"Teacher Wei Er, your voice sounds very different from the one in the game. It's really flexible and changeable. Of course, it's not that your voice is bad now, but if I heard it outside, I might not recognize you."
"Well, it's just like singing. People sound different when they speak and when they sing." Feng Tang sat on the chair and looked at the people around him with a smile.
It is certain that the voices are different. After all, the previous dubbing was done by Su Yi, it would be strange if they were the same.
Zhou Ming nodded: "Actually, I invited you here this time because I wanted to finish the dubbing work as soon as possible. So this game is our second work, but in fact, this is only the first."
Su Yi showed some interest: "What do you mean?"
The people in Weiai Studio looked at each other and finally chose the person in charge, Zhou Ming, to answer:
"In fact, this work is the game our studio originally wanted to make. It's a two-dimensional game based on Chinese mythology and has certain girl-raising attributes. We have also designed some maps for exploration. Although it's not open-ended, it's a big step forward."
"Although we've only made the first map, this kind of work is really too expensive, so I took on an 18+ game to fill the financial gap."
Now a lot of the work on hand is difficult to complete with their small studio alone, and sometimes they have to outsource. Even though they have tried their best to save money, they still have to live frugally.
"So that's how it is..." Su Yi understood. No wonder he felt that Wei Ai was so efficient at work. With just a few people, they could hand in two works in a short period of time. It was indeed a bit exaggerated.
A trial version has already been prepared, so this actually seems reasonable.
Supervisor Chen Hao took the opportunity to interrupt and shrugged his shoulders. I chuckled twice:
"Thanks to Mr. Wei Er, who was able to voice all the female characters, the voice acting industry in China is not yet well developed, and the unit price is really high."
"Most well-known voice actors are charged per sentence, and even doing Japanese dubbing is much better than doing Chinese dubbing. Otherwise, we really have no choice."
Everyone in the studio nodded.
For this kind of game that relies on selling illustrations and plots, the first thing is the graphics, and the second is naturally the sound. This is the case for the Eighteen Games, and it is also the case for the games they are making now.
Finally, Zhou Ming directly put forward his conditions: "Teacher Wei Er, our current capital chain is indeed insufficient, but if you can help us one more time, I am willing to give you a share of the new work. As for the share amount, we can discuss it slowly."
It is equivalent to exchanging future capital for current resources.
If he had a choice, Zhou Ming would not do this. Even though he had tried hard to attract investment, the studio's resume was still too thin. It only had one 18-plus game. Many big companies did not trust them, so even if they tried hard from all sides, they still lacked money.
the most important is.
The name [The Only Two Kittens] has become the golden signboard of their studio. The last game was a huge success thanks to the vivid dubbing.
I believe that if the dubbing remains unchanged when the new game is released, it will attract a large number of previous users, which will reduce a lot of operating costs.
But Feng Tang had a hard time answering this kind of question. She looked at Su Yi for help, blinked twice, and signaled him to speak quickly.
This is exactly what Su Yi was waiting for: "I heard from my girlfriend before that you are now recruiting investors, right? I have also played your games and experienced the new game trial version. It feels good. I am a little interested in your studio."
When these words were spoken, the other people in the studio did not react for a moment. They were whispering to each other and had been wondering who this boy was.
I didn’t expect that he was Teacher Wei Er’s boyfriend, but what he said was a bit confusing. He said he was a little interested in their work. What does that mean?
Is this a compliment?
However, Zhou Ming's eyes were shining. Others didn't know, but he saw Su Yi driving a Porsche. Moreover, he could easily get a voice actor from the Internet. Naturally, his financial resources were self-evident.
I feel excited.
But he still confirmed it out loud
"Mr. Su, do you want to invest in our studio?"
The other members watching nearby immediately started to riot.
"Investment?" ×13
Everyone's eyes lit up green. They knew exactly how much money they had on hand, and they wanted to spend every dollar in their budget.
Programming requires money, operation and promotion require money, and model drawing and rendering require money, and they often fight with each other for that little budget.
Obviously, the goal is the same, but it is almost turning into a game of Zhen Huan in the studio. In order to please the budget emperor, everyone is trying their best to prove the importance of their step, just to get a little more funding and improve the game content.
It is naturally a great thing if someone can invest and provide more funds for development.
Naturally, they turned into hungry wolves, waiting eagerly for Su Yi's answer.
However, Su Yi asked them a question first: "Who is the boss here now?"
"I, I am, I am the boss and the person in charge." Zhou Ming raised his hand instantly and said bluntly.
He originally had some money in his hands, so he founded this studio with many like-minded people. However, after running it, he felt the pressure because the money he had was not enough to spend.
