Chapter 74

The game producers of Shenjia are basically trained by themselves, perhaps many game companies in Neon Country are like this.

There is also a phenomenon among the game player group, which is well-known to Neon Game producers, while Europa and Armerica know the team and project team well and are familiar with each other.

Because there are also differences in game development concepts in the East and the West, the former uses the entire team to serve the producers to create, so basically neon games will have very distinct personal characteristics.

Another is to rely on producers to condense the wisdom of the team, so that every developer can come up with his own ideas and creativity, and choose the right one from many alternatives. Many times, producers also play the role of project managers.

In Neon Country, game producers often have the supreme power to speak in a project team, and there is even an unwritten system here, the producers' lifelong system.

You can often see a producer working in a company for decades until his whole life. His life and hard work are integrated with the company. His success and fame have become a very important asset for the company.

Under this system, on the one hand, the producers can create without worries, without worrying about being fired and laid off, their personal interests are protected and their enthusiasm for work is enhanced.

At the same time, the company has almost no need to worry about being affected by job change. It can be assured to hand over important projects to them, give them rights, and even package game producers to make them famous idols and be sought after by the whole people, which can also drive game sales.

Therefore, based on this premise, it is still a bit shocking that Shintani Kuan is calling for "outside" to find new game producers to develop games for the company.

Because what is more obvious is that the "outside" he mentioned does not even refer to the local area of ​​Neon Country, but within a wider range.

It is not easy to accept a big brother who has had glory and traditional giants like Shenjia, who has just celebrated his fiftieth birthday.

In other words, in addition to technical strength, Neon Kingdom has gone from a global game overlord to a gradual loss of voice, isn’t it also an important reason for its self-inspired thinking?

The audience was silent, and the ministers of other departments were silent and were as silent as dead. They were thinking to themselves that this Shingu Kuan was so brave.

Even the president, Ichizumi Okawa, was silent for a while before saying, "So do you have a candidate?"

Don't rush to express your opinion. At least you can let this confidant trained by yourself explain it first. After all, no one has spoken now.

Shintani Kuan bowed quickly: "Hi! There are three people at present!"

"Then let's listen."

Shintani Hiroshi didn't need to read the information at all, and said directly: "The first one is Ian Levin, the producer of the "City of Time and Space" series. His "City of Time and Space: Sky" was released in March last year. It has a good reputation, but its sales are only 130 million meters. The total cost of game development and promotion was 180 million, which directly led to the dissolution of his Rationnel studio. He is currently in contact with several companies including Alita's parent company T2 Group and is seeking the opportunity to form a new team."

"130 million meters?" Ichixiong Okawa almost wanted to slap the table again. Can a producer who spends money and breaks the studio? Can such a person also recommend it?

When Shenjia was in his glory, he was not short of money. The highest cost game they have so far is called "Mirror Moon", which costs 78 million meters, and in 1999, the 78 million at that time had a much higher purchasing power than the current 130 million.

The result was a complete death. Not only the game, but many people now believe that the death of "Mirror Moon" was not only DreamFire, the game console of Shenjia at that time, also included the company itself.

After that, Shenjia withdrew from the front line, and the entire game industry also underwent earth-shaking changes.

"But Ian Levin's game has a very strong occult atmosphere, and he is good at creating a virtual world that makes players extremely addicted to. The script creation is his core competitiveness, and the logic is particularly rigorous. Countless players have carefully studied his time and space paradox and cannot find loopholes. The entire series of "City of Time and Space" has a good reputation, especially "Sky", where mainstream media scores are generally above 9 points, and they have also been nominated for the best game of the year last year."

"Next." Ichixiong Okawa waved his hand directly.

"The second person is Park Sung-tae."

"Goryeo?"

Ichixiong Okawa doesn’t understand why he recommends a Korean.

The Koreans don’t play console games, and the Korean companies don’t do them. They are all addicted to e-sports and kimchi online games all day long, so why would they nominate a Korean game producer to develop games for Shenjia?

