Chapter 79: Can real-life NPCs produce peripheral products?
This time, the other party did not reply to him immediately, but sent a string of periods after a long interval.
Ye Xuan was now even more confused, and even Sister Lin couldn't explain what this method was.
"Sister, what do you think is the possibility that a nameless person's account will be hacked?" Ye Xuan returned to his previous guess.
Although it is not very realistic, there are always people who are better than Wuming. It is possible that someone who knows him and has better hacking skills than Wuming has stolen Wu's account.
"It's not impossible, but 'Wuming' is not just one person. They are hard to find on the Internet, yet they are everywhere." Sister Lin shook her head.
After that string of strange periods, the other party did not send any messages on their own initiative. After discussing with Sister Lin, Ye Xing decided to leave it alone for the time being. After all, Wuming had already sent all the clues that could be found some time ago, and it would not be a big loss if they did not contact him for the time being.
“Xiao Xuan, your number of fans has increased significantly recently. We have discussed it and decided to include you when we release the next season’s game peripherals.” Sister Lin obviously meant to use him as a peripheral material.
Like many current game companies, a major source of revenue for Youmeng is the sale of peripheral products related to its own games. In the eyes of some players, this is much more realistic than spending money to buy items.
As for making peripheral products based on real-life NPCs - there is currently no precedent.
"My peripherals?" Ye Xuan hadn't expected this kind of operation. "No, what can I produce? And can it be sold?"
Sister Lin sent him the preliminary plan on her phone: "Take a look for yourself."
"It's nothing more than some posters, postcards and the like... What is this?!" Ye Xing clicked on it and saw that it was completely different from what he had imagined "the same style as celebrities".
His emoji stickers? They are not the artistic and beautiful ones from the previous competition. What kind of facial expressions are in these snapshots!
"This is your most personal design, Xiaoxuan. Wow, if it really comes out, I will definitely purchase a copy first." Sister Lin also held her mobile phone, admiring the set of emoticons that she and several other leaders had chosen.
The complete set of emoticon stickers consists of 6,636 pieces, all of which are made from screenshots of Ye Xuan's games in "Dream Travel". They include not only the characters he played in various scripts, but also candid photos taken from the perspective of passers-by when he walked through many districts. Each photo is vivid, interesting and funny, and sales are expected to be high.
"Are my expressions so expressive?" Ye Xuan held his forehead with his hand.
In fact, some emoticons themselves are not very funny, but the accompanying text is so soulful that it greatly enhances their fun.
"It's better to have more expression." Sister Lin took out a screenshot she had saved earlier from her phone. "When you wrote your first script, wasn't the main character a live streamer? I also watched that live stream. Your expression was so stiff. It's better to have more expression than acting like a paralyzed person. Otherwise, it's hard to even make an emoticon."
Ye Xuan looked at himself in the picture and found that his face was indeed stiff, as if he had a failed plastic surgery, which was unbearable to look at.
With this comparison, he seemed to be able to accept those screenshots that were prepared to be made into stickers.
This one is clearly proof of his acting failure.
And those pictures are the evidence of his vivid interpretation.
He pushed the phone back to Sister Lin and said, "I think the leaders have a very good vision. I am very honored."
I am honored to become the new peripheral material and do my part to help the company make money - oh no, to better serve the players.
As Sister Lin said, the next day Ye Xuan saw the pre-sale information of the new peripheral products in the company’s official promotion, and the “highly recommended” ones turned out to be his stickers.
Moreover, against the backdrop of the fancy promotional posters and decorative elements, it actually looks pretty good.
Yes, as a real-life NPC in the game, the copyright of his portrait belongs to the company, so there is no need to discuss with him in advance before releasing peripheral products.
What Sister Lin mentioned to him yesterday was not a business matter, but just a personal reminder to him in advance.
"Here, this is a sample, take a look first." As soon as Sister Lin received the sample, she ran over and gave a copy to Ye Xuan. After all, in a sense, he was the one who should see what the finished product looks like.
None of the colleagues in the R&D field could grab the package that Sister Lin was holding when opening the express delivery. Only one copy of each was made for the first batch of samples, and the sticker was the one in Sister Lin's hand.
Ye Xuan took the small brown paper envelope. He didn't expect that the sticker packaging was quite serious, but the content was designed to be funny, and the promotion was gorgeous...
The team responsible for the surrounding areas should be quite divided internally, right?
He carefully tore off the red wax seal, opened the envelope and poured out the contents.
The envelope is not thick, but there are twenty-five stickers inside, including thirty-six stickers of different sizes. The largest one takes up the entire sheet, and the smallest is only a quarter of the size of the entire sheet. It can be said that different usages and scenarios are taken into consideration.
"It's much better than I expected." Ye Xuan looked left and right, and felt that his expression was not that strange to be honest. It seemed like it was just a joke at most, and it would not really damage his image.
