National Game Producer

That night.

After dinner time, He Jiu received a WeChat message from Xiao An.

Xiao An: I’m almost done with the game trial.

Hua Yao: [scratches head]

Hua Yao: What can you say?

Xiaoan: I think the promotion period should be extended.

Hua Yao: [Doubtful]

Hua Yao: Do ​​you think this game is not good?

Xiao An: It’s not impossible, it’s great!

Xiao An: How can a game like this live up to its quality if it is not promoted weeks in advance?

Hua Yao: But this is a game not suitable for spoilers!

Hua Yao: What can you promote in advance?

Xiaoan: [dumb]

Xiaoan: That’s right.

Xiaoan: But at least it can let more players know about this game, right?

Hua Yao: [Maomao shakes his head]

Hua Yao: Do ​​you think that after a week of intense publicity, and with the title of "Producer of "Slay the Spire" and "Darkest Dungeon", how many serious players will there be in the end, who don't know what we are planning to do?"

New game released?

Hua Yao: It is actually enough to attract the vast majority of serious players.

Hua Yao: As for those light players, my game may not be very attractive to them on the surface. If I want to really attract them, I can only rely on word-of-mouth publicity from those heavy players.

Hua Yao: Therefore, it is most likely meaningless to extend the publicity period.

Xiao An: But there’s no harm in it, right?

Hua Yao: A waste of money.

Xiao An: That is also a waste of our money and has nothing to do with you.

Hua Yao: [expressionless]

Hua Yao: Are you so optimistic about this game?

Xiao An: As long as you have played it, you will not be optimistic about this game, right?

Xiao An: It’s you, why are you so anxious to put it on the shelves?

Hua Yao: If I release this game earlier, I can release the next new game earlier.

Xiaoan: [dumb]

Xiao An: It’s really a drought that kills people, and a flood that causes waterlogging!

Xiao An: How about this, let’s each take a step back and set the game’s release date for Wednesday next week?

Hua Yao: Whatever, I don’t want to get too entangled.

Xiao An: That’s settled.

Xiaoan: [holding fists]

Hua Yao:[sigh]

After He Chu sent the message, he quickly logged out of "Hua Yao"'s WeChat account.

Yu Suai quickly finished clearing the bowls and walked out of the kitchen: "I plan to go to the studio in the evening."

"What are you doing?" He Jiu put down his phone as if nothing had happened and looked up at her.

"Making up work progress...haven't you been busy all afternoon by yourself today?" Yu Suai said matter-of-factly.

"That's not necessary!"

He Jushi smiled and said, "There is still plenty of time, and it is not less than half a day."

"I have made an appointment with Tang Lin and the others, well... they must have arrived at the studio by now."

Yu Suai picked up the coat on the sofa, turned around and put it on, "You don't have to wait for me tonight, I should just sleep over there."

"Four of us sleeping in the lounge together?" He Xu opened his mouth slightly.

"Aren't there still chairs?" Yu Suai said.

"Are you planning to stay up until the early hours of the morning?"

"It's more efficient to work at night."

"This...it's really not necessary!"

"Just think that we are here to maintain efficient working conditions."

"..."

He Xu was silent for two seconds, then stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"Why do you want to sleep with us?" Yu Suai squinted at him.

"I'll send you there and I'll be back in a while." He Xu said calmly.

Winter nights are cold and dark, and it is difficult to see people coming and going on the streets.

It's really unsafe for the other party to go out alone.

"Hey, I thought you had some evil thoughts!" Yu Suai curled her lips.

"Have you noticed that something is getting wrong with you?"

"Yes, no?"

"Are you hinting at something?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Are you sure?" He Xu couldn't help but pursed his lips.

"I'm going out, no need to see me off!" Yu Suai ran to the door without looking back and put on her shoes in a hurry.

He Jiu followed him unhurriedly and left the residence with the other party.

The studio is located in the neighborhood next door, only about a five-minute walk from their residence. Counting the trivial time of waiting for the elevator and changing shoes, it will not take more than ten minutes at most.

Although such a distance is unsafe, it is actually not as unsafe as imagined.

