You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

"Oh my god, congratulations, President Cao."

"Congratulations, Boss Cao, for escaping the sea of suffering, hahaha..."

"Boss Cao can finally sleep soundly."

In reality, a 6 million animated company is just a drop in the bucket for these investment tycoons. Everyone is just joking around for fun.

The main reason is that the dark horse animation company that President Cao acquired is just too good at causing trouble.

Every year, the industry's worst awards are won by this company until they are soft.

Over time, President Cao's dark horse animation, which he couldn't get rid of, has become a meme in the investment group.

Shunwei Investment - President Li:

"Before, when this animation studio was in President Cao's hands, I was embarrassed to say it clearly, but now that President Cao has sold it, I will speak frankly."

"President Cao, you... made a good sale!"

"We also have animation studios under our umbrella. I learned from them that this dark horse animation has long had a bad reputation among Party A. Industry peers also look down on Dark Horse. They have been hailed as industry waste."

"So, I sincerely congratulate President Cao for finally throwing away this hot potato."

Other investors also spoke to congratulate him.

In fact, the animation and game industries, as high value-added tertiary industries, have higher profit margins than traditional industries. Therefore, many investment大佬 in the group also want to enter the game.

However, it is too difficult for these talent scouts to find a real Pegasus.

President Cao sighed:

"When I acquired Dark Horse Animation, I didn't have any other requirements. I just wanted them to make popular and qualified animations to help me open up the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, such as upstream comic and novel websites, as well as downstream film and television companies, toy companies, clothing companies, and so on."

"I didn't expect them to be even more useless than I thought. It's fine if the animations they make flop, but they also have a stubborn energy and insist on engaging in a two-dimensional art style."

"The two-dimensional world is now monopolized by the island country. Isn't it just courting death to launch a project with this style?"

President Cao sighed regretfully.

After that, he had to continue to look at investment animation opportunities. There was no way, he started his career by investing in the cultural and creative industries. As long as he invested in a successful company, the profit margin was really good.

Tianyou Capital - President Zhao: "I don't know which sucker took over Dark Horse Animation. President Cao, did you fool someone?"

President Cao rolled his eyes: "Don't bury me. I have fulfilled my obligation to inform, but President Lu of Peach Blossom Land seems very interested. There is no way, if it falls into his hands, he can't blame me."

Everyone echoed: "That's how nouveau riche who don't invest and don't do profit analysis are. It is estimated that Dark Horse Animation will not last more than a month in President Lu's hands and will be liquidated in bankruptcy."

...

Thursday morning.

Gong Qijun thought about it all night, but he still couldn't figure out what Lu Yu's unusual work arrangement meant.

So he simply threw a stone to ask the way and held a video conference with Liu Mengyuan and other company executives.

"President Liu, regarding the development of animation, President Lu has not given any specific instructions, no indicators, no deadlines, just let us do whatever we feel comfortable with. We really dare not start work easily. Please give us clear instructions, President Liu."

Listening to Gong Qijun's question, Liu Mengyuan smiled slightly.

"You are new here and don't know President Lu's style yet, which is understandable. You will understand after I tell you."

Immediately afterwards, she recounted her process of developing Catgirl Paradise and the process of developing Island Owner Life with the other two executives.

Afterwards, Gong Qijun heard some things about Lu Yu's love of using life jokes to imply things from Chu Xiong and Zhang Qiqi.

Chu Xiong summarized with a smile: "Although I have told you so much, no matter how we try to figure it out, we always feel that President Lu is still full of mystery and difficult to understand!"

Gong Qijun marveled as he listened.

After the video conference, he pondered for another hour, suddenly slapped his head, and suddenly realized.

Sure enough!

I understand, I understand everything!

Our President Lu likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like to talk.

But if you treat him as a big sucker who only knows how to spend money, then you are very wrong.

After all, in the last round of competition, being able to take down Tenghui's masterpiece, can he be an ordinary person?

So, every word of President Lu is not said casually, and there are hidden meanings and hints behind it.

He did not dare to neglect and quickly called his subordinate, animation director Xin Haicheng, to him and began to explain in detail.

"President Lu has allocated us a budget of 1 million yuan, we must carefully study how to spend it wisely and prevent anyone from engaging in extravagance and waste!"

Xin Haicheng said in a daze: "But, before, didn't President Lu say that we can spend the money as we please?"

"Hehe..." Gong Qijun smiled and shook his head,

"Lao Xin, I thought you could see through some human relationships after being by my side for so many years.

