Chapter 569 V You 50
Su Chengyi opened the door of X1 studio and saw a bit of fatigue from work on the faces of the employees for the first time in a long time.
Towards the end of the year, it is a critical moment for major game studios to assess KPIs. Although it is not the style of X1 Game Studio, everyone is still nervous due to the pressure from "friends" from all walks of life.
Usually at times like this, as soon as Su Chengyi opens the door, he will be greeted by everyone's attention, followed by a joyful welcome ceremony.
But today, everyone at the workstation was so busy that no one even had time to look up at him.
Su Chengyi paused and looked down at his watch.
Six o'clock sharp, half an hour after get off work time.
Su Chengyi took a taxi here after her afternoon class. She originally thought that the studio would not be so busy, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked in, the seats were packed.
As a boss, should I say that I am a little relieved?
Su Chengyi was thinking about this problem when He Wufei walked out of the office with a pile of messy folders in his arms. When he raised his head and saw him, he was surprised and wanted to say hello.
Su Chengyi reacted quickly and made a "silence" gesture, walked quickly through the corridor, raised his hand to open the office door, and motioned for him to come in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Persimmon sleeping in the cat's nest with his arms stretched out, snoring like a small motorcycle driving by hard.
"Didn't you turn on the little sun for it today?"
Su Chengyi glanced at it and saw that the stove was off.
“Well, it won’t work if you leave it on for too long. Look at the hair on its tail, it’s all roasted and bald.”
He Wufei straightened the folder in his hand, sighed and explained.
Su Chengyi took a closer look after hearing this, and it was true.
Persimmon's tail hair, which was always raised high and proudly, was now a little burnt, probably because he was too close to the stove while sleeping.
Cats are small animals that pay great attention to their image. I wonder if they will be angry about this.
Su Chengyi thought for a moment, forget it, it’s a persimmon, I’m afraid he’s not smart enough to be angry about his image.
The next second, the phone in his pocket vibrated for several seconds.
Su Chengyi walked to the computer and opened the lock screen.
Message from Miss Chu.
“Ahhhhhh Su Chengyi!!! What should I do!!!”
“I have a very important event today, and then and then, the stylist sister made a mistake and gave it to me. Cut off the bangs! ”
"Oh my God! What should I do?! It's so obvious. I'll take it for you!"
A photo.
Su Chengyi took a closer look and saw a triangular flaw between Miss Chu's originally docile and neat bangs.
This flaw is not big enough to be noticed without looking carefully, but small, it is not so small that it can be completely ignored.
And once discovered, it will be particularly funny.
Because every cell in Miss Chu's body was perfect, such a flaw suddenly appeared, which created a very funny scene.
"Ahhhh!! Is it so obvious, Su Chengyi?! Isn't it that obvious at all? You are talking, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."
Miss Chu, who is on the verge of emotional collapse, is still there Trying to get some comfort.
Su Chengyi suppressed his laughter and closed the photo, and typed a reply:
“To be honest, it’s very obvious.”
"."
The person on the other side of the screen was silent for dozens of seconds before sending out a new round of roars.
"Ahhhhh!!! Can't you coax me into saying it's not obvious at all! You straight man, I hate you!!!"
Su Chengyi is very kind. He glanced at the tail of the persimmon with interest, raised his hand, took a photo and went back.
“It’s okay, I still have this silly cat to accompany you.”
"Ah?! You scared me to death!"
Chu Qingmian was shocked when he saw the picture at first, thinking it was a burn or something like that. After looking at it carefully, he found that it was just a piece of hair that had been burned bald. Then I felt relieved.
"It must have been accidentally burned while taking a nap. It's so pitiful."
"Have mercy on yourself first, okay? I'm missing a piece of bangs."
"Su Chengyi, how can you write such cold words with a body temperature of 36.5 degrees? I hate you."
After feeling Miss Chu's collapse, Su Chengyi laughed happily for a while, and then replied seriously:
"So how did it get damaged? Miss Chu's stylist can also be so low-level. Was it a mistake?”
“That sister didn’t do it on purpose, it was originally planned. The woman was sick and had the flu, so she was afraid of contagion, so we temporarily arranged for a new person to come in. She was too nervous and was not very comfortable with the tools. Her hands shook when she was pruning, and the cut was damaged. "
Chu Qingmian obviously didn’t mean to blame the stylist. Eighty percent of the paragraph was about excusing others.
However, with Wei Peilan's virtue, he will definitely not let him go easily. This mistake may not allow him to have any suitable opportunities in the future.
