Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Publicity (Vote for monthly tickets!)
Hearing what Chen Yan had said, several of the veterans exchanged glances.
Then it was the "chubby phoenix" who spoke. "President Chen, do you have any ideas?"
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Actually... I don’t really have any ideas."
"Advertising is all about spending real cash after all."
"It just boils down to seeing how effective the spending is."
"We already have a suitable point for promotion, which is: Lu Man."
"I plan to visit the advertising departments of various major platforms in the next few days to see what their quotes are like."
Cheng Tianxiang, the most senior and experienced person in the company, stroked the few hairs left on his head and said worriedly, "Those big companies’ quotes aren’t cheap."
"They start at hundreds of thousands, or even millions."
"It’s almost as much as the game development cost."
Chen Yan slightly frowned and calculated the money he had on hand.
After the last meal with those actors, thanks to Boss Qiao Qiao, he had made 70,000 in wealth value. After withdrawing it all, his assets had unknowingly reached 2 million!
Half a month later, for the sake of filming progress and quality, he had been lavishly spending money.
So, even with Yu Qiao Qiao’s 10x buff.
He had only... made 20,000 yuan.
That is to say, he still had 2.02 million cash on hand.
This money would later have to cover staff salaries, server costs, voice actors’ fees, actors’ performance fees, and after subtracting all that, there wouldn’t be much left.
Therefore, directly shelling out hundreds of thousands or millions for advertising seemed a bit unrealistic...
Thinking this, he hesitantly said,
"Let’s hold off on this matter for now. After I get the quotes and work out a budget, we’ll discuss it again."
"Let’s talk about the progress in each responsible area first..."
Taking advantage of Chen Yan being free today, the bigwigs took turns updating their progress.
Cheng Tianxiang and another bigwig in charge of the main program had basically finished their part.
Since the game’s programming was relatively simple, their main task was the encryption and transmission of videos.
And last week, they had completed this part.
After testing with a demo, the video transmission and local decryption were both very stable.
Having heard this, Chen Yan specifically requested that they ensure the smooth operation of the servers and prevent players from being unable to play the game due to issues originating from their own company.
Next, the "chubby phoenix" also updated on the progress of video synthesis.
She had outsourced the video synthesis and the editing to a friend she knew well.
The finished product, which she had been keeping an eye on, was of very good quality.
Although the production speed couldn’t keep up with the filming speed, she believed that everything could be completed within half a month after filming was done!
After that, Chen Yan listened to the progress updates from the other bigwigs in turn.
The overall progress of the game was going very smoothly, which gave him a lot of confidence.
He felt that in less than a month, his game would be officially released.
However, this also made him feel an even greater sense of urgency...
Promotion, promotion.
The game was about to be launched, and the promotion had not been sorted out yet!
He really needed to speed things up!
After the meeting, Chen Yan gave the "chubby phoenix" a task to "first make a game poster, set up the game interface on STM, and do the preliminary warm-up," then he began contacting various websites’ advertising departments...
And the other bigwigs, after the meeting, also returned to their busy work.
What everyone failed to notice was... Yu Qiao Qiao, the invisible presence who had participated in the entire meeting, had meticulously recorded the discussions of the few people in her own meeting notes.
And seeing Chen Yan troubled over the advertising, she couldn’t help but draw a squiggly line under the word "promotion" and took note in her heart...
She was also part of the company and wanted to help the company and Chen Yan.
But... she didn’t understand this kind of thing.
What to do?
Did she know anyone who knew about this, someone she could ask....
...
Once a person gets busy, time always flies especially fast.
In the blink of an eye, the afternoon had passed.
In the evening, a little after 5 o’clock, Yu Qiao Qiao was still filling in the STM game data form for the "chubby phoenix" in front of her computer when suddenly, her phone started ringing.
Yu Qiao Qiao picked up her phone and saw the name "Lu Man" on the screen.
She quietly mentioned it to the "chubby phoenix" and then went to the rest area to answer the call.
Once the phone was connected, a listless voice came from the other end,
"Qiao Qiao~~ Come and save me~~~ I’m so bored."
Hearing Lu Man’s playful voice, Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but laugh, "Sister Man Man, this is the 18th time you’ve said you’re bored this month. I’m used to it now."
Lu Man said languidly, "Yeah. I never thought that filming this game would be so boring."
"I’m telling you, every time we finish shooting, I want to take off my high heels and poke that cameraman’s head!"
"Shoot, shoot, shoot! That’s all he knows! And he insists on specified actions!"
"If the action isn’t done perfectly, he demands a retake!"
"Can’t he give us actors a little space to perform?"
Yu Qiao Qiao covered her mouth and giggled, "Everyone’s going through the same. You’ll get used to it."
Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s laughter, Lu Man smacked her lips and said grumpily, "Forget it. I see through you, you’re on the side of your company, complaining to you is pointless."
"I might as well talk to Chen Yan instead."
Upon saying this, Lu Man’s tone shifted, "By the way, Qiao Qiao. I didn’t call you just to chat."
"I was thinking you wanted to learn about charity, volunteering, and journalism, right?"
"I don’t have a filming schedule tonight, and my friend asked me out for a drink."
"Do you want to come and have a chat?"
Yu Qiao Qiao was a bit hesitant, "But... Chen Yan doesn’t let me drink."
Lu Man said unconcernedly, "Don’t worry, you don’t have to drink. We won’t go out, just chat in my room for a bit, it won’t be long."
Hearing this, Yu Qiao Qiao immediately nodded, "Then sure, sure. I’ll come over now."
Saying this, she hesitated for a moment and said somewhat sheepishly, "Sister Man Man, actually, I have another matter I want to ask your advice on, to see if you have any ideas."
Lu Man replied readily, "We’ll talk about it when you get here, no rush."
...
After asking for time off and taking a ride,
Fifty minutes later, Yu Qiao Qiao arrived at the Sheraton Five-star Hotel.
When she reached the 17th floor and arrived at Lu Man’s room door, Yu Qiao Qiao knocked gently and called out softly, "Sister Man Man, I’m here."
After a moment, the door opened, and a woman dressed in an OL outfit, looking a bit intellectual, appeared at the door.
Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao, she sized her up and down and warmly smiled, saying, "You must be Qiao Qiao. Man Man is using the bathroom; come on in first."
Her voice was as melodious as that of an oriole.
"Thank you," Yu Qiao Qiao expressed her gratitude and then obediently entered the room.
Upon entering the room, she heard the sound of flushing from the bathroom.
Shortly after, Lu Man, wearing a black lace nightgown, came out of the bathroom.
She stretched lazily, and as she moved, the nightgown outlined her exquisite figure, causing even Yu Qiao Qiao, a woman herself, to stare in amazement....fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
