Chapter 89 A Small Goal
"Tommy!"

Seeing Tommy coming, Candice's face blossomed into a bright smile. She trotted over happily and gave Tommy a warm kiss on the face.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you had something to do at the studio today?"

"I'm here to see you."

Tommy said, grabbing her slender waist and smiling.

"The work over there is almost done. The key points have been passed down. Jin will help me with the rest of the work."

He recently opened a new studio, which focuses on the gaming business.

Tommy thought it over and realized that doing business was too difficult, it required a lot of effort but the returns were slow.

It would be better to start some entertainment industry first.

Especially the gaming industry, which is a huge money-making machine.

Take the recently popular "World of Warcraft" for example, which has an annual profit of at least hundreds of millions of dollars. Just relying on this project, Blizzard is making a lot of money.

Of course, Tommy didn't have the idea of developing a World of Warcraft-like game right away.

For a newbie like him, it's best not to aim too high and not to try too hard for large-scale games.

First, create a small product to see the profit, and at the same time, train the employees under you and improve their technical level.

Besides, who says mini-games can’t make money?
Tommy has made up his mind. He plans to develop a pixel sandbox game, which is the famous "Minecraft" in his previous life.

This game has many advantages.

Firstly, it does not require too much money, and the developer in the previous life completed the initial version of the game content by himself.

Secondly, the difficulty of project development is relatively moderate.

For pixel games, you don’t have to worry about art design.

The main difficulty lies in programming. You have to consider the function and logic of each block, and how to connect them.

Although Tommy knew little about programming, he had played games and knew what the game content should be, which saved the project a lot of creative thinking.

As long as his employees follow the directions he gives step by step, there will be basically no major problems and it will be easy to complete the production of the game.

However, Jin was worried about his sudden whim.

It is understandable that King wants to make an animation film. After all, it can form a linkage with the Krusty Krab and deepen the brand image of the Krusty Krab in the minds of customers.

But playing games?
This was a little beyond her expectations.

Besides, she couldn't see what was so fun about the game.

It's just a bunch of small pixel blocks, not beautiful at all, and the way to play is no different from Lego blocks.

Can you really make money from such a game?

Of course, although she was not very confident, she still faithfully carried out her boss's orders.

Anyway, it doesn’t cost much, not even enough to buy a sports car. I might as well try my luck, what if I succeed?

Unlike Jin, Tommy is full of confidence in "Minecraft". He knows too well the charm of sandbox games.

As long as the game can be successfully developed and launched, you can basically just sit back and wait for money to fall from the sky.

A small goal every year is definitely not a problem.

And there’s another benefit to the gaming industry.

It is rarely restricted by region or country.

As long as the game is fun enough, players around the world will buy it.

Then, if Tommy wants to unlock the achievements of the game series, it will be easy and he can easily earn a lot of points.

And this is precisely the biggest reason why Tommy did not pursue a career but started in the entertainment industry first.

Candice didn't understand a word Tommy said about Minecraft and the future development of the gaming industry.

She only knew that she needed a sweet smile, an admiring look, and quiet listening.

Tommy liked her so much for being so well-behaved, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much money and resources to support her.

Of course, with Candice's own outstanding talents, she will have a bright future without his help.

Tommy's help now only speeds up the whole process.

More importantly, it can also allow Candice to avoid some of the dirty things in the entertainment industry and save her a lot of trouble.

Taking Candice over to the director, Tommy decided to ask how the commercial was going.

After all, the Krusty Krab is his most profitable business at the moment, so it is necessary to pay more attention to it.

"Everything went smoothly and the quality of the finished film was very good."

The director gave a thumbs up and praised it.

“Ms. Swanepoel’s acting skills are the best I have seen in recent years. Even if she enters Hollywood, she can become a big star in the industry.

If I come across a good script, it's possible that I could win the Best Actress Award."

He's talking pure nonsense.

It's just a commercial, there's no question of whether the acting is good or not.

This thing just involves posing in a few poses, holding a burger and saying an advertising slogan. There isn't much work in total. It can be shot in just one day.

However, people are willing to hear good words.

Even though she knew the director was deliberately flattering her, Candice was still happy to hear it.

Tommy also had a faint smile on his face.

At this moment, Leonardo, who had been observing for a long time, saw that the atmosphere here was quite good, so he walked over tentatively and said a few nice words.

“The director is right, Miss Swanepoel is really talented.

I know a lot of directors and producers. If Mr. Vercetti is interested in helping Miss Swanepoel develop in the film industry, I would be happy to help you."

Multiple friends mean multiple paths, multiple enemies mean multiple walls.

If he doesn't understand this, why is he still in the entertainment industry?

Candice politely declined his enthusiastic help.

Regardless of whether she wants to make a movie, even if she does, she doesn't need help from outsiders.

How stupid must a woman be to agree to another man's request for help in front of her own man?

It's true that she is blonde and white, but that doesn't mean she has no brains.

She just knows when she should be smart and when she should pretend to be naive.

Moreover, she also knows her position.

Now she is the canary in the cage. She knows exactly what to do and what to do, and she will never make her master unhappy.

Leonardo, who was rejected, did not show any strange expression on his face and continued to speak with a smile.

"Okay, I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

"Definitely next time."

After responding casually, Tommy took Candice's hand, turned around and left the set, got into the Ferrari parked outside, and drove away.

In the car.

As if she suddenly remembered something, Candice mumbled and asked vaguely.

"Tommy, where are we going?"

"Please prepare to accompany me to a cocktail party tonight."

Sitting in the driver's seat, Tommy stroked Candice's hair while steering the wheel.

"As for now, of course I'm going to buy some dresses to wear to the cocktail party."
