Chapter 109 Mr. Lu is Confused!

In Director Xie's office, the bracelet alerts kept ringing.

"Old Xie, congratulations!"

"Is "Learning the Sea Boundless" made by your project? It's so awesome. Judging by the popularity, it is estimated that this month's bonus will not be less? Remember to treat me to dinner some other day!"

"Hey, thank you, didn't you say last time that your project was not valued very much within Guangyi Interactive Entertainment? I can't see that you would lie if you are honest. This is buying a variety show title and advertising, publicity Funding must be indispensable, and this is not taken seriously?"

"Hurry up and share your successful experiences!"

……

This morning, Director Xie’s bracelet was not safe. His group of friends in and out of the industry were either calling or sending messages. In short, I heard that "Xuehai Wuya" was his project. Afterwards, everyone was very happy, some asked him to invite him to dinner, and some asked him to share his experience, all of them congratulated.

After all, the second season of "Xuehai Wuya" and "Best Debater" are two hot spots that have exploded recently, and these two hot spots are still related. As the project director and nominal producer of "Xuehai Wuya" Man, of course Lao Xie is going to become popular in Moments.

However, Director Xie suddenly felt a burst of fear.

Because the halo effect of "You're right" has gradually dissipated!

The effect of this halo can only last for two weeks. Basically, during the entire research and development stage, the entire project has never raised any doubts about "Learning the Sea of ​​​​Boundless", including Mr. Lu, and the publicity funds are also very high. smoothly.

Of course there is the role of Zhongming's lobbying, but the effect of the halo is also essential.

Now that the effect of the halo is gradually fading, Director Xie thinks about what happened in the past week or so, and feels incredible.

I actually took the whole team to develop a game that has not been approved? ?
And even went to ask for 300 million publicity funds, desperately promoting this game? ?
The key is Mr. Lu really gave it!
Director Xie poured tea to calm down.

Although these things happened for real, he always felt so unreal, and even he himself couldn't explain why he was so firm in thinking that "Xue Hai Wu Bai" would be a success...

Supervisor Xie refreshed the background data over and over again, and after seeing that all the active data were excellent, he was a little relieved.

Fortunately, the game has been promoted, if it is not promoted, then this matter will be serious!
But Supervisor Xie also knew that it was too early to be happy.

The number of active players is one aspect, and the monetization ability of the game is also one aspect!

If there are only a lot of people playing, but there is no way to make a profit, then there is still a problem with this project.After all, 300 million yuan was spent on publicity, how can we find a way to earn back the 300 million yuan?
With the current situation of "Xuehai Wuya", it is difficult to earn back the 300 million.

Because judging from the current data, the per capita payment is less than one yuan, only a few cents!Those experience cards, free answer cards and other things sold in the game are basically not bought by anyone, and these things are sold so cheaply that even if someone buys them, they will not bring much income.

Director Xie felt like he had lost his memory. He obviously thought that the game "Xuehai Wuya" was fine yesterday. Why didn't he think about the problem of making money yesterday?
"At the meeting, Xiao Zhong seemed to have talked about how to make a profit... Uh, how did he talk about it?"

Supervisor Xie felt that his mind was blank, and it seemed that his memory had really deteriorated, so he hurried to look through the design document written by Zhong Ming.

……

The 45th floor of Light Wing Interactive Entertainment.

Lu Zhiqi is busy in the office. He was on a business trip before, and now the business negotiations over there are over. He just came back two days ago, so he has a backlog of work and is processing it.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Yu asked you to go to his office."

"Oh? Okay, I'll go right away."

Lu Zhiqi put down the work at hand for a while, got up and went to the highest floor of the Light Wing Interactive Entertainment Building, the CEO's office.

The president Yu the assistant mentioned was Yu Kangyu, the president of Brilliance Interactive Entertainment, and he was considered the biggest boss.

The president's office occupies the entire top floor of the Light Wing Interactive Entertainment Building. Behind the general desk is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, from which one can have a panoramic view of the night view of the entire Ming'an City.Lu Zhiqi knocked on the door and entered, and sat down on the chair opposite the general desk.

Mr. Yu didn't say any polite words, and asked straight to the point: "What's the matter with "The Boundless Learning Sea"?"

Seeing Mr. Yu's expression, Lu Zhiqi was a little unhappy, and he was still a little puzzled: "What's wrong with "The Boundless Learning Sea"?"

Mr. Yu was very angry: "I'm just asking you this question! Many people called me and sent me messages this morning, saying congratulations on making another game with the potential to be a blockbuster, which confused me! I I also checked it out, and our company has never approved this project, so what's going on here??"

"Uh……"

Lu Zhiqi frowned, feeling that the name "Xuehai Wuya" was so familiar, where did I hear it...

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhiqi suddenly realized that this seemed to be the project that Director Xie asked to make at that time!And at that time, Supervisor Xie took the initiative to find him and allocated 300 million publicity funds.

Wait, 300 million publicity funds? !

Lu Zhiqi suddenly felt a little dizzy, I actually allocated 300 million publicity funds for this project? !
Director Xie's halo effect is over, and Mr. Lu's halo effect is about to pass, so Lu Zhiqi's trust in "The Boundless Learning Sea" is not so strong now, and all kinds of doubts, bewilderment, and questioning emotions flooded his heart.

Mr. Yu continued: "I was very curious, so I asked someone to check it out, and it turned out that this was a project developed by a director without permission? And what shocked me the most was that you actually allocated him promotional funds?? ??"

As soon as Lu Zhiqi recalled, yes, not only did he give publicity funds, but he also gave 300 million yuan...

It's strange, why did it come to me at the time...

Lu Zhiqi is also in a daze now, he can remember that he did allocate publicity funds for this project before, but why did he allocate it... he can't remember!

I just remember that Lao Xie came to the office with Zhong Ming, the intern who was promoted out of the ordinary, and said something that resonated particularly well. At that time, I felt that what they said was too right. And it was an explosion, so the funds were allocated.

But looking back now, that memory was indeed a bit false, and why was he so sure and convinced at that time?Lu Zhiqi himself couldn't remember...

It stands to reason that this money cannot be given, not only cannot it be given, even this project should not be approved for development!

Because according to the company's regulations, the development of each project has to go through a series of processes such as inspection, evaluation, and project approval. Otherwise, the supervisors will lead their subordinates to do this today and the next tomorrow. Wouldn't it be completely messed up?

In principle, this kind of privately developed project should not only not be given any funds, but should even be stopped directly, because the employees do not belong to the supervisor, but to the company.The supervisor is equivalent to using the company's employees to do his own private work, is that okay?

Lu Zhiqi feels a bit overwhelmed. The best excuse now is that he didn't know about it, but the problem is that the publicity funds have already been allocated, so it's not appropriate to say that he didn't know about it...

Lu Zhiqi asked: "Then... President Yu, how is the current data of this game?"
