The current Lao Bai studio is roughly divided into three parts.

One part is the management and logistics department that keeps the studio basically running, with the smallest number of nine people, including high-level officials like Chen Fengzhi and Zheng Hui. In accordance with the supreme directive of his boss Sun Peng to "create the best working environment", Zheng Hui is preparing to increase the number of people to about 20.

The second part is the production group of "The Old White Heroes", which is currently based on game planning, basically covering the system, values, combat, interface, levels, humanities and plot animation, etc., and there are also leaders of each team. As for the programming department and the art department of the other two departments, each department also has at least three people - once the game officially starts production, these two departments can quickly expand to more than 50 people, and there are a huge number of outsourced personnel waiting for them!

As for the third part, it is the development department of the Jingu game engine!

This game engine, named by Sun Peng with feelings, will be the first game engine specially developed for martial arts games, with a R&D investment of 300 million yuan and a research and development cycle of up to five years! According to Chen Maolin's estimate, it will not be possible to use it until "The Legend of the Old White Heroes 3" at the earliest.

"For the sake of "The Legend of the Old White Heroes 1" and the Jingu engine, Chen Fengzhi almost overturned the entire RPG circle in China!"

In Chen Fengzhi's office, Chen Maolin said with a smile: "Especially the talents in RPG games, almost one-third of the top ones in China have been poached by him!" The game engine department is similar, Lao Chen is not only staring at those in China, but also four people abroad, and he will come to the capital to report after a while. ”

Regardless of his expression or tone, Chen Maolin is obviously very satisfied with his partner.

"Awesome!"

After hearing these words, Sun Peng couldn't help but look at Chen Fengzhi and gave his thumbs up to the other party!

Regarding Sun Peng's praise, Chen Fengzhi just shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "No way, who made the requirements of both of you so high?" If I dig up them and don't manage them well, the pressure will be too great! After all, our boss smashed in real money...... The funds of 400 million have already arrived in the account, right? ”

For this game, Sun Peng paid a lot of price.

Although after Chen Maolin and him had several serious communications, the total investment of "Old White Heroes Turn 1" dropped again and again, and everyone tried their best to save money for the boss, but because of the increase in the design and production of the game engine, Sun Peng will smash in at least 600 to 800 million Huaxia coins in the next three years, and if you want to speed up in the middle, it will be easy to spend more than 1 billion.

After all, Sun Peng's requirements are not low at all, especially the level of international 3A masterpieces on the screen!

So these 400 million are just for them to spend first.

Thinking of the Chinese martial arts or Xianxia RPG games in the previous life, they used tens of millions of dollars to make games and had to buckle the ropes, and that little manpower often led to the game jumping tickets, Sun Peng made up his mind......

Hehe, isn't it just money?

Sun Peng, a local tyrant who has crossed the other world, wants to use actual performance to interpret the correctness of the sentence rich and capricious. Aren't the top Chinese gamers not getting enough money? I've got it here! Don't they want to outsource to large foreign factories all the time? Come to me and be original!

And we don't just talk about feelings, but also about money!

Therefore, Chen Fengzhi, who was accustomed to the company's buckle ropes, when he came to the capital rush and met Lao Bai's studio that made him unbelievable, the first thing he felt was not information and satisfaction, but crazy uneasiness and huge mountain-like pressure!

As a veteran of the Chinese game industry, he knows the state of the industry too well.

Why are gamers so hungry for money?

On the one hand, it is naturally because if you want to make a good game, sufficient investment is essential, after all, everyone knows how much money a 3A masterpiece will have to throw into it; On the other hand, it is also because with the current level and recognition of Chinese games, if you want to make money, you must control the cost, and you must not be blind!

Sometimes, even if a game fails, there will never be a second chance.

Of course, those big factories with strong capital have the strength to try many times, but they rely more on publishing games to make money, such as buying Jiapeng Games' TT games, which is a bit similar to the penguins and pig farms on the earth, and they like to convince people with money......

So Sun Peng's huge investment really made Chen Fengzhi Alexander.

Seriously, he'd never seen such a generous boss.

Even Chen Maolin, who came back from the UK, felt the same way, nodded and exclaimed: "That's right, to be honest, my pressure is not less than that of Lao Chen, after all, for any game person, the uncapped game production fee is of course unwanted, but it will also bring huge pressure." ”

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated!"

After listening to the words of the two, Sun Peng laughed and said, "Didn't we all talk about it last time?" The first work of "The Legend of the Old White Heroes" only needs to be qualified! The important thing now is to accumulate experience while waiting for the technology and martial arts RPG concept to mature...... Believe me, even if I have to wait until the third part, I don't have any opinion! ”

Just kidding, but it's only been five years.

As a senior waiter party, the last thing Sun Peng is afraid of is a long time. I think that since he was in college, he has been waiting for a domestic 3A masterpiece for more than ten years, and he has been waiting until he crosses over......

……

In fact, there are not many problems that Lao Bai Studio needs Sun Peng's participation in now.

The key is that he doesn't understand the game engine or anything, and "The Legend of the Old White Heroes" is still in its infancy, and everyone has just confirmed the most basic things such as the game engine and painting style, and even the plot and setting of the game have not been discussed.

So after a brief understanding of the situation, Sun Peng left with some regret.

"I don't know, can we start doing it at the end of October as planned!"

With a stomach full of anticipation, Sun Peng did not go home directly, but went directly to the dream factory, which was not too far away, and then rushed directly to Senior Sister Qingqing's office as soon as he entered the door: "Senior sister, I heard that "Mulan" has been completed? Where's the finished film? Can you watch it now? ”

"Huh? Who told you it was done? ”

After seeing Sun Peng, he was quite surprised, but the people quickly turned pale and rolled their eyes and asked. But even if she had a strained face, Sun Peng could still see the obvious smile in those two eyes.

"None? So who calls me ......"

"I called you, and I just said that it was almost done!"

At this time, Chen Muchen, who heard the voice, said with a smile: "Boss Sun, the key is your soundtrack and songs!" So far, everyone has only one rough sample, when will we get the final version? ”

"Hoo ......"

Seeing Chen Muchen's appearance, Sun Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief: seeing the relaxed and happy appearance of the two, Sun Peng knew that this "Mulan" should be stable, and it was likely that the effect exceeded the original goal......