Do you really think that President Lu can make such a successful game by lying flat and letting it rot?

His laziness and carelessness are just appearances. If we really believe it, then we will be completely fooled. I am afraid we will not be able to pass President Lu's test for us!"

Xin Haicheng suddenly realized.

Gong Qijun continued:

"Therefore, we must compile a detailed animation production cycle table. The more President Lu says that there is no deadline, the more we must pay attention to efficiency. Ensure that the animation is delivered in a timely manner.

Moreover, in order to help the EASTJOY exhibition, we need to produce a 5-minute preview PV."

...

Afterwards, Gong Qijun gathered everyone in the conference room and began to discuss the production method of this preview PV.

Xin Haicheng analyzed:

"President Lu told us before not to consider the tastes of the audience, and even said that he doesn't care if it is made into a stick figure. Now after listening to Lao Gong's words, I think President Lu's words are not simple."

You Keyang sighed:

"Could it be that President Lu is asking us to regain our initial desires? Think about it, what our team did at the beginning was a two-dimensional cartoon rendering of a lewd style to satisfy our XP.

Later, because we compromised with the market, we made fantasy martial arts and greasy senior sister styles, but we were unwilling to follow the crowd in our hearts, so we drew white silk stockings on various outsourcing requirements.

President Lu must want us to return to our original intentions and follow the desires deep in our hearts!"

Gong Qijun deeply agreed:

"Therefore, we must not only make the two-dimensional art style that we are best at, but also further subvert tradition and combine hand-painted and three-rendered two to maximize the lewdness of silk stockings!

Maybe our comprehensive strength is not ranked internationally, but we must let the world see our dedication to silk stockings!"

These words made everyone's blood boil, and everyone raised their arms and shouted:

"Long live silk stockings!"

Gong Qijun smiled and nodded: "Then, let's start our ambition with this 5-minute trailer."

An Xiuming opened his mouth: "But, we must be clear, since our animation is called 'Catgirl Paradise Adventure',

Then the focus is on catgirl? Paradise? Or adventure?"

Ya Jing Shou suggested: "According to the old rules of the project, let's vote."

After the voting, 20 votes unanimously agreed that the focus is on catgirl!

Gong Qijun summarized:

"Therefore, our animation is a bright, pleasing, and healing two-dimensional art style, and the core selling point is various catgirls with distinctive characteristics.

We will use professional rendering technology to polish the catgirls' silk stockings and add the technology newly researched by Xiong Ge.

We must not only make the catgirls' boobs shake more naturally, but also make their thighs and butts elastic!"

"We agree!" The eyes of the LSP became more and more fanatical.

At this time, Gong Qijun recalled what Liu Mengyuan said during the video conference:

"I have carefully studied your previous projects. The reason why you have failed is because you are too casual. This time, you must have a standardized process."

Think carefully, indeed!

After all, their previous projects were all about holding a meeting to vote, picking out their favorite XP elements and sewing them together, and then starting to work.

Therefore, for this PV, they must strictly follow the game workflow experience provided by Liu Mengyuan and Chu Xiong to produce it.

"Everyone, work hard!"

When Taoyuan Huimeng started production with chicken blood, system light curtains kept popping up in front of Liu Mengyuan:

[Employee Gong Qijun's repeated practice triggered a guaranteed minimum, and 'Production Progress' has been upgraded to Lv3]

[Employee Xin Haicheng's repeated practice triggered a guaranteed minimum, and 'Character Original Painting' has been upgraded to Lv3]

[Employee An Xiuming's repeated practice triggered a guaranteed minimum, and 'Scene Original Painting' has been upgraded to Lv2]

[Employee You Keyang's repeated practice triggered a guaranteed minimum, and 'Production Progress' has been upgraded to Lv2]

[Employee Ya Jing Shou's repeated practice triggered a guaranteed minimum, and 'Storyboard Design' has been upgraded to Lv2]

Very good, give me a hard progress and earn some points.

Finally, Taoyuan Huimeng completed the production of the preview PV one day before the CJ exhibition.

...

August 24, Wednesday, EASTJOY officially opened.

The exhibition hall is located in the New International Expo Center in Jianghai City.

The outer wall of the exhibition center is composed of towering glass curtain walls, and the shape is like a spaceship. Inside the spacious and bright exhibition hall, huge banners and advertisements are hung, promoting various new games from sponsoring manufacturers.

The square outside the exhibition center is now crowded with people.
