Chapter 168 Honorary Member
After making "Warcraft", Chen Mo stopped kryptoning money because the later "The Legend of the Martial Arts" and "Onmyoji" are not particularly difficult to do, so there is no need to improve his abilities.
If it is a large MMORPG or a large stand-alone game, it not only requires Chen Mo to fully improve his abilities, but also recruit people.
Chen Mo's configuration is basically the least number of people, one creator, one assistant, one plot, and one value. It's okay to make a relatively simple mobile game like "Onmyoji", but it would be too difficult to make a large RPG.
In fact, it was already very difficult to do "Warcraft" before, but fortunately, most of the contents of "Warcraft" can be completed directly with a map editor, so it is not as difficult as a large RPG, and Chen Mo's small team can barely complete it.
Therefore, if Chen Mo wants to develop large-scale games in the next step, he has to expand his team. If he expands this time, he may have to expand about 20 people.
If we consider that there is a dedicated person responsible for art quality, animation CG, music sound effects, personnel management, game operation, etc., the number of people will be even greater.
Chen Mo is planning on the computer, thinking that it is more appropriate to recruit people.
There is no need to say much about the treatment of Thunder Interactive Entertainment. After hearing that "Onmyoji" has made a lot of money and Chen Mo gave each of his assistants 18 months of bonus, countless people have already asked how to join Thunder Interactive Entertainment. As long as Chen Mo posted a recruitment inspiration on Weibo, a large number of people will definitely come crying and shouting.
At this moment, Chen Mo's phone rang, a number he didn't recognize.
Chen Mo answered: "Hey, hello?"
The opposite said: "Hello, is it Mr. Chen Mo? I am the Minister in charge of game culture of the Tourism Committee, and my name is Qiao Hua."
Chen Mo was shocked, Travel Commission? Minister?
Needless to say, the Tourism Committee is the relevant department in charge of the entire game industry. Qiao Hua is the minister and the middle-level leader. Why did he call himself in person?
Chen Mo said: "Hello, Minister Qiao."
Qiao Hua's voice is more elegant and polite, and he has no airs at all: "Mr. Chen Mo last developed "The Legend of the Martial Arts" won the first prize. This time, the mobile game "Onmyoji" you developed was a great success again. Congratulations, and thank you for your contribution to the development of the game industry."
Chen Mo hurriedly said, "I dare not take this."
Qiao Hua didn't have much greetings, and quickly turned to the topic: "That's right, Mr. Chen Mo. Given your contribution to Chinese style games, after discussion by the Tourism Committee, we have basically determined to list you as an honorary committee member, and your rating is already an A-level designer."
Chen Mo: "Uh..."
Qiao Hua smiled: "Maybe you don't know what the honorary committee means. That's right. The Tourism Committee regularly attracts some excellent designers to become honorary committee members every year, and does not have to be responsible for any work, just a name."
"This time I invited you mainly to the fine games you made. You don't need to be responsible for the specific work. If you have the opportunity in the future, you may arrange some activities for you, such as going to school and giving lectures to students in game design majors."
Chen Mo hurriedly said, "I'm busy with this often and may not have much time."
Qiao Hua said: "It doesn't matter. I will communicate with you in advance and arrange your time. I will call you today and say it in advance and ask what you mean by the way."
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Can I consider this?"
Qiao Hua smiled and said, "Of course, this matter is completely voluntary. You can ask other designers and decide whether to join."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo was also a little confused.
Originally, he thought that the story of "The Legend of the Warriors" had been over, the trophy had been issued, and the recommended position had been given, so the matter should come to an end.
As a result, the Tourism Committee actually invited itself to be an honorary committee member? What the hell is this?
Judging from common sense, this is definitely a good thing, but Chen Mo is not sure, mainly because it will affect his normal work?
Chen Mo was not sure, so he decided to call Lin Mao to ask.
Lin Mao was also confused: "Ah? Honorary Committee Member? I don't know if you ask me! I am just an ordinary C-level designer, how can I know this kind of thing?"
Chen Mo was helpless and thought about it for a long time after hanging up the phone. He really couldn't think of who to ask.
For large companies like Dichao Interactive Entertainment and Zen Interactive Entertainment, there must be someone who is an honorary committee member in the Tourist Committee, but Chen Mo and these two companies are not very good at dealing with each other.
After thinking about it, Chen Mo slapped his forehead, yes, Qiu Hengyang!
After all, he is also the founder of Hengyou.com, maybe Qiu Hengyang knows something.
Chen Mo called Qiu Hengyang.
Qiu Hengyang was a little surprised: "Chen Mo? You have been in the limelight recently. Why did you remember to call me?"
Chen Mo said: "That's right. I want to ask you what position is the honorary committee member of the Tourism Committee? Is it necessary to join?"
Qiu Hengyang was stunned for a moment: "Honorary Committee Member? Isn't that the list will not be made until the end of the year?"
Chen Mo said: "I don't know either. Today, Minister Qiao from the Tourism Committee told me that I have basically confirmed that I can join, but I haven't agreed yet."
Qiu Hengyang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Agree! What's there to hesitate about this!"
Chen Mo said speechlessly: "I don't know what the honorary committee member is going to do, so how could he agree to it in one go?"
Qiu Hengyang said: "You don't know how many people are trying to compete for this honorary committee member, but you still have to consider it?"
Chen Mo said: "Is that true?"
Qiu Hengyang was amused and laughed: "Yes! Because I am also an honorary committee member, I know. Let's put it this way, the honorary committee member is equivalent to the official recognition of you, and it will be beneficial to your future game review and promotion. And when you reach A-level and S-level designers, you will get a lot more resources for developing VR games. In short, you agree first, that's right."
Chen Mo understood and nodded, "So that's it, okay, no problem."
Qiu Hengyang reminded: "You must not push this honorary committee member. I tell you, if you push it, it will be difficult to think about it next time."
Chen Mo: "Okay, don't worry."
Qiu Hengyang: "Then let's do it first. We will be honorary members of the Tourism Committee in the future. Please take care of us in the future."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo also decided that since this is a good opportunity, he would accept the status of an honorary member.
After all, in the future, he will play large-scale games, and many of them are related to guns, car balls, fighting, killing, and maybe he will get involved in some violent factors. When submitting for review, he will inevitably have to deal with the people of the Travel Commission. Since that is the case, it is better to join from the beginning.
"After that being said, I'm already an A-level designer?"
Chapter completed!