"Let me see it too," Sister Lin stretched out her hand to him, "I haven't seen it yet. As soon as I knew the samples were sent, I thought of you. I have to send them back later, otherwise they will nag me again."
The people in charge of developing peripheral products are all weirdos who are obviously at odds with each other internally but generally act in unison towards the outside world. You will get into trouble if you mess with them.
"Thank you, Sister Lin, for your concern." Ye Xing bowed awkwardly and smiled at the other party.
Sister Lin rolled her eyes elegantly in response: "You are the only one who is poor."
"Then, do you still need my help in promoting the new product?" Ye Xing looked eagerly at Sister Lin as she put the stickers back into the envelope. It turned out that when she told him to take a look first, she really just wanted him to "take a look" and put them back after he was done.
He thought this one was for him.
Sister Lin waved her hand: "Don't worry, this is still the first version. We can only promote the product after they have reviewed it and found no changes, and there are no problems with mass production. Otherwise, mistakes are likely to occur."
This is the fixed process for Youmeng to release peripheral products, which is to ensure that players do not receive defective products.
They had produced postcards before and understood that there would likely be significant differences in the final product between printing one and one hundred or even a thousand, and such differences should be avoided as much as possible.
Even if it is not possible to make every picture exactly the same and perfect, at least each one should be above 95 points.
Their company can be called the "conscience of the industry" in terms of quality control, which is one of the reasons why they can retain users.
Youmeng not only strives for excellence in game production, but also never takes peripheral products lightly.
They are the players, and they know best what the players need.
It’s not about endless mechanical kryptonian gold, but the touching feeling when receiving every sincere work.
…
The treatment room has made good progress recently. With the enthusiastic sharing of the citizens, the escaped zombies have basically all been captured, but there may still be some that have slipped through the net.
Ye Xuan felt that the script progress bar was approaching the end. His new drug was extremely effective. The previous batch of infected people who took the new drug did not show any recurrence symptoms after stopping the drug for a week. The next step was to carry out long-term outdoor activities outside the search team under supervision.
Since the cause of the last relapse was unknown, Ye Xuan discussed with Xiao Qin and others and decided to take them out for a walk first to see if the unstable condition was caused by environmental changes.
When the search team was around, most of the zombies were well behaved. Even those previously detained in the guardhouse were howling in an orderly and regular pattern, which was different from the zombies running around outside and hurting people.
"Could it be that there is some special magnetic field here?" Ye Xing stared at the floor of the corridor and made a speculation.
"Senior, we cannot prove whether the symptoms are related to the magnetic field at this stage." Although it was just a random remark by the Chinese medicine doctor, the boy obviously took it to heart. "After the outdoor test is over, maybe we can do a test."
"I'm just talking, don't take it too seriously, Xiao Qin." Ye Xuan didn't want to create trouble for himself.
It was just because science fiction games were popular in the company recently, and he watched them a few more times, and he just happened to think of it.
"Senior, you must have thought this through carefully before you agreed to this," Mr. Qin had great trust in him, "but I don't know much about this aspect... But just like the restaurants that are still open for business, there must be professionals in this area still working."
Ye Xuan really wanted to say that the restaurant was probably open because of the delivery mission, but he couldn't mention the "game" to the players in the script, so as not to distract the players, so he had to not mention it.
Maintaining the realism and sense of immersion in the plot is not an easy task.
"Let's not talk about this. The captain said that we should take a small number of patients out this afternoon. If there are too many, we won't be able to handle it if something happens. Xiao Qin, you know their conditions best. Which patients do you think should be selected?" Ye Xing asked a question at the right time to divert the other party's attention.
Xiao Qin looked at the data recorded on his phone and the statistical charts he compiled, then walked over to the Chinese medicine doctor and showed him: "Senior, I think these patients are more suitable for this test. They take their medicine regularly and do not delay. In addition, they had no bad habits before they got sick. They have a regular schedule during their time in the team, so it should be difficult for them to make mistakes."
"Very good," Ye Xuan nodded, "Xiao Qin, I am very relieved that you are in charge of this matter."
"I won't let you down!" Xiao Qin said seriously.
A relationship of mutual trust is particularly important when it comes to jointly treating patients.
Patients entrust their health and lives to doctors, and treatment must not be affected by the doctors' internal problems.
Fortunately, both the Chinese doctor and Qin had the utmost trust in the person around them.
"Let's go and notify the patient now. I'll contact the captain to prepare a car." Ye Xuan took out his cell phone and walked towards the treatment room while typing.
There are five patients and the number of accompanying personnel will also increase.
He and Xiao Qin must go, and the captain will bring a few more people, so one car probably won’t be able to accommodate them all.
For some reason, I feel excited about going on a team building trip.
If the symptoms of the infected person are more serious, then...
Walking zombies?
