Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu isn't worried at all that "Black Myth: Wukong" will follow the same path as "Dou Zhan Shen". 💙☝ ➅❾ˢh𝓤x.ς𝕆ᵐ ☆♝ His confidence stems from the fact that he already has enough capital to squander.

Don't say that "Black Myth" is unlikely to fail.

Even if he fails, Snail Games has a constant supply of bullets from Clash of Clans, so he can afford to lose this gamble.

If Snail Games currently only has tens of millions of yuan in cash on its books.

Li Haoyu's plan might be different. He might not develop such a big production so early. Wouldn't it be better to use those tens of millions to develop small games?

Having surplus grain at home brings peace of mind. Especially with Clash of Clans providing Snail Games with a stable cash flow, Li Haoyu felt a strong sense of security.

In particular, Li Haoyu can develop "Clash Royale" in the future to supplement the company's cash flow, so Li Haoyu will not need to worry about money in the short term.

Under these circumstances, developing "Black Myth" is indeed not too stressful. In Li Haoyu's view, while developing and producing "Black Myth" cannot be said to be a sure thing, it is still a long shot.

However, a success rate of 60-70% can still be guaranteed.

This probability is enough for him to continue developing it.

This principle is actually not difficult to understand. Li Haoyu had heard a short story about Lü Buwei.

When I was a child, I once asked my father, "How many times the profit can be made from farming?"

The father said, "At most ten times."

Lü Buwei then asked, "If one were to sell pearls and jade, how many times the profit could one make?"

The father said, "At most, it could be a hundred times."

Lü Buwei then asked, "How many times more profit can one gain by establishing a monarch for a country?"

The father said, "It's immeasurable."

This story teaches us a simple truth:

Returns are often proportional to risks.

Therefore, Li Haoyu decided to take a gamble.

If Li Haoyu wins this gamble, Snail Games will solidify its position as an industry giant. If it fails, the worst outcome will simply be a temporary setback.

After all, the gaming industry is such a vast market that it can certainly support the birth of a giant. In fact, following the success of Snail Games, many game companies have emerged that imitated Snail Games.

Li Haoyu could roughly guess what they were thinking.

If Snail Games can succeed, why can't they replicate its success? They don't need to be as successful as Snail Games, but they would be satisfied with just three or four points of its success.

Li Haoyu also couldn't figure out where these startups got their confidence from.

In Li Haoyu's view, a hit game is one that not only has good gameplay, but also brings fun to most players and can make money at the same time.

It sounds very simple:

However, if remaking a game were that easy, there wouldn't be only one snail game left.

However, while strategically underestimating the opponent, tactically it's still crucial to take them seriously. 🎄💀 ❻➈𝓼Ĥυ𝔵.ᑕ𝕠𝓂 🐤🐯

Li Hao instructed Ma Dong to continue preparations, while urging the HR director to continue recruiting top talents in game development, ensuring the game development team was fully staffed.

As long as you do your best, the game is excellent enough.

Its competitors and imitators are naturally not a concern.

During this period, Li Haoyu and Ma Dong formed a secret game development team to discuss matters related to "Black Myth".

The secret team was small, consisting of only about ten people including artists and designers. This was in stark contrast to Snail Games, whose game project teams now typically number in the hundreds.

It's simply not worth mentioning.

Although the number of people is small, each one is a highly skilled and capable individual. These people have been working together for some time, understand each other well, and are thoroughly familiar with each other's abilities.

They are also familiar with the game development process.

This is a highly capable game development team.

Li Haoyu didn't restrict their creativity too much, only offering a general idea. Of course, there were disagreements about specific styles, but the overall direction remained unchanged.

The discussions were very relaxed, unlike the serious atmosphere of company meetings. Everyone talked every day—during meals and at their desks.

After some time of tinkering.

Finally, we've made some progress...

Ultimately, a consensus was reached: the game's tone was set as an action game with weak online connectivity, strong combat experience, and a preference for melee weapon fighting.

At the same time, it should be an action game with a strong sense of enemy pressure, ingenious level structure, and fragmented narrative with a mysterious style.

Li Haoyu felt that having many ideas was not as effective as taking action.

He asked Ma Dong to use the short episode of "Wukong's First Fight with the Tiger" as a minimal verification model. A relatively simple, fixed scenario was selected for simulation.

If the results are satisfactory, we can begin large-scale production.

The final result was quite good.

Li Haoyu even tried it out himself.

