National Game Producer

"Are you sure that most gamers have this attitude?" Yu Suai raised her head and asked.

"If you think it's unreliable, you can also go to the comprehensive discussion area of ​​the game forum to have a look... But I think this is the case even on Weibo, let alone the game forum." He Ji

explained.

"Are you very proud?" Yu Suai looked at him.

"It's not enough to be proud."

He Xu smiled and shook his head, "But through this incident, I have confirmed that players' pursuit of game quality is always higher than their pursuit of other aspects... If this can continue like this, I will

Don’t worry that they will go back to their previous status as a rice circle.”

"Can old father finally feel relieved?" Yu Suai whispered.

"I am an old father, then who are you?" He Xuxiao looked at her with a smile.

"Old father's main target of exploitation?"

"...What did I exploit you for?"

"Well...I can't say."

"..." He Zhu stood up and took back his cell phone, "I suspect you are hinting at me."

"What?" Yu Suai blinked her big eyes, looking confused.

"nothing."

He Xu smiled, turned and walked to his bedroom, "You can have a good sleep tonight."

"Then there should be some people who can't sleep well, right?" Yu Suai muttered in a low voice.

…

the other side.

After Meng Lanqing came home from get off work in the evening, she was about to take a good rest when she suddenly received a call from her deputy.

"Have you read what's going on online?" the deputy asked.

"I don't have time to watch, what's wrong?" Meng Lanqing lazily lay down on the sofa in the living room and turned on the central air conditioner.

"During the afternoon, didn't I say that I would find someone to contact the game studios of those non-plot multiplayer online games that were rejected by the official platform and ask them to speak out online to denounce the official game platform?" the deputy said.

"Yeah, I think this method is pretty good...how did it turn out?" Meng Lanqing asked.

When the other party planned to do this before, he specifically reported it to her.

Judging from the situation at the time, she felt that this should be the most secure and easiest plan to implement.

She didn't think there would be any problems in implementing such a plan.

"It's hard to explain," the deputy replied.

"It's hard to explain in one sentence?"

Meng Lanqing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously sat up straight, "How do you say that?"

Could this also go wrong?

Isn't it a mole?

"In the game circle, there are basically no players who are willing to speak for the people in these game studios... Those who are willing to speak for them are all the trolls we invited, as well as ordinary netizens who were diverted by the trolls," the deputy explained.

road.

"Why?" Meng Lanqing didn't understand.

No matter how powerful the influence of the "Firebringer" is, it won't be able to make players in the entire gaming circle turn to them, right?

The most important thing is... Although the "Fire Bearer" and the official game platform may not have actually done anything wrong in this matter, on the surface, they are both on the opposite side of the "people"!

How could netizens speak for the enemies of the "people" but not for their own people?

"Because the new game of 'Firebringer' is fun enough." The deputy's voice was a little deep.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"Is there no other reason?"

"Uh... maybe it's because the games made by those game studios are so bad that no one wants to buy them."

"..." Meng Lanqing was silent.

Why didn't she consider this issue?

...The game is so poorly made that it is really not easy to arouse the sympathy of game players.

What's more, the games from those studios are still being compared with the "Firebringer" games.

With a reference object, the advantages and disadvantages of their games will be infinitely magnified.

It would be okay if their games could be compared with others and the advantages could be found, but if the comparison showed only shortcomings...

"There is another more critical question." The deputy suddenly said.

"besides?"

Meng Lanqing couldn't help but raise her voice, "Didn't you say the reason is simple?"

"Well, that's not what I'm referring to."

The deputy paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "What I mean is that, in fact, until now, the rhythm of the 'Fire Bearer' has never been up."

"You never got up?"

Meng Lanqing's face was full of confusion, "Isn't it because of the rhythm? After knowing the news, the players all chose to side with the 'Fire Bearer', and finally it became the situation you said, 'it's hard to explain'"

?"

According to normal logic, this is how things should be.

