Boss Pei's Daily Life, Season One, Episode One:
I looked at my Rolex, not because I wanted to look at the time, but because I wanted to let you know that I was a nouveau riche.
Today, I had a sudden urge to create a game that would make gamers spend as much money as they could.
I casually sold a Rolex and collected two hundred thousand for the initial R&D.
An hour later, when the task was handed over to the new intern, the funding had shrunk by three-quarters.
Looking at the prices on the resource website, I felt slightly gratified. The people below me were quite honest.
Now, the intern was left with fifty thousand.
When he heard that he was going to use fifty thousand to develop a game, his expression changed from confusion to doubt, to surprise, to begging, and finally, to resignation. It was really fun.
I could not help but feel happy. It looked like I, who had dominated the business world, was finally going to taste failure.
I never thought that I would create a game that would make gamers spend as much money as they could.
The intern had created a boring eight-hour drive game that was loved by gamers. In just two weeks, it had sold more than two hundred thousand copies.
Therefore, I was happy and gave him a month of paid leave, allowing him to explore the famous mountains and rivers of our country and continue to find inspiration for game design.
Looking at the rise of a future star designer, I felt fulfilled and gratified. I had accomplished yet another small, insignificant goal.
Sigh, the daily life of a game designer is usually this simple and boring.
…
Zhu Xiaoce had finished writing the script for the first episode like a whirlwind. He was even longing for more.
"Brother Huang, how is it?!"
Huang Sibo read through it. "Not bad! There are jokes, twists, and dark humor. This script is good!
"What's more, all of these are based on Boss Pei's real experiences!
"The scenes were taken directly from the company, and the actors and settings were all ready-made. One episode would take at most half an hour or an hour. Including the post-production time, one episode would be completed every two days. That would be more than enough.
"However … the only problem is that the success of this game was actually within Boss Pei's plan. Isn't it inappropriate for us to make it feel unexpected?
"Wouldn't we be lowering Boss Pei's image?"
Zhu Xiaoce shook his head. "Ai, art comes from life, but it's above life! Art was meant to be reworked. I believe that with Boss Pei's magnanimity, he wouldn't care about this. "
Huang Sibo thought for a moment. "Hmm, that's true!"
The two of them instantly became excited.
Zhu Xiaoce continued to work on the script for the next episode. From time to time, he would ask Zhu Xiaoce about the details of Boss Pei's daily work and some interesting things in the development of the game.
On the other hand, Huang Sibo started to purchase equipment and recruit post-production staff.
At this pace, they could officially start shooting in two or three days!
…
February 9th.
There were still three days before the Spring Festival holiday.
During these three days, Pei Qian was slightly busy.
The final design draft for Game Designer had to be written and finalized. Once the holidays were over, they would officially start researching and developing it.
As for the internet cafe, preparations had to be done as well. The renovations would begin after the New Year. The goal was to complete the renovations and decorations within a month and officially open for business.
As for the name of the internet cafe, Pei Qian had already decided on it.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe!
In short, he hoped that all the employees in this internet cafe would slack off every day and incur losses as soon as possible.
Just like Tengda, this was Pei Qian's wish.
Finally, there was the short video Boss Pei's Daily Life.
Director Zhu Xiaoce and Pei Qian had agreed to shoot the first episode today and release it during the New Year.
To show their sincerity, they had already transferred all the remuneration for the three seasons to Pei Qian's bank card in one go. It was a total of thirty thousand yuan!
Pei Qian's Personal Wealth at his disposal had instantly reached fifty thousand yuan!
Boss Pei, who had never been so rich before, felt great!
As the saying went, if you took someone's money, you would help them eliminate disasters.
Boss Pei was already prepared to appear onscreen.
In the afternoon, Zhu Xiaoce, Huang Sibo, and two other people arrived on time.
Out of all the equipment on him, the most expensive was a SLR camera that cost more than fifty thousand yuan. The other tripods, light shields, and the like added up to less than ten thousand yuan.
Seeing Huang Sibo so thrifty, Pei Qian instinctively felt unhappy.
He did not look like an employee of Tengda at all!
However, since Zhu Xiaoce said that the one million yuan would be spent, Pei Qian naturally had no reason to ask.
"Boss Pei, this episode is very simple. It's just a matter of a few scenes. You don't even need to look at the script. You don't even need to say the lines.
Zhu Xiaoce was very thoughtful. He was afraid that memorizing lines for Boss Pei would waste Boss Pei's precious working time. Thus, he took care of everything.
"For the first scene, you are lying on the sofa in the guest room. Raise your hand and look at your Rolex.
"For the second scene, you are holding this game magazine. Flip to the poster introducing the new game and click on it.
"For the third scene, you are smiling as you look into the distance with a meaningful look …"
Pei Qian did not have many scenes. It was a one-minute video. Although Pei Qian had the most scenes, it was at most twenty seconds.
Pei Qian casually struck a few poses. In less than ten minutes, the filming was over.
"Alright, Boss Pei. The filming is over! You can continue with your work. "
Zhu Xiaoce kept his equipment and prepared to film the other scenes.
That's it???
Pei Qian was confused.
What were they filming?
The short video was filmed in this manner without a specific storyline. How could this work?
Indeed, this video was going to be a loss!
Pei Qian returned to his office, feeling much more relaxed.
He had a good eye for talent. Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce did not disappoint him!
Although losing one million yuan wouldn't be of much help to him, it was still something to be happy about.
Pei Qian looked at his Rolex and thought to himself, These two are really thrifty. They even want to borrow a watch from me. They are really thrifty.
Eh?
Wait a minute …
Pei Qian suddenly realized a blind spot.
Rolex!
Why did I have to look at the Rolex in the first scene?
Was this a coincidence?
No, there were other blind spots!
For example … why did I have to lie on the sofa and look at the Rolex?
Why did I have to reveal a meaningful smile …
Why did these scenes look a little familiar??
Pei Qian suddenly realized that something was wrong!
Something bad was going to happen!
He hurriedly jumped up from his office chair and left his office.
At that moment, Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo had completed their filming. They were packing their tripods, light shields, and other equipment, preparing to leave.
"Director Zhu! Wait! "Pei Qian quickly stopped Zhu Xiaoce.
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned. "What's wrong, Boss Pei? Is there anything else?"
"Erm, can I take a look at the script for this short video?" Pei Qian pretended to be nonchalant and asked casually.
Zhu Xiaoce nodded and handed a script over. "Of course, here."
Pei Qian reached out and took it.
"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first, Boss Pei. We're going to edit."
Everyone said goodbye to Pei Qian and left.
Pei Qian took the script and returned to his office.
The script was not long. He finished it after a quick glance.
After reading it, Pei Qian collapsed on his chair.
"I … I saw a ghost!"
"Isn't this a combination of Zhu Yidan's Boring Life and Unexpectedly!!!"
