I, the traveler, will guide me directly in the Mi Universe.

However, these people have not been blinded by profit. The operating models and even concepts of the studio and the company will be very different. The biggest difference is that in the future, the entire company will no longer be able to focus on serving Iraq. Dian alone.

Although the studio has signed other contracts, most of the time, the work of serving Eden still has the highest priority.

Once the studio becomes a company, this will no longer be possible.

Although Eden's identity as the company's number one sister will not change, the resources allocated will be much more, and the company's scale will also need to be adjusted accordingly.

The most important thing is the development direction of the company.

In the past, it was only necessary to take care of the development direction of Eden, but now we have to consider that the cultural and creative industry is all-encompassing, and whether we need to cross into some fields that even Eden, a cross-border madman, has never set foot in.

At this point, Eden decided to listen to the opinions of the screener who first proposed the idea of ​​transforming the studio into a company.

The person on the other end of the computer saw that the focus of the meeting was focused on him, so he quickly opened the ppt he had made before and began to explain his ideas.

Eden is involved in the fields of film and television, music, drama, songs, and costume design. Naturally, he cannot leave behind. At the same time, he is already familiar with the studio and has his own set of plans, so Ying is too lazy to mess around.

Therefore, Yingying praised the current working conditions of the studio at the beginning, and only slightly pointed out the shortcomings in the offline distribution of the movie. In this regard, since "Weiming City Holiday" has not yet been released, Therefore, it was really impressive for everyone in the studio, so everyone nodded in approval and said that they would complete the construction as soon as possible.

After that, Ying began to explain his ppt, and even sent a demo called "Honkai Academy" to everyone's mailbox.

After briefly explaining "Honkai Academy", a content-oriented full-platform action game, Ying said: "Now, you can click on your email to download and experience this game for yourself."

In fact, most people in the conference room disapproved of it when he was talking about it in a colorful way with a PowerPoint slide.

These days, 4G has not yet been officially popularized, and there are only some small games on mobile phones such as Xiaoxiaole and Fruit Ninja. There are also some games such as Temple Escape and Subway Surfers, or they have been transplanted from PC. Pixel games like Cairo Game, large-scale 3D next-generation action full-platform games, even on PC and console platforms, there are only two or three companies that are doing well, and they are all well-received but not popular.

The first-class 3A masterpieces of other people only have a low sales volume of 500 million, but it is not easy for an Act stand-alone masterpiece to have [-] million copies. After all, not so many people like it, or are good at it.

But after all, this was mentioned by the screen director who has recently launched a niche sexual romance movie to hit the top spot in China's box office history. Moreover, the work is adapted from last summer's hit "Honkai Academy", which is itself There is an audience base, and the developer Counter-Entropy Technology has become famous in the special effects world with its rapid rendering skills. Therefore, no matter how unfavorable these people are, they will still patiently download the demo and try it out.

Afterwards, there was a wait of more than ten minutes.

Both downloading and installation take time.

Everyone’s internet speed and installation speed were similar, so everyone installed the trial demo almost at the same time and entered the game interface.

Then, the first scene in the opening scene was a girl with white hair and twin tails, jumping from the battleship in space and breaking into the battlefield below.

Just this opening made many people in the conference room sit upright.

This opening CG can definitely be called a killer first sight. If it can maintain this level later...

Later, when they officially entered the battle screen, they discovered that the characters that everyone could operate were exactly the same as the 3D cartoon-rendered characters in CG.

What are you doing?Is there any manufacturer that doesn’t engage in CG fraud these days?Especially when you play all-platform games on mobile phones...

You know, in the early stages of mobile gaming, in addition to the various casual games mentioned above, the most common ones on the market were web game transplants.

As for web games, there is a huge difference between the promotional video and the actual screen, and that’s all because of the basics.

Many promotional videos directly give you a one-finger explosion of the earth in "Asura's Wrath". When you click on the web game, you will find that it is still the legendary picture of a sword of 999, and the familiar golden big wings of a local tycoon...

