At Shang Yang Games …
Everyone was immersed in the excitement of being injected with stimulants.
Boss Pei's two million yuan in publicity funds was like a shot in the arm!
Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version's figures were not good after it was released. Everyone was anxious.
At first, everyone was confused. Fortunately, Director Lin decided to develop a mobile version of the game. She wanted to make Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version into a game that connected mobile and computer data. That gave everyone a direction to work towards.
However, would the mobile version be able to turn the situation around? No one could guarantee it.
From the current situation, the biggest problem with changing the game to a mobile version was not money but time.
If it failed, it would be like adding hail to snow to the current situation.
Yet, Boss Pei praised the game so much and offered another two million yuan in publicity funds. That showed how much trust Boss Pei had in everyone!
Everyone was deeply moved. They were even more determined to improve Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version.
Someone had already contacted these Hong Kong celebrities according to the list that Boss Pei had arranged.
Wang Xiaobin looked at the list and could not help but sigh. "I have to say that Boss Pei is very experienced in choosing people. He must have thought about this carefully.
"Zhang Zuting and these people are Hong Kong celebrities of the older generation. Their films are very influential among the middle-aged crowd. It will be very effective for us to promote our target audience."
"Zhang Zuting's net worth is the highest. Let him film a film to attract widespread attention. Then, use the same amount of money to hire four cheaper Hong Kong celebrities. Not only would the price-performance ratio be high, but it would also create a collective effect. That would be the best publicity.
"I have to say that Boss Pei's move is really brilliant."
Ye Zhizhou agreed. "That's right. Boss Pei is a genius when it comes to publicity. I'm afraid he's the best in the domestic games market.
"I'm just a little ashamed and a little regretful. It would be great if our game was more impressive. The current situation is really letting down Boss Pei's publicity funds. "
Wang Xiaobin comforted him. "Don't worry. Aren't we working on the mobile version? Once the mobile version is released, these advertisements will still be effective. The accumulated popularity will explode sooner or later. "
Ye Zhizhou nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's right! We have to work harder. We cannot let Boss Pei down! "
…
…
September 11th, Monday.
Bao Xu was filled with emotions as he stepped onto Jingzhou's soil once again.
He was finally back!
During this month of paid leave, Bao Xu flew to Europe and visited four or five cities. He changed cities almost every week.
In short, it was a long story!
To Bao Xu, he wished that he could immediately delete and reformat all the images of the foreign lands in his mind. The past month was like a nightmare to him.
It was not because of the destination. In Bao Xu's mind, as long as he left Jingzhou, no matter how beautiful the garden city was, he would still feel like he was having a nightmare.
Fortunately, although Bao Xu was addicted to surfing the Internet after going to college, he still managed to get into college properly. His English was not bad, and he brought a translator with him. Finally, he managed to complete the task of traveling abroad.
But no matter what, Bao Xu still felt a deep sense of despair after this trip.
When he reached Jingzhou in the wee hours of the morning, Bao Xu returned to his rented apartment to sleep. He slept until noon and then decided to make a trip to Tengda in the afternoon.
During the trip, he bought some local snacks and goods as gifts. He had to distribute them to everyone in the office.
What's more, he did not know how Repent and be Saved was progressing after a month. Li Yada had taken over as chief planner, and he did not know if she could do the game well.
…
When he arrived at the office, everyone was busy.
When they saw Bao Xu, they immediately welcomed him warmly.
"Brother Bao, you're back!"
"Brother Bao, was Europe fun?"
"You look a little tanned."
"Your hair seems to have grown longer?"
"It should be quite cold over there in this season, right?"
Bao Xu greeted everyone one by one and distributed the gifts he had brought with him.
Li Yada had been working hard on her document. When she saw Bao Xu, she quickly stood up. "Brother Bao! You came at the right time. I have a question to ask! "
Bao Xu's face turned pale. "I'm too tired! We'll talk about it another day! "
"Ah, alright." Li Yada nodded, but she could not help but feel puzzled.
