Jester hadn't actually met Kewen before that.

When he was in the last world, he actually didn't even see each other's photos, of course, this time he had seen each other's photos before meeting Li Kewen.

However, Jester has seen their descriptions of Li Kewen in some other people's reminiscence articles, so it is more interesting to compare them here.

The article I read at the beginning was an editor of a game who was very familiar with Li Kewen, and he admired Li Kewen very much in his own words, for example, how he knew Li Kewen, because his simulator was the only and only one of the GB simulators written by Chinese people at that time, and he had one at the same time, he also learned software.

Writing an FC simulator is often complacent in the editorial department, and as we all know, the simulator is a very complex program, it is very difficult to complete a perfect, smooth and stable simulator, it is not easy to make an FC simulator, but to make a GB simulator, it is not known how many times more difficult.

That's it, the editor got in touch with Li Kewen.

Li Kewen has had uremia since he was a child, and one of the things he often says is that he has been battling this disease all his life.

Jester didn't choose to meet him at Mars Entertainment's headquarters, as he felt that the place was too formal and not suitable for a more casual exchange.

The location chosen is a café in the imperial capital.

And Li Kewen came on a 26-inch bicycle, the same as the other party Jester had seen in the photo before, a very thin and tall boy, with a somewhat shy smile on his face, childish, and the bike he was riding was different from others. His car has no back seat, and his basket is placed in the seat of the car.

Obviously, Li Kewen had seen Jester's photo.

The coffee shop has been chartered by Jester, which is not that Jester is willing to do this, but the domestic party deliberately did it for his safety, after all. Jester isn't your average character either.

Even when Jester proposed to meet Li Kewen, Li Kewen had to be judged by the domestic people and politics for three generations.

"Curious why I want to see you by name?"

Jester looked at Li Kewen with a nervous look on his face, and asked like this, and Li Kewen was indeed a little nervous, after all, it is impossible not to be excited and not nervous when he saw his idol since he was a child. The name Lee can be said to be a frequent companion.

"I'm here to see you today as the same player." Jester continued with a smile. "I don't mean anything else, I'd love to talk to you about games, but I think I need to say why I'm specifically calling you for a name."

Hearing Jester say this, Li Kewen naturally nodded.

"It's actually very simple, your emulator is really good, and it was Yuji Naka who told me at the beginning that he was a programmer maniac. I like to study some of the simulators the most, and that's how it was ten years ago. I still have this hobby.,He once told me that he just found a very good GBA simulator.,It can even be said to be the best.,It's said that the developer of this simulator is a Z country.,And it's independently developed.。 He thought this guy was amazing, so I became interested in the simulator. ”

When he heard Jester talk about the simulator he developed, Li Kewen's face first showed a little pride, but it quickly disappeared, and he immediately thought of it. His simulator is a simulation of the opponent's game console.

Therefore, he apologized anxiously: "I'm sorry ......"

But Jester didn't care, he just waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this, although I don't like this kind of behavior, because he has caused losses to my company, but your simulator has also allowed many domestic people to have access to the games I made, so that they can get pleasure from my games, I think this is also a good thing." ”

"By the way, do you like football?"

Hearing Jester suddenly ask this question, although Li Kewen didn't seem to understand, he didn't know why his idol suddenly asked this question, but he still nodded: "When I was a child, I accompanied my dad to watch Serie A, and I gradually fell in love with Milan ......"

After hearing Li Kewen's answer, Jester also smiled and nodded.

Said: "I'm a Manchester United fan, of course, I'm also the head of Manchester United~ seats, before I was talking to Manchester United's manager Mr. Alex Ferguson - oh, now it should be called Jazz, when I talked to him again, I asked him what he thought of his work, you know, I thought his answer would be a little more formulaic, for example, in order to win more titles, in order to be worthy of my trust, for this and for that ......"

"However, his answer was very surprising to me, and after thinking about it for a while, he told me in a very solemn tone that he felt that as a manager of Manchester United, his job was only one thing, and that was to make the fans happy when they left the stadium."

"I was very inspired by his answer at the time."

"I think I should have the same attitude when making games, I shouldn't think about how much money I can make with this game, what I should think about is, will the players be happy after playing this game?" ”

"If they're happy, I think I'm worth it, and if they're bored, then no matter how much money the game makes, it's not fun for me at all - at the end of the day, I'm a game designer, not a businessman."

Li Kewen was also listening quietly.

"That's all here first, after Yuji told me before, I was going to go to Carmack to talk about something, so when I was chatting with Carmack, I talked about your simulator, and Carmac became a simulator This thing is a child's thing, but he still looked at this simulator for the sake of my face, and then told me."

"The person who wrote this simulator should be a newbie, and it's obvious from his code, but it's also clear that it's a very talented person. Very thoughtful people, such people, are born programmers. ”

"You know, born programmer, Carmack's highest opinion of a programmer when he was entertaining on Mars. I've always been the head of technology, and I can say unceremoniously that we at Mars Entertainment can be called a lot of talent in terms of software, but there are no more than five people who can be evaluated by Carmack as a natural programmer. ”

"Each one of them has a great reputation in the industry."