That's why he is looking for investment everywhere. Now the game is halfway developed and there is no way out. If he cannot successfully develop it, he will lose a huge sum of money and will really go bankrupt.
Su Yi then asked: "What is the ratio of the game's R&D funds to the studio's funds?"
Zhou Ming thought for a moment and said, "About 1300 million. We are currently working on our first plan. We want to start with linear content, and then move on to the open world after the IP is operational. The map I sent you before is not yet complete, and it will take a long time to operate."
"There are only a few of us here. We have a branch studio that's a bit bigger than this one. It's mainly responsible for handling various basic content, and there are about 20 people there."
13 million sounds like a lot, but it is actually far from enough for game development. Everything must be done step by step. Many popular games on the market cost hundreds of millions of yuan to develop. Their two studios combined have only more than 30 people.
Many things can be reduced as much as possible, there is nothing you can do about it.
After all, no one can expect the first game to become a hit. The best decision is to first establish your own target audience.
"This is indeed the very beginning stage of starting a business..." Su Yi nodded slightly. He now finally understood why these people were always stretched thin in everything they did, and this was based on the money earned from those 18 games.
With more than 30 people developing a game, everyone has to work like a beast of burden, and it's already quite remarkable that they can get the product done.
No wonder everyone has thick dark circles under their eyes, as if they haven’t slept for many days. Now I can completely understand it.
However, the quality of a game cannot be determined by the number of people in the production team and the amount of money. I mentioned a game called Mita that went viral not long ago, and the production team only had two people...
The two grown men took care of everything. For them, more than 1000 million was an astronomical figure and they could not spend it all.
"Mr. Su Yi, how much have you decided to invest? Or how much do you intend to invest? We are currently short of funds, and we hope the minimum amount will be at least 500 million."
Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and made a five sign to him. Although the more the better, giving him 100 million or 200 million would have no effect at all and it would be burned up easily.
He is currently in a rush to meet deadlines, and he still wants to secure some large investments to make the game as satisfying as possible.
Su Yi had played their new game before. As someone who was not very interested in games, even though it was a semi-finished product, he still felt that the character portrayal and gameplay were very good.
Therefore, we were very sincere about this investment.
exactly.
exactly……
I won a little money on some platforms before, not much, just three times the principal. Now I have a little more money in my pocket, and I am very interested in this kind of investment that will see returns soon.
So he also held out a five.
"500 million? Thank you so much!" Zhou Ming's face was full of excitement, and he immediately stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with him.
However, Su Yi shook his head: "I can invest up to 51% absolute controlling stake. If you are interested, we can discuss it in detail."
"And I have connections, I can help you get the game license for Daxia quickly."
Chapter 209 Senior, I was wrong, I was really wrong... (5k)
"Senior, you scared them with just these words. I can't believe it. How could someone rush over to give us money, and even ask for 51% absolute control? This is like selling your own studio."
Feng Tang leaned on the sofa, holding his cheek with one hand and listlessly browsing his mobile phone. With a bit of laziness, he picked up the coffee prepared beside him with his fingers, poured it into his mouth, and savored it lightly.
"Also, aren't you a little too impatient? I thought we should at least understand the specific content of the game, carefully study their planning scheme, as well as future plans and return cycles."
"If we act so straightforwardly, it will easily arouse suspicion."
"There's nothing I can do about it. As someone who does the dubbing myself, I'm very optimistic about this studio." Su Yi flipped through the game information that the studio handed to him, took a deep breath, swiped his fingers on the tablet a few times, and looked at the information on it.
He had naturally considered this matter a long time ago, but there was a very important premise, which was time.
In fact, this time he came out just to take a break from his busy schedule and find a way to earn some extra money. He was very busy himself, and the central government and the military had been urging him to go over and connect with the reserve martial god.
If he hadn't figured out how Qi Xue was doing since that incident, he would have wanted to give this supreme Valkyrie of Da Xia some time to calm down and take it easy.
Otherwise, Li Chengyuan would have spread the news of his return long ago.
According to the current situation.
The Valkyrie didn't come to him immediately. She wasn't the type of person who would hesitate to do things. She was probably there to forgive him.
Su Yi secretly speculated in his heart that after what happened, it would be really awkward for them to meet next time, but it was not his fault, as it was the Valkyrie who insisted on using the divine relic.
"By the way, if they agree later, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll only be responsible for paying you. Remember to do it well. I have other things to do."
He picked up the tablet in his hand and slapped the blonde girl, but this action quickly aroused Maple Sugar's strong dissatisfaction. She raised her eyebrows and tapped her fingers on the tablet twice.
