Chapter 56 I’ve had enough of the life I once had

[Mr. Meng, what’s wrong with your horror-shooting style? Is there something wrong?]

Manager Lian asked suspiciously. She was very curious after hearing Meng Shu's laughter. She immediately thought there was something wrong with such a combination of types.

"No problem, I think it's pretty good. I'm sorry I'm a little out of sorts."

After Meng Shu finished laughing, he immediately returned to his usual expression.

He picked up his coffee, walked to the window, stared at the busy traffic below, and drank quietly.

[Really? In fact, I personally feel that there is nothing wrong with this type of genre, but it’s just a bit weird. People on the Internet also said that shooting games are mainly about relaxing and releasing stress, while horror games are based on your standards, they are scary and depressing. These two

The two are obviously in conflict with each other, so forcing them to be combined together seems a bit counterproductive to me.]

Manager Lian paused for a moment, but hesitated as soon as he said something.

But after thinking about it, I finally asked.

[After all, even you have never done this. Except for "Dark Forest", all the released games have chosen between shooting and horror.]

After Meng Shu heard this, he took a sip of coffee.

At this statement, he shook his head.

"Director Lian, this type of combination is indeed okay, so there is nothing to comment on. I laughed just now, but I just think their innovation is too late. Although it is a bit aimed at us, I personally admire the idea of ​​​​Jiyou

of."

As he spoke, he looked at the distant scenery, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with a dull expression.

"I hope they can make the game as scheduled. In this way, it can be considered a contribution to the game industry and promote the market of this horror game."

Manager Lian was stunned on the spot.

What is this nonsense?

As a boss, if you don't prioritize your own interests, how can you speak against your opponents?

[Mr. Meng, I don’t quite understand what you mean. Judging from the new games announced by Jiyou, they are unique combination innovations on the market. This alone has attracted the support of many players, which is great for us.

There is strong competition, which may affect the sales of your next game!]

Meng Shu raised his lips when he heard this.

"To be honest, as one of the top game manufacturers in China, if Giyu cannot even enter the horror market due to its own hard power, then I really think highly of them."

With that said, he sat back on the office chair and put down the cup.

"As for the sales problem, if it really affects them, it only shows that they are really capable. Let their works speak for themselves and win the reputation of players with the quality of their works. I have nothing to criticize."

Manager Lian was immediately dumbfounded.

She has always felt that Boss Meng was different.

But I didn't expect it to be so different.

People are targeting you secretly, but you still praise them for their abilities. Aren't you worried that their games will affect the sales of your next game?

If it were Mr. Liang of his own company, faced with this kind of thing, he might have asked the publicity department to announce the game content in advance to counterattack!

From the perspective of myself and others, no matter what, we must not allow our competitors the opportunity to seize market benefits.

Once they make a move, they must fight back immediately!

This is a businessman!

This is how you make money!

Therefore, Manager Lian sometimes really feels that Mr. Meng takes things too naturally.

However, since he entered the industry, he has always been eccentric, doing things that are niche and unpopular, and relying on his skills to forcefully promote the horror genre that no one cares about.

Therefore, this Mr. Meng is not the kind of person who only knows fantasy, but a person with real ability and vision.

So far, Manager Lian can't understand Mr. Meng's behavior.

Every time I communicate with him, I gain new insights.

[Mr. Meng, this is it. We don’t know about your new game yet, but you seem to be working on it. I would like to ask, can the combination of horror and shooting be realized in the next game?]

After a pause, she answered immediately.

[Our game studio at the Infinite Entertainment headquarters has rich experience in FPS development, so I would like to inquire whether it is possible for us to conduct a joint development. With your level of horror game production, plus our Infinite Entertainment's shooting game

experience to add such a mechanism to your next work?]

Hearing such words, Meng Shu refused immediately without even thinking about it.

"Director Lian, this is not a technical problem. Our company is the only one in the world that is doing VR. Our game engine took ten years to develop. We have strong technical capabilities. Don't worry, so there is no need for joint development."

"Our first two VR games didn't have a combat system. It's not because it couldn't be done or because it was difficult. It was because we didn't want to do it because we didn't want the combat to ruin the overall atmosphere and rhythm of the game."

"However, my next game will also include a shooting mechanism, but I haven't announced it yet. Consumers don't know about it, including you."

Manager Lian was startled for a moment after hearing this.

The other end of the phone opened his mouth, thought about it, and sighed slightly.

[Mr. Meng, since your development team can do it, we should announce the news as early as possible. As a result, Techgame has taken the lead and gained the players’ expectations first. Since we have had this innovative idea for a long time, we should first

That’s right.]

After Meng Shu heard this, he shook his head.

He felt very pitiful.

In this parallel world, both horror and shooting can become an ‘innovation’.

This shows how poor the subject matter in this industry is.

There are obviously two types that already exist, but just combining them together creates a new style?

After Meng Shu heard the news, in addition to laughing, he was also a little sad.

Laughing, I am laughing at the backwardness of this industry. It is really ridiculous that combination types can become innovations.

It's sad, it's sad about the development of this industry. Over the past few decades, we don't even know this. It's really sad.

Regarding the skewed development of this industry, Meng Shu did not intend to lead it even if he had the system and the ideas of the original world.

Meng Shu believes that if he wants to engage in ‘innovation’, he can do it easily.

Have people in this world seen zombies?

Do you know about Alien?

Have you ever experienced driving a mecha?

Have you ever enjoyed the feeling of traveling in the universe?

No.

So when it comes to ‘innovation’, Meng Shu can do it casually.

But he is just an ordinary person, and he cannot be the savior of this industry.

He just wants to play games and make money in this world so that he can be carefree for the rest of his life and enjoy his old age in peace.

He no longer wants to experience the overt and covert fights in the business world, nor does he want to have to worry about the company's market value profits, nor does he want to participate in dinner parties where intrigues and intrigues are hidden behind the scenes.

Now, he runs a small company and plays niche games, which is comfortable, relaxed and stable.

Why can't you think about competing with other companies for this or that?

Haven't you had enough of the kind of life you had in the past?

No, he has had enough.

"Director Lian, let me tell you this. I make games just to entertain players. I don't want to compete with other manufacturers, and I don't have any idea. So it's good for you to announce it first, but it doesn't matter to me.

"

"Moreover, it is a good thing for domestic companies to innovate."

"In recent decades, the development of horror games has been unsatisfactory. Both at home and abroad, everyone is following the trend and making mainstream guns, cars, and ball games. Even RPGs are rarely seen, which shows that most manufacturers just want to make quick money. It is difficult for domestic companies now

I have my own ideas and my own innovations. It is also the only game for domestic companies. Even if they have something to say, as long as it contributes to this industry and can drive the market forward, then I really have nothing to say.”

"Although I am an entrepreneur, I am also a player. From a player's perspective, I just hope that the entire game industry will flourish and be colorful, instead of being monotonous and deserted."

"This is also the reason why I focus on horror games instead of following the trend of shooting games and other genres. After all, other manufacturers will do it, and I don't want to compete with them."

"but."

Meng Shu paused for a moment, watching the monkey in the computer developing the engine, and his tone gradually became colder.

"As a leading domestic technology game company, if this new game tries to make a fool of itself and make a pure shooting game under the guise of a horror game, or it could be a shooting game mixed with the junk horror games from the past.

If so. Sorry, a combination of terror and shooting."

".I want it."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Shu picked up the coffee again and took a sip.
