Chapter 656 Everything You Need to Know Besides "Struggle"
Many of Mr. Pei's remarks seem to be contradictory on the surface, but after digging deeper, they can reach a state of unity of opposites at a higher level!
The keyword "attention" made Qiao Liang involuntarily think of the nearest sloth apartment and the automatic bar lifter.
The particularity of the group of poor students reminded Qiao Liang of "Struggle".
It seems that somewhere, there is really a clue that connects all the things together!
However, all this still needs to be sorted out.
First, start with a seemingly contradictory concept!
Qiao Liang took the computer excitedly and recorded all his thoughts.
In his speech, Mr. Pei hopes that these poor students will not spend money on distracting and addictive entertainment.
But at the same time, Mr. Pei is also a game producer. He has produced many interesting games and invented such a seemingly meaningless gadget as a fully automatic bar lifter.
Is this contradictory?
For people who don't play games and don't understand games, this is obviously contradictory, because they will see games as a waste of time and meaningless entertainment.
But for Qiao Liang, he is a veteran game lover, so of course he doesn't think games are meaningless.
Games are beneficial in at least two ways:
In terms of gameplay, the game allows people to relieve the accumulated pressure and get a rest mentally. Like most entertainment activities, it can soothe people's hearts;
From an artistic point of view, some games themselves have connotations and are meant to express some content, which is instructive to players.
And these two aspects happen to be what Tenda Games has been pursuing.
GOG is constantly pursuing the ultimate gameplay, giving people relaxation and entertainment; while games such as "Game Producer", "Return to the Shore", and "Struggle" are constantly pursuing the ultimate artistry, giving people inspiration and thinking.
When are games harmful?
When players are dominated by negative emotions and spend too much time in some low-interest games, not as entertainment, but as a substitute for escapism, it is harmful.
This kind of game that incites negative emotions is exactly what Tengda never touches.
Of course, good games can sometimes make people addicted, but this can't be blamed on "the game is too fun", but on my own lack of self-control.
The crux of these people who have no self-control is that they don't realize that attention is their most precious asset, and squander these precious things wantonly.
Even without games, they'll find something else to squander their attention on.
Even if there are no entertainment activities in the world, they will not do meaningful things, but will be in a daze.
In this case, it would be beneficial to them if they could take the time to play a game like "Struggle".
Other entertainment, such as movies, TV series, novels, etc., have the same effect. Let people relax, relax, and be able to devote themselves to work better after a break, which in itself is their meaning.
It would be even better if it could inspire a little bit.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang suddenly became enlightened.
He understood why Boss Pei said not to use "Fengshenzhizhi" to interpret "Struggle"!
Because the ideas expressed in "Struggle" are not limited to the field of games, so naturally it cannot be interpreted simply with the game-thinking "Fengshenzhizuo"!
As Mr. He An said, "Struggle" is actually a game that breaks the dimensional wall, and this game itself is closely related to Tenda's industries!
Mr. He An interpreted "Struggle" with the relevant concepts of game design, but this is obviously incomplete.
Because he has not connected with these contents in reality.
For example, Mr. He An said in his long Weibo that Mr. Pei encourages everyone to resist consumerism, so what exactly do Mr. Pei think of as "consumerism" and "IQ tax"? Is it the concept we recognize in our inertial thinking?
Obviously there is a difference.
Qiao Liang also finally understood why after giving up using "Fengshenzhizhi" to interpret "Struggle", he was able to find what was missing in the video of the Horror Hostel.
Because all of these content, in the final analysis, are talking about the same thing.
With the support of the environment of the sloth apartment, Qiao Liang instantly felt that his inspiration was bursting, and immediately began to write a document for the new video.
Silent Expresser Issue 1 (Continued): Everything you need to know besides "Struggle"!
...
...
Friday, September 16.
He An got up early as usual, walked twice in the garden of his villa, and then browsed the latest news while drinking tea.
The GOG Global Invitational Tournament has reached the second match day of the second round of the group stage, but He An doesn't pay much attention to this match.
After all, he is getting older, and his attention to the game industry is now focused on stand-alone games.
Suddenly, he found that many people seemed to be sending private messages to his Weibo last night.
The contents of these private messages are similar, and they all send him a link to Elli Island's website, asking him to watch a certain video.
This situation is rare.
