Chapter 383 Group turmoil

The leaderless group interview is also called a group interview. It is a common interview part of university club interviews and recruitment interviews. The core key is to unify the thinking and come up with a group plan.

Whether an individual's role in the group is beneficial to teamwork, whether he contributes to the team, and whether he can exert his own competitive advantage has become one of the keys to passing the group interview.

This kind of group interview was the interview method that Mei Fang hated the most in his previous life, because as a two-dimensional otaku, he was really shy and introverted, and he was often so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly in this kind of session where everyone expressed their opinions.

And in fact, in sessions like this, whoever shows the stronger side often becomes the opinion leader easily, regardless of whether the reason is sufficient or not.

Ordinary people like Mei Fang in his previous life are more likely to choose to compromise because they are afraid of making mistakes, and are coerced by the team to cater to the team's ideas, resulting in their own talents not being displayed at all, which also makes his subsequent career planning a mess.

I couldn't get into a big, powerful factory to show my talent.

This time, I decided to re-attend the interview on the spur of the moment. In addition to reviewing my past experiences, I also wanted to make up for my frustrations and see where I fell short in the first place.

After a short preparation, Mei Fang's group was divided. There were seven people in the entire group, all of whom came to interview for the position of game planner. The gender distribution was 4 men and 3 women. Everyone spent two minutes each at first.

He had time to introduce himself, mostly talking about his name, school, and favorite games. When Mei Fang started to introduce, he also stood up and spoke:

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Ming. I am a freshman majoring in game design at Pengcheng University. I usually play a lot of games. I have been designing some game DEMOs since I was very young."

Mei Fang paused, and then continued with a trouble-making attitude, "I am a huge fan of Yuan Bao and Da Miss. I have been chasing them since they first debuted!"

Although Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi are now very well-known public figures, they are the bosses of this company after all. Although a few mentioned the Big Three when they were introduced before, almost no one dared to express their love so directly. More

It was a kind of admiration and respect, so Mei Fang's speech quickly attracted everyone's attention.

This guy... really plays himself as the webmaster!

Of course, the interviewers did not directly express their opinions on these. The HR responsible for the interviews, Cheng Zi, came to the conference table and used a small projector to show everyone the topics of this group meeting——

[If Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment’s start-up work “The Stupid Bird Flies First” wants to launch a sequel, where do you think it needs to improve its gameplay to have a chance to replicate the success of the first generation? 】

"The Stupid Bird Flies First" is a debut work that Mei Fang started researching in elementary school, but it was not officially released until junior high school. This work started in the early days of the smartphone era, and ultimately earned Mei Fang nearly 2 million yuan in revenue.

"The Stupid Bird Flies First" can be said to be the earliest bread and butter of Station C. Expensive bandwidth costs and operation and maintenance expenses of Station C were almost entirely earned from this work and Mei Fang's football lottery in the early days. Through Mei Fang's interview, I got to know Mei Fang

After its history of making a fortune and becoming famous, "The Stupid Bird Flies First" also has a high status in Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment.

Of course, the stupid bird flying first has been popular for several years. In order to help some newcomers who have not done their homework in time understand the work, Chengzi briefly demonstrated the gameplay of the stupid bird flying first. Of course, it is still very simple and easy to use, so it does not require more

See more, everyone was given 5 minutes to think freely.

As soon as Cheng Zi finished speaking, everyone started burying their heads in writing down things on paper. For his debut work, Mei Fang naturally had nothing to take notes on. He was currently observing the performance of the team members and interviewers.

Most of the people had obviously done their homework in advance. They took a look at the topic and started to make a tree diagram from below. Only two girls were still carefully watching the video demonstration of the stupid bird flying first, while Cheng Zi was walking around the interviewing interns.

Walking in circles, it was like observing everyone's steps and ideas. When I arrived at Mei Fang, I found that he was turning his pen and looking at others in a daze, which made me feel surprised.

Isn't this little brother... not nervous at all? Isn't it too much to be unprepared... Or is he still too nervous? I don't understand...

