On the Weiguang Game Platform, the ratings of several games have reached more than 9 points in a row. The ratings of "Demon in the World" which was originally dragged on, have also increased rapidly during this period.

However, some people in the studio were quite sorry that this game didn't make much money, and each copy was only sold for 10 yuan. In this way, the total amount of money was only six or seven million yuan. As a result, Zhong Ming waved his hand and donated it all.

So everyone's development of "The Devil in the World" is like a waste of time.

Of course, wages and daily benefits are paid as well, but project bonuses are definitely gone.

In response to this, Zhong Ming said that it doesn’t matter. The donated "The Devil in the World" will be made up for you sooner or later.

On the Moya Technology side, Lin Xiaoguang has looked for Zhong Ming several times, needless to say, discussing the new game.

The exclusive agreement for "Zodiac Guardian" was signed for three months and will be lifted by the end of August. At that time, this game will definitely be on some other platforms, at least on the PC side, Zhong Ming will definitely be on the Weiguang Game Platform.

The price is definitely still 150 yuan. At this point, both parties will definitely not be able to run with each other by reducing the price. However, if you go to other platforms, it will definitely not be as comfortable as before for the mgc2 handheld machine.

Originally, "The Devil in the World" was also on the mgc2 handheld platform, but Lin Xiaoguang also donated all the income from this game, so for Weiguang Studio and Moya Technology, this game is a waste of time.

Lin Xiaoguang is indeed facing a lot of pressure from senior management. The mgc2 handheld machine business unit wants to make a profit. Lin Xiaoguang can make the decision, but the premise is that he has to make more money.

None of the other game developers could count on it, and Lin Xiaoguang naturally found Zhong Ming again.

That means, the next game must be placed on the mgc2 handheld console! Even if it is not exclusive, it is good to enrich the game library.

...

Zhong Ming sat in his seat and thought about what happened next.

In the eyes of outsiders, Weiguang Studio has developed fast enough. After all, it has only been a year since Zhong Ming graduated, and he has made so many high-rated games. In the eyes of many major manufacturers, it is like riding a rocket.

But Zhong Ming feels that the architecture of the entire Weiguang Studio is still a little problem.

First of all, the profitability of the game is not very strong.

Although the current game has a good reputation and a good sales harvest, there is still a big gap between the harvest and the big boom. The most profitable one should be "The Guardian of Zodiac", which has brought tens of millions of income to Weiguang Studio. However, if measured by many krypton gold games in Zhong Ming's previous life, this income is actually not high.

Of course, it’s not that Zhong Mingcai is obsessed with making money, but it’s because the game industry is a capital-intensive industry.

In Zhong Ming's previous life, the cost of works like GTA5 was about 1.5 billion soft girl coins. Although the world is developed in technology, the standards for making 3A masterpieces have also been greatly improved. Whether it is a physics engine, picture or other details, the performance is better, so the R&D cost will not be lower at all. If you develop a top 3A masterpiece in this world, it is normal to invest a billion.

Investment is multifaceted, of course, the most important thing is top technicians, top engines, best materials, etc., which are not cheap.

If you don’t have money, it’s difficult to achieve many things you want to do, which is the biggest constraint.

Secondly, so far, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment has only one R&D group, which is Weiguang Studio. But in fact, some large R&D companies have several R&D groups that develop different projects separately, which can save a lot of time and cost.

Therefore, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment’s next goal is to open a new working group!

Zhong Ming has been thinking about this for a while, and then he will officially prepare.

"Jia Jia, come to the small conference room."

Zhong Ming called Jia Jia to the small conference room and asked him casually about his work.

"Everything is good. Are you going to start a new project?" Jia Jia asked.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, but before starting a new project, I plan to set up a new studio and you will be the designer. What do you think?"

"Ah?" Jia Jia was a little confused.

What's going on!

I have only been a few months since I joined the company, and I became the main designer in the blink of an eye???

The problem is, it hasn't been long since I entered the industry!

Jia Jia scratched her head: "This... can I do it?"

Zhong Ming smiled: "I think you can."

Jia Jia nodded: "Okay, I will definitely complete the task."

"However, there must be a new supervisor, that is, the producer, in terms of position, his position is higher than you, but don't worry, he is a Buddhist and will not interfere with your decisions too much. In terms of game design and operation, you will still be the main focus." Zhong Ming said.

"Oh, okay." Jia Jia nodded inexplicably.

