Chapter 97 This Producer is Too Crazy (Please Subscribe)

So far in this cycle, Liu Mengyuan has earned a total of 1021 proficiency points from Taoyuan Township employees.

Although the number of points was large, her brows tightened slightly when she checked the distribution ratio.

There are only 401 proficiency points related to game development.

The remaining 620 points were spent on eating, drinking, playing games, soaking in hot springs, working out, and shopping...

There are even proficiency points for the Gachapon machine.

Emmm... More than 40 days have passed in this cycle, and I still have nearly half the time left. I need to earn 600 game development points to complete the system's romance mission.

It seems that as the vice president, I have to continue to increase my efforts and follow up on the development of various business lines.

……

After lunch on Wednesday, all employees went to the large conference room on the fifth floor to watch a special live broadcast previewing the EASTJOY exhibition.

The full name of EASTJOY is China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Expo, which is one of the most well-known and influential game exhibitions in the global digital entertainment field.

The program introduces the preparations for the exhibition and the manufacturers who have registered to participate.

Moreover, before the opening of each year, the organizing committee will invite the game manufacturers who have contracted the most booths and placed the most advertisements to hold a preview interview as a benefit for the sponsors.

In previous years, this preview interview was conducted by Tenghui Interactive Entertainment, but this year it was Youyi Company.

This year, Youyi Company invested the largest amount in its history in the exhibition, and its "Fantasy Westward Journey", "Journey to the West", "Shunhuo Nuan", "Ghost of a Man", "Lost Dreams", "World of Dragons", "Light Destroyer" and other titles were all exhibited.

Moreover, Youyi Company gave the biggest C position at this year's booth to the "Boss Simulator" project.

Therefore, Zou Zhongtian, the game producer of Boss Simulator and deputy general manager of Frostwolf Studio, accepted the interview on behalf of Youyi Company.

On the TV screen, the female host opened the show with a sweet voice:

"Dear players and friends, welcome to watch this year's EASTJOY preview interview program.

We are honored to have Mr. Zou Zhongtian, the manager of Youyi Company, on this program.”

After a brief greeting, the host got to the point:
"Manager Zou and the Youyi Company behind you are relatively new to our show. This year, the game 'Boss Simulator' will be available to players at booth C in Hall 1. What are your thoughts, Manager Zou?"

Zou Zhongtian took the microphone and said in a steady voice:

"In fact, over the years, the outside world has had a misconception about Youyi, that we are not aggressive in business expansion. Many industry analysts even describe Youyi as a perpetual runner-up, a little lamb.

To reverse this impression and to align with Chairman Liu Lan's industry-wide expansion strategy, Youyi will adopt a more aggressive approach to seize market share."

When talking about Liu Lan, Zou Zhongtian's eyes were full of admiration and awe.

"This year, I promise all players that you will see a different Youyi Company and a different Frostwolf Studios!"

The live broadcast room began to flood the screen with comments:
"Oh, this manager is very motivated."

"Oh, publicly expressing loyalty and flattering the chairman is already a long-standing tradition within the Liu Group. It's nothing new."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's talk about Boss Simulator. I've been itching to play it since I saw the trailer last time."

Seeing that the audience couldn't wait any longer, the host went straight to the point:
"The Boss Simulator genre has never been seen before on the market. I heard you were the first to come up with this idea. Could you please tell me how you came up with this gameplay that combines urban role-playing and business simulation?"

……

When the TV program reached this point, the old employees of Frostwolf Studio all looked at Mo Xiaoxuan.

They all knew in their hearts that Zou Zhongtian was just a relative who didn't work in Frost Wolf. He used to be Manager Shi's direct subordinate, and it seemed that he was also a distant relative.

They are also very clear about the history and development of the Boss Simulator project.

One day, after drinking at a team-building event, Zou Zhongtian, the team leader, suddenly had an idea and decided on the direction of a new project. He wanted to have fun playing the game of being a boss.

After saying this, he threw the heavy design task to Mo Xiaoxuan, forcing Mo Xiaoxuan to stay up late to work overtime, and even give up his weekend rest to come to the company to work on the plan for him.

Before writing, he and Mo Xiaoxuan had agreed that this plan would be the joint achievement of both of them.

