March 29th, Thursday …
Three days had passed since the news of "Fantasy Battle Remake" was released.
Pei Qian specially chose to make a trip to Tengda Games today to see the development of Mission and Choice.
The reason why he did not go on the same day he learned about Fantasy Battle Remake but deliberately waited three days was mainly because he wanted to deal with it coldly and not give the impression that Boss Pei was very anxious to the project team of Mission and Choice.
Pei Qian knew very well that his attitude would seriously affect the work will and state of the entire Tengda Games department.
If Pei Qian had gone to watch Mission and Choice on the day the news of Fantasy Battle Remake was released, Hu Xianbin and the others would definitely feel that Boss Pei had high hopes for the game and was worried about them. They would also feel a strong sense of crisis and work 120% hard to finish the project.
However, Pei Qian deliberately went three days later to show an 'indifferent' attitude. Hu Xianbin and the others naturally would not feel such a strong sense of crisis.
Thus, Pei Qian's main purpose this time was to appease Hu Xianbin and the others. He wanted them to underestimate the enemy in Fantasy Battle Remake so that Mission and Choice would lose in one fell swoop!
Pei Qian strolled to Tengda Games and saw that everyone was focused on their work.
The chief designer of the project, Hu Xianbin, frowned. He was shrouded in an anxious atmosphere.
At that moment, he saw Boss Pei walk in from the main door. His dim eyes suddenly lit up.
This feeling was like a withered seedling encountering sweet rain, or a terminally ill patient encountering a godly doctor!
He immediately stood up. "Boss Pei!"
His voice was filled with indescribable joy.
Boss Pei was here, the sky would be clear. Now that Boss Pei was here, Mission and Choice would be saved!
Hu Xianbin received the news the moment the promotional video for "Fantasy Battle Remake" was released.
Hu Xianbin almost became depressed after watching the video and the netizens' comments. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
How could he be so unlucky!
Hu Xianbin could already be considered a relatively 'long-lived' chief planner of Tengda Corporation. He had taken over as the acting chief planner when Li Yada was forced to travel and was in charge of the development of GOG's mobile game. After that, he was in charge of the development of Struggle and Mission and Choice.
In the eyes of the outside world, he should have the title of 'gold medal producer'.
However, Hu Xianbin knew his place very well.
GOG's mobile game was a ported client-side game. It could be done well mainly because the client-side game had a good start. The success of Struggle was completely attributed to Boss Pei. He was only an executor. Although he was the chief designer, it was no different from an executive planner. As for Mission and Choice, it was finalized under Boss Pei's guidance with the efforts of Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, Bao Xu, and other chief designers and core personnel.
Speaking of which, he had done three big projects, and each of them was very impressive. However, he was not responsible for any of them, and he did not even get the first credit!
Under such circumstances, Hu Xianbin was already under a lot of pressure. After all, Mission and Choice had invested a huge amount of money. He also shouldered the heavy responsibility of 'continuing the legend of Tengda Games' and 'washing away the shame of the domestic games industry'.
How Hu How East East would be if he. If he were to fail, Hu How Hu.
As the game was about to be released, Hu Xianbin crazily adjusted his psychological state. He had almost calmed down, but he did not expect a Fantasy Battle Remake to appear out of nowhere!
Therefore, all the worries from before came back and became more and more intense.
Hu Xianbin had been in a very anxious state for the past three days. He would subconsciously open the promotional video for Fantasy Battle Remake and watch it over and over again.
The more he watched, the more guilty he felt!
He was worried that Mission and Choice would die. He wanted to do something, but he could not think of a good way to change it no matter how hard he racked his brains. Thus, he became even more anxious.
He wanted to call Boss Pei to ask for instructions, but he was worried that Boss Pei was busy with something else. He was worried that it would not be good for him, the chief designer, to rely on Boss Pei for everything. Thus, after hesitating for a long time, he still could not make the call.
Hu Xianbin was overjoyed to see Boss Pei now. It was as if he had finally obtained a second life!
Pei Qian said with great concern, "Eh? Why don't you look well? "
"Have you been too tired from work recently?"
"I'll give you a week's leave. Go back and rest well. Come back to work after you've conserved your energy."
Hu Xianbin was shocked. A holiday?
The fire was already burning at his eyebrows. Mission and Choice was about to be destroyed by Fantasy Battle Remake when it was released next month. He wished he could work overtime every day. How could he be in the mood to take a break?
He quickly said, "Boss Pei, I don't want to take a break. I want to work overtime!"
Pei Qian's expression darkened. "Overtime? Why are you so stubborn? "
Hu Xianbin said, "Boss Pei, haven't you seen the promotional video for Fantasy Battle Remake?"
