Chapter 525 Mascot
When Su Chengyi walked downstairs to the studio, he saw a group of young people waiting in line to check in next to the "Disco Elysium" billboard.
Compared with the abstract style of the original version, the style of this version designed by Miss Chu herself is more beautiful. Although it lacks a bit of crazy temperament, it is easier to accept.
This is one of the reasons why this billboard will become a place for new Internet celebrities to check in.
Su Chengyi stopped downstairs to watch for a while. The boys queuing up to take pictures noticed him and quickly asked enthusiastically:
"Do you need help taking pictures?"
Maybe he was a poor guy who came alone so he couldn't take pictures and check in.
Su Chengyi thought for a while, smiled and nodded.
“Thank you then.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay!”
The boy was wearing a sunhat and had a clear college student temperament when he smiled.
Su Chengyi walked to the billboard and made a scissor gesture.
“Click.”
“Okay, okay, wow, buddy, you are so handsome.”
The boy handed the phone back to him and couldn’t help it. sighed.
"You're handsome too."
Su Chengyi took the phone and started a business exchange.
“Since you are here to take pictures, have you bought this game?!”
The boy in the sun hat is obviously a social cow, and he started talking to himself.
Su Chengyi was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.
"If you have the conditions, you must buy it and play it! You won't lose money if you invest in it!
I really, really like this game. After playing it, I couldn't get out of it for a long time. I'm almost addicted to it now. I’m so sick!
This time I saw a place specifically for check-in, and I took the subway for fifty minutes to come here to see it.”
The boy kept talking to him. Amway played "Disco Elysium".
Su Chengyi heard this funny and nodded frequently.
This may be the advantage of independent buy-out games. Most players will give rational and fair evaluations, and those who are not satisfied with the brainwave will be refunded in time.
Some big money-making game companies are different. It is difficult to see real fans online except for online fans, let alone those who come to check in offline.
There are no fans. There are a lot of victims of the game who claim to "blow up the headquarters", "shield at the door" and "self-explode a truck".
However, when it comes to profitability, the big manufacturers are definitely far ahead.
“It’s a pity that the studio is too Buddhist! It doesn’t sell peripherals or anything like that, it all relies on lottery draws from fans!! Don’t even think about it for non-Emirates like me.
I especially want to buy the same model of Jin Jingjing’s flight jacket. It’s so handsome. Hey, buddy, do you work here? Have you ever met the boss of X1 Studio?
There are rumors on the Internet that he is very young and is still studying. I don’t know if it is true or not, but I think it is unlikely. After all, anyone who can make this kind of game must have some experience."< br>
“Maybe. "
Su Chengyi laughed and looked down at his watch.
"Sorry, it's getting late. I have to go to work. See you later. ”
"Ah! Sorry, sorry, I can't stop chatting."
The boy in the sunhat scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Bye!!"
He took off his hat and waved.
Now Su Chengyi finally knew why he was wearing a hat, because he was wearing a watermelon head that looked like Tony's failed experiment.
"Goodbye."
Su Chengyi nodded, turned and walked into the office building.
As soon as he walked to the elevator entrance, he met He Wufei who came to pick him up and was talking on the phone with a serious face.
Su Chengyi paused and leaned against the wall, waiting with interest for the sightseeing elevator door to open.
Classmate He Wufei now looks like a businessman. It is hard to imagine that more than a year ago he was still doing menial tasks such as painting walls and moving bricks at the construction site.
"The advertising schedule for a certain station is from 8pm on Saturday to Sunday. Ah, Mr. Su."
He Wufei's sharp eyes quickly saw his Boss and immediately hung up the phone.
"That's it, I'll call you later."
He smiled, as if he wanted to step forward, but he was a bit unfamiliar with stage fright.
Su Cheng took the initiative to step forward and gave him a hug.
"Long time no see."
"Long time no see."
He Wufei breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting to know Lin Tong and He Wufei, Su Chengyi finally understood what it means to do e for i.
When someone is more introverted than you, you have to be the active one in front of them.
"Thank you for your hard work. I have to go through your hands for everything during my vacation. Isn't it tiring?"
Su Chengyi patted his shoulder and felt that the annual fitness card for him was very effective. , he is now much healthier than the frail skeleton he once was.
"I'm not tired. All I do are chores that don't take a lot of thought."
