Chapter 668 668. New play starts
"Today is the celebration banquet. I will accept this report first, but we will discuss it in a few days." Nie Wei turned the report aside to Luo Kai.
Seeing that Nie Wei accepted the budget report, Zhang Yijun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere at the banquet was restored again, but Nie Wei only sat there for half an hour before taking Luo Kai and leaving. No matter how Zhang Yijun and others tried to persuade him to stay, Nie Wei was not left behind.
By the time Nie Wei left the hotel, instead of becoming more relaxed, the atmosphere in the box seemed extremely silent.
A group of people sat in a private room, facing the tumbling hot pot with the aroma of meat, but everyone took off their chopsticks, not because they were full, but because they had something to worry about.
After a long time, a group leader who had been following Zhang Yijun since Xiansan broke the silence.
"Brother Zhang, it's not appropriate for you to give the report to Nie Wei at this time, isn't it? Will it make Mr. Nie think that we are asking for credit and have some objections to us?"
The words of the team leader spoke to the thoughts of everyone present. In fact, they had already begun to worry when Zhang Yijun tried to hand over the budget report to Nie Wei on such an occasion. Some were even there. At that time, he winked at Zhang Yijun and told him not to be so anxious. Unfortunately, Zhang Yijun was so focused on how to get Nie Wei to agree to the application that he didn't even notice his companion's reminder.
Zhang Yijun looked at everyone's worried expressions, smiled bitterly, and explained: "I also know that I am a little anxious to do this, but I can't help it. The budget number is too big. If I don't take advantage of Mr. Nie's happiness, I'm afraid I won't be able to apply."
The group leaders looked at me and I looked at you, and they understood Zhang Yijun’s difficulties.
"Actually, we can slow down a bit, use the current generation of game engines, achieve some stable results, and then strive for more funds. I believe President Nie will understand better by then." After another long silence, One of the group leaders said regretfully.
"It's too late to say anything now." Zhang Yijun thought broadly and said with a smile: "Anyway, Mr. Nie has already seen the report and accepted it. Let's just wait for the news, and Mr. Nie is not as stingy as you think. Otherwise our "Gu Jian Qi Tan" won't be released, don't worry."
Everyone nodded, and now it seems that this is indeed the only way.
Three days later, Zhang Yijun received a notice from Secretary Nie Wei, telling him that the approval of the budget report had come out and was now in his mailbox.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yijun logged into his mailbox at an unprecedented speed, and then saw the familiar account in the unread email, but he hesitated before clicking on it.
Although in his opinion, Nie Wei is a rare boss who is willing to invest generously in games, and he has great ideas and expectations for stand-alone games, especially domestic stand-alone games, but the budget he proposed is really low among domestic stand-alone games. A 'sky-high price'.
He felt that even if Nie Wei didn't give him a pass in the end, he had nothing to complain about. After all, he couldn't let the boss who invested in him go crazy because he was crazy. He felt that he had to compare his feelings with his own.
After careful consideration, Zhang Yijun clicked on the email, which contained two attachments.
After the first file was successfully downloaded, Zhang Yijun clicked on it with almost closed eyes. After counting ten times silently in his mind, he squinted his eyes to reveal a crack. Then three seconds later, he felt a huge sense of loss. Filled his heart.
"Sure enough..." Zhang Yijun opened his eyes and stared at the screen with a disappointed face. The big three words "fail" inside made his whole person darken, even though he had done a lot of psychological work for himself. Construction, but when the real moment happened, he still felt very sad.
"Perhaps as Xiao Wang (the team leader) said, if you apply after accumulating two works, it will be easier for Mr. Nie to accept it." Zhang Yijun thought gloomily with a bitter smile on his lips.
He even began to reflect on whether the success of the first work had made him a little carried away, just like the comment at the end of the failed document, to act within your capabilities.
Does Mr. Nie think that we are overestimating our capabilities now that we need so much money?
