Chapter 595 Daily Life Lin Yao was not aware of
Qi Jianhua's being poached. However, she had heard about the film and television companies waving money to buy the IP adaptation rights. Facing this, she was actually quite helpless. Game adaptation... How could it be so easy? If it was really that easy, Linmu Studio would have set up its own film and television company to do it. Compared to others, Lin Yao also knows more about Linmu Studio's current IP, and has the previous life as a reference. But what is the result? Linmu Studio's current multimedia project is only "Resident Evil". In the short term, neither Lin Yao nor Qi Jianhua plans to start multimedia projects again. Because it is really too difficult... The audience may only see one movie and just think it's awesome. But for Linmu Studio, it is simply a torture. "Resident Evil" is still good. The adaptation has a clear storyline, and the character setting of Resident Evil 0 is itself more likable. Just focus on Billy and Rebecca, the two protagonists who match well, and then describe the story of them encountering crises and escaping. That's it. In order to make the story rhythm smooth, Qi Jianhua still scratched a lot of his hair. How to connect the plot of the train and the cadre training institute, how to make the movie not boring, how to insert the literary drama of Billy and Rebecca in a limited time, how to balance the relationship between the movie itself and the foreshadowing game... These are all problems. For this movie, even many game CGs were affected. But the progress was still not smooth. Lin Yao was not much better. In the end, she had no choice but to directly bring out "The Raid" shot by an Indonesian director in her previous life, and then use her not-so-rich film experience to teach Qi Jianhua how to shoot big action scenes and how to create dramatic tension. Only then did she get through the danger. "Resident Evil" 0, a game adaptation with a clear storyline, is like this. Not to mention other games. Games and movies are completely different carriers. In some games, the plot that looks good may change when it is replaced with real shooting. In addition, many plots in games are supported by countless characters and side lines. It is difficult to balance so many characters and plot lines when it is made into a movie. Not to mention, game adaptations have to satisfy both ordinary audiences and players at the same time. This is simply hellish difficulty. This is also the reason why many of Lin Yao's game adaptations in her previous life were unsuccessful. In this case, these film and television companies saw that "Resident Evil" was hot, and turned around and waved money to acquire the adaptation rights of Lin Mu Studio's IP. Among them, how many really like games and really want to adapt games into movies? And how many see that "Resident Evil" can make money, and there are so many players who want to stock up on IP first? The former is probably not many. Lin Yao dares to guarantee that the latter will definitely occupy the majority! This is why she feels helpless. Game adaptation is thankless, and she knows this better than anyone. It is not only unfriendly to film and television companies, but also to Lin Mu Studio. If it is filmed badly, it will also affect Lin Mu Studio's games. In her opinion, instead of seeing that "Resident Evil" makes money and rushing to buy IP adaptation rights, film and television companies might as well make original series well. The probability of making money this way is even greater. Of course, Lin Yao understands this truth. But it doesn't mean that all film and television companies understand... They are still envious of the huge number of players of the games under Linmu Studio. This is the natural audience group! So in the end. There is still an endless stream of film and television companies coming to negotiate. There is no way. Lin Yao simply told the marketing department not to pay attention to anyone. But even so. There are still many film and television companies that want to get the adaptation rights through unorthodox means. For example, Xi Qianyu from the marketing department of Linmu Studio has received a lot of harassing calls. Even Lin Xi and some senior executives of Linmu Financial Holdings have received harassing calls. "It's just a movie, is it that serious?" Lin family. Lin Yao wore a T-shirt and hot pants, revealing a pair of snow-white long legs. While wiping her hair, she walked towards her sister sitting on the sofa. She complained. She just heard that Linmu Financial Holdings could receive harassing calls, and she tried to bribe... It's outrageous. "Movies are very profitable, aren't they?"
Lin Xi was quite calm and replied, "It looks like the box office may even reach 1 billion, which is no small number. If other games are like Resident Evil and there are subsequent game bonuses, then the future will be even more limitless."
"Unlimited what?"
