Chapter 5: Divergence of Orientations

If it weren't for the fact that he drank the wine in place before, and the atmosphere was honest enough, it is estimated that the fat man would not be able to say his dream so calmly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

For ordinary people, this goal is no longer "a bit high", and can even be labeled as "unrealistic".

In China, it is not without people who have achieved similar achievements.

But who are they? Almost all of them have already been brought to the altar for worship, right?

For example, Jin Daxia, such as Gu Daxia......

If you push the time forward, you can also count Luo Guanzhong, Wu Chengen, and Shi Nai'an......

It's a bit reluctant to even compare Aunt Qiong Yao, after all, there is basically no possibility of adapting her old man's work into a game, right?

Moreover, listening to the tone of this fat otaku, it seems that he is not satisfied with only being an author, but also participating in the creation of different carriers and platforms in other capacities? Even if Luo Guanzhong, Wu Chengen, Shi Nai'an, Jin Daxia, and Gu Daxia are only creating as authors, right? Oh, Gu Daxia is a bit of an exception, after all, he has adapted some novels into film and television scripts.

At this point, Aunt Qiong Yao is better, the author, screenwriter, and lyricist are shoulder-picked, or the sentence just now, but unfortunately her works basically can't touch the game field.

Jin Daxia's identities are also many, writers, journalists, entrepreneurs, critics, and social activists, but unfortunately the latter identities are not directly related to "cross-carrier and cross-platform cultural products".

In this way, it is really Yuyuki Tomino who is the closest to this goal - his identity is there, director, producer, screenwriter, writer.

And the fat man in front of him, a small copywriter with zero days of experience in the industry, actually said with a shy face that his goal is Yuki Tomino?

After Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong understood the declaration of the fat man about his dream just now, the wine was gone.

It's scared to wake up.

This dream is too big, and in the course of their more than 20 years of life, they have never had such ambitions, not once.

Could it be that this is the gap between the ideological realms of the twentieth and thirtieth generations?

After the fat man finished speaking, it was a few minutes of coldness.

Looking at the eyes of the two colleagues and roommates who became a little strange, the fat man gradually regretted it. He just wants to be honest and say what he thinks, but now it seems that he is going to be regarded as a braggart king, right?

"Uh," the fat man hung his head and shook his head, "Am I a little too drunk? ”

The three of them stood up and went downstairs and came to the counter together to rush to check out, which is also one of the typical manifestations of traditional Chinese dinner table culture, right?

In the end, it was Che Guanglong, who first proposed to come out to eat, who won the right to pay.

―――――――― first met, I was the divider――――――――

The fat man frowned and stared at the monitor, he had been in this position for half an hour.

It was his first day on the job.

Some things didn't seem to be the same as he thought......

For example, this - "main story".

He squinted at Liu Kewei, this guy didn't look at those girls who were called thigh age or girls' generation today, and they looked like they were writing some kind of document.

It seems to be busy, what should I do?

But if this problem is not solved, he will not be able to get to work.

He scratched his head, patiently waited quietly, how could a guy with two packs of cigarettes a day sit in a chair and not get up?

Ten minutes later, Liu Kewei finally stood up.

"Lao Liu, come and get one?" asked the fat man hurriedly.

"Walking. Liu Kewei was stunned for a moment and readily agreed.

Luckily, I can smoke, the fat man muttered in his heart.

Liu Kewei led the fat man to the activity room, came to the hut where he interviewed with HR Manager Bing yesterday, and took out an ashtray from under the table that was exactly the same as the one in the conference room and put it on the table.

"By the way, this is our second smoking room, the meeting room is the first, and if there are people in both places, then we have to go to the staircase for a smoke. Liu Kewei casually made a joke.

"Well, I just want to ask," the fat man decided to get straight to the topic, after all, a cigarette didn't last long, "Why is there a main story?

Liu Kewei was stunned for a moment, put away his smile and looked at the fat man, "You don't want to write the plot?"

The fat man shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to write the plot, but I think it might be better if I don't need the main plot." ”

"Why?" asked Liu Kewei.

"I see that in the outline you gave me, the requirements for the main plot are, from level 1 to full level, the main plot must always remain in the task list of the protagonist, and once you hand in the task, you will automatically receive the next one?"

"That's right"

The otaku continued: "It also requires that you have to start from the first area of the first scene and run through every area of every scene?"

"That's right. ”

"Don't you think there's no openness and freedom in this way?" the fat man breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he could persuade the other party to agree with his idea.

