The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 358 355. What is this?

After the boss left, Cao Yang and Liu Zhiping discussed together. In fact, letting the country in is a great thing.

  Carefully ponder what the boss said today, maybe the above may really have concerns about the safety of Bomi.

  For the country, people simply look down on your company. It is a good thing for the country to make money for the company.

  Data security, information security...These are more important than the company’s capital.

So today the boss came to speak, on the one hand, to let Cao Yang know that you are ours, and tell him that the country attaches great importance to semiconductors and lithography machines. The mobile phone chips and smartphone-related technologies developed by Bomi are important to the country. Said it is more important.

  The news released at the same time is that, no matter what, the state’s participation in a share is to maintain stability.

   is a good thing for the company and the country.

  Bomi Company is not bad for money, and the country is not bad for money.

  So Cao Yang discussed with Liu Zhiping over, and left the rest to Liu Zhiping to prepare for the listing.

  The only regret is that I have to prepare information and arraignment again. I don’t know if the time will be delayed or accelerated.

  ……

  On the next day, Liu Zhiping approached Ding Wenwu, president of the National Big Fund, and discussed with him about the state’s shareholding.

According to Bomi’s listing plan, the valuation is still based on 100 billion U.S. dollars, and then shareholders will dilute 50% and issue an additional 100 billion. Of this 100 billion, 10%, or 20 billion U.S. dollars, will be issued to the country. Large funds are purchased by the state.

  Then the National Big Fund became one of the shareholders and partners of Bomi.

There will still be 10% of the remaining part, that is, 20 billion is used as an employee incentive pool. A part of the options will be issued according to the employees’ contribution to Bomi, and at the same time, Bomi’s employees will be issued from this at the issue price. The right to buy stocks out of 10%.

  In other words, the amount originally planned by Bomi to raise funds from the society has been reduced from 80 billion US dollars to 60 billion US dollars.

  Because of the state’s shareholding, in fact, the funds raised by the company have not decreased.

  On the contrary, because the country has the bottom line, it can increase the confidence of the market.

  This is a great thing for Bomi.

  The only trouble is--

  If the company has a background of state-owned assets, it will not be convenient to develop business in the Omi region in the future.

  But this thing is also linked to interest. If people want to make you, they can find any excuses.

  If others need you, they can enter even if they have a background of state-owned assets.

  ……

  After finishing this, Liu Zhiping hurriedly convened a meeting with the underwriters, re-drew the prospectus and related materials, and submitted it to the relevant departments for review again.

  ……

  Unknowingly, time has entered mid-April.

   During this period, Cao Yang and Liu Zhiping were very busy.

  It was hard to finish the matter, and Cao Yang only got a chance to breathe.

  But before the **** was hot, Li Lanyun came and asked him to go to the meeting.

   "Huh? What meeting?" Cao Yang asked him strangely.

   "I sent you an email," Li Lanyun said, "The plot meeting of "The Assassin's Soul: Mo Xue"."

   "Oh, yes." Cao Yang remembered now.

  He asked Li Lanyun before, if the plot of the Assassin’s Soul is finalized, be sure to take a look at him to ensure that there is no problem with the plot.

  It’s just that Cao Yang hasn’t had time since this time is too busy.

  He turned on the computer and took a look, and found that there were a lot of emails in his mailbox.

  There are many meetings to be held today.

   "Okay, you go first, I will come in 5 minutes."

  ……

  This meeting mainly focused on the plot of the Assassin’s Soul·Moshu.

  The main copywriter Zhang Xiaoxuan is a sweet-looking sister, who is also Ai Xiaomi’s younger sister, who graduated from Nortel’s Department of Choreography.

  Because of his outstanding ability in scripting when he was in college, Ai Xiaomi dug over him.

   is now the main copywriter of Assassin’s Soul.

  The story of Moyu is the story that Zhang Xiaoxuan unfolded after following the previous maple. There is a certain relationship between the era and the setting of the background. While complementing the Assassin’s Soul Maple, it mainly tells the story of Moyu.

Cao Yang was not very satisfied with the previous revisions.

   Zhang Xiaoxuan even cried for this reason.

