Restart the Gaming Era

Two days later, at 9 am.

The reporter from Xingyou.com arrived on time.

Miao Zhu went down to greet him, and a reporter and a cameraman came.

The female reporter is Cui Xiaonuo. It looks like she is about thirty years old, and she is a leader of a more mature and mature working woman.

The cameraman is carrying a folding tripod, a gimbal, and a palm-sized camera. It doesn't need a good body to move like Zhong Ming's previous life. The equipment in this world is going in the direction of miniaturization, and the recorded pictures The quality is unambiguous.

At the door of the low-light studio, Zhong Ming greeted at the door, Cui Xiaonuo came up and shook a hand with Zhong Ming.

"Hello Teacher Zhong! I'm glad you can accept our interview." Cui Xiaonuo smiled.

Zhong Ming also smiled: "Please come in."

Invited reporters and photographers, first went to the small meeting room to sit, Miao Zhu went to prepare some tea.

A few words on both sides, quickly entered the topic.

"You should be very busy developing games here, so there is no delay. Our plan is like this, first take a brief photo of the situation in the studio, and then interview the two employees randomly, mainly to interview you." Cui Xiao Promised.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, you can do this according to your plan, just casually interview."

"Okay, let's go take some video footage of the studio and then come back to interview you."

After Cui Xiaonuo said, he took the photographer out of the small guest room and started recording.

First came to the door.

"Dear viewers, I am Cui Xiaonuo, a reporter of Xingyou.com, you can see that we are now at the gate of Weiguang Studio."

The photographer deliberately gave a close-up of the house number, Huanyu Grand View No. 6666, highlighting a 6.

"Speaking of the low-light studio, many audiences may be relatively unfamiliar, but when it comes to their games, you must have heard of them. They have developed a total of 5 games," The Lazy Way "," Work Dog Survival Manual " , "Ink Clouds and Smoke", "Taiwu Painting Volume", and "Zodiac Guardian", which have recently received super high scores all over the world ... "

Cui Xiaonuo gave a brief introduction first, then went into the studio and started shooting some situations in the studio.

For example, the distribution of workstations, how many employees the studio has, how many people each department has, and so on.

I also photographed the daily work of some people, such as the original painting of the original painting group of Xiao Mu, the code being written on the program side, and the action being fine-tuned on the action art side.

These are not trade secrets. A few seconds passed without any harm.

Then came the interview with employees.

Cui Xiaonuo hasn't figured out who to interview in the end. I thought about random interviews before, but seeing that everyone has a job at hand, Cui Xiaonuo was not too bothersome to bother.

Just then, someone came in at the door.

Zhou Sen.

He is late today.

Cui Xiaonuo looked just right. This is estimated that there is no work at hand, you can interview.

As soon as Zhou Sen sat down and turned on the computer, Cui Xiaonuo came together: "Hello, may I have time to answer some questions?"

"Answering the question? How can I answer the question, no matter how foolish ..." Zhou Sen said without subtly turning his head, still staring at the computer screen.

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong, turned his head, and saw the camera behind Cui Xiaonuo.

"You ... are you here for an interview?" Zhou Sen suddenly realized.

Zhong Ming was notified two days ago. Zhou Sen had long forgotten this. Today, when I saw the reporter and camera, I suddenly remembered it, as if I had said that there was an exclusive interview!

Cui Xiaonuo smiled: "Yes, I'm a reporter from Xingyou.com."

"Ah, you wait." Zhou Sen turned his head, took a small bag from the table, took out a small spray from the inside and sprayed it on his face, then took out a small comb to comb his hair, and then came out The small mirror took a look at herself and fixed her collar.

"Well, you ask." Zhou Sen smiled, showing four teeth.

Cui Xiaonuo looked at Zhou Sen's operation while crying and laughing. How did this person think about this matter long ago? The packet on the table was obviously prepared in advance!

"Excuse me, what's your name? How long have you been to Weiguang Studio?"

Zhou Sen smiled slightly and replied, "My name is Zhou Sen. Wee Studio, I am the co-founder. I thought that at the beginning, I and Zhong Ming both worked in Lightwing Entertainment. Later, he found me and said that I really appreciate me You want to pull me out and start a business together, so I have the current low-light studio ... "

Cui Xiaonuo was stunned, and he caught the co-founder? ? ?