"Okay, then let's do it first." Zhong Ming said, "Have you played a lot of krypton gold game?"

Jia Jia thought for a while: "I have played a few models, but it is actually not many."

Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay, after you go back, you can play a few more popular krypton gold games, recharge your own money, and experience the feeling of krypton gold."

"Then... will the company report it..." Jia Jia asked.

Zhong Ming smiled: "If you don't give me a reward, you can only experience the feeling of krypton gold with your own money. If you give me a reward, you will become a private server. Your mentality is different. OK, go and prepare."

After talking to Jia Jia, Zhong Ming took out his bracelet and called Director Xie, who had not seen him for a long time.

"Hey? Thank you, it's me, Zhong Ming. Have a meal together in two days? Yes, call Zhang Xiaowen, Zhu Yang and the others too."

...

A high-end restaurant around Guangyi Interactive Entertainment.

When Zhong Ming arrived, Lao Xie, Zhu Yang and Zhang Xiaowen had already arrived one after another.

"Brother Zhong!" Zhang Xiaowen was very happy to see Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming greeted everyone one by one and sat down in his seat.

All of us came here are acquaintances, all of whom were the backbone members of the previous "The Sea of ​​Learning" project. We had a good relationship with each other and were very kind after meeting.

"Zhongming, you are so awesome. Last time I watched the interview that Xingyou.com gave you, it was so easy." Zhu Yang sighed, "When I worked together before, why didn't I feel that you were so introverted?"

Zhong Ming laughed: "What a sulky person? I am a honest person. Every word I say is the truth, the kind that comes from the heart."

"You are still honest? Stop making trouble!" Zhu Yang said with a smile.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Of course, my advantage is honesty, and my disadvantage is being too honest!"

Zhang Xiaowen said: "Brother Zhong is amazing now. The "Zodiac Guardian" made by Weiguang Studio has become popular. He has received a high score of 9.5 points on IGP. It can almost be said to be a masterpiece. The key is the Chinese theme. This time he showed his face to the whole world. Brother Zhong, it is unreasonable that you don't treat him anymore!"

Zhong Ming smiled and said, "I will definitely treat you. Hey, how are you doing there?"

"It's okay, just like before, it's sloppy." Director Xie took a sip of tea. "After Director Bai left, the life of the "Sea of ​​Learning" project has been much better. At least I won't go to trouble anymore. Now I just accept some advertisements and make a stable profit of one or two million yuan every month. Everyone has bonuses. The company basically ignores the project. They are all very idle."

"It's just a little idle and ache." Zhang Xiaowen added.

Zhong Ming asked, "Don't you plan to start a new project?"

"You don't know what the company's senior management looks like." Manager Xie said helplessly, "When "The Sea of ​​Learning" was the most popular, he asked his leaders to open new projects and do regular bracelet games, not to mention now. Mr. Yu thought that our projects could only be used for similar puzzles or educational games, and other projects were not approved. But now there are really no good puzzles and educational games, and educational games can be used for education games. "The Sea of ​​Learning" has no ideas for not often. So we can only mix it up like this."

Zhong Ming nodded: "Then, do you want to come to me?"

Manager Xie was stunned: "Go to your place? Go to Weiguang Studio?"

"It's not Weiguang Studio. I plan to open another studio, which is considered to be a subsidiary of Weiguang Interactive Entertainment." Zhong Ming explained, "After you come here, you will be completely independent from Weiguang Studio. There are two different teams. Thank you, you will still be the supervisor and coordinate the project progress. As for the R&D content here, I will decide, but it will definitely be a serious game. In terms of salary... After everyone changes jobs, the salary will increase by 30%.

Zhang Xiaowen said in surprise: "Brother Zhong, can I go too?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Of course, everyone comes. Digging must be digging the entire team. Of course, I will always thank you for your decision in the end. After all, you are the supervisor, so you can take this opportunity to screen out the candidates and bring only those who have been satisfied with their cooperation. Those who are short of them can be recruited again."

Zhu Yang was also a little confused: "Zhong Ming, it's no small matter to poach so many people. Why don't you think about it again?"

Zhong Ming smiled: "I have thought about it a lot. I really didn't have the chance before. When Weiguang Studio first started, it really couldn't afford to support so many people, and there were not so many projects to do. I considered that you can still get a lot of bonuses for staying in the "Sea of ​​Learning" project team for the time being, so I didn't tell you. Now Weiguang Interactive Entertainment has this strength. If you want to open a new studio, you will definitely be given priority."