  She ran to the main person in charge of the King of Glory next door, Nortel’s senior sister, Lai Yuling, crying about this matter. She also said that Boss Cao was too demanding, and she was simply a devil. When this went on, she was going to resign and leave.

  But Lai Yuling persuaded her, "You don't know the boss, you get used to it if you are abused by him too much."

   Thinking of this, Lai Yuling's face showed a painful expression.

  ……

  Later, after Zhang Xiaoxuan was beaten back by Cao Yang for four or five versions, it is now relatively calm.

  Today, as always, she is ready to be beaten back by Boss Cao.

  The entire conference process lasted for more than two hours.

  Zhang Xiaoxuan told the whole story and the character setting according to the content on the PPT.

  The meeting room was surprisingly quiet, and everyone was looking at Cao Yang.

  If it weren’t because Boss Cao’s requirements were too high, the game would already be in the development process.

  Cao Yang lowered his head, thinking silently.

  The premonition of everyone is not very good.

  Zhang Xiaoxuan sighed silently in her heart.

**** it.

   is the process of being beaten back again.

  She feels that her creativity will be exhausted by Boss Cao. She thinks that when she was at Nortel back then, she was so creative in writing scripts. Many students thought that she could become a great director in the future.

  If Ai Xiaomin hadn't dug her over, maybe she is now a screenwriter in a certain film and television company.

or……

  Should I apply to the boss and transfer myself to Ai Xiaomi’s side. Anyway, Bomi Pictures is also shooting a film. Why not give her a chance to make a film?

   Just when everyone held their breath and had already recognized Zhang Xiaoxuan’s failure...

   There was a lonely applause on the field.

  Everyone raised their heads in horror and looked at the young man applauding.

  Cao Yang, the boss of Bomi Company, applauded Zhang Xiaoxuan.

   "Well, a good script." Cao Yang gave encouragement.

  Fuck!

  Everyone was so excited that they almost didn't jump out of their chairs.

  You can see how excited they are now from their strong palms resting on the table.

  Zhang Xiaoxuan covered her mouth with her hand, with an urge to cry.

  She once thought that she would never be able to wait for Boss Cao’s words in her entire life.

  Now that Assassin’s Soul Moyu has developed many functions, we are waiting for a good script...

  This delay took a few months. If you switch to other projects, it is estimated that the project progress will be half of the time.

  Unexpectedly, I could hear the words Zhang Xiaoxuan dreamed of from Cao Yang’s mouth today. How can this not be touching?

"Okay, let's develop it according to this script." Cao Yang stood up from his chair and said to Liang Muzhou, the chief planner of "Assassin's Soul: Moyu", "Remember to find a good voice actor. For the soundtrack, please look for Yang Junrong and the others. , Just to add some experience to the company’s game music department."

   "Hmm." Liang Muzhou quickly stood up and promised to boss Cao, "We must find the best voice-over staff. Make sure to do the game well."

  For fear that he would be too late to agree, Boss Cao suddenly remembered the flaws in the plot and wanted to change it again.

   Boss Cao is wealthy now, so he doesn’t care how long the game is delayed, but if he drags on like this, the morale of the team will be gone.

and……

  Liang Muzhou felt that Zhang Xiaoxuan would definitely collapse if he was beaten back twice.

  Who will coax if you cry?

  Isn’t he always come to coax me?

   Boss Cao just beats the crying people, and doesn't clean up the stall behind him.

  Liang Muzhou felt very tired.

  ……

  Now that the script has been finalized, the subsequent "Assassin's Soul: Moyu" can officially enter the plot production part.

  This is a good thing for the team and the company.

   But Cao Yang also understood from this point-

  It is not easy to make a 3A masterpiece, and it is even more difficult to make a sequel to a 3A masterpiece.

  Sometimes I want to break through the previous game, but it is actually quite difficult. It is not just a matter of time and money, it may really require a little luck.

  ……

  After the meeting of "Assassin's Soul: Mo Chu", Cao Yang immediately moved to the next one, which is the post-production meeting of "God of War: Wukong".

  Now the completion of "God of War: Wukong" is relatively high.

  What the Wukong team wants to demonstrate to Cao Yang this time is the current sense of shock in the game. Let’s see how Cao Yang feels and if there is any room for improvement.

