Chapter 482 Consideration (Thanks to the leader of Ya is Fairy.)
That night.

The car slowly drove into the community and stopped downstairs.

"Ah~"

Zhou Mingyuan slumped in his chair, sighed, looked towards the balcony, and did not move.

When I heard a colleague say that he liked to be alone in the car after get off work, he didn’t understand. But now, he deeply agrees with him.

He wanted to rest for a while, in a space where he wouldn't be disturbed.

The day's work drained his energy.

When I was young, I always arrogantly believed that I could control everything and was full of infinite longing for the future.

However, as I grow older, especially after I am thirty, I gradually realize that many things are not as I imagined.

I married Lu Jia after graduating from college, and it has been nearly ten years now.

Busy work, frequent late nights, the pressure of supporting a family, and all kinds of trivial matters made him physically and mentally exhausted.

I want to struggle, but life is like an invisible net. The more I struggle, the tighter it gets.

There was music playing in the car, but I didn’t know the name of the song. It seemed to be a new song, and I was hearing it for the first time.

The pace is slow and the mood seems to be relaxed.

He fished out his cigarette case and took out a cigarette.

I was about to light it, but gave up. If my wife smelled the cigarette in the car, she would nag me again.

My pocket started vibrating and I took out my phone. It was a message from the company group.

Thinking of the troubles at work, he scratched his hair.

Spread it out and take a look.

Damn, I have to change my shampoo next time.

Get off the car, squat at the entrance of the corridor, light a cigarette, and take a deep breath.

"Hiss, huh."

The night was as dark as ink, and Mars flickered, just like his mood at the moment.

He wanted to resign. He mentioned it to his wife casually while drunk some time ago. He was not joking, but really had this idea.

"God of War" was launched in 08.

The person in charge of Quantum Studio is Chen Yu. At the beginning of the project, he hoped to complete a classic product similar to "Diablo".

With this original intention, the game's payment points and revenue model were placed in the second place, and the project team's main focus was on how to make the game more fun.

However, this design idea caused serious conflict with Tencent’s senior management.

The main reason for this is that Tencent’s current operating strategy focuses on the high-efficiency, money-oriented style of Hong Kong professional managers.

The conflict between the two was almost unavoidable, and the situation remained at a stalemate.

In fact, Tencent initially attached great importance to the game "Douluo Dalu" for two main reasons.

The first reason was that the company was suffering from the accusation of plagiarism and had a very bad reputation online, so it urgently needed a self-developed, high-quality game without any traces of plagiarism to turn things around and save its reputation, and "Douluo Dalu" was very suitable.

The second reason is that the company recognizes the potential of "Douluo Dalu". The subversive creation of "Dark Journey to the West" alone can attract a large number of players, and the production is also good, it is definitely qualified to become a classic. Therefore, since the project was launched, the company has been building momentum for "Douluo Dalu".

Last month, "Douluo Dalu" started its internal technical closed beta test.

However, the closed beta test results made the top management dissatisfied, because they could not see the payment point of the game, and once it was officially launched, it would most likely result in a loss.

Tencent President Martin Lau publicly criticized the DouZheng project team at the meeting: "We gave you so much money to make such a product, it would be better for you to invest in real estate and earn much more than you."

Chen Yu naturally argued that this was a well-received work and the cornerstone of Tencent Games' future.

From then on, every time there was a meeting, they would argue and get angry.

Zhou Mingyuan supports Chen Yu very much in his heart. He also had certain pursuits when he chose the gaming industry.

But the arm can't twist the thigh after all, you won't change, right? Please leave!

In order to survive, Chen Yu had no choice but to compromise.

But since this incident, the morale of the people at Quantum Studio has completely dispersed.

Among them was Zhou Mingyuan and a group of brothers he brought from the Ninth City.

"Hahaha~"

Not far away, a hearty laugh came, and it sounded familiar.

Zhou Mingyuan looked at the sensor light above his head that lit up, indicating that he was scared, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

His future brother and sister has a gentle temperament, outstanding looks, and a good personality. But this laugh
Ha people!

Liu Shishi was also shocked at this moment.

I took my boyfriend for a night run downstairs at night. I was working hard to maintain a good figure, and then for some unknown reason I was taken out by that bastard to eat hotpot.

She came back and continued running. She was too tired to move and acted coquettishly and cutely as usual. Lu Yuan had no choice but to carry her on his back.

They were laughing and giggling when suddenly a light came on in the dark corridor opposite and a crouching figure appeared.

Looking more closely, yes, it’s an acquaintance.

It's quite embarrassing.

