Four years after Lan Jiashu left China, his elaborate second mini-game began to become popular in the European and American app markets with astonishing data, becoming a popular choice for foreigners in their leisure time.
Fortunately, Xiaoshu, who already has experience, did not sell his hard work stupidly, but chose to cooperate with a very strong game operation company in North America, adopting a ratio of four or six to enjoy the treatment of long-term dividends more easily.
Self-made young people like this, who rely on ingenuity, are the finest examples of the American Dream.
Therefore, although Lan Jiashu is still young in the game industry, he was still invited by the E3 conference that year to give a cutting-edge sharing lecture.
Being able to communicate with the best game producers and manufacturers in the world sounds like a pipe dream, and this treatment is obviously more of an element of glory for young people who are just starting out.
——
Lan Jiashu likes to be calm in everything, and he has worked hard for the appearance of the game show.
In the end, he painstakingly prepared a speech that had a very good effect, and as soon as he came down from the stage with his work card, he was surrounded by a group of good media and asked a lot of gossip questions.
Faced with such a warm scene for the first time, Lan Jiashu tried his best to behave like his father, satisfying their curiosity with clear logic and a few humorous jokes.
By the time I really had a chance to rest, it was already two hours later.
Lan Jiashu, who was in a state of flux, was drinking mineral water in the lounge to replenish his strength, how much he hoped that Hua Wan could be present and see his current results, but it was a pity......
When he was distracted, a Chinese sister who helped him contact him knocked on the door: "Mr. Lan, is it convenient to meet a few friends from Beijing?" ”
Lan Jiashu nodded blankly, and followed her out to find out that the so-called friend turned out to be the owner and CEO of several domestic game companies, and they rarely appeared together, and they wanted to promote products abroad this year, so they came to join in the fun.
It was also a coincidence that when I saw Lan Jiashu's speech as a Beijing boy, I went in to cheer together.
Although he was completely unfamiliar with these industry bigwigs, Xiaoshu still won the initial favor by complimenting the representative products of various companies.
"This is the founder of Yixun, Mr. Ning Yuan." The Chinese sister introduced a dignified uncle who looked nearly fifty years old and had the brightest smile.
As a successful businessman, Ning Yuan still often appears in the domestic media, and Yi Xun's place has a special meaning to Lan Jiashu, so he hurriedly shook hands and said hello.
"It's really a hero out of a teenager, it's not easy." Ning Yuan liked Lan Jiashu's confident appearance: "I heard that you are still studying? ”
"Yes, PhD at MIT." Lan Jiashu replied simply.
"Talent, which university did you study in China before?" Ning Yuan asked again.
"Tsinghua." Lan Jiashu replied.
"Isn't that an alumnus of me?" Ning Yuan seemed to be deliberately trying to win him over, holding Lan Jiashu's back and laughing.
"I'm an alumnus, too." The other bosses next to him were not to be outdone.
Lan Jiashu is no longer as indifferent as when he was a teenager, if he wants to develop his career, he has to accumulate contacts, so he always stands by the side with a smile and accompanies him, and even when he is invited to have a business meal with them, he has been bothering to chat with Ning Yuan to ask him for a new one, and finally got a lot of precious business cards before he was freed.
——
Walking in the lively exhibition hall of E3 again, Lan Jiashu is still reminiscing about the contact with those successful people just now.
He had no doubt that he would be able to achieve that kind of achievement in many years, but in addition to his hope, he was a little empty.
may have been interrogated too many times by those uncles and big brothers, and embarrassing questions such as whether they have a girlfriend or not.
In all fairness, does he still hate the ruthlessness when Hua Wan broke up?
If she hates, then she should really send a photo of herself and Ning Yuan immediately, and ask her to regret those derogatory words at the beginning.
But this kind of stupid and arrogant behavior, Lan Jiashu can't do it at all.
He never wanted to take revenge on her, but only hoped that one day, he would be able to regain the power to take care of Hua Wan.
Suddenly, an extraordinarily shrill noise arose out of thin air, interrupting Lan Jiashu's contemplation.
He looked up and found that it was a tall Asian man who was surrounded by a group of girls and walked to the lounge at the back, and then took a closer look, it was not the famous designer Xiao Yunshen or who was it?
Lan Jiashu blinked, and instantly followed with a malicious intention.
When he arrived in a quieter corridor, he raised his voice and shouted, "Teacher Xiao!" ”
Xiao Yunshen turned around when he heard this, his eyebrows and eyes were more mature than four years ago, he had a good temper, and said with a smile: "May I ask what's the matter?" ”
"Hello, I've admired the name for a long time, I didn't expect to see you here." Lan Jiashu rushed to deliver the brand new business card he had specially made two days ago.
Xiao Yunshen is like a fish in water in the game circle, and naturally knows that he has heard the name of this young man, so he curls the corners of his mouth: "It turned out to be you, and I am the long-admired name." ”
"Don't be so polite, I'm not used to it." Lan Jiashu said.
"Then don't be polite, don't call me teacher." Xiao Yunshen invited him into the lounge, sent his assistant to buy coffee, and then took the initiative to chat with Lan Jiashu with great interest.
After all, it's a young industry, and making a popular game is everyone's dream.
And Lan Jiashu is just the lucky one who has been quite proud of the spring breeze recently.
——
The two of them are both from Beijing, and they don't have much of a fight, but they can be regarded as acquaintances at first sight.
In the evening, Xiao Yunshen generously invited him to a high-end restaurant and ate with the other staff accompanying him.
Lan Jiashu found that this famous designer was actually very modest and easy to get along with, and he didn't seem to be as lofty as Hua Wan's eyes, but he had a lot of good feelings out of thin air.