Lin Yao put down the towel and sat next to Lin Xi, "I'd be crazy to make a game specifically for the purpose of adapting a movie."
"Then just ignore it."
Lin Xi chuckled and took the towel from her sister's hand, then put it back on her head and helped her wipe her wet hair, "As for Linmu Financial Holdings, don't worry. Since the senior management has taken that salary, they have to bear the corresponding pressure. What's wrong with harassing calls? Some people don't have the chance to be harassed yet.
As for those who are really tempted and want to make a deal, my sister will take care of it. Linmu Financial Holdings will never interfere with the decision-making of Linmu Studio."
"Then there's no need to be so formal. Aren't you also from Linmu Financial Holdings?"
Lin Yao chuckled, holding Lin Xi's plump and white legs with both hands, half leaning in her arms, lowering her head and letting her wipe her hair.
Lin Xi smiled and shook her head, but didn't say anything.
She didn't know much about games.
Of course, she couldn't interfere with the decision of Linmu Studio.
"Why don't you just blow dry it? You might catch a cold."
Lin Xi wiped Lin Yao's wet long hair and changed the subject.
"It's still quite hot now, no, I'm a natural air-drying party." Lin Yao
leaned on Lin Xi completely.
The whole person relaxed.
Lin Xi said helplessly: "I've never heard of such a faction. You have long hair, not short hair."
When Lin Yao heard the word short hair, she suddenly thought of something and asked: "Speaking of short hair, do you think I'm suitable for short hair, sister?"
"Not suitable."
Lin Xi had the same opinion as Mu Wanqing, but her reaction was slightly different from Mu Wanqing's: "It looks better this way, why did you suddenly have such an idea?"
"Isn't it easy to be pressed when sleeping?"
Lin Yao half leaned against Lin Xi and yawned: "Every time I get up, I feel a pain in my scalp..."
"That's because you pressed my sister's hair."
Speaking of this.
Lin Xi immediately laughed and said, "When did you not press me down when I woke up? Every time I woke up, you were lying on me. If you had to press someone, it was you who pressed your sister's hair. You don't sleep properly..."
"Really?"
Lin Yao was very surprised.
"Yes."
Lin Xi said firmly, "I just get up early, so I'm the only one who noticed it every time. It's very difficult to move you down without waking you up every day."
"...Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence."
Lin Yao thought about it and chose to be stubborn.
Lin Xi stopped wiping her hair and gently pinched her earlobe: "No evidence, right? Then let's record it tonight. I want to see it. Why did you lie on me when we were hugging each other while sleeping?"
"...Just kidding, sister."
Lin Yao struggled for a while, fell down, and rested her head directly on Lin Xi's round and slender white thighs, and yawned again.
Lin Xi held the towel and looked at her sister on her thighs with a smile: "The hair is not dry yet!"
"That's it, it's almost done."
Lin Yao leaned towards Lin Xi's flat belly again, then wrinkled her nose, smelled the pleasant smell on Lin Xi's body, and lowered her voice: "Sister, you smell good."
Seeing that Lin Yao was reluctant to get up, Lin Xi put the towel away and replied casually: "It smells like shower gel."
"And she has a great figure."
Lin Yao rubbed Lin Xi's extremely elastic thighs, then looked inside through the hem of her T-shirt that was propped up, and said in surprise: "I can actually see her neck directly from here..."
"What are you surprised about? It's your turn to sit. I can also see it when I lie down!"
Lin Xi pinched her sister's soft face and replied unhappily.
Lin Yao smiled foolishly.
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, holding her sister's head gently with one hand, and holding her hand naturally placed on the leg of her hot pants with the other hand, and suddenly said: "The lawyer said that he will be released in two years at most."
"Who?"
"Lin Bing."
"Ah? That's a good thing!"
Lin Yao, who was a little sleepy, opened her eyes and said in surprise: "Two years?"
Lin Xi shook her head: "What good thing."
Lin Yao said earnestly: "Father and daughter don't have overnight hatred, so forgive him, sister, your tsundere is not popular now..."