[WEB] Chapter 178 We are together, @directorying

And just when Ying changed everyone's understanding of mobile games in the conference room through a short demo of "Honkai Academy", the outside world was already in trouble because of Alicia's two Weibo posts.

Today, the Weike app was squeezed by huge traffic and went down several times. The programmers were very busy in the computer room. The smoke rising above their heads looked even more spectacular than the smoke inside the computer room.

The most important thing is that the hair on the top of the head, which was already very sparse, has become bald.

Originally, Alicia's first Weibo post announcing her graduation as an idol caused an uproar.

Many fans began to miss their lost youth. While they were reluctant to let go of their idol's graduation and the departure of their own youth, they also sadly said goodbye to their idol and their own youth.

As a result, youth has just begun here, and Weike programmers have just expanded the capacity of the overcrowded server, thinking that they can take a good rest now.

However, the second Weibo posted by Alicia was even more important.

I'm sorry you announced your idol's graduation not because you want to focus on your acting career, but because you still remember that idols can't fall in love, so you announced your idol's graduation 3 minutes before announcing your relationship?

That's right, although the interval between Alicia's two Weibo posts was almost 10 minutes, the backend still detected it. Three minutes after the first Weibo was posted, Alicia's account tried to contact the server. She connected to post a second Weibo, but because the server was overwhelmed by the huge traffic at that time, her Weibo was not sent out at that time, but this was indeed the case.

This couldn't help but make Weike's programmers curse.

Isn't it hard enough?

What?Is that Alicia?

That's fine.

Since it was Alicia, what else could she do?Just bear with it!

You can't scold your own goddess, right?

Although, it seems that my goddess has become someone else’s, so I’m going to shed a handful of bitter tears.

Compared with the programmers who wanted to hate but couldn't, Alicia's fans were really confused.

That's right, confused in the literal sense.

Originally, they were sharing their star-chasing experiences over the years since they became fans of Alicia on the previous Weibo post, but suddenly they received a reminder to pay special attention to the new Weibo post.

Who else besides Alicia should I pay special attention to?

Some fans even began to guess in their minds that after posting on Weibo in such a short period of time, the next post would be Alicia directly saying that the previous Weibo announcing her graduation was a lie to them, right?

Not to mention, based on their understanding of Alicia, she can really do such a thing!

Other than that, the only things fans can think of are advertisements or movie promotions.

"Wei Ming City Holiday" has been released in China for a month, and it has successfully obtained the extension key. It can be released for one more month, and in the end it will be the first box office in film history.

In addition, some media have recently reported that "Wei Ming City Holiday" is ready for overseas release. Maybe Alicia will officially announce her next overseas promotion trip at this time?

However, fans who refreshed Alicia's WeChat account with various speculations were stunned when they saw the photos of Alicia wearing an apron and kissing Ying in home clothes.

what's going on?

Aren’t the movies already released?

Or is it that some scenes need to be reshot for the overseas version?

This is not impossible. For example, some movies on the other side of the ocean will prepare special editions in China?

"Weiming City Holiday" was originally shot to cater to the tastes of the people of China, so the filming was relatively subtle and restrained. Only at the final moment of separation did the two kiss once.

Overseas countries are much more unrestrained in this regard, so this may mean that they are planning to add a sex scene to attract overseas audiences to the cinema.

Moreover, Alicia is still wearing an apron. Doesn’t that mean that the overseas version has to make up for the regret that in the movie, Princess Anna said she can cook, but ministers generally don’t allow her to cook?

Forgive the fans, after receiving information that they didn’t want to admit, they immediately found various reasons and excuses for their idols.

Until they saw that the Weibo post not only had pictures, but also text - we are together, @directorying.

Director Ying is Ying's WeChat nickname. Many fans of Alicia are familiar with this account even if they have not followed it.

Coupled with the fact that the blond girl in the photo looks exactly like Reporter Elsa in the movie, fans finally had to face the fact that their idol announced her graduation because she was in love and could no longer continue her idol career.

