Game production: I created Mihoyo

The gaming community was boiling that night

#VGA nominations announced: Minecraft nominated for Game of the Year

#The first time in the history of Chinese games that a game is nominated for Best Game

#Minecraft, which was nominated for the best game of the year, was actually developed by Mihoyo, which has less than 100 people. Where is your shame?

At the same time, Mihoyo's official website also posted the invitation letter for the VGA.

The audience was even more excited.

"It’s really awesome. Mihoyo was only established this year, right?"

"I think Dashuo will go, right? I want to see Dashuo in formal attire."

"To be honest, this year's annual games are not very good. Minecraft has a good chance."

"《"Honkai Impact 3rd" just gave out 10 consecutive crystals, and"Minecraft" gave out 10 RMB tokens, Dashuo is so generous!"

The reason why Xu Shuo was @ed in the work group before was because"Minecraft" was nominated, and everyone was very excited.

Now he has another worry, he must go to the award ceremony, but the award ceremony day coincides with the day when the mihuyo sign is erected.

After thinking about it, he can only ask someone to help record the scene of that day.

**

On December 15, the 4th floor of the industrial park was finally decorated.

The decoration is not complicated and there is no need to worry about formaldehyde, so after a day of standing, everyone began to move.

With empty workstations, Mihoyo also officially started large-scale recruitment.

In addition to the necessary positions of programming, art, planning, there are also a series of cultural positions such as animation production, music production, and comic creation.

Because after the"Honkai Impact 3" project is officially launched, there will be a large number of animations, music, and even visual novels that need to be produced.

Instead of looking for outsourcing production at that time, it is better to recruit some people now and let Mihoyo be responsible for it.

This not only saves money, but also guarantees quality and progress.

In the workplace, there is generally a saying of"golden March and silver April", which means that March and April are good days for recruitment. During this period, many people have just received their year-end bonuses and are ready to jump jobs and run away.

In contrast, the one to two months before the New Year are bad days for recruitment. During this period, everyone has no intention of working and is ready to pack up and go home.

However, with the nomination for the best game of the year, Mihoyo has become a golden signboard in the game industry and has become very popular in the job market. Most people have begun to give priority to joining Mihoyo.

In this way, Mihoyo has absorbed a large number of outstanding talents, and all the previously scheduled matters have been carried out according to the original plan.

At this time, Xu Shuo had already boarded the flight to the United States. This time, he did not bring people from Mihoyo, but traveled with Shen Yin from Lushan Investment.

Shen Yin has to go back to Lushan’s headquarters to report on her work every December.

This time, when she happened to see that"Minecraft" was nominated for the best game of the year, she contacted Xu Shuo, hoping to go to the United States together, and she could be a translator and tour guide.

Xu Shuo didn't think much about it. He was worried that it would be a bit difficult to deal with the unfamiliar place there. The appearance of Shen Yin just solved this problem perfectly, so he readily agreed. It takes nearly 26 hours to fly directly from China to the United States, and the two of them started chatting when they were free.

Xu Shuo was still very curious about what Shen Yin was doing when reporting on her work, so he casually mentioned it.

"Sister Shen, what do you say in your performance reports?"

"How many companies have you invested in, what is the return rate of each company, and what are the plans for next year?"

"Wouldn't it be easy for Sister Shen?" Xu Shuo knew that Shen Yin was one of the top investors in Lushan Investment.

However, Shen Yin smiled and said,"It was easy before, but this year I made a mistake and lost a lot of money. The good things didn't make up for the bad things."

Xu Shuo was shocked:"What kind of company made Sister Shen fail?"

The corners of Shen Yin's mouth twitched noticeably.

"Your Mihoyo."

Xu Shuo:...

Her words made Xu Shuo silent, and the cabin was filled with awkward atmosphere.

Fortunately, Shen Yin took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.

She said with emotion:"I didn't expect that a few months ago Mihoyo was still a company that couldn't even take out two million, but now it has even been nominated for the best game of the year. Mihoyo has really stood up." Her words made

Xu Shuo recall every detail of the past few months. Among them, the difficult time was the development of"Honkai Impact 2". I wanted to make one dollar look like two dollars, but in the end I couldn't even take out the money for publicity and promotion.

He couldn't help but laugh:"Yes, Mihoyo has stood up"

**

After Xu Shuo arrived at the hotel in the United States, he fell into a deep sleep to adjust to the jet lag. During this time, he was awakened twice by gunshots.

He couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being the free United States, with gunshots every day.

After Shen Yin finished her report on the 19th, they strolled around the city. Xu Shuo appreciated the customs and practices of foreign countries and then returned to the hotel. At

8 pm on the 20th, Xu Shuo went to the VGA venue alone and sat in the front row under the guidance of the staff.

Everyone around him glanced at him. Xu Shuo greeted the people around him, and they were all very friendly in return.

However, no one took the initiative to come forward to communicate with him, and Xu Shuo was happy to be idle and just closed his eyes to rest.

At the same time, it was already 12:00 am on the 21st in China.

Mihoyo had a day off today, and everyone watched the VGA live broadcast in the company.

"I see Dashuo! He looks so handsome in a suit!"

"Why is Dashuo already sleeping? Too arrogant"

"It seems like we are the only Chinese manufacturer in the whole place, right?" At

12:30, with the sound of this year's game music medley, the VGA awards ceremony officially began!

A total of more than a dozen awards, big and small, will be presented at the VGA, and the Game of the Year is the finale award.

During the awards ceremony, big companies will also play new game trailers, performances, etc.

A full hour passed before the Game of the Year award was finally presented.

As usual, there was a music medley of the nominated games before the announcement, but this time everyone heard a background music clip of"The End Poem" in the music.

"Here it comes, the big one is coming"

"To be honest, VGA's music medley is really good!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the window, and someone ran to the window to take a look.

It turned out that the huge MiHuYo sign was placed on the ground, and many workers were busy around the sign, preparing to start erecting the sign.

**

VGA venue.

The host was saying:"The nominees for Game of the Year are"Resident Evil: The Last Choice"》，《The End of Dragonborn》，《Eternal Demon Sword》，《my world》"

The venue was completely silent, while the producers whose names were called swayed from side to side with excitement. Xu Shuo also sat up straighter.

The host looked around the venue and said,"This game of the year may not be satisfactory in terms of narrative, but its degree of freedom is beyond imagination. It provides us with a whole new world and redefines the 'sandbox' for us. This is why it won the award."

At this point, everyone had a name in their minds.

"It is——《my world》！"

"Let us congratulate Mi Huyou from China!"

There was thunderous applause in the venue. Xu Shuo gently adjusted his clothes and slowly walked to the stage. The producer who did not win the award slumped in his chair with a look of loss of soul.

All the Chinese who watched the live broadcast went crazy.

"Congratulations to Minecraft!!! Congratulations to Mihoyo!!!"

"Mihoyo is awesome! Send another ten consecutive times, Brother Dashuo!"

"Game of the Year!!! I thought I would never see Huaguo win this award in my lifetime?!"

Xu Shuo took the trophy from the host, and after giving a long-remembered acceptance speech, he raised the trophy in his hand to the camera! The crystal trophy shone brightly under the colorful lights around it.

Then he said in Chinese:

"Mihoyo stood up!"

** at the same time

""Boom~"

With a loud noise, the workers erected the huge MiHuYo sign downstairs of MiHuYo Company.

Under the strong sunlight at noon, the blue sign shone like crystal.

Su Rui turned off the video function of her mobile phone, stared at the MiHuYo sign and said softly

"Wow~ Mihoyo stood up."
