Chapter 679 Both Lucky and Sad (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)

Lin Wan was a little curious: "What task did Boss Pei arrange for you?"

Wang Xiaobin said blankly: "Boss Pei asked me to bring half of the manpower of Shangyang Games to be responsible for making new versions of those old games..."

"I don't understand. Ye Zhizhou is more suitable for this task, right? I'm a numerical planner, and developing functions is not my strong point!"

"Besides, it's still decided by finger guessing, which is too..."

Lin Wan frowned slightly, thinking carefully for a moment.

"I think Mr. Pei's finger-guessing should have some deep meaning."

Wang Xiaobin was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Does guessing fist also have a deep meaning? Could this be... thinking too much?"

Lin Wan shook her head: "You are good at numerical programming, and Ye Zhizhou is good at functional design. Boss Pei knows this very well."

"Letting you do work that you are not good at is obviously to further exercise your ability."

Wang Xiaobin thought for a while: "But, if Mr. Pei wants to train me, wouldn't it be good to just assign the job to me? Why do you still have to guess punches?"

Lin Wan thought for a moment and said, "I think this should be an expression of an attitude."

"Boss Pei obviously believes that everyone in Tenda's game department, no matter who they are, must be versatile. Even if it's finger-guessing or lottery, anyone who comes here at random must be able to be unique."

"Moreover, from this matter, we can also see Mr. Pei's attitude towards Shangyang Games."

"For a long time, the outside world's views on Shangyang Games have been shoddy, and they all feel that our status within the company is not as good as Tenda Games."

"But now, Mr. Pei has entrusted us with the task of promoting GOG's international server and the task of updating the DLC of Tenda Games, which shows that in Mr. Pei's eyes, he treats us and Tenda Games equally."

"So, we must not disappoint Mr. Pei's expectations!"

Wang Xiaobin nodded: "Well, I understand!"

President Pei obviously took a lot of risk in making such a decision!

For the general boss, it is obviously the most economical and affordable way to let each employee do the job they are best at, and the risk is the most controllable.

How can it be such a good thing to use the company's projects to grow and train employees?

Some bosses let employees take up certain positions concurrently, which is called "learning" in the euphemistic name, but in fact, they are reluctant to pay more costs to recruit professionals.

But Mr. Pei is completely different. After giving high enough salary and benefits, he is still constantly mobilizing employees to take charge of different projects.

Obviously, doing so may lead to the failure of the project, but Mr. Pei doesn't care about this. This is to train all employees to be versatile, and they have great trust in employees!

Wang Xiaobin felt that he must not disappoint Mr. Pei's trust, and must do a good job in this new version to prove himself!

Tuesday, October 11.

In the taxi, Lu Zhiyao was fully armed with sunglasses, masks, and peaked caps, for fear of being recognized by enthusiastic fans and encountering unnecessary troubles.

He had just arrived in Jingzhou, so he rushed to Feihuang's studio without going to the hotel.

Since "Beautiful Tomorrow" became popular, Lu Zhiyao has completely washed away his reputation as a "box office poison", and he has also received many invitations from the crew, many of which are very expensive.

But Lu Zhiyao didn't answer.

If there is no script, Lu Zhiyao is worried; if there is a script, Lu Zhiyao always feels almost meaningless after reading the script.

There is no special feeling like "A Better Tomorrow"!

There is a script that Lu Zhiyao is quite satisfied with, but the character design is heavier than that of "A Better Tomorrow", and he is also a rather miserable dog-licking male protagonist.

Obviously, the crew also saw Lu Zhiyao's performance in "A Better Tomorrow" and felt that he was very suitable for this role, so they sent the invitation.

Lu Zhiyao doesn't reject this, after all, as an actor, he has to act like what he looks like, and he has to be dedicated.

But Lu Zhiyao felt that "Beautiful Tomorrow" has already been played once, so what's the point of doing it again?

There is no breakthrough.

When filming "Beautiful Tomorrow", Lu Zhiyao felt that his acting skills had made a leap forward, and he was also highly involved in the creation during the filming process. This kind of experience has never been obtained in other film crews.

Therefore, Lu Zhiyao has been hesitating.

It’s been hard to get rid of the infamy of “box office poison”. If one accidentally picks up a bad movie, wouldn’t all previous efforts be wasted?

Lu Zhiyao asked himself, he is not an actor who is very good at picking scripts.

There are some scripts that look good, but it's really hard to see what will happen when they are filmed. For him who is on the rise, he must be cautious.

Director Zhu Xiaoce's call came at the right time.

Since it's Mr. Pei's project, it can't be wrong, just shoot it!

Of course, you have to read the script before filming. It's not that you don't trust Director Zhu. The main thing is to know what kind of story this is in advance, prepare in advance, and brew your emotions.

"Director Zhu!"

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Zhiyao saw Director Zhu Xiaoce who was working hard at his station.

Zhu Xiaoce was concentrating on thinking about the script, and was startled when he heard Lu Zhiyao's voice. The speed of light hid the documents on the computer desktop.

Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, Zhu Xiaoce had already got up and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"It's here so soon? I thought it would take another hour." Zhu Xiaoce covered up his embarrassment with a smile, and beckoned to pour water.

Lu Zhiyao nodded: "Well, I didn't go to the hotel, I came here first. I'm looking forward to the new movie, I thought I would come here to have a chat with Director Zhu and read the script, after returning to the hotel You can figure out the role, memorize the lines and so on."