While Su Chengyi was thinking this, Chu Qingmian added:
"I told my mother that it was actually because I was too sleepy and dozed off, and accidentally nodded my head, which caused the appearance of the shape. Senior sister made a mistake.”
“.”
This is really an angel.
Su Chengyi couldn't think of any other words to describe what Miss Chu did. I'm afraid any migrant worker would be moved to tears when encountering such a customer who is considerate and tolerant of mistakes.
This is indeed the case. Chu Qingmian said that the sister was already disheartened and was ready to change careers.
“Where to go?”
Su Chengyi asked curiously.
“It seems that they are going to switch to selling fried skewers.”
Chu Qingmian said seriously.
"It's quite an idea."
Su Chengyi sighed.
"Yes, I also said that I wanted to try the craftsmanship. That's not right!! I haven't changed careers yet!!"
Miss Chu was helpless when she realized that the topic had been diverted.
Su Chengyi can probably guess that if Miss Chu had not taken the blame, not only would the unlucky stylist miss have no chance in the Chu family, but all future job opportunities would have been affected. Influence, this is why she said she wanted to change careers, but she was not entirely joking.
But luckily, she met Chu Qingmian.
"So, how to solve it in the end?"
Su Chengyi typed and asked.
"Yes, I put a wig on it! How is the effect?"
After Chu Qingmian said this, he sent a photo.
The missing part just now has been covered by the wig, and Miss Chu has turned into the perfect Miss Chu again. She is looking at the camera with eyes pretending to be angry, like a little orange cat showing off her teeth and claws.
“I can’t see any problem.”
Su Chengyi enlarged the picture, checked it carefully, and came to a conclusion.
"Hey, I just said there are always more solutions than difficulties~~"
Miss Chu replied cheerfully.
She must have a bright smile on her face at the moment. Even across the screen, Su Chengyi felt a warm flow of heat pass from her fingertips to her chest.
It wasn't until He Wufei, who was still holding the documents at the door, coughed lightly that Su Chengyi realized that he had been leaning on the desk and chatting with Miss Chu for a long time.
"Sorry."
Su Cheng pulled up his chair and sat down without changing his expression. He pressed the computer's power button based on muscle memory, and the icon on the display lighted up.
Something seems wrong.
Su Chengyi stared at the screen and thought for a long time, then realized why he felt a little uncomfortable.
He opened the desk drawer, took out the Stitch doll lying inside, and placed it again next to the monitor.
It’s the one Miss Chu gave me a long time ago.
This is the right time.
When Chen Jinzhi came to the office before, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Su Chengyi secretly hid this cute toy that looked very strange while he was not paying attention.
He Wufei held the document helplessly and watched his boss's operations. After sorting everything out, Su Chengyi leaned forward and pinched Stitch's belly.
“I love you!”
After confirming that it was still alive and kicking, Su Chengyi sat upright again, leaned on the back of the chair, and asked seriously:
"Okay, what's the matter?"
He Wufei: "."
Although nothing happened, I always felt like I was fed a mouthful of dog food.
After a while, he collected his thoughts and returned to work.
"It's like this. Boss, you have a lot of free time to come to the studio recently. You have reviewed most of the work reports in time. Although the development progress of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is hard, it is acceptable.
One of the more critical issues now is that our project "Disco Elysium" is very likely to win the award at this year's Global Game Awards. This is not because we are blindly confident, but through comprehensive scores, public voices and forum responses. After all considerations, the conclusion is reached.”
Having said this, He Wufei cleared his throat to cover up his overflowing joy.
Recently, the entire studio has been busy with the development of the new project "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". The tense atmosphere has been going on for a long time, but the first project "Disco Elysium" is still shining, which gives Everyone has a lot of confidence and motivation.
“Yes.”
Su Chengyi held his chin and nodded calmly.
Speaking of which, the annual gaming industry Oscar selection conference is about to begin.
This can be said to be the award that gamers around the world pay the most active attention to, and it is also the most valuable award.
But Su Chengyi was not very nervous.
Because he has been there, Disco Elysium won four awards that year, namely Best Independent Game, Best Role-Playing Game, Best Narrative Award, and Best New Independent Game Manufacturer Award. , can definitely be called one of the biggest winners of the night.
The best game of the year in the same year was won by "Sekiro". That year everyone was re-dominated by the old thief Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Also nominated for the best independent game is "Star Outer Wilds". "Disco Elysium" can beat "Star Outer Wilds", which is enough to illustrate its real gold content.
Su Chengyi's confidence also comes from this, because no matter which year it is placed, "Disco Elysium" can be said to be completely true.