   Regarding the sense of blow, the team has made a lot of improvements.

  In order to make the golden hoop stick a good hit, the team also specially went to countless performers to record the performance of the metal stick, at least in the action is very in place.

  It can be seen that the monkey in the picture is really martial arts style when using the stick.

  The smoothness and good-looking of the action have improved a lot, which means that some basic content of the game itself has been solved.

  Like the previous Assassin’s Soul, it gives people a better sense of blow. One of the most important reasons is that the protagonist’s movements are unusually smooth, giving you the feeling of being a master and king of assassins.

  The foundation is well laid, and we can talk about other things later.

  Metal sticks are at least much better than wooden sticks, at least they can give you a different experience in terms of material and weight.

  Metal makes you feel heavy and can kill people with a stick. The wooden stick gives you the feeling that it hurts the most after you draw it.

  Then the team mainly made several improvements based on the metal rod:

  The first is physical collision.

  For example, the material of the stick itself is relatively metallic, so different effects need to be stimulated when confronting different weapons.

Now Bomi’s X2.5 engine can support very powerful physical functions, which means that when your golden hoop hits the opponent’s weapon, it can produce splash sparks on the corresponding part to highlight the effect of the strike. .

  If you hit a stone, the sound will be a little dull.

  The second is to be attacked.

  The performance of being hit has a certain degree of overlap with the physical collision, but the planning team made a certain degree of distinction during the research. The performance of being hit here mainly refers to the performance effect of the golden hoop hitting the monster.

  The improvement of these performance effects is also due to the previous development of the game "Gun Girl" by Bomi.

  Among the firearm girls, the performance of being attacked is quite good.

  After the bullet is hit, whether the player is hit or the opponent is hit, the expressiveness can definitely make you feel the pain from the outside of the screen.

  And those non-living bodies, not to mention, directly destroy various parts, and explode at every turn.

  Among Gungirls, not only can different attacked units perform differently according to different weapons and ballistics and different hitting parts, even a large part of this performance is applied to physical real-time calculation effects.

  Part of these performances is done by art, and part is that art only makes models and bones, and then gives corresponding real feedback through physical calculations.

For example, when a bullet is shot into a robotic arm composed of multiple irregularly shaped models, the bullet itself will give an impulse, and then explode to form an impulse, and then each part will have its own corresponding mass. According to the principle of conservation of kinetic energy, they will do a comprehensive calculation in the direction of force to produce the corresponding effect.

   looks like a momentary event, but in the middle it may have been calculated hundreds or even tens of thousands of times.

  Now "God of War" also borrows this to a certain extent. When hitting a specific part of a specific monster, it can produce a certain physical effect——

For example, a white ape, when his arm is interrupted by Wukong, it will drag the broken arm to fight during the subsequent battle, and the broken arm itself follows the physical effect, so you will Seeing a real feedback-

The moment    was interrupted, the flesh and blood broke apart and the bones broke.

   Then there is continuous feedback——

  The broken arm of the white ape keeps shaking in front of your eyes.

  This can also be regarded as an innovative attempt by "God of War: Wukong" in terms of expressiveness.

  There are also several common methods that are most frequently used in action games——

  The monster is stiff, knocked back, falling to the ground, floating in the air... these are all things that can reflect the sense of blow.

  Third, the execution effect is to be done.

  In the Assassin’s Soul, when the opponent’s yellow bar is full, you can solve the opponent by one hit.

  The method of execution of an assassin is basically to pierce the deadly part with a short sword, and at the same time, it can pull out a piece of blood, so that you can truly feel the death effect of the opponent.

  And if the stick has to do the same execution feedback——

  The first thing to do is to hit the deadly part.

  For example, head, heart...

  If you want the execution effect to be strong enough, then you can produce smashing, lazy truncation... all kinds of effects.

  Because the stick is not the same as the sharp assassin's blade, it can't give you a sharp piercing feeling like a dagger, so it can only use the stick's strengths, that is, strength and tail strength.

  Then the source of the sense of destruction will not come from the monster's interior, it can only be destroyed from the outside to generate enough refreshment.

  So smash it, split it...this is the correct way to express the stick.

