Chapter 637 "Struggle", A Breakthrough in Ideological Expression (Da Zhang Asks for a Monthly Ticket)

The people in charge of these clubs seem to be wrong.

The first ones to talk about coming to Jingzhou were some small clubs that did not prepare much money.

They originally thought that they didn't have enough money for this time, and it would be difficult to buy core players, at most they could buy an assistant in the command position, but they never expected that Boss Pei would still give them a core player to make up for them. The most needed short board position!

Moreover, Mr. Pei did not ask for a high price, but directly gave all clubs a similar unified price.

Of the 3 million transfer fee, 2.2 million was returned to the club to improve the training environment.

For these relatively poor clubs, Mr. Pei is obviously giving them extra favors and care!

Thank you so much, I can't thank you enough.

The Tengda Group on Mr. Pei's side has a big business and is not short of money. How can these clubs repay?

I can only move to Jingzhou and use my actual actions to support it!

Moreover, after the H4 club moved to Jingzhou, it seemed to be getting better and better. This also made people wonder if there was any magic in Jingzhou.

The 2.2 million returned by Mr. Pei has to be spent. There are related supporting facilities in Jingzhou, which is the most suitable.

What's more, Jingzhou is closer to Tengda, DGE club is a club under Tengda, Manager Zhang is Mr. Pei's confidant, if Tengda has any policy changes or adjustments in gameplay, the resident club in Jingzhou must be faster Got the news.

The clubs gather together in Jingzhou, and it is more convenient to play offline training games, and the effect of offline games is better than that of online games.

After comprehensive consideration, these small clubs immediately felt that moving to Jingzhou was a very good choice.

While the small clubs have already expressed their views, these big clubs have also hesitated.

If several small clubs have moved, will there be any problem if we don't move?

Will it fall behind in training matches and version news?

Will it not be recognized by Mr. Pei and the official attention?

At present, the development of e-sports is still in the initial stage, and it is too far away from the idea of ​​"one club home in each city". For these clubs, the best option is to gather in places with rich resources.

After forming a cluster effect, all clubs can benefit from it.

Therefore, these clubs quickly reached an agreement and decided to move to Jingzhou!

Pei Qian, on the other hand, looked bewildered, with unspeakable suffering.

what does it mean!

The H4 club came to Jingzhou, it was fooled by Huang Wang, what's the matter with you?

The contract hasn't been signed yet, so they are rushing to go to Jingzhou one by one?

are you crazy!

Pei Qian said helplessly: "It's okay. In fact, I think Shanghai is pretty good. It's the same everywhere. You don't have to move to Jingzhou."

The club managers were very moved, and then expressed their determination one after another.

"Don't worry Mr. Pei, this is our own choice!"

"Yes, we have thought about it carefully, and now no one can drive us away from Jingzhou!"

"President Pei, we will take care of the relocation by ourselves, and we will never cause you any trouble!"

Pei Qian: "..."

Well, it reinforces the misunderstanding of these people, and they are all excited.

Pei Qian looked at the decisive expressions of the club managers, knowing that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only sigh silently.

All right, come if you want.

Jingzhou is so big, can I still add a cover?

Pei Qian lost his mind, and said to Zhang Yuan: "You can sign the contract, I have to leave beforehand."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "President Pei, don't worry, I will arrange it!"

...

night.

Zhang Yuan has signed contracts with other clubs one after another, and according to Mr. Pei's request, he has made arrangements for the remaining nine players.

But this time, the nine players didn't have to leave Jingzhou.

The two big clubs also called the boss. After a detailed discussion, the boss was also moved by Mr. Pei's sincerity. In the end, the seven clubs unanimously decided to move the GOG branch to Jingzhou!

Therefore, the nine old players of the DGE club just need to stay here and wait for the relocation of the clubs to come to pick them up.

After learning that everyone was going to go their separate ways, Jiang Huan and the others felt a little sad.

However, after Zhang Yuan enlightened everyone, this sentimental emotion was quickly diluted by excitement.

Finally, we can go to the World Invitational Tournament!

Before Huang Wang was bought by H4 Club, he could go to the World Invitational Tournament. These players were more or less envious.