With a little curiosity, He An clicked the link and jumped to the Elli Island website.
"Everything you need to know beyond Struggle?"
"Um?"
He An was a little surprised, because the "Struggle" here has the title of the book, which obviously refers to the game "Struggle".
But the interpretation of the game "Struggle", since he posted that long Weibo, it should have been concluded, right?
Could it be that this UP master...
Edited?
Make my long Weibo into a video?
He An almost thought that he had been plagiarized, but after a closer look, he found something wrong. Judging from the introduction, this video is not about the game "Struggle" itself.
That means there doesn't seem to be any conflict with He An's long Weibo.
Looking at the author again, it was Qiao Laoshi.
He An has an impression of this UP host. After all, this column of "Fengshen Zhizuo" was published by Qiao Laoshi.
He An is very clear that although Qiao Laoshi has no relevant professional knowledge, he is considered to be more thoughtful among ordinary gamers, and often interprets Tengda's games.
But this time, Qiao Laoshi has not published "Fengshenzhizhi" to interpret "Struggle", obviously because He An has answered all the content.
So, what is Qiao Laoshi's purpose for posting this video now?
Is it possible to find a new angle to interpret "Struggle"?
He An instinctively didn't believe it, but his curiosity still drove him to click on the video to check it out.
...
"Hi everyone, dads, I'm still your 'Game Calling Father' Qiao Laoshi."
"Seeing this title, many people may be wondering."
"Why did the interpretation of "Struggle" come out so late? Why was "Struggle" not put in the column of "Fengshen Zhuo" but in the column of "The Silent Expresser"? Why is it the "sequel" of the first issue?"
"Don't worry, everyone, next, I will announce them one by one for everyone!"
"Before that, I would like to declare that this video does not involve the interpretation of the game "Struggle" itself, because in my opinion, the long Weibo post by Mr. He An has captured all the content of the game. Dissected clearly."
"Students who have never seen this long Weibo, please click the hyperlink in the video introduction to read this long Weibo. This is very important, because all the content of this video needs to follow this long Weibo Look at the content explained above!"
"Students who have read it may wish to press the pause button and browse it again quickly."
"Three, two, one."
"Okay, next, let me reveal to everyone the content outside of the game "Struggle"!"
"Mr. He An has already said before that "Struggle" is a game that repeatedly breaks the dimensional wall. "Beautiful Tomorrow", "Struggle" and real life constitute three different worlds."
"However, since Mr. He An doesn't live in Jingzhou and doesn't pay too much attention to Tengda's industry, he didn't give an in-depth explanation of the reality."
"So, the current interpretation of the game "Struggle" is missing half of the content!"
"And the purpose of this video is to fill in the missing half of the content, so that "Struggle" can break the dimensional wall more thoroughly!"
...
Seeing this, He An couldn't help being taken aback.
To say that my interpretation of Struggle is still incomplete?
Impossible, my interpretation should have covered everything, right?
Outside of the game, there are still many things that need to be answered? Even related to Tenda's industry?
He An really didn't know much about these.
Because so far, Tengda's physical industries have basically been concentrated in Jingzhou, and at most they have expanded to Handong Province, and have not come to He An.
And He An doesn't live in Jingzhou, so he knows very little about industries such as Moyu takeaway, sloth apartments, and managed gyms.
So, He An watched carefully.
...
"Before I start explaining, I first want to throw out a concept that seems a bit shocking:"
"Moyu Internet Cafe, Moyu Takeaway, Sloth Apartment, Palpitation Hostel, Automatic Bar Lifting Machine, Managed Gym, and even earlier ROF installation, OTTO mobile phone, headwind logistics, etc., are all expressed by the game "Struggle" An extension of the concept!"
"I know, this sounds difficult for people to accept, everyone, let me explain slowly."
"The last question raised by He An in his long Weibo is: There are three types of relationship between the poor and the rich that Mr. Pei wants to express, namely: "Beautiful Tomorrow", "Struggle" and the real world. "
"The unsolvable problems of "A Better Tomorrow" and "Struggle" have solutions in reality. This game makes us realize that the things we take for granted are actually a kind of great happiness."
"This is a manifestation of the game "Struggle" breaking the dimensional wall."
"But some people don't quite agree with this, and feel that juxtaposing the real world with "A Better Tomorrow" and "Struggle" is a bit too forced."
