MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 33
The conference room was quickly filled with relevant personnel.
Song Ci, Yan Cen, Bo Yueming and Pei Yi sat in the four main seats in the front row, while Ke Ming and Li Yu'an led their own teams and sat on the left and right sides of the second row.
Yan Cen's assistant, Shen Na, was in charge of the bidding process. After confirming that the relevant projection equipment had been turned on, she asked the persons in charge of both project teams, "Which party wants to start first?"
Ke Ming raised his hand to signal, giving up the initiative in a seemingly friendly way, "Mr. Li, you go first?"
Li Yu'an didn't care about the order, the sooner he finished speaking, the sooner he could relieve his inner tension.
He exchanged glances with Lou Yang next to him. He didn't bother to pay attention to Ke Ming, but just looked at Shen Na and signaled, "Let's go first."
"good."
Ke Ming, who was neglected, didn't show much displeasure. During the preparation time of more than a week, he once sent someone to Liming Game to secretly check the news—
Li Yu'an's "End Mist" project seems to be a game in cooperation with outsiders, and the company has not made any preparations for it.
Judging from the previous preliminary screening, they currently only have conceptual plots, and they have not even established character images and game models.
Dare to take out such an immature game to attract investment? Isn't this just an empty glove white wolf?
Ke Ming confidently believes that "Alien Beast" produced by their Youming Studio is the highlight, so it is natural to put it in the latter place.
Only when there is a comparison, can the advantages and disadvantages be reflected. This must be a crushing game!
Ke Ming seemed to have seen the result of this doomed competition, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
Suddenly, he encountered an unexpected gaze—
Pei Yi rested her chin on the table with one hand, and stared at him slightly with her head tilted. Those innocent and harmless eyes seemed to know everything, and a cold light flashed through them, which was aimed at him.
"..."
Ke Ming's heart trembled suddenly.
When he reacted again, Pei Yi was still sitting obediently, counting the snacks on the table with his fingertips, with a silly smile on his lips.
It seemed that the brief eye contact just now was just his own illusion.
"grass."
Thinking that he was stunned by the eyes of a fool, Ke Ming gritted his teeth and cursed very softly.
Pei Huan at the side noticed his strangeness and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Ke Ming approached him and whispered, "Then isn't your silly cousin and Bo Yueming just married? Why did the other party bring him on such a serious occasion?"
Just now in the lounge, he had a rough understanding of the identities and relationship between Bo Yueming and Pei Yi.
Pei Huan shook his head and looked towards the head row.
He didn't know how to describe it, the moment he got out of the elevator and saw Bo Yueming and Pei Yi, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Ke Ming, tell me the truth, is there any problem with this bidding?"
Ke Ming affirmed, "No problem, I have been creating Youming Studio for so long, when did I miss it?"
Sitting on the far side, Xiang Nansheng listened silently to the discussion between the two of them. A trace of hesitation flickered in his eyes, but he suppressed it quickly.
…
Pei Yi, who was sitting in his seat, ignored the movement on Ke Ming's side. He glanced at Li Yu'an, who was distributing materials and connecting with PPT, and felt that "priority to play" was very good.
After all, in the case of similar background settings, it is easy to remember the preconceptions. As for the animal modeling that the other party wants to highlight, there may be "surprise surprises" to come out.
While thinking, Pei Yi took a sip of the juice.
sweet and sour~
Although it's not as good as his favorite red wine, isn't it better than coffee? comfortable!
Bo Yueming watched Pei Yi's every move from the corner of his eyes, and after hearing the gurgling noise, he couldn't help being distracted and asked in a low voice, "Is it good?"
Pei Yi nodded slowly. He remembered the glass of juice that Bo Yueming drank in the restaurant last time, pretending to be a food protector and nervous, "No, not for the second brother."
Bo Yueming cooperated with him in acting, "Well, I'll give you all."
In less than half a minute, Li Yu'an, who had finished his preparations, rang the opening remarks, "Good afternoon, everyone, I am the project leader of the game "The Last Mist", Li Yu'an."
"Next, I will elaborate on the core competitiveness of the game "End Mist", the market promotion plan, and the channel division of investment amounts that may be involved in the future."
Li Yu'an's voice is cold, and after being rendered by the microphone, it has a sense of indifference and seriousness, which is very suitable for such an occasion.
The background setting of "The Last Mist" has not changed much, but in order to increase the player's choice, Pei Yi, as the architect of the worldview, expanded the "game protagonist" from a single character to six different backgrounds——
There are retired special forces, serious and powerful, familiar with various terrains, firefights and close combat.
A talented scientist, rigid and rigorous, familiar with the composition and power of various chemical ammunition.
There is a sassy accountant who is smart, courageous, and possesses the most powerful mental arithmetic ability and logical power.
There are cute children, pure and friendly, who can easily contact any creature without being attacked.
There are also wealthy people who are timid and save their lives when things happen, they are well-informed and have the most accurate sixth sense.
