Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 68 Vacation!

Liu Wei's office.

"Weige, the decoration plan for the Time Photography Studio has been prepared. Take a look." Along with Sun Lin's voice on the other end of the phone, an email also arrived on Liu Wei's computer.

Liu Wei opened it and saw that it was implemented exactly according to his plan, without any deception in it.

The entire first floor hall is designed in a circular shape.

When customers enter from the gate, they need to walk through an [-]-square-meter 'Memory Corridor' to reach the 'Memory Shop'.

Past the Memories Shop, there are the stairs to the first and second floors.

The entire second floor adopts 'abstract art style', with a dedicated office area and lounge, and the kitchen next to it.

Renovation doesn't cost much, more than 40 at most.

The main money was spent on the partitions on the first floor. According to Liu Wei's original idea, it was best to make an electronic screen corridor.

But considering that this may actually form a unique selling point.

In the end, Liu Wei decided to use mud walls to divide the partitions. Different wall materials were used in different eras. For example, in the 60s and [-]s, loess was used with straw mixed in between.

In the latest generation, it is made of cement.

The walls are covered with photos, newspapers and representative products from each era.

Each of these doesn't cost much, but combined, the price is about the same as that of an electronic screen.

Because this construction method of changing the wall material every ten meters requires the construction team to repeatedly change materials, the price has also gone up.

The rest is the flow of other funds, mainly used to purchase professional cameras, computers needed for editing, recruiting receptionists, chefs, employees, etc.

The total value of these is 200 million, for a company that only relies on photography to make money.

This cost has been very high.

The design of the first floor is optional and completely unnecessary, which can save hundreds of thousands of capital costs.

But Liu Wei was very happy and approved without hesitation with a wave of his hand.

The more you spend, the more you will lose when the time comes to settle the account.

Moreover, this money is not a one-time escape.

Except for the first one-year rent, which requires a one-time payment of 100 million, whether it is interior decoration or other equipment, it must be paid in installments.

Pay the deposit first, and then pay the balance after the funds have eased. This is now popular in the market.

So although this amount of money is not a small amount, it is not a problem for the ultimate Internet company that has a treasure trove, a cash cow and a half.

Liu Wei thought for a while and sent another email to Sun Lin.

"Ask those employees, are any of them willing to stay and work overtime during the New Year? Three times the salary, and there is no need to do anything else. You just need to monitor the progress of the decoration company."

Soon, Sun Lin replied: "Weige, now there are only two people in the company, Wang Ning and I. I will go home and Wang Ning will stay. The decoration company said that they can't promise and can only let us contact ourselves." , if there is a master who is willing to work overtime, I will do it.”

Liu Wei: "Tell them, even if they work overtime during the New Year, they will be paid three times as much."

Sun Lin quickly responded with an 'ok' gesture: "The decorator said it's no problem!"

Liu Wei closed the email, lay back, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Get it!

But then, he opened his eyes again, frowning and thinking.

Should we also give these people in the game company triple overtime pay?This is another huge expense.

No!

Liu Wei shook his head and rejected the idea.

Because the game industry and the camera studio are not of the same nature.

Although there are more than 30 people in the game industry, working overtime during the New Year directly costs an additional 30.

Correspondingly, the development progress of the game will be greatly accelerated.

Once the game development is completed, it must be put on the shelves for sale, although Liu Wei has enough confidence in the game to fail.

But after all, if it is put on the shelves one day later, there will be less danger.The photo studio is completely different.

First of all, although Wang Ning was the only one who chose to stay in the camera studio, there was also a decoration master who was paid three times the salary. The money spent on coming and going was no less than what was spent on the game.

Secondly, it is because the marketing model of photo studios is different.

The game is sold online, which is simple and convenient and can be purchased at home.

However, the photo studio is a physical industry and requires customers to visit in person for inspection. It is impossible for customers to make a decision directly with just one phone call!

What's more, Liu Wei doesn't plan to promote the 'Memory Photography Studio'.

If the physical store does not promote it, how can it have customers?

Thinking of this, Liu Wei suddenly felt relieved.

Then he took out his phone and decided to celebrate!
……

……

Haodu Dijing Office Area.

Wang Ning flipped through his notebook with a sad look on his face, which was filled with Mr. Liu's suggestions.

"I know these words separately, but why don't I understand what they mean when they are put together?"

It's not that Wang Ning can't understand, it's that he can't understand.

For example, the design concept of 'each option is transformed by a door'.

It looks good, sounds good, and even better when you think about it.

But if you want to implement it, it will be difficult!

How to implement it?

According to the plan in the design draft, there are only two or three simple options. These are easy to shoot, and you only need to shoot two or three scenes to get through it.

There are many complicated scenarios, such as hobbies and so on.

There are seven or eight options at every turn, so do we still need to make seven or eight short films?
How much does this cost?
Although Mr. Liu is not a person who values ​​money very much, as a project manager, Wang Ning, rational planning of funds is a basic business ability.

Just because Mr. Liu believes in this project, we can't just throw money into it like a bottomless pit.

This not only betrayed his position, but also betrayed Mr. Liu's trust in him.

the most important is!

Even if it can be shot at a low price, can the actors' emotions be in place?
This is not an ordinary 'text adventure game', which can be figured out by the player's own imagination.

This is a real movie scene. Once the actors' emotions are not in place, the player's sense of experience will be greatly reduced.

Wang Ning still knows how much money is spent and how many things are done.

Wang Ning scratched his head, depressed and melancholy.

This is how to do?
"Ding Ding!"

At this moment, Wang Ning's cell phone rang. He picked up the cell phone and saw that it was a message from Mr. Liu.

"To celebrate the implementation of the 'Time Photography Studio' plan, we now have a two-day holiday in advance!"

oooooooo!
The excited roars of everyone came from the office area.

It's only a few days before the Spring Festival, but the company actually asked for a holiday. This time I can have a good New Year.

Wang Ning was also very happy.

But it wasn't because of the holiday, but because he saw the words 'camera studio'.

He suddenly thought of how to solve this scene!
With this in mind, he sent a message to Sun Lin: "Mr. Sun, I need help with something about the camera studio."

Soon, Sun Lin replied: "???I have gone home, but I can give you Zhang Hao's contact information. He is responsible for handling it now."

Then, a string of phone numbers arrived on Wang Ning's mobile phone.