Zhu Xiaoce coughed lightly: "This...Didn't I just say it, the script is a little bit worse."

Lu Zhiyao didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, just watch as much as you want."

Zhu Xiaoce was a little embarrassed, and quickly used his brain: "Actually... I can't show you the script yet."

Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Why?"

Zhu Xiaoce said: "Because we are going to adopt a new shooting method this time. The script for each paragraph is given separately, so that you can avoid the interference caused by spoilers."

Lu Zhiyao felt a little surprised: "Really? That sounds quite professional. It seems that some blockbuster movies in the United States do this."

"Not bad."

"Then, Director Zhu, can you show me the script of the first act first?"

Zhu Xiaoce was speechless for a moment.

I feel like an elementary school student who lied and said that he didn't finish his homework, but the teacher kept saying: "It's okay if you haven't finished it. I'll take it up and see how much I have written."

In fact, I haven't written a word yet!

But fortunately, Director Zhu is also a person who has gone through a lot of wind and waves, and this small scene can be completely held.

After Lu Zhiyao took a sip of tea, Zhu Xiaoce said solemnly: "That's right, before reading the script, I have prepared another way for you to figure out the protagonist's psychology."

"Here, take this with you."

Zhu Xiaoce brought Lu Zhiyao a high-end gaming laptop.

Lu Zhiyao was at a loss: "?"

Zhu Xiaoce explained: "It contains "Xinghai 2". Your next task is not to go out in the hotel, order takeaway for three meals a day, and then keep playing "Xinghai 2."

"Just fight the battle, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, but there is a requirement, that is, you must try hard to imagine every soldier in this game as a real life."

"Play for three days first, try to figure it out, if you have any insights, whether it is reliable or not, you can write it all down for me to see."

Lu Zhiyao took the game book in confusion: "But, the script..."

Zhu Xiaoce's face was serious: "You can't read the script yet, the experience after reading the script is not accurate, understand? You believe me, just do what I say."

Lu Zhiyao felt that this matter was a little strange, but since Director Zhu was so sure, let's try it first.

It may be that the role to be performed this time is very demanding, and only in this way can we better understand the role?

Lu Zhiyao didn't think too much about it. Holding the heavy game notebook, he planned to go back to the hotel to rest, and then figure out the role according to Director Zhu Xiaoce's request.

"By the way, Director Zhu, what is the identity of the role I want to play? Which direction should I work hard?"

"I need to know these, so I can better figure out the character's psychology?"

Zhu Xiaoce thought for a while, and he seemed to be right: "Well...you are going to play a space fighter with a strong mentality this time."

"Try not to have any mood swings, and don't have superfluous expressions."

"No matter what happens, your heartbeat should not fluctuate greatly."

Lu Zhiyao was stunned.

"ah?"

"Don't have too many expressions?"

"Then my acting skills are useless?"

Zhu Xiaoce patted Lu Zhiyao on the shoulder: "This is what needs your acting skills even more!"

"Think about the role carefully, and think about how to show superb acting skills without expression!"

"I believe you can do it!"

Lu Zhiyao: "..."

After looking at Director Zhu who read a scripture, and then at the heavy game book in his hand, Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt like he was being cheated.

...

At the same time, Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store.

Pei Qian was drinking coffee while browsing the web.

The popularity of "Struggle" has declined, but sales have not shown a downward trend at all.

Pei Qian sighed silently as he watched all kinds of rainbow farts about "Struggle" by players on the Internet.

Originally, I wanted to see what the players like about this game, and try to avoid it in future games, but it turns out that the players seem to like everything.

It's useless to look at it.

That's pretty stiff.

"Forget it, let's just follow Mr. He, the guiding light. These players can't count on it."

Just as Pei Qian was about to close the webpage, he suddenly saw a comment from a player, and his eyes lit up.

"Hey, I don't know why, but watching "Struggle" be so successful, I feel a little sad."

"There are so many game companies in China, how many are making online games, and how many are making stand-alone games?"

"How many companies can only afford a small amount of money to build a stand-alone machine, and how many companies dare to spend, are willing to spend, and can spend a lot of money to build a stand-alone machine?"

"How many companies can really make a stand-alone machine well?"

"After thinking about it, there are very few people who have been down-to-earth, correct their mentality, earnestly work on stand-alone machines, and put money into it."

"Although it is a good thing that "Struggle" is so successful, we only have this one seedling. There are still many companies that make stand-alone games and producers of independent games. Know."

"With Tenda, it is the luck of domestic stand-alone games; but only with Tenda, that is the tragedy of domestic stand-alone games."

Seeing this comment, Pei Qian inexplicably remembered what Qiu Hong said earlier.

The development environment of domestic stand-alone games in this world is already good in Pei Qian's view, but there are still many problems.

For domestic manufacturers without accumulation, large-scale stand-alone games require more investment than online games, and the probability of failure is higher. This is an objective fact.

Therefore, domestic manufacturers are unwilling to make stand-alone machines, because the effort is thankless.

But in this way, it is even more impossible to accumulate, which leads to an endless loop.

Tenda has indeed been successful in making stand-alone games.

But when other companies make stand-alone games, the probability of failure is very high!

Pei Qian suddenly thought of a good idea.

Since domestic stand-alone games are so easy to lose, then if I invest in these failed projects, and then let them fail freely without interfering with their design, won’t I be able to lose money?

Let me emphasize the questionnaire again~ This questionnaire will be related to the surrounding content of this book.