  The fourth is to strike a sense of rhythm.

  There is nothing to say about this thing, and planners need to keep trying and adjusting.

The soul of the assassin is also polished in this way. The strike and rhythm need to be tried over and over again. For example, in the soul of the assassin, in the battle against Jing Ke, Feng was completely a close fight of the two assassins through the continuous swords and swords. Collision, adapt to the opponent's attack rhythm, to produce a strong enough combat effect.

  So the soul of the assassin is also called the iron game by the players.

  To sum up, it is one point-

  Through feedback, especially real and exaggerated feedback effects to create a sense of blow.

  It is best not to use special effects to achieve this. In that case, the sense of shock will be greatly reduced immediately.

For example, when the opponent hits you, a light mask appears on your body, and then you block this. The effect is far less than if you directly block it with a stick and then shoot sparks at the moment of blocking, sending out a crisp and sweet sound. The more shocking.

  Many game manufacturers in China, in order to save time and expenses, they often use special effects to do action games, and it is easier for players to use similar skills in the Golden Bell.

  But in a real battle, you have to take these things away.

You will find that even in the foreign "God of War" series, Kui Ye killed the gods by hand-to-hand combat, instead of using mysterious special effects to do this. That way, a lot of the essence of action games is missing. , And lost too much expressiveness.

  But the special effects are not completely useless...

  For example, a trailing effect is produced at the end of the stick, and a certain amount of motion blur can increase the sense of strike.

  Especially when fighting at night, the light trailing on the golden hoop and the fan-shaped effect of sweeping will make you feel very cool.

  ……

  At the same time, the attack feedback must be strong enough.

  For example, the bottles and cans on the field will crack and break when they are swept by a stick. This effect will be achieved.

  The golden cudgel hits the opponent, what should be broken will be broken, what should be broken will be broken...

  This will give you a very strong blow.

  ……

  When the main planner Xiong Shaonian completed the battle demonstration part of the entire "God of War: Wukong" in the conference room, everyone fell silent.

  Everyone looked back at Cao Yang, not knowing how he reacted.

   "Well, it's pretty good," Cao Yang held his hands, "after that, I only need to tune the sound effects."

"The sound of metal collision just now was not enough. I always felt that something was missing," Cao Yang said. "You just find someone to build a golden hoop that is exactly the same as the one in the game, and then try to find something with different materials. You will know where the problem is.

  The best way is to practice it. If it doesn’t work, find a powerful martial arts master to record. I need to hear the most realistic sound effects in different hitting powers and states. "

  For example, if a metal club hits a sword, the sound should be crisp.

  If you hit a stone, it will be a little dull.

  If it is rubbed on the ground with a stick, there will be a very harsh sliding sound.

  Emit different sound effects on different materials. This function has been implemented in Assassin’s Soul before, just use it.

  The program is actually very simple, only need to detect the corresponding sound effect of the corresponding material, divide several grades in the judgment interval, and play different sounds separately.

  The problem is that there must be a suitable recording.

   "Hmm... Okay." Xiong Shaonian said.

  You don’t know that there are many kinds of sticks you want to build. Aluminum alloy is definitely not good. Then if it is made of pure iron, it must have a weight of tens of kilograms?

  It’s weird to be able to dance.

  Xiong Shaonian frowned, to see if he could contact some manufacturing shops later to build a one that weighs ten kilos and see how effective it is.

  ……

  "Anything else to discuss?" Cao Yang asked Li Lanyun.

  "Not anymore." Li Lanyun is very satisfied with today's results. At least the two major problems of Assassin's Soul and Wukong have been solved, and they can be affirmed by the boss.

  According to the current progress, "God of War: Wukong" will be able to be accepted soon.

  This is another large sum of money, and if "God of War: Wukong" can do well, it can also promote a wave of Chinese Journey to the West abroad.

  Don’t let people think that Journey to the West is from the East Island.

"Oh right," Li Lanyun suddenly remembered something and said to Cao Yang, "We have contacted Neople in Cold Country before, and they agreed to let us become DNF, which is the online game Dungeon and Warriors in China. Agents.

  We are still negotiating the specific details, mainly about the share ratio and copyright.

  Other problems are not big.

