My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 189 Hard Bridge

Chapter 189 Hard Bridge
For several seconds, Chu Hong stood frozen in place, his soul seemingly leaving his body, before returning to the mortal realm and regaining control of his own body.

He could feel his heart pounding, its pumping speed increasing.

Chu Hong unconsciously tightened his grip on his phone, took a deep breath, and then spoke in a calm voice.

"I've seen you before, what's wrong?"

Those familiar with him can still hear a slight lisp in the last syllable of his sentences.

Clearly, Chu Hong wasn't as calm as he was pretending to be.

"Oh, is that so..."

“Mr. Chu, Focus New Recruitment is a top-tier headhunting firm in China.”

"We have a cooperative relationship with Mr. Zhou of Megvii Games."

"President Zhou greatly appreciates you. He feels that with your talent, it would be a waste for you to stay at Asia United Film Company."

The implication is that they want to find a new place for Chu Hong.

Chu Hong never expected that this would be a phone call trying to poach his employee.

Caught off guard.

However, he was still extremely happy to hear that he had been appreciated by the boss of the company that produced "The Netherworld Mountains and Seas".

But he still had a question.

The two barely exchanged a few words, so how could the other person possibly think he had any special talent?
Not to mention going to great lengths to find a headhunting firm to recruit you.

Therefore, Chu Hong did not jump to the conclusion immediately, but continued to ask questions.

"Oh, really? What does he want to do?"

The other person's voice remained calm, indicating great patience.

"Mr. Zhou would like to meet with you to discuss this in detail. If it is convenient for you, you can go to the headquarters of Kuangshi Games at any time. Just tell them who you are."

"If it's inconvenient for you, you can also choose the time and place."

"Let me know so I can contact Kuangshi Games."

"Mr. Zhou is sincerely trying to recruit you. If you join Kuangshi Games, the treatment, resources, platform, and development opportunities are incomparable to those of Asia United Pictures."

The headhunter's voice was very gentle, as if it possessed some kind of magic, drawing Chu Hong unconsciously into his words.

Chu Hong was indeed somewhat tempted.

"If I change jobs, what kind of position would they offer me?"

Chu Hong asked the most crucial question.

The other party is a game company. Although animation and games are closely related, and many game developers may even study animation-related majors in college, the two are still different.

Does this mean I've joined Megvii Games and will continue working on special effects?

Or is it for some other purpose?

A soft chuckle came from the other end of the microphone, followed by a speech.

"President Zhou said that you can be in charge of work related to film and television adaptations, but what exactly will you be doing..."

"The details still need to be discussed between you and Mr. Zhou..."

"I can't say more about this."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hong's heart stirred.

The owner of Kuangshi Games came to their company before specifically for the film and television adaptation of "Youming Shanhai".

Could it be that the film adaptation work this headhunter mentioned is about adapting "The Mysterious Mountains and Seas" into a movie?

If that's the case, then I'm willing to be in charge of the special effects for the movie "The Lost Tomb"!
A surge of excitement rose in Chu Hong's heart, and he could not suppress his inner excitement.

"Okay, I'll go to the office of Kuangshi Games tomorrow morning. Please inform them for me."

"No problem, Mr. Chu. I will contact Megvii Games. Don't worry about that."

"OK, thanks."

"Goodbye."

Even after hanging up the phone, Chu Hong's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

The thought of having the opportunity to participate in the film adaptation of his favorite game filled him with excitement.

Chu Hong imagined how amazing it would be to see such a bizarre and fantastical world as "The Underworld" appear on the big screen.

He never imagined that he would be recruited by the CEO of Kuangshi Games, whom he had only met once.

What are the chances of that happening?
Suddenly, he thought of something.

If I can meet Mr. Zhou during my interview tomorrow, wouldn't I be able to persuade him not to hand over "The Netherworld Mountains and Seas" to my company?

In that case, even if I don't change jobs, it would still be a great achievement!
only……

The thought that doing so would be tantamount to ruining a major business deal for his company made Chu Hong hesitate again.

However, this hesitation only lingered in his mind for three seconds.

Say!
Say it fiercely!

Explain yourself clearly to the other party, word by word!

