This is the ninth art

Chapter 77 Let the bullets fly for a while!
"That's great! President Chu, you're really great!!!" Xu Nianqing couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly on the way to follow Chu Jun to the general manager's office.

Her eyes were sparkling, and there was an unconcealable reverence in her eyes.

It felt like I was watching my idol.

He is handsome and handsome, and the game is so good.

That's all.

Who knew his dubbing was so strong!

That line in the recording room just now shocked the audience!

Xu Nianqing still hasn't forgotten the dull little eyes of everyone at that time.

Of course, including herself.

Especially when he saw Feng Gujiang slumped down and sat down, Xu Nianqing only had one word in his mind.

Cool!
"For compliments, let's wait for the game to sell well after it's released." Chu Jun faced the compliment with a calm expression.

"Oh, by the way, President Chu, the overall progress of Hearthstone's development has reached about 30%, and it's almost ready for preheating and announcement." When it came to the game's release, Xu Nianqing put away his reverent eyes and said seriously.

Game companies usually conduct the first round of warm-up announcements when the R&D progress is around 30%-50%.

The second announcement will be made when it is on the shelves.

Then there is the announcement during the internal test.

Finally, the official public beta came with the most violent announcement.

The higher the company's expectations for the game, the greater the intensity of the announcement.

According to the current quality of "Hearthstone", Xu Nianqing has no doubts about the influence it will bring after its release.

30% of the progress, it's time for the first round of announcements.

"However, the strength of several rounds of announcements needs to be decided by you, Mr. Chu."

When Chu Jun heard this, he stopped abruptly and turned to the financial room: "Let's go and have a look."

"Yeah." Xu Nianqing followed Chu Jun's buttocks with his folder in his arms.

Soon, the two came to the financial room.

Just opened the door.

"Hello, Mr. Chu!" After seeing Mr. Chu, several young accountants greeted him respectfully.

"How much idle funds can the company spend?" Chu Jun casually picked up a bill and flipped through it.

"Back to Mr. Chu, there are about 500 million left..." the accountant sister replied in a low voice.

"So few?" Xu Nianqing couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Since the establishment of the financial department of the company, the financial books that Xu Nianqing was originally in charge of have been handed over to the past.

Now she is only responsible for reporting the company's daily revenue increase every day, and dealing with the big and small matters reported by the employees, which relieves a lot of pressure.

Regarding the company's general ledger, Xu Nianqing had an idea in mind.

But I didn't expect that there were only so many idle funds left.

A company's total capital, usually divided into three parts.

Junyue Company is no exception.

Part of it is special funds, which are used exclusively for investment or game development.

Part of it is operating funds, including but not limited to a series of expenses such as game operating costs, employee wages and benefits, and public relations management.

The last part is idle funds.

Such funds are usually used to subsidize the gap between the first two capital chains.

For example, the cost of developing a game is somewhat different from the budget, and there is still a part of the difference.

At this time, it is necessary to mobilize idle funds to fill the gap.

The increase in operating costs also needs to be mobilized from it.

It can be said that idle funds are the last pants of a company.

It's the same as deposits in personal hands.

"The R&D cost of Hearthstone burns up too quickly..." the accountant sister said softly.

Before the development of Hearthstone, the company still had more than 4000 million idle funds.

As a result, only 30% of the progress has been developed, and only 500 million idle funds have been burned.

A lot of notches need to be taken from the inside.

Although game development has stabilized, the bills for this expenditure have been allocated in advance.

But just in case.

"Half a billion to make a hearthstone..." Chu Jun sighed helplessly in his heart.

Compared with the previous life, half a billion can almost lay down the basic framework of a 3A masterpiece.

In this life, I can only be a Hearthstone.

What is the reason?

For example, in a very remote mountain village, the transportation of materials is particularly difficult.

Even in rainy days, you have to risk your life to climb the mountain road.

The price of such materials will be much more expensive than in big cities with well-developed logistics.

The same is true for games.

If niche industries want to gain momentum, many equipment hardware and software do not support it.

Even the R&D engine used by the current employees is not professionally used for making games, but a motion simulation software.

In addition, there are many links that should have been completed by the game company in the previous life.

Now it has to be outsourced.

For example, dubbing, art, special effects and a series of links.

In the previous life, there were corresponding technical talents.

But now we can only throw a part of it out for outsourcing.

The cost of many details has increased, and together they have created the current crazy money-burning situation.

And burning money, the number of players is too small is another problem, and in the end even the capital may not be able to earn back.

With such a vicious circle, the game industry will get worse and worse.