Chengzi was surprised at Mei Fang's immobility. At this time, two other interviewers came to the scene. One was Xiye, the current chief designer of Yuanxi Interactive Coconut Juice Studio, and the other was Jiang Cheng.

The young lady Bai Ge was recruited from the Times to do administrative personnel work. As soon as they came in, Cheng Zi handed the resume she received to her senior Bai Ge.

Bai Ge took a look at the resumes, compared them, and suddenly wondered in a low voice: "Why did I only receive 6 resumes?"

"Sorry, Sister Bai Ge, there is an interviewer who forgot to bring his resume..."

After hearing this, Bai Ge immediately pulled Orange aside and shouted:

"If you don't bring your resume, you can print it directly here. Why didn't you print it at the beginning? Have you confirmed that it's the person whose resume was screened? What if it's a interviewer?"

"Ah, this..."

Cheng Zi scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Sister Bai Ge, I didn't think it through properly... I think he was quite anxious, so I asked him to prepare for the written test and interview first..."

"You are too casual. It is very hard for us to screen resumes. How much labor cost are you wasting like this, huh?"

"I'm sorry...Sister Bai Ge, I will definitely pay attention next time."

Chengzi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Should I wait until the group interview is over before confirming that classmate's resume?"

Xiye kept frowning and staring at Mei Fang's back while the two interviewers were muttering. This familiar feeling made him couldn't help but step forward to observe. When his eyes met with Mei Fang's, they looked at her.

After Mei Fang took the initiative to make a silent gesture while holding her chin, she immediately hurried over to greet the two of them.

"No, no need to confirm..."

"Do you know him?"

Baige asked doubtfully.

"You will know after you take a look for yourself..."

Xiye wiped his face, then tilted his head and looked at the HR interviewer Chengzi who was standing aside and shook his head, "Didn't you confirm his identity immediately before you saw him?"

"Ah? I, there are a lot of people here..."

After a while, Bai Ge also met Mei Fang's eyes. When she finally came back, her face was pale with fright. She, who had always been calm and capable, was now so worried that she could not walk steadily.

"Bai, Sister Bai Ge...what's wrong?"

Bai Ge held his forehead and sighed, "It seems that during the induction training, I really asked you to remember the faces of the Big Three..."

Chengzi, who had met and talked with Baige Xiye, had completely changed her demeanor when she came back. It was obvious that something had happened that made her feel very scared, and even her voice felt a little trembling.

"Okay, okay... time is up. Now is the 10-minute free discussion session. Everyone can speak freely."

"I'll go first!"

A boy who looked very lively immediately came up to speak, "Generally speaking, leaderless group discussions need to control the time, so I will be a timekeeper and record everyone's speaking time to avoid exceeding too much.

, affects other people’s speeches, let’s see if you have any opinions?”

This interview was also the first for many freshmen. Everyone just looked at each other for a while and immediately expressed their approval. Then came the verbal battle with each other. Everyone first made speeches in order to express their opinions.

, and the additive design is carried out around the gameplay design of the stupid bird flying first.

Mei Fang first stared at everyone, and then found that Cheng Zi, who was still enthusiastic and cheerful, was standing with his head lowered, wiping his eyes from time to time as if she was crying, so he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and played with Bai Ge in the work group.

Xiye and Chengzi both got involved and sent messages.

[Don’t put so much pressure on me. I’m not here to inspect your work results. I just want to experience an interview on a whim. Just treat me like an interviewer!]

[Actually, I think Chengzi has done a pretty good job. He is very enthusiastic and proactive towards the students who come to participate in the interview, which is very consistent with our humanized corporate culture of Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment! Okay, don’t talk about her! Come on.emoji]

Bai Ge on the side saw the message on her phone and immediately pulled Cheng Zi aside to show it to her. When Cheng Zi looked at Mei Fang in surprise, Mei Fang smiled and said hello to her with her eyes, which also made Cheng Zi look at her.

Orange felt a sense of relief.

call……

What did I do ah ah ah ah ah ah...

It would be fine if he were the CEO of another company.

Our boss had all the posters up a while ago, why didn’t he recognize it directly?

