Wealthy after rebirth

Chapter 173 Ouch Brother
call.

The door of the safe passage was pushed open, and Shi Yining and Huang Jiayan came to the top floor. He saw that there were already security personnel standing in the corridor. It seemed that there was indeed nothing wrong here.

The security personnel were very surprised to see two figures appearing from the safe passage. They did not expect someone to come up from the stairwell...

The top floor is the presidential suite, which is directly accessible by a special elevator. For the safety of Jay Chou, the hotel has specially arranged staff to guard the safe passage, preventing casual people from going up to the top floor through the stairs.

Who would have thought that there would be residents on the second top floor from the safe passage to the top floor.

"Don't be nervous, we have made an appointment with Jewel Company, the game manufacturer who came to discuss the endorsement with Jay Chou, and we will live downstairs."

Shi Yining immediately identified himself and took out the room card to avoid any unpleasantness.

The security staff's doubts were not completely dispelled, so they took out the walkie-talkie to talk to the senior management, and the senior management got in touch with Jewel Music Company. After finally verifying Shi Yining's identity information, the security guard breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Shi, I'm sorry... You don't know that we are really afraid of accidents when we receive a star like Jay Chou!"

After the security personnel knew that Shi Yining was the boss who came to talk to Zhou Dong about the endorsement, they put down their guard and chatted casually.

"Usually some small celebrities come to the hotel, the so-called traffic stars now, they all pay us to provide security services, and they hire more than ten or twenty people in a dense crowd, in fact..."

"The fans don't even have as many security guards as ours, so don't mention how embarrassing it is, it's over after a cutscene!"

"But a star like Jay Chou is different. I came here a few years ago. I was a good boy. I heard from my seniors that the crowd of 20 people couldn't stop the fans. They rushed in madly. It was really scary! "

Shi Yining listened with a smile. Of course he knew the gap between the top and the traffic. On the one hand, he was really capable and relied on his own hard power to reach the top step by step. On the other hand, he was a tool for making money supported by capital. They were completely different.

While talking, the elevator dedicated to the presidential suite began to operate.

The security guard stopped chatting and stood up straight. An important guest was coming. If the leader saw him chatting with others, his salary would be deducted.

Ding.

After a while, the elevator rang, and the elevator door opened. There were no security personnel, and a young man wearing glasses came out, who seemed to be from Taiwan.

Jay Chou walked out of the elevator right after him, and was talking about the concert with the people around him, with a serious expression on his face.

Shi Yining was standing by the corridor about ten meters away from the elevator. It was the first time he saw Jay Chou in real life. He was wearing a T-shirt of his own brand on his upper body and a pair of black harem pants on his lower body. He was very classic out on the street.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm Shi Yining, a sea monster game development company."

Shi Yining went up to meet him and stretched out his hand to introduce himself.

Jay Chou stretched out his hand to shake Shi Yining's, and nodded at the same time, but he was still discussing the details of the concert with his subordinates, and he was very serious.

"Okay, that's all, you go first..." Jay Chou patted his shoulders, and only then did he have time to talk to Shi Yining.

"Mr. Shi, the sea monster game? The sea monster roars, it's amazing, let's go, let's talk in the room."

After saying that, Jay Chou took the lead and walked towards the suite.

Entering the house together, Shi Yining looked at the accompanying people and found that they didn't recognize them, but when he saw Huang Jiayan's face always filled with that "wow, it's him" expression, he knew that she must know these people...

Jay Chou's schedule is very tight, and the time available is very short. Only the time between arriving at the hotel and lunch can be used to talk about endorsement matters. After lunch, he will go to the Olympic Sports Center to rehearse the evening concert.

Usually, endorsement and copyright agreements are handled by the brokerage company, but this time the situation is a little different. He is a little interested in the anti-war game proposed by the sea monster game development company.

A group of people entered the suite. Jay Chou was very polite and without any pretense, and invited Shi Yining and Huang Jiayan to sit down.

Accompanying Jay Chou was a middle-aged man who introduced each other, he was a high-level executive of Jewel Company, and was mainly in charge of contract matters.

"Dr. Jay, this Miss Huang Jiayan Huang, my assistant, driver and game tester, has been your old fan for more than ten years. Yes, including me, I am also a fan of yours. The album I listened to for the first time was very fateful. It happened to be "Qilixiang"!"