Shintani Hiroshi replied: "Yes, he was an original artist at the beginning, known for his character and details. He is a representative figure among the Middle Zodiac illustration design masters. His style is unique and there are many imitations around the world, both in the East and the West. He served as the artistic director of Delaney's first-party Sea God Studio. He also participated in two projects before returning to Goryeo as a producer. He is very familiar with the development process of the console game and our neon team. His "Sword Soul OL" has been developed and has not decided on his next work plan yet."

“So his core competitiveness is artistic expression?”

"Yes, not many people can compete with him in this regard."

"What about the third one."

"The third one is Lu Qi, who is a Chinese game producer. He has been in the industry for three years, but as a producer, his cumulative sales of all games have reached nearly 15 million copies."

"It's the one who made "Soul", right? What is his core competitiveness?" Speaking of this, Brother Xiong is more familiar with it. This is a product that was launched on the same day as "Son of Light", so it's hard not to pay attention to it.

Shintani Hiroshi's answer was: "It is not clear that it is clear yet...it is mainly because the number of works is too small and the style changes too much, but what is certain is that his works have never failed."

An obvious fact is that starting from "Soul", Lu Qi, as a game producer, has truly entered the vision of R&D giants.

Independent games often seek creativity and highlights, and sometimes it is also a coincidence, which coincides with the market at that time. Even if they succeed, there are too many accidental factors and it is difficult to copy.

It is all a low-probability event, not the right way, and the number of players is no longer on the same level. Otherwise, why should big companies invest huge amounts of money to make large-scale games?

But starting from the game "Soul", Lu Qi began to have a unique game style recognized by the industry. It was not just a success achieved by the low probability, but by the accumulation of strength of the game and the producer itself.

...

...

The next day was Sunday. Lu Qi sneaked into Tsinghua University early in the morning. He changed into a plaid shirt and jeans, put on a baseball cap, and walked on campus without any abruptness.

Xie Xile has returned to Qiantang. Everyone is a game producer, but he doesn’t have more time to waste time with him.

After having a "partner" with Chen Shouren yesterday, Lu Qi invited her to have a street barbecue to thank her. It was not that he was stingy, but that he was mainly enjoying the street atmosphere.

While Xile said that he was kind and revenge, he also took high-calorie food in the middle of the night and was having a lot of fun. However, the taste was a bit difficult to harmonize. Xie Xile was so spicy that Lu Qi felt sweet when he tasted it.

Starting from the AI ​​laboratory, to game research and development, and to the market environment, both of them shared a lot.

Speaking of Xie Xile's "Chang'an Chaos", she said that during the market research, she found that players' emphasis on game quality seems to have reached an unprecedented level.

Even in the field of online games.

Including Tianhai's "Shan Hai Jian", the flow of water has begun to show a relatively obvious downward trend. Tianhai is also opening up more payment points to explore the depth of payment for players, but the headache is that it has become much more difficult to obtain users.

She pressed the culprit's hat on Lu Qi's head.

This is not extreme. After Forty-Two appears, it seems to be showing to domestic players that the domestic team also has the ability to make the attribute "fun".

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After you have tried, experienced, and tasted it, you will easily lose interest in a large number of homogeneous assembly line content in the original market environment.

On the other hand, those players who play Forty-Two games are also influencing the people around them.

Even if it is not so advocating...contempt.

It is not uncommon for online game players and stand-alone players to criticize each other online now. The contempt chain originally exists. Speaking of which, Forty-two was forced to become an accomplice. It is not very nice, but this is also inevitable.

Some players may try it, which does not mean that they will become stand-alone players. Online games are sometimes a must-have. After all, they have endless fun fighting with others, but they will definitely have higher requirements for the games they play.

In short, the attributes of domestic players have really begun to change.

...

For a producer or a normal person’s basic idea, if a problem arises, you must first find the real cause and then analyze how to solve the problem based on the cause.

Chen Shouren said that he just wanted to change the environment, but Lu Qi could hear it was the truth.

For such high-level technical talents, sometimes money will become a standard that is not the first consideration. It may be the future development space, the size of the stage, the right to speak, and the level of work comfort. If it is a little bigger, it will have a more profound impact on the world.