"Tsundere!?"
Lin Xi's voice rose slightly, and he immediately let go of Lin Yao's hand and wanted to tickle her.
"Wrong, wrong, I'm tsundere, okay, ah..."
Lin Yao immediately admitted her mistake.
But it was too late.
The two of them quarreled.
After a while.
They calmed down.
Lin Xi held Lin Yao's hand again.
Lin Yao rubbed her sister's flat belly and closed her eyes again.
The two enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation.
Lin Xi was quiet for a while, then lifted up Lin Yao's hand and looked at her slender fingers: "Your nails seem too long, can I help you trim them?"
After that,
she wanted to get up and get the nail clippers.
But Lin Yao didn't answer her.
Instead, she lay quietly, breathing evenly, her chest rising and falling slightly.
Fell asleep.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then gave up the idea of getting up.
"Meow."
At this time.
The ragdoll cat at home suddenly jumped onto the sofa, squatted next to Lin Xi, and called out to her.
I don't know if it's hungry or wants to play with Lin Xi.
"Shh."
Lin Xi turned her head, put her index finger in front of her red lips, and made a shushing gesture.
"..."
I don't know if the chubby ragdoll cat understood.
After looking at Lin Xi for a while, he lowered his head.
He licked his forelimbs and stopped calling.
Lin Xi smiled, then looked away and looked back at Lin Yao, who was curled up on his thigh.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xi reached out and gently pushed away the slightly wet hair on Lin Yao's cheek, and murmured in a low voice.
In fact, don't look at the current prosperity of Linmu Financial Holdings and Youmei.
But all this.
It's because of Lin Yao.
And this also means that Lin Yao bears the greatest pressure...
Even if Lin Xi didn't see it with his own eyes.
He can imagine Lin Yao's hard work.
In fact, Lin Bing came out.
She was also happy. Being able to see her father was one thing, but the most important thing was that if he came out, it would give Lin Yao a break.
Lin Xi knew her shortcomings better than anyone else.
She really had no talent in business.
She couldn't help Lin Yao to the greatest extent, and could only reluctantly help her share some pressure and protect her.
Lin Bing was much better than him in this regard.
Although she didn't want to admit it...
"..."
Lin Xi looked at her sister who was sleeping peacefully, and suddenly thought of the escape plan she mentioned, and smiled gently.
At that time.
She could really go out and have a good time for a while.
This would also prevent Lin Bing from having sudden thoughts and talking about some sensitive things.
Lin Xi was not sure if she was a sister control.
But she did not think... that there was a man worthy of her sister.
Not one.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning.
When Lin Yao woke up, she was already in bed.
Because she went to bed early, she rarely got up earlier than Lin Xi.
Then.
After being confused for a few seconds, she understood her situation.
When she woke up, she was indeed lying on Lin Xi's body...
and Lin Xi was holding her waist, frowning slightly, and seemed to have difficulty breathing.
What Lin Xi said was indeed correct...
However.
Soon.
Lin Yao reacted... She struggled to break free from Lin Xi's arms in a daze, rolled to the side, then hugged Lin Xi's waist and exerted force.
She wanted to fake the scene...
However.
Lin Xi's sleep was very light. As soon as
Lin Yao exerted force and moved her into her arms,
Lin Xi woke up.
So as soon as Lin Yao faked the scene, Lin Xi raised her head.
The two sisters looked at each other and saw each other's eyes.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xi asked a soul-searching question.
"...Look, it's your fault, isn't it?"
Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, and said confidently: "You are the one who puts pressure on me every day... Forget it, I forgive you, you should get up, it's so boring."
"..."
Lin Xi bit her rosy red lips, laughed out of anger, pressed Lin Yao's hand, then moved up and began to rub her neck with her cheek.
"Wait, sister..."
Lin Yao laughed and struggled.
The two sisters in cool clothes hugged each other and made a mess.
Window.
A ray of sunlight passed through the curtains and fell on the floor.
It's a new day again.
...
Nine o'clock.
Lin Yao came to Lin Mu Studio.
