Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

“The protagonist would be a well-trained space soldier and commander.
Most of the airtime would be on the protagonist commanding the fleet and leading the war against the Zergs through a screen.

“However, would he be commanding real people? Should he know about it? Those are the key questions.”

Everyone fell silent.

They had deciphered most of the clues that Boss Pei had left them with.
However, they still didn’t have a clear enough framework to work with.

The game’s mechanisms would affect the movie’s plot and vice versa.
As long as one point remained unclear, it would be difficult for the team to work on the entire project.

After some consideration, Huang Sibo said, “Why don’t we consult Boss Pei again?

“Let’s report what we have so far to him and ask him for more clues?”

Zhu Xiaoce immediately shook his head and resolutely shouted, “No!

“Boss Pei has already decided to tell us this much.
That means he’s not willing to reveal any more information.

“We can’t always rely on Boss Pei for everything either.

“Boss Pei was responsible for Game Designer, Tomorrow is Beautiful, and Struggle; but we can’t always wait for Boss Pei to spoonfeed us.

“We have to work hard to write a good story.
Boss Pei has already given us the framework.
We should think about the other parts for ourselves now.”

Everyone exchanged meaningful looks, thinking that what Zhu Xiaoce had just said made sense.

Indeed, they could not always depend on Boss Pei.
They had to work hard on their own!

Boss Pei had only given them a general direction this time, without much detail.

Still, that meant that everyone was given a high level of freedom to decide on the gameplay and framework for the structure.
They could grasp this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough in their learning.

After a couple of rounds of brainstorming, everyone’s notes were filled with dense walls of words.

Although they had not finalized every detail, the general direction was clear.

Huang Sibo gently tapped the table.
“Alright, I think we have enough for the day.
We can’t expect to finish everything that Boss Pei has left us within a single day.

“Let’s go back, cool down, and quiet our minds.
Then, we’ll come back and review what we have.

“I’ll create a group chat.
If you have any good ideas, feel free to share them in that group.

“Let’s not waste any more time now.
We’ll start preparing what we can while brainstorming.

“Xianbin, come up with a general framework first and set the requirements for art resources as soon as you can.
That should include the human soldiers, warships, Zergs of various types, their concept art, and so on.
Put it all together.

“Fei Huang Workspace should do the same as well.
Once you confirm whatever you can confirm, start on your preparations.

“Brainstorm as you go along.
For all we know, we might be able to come up with something good.”

Everyone nodded one by one and then stood up.

Huang Sibo expressed his thanks to everyone once again.
After all, Lu Mingliang, Lin Wan, Ma Yiqun, and the others had no relations to this project.
They had come purely to help out.

Lu Mingliang and Lin Wan told Huang Sibo not to worry.
Since it was Boss Pei’s project, they all had to help one another out!

Soon, they left the room.

Zhu Xiaoce turned to Huang Sibo.
“Brother Huang, I’m thinking about whether we should decide on the protagonist.
Lu Zhiyao seems to be hot now.”

Huang Sibo paused for a moment.
“He’s a good option, but his acting skills are really good.
Would it be a waste to make him act as an expressionless character? What’s more, the script isn’t out yet, is it?”

Zhu Xiaoce answered, “I have an idea that I want Lu Zhiyao to test out.”

Huang Sibo: “What idea?”

Zhu Xiaoce replied, “I want to lock him up and make him play the game for a few days to get into character.
For all we know, he might get some inspiration in the process.”

…

Zhu Xiaoce arrived at the conference room and called Lu Zhiyao.

“Hello, Director Zhu?”

Zhu Xiaoce cut straight to the chase.
“Boss Pei intends to invest three hundred million in a new film.
Are you interested?”

Lu Zhiyao sounded excited, and he said, “Yes, of course!”

Companies often boasted about investing a lot of money in their movies but ended up not investing much at all.

However, Boss Pei never played with semantics like that.
If he said he would invest three hundred million yuan, he would only go upwards from there.
That meant that the movie would be a huge production!

Boss Pei’s projects would definitely be good.
Even if Lu Zhiyao had to be paid less, he would still have to get involved.

Lu Zhiyao was looking forward to the project.
“Do you have a script, Director Zhu? Can you send it to me?”

Zhu Xiaoce remained quiet for a moment and then said, “Er… the script has a little way to go.
Why don’t you come to Jingzhou and help us brainstorm a little?”

Lu Zhiyao: “A little way?”

Zhu Xiaoce sounded resolute.
“Yes, just a little!”

After some consideration, Lu Zhiyao said, “Well, Director Zhu, will there be other actors in the film? Would Uncle Zhang and the rest be there?”

Zhu Xiaoce: “Er… it’s just you for now.
You’re the protagonist.
Other actors will be added in time.

For some reason, Lu Zhiyao had a funny feeling about the film.

However, on further thought, it was Boss Pei’s project after all.
There was no need to worry.

At once, he nodded.
“Alright, I’ll tidy up and be there in two days!”