If reality does not develop according to this logic, would that be abnormal, right?

"Uh... Actually, regarding the rhythm of 'Firebringer', there was just a hint of it before, and it was already discovered by players in the gaming circle, and then..."

The deputy's voice gradually became more subtle, "With the 'Firebringer' not participating at all, the players in the game circle directly mocked those game studios until they were completely speechless.

.”

"..."

Meng Lanqing was silent for a moment and asked, "Does this mean the 'Fire Bearer' won a round against us without even making a move?"

"Well... you can indeed say that."

"Is the impact of a game really that big on players?"

"If it's a 'Firebringer' game, it might really be that big," the deputy replied in a low voice.

"Have you ever played?" Meng Lanqing asked.

"All... uh, I've tried a few of them."

"Only a few styles?"

"Ahem, let's continue talking about business." The deputy changed the subject very stiffly.

Meng Lanqing was no longer confused after hearing this.

Let’s get down to business…

How else can we talk about it?

Anyway, at least in her own opinion, there is nothing they can do about the "Fire Bearer" for the time being.

After all, it is impossible for them to blatantly target the other party - they are still thinking of recruiting the other party!

Putting aside their toughest methods, there are obviously not many methods left for them to use.

Soft ones won't work, hard ones won't work, neither soft nor hard ones will work...

"How about we target them from outside the game?" Meng Lanqing asked.

"You mean, you want to use the tricks of the entertainment industry?" The deputy hesitated.

"Let's check their lifestyle first." Meng Lanqing said.

"Uh, isn't this a bit extreme?"

"Extreme? Isn't this a normal method?"

"They are just students who have just entered college."

"They are the 'Firebringer' team!"

"But, I really don't think it makes any sense." The deputy said seriously.

"Reason." Meng Lanqing asked calmly.

"I've asked people to inquire about it before... In fact, several people from their team..."

The deputy paused for a moment and then asked, "He Ji, Yu Suai, and Lin Jieyu are all top academics who entered Qinglin University based on their college entrance examination scores. You should know this, right?"

"These information materials are all there." Meng Lanqing responded.

They will definitely do a lot of market research before officially entering the market.

This naturally includes investigating information about some well-known game producers.

If they don't make these preparations in advance, how can they conquer the entire domestic game market.

"Well, I asked people to ask their classmates, teachers, and friends, and the result..."

"No negative news at all?"

"Not only is there no negative news at all!"

The deputy smiled and said, "Each of them has a lot of honors and positive news, which are the kind that most ordinary people would feel ashamed of themselves."

After a pause, he added, "The most important thing is that they are not only great, they are also very hard-working and diligent. Although their conduct in life is not perfect, it is true that there is nothing wrong with them."

He sighed, "To be realistic, if the idol stars in the entertainment industry could have the characters of the 'Firebringer' team, they would probably be praised by various media for several years.

"

"is that so?"

Meng Lanqing muttered something in a low voice, and then said seriously, "Do you like their team very much?"

"Definitely a bit..."

"Don't put too much emotion into it."

"I know," the deputy said calmly.

"As for recruiting the 'Fire Bearers', let's put it aside for the time being. Let's complete other tasks first. When the time is almost up, we will come back and find a way to conquer them." Meng Lanqing concluded.

"Okay, I understand." The deputy's tone was obviously much more relaxed.

Meng Lanqing sighed slightly, hung up the phone without saying anything more.

The "Firebringer" team will eventually have to find a solution.

Otherwise, if they want to continue in this new era of gaming, they have to abide by the rules of "Firebringer".

If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a lot of money.

What a thing!

How can they, who are dignified and dignified, be blocked from the game market by the "Firebringer"?

…

The next morning.

He Chu had just finished half of the class when he received a WeChat message from Professor Zhou Kaiyuan.

Zhou Kaiyuan: Let’s talk on the phone?

He Jiu: Okay.

After sending the message, he put on his headphones.

The next second, the other party's call came in.