  It is expected that the agent will be won within the next month, and then enough servers will be installed to operate. "

   "Well, it's good." Cao Yang nodded, indicating that he already knew.

  When it comes to servers, Cao Yang is a little bit big.

Although Bomi is making a lot of money now, a lot of resources on the servers are wasted. Now Cao Yang very much hopes that Liu Guangran and they will get cloud computing out soon, and then there is no need to buy so many servers for Bomi. .

  And after DNF got the agency right, it soon had to recruit a large number of customer service ladies.

  This is also an expense.

  Now Bomi’s customer service team has thousands of people.

  It's a bit exaggerated, and the number of customer service teams is still expanding.

  ……

  Penguin’s three PC-side money-making games in previous life——

  LOL

  DNF

  Cross the line of fire

  If you can talk about DNF now, you have completed 1/3, and the remaining LOL Cao Yang is still going to do it himself, but it is another matter to call LOL.

  As for crossing the line of fire, Cao Yang has checked this game, and now the CF of the stick country has not been developed.

  Cao Yang doesn’t know when he will be out, so he can only say to keep paying attention first.

  He is now considering whether to make one by himself.

  In fact, using the foundation of "Gun Girls" directly, it is also very fast to do, and if Bomi Company does it, the effect will be better than that of Bangziguo.

  ……

  Cao Yang first recorded the problem, and then prepared to observe for a period of time before making a decision.

After returning to his office, Cao Yang finally took a breath.

  It feels really not easy.

  Today can solve two major problems, I believe that the future Assassin series and God of War series can achieve good results.

  Li Lanyun’s problem was solved. In the afternoon, Xiao Ma called again.

   "What's wrong with Brother Ma?" Cao Yang asked.

   "Mr. Cao, look at the file I sent you." Xiao Ma said.

  Cao Yang turned on the computer and found that Xiao Ma had sent a video to his QQ.

  After opening the video, a foreigner appeared in it.

  Brother looks a bit of Chinese descent, but the content of the broadcast clearly shows that it is in the United States.

  In the video, the little brother said, “I’m going to take a shower and go on a date with a hot girl.”

  "Are you looking forward to the same as me?"

  So he picked up a bath towel from the side, took off half of his clothes, and walked into the bathroom. The next process was not clear.

   "What is this?" Cao Yang asked, "Did you send me the video from the tubing?"

  But this tubing video is too boring, right?

   is to play a real bath?

  Little Ma said on the other end of the phone, "This is a video I recorded with a screen recording software, but what I want to show you is—

  The people in this video are live broadcast in real time.

  He is broadcasting live on a website called Justin.tv.

  Live the content of your life to the audience in real time, and you can interact through the chat content sent by the other party. "

  "Huh? Live broadcast website?" Cao Yang asked with some confusion.

  "Our research here believes that the live broadcast platform can bring a lot of traffic, and maybe it will become a very popular network application in the future, so we want to ask your opinion to see if we want to build a live broadcast website, or live broadcast software or something.

  Mr. Cao, you can check the email, we have sent you the detailed live broadcast software plan. "

"this……"

  Cao Yang quickly clicked on his mailbox, and he found an email from Brother Xiao Ma in it.

  An attachment PDF is added to the email.

After Cao Yang opened it, he found that there were more than 300 pages of content inside.

From analyzing the status quo of the live broadcast website, the application market related to the live broadcast software, as well as the future development trend, future market analysis, the workload and cost of Bomi to make a live broadcast software, as well as Bomi's live software design framework ...

   has been explained quite clearly, and there is even a corresponding UI design in this PDF.

"this……"

  Cao Yang didn't know what to say to Brother Xiao Ma and the others for a while.

  ……

  The live broadcast platform of the past life can be traced back to YY Voice.

World of Warcraft has become a popular online game for many young people in the inland. It has a special dungeon system; in simple terms, this "dungeon system" is "team up for advanced equipment", and the number of people in the team is often as high as 25 -40 people. If there are too many people, there will be a problem: if there is no command, it will be difficult to cooperate! Ever since, the insightful "YY Voice" took the lead in launching a communication system with clear voice quality and stable network services.

  At this time, YY found a habit of the players: they would sing and chat to ease the mood during the game.

