Chapter 153: Retrospect and Prospects
Originally, Duan Shanshan said that he would invite Luo Siwei to dinner after the press conference, and by the way, he also asked Long Jiao if he was free and if he wanted to go together, Long Jiao immediately said that it was okay to eat, but I had to invite him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
You flew all the way from Seoul, Mr. Luo also took the high-speed train to come on a business trip, only I am working in Shencheng now, this landlord doesn't let me be who to be?
Duan Shanshan refused a few times, but seeing that Long Jiao insisted on disobeying, he had to go.
So the five of them left the company together, followed Long Jiao into his car - a silver Volvo XC60, Long Jiao took out his mobile phone and called his colleague who lived nearby, asking if there were any good restaurants in the area to recommend.
His colleague is estimated to be a well-known gluttonous foodie in the bustling Internet, and even asked him how many people there are, what flavors they prefer, and so on.
Long Jiao patiently asked everyone one by one, Duan Shanshan said that it didn't matter if he didn't eat fish; Luo Siwei said that Chinese food was good, but Japanese and Korean food and Western food were not used to it; Liu Kewei and Yuan Bin were not so familiar after all, and they smiled and said that the guest could eat whatever he wanted.
Then Long Jiao relayed the reply he got to his colleague, and soon his colleague gave an address.
Long Jiao followed the navigation and followed the map, the distance was not far, and after two intersections, he found this restaurant called Xiao Ji Shishen City Cuisine.
The environment in the store is very good, the floor, walls and ceilings and lamps are all decorated with a retro taste, and it looks completely like the style of the old Shencheng on the screen.
Long Jiao asked for a private room, and then ordered several dishes according to his colleague's recommendation.
The speed of serving the food was not fast, so everyone opened the conversation box and chatted.
The topic at the beginning naturally started with "Six Tribulations".
"With all due respect, this game doesn't look like a product of Naxon in any way, and the difference in style is too obvious. On the contrary, it is very similar to the work of the domestic team, and the three of you are all from the Celestial Empire...... What the hell is going on?" asked Long Jiao with a smile.
The question is very straightforward, and it is actually very simple to answer, but after all, it involves the inside story of some studios, and Duan Shanshan is not easy to explain, so he smiled and motioned to Liu Kewei to answer.
Liu Kewei hesitated slightly, sighed and said, "Director Long, you are not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you." In fact, our project was first invested by Mingzhou, and it was led by Manager Wang, who was the master of "Sui and Tang Fengyunlu Online", and later because of some problems, the team was disbanded, and several of us were unwilling to continue to do it, so we found Naxon......"
He succinctly explained the game's transition from the "Legend of the Six Paths" of the Holy Grail Studio, which was invested by Mingzhou, to the "Six Paths" of Naxon's Threesome Studios.
No wonder I always felt that this project was very similar to "Sui and Tang" at the press conference just now, so it made sense. Long Jiao suddenly realized, "The Manager Wang you are talking about is Wang Zhi, right?"
Liu Kewei nodded silently.
"I have the impression that Lao Wang is a good person, and his professional ability is quite strong, but it's a pity that he didn't make this game. Long Jiao sighed regretfully, "Where is Lao Wang now, do you know?"
"After the dissolution of the Holy Grail Studio, Manager Wang said that he would take a few people to make a mobile game, and then we didn't have much contact...... "Liu Kewei replied honestly, and at the same time reached out and took out his mobile phone from his arms, "Or, I'll call Manager Wang now to help you ask?"
Long Jiao waved his hand to indicate no.
"I have Lao Wang's phone, and I will call him myself when I am fine. Long Jiao smiled and said, "That's what I said." But Naxon was really lucky, and a pie fell from the sky and was delivered to his door. ”
"It's not that exaggerated, in fact, we offended two domestic game companies at that time, so it can be said that we were a bit desperate. Naxon was lucky to be able to take a fancy to our project. ”
Liu Kewei replied humbly.
"The bug you mentioned is the one that caused Ming Zhou and the Holy Grail to terminate the contract, has it been solved?" Long Jiao immediately asked him about the question he was most concerned about.
"You can rest assured that such a big bug will not dare to take out the project for closed testing until it is solved. Liu Kewei took out a bag of Liqun and saluted them one by one, except for Duan Shanshan who took one and left, everyone else shook their hands and refused, he didn't care, he ordered one by himself, and took a deep breath before continuing, "We deliberately asked Naxon's QA department to conduct a targeted test for a week, and the result was that this bug was not triggered once, and it should be completely solved." ”
Long Jiao then asked a few more questions, and Liu Kewei gave more detailed answers to the gameplay systems to be implemented in the next version plan.
"What do you think of our project?" After seeing that Long Jiao's questions were almost asked, Liu Kewei asked Long Jiao about his opinion on "Six Tribulations".