The most mysterious character setting is a human zombie who has been recruited, with red eyes, white skin and green blood, bloodthirsty but restrained. He maintains the basic human thinking, but forgets his "before death" memory.
These six game corners represent different attributes, but they will start at the same starting point, and their first-round goals are the same—
That is to arrive at Huaguo No. 1 underground city before June 16th.
"The Last Mist 1.0" is a single-player level-breaking mini-game. All kinds of tools can be obtained and used in the form of cards. The adventure dungeon is divided into six levels.
All in all, the production difficulty will be far lower than that of ordinary mobile games and end games, and the initial investment does not require a lot of start-up funds, and the requirements for the server are not high. The focus is to broaden the market audience channels.
Of course, if the 1.0 version goes well, the various modeling extensions and refinements of 2.0, and even the overall upgrade of the entire copy can be carried out within three months, and when the internal test, public test and even the official launch—
Players can choose to integrate the achievements of version 1.0 into version 2.0, or choose to start over, which is very random.
…
Li Yu'an was well prepared in advance, and even if there were any loopholes, Pei Yi's "Will" vest had been firmly plugged in.
He gave full play to the advantages of the university's investment major. When it comes to the external expansion and internal upgrade of the game, he will attach the most clear and clear investment amount as auxiliary content.
Although the technical level that is not in place for the time being is simplified, it is almost perfect in other aspects.
When Li Yu'an finished stepping down, Pei Yi used the mask of 'playing stupid' to applaud especially enthusiastically.
Although you can't give your own help on the bright side, at least you can't fall behind in actions.
"..."
Bo Yueming heard the kitten next to him clapping, and deliberately teased him, "Do you understand this game? The clapping is so loud, be careful that your hands will hurt later."
On the surface, Pei Yi shook her head and said nothing, but the villain in her heart was holding her head high -
He masters the plot and games of the frame, can he not understand?
It's amazing!
Pei Yi didn't mind soliciting votes for her game, so she tugged at the corner of Bao Yueming's clothes, trying to sneak through the "back door", "Second brother, this is good."
Bo Yueming has a steelyard in his heart.
But after all, it is on a company occasion, before the comparison between the two is formally produced, he can't be too decisive.
"I know, be good."
The last three words were bitten extremely lightly, as if there was still a trace of pampering hidden in them.
Pei Yi's ears were reddened by Su, she immediately took a sip of the juice, and obediently stopped talking.
…
Yan Cen's assistant got up again and signaled, "Mr. Ke, it's your studio's turn."
Ke Ming smiled and nodded, signaling to Xiang Nansheng next to him to take the stage together. Before leaving his seat, he patted his friend Pei Huan on the shoulder with a calm and confident expression.
After some preparations, Ke Ming, as the general manager of the project, spoke first, "Hi everyone, first let me briefly explain the basic concept and plot setting of the game "Alien Beast."
Ke Ming closed his neckline, and put on a serious face that he explained confidently, but it was just as Pei Yi expected——
"The Last Mist" and "Alien Beast" have similar background settings, and even the latter has almost the same game settings abroad.
Therefore, after Ke Ming finished explaining, Bo Yueming and other high-level executives looked calm, and even the project team staff who were listening in did not respond extraneously.
In order to reduce the burden on his eyes, Bo Yueming closed his eyes and only tapped the table twice, "Continue."
Two words without emotional fluctuations.
"..."
There was a crack in the confidence on Ke Ming's face, but he quickly suppressed it, "Okay, next, the director of our studio, Xiang Nansheng, will explain the core of the game "Alien Beast" carefully. feature."
Xiang Nansheng pushed his thick black-rimmed glasses and took over the task.
The core of "Alien Beast" lies in the modeling of various creatures. Compared with the flat display at the initial screening, this time it directly puts various three-dimensional modeling and animations on the display table.
From the alien butterfly with wings turned into sharp blades, to the fat mouse with fangs, to the giant anaconda covered in venom, from the strange combination of griffin and face.
All the alien monsters flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, and swimming in the water were vividly displayed in front of everyone.
Compared with the flat display printed on paper, the modeling displayed in animation is obviously more intuitive and shocking.
The staff members of the project team sitting in the back row were all surprised.
Standing on the stage, Ke Ming took everyone's looks into his eyes, regained his confidence, and couldn't help interjecting, "The art team and technical team of our studio have devoted themselves to research and design for more than half a year. So far, we have created 20 Modeling an alien beast."
"Of course, they are all original designs."
Listening to Ke Ming's interjection, Xiang Nansheng's eyes covered by thick glasses flashed unnaturally.
Hearing the whispered exclamation from the staff behind, Pei Yi deliberately "dropped" two toffees in his pocket on the ground, and by bending over to pick up the candies, he quickly glanced at his oblique backside —
Li Yu'an held the documents in his hands silently, and his eyebrows and eyes, which had been stretched, showed signs of solemnity again.
