Game Development Giant

When he was driven to the headquarters of AM TV station and put on makeup in the dressing room, Jester still felt a little groggy.

A few hours of sleep couldn't make up for Jester's sleepiness, but Jester had to brace himself for the filming of this show.

The original plan was for Jester to bring the master tapes of the previously filmed locations with him, but considering that there might not be enough time for editing, he sent them directly by airmail on the afternoon of the day the filming was completed, and also sent them to AM TV station a day before. 's headquarters.

am TV station attaches great importance to "Chicago Morning", which can be seen from the fact that their boss spent a lot of money to invite Oprah.

You must know that the salary of a current program anchor is only 30,000 US dollars.

Of course, Oprah lived up to expectations. She made drastic changes to the program when she first arrived. She removed all the romantic and insignificant topics from the "Chicago Morning" program and replaced them with social hot topics that people care about. She never does controversial topics or things that others are interested in. On the contrary, she is always the first to try things that no one dares to do.

But she won't do the stunts that other talk shows deliberately set up to attract viewers and challenge the bad taste of human beings, which focus on personal confessions or showcase dysfunctional individuals and families in order to expose them. Oprah despises programs that take pleasure in humiliating people in trouble. What she does is find ways to comfort and help them, make them feel better, and improve themselves from the heart.

It has been almost a month since she came to AM TV to host this show, and the ratings have skyrocketed, not only equaling Phil Donner's talk show, but even faintly surpassing it.

"Oprah is a great host, you will definitely like her!" The person who styled Jester was a black middle-aged woman. She obviously loved Oprah very much, while giving Jester a Te wiped the dark circles under his eyes and kept saying good things about Oprah.

And Jester had to add a few words from time to time, pretending to be familiar with it, to show his approval. In fact, even in his previous life, he had only heard of Oprah's name, but had never watched her show. , let alone this life.

"There are still twenty minutes." At this moment, a staff member appeared at the door of the dressing room and shouted inside.

"Is there no interview script in advance?" Jester asked the staff curiously. When he was in China in his previous life, he heard that many such interview programs would give the interviewer an interview script in advance, with general outlines on it. If there are questions that the host will ask that the interviewer does not want to be mentioned, they can be marked in advance. This can also make the entire interview smoother and more like a show.

Unexpectedly, the staff member just smiled and said: "There is no interview script for Ms. Oprah's interview. You just need to chat with her like a friend. Before the official recording, she will ask if you want to If you want to be asked about it, or it’s a taboo topic, you can rest assured about that.”

Jester nodded after hearing this, thinking that this was okay. To be honest, he didn't really like the kind of interviews that seemed to have been arranged in advance and were just for show.

This kind of interview, which was not prearranged and seemed like a chat with friends, made him very interesting.

The studio was not very big. There was a sofa on the stage, and a black woman in her thirties was sitting there, watching something seriously.

Under the stage, there were also many viewers sitting - Jester knew that most of them were relatives and friends of the TV station staff. He had seen some introductions about this type of program before and wanted to It’s not easy to find so many audiences at the last minute.

She looked towards the backstage entrance from time to time, and when she saw Jester's figure, she immediately stood up.

Jester had seen photos of Oprah in his last life. Of course, it was after she became famous. She was in her fifties at that time, but he could still see it from the face of the young-looking black woman in front of him. Shadows on photos.

"Hello, Jester Li, my Chinese name is Li Jie, you can call me Jace." Jester stepped forward proactively and handed over his right hand.

"Oprah Winfrey, you can call me Oprah." Oprah also stretched out her hand to shake Jester's, and then gave him a hug.

"Please sit down." Oprah then pointed to the sofa next to her and motioned for Jester to sit down.

"Jace, before we officially start, I want to ask, do you have any questions that you don't want to be asked?" Oprah didn't have any pre-written script in her hand. She sat casually aside like a friend. , smiled and started chatting.

Yes, although Jester knew that he was being interviewed and the other party was asking him some questions, Oprah's extremely friendly tone made him really want to feel like a real friend. The intimacy of a chat is a rare talent for hosting.

"No." Jester replied, shaking his head with a smile.

"Okay, let's start recording?" Oprah said with a smile after hearing Jester's answer.

Jester nodded.

Then Oprah made a gesture to the side, and the person in charge of the camera crew nodded and responded with an OK gesture. At the same time, Oprah also started her interview. To be more precise, it should be a chat.

That's how Jester felt anyway.

"I heard that you are only nineteen years old? Are you still a student at UCLA?"

When Oprah asked this question, her tone was simple and a little surprised. This tone can also arouse the emotions of the audience, especially when this program is broadcast, it will make the audience have such an idea, then Is the founder of Mars Entertainment and the producer of "American Cube" really a nineteen-year-old college student?

This successfully aroused the audience's interest in continuing to read, because the vast majority of people are interested in such topics.

"Yes, I am still a sophomore at UCL, studying electrical engineering. I will start my junior year at the end of the vacation." Jester answered truthfully with a smile.

"It's surprising. When I think about what I was doing when I was nineteen years old...well, it's a bit hard to talk about." Oprah made a look of recalling, and then continued with a somewhat disgusted tone, "I was just When she comes out of the juvenile detention center, she is almost a complete bad girl. She hangs out with others, smokes, drinks, and takes drugs. She sinks deeper and deeper, doing all kinds of bad things. There is almost no hope, even if there is any hope of rebirth. It won’t be me.”

Hearing these words, Jester was very interested in Oprah's experience. He had only heard of her name in his previous life, but was not very familiar with her experience. He would never think of the past of that legendary figure in the future. , can be so dark, and it takes a lot of courage for a host, who is also a woman, to dare to unabashedly conceal some of her past unspeakable experiences on a TV show. Not everyone can do this. Dare, especially a public figure.

