Chapter 38: Notes on the "Concentration Camp" (2)
Brother Long ran into the main room, and the door soon closed again, and the noise of people chatting in the courtyard resounded.
"What kind of games do you usually play?" Zhang Lexing was idle, so he simply did some market research by the way.
Now everyone is talking about everything, some like the "Final Fantasy" series, some like action games like "Castlevania", and some like strategy games like the Three Kingdoms, like Sega's signature "Sonic", etc., and even Zhang Lexing also found that there are a few people who like computer games, but in contrast, they still come here to like game consoles, no wonder the magazine after the official launch is called "Video Game Software", it is really a group of people to gather like things.
However, speaking of which, these people can be regarded as more avid game lovers, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but think: "Do you consider attracting these people to your own company to be game testers, anyway, there are no real game testers in China now, I believe that with their enthusiasm, as long as they can persevere, they will definitely be able to do a good job in game testing, and maybe they can also discover game development talents from it." ”
Zhang Lexing has always agreed with Blizzard's point of view, believing that only people who like to play games can make really good games, so when recruiting employees, it pays attention to whether they have played games, if people in a game company don't like games themselves, how can they make works that satisfy players.
There used to be a small flower bed in the middle of the yard, but perhaps due to lack of maintenance, only a ring of red bricks and weeds in the middle remained. Zhang Lexing raised his feet and stood on the remains of this small flower bed, and then clapped his hands vigorously, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that most of the eyes of everyone were looking at him, Zhang Lexing began to release his own news: "Everyone, are you interested in doing game testing work?" ”
"Playtest, what does that do?" asked a slightly overweight man, aloud.
"Game testing, to put it simply, playing games from morning to night every day, you can also get paid. Zhang Lexing explained.
"There will be such a good thing, you will not lie to us, right. A tall, skinny man with a pair of glasses questioned.
"I'm definitely not lying to you, if you are interested, you can go to the Beihang Building in Madian Bridge in the North Third Ring Road, where there is a game company called Creative Workshop, which was only established last year, and is currently recruiting game testers. You can go and take a look, and you won't have anything to lose anyway. ”
Now the courtyard has become a pot of porridge, and people are arguing with each other in twos and threes, believing and not believing each other. After releasing the news, Zhang Lexing just jumped down from the small flower bed, and Lin Musen came over.
Lin Musen lightly poked Zhang Lexing and asked, "I said, are what you just said true?"
"Of course it's true, I can't go out of my way to make a joke about everyone. ”
Lin Musen took a step back, looked Zhang Lexing up and down carefully, and then said, "I didn't pay much attention just now, but now it seems that you shouldn't be a student." ”
"I never said I was a student, and when I met you before, I was really planning to go to Pioneer Cartoon, and then I heard you say that the editorial office here was preparing a magazine to introduce games, and I was curious, so I followed you. ”
Lin Musen thought about it carefully, it was really like this, he shook his head, who did he blame for his sloppiness. Sighing, Lin Musen asked again, "Then who are you?"
"I'm working on games, and that's the creative workshop, and I've been dealing with Pioneer Cartoons before, and I haven't been in touch for a while, so I wanted to go over and have a look, and I happened to run into you. ”
"Oh, I see, no wonder you just said something like that. Lin Musen showed a sudden realization expression, and then leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Is there a quota for the game test job you just mentioned?"
"Of course, it seems like twenty or thirty people. ”
Lin Musen whispered: "Alas, brother, it is fate that we can meet today, can you help talk to the leaders of your company and leave me a place." ”
"You are not from the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University, you are a senior, you should have a job assignment." ”
"Ahem, don't you know, college graduates are now encouraged to fend for themselves, and even if there is an allocation, no one wants to go to the land. The point is that we like to play games, and how can we miss such a good opportunity. ”
"Well, then what major are you majoring in Chinese?"
"I majored in Chinese editing, but my forte is playing games, and if you want to talk about my game history, it can surprise you. Lin Musen cleared his throat and prepared to introduce his advantages in detail: "I played ...... when I was not in elementary school."
"Alright, alright, stop, stop. Zhang Lexing knew Lin Musen's habits along the way, and if he let him speak smoothly, he couldn't stop for a while, so he quickly interrupted him, and then asked: "Chinese is an editing major, then the writing should be good." ”
"That's, our writing doesn't say anything, even the boss of the editorial department can afford us, if we don't need people for the time being, maybe we are also a member of the editorial department. Lin Musen praised himself for coming not polite at all.
"Okay, then I'll help you talk about it, but you still have to go there yourself and hand in your resume, so it will be more convenient. ”
"Okay, I'll prepare when I go back in the evening, and I'll send it over tomorrow morning. ”
"Don't make the mistake, the 8th floor of the Beihang Building. Zhang Lexing kindly reminded again.
"Don't worry, I remember, the 8th floor of the Beihang Building, you can't be wrong. ”
……
The time for the noisy and noisy passed quickly, and during this period, several rounds of people went into the right wing room to play games, Zhang Lexing not only continued to talk with Lin Musen and his friends, but also talked to the other two circles.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and as Brother Long's figure appeared at the door of the main house, the courtyard was quiet again. Also appearing with Brother Long was the man with glasses who asked him in before, judging from Brother Long's name to people, it should be the editor-in-chief Liu Wenyu, that is, Fufeng. The reason why the courtyard is so quiet may be because the smoke wind also comes out.
