this kind of thing in the future, so he waved his hand to interrupt.
"Mr. Su, what do you say, are you going out to eat now?"
He Wufei asked with a smile, he booked a Chinese restaurant today, and the reputation is very good.
"Wait a minute."
Su Chengyi turned around, took out the USB flash drive in his pocket and inserted it into the computer.
"We. . A small meeting is needed. ”
Saying this, he paused.
recalled the painful experience of having to have a meeting after working overtime in my previous life, but I didn't expect to live my most hated life after all.
There was an uproar all around.
You know, the studio has been running for so long, and the boss has never had a meeting in person.
Although it was a regular meeting every time, it was the employees led by Dong Yu who made a report, and he listened to it offstage, occasionally nodding his head, and occasionally saying "um".
So although the meeting is a very annoying thing for social animals, the meeting presided over by Boss Su himself made people look forward to it out of thin air.
Su Chengyi opened the PPT made in advance, checked the effect of the projection equipment, and made sure that it was clear enough before he turned around.
There was no need to cough at all, everyone was already consciously sitting upright, waiting for him to speak.
"There may be some problems with the PPT made temporarily, so please bear with it."
Su Chengyi raised his hand and motioned for everyone to read the title first.
"Summary of X1 Studio's recent work and future prospects."
"As shown in the picture, the content of this meeting is roughly divided into two sections, the first part of which can be briefly skipped."
This section briefly shows the creative process of Disco Elysium and the thanks to all members of the production team.
Although he said that it was done temporarily, this PPT is really good, concise, clear and beautiful, with a high-end temperament.
It's like a product launch.
Dong Yu in the audience couldn't help but secretly reflect on the complicated and ineffective PPT that he had reported before, but fortunately, the boss didn't show disgust at that time.
"The second part is the important discussion of this meeting. It can be roughly divided into the following small points:
First, the venue is replaced. As you can see, although this studio has only been renovated not long ago, and the equipment is new, the area is too small and the location is not good enough. I knew it wasn't convenient for everyone to commute, so I had already rented a large flat in the downtown office building in advance and made an appointment with a moving company. If nothing else, the move will be completed within about next week. ”
As his words fell, the location and facilities of the new den were shown on the PPT, which was obviously much stronger than the grass platform team in the current community.
Of course, most people are satisfied with this, and who doesn't want to work in a high-end place?
But there are also reluctant, after all, after struggling here for so long, I already have some feelings.
"Goodbye to my balcony, I can't fish and bask in the sun here with you in the future."
One person turned his head to look at the windowsill with a somewhat sentimental expression.
"Don't be too sad, this is still Secretary He's home, you can come and visit when you have time."
Su Chengyi smiled and said with relief.
"That's good, that's good!"
Everyone was instantly relieved.
What's better than having to leave an old love behind and still have a new love?
"The second point is the recruitment of new personnel."
As soon as Su Chengyi's words came out, the employees who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly raised their throats again.
Because the word "recruitment" has an inexplicable pressure on old employees.
"But rest assured, X1 Game Studio has come to this day, and everyone sitting here is a founding hero.
The reason why we need to recruit new people is because our next project is far from being completed by 20 or so of us. ”
Su Chengyi rolled up his cuffs, lowered his eyes, and briefly thought about whether to throw out his thoughts now.
In the end, I decided to trust the people here.
After Dong Yu heard the words "next project", he suddenly felt excited.
He has no interest in "venue upgrades" and "personnel recruitment", he is only interested in making games.
In fact, although I have been looking forward to the official release of "Disco Elysium", but now that it is really on sale, the results are obvious to all, but Dong Yu is inexplicably a little sentimental.
It's like raising a child with his own hands, watching him go from croaking to toddler, and now he is waving his hand and going to kindergarten steadily, as a parent, he can only stand at the door and feel lost.
But fortunately, the boss threw out a new project at this time.
And everything hasn't started yet, it's just in the planning stage, like a newborn embryo.
Su Chengyi, who had made a decision, sorted out his thoughts and said:
"Some time ago, I went to an Internet café because of a friend, where I took a look at what games everyone was playing right now.
As everyone thinks, 80% of the screen shows the same game, League of Legends. ”
The second half of the sentence that can't be said is, and it will survive for a long time.
Su Cheng imagined that even in the era of mobile games ten years later, it would still have a place.
While player activity is inevitably declining, League of Legends has the most followed league in the world, so the topic has always been a buzz.
Therefore, the game he is going to talk about next is a completely different type of large-scale online game that has carved out a bloody way out of the heyday of League of Legends.
"Of course, we're not stupid enough to do a MOBA game against League of Legends, that's stupid.
I would say that out of the remaining twenty percent, there is one game genre that is quite worthy of our attention.
That's a battle royale-style FPS game. ”
After pointing out the topic, Su Chengyi slowed down his speech and observed the reactions of the employees.
Obviously, as veteran game nerds, they should have noticed the same thing as themselves.
It's just that no one has traveled back like him, and he doesn't know that after this, there will be a phenomenal game that will break ground and become popular all over the world.
Some time ago, I also heard that there was a guy in the modeling team who stayed up late to play "H1Z1", and after being abused by blood, he learned from the pain - at the cost of a Huazi, he found a programming team to help him write a script.
As a result, of course, he was reprimanded by Dong Yu's justice.
"Speaking of which, everyone should have thought of "DayZ" or "H1Z1", which has been very popular recently, right?
The internal logic of becoming a phenomenal game is caused by the innovation of gameplay mode, and the innovation of gameplay will inevitably produce phenomenal works.
The novelty of the above two gameplay and the completely different game tracks they have opened up, they should have far more popularity than they are now.
This obviously has a lot to do with the company's strange operation and restrictions on the country.
A player in our studio should have a lot to say about this, it must not be that you can't beat it, but that the latency of the Asian server is too high. ”
He clearly said that he was ridiculing, and the audience followed with a burst of laughter, only the party buried his head.
I didn't expect this boss to be in the studio, but I knew these things very clearly.
"So the next game we're going to make is based on this model."
Su Chengyi paused slightly and put the PPT on the last page.
"I think. Its name should be called - "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". ”