She quickly jumped off her boyfriend's back, a little shy, and hesitantly called out, "Brother-in-law."

Without waiting for Zhou Mingyuan to reply, Miss Liu swung her arms and ran back to her building.

"What did she call me...brother-in-law?" Zhou Mingyuan stood in a daze, holding a cigarette in his right hand.

"Hey." Lu Yuan squatted down beside him.

"This girl is silly, I'm used to it. Some time ago, I was filming on the set. My mom called me in the afternoon. I had something to do. She answered the phone, but she stuttered and called my mom directly. My mom was so happy that she lost her mind on the phone. In the evening, she and my dad gave me a lecture, telling me that I should not let others down, and so on and so forth."

"Did you have an argument that day?" Zhou Mingyuan listened with a look of suspicion on his face.

Lu Yuan recalled: "We didn't quarrel, but I scolded her when we were filming in the morning, and one scene was stuck for more than 30 takes."

"She probably did it on purpose." Zhou Mingyuan chuckled, very sure.

"impossible."

Lu Yuan shook his head: "I thought so at first, but then I found opportunities to try it a few times and found that she really was a slip of the tongue."

"Really?" Zhou Mingyuan exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes inexplicable: "If my memory serves me correctly, your sister used this trick before. We had a fight over a small matter that morning, and we also had a slip of the tongue when we were having lunch at noon. In the evening, my dad called me and told me all kinds of threats."

"Uh." Lu Yuan was stunned.

When did Liu Daidai start to be scheming?

Old woman you and me.
He complained madly in his heart, stretched out his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him, changed the subject, and asked: "Why are you squatting instead of going upstairs? Did my sister abuse you?"

"No, I just got back from get off work and was about to go up when I received a call."

Zhou Mingyuan flicked away the ash, made up an excuse and didn't want to talk about it further.

Lu Yuan thought of his dream last night: "I want to ask you something."

"Just ask."

“Do you think it’s feasible to play League of Legends on a mobile phone?”

“League of Legends mobile game?”

Zhou Mingyuan frowned and pondered, "The configuration of current mobile phones is probably not good enough. The game can be played on 3G network, but the picture quality will not be very high. The key is whether the League of Legends will be popular after it goes online in China. No one knows for sure yet. You are thinking too far ahead."

"What? The big star is planning to change his career and stop being an actor to work in the gaming industry with me?"

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "No, that's not the case. I just had this idea when I was playing League of Legends yesterday."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Mingyuan became concerned.

This brother-in-law has grown to where he is today in just a few years, so he must have extraordinary ideas and intuition.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't give you an answer now. I'll look up information and talk to my peers tonight to assess the feasibility."

"it is good!"

There are many mosquitoes in September. Lu Yuan stood up, kicked his legs, and said, "If the plan is feasible, if you want to jump out of Tencent and start a studio and work on your own, I can invest in you."

Zhou Mingyuan hesitated for a few seconds, threw away the cigarette butt, stood up, stomped it out with his foot, and then nodded.

“Yeah.” At the same time, he was thinking that if the Chinese version of League of Legends became popular after its launch, it would mean that the plan was feasible.

With this in mind, now is not the time to leave Tencent.

At least we have to wait a little longer and take some more technical backbones with us. Some colleagues in Quantum Studio have already lost their enthusiasm.

"Snapped!"

Lu Yuan patted his thigh and said, "Let's go upstairs. There are too many mosquitoes."

"Wait a moment."

Zhou Mingyuan took a bottle of mineral water from the car, rinsed his mouth, and walked into the wind to get rid of the smell of cigarettes on his body.

Lu Yuan watched him perform a series of smooth movements and joked, "A habitual offender!"

Zhou Mingyuan turned his head and smiled, then took out another piece of chewing gum and showed it off in his mouth.

"Brother-in-law, these are all life experiences. Learn more. Maybe they will be useful in the future."

"I don't smoke."

"Hehe, drinking also counts. You'll know when you and Shishi have a child."

The opening credits are not long and the main film begins quickly.

First, a pair of white feet stepped on the steps, and there were bright red spots on the toes.

Then the camera moved up, revealing Liu Shishi's waist. She held an umbrella, twisted her waist slightly, and slowly walked up the stairs.

"hiss!"

Xu Zheng couldn't help but touch his big bald head. The first shot didn't look like the work of a newcomer.

He felt a lot of pressure for the upcoming filming of "Lost in Thailand".

On the other side, Lu Yuan was holding three-year-old Xu Xiaobao, the bald man’s daughter.

At this moment, his attention was all on Xu Zheng's face.

After the rough cut of "Out of Time" was completed, he invited some friends in the circle to watch the film.

