At Red Shark Game Company, Wei Yang got started with the beta version of "My Love from the Star" with Tu Ming's explanation.
Tu Ming is a talent that Wei Yang hired with a lot of money. He is proficient in technology and management. He previously worked for NetEase and Perfect World respectively. He is currently the general manager of Red Shark Games.
Wei Yang played for a while and was quite satisfied with the aesthetics and smoothness of the game, but he was not very interested in the game itself.
This is normal, as the game user group is not intended for veterans like him.
Young people, teenagers and female groups are the main target of this game.
"Send this game to me later, and I'll let some friends play it and see their feedback."
"OK."
Tu Ming reported the situation to him again. This game is currently in the internal testing stage. It is in talks with some agents and platforms, as well as some promotion and publicity. It is expected to be officially launched in September.
Wei Yang came here this time to cooperate in shooting some materials and promotional advertisements. He is considered the spokesperson and promotion ambassador of the game "My Love from the Star".
As for Fan Xiaopang, he already has a game endorsement, and the price is too high. It is impossible for Wei Yang to waive millions or tens of millions of dollars in fees with just a few words. Even if Fan Xiaopang agrees, other people in her team will not agree.
Therefore, the plan of Wei Fan CP to promote the game together had to be cancelled.
However, for Wei Yang's sake, Fan Xiaopang still agreed to record a promotional blessing VCR with all the main creators of "You Who Came From the Stars" for free, and also reposted the Weibo when the game was launched, which can be regarded as his best efforts.
Boss Wei was very touched and decided to return the favor to Taobao.
Currently, the game "My Love from the Star" is tentatively planned to be a mobile game, just in time to catch up with the current wave of smartphones.
However, if all aspects of the game go well, the PC version will be launched later, and they will go hand in hand.
As a love-development + dress-up game, the R&D cost of this game is not high, and the copyright and promotion are also backed by Blue Whale and Wei Yang. Not only is the price lower than the market price, but the most important thing is that it can be postponed and paid after the game becomes profitable.
This resulted in Red Shark having limited spending and having the resources to develop another action shooting game.
Wei Yang always thought the name was a bit like the Japanese learning materials in his computer - "Honkai Academy"
"The people in charge are Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei, who you recommended earlier. We have set up a special project team."
"Take me to see it."
Wei Yang was more interested in these people than Tu Ming. He followed them to a work area where several young people were working hard and looked very motivated.
These people are the founders of the famous miHoYo. Currently, they are still graduate students. They were recruited by Red Shark before they even started to consider or reach a consensus on starting a business.
Under the attention of Boss Wei, Red Sharks have invested a lot of resources in them, all their needs have been met accordingly, and they have also been given a high degree of freedom.
For several young people who are just starting out or are still in school, this is simply a dream working environment, and they are naturally full of motivation.
Wei Yang did not disturb them, but just watched quietly from a distance. However, one of them saw Wei Yang and greeted him hesitantly.
"Wei...Mr. Wei?"
Wei Yang had a bright smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, how are you, how do you feel about working in the company?"
As long as it is his cash cow, Boss Wei's attitude is very friendly.
Even if something happens, Tu Ming will be the bad guy.
To those below, the boss is wise and amiable, and it is these high-level parasites who deceive the emperor and do what they please...
Wei Yang encouraged the young people, solved some of their problems, promised them rewards for the success of the game, and painted a bright picture for the future.
"...The company values you very much. You are now a project team, but in the future you may become an independent R&D studio. Bonuses, dividends, and even equity are all possible... In short, everyone, work hard and make Red Shark the next Blizzard and Nintendo..."
After a lot of sweet talk, Boss Wei took some senior executives and backbone members of Red Shark out for a meal.
After the meal, there were naturally enthusiastic people who helped contact some entertainment venues to take everyone out for some fun and relaxation.
Boss Wei did not sit for long. As a newly rising outstanding young actor and entrepreneur, he would try to draw a line between himself and these low-end entertainment venues in the future.
He showed up to let everyone know who signed the order, made his presence felt, won over people, and then he left.
It is worth mentioning that all the orders signed by Boss Wei were for regular items such as drinks, karaoke, foot massage, and drinking companionship, and some illegal and disorderly behaviors were not included.
If there is any failure, it is purely personal behavior and has nothing to do with the company and Boss Wei...
…
In late August, Tangren and Blue Whale announced that they would collaborate to produce the well-known Qing Dynasty novel "Startling by Each Step", and confirmed that the female lead would be Liu Shishi.
The male lead was not announced directly, but Wei Yang, Hu Ge and others were brought out to hype up the TV series and increase its popularity.
However, compared with the outside media, more attention is paid to "Palace" which was officially announced to start filming in Hengdian not long ago.
According to previous information, this drama is also a Qing Dynasty drama, also set during the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods. The heroines happen to be Da Mimi and Liu Shishi, who are always known as good sisters. Considering the old grudge between Wei Yang and the dead girl, it is hard not to think too much.