But Oprah dared to do so without any pretense or pretense.

In fact, Jester didn't know more. Oprah's childhood life can almost be described as dark. She was raped by her cousin when she was nine years old, and was also abused by several relatives in turn... This This experience was also revealed by Oprah herself on her show. She painfully described her mood at the time, "I was almost destroyed. I have been telling myself for so many years that I have been cured, but I haven't."

"It's regrettable." Jester suddenly didn't know what to say when he heard Oprah's description, so he could only say this.

"No." Oprah just shook her head after hearing this. Her tone began to change, no longer so low and pessimistic. As her tone improved slightly, it actually gave Jester a feeling of sunshine, "Because of this My mother had to send me to my father, who divorced when I was very young, and my father completely changed me, like Eli Higgins, the linguistics professor in My Fair Lady. Like Sarah Doolittle, he made an extremely detailed and strict transformation plan for me - for example, he ordered me to recite 20 words a week, otherwise I would not be able to eat."

As she said this, Oprah even laughed.

This made Jester's face show a look of surprise. He had seen countless similar examples of strict fathers in China, and this would be widely praised as a good name. But America is different. You don't feed a child. , no matter what reason you have, this is abuse.

It was something to be condemned, but Oprah said it so frankly, with a look of gratitude on her face.

It can be seen from her expression full of pride and adoration that she admires and is very grateful to her father.

"He saved my life. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you now." Oprah said sincerely.

"My experience is nothing like yours..." For a moment, Jester couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it.

"Okay, this is your interview. You see, I almost forgot this point while chatting with you. It almost became mine." Oprah stopped the previous topic with a smile, and then started her New question, "I heard that you are Asian? And your mother is white?"

"Yes, my grandfather was a Chinese man. He participated in World War II, fought with the Japanese in China, was injured, and received medals. After World War II, he came to the United States. My father was also in the same country. Year of birth." Jester still answered truthfully.

In fact, there is no need to ask too in-depth questions in this type of talk show. What the audience is interested in is just a gimmick that the sales of a company founded by a 19-year-old college student exceeded 100 million US dollars in one month. , in the eyes of many people, this is a typical example of the American dream and a goal that countless people strive for.

And when they look at Jester now, they look at Gates, who dropped out of school to found Apple or dropped out to found Microsoft, and he is a role model.

They are not very interested in other information about Jester. What they are interested in is who is Jester? How did he succeed? How did he create that fascinating American Cube? Will he drop out of school and start a business like Steve Jobs and Gates?

"Looking at your appearance, there are almost no characteristics of a mixed-race person. Generally, mixed-race people have characteristics of both sides." After chatting for a few more trivial matters, Oprah suddenly asked curiously.

"Actually, no, my nose is very similar to my mother's. It's rare for yellow people to see a nose like mine. It's just the more obvious appearance, such as skin color, pupils, hair color, and so on. I just follow my father." Jess Te smiled, then suddenly shrugged his shoulders, and said humorously, "Since the ordinary ones are what you said, then I am the unusual one."

Oprah was also amused by Jester's humor and laughed.

"Then your current career in the company is so good, and you are still a student, what do you think? Continue your studies, or follow the example of those successful predecessors, drop out of school and focus on your career?" Oprah finally asked a question In this interview, the key issue that the audience is most concerned about is.

Jester frowned when he heard this question. It was indeed difficult for him to answer.

He hopes to continue going to school, but as his company's business grows, it will inevitably squeeze out his time for school. In fact, he has no time to go to school at all, and all his time must be invested in the company. This is a problem he must face.

Jester never believed that people only need to make money, become famous, and gain fame in life, even though part of the purpose of going to school is to obtain these.

Live until you are old and learn. This sentence that Taizu often said was Jester's motto before he was reborn. Learning was a pleasure for him, so he used to dabble in a wide range of books and read all kinds of books. , he has to learn interesting and curious things, especially after becoming interested in games. He even taught himself several programming languages. Although he is not very proficient, he can still make a few classic mini-games.

And he also enjoys the pleasure of gaining knowledge.

"I will not choose to drop out of school." Jester's tone was firm and unquestionable as he had never done before.

This also surprised Oprah. It’s not like more than ten years ago. With the precedents of Gates and Jobs, it is not an embarrassing thing for capable young people to drop out of school and start a business. It is even a trend, and this It is indeed necessary to do this. Opening a company requires a lot of energy. Very few people can study hard while also handling a company with sales of tens of millions or even more than 100 million in an orderly manner.

This kind of person can only appear in some fantasy novels.

"I will continue my studies, that's for sure. I'm very interested in electrical engineering, and I think..." At this point, Jester suddenly smiled humorously and continued.

"Who knows what the future will bring? You must know that this is the worst time for video games. I bucked the trend and shouted a high-sounding slogan to revive video games. I chose to go against almost everyone's predictions. Although I have a lot of fans for my first game, and they are supporting me, but I believe there are more, far more people than the people who want me to succeed, waiting to see my jokes, maybe One game would fail, causing my fans to despair of video games again, and my company to follow in the footsteps of Atari—actually, it seems a bit arrogant for me to say this, and my company is still far from cannot be compared with Atari, and they will point at the corpse of my company and laugh. This is the end of arrogance, so..."

Jester was laughing and talking, and her somewhat funny words also attracted everyone's attention. Then he suddenly changed his words, "At that time, if I want to find a job and live a normal life, I will What should I write on my resume? A second-year college dropout, who chose an industry that was disliked by everyone, lost a large amount of money that was enough to buy your company, and finally the company went bankrupt..." said As he spoke, Jester himself was the first to laugh.

Then everyone laughed with him.

Including Oprah.