Fully revived.
In fact, it is hard work.
As the business of Lin Mu Studio becomes more and more extensive, Lin Yao sometimes does feel overwhelmed.
But her ability to adjust is very good.
Almost after a good sleep,
she can be fully revived.
For example, today.
"Miss Mu, don't worry about the movie. Let's not consider selling the adaptation rights for the time being."
Lin Yao gathered her hair and tied it into a ponytail while saying, "Whether they are sincere or just want to make a fortune, just ignore them. Wait until everyone calms down."
"Okay."
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly.
Lin Yao tied her ponytail and shook it gently: "Also, how many developers have agreed to connect to our WeChat payment?"
"The first batch has responded, and they all agreed."
"Then put the applications of this batch of developers into the support list first."
Lin Yao smiled brightly: "It's time to start. After the popularity of "Resident Evil" has passed, in order to maintain the frequency of users using the wallet, more weight is needed.
At the same time, it is time to give more hints to other peers."
"Okay, I will explain it."
Mu Wanqing nodded gently, and then asked: "Then when do you plan to fully support all platforms and launch official mobile payment and QR code payment? I will give the technical department a date by the way, so that they can prepare."
"During the end-of-year promotion."
Lin Yao pondered for a moment, and replied with a smile: "At that time, we will fight a combination of punches..."
...
Time came to the end of September.
The weather showed no signs of cooling down. It
was as if autumn had not yet arrived.
And the "Resident Evil" movie, like the weather, not only did it not cool down, but it became more and more popular.
The predictions of many film and television companies were not wrong.
The "Resident Evil" game was officially unlocked.
It really brought a second spring to the movie.
The movie has been released for a month.
However, because of the game, it still has about 15% of the screenings.
It can really be said that it is still hot!
Of course,
at the end of this month,
the most watched thing is not the game and the movie,
but... the action of WeChat.
On this day,
Linmu Studio issued a notice, announcing one thing, that is, some third-party applications on Future Store and Vaporwave game platforms will support WeChat purchases.
There are a total of 700 applications in the first batch.
Compared with the total number of applications on the two major platforms, Future Store and Vaporwave,
it is not a lot.
But this first batch of applications, each of them is well-known.
Most of the developers contacted by Linmu Studio in the first batch are large companies.
Their games and applications
have a large audience.
Now they all support WeChat payment.
Now,
the meaning of WeChat is different...
It has really become more and more convenient!
And WeChat has completely stepped out of the category of only supporting first-party applications.
If.
Some time ago, Linmu Studio's WeChat payment only supported first-party products. Most people just thought that Linmu Studio wanted to use WeChat as a traffic entrance to connect its products and pave the way for the ecosystem.
But now.
It's Sima Zhao's intention, and passers-by know it!
Everyone has reacted. What exactly does
Linmu Studio
want to do.
"Did you see it? Did you see it!?"
Tianhu.
Mou Feng pressed Li Guangsheng's shoulders and shook him excitedly: "This is their goal! Payment system, ecosystem, they want it all! And we are their closest opponent! Should we wait any longer!?"
"Then why did they... do it so obviously?"
Li Guangsheng looked at his childhood friend and hesitated.
"I don't know."
Mou Feng shook his head: "But the opportunity is right in front of us now! We can finally stand on the same starting line with them! We also have communication software, which is our common point!" "
Although our communication software does not have as many registered users as WeChat! But there are also many retained users! We also have many products! We can also do payment system! This is our opportunity!"
"If it's a little later, others will react, what are we waiting for!"
"What we need to do most now is to keep up with the pace of Linmu Studio! And then be faster than Linmu Studio! They haven't connected to online banking yet, we will connect to online banking first!"
"This will be our opportunity!! After this battle, we may surpass Linmu Studio!!!"
Mou Feng's words were passionate.
After listening, Li Guangsheng was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, you have the final say."
Finally.
Mou Feng waited for the answer he wanted.
And the next day.
Tianhu announced his entry into the game in a high-profile manner!
