Chapter 164 Original intention’s new action
In June, Luo Bai officially returned to China.
Not long after arriving at the company, I accepted Xiao Weirui's report on everything that had happened in Chuxin in the past month, and quickly made instructions on some decisions.
Luo Bai's return has undoubtedly reinvigorated the originally stagnant original intention.
But no one thought this was wrong, because including Xiao Weirui and Chuxin's foreign affairs department, they all knew it.
There is only one core of this seemingly huge company, and that is Mr. Luo himself.
There are two crucial things that are currently facing the original intention.
One is about the split of the game development department.
The money earned from Dark Souls is coming in one after another, which is naturally a huge profit for the original intention.
The money in the bank account must not just sit there, it is the right way to take it out and use it as soon as possible.
Therefore, Luo Bai has already decided that the plan to split the game development department into two departments, 2D and 3D, will be put on the agenda.
Another question is which game to make next.
Animal Crossing, DOOM, Two People.
Regarding Animal Crossing, Nintendo will help Luo Bai set up a game production team. He only needs to act as the game director and control the quality and details of the game.
It can be regarded as the easiest job. If Luo Bai does not want to continue to take over this IP in the future, he only needs to help train a qualified "apprentice".
Anyway, if the copyright is divided into this piece, there will definitely be some mercy.
In DOOM, there is also the option of traveling in pairs.
"It's better to go in pairs. DOOM needs to recruit some people. If you want to do this violent aesthetic well enough, you need people who are particularly experienced in this area in terms of impact."
Luo Bai was thinking, but for some reason he suddenly remembered a person he saw in Nintendo.
"Chief! Please give me a chance! I will prove myself."
That was a startling glimpse when someone took me to visit Nintendo.
The young man knelt on the ground and begged the powerful middle-aged man in front of him.
"You have already failed once, Umehara-kun, the company is not a charity..."
Luo Bai didn't hear the rest clearly, so he was hurried away by the employees of the Ministry of Commerce in front of him. He apologized repeatedly, saying that the noble Luo Sang had seen the joke.
During his explanation, Luo Bai also learned that the man kneeling on the ground was named Umehara Ryozo.
A project he was previously responsible for had poor sales, and now it was obviously in some unspeakable desperate situation.
The Confucian cultural circle is severely involution.
You may be given a chance in the workplace because of your talent, but as long as you fail to grasp it, there will basically be no chance of a comeback.
If it was just this one-time relationship, Luo Bai might not have much impression of the guy named Umehara Ryozo.
But later on, when the man was seen leaving the company holding his personal belongings, the two sides had another encounter.
"Is it Teacher Luo Bai?"
Umehara Ryozo greeted Luo Bai with some surprise. After confirming that he had not admitted his mistake, he directly stated that he liked Luo Bai's games very much.
"Umehara, are you making a fighting game?"
Luo Bai asked curiously.
"You know me?"
Umehara was obviously a little surprised.
After Luo Bai explained that this was the second meeting between the two parties and that he learned some things about Umehara from the mouths of Nintendo employees, Umehara was obviously a little embarrassed and angry.
"I'm not mature enough."
Luo Bai glanced at the drawings in the big box held by Umehara Ryozo. They were pictures of extremely impactful fighting scenes.
Fist-to-fist fight scenes.
"Fighting game?"
"Yes!"
"The days of arcades are over."
Luo Bai could only sigh in relief. Fighting games were a game genre that had long since cooled down, let alone Blue Star, even on Earth in the previous life.
The only one that might have some flair is probably Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Both Street Fighter and King of Fighters have declined with the decline of arcade game consoles.
The rest are basically played by some die-hard fans of this game category.
"Then Umehara, what are you going to do next?"
"I plan to start my own business, and I still want to make the games I want to make."
Meiyuan's answer was somewhat decisive, and his eyes were shining with passion.
"I wish you success."
Luo Bai said sincerely.
……
"Brother Luo, do you really want me to be responsible for the overall operation of the 2D game development team?
No, no, no one would think that a waste like me can bear such a heavy responsibility. ”
Pu Xingyu, who had just received the news, turned red in the face, then shook his head, looking like he couldn't do it.
"If you don't want to go with me, who will?"
Luo Bai squinted his eyes and looked at the inconspicuous Xiao Pu in front of him, hating that iron could not become steel,
"After hanging around me for so long, pigs can play games!"
Pu Xingyu just lowered his head and said nothing.
Of course Luo Bai knew Pu Xingyu's concerns.
Luo himself is a cheater, and Pu Xingyu often uses his ideas when playing games to review the game, and then finds that he is simply not as good as Luo.
Nothing compares to it.
As time passed, the little fighting spirit that was left in my heart was wiped away.
Faced with this situation, of course I choose to force him!
Pu Xingyu's ability is sufficient, but he still doesn't have much confidence in his heart.
"You have to do it, you have to do it, and you have to do it even if you don't. Prepare yourself. You will take up the job after the company's third batch of recruitment is completed."
Luo Bai's categorical words directly sentenced Pu Xingyu to death.
He sighed and left with a look of despair.
When she went home at night and saw Pu Xingyu who was unhappy, Qian Fei asked directly:
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Luo wants to split the game development department into two, and he wants me to be responsible for the management of the 2D group.
I felt like I was not good enough, but Brother Luo forced me to go.
I am very confident about my own abilities. How can I do that?
Brother Luo can't just take care of me like this because I have always had a good relationship with him. The company's operations must be separated from personal relationships. ”
Pu Xingyu said a little depressed.
Qian Feirao already knew the character of this young man of his, so he still made him a little angry and funny.
"Do you really think that Mr. Luo asked you to be a planner for nothing? And where is your ability now?
I think you're fine. What's more, do you think a tyrant like Mr. Luo, who has such strict control over the quality of games, would really let you rise to the top just because of nepotism? ”
"Don't I know if I can do it? I'm really not as good as Brother Luo..."
"Who asked you to compete with Mr. Luo? I have never seen a freak like Mr. Luo before.
Moreover, do you really think that Mr. Luo will not care about anything if you leave the 2D team to you? He must still control the quality of the final product. ”
To put it bluntly, Pu Xingyu, who was not very confident, was convinced by Qian Fei.
"Then let me try?"