Long Jiao thought for a while, recalled what he heard and saw at the press conference, and said his opinion after consideration: "As far as the information I see so far is concerned, the gameplay system of this game adheres to the comprehensiveness and stability of "Sui and Tang", and everything that should be there is basically there; the plot setting is much stronger than that of "Sui and Tang"; because it has not yet been put on the test server and actually run a shot, it is still impossible to draw conclusions in terms of stability; but judging from the situation shown in the poster, the art resources are compared to "Sui and Tang" It's a lot of progress......"
Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan glanced at each other, and from Liu Kewei's eyes, Duan Shanshan could see that the other party was obviously relieved, and his self-confidence was also a lot stronger.
It seems that Lao Liu cares a lot about Maeda's opinion on "Six Tribulations", and it is estimated that he really regards the prosperous network as the most ideal candidate for cooperation, right?
"Maeda, is your bustling network interested in our "Six Tribulations"?
Long Jiao smiled dumbly, it seems that the main creators of the threesome really don't have a city government, they can't hold their breath at all, and they show their true mentality so obviously in two sentences, if this kind of rookie-level performance really sits at the negotiation table, I don't know how much loss I will suffer.
But after all, this is not a negotiation table, and we can sit and eat together in private, and we are all friends. Duan Shanshan doesn't need to say it, even Liu Kewei has known each other for more than two years since "Sui and Tang". There was no need to calculate so clearly, so Long Jiao chose to tell the truth.
"As long as you don't make any big mistakes in this closed beta, we are really interested in this game...... "Long Jiao said half a sentence, suddenly bought a pass, and took a sip of Wang Laoji in front of him.
Liu Kewei, Duan Shanshan, and Yuan Bin looked at him blankly, but it was inconvenient to urge, and they were all a little restless.
Long Jiao laughed, and then continued to analyze and said: "There are not many opportunities for Naxon Company to take out a game with good quality and publicly bid for the operation rights of the Celestial Empire, and this project of yours is unprecedented. To be honest, as long as the results of the closed beta match my expectations, I can almost say that I am aiming for the agency of this game. ”
Liu Kewei exhaled a long breath, this can be regarded as putting his heart into his stomach, but he was a little nervous after tasting it - there is a premise in Long Jiao's words that "the results of the closed test match his expectations" - God forbid, this closed test must not go wrong!
Seeing that the topic of conversation between Long Jiao and the threesome was almost over, Luo Siwei, who had been sitting quietly on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Brother sting, to be honest, I think it's a bit of a pity, the genre of this game is still not suitable for you. Luo Siwei and Duan Shanshan are also friends who are familiar to a certain level, so there is no need to hide their true thoughts, "I think you are still more suitable for the two fields of history and fantasy." Xianxia or something, you shouldn't be able to play it very well. ”
Duan Shanshan lowered his head with a smile and didn't speak, but Liu Kewei asked a little puzzled: "I think the copywriting that Uncle Duan wrote for our game is very good......"
Luo Siwei pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "That's because you haven't seen his historical texts and fantasy novels......"
Liu Kewei didn't hear this sentence clearly, and asked blankly: "What did you say?"
Duan Shanshan raised a hand and smiled to indicate that there was nothing to argue about this issue: "Teacher Luo, I don't want to be in one or two fields all the time, and it is also a rare experience for me to have the opportunity to try the creation of other themes." It is precisely because I didn't have enough accumulation in Xianxia before, and I also deliberately went to the imperial capital to ask the Red Army and the True Essence buddies for advice, so through the exercise of this project, I actually learned a lot of new things. ”
As soon as he said this, Luo Siwei couldn't refute it, and said stupidly: "Anyway, as a friend and as your reader, I still look forward to seeing your things in the field of history or fantasy......"
"If you have a chance, take your time, after this "Six Tribulations" is launched, our team will definitely have to open a new project, right, Lao Liu?" Duan Shanshan turned his head to Liu Kewei with a smile and asked.
Liu Kewei was stunned for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Yes, if you don't open a new project, can you still rely on "Six Tribulations" for a lifetime?"
"It's impossible for us to make two Xianxia-themed games in a row, unless it's a ......sequel to Six Tribulations," Duan Shanshan continued to ask.
"Well, that's right. And even if "Six Tribulations" really wants to have a sequel, according to the convention of online games, it will be at least three years later. Liu Kewei somewhat understood what Duan Shanshan meant, and showed a knowing smile, "Uncle Duan, did you suggest that we choose the historical or fantasy genre for the theme target of our next game?"
Duan Shanshan nodded silently.
"No problem, when we have time, let's sum it up and call Shang Xingning and Saiwen to talk together!" Liu Kewei expressed his preliminary opinion briskly, "But for now, our attention should still be on "Six Tribulations" first, only when this game is successful, our team will have a so-called future at all." ”
"I know. Duan Shanshan nodded in complete agreement, then turned around and winked at Luo Siwei and grimaced, "So, please look forward to our next work, Teacher Luo." ”
