Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

In general.

Interviews conducted by gaming websites like this are not very formal.

In addition, it was a written interview.

Therefore, it is quite casual.

The interview took place in the rest room of Spark Games.

The format also tends to be more like a few people sitting on a sofa chatting.

After the conversation, the reporter edited the content and published it.

Of course, before the article is written, it needs to be communicated with Spark Games and approved.

Throughout the interview, Lin Li appeared very confident.

That's at least how some journalists see it.

There are two main reasons for this view. One is that the success of the new version of Battlefront Girls has indeed given Lin Li a certain amount of confidence. The other is that this success has also given reporters a lot of halo of success when they look at Lin Li.

Therefore, during the interview...

Lin Lidu felt quite relaxed.

He talked for a while about his passion for game development and his confidence in the company's future development.

He also spoke some official jargon.

But obviously.

The reporter didn't come for these kinds of stories.

Fortunately, Lin Li is a straightforward person.

They quickly got to what they wanted to hear.

"Actually, everyone should understand Yu Zhong. After all, our Battlefront Girls' revenue in three days is equivalent to his data in half a year. It's also a game of the same type. It's normal for him to be unhappy."

"However, swearing is wrong. I think as a producer, you should turn this frustration into motivation, instead of barking at the players."

"As a fellow game creator, I hope that more and more good products will appear in front of players."

"If he doesn't know how to play the game, I can teach him."

"Of course, before you ask me for advice, I suggest that Yu Zhong do a live stream first, kowtow to the players, apologize, be a decent person first, and then learn something."

"After all, my gaming experience is something only a normal person can understand."

"By the way, since I'm being interviewed, I'll just mention it here."

"I heard that Tencent invested nearly 100 million yuan in a promotional agreement with SunBlast. I wonder how much YuZhong has recouped its investment. If they are having operational difficulties and can't pay salaries, they can come to me."

"We are currently short of staff, such as artists and programmers, who can come and work here."

"Copywriting? Planning? We'd rather not use those. Our approach to this is different from Yu Zhong's."

Lin Li's criticisms were extremely sharp.

Although it was said in a joking manner, it didn't really save face.

A group of reporters nodded in agreement.

They were just saying polite things on the surface.

But inside, he was screaming wildly.

"Say more! Say more!"

Furthermore, this was the first time they had ever heard of a performance-based agreement.

Therefore, we talked about this topic for a while longer.

The interview content was quickly transformed into countless news articles by the editors and distributed.

If under normal circumstances.

Such sarcastic remarks as those made by Lin Li are actually quite likely to provoke controversy.

But after Yu Zhong's taunts, Lin Li's words actually made the majority of players, especially the players of Battlefront Girls, feel a great sense of relief.

After all, Yu Zhong didn't react when you insulted him.

It felt like punching thin air; something was missing.

Lin Li's words not only made them feel relieved, but also revealed something that everyone in the industry knew, but the players didn't.

That means Yu Zhong and Tencent still have a betting agreement.

And because of this agreement, ScatterBlast may be liquidated into bankruptcy.

As the reporting deepens, more and more details about this performance-based agreement are emerging, and some even have the audacity to calculate Tencent's investment in order to boost its current daily revenue.

A conclusion was reached.

"If Yuzhong can stabilize its current revenue and stop it from declining, even without considering operating expenses and without spending any money, it would take about 15 years to repay Tencent's investment in advertising."

Then news broke that Tencent had begun an audit of SunBlast's accounts, and that Yuzhong's bankruptcy was a foregone conclusion.

Seeing this information, the players finally felt much more at ease.

That's right, that's right.

If producers like this can make money, it's truly infuriating.

at the same time.

Japan.

Tokyo International Airport.

Yu Zhong, who had just gotten off the plane, also saw these news reports.

He remained silent for a long time before finally turning off his phone.

After reading this.

Yu Zhong felt a sense of relief.

I'm so glad I bought my plane ticket in advance, and I made it to Japan.

Otherwise, once Tencent realizes what's happening, it will be much harder for him to escape.

Although Yu Zhong is very stubborn.

But he was also well aware that, under the current circumstances, it was virtually impossible to fulfill the performance-based agreement with Tencent.

Tencent could sue him for damages at any time in accordance with the performance-based agreement.

But Yu Zhong still refused to give up.

He does have some quick wit.

He believes that, given his reputation, it will be difficult for him to find investment in the country.

But in Japan, there might still be a chance.

Run went to Japan, partly to seek investment there and to keep Tencent occupied.

On the other hand, they can also use the overseas agency rights for Girls' Frontline to try to find the next sucker in Japan... no, I mean, the next investor.

He then planned to use the money to recruit a new team in Japan, and that's how he ended up living in Japan.

As for returning to China to repay the money?

Yu Zhong watched planes take off and land through the airport's huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

A week ago, the soaring data of the game made Yu Zhong extremely arrogant, so the originally agreed investment was increased again and again, and supplementary agreements to the performance-based contract were signed one after another.

Spending Tencent's money back then was incredibly satisfying.

His uncle bought a Mercedes-Benz in just a few days by taking kickbacks from advertising.

but now.

All of this needs to be accounted for.

What you ate, you have to vomit out now.

The problem is...

What will he use to vomit?

so..

Returning to China?

Which country to return to?

~~~

Because he had already made up his mind to run away.

Yu Zhong, on the contrary, is not so concerned about the current domestic public opinion crisis.

Lin Li's speech did not break his defenses.

On the contrary, another person was taken aback by a casual remark Lin Li made during an interview.

The office was blown up.

Although Yu Zhong has been missing for three days.

But people still continue to come to work.

Of course, if you look closely, those still working are mainly from the copywriting and planning teams.

what?

You ask the art team, where did the programming go?

The answer, of course, is to go for the interview.

Although Lin Li spoke in a joking tone during the interview, the day after the news was released, artists and programmers from various studios started sending their resumes to Xinghuo Games.

And those who didn't submit their resumes.

It's not that I don't want to apply, but I feel that I'm not capable enough and won't pass the interview.

After all, it's rumored in the industry that the boss of Spark Games truly understands game development and passes each interview individually; those without real skills shouldn't even bother applying.

This kind of advertorial, which sounds a bit like it was written by an HR representative from Spark Games, seems to have become much more credible with the popularity of Girls on the Frontline.

Chapter 74 First Place on Three Lists

Many people who were just scraping by on the ground-level pay side didn't dare to submit their resumes to Spark Games.

Aside from those who didn't submit their resumes.

Almost no one else is working either.

Everyone is waiting to see how Tencent will handle this. If they manage to take back the entire Sunburst team, they might still be able to get a job at Tencent.

Therefore, they were very relaxed.

But in this relaxed blasting studio, there was one person who didn't seem so relaxed.

This person is Xing Shan, the current lead writer for Sanbao.

"What do you mean the copywriting is no good?! If you don't want it, I don't want to go either! You're crazy."

Looking at the heartbreaking words in the report.

Xing Shan was truly heartbroken.

What broke her defenses even more was the text message she had just received on her phone.

These past two days everyone has been sending out resumes. Although she appears calm on the surface, she is actually quite anxious inside. Seeing that the ship of the explosion is about to sink, she naturally won't be foolish enough to wait.

He also invested in quite a few companies privately.

However, she invested in almost every company.

Upon learning that she was the lead copywriter for Sunburst, they rejected her without even asking any questions or offering her an interview.

This is actually the real reason why she broke down.
