Chapter 167 A decision that goes against one’s original intention!
A few days later, in the Jingyue office,
Lin Zhi has been extremely busy these days.
Since she took charge of the Deep Blue platform comic community, the number of submissions has almost tripled.
There are about ten comics with over a thousand likes every day.
Many of the plots provided by players are very interesting!
Moreover, their imaginations are also very big!
The two most discussed works are:
"I Open a Supermarket in Snow Ridge, All Customers Are Monsters" and "Falling into the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, and Being Promoted by the Empress for Three Years",
A drama focusing on Northeastern supernatural + folk comedy,
The other is a sand sculpture style ancient style light power struggle, with a compact plot, novel setting, and unique style of painting.
Especially for "Snow Ridge Supermarket", every day someone shouts in the comment section:
"I want to be a monster too! Someone tell me what kind of monster I look like!"
"I'm dying of laughter today over the love story between Ula grass and Changbai ginseng!"
"Please make it anime! It has to be made!!!"
While collecting feedback, Lin Zhi asked her technical colleagues to help her extract various data indicators.
A few hours later, she walked into Lu Ming's office with two data reports and a tablet.
"Mr. Lu, I have a suggestion."
She got straight to the point.
Lu Ming didn't even look up, holding a straw in his mouth, while watching the development progress of "Misguided Primordial Chaos".
While sipping milk tea:
"you say."
"Our comics channel on the Deep Blue platform is now up and running."
“Not only did the number of submissions and activity exceed expectations, but the user stickiness and return visit rate were also higher than we anticipated…”
"But, Mr. Lu, I have an idea. We should do more than just be a submission community."
"I want to take these two most popular comics and make them into animated shorts."
"Or, take the good plots written on the platform and turn them directly into comics!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up, but he didn't express his opinion immediately.
Lin Zhi is a person with ideas.
Not only does he have experience studying abroad, but he also understands how to operate commercially and is very serious about his work. Chen Hao has recommended him many times.
Lu Ming looked at Lin Zhi, waiting for her next report.
Lin Zhi immediately switched to the PPT on the tablet and said as she demonstrated:
"Mr. Lu, look, 'Snow Ridge Supermarket' is a serialized comic book. The characters are well-developed, the story is fast-paced, and it has a large readership. It's very suitable for anime!"
"As for 'The Great Tang Dynasty', the plot is also very clear, and the characterization and dialogue are very strong, which is also very worthy of adaptation."
“Also, I’ve contacted the original authors of both films, and they’re both willing to participate in the pilot.”
"If the animation goes smoothly, our platform will be able to form a closed loop from submission to casting to animation."
"For our entire platform, this will give users a greater sense of belonging, creators a sense of anticipation, and the platform's stickiness will instantly increase."
"One more thing..."
Lin Zhi paused and her eyes became serious.
"While Whale Leap is currently making great strides in gaming, its content ecosystem is still in its infancy."
"Making animation can fill this gap."
"Also... the budget for animation projects is not too high, the costs are controllable, and the dissemination effect is strong."
After that, she handed over a budget list.
Lu Ming took it and looked at it, his eyebrows raised. The data was clear and very reasonable!
"good!"
"It's only been a few months, and you've already made the comics section so successful that you can even commercialize it through secondary creation."
"Lin Zhi, I am very satisfied with your vision and execution."
Lu Ming sat in the chair and stared at the list for a full minute.
There is nothing wrong with the data.
The ideas are also very mature.
It’s not that he didn’t understand Lin Zhi’s plate.
On the contrary, I see it too clearly.
Lin Zhi's plan was clear and the direction was clear. Even the cost of the initial trial was very low.
It is a standard "small investment, high return" operation, and can fully make up for the shortcomings of Jingyue Games in the content ecosystem.
Once this thing is successful, Jingyue Games will no longer be just a "game company".
Instead, it is a cultural and creative platform with the "IP fermentation capability".
This is a direction that is very, very worthwhile to develop.
But because of this...
Lu Ming's eyelids twitched twice.
This direction is too positive.
Too bright, too positive, too profitable.
So...what about my debt?
But it’s okay, there are only two comic projects at the moment, which are still within the acceptable range!
Moreover, this also coincides with the launch time of "Mistakenly Path to the Wilderness".
The impact can be limited.
But Lu Ming still felt indescribably complicated inside.
This girl is really capable!
The people under me are so capable!
The most important thing is that during this period, the expenses for "Mistakenly Path to the Wilderness" were consumed too quickly!
The entire core R&D team is mobilized, and most of the company's resources are allocated.
I originally thought that the investment for these two small games would be over budget!
The flow of funds suddenly became tense!
Lu Ming had already calculated the investment several times with the finance manager, Lao Wang.
Still very nervous!
It would be great if these projects could quickly become profitable!
At this stage, "Mistakenly Walking in the Wilderness" is a big project!
He must ensure that "Misguided in the Wilderness" is launched on time!
He invested all his fortune!
If the project gets stuck midway and funding is cut off, that would be a big problem.
By then, let alone giving a bad review, there is a high possibility that you won’t even have the chance to curse, and you may even die suddenly.
"well……"
Lu Ming gritted his teeth, as if he had made a difficult decision.
Well... let's make money!
Your system has come and I still have to make money myself. Your system is really a waste!
Thinking of this, Lu Ming even lowered his eyes a little depressed.
He is the man where bad reviews are king!
He is the man who took off with the criticism and made profits with the reputation!
As a result, now, I have actually begun to go against my original intention...
This is too... rational, right?!
But there's no way.
Reality is so disappointing.
The most important thing to ensure right now is that "Honghuang Midao" is launched on time!
As long as you can survive the launch node, it’s not too late to think about negative review strategies and system nesting.
Good days are yet to come!
Lu Ming believes in Beishan's ability!
I also believe in the ability of the bad review training class!
I believe more in the ability of "Honghuang Midao"!
Everything will come back!
Thinking of this, Lu Ming looked at Lin Zhi and his tone became serious:
"Well, from now on, you will be fully responsible for all matters related to platform integration."
"In addition to comics, submissions, and communities, you also have to connect with all our projects' IP linkage, platform placement, and content collaboration."
"I'll promote you to the position of Chief Business Officer of Whale Leap Games."
"You get the resources and authority you deserve. We at Jingyue want people who can take on tasks, see things clearly, and see things through to the end."
"You do a good job!"
Lin Zhi opened her eyes wide.
"...Me? Business Manager?"
How long have I been here?
Doesn’t Jingyue promote people according to the routine?
I haven't given any gifts yet!
Didn’t my uncle ask me to take some time to go to his place and get a few bottles of good wine to give away?
Make a good impression on your boss, but you haven’t gone to get it yet?
Is this a promotion?
Moreover, this position seems to be almost on the same level as Brother Hao!
"Aren't you already doing this?"
On the opposite side, Lu Ming was serious. Now that he had made the decision, he would no longer hesitate.
"If you do a good job, then you deserve the title."
Lin Zhi was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly reacted and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.
Okay!
That feeling of excitement in my heart is back!
"Boss Lu, I...I will definitely not let you down!"
Lu Ming nodded, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Okay, go ahead. Don't get sentimental with me. I still have a few map ideas that I'm still struggling with."
Lin Zhi nodded heavily and turned to leave.
She knew that from this moment on, she was no longer just a small person in charge of the submission area.
What she wants to do is to create Jingyue’s content engine.
And she will never let Mr. Lu down.
