The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 6 Watching a Show in the Office
This is not the first time that "Frost and Snow Project" has encountered water armies.

There was one when it was first released.

But this is normal.

——In this world, the Eryou circle is a very magical circle. Anyone who mixes in this circle will be rushed sooner or later.

Either you are attacked by players, or by water army, or by both.

If you release a new game and there are neither trolls nor players criticizing it, it probably means that your game is a complete failure and no one cares about it.

When "Frost and Snow Plan" was first released, it was treated as a premium package due to its rare positioning - it was attacked by both players and water armies.

However, this "welcome ceremony" only lasted three or four days.

Afterwards, perhaps realizing the sudden death nature of "Frost and Snow Plan", friendly companies quickly stopped recharging the water army.

Then the popularity of "Frost and Snow Project" quickly plummeted.

"What's going on this time?"

"Could it be that some friendly company has a unique vision and thinks that the transformation of Project Frost and Snow will pose a threat to them?"

"Um……"

Xu Meng pondered for a few seconds, trying to find the mastermind behind the incident.

But there are more than a dozen well-known second-hand travel companies, and it is impossible to guess.

In the end, I could only make a note in a small notebook, throw my phone away and go to sleep in dissatisfaction.

……

……

As soon as he arrived at the company the next day, Xu Meng ran to the operations department angrily to cause trouble for the person in charge.

"Do you know who is hiring the trolls to manipulate our rhythm?"

"Ah?" Operations Director Song Zhicheng blinked in confusion, obviously not mentally prepared for this question.

Seeing his expression, Xu Meng pressed her forehead helplessly.

The thought from yesterday came to my mind again - how can I make a good game with this group of insects?
But he shook his head and threw this excessive idea out of his mind.

He took out his cell phone, opened the comment section of the "Frost and Snow Project" account, and pointed it to Song Zhicheng.

Song Zhicheng flipped through a few pages and said uncertainly, "Is this from a troll?"

Xu Meng took a deep breath and raised his hand to cover his chest.

——Behind him, the young assistant Chen Mengling had already put her hand into her inner pocket.

"You're asking me? You're the operations director and I'm the operations director!?"

Song Zhicheng remained silent.

"No, haven't you been in this industry for more than seven years?" Xu Meng looked at him with some dismay, "Don't you have any good friends in the industry, or some troll bosses?"

Song Zhicheng had nothing to say.

After a long while, he managed to utter: "I... don't like Internet trolls, and I haven't had much contact with them."

"?" A question mark slowly appeared in Xu Meng's head.

You are in charge of the operation of the second-tier game, and you have even reached the position of director. It is normal that you don’t like the water army. It’s a bit…

"I resigned twice before, both times because I resisted using water army to attack my colleagues." Song Zhicheng confessed with some difficulty.

"..."

Xu Meng wanted to say something, but felt like he couldn't put it into words.

Is he an operations director who works together to build dreams, or an idealist with high moral character?
not easy.

It’s a pity, buddy, you chose the wrong track.

You shouldn't come to a second-player game company, you should go to a company that makes stand-alone games.

That place is full of idealists, each one more stubborn than the other.

Xu Meng sighed helplessly, "Forget it."

"It's okay if you don't want to attack your peers, but you can't just sit there and wait to be attacked. So, try asking your former colleagues."

"If I can't find out, forget it."

"If you can find out who it is, you don't need to hire a troll army. Just tell me and I will scold them back myself."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Song Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly after he reacted.

"And the virtual anchor girl I asked you to contact, remember to hurry up and don't be stingy with your budget." "Understood, I've already made an appointment."

"Okay, tell me when you find out." Xu Meng reminded him again before leaving the operations department.

When passing by the public office area, he clearly felt a restless atmosphere circulating among the crowd.

This is different from the turmoil caused by yesterday's announcement that the company might go bankrupt, the boss successively laid off the copywriter and the head of the art department, and then made drastic adjustments to the work content.

There was no uneasiness in this atmosphere, but instead it was filled with hidden joy and anticipation.

There were a few people in particular who laughed in a particularly obscene manner.

Xu Meng didn't understand.

"What's going on with them?" he asked Chen Mengling.

The assistant pointed to Chen Wanzhong who was not far away and said, "Although the reactions are different, the reasons are the same."

Xu Meng looked in the direction she pointed and found that Chen Wanzhong was fidgeting, his face flushed, and he clenched his fists from time to time to cheer himself up.

"What is he so nervous about? Going on a blind date?"

"Boss, didn't you tell us to contact the agency and invite models to shoot for them? The models will be here this afternoon." The assistant finally revealed the answer.

"Chen Wanzhong was too nervous, but in order to do his job well, he had to watch it. This was a psychological preparation."

"The other employees simply haven't seen many models in real life, and they are probably looking forward to watching the show in person or something."

"Watch the show live?" Xu Meng shook his head subconsciously.

But after shaking his head, he fell into thought again.

In order to achieve the desired footage, they quoted double the price to the actor agency and asked them to agree to allow staff other than photographers to observe the filming process.

The company is indeed short of money, but the appearance fee of an 18th-tier model for an afternoon is actually very low.

——It was so low that Xu Meng began to doubt how they managed to survive.
However, even though the appearance fee is low, due respect should still be shown.

Xu Meng asked his employees to make adjustments to the large office dedicated to motion capture, and also vacated a rest area and changing room.

The staff watching did not rush to see the monkeys, but instead designated a viewing area and prohibited taking photos.

——The motion capture venue is the largest indoor space of Dream Building. It is so large that it exceeds the scale of Dream Building and can easily accommodate so many people.

There is no doubt that this is also the legacy left by former boss Zhang Yang.

In short, Xu Meng asked to make the process as professional as possible to eliminate possible embarrassment for the models.

Thinking about it this way, it seems possible to turn this "collection" into a team-building activity to watch a show.

Models can get an extra red envelope to subsidize their lives.

Employees can also eliminate the anxiety caused by company turmoil and layoffs, boost morale, and devote themselves to the subsequent busy and overtime work schedule.

"Do you want to see it too?" he asked his assistant.

The assistant was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Xu Meng didn't seem to be joking, he immediately nodded excitedly, "Yes! Very much!"

"Then let's do this. Go find Brother Zhang and Sister Chen and ask them to take care of it."

These two people, one is responsible for external contacts and the other is responsible for internal coordination. Both are rare "older" employees over 40 years old in Zhumeng. They are experienced and quite reliable.

Especially Sister Chen, who is in charge of both administrative and personnel matters and is very popular in the company.

Xu Meng watched the assistant trotting along to find someone and nodded with satisfaction.

Having a company is more comfortable than working alone.

It feels so good to be a hands-off boss!
He unscrewed the thermos, sipped wolfberry tea, and leisurely walked to the artists' workstations to watch them draw the new version of the illustrations.

He was most familiar with Ding Nian and Xu Fang, so he walked over to look at their paintings.

But the moment he saw Ding Nian's screen, half of the wolfberry tea sprayed out of his throat.

"Cough cough cough!!"

He was choked and coughed madly.

Ding Nian, who was concentrating on painting, turned around blankly.

On the computer screen next to her, there was a red-haired queen, naked, lying on a dark red sofa, drinking red wine.

That is Tongque, the female character with the most important role in the early stage of "Frost Plan".

"Cough cough! Why do you want to draw characters without clothes?" Xu Meng asked with difficulty while coughing.

I did tell you to draw the character in more colorful colors, but I didn’t tell you not to wear clothes!
This thing won't pass the review! !