Which kind of Chen Shouren is?

To change the environment, when dealing with this keyword, Lu Qi could only look for it from both work and life, and had the idea of ​​leaving his motherland. Some major changes must have happened. It is not just the degree of unhappiness and minor setbacks, but it should not be concealed by others.

So I first came to the Human-Machine Institute in Tsinghua and Peking University, the full name is the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.

Lu Qi took out a set of blue vest from his backpack and put it on. This color has a professional job flavor.

He took out a cardboard box, walked to the front desk of the institute, and greeted the receptionist in kind: "Good morning, Xiao Min, please call Professor Chen Shouren for me, his express delivery."

The receptionist at the front desk was a girl of the same age as Lu Qi. She was quite handsome and had a bit thick eyebrows. She looked like she was surprised and she was always surprised: "Which express delivery company do you come from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Have you heard of Jumei Tianxia, ​​a new platform that we just founded? Don't look at the fact that we just started it, and the background is great. E-commerce companies have their own express delivery departments."

"Oh, that's a bit amazing, and you can also deliver express delivery by yourself."

"No, it has its own warehouses in all major cities across the country. It can be delivered directly on the same day. This is our core competitiveness."

It is the core competitiveness again, and there is no end to competition every day.

"Then how do you know my name?" Xiao Min asked.

"Old Li told me."

"The old Li you are talking about is... Li Gang? Didn't he resign half a year ago?" The little girl tilted her head.

"Then I'm not quitting. I just don't want to give it to you anymore. There are too many orders and I have to deliver them to the recipient one by one. Who would like to do it?"

"No, he said his family had been demolished, didn't he go to enjoy life?"

"Hey, there are so many demolitions in our capital now. They are all mainly beauty transformations. He just dreams every day and just make up a reason. You believe it. You are so easy to cheat as a simple and beautiful girl like you."

This made Xiao Min feel happy, especially from a handsome guy of the same age who she also thought was good-looking.

"But today Sunday, Professor Chen is not here, why don't you call him and take him to his house?"

Lu Qi skillfully took out the pen and blinked, "You can sign it for me directly. I'm too lazy to go there. There are still seven or eight items in the morning."

The little girl waved her hand and shook her head: "I don't know if what we have stipulated is important. I don't dare to touch many instruments and equipment sent from abroad!"

"Then ask Director Wang to come out and sign for him?"

"What are you doing?" the little girl said angrily: "Just take a courier, why do you still have to ask the director to come out?"

"Why can't it work? Are their relationship bad? Oh, it seems that there is a bit of such a rumor... but the leader is also a colleague. It's so normal to help get a courier and it can ease the relationship. Just think of doing me a favor. I'll thank you Minmin."

He was disgusting and Minmin shouted.

The little girl hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. Director Wang and Professor Chen have a good relationship. They often make appointments to go out for tea. Where did you hear the news?"

"I heard from my colleagues that their relationship was deteriorating, so Professor Chen thought about changing jobs and leaving."

"No, no, don't talk nonsense!"

"Why is that?"

"This is Professor Chen's own private matter, and I can't tell you, why do everyone want to ask about gossip from me? I'm a leuko."

The little girl had a bitter face. It seemed that many people in this institute came to her for asking questions during this period. It was obvious that she felt uncomfortable holding a secret.

At least Lu Qi knew one thing, she knew the inside story.

Lu Qi waved his hand: "Hey, you'll sign for me anyway. I won't say that we are Jumei Tianxia? Do you think this name looks like a high-end instrument and equipment manufacturer? It's just daily necessities, skin care, facial washing and mites, tender and moisturizing, which is so mysterious, and it's also the instrument and equipment."

The little girl said, "Professor Chen also uses skin care products, I didn't know about it before."

"His wife bought it for him. What's wrong with a woman being better to her men?" Lu Qi changed another direction of temptation.

"What did Professor Chen's lover buy for him?" The little girl frowned, her mouth was filled with disbelief.

Lu Qi knew at once that the direction was right.
