Game development giant

The explosion of two consecutive games has enabled Shinhwa Studios to successfully rank among the top game developers in China, and is called China's fourth largest game company by players.

Seeing that "Minecraft" has been recognized by countless players, it has sold 18 million copies in one month, and the monthly turnover is nearly 1.8 billion yuan. Even after deducting the channel and distribution costs, the profit is close to 80. Billion.

The Shinhwa Network now sits on two inexhaustible gold mines, and it can be said that it is the game company with the most cash in China.

"Minecraft" has a dividend of 240 million this time. The entire staff of Shinhwa Studio totals 83 people. Everyone can receive a dividend of at least one million. For example, Wang Xiuqin and Zhang Yunhai can get at least 800 Million.

As soon as the news came out, the entire game circle was stunned. All the game practitioners were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, showing their thousands or tens of thousands of dividends and crying for the boss's stingy.

Many people do everything possible to find out if Shinhwa Network has plans to recruit people recently. Once they have the opportunity, they will definitely jump over.

Soon after the people of Shinhwa Studio received the dividends, twelve or three people submitted their resignations. Some of them wanted to start their own businesses, and some of them were duped by other game companies at high prices. Li Yuanhang did not try to keep them, and all agreed to them. Resignation.

As soon as these people left, Li Yuanhang posted a recruitment advertisement on his Weibo. It didn't take long for the recruitment mailbox of Shinhwa Network to receive thousands of resumes, and the mailboxes were filled up.

Most of these people who submit resumes do not have any real talents, but hope that they can pass the test and enjoy the super-high benefits of Shinhwa Network.

Of course, many of these people must be real game talents, but this needs to be screened by the human resources department.

There are only three people in the Human Resources Department of Shinhwa.com. With so many job application resumes, they are so busy. Minister Liu Xueyan and Li Yuanhang cried out to recruit more HR. Naturally, Li Yuanhang would not refuse this request.

At this moment, Zhang Yunhai approached Li Yuanhang and handed him a resignation letter.

Li Yuanhang did not accept his resignation, and asked curiously: "Brother Hai, you have done a good job, why do you suddenly remember to resign?"

Zhang Yunhai put his resignation on the table and sighed: "Boss, I am now forty years old this year, and after switching to PC games, I feel powerless. Many of the things I learned before are no longer available. It's useful, and keeping it is only a hindrance. It's better to leave by yourself."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yunhai looked up and showed a smile: "Following BOSS in the past few years, I have also received a lot of dividends and bonuses. Even if I don't work, I will not worry about eating and drinking for the second half of my life. I am retiring early. "

Li Yuanhang could tell from Zhang Yunhai’s tone that he really wanted to leave. He also knew that after the transformation, many people from his old team would not be able to keep up, but he did not expect to be after the first MC , Zhang Yunhai, the veteran of Shinhwa Studio, is about to resign.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuanhang said carefully: "Brother Hai, have you considered transferring to another job?"

"Transfer?" Zhang Yunhai was taken aback: "I don't know anything except playing games, what position can I transfer to?"

Li Yuanhang said: "I plan to set up a marketing department in Shinhwa Network recently. If you don't mind Haige, go to this marketing department as the person in charge."

Zhang Yunhai thought for a while and shook his head: "Boss, forget it, I don't know much about the market. If you want me to be responsible, it must be a mess."

Li Yuanhang tapped his fingers on the desktop slowly. He pondered for a long time and said: "I have set up a separate studio to be responsible for the production of mobile phone games, but I have never had time to do it. Now Shinhwa Network is on the right track. , This studio is also time to start."

"Brother Hai, you are a veteran game player who has been in the industry for 20 years. You have been making mobile stand-alone games for the past few years. It is only appropriate for you to be the producer of this studio."

When Zhang Yunhai heard that he could be in charge of a studio independently, he couldn't help but feel moved: "But I have no experience as a producer?"

Li Yuanhang smiled and said: "Brother Hai, when I opened the Shinhwa Studio, I didn’t have any experience. I just bite the bullet to do it. Maybe I was in a hurry at the beginning, and then it went smoothly. That's it."

Zhang Yunhai thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "I am willing to give it a try, but I don't know if I can do it."

Li Yuanhang personally poured a glass of water for Zhang Yunhai and put it in front of him, and said relaxedly: "With your experience, Brother Hai, plus my creativity, it must be no problem."

Zhang Yunhai said with a smile on his face: "Then I'll try it first."

Li Yuanhang taught Zhang Yunhai his years of experience as a producer: "Brother Hai, what do you think you need to be a producer?"

Zhang Yunhai said: "You must understand all aspects of game production, and then lead people to make the game well."

Li Yuanhang shook his head: "Brother Hai, you are only partly correct. I personally think that the most important skill of a game producer is communication."

Zhang Yunhai was a little confused: "Communication?"

"Yes, it's communication," Li Yuanhang said eloquently: "First of all, to be a good producer, you must communicate with company leaders and sponsors. You must be able to impress company leaders or sponsors, so as to attract investment for your projects, and try to Not affected by external factors."

"Then, the producer has to communicate with the players to see what the players like, whether they are interested in their games, whether they are willing to pay, and so on."

"Finally, the producer has to communicate with the project team, communicate the art style, model and texture with the art, communicate with the program about the front-end, back-end and server, and communicate with the planner about the game design, value and copywriting."

"So, a qualified producer has to learn to communicate in addition to his own knowledge reserves. As long as he has full communication skills, he is an excellent game producer."

Zhang Yunhai thoughtfully, desperately digesting Li Yuanhang's experience.

Li Yuanhang told Zhang Yunhai a lot of things that producers need to master and avoid. These are all his experiences in his previous life and the world, and he told Zhang Yunhai without reservation.

As for how many things can be realized, it depends on Zhang Yunhai's understanding.

The two talked for almost two hours. Zhang Yunhai watched as the time was about to get off work and then left. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and asked, "BOSS, what is the name of this new studio? "

Li Yuanhang said without thinking: "Either it is called Baihu Studio or Xuanwu Studio. Brother Hai, you can choose one yourself."

Zhang Yunhai said: "That's called Xuanwu Studio."