We absolutely cannot let the first adaptation of the "Youming Shanhai" IP fall into the hands of the boss's brother, who only knows how to make cheesy popcorn movies!
Regardless of whether I can be in charge of the special effects department for the movie "The Lost Tomb," I can at least do something good for players all over the world who love this game!
……

……

After taking a shower, Chu Hong fell into a deep sleep.

The night passed peacefully, and the next morning, he got up early and tidied his clothes.

He put on the suit that he rarely had the chance to wear, only on formal occasions.

Looking in the mirror, I smoothed out the wrinkles on my clothes and then carefully tidied my messy hair that had gotten from sleeping.

Chu Hong took today's interview very seriously, so he wanted to present his best self to others.

Although it was CEO Zhou of Kuangshi Games who specifically named him to poach him, nothing in this world is static.

What is eternal?
This meeting was a two-way selection process.

While Chu Hong was choosing his partner, the other party was also choosing him.

After taking care of himself, Chu Hongcai took a breath and sent a text message to his colleagues to ask for leave.

Today is still a workday, but that doesn't matter anymore.

Ever since hearing the name "The Netherworld Mountains and Seas," Chu Hong has lost all sense of "rationality."

As a result, the other party replied as soon as he sent the text message requesting leave.

"We have a project today that requires the special effects department's cooperation, so you'd better come to the office."

I personally recommend that you continue coming to work.

Tsk.

Chu Hong was somewhat displeased.

He used personal leave, and the reason he gave was to accompany his family to the hospital.

Do they really expect me to go to the company?
What a load of nonsense!
The HR department is good at making trouble out of nothing!

He threw his phone into his pocket and didn't reply to the message at all.

He took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

Chu Hong found the taxi he had booked and took it to the headquarters building of Megvii Games.

After getting off the bus, he looked around and found the headquarters of Megvii Games.

Looking at the modern high-rise building in front of him, surrounded by similar office buildings, Chu Hong couldn't help but feel even more excited about the meeting.

Upon entering the building, Chu Hong explained his purpose to the receptionist. Shortly after, a man took the elevator to the first floor and approached him.

"Hello, is this Mr. Chu Hong?"

"Yes, it's me."

Chu Hong nodded quickly in reply.

"I am Mr. Zhou's assistant. He has been waiting for you upstairs for a long time. Please come with me."

"Okay, I'm done."

Following the other party, Chu Hong took the elevator to the floor of the game company. Throughout the entire process, Chu Hong was thinking about his strategy for the upcoming meeting and had no time to observe anything else.

Stepping out of the elevator and into the offices of Kuangshi Games, Chu Hong sensed an inexplicable sense of seriousness.

The entire floor was well-organized, and the employees were all doing their own work. Apart from the occasional hushed conversation, it was very quiet.

Even the ground was very clean, without any litter or even scraps of paper.

At a glance, Chu Hong could immediately sense the difference between them and Asia United Film Studios. There, whether it was a large department or a small department like theirs with only about ten people, everything was in disarray.

The setup was a mess, and the work was done haphazardly; in short, it was a makeshift operation.

Asia United Films has managed to survive in the industry, and even do quite well, purely because of the contrast with its peers.

Chu Hong followed behind the other person to the door of an office. The assistant turned around and gave him a smile.

"Mr. Zhou is inside. You can just knock and go in."

"Good luck."

Hearing the other party's well-intentioned encouragement, Chu Hong also showed a sincere smile.

"Thank you."

Wang Fu turned and left, while Chu Hong also turned around, facing the office door not far in front of him.

The plaque on the door reads "President's Office".

This made his body tense up involuntarily.

Chu Hong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled...

it is good!
"Boom, boom, boom!"

Chu Hong opened his eyes and rhythmically tapped the door three times with his knuckles.

"Please come in."

Pushing open the door, a very spacious office came into view.

The soft light inside the room shone on the floor as Zhou Kuang stood up from behind the huge solid wood desk.

Chu Hong immediately recognized the other person as General Manager Zhou, who had come to his company that day.

Zhou Kuang walked over with a smile and said familiarly.

"Mr. Chu, you've arrived."

"Please sit down, I'll make you some tea."

Chu Hong was about to speak when Zhou Kuang interrupted him.

