Director Lian looked at the private chat messages on the company's internal communication software and thought about it before he remembered who the person who was known as the coo secretary assistant was.
Come and try it quickly. 】
It turned out to be the tall woman I met occasionally when taking the elevator in the morning.
Okay, not familiar.
Infinite Entertainment is a building with a large number of employees. There are many people who have not interacted with each other and the supervisor will not remember it.
Including this secretary assistant.
But what did she just say?
dead space?
Director Lian frowned and replied.
[If it is for operational promotion, yes. ]
After tapping to send, Director Lian directly cut the screen and started his own work.
After all, she is not only working on one game, but also has many other projects in progress.
It can be said that being busy is not much easier than those developers.
But soon, the message tone sounded again.
The secretary replied.
Manager Lian clicked on it out of habit, and after just one glance, he was shocked by the content above.
[Okay, that’s the pity supervisor. We are preparing to enter into a business cooperation with Amagi Pictures and plan to change the protagonist of this game to an artist from their company. ]
[Currently, the company's coo is already in negotiation, so there is no big problem. Please arrange the requirements of Tiancheng Pictures and see what you need to do, or what they need to do. Please make a detailed excel sheet. If you have a quotation, please bring it with you. Thank you. ]
Director Lian couldn’t believe the news he saw!
what's the situation?
The company's top management has decided on the new protagonist of the only game?
Is the other party an artist affiliated with Tiancheng Pictures?
Do you want me to make a watch and arrange work?
Not a big problem?
Isn’t that big?
We, Infinity Online Entertainment, have no ownership rights at all!
What's going on at the top? ?
For a moment, Manager Lian had a headache.
She knew about the coo person. As a middle- and lower-level manager of the company, she had seen him every time he held a meeting.
At the meeting, his speeches were very constructive and developmental. Every report names the ways in which various projects can be profitable, which is highly appreciated by the CEO and Mr. Liang.
But now why does this person inexplicably decide the protagonist of "Dead Space"?
Did he communicate with Mr. Meng privately?
Thinking of this, Director Lian did not reply to the secretary's message, but directly dialed Mr. Meng's phone number.
Rather than just wondering here, it would be better to ask directly.
She didn't have the coo's number, so for convenience, she might as well ask Mr. Meng as close as possible.
This matter is urgent. I left a message on v-mail and didn’t have time to wait for a reply.
So calling is the fastest way!
Soon, the phone was connected.
A young voice that she had only seen once but was extremely familiar came from inside.
[Hello, Director Lian, what’s wrong? ]
Director Lian glanced at the internal information on the screen and went straight to the point.
"Hello Mr. Meng, may I ask, has the protagonist of your new work "Dead Space" been decided?"
[Um? ]
Mr. Meng on the other end of the phone was suspicious, and then replied,
[No, in fact, this game has not been officially developed yet. It is still early for the protagonist and so on, and there is no plan yet. Our company is currently busy making another game. ]
After Supervisor Lian heard this, he suddenly understood something.
She swallowed and asked softly again.
"So...has anyone else from our company contacted you?"
[Actually, I don’t know this either. You know, I get several calls a day on my cell phone. Now I don’t answer any calls from unfamiliar numbers or landline numbers, so I don’t know if there are any of you from Infinite Online Entertainment. ]
Upon hearing this, Director Lian's already uncertain heart suddenly became certain.
"So, you didn't get a call from our company about Dead Space?"
[no, what happened? ]
Manager Lian was stunned.
In just a few words, she understood that the company's top management had done something extremely wrong...
Taking ownership of their stuff without the consent of the only game...
However, there is still a chance to solve it now.
Before the senior management has reached an agreement with that film company...!
"Okay, Mr. Meng, I'm sorry to disturb you. We just have a routine inquiry. Thank you for answering despite your busy schedule."
"If you have any questions, please tell me and we will help. Okay, I won't disturb your work here. Goodbye, Mr. Meng."
Dudu——
Dudu——
In the office, Meng Shu looked at the hung up phone and frowned slightly.
