American Fortune Life
Chapter 186: New book and new team
On October 16, 2006, New York, the weather was fine, the temperature dropped slightly, and a sense of autumn came quietly.
Andy ate breakfast and looked at today's newspaper. Sure enough, I saw that several newspapers were deliberately or unintentionally commenting on the "rabbit". It was still the same old tune, what threatened it, what it was. (Anyway everyone understands, little devil will not say more!)
The newspaper was slammed by Andy. After all, the "New York Observer" is a weekly magazine, and cannot be published every day like these daily newspapers. However, the contents of this weekly magazine may make these newspapers that discredit rabbits scandalous. At that time, there was really a good show.
After eating breakfast, I went back to my room and watched the time. San Francisco was three hours behind New York, so Andy had to find something to do first, waiting for the gaming company to work before he could hold a video conference.
Sitting in front of the computer, I opened my novel folder, and after thinking for a while, I finally decided to continue to write the second part of "Dark Fairy", this time the selected story is the "Alice in Wonderland" series and "Frozen", Andy wants to completely kill Disney. Who made Disney too aggressive? After the acquisition of Marvel, every movie industry conference held is a blast and told the media that they can earn money casually. 670 billion, who do not pit it.
Of course, Andy will certainly not miss Sony Columbia, a few excellent films in the future. He wrote the outline early and threw it into the warehouse of the screenwriter's union. His bad behavior can hardly be seen directly. , No way, who let the company be a little devil.
In fact, this is also Andy's self-consolation. Since Sony bought MGM for $ 4.8 billion last year, Sony Columbia has basically begun to surround the "007" series and the "Spider-Man" that has been lingering. The series was produced, and several scripts that Andy carried had no effect on it at all. Especially after 2008, such a large movie company began to reduce production. In 2011, only one movie was produced.
It can be seen that Hollywood, which is so much publicized by the media, is slowly declining and is not empty.
So, Andy wants to come, as long as he sells these IPs in his own hands, maybe "Andy Smith Year" will appear in Hollywood in the future, and many of his films will be released throughout the year. By then, the value of his works will definitely be extremely high. Great promotion.
At about 11 o'clock, Andy woke up from the super-god state and rubbed the sun which was a little swollen. This state is really easy for transcription and transportation, but it is also very detrimental to the spirit. After a bit of cold coffee, I rubbed my face hard, stood up and moved a few stiff bodies, opened the video software, and started calling the account of the game company.
The video was quickly connected, and Andy appeared on the computer screen of the gaming company. There were not many people at the meeting, CEO Blair and the main members of the three development teams, as well as the heads of the marketing and finance departments.
The first item after the meeting was the work report of each department and the three development groups. Andy listened very carefully. Although he did n’t have any company management experience before, but after months of learning and adaptation, he is now At least it's the last qualified boss.
Of course, in Andy's mind, for the management company, it is still left to professional people to do, he only needs to use good talents and determine the general direction.
When Toby's "Under the Legend" development team reported, Andy carefully observed a young man sitting behind Toby, with blond hair and many freckles in the middle, but his eyes were very bright. .
This should be the newcomer Desiree.
All the work of the game company is developing in an orderly manner. Andy is very satisfied. After everyone has finished reporting, Andy coughs and said seriously: "Today we called everyone apart from understanding the company's various The main thing about the progress of this work is that I have a new game plan ... "
In the conference room, all three members of the game development team looked eagerly to watch Andy's game sketches constantly displayed on the computer screen, listening to the big boss's game plan, all of them faced admiration.
A "Minecraft" has almost become a cash cow who laughs at the bird game company. Rijin has a bit of money to describe its speed of making money. According to people in the marketing department, it is now fully available in Europe, and there will be another sales volume. Explosive growth.
Now the company comes up and down envious of Bill ’s development team, and has set its sights on “Zombies”, which has entered the final stage of development. Internal employees have installed this game for trial play on almost every computer, which is fascinating. .
Now the big boss has come up with a new idea. Although there is no difficulty in design and development, after listening to the boss's introduction, an individual's face shows an excited expression. Stealing vegetables is indeed an unparalleled idea, at least They IT enthusiasts like this idea very much.
"So ... The leader of the" Happy Farm "development team will choose from the members of your three game teams. You should also know that the company has recently recruited many new employees. Although it seems a bit bloated, it is also my goal. Now that this situation is prepared, the production of this game is not difficult. I need to get the finished product as soon as possible. The most important thing is that the profit generated by this game is continuous, so the development team taking over this game needs to follow up. And even need to be involved in operations. "
Andy's voice just came to an end. Except for a few executives in the conference room, the rest of the people who were able to participate in the meeting became excited, one by one, and leaped like a YU test.
But they were a bit disappointed that this was a time when the big boss lacked a call for the meeting and everyone knew that this was a personal interview.
After seeing that Ceo Blair let Toby and a bit nervous Siray stay, everyone looked a little differently at them, especially those who are active and think they have a chance to compete. Joined Siri, a newcomer who had just come to the company for a few months.
Toby saw Siray's nervous expression and gave him an encouraging look. Although this younger brother had a dispute with himself at work, after all, it was a work matter and did not affect his recognition of Siray's talents. They both After Blair knew about the dispute, he also asked Toby to understand it alone, and even Blair wanted to fire Siray to show that the company valued Toby, or Toby helped Siray to explain it, and finally saved it. With this little brother, of course, Siray didn't know.
When everyone else was gone, there were only three people left in the conference room. Andy said to them, "Maybe you already guessed, I asked you to stay. The game takes me a short time. See the mature version, so do n’t be too happy, are you called Sirei? ”
"Yes ... Boss." Sirei's face turned a little reddish with excitement, and when he heard his boss call his name, he hurriedly stood up and answered.
"Sit down, don't be so nervous, relax. The team leader of Happy Farm is yours. When I asked Blair last night, he said that Toby introduced him to a very talented young man. I need to use this idea, Blair recommended you, and he will give you the game plan, and you can choose your teammates. "Andy began to give the nervous Siray a sunny smile first. , And then said to him seriously.
Xirui ’s excited lips were slightly trembling. After all, it was just a college student who had just graduated. After only joining the company for a few months, he was able to lead the team to develop games independently. It was just like dreaming, with a grateful glance and a smile. Toby, but now is not the time to thank the boss, hurriedly stood up and assured the big boss.
"Please rest assured, I will not let you down, I will make this game in the shortest time!"
Andy on the screen, Blair in the conference room, and Toby looked at the excited Sirei, all smiling with satisfaction.