He has always known that the opponent's greatest advantage is in modeling, but it happens to be a technical level that he and Liming Company cannot reach in a short period of time.
In Li Yu'an's view, Will's game setting is already in line with the basic plot elements of the release. If this bidding fails, the fault must lie with himself.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Lou Yang stared at the modeling display on the screen for a moment, his eyes had completely changed.
…
The investment of the two groups of projects has come to an end.
Assistant Shen Na glanced at the time, "Then let's go here first today, and our company will notify you by email when the high-level discussions come to an end..."
Before the lingering sound was over, Bo Yueming said simply and neatly, "There's no need to make those detours, it's just a matter of choosing one of the two, let's vote on the spot."
As the top executive of G.M's absolute holding, Bo Yueming has always had the right to speak. He took advantage of no one to refute, and directly stated his choice.
"I am more interested in the background setting of "The Last Mist". I think the world view architect of this game is more creative, and the control of the market audience is also very precise."
Pei Yi at the side heard Bo Yueming's praise, took a mouthful of pudding, and smiled happily.
For every architect of the game world view, there is nothing more gratifying than the affirmation of the work.
Sure enough, he was the villain I was looking for, not only handsome, but also with good aesthetic taste!
At this moment, Bo Yueming didn't know what Pei Yi was thinking, and he voted this vote after consideration——
Yu Gong, the story logic and creativity of "The Last Mist" are generally strong, and the "ladder" development model is more conducive to the expansion of the Huaguo market. Of course, Liming Company's current situation is more favorable for them to invest in and control G.M.
In private, Pei Huan joined the main creative team of "Alien Beast". Regardless of whether the other party's title in the studio is true or not, Bo Yueming is unwilling to have anything to do with such a deep-minded person, and the other party has a bright face with Bo Guancheng on business cooperation.
Hearing that Bo Yueming took the lead in "The Last Mist", Ke Ming frowned briefly, but due to the occasion and the identity of the other party, he only dared to complain silently in his heart—
Sure enough, he was blind.
Unbelievable level of modeling excellence in their studio!
Is this kind of person worthy of sitting at the top of the company? You should resign yourself to your fate and stay at home and continue to be blind!
Just thinking about it, Song Ci, who is the chief operating officer and shareholder of G.M, also expressed his opinion, "From the perspective of publicity, I would be more inclined to "Alien Beast."
"Their biological modeling is indeed outstanding and mature, and it can be used as a highlight in the future to attract game audiences. As for the setting of "The Last Mist", it is very good, but the text is far more conceptual than the currently visible content."
From the perspective of marketing promotion, Song Ci's words are very pertinent.
Both Pei Yi and Li Yu'an knew the current shortcomings of their game, they acquiesced and respected her choice.
After Ke Ming heard Song Ci's choice, the corners of his mouth that had been down had a tendency to rise again. Originally, he felt—
Making on-the-spot decisions in front of both sides of the game project team is too aggressive and decisive, but after thinking about it, the more straightforward the result, the more it can highlight his success and Li Yu'an's failure on the spot.
Why not do it?
Ke Ming glanced at Pei Huan, who he called to listen in and make connections, and added, "Yes, Pei Huan in our studio has also considered this aspect of publicity."
"Moreover, a large part of the 20 models of character creatures that we have formed are actually derived from his opinions."
When he said this, he looked specifically at Yan Cen, who was from the same school as Pei Huan.
"..."
Looking at the eyes gathered from all directions, Pei Huan, who had never received this level of information, paused in thought.
How does he know these things?
But in this kind of occasion, he can't temporarily dismantle the opponent's platform, and if the bidding is successful, the title of the name will be more famous in the future.
Pei Huan looked at Ke Ming's confident fabrication, smiled and acquiesced to this rhetoric.
"The current vote is a one-to-one tie." Ke Ming took the initiative to cue the process, and looked at Yan Cen, the only one who hadn't made a decision yet, "Boss Yan, what do you think?"
"..."
Calculating all possible interpersonal relationships, this person is really shrewd to the bone.
The corner of Pei Yi's mouth, which was stained with cream, curved into a sneer, and after pursing her lips, she maintained that dazed look.
Bo Yueming noticed Pei Yi's short-lived true emotions, and his desire to explore became more intense. Before he could think about it, a slow but firm voice came from the far right.
"Before the results of this bidding are officially announced, can I express some personal thoughts?"
Yan Cen, who was about to vote for "The Last Mist", was startled when he heard this.
Immediately, Bo Yueming spoke instead of them, "Ms. Lou? Please tell me."
Lou Yang glanced at Li Yu'an, and decided to say, "Frankly speaking, the reason why "The Last Mist" wants to reach an investment cooperation with G.M—"
"It's because the current funds are limited, but it doesn't mean that there is no modeling ability and design innovation, and the marketing promotion is more than this entry point. Mr. Song's choice is understandable, but not necessarily right."