Why did it feel like Bao Xu was a little listless and not as active as before?
In the past, Bao Xu would enthusiastically answer anyone's questions about the design or anything they wanted to ask for advice.
What's more, Bao Xu would often try out the games he was working on. If he had any suggestions, he would look for the designer in charge.
The last time he went on a trip, he would try out the games on the day he came back and quickly get into work mode.
However, today, Bao Xu did not seem to be interested in work.
Soon, Bao Xu distributed all the gifts, including Boss Pei's, who was trying out the games in his office.
Then, he returned to his desk and opened a foreign 3A game. He put on his headphones and entered autistic mode.
This was something he had thought about long ago during this month of suffering.
The first thing he did when he returned to the office was to hide his abilities and bide his time!
As a semi-autistic child, every time Bao Xu used his broken English to communicate with foreigners in Europe, he would curse inwardly. The tears he shed now were all because of his brain!
Now that he thought about it, it was unexpected that he had been chosen as the second most outstanding employee, but it was also reasonable.
He should have expected this serious consequence!
Lu Mingliang was the chief planner and had put in the most effort in the development of the games. Who had put in the second most effort?
It was Bao Xu.
That was because Bao Xu had worked the hardest in the entire design team. He had been in charge of the game's creativity since Ocean Stronghold. Usually, Bao Xu would give suggestions on the gameplay, details, and balance.
His presence was off the charts. Who else would they vote for if not him?
This time, Bao Xu thought about it carefully. If things continued like this, he would only have two possibilities for the next best employee award.
The first was to be like Lu Mingliang and leave with the one million Dream Fund.
This was not bad. However, the thought of leaving his colleagues and the design team made Bao Xu reluctant.
The second was to get another month of paid leave and go on a trip.
That was the scariest!
Although he had won twice in a row, there were still many places in the world to go. Bao Xu did not think that there would be an end to this suffering.
Thus, Bao Xu made up his mind. I want to be a slacker!
He would play games all day and reduce his presence to the minimum.
Although he was worried that Li Yada would not be able to do her job as the chief planner, he could not guide her in front of everyone. He could only answer them privately and secretly.
He could not attract anyone's attention again!
Actually, Bao Xu was very nervous. He felt that he was letting Boss Pei down by slacking off like this.
However, to avoid this misfortune for the next best employee award, Bao Xu had to work hard. At the very least, he had to deceive most people.
After playing for half an hour, Bao Xu exited the game and peeked out from behind his desk. He carefully observed his surroundings.
Boss Pei was still in his office. He had not come out yet.
Everyone else was also working hard. No one was paying attention to him.
Bao Xu carefully sent a message to Li Yada: "Message me privately if you have any problems. Don't make it public."
…
…
In the office, Pei Qian ate the biscuits and chocolates that Bao Xu had brought back. He was leisurely browsing Aili Island.
Today's suffering was over. There were only two bosses left before he could complete the six realms of rebirth and existence.
There were about three weeks left until Repent and be Saved was released. That was plenty of time.
Thus, he was not anxious at all.
On Aili Island's website, a new video compilation was pushed to the front page.
'The Brainwashing Bloody Battle Song Compilation'!
At first, there was only Zhang Zuting. Now, it had become a family portrait: Zhang Zuting and his four good brothers.
Everyone was wearing the same awkward clothes, holding the same awkward props, and speaking the same awkward Hong Kong dialect. The entire scene was very similar.
Although the other people's names could not create a meme as good as' Zha Zhuti ', that did not dampen the enthusiasm of the idiotic netizens. That could be seen from the comments, bullet screen comments, and popularity of the video.
"Shocking! I'm actually watching advertisements on Aili Island!"
"Normally, fifteen seconds would be considered too long. I actually watched ten minutes of advertisements …"
"That's true. Everyone else skipped the advertisements, but I searched for them."
"I can only say that this game company is really an advertising genius. Each person only had less than two minutes of footage, but they managed to edit it into more than ten different versions!"
"The advertising slogan is too brainwashing. I'm laughing like crazy!"
