Just when the whirlwind of the fairy sword was just blowing, Zhao Haiguang also began to run around to improve the public opinion environment according to the agreement with Zhang Lexing, taking a manuscript provided by Zhang Lexing called "What is the game?", and visited the newspaper in person.

In the newspaper office of an authoritative newspaper of the central government......

"President Qin, look at this......" Zhao Haiguang put his hands on the manuscript, leaned forward slightly, and asked with concern.

"Haiguang, it's not easy for you to do this. President Qin leaned back in the chair behind his desk with a look of embarrassment.

"President Qin, you also know that I am now the president of the China Game Industry Association, but now the public opinion environment for video games is too negative, which is very unfavorable to our work, can you see if you can ...... it?"

Before Zhao Haiguang's words were finished, President Qin continued: "Now this situation, I think you also know what caused it, it is really inconvenient for us to disagree at this time, or you wait for a while and wait for this matter to calm down." ”

"President Qin, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't want you to disagree at this time. ”

"Well, what do you mean?" asked President Qin puzzled.

"Let's take a look at this manuscript first. Zhao Haiguang put the manuscript on the desk and pushed it in front of President Qin.

President Qin didn't directly pick up the manuscript and read it, but asked rhetorically: "This is ......?"

"This is what I asked a veteran of the game industry to write, mainly about the popularity of game knowledge, and the topic is 'what is a game?'. It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I think that whether it's criticizing the game or agreeing with the game, at least the concept of the game must be clarified first, which is very purposeful no matter what you say, President Qin, what do you think?"

"Hmm...... There is some truth in what you said, and you have to figure out the object of the debate. But I'm going to take a look at this manuscript first, and as for whether it can be published, I have to check it from the editor-in-chief. ”

"President Qin, then I will leave this matter to you, but there is one thing you have to promise me. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"That is, this manuscript cannot be changed, because it is more professional, and if you modify it casually, I am afraid that it will affect the expression of the meaning of the article. ”

"Okay, if you don't change it, you won't change it. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Qin. ”

"You thought you didn't want to scream, boy. ”

"Hehe, Uncle Qin, didn't you talk about business just now. ”

"You......"

……

Such a situation was repeated in different newspapers, and after completing the visit to the newspaper, Zhao Haiguang was not idle, and continued to mobilize his own connections to promote the development of this matter. In the end, I don't know if the manuscript meets the requirements, or whether interpersonal relationships play a role in it, in short, the newspapers visited by Zhao Haiguang agreed to publish the manuscript, but because the manuscript has a large number of words, it can only be serialized and published in five issues.

The office building of a local party committee in the central region......

In the mailroom, Lao Li sorted the newspapers sent by the postman according to his usual habits, and then delivered the newspapers to the office one by one. Minister Chen of the Propaganda Department also made a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, and waited for the newspaper to arrive, as usual.

Still as usual, after three o'clock at nine, there was a knock on the door, and then Lao Li in the mailroom walked into the office of the Propaganda Department with a stack of newspapers.

"Lao Li, are all the newspapers here today?" Minister Chen asked after taking a sip of tea.

"The newspapers are coming. Lao Li replied as he skillfully pulled out a few copies from the stack of newspapers and put them on Minister Chen's desk.

"Lao Li, I'm glad to be miserable. ”

"It doesn't matter. Minister Chen, then I'll go first. Putting down the newspaper, Lao Li immediately took his leave and left the office of the Propaganda Department.

After Lao Li left, Minister Chen took another sip of tea, then put the cigarette in his hand on the ashtray, and then picked up the newspaper and read it. After flipping through the newspaper for a while, an article published in a central authoritative newspaper attracted his attention, but not because of how beautiful the article was, or because it had any direct connection with his work, but because of his experience, the article should not have appeared in such an authoritative newspaper.

