National Game Producer

In the small courtyard of a single-family villa in Pingbei.

"Red Fox" Du Rongshan is half leaning on a bamboo chair, playing a game with the [Editor Resonator] with a leisurely look on his face.

Among the several new types of games that have appeared on the market recently, his favorite is "Plants vs. Zombies".

Just because it is friendly enough for middle-aged and elderly people.

As for games like "Oxoxia" and "The Binding of Isaac", the former requires too much brain power and the latter tests too much reaction. They cannot be played for too long and can only be used for entertainment for an hour or two occasionally.

With the efforts of "Fire Bearer", "Yunsheng", the two high school students from Qinglin Ancheng, and the former second-tier traffic producer Li Nansheng, there have been more and more new types of games on the market recently.

There is also an increasing trend of becoming mainstream.

Because of this, several popular first-line traffic producers in the gaming industry have begun to lose control.

They desperately want to do something to restore the basic base that they are constantly losing.

The first thing they thought of was to target and restrict the culprit of the "Fire Bearer".

However, "Firebringer" has mysteriously disappeared after releasing two new games.

The other party has no more new games on the official platform; there is no news on Weibo; there is no news on other social platforms.

It's as if this person has completely quit the Internet.

How can they deal with this?

As a result, several of the traffic producers chose to temporarily cease their activities and continue to work on their own announcements.

The remaining traffic producers are still thinking about some of their own little ideas.

The ones with the most determined attitude here are probably Fang Yi’s team.

As a new first-line traffic producer in China this year, Fang Yi's strength, status, and fan base are obviously much shallower than other traffic producers.

This resulted in the loss of basic base among all front-line traffic producers, but Fang Yi was the biggest one among them.

If his popularity continues to lose, it is very likely that he will fall back to the original traffic level of a second-tier producer.

This is something the Fangyi team absolutely does not want to see.

Therefore, the latest news about their studio's new works appears almost every two days, and every piece of news seems to be full of gimmicks, which can whet the appetite of netizens.

As for when the game will be released...

Sorry, even the internal staff of Fang Yi Studio don't know.

Anyway, just try your best to draw the pie.

As long as the cake is sweet enough, you don't have to worry about no one waiting.

They are counting on using this pie to cut more leeks to defend the final frontline of front-line traffic producers.

After Du Rongshan read Fang Yi's Weibo updates, he looked back and saw that "Plants vs. Zombies" had passed a level, so he took a breath and paused temporarily.

'The promotion of new types of games has become unstoppable, but the traffic-king pattern still cannot be shaken...or it cannot be shaken at all.

'If you want to change the entire gaming circle, you still have to use "traffic" to target traffic...'

He thought about it for a moment, and just as he was about to take off his VR glasses, he received a voice call on the [Editor Resonator].

The call was from Wang Jingyao, chief editor of the official gaming media.

"Hello?"

"I heard that you are going to be a judge for the national competition for high school students?"

"Well, they came to invite me, and I agreed when I had nothing to do." Du Rongshan replied.

"Why didn't I know about this?" Wang Jingyao was a little unhappy.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Nonsense, you are a commentator in our media, and I am your leader."

"What nonsense? I'm a special commentator! I'm in the name of your media, that's just to give you face!"

"It doesn't matter whether you are a special commentator or not, since my name is on the list, I am older than you!"

…

The two middle-aged people argued with each other like primary school students for a long time. They argued until their mouths were dry and their tongues were dry. Finally, they felt that they had nothing to argue about, so they returned to the topic.

"I heard that the chief judge is Zhou Kaiyuan?"

"right."

"If you let him review the games, will those new types of games that finally emerged in this year's provincial competition still have a chance to survive?"

"I have already talked to him in person about this."

Du Rongshan sighed, "Actually, he is in a rather tangled state now.

"On the one hand, he did have a certain fondness for new types of games after playing "Firebringer"'s "Pictured World", and he also thought that games could make certain breakthroughs and innovations in the education field.

"On the other hand, he felt that the games that came out after 'Firebringer', such as 'Legend of Sword and Fairy Tales' and 'The Binding of Isaac', all focused too much on the element of 'play' and were not very suitable for the education sector.

style, it is difficult to integrate them into the content of student teaching.

"In general, he wants to innovate, but he doesn't want to be too innovative... If I have to say a preference, then he probably prefers not to innovate."

After hearing what he said, Wang Jingyao couldn't help but sigh:

"The boss's thinking is still too conservative."

"There is no way, he just has such a bad temper, no one can persuade him." Du Rongshan said helplessly.

The two had followed Zhou Kaiyuan in the gaming industry for many years. They had received a lot of care from each other and had always treated each other as a true big brother.

Now, both of them want to hook up with this big brother and do something for the current gaming industry.

This can also be regarded as the last attempt to realize the unfinished dream of the three of them.

"Then we can only hope that there will be new types of works in the national competition that can impress him?"

"Tsk, you are quite imaginative, aren't you? Those new types of games like 'Firebringer' may not be able to impress him, so you want a group of high school students to impress him?"

"Then what else can you do?"

Wang Jingyao said in a deep voice, "New types of games are becoming more and more influential in the market, and those who have lost money are becoming increasingly unable to restrain themselves. How long can we alone hold them back?

"If we don't hurry up and get a few more important people to stand on the platform, the 'Fire Bearer' and the others might just be killed!

"The new type of games may have been successfully promoted by then, but the people who make games are probably still the same group of traffic stars... Think about it for yourself, if this development continues, will there be any changes in the gaming industry in a few years?"

"I know all this..." Du Rongshan sat up from the bamboo chair and wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

Both ends of the phone fell silent.

After a long time, it was Wang Jingyao who spoke first:

"Next time 'Firebringer' releases a new game, I won't be able to stop some public opinion... You can think of a way on your own."

"I'll try my best," Du Rongshan said dryly.