Thinking about this, Zhang Yijun's heart was really full of bitterness and felt a little uncomfortable, until the notification sound of Yizhen's successful download woke him up.
It turns out that the second file was downloaded automatically.
Zhang Yijun thought there might be another letter of criticism similar to a 'warning' to himself, but when he opened the file with complicated emotions, within a few seconds, his expression changed from full of bitterness to one of despair. An incredible surprise.
Because the content in the second folder is the approval of a budget report, not his original budget report, but a new budget report, but the content in this budget report is almost the same as the original budget report. Except the amount.
The previous budget report he submitted was 60 million yuan, but the new approved budget report was 59.99 million yuan.
The difference is only 10,000 yuan!
Zhang Yijun was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He was busy and excited for a long time before he remembered to take a closer look at the approved report and where the gap of 10,000 yuan was.
Soon he found the difference in the amount, which was the labor fee.
He was able to find this point in the complex report so quickly because Nie Weiyan knew that the 10,000 yuan was his punishment for disturbing the atmosphere of the banquet that night.
Zhang Yajun was not dissatisfied with the 10,000 yuan penalty. Instead, he felt that the penalty was too light. It was not because he was a cheapskate, but because Nie Wei's firm support made him feel that his cleverness at that time was too shameful and too wrong.
"The bigger your heart is, the bigger your dream is. Come on, I look forward to you fulfilling my dream of making a stand-alone domestic game." This was a simple message from Nie Wei after he approved it. Although he didn't say much, it showed his expectations for domestic stand-alone games, which was also his expectations for their production team.
At this moment, he really felt that it was a blessing to be able to work under Nie Wei, because this boss really understood him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yajun opened the chat software and posted a message in the work group, asking everyone in the production team to appear in the conference room half an hour later.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yajun walked into the conference room, and five minutes later, there was a thunderous cheer in the conference room.
That night, Nie Wei received an application report in his mailbox. All members of Fanxing Game Company refused the request for vacation, and these programmers actually strongly requested to work overtime.
After reading this "absurd" report, Nie Wei knew the reason immediately. It was obviously caused by the budget report he approved.
Come to think of it, a domestic game with an investment of 60 million yuan is nothing in the international game circle. It can only be regarded as a medium budget. Those top 3A masterpieces all have an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan.
But this 60 million investment in the Chinese game circle is really the top investment, comparable to the sensation caused by the hero grapefruit in the Chinese film circle.
In China, this is the top investment figure, the undisputed No. 1. 60 million is even more than the total production cost of other domestic stand-alone games in recent years.
Faced with such a large amount of funds and the new technology that will be introduced as the funds are in place, these programmers are naturally very excited. It is a happy and glorious thing to be able to participate in such a project.
As for vacation, these guys who were overwhelmed by the game production costs, plus a few words from Zhang Yijun, the shareholder, were all excited, and they didn't care about vacation.
That's why there is a report that normal people can't understand.
This time Nie Wei gave a reply immediately, "No!"
Investing 600,000 yuan in the game company, Nie Wei is not doing charity. He has too many good game planners in his mind. If these can't make the game production team become a reality, they are garbage to Nie Wei, but when he can cultivate a capable game team, then these game planners are real treasures.
And the benefits brought to Nie Wei at that time are far from the current investment of 60 million. Now the 60 million invested is actually a handful of seeds sown by Nie Wei. In two or three years, golden rice will be harvested.
So he couldn't agree to the decision made by this group of people in a daze. Don't look at their current enthusiasm, that is stimulated by the funds approved by him. When this enthusiasm is over, they are caught up in busy work, and then they will definitely regret the decision at this moment.
Although the chance of resenting his boss is not high, after all, it is their own "death", but it is certain that they will complain or have regrets.
Nie Wei least wanted to see employees working with emotions, because that would make simple things troublesome, and efficient work would even turn into a disaster. After all, you can't expect a person with a large range of emotional fluctuations to maintain a calm and gentle working attitude.