"Senior! Why do you leave everything to me? Suiying still has a lot of things to do. It will take some effort to get those transferred assets back. I'm also very busy. I can only sleep 8 hours a day recently. My skin is about to break out. I still want to look beautiful when I see my mother!"
"???"
"Senior, why are you looking at me like that?" Feng Tang leaned back involuntarily as he was stared at, shivering all over.
Su Yi sat down in the chair next to the girl, pressed his finger on the tablet, and opened the original file, but a hint of impatience appeared on his face: "Isn't eight hours of sleep enough? Do you want to be a model soldier?"
In response, Feng Tang pouted, holding her chin and looking at him angrily: "It's only 8 hours, which is equivalent to sleeping from 10 pm to 6 am..."
Su Yi's eyes turned cold, and his attitude became extremely unfriendly: "What are you talking about to someone who hasn't rested for five or six days? Live and work, this is your mission now, work hard before you burn out and turn into relics."
He paused mid-sentence and then added, "If you want to rest, that's fine. I won't be busy today. I'll let the next things take care of themselves. Don't ask me why I'm delaying them later."
After saying that, he leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and acted as if he was going to stay here today, talk business, eat, drink, chat with young models, and have a good rest.
"Then what are you going to solve..." Fengtang felt a chill on his back instinctively. This attitude made him feel very strange. He had never felt this way before.
Su Yi leaned back in his chair, continuing to look at the information on the tablet in his hand. He said nonchalantly, "Didn't I tell you before? I fought with the vice-chairman of the Humanistic Care Council. The last time we fought, I left a small mark on his body, which was for easy use in the future."
"I was thinking that after we finish discussing things here, I would go and find out about your mother's whereabouts. Since you like sleeping so much, then go ahead and sleep."
"Make sure you get enough sleep and take good rest~~"
He deliberately lowered his voice, raised a maple syrup-like smile at the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to continue flipping through the tablet.
These words made the blonde girl feel uneasy. She stretched out her hand and gently held Su Yi's shoulders. Her fingers were tender and white, and she shook it with a pleading look.
"Senior, why didn't you tell me earlier? We can quickly resolve this. You can go ahead and rest assured. I'll drive the Porsche back to the base, and I guarantee that the rest of the work will be handled to your satisfaction."
She was like a piece of gummy candy stuck to the arm, swaying back and forth in flattering poses.
The attitude changes so much that it's like shaking a slot machine, and the expression on the face changes at a speed far beyond human imagination.
"Oh, that's wrong. You should get some rest. Staying up late is bad for your skin..."
Su Yi seemed a little distressed, he held his forehead with his hand, and began to reflect in his mind:
"I've really put too much pressure on you these past few days. You've become so arrogant, you're not afraid of death or beatings. You even talk back to me and take advantage of me every day. It's time for you to have a good rest."
Feng Tang immediately raised his finger and argued hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter about the skin. In fact, my skin is very good, and it won't be affected by staying up late at all. At most, it will be assimilated."
Su Yi: "Be good, wait until things are over here and go back to bed early. You must be tired."
Feng Tang waved his hands: "I'm not tired, not tired, really not tired at all, I'm full of motivation now."
Su Yi: "Don't be stubborn, I care about you the most. If you are tired, just sleep. Sleep well. Make sure you get 12 hours of adequate sleep a day."
"me……"
Maple syrup was speechless.
Su Yi continued: "Oh, I'm so tired that I can't even speak. It's really too hard~~"
The air also fell into a brief silence.
After a long time, the girl's voice, slightly tinged with tears, was heard:
"Senior, please don't talk like that..."
Feng Tang finally understood what true sarcasm was. He lowered his head timidly, his eyes slightly red, and crystal tears on his long eyelashes.
Just like a little fox trapped in a trap with its lifeline strangled, no matter how cunning it is, it is useless.
"I was wrong, I was wrong... Senior, I won't dare to do that again... I rely on you for Mother's affairs. I will listen to whatever you say..."
Her voice was full of sorrow and resentment, a rare gesture of a little girl. She kept pushing his shoulders with her hands, appearing very vulnerable and lovable.
"Cry? Crying counts as time. If you don't want to do it, just go back to sleep."
Sigma's real man Su Yi would not be moved by a girl's tears, not to mention that he knew very well that Feng Tang was a talented actress whose acting skills were not inferior to his own. Sometimes it was hard to tell whether she was acting or expressing her true feelings.
Maple Sugar lowered his head, his golden hair falling from his cheek and scattering on one side of his face, and he tapped his fingers nervously.
"I was so wrong..."
Just in time.