A little bit awesome!

But this one doesn't look like a co-founder ...

Even in the very young team of Weiguang Studio, Zhou Sen belongs to the younger group.

"Then, would you please comment on your good partner Zhong Ming?" Cui Xiaonuo asked again.

Zhou Sen Zhengzheng said: "I think he is a very talented person, just like me. My technology must be 100% realized through his creativity, and it is the same when it is sent. His creativity is also inseparable from mine. Technology, the two of us complement each other, as if the two sides of a coin are inseparable ... "

After an interview for ten minutes, the people next to Zhou Sen were desperately smirking.

Cui Xiaonuo also almost got an internal injury. How does this feel like running a train with his mouth full!

After an interview, Cui Xiaonuo decided to change his mind this time.

The old employees seem to have the nature of a bit of old churros. Although the program works well, the train is full of mouth and is not very reliable.

Let's change to a younger face.

But this is also very difficult, because it is difficult to use age to determine the time when they join the company. For example, Zhou Sen, it looks like 27,8. As a result, he is a co-founder, more than 30. It ’s too early for an age-old employee to get hired.

Cui Xiaonuo wandered a bit, and moved to the design team.

Fu Xing'an, Jia Jia, and Wu Mingliang are all young, and relatively speaking, Fu Xing'an is the youngest.

However, Jia Jia is the youngest among the three because he has just graduated from a graduate school. He is still dressed like a student and looks more tender.

Cui Xiaonuo secretly clapped and interviewed him!

"Hello, do you have time for an interview?"

Jia Jia temporarily put down her job: "Yes."

Cui Xiaonuo said, yes, this time the candidate is OK, the answer is very simple, not as exaggerated as the previous one.

Jia Jia gives the impression that he is a typical man in science and engineering, especially in mathematics. At first glance, he is very calm. His language is very refined, concise, and hits the point.

"How long have you joined Weiguang Studio?"

Jia Jia thought for a while: "In less than half a year, I joined in the production of" Taigo Painting Volume ", and have developed two games so far."

"How are you feeling here?"

"Feel? I feel that the environment and atmosphere here are very good. All are talented people. They have benefited from getting along with everyone, and have greatly enhanced me. And the team atmosphere is very harmonious. It is like visiting my own home here. Here it is. "Jia Jia answered with a smile.

"Uh ..." Cui Xiaonuo thought about it and asked, "So, how do you evaluate your producer Zhong Ming?"

Jia Jia said with a serious face: "I think the boss is an out-of-the-box genius! The completion of each game design is very high, so we just need to follow and call 666. Of course, we also Will be responsible for some relatively simple work, but the overall game framework, he has already thought about it, this is what I admire most. Many of his design, we feel that we can not understand, but we can make it New ideas, let players buy special accounts, this is the most powerful point! "

"In daily work, the boss also pays special attention to his subordinates. Bonuses are always open, and we have flexible working hours. As long as we complete the work task, we can do our own things at work. We also take us apart Go out for a big meal, and there are all kinds of small gifts inside the company ... "

"The boss usually works very seriously and responsible. It feels to me that he is a very pure gamer without any selfish thoughts. It is an example of my life and a benchmark for my struggle. My goal in life is to be like a boss. Such a producer! "

Jia Jia suddenly opened the box, and chopped up what Cui Xiaonuo said.

This guy, the road is wide ...

The key Jia Jia was very serious when he said this, so seriously that Cui Xiaonuo was embarrassed to ask whether it was the truth or was making a fuss about his boss.

"Okay, thank you very much for the interview and hope you can achieve your dream soon!"

After the interview with Jia Jia, Cui Xiaonuo felt almost the same, and then interviewing the staff may have caused some moths.

Since entering the door of the Weiguang Studio, Cui Xiaonuo felt that he had entered a rather strange atmosphere. He looked at his watch, and even if the interview was delayed, it was almost ten o'clock, so he had to interview Zhongming quickly. After all, this is the highlight of this interview.

After a turn, I returned to the small meeting room.

"How is the interview going well? My employees should be those who are very honest and honest, asking what to say is absolutely unambiguous." Zhong Ming smiled.