As a professional player, who doesn't want to stand on the highest stage to prove himself?

Therefore, although everyone is very reluctant to give up the DGE club, they also look forward to being able to stand on the stage of the world finals like Huang Wang.

And the result now is already the best result.

The team members have all got their homes, and they are all going to make up for their shortcomings. Once they go, they can sit firmly as the main force. At the same time, the clubs have moved to Jingzhou. It is also very convenient for them to have frequent gatherings or return to the DGE club in the future. Everyone's living habits and training habits can also be maintained.

The best of both worlds!

After Zhang Yuan comforted the team members, he also felt a little complicated.

I just finished training for one position, but I didn't expect to try out the other nine positions soon.

After this "clearance sale", all ten members of the DGE club have been replaced. I am afraid that their strength will be interrupted for a long time.

In fact, the best way is to sell some and keep some, let the old players lead new players, and then sell the old players after the new players grow up, so that the cycle will form a perpetual movement.

But Boss Pei's attitude is very firm, and he must sell them all.

Zhang Yuan thought about it, and it really made sense.

Let the old players stay and lead the new players, who will be kept? All the old players are the flesh and blood, who do you not want to play in the World Invitational Tournament?

Neither seemed appropriate.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan also put his mind to one side, and let everyone transfer for the sake of the future of the players.

As for the shortage of talent... let's take it one step at a time.

Zhang Yuan came outside the villa, intending to smoke a cigarette and relax.

However, as soon as he put his cigarette on his lips, he saw Team Leader Su from the H4 club rushing over.

"Mr. Zhang, is it convenient? Take a step to talk?" Leader Su's expression was a little anxious.

Zhang Yuan could probably guess what he was going to say, put away the cigarette and nodded: "Okay."

The two came to the small garden of the villa.

Team leader Su was a little embarrassed, but after considering it, he said, "Manager Zhang, did other clubs form a group to buy people? What's the result?"

Obviously, when these clubs come to buy people, the H4 club is the most panicked.

After buying Huang Wang, they were strong contenders for the championship.

But what if other clubs buy two, three or even more members of the DGE club at once?

Isn't that the end of the calf?

Therefore, in a sense, the result of the GOG International Invitational Tournament depends on the results of the various clubs buying players this time.

After this purchase is over, the paper strength of all clubs will undergo huge changes, and it may even make the training period before the game meaningless.

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Leader Su, don't worry."

He briefly introduced Mr. Pei's arrangement to Team Leader Su. To put it simply: everyone buys players with the same transfer fee, and the price fluctuates but the difference is not big. There is no situation where a certain team can crush other teams after buying people.

Team leader Su was pleasantly surprised and grateful after listening.

The surprising thing is that the paper strengths of each club are about the same after buying a player, and the H4 club has a solid foundation after all, and after a while, it is still a strong contender for the world championship.

What is grateful is that Mr. Pei didn't pack up and sell the strong players just because the other party asked for a high price!

Leader Su knew from the gossip that SUG had prepared at least 20 million to buy people this time, not to mention anything else, if they directly bought Jiang Huan at a high price, they would use the remaining money to grab two less expensive ones. Team member, what is the H4 club doing here?

And Mr. Pei sold all the players at the average price. It is hard to say whether there are other considerations in this, but there must be part of the reason to safeguard the interests of the H4 club!

Leader Su felt that the H4 club was the first to buy people from the DGE club after all, and it was considered a regular customer. Although there is nothing wrong with Mr. Pei selling the players according to the way of the highest bidder, but this way of taking into account the interests of the H4 club is quite touching.

"Thank you Manager Zhang, thank you President Pei! We will definitely keep this kindness in our hearts!" Team leader Su was overjoyed. This transfer result was also the least bad result for their club.

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Leader Su is welcome. You may think that Mr. Pei is considering your interests, but in fact, he is not. I think Mr. Pei is considering the whole ecology and the whole environment!"

Leader Su was stunned: "How do you say that?"

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said seriously: "I think Mr. Pei is doing this to regulate GOG's e-sports ecology. At least three aspects can be considered!"

"First of all, the Global Invitational Tournament is coming soon. The result of this sale will directly determine whether there is any suspense in the Global Invitational Tournament."

