Chapter 68 The boss from outside the city knows how to spend money!
Lu Ming put his phone aside and checked the system panel.
Soon, the [Player Emotion Dashboard] slowly emerged.
Angry: 29%
Waiting and seeing: 18%
Top: 35%
Comfortable: 13%
Running away: 1%
Really good: 4%
“…”
The anger level, which had once soared, was slowly falling back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There’s even an extra emotional value for “It smells really good”!
This is not a joke!
It’s all because of this Beishan game!
Why are you imitating us?
Looking at this sentiment panel, Lu Ming felt that this settlement cycle was even more difficult.
It was naturally negative before because it was really done poorly.
But now the game's reputation is gradually recovering, players' acceptance is increasing, and hot memes are frequently appearing.
The emotion of scolding was diluted and the accumulation of debt value slowed down.
With this wave of traffic, the criticism of "氪命修仙" has become less and less!
Just make a small profit, there’s no way to stop it!
After all, the money earned from the game is still money! It just goes into the company account!
"But the further you go, the harder it is to find fault."
"I can't rely on 'Kryptonian Cultivation' anymore. It's time to prepare for the next project."
…
A few days later, Jingyue's first team building officially ended.
Everyone dragged their luggage and took the return high-speed train straight to Shanghai.
All the employees of the war also accompanied them. Along the way, a group of people discussed non-stop.
"This team building is really luxurious. Our previous team building activities were at the barbecue stall downstairs..."
"It was my first time staying in a sea view room, and the bonfire at night was absolutely amazing. I took over 500 pictures, and I'll post them online to make a mashup later!"
"The company should have been acquired long ago! I was a little reluctant to let it go before!"
The entire Whale Leap team, a total of more than one hundred people, gathered at the headquarters in the Magic City.
Looking at the full office, Lu Ming once again realized that the office was not enough!
It’s still not big enough!
It would be great if we could really build our own building like Tencent!
The more you use money, the less it has!
Then, we arranged accommodation for everyone, and everyone communicated and studied on Jingyue for a while.
Then, a few backbone members who were in the midst of the war stayed behind,
In the conference room, sunlight shines through the blinds and onto the projection screen.
Lu Ming pulled out a chair and sat down, and Zhou Yizhou followed suit.
Lu Ming flipped through the pages of the PPT, and on the top page were written four words: [Bullet Time].
"In fact, you have laid a very good foundation."
Lu Ming spoke in a relaxed tone, as if speaking casually, but his eyes showed a seriousness.
"Now for your new project, just change the name and the shell, and revive it as it is, and use this time bullet framework model again."
He paused, then leaned back with a smile, "What do you think?"
Zhou Yizhou was stunned for a moment:
"Resurrected as it was? ... Taken down, boss, this game has been taken down!"
"Players have lined up all the way to Hokkaido to curse me. I guess no one will watch me revive again!"
"I know."
Lu Ming picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"So if it really doesn't work out, you can change the name! But the basic logical framework doesn't need to change!"
"Like I said before, the most important thing for you is to keep your original intention!"
After all, for a game, players still have to be attracted!
When you make a game, you always have to find ways to lure people in and kill them, right?
After a pause, Lu Ming continued,
"This is your first project after joining Whale Leap!"
"To show the company's appreciation for you, I plan to invest 50 million in your project."
“…”
The air suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Yizhou was completely stunned.
Fifty...fifty million?!
Are you kidding me? When they started Bullet Time, the total budget was only a few million, and they didn't even dare to do CG!
"Boss, you...how much did you say?"
He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Fifty million." Lu Ming looked calm.
"If you think it's not enough, tell me again."
After all, it's only three months, and there are 80 million in the company account now, you have to spend it!
“…”
Zhou Yizhou's mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn't know whether to express gratitude or to say he received it.
He really didn't expect that President Lu actually trusted him so much!
They are actually willing to invest so much in a new company of theirs!
Even the mother-in-law is not so generous to her daughter-in-law!
He had asked other people in the office before, and the investment in "氪命修仙" was not that much!
If 50 million is really invested this time, then this will be the largest investment project of Jingyue so far!
Just give it to him directly?
This is a pearl!
If he had a coat with him now, Zhou Yizhou would pick it up without hesitation and put it on Lu Ming!
Zhou Yizhou felt his blood boiling and was even more loyal to Lu Ming!
Working under Mr. Lu is much more comfortable than being his own boss!
With so much investment, he can make the game richer!
Zhou Yizhou felt that the thoughts in his heart were beginning to emerge again!
"If you invest so much, you can't make online games!"
Zhou Yizhou gritted his teeth, his voice trembling.
"The online game model is not suitable. If we are going to make a game, we should make it a single-player game."
“And it’s…”
He paused, lowering his voice.
"A true single-player shooter."
"We can do without krypton gold and a shopping mall, and just complete the process in one go, making a large-scale role-playing game that focuses on story, mechanics, and depth."
"Maybe... it can be considered a true AAA single-player FPS!"
As Lu Ming watched this scene, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a look of great relief flashed in his eyes.
Yes, that’s the energy!
Jingyue's first game was said to be an allusion to reality, but it became a hit!
The second one is a pay-to-win turn-based game. The original intention was to discourage players by charging for premium, but it became a hit!
But, after listening to what Zhou Yizhou just said!
Lu Ming felt that the other party had walked out of his own path!
If you say you want to make a shooting online game with a shopping mall, players may still endure and continue playing.
But now you say you want 50 million to make a "pure domestic 3A single-player FPS"?
That's it!
Isn’t this the same as spending 50 million to make an art film?
Thinking about the experience of visiting Qiantang before,
Then think about the two games produced before Zhan Huo Lian Tian that I had personally seen!
Lu Ming was very satisfied!
It has to be a boss from outside the city who is willing to spend money.
First of all, the planning of a 3A game project is far more than 50 million!
It seems that we can only continue to release DLC later.
It’s good to know how to spend money! It’s even better to know how to spend money continuously!
Moreover, as long as this idea is exposed,
By then, just the project promotion period alone will be enough to make people ridicule you like a sieve!
"Fifty million to make a domestically produced standalone game? Where did the money go?"
"How dare you sell it like this? Why don't you just rob it?"
"Another manufacturer using the 3A banner to defraud money!"
…
Lu Ming could already begin to imagine how quickly the [Anger] column on the emotional dashboard would reach 100%!
Perfect!
This is a masterpiece tailor-made for the moral debt system!
"Okay!" Lu Ming slammed the table.
"You're right! This is a great idea!"
"If we're going to do it, let's do it on a big scale."
He turned on his phone and sent a voice message to Lao Wang.
"Lao Wang, additional investment of 10 million for the new project of Zhanhuoliantian"
Seeing Lu Ming's operation,
Zhou Yizhou was completely dumbfounded.
"You...you add again?!"
"Yes." Lu Ming said seriously.
"I admire you."
"I like people like you who don't consider the market, don't consider commercial returns, and just want to make real games."
"As long as you follow your previous ideas for 'Bullet Time', don't worry, I'll have your back!"
…
