"Ding Xiyao? I'm Meng Chang. Welcome, welcome. "
"Come, let me tell you about the script."
Meng Chang called Ding Xiyao to the side and sized her up.
She was not particularly beautiful, but she had a round face, short hair, regular facial features, big eyes, and slightly chubby cheeks. She naturally gave off a friendly feeling.
Meng Chang had specially instructed her to wear her professional attire yesterday. After all, she had to highlight her identity as an intermediary.
Meng Chang had seen the photos previously and was a little worried that they were photoshopped. Now that he saw the real person, he realized that they were not much different from the photos and heaved a sigh of relief.
Looks were quite important.
Even though Meng Chang had made it clear that he did not want celebrities and only wanted ordinary people who were down-to-earth, there were also requirements for the image of ordinary people. If the audience hated them at first glance, the Pei Corporation's publicity method would have collapsed from the beginning and they would not be able to continue.
The two of them sat down on the sofa beside the model room of Sloth Apartments. Meng Chang handed the script to Ding Xiyao.
The script was very thin and only had a few pages. What's more, most of the content was about the setting, actions, and expressions. There were almost no lines, only a voice-over.
Ding Xiyao quickly scanned the script.
These scenes were quite familiar to her: working seriously at her desk and screening the houses; walking through the alleys and corners to look at the houses; introducing the characteristics of the houses to the client, Ren Zhen, but the client turned around and rented another place. She hung up the phone with a disappointed expression; not being understood by the client and even being scolded in the nose, she could only lower her head and apologize. When she returned home, she secretly wiped her tears …
On the surface, this seemed to be a promotional video that emphasized how hard it was for an intermediary to work. It took the warm route and hoped to use these real-life scenes to arouse people's tolerance and understanding.
The only thing that made Ding Xiyao feel that it was a little similar to reality was the setting of the shop and the work desk. The script was not very detailed, but there was a picture.
The picture showed a very small store. It was not like other stores with many work desks and agents coming and going. Instead, it only had a relatively tall front desk, two high chairs, a coffee table, and a single sofa, which formed the reception area.
From all aspects, this small shop could only accommodate one person. There would definitely not be such an intermediary shop in reality.
However, Ding Xiyao did not think too much about it. She felt that this was a promotional video after all, and a promotional video would definitely beautify the real situation.
Just like many movies and TV dramas, the workplace could not be exactly the same as the real workplace, right? All kinds of workstations were crowded together, and the people working were sleepy and listless. It looked realistic, but the audience did not buy it.
This promotional video was probably considered that if it was filmed truthfully, the other colleagues would appear more redundant, and the scene would be more chaotic. Therefore, it was better to cut them all and only keep the main character's scenes.
Ding Xiyao didn't really understand these things, but after a simple deduction, this should be the reason.
After all, it was just a promotional video. It was nothing more than publicity and beautification. How complicated could it be?
Meng Chang said, "There's something I have to say first. After this promotional video is released, you might be scolded."
"But it's only a possibility. The possibility is relatively small, and even if he gets scolded, he'll be able to clear his name very soon."
"I'm just reminding you that although the risk isn't great, it does exist."
Ding Xiyao was puzzled. "Scolded?"
"It can't be, right?"
"I think the content of this promotional video is quite normal."
"Besides, I'm just an actress. There shouldn't be any reason for it to affect me, right?"
Meng Chang smiled. "That's why I said the risk isn't great. There might be some extreme people who will attack you. Do you have Weibo? If you do, for safety's sake, turn off your private messages. "
Ding Xiyao felt a little relieved. "I don't think there's a problem."
The amount of money given to the lead actor for this promotional video was quite a lot. Ding Xiyao felt that it wasn't something that went against her conscience. Even if someone criticized this promotional video because of their stereotypical impression of intermediaries, it wouldn't affect her.
Even if there were people who were more extreme, it would not have much of an impact.
When she was a real estate agent, she had experienced many prejudices and coldness. She had the ability to withstand that.
"Then, Boss Meng, is there any deeper meaning to this promotional video? I'm afraid I don't understand it well. Can you explain it to me briefly? "
Even if she had never eaten pork before, she had seen a pig run.
Although Ding Xiyao had never filmed a promotional video before, filming a promotional video should be similar to filming a movie. The scene was just a facade, and the entire film had some deeper meaning. This was controlled by the director and screenwriter.
As a non-professional actress and a complete layman, Ding Xiyao did not understand this at all. Therefore, she asked Meng Chang so that she could better grasp the script and act according to the requirements.