Manager Lian's behavior today was a bit strange. She had never made such a nonsensical phone call before. It was really suspicious.
And when he hung up, he seemed to be in a hurry, as if he was afraid of staying too long.
What happened?
Mr. Meng frowned and glanced at the phone, but then relaxed and ignored it.
He still trusts Infinite Entertainment, which he has cooperated with for a year.
Thinking about it, he put down his mobile phone and began to devote himself to the production of the game.
At this time, Director Lian, who had just finished the phone call, asked the secretary assistant unceremoniously on the internal communication software.
[I just asked Mr. Meng that they have not received any notification about changing the protagonist of "Dead Space". They have not even started production of the game, let alone decided on the protagonist. What's going on? ]
[Also, please contact coo immediately and tell him that we have not obtained the consent of the only game now. I am worried that this will have an impact on our company and will also hinder his business! ]
After the message was sent, Director Lian began to wait for a reply.
This matter is very problematic and violates the contract with the only game.
There is no other company with such potential.
If this thing is done without being clear about it, then when something goes wrong, let alone whether UniGames will terminate the contract, Infinite Entertainment itself will not be able to escape the legal relationship.
So she is not in the mood to work now, and wants to finish this matter quickly!
Soon, the secretary replied.
The content made Director Lian immediately angry.
[This is your problem, you are the supervisor, the one in charge of the game. You have to arrange work and convey leadership opinions to the game development team. You ask me what's going on, how do I know? ]
What a word!
What I'm asking is why the coo makes decisions without telling me. I just said it a bit euphemistically. Don't you understand? ?
What you said this time is simply wrong. What does it have to do with whether I am responsible or not? ?
So Manager Lian typed again.
[We don’t have the copyright to that game at all, how to arrange it? ]
After typing to send, Manager Lian felt unreasonable in his heart.
Don’t the senior leaders know that the only game we have is a cooperative relationship?
We are their publisher, nothing more.
We just earn commissions from their games!
There is no copyright at all!
Soon, the message came again, with just four simple words on it.
[What's the meaning? ]
have to.
Manager Lian finally understood that the secretary did not know the relationship between Infinite Online Entertainment and the only game.
That's right, even the coo doesn't know, so this secretary doesn't need her to understand.
Maybe no one in the company knows about the relationship between the two companies except myself and Mr. Liang, right?
Just as Manager Lian was thinking this, the secretary sent another message.
The above content confirmed the facts that she did not understand.
[You mean, this pre-promotion game project is not from Infinite Entertainment? I looked up the company "Youyi Games" and I don't understand. If it's not owned by the company, then why did each of the previous games cost nearly 10 million in promotion fees? ]
Why?
Because it can make money!
Seeing this news, Manager Lian wanted to reply to her like this.
But when I think about asking, it will be very troublesome to explain. After all, if you want the other party to understand the value of the only game, it cannot be explained in a few words.
Just when Manager Lian was having a headache, the secretary sent another message.
The above content made Director Lian sigh after reading it.
[I want to know what was discussed when we first cooperated with Youyi Games. Why do we, as publishers, not have the copyright to our works? Please explain this problem and I will pass it on to the leader. ]
[In addition, since they have cooperated with Infinite Entertainment, it means that they are asking for help from us. Now that we have a cooperation with Amagi Pictures and ask them to change the protagonist of the game, do we also need their consent? ]
[You are the supervisor, please take charge of the corresponding responsibilities. Tell the people developing the game who is in charge. ]
After seeing these messages, Manager Lian stopped replying.
Instead, I took screenshots of all the messages and forwarded them to Mr. Liang to see what Mr. Liang had to say.
The rest is not up to her.
As for the secretary, she still didn't get a reply after two hours. She sent several messages to 'question' the supervisor.
But the result remained the same, which made her feel extremely unhappy.
Okay, you won’t cooperate, right?
Okay, then I will go and talk to that small company in person on behalf of the coo of Infinite Entertainment!
