24th, Wednesday …
The design team had a meeting.
Pei Qian did not attend because the design draft had already been decided and production had already started. As the boss, Pei Qian could not and did not need to pay attention to these minor details.
During this period, Lu Mingliang had taken over almost all the work.
Even though Huang Sibo's sudden death — no, his death had thrown everyone into a bit of chaos, it was fortunate that everyone had their own roles to begin with, and there were no major changes to the structure of the design team. Hence, they quickly got back on track.
Lu Mingliang had been busy and had finally gotten used to being the chief planner. Apart from being used to doing everything himself and being a little hesitant, there were no other problems.
After becoming the chief planner, Lu Mingliang realized that this job was not as difficult as he had imagined.
After the training of Ocean Stronghold, this was a very mature team. Lu Mingliang just had to do his job well, and the others were very self-aware.
Lu Mingliang suddenly felt a little emotional.
Didn't this mean that many people had the ability, but they did not sit in that position?
In the past, he had been doing odd jobs in his original company. He had worked himself to death every day and worked overtime like a dog. However, his abilities had not improved at all because he had been doing repetitive labor.
When he had first taken over as the chief planner, he had been very worried about whether he could do well.
However, after working for a period of time, he realized that it was not as difficult as he had imagined!
Now that he thought about it, being the chief planner in his previous company required years of experience. It might not have been necessary; it might have just been a screening method.
Perhaps, this was Boss Pei's way of using people?
Lu Mingliang could not help but feel emotional. Indeed, there were many good horses, but there were few Talent Scouts!
A good leader would be able to bring out the potential and creativity of his employees to the greatest extent. Those who only knew how to exploit their employees would only turn their employees into mindless machines; and their efficiency would only get lower and lower!
Thinking about this, Lu Mingliang's respect for Boss Pei increased.
Lu Mingliang cleared his throat and said, "There are two main matters in today's meeting.
"The first is that I have to leave for two or three days to do the voice-overs for Game Designer. Don't ask me why; I want to know as well … "
Until now, Lu Mingliang still did not understand why Pei Qian wanted him to do the voice-overs.
From all aspects, this was a decision that could be awarded with a huge reward for bewitching behavior.
However, since this decision was made by Boss Pei, it was unquestionable!
The others were also dumbfounded.
What the hell?
During the development of the game, the chief planner went to do voice acting for the game?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Lu Mingliang continued, "The second thing is that I hope that everyone can read more of the lines in the game and perform the functions that you are responsible for well. You have to communicate with Boss Ruan Guangjian in a timely manner. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can call me. "
Lu Mingliang had to brief him on his work.
There weren't many voice-overs in the game. If everything went well, three days should be enough.
Although these three days were short, time was precious. Lu Mingliang was afraid that everyone would slack off or that they would not know how to solve any problems. Hence, he reminded them repeatedly.
After Lu Mingliang gave his instructions, everyone started to speak freely and discuss the details.
Because the design draft was already very complete, the few outstanding problems were quickly resolved.
Lu Mingliang noticed that Lin Wan had been holding onto the manuscript and reading the voice-overs of Game Designer.
He was a little curious.
Shouldn't I, the voice actor, be the one reading the lines?
Lin Wan had been at Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. for more than a month.
During this period, she had been responsible for some small functions like the others. She was serious and responsible. However, because the work she was responsible for was not particularly challenging, she did not have much of a presence.
At this moment, Lin Wan was reading the voice-overs of Game Designer over and over again. Even the pages were a little wrinkled.
"I think … I can understand a little of Boss Pei's intentions." Lin Wan looked at Lu Mingliang.
"En?" Lu Mingliang was stunned. "Are you talking about me doing voice acting?"
Lin Wan nodded and said with certainty, "That's right."
"Quick, tell me." Lu Mingliang was very interested.
He did not understand why Boss Pei wanted him to do voice acting. He was worried that he would not be able to complete the task and drag the game down.
Hence, he was still a little apprehensive.
However, from what Lin Wan said, could Boss Pei have other intentions?
Lin Wan flipped through the script and entered analysis mode.
"I have to say that Boss Pei's true intentions are very deep. That's why we did not see it at first.
"I also read the voice-overs that Boss Pei personally edited and combined it with the short videos of Boss Pei's Daily Life that I vaguely guessed it.
"I think that, just like Boss Pei's Daily Life, Game Designer is also a form of expression with dark humor. It has a strong sense of irony!
"Everyone, look at the voice-overs.
"The voice-overs will always lead players to make some choices during the game's production process. Every choice seems to be the best one at the moment, the one that can most easily realize the benefits. "
"For example, when choosing between buyout fees and value-added service fees, the voice-overs will lead players to choose value-added service fees.
"When choosing between light paywalls and heavy paywalls, the voice-overs will lead players to choose heavy paywalls.
"Among the many styles, the voice-overs will lead players to choose the most popular cartoonish style …
"Every choice will seem very reasonable. After all, the game company has to ensure profits, and these choices will be beneficial to profits.
"However, what will happen in the end?
"If we follow the voice-overs completely, our reputation will collapse, and we will be scolded by players. In the end, we will end up with nothing!
"Furthermore, the voice-overs will mock you. As a boss, you do not know how to make decisions. You are soft-hearted and will do whatever the voice-overs tell you to do.
"Do you think that failure is caused by the voice-overs? No, the voice-overs only made a wrong suggestion. You, who are unable to distinguish between the two, are the ones responsible for the failure!
"The addition of the voice-overs will infinitely magnify this feeling of failure! This will make players feel uncomfortable, indeed.
"Because this is the naked reality, and also a kind of irony!"
"Why are there so many confusing and despised trashy games in the world? It's very simple. It's because those bosses are walking the same path!
"The voice-overs are like the devil named 'greed' in their hearts, leading them step by step in the wrong direction until they finally fall into the abyss!"
Lu Mingliang nodded as he listened.
It made sense!