"I don't even dare to pause the video once it's full screen. I'm afraid that it will enter a webpage."
"I'm Zha Zhuti. If you're my brother, come and bite me … and my four brothers!"
After watching the latest advertisement, Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction.
En, good friends should be neat and tidy!
Now, Zhang Zuting, the founder of web-based games, would be stable. As for the others, they would be the Four Little Heavenly Kings of web-based games. Together, they would be able to form an old Hong Kong team and debut.
Seeing how embarrassed Zhang Zuting's four good friends were while filming web-based games advertisements, Pei Qian guessed that Zhang Zuting would be able to hold his head high the next time they met.
After all, everyone had filmed such embarrassing advertisements, and Zhang Zuting's endorsement fee was the highest.
Zhang Zuting would probably feel that he was worth more than his four brothers.
Pei Qian casually gave Old Zhang a hand. He only felt one thing: great satisfaction!
Zhang Zuting would probably be very pleased, right?
Satisfied, Pei Qian closed the website. Then, out of habit, he opened the platform of Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version to take a look and confirmed that everything was fine.
Although this wave of advertisements had caused some numbers to rise, from the looks of it, it was still far from the warning line.
Pei Qian did not know what Ye Zhizhou, Lin Wan, and the others had been busy with all day. However, from the looks of the current situation, they probably had not thought of doing a good job.
In any case, as long as the numbers did not improve, everything would be fine.
After confirming that everything was safe, Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
Although he had been feeling uneasy recently, Pei Qian did not know what to do next. He could only wait quietly for Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's new branch to open and for Repent and be Saved to be released.
After leaving the office, Pei Qian could not help but glance at Bao Xu.
Ever since he returned from overseas, Bao Xu's skin had obviously become tanner. He looked much healthier.
Pei Qian did not know if he was imagining things, but he felt that his hairline had recovered slightly. The reforestation project seemed to be working.
"At this rate, will he become a long-haired artist if he goes out a few more times? Hmm, just thinking about it makes me feel good.
"Eh? He's not experiencing Repent and be Saved. "
Pei Qian acutely discovered a blind spot.
Bao Xu was actually playing an overseas AAA game. What's more, he looked like he was playing casually. He did not take screenshots or jot down details in his notebook like before.
This meant that he was not researching other games. He was just … playing them.
According to Bao Xu's previous habits, he would have played Repent and be Saved enthusiastically, found a bunch of problems, and handed them to others to fix.
However, Bao Xu seemed to have become a different person this time. He put on his headphones and looked like he was not paying attention to anything else.
He was just short of writing the words' I'm isolating myself 'on his face.
Pei Qian pondered for a while and immediately understood.
Bao Xu was once bitten, twice shy!
He was worried that he would be chosen as an outstanding employee again. Thus, he decided to slack off so that everyone would not notice him. That way, they would not vote for him again.
That way, he would not have to suffer the pain of a month of paid leave.
Pei Qian realized that Bao Xu was slacking off like crazy. Not only did he not get angry, but he also smiled happily.
As expected, my Best Employee Selection was quite effective!
Although it was slightly different from what I had expected, I still achieved the result I wanted perfectly!
The first-place-elimination system was indeed the core guideline that Tengda should continue to follow.
Very good, Bao Xu, if you continue like this, I will definitely give you a promotion and a raise in the future!
Even a motivated employee like Bao Xu could be turned into a slacker by me, let alone others.
Pei Qian was in a good mood and left with a peace of mind.
Bao Xu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Boss Pei leaving in the elevator from the corner of his eye.
Bao Xu had no choice. Right now, the entire company had to be on guard against him!
He was not targeting Boss Pei. No matter who passed by now, Bao Xu acted as if he was facing a formidable enemy and switched screens at lightning speed.
He looked around again to make sure that no one was looking at him. Then, he quickly changed the program, switched the game to the background, and opened the document to edit it.
This feeling was a little strange, and Bao Xu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He had to be sneaky even when he was working in the company. What the hell!
