Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 81

  Chapter 81 A little rebate shock

   In the blink of an eye, Monday night.

  Golden Wind Game Company, Game Director Office.

  Gu Sheng is holding the controller and playing the game with concentration.

  Actually, according to regulations, Golden Wind's off-duty time is five o'clock.

  But Gu Sheng is more used to staying in the office until seven or eight o'clock before leaving.

   Not working, just to stay in the company for a while, whether it is to brush your phone, make a cup of tea and watch videos, or even plug in the controller and play two games of Vampire Survivor like today.

  Anyway, he feeds the whole family by himself.

   Instead of going home and facing an empty room, alone in a daze at a loss, it is better to stay in the company for a while.

  At least, it seems reasonable to be alone in the office.

   Whoosh whoosh—

   Bass!

  As the death scythe cut off the small skull on the screen, Gu Sheng also put down the handle.

  He raised his hand and looked at his Mickey watch. It was almost eight o'clock.

   "Let's go, go home."

   Muttering something, Gu Sheng put away the handle, stood up and walked out of the office.

  It just came out!

  Gu Sheng couldn't help but whispered softly: "Fuck, I'm so violent...Did I see the Palace of the King of Hell?"

   See you!

  In the conference room at the end of the corridor, there was a light shining at this moment.

To know!

  Their Golden Wind's conference room is usually a decoration, basically not used once in two or three months.

   It is not even an exaggeration to say that Nezha used it as a private theater more times than he held meetings.

   Therefore, the lights are not turned on in the meeting room at ordinary times, and most of the time it is vacant.

   Available today!

  It's almost eight o'clock in the evening!

  The meeting room is still lit?

  The most important thing is, why is the color of the light red?

  The office under the darkness of night, the end of the empty corridor, and the scary conference room with red lights.

   Gollum.

   Rao Gu Sheng was so courageous, he couldn't help swallowing at this moment.

  Thinking that Qingming Festival has just passed for a week, Gu Sheng couldn't help being a little skeptical:

   "What is this... the first seven commendation conference?"

  Thinking, Gu Sheng stepped forward and tiptoed to the door of the meeting room emitting red light.

   Gently pushed the door open a crack, peeking at it.

   See you, on the conference table, there is an ipad poked, and a plugged-in red candle on the left and right sides.

   And in front of the ipad, there was a disposable paper cup with three slim cigarettes stuck in it.

  Little Nezha, who was so strangely reflected by the red light, was standing in front of the ipad at this moment, clasped his hands together, and muttered in his mouth, as if he was muttering something.

   For a moment, Gu Sheng was a little at a loss.

   But just when he was hesitating whether to turn around and leave or open the door to ask.

  Little Nezha finished his muttering, bowed three times to the ipad, and then opened his eyes.

   For a moment, the four eyes met.

   There is a brief dead silence.

   "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

  Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Shen Miaomiao screamed, and her whole body jumped up:

   "Gu Sheng, why are you acting like a ghost?!"

   "Me? Like a ghost?"

  Gu Sheng couldn't believe his ears, pushed the door open, turned on the front camera of the phone, and turned the screen towards Shen Miaomiao:

   "Come on let me show you a baby—"

   "Oh my god!"

  Seeing the 'female ghost' with distorted face and strange red eyes flashing on the screen, Shen Miaomiao backed up again and again, and fell down on the sofa with a thud:

"ghost!"

   "Then it's you **** yourself."

   Gu Sheng's head was full of black lines, and he turned back to turn on the lights in the meeting room.

  Looked at the disposable paper cup censer on the conference table, and then at Shen Miaomiao who was still in shock, patted her chest and panted.

"so…"

  Gu Sheng is really a little confused about the situation in front of him:

   "Are you summoning something?"

   "What kind of words! What kind of words is this!"

  After hearing this, Shen Miaomiao was not happy, she stood on her hips from the sofa, and stretched out her hand to gesture for the iPad on the table:

   "The God of Wealth, I dare not talk nonsense!"

  Hearing this, Gu Sheng turned his head to look, and saw on the ipad, there was a picture of a **** statue of Master Guan.

"…Wow."

  Gu Sheng was silent for a long time before he let out an admiration:

   "What a **** cyberway to burn incense."

   "Conditions...limited,"

  Shen Miaomiao was also a little embarrassed and scratched her head:

   "The main thing is that sincerity leads to spirit."

   "Then I'll say bye too,"

  Seeing Shen Miaomiao's embarrassing appearance, Gu Sheng felt amused, and stood in front of Master Saiboguan, clasping his hands together:

   "Master Guan is here, bless us with the wind of gold and prosperity, and all works are sold well..."

   "Hey, shut up, you!"

  Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao's scalp became numb, and she jumped up with one stride, pulling Gu Sheng.

   Immediately after taking the tablet, the screen was locked with a snap!

  Why is your mouth so short!

  Shen Miaomiao wrinkled her little nose and glared at Gu Sheng!

  How can such a wish be granted! How bad luck!

  Gu Sheng was stunned!

   "You put Wu Caishen in the tablet...?"

   "Because this is my God of Wealth!"