In the end, he took all the dozens of pages of the plan for himself. To prevent the matter from being exposed, and also to show off his prowess to the young intern Mo Xiaoxuan, he immediately changed his attitude after accepting the plan and gave Mo Xiaoxuan a poor performance rating.

The performance review read: "He was passive and slacking off for several consecutive days and did not produce any work results."

Zhang Fan, who vaguely guessed what was going on, couldn't stand it and had a big quarrel with Zou Zhongtian. From then on, he became a thorn in the other party's side and was fired by Youyi Company shortly afterwards.

After Mo Xiaoxuan's plan was submitted, the group's project review committee gave it unanimous praise, and Zou Zhongtian was promoted to deputy general manager of Frostwolf Studio.

Looking at Zou Zhongtian on the TV screen, Mo Xiaoxuan recalled his previous experience of being PUA, and his lips began to turn white.

Zou Zhongtian in the program touched his nose and said slowly:
“Well, actually this idea comes from my observation of real life.

In reality, many people dream of owning their own company and becoming a boss. However, running a company in reality is not so perfect, and there will be various challenges and pressures. So I wanted to create a meal replacement for players in the game world.

Moreover, business simulation stand-alone games have a large market overseas, but there is still a blue ocean in China, and the competition in this field is not so fierce.

But I am not limited to completely imitating successful simulation games abroad. I want to create a more diverse and interesting world.

So, I broke new ground by combining elements of management, adventure, and role-playing, and this project was born.”

The female host listened attentively, looking at Zou Zhongtian's beautiful eyes full of admiration.

She praised from the bottom of her heart: "In today's increasingly homogenized domestic market, it is a blessing for gamers to have a producer like you who dares to break through and innovate in the gaming industry!"

"Where."

Zou Zhongtian was polite for a moment, then changed the subject:
"It's not that I'm outstanding, I'm just doing the job that a game developer with a dream should do. It's my colleagues who are too lazy and can't produce urban games that will surprise players. Haha, everyone needs to work harder..."

After saying this, his expression was proud.

Mo Xiaoxuan's face turned pale. The analyses that Zou Zhongtian said were all the opening remarks of the planning proposal that Mo Xiaoxuan had painstakingly written before.

I didn't expect that Zou Zhongtian was too lazy to even wash the manuscript and just copied it and used it directly.

Zhang Fan was so angry that he slammed the table: "Fuck you, you don't even care about your dignity!"

Shao Peng, Pan Hao and other old Frostwolves employees also looked angry.

Although they were not as miserable as Mo Xiaoxuan, they were more or less cheated by Zou Zhongtian.

The live broadcast room was flooded with comments:
"Fuck, this Manager Zou is so fucking arrogant!"

"What's wrong with being arrogant? A talented producer should have the capital to be arrogant! If he doesn't agree, other exhibitors can use their competing products to slap him in the face."

"You're so deadly, you're not afraid to set a flag."

"The above person, you're right, this is the only urban adventure film that has recently released a trailer."

"This year's booths were all just awful, with Youyi being the only one worth looking at. Tenghui, Beautiful World, Dongshanju, and Shengju Network were all just clichéd PK-oriented MMOs."

"Wow, that means the limelight at EASTJOY this year will be stolen by Youyi Company."

Seeing the live broadcast room was extremely popular, the host struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask:
"As you know, Frostwolf Studios has previously experimented with a number of products from different directions, but the results have not been satisfactory. What do you think are the unique advantages of the current Frostwolf Studios compared to the past?"

Hearing this question, Zou Zhongtian's eyes gradually became sharp.

“Of course, the most important thing is that we have built an unparalleled talent advantage in the industry.

Friends in the industry may have heard from various channels that our Frostwolf Studio has undergone a major overhaul this year, and our headhunters have discovered a group of emerging top talents from various companies.

We at Liu Group have always firmly believed in the "80/20 rule," and so does Frostwolf Studios.

For example, the fresh graduates we recruit will be evaluated a few months after they join the company, and the bottom 20% will be eliminated.

At the same time, some old employees who were passive and idle were also eliminated.”

The host interjected, "Wouldn't that be too cruel to those who leave?"

Zou Zhongtian sneered: "The gaming industry follows the law of the jungle. Survival of the fittest. Those without real talent and knowledge, please leave."