He Wufei lowered his head and smiled, then turned around and pressed the elevator button.
“They don’t know that you are going back to the studio today, so you just came for a surprise inspection.”
"Wait a moment."
Su Chengyi looked at the jumping floors of the elevator and thought for a while.
"Ask someone to help bring a set of "Disco Elysium" souvenir peripherals and the like. I want a complete set of the collector's edition."
"Okay."
Although He Wufei I didn’t understand, but I didn’t ask why at the first time. Instead, I quickly sent a message in the work group.
"Give it to the guy wearing a sunhat at the door."
Su Cheng pointed outside the glass door. He was still enthusiastically taking photos for others.
Perhaps every passerby who comes because of the beautiful billboard will be forced to play a game by him. Those who don’t know it think they are trolls invited by the studio.
For such "tap water" players, Su Chengyi's attitude is of course very friendly.
"By the way, I would like to tell him that if you are free, you are welcome to visit the X1 studio."
"Roger, Boss."
The two took the elevator up to the studio floor. Su Chengyi heard the laughter of the employees from a distance.
"Persimmon cake treasure! Come to uncle, there is a cat strip here!"
"Funny cat, stick, stick, stick~~"
"The joke is, the red dot is What do you mortals know about this powerful tool for attracting cats?”
"The holy fire is shining, the holy light is shining, all my disciples, meow, meow, meow!"
"."
Have you entered some cat cafe by mistake?
He Wufei pushed open the glass door with some shame.
As soon as Su Chengyi walked in, he saw that all these old men were not doing their jobs properly, and they were all showing off their magical powers around the little orange cat.
"What are you doing?"
Su Chengyi put his hands on his knees and lowered his head as he asked slowly.
This group of people didn’t even raise their heads and explained in a flurry of words:
“We are betting on today’s afternoon tea. Whoever the persimmon cake goes to later will get free of charge!”
“That’s it.”
Su Chengyi nodded seriously.
He Wufei kept reminding him "cough cough cough" for a long time, but no one cared at all. The persimmon that was surrounded in the middle of the circle rolled on the spot. It was growing well and became increasingly rounder in a few days.
However, it seemed to be uninterested in the interested people around it, and was just playing with its tail.
Su Chengyi looked at its naive appearance and couldn't help but smile and greeted:
"Persimmon?"
"Meow meow."
Persimmon's ears moved, as if he caught the scent of an acquaintance from the crowd.
After confirming the target, Gulu got up and ran towards the outside of the encirclement.
With curiosity about the outcome of the bet, everyone’s eyes closely followed its stumbling steps until it pounced on a pair of blue and white AJ1s.
"Fuck!!!"
Everyone who had been enjoying themselves just now suddenly dispersed and fled back to their workstations.
Su Chengyi bent down and picked up the persimmons at his feet, glanced around, and asked with a smile:
"It seems that I am the one who is free of charge today?"
Seeing that he did not seem to be angry at this passive and sabotaging behavior, the employees breathed a sigh of relief, and many people boldly responded:
"Morning, Boss!!!"
"Our boss can have as many drinks as he wants! I'll treat you, I'll treat you!"
"Persimmon is so good in front of the boss."
Su Chengyi replied "Good morning", walked to the door of his office, and drove the persimmon into the room.
Before entering, he clapped his hands to signal everyone's attention.
"Today's afternoon tea is still reimbursed by the company. Everyone has worked hard."
"Thank you, Boss!!!"
Everyone replied in unison.
Although no one else is there, the office is obviously being cleaned every day, and the cactus on the table is growing well.
Su Chengyi opened the curtains on the balcony, and under the sunlight, the glass windows of the tall buildings on all sides shone brightly.
He Wufei walked in behind him, carefully closed the door, and then explained:
"We don't usually act like this. Dong Yu has been on a business trip these two days. No one suppressed him, so his attitude was a little bit more... Relax a little."
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi nodded, not caring.
He knew that the people in the studio looked lazy, but in fact they were more aggressive than anyone else. When there was really an important task, everyone would voluntarily work overtime until three or four in the morning.
Moreover, most employees have a very strong sense of collective honor and truly regard X1 Studio as a place where they can realize their dreams. Such employees are truly trustworthy generals.
Therefore, Su Chengyi has always maintained the highest standards in terms of employee benefits. The operating mode of X1 Studio is a true two-way journey.
"Where is Brother Yuzi going on a business trip?"