The demo version, which lasted less than two minutes, showed that the game's combat effects were not very good, some skill designs were also rough, and many details were not up to par.

However, considering the tight timeframe and limited manpower...

This is already a pretty good answer sheet.

In this rented secret base, Li Haoyu officially announced the launch of the "Black Myth: Wukong" project. The subsequent development process was also put on the agenda.

……

Li Haoyu has truly become more detached from worldly desires lately.

He had just won over Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin, yet he didn't go out and be intimate with them.

But there are some things that even though Li Haoyu doesn't want to do, many people will still actively come up to him. Perhaps it's because Li Haoyu's car is too flashy; his otherwise uneventful life these past few days has been given a little "spice." «-(¯`v´¯)-« 6➈丂𝕙Ǘ乂.ςⓄⓜ »-(¯`v´¯)-»

Some young and pretty girls, dressed very scantily, suddenly twisted their ankles in front of Li Haoyu. Some were even more direct, asking, "Handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Haoyu would usually answer, "No."

The girl said, "Could you give me your contact information? I have a roommate..."

Li Haoyu smiled.

What a brilliant scheme to create a friend out of thin air!

When faced with a girl who isn't honest, Li Haoyu usually waves his hand and says, "Forget it." He doesn't have time to indulge this kind of pretentious girl.

If she chooses to get on the bus directly, Li Haoyu might be moved and seriously consider whether he should become a womanizer.

Perhaps this is the allure of money.

Unconsciously, many people revolve around him.

Li Haoyu himself doesn't reject this feeling.

Money is like a sixth sense; without it, you can't expect the other five senses to function fully. Without enough income, half the hope for life is cut off.

Putting everything else aside, even the property management downstairs at the secret base reserved a private parking space for Li Haoyu. This ensures that Li Haoyu can park downstairs whenever he comes.

Li Haoyu now believes that having money doesn't necessarily mean you can do whatever you want. But having money can guarantee, to the greatest extent possible, that you can choose not to do what you don't want to do.

He is currently enjoying all the benefits of money.

They really enjoyed it.

……

Considering that Zhong Xiaoqin has been neglected recently.

Li Haoyu still made plans to go out to dinner with Zhong Xiaoqin that evening.

This made Zhong Xiaoqin very happy, after all, they were still in the honeymoon phase. She couldn't stand not seeing each other for a while.

Li Haoyu parked his car downstairs at Zhong Xiaoqin's building.

Zhong Xiaoqin came out shortly after.

Perhaps because she had just been pampered, Zhong Xiaoqin looked radiant and stood out in the crowd. Of course, Li Haoyu's sports car was even more eye-catching, and Zhong Xiaoqin ran towards him without hesitation.

Previously, Zhong Xiaoqin had been complaining that Li Haoyu had been neglecting her lately. She was filled with resentment and even wanted to confront Li Haoyu and vent her anger on him.

But as soon as they met, all her previous temper vanished.

Zhong Xiaoqin stood in front of Li Haoyu with a smile on her face. "Have you been waiting long?"

Li Haoyu shook his head, hugged Zhong Xiaoqin for a while, and then said, "I did wait quite a while, so you'll have to make it up to me later."

Before Zhong Xiaoqin could speak, Li Haoyu said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a big meal first."

After saying that, he pulled Zhong Xiaoqin into the car.

As soon as she got in the car, Zhong Xiaoqin casually asked, "Are you still busy lately?"

Li Haoyu thought for a moment and said, "Things are alright from now on. I should be able to take a break before the next phase."

Chung Hsiao-chin then asked, "Is it still about company matters?"

Li Haoyu nodded and said, "Of course, what else do you think I'm doing?"

Zhong Xiaoqin sighed softly and said, "I want you to spend more time with me during this period."

Li Haoyu laughed and said, "This is nothing. I can satisfy people for three days in one go today."

"cut."

Zhong Xiaoqin lowered her head.

Li Haoyu made fun of her again.

Zhong Xiaoqin leaned back in the sports car seat, adjusting it for a while but still feeling somewhat uncomfortable. She looked at Li Haoyu, who was focused on driving, and said, "Why did you suddenly think of looking for me? I thought you'd forgotten me."

Li Haoyu replied, "I just had some free time, and you were the first person I thought of."

Zhong Xiaoqin was not very satisfied with Li Haoyu's answer.

She pouted and said, "Didn't you just say you were done with work? It's been so long and you only just remembered to contact me now. By the way, I've officially resigned."