"Are you in class?" Zhou Kaiyuan heard the noisy voices on his side.

"Recess." He Xiu replied.

"Oh, let's keep the story short."

Zhou Kaiyuan smiled and said, "Did the multiplayer online mode of Minecraft come about under our influence, or did you decide to do it yourself?"

"It's probably both." He Jiu said truthfully.

"Do you want to see our attitude first, and then decide whether to make a multiplayer online mode?"

"Well, almost."

"So, are we being used by you?" Zhou Kaiyuan asked with a smile.

"How can this be considered taking advantage? The most we can do is test your tone, and then use this to infer the possible attitude of the entire gaming community towards plotless multiplayer online games, right?" He Jiu defended.

"Have you considered this much at that time?"

"Actually, it's more than just..."

"Tsk, it seems your ideas are much more complicated than I thought." Zhou Kaiyuan said with emotion.

"We just want to play more fun games, we don't have any other messy ideas." He Zhu replied honestly.

"I know, and I didn't say your attempt like this was bad." Zhou Kaiyuan said with a smile.

In fact, if it were another person, he would not say he was disgusted, but he would have less favorable impressions of him.

But after all, the other party is He Ji, the "fire bearer".

He was the man he couldn't ask for.

The favorable impression of the other party in his heart will not be reduced because of such trivial matters.

"By the way, Professor, have you told your students my contact information?" He Xun asked.

"Has he already looked for you?"

Zhou Kaiyuan said with a smile, "My student said that he had a lot of game-related issues and wanted to discuss them with you, so he asked me for your contact information a few days ago... How was it? Did you have a pleasant chat?

"

"Well, it's okay." He urged.

It seems that Professor Zhou is completely unaware of Teng Lin's affairs.

Hmm...that's fine too.

This will save him from having conflicts with Teng Lin in the future, and the other party will be caught in an awkward position in the middle.

Moreover, what if the other student is also a victim?

Perhaps, that person didn't know at all that he would have trouble with Teng Lin.

In short, let’s get this matter out of the way for now, and we’ll talk about the rest later.

"One more thing..."

Zhou Kaiyuan suddenly said, "As for the Ministry of Education's invitation to co-write textbooks, it has basically been decided. It is estimated that we will find time to notify you next month. You must be mentally prepared."

"Be mentally prepared?"

He Ji was a little confused, "Will there be any tests then?"

"No, I just want you not to get too excited when the time comes." Zhou Kaiyuan said with a smile.

"..."

He Xu was silent for two seconds and said helplessly, "It's true that I won't be excited anymore, but you also ruined my surprise."

"You can have a surprise now."

"Isn't it still not confirmed yet? You just said 'it's basically decided'."

"...It seems so."

"Then why don't you hurry up and give me back the surprise!"

"You are so brave, you dare to joke with me like this!"

Zhou Kaiyuan picked up the tone of an old professor and said, "Aren't you about to start class? I'll hang up now and let's talk to you next time when we have a chance."

After saying that, he hung up the phone neatly.

He Xu held the phone and looked ahead expressionlessly, then put down the phone after a long while.

Sure enough, young people are exposed to too many things, and even old professors cannot avoid "bad learning".

It seems that he will have to change his attitude when talking to each other in the future.

Seeing that there was still a little time before class, he put down his phone, logged on to Weibo, and checked the status of "Minecraft".

In fact, as early as last night, the topic about "Minecraft" had already appeared on Weibo's hot topic list.

Moreover, after the game studio criticized the official game platform, the topic of "Minecraft" once reached the top five popular spots.

Of course, there is no contradiction or rhythm in this. Basically, players are discussing the content of the game itself.

For serious players in the gaming circle, being able to play a game like "Minecraft" can really be regarded as a carnival.

He Xu glanced at the hot topic list on Weibo at this time and found that the topic ""Minecraft" once again created a new era of gaming" was still ranked ninth.

The enthusiasm of game players should be known to almost everyone on the Internet...
