You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 107 The Skill Tree is Broken (Please Order)
After the tour, Lu Yu took the animation team members to the top-floor conference room for a meeting.

"Mr. Lu, please tell us directly about the next work arrangements."

After joining such a like-minded team, Gong Qijun and others felt like they were injected with chicken blood, and they were eager to try and were full of enthusiasm.

Lu Yu did not answer directly, but asked first:

"What do you think of the current domestic animation industry?"

"The industry is doomed." Gong Qijun said firmly.

"Indeed, the domestic industry is in a real state of crisis." The employees next to him echoed this.

Gong Qijun began to tell me the story:

“To put it bluntly, the current industry is not enterprising and has high expectations but low skills.

What's the current state of domestic animation? There are only a few companies like Caiyun Studio, and they're all taking on big IPs. Can they handle that? No. They don't have the ability, you know?

If this continues, there will be no loss. Not to mention the animation from the Japanese countries, even the animation from the Korean countries will not be able to beat them.

In fact, if we continue like this, we will lose to Vietnam.

I even heard a client argue with me last time, saying, "On the other hand, China is the first region to turn to 3D film and television production."

I confronted him directly:
"Oh my, thank goodness! I've already said that your 2D hand-drawing, character design, and scene aesthetics don't have a solid foundation. Can you guarantee that we can compete with the 3D works of Disney and DreamWorks internationally?

Be pragmatic! In our industry, we must first understand our own production methods and the concept of animation! "

Lu Yu nodded slightly.

Gong Qijun is indeed very clear about the current situation of the industry. It should be said that many animation projects currently being launched are fraudulent attempts to obtain subsidies.

"So, it seems you have the ambition to change the stereotype of domestic animation?"

"It's our duty." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay then, your first project will be to make a TV animation of "Cat Girl Paradise Adventure".

I only have one request, which is to compete with Tenghui Interactive Entertainment's "Dog Girl Paradise" comics on the same stage. Do you have the confidence?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. They thought that the first target was to bring down a domestic animation colleague.

Who would have thought that it would directly challenge the number one gaming giant in China?
After all, as an investment maniac, Tenghui has recently acquired many animation studios in the industry and even formed an industrial cluster. Its strength should not be underestimated.

Lu Yu smiled and said:

“Don’t be nervous. Although Tenghui is very large, think about it, the carrier we are competing with Tenghui on is different this time.

Animation picking on comics, isn't that a dimensionality reduction attack? "

Gong Qijun and other colleagues looked at each other. It seemed that this made sense.

Lu Yu continued:

"If you need any support during the animation production process, please tell me directly. Also, I don't set profit targets or KPIs.

Because you are a branch company, I can't stay with you every day.

So, how to make this animation depends entirely on your preferences, you can make it whatever you want.

Moreover, I will provide you with an additional 100 million in production funds. To be frank, you can use this money however you like.

Even if you take this money and go out to eat out every day for team building, I won’t care about you, okay?”

Gong Qijun was dumbfounded.

My goodness, he doesn’t set KPI indicators, just gives money and doesn’t ask about anything. What kind of boss is this?

"So, do we have to compete with Tenghui's comics for the release date? Do you have any requirements for the production period?"

Gong Qijun asked nervously.

After all, they are just a small team of 20 people, and Tenghui can completely increase the output of comics by relying on its financial ability.

"I won't set any deadlines. Just let it flow naturally and count when it's finished."

Anyway, the system tasks of this cycle only stipulate that game projects must be released before the end of the cycle, and other projects can be left to their own devices.

Gong Qijun was dumbfounded again.

After working in animation for so many years and dealing with countless clients, this is the first time he has seen a project without a deadline.

He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said half-jokingly:
"I think, Mr. Lu, why don't you set a deadline for us? Otherwise, aren't you afraid that our team members will just slack off?"

Lu Yu was delighted and blurted out subconsciously: "Lie down and be lazy? That's great!"

Everyone was stunned.

A system prompt box popped up in front of Lu Yu: [Warning, the host is encouraging employees to slack off, please correct it in time.]

He calmly changed his tone: "Oh, what I mean is, I believe that you have good self-discipline, so there is no need to set a deadline."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gong Qijun, after all, has worked on many animation projects. He continued to ask:

"Mr. Lu, should we first research the comics team of Dog Paradise to see what their style and tone are? I think the audience tastes of these two IPs are pretty similar.
After conducting thorough research, we made adjustments during production to suit the audience’s tastes.”

Lu Yu shook his head: "Now that you have no worries about your livelihood, you don't need to worry about these things at all. Just do what you want to do. To put it bluntly, I don't care if you want to make stick figures."

The core goal of Lu Yu in setting up the animation project is to meet the expectations of Taoyuan Township users and let them know that there is animation in Cat Girl Paradise. As for how the animation is made, Lu Yu does not care.