Zhang Lexing didn't stand in a daze like everyone else, but walked directly to the main room, since he was in a hurry, he simply took the relationship first.
"Editor-in-Chief Liu, Brother Long, how are you two!"
Seeing Zhang Lexing step forward to say hello, Brother Long was not surprised at all, but the editor-in-chief Xunfeng asked a little surprised: "Qiu Zhaolong, who is this?"
"Well, he is Lin Musen's friend Zhang Lexing, and today is the first time to come. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a friend of that little guy," the editor-in-chief Fufeng smiled and said kindly to Zhang Lexing: "Mr. Zhang, you are welcome to come to the editorial office to play." ”
"It's better to meet by chance, since everyone is destined to gather here, why don't I come to the east, and invite the colleagues in the editorial department to have a meal together at noon. Zhang Lexing sent out his own invitation, although Brother Long would definitely take care of the meal, but how could he be embarrassed to let him break the bank.
"Then how can it be done, after all, in this editorial department, I am also the host, how can there be a reason to let the guests pay. Brother Long didn't do anything when he heard it.
"Yes, how can I say that Mr. Zhang is also coming to the editorial office for the first time, how can I let you break the bank!" the editor-in-chief also opened his mouth to persuade.
"Actually, I'm here on behalf of the Workshop, which is a game company. I heard that you are preparing a magazine about games, which is the first of its kind in Japan, so I wanted to see if there were any opportunities for cooperation. ”
"This ......" Brother Long scratched his head, and his eyes involuntarily drifted to the editor-in-chief.
"In that case, let's go together. The editor-in-chief simply agreed.
"Editor-in-chief, do you want to talk to Mr. Lin over there......" Brother Long leaned into the editor-in-chief's ear and whispered.
The editor-in-chief Xunfeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we can make our own decisions about our territory, and we don't need to trouble everything." ”
"But I just promised to take care of the food of those people in the courtyard, and it would not be too unrighteous for me to go by myself. Brother Long looked at the people in the courtyard with an expression of disapproval on his face.
"It's okay, let's go eat together, I don't mind. However, it is better to find a small private room so that it is easier for us to talk about things. Zhang Lexing took it very generously, and he simply did it to the end: "But I'm not familiar with this neighborhood, is there any good place to eat?"
The problem was solved, Brother Long showed a relieved expression on his face, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the matter of finding a place is on me." ”
After saying that, Brother Long turned around and went back to the house, and it took five or six minutes before he came out, but when he came out, his face was full of joy, and it was eighty percent that the matter was done.
"Okay, the place is connected, it's not far from here, it definitely meets the requirements. Brother Long proudly announced his results.
……
After Brother Long announced that he was going to eat, the people in the courtyard erupted in the most enthusiastic cheers, and then a large group of people poured out of the courtyard, marching towards the place that Brother Long chose to eat. Tian Song is a little older than Brother Long, his expression is a little cold, and he has a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, he is actually from a philosophy background, and he doesn't know how he came to this editorial department. Old D Liu Rude's age is estimated to be second in the editorial department, and he looks like a teacher, worthy of being a graduate of Beijing Normal University, just chatting with him about games, he seems to know a little little.
When he came out of the yard, Zhang Lexing found that Ma Guanghai was still pushing a bicycle and wandering around, since he had already said it, there was no need to let Ma Guanghai go hungry alone at noon. Zhang Lexing waved his hand, called Ma Guanghai over, and then introduced the foursome of the editorial department, of course, he didn't say that Ma Guanghai was his bodyguard, but that he was his colleague.
After riding a bicycle for about ten minutes, I arrived at the place where Brother Long set to eat, the "Tiantianmei" restaurant, which is said to have been opened by a friend of Brother Long. From the outside, it doesn't look big, but it's pretty clean. When I walked into the restaurant, I found that the inside was bigger than I imagined, and it felt a little different.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, a happy fat man greeted him and said, "The three big tables and private rooms you want have been set aside, they are all friends of Brother Long, and they are also my friends of Xing Fatzi, if you need anything, just say it." ”
Brother Long patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Okay Xing Fat Man, this person is also here, let's serve the dishes first." ”
"Okay, you sit down first, and the dishes will be served immediately!" Xing Fatzi turned around and walked towards the kitchen, still looking happy.
……
The group went to their own battlefields, Brother Long went to greet those players who claimed to come to help, Zhang Lexing, Ma Guanghai, Xunfeng, Tian Song and Lao D walked into the small private room next to them, and talked about things by the way when they were about to eat, but I didn't expect that Lin Musen to be cheeky and follow in, in his words: "We are also infinitely close to the alternate members of the editorial department, how can I be missing me on such an important occasion." ”
Zhang Lexing glanced at the editor-in-chief Fufeng, but he didn't object to Lin Musen following up, so this guy, known as the "fifth person" of the editorial department, sat at the table in the small private room openly. Before anyone else could make a move, Lin Musen unceremoniously put down his chopsticks at the bowl of peanuts on the table, as if he hadn't eaten breakfast.
