Even the students who come for internships are no exception.
Take Yu Bing, for example, the third-year student who bravely proposed the prototype of the game at the Star Show competition.
His share is 20%, something that was agreed upon beforehand.
The sales figures for "Idle Heroes" are there, and they continue to rise over time, causing the pre-withdrawal funds in his account to fluctuate.
That number almost made him forget to breathe.
The game ranked number one on the leaderboard has "Yu Bing" written on it in big letters!
How many studios in the world are so generous as to allow an intern to receive such credit based solely on his immature ideas?
As if in a dream, Yu Bing downed half a bottle of beer for the first time in her life.
Seeing this, Mingyan went over to comfort Yu Bing.
"Are you getting used to the pace here?" Mingyan asked. "The overtime here is a bit tighter than on Blue Star, mainly because the game's theme dictates that the development cycle needs to be shortened as much as possible."
After many days, Yu Bing saw Ming Yan again, and apart from shaking her head vigorously, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
The last time I saw Mingyan, he was on a live television program, standing in the most glorious and dazzling place in the entire industry, accepting the trophy that symbolized the champion.
Only a few days had passed, and this designer appeared before him, showing him great tenderness and concern...
Yu Bing felt that this world was really too unrealistic.
Then, for some reason, tears streamed down his face, and he said, "Waaah, playing games is so great..."
Because of his love for games and his admiration for Blue Star Studio, he chose to apply for a game design major, wanting to follow in the footsteps of the mastermind.
He never regretted it for a single second.
...
The news of the success of "Idle Heroes" by Tu Long Bao Dao Studio quickly attracted attention from all sides.
A news team from IPP also interviewed Yu Bing.
After all, the concept of "idle game" first appeared at IPP's rookie competition, and Yu Bing was appreciated by Mingyan because of this.
However, at this moment, the onlookers all thought that Yu Bing had chosen the Dragon Slayer Sword instead of Blue Star.
In Tingxi's studio, Zhu Wenshu had seen the news.
For the past week, he has blocked all news about Blue Star. Even hearing the word "annual" in everyday life can trigger his fury.
But now that he has read the news and seen the comments from players below the article:
[I remember this person; they were quite famous on the Star Talent Competition, and Chief Designer Ming from Blue Star even gave them a critique!]
[Why did he go to the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio?! He's ungrateful! We explicitly promised to dig him out, and he just turned around and went to another studio?]
Didn't the two studios have a transaction before? I think it was Chief Designer Ming who recommended them.
The most upvoted comment at this point came from someone with an overactive imagination:
[Just a wild guess. The leader was probably busy working on the game "Mortal Souls" lately, but saw a promising young game developer and couldn't bear to let him go to waste, so he gave him a few pointers at the Star Showdown and later recommended him to the Dragon Slayer Sword.]
Another fan replied below:
[Waaaaah, Master! I beg you, please be a little more ruthless when it comes to making money!! This game is so profitable, it would be so great to use the money to support the entire planet Earth!]
After reading these comments, Zhu Wenshu revealed a gloating smile.
His secretary was pouring him coffee when Zhu Wenshu said, "Look, stupid people just bury themselves in their work and end up doing all the work for others. Everything in this world requires capital... A hypocrite like him, pretending to be innocent and pitiful, will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
The secretary, expressionless, brought over the coffee.
She didn't want to lose her job, so she kept her thoughts to herself: Idiot! Would Chief Designer Ming be short of money? He just won Game of the Year... Besides, he knows this game is good but didn't invest in it. All you do all day is curse that game will flop. The difference in quality is obvious.
In this world, there are some people who seem to have cheat codes, making money just by standing still.
Sadly, some of those kneeling still refuse to believe this fact.
Just then, the alarm clock went off.
Zhu Wenshu stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "The investment discussion meeting is about to begin. Organize the document folder for me. Today we should discuss our publicity plan... We must bring down the mortal soul!"
However, he was unaware of this.
At this very meeting, a hidden danger that he had overlooked finally came to light.
Chapter 63 Public Opinion Rush
[Highlights of the Star Talent Competition (Uncut Version)! Bonus: Highlights of one of the judges' remarks]
On the first day of the new year, such a post appeared on the official IPP forum.
In fact, the unedited version of the Star Show competition was something that the official team had already released, but it was not promoted at all, so not many people knew about it.
The competition lasts all day, and few netizens have the interest or energy to watch it all.
However, if someone happens to edit together a "highlights" version, that's a different story.
The direction of this video is clearly aimed at "a certain judge".
The video begins by pausing to focus on the five judges, and then introducing their respective companies and positions.