This article is "What is a Game (1)", and the content of the article is like this: "

When it comes to the word game, many people's first thought is video games, which are the attractive gadgets in arcade arcades or game consoles connected to the TV at home, or those virtual time and space in computers. In fact, the history of the birth of games is very long, the game form of Go alone has a history of at least three or four thousand years, and even many people have played games such as horseback riding and fighting when they were young, and playing house have been around for a number of years, at least before the birth of video game consoles and computers.

If you want to talk about something, you must first give a precise definition of it, so what exactly is a game?

In Cihai, the game is explained as follows: "One of the important means of sports, a kind of cultural entertainment. There are intellectual games (such as chess, blocks, crosswords), activity games (such as hide and seek, carrying relay), and competitive games (such as football, table tennis). Games generally have rules that have a certain effect on the development of intelligence and physical strength. Look at the explanation in the Modern Chinese Dictionary: '(1) Recreational activities. Such as hide and seek, guessing lantern riddles, etc. Some kind of physical activity of informal competition, such as recreational ball, is also called a game. (2) Play. A few children are under the big tree~'

Kant's Theory of Freedom Game Theory: In the activity of internal means, the subject does not have to depend on external things and is therefore free. Play is the free activity (in terms of means) because of the intrinsic nature of the means. There are two types of games: games in the broad sense refer to all activities with an intrinsic purpose, while games in the narrow sense only refer to activities with an intrinsic purpose of emotional experience. Among them, there are two kinds of games in the narrow sense: "games of pleasure" are formless games for the purpose of pleasure experience, and "games of beauty" are formal games for the purpose of aesthetic experience.

Schiller's Harmony Game Theory: Schiller divided the game of living beings into two types, one is the 'natural game' of irrational (sensual) creatures, and the other is the 'aesthetic game' of human beings who have both sensibility and reason. 'Nature's play' is the activity of irrational beings in the sense that they are not oppressed by material needs and have a certain degree of freedom (but not complete freedom). 'Aesthetic play' is an activity of aesthetic freedom (complete freedom that comes from harmony) carried out by people who are both sensual and rational in an inner harmonious way.

Freud's theory of virtual games: games and real activities are the same in terms of the ultimate goal, and the difference between the two is only in the means or way to achieve the end, that is: one is real, the other is virtual or imaginary. That is, games are virtual activities in which people use their imagination to fulfill their own desires.

Hu Yiqing's game theory: game is a voluntary activity or pastime, this activity or pastime is carried out within a fixed time and space range, the rules are freely accepted by the gamer, but there is absolute binding, the game is for its own purpose and accompanied by a nervous, pleasant emotion and the awareness that it is different from daily life.

Gadamer's Fusion Theory of the Game: ......

It can be seen that there are big differences in the definition and thinking of games in China and abroad, and here for the sake of discussion, we will make a definition of games: the main purpose is to directly obtain pleasure, and there must be a subject to participate in interactive activities. This definition illustrates the two most basic characteristics of 'game': first, the main purpose is to obtain pleasure directly (both physical and psychological), and second, the subject participates in interaction. Subjective participation in interaction refers to the fact that the changes in the subject's movements, language, expressions, etc., are directly related to the stimulation mode and degree of pleasure.

This article has written a lot of theoretical knowledge, and Minister Chen actually doesn't understand it very well, but it doesn't matter, sometimes it doesn't matter if you understand the content or not, but the posture it represents must be clear.

Minister Chen felt that he understood, but there were some things that he could not decide alone, so he took the newspaper and went to the secretary's office. After some secret discussion between the two, Minister Chen returned to his office and dialed the phone number of the city newspaper.

"Xiao Wang, some time ago, you followed the party closely, and the critical reports you published were very good. Well...... Have you read today's newspaper?"

"Minister Chen, I'm watching. President Wang of the city newspaper replied

"Well, we must keep up with the situation, pay more attention to the latest news, and we must follow the party. ”

"Minister Chen, I understand, I will pay more attention. ”

Due to the appearance of a very neutral and simple introduction of games in the authoritative central newspapers, many local newspapers that actively followed up and pursued video games in the early stage began to relent, either because they did not know the direction and gave up reporting on this aspect, or simply reprinted the article, which can be regarded as keeping up with the form.

