The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 59 Gu Meng is very busy
Speaking of which, Gu Meng is very busy.

It is already January 1st, which is theoretically New Year's Day, a legal holiday, but he has actually already started working.

There weren't many other people in the company besides him. They had just finished a big project and everyone needed a break and couldn't keep working overtime.

Gu Meng discovered that sometimes people are not unwilling to work, but because they have not found what they like to do.

In his previous life, Gu Meng didn’t want to go to work at all. He couldn’t get out of bed every day and had to squeeze into the subway to get to the company at a certain time.

I thought that one day when I had enough money, I would charter a subway train and leave those idiots who work with me to watch.

I don’t have to go to work anymore.

As it turned out, he really had money and no longer had to squeeze into the subway, because Gu Meng almost lived in the company.

Over the past six months, I've been managing the company, handling systems and important decisions, and focusing on the job changes of talented individuals...

It was a bit hesitant at first, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly.

It could be due to the experience of the previous life, or it could be due to the fact that after two lifetimes as a human, his mental strength and stress resistance have greatly increased, he is tireless, and his learning ability has become stronger.

After gradually becoming familiar with the job, many things became easy for me to handle, and I could run the company like my own arm.

My mind is becoming clearer and clearer, I can handle things faster and more accurately, and I can spot anything wrong at a glance.

Soon, even if he was obsessive-compulsive and wanted to get involved in various aspects, it would not take up all his time.

It is not clear what the state of the hardworking emperors in ancient times was like. Gu Meng feels that his current mental state is unlike his own, as if his CPU has been upgraded.

In half a year, I found time to write hundreds of thousands of words of my own copywriting. I optimized the system for some of the unused parts and simply posted them online after real-name authentication as short martial arts novels.

Even the recycling of abandoned projects made employees lament that the Dragon King's energy had overflowed.

Only then did the employees realize how terrifying Mr. Gu’s workload was.

In addition, there are many more activities, such as public short-term speeches. Gu Meng often gives employees a lot of encouragement to make everyone more confident.

In my previous life, I saw on the news that Feng Ji said his main job was to pump up the energy, learning from a certain electronic succubus, Cyber ​​Daji—

Of course, we players know that his real job is to write lyrics and make dumplings for Diecuo. Feng Ji made this game just for his musical dream (fog)!

Gu Meng learned from these outstanding predecessors and gave more than 1 one-on-one and one-on-n speeches in half a year. Every mosquito in the company could recite Gu Meng's speeches.

Every time, my blood boils, my emotions run high, and I speak from the bottom of my heart. I do the most work and get paid 2.5 times more than my peers in the industry.

When talking about excitement, Gu Meng would also use a lot of body movements, such as waving his arms and cheering.

Gradually, even the pure workers who were initially unimpressed by Gu Meng's ambitions began to respond and raised their hands.

They became more and more motivated, working overtime until Gu Meng required them to take turns to rest to prevent overwork.

It reached a peak state, and even the logistics and security personnel were persuaded, feeling that following You Xuan was a meaningful job, not just about making money.

Instead, they have the mission of revitalizing China's stand-alone game industry and breaking the dominance of major blockbusters coming from abroad.

With the help of the system's second-hand bonus, the company team gradually improved the game, and Gu Meng spent a lot of money to integrate and optimize the work materials through the system.

Throughout the process, the team's cohesion has also become stronger.

If a normal team has more than five people, work efficiency will continue to decline because it takes a long time for people to communicate with each other, and the number of people will increase from one to fifty.

Assuming the level remains the same, work efficiency will not increase by 50 times, but it would be very good if it could increase by 20 to 30 times.

In the past, large companies like Ubisoft had tens of thousands of employees, while Game Science had more than a hundred full-time employees.

There are of course many reasons for this, such as the fact that there are only a few people actually working among the tens of thousands of people, and they are divided into several project teams, but it also indirectly explains the problem.

Sometimes some great game producers may serve as directors to increase efficiency. They don’t have to do the work themselves. Generally, a team of seven or eight people needs a big brother who is very capable.

Just like Huan Shou and Lupa, Huan Shou's working ability is not inferior to Lupa, but Gu Meng is more optimistic about Lupa because he has stronger management and integration capabilities.

When a team has hundreds of people, coordination ability is sometimes even more important. The entire team needs to know what they want and work together.

So before making a game, Gu Meng would first unify his thoughts on what kind of game he wanted to make.

Adjustments can be made in the middle, but the general direction remains unchanged.

This is based on the director's ability. Gu Meng has inherited the directing and photography functions of his predecessor, and has also made many films and has experience. This is a case of learning by analogy, but he feels that it is of the same nature.

If the director's ideas keep changing during the game production process and he doesn't know what he wants, the production period will be extremely slow. For example, there was a director named Wang in my previous life, whose work was incredibly slow.

time is life.