  After all, it’s normal to have a voice when you’re tired from playing games.

  There are also many sisters who play World of Warcraft directly for everyone in the voice channel, which is equivalent to adding buff to the team.

  After discovering this user behavior, YY Voice launched a high-quality singing room for players to use, and the birth of YY Voice was the earliest prototype of the domestic live broadcast industry...

  By 2011.

  Because of the popularity of League of Legends, it directly promotes the development of the entire live broadcast industry, because a major habit of gamers is to watch other players' live broadcasts. In 2012, YY Live launched the first plug-in that supports e-sports live broadcast. In the following years, a large number of live broadcast platforms have sprung up: Douyu TV-renamed from Acfun's live sharing website "Sheng Broadcasting" Established.

  Betta therefore became the earliest and largest mature live broadcast platform.

  Huya appeared two years later-it was renamed and established by YY Live Broadcast in 2014, but in fact, YY launched similar functions earlier than Douyu.

  In the future, various live broadcast platforms have sprung up.

  There is no YY in this life, because QQ has built-in voice function for World of Warcraft. QQ now has a very powerful integrated function, not only can carry out multi-person voice, but also can carry out multi-person video.

  As long as network conditions allow.

  These technologies are not very difficult, mainly because there is no demand. In order to cater to World of Warcraft in this life, Boss Cao let Penguin develop the corresponding functions early, so there is no YY.

  Previous live broadcast platforms are very popular. For capital, as long as there is traffic, there is money.

  Weiya’s live broadcast can directly bring tens of billions of goods a year, and the income will be several billion. Wei Ya alone is the income of a large online game.

  Xiao Tuan Tuan, Baby Xu Xu, Lu Benwei, Da Sima, Da Meier...

  These big anchors can make a lot of money.

  For the platform, the platform does not make money.

  In order to retain big anchors, platforms often not only don’t charge fees from their live broadcast revenues, but can provide free services. Some live broadcast platforms even dig out anchors in order to compete in the market and even pay for them.

  But the cost of the platform is a pain to the naked eye. Douyu’s annual bandwidth cost is as high as one billion yuan, and Douyu basically loses money year after year, and finally has to rely on Penguin to buy shares.

  However, Penguin later violated the anti-monopoly law because it wanted to merge Douyu and Huya and was forced to cancel it.

  To be honest, Cao Yang himself has no idea of ​​live broadcast.

   Ke Xiao Ma’s team actually took the lead in mentioning it.

  This shows that the QQ department actually cares about its own business expansion, and they are very keen, and can directly find the huge traffic that the live broadcast platform can bring in the future from the live broadcast videos abroad.

  At least from the point of view of Brother Xiao Ma——

  A live broadcast website or live broadcast software may become the next QQ, bringing huge traffic to the company.

  He is quite experienced in this. That's why the Xiao Ma team is so actively doing this.

  It can be seen from the report they gave.

  In fact, wanting to do things is a good thing, which shows that they have a lot of ideas and initiative.

  It is reasonable to say that Cao Yang should not refuse, mainly because the refusal will dampen their enthusiasm.

  However, after careful consideration, he still felt that he should not be a live broadcast platform at this time.

  Too much money, and for a long time in the future, the value that can be played is very limited.

  Unless you are a live broadcast platform, you can get the big anchors, so that they will not change jobs, will not lower prices with the platform, the platform can still get the corresponding commission from them, so there is still a glimmer of hope for profit.

  However, the premise for all of this is that the Bomi live broadcast platform needs to have sufficient voice and platform advantages.

Cao Yang was silent for a long time before calling Xiao Ma.

   "I have read the report you sent, and the project itself is still very promising." Cao Yang said.

  The little Ma brother over there heard the words of Boss Cao, and there were mixed feelings in his heart, and he was particularly afraid that he would have a sentence below [but]

   "But," Cao Yang said, "I don't want to do this before the company's cloud computing is released. The main reason is that the cost is too high. For servers and bandwidth, the annual cost of burning is estimated to be several times that of QQ.

  As for the profitability of live broadcast software, I am skeptical. As for how much revenue it brings, it is another unknown.

  So I don’t recommend making live broadcast software. "

  ……