Including Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Zhang Li, Luo Liping, Jiang Wei, Liu Jiang and others.

He likes to invite different people to come and watch. What they say is secondary. The main thing is to observe the expressions on their faces after watching the film.

This includes the state of word choice and sentence formation before opening your mouth to evaluate. That kind of reaction is the most direct and natural, and can be used as a reference for yourself.

After all, the reaction of each person to the film is different.

This script came from his dream, and he directed it himself and also participated in the editing.

It is easy to fall into a very self-centered state, thinking that everything is reasonable and right. We have to use other people's different reactions to help us pull ourselves out of it.

After watching the whole movie, Lu Yuan asked, "How was it?"

Seeing his daughter slumped on his shoulder with her little hands around his neck, not shy at all but pouting and looking somewhat happy, Xu Zheng felt jealous and snatched her back.

“How much was invested in this play?”

"About 30 million."

Xu Zheng estimated for a moment that with a cost of 30 million, 100 million would be enough to make back the money, and said, "I think there's no problem. When do you plan to release it?
"Valentine's Day next year."

"Ah, I want a hug." Xu Xiaobao stretched out his hand and shouted.

"Xiaobao." Lu Yuan clapped his hands.

Xu Zheng held down his daughter's loosened hand and blurted out, "I think it can be among the top three in the annual box office."

"Ah, hug."

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. The words that came out of this person's mouth were too fake.

“How is the preparation for Lost in Thailand going?”

"Filming will start next month, and Fan Binbin has agreed to star in it."

"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded.

At first, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, no, to be precise, the idea of ​​wanting Liu Shishi to appear on the screen came from Xu Zheng.

Wang Baoqiang’s idol in real life is actually Fan Binbin.

He knew exactly what Xu Zheng was thinking.

It was simply his first time directing, and he was worried that there might not be enough funds during the filming, so he hoped that he could add some extra money.

Because of "Startling by Each Step", everyone in the industry knew that he doted on his girlfriend, so he made this suggestion.

But Xu Zheng guessed wrong.

Although Lu Yuan dotes on Liu Shishi and even lowers his status to film a historical drama to promote her to the top, this is the big screen and involves an investment of tens of millions, and it is definitely not a game.

Whether in terms of popularity or promotional topics, Liu Shishi's popularity on the big screen is obviously not as good as Fan Binbin's at the moment.

Business is business, and feelings are feelings.

He also discussed this matter with Miss Liu, and the girl was understanding and said she would give up.

After Xu Zheng took his daughter away, Lu Yuan returned to the office and stared at the script on the table in a daze.

This is the studio's plan for next year, and the script from Zhou Yi has been polished.

Lu Yuan does not plan to serve as director this time.

First, directing is too tiring and will seriously distract him from performing; second, the subject matter is inappropriate.

A director needs to have a variety of skills and knowledge, including editing and directing, organizational and coordination skills, time management skills, artistic sensibility and intuition.

These abilities enable the director to work in different types of films, but this does not mean that the director can perform well in all types of films.

Every director has his or her own style and comfort zone.

Some are used to martial arts, some are used to crime and gangs, and some are used to comedy or romance.

Blindly shooting without considering the details is a minus point for the movie.

Lu Yuan actually considered for a long time the choice of director for this film.

I thought about looking for Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui who directed "Infernal Affairs", and I also wanted to give a chance to the studio's new director Wen Muye.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

"Boss, you're looking for me." Wen Muye pushed the door open and walked in.

"Take a look." He pushed the script on the table over.

Wen Muye seemed to have guessed something, his face lit up with joy, and he read out the words one by one: "New World."

He knew that Lu Yuan had a number of high-quality script outlines, including those for movies and TV series, and the screenwriting department had been constantly improving and revising them.

He had known this script before.

It tells a story about conspiracy and betrayal between the police, undercover gangsters and gang bosses.

According to the original outline, it would not pass the review in mainland China. Huang Haoyong led the screenwriting department to revise it several times, but it still could not pass the review.

In the end, I decided to set the background of the script in Hong Kong, before 97, in the s and s.

The male protagonist Li Zicheng is a member of the Royal Police. He received orders from his superiors to lurk in a gang group. In the following years, because he saw too many dirty sides of his superiors, he was completely disappointed with the Royal Police and the British side. After an unexpected contact, his heart began to rise.

"Boss, what do you mean?" Wen Muye closed the script and felt his throat dry.

"Yes, it's exactly what you think."

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "This play is the studio's plan for next year. You can familiarize yourself with the script in advance and tell me your ideas when the time comes. If you are qualified for the position of director, then I will let you direct it."