"You won't be looking for excuses to stay later, right?" Yu Suai asked.

"I'll take you to the door and leave." He Xiu pressed the elevator button.

"Well, remember to go to bed early when you get back."

"good."

"I will check the post at midnight."

"...How to check? Can you call me?"

"I'm sending you a message. If you're not asleep yet, just send me a message of your own accord." Yu Suai thought seriously.

"..." He Xu turned his head and glanced at her, slightly pursed his lips, "Okay, I will be aware of it."

The two took the elevator downstairs, chatted while walking, and soon walked into the neighborhood next door.

Yu Suai looked at the dark night and told He Ji interesting things about "Resident Evil".

"Did you know that the meme 'Hand Sanitizer God of War' has become popular on Weibo now?"

"Ah?" He Xu was stunned for a moment, "There are some here too?"

"What do you mean 'there's also one here'?" Yu Suai looked confused.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I seem to have seen this title elsewhere before." He Xu said calmly.

The so-called "Hand Sanitizer God of War" actually refers to the male protagonist Yin Sen in "Resident Evil".

Because no matter how injured Yin Sen is in the game, he can be resurrected with full health as long as he washes his hands with first aid medicine.

Because this setting was so outrageous and full of flaws, players would complain from time to time, and eventually the meme "Hand Sanitizer God of War" gradually formed in the player community.

There is no malicious intent in this meme, it is just a joke.

"So, did Yin Sen become a mushroom?" Yu Suai asked.

Ordinary people in "Resident Evil" turn into monsters because they are infected with a special kind of mold.

People infected with mold will become almost impossible to kill due to the powerful repair ability of mold.

This characteristic is very similar to the situation of the protagonist Yin Sen, the "God of Hand Sanitizer".

Therefore, many players suspect that Yin Sen may have been infected by fungus not long after the game's plot began.

"What do you think?" He Jiu smiled.

"You say it again?" Yu Suai tilted her head and glared at him.

"All right……"

He Ji gave up decisively, "As for this issue, you will know when we release the sequel to "Resident Evil"."

"Is there a sequel?" Yu Suai said in surprise.

Except for the many sequels to the "Rust Lake" series, this guy has never made a sequel to another game.

Did the star who dug holes but didn’t fill them finally change his gender?

"Yes, but the production time is to be determined."

“What does pending mean?”

"It's just that there are no plans to release a sequel in the past two years." He Xu explained seriously.

"..." Yu Suai was silent for two seconds and said, "Then you'd better tell me your answer directly."

"This will be a spoiler." He Jiu was a little embarrassed.

"Who cares if you spoil it or not!"

Yu Suai glared at him, "Will you tell me or not?"

"All right……"

He Xiu responded, then turned around and said, "We're here."

He stopped in front of the gate of the residential building where his studio was located.

"So what if we arrive?" Yu Suai was puzzled.

"My mission is accomplished..."

He Xu pursed his lips slightly, "So it's time for me to go back...bye!"

After that, he turned around and ran away without giving the other party any time to react.

Yu Suai froze on the spot for three seconds before suddenly reacting.

"You lied to me again!" she said angrily.

"I'm not lying to you, I'll tell you tomorrow." He Jiu shouted from a distance.

"what time tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is tomorrow."

"You said you didn't lie to me!" Yu Suai gritted her teeth.

Tomorrow comes tomorrow, who knows how long the other party can delay!

"I'll tell you sooner or later anyway." He Hu waved his hand towards her and disappeared around the corner.

I didn’t receive any phone calls or WeChat messages from Yu Suai along the way.

When he was approaching his residence, he unexpectedly received a call from Wang Jingyao from the official game media.

"Hello, Uncle Wang?"

"Are you out? Have you eaten?"

"After eating, come out and take a walk."

After He Jiu finished answering, he went straight to the point, "What's the emergency?"

"I'm not in a hurry, but I do want to know some of your thoughts." Wang Jingyao's tone was very serious.

"About which game?" He Ji asked helplessly.

""Resident Evil"... have you played it?"

"Passed the level."

"how do you feel?"