"Our game will be released in a month. We don't have time!"
"Boss Pei, quickly give the order. How do you think 'Mission and Choice' should be changed? Give us unlimited overtime next month. I'll definitely be able to change the game before it's released!"
Hu Xianbin's speech was particularly impassioned, giving off the feeling of a warrior who would never return.
Pei Qian was so angry that he almost laughed. Alright, kid. I knew you hadn't completely changed your bad habit of working overtime!
An employee like him should have been allowed to go home and reflect on himself for a period of time. However, on further thought, the more anxious Hu Xianbin was, the faster Mission and Choice would cool down. That was a good thing. Thus, he forgave him and did not pursue the matter of Hu Xianbin working overtime.
Pei Qian pulled an office chair from the side and sat down comfortably. Then, he leaned back and crossed his legs in satisfaction.
"Where's the video? I've already seen it."
"I'm working overtime. I definitely can't work overtime."
"There's nothing much to change about the game. The current state is perfect."
"As for you saying that there's still a month before our game is released, that's actually not very accurate. Your news is outdated."
"I just received news that the release date of 'Fantasy Battle Remake' has been finalized. It's on the 14th of next month, Saturday."
"Therefore, the release date of our 'Mission and Choice' game and the movie's schedule have also been advanced by half a month to the 14th of next month!"
"You can negotiate with the official platform about the release date of the game. I've already asked Fei Huang Workspace to ask Lin Chang to help arrange for the movie's release date. There's no problem."
Hu Xianbin was completely stunned as he looked at Boss Pei, who was sitting opposite him with his legs crossed leisurely and an extremely calm expression.
He almost wondered if he had heard wrongly.
Not only did he not delay it to avoid the sharpness of 'Fantasy Battle Remake', but he had also deliberately pushed the release date forward to the same day as it?!
"Boss Pei, why do you have to do this? There's no need at all! "
"It's fine if it's the game, but why is the movie being released two weeks in advance?"
"Isn't the May Day Golden Week quite good? What do you mean by changing it to April 14th? "
Hu Xianbin felt like his worldview was about to be overturned.
Pei Qian could not help but feel secretly pleased as he looked at the dumbfounded Hu Xianbin.
Alright, it looked like he had made the right move again!
Actually, at the very beginning, the release date and movie schedule of Mission and Choice were set on May 1st. That was because Zhu Xiaoce felt that May 1st was the Golden Week. It was one of the best schedules of the year. There would be a lot of people watching the movie.
On the other hand, Mission and Choice had invested a huge sum of money and Lu Zhiyao had joined. From any angle, they should not be afraid of other movies. It would not be a problem for them to dominate the May 1st primetime slot.
The game was closely related to the movie. Of course, it had to be released on the same day.
Pei Qian had always been very dissatisfied with this movie's schedule for the same reason: it was set at such a popular time on May 1st. What if the movie blew up?
However, he had been suffering from not having a good excuse to change this schedule.
Now, the excuse was delivered to him.
Pei Qian coughed lightly. "Didn't they say that Fantasy Battle is an eternal classic in the history of RTS games?"
"It was too early when the original work was released. Our company was born at the wrong time and did not manage to catch it. Our 'Mission and Choice' happens to be an RTS game since we're going to release a remake now. Of course, we have to face it head-on! "
"Are you afraid that the sales will be affected and you'll skip the tickets and change the release date? That's what a coward would do! "
"What's more, how is' Mission and Choice 'inferior to other games? We should be full of confidence! "
"Since what we want to do is to 'wash away the shame of the domestic games industry' and show the glory of domestically-produced games to all domestic gamers and even the entire gaming world, we must not be afraid!"
"A few days earlier or a few days later, if the quality is really not good, we will still be scolded and scolded. It will not change anything in essence."
"On the other hand, we can deliberately set the release date on the same day. We can show a kind of unsheathed spirit. Even if we lose, our courage is commendable and not embarrassing!"
Hu Xianbin: "…"
Pei Qian's confident and impassioned speech made Hu Xianbin dizzy.
For some reason, his originally timid mentality had completely disappeared. Replacing it was an indescribable calmness.
What Boss Pei said made sense!
If the goal of this game was only to earn some money, it would not be a problem to avoid Fantasy Battle Remake. It was reasonable.
However, Mission and Choice had invested so much money. It could be said to be cutting off all means of retreat. Its goal was not only to earn some money, but also to wash away the shame of the domestic games industry and show all gamers the new look of domestically-produced games.
If he admitted defeat, wouldn't he have already lost in terms of momentum?
However, on further thought, Hu Xianbin said, "Boss Pei, I understand the release date of the game, but the movie schedule …"