Chengzi obviously never thought that the big boss Mei Fang would come to work, and he couldn't react at the first time.

Finally, it was Mei Fang's turn to stand up and speak. As the last speaker, although he had acted a little distracted just now, he also clearly reviewed the views of the first six people.

"I think everyone has their own reasons for what they say. Improve the performance in terms of art, change the leather packaging to a more fashionable style, and add various props, gameplay and level elements. These additions can indeed improve the quality of the product to a certain extent.

But I hope to provide you with a new perspective.”

"That's the development time and core success point of "The Bird Flies First."

"This work was created in an era when smartphones were just born. Social apps such as Must Die were just emerging on the international platform. Everyone was eager to show themselves on social platforms or find a common topic."

"And "The Stupid Bird Flies First" is essentially such a product that emerged at the right time - it is actually hardly a game with deep gameplay, and it should be said to be a kind of social software."

"This type of helicopter game has actually been active since the Saipan era. In terms of gameplay, it only took advantage of the sharing loopholes of social platforms to become popular directly."

"But it has been three years now, and the current Internet platform is no longer the era of scarcity in the past. We do not deny that there will be social games with different gameplay in the future, but the game type of "The Bird Flies First+" can really be revived

Is it becoming popular? I think there should be a question mark on this topic..."

Before Mei Fang finished speaking, one of the boys immediately aroused dissatisfaction. He stood up and said:

"I have actually thought of this classmate's point of view, but I hope you won't get the attention of the interviewers by disagreeing with everyone. The premise of our topic this time is the plan and strategy for the sequel to "The Bird First Flies", not

Whether there should be a sequel to "The Bird Flies First", I think this is not an issue that should be discussed in a leaderless group discussion..."

"Leaderless group discussion itself is a kind of brainstorming, but if the argument itself is not sufficient, I think it can be questioned. Now we are not employees of Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment, but have you ever thought about it, if your superiors give you

Even if a task is arranged that you think is impossible to complete, you still have to do it with all your strength. Are you satisfied if it is done to the extent that your superiors think it is OK?"

"I--"

"Two students, please calm down now. It's time for everyone to express their opinions. Now is a completely free discussion."

The boy in charge of timing interrupted the two people's statements and continued, "Although the topic this time is indeed based on "The Bird Flies First 2" as the starting point, after listening to Zhang Ming's speech, I also had the same idea."

"Actually, when I was doing some calculations just now, I was also thinking that even if this kind of gameplay is added, the core essence is still a kind of jumping fun. To be honest, the IP of "The Bird Flies First" has limited appeal for us, let alone

It can be said that at that time, it actually suffered from polarized criticism in the market as to whether it was a game or not."

At this time, a girl stood up and spoke, "But isn't this to overturn all the results of our previous discussions? Giving a report is to tell the interviewer that we have no way to make "The Birds First 2" popular?"

Mei Fang nodded warmly, "Have you never encountered this kind of situation in university group interviews before? The group interview questions given by the society are themselves a trap, and it does not mean that you must give answers that suit the topic."

"Let's put it this way... I did encounter a similar situation when I was interviewing for the Heart Association..."

Another girl with glasses thought for a while, "Actually, I also think that the success of "The Bird Flies First" is difficult to replicate. So, does this mean that we should give a negative answer and submit it to the interviewers like this?"

"Of course not. The key point that I pay attention to at work is that when expressing doubts about a plan, you must come up with a new plan to compensate. Otherwise, your superiors will only think that you are looking for trouble."

While Mei Fang was talking, the boy who had been opposing him also stood up and said, "Yes, that's what I mean... everyone just denies the point of view without proposing a new compensation plan. Then when reporting to the interviewer

, doesn’t it look very pale and feeble?”

"So, I think we can still make "The Bird Flies First 2", but everyone's thinking should not be limited to adding on the basis of the first generation. In fact, we can directly take the core selling points of the first generation and completely subvert the original performance.

Wouldn't it be more interesting to just make a "Bird Flies First 2" with a completely different style?"

Okay, the changes are done.
Chapter completed!
