Chapter 393 Movie Schedule

Pei Qian went to the office in the afternoon first to review the progress of GOG’S development. Ma Yang had then sent the trial version of IOI over.

Dream Realization Ventures had shares in Finger Games and was their local agent after all. They would naturally obtain a trial version.

It was an English version, but Pei Qian relied on his level four proficiency and translation on Qiandu to understand most of it.

Boss Pei was more at ease after comparing the current versions of IOI and GOG.

There was an obvious gap!

IOI was not publicly tested previously, but they occasionally sent a few versions that were being continuously improved. Pei Qian saw it but had no clear idea of what stage the game was in.

The IOI in Pei Qian’s memory was already in a mature and perfect form. It was naturally awkward to look at IOI in its embryonic stage and was difficult to evaluate it objectively.

However, Pei Qian was roughly certain after knowing the reactions of the players during the trial.

The quality of the game itself had no problem. Its competitiveness in the current field, at least for now, was self-evident.

In contrast, GOG was far behind in terms of completeness.

Pei Qian did not know if that was because IOI was initiated earlier so its development was faster, or was it because Li Yada and the team were being lazy?

Pei Qian hoped it was the latter.

He had to say that once the Tengda Spirit compatibility test was out-not only did the mentality of the new employees change, but even the attitude of the old employees had also been greatly improved!

For example, the diehards of the Tengda Games department—who often worked overtime—had significantly reduced their frequency of overtime.

It seemed as though Li Yada and the rest were preparing to strategically abandon the first zero overtime competition.

Between completing their tasks and receiving their bonuses, they chose the former—which made Pei Qian feel a little regretful.

However, Li Yada and her team did not fall into a vicious cycle. They did not work harder during overtime because they were out of the zero overtime competition. Instead, they were trying to reduce the length of overtime and share of overtime each week.

That made Boss Pei very satisfied. There was a kind of joy that ‘the diehards finally got it’.

In any case, GOG seemed to be in good shape. It did not seem like a major problem to invest a few million yuan more in the future if there were extra money that he did not know what to do with.

The gap between GOG and IOI did not seem like something a few million yuan could solve after all.

Pei Qian felt a little relieved thinking about that. He continued to review his studies while looking forward to the dinner tonight.

Evening, Ming House…

“Boss Pei! How have you been!”

Several important members including Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyao received Pei Qian at the entrance of the hotel.

“What are you doing? It’s so cold. Hurry, get in.”

Pei Qian quickly led them in.

“I said this before: I have to do my part as the host since everyone came all the way to help me make a movie,” Pei Qian told everyone in a low voice before entering the restaurant.

“The reservation at the nameless restaurant is on the 20th, which is three days later. Let’s have another good meal then.

“Everyone please have fun in Jingzhou during these three days and have a good rest.

“Today’s meal is to celebrate the end of the filming

“The meal three days later is to wish that the movie would be a big hit in the box office!

“Therefore, even though the dinner tonight might not be that good, please don’t mind it and make do with it.”

Pei Qian’s words were to give everyone forewarning so that they were psychologically prepared for today’s meal while, on the other hand, trying to find a reason for two meals in a row.

The two reasons were legitimate and impeccable. There was no reason for the system to disagree.

Zhang Zuting smiled. “Boss Pei, you are too kind.”

“We joined in partly because of you. The good script and team of this movie were important factors as well.”

“Boss Pei’s script is good. If it were to sell out at the box office, the rest of us can bask in its light as well. We can’t thank Boss Pei enough!”

Everyone greeted each other and took their seats in the Ming House.

Li Shi was not here today. He seemed to have to settle something at the office.

However, he had already greeted him in advance. The branch manager knew Pei Qian. Moreover, they booked the entire place so it was natural for the branch manager to serve him eagerly.

Delicious food started emerging in no time.

Everything was normal with the dishes probably because he did not bring Little Tang with him today.

Everyone in the movie crew tasted the exquisite dishes and ate to their full. They were just a little confused.

Boss Pei said ‘make do with the food’. Was that being humble, or did he really feel that way?

If the standard of this place was not high, then what sort of high standards did the nameless restaurant possess?

The heroine Lin Ruyi could not help but clarify her doubts with Lu Zhiyao who was next to her since he had been there before.