  Shen Miaomiao hugged the tablet tightly, for fear that Gu Sheng would make any more unlucky wishes:

   "You can't use my God of Wealth to make a wish!"

   "...Okay ok ok, your Martial God of Wealth,"

  Seeing Shen Miaomiao's coquettish and angry look, Gu Sheng smiled and raised his hands in surrender, and then asked:

   "Then can I ask you about your mental journey of paying homage to Master Guan in the meeting room at night? I just came out of the office and thought I saw the first seven party."

   "Because the first week's sales results of Left 4 Dead are about to come out!"

  Shen Miaomiao raised her neck:

   "I'll let Master Guan bless us, can't I?"

   "Ah... don't bother Master Guan about this matter..."

   Gu Sheng shrugged:

   "Our sales volume is now the number one, and the profit is certain. What else can we worship?"

   What Gu Sheng said is correct.

  From the perspective of the company and the market, the success of today's road to survival is beyond doubt.

  After all, among the FPS works that were released at the same time as them, the most capable one is Guangyao Studio's Fearless Sniper.

   But now, through a creative workshop module, the fearless sniper that has been chasing them madly has been stepped on by them.

   It can be said that in the domestic FPS market of the same period, they are no longer rivals.

   It is precisely because of this that this time, everyone in the Golden Wind didn't pay much attention to the first week's sales, and they all went home from get off work on the settlement day.

   But Shen Miaomiao's words were astonishing!

   "It's too small! Your layout is too small!"

  Little Nezha put his akimbo on his hips, awe-inspiring:

   "What I care about is whether we can achieve the first week's payback!"

   In a way, she wasn't talking nonsense.

   After all, with her 100 times rebate card in hand, as long as she loses one dollar in the game, her small coffers will receive one hundred dollars.

  So, she begged Master Guan to bless her so that she would lose more or less, even if it was 10,000, she would still get a million.

   But in Gu Sheng's eyes!

  Her image instantly grew taller, shining brightly!

   "Hiss—"

  Hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but gasp!

   Really deserves to be from a prominent family!

   Just when this group of people was still satisfied with the current achievements of Left 4 Dead!

  Mr. Shen has already begun to expect the game to create a miracle of returning money in a single week!

have a look! have a look!

  This is my position! People's idea! This pattern of people!

high! hard! Tall and hard!

  Gu Sheng is more and more grateful that he has joined the Golden Wind!

   Here, he not only has enough money to squander, make his favorite games, even upgrade those classic games!

   Moreover, the company has a good environment, enough food and drink, enough wages, and you can fish at work!

  Even, the boss can't bear to increase KPI for them, and if they have any expectations, they can only make a wish through the metaphysical way of burning incense and worshiping Buddha!

   Just such a company, where else can I find it? !

  Gu Sheng asked himself.

   Even if you start your own company, you can't be as friendly and open-minded as Mr. Shen!

  What a good boss...

  Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Shen Miaomiao cautiously ask: "Old Gu, then you said that our work...can we get back the money in the first week?"

"Um-"

  Hearing the words, Gu Sheng looked serious and pondered for a moment:

   "If there is no fearless sniper to disrupt the situation, it should not be difficult to pay back the first week,"

   "However, their publicity when they first launched, coupled with their subsequent pursuit of us, still affected our sales to a certain extent,"

   "But don't worry, even if you can't achieve the first week's payback, it's probably not much worse."

  Gu Sheng's words made Shen Miaomiao both happy and anxious!

To know!

  Lao Gu's judgment on the market has always been very accurate.

  He said that it was difficult to pay back the first week, so it should not be able to pay back.

  However, he also said that even if he didn't get his money back, it wouldn't be much worse…

  Then how much is this?

   But **** it, don't lose a quarter or eighty cents to her like the vampire did that time, and get a hundred and eighty cents back!

   If the final settlement result comes out, she will lose one yuan and give her a rebate of one hundred yuan. She may have to open the window and go downstairs on the spot!

   is talking!

  Dididi—Dididi—

  The alarm clock that Shen Miaomiao had set before rang!

  Gu Sheng raised his hand and looked at Mickey's watch: "There is still the last minute, let's take a look together?"

"Um!"

  Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

  Then, the two turned their heads at the same time and looked at the large projection screen in front of the meeting room!

   There is the backstage page of Yiyou's developer!

  Ten, nine, eight, seven...

  Shen Miaomiao swallowed nervously, her heart was pounding, and she closed her eyes: "Old Gu, Lao Gu, report the data to me."

"OK,"

  Gu Sheng nodded, then softly counted down the last three numbers:

   "Three, two, one..."

   Click!

  Background page refreshes data every hour!

   Looking at the final weekly data summary, Gu Sheng pursed his lips, and then said in a deep voice:

   "The cost of Left 4 Dead is 10.85 million yuan, the unit price is 85 per copy, and the final sales data of the first week is:"

   "158,088 copies, the total sales volume is 13,437,480 yuan, after deducting commission, the final profit is—"

   "10.75 million yuan,"

   "...Unfortunately, it's only 100,000 yuan short of paying back."

   A full five seconds!

   There was dead silence in the meeting room!

   Next!