"President Pei's main purpose of hosting the Global Invitational Tournament must be to present a series of interesting events to the whole world. If the strength gap between the teams is too large and the competition becomes an abuse, it will be meaningless!"

"Ensure that there are back and forth and full of suspense, so as to stimulate the discussion of players to the greatest extent, and achieve the effect of promoting the game of GOG."

"Secondly, prevent the Matthew effect between clubs."

"In the e-sports industry, money is not everything, but without money, nothing is impossible. You can't build a dynasty just by burning money and poaching people, but without money, everything is impossible."

"However, whether there is money or not is actually a relative concept."

"If you have money, you can poach and buy people at will, and rely on poaching to gather all the outstanding players under your own club, while those small clubs without money will fall into a vicious cycle of no money, no attention, and no results! "

"Once caught in this Matthew effect of 'the strong are always strong', the big clubs are of course happy, because they can monopolize the resources and attention of the entire league, but the small clubs are gradually unsustainable, and the gap between the entire league is getting bigger and bigger. , it will gradually collapse, or there will be a situation of "domestic in the nest", domineering at home and being abused abroad."

"But now, the strengths of all clubs are similar. If a club wants to win, it must work hard on project management, personnel training, version analysis, etc. There is no absolute strong team and weak team, and the ecology will be healthier."

"Finally, prevent the impact of excessive capital intervention on the entire e-sports environment."

"The burning of money affects not only the club, but also the players. Many players were originally Internet addicted teenagers, and they suddenly received an annual salary of one or two million yuan and signing fees. This salary level is actually supported by popularity and capital. .”

"But the players don't necessarily realize that, they can swell, they can get lost, they can compare each other."

"For some players, if they simply get a sky-high contract, and others are only paid one-tenth of his salary, will the atmosphere of this team be good?"

"Boss Pei made the salary of all the players fluctuate within a certain range to prevent the salary level of the players from getting out of control, so that the club would not spend all the funds in the battle for talent, but force them to use it to guarantee the training base and supporting facilities."

"In this way, there will be a more benign ecology for the club and the players. In the long run, it will be of great help to the entire GOG e-sports league system!"

Leader Su suddenly realized, and nodded frequently.

Well, it makes sense when you hear it this way!

Now e-sports is still in the rough stage. There are two types of clubs. One is a relatively old club that uses love to generate electricity. It has no money, but has a better atmosphere, background and management; Money, but often the management is chaotic and people are impetuous.

These two kinds of clubs have their own problems. If they are allowed to grow freely, it will definitely be that the rich second-generation clubs spend money crazily to poach people and destroy the ecology, and then the waste management wastes away talented players. In the end, all clubs will not be easy.

The road to regularization of e-sports, under this kind of disorderly competition, will become far away.

And Mr. Pei's actions are equivalent to preventing rich clubs from engaging in price wars, but must learn to work hard on management and training players.

In the short term, part of the benefits are given up; in the long run, it will allow the GOG League to develop better!

Leader Su couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Understood! Boss Pei's move is really far-sighted!"

"However, although Mr. Pei's original intention was not to take care of our club, objectively it has the effect of protecting us, so we will still remember this kindness!"

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "You train hard and get better results, which is the best reward for Mr. Pei."

Leader Su nodded: "Don't worry, we will go all out to prepare for the battle!"

...

...

Friday, September 2.

The day before the release of "Struggle".

Everyone in Tenda Games is still busy, preparing for the launch of the game.

The official platform has given enough face, not only negotiating with Tenda Games in advance to determine the best recommended position, but also allowing Tenda Games to prepare promotional materials by themselves.

The initial publicity warm-up for the game "Struggle" has also been completed, and all players are looking forward to it.

However, because of the content of the promotion, the players' understanding did go astray!

The promotional content of "Struggle" is: beautiful pictures, all actions are captured by real people; diverse choices and rich strategies; complex and exciting plot; dual protagonist mode.

In addition, there is no specific screen of the game, nor a detailed description of the content.

When the players saw these slogans, they made up their minds a little bit, and immediately felt incredible!

What game will require all actions to be captured by real people? This is obviously a large RPG or action game!