In addition, in the later stages of game production, Gu Meng had to constantly communicate and adjust the system, repeatedly state the requirements, and carefully confirm every possible risk point.

After the game was completed, I continued to sing, find a suitable female singer, and record the MV.

He spoke to the editing department about the requirements for the promotional video and was responsible for some of the promotional matters. He also gave interviews, made public appearances to promote the game, and personally gave speeches at major game shows, such as the Wuxia Contest.

Gu Meng is not idle after work. He also plays various games that are at least more technologically advanced in the world to learn from experience and also learn cutting-edge game production technology.

I don’t seek to understand everything, but I can understand most of the steps. Thanks to my improved learning ability…

Most of the company affairs are handled by his subordinates, but they still have to be reviewed by Gu Meng in the end.

Gu Meng really took charge of everything. He even delivered the milk himself.

Gu Meng now has more money than he can spend. Given his frugal spending habits, he doesn't need to buy a house. He has no interest in real cars and only likes racing in games.

No prostitution, no gambling, no smoking, no drinking, and no bad habits.

Under normal circumstances, if you don't mess around, you may not be able to spend even one percent of the company's assets in your lifetime.

The biggest expense was making the game. This time the team was immature and the finished product was not very complete, so I spent a lot of money.

Logically speaking, making money is really meaningless to him. He has never thought about becoming the richest man. Aren’t hundreds of millions enough for him to spend?
Why should he continue to make games? If he really has tens of billions of extra private assets in the future, he won’t be able to use them all up from making games. Gu Meng might even be able to donate it. He is not interested in money.

But he just loves to work.

Maybe just like Jackie Chan still wants to make movies at his age, Gu Meng just likes games.

He is still secretly teaching himself programming, but his progress is very slow and not even half as good as the system.

At the dinner yesterday, Gu Meng only ate beef rice and didn't drink any alcohol.

After getting drunk at someone else's house last time, Gu Meng felt that alcohol was not a good thing, and he was also afraid of saying something uncontrollable after drinking.

Alcohol and sex often lead to dementia, so Gu Meng has quit drinking.

Unless it was a special occasion, then he might drink a little, but it was obviously unnecessary in an occasion like yesterday.

Speaking of which, there was an unexpected surprise when we had beef rice yesterday. The waiter, Zhongzhi, who looked so weak and a bit like a effeminate boy, was a friend of Lupa and Huanshou. According to them, "Zhongzhi's talent is far better than mine."

Recently, many employees have been reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms after get off work - this is what it means when they are brainwashed by Gu Meng.

Sometimes the way I speak has that flavor.

From what they said, this is Xu Shu recommending Zhuge Kongming, the Sleeping Dragon.

After some questioning, they both said that before they met the stunning Gu Meng, Zhong Zhi was the most talented person they had ever seen.

Moreover, he is younger than both of them and dropped out of college before completing it.

Something must have happened between the three of them, but that was just a private matter, maybe some emotional dispute, so Gu Meng didn't care too much.

Now Zhongzhi went out alone to make games and failed and even got into debt. It seems that Rupa meant that he wanted to support his friend.

Stop working at Yoshinoya and make games together.

It just so happened that Lupa and Huan had other important tasks to do with him, and had already discussed the matter of "Phantom Beast Palu". The company also wanted to recruit new members for the second phase of Youxuan.

He took advantage of the situation yesterday to recruit Zhong Zhi. After he refused for a while, he heard that Gu Meng was the producer of "Pure Love" and "The Legend of Heroes", so he agreed.

Monk: Captain Li, I join!
That night, Gu Meng wanted to grab the little boy and sleep with him.

Brainwash them into becoming one of their own.

I feel that being too enthusiastic is not a good idea, so I let him and Rupa and the others go home first.

Gu Meng plans to divide the company into two groups and advance the game project at the same time.

Except for the group working on "Phantom Beast Palu", the rest of them accompanied him to play the Three Kingdoms game.

If a few people are left to maintain Qunxiazhuan, as the company grows bigger, simultaneous development will become common.

This new game does not have any new treasure chest props, only a motion capture room, and it may be more troublesome to produce than the last martial arts game.

If the requirements are higher and the pursuit is more, the difficulty will be even greater, and we need talented producers to join us.

It's a good opportunity to test Zhongzhi's ability. There should be no problem with his ability. Lupa and Huanshou will not lie to me about such a thing.

However, due to Zhongzhi’s previous failure, we need to observe more.

Gu Meng has been coaching Rupa and the other two for half a year. Although the time is short, he has already felt that they are reliable. Both of them have been promoted and are now project leaders.

In fact, they are both already considered game directors of the company, they just lack a title.

If "Palu" is successful, in addition to the official status, they will also be given a salary increase and a higher share of the profits. Gu Meng is very generous to his subordinates. It is too low to hold on to money and act like Grandet just to increase the amount of property.
