Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Games, like movies, have been gradually recognized by the literary and art circles in this era. In recent years, there have even been voices saying that they should be classified as the ninth art form in addition to the existing eight art forms.

However, this kind of entertainment work is very different from the other eight arts in terms of production cycle and cost.

When it comes to games, the final quality is absolutely linked to the cost, and the difficulty of production and the length of the production cycle are also far ahead.

No matter how surprising a movie is, it only takes a few years to polish it and it will become a perfect masterpiece.

But for a truly large-scale game, from all aspects, a few years is often just enough time to get started.

Even worse, the production cycle can take as long as ten years to polish out a perfect work, and it definitely requires a very large production team, possibly thousands of people working together to develop it.

Are there so many people in Heye Games?
No, Heye Games actually has only a little over 500 employees now. Compared with some independent game development studios, this number is naturally more than enough, and there are even more than enough. However, once placed in some teams developing large-scale top games, the number of people in their team is definitely not enough, and it is simply a pocket-sized group.

To put it in simple terms: Akaashi can't catch up with Rehu.

Of course, what they say to the outside world and to their employees is that they need to strictly screen the capabilities of their employees to ensure the team's high-quality operation and maintenance model. What they need is a small number of elites, not a large number of mediocre people.

But what about in practice?
It's nothing more than the determination to extend the production cycle so as to spend more money in the process.

Think about it, as long as the pharmaceutical project is being carried out, the money will be burned every day, and all aspects of operation and maintenance will require money.

As long as the project is not completed, there will be no income!

Tang Ying naturally had this in mind.

But what they never expected was that they thought it was just an ordinary work inspection, a job to check the progress and then leave.

Now I’m told that the first stage framework has been completed? It can even support a real machine demonstration with a short market and little content? ?
What is this concept? ?

You know, actual machine demonstration is not the same as making CG renderings.

The so-called first press conference of most games is actually just releasing a CG effect demonstration video. Although there may be a lot of content in it and it may look very cool, it can make the operators blow up flowers and make players dazzled and look forward to it.

But in reality?

The cg effect demonstration video is really just a demonstration. What is shown in the video does not mean that you, the player, can really play something like this. There are many points that can be controlled.

But the actual demo is different.

To put it simply, a live demo is equivalent to taking out a piece of content from your game. This piece of content is already a finished game content that players can really experience.

Once players really get started, many things will be completely exposed, and you, the operator, will not have much room to maneuver. After all, the players' own feelings are real and the most practical.

This may bring huge profits to the operators. After all, once the actual machine demonstration is successful, it will definitely bring about a tsunami of word-of-mouth among players.

So Tang Ying, who was listening at the side, actually shuddered at first, and the feeling of having hair standing on end as if there were thorns on her back appeared again. No loss? That's absolutely not possible!

Not long ago, they received 36 billion in rebates, but before they could even enjoy the benefits, they gave all the money away and donated it.

Although Tang Ying did this voluntarily, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to lose out when she gets the chance!

Indeed, she still has her own dream of losing money in her heart!

She wants to be the true master of this family, and this great dream has never changed!

But Xia Yuan then looked at her and nodded secretly to reassure her.

Then Xia Yuan smiled and said to Wang Yuan, "In that case, we can do this. Then, let's give the order as you wish. All departments should prepare. We will officially open the first round of actual machine demonstration conference to the public, and invite players offline. We will randomly select some players to come to the scene through registration and lottery. We will charter a plane and hotel, and all expenses will be covered. We will invite them to offline for actual machine demonstration and try it out."

"Okay!" Wang Yuan was pleasantly surprised: "I knew you would agree, Mr. Xia! After all, you are the one who can write this kind of plot script and direction, which proves that you have strong expectations for this market and love this industry!"

The crowd below was instantly filled with joy and excitement. One could even see many people with fairy-like looks on their faces, with dark circles under their eyes that were almost black to the bones. It was obvious that their expressions were as if they were rewarding the God of War, but their expressions were all excited and happy.

Xia Yuan frowned as he watched this scene: "You worked overtime without the company's consent? Didn't your President Tang and I tell you many times? The company does not encourage overtime. This is not a good behavior. As leaders, we must pay more attention to the health of our employees. Overdrawing our health to complete work is not something worth promoting."

Moreover, this kind of look, which looks like he will die in the next second, is definitely not something that can be caused in a day or two. It must be caused by long-term overtime work.

This is not a good thing for Xia Yuan and Tang Ying.

If the employees below work more overtime, doesn't that mean that the work progress is accelerated?
No wonder so many things were produced so quickly and a real machine demonstration was even made.

However, many people said excitedly: "We didn't, we all worked overtime voluntarily, and we did it at home. We don't need the company to pay us overtime. After all, the company can't control us so much. How can they care about what we do after get off work?"

"That's right. My current salary is much higher than the company I worked for before, and I don't need overtime pay. With such a high salary and benefits, I would feel sorry for the company if I didn't do something for free."

"I didn't, who's working overtime? I'm not here!"

"I don't know. Don't ask me. I leave work on time. If you don't believe me, just watch the surveillance video. I'm just like this because I'm usually good at rewarding myself. Yes, that's it."

Xia Yuan: “.”

Tang Ying: “.”

Seeing them all looking like dead pigs that were not afraid of boiling water, both of them were speechless.

It was not until the meeting was over and everyone had left that Tang Ying could not help but ask Xia Yuan: "That's not right. Why did you agree to their actual machine demonstration? Isn't this obviously not conducive to losing money?" (End of this chapter)