There are various choices and rich strategies. This should mean that the combat system is complex.

The plot is exciting, and the dual protagonist mode shows that there has been a breakthrough in the content.

Based on the above analysis, this should be a large-scale action-adventure 3A game with a wonderful plot?

Everyone immediately thought of some classic works of foreign game manufacturers, and they were full of expectations for this game.

Moreover, the name of the game did not use "Struggle", but the English name "STRUGGLE", which added a touch of mystery to the game.

In short, the effect of the early publicity is indeed full.

It's just that before the game is actually launched, no one knows whether the effect of this full of publicity is positive or negative...

No one can guess what kind of reaction everyone will have after discovering the real situation of "Struggle".

Hu Xianbin has been worried recently, and he has lost weight.

As the person in charge of "Struggle", he is the most uncertain in his heart.

So far, Tenda Games has a myth of invincibility. Every game released has a good sales and word of mouth. If this golden sign is in his hands, wouldn't he be a sinner of Tenda?

Of course, in this "Struggle", President Pei's intervention seems to be much higher than the previous few times.

But even if the project fails, no one will think it's Boss Pei's fault.

Hu Xianbin can only feel that Mr. Pei has explained everything in such a detailed manner, and I haven't done a good job. This must be my problem!

Li Yada saw the worried Hu Xianbin and sat down beside him.

"What's the matter, worried about the launch of the new game?"

Hu Xianbin nodded: "Yes. I really don't know whether this game will be successful or not! And the current propaganda method seems to only have the opposite effect..."

Li Yada smiled: "Coincidentally. Do you know "Game Producer"? Before it went online, Lu Mingliang was as worried as you, because at that time, everyone felt that the motivation to continue playing this game was insufficient after playing it once. "

"Then, Brother Bao put forward a point of view: We don't think it's fun because the authorities are obsessed with it. They have read the game script a long time ago and are familiar with the various choices. We prepared spoilers in advance, so naturally we couldn't understand some details. feeling."

"But as a bystander, it will feel very special."

"He said that this was an attempt by Mr. Pei to be high-spirited. It may end up being a god, or it may end badly. Mr. Pei is actually using this game to express his own thoughts. As a work that transcends the times, it It can succeed, it can fail.”

"Even if it fails, it's not our failure, let alone President Pei's failure, but the current game market is not mature enough to accept this kind of advanced thinking."

"What happened after the release of "Game Producer" also verified Brother Bao's statement. The game market and players of our era are worthy of this kind of good game!"

"Although the entire market is relatively impetuous now, we must have confidence in Mr. Pei and the players!"

After hearing Li Yada's words, Hu Xianbin was relieved a lot.

When "Game Producer" was released, he hadn't come to Tenda yet, so he didn't know these things.

Now that I heard that senior Lu Mingliang had the same entanglements and struggles as myself, but succeeded in the end, I feel more at ease.

Hu Xianbin said: "Then quickly let Brother Bao play "Struggle" with the mentality of a bystander, and also analyze this game!"

"Uh... By the way, Brother Bao went on a trip..."

Hu Xianbin originally grasped a life-saving straw, but after thinking about it, he realized that this life-saving straw is now in Africa.

He couldn't help but feel a little more resentment towards Huang Sibo.

Tell me about you, it’s fine to go on a trip by yourself, but you have to drag Brother Bao!

Although Brother Bao usually does not work much in the game department, as the saying goes, there is an old man in a family, like a treasure. At this critical moment, the entire department is counting on Brother Bao to solve the problem!

What a mess now!

Li Yada smiled: "It's okay, I can roughly guess what Brother Bao will say."

"Actually, the game "Struggle" is similar to "Game Producer" in essence."

""Game Producer" is Mr. Pei's lonely expression, so why not "Struggle"? It's just that the former is the expresser, while the latter is the identity of all living beings."

Hu Xianbin sighed: "But the theme expressed in "Struggle" is obviously sharper and more stinging. When I played "Game Producer", I felt a little annoyed at most, and thought the narration was annoying. But "Struggle" gives people the feeling that it is heart-piercing, as if it is mixing all the despair and pain in reality and forcing it on me."