Li Haoyu, ignoring Zhong Xiaoqin beside him, continued driving with a grin, saying, "I'm working hard for you too, aren't I? Otherwise, how can I earn money to support the family?"

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head and said, "You don't need to talk nonsense. I don't need you to earn that much money. Enough to get by is enough."

Li Haoyu didn't refute her, he just chuckled.

The two chatted casually along the way, perhaps because it was getting late. Not long after, Zhong Xiaoqin fell asleep in the passenger seat.

Zhong Xiaoqin was fast asleep, seemingly dreaming.

Her small mouth twitched slightly. Li Haoyu happened to stop the car at a red light and took a closer look. Zhong Xiaoqin's mouth was practically watering; was she having a wet dream?

Li Haoyu smiled, but didn't rush to wake her.

We arrived at the restaurant entrance.

Li Haoyu took a picture of Zhong Xiaoqin's embarrassed state with his phone.

He then gently patted Zhong Xiaoqin on the shoulder.

She groggily opened her eyes.

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "Did you get enough sleep? You're practically drooling."

Zhong Xiaoqin, who had just gotten up, looked dazed and confused.

She subconsciously licked her lips.

It wasn't until she heard Li Haoyu's words that she suddenly realized what was happening. In her haste, Zhong Xiaoqin desperately tried to cover up the saliva she had drooled, hoping to conceal the trace.

She looked at Li Haoyu, who was giving her a half-smile.

Chung Hsiao-chin couldn't stand it any longer and whispered, "I wasn't drooling! Why didn't you wake me up when I was asleep?"

When Li Haoyu saw Zhong Xiaoqin's face, it was as red as a tomato.

He stopped teasing Zhong Xiaoqin and instead grinned, saying, "Alright, let's fill your stomach first. You need to be well-fed to have the energy to do bad things."

This time, Zhong Xiaoqin did not refute.

Instead, he lowered his head and said "okay" in a low voice.

Li Haoyu had been here many times before. After he parked his car,

He led Zhong Xiaoqin inside. It was late at night, and neither of them was very hungry. They only ordered a bowl of seafood congee and a few side dishes. It must be said that a bowl of steaming hot congee at night is very comforting.

Chung Hsiao-chin asked, "What are your plans for me next?"

Li Hao said, "How can you use the word 'arrange' to describe someone's decision? Of course, it means respecting your choice. I will unconditionally support whatever you do."

Chung Hsiao-chin continued, "So you don't mind what I do?"

Li Haoyu said, "You can try it and see if I lose my temper or not."

Zhong Xiaoqin paused for a moment, then said, "Didn't you just say you'd support me no matter what?"

Li Haoyu laughed and said, "You actually believe everything a man says? Don't you trust me too much?"

Chung Hsiao-chin said with a helpless expression, "Should I leave now so as not to bother you?"

Li Haoyu immediately retorted, "I'm not that petty, okay?"

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't look Li Haoyu in the eye anymore. Was this the kind of man who could lie through his teeth?

She looked at Li Haoyu speechlessly.

She truly didn't know how she could have so easily believed Li Haoyu's lies and been tricked into marrying him. For a moment, she didn't know what to say next.

Li Haoyu, however, didn't seem to care and asked, "What's the progress of your writing?"

His words also interrupted Zhong Xiaoqin's original train of thought.

"Uh, it's almost finished, but I don't know if Yopu will have a chance to be published."

Li Haoyu smiled and patted Zhong Xiaoqin's head. "I believe in your abilities. You'll definitely be able to get it published smoothly." Li Haoyu thought to himself, "At worst, I'll just help her get it published."

To Li Haoyu's surprise...

What Chung Hsiao-chin didn't continue talking about.

Instead, she asked, "So, what are your plans for tonight?"

Seeing that Li Haoyu didn't answer, Zhong Xiaoqin hesitated for a moment but still asked, "Are you still leaving?"

Li Haoyu said, "Well, after I drop you off, I need to go to the company to prepare for tomorrow's business."

Actually, Zhong Xiaoqin has only just begun.

Li Haoyu understood Zhong Xiaoqin's hint.

However, Li Haoyu pretended not to understand.

He said, "Are you too lazy to go anywhere? I'll find a hotel nearby and book a room for you so you can get some rest. You can take a taxi back tomorrow morning."

Zhong Xiaoqin outwardly approves of Li Haoyu's arrangements.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"I came out with you late at night."

"Is it really just for one person to stay in a hotel?"