In addition, some fans also gave other evidence in the hot comments, which completely shattered fans' illusions that this was a still.

That is, the background in the photo is clearly the study room of Alicia's home, and screenshots from previous variety shows and some home selfie backgrounds that Alicia herself has taken are attached as evidence.

Under this sudden impact, many fans started crying and howling under Alicia's Weibo.

Of course, they did not vent their malice, or insult or curse, but they just felt that it was too sudden, and some people began to make pranks on the pictures below, and changed Alicia's text into "We are together, @XXX" 】.

This XXX refers to the nickname of anyone who publishes p-pictures.

As time went by, more and more blessing comments were received, and it was promoted to the status of hot comment.

To be honest, for Alicia’s old fans and die-hard fans, they have actually been mentally prepared for a long time - starting from the hot search for Alicia’s photo with an unknown blond girl, from Alicia Starting from the inexplicable appearance in the credits of "Honkai Academy", starting from Alicia and Ying appearing in variety shows together, and starting from Alicia and Ying filming "Weiming City Holiday" …

In fact, there have been countless signs before that this time, Alicia treats this young director named Ying very differently.

Even with Eden, Alicia rarely had such frequent contact with her in terms of work outside of life.

Only this director can say that since the second week of the official filming of "Honkai Academy" at the end of July last year, the two parties have been quite inseparable.

Even for some fans who went back and reviewed the results, they all, without exception, came to a conclusion that was surprisingly similar to Mebius - why did Alicia spend so long? Did you just take down the camera?

Could it be that Alicia looks like an expert in love, but is actually a weakling when it comes to chasing people?

Chapter 179 Femiles and Jiuxiao

The disturbances from the outside world cannot affect the meeting at the Golden Courtyard Studio at all.

Not only computers, the attendees also tried to use mobile phones to play the demo of "Honkai Academy". As a result, the picture quality was only slightly degraded. In addition, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt to using mobile phones to rub glass and play action games. The tricks in this game are not as difficult to master as the Act masterpieces on PC and console. There are only four buttons on the screen: basic attack, ultimate move, dodge, and weapon, plus two buttons for switching roles.

Not to mention anything else, the switching character design commonly used in turn-based games can be seamlessly integrated into an action game. This is already an incredible feat.

After more than half an hour, everyone stopped playing with some unfinished content.

The main reason is that there are only so many demo levels for the time being, so even if they want to continue, they have no choice but to play.

Of course, not everyone likes action games. The main reason is that they can see that if this game appears on the market, it will definitely make people's eyes shine. If it is well run, its ability to attract money is probably not low.

I really didn’t expect that a director like Ying would have such advanced thinking when it comes to game production.

Of course, Ying, the producer, only proposed the game plan. The specific coding, modification of the underlying rendering pipeline of the engine, etc. were all done by the big guys from Anti-Entropy Technology.

"The game itself is already excellent, but since you are willing to expose it to us, is it because you have encountered any unsolvable difficulties?"

Eden is indeed a superwoman with a keen sense of business, and she can see through Ying's purpose at a glance.

@

Now that the demo has been well received by everyone, Ying stopped being pretentious and stated his request: "We don't lack anything else, except for a reliable producer and technical director. But, for the time being, He said that the people we are interested in either don’t like the anti-entropy technology or the cartoon rendering we do. So, we just want to see if there is any opportunity here for Sister Eden.”

Although the anti-entropy technology is very powerful, they started out in film and television special effects after all. Ying must be relieved to leave the post-production of special effects and even future feature-length animations to them.

But in terms of game production, before she proposed cooperation, there were only a dozen or so people working on technical reserves in Counter-Entropy Technology. The ability to come up with such a demo now is the result of efforts to expand recruitment and recruit people during this period. .

But if you want this game to be released as quickly as possible with high quality and quantity, game producers who can convey excellent design concepts to employees, and technical directors who provide various convenient and fast industrial pipelines are indispensable.

