Chapter 470 A Qualified Product

For most of last year, Shen Xuewei was with the film crew and hadn't visited any companies for a long time.

After inspecting several companies, I found that most of them were operating smoothly, except that everyone in the office was wearing a mask.

When she arrived at Fengyu Technology, she raised questions when she saw the new game that Ji Xingqiao and his team were developing, including some character designs and models.

Why are all these female NPC characters designed to be so revealing?

One of the members of Ji Xingqiao's team explained, "Mr. Shen, this game is mainly aimed at a male audience, and this design will make it more attractive to them to download and participate..."

Shen Xuewei interrupted his explanation, "I remember this game is mainly about StarCraft and resource gathering and plundering, not specifically designed to please a certain group of people. In non-specific scenarios, this is just an ordinary NPC character."

"And this one, this one, and this one... This NPC is a warrior type, right? A warrior with super short shorts, pigtails, and half of his butt crack showing?"

The more Shen Xuewei looked at these character models, the more disgusted she felt. What kind of monsters and demons had the company hired?

The member wanted to argue back, but Ji Xingqiao glared at him, and he reluctantly shut up.

Looking at the NPCs' behavior, Ji Xingqiao also felt that this was inappropriate. He pursed his lips and said:

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I didn't check it in time. I'll have them correct it immediately..."

Shen Xuewei pushed the proposal he submitted aside, her usual gentleness gone, her tone tinged with indifference.

"After you redesign and model the character, send me a copy. Only after I approve it will it be considered complete."

That's all for today, no need to say anything else.

She slowly stood up, took a few steps towards the office door, then stopped and looked back at Ji Xingqiao.

"Ji Xingqiao, I am very disappointed in you this time. I hope you will not disappoint me again."

Ji Xingqiao's heart skipped a beat, and he replied in a deep voice, "There will be no next time."

Shen Xuewei gave a soft hum, her expression unreadable as she walked towards the elevator, surrounded by several people.

Standing in the elevator, she let out a long sigh and glanced at Xie Yijiang beside her.

"Xie Yijiang, you're in trouble this time too. But..."

"I'll let it go this time, considering how much work you have to handle. But if there's a next time, you won't be CEO anymore."

"I do bear responsibility for this oversight, thank you for your understanding, Mr. Shen. I promise that this problem will never happen again."

The elevator continued to descend, and Shen Xuewei closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again.

"Resign those new game character designers. Hire a few new designers with normal aesthetic sense who don't do these low-level designs."

Fengyu Technology's highest-grossing game to date is Time Travel Romance, which surpasses the combined revenue of its other games.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the company is supported by a secret time-space agreement.

Even though the company continued to develop new games, none of them made as much money as Time Travel Secret.

As a game company that makes money from games targeted at women, the release of this new game with its revealing female NPCs and poorly designed characters will damage the company's image and negatively impact its other games.

Shen Xuewei's novel, *The Record of the Demon King of the World*, is now being developed into a game by Han Qianyu and her team. She doesn't want the game to be influenced by Ji Xingqiao's team, resulting in a boycott before its release...

In addition to licensing the novel for game development, the Seagull platform also wants to develop it into an anime.

Shen Xuewei had looked at the studios that the other party was collaborating with for animation development, and she was not satisfied with at least a few of the studios provided by the platform, so the collaboration was put on hold.

As for making it into a TV series?

It's safe to say that there's absolutely no chance of that happening.

If it were made into a TV series, Shen Xuewei felt that no one could play the role, and she was reluctant to let anyone play it.

This novel is her most satisfying work, without exception.

Other novels have been adapted into films and television series, which are already helping her make money.

She wanted to keep this most cherished work, not wanting to associate it with a certain celebrity when mentioning a character from the novel in the future.

COVID-19 has invaded every aspect of people's lives, but those who need to work are still working, and those who need to live are still trying to live, only with some minor inconveniences in their daily lives.

Here, someone's health code turns red, and everyone who has been in contact with them has to be quarantined at home. There, someone's code turns yellow, and they also have to be observed at home.

In addition, when traveling to certain places, one is required to undergo quarantine for a certain number of days before being allowed to move around in the area.

To avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth between different places, and considering that her current focus has shifted to film and television, she has begun to reside permanently in the capital and on film sets.

With the airing of that dual-male-lead drama, Tan Jiashu went from being virtually unknown to becoming a popular artist who could land all sorts of big productions and endorsements.

As their status rose, they also became arrogant and less under the company's control.

Shen Xuewei saw the negative news about him assaulting someone at the airport trending on social media, but her expression remained very calm.

The company should apologize where it should, and the impact on the artist himself will only be temporary; he still has many fans who support him.

For a businessman, a product is considered a qualified product as long as it can bring continuous profits to the company.

The company only has this one male artist who is presentable at the moment, and judging from Tan Jiashu's appearance, his career could collapse at any time.

Therefore, after him, the company signed two more male artists with good looks.

One person with little experience was put into the production as a minor male lead, while another person already had some fame.

After he joined the company, he was given a role in a drama series with two male leads.

The successive popularity of several dramas featuring two male leads has drawn the attention of the entertainment industry to this genre, ushering in a wave of adaptations of BL (Boys' Love) stories.

A saying gradually became popular.

If you want to become famous, go into business.

At the beginning of the year, Tide Media started filming a new drama featuring two male leads, and now it looks like it's almost finished filming.

Shen Xuewei bought these two copies in total and has no plans to buy any more.

Because if we buy more later, even if we film it, we won't be able to broadcast it, so it's just a waste of money.

In July, Xu Yue finished filming her drama and completed some business activities and announcements, and then enjoyed a short break.

Her next project hadn't been decided yet, so after resting for a few days, she simply took on a variety show to fill the gap.

Several months after filming wrapped, "The Rose on the Green Alley Wall" was broadcast on a major television network.

The show was a hit in terms of ratings, viewership, and other aspects. The male and female leads were a popular couple and participated in many events and variety shows.

I initially thought it was just a publicity stunt, but it turns out they're actually dating.

Paparazzi photographed the two having dinner together late at night and returning to the same residential complex.

The next day, they went to work, and their private interactions were quite sweet; they even used matching phone cases.

After the paparazzi took the photos, they released a teaser, and half an hour later, the photos were immediately released.

The couple's relationship topped the trending searches, and ten minutes later, both of them simultaneously updated their Weibo accounts to officially announce their relationship.

When a shipped couple becomes a reality, the shippers celebrate, but all the fans outside the shippers are devastated.

Before starring in this drama, the male lead was already a top-tier celebrity with a huge following and a powerful fan base.

After the official announcement, fans felt that Zhong Shengxia was not good enough for their brother, and many fans even cursed Zhong Shengxia from her ancestors to her future generations.

What was Tide Media's reaction?