His games are purely creative, and he is not very good at art and art, and he also asks a lot of related questions by the way.
Xiao Yunshen patiently answered them one by one, and then bent his eyes and asked, "What, do you want to make a big game?" ”
Lan Jiashu replied: "That's also a matter for the future, the cost is too high, I'm just curious." ”
"You don't look like someone who likes art." Xiao Yunshen told the truth.
"I ...... I have a friend who likes it. Lan Jiashu's mobile phone always has photos of Hua Wan and her paintings, and half of them have not been lost, and she still takes them out to see when she talks about this: "But they were all drawn by her when she was in college." ”
Xiao Yunshen has a very high vision, and he still has a harsh evaluation of the level of students at Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts: "It's okay, it's an entry." ”
"I think it's good." Lan Jiashu has no principles in judging Hua Wan.
Xiao Yunshen was originally an artist, and he seemed to belong to a playboy with rich emotional experience, and he instantly smiled knowingly: "Girlfriend? ”
Lan Jiashu didn't know how to answer.
To this day, he hates to admit to breaking up with Hua Wan in front of anyone, even though it was a fact.
"I'll leave tomorrow, you can go back to Beijing to find me." Seeing this, Xiao Yunshen smartly changed the topic.
"So fast?" Lan Jiashu was slightly stunned.
"The studio has a lot to take care of, and I'm here today to be a guest at a game launch, so there's no need to stay too long." Xiao Yunshen replied.
Lan Jiashu knew that his resume was amazing, and he belonged to one of the few designers in developed countries in China, so he couldn't help but ask selfishly: "When do I make a game, can I also ask you to be the art director?" ”
Xiao Yunshen was very friendly to this young man: "Wait for your thoughts to impress me." ”
Lan Jiashu fell into deep thought.
He has gained a lot of insight and confidence because of this game exhibition.
After arriving in the United States, it seems that the harvest is turning into a harvest at the speed of light.
It turns out that the cruel words said by my father are all right, only by striving to a higher stage and opening a wider horizon will he understand the vastness of the world and the meaning of success, if he stayed in Beijing as that little clerk, I am afraid that there will be no chance to eat with Xiao Yunshen at this moment.
But...... Wouldn't you be happy when you were a small clerk?
The name that Lan Jiashu cherished in his heart told him that no matter how far he walked, he would still be nostalgic for the past.
——
It must be admitted that it is precisely because of Hua Wan's relationship that the friendship with Xiao Yunshen is more important to Lan Jiashu than serving those big bosses.
After returning to school, he deliberately added Mr. Xiao to all social software, and then pondered various art problems to harass, after inquiring about the address of the studio, the gifts were also not missing, that kind of enthusiasm, people have to wonder if this guy has other plans.
On the contrary, the friendship with the boss and gentleman of Ning Yuan, who frequently poked out olive branches, was as light as water.
Three months later, Lan Jiashu heard that Xiao Yunshen was going to New York to participate in the event, and specially booked a plane ticket to support.
For this reason, Xiao Yunshen specially invited him to an elegant open-air restaurant for dinner to thank him, and then said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "There is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Lan Jiashu was puzzled: "What? ”
Xiao Yunshen seriously cleared up the relationship: "I like women. ”
Lan Jiashu suddenly fell into a mysterious silence.
Xiao Yunshen laughed to himself: "What do you want to do?" ”
"The girl I love, she is studying art, and she especially admires you and you." In order to prove his innocence, Lan Jiashu had to tell the truth: "When I chased her before, I went to great lengths to find you to sign for her. ”
"Really?" Xiao Yunshen has too many fans after all, and his eyes are puzzled.
"Well, I remember that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and my aunt was a publishing house, so I forced her to trouble you." Lan Jiashu recalled.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunshen actually said two words: "Flower late? ”
Lan Jiashu was surprised: "Do you remember?" ”
This fate made Xiao Yunshen, who was romantic by nature, have a good impression and smiled lightly: "Because it is a beautiful name, I remember it." ”
Lan Jiashu immediately became a nymphomaniac: "She is also super beautiful." ”
Xiao Yunshen asked, "What about now?" ”
The joy on Lan Jiashu's face instantly petrified, and shattered all over the ground: "When I came to the United States more than four years ago, we didn't get together. ”
"How old are you?" Xiao Yunshen raised his eyebrows.
Lan Jiashu said: "This year is twenty-seven. ”
Xiao Yunshen rarely sees such a long-term young man, although he usually says that the game is very straightforward, but when talking about girls, he seems very simple, so he can't help but wonder: "Are you a virgin?" ”
Lan Jiashu fell into a second lost silence, and then became angry: "Of course not, I have a lot of experience!" ”
"Oh." Xiao Yunshen ignored ruthlessly.
"What's so strange, don't you have a girl you want to treat specially?" Lan Jiashu asked.
Xiao Yun showed a look of reminiscence, and then smiled: "Sort of." ”
Lan Jiashu said: "This is not over, anyway, I will return to China sooner or later to find flowers." ”
Xiao Yunshen asked rhetorically: "So you want to use me as a mascot to attract your ex-girlfriend?" ”
Lan Jiashu hurriedly explained: "No, I can talk to you quite a bit, of course I treat you as a friend, but it's just ......."
Xiao Yunshen smiled even deeper, and didn't seem to be angry, but said: "It is also my honor if I can promote you lovers to finally become married, after all, in this world, there are really too few things that are happy and have results." ”
Lan Jiashu poked the steak in front of him: "If I can't find her, I'll beat her up...... Anyway......"
He let out a long sigh, not knowing what to explain.
Love was originally the most simple and transparent thing between him and Hua Wan.
As a result, at this moment, it was so confusing.