"In this case, the publicity can only be saved. The first round of warm-up publicity should not be too large-scale." Xu Nianqing said.

Chu Jun pondered in his heart for a moment, shook his head again, and said firmly: "Xuanfa cannot be spared."

"For the Hearthstone game, every stage of the announcement is full."

Chu Jun is well aware of the explosive power of the Hearthstone game.

It is definitely a masterpiece that can raise the upper limit of the entire game industry and expand the player base!
If we say that the current game industry belongs to the bottom category in the entire industry.

So, the release of Hearthstone.

It can directly pull the entire game industry from the bottom to the middle and lower reaches!
With a larger player base, the benefits to Junyue are quite obvious.

"But in this case, I feel that we can only pick from the development cost..." Xu Nianqing said worriedly: "This will affect the quality of the game."

"There is no development cost." Chu Jun smiled: "We only need to complete the first round of publicity, and someone will help our company to do publicity for free."

"Ah?" Xu Nianqing was stunned, and the accounting sisters were also stunned.

Hearthstone's investment in the promotion of the game is at least tens of millions.

Who would be so kind to give tens of millions of publicity resources for nothing?

At this time, the door of the finance department was pushed open again.

Chu Jun turned his head and looked, only to find that it was Yang Mai who brought the voice actors over to collect the daily salary.

Feng Gujiang also saw Chu Jun, his face was a little embarrassed, and his eyes turned away unnaturally.

"Ms. Feng, here is your salary slip for today. May I ask whether it is a transfer or cash settlement?" The accountant girl raised her smile.

Hearing this, Feng Gujiang was taken aback.

He waved his hand again: "Forget it, forget it. I don't want today's reward."

After that, he glanced at Chu Jun again, and smiled wryly: "I'm not here to help today, at most I'm here to study."

"Small... No, I benefited a lot from Mr. Chu's dubbing. It made me realize that the game dubbing industry has a lot to do."

"Well, at my age, when I'm old, I always like to make a name for myself. Everywhere I go, I want to hold on to the shelf, but in the end the shelf falls and hits my own foot."

After the words were finished, the young accountants in the finance department were dumbfounded.

Look at Feng Gujiang for a while, and look at Jun Chu for a while.

Mr. Chu is still dubbing?

They didn't know what happened in the recording room, but Mr. Feng Gujiang was well-known in the dubbing circle.

To make Feng Gujiang say "I have learned" over and over again, the live effect must be very explosive.

Immediately, both of them felt a little itchy, wondering if they could ask the brothers in the sound effects department for a copy of Mr. Chu's dubbing after work, and go back and listen to it secretly.

At this time, Chu Jun looked at Feng Gujiang's back, and said.

"Teacher Feng, let's get the salary. I'm just in good condition for dubbing, but for the next dubbing, I still need to trouble Teacher Feng and all the teachers."

Chu Jun was not aggressive because of the explosive dubbing just now.

He wasn't targeting Feng Gujiang either.

But this time the dubbing effect of the card lines is not ideal.

For Feng Gujiang and so many professional voice actors to be recognized in the dubbing industry, they must have their special skills.

His excellent performance is only with the help of system props and the experience of those outstanding seniors in his previous life.

To be honest, that is standing on the shoulders of giants.

Nothing to brag about.

More importantly, dubbing is really hard to find.

The voice actors who are willing to dub the game are almost gathered here.

The others are either not professional enough, or they don't like the game industry.

You can't slow down the progress of the game indefinitely for dubbing.

If they can win people's hearts, they can bring these voice actors back into the company and set up a dubbing department, which seems to save a lot of expenses.

Hearing what Chu Jun said, Feng Gujiang paused.

There was a bit of emotion on the old face, and the eyes were extremely complicated.

He thought Mr. Chu would say a few more words of ridicule.

Unexpectedly, not only did Chu Jun not make trouble, but he even invited him and a group of voice actors to stay and continue dubbing.

Recalling the arrogance I had never restrained since I stepped into Junyue Company just now, I compared it with Chu Jun's situation.

Feng Gujiang suddenly felt ashamed, and a group of voice actors behind him also lowered their heads a little embarrassedly, and spoke one after another.

"Mr. Chu's words are too modest. Your dubbing has surpassed our group of professional voice actors. This time the dubbing is because we are not good enough, not because you are too harsh."

"Because I couldn't do it myself, I questioned that no one else could do it. I apologize to Mr. Chu for my arrogance, and I also apologize to the employees in the sound effects department who have been busy for us."

"I'm really sorry for delaying your company's game progress."

Feng Gujiang was the last to speak, with a guilty tone.