Hear Jester say this about himself. Li Kewen must have listened enthusiastically, after all, as a programmer, John. The name Carmack is as high as a god, and the god of programmers is definitely not just a matter of words.

Because the whole world doesn't know how many people see the kamak as their spiritual leader, or even a spiritual teacher.

"Did Mr. Carmack really say that about me?" When Li Kewen said this, you could hear the excitement in his tone.

Jester nodded, "Of course." ”

"That ......"

However, after Jester nodded his head to confirm, Li Kewen didn't know what to say.

It is precisely because of this assessment of Mr. Carmack. That's why I pay special attention to you, so. It was only then that people collected the identity of the author of the simulator of the Z people, and the information surprised me even more - because the producer of this simulator was only nineteen years old, and he was still a student who had just graduated from high school, I was very curious, and I really wanted to meet this person, so I made a phone call to Fu Zhan. ”

said. Jester paused for a moment, then added, "You know, after I learned about you, the shadow of a person that appeared in my mind was Carmack, and you really resemble him. When he was your age, he came to my company and told me that I was better than your programmers, and I hired him, because I knew he was really better than my men, and much better. ”

"I ......"

For Jester's such praise, of course, Li Kewen did not dare to bear it.

He just thinks he has a little talent in becoming, but it's not even close to what Jester said, you know, when Carmack was his age, he completed the first 3D engine of "Quake" by himself!

For Li Kewen now, it is simply an impossible job, such a large amount of work, that kind of incredible ideas and ideas, even if he is asked to do it now, he may not even have a clue.

Therefore, the reverence and admiration for Carmack is truly heartfelt.

"Do you like games?"

Jester suddenly asked Li Kewen like this, and Li Kewen naturally nodded without hesitation, he really likes to play games.

After hearing Li Kewen's answer, Jester nodded.

Then he asked.

"So, did you think that you would be working in this field in the future? Let's say if you're a game developer, a designer or a programmer, someone like me or someone like Carmack? ”

This question is actually a very avant-garde problem for people in China today.

It is actually difficult for a person who has not gone to college to say what kind of work he will do in the future.

It's the same with Li Kewen.

"I didn't think about it." He shook his head, a confused look on his face.

"Okay."

Jester wasn't surprised by this answer, or rather, it was something he expected, so he just said yes and then laughed again: "So there is such a hypothesis, if there is a chance in the future, will you play games?" Do what you think is the most fun game? To share your own joy with others? ”

This time Li Kewen did not hesitate, he nodded.

"If I have the opportunity, I will definitely not miss it, I really like games, and I also want to make games that can belong to me, just like you, like Mr. Fu Zhan."

His tone was affirmative.

However, Jester didn't seem to be too satisfied with his answer, so Jester repeated his question more specifically: "Are you really willing to share your happiness with others?" ”

"Of course."

After Jester heard Li Kewen's sure answer, he didn't continue on the topic.

Instead, I immediately changed the subject.

"From the relevant information, I know that your academic performance is very good, to be precise, it is very good, although the results of the college entrance examination have not yet come down, but I believe that you will definitely get the admission letter of the school you want to enter the most......"

Li Kewen also expressed his gratitude to Jester for his congratulations.

"You don't have to rush to thank you first, I just want to ask, have you ever considered coming to the United States to study?"

Jester asked with a smile.

"Going to study in the United States?"

When Li Kewen heard this, his head was clouded at first, and then he didn't know how to answer well, to be honest, those who can study abroad now are mainly at public expense, and they are also going abroad for further study after graduating from university, such as going abroad to study directly after graduating from high school, it can't be said that there is no, but even in Beijing, such a thing is rare.

As Li Kewen, who is not a wealthy family, of course there is no such opportunity.

"Didn't think about it." Therefore, Li Kewen shook his head.

However, Jester did not seem to be satisfied with this answer, and he asked, "What I want to know is, did you say that you didn't think about it, did you not want to go to the United States to study, or did you not think about it?" ”

"Of course, I haven't thought about it anymore - who wouldn't want to go to the United States to study? But there is not so much money, and those good universities in the United States cannot be so easy to enter, at least it is not easy to get into a better American university than Peking University and Tsinghua University. ”

Li Kewen said truth-seeking.

Jester smiled at his answer.

"I am very optimistic about your talent, which has been recognized by Carmack, and he even said, even if you go to Mars Entertainment to work now, you may be competent after adapting to a period of time, I am extremely convinced of his technical vision, so, the main purpose of my visit to you this time is to ask, if I can personally write you a letter of recommendation, let you go to the United States to study, can bear the cost of your study in the United States, and can even provide internship work, But if you need to work at Mars Entertainment for at least five years after graduation, would you like it or not? ”

"To put it simply, would you like to come to the U.S. to study? Willing to work in the U.S. in the future? Willing to work in game development? ”

Faced with Jester's unusually sudden question.

Li Kewen was instantly dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect that Jester would ask him such a question, as if a scallion pie smeared with chocolate in the sky smashed on his head in an instant, how could such a good thing fall on him like this.

He didn't even forget how to answer for a moment. (To be continued.) )
