Number One Game Designer

Thresholds exist everywhere in human society, even including aesthetics.

In the traditional film industry, praise and disapproval are eternal problems that plague all directors, because the perception of grand ideas must be supported by considerable academic qualifications or experience; on the contrary, if a film is very simple to let All viewers can see its core of thought, so its surface core of thought is destined to not be too deep.

Therefore, for thousands of years, works of the level of "elegance and common appreciation" are rare.

At the same time, movies are easy to accompany other problems. A vivid example is the movie "Shawshank's Redemption", which now seems to be the most famous movie in the history of human cinema. When it was released, it was hit by Waterloo at the box office. The producer almost went to the streets of Los Angeles to beg for dinner, and even the word-of-mouth of the film that fans are talking about was successfully suppressed by a more popular American "Forrest Gump". A "Pulp Fiction" produced by a major director also succeeded in overwhelming "Shawshank's Redemption" in word of mouth.

It can only be said that fortunately there was a DVD rental thing at that time. Although this current work of God was defeated at the box office by word-of-mouth, at least it has not hit the bottom. It took almost four years to rely on the video tape market to rent. After that, the movie finally returned to its original title. It also took nearly fifteen years to brew word-of-mouth. This movie finally completed the word-of-mouth counterattack and became a TOP1 movie.

There are such examples before, and it’s no wonder that most people in the cultural field are people who do box office but not word-of-mouth, because most people don’t want to make their works shine again in fifteen years, please After fifteen years, maybe the Third World War has begun. Things in the future are too far away, and we are fighting for the day.

These are to illustrate how difficult it is to engage in art now: If your work is not well received, then congratulations, at least your work has made money; if your work is not well received, then congratulations too, although You may be starved to death, but at least your work will still be remembered after ten years.

In these two situations, it is natural for most people to choose which one to choose.

And now Shao Qiulin also encountered a similar situation, or in fact, he had already prepared for this situation in advance.

The release of "October Traveler" was not considered a success. Compared with Fang Xi, who stepped down in front of Shao Qiulin, it was almost a concert-level treatment. Shao Qiulin's psychological pressure directly exploded.

When Fang Xi was on stage, every player gave face. Boss Fang gave a warm applause when he said something, and he was even more admired by young people when he stepped down from the stage. It rang for two minutes.

After Shao Qiulin took the stage, the audience changed their eyes to look at this young man who was as young as Fang Xi but very strange.

"So young, are Hongyi's so young?"

"People who haven't met, I thought it would be Teacher Lu Tao Lu who will be on stage next!"

"Don't you know, there are three teachers in Hongyi now. Except for Lu Tao, the other two are stunning! I don't know if I can see them on stage today..."

"I guess it's hanging, but Mr. Lu Tao Lu should still have a play. I see Hongyi's preview here, and it seems that the new game that Mr. Tao Lu is responsible for is about to be released."

"It's too difficult. It's fine for other companies to compete with Hongyi. Hongyi has to compete with itself..."

The buzzing discussion at the scene was like a plane passing by from a low altitude, casting a shadow in Shao Qiulin’s heart. He was clearly prepared in all aspects during the rehearsal, but he faced it at that time. It is an empty venue, and now there are tens of thousands of players in the audience, and there are still tens of thousands of players who don't know him, Shao Qiulin feels like a blank in his mind.

Fang Xi, who was in the audience, also keenly discovered these. It is of course false that Fang Xi was not prepared for these. The earliest proposal of the boss of Fang was that the entire production team of Bafang should go up, but Shao Qiulin denied it. Shao Qiulin insisted that he could. It's done, but now it seems that this developer still underestimated the pressure on tens of thousands of people in person.

This is not enough. This work will inevitably endure a wave of doubts, because this game is not in line with popular tastes. If it is just this kind of psychological quality, Fang Xi will consider whether to let Shuiran and her second uncle come to the Bafang project. The person in charge.

It may be that Shao Qiulin had already honed his rough nerves when he was hostile to Fang Xi, or it may be that after doing Bafang, this once genius boy has completed a transformation as he said. In short, under Fang Xi’s gaze, on stage After staying in a daze for thirty seconds, Shao Qiulin turned around, took off his glasses and rubbed his face, then put them on again, turned around, and faced the audience again.

Facing the audience again, Shao Qiulin was less energetic and more silly. This action was captured by the camera and projected on the big screen above the stage. This action made all the audience regain their eyes.

"Sorry, I was a little excited, but I was more nervous, because I was still playing for Dong Huang two years ago."

After saying this, all the audiences were shocked, and many viewers were a little bit stunned, wondering why this person here suddenly said this.

"I used to be a game designer cultivated by Donghuang..."

On the stage, Shao Qiulin described himself as objectively as possible about this experience that sounded a bit out of date on this occasion. Although the audience was strange, most of them were curious about what Shao Qiulin said. For the players, this kind of involvement The story of the two companies competing, and the protagonist himself tells them, these stories that are a bit far from ordinary people's lives are still very fascinating at this moment.

Starting from the backstage, Fang Xi stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Lan, who seemed to be ready to rush to the stage:

"Let him say that we have nothing dirty with Dong Huang. Don't be afraid to talk about it. Moreover, he should be using this speech to recall his own rhythm."

"Own rhythm?" Xiao Lan was strange.

"Yes." Fang Xi nodded: "Speaking in this position, you will lose half of your stage fright, and if you are led by the audience, then you will lose all the games."

"Shao Qiulin had stage fright in front of him, so the battered scandal brought the audience's attention back and regained control of the rhythm of this speech. The audience would expect what he said next, that's enough.

"Okay, let's go to the backstage and watch it slowly. There is no problem here. Xiaolan, go and serve the young master. I'm exhausted after two hours of talking..."