Anyway, the animation team has some production experience, so as long as the final effect is acceptable, he can successfully reap the users' points.

After all, it was an animation team that had been failing for many years. He didn't think that Taoyuan Huimeng could suddenly create a blockbuster and plunge the team into expansion and involution.

When it comes to dreaming, we also have to pay attention to basic principles.

Therefore, he was more concerned about how many points the Taoyuan Huimeng production team could provide him.

He had a hunch that the production potential of these LSPs was definitely not that simple.

……

After Lu Yu left the meeting room, Liu Mengyuan, the art director, also briefly exchanged some painting experiences with the animation team.

At this time, Liu Mengyuan looked at these new employees as if they were lambs to be slaughtered.

The reason why Liu Mengyuan actively followed up on the animation project was because she found that the source of her proficiency points was becoming increasingly unhealthy.

Not long ago, she clicked on the system screen, wanting to see the various skills she had learned in this cycle.

It turned out that due to the expansion of the company, her own R&D pressure dropped sharply, and she was dragged by Lu Yu to enjoy life in various ways. Her career-related proficiency points had almost dropped to nearly 30%, and the remaining points were all spent on eating, drinking and having fun.

Moreover, the skills related to game development are basically stagnant. Instead, many other skills have emerged.
Especially the wife series skills:
【Smearing Technique Lv4】

【Massage Technique Lv4】

【Housework Mastery Level 3】

【Soft-shelled turtle cooking level 3】

【Abalone Cooking Lv3】

……

These are still normal, but a few days ago, when she was not paying attention, she actually awakened such a wifely skill:
[Atmosphere Mobilization Lv1]: The host's charm is enhanced, and when you are with your loved one in places other than the bedroom, the probability of attracting the other party to initiate an encounter increases.

? ? ? ? ? ?
Seeing such a strange skill, Liu Mengyuan subconsciously hugged his arms.

Recently, she has been giving Lu Yu turtle soup and walking around in front of him in a bathrobe without any taboos.

Although she lives a comfortable life,
But, I always feel that I have played a little too much, and as a result, the system skill tree has deviated in the direction of succubus.

After all, Lu Yu is a young man full of vigor and vitality. If this fire is lit, it will be difficult to put out.

Although she likes Lu Yu very much, both of them are still innocent and have a clear conscience.

When two people understand each other well and things are going smoothly, they should openly confess their love to each other, hold hands, and go through the necessary rituals.

However, if I continue to select this kind of succubus technology tree, the chances of unexpectedly giving it away for free in various situations in the future will greatly increase...

She definitely didn't want to have her first time with Lu Yu in such a casual way.

Therefore, in order to avoid completely falling into the path of succubus degeneration, she must start to develop her career seriously and rebuild her skill tree.

It's impossible that after doing this, she will continue to use her skills crazily towards the succubus, right?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Cheer up, Liu Mengyuan!

After the meeting with the animation team, she began to think about it in her mind.

Since the animation of Cat Girl Paradise has been decided, we can directly make a trailer and participate in EASTJOY.

In this case, Taoyuan Township will announce three major news at the EASTJOY exhibition, namely
The development progress of Lu Di Yu Mo, the TV animation of Cat Girl Paradise, and the first promotion of "The Life of a Mouth Cannon".

After these three sets of combined punches, I want to see how Youyi Company will withstand them?

The girl's mouth curled up.

……

into the night.

A private chat group called "Huaxia Investor Club" was bustling with activity, with all sorts of news about investors with the title of president frantically flooding the group:

Mr. Zhao from Tianyou Capital: "Have you come across any promising startups recently? I'm currently looking for new projects in the fields of cloud computing and artificial intelligence."

Mr. Zhang from Yingchuang Fund: "Mr. Zhao, I've been investing in blockchain lately. I think it has huge potential. Are you interested?"

A novice investor asked: "Excuse me, bosses, but I have a question. Do you think the team is more important than the product in early-stage investment? Is investing in the project more important or investing in the people more important?"

Mr. Zhao from Tianyou Capital: "I believe investing in people is important. A good team can learn and adjust quickly even if they make mistakes in products and markets."

Mr. Li from Shunwei Investment: "Speaking of the market, I've recently seen some new market trends, such as NFT. Do you think this area is worth investing in?"

Yingchuang Fund - Mr. Zhang: "NFT is indeed hot, but it is also full of bubbles and needs to be carefully distinguished."

……

Suddenly, a message popped up in the group: "Mr. Cao from Huihuang Fund" sent everyone a big red envelope of 1888 yuan.

Mr. Zhao from Tianyou Capital: "They say that when good things happen, people feel refreshed. What new opportunity has Mr. Cao found to make a fortune?"

Mr. Cao from Huihuang Fund: "I didn't get rich, but I got rid of a bad burden. I feel very good."

Win-Win Era - Mr. Qian: "A rotten burden? Could it be that Mr. Cao has finally sold Dark Horse Animation?"