The principal's office of a middle school in the eastern region......

The newspaper in Principal Qian's hand also reprinted the article "What is the Game", and it was specially marked as coming from an authoritative newspaper of the central government. The reprinted article reads: "......

Classification, as a method of studying everything in the world, is a concrete manifestation of human inductive thinking. In the process of cognition of the game, the operation of the classification method is more obvious.

The classification method is based on the premise of classification criteria...... Although the forms of human games throughout the ages have been very different, they can be framed within four basic types of cognitive landscapes according to the two criteria of 'consciousness' and 'rules'. That is, with 'whether to mobilize the consciousness of the gamer' as the horizontal axis, and 'whether the game itself has rules' as the vertical axis, the coordinate diagram formed by the vertical intersection of the two axes is the specific style of the game four-way taxonomy.

Competition: both consciousness and rules, such as chess, billiards and most economic sports;

Simulation: Conscious but without rules, such as games such as children's playhouse, masquerade, etc.;

Luck: There are rules but do not reflect consciousness, such as roulette and other games that use dice;

Vertigo: Neither conscious nor irregular, such as a children's swivel chair or swing, a roller coaster in a playground, etc.

……

Video games can be said to be the culmination of the above four types of games, not only is the confrontational 'competition' essential, but also the 'simulation' factor that maintains a certain correspondence with the real world can be seen everywhere, and the 'luck' and 'vertigo' factors are also indispensable game elements of video games.

……

To illustrate why people are so passionate about games, we have to mention that one of the characteristics of video games is that most video games are produced by game development companies as commodities, and as commodities they must have the ability to attract people. Specific to video games, the essence of its ability to attract people lies in 'entertainment', in fact, any game is the same, first of all, there must be a certain 'entertainment', so as to attract people to play, as for other meanings attached to the game (such as learning a certain knowledge), it can only exist as an accessory, otherwise once the game loses its 'entertainment', even if it is added to the more clever meaning, no one can only play meaningless. Just like entertaining, there must first be 'fun', and 'teaching' has a place to attach, otherwise only 'teaching' remains, and where to talk about edutainment.

In fact, for adults or minors, video games are just a tool for entertainment, just like children often play horseback riding, fighting, playing house, etc., adults often play Go, bridge, singing, group activities, etc., or watching TV and movies, in essence, through victory or in the process of entertainment to obtain a sense of pleasure.

……”

The money principal mentioned in the article does not fully understand, but he still understands the sentence 'video games are a tool for entertainment', in fact, this is an obvious fact, but sometimes when a certain result is needed, there is often selective blindness. In fact, if this article appeared in a game magazine, even if Principal Qian saw it, he would laugh at most, but now the situation is different, sometimes the content of the article is not important, what matters is where the article appears.

"Could it be that the wind is about to change?" said Principal Qian mused, holding the newspaper.

There was a knock on the door, and Principal Qian raised his head and said, "Come in." ”

The door to the principal's office was pushed open, and the Dean of Students hurried in from outside, still holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Headmaster, read this newspaper...... I've seen it. The dean wanted to hand over the newspaper in his hand, but found that Principal Qian already had one in his hand, so he withdrew his outstretched hand with a little embarrassment.

"I've seen it, Director Hu, do you have anything to do?"

"Principal, we're not going to have a farewell video game pledge meeting next week, you don't think it's going to be held yet. ”

"Hmm...... This ......" Principal Qian is a little undecided, if you want to say it, if the wind direction really changes, wouldn't you hit the muzzle of the gun, but if you don't do it, you have almost already prepared, and it doesn't seem to be easy to say.

Director Hu noticed Principal Qian's hesitation, and somehow a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of an idea: "Principal, why don't we find a reason to push this matter back." ”

"That's a good idea, push it back, maybe you can see the direction clearly. Principal Qian thought about it in his heart and felt that it was no harm to himself, so he put on a smiling face and said to the director of education kindly: "Xiaohu, your brain is very flexible." I'll leave this matter to you, do it well, and organizationally believe in your ability. ”

Suddenly praised by Principal Qian, the dean of education felt like a fresh breeze, and his heart was very comfortable, so he immediately nodded again and again and took this matter down. It was only after he left the principal's office and walked for a while that he realized that he seemed to have done something stupid.