Since he promised this vacation, he naturally had to give it to these programmers, so that they could have a good time. When they get back to work, they would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. The key is that Nie Wei thinks that doing so will definitely make him better known among employees.
The fact is the same as he thought. When the reply of disagreement and the notice of paid vacation for employees were sent to Fanxing Game Company, everyone in the game production team cheered. These guys actually regretted it after being too excited yesterday. They were very nervous all night, fearing that their impulse would become a reality.
Fortunately, everything was just overthinking. President Nie is still the good boss that everyone likes the most. Not only did he immediately fulfill the promised paid vacation, but he also fulfilled the promise of the team travel that he casually mentioned at the wine table.
The girls in the production team looked at the notice of the "10-day trip to Europe" and their eyes were shining. Moreover, the company not only covers the round-trip air tickets, but also the hotel accommodation and three meals a day. You don't need to worry about it. Everything is covered by the company. If you don't want to buy souvenirs locally, you don't even need to bring a wallet.
Of course, this registration is voluntary. Nie Wei took into account that some programmers are senior otakus and may not like to travel.
Within an hour after the notice was sent out, Zhang Yajun received dozens of application reports on his desk. Obviously, many people want to participate in this opportunity to go abroad to gain experience.
After Nie Wei arranged the benefits for the employees of the game company, he began to focus on the preparations for the new crew in the remaining days.
As a director, Li Dawei has already visited the local island of Taiwan. Although there are videos and photos sent back by the staff there, as a director, Li Dawei still decided to take a look at the entity before making a final decision.
And Luo Yuan, the producer, is even busier.
As the housekeeper, she is responsible for all aspects, but the training of several crews has made her no longer a newly-minted rookie producer. Although there is a lot of work, she is busy and orderly, and the preparation progress of the crew is also moving towards completion rapidly. Most of the credit for all this should be given to Luo Yuan.
Nie Wei is not idle either. He is more likely to play with several leading actors and exchange acting skills.
Half a month has passed unknowingly. Most of the people in the Stars Game Company are already in Europe to start their European journey, and Nie Wei and the new crew are also preparing to go to Taiwan to start filming the new drama.
Unlike Kyoto, the weather in Taiwan in May is already very hot. On the day Nie Wei arrived, the highest temperature even reached 30 degrees at 2 pm, while in Kyoto, the daily average highest temperature is only 22 or 23 degrees.
It has been more than half a year since Nie Wei last came to Taiwan for the Golden Horse Awards. Fans in Taiwan obviously miss their idol very much, and fans of Cheng Kun can be described as looking forward to it. Therefore, there were thousands of fans at the airport to pick him up that day. The momentum was so huge that young actors such as Chen Qiaoen and Wang Kai were shocked.
On the contrary, several old artists were used to it and were indifferent. They felt very warm that Nie Wei specially arranged a lot of bodyguards to protect them.
It was not until everyone got on the bus specially arranged by Huayi, including Nie Wei, that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, fans picking up the airport is a test of popularity for artists. It is what they desire, but it also makes them worry, especially for super popular artists like Nie Wei and Cheng Kun. Every time they leave the airport, there will be a large group of fans. While they are moved, they are also worried about whether these fans will be injured in the crowd, and they are even more afraid of any stampede.
Chen Qiaoen had never experienced such a scene. Even when she was the most popular, she was only met by passers-by on the street and asked for an autograph. She was surrounded by thousands of people. She had only seen it on the news before, and it was Nie Wei's news. Now the protagonist of the news was right next to her, and she really experienced this scene with him. The whole person can be said to be very excited.
Chen Qiaoen couldn't help but poke Nie Wei's arm with her finger. After Nie Wei looked at her in confusion, she looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.
Thanks to Huichong and Liduobuguai for their generous 1,000 rewards, and thanks to Renshengjinjianjihuilei and Fantasy Paradise for their generous support!