Meng Chang shook his head. "There's no meaning. Oh, no, I should say that even if there's meaning, it has nothing to do with your performance. "
"I only have one request for your acting skills. Act as yourself."
"Try to act out the feelings you had at work. Just make it real. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Ding Xiyao nodded. "Alright, I'll feel it and prepare it."
Meng Chang asked Ding Xiyao to hold the script and prepare her emotions while he went to check the set.
About half an hour later, he returned.
"Alright, let's start filming." Meng Chang looked at the time. It was about time.
Ding Xiyao panicked. "Huh? I haven't even memorized the script yet. "
Meng Chang smiled. "It's fine. Just shoot. I know what I'm doing."
"All departments, take note. Get ready to start filming!"
…
At the same time, on the Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
Yan Qi was worried about what to do with the new game.
After a series of twists and turns, the Morning Dew Gaming Platform had completely gained a foothold and occupied a place in the domestic games channel.
There were no bugs in the platform's games, gamers were the masters, and game appraisers. These were all unique memories that the Morning Dew Gaming Platform brought to gamers. It was very different from other game channels.
If there were still controversies at the beginning, more and more gamers and developers had acknowledged the Morning Dew Gaming Platform now.
At first, Yan Qi was worried that the Morning Dew Gaming Platform would fail and was prepared to find another place. However, he no longer had such thoughts.
That was because he realized that after the Morning Dew Gaming Platform stabilized, it was not only a rather comfortable place, but its development prospects were also quite good!
Some time ago, a batch of outstanding independent games from the Destitution Plan had been released, enriching the game library of the Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
Some other outstanding manufacturers had also begun to seek cooperation.
The only thing that Yan Qi felt was a pity was that the Morning Dew Gaming Platform never took the initiative to seek cooperation from those big manufacturers. It almost did not sign any exclusive or first release of super masterpieces. It had a completely passive attitude of waiting.
This also caused the Morning Dew Gaming Platform to temporarily stop as a niche platform.
Even though the players on the platform had a strong sense of belonging and identity with the platform, it was ultimately a pity that there were not enough phenomenal masterpieces.
Many gaming platforms quickly became popular because they had signed a super popular game. Starting from the XX game launcher, they developed step by step.
Without the support of a super popular game, the platform would always lack some confidence.
Logically speaking, given the current size and financial resources of the Morning Dew Gaming Platform, it should be able to negotiate with some big manufacturers and take the initiative to make some concessions.
However, the Morning Dew Gaming Platform had never done so.
Yan Qi felt that it was a pity. That was because if the Morning Dew Gaming Platform became more popular, his game would naturally benefit more.
However, on further thought, perhaps this was what was special about the Morning Dew Gaming Platform. It would always do something unexpected.
If he really contacted those big manufacturers to discuss cooperation as he thought, the Morning Dew Gaming Platform would definitely have to make some compromises. They might not be able to maintain their current state.
It was not bad to fight steadily like this.
After the Game Appraiser became popular, the Morning Dew Gaming Platform did not take the opportunity to increase publicity, finance, or cooperate with other big manufacturers. It did not make any big moves. Instead, it continued to work on the platform's content.
As more and more games were released, the difficulty of the review increased. In order to ensure that there were no bugs, they naturally had to be more careful.
Of course, the so-called bug-free was just a saying. In fact, there were no malicious bugs that seriously affected the operation of the game. It was difficult to completely eliminate small mistakes.
However, no matter what, there was already a fundamental difference compared to other gaming platforms.
Previously, Yan Qi had been extremely busy trying to find a platform to work on. This was because the Blade of the Empire Sword was like his own flesh and blood, and he couldn't entrust it to the wrong person. To a certain extent, this had seriously affected his energy in developing the game.
However, now, he had made up his mind to only go on the Morning Dew Gaming Platform and the official platform. He would go on other platforms if he could, and he would not force them if he couldn't.
With the Morning Dew Gaming Platform as a guarantee, he could think of new games without any worries.
Although the Blade of the Empire Empire was still being updated and was still making money, Yan Qi did not want to continue indefinitely.
That was because the Blade of the Empire Empire was ultimately a mobile game with paywalls. Even if the price was more reasonable, it was not the game that Yan Qi wanted to make the most.
During this period of time, Yan Qi suddenly felt that he should make more meaningful games as he watched one indie game after another appear on the Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
Previously, he made games with paywalls to make money to support the company. There was really no better way.
However, now that Blade of the Empire Empire could make money and support the company, and he had a good platform, why not make a game that he liked more?