"This is a tea that your General Manager Huang gave me. I don't know much about tea, but it is indeed quite delicious."

"It's supposedly some kind of tea from Wuyi Mountain, but I can't remember exactly."

"Try it."

Zhou Kuang picked up a new teacup from a tea set, poured in steaming tea, and handed it over.

"Mr. Zhou, you're too kind."

Chu Hong took it as he spoke, but in his heart he was badmouthing Huang Renjun.

Huang Renjun is a real scoundrel. He's stingy with his employees' salaries, but he's so generous when it comes to currying favor with clients...

Inhuman!
He should change his name to Huang Shiren!

After watching Chu Hong drink it, Zhou Kuang looked at the tea, which had been reduced by a third, and smiled.

Take down.

"I met you last time, and I was hoping to have a chance to chat with you more, but with your boss Mr. Huang here, I didn't feel comfortable bringing it up."

"Let me be frank, I have high hopes for you. Would you like to join our Kuangshi Games?"

Zhou Kuang appeared extremely relaxed, sitting opposite Chu Hong, watching him and waiting for his reply.

Chu Hong hadn't expected that Zhou Kuang would immediately begin the entire poaching process without asking for any further information, right after he had just entered.

Although he could agree against his will, his personality prevented him from doing so.

Because Chu Hong still had a question in his mind.

"Do you need me to be in charge of the special effects for your company's games?"

Seeing that Chu Hong did not agree directly, Zhou Kuang was not in a hurry, but simply shook his head at the question Chu Hong raised.

"So you want me to join the animation department?"

Zhou Kuang shook his head again.

"That……"

Chu Hong couldn't think of any other options, so he could only look to Zhou Kuang for help.

Zhou Kuang smiled and pointed at him.

"You will be the director of the movie 'The Netherworld Mountains and Seas'."

"Um……"

"Ok?"

"what?!"

Chu Hong nodded subconsciously, then realized what the other person was talking about, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Kuang with an incredulous expression.

He felt his mind go blank for a moment, and he didn't even know where he was or who he was.

It took him several seconds to come to his senses.

His voice trembled slightly.

"Mr. Zhou, this...how can this be...is this alright?"

Chu Hong originally wanted to say, "How can this be?", but halfway through his sentence, he subconsciously changed his mind, fearing that the other party would withdraw the proposal.

"Why not?"

Zhou Kuang asked in return with a puzzled expression.

Chu Hong felt his palms were sweating.

"Mr. Zhou, I graduated with a degree in animation and previously worked in special effects."

"Although I like movies, I have never been a director."

Chu Hong was willing to risk losing his job to tell the truth.

After telling the truth, he felt a sense of relief.

Zhou Kuang looked serious and leaned forward slightly towards Chu Hong.

He said it with unusual firmness.

"Chu Hong, my greatest strength, and the biggest factor in my success so far, is my ability to recognize people."

"Do you believe that you can not only be a director, but also become a top-notch animation director?"

Hearing the other party's words so certain, even Chu Hong himself began to have doubts.

Am I that powerful?

real or fake?

Inside Chu Hong's heart, angels and demons were locked in a battle.

The angel said: "Mr. Zhou is wrong. You have no experience as a director, and you're bound to mess things up. Even if you have the potential to become a director in the future, it won't be now, and you certainly won't succeed on your first try."

The devil said: "Don't worry about whether what Mr. Zhou said is right or wrong. This is an opportunity for you. Haven't you always dreamed of directing your own movie? Even if you fail, you'll only lose your job. Others will bear the loss!"

Seeing his hesitation, Zhou Kuang saw through his thoughts.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a lack of experience."

"Do you think that just because my employees and I were involved before we started making 'The Netherworld Mountains and Seas', we weren't worried?"

"Roads are made by walking, and things are accomplished by doing."

"I believe that anything is possible with human effort, and I have even more faith in your potential."

"You have nothing to lose, don't you?"

“If you reject my proposal today, you may never have a similar opportunity in your life.”

Are you willing to wait until you're old and regret what you've achieved today?

"Give me an answer."

"I just need an answer."

Would you like to join Megvii Games?

After listening to Zhou Kuang's persuasion, Chu Hong struggled with his conscience for almost a full minute before finally raising his head.