A city in the south......

Zhao Jing, as usual, picked up her child Wang Haoran from school after work, not that Wang Haoran was still young, in fact, he was already in his first year of high school, and it was no problem for him to go home by himself. It was because she was so obsessed with video games, often hanging out in those street game halls, and rarely returning home on time after school, that Zhao Jing had to take this extraordinary measure.

In fact, a few years ago, Zhao Jing also bought a home video game console for Wang Haoran, but unfortunately he and the child's father didn't understand this at all, so they had to let Wang Haoran toss it himself. Unexpectedly, he was out of control, he played some things all day long, and he also played without sleep and food, and the child's father smashed the video game console in a fit of rage. As a result, the family couldn't stay, Wang Haoran simply slipped out to play, in order to let him go home on time, Zhao Jing had to come to pick him up from school every day.

When I came to the gate of the school, it was just time for school to end, and as the school gate opened, a large group of children poured out. From afar, Zhao Jing saw Wang Haoran pushing a bicycle at a glance, and it often seems to be a little different today.

When the child came to him, Zhao Jing asked with concern, "Haoran, are you okay?"

Wang Haoran shook his head, handed over the newspaper in his hand, and then said, "Mom, this is what the teacher asked me to bring back to show you." ”

Zhao Jing took the newspaper and threw it into the car basket, then sat in the car, propped one foot on the curb, stepped on the pedal with one foot, turned back to her child and said, "Haoran, go home first, read the newspaper when it gets home." ”

Wang Haoran nodded, got on the bicycle, and pedaled hard......

When she got home, Zhao Jing supervised Wang Haoran to return to the room and start doing her homework, she took a short rest, and then remembered the newspaper just now, so she picked it up and read it. The content in front is very ordinary, and Zhao Jing has seen a lot, but when she turned to the back, an article called "What is the Game (4)" attracted her attention.

The article reads: "...... Game types are mainly divided into ACT, F**, S**, FPS, SLG, RPG, AVG, SIM, SPG, RAC, PUZ, MUG, ETC.

The full English name of ACT game is ActionGame, which means action game. In the game, the player controls the game character to destroy enemies with various weapons in order to get through the level, and does not pursue a complete storyline. Common games are Super Mario, Contra, Prince of Persia, etc.

"Super Mario" mainly depicts ......

The main plot of "Contra" is ......"

Next to these two paragraphs, there are also game pictures of "Super Mario" and "Contra", although it is not too clear, but Zhao Jing has already recognized it, it turns out that the game that Wang Haoran used to play on the screen is "Super Mario", and the game that she thinks is "Contra", according to the newspaper, "Super Mario" is to defeat the villain and save the princess, "Contra" is to resist the invasion of aliens, it seems that these two games are quite positive.

The rest of the article continued to introduce several other game types, and then the topic turned to genuine games and pirated games, at this time Zhao Jing knew that the game cards that he bought for his children were actually pirated goods, if it is a genuine game, not only must there be good packaging, the content of the game is also strictly reviewed, and the age group for which the game is adapted will be marked, and pirated games are mixed, with all content, mixed together and packaged and sold. The next article mentioned the street game hall, from the pictures and text descriptions, Zhao Jing heard for the first time, it turns out that the street game hall is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, a good street game hall is the kind of spacious and bright, beautiful environment, and there are different time limits for players who enter the game hall according to whether they are adults or not.

Zhao Jing saw at the end of the article that the source of the article was indicated from an authoritative newspaper in the central government, which shows that the content of the article is reliable, so on the other hand, his original understanding of the game is not completely correct, the game is not as bad as he imagined, in fact, there are good aspects.

After reading the newspaper, Zhao Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought, recalling her previous attitude towards games......