Shi Yining gave a brief introduction. The "Stop War" he bought was from the album "Qilixiang".

"Assistant, driver and game tester, Ms. Huang is a bit amazing..."

Director Jay Chou sighed slightly when he heard Shi Yining's interesting introduction. This person is even more ruthless than he used to be in the early days...

With a very decent smile on her face, Huang Jiayan bowed slightly and said, "Jay Chou, except for the one in 03, I have been to all your concerts in Beijing."

"Wow, only one of the six concerts was absent. It seems that I have been a fan for a long time. I think Ms. Huang's age, she didn't go in 03, maybe it was because she was too young at that time?"

Jay Chou said with a smile.

Huang Jiayan nodded embarrassingly. It was true. She was just 12 years old at the time and wanted to go but her parents didn't let her.

After a few simple greetings, Huang Jiayan seized the time to get down to business: "Dr. Zhou, our company and your company have communicated about the game in advance. Regarding the spokesperson of the game, what do you think?"

Jay Chou pondered for a while, then changed his legs and crossed his legs, suppressed his smile, and asked: "I have a question that is quite puzzling to me. That is, in China, whether it is music, games or literary works, there are actually very few anti-war themes. of."

"How could the sea monster game development company think that if anti-war is such an unpopular theme in the game, wouldn't they be worried about the future market response and audience of the game?"

Shi Yining and Huang Jiayan thought that Director Chou would ask about the game's gameplay, market expectations, development funds, etc., because after all, as spokespersons, it is natural to consider future commercial returns.

But I didn't expect to ask about the anti-war theme.

Naturally, Huang Jiayan couldn't answer this question, but Shi Yining didn't feel embarrassed. After setting up this subject, he had considered a lot of issues about anti-war.

"To be honest, when I first decided to develop this game, I didn't consider such profound things as the subject matter and conveying the spirit. At that time, the idea was very simple. I made the idea in my head into a game, let everyone play it, and then make money..."

When it comes to making money, Shi Yining is not shy. There is no need to talk about benevolence, justice and morality, as that will only make people disgusted.

He continued: "After Assistant Huang asked about the core spirit of the game, I started to think about it."

"Since the elements involved are all related to war, I naturally thought of the theme of anti-war! Today is a peaceful age, but it does not mean that there is no war!"

"This game faces the global market, and war is the public enemy of mankind! Anti-war is not the cultural demand of a certain country, and it deserves to be promoted on a global scale!"

Shi Yining's voice fell, and the room fell into silence, only the sound of the band next door adjusting their instruments.

Jay Chou has been listening carefully to Shi Yining's speech, he has tried to use music to convey thoughts and emotions, the songs involve various themes.

There is a theme of youthful campus love, which describes the youthful, beautiful and simple love past of the campus era. Every time I hear it, it will bring people back to that youthful age.

There are social themes such as family affection, opposition to domestic violence, and caring for the elderly, which are of great social significance.

There are also kung fu and martial arts themes that promote culture, environmental protection themes, inspirational, games, heavenly styles, etc., and of course the anti-war "Sorrow of the End of War".

Jay Chou knows very well that the lecturer babbled on stage for hours to convey ideas, and the people in the audience might not be able to hear much of them, but another way, such as music or film and television, would often have a good effect.

So he is very interested in the anti-war shooting games developed by sea monsters.

Afterwards, Huang Jiayan took out her computer and played a sample of the promotional video that had already been produced. The gameplay of the game could not be fully reflected, but the fighting style, painting style and landform were all vividly displayed.

There were three short videos in total that only lasted about 2 minutes. Among them, the one dedicated to promoting anti-war themes was watched twice by Jay Chou.

"The appearance of these buildings is very similar to what I saw when I was filming the MV of "The End of War". Will these original paintings be used in the game, or is it just like in the CG animation?"

Jay Chou asked while holding the notebook.

"Animation is the framing of the game screen. The game of Survival Wasteland itself is a realistic style, and the promotional aspect pursues real effects."

Shi Yining explained.

"I myself quite like playing video games. Yes, Mr. Shi probably knows something about it. I like playing DOTA-like games very much. I have less exposure to shooting games. I wonder how far this game has been developed?"