Liu Kewei took out a box of hard Chinese, took one in his mouth, and threw one to the fat man, "Even if there is really no openness and freedom, but what do we want those things for?"

"Without openness and freedom, how can it be considered a good game?" the fat man shouted in a hurry.

"Who told you that a game is not a good game without openness and freedom?" Liu Kewei laughed happily, "World of Warcraft knows, right? Its missions are like this, one after another, running through every area of the map, do you think World of Warcraft is not a good game?"

"First of all, our project production outline has requirements for the number of subplots in the main story, and the main plot is much higher than the subplot, so it is different from World of Warcraft, there are so many side quests in World of Warcraft, and you can take on a bunch of tasks in a map that matches the level. And our planning for the number of side quests is far from sufficient. The fat man continued to argue with his temperament, "Secondly, I personally don't have a cold interest in World of Warcraft. ”

"The audience is different," Liu Kewei said very bluntly, "To paraphrase a phrase that Xu Zhuce often says, most domestic players don't like to make choices, and they are not used to thinking about it by themselves, so we must arrange what they do now and what they will do next." It is completely different from the game habits of foreign players. ”

"How do you know?"

"The Lord of the Rings OL is typical," Liu Kewei patted the fat man on the shoulder to show comfort, "It's a very popular game abroad, why doesn't anyone play it in China?" One of the reasons is that players who don't know what to do have are lost. This is the answer given by domestic players to "good games" with "strong openness and freedom". Let's accept the reality, the boss makes games to make money, not to make good games, which is different from what you think. But he's the one who has the final say, so you have to learn to play as well as you can in the direction he asks, that's all. ”

The fat man was silent, he was not convinced, but he understood his powerlessness in the right to speak.

"If you want to open up, don't say it's you and me, even if it's Manager Wang and Xu Zhuce, you can't cater to the opinions of investors? Even if you are an investor, you can't cater to the mainstream orientation of the audience? When everyone else is wrong and only you are right, you should understand that it is yourself and not others who are wrong. Liu Kewei stretched, stretched his limbs, and continued, "By the way, you said you don't like World of Warcraft?

The fat man thought for a while and gave two examples: "The King of Kings and the Sixth Heaven Demon King." ”

"One has been dead for many years, and the other has died once, and it has been struggling half-life?"

The fat man wanted to refute, but he knew that Liu Kewei's words were actually the truth, but he didn't want to accept it.

In the end, nothing was said.

"Let's talk about the Sixth Day Demon King, is it the one you played yesterday?" Liu Kewei lit the second cigarette, "Just take it as small talk, what attracts you to this game, or in other words, what aspects of it can bring you emotions such as happiness or a sense of accomplishment?"

"The sense of accomplishment when fighting the power king," the fat man thought, "you need to be familiar with the skills of each monster, determine the order of the fire output targets, and predict the skills that some monsters will use according to the length of the skill animation progress bar...... Otherwise, you can't win. ”

"It sounds complicated, a lot of players can't do it well, and frustration will cause players to lose," Liu Kewei raised his right index finger, "and continued. ”

The fat man groaned, trying to recall the various experiences when playing the game: "Pay attention to professional cooperation, the team division of labor is clear, the most common team combination is double shield, one recovery, one auxiliary and three outputs, and none of them can be missing." ”

"There's always a team that can't be made up or extra people, right? These people can only wait in a daze? It will definitely cause the loss of players. Liu Kewei put up the middle finger of his right hand again, "Is there anything else, continue." ”

"When you can't get together the whole team, you can open more than two!" the fat man couldn't help but retort.

"Double-opening and multi-opening itself will cause operational pressure on players, and what if someone is unwilling, won't, or unwilling to double-open and multi-open?" Liu Kewei shook his head completely unmoved, "Is there anything else?" ”

The fat man racked his brains and thought about it, and after a while, he gave an answer: "I am familiar with the distribution of the maze roads, and in the copy without the radar map, it is also very rewarding to lead the team as a tour guide." ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Kewei couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "There are those who are familiar with the map, and naturally there are those who are not familiar with the map, I'm afraid there are more of the latter, right? What should they do? Wandering around in the maze, and when the time comes, the mission fails?"

"Because you don't know the way, it will definitely lead to the loss of players. Liu Kewei raised three fingers and shook them in front of the fat man's eyes, "Have you found it? In fact, it will cause player loss to varying degrees. You're a high-end niche player, and your happiness is built on the pain of more people. Your game orientation is in conflict with mainstream players. The games you like, I keep saying that they are not good games, but they are destined to be niche games. ”
