"But," Ai Xiaomi added: "As long as I give you money, I can get a few more."

Cao Yang waved his hand, "Okay, you are so outstanding, leave someone else a way out."

In the island country, there is a mature industrial chain for making games and animation, including from the initial planning to production to distribution, and even voice actors have a professional market.

In 2000, these were still in their infancy. Everyone was crossing the river by feeling their way. Although there were some dubbing companies, most of the domestic dubbing staff were broadcasting and hosting professionals, and were used to dub various translator audio and video or video materials.

Specifically, the voice actor industry that has formed a very refined division of labor in the island country has not yet appeared, let alone the voice actors can become idols.

Cao Yang asked his company employees to help with the dubbing for several reasons. One was to use local materials. These girls from the imperial capital were actually quite standard in Mandarin. As long as he trained, ahem, and had good guidance, it should not be worse than those broadcasters.

Moreover, Ai Xiaomi herself writes the script, so she should have better control over her characters' emotions.

Anyway, if you ask for a professional dubbing, Ai Xiaomi will also be in charge of the shed.

Generally, game companies find people to dubbing, and the main copywriter is responsible for portraying all characters in the game. You have to go to the audition studio to guide the dubbing actors to achieve the effect of the sound that matches the characters designed by you.

But I still think that if I can save, I will save as much as possible.

Since I have spent 2 million on the soundtrack, I have to save more in other places.

...

Of course, 2 million is not settled at one time, and Cao Yang can't come up with so much.

He agreed with Brother Xian to pay 500,000 yuan as a deposit, and then make up for the remaining part after the game is released.

The 2 million yuan is hard-earned, and it is the capital lent to Caoyang by Miss Mining. In addition to the 1.5 million yuan left to him by Caoyang's parents, Caoyang still has 3.5 million yuan in working capital.

On the one hand, this money must be used for company turnover, pay wages to employees, and repay bank loans. On the other hand, it must reserve future game operations.

Game operation is a money-burning job. You have to advertise and do ground promotion (ground promotion personnel seek players for promotion). In short, it is to spend money to let more people know and become interested in your game, so that the sales of the game can be broadened.

For example, if a knife passed down from the previous life, Zhazhahui would be invited to be the spokesperson for ordinary people.

This is a considerable expense. The cost of the entire operation may be much higher than the product production, or even several times the cost of the product production.

The endorsements of Xiaolu and Reba in their previous lives will cost 100 million or 200 million.

Unfortunately, Zou Jielun has not become popular yet, otherwise it would be quite cost-effective to sign his endorsement at one time.

However, Cao Yang was not in a hurry. He had his own plans for future product marketing. The most urgent thing was to make the product well first.

...

May 1, 2000.

This day is Bomi, and to be precise, a milestone for the new Bomi led by Caoyang.

The game has been completed and entered the later stage of bug debugging, which indicates that the game will be released soon and will make money.

Moreover, in order to better promote his own game, Cao Yang also made a pv of the game.

PV is actually a game promotional trailer short film. It usually lasts about 1 minute. Although this short film is very short, it can play a very large role.

It bears the initial attraction.

A good PV can show the core gameplay and experience of the game, and directly mobilize players' curiosity and desire to buy.

It has a bit of the meaning of writing three golden pictures of the novel at Qidian.

Cao Yang cut almost all the best animation shots in the game.

In 2000, the network was not very developed. Compared with 100M bandwidth in 21 years, 100k/s in 2000 was already considered a very amazing network speed.

And there was no Weibo at this time, and several major portals only served as news and part of advertising.

It is not realistic to play videos on the Internet.

However, PV can be played on the TV station's special game channel.

This is also one of the few promotion channels now.

Cao Yang placed the 3-section PV on Bomi's official website, and also signed several larger TV and game channels for promotion, which cost him about 500,000 yuan.

Cao Yang's heart is bleeding.

Inside Bomi, everyone sat together and watched the promotional short film "The Night of Glory of Kings" and was amazed.

"Damn it, is this the game I made?"

"Yes, it feels a bit awesome."

"This scene, and these female characters, are so urged to play. Ahem, I mean the urge to play games."

"Hehe, the production is now all-age-oriented. It will be amazing when our eighteenth is completed." Cao Yang said with a proud look on his face.

It feels exciting to think about it.

The heroine characters in Honor of Kings are more and more exaggerated. If it were not for the domestic environment in previous lives, Cao Yang would be willing to draw a notebook for them.

Now this wish is finally coming true.

...

Cao Yang was still very satisfied with this version of the game, and he couldn't even find a reason to be dissatisfied.

He has a very deep artistic foundation. He has served as the main beauty for major manufacturers for many years in his previous life. His aesthetics must have surpassed this era. If he controls the art effects, the result will definitely be a big hit.

Coupled with Zou Jielun's soundtrack and Fate's plot, Cao Yang believes that there is no reason for this game to be popular.

"Boss Niu Pi!" Everyone stood up and applauded Cao Yang.

"No, it's yours."

"Guangran, without such awesome you and the program team, we can't have done it so quickly."

"Ma Hao, your art team is so cool. This picture, special effects and UI are just awesome."

"Ai Xiaomi, you're simply awesome."

Everyone turned on the commercial mutual blowing mode, and Zhuang Yurou next to her felt something was wrong.

Everyone laughed and still couldn't finish their feelings to read the three pvs again.

"Digging the trough, I feel a little bit overwhelmed if I hear too much of this bgm."

"Right? I always feel like there is a magnificent atmosphere. What style does this look like? It feels like Chinese style and foreign symphony."

"hey-hey."

Cao Yang sat next to him with his legs crossed, smiling without saying a word.

Zou Jielun's output speed is absolutely amazing.

All the soundtracks in the game have about 23 songs in total, and this person completed it in less than a month.

What speed is this?

Some professional music masters are already quite amazing if they can finish a song in one month.

The key is that Zou Jielun is not only fast, but also has guaranteed quality.

Cao Yang listened to the familiar soundtrack with Chinese style and international elements, and couldn't help but feel excited again.

Zou Jielun!

yyds!
Chapter completed!