"Mr. Chu, if your company needs dubbing in the future, if you are still willing to use my old bones, just call me. I promise to rush to the scene as soon as possible!"

Xu Nianqing smiled and watched everything in front of him.

Until watching the voice actors leave.

She sighed in her heart.

Mr. Chu is really perfect!

This is true in every sense, even the character is so good!

I just don't know if he has a girlfriend in private.

If not.

Own……

Forget it yourself.

Definitely not good enough.

But I have a girlfriend who is impeccable in terms of family background, appearance and upbringing. I don't know if he likes it or not.

Another day, when Mr. Chu is in a good mood, talk to him.

……

The sky is getting dark, and the ink stains the clouds.

A certain house in Jianghua City cleans it.

Unknown classical music is playing at the bar, and the decoration of this store is elegant.

Groups of guests held their glasses lightly from time to time, and then whispered something.

The overall environment is relatively quiet.

"Bingbing, have a drink. Game development has been hard these days." Two young girls sat side by side in front of the bar.

The girl with brown curly hair held up the glass.

Zhao Bingbing also raised his glass and touched her lightly.

The fruit wine filled with ice cubes reflected a colorful luster in the transparent glass.

Then Zhao Bingbing swallowed it in one gulp.

"Cool." She sighed softly, "Oh, the work pressure has been too great recently, and it's been spinning around every day. Today is a rare day without overtime."

"We can be regarded as colleagues. You, you have to take good care of yourself. Work is important, but your body is also more important." The girl with brown curly hair cared: "It's not like being at home when you are away from home. If you have a headache, no one will help you." Tube."

"Don't worry, I still have a sense of proportion." After a few glasses of wine, even if it was fruit wine with low alcohol content, Zhao Bingbing's face was still stained with red, and he grinned silly.

His thoughts also became a little dizzy, and he opened his mouth when his head got hot.

"However, the overall progress of the game's development is still quite fast. Just take our art department as an example, 60% of Hearthstone's illustrations have been completed. This is the first time I am responsible for drawing illustrations for cards. Don't you know... "

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The long and narrow eyes of the curly brown-haired girl slightly narrowed, pretending not to care, she raised the wine bottle to pour wine for Zhao Bingbing, and said casually: "Hearthstone? Card illustration?"

"The new game Junyue recently developed is a card game?"

She bit a little harder on the word card game.

The original intention was to get some more private information from Zhao Bingbing's mouth, but unexpectedly the intensity was not controlled well.

Zhao Bingbing immediately became vigilant.

Zhao Bingbing woke up from the wine immediately, and seemed to realize that he had said something wrong.

There is a default rule in the game industry, there is any game-related news in the company, unless the company allows it to be revealed.

Otherwise, no disclosure is allowed.

Previously, there was a case where an employee of a company caused the company to lose millions because of revealing the updated content of the new version in advance, and was subsequently sued by the company and sentenced for several years.

This is true for new versions, let alone a new game?

Once leaked in advance, it is easy to bring losses to the company.

Zhao Bingbing suddenly panicked, her face tensed, and she begged a bit: "Xiaoya, please don't tell anyone about this, you are not allowed to tell anyone..."

"Don't worry, it's not the first day you know me. Can I know how much harm this kind of thing will do to you if you talk about it?" The curly brown-haired girl flipped her hair casually and smiled.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, i knew you were the best to me."

only.

When the two had almost finished drinking, they parted ways at the door of the bar.

The curly brown-haired girl glanced at Zhao Bingbing who was walking further and further away from the street lamp, with an excited smile on the corner of her mouth.

Immediately took out the phone, opened WeChat and found the top WeChat group 'Tianyun Company "Heroes in Troubled Times" game department.

After a long search inside, I found the head portrait of the boss.

"Mr. Chen, I have a piece of news about Junyue's new game."

She is the lowest batch of artists in Tianyun Company.

But after this time, she believes that her future will be much brighter.

……

at the same time.

Another street crossing in the opposite direction.

Zhao Bingbing also took out his phone, clicked on a dialog box, and typed quickly.

"Mr. Chu, I have disclosed some relevant details of the game according to your request."

"But I'm still curious... just like this, can Tianyun Company give us free publicity?"

Not long after, a reply came from the phone.

Zhao Bingbing took a closer look.

"Don't worry, let the bullet fly for a while."

　The building in front of the house is closed and has been sealed off.

　　The community is on level one security, with only one entrance and exit left, and it is not known when it will be closed.

　　So I have been shopping outside during the day, and I don’t start coding until I come back in the afternoon.

　　I can only update today...

　　I'll try to make up for it tomorrow, sorry.