"Can the players really accept it?"

"Moreover, the core of this game is always more difficult to understand than "Game Producer", and it is also more complicated."

"I think, as Mr. Zhang Zuting said, this kind of subject matter seems to be more suitable to be expressed in movies. If it is made into a literary film, it should have a better market. For games, there are too many limitations."

Li Yada was silent for a moment, and said: "I think, since Mr. Pei chose to use games instead of movies as a carrier, he must have his own ideas."

"Maybe it's because "Beautiful Tomorrow" is too successful, so Mr. Pei doesn't want to use movies as a carrier anymore. Maybe it's because there are other considerations for using games as a carrier."

"It must be because using games as a carrier can express some content that movies cannot express!"

"This may be a breakthrough that Mr. Pei is trying."

Hu Xianbin froze for a moment: "Which breakthrough?"

Li Yada thought for a while and said, "A breakthrough in the expression of thought."

"In fact, every game of Mr. Pei expresses a certain idea. For example, "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Ghost General" are satirizing the current game industry, and "Game Producer" is based on the creator's ideas. Reflecting on identity, "Return to the Shore" tortures everyone's heart in a way that breaks the dimensional wall, allowing players and characters in the game to integrate mentally."

"We will find that these stand-alone games produced by Mr. Pei have more and more profound connotations and more stinging pains. The cost of understanding and patience required by players is also constantly increasing."

Hu Xianbin thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

There is no doubt that Mr. Pei’s games are becoming more and more persuasive. "Lonely Desert Highway" is just boring, and "Excellent Producer" becomes provocative, and then "Turn Back to Shore" becomes a multi-layered game from difficulty to gameplay. Dissuade.

And when it comes to "Struggle", it seems that the degree of persuasion is higher than before!

This shows what?

Li Yada said: "Boss Pei obviously doesn't really want to persuade the players to quit, but gradually tests the psychological endurance of the players in the expression again and again, and uses it to express his deeper thoughts."

"A deeper thought will inevitably hurt more, and it also requires a stronger ability to accept."

"As an expresser, Mr. Pei actually attaches great importance to the 'degree' of expression. A good way of expression determines whether the audience's feelings are 'preaching' or 'philosophical'."

"Just like "Return to the Shore", Mr. Pei combined the player's mentality with the choice of characters in the game by breaking the dimensional wall, and then made this connection unbreakable through the difficulty of the game and various details. In this way, players Only when we empathize with the world in the game will we accept the thoughts Mr. Pei wants to express."

"And the more Mr. Pei's game persuades him to quit, the more it shows that the thoughts expressed in it are hidden deep enough."

"Each of Mr. Pei's works is actually cultivating players!"

"Perhaps Mr. Pei made "Struggle" at the beginning, so the players would definitely not accept or understand it. But now, Mr. Pei has laid the groundwork with many games, and the players' acceptance is already very high. Take out "Struggle" again, and the success rate will be greatly improved!"

"And this just proves that Mr. Pei is not a reckless man. In terms of expression, he doesn't just force it on the players, but considers the player's acceptance. If the player's acceptance is not enough, then cultivate it first, and wait for the players to accept it." After reaching the level of acceptance, we can express more content.”

Hu Xianbin nodded frequently when he heard it, and asked again: "Then, Sister Li, what exactly did Mr. Pei want to express in "Struggle"? Class solidification? Matthew Effect? ​​Exploitation? Social irrationality? Or is it just describing a phenomenon?"

Li Yada shook his head: "I don't know about this."

"Even if it's Brother Bao, he can't understand Mr. Pei's thoughts immediately after playing the game."

"Mr. Pei's game is more like a large-scale social experiment. Only when enough players participate in it, each different player discusses or even quarrels with it, expresses their own opinions, and exchanges and collisions between different opinions, can we Finally came to an answer."

"So, let us wait and see!"

Those who travel hundreds of miles are half to ninety, and the goal on the last day is to keep the second place. I said that I will not give up until the end, so I hope everyone will not give up. The last day is the last day. If there are still votes left, you can send a red envelope. There are more than 10,000 words in the end, no matter what the result is, I will go all out and leave no regrets!