Through the chat, Jay Chou became interested in the game itself.

Shi Yining and Huang Jiayan looked at each other, and then said: "The technicians in the company are tying up the image model, the core program of the game can run, but it's all pixels, no skin..."

"Oh, that's right. If there is no image model...can I try it out? Will it involve revealing trade secrets?"

With a curious look on his face, Jay Chou wanted to explore the game developed by Shi Yining.

"No, haha."

Shi Yining asked Huang Jiayan to operate the computer to enter the game.

Jay Chou put the computer on the coffee table and started playing with Shi Yining's explanation.

"Hey, this parachute entrance setting is quite innovative. Such a start is full of uncertainties. Oh, and you only have a pair of fists when you land? Try adding a few humans and machines..."

"Hey, something flew over from the sky and dropped something? The equipment here... ouch, not bad!"

While Jay Chou was playing the game, Shi Yining explained the core gameplay of the game, including skydiving, collecting resources, going to the safe zone, and so on.

After trying it out for more than ten minutes, Jay Chou returned the computer to Huang Jiayan. Judging from the expression on his face, the game was quite attractive to him.

[Skills: ...Computer language proficiency (14/1000000)]

Just after Jay Chou's trial was over, Shi Yining was surprised to find that the reputation of the computer language had increased to fourteen!
"Damn it, when did it increase..."

Shi Yining felt a little puzzled, but then he thought that a comprehensive test had begun in the company. He had not paid attention to his reputation for more than a day. It seemed that he had been recognized by many testers in the company.

As for Jay Chou, there is no record of the prestige gained, and he doesn't know whether Jay Chou and the manager at the side think the game he developed is fun.

"In fact, over the years, I have endorsed quite a few games. The game developed by Sea Monster is very good in terms of gameplay and theme. I am interested in cooperating with Sea Monster."

After the trial, Jay Chou basically understood the situation of the game and expressed his intentions.

"Both of you, talk to my manager about the next thing. There are still many things to be resolved at the concert. If you two have time, welcome to my concert tonight, just..."

While talking, Jay Chou was about to get up and go to the inner room.

Shi Yining quickly stood up and said: "Dr. Zhou, wait a moment, I have two unkind invitations."

Ordinary people have an unfeeling request, and he directly comes to two...

Jay Chou smiled and said, "Mr. Shi, tell me."

"I want to ask for some autographs for my friends. Besides... I haven't bought a ticket for the concert. I really can't get it. I almost went to the scalper."

"Is that so..."

While talking, Jay Chou took out two albums of "Qilixiang" from the suitcase beside him, signed them, and handed them to Shi Yining.

Jay Chou's meaning is obvious, Shi Yining has one and Huang Jiayan has one.

Shi Yining took the album, made a yes gesture, and said cheekily: "Can I have two more..."

"It seems that Mr. Shi has quite a lot of my fans around, which is very good."

Jay Chou made a strange expression. Due to the cooperation relationship, he did not refuse this small request, and signed two more CDs of "Oh, not bad" to Shi Yining.

"Talk to him about the tickets, and he will definitely arrange a great seat for the two of you!"

Jay Chou covered the pen, made a gesture to hide his voice, and pointed at the manager beside him.

Shi Yining happily thanked Jay Chou, watched him enter the back room, and then began to discuss the details of the endorsement with his manager.

Endorsement is not a simple sentence, it involves many details.

For example, the number of years of endorsement, whether it is used for print advertisements or TV commercials, whether commercials need to be shot, the number of shootings within the endorsement years, whether to participate in commercial activities, times, scale, location, etc.

Huang Jiayan had already done relevant homework in these aspects before coming here, and she was comfortable talking with the other party, and finally decided on the cooperation plan.

"Mr. Shi, according to your request, the price we offer here is a total of 1000 million for two years of endorsement fees. If there is no problem, we can sign the contract."

The brokerage company has a complete set of formulas, which can easily calculate the endorsement fee by combining various requirements, and negotiate separately if there are special requirements.

This price was within Shi Yining's budget, and he guessed it was between 800 million and 200 million, which was reasonable.

There was no haggling, and the contract was signed directly.