Cui Xiaonuo Waterfall Khan, how can you still be honest? !!

One acting exaggerated, one acting realistic.

I just caught both of them, and they were all playboys.

"Okay, Mr. Zhong, let's start the interview formally. This time, part of the questions we want to ask Xingyou.com, part of the questions are from netizens. If you do n’t want to answer, you can directly say that we will record the material later Will clip. "

Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay, you ask."

On the bracelet of Cui Xiaonuo, there is a general outline of the interview. She gave a brief glance and asked: "Can you briefly talk about the first question, what is the kind of work you did when you went out to start a business and set up Weiguang Studio? The decision you made in the state? Or, what drove you to such a risky behavior? "

Zhong Ming thought for a while: "At that time, I was still a world architect in Lightwing Interactive Entertainment. Later, I felt that my leadership ability was really limited, which seriously dragged my hind legs, and felt that I was more free to open a studio myself. I caught up with me and won the first prize in the virtual idol competition. With the starting capital, I jumped out and opened my own studio. "

Cui Xiaonuo took a sip of tea.

The leaders of Lightwing Mutual Entertainment have dragged you down? How dare you say that!

"Do you want to cut it out?" Cui Xiaonuo asked tentatively.

Zhong Ming was puzzled: "Why? I'm telling the truth. It's not something I can't tell."

"Well ... OK, but does this just make you determined to set up a studio? We all know that in the current market environment, spending your own money to make independent games is a very risky thing, then you were at the time Have you also experienced ideological struggles? "

Cui Xiaonuo did not ask the answer in his intention, so he had to change his perspective and emphasize it again.

This time, Zhong Ming was silent.

Cui Xiaonuo felt that he probably remembered the choices he had faced during that time, the setbacks and difficulties he had experienced when he first founded the studio, and the confusion he had lost in the unknown future ...

Zhong Ming paused and said: "Indeed, in the current market environment, it is very risky to spend your own money to make indie games. I have heard of many studios that were founded because of dreams and forced to do so because of reality Dissolution, these problems they face, such as shortage of capital chain, uncontrollable development cycle, employee troubles, close friends and so on ... "

"In fact, these are the problems often encountered in entrepreneurship, and I have never experienced them."

Cui Xiaonuo hesitated: "Ah?"

Haven't experienced it yet? So what are you trying to say in front of you? !!

A sharp turn gave Cui Xiaonuo a stern face.

"Have you ever experienced it?" Cui Xiaonuo asked again.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yeah, I haven't experienced it. The first game of Lurking Studio," The Lazy Way ", was done for two weeks before and after, and the cost was estimated to be hundreds of thousands. The monthly running water is not too high, it is only 10 million, the score is reasonable, 9.5 points, after all, it is a text adventure game, and there are no too high requirements ... "

Cui Xiaonuo: "..."

You see, is this talking about people!

I did it for two weeks, costing several hundred thousand, monthly flow of ten million, rating 9.5 points!

"Later, the" Working Dog Survival Manual "and" Ink and Cloud "were actually relatively smooth. But when I was making" Taigo Painting Volume "... hey, it was really ...

At a turning point in Zhong Ming's remarks, Cui Xiaonuo instantly became interested and listened carefully.

Zhong Ming seems to be remembering the development of "Taigo Painting Volume" before ~ ​​www.readwn.com ~ with a lot of emotion: "At that time, our studio was facing a transformation, and it must be different from before. Because The previous games were developed by four people, and the content of "Taigo Painting Volume" was very complicated, so the studio began to recruit people, from four to more than twenty people. "

"For small studios, recruiting is bound to be a difficult problem. Because there is no dedicated human resources department and no reputation, many small studios cannot recruit reliable staff, and they must give Only premium people will come ... "

"... But, we haven't experienced it!"

It was another sharp turn, and Cui Xiaonuo's face was aggressive: "Ah?"

"Yes, we haven't experienced it," Zhong Ming said earnestly. "I just posted a recruitment notice on the Internet, and then I recruited a very satisfied employee within a few days. How about it, luck is better."

Cui Xiaonuo was almost unable to speak up, and the whole person had fallen into a sluggish state.

How could the person across the board not play cards at all? !!