So, just go with the flow and participate in the election. The quality of the game and reputation will give them a satisfactory answer.
“Although all signs are good, our publicity efforts cannot be left behind, so as a favorite, we also need to provide promotional videos that are conducive to building momentum.”
He Wufei finished laying out the causes and consequences and put forward today’s key points.
Su Chengyi just happened to think of this, so he nodded again and replied:
"It is indeed necessary."
After all, the competition in the game market is fierce, and marketing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent people from forgetting.
“As for the issue of the promotional video editing team, we do have a few partners who have cooperated with us here, but”
He Wufei paused and continued:
“ Boss, I always feel that something is wrong.”
"Huh?"
Su Chengyi tapped the spaces on the keyboard with her fingers and raised her eyebrows.
“I always feel that when the demo was first launched, the trailer was more exciting.
To this day, there are still many up owners who played Amway’s “Disco Elysium” Using the clips in it, many players often go back to the video to review it. No matter what time they go in, almost everyone is watching it.
So, I wonder if you can contact the editor again. "< br>
He Wufei explained.
What he said is not an exaggeration. After the trailer was released, the first thing X1 Game Studio was labeled was the "Millions of Editors".
Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled meaningfully.
"How do you know that I originally wanted to find that master to take on the editing work this time?"
After receiving his affirmative reply, the stone hanging in He Wufei's heart fell to the ground. laughed.
"That's great!"
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi nodded and motioned for him to take all the folders in his hand first.
Taking off the signature pen clamped on the document, Su Chengyi did not rush to open the document, but lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to the legendary editing master.
“Are you there?”
He was not in a hurry to wait for a reply, but simply looked through the documents in his hand and signed the necessary contracts in a casual handwriting.
“Buzzing.”
The phone vibrated.
The dream of a 900 million rich woman: ". Talk about something if you have something to say."
Su Chengyi thought for a while and typed:
"Do you still remember when I asked you to help me edit the trailer of "Disco Elysium"?"
"Remember, I cut it until five o'clock in the morning and almost died suddenly."
Zou Lian The reply was full of resentment.
"That's great, Mr. Zou, you have another chance to challenge yourself."
Su Chengyi quickly forwarded the document to him.
On the other side, Zou Lian was arranging the shelves of the convenience store. He held the water bottle between his elbows and replied angrily:
“Can’t you ask if you are free before you send it?! What the fuck! I'm working!"
"Just check it out when you have time. Anyway, this job is left to you."
There was no hint of gratitude in Su Chengyi's tone.
Zou Lian was so angry that he wanted to twist all the water bottles into twists, but realized that he would lose money, so he had to give up and put the water bottles in order.
"Do you want me to do illegal work for you?!"
He asked angrily, leaning next to the shelf.
Actually, it’s not that he wants too much money, he just doesn’t want to appear that his working hours are cheap.
"How is that possible? What is your work WeChat account?"
Su Chengyi raised his eyes and motioned to He Wufei to take his notes.
The other party reacted quickly and immediately took out his mini notebook from his pocket.
Zou Lian hesitated and replied with a mysterious code, and then added awkwardly:
“Don’t be so sentimental as to transfer money to this account, I won’t accept it. You can send me the materials together when I get back tonight, and I'll see if I can cut out a rough template after staying up all night."
Su Chengyi didn't rush to reply to his message, but searched for it. .
I searched for an account named "L Editing Studio". It seems that the business is not very prosperous, and no one is paying attention to the advertisements posted in the circle of friends.
Su Chengyi thought for a while, and the pen tip in his hand made a few meaningless marks on the paper.
“When releasing a new promotional video this time, we will promote the L Editing Studio at a suitable location.”
When he mentioned the word “suitable”, his pronunciation was deliberate It's getting worse, He Wufei quickly understood.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the work is outsourced, they will definitely not help with publicity work by default.
Su Chengyi said this in a rather cryptic way, but he actually meant to promote it within the circle, so that the business of this studio would definitely boom immediately.
Of course Zou Lian knew that the film he cut for "Disco Elysium" was very popular, but even if his business was not good, he never thought of using this to promote himself.
Should I say stupid or stubborn?
Su Chengyi turned around and typed a reply to the user’s dream of a 900 million rich woman.
“V, you are 50, don’t be ungrateful.”
“Su Chengyi, you belong to his uncle!!!”
Before more anger could shatter the screen and spread, Su Chengyi turned off the phone screen in time and placed the phone face down.
"Wukong, you can draw up a long-term cooperation contract for me later. It may be useful, but maybe."
Su Chengyi said with a smile.