Not only the reporters, but also the Tianya netizens who always love gossip, started to take action and quickly dug out the cause and effect.
Judging from the start time, "Palace" seems to be the first to be approved. Right now, "Startling by Each Step" is still in the preparation stage and is expected to start filming at least near the end of the year.
But anyone who is familiar with the situation between the two parties will know that as early as 2009, Tangren acquired the copyright of "Startling by Each Step" and planned to start filming.
Although the project had not been officially launched at that time, many media in the industry knew the news.
Cai Yinong also said in an interview before that she would shoot "Scarlet Heart" after "The Strange Hero Yizhimei".
Wei Yang himself was also asked whether he would play the second role in "Startling by Each Step" with Liu Shishi. At that time, he answered that he was not sure, which caused quite a stir in the major fan forums on Baidu at that time.
The news related to "Palace" basically started this year. After the project was announced, preparations for filming began soon after.
Rumor has it that Si Yatou also participated in the competition for the copyright of "Startling by Each Step", but was defeated by Tangren.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Many people speculated that the dead girl had "originally" created a Qing Dynasty drama, and was going to air it before "Startling by Each Step" to become the first TV series and take advantage of the popularity of Tangren, Liu Shishi, and Wei Yang.
Some people agree with this statement, while others disagree.
After all, in the case of similar themes, even if the coincidence is strange, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong. Qing Dynasty dramas are not the copyright of any particular company, so why can you shoot them but I can't?
So far, this matter has only been a small-scale debate among fans, and most people are just watching.
However, the escalation point came soon! Someone caught the real person who seemed to be the dead girl on Tieba, and netizens asked whether "Palace" was an imitation creation to take advantage of Tangren's popularity because they did not buy the copyright of "Startling by Each Step".
The dead girl replied that he did not buy the copyright of "Startling by Each Step" because he wanted to create an original plot.
Some even claim that the market is limited and that a Qing dynasty drama is saturated enough. After "Palace" is finished airing, distributors will reconsider the decision. They are openly and covertly making fun of "Startling by Each Step".
At this time, the damn girl was just bragging about herself and being sarcastic, and did not openly attack "Startling by Each Step". However, soon, Cai Yinong herself also responded to a query in the forum, which completely added fuel to the fire.
When someone asked her the difference between the two dramas, she replied [genuine and pirated].
The account of the dead girl above is only suspected to be the real person, but it is not certain. Cai Yinong’s account is a verified account, which is confirmed to be the real person.
Now the damn girl’s defense was broken, and she started to criticize Tang Ren and Cai Yinong in the forum.
First, they complained about Cai Yinong's arbitrary definition of pirated and genuine products, and then they exposed the past, saying that Tangren and Huayi had cheated others in their cooperation. They also attacked Cai for being an old woman and being a mistress, etc.
In addition, there is another account in Tieba whose language style is extremely similar to the above account. It is speculated to be a small account of Dead Girl and has stronger attack capability.
Not only did it reveal how Cai suppressed Da Mimi, it also uncovered some of the traps that the Tang people had used before, and even the story of how the beauty trap failed to seduce Wei Yang, and he lost both his wife and his soldiers, to highlight Cai's stupidity.
Regarding these things, even if it wasn't the dead girl herself, she probably knew a lot of inside information and had great malice towards Tang Ren and Cai.
Not only did the suspected dead girl's small account end up in trouble, but even Da Mimi also posted a seemingly ambiguous Weibo post with a lot of implications.
This directly angered Lao Cai, and he posted a long article on Weibo titled "Today I was bitten by a dog."
The general content of the article is also very simple. It basically says that the dead girl licked her so much in the past, but now she has turned against her and is just a mad dog. A larger part of the article is criticizing Da Mimi.
It can be seen that she has been holding it in for a long time, and she even thinks that the damn girl accused her of being caused by Da Mimi, and dug up some advertising insider information of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". Although she did not curse loudly, her words implied that Da Mimi was ungrateful.
Cai even revealed that Liu Shishi was deceived by Da Mimi and spoke well of her, but was exposed by herself, further proving that Da Mimi was a bad woman who took advantage of her friends.
As soon as this long article came out, Da Mimi and Tang Ren had completely broken off relations.
Even Hu Ge reposted Cai's Weibo and complained that although it seemed like he was implying something bad, at this juncture, he still took side.
The countless fans of the CP of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" also basically announced the end of the relationship at this moment...
The two sides were quarreling, the audience watched the excitement, and then all their attention was focused on Liu Shishi.
On one side is the company boss, and on the other side is a good sister. Everyone wants to know what she thinks.
However, Liu Shishi was as quiet as a chicken, stopped updating on Weibo, and simply disappeared.
Then everyone turned their eyes to Wei Yang. Boss Wei posted a picture of a Q-version man sitting on a small stool eating watermelon.
[It's none of my business, passers-by are just watching the fun, please don't disturb]