Otherwise, it would be strange to wait until the game is finished after a lot of hard work, but it will grow for more than half a year after it is launched. By then, the DAU (daily activity) will not plummet!

Moreover, for now, people from Anti-Entropy Technology can only support the realization of full-platform level-based gameplay. A simple open world like Yae Village can be done, but can it be applied to the mobile platform?Just wait until your phone becomes bricked!Optimization is definitely a difficult problem.

Optimizing this kind of thing is nothing else, it just depends on experience and time.

Therefore, having reliable producers and technical directors can save time on game production and give more time for optimization.

Hearing what Ying said, everyone in the office couldn't help but look at each other, and then expressed embarrassment.

After all, Golden Courtyard Studio has never been involved in the field of game publishing, and they have no connections in this area!

However, just when someone was thinking about whether to explain the situation tactfully, Eden suddenly said: "If you don't mind their young age, I can recommend two candidates to you. They are both They are computer geniuses who graduated from the junior class of Weiming University. Domestic Tianming Technology and Heyin Group, as well as foreign companies such as Cisco, Intel, and NVIDIA, all rushed to give them high-paying offers.

"However, their parents are quite worried about this. After all, the two girls are not very young, so they asked me to help with their advice. It just so happens that if your game project needs talents, I will inform them to go to Anti-Entropy Technology Let’s take a look at the situation. Although Counter-Entropy Technology’s offer is definitely not as attractive as the companies mentioned above, it is still a company with great potential, and if they are interested in the project, the possibility of success is not small.”

After hearing Eden's description, Ying's expression suddenly became strange.

She always felt that this setting was very familiar. In Alicia's words, this was probably another game character she was familiar with, right? !

So, Yingzhuang asked casually: "So, Sister Eden, can you tell me their names? I'll say hello to Anti-Entropy Technology here, so that they won't be given names by the front desk because of their young age after they pass by. If you stop me, you won’t be allowed in.”

Eden didn't notice anything unusual about Ying. After thinking about it, she felt that this was indeed a problem, and said: "The two of them, one is called Femiles and the other is called Jiuxiao. As the technical director, Femiles should It’s more than enough, and Jiuxiao can serve as a producer, conveying your and her own production concepts to the employees and showing them in the game.”

Ying Xin said as expected.

This person was young and a girl. She had long thought that the other person might be a character in "Honkai Academy 2", but now she was shocked.

However, Ying is not picky about this, or in other words, it is better for these roles that she "knows everything about".

She absolutely believed in Femiles's technology and Jiuxiao's producer standards.

As for the two of them, one is a little devil and the other is in the late stage of chuunibyou. Anyway, they are not working with her, so just let the people at Anti-Entropy Technology have a headache.

Soon, the meeting came to an end. In the end, Eden decided that after Golden Courtyard Studio was officially upgraded to a company, in the name of the new company, together with Anti-Entropy Technology and Ying Personal, the three parties would establish a subsidiary specifically for operations. In the future, games will be adapted from the IP provided by Ying.

Among these three parties, Eden contributed the money, Counter-Entropy Technology provided the people and technology, Ying provided IP authorization and some production concepts, and under Ying's strong suggestion, the company will not choose to go public in the future, but the equity of the three parties is still very clear , Ying holds 51% of the shares, occupying absolute control, and the remaining 49% of the shares are equally divided between Eden and Anti-Entropy Technology.

This is also for the sake of the company's safety. One person must have absolute control. In addition, these days, talents who provide creative ideas are the most important. Therefore, neither Eden nor Anti-Entropy Technology have any opinions on the distribution of equity.

Chapter 180 You are my legend, @爱利夏

After the meeting ended, Ying turned off the computer and opened the Weike app on her phone, intending to eat what Alicia had announced.

Then I saw 999+ in my private message...

When I clicked on it, I found that they were all asking her why she hadn't responded yet.

For this reason, someone even sent her a private message - If you are kidnapped by Alicia, just blink.