As an unreliable hands-off shopkeeper, Su Chengyi asked curiously.
“Dong Yu volunteered to attend an exchange and study session for independent game studios held abroad some time ago as a representative of the “Disco Elysium” project. Counting the time, I should be back tomorrow.”
< br>
He Wufei explained.
"That's it."
Su Chengyi pulled out a chair and sat down, yawning.
Dong Yu has always been a very reliable person who truly loves games. Every time he goes on a business trip of more than ten hours, he has no complaints. As long as he can learn something, he is happy to do so.
“Have the business trip allowance been arranged?”
"Well, ours has always been of the highest standard."
He Wufei answered while pulling out a stack of information from the folder.
"Most of the contracts here are signed by me during the holidays if you prefer. If you are free, please check if there are any problems."
"No need."
Su Chengyi turned on the computer and shook his head.
He really hated these messy regulations and felt dizzy just looking at them.
In order to understand these contract terms, He Wufei spent a lot of effort to study them in private, and in order to avoid pitfalls, he insisted on reading them one by one every time.
Persimmon made a circle around the office and then came back to his feet, scratching the legs of his trousers.
Su Chengyi bent down and held it on his lap.
"I have read the weekly report you sent. It seems that the recent development of the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" project has not encountered any major problems. If nothing else, it seems that the Haikou I boasted can be realized?"
The "Haikou" he was talking about was about the research and development process that he had mentioned to Dong Yu and He Wufei before.
At that time, Su Chengyi said that he believed that the development process of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" would not take more than a year.
Dong Yu can almost be said to be a die-hard fan of Su Chengyi, but he still showed an awkward attitude towards it.
Because in the preliminary idea, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is a very large-scale project, which is not comparable to niche products like "Disco Elysium".
However, the reason why Su Chengyi said this is because he watched the entire development of this project by Blue Hole Studio in his previous life, and the whole process took less than a year.
Of course, part of the reason is because there are authors in the studio who have served as consultants for H1Z1.
But Su Chengyi also played such a role in a sense.
That’s why he had the confidence to say “complete the production process within a year.”
The facts proved that his estimate was right again. The current research and development progress could fully support his words, which indirectly made Dong Yu admire him even more.
Su Chengyi thought, well, sometimes I still feel a little embarrassed due to a lack of moral integrity.
"Yes."
He Wufei nodded. Unlike Dong Yu, he had absolute trust in Su Chengyi.
After experiencing many things, he just felt that no matter how earth-shattering things this young master did, it was just a normal operation for him.
As soon as Su Chengyi opened WeChat for work on the computer, Persimmon began to pull at the keyboard, typing a series of confusing characters on the screen, and accurately hit the Enter key.
I originally thought that the work group would send a series of questions, but I didn’t expect that everyone seemed to understand.
"Boss, did the cat step on the keyboard? Hahahaha!"
"Good persimmon~~Good Cat Ning~~"
"Good persimmon, received the persimmon!"
>
"Persimmon persimmon, I am sweet potato, please come back to meow meow when you receive it."
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows for a moment while looking at this very eager welcome ceremony.
"It seems that everyone gets along very well with this little guy."
"Yes, persimmon is now the mascot of our studio."
He Wufei smiled slightly, He continued:
“A modeler has already modeled it, and I’d like to ask if you can add it to “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” as a future easter egg update.”
“Yeah. It’s not impossible.”
Su Chengyi smiled and took it off the keyboard with one hand.
It seems that putting the persimmons in the studio was a correct decision.
For all Internet migrant workers working in the capital, it is quite troublesome to keep a pet of your own.
The salary may be sufficient, but the working hours that may be reversed at any time and the rules of the rental house landlord are all obstacles to obtaining the mythical beast.
When Su Chengyi was alone in the Magic City in his previous life, he also thought about getting a pet to accompany him.
But in the end, due to many factors, I gave up this idea. Partly because he was worried that he would not be able to bear the responsibility of a small life, and partly because of the endless overtime work.
If you think about it carefully, the life of a kitten or puppy is no more than ten years at most. If you keep them at home but cannot spend time with them, keeping pets will be meaningless.
Now that there is a mascot like this in the studio, you can get paid to pet the cat.
Occasionally when you lower your head and see its passing figure with its tail raised, you will feel that you have seen the few vigorous vitality in the cold grid building.