   Then she heard Shen Miaomiao's trembling voice with her eyes closed tightly: "...how much do you say?"

   "10.75 million."

   "No, the last sentence."

   "I said—it's a pity, it's only 100,000 yuan short of the return. If the **** Guangyao didn't disrupt the situation, we would definitely have paid back the first week..."

   Shen Miaomiao could no longer hear what Gu Sheng said next.

   She carefully opened her eyes a little, and peeked at the large projection screen.

   Above is their first week's results, and Gu Sheng's report is accurate.

   Next second.

  Shen Miaomiao just heard a beautiful crisp sound coming from her mind!

【Ding! time up! This round of investment settlement is complete! 】

   Immediately afterwards, the system settlement interface appeared—

【Ding! Project loss detected! 】

  【Project: Left 4 Dead】

  【Project investment amount: 10.85 million yuan】

  【Project loss amount: 100,000 yuan】

【Ding! The Super Guarantee Card is in effect! 100 times rebate bonus use! 】

  【Project rebate amount: 10 million yuan】

  【Remaining settlement time: 0】

【Ding! The loss settlement is completed, and the rebate has been issued to the host's personal bank card! 】

   Then, the phone in Shen Miaomiao's hand vibrated!

   buzz—

  【Your debit card account 1118, deposit 10,000,016.00 yuan in mobile banking on April 15th...】

Ten million! !

thick! present! crab!

  Shen Miaomiao's intuitive head buzzed!

   Repeatedly read the account number of the bank card twice!

   Over there, Gu Sheng was still looking at the big screen and analyzing on his own:

   "It's okay, although it didn't reach the first week's profit, but after all, the total investment of the game is here,"

   "The larger the investment project, the longer the profit cycle,"

   "Besides, during this period, Guangyao Games has been blocking us in publicity and distribution, which has led to insufficient media publicity and distribution, basically relying solely on word of mouth from players,"

   "In this case, in the subsequent announcement process, we need to try our best..."

   "Old Gu!!"

   Not finished!

   Hearing Shen Miaomiao's voice, interrupting his thoughts, his tone was full of suppressed excitement!

"ah?"

  Gu Sheng didn't look back, but continued to look at the screen, analyzed it in his head, and answered casually:

"What's wrong?"

   "This sales volume is already exciting enough."

  Behind him, Shen Miaomiao put away her mobile phone, and looked at Gu Sheng with a pair of big watery eyes, a bright brilliance flickered in them, her small mouth was slightly raised, as if she was about to laugh out loud in the next second.

   "Yes," Gu Sheng replied a little absent-mindedly, as if thinking about the future direction of development: "Really excited?"

  Shen Miaomiao nodded vigorously: "I'm really excited!"

   "Oh, how excited are you?" In order not to let the words fall to the ground, Gu Sheng responded casually.

  Then, Shen Miaomiao replied from behind: "Yes—"

   Talking!

   Shen Miaomiao stepped back two steps, then slightly bent her knees and squatted down, as if about to jump long.

   Immediately afterwards, aiming at Gu Sheng, he dashed out, his lithe body leaping vertically!

   "Hey! So excited! Hahahaha—!!"

  Shen Miaomiao succeeded in sneak attack, and found herself a mount on the spot!

   Ten million, ten million!

To know!

   It has been a year since she got the system!

  And in this year, the maximum amount of rebate she got was only 50 yuan!

  So, how could the 10 million rebate not make her excited!

   "Oh shit!"

   Gu Sheng only felt a peach-like fragrance coming from behind him!

   Immediately afterwards, two slender arms wrapped around his neck!

   When he stabilized his figure, he realized that Shen Miaomiao was already hanging on him!

   "No? Why are you riding me so excited?!"

   "This is called Spring Breeze's triumphant horseshoe rush! Let's cooperate!"

  Shen Miaomiao patted Gu Sheng's shoulder:

   "Forget it, I don't understand if I tell you, please!"

   "You belong to the boss corporal punishment of employees!"

  Gu Sheng was dissatisfied and protested.

   "Physical punishment!" Shen Miaomiao retorted: "I'm only less than ninety catties, not ninety catties!"

   "But I'm a director after all, and there are five people and six people every day. I'm an executive outside. This has to be seen by others, and it will have a lot of influence..."

   "Please eat, you can order whatever you want."

   "Then... I will carry you downstairs at most!"

   "Can I order a song?"

   "That's too much, Shen Miaomiao, have you ever seen someone whose mount opened his mouth to talk, I'm not a rocker!"

   "Add a deluxe iced drink!"

   "Daddy's daddy is called Grandpa..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…"

   is making noise!

   Then Gu Sheng's phone rang.

  Amidst Shen Miaomiao's excited laughter, Gu Sheng answered the phone:

   "Hello, I'm Gu Sheng."

  A male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hi, Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to bother you, I'll call you today..."

"I do not need it, thank you."

   Gu Sheng heard that it was just a telemarketing call, so he said sorry and hung up the phone.

   Then he pushed the door open and walked out of the meeting room with little Nezha...

  PS: Little Nezha rode his director mount and waved: Ask for a monthly pass! !