"not bad."

"Do you have any ideas for making a similar game?" Wang Jingyao asked seriously.

"Uh...why do you ask that suddenly?" He Xi asked in confusion.

"Of course it's still a matter of grading and review." Wang Jingyao didn't want to hide his intention and directly answered.

"Grading and review..."

He Xu opened his mouth slightly and said in surprise, "You are already considering the classification and review of "Resident Evil"?"

If this is true, that’s great news!

Although he knows that even if "Resident Evil" can pass the review in China, it will definitely be subject to many restrictions in the end.

But it has finally passed the trial!

As long as this restriction is opened, he is confident that more "appropriate" games can be approved in China.

In this way, the domestic game market will become more colorful.

By then, when it comes to large-scale games, domestic games may not be able to compete!

"It's not yet certain whether to let "Resident Evil" enter the domestic market. The game platform is still considering it."

Wang Jingyao said calmly, "You haven't answered me yet. Do you have any ideas for making a similar game?"

"Not yet."

"Not yet? Does that mean there might be in the future?"

"maybe."

He Xu chuckled and said, "Who can say what will happen in the future... After all, if we want to express some profound things in the game, we often have to touch on some large-scale content, which we cannot

Avoided."

"Well...I know." Wang Jingyao responded in a low voice, and then seemed to be lost in thought and said no more.

"If "Resident Evil" can really pass the review, what restrictions will you impose on it?" He Xing asked.

"Minors are prohibited from purchasing."

"Then what?"

"No more." Wang Jingyao said calmly.

"No more?" He Xu looked surprised, "Is this restriction too loose?"

Although he himself is the producer of "Resident Evil", he still feels that this condition is too good!

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the prerequisite for this game’s approval be to delete all large-scale content?

What the hell is minors prohibited from purchasing?

Can adults just buy all kinds of large-scale games?

Can a small game like "Mirror" appear openly on domestic game platforms?

"Because the reality is that we want it to enter the country, not that it wants to enter the country." Wang Jingyao explained.

"That's it..."

He Jiu responded, "In other words, your loose restrictions are only for the game "Resident Evil"?"

"Absolutely." Wang Jingyao responded.

"Then why do you want "Resident Evil" to enter the country?" He Jiu asked curiously.

In fact, he could probably guess the answer, but he still wanted to hear the other person say it himself.

"Because this will create another type of game in the country." Wang Jingyao replied.

"Yes, I understand." He Xu pursed his lips.

"Okay, let's stop talking here first. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Wang Jingyao said.

"So...Uncle Wang, you came to me today just to let me know?" He Xun asked.

"You could say that."

Wang Jingyao smiled and said, "If you want to play large-scale games in the future, remember to contact me first and I will check it for you."

"Okay." He Xu agreed with a smile.

The exchange is over.

He Xu put away his cell phone and silently returned to his residence.

If nothing unexpected happens, "Solar"'s account on the official Neon gaming platform should receive some special private messages soon.

Hmm... He still has to seriously consider whether he should agree to the conditions put forward by those private messages.

…

the other side.

Wang Jingyao, who was standing on the balcony, hung up the phone and turned back to the study.

In the study room.

Du Rongshan is sitting in a chair, playing "Resident Evil" attentively.

"Is it almost done? Can we go back?" Wang Jingyao asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll pass the level soon..." Du Rongshan didn't move.

"You're old enough to still play this kind of scary game...don't rely on me if you get scared of a heart attack!" Wang Jingyao curled his lips.

"Don't worry, I've been playing for more than ten hours and I have long adapted to the rhythm of this game."

Du Rongshan chuckled and said, "Sit down quickly and watch me play with monsters."

"Tsk, you're the only one who still plays tricks on monsters? If you don't get scared by monsters and scream, you're considered promising!"

Wang Jingyao mocked, sat down next to him, and said, "I mentioned this to He Xu."

"How did he say?"

"He said that they will probably also make large-scale games in the future...that is, games that are more in-depth."

"fine."

"What about this game?"

"When I clear the customs, I can contact the platform." Du Rongshan said.