Manager Xie took a sip of tea: "Then, Mr. Yu must be angry."

Zhong Ming spread his hands: "Then let him lose his temper, what does it have to do with me?"

...

Guangyi Interactive Entertainment, Deputy General Office.

Manager Xie knocked on the door and entered.

"Mr. Lu, I am here to submit my resignation report, and there are Zhu Yang and Zhang Xiaowen of our project... a total of 17 people."

Lu Zhiqi was stunned. He looked up at Lao Xie, who looked serious, not like he was joking.

"Resign? Or are there so many people together? Lao Xie, can you... start your own business?"

It is normal for Lu Zhiqi to feel confused, because he never thought that such a thing would happen before!

Xie Jin is already in his fifties this year. In the gaming industry, he has not made any successful projects at this age, nor has he become a senior executive in a large company. It can be said that his career has come to an end. He has been a supervisor and managed some marginal projects until he retires. His life has almost passed like this.

To be poached? That is impossible. Now that the game industry is full of talents, who would spend money to poach a supervisor who is in his fifties and has no successful projects?

Therefore, when Lu Zhiqi heard that more than a dozen people in the project were going to leave together, his first reaction was that they wanted to start their own business.

But this is not reasonable. Manager Xie is already at this age, so why are he still creating a yarn?

Manager Xie did not answer positively, but just smiled: "Mr. Lu, you don't have to worry about where we will go in the future."

Lu Zhiqi wanted to speak again and opened his mouth twice, but still said nothing, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's go to the Human Resources Department to complete the procedures."

Lu Zhiqi originally wanted to persuade Director Xie to say a few words, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

Manager Xie has been in the gaming industry for so many years, and he doesn’t understand what the reason is? Whether he is poached or has made up his mind to start a business by himself, Manager Xie must be very clear about the risks here, and it is meaningless to persuade him.

Manager Xie put everyone's resignation report on Lu Zhiqi's table: "Mr. Lu, thank you."

To be fair, Lu Zhiqi is one of the few good leaders in Guangyi Interactive Entertainment. At that time, Zhong Ming was transferred from the "Mecha Era" project to the "Sea of ​​Learning" project, and it was also Mr. Lu who came forward.

Lu Zhiqi was silent for a moment: "Thank you, take care of yourself."

...

On August 20, Superintendent Xie and a group of old employees of the original "The Sea of ​​Learning" project officially joined Weiguang Interactive Entertainment.

A large number of new employees have been welcomed, and the workstations in the studio have been occupied by a large proportion.

The new studio and the previous Glimmer Studio are independent of each other, so they are also separated from each other in the workstations, but not far away.

On the day of the new employee's recruitment, Zhou Sen, Brother Dahui, Jiang Wanna and others warmly welcomed Lao Xie and others. Zhong Ming asked Miaozhu to book a place nearby for a big meal, which was considered to be a welcome to join.

The original architecture basically remained unchanged, but in the new studio, Lao Xie was still the supervisor, but the main designer became Jia Jia, and Zhu Yang served as the world architect, responsible for project progress, plot structure and other related content.

Zhu Yang had no complaints about this. Anyway, he could make more money and make good games.

Zhu Yang also has a clearer understanding of himself. He is actually not suitable for being a designer. He can complete the assigned tasks relatively well, but he lacks creativity. Zhong Ming's arrangement is also to make the best use of his talents as much as possible.

At the dining table, everyone was eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very warm.

"Hey, Zhong Ming, does the new studio have a name?" asked Director Xie.

Zhang Xiaowen also nodded: "Yes, Brother Zhong, the new studio must also be named, why not Xuehai Studio!"

Zhang Xiaowen's proposal was quickly shot back by Zhu Yang and others: "That's a bad Xuehai Studio, it's so ugly!"

Zhong Ming smiled: "I have a name, Tianji Studio. The sky in the sky, the aurora's extreme."

"Tianji Studio? Well, this name is OK." Zhu Yang savored it carefully, "It feels like looking into the distance and looking up at the sky, and the meaning is good."

"Tianji Studio, Tianji Studio..." Zhang Xiaowen repeatedly muttered.

Jia Jia looked at Zhong Ming's mysterious expression without saying a word and asked in a low voice: "Boss, what does this name mean?"

Zhong Ming smiled: "Secret."

What everyone doesn't know is that the name "Tianji" has its origin.

The beauty of the sky, the northern lights, the photons, these names are combined to make it the sky.
