Jester listened quietly to Fu Zan for a while, but he didn't speak.

When Fu Zan was almost finished, Jester smiled and asked, "So, Mr. Fu, if I asked you to make a completely independent game of your own, what would you do?" ”

Fu Zhan, who was still excited just now, wanted to blurt out his thoughts, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that he didn't know anything about how to make a game, he opened his mouth, and his face gradually turned the color of pig liver, but he didn't say a word.

Jester wasn't surprised by this, many people were interested in making zuò games, and when he did do it, he didn't know what to do.

Yes, a game is a program, but a game is more than just a program, and being able to write a program is not the same thing as being able to make a game.

After a pause, Jester asked again, "Have you ever heard of Mars entertainment?" ”

This time Fu Zan nodded, but Jester was a little surprised, it stands to reason that his company's reputation is unlikely to spread here.

Seeing the puzzlement on Jester's face, Fu Zan took the initiative to explain: "In an arcade hall in Fuzhou, there is an arcade machine of Mars Entertainment, and the boss is very rich. As he spoke, Fu Zhan's face showed an excited look again, "I've also been there, and those games are really good." ”

This made Jester laugh, and he thought for a moment before asking, "Did you come from Hong Kong?" ”

Fu Zan nodded, he hesitated, and said: "It was transferred from Hong Kong to Shishi first, and then to Fuzhou, it is said that the owner of that store specially ordered the goods, but the arcade machine of Mars Entertainment is very expensive, and it is available in Fuzhou, and other game halls can't afford it at all." And the price of playing once is not low, and those who can play are those people, and a store is basically saturated, if it weren't for the owner of that store who is a fun person, he wouldn't be able to get in. ”

Jester oh, he did underestimate some domestic players now, he really didn't expect that his game could spread to China, after all, his company was established for too short a time, so look at it, the domestic channels are very well-informed.

And he has also heard of Shishi, this city only three hours away from Fuzhou, is the largest distribution center of commodity smuggling in the 80s, nicknamed the city of smuggling, and it can even be said that at that time, the domestic FC machine qì was basically all through the private dock of Shishi to go ashore to pass the customs, before the shocking case in 99, the rampant smuggling here is simply sensational.

Not only game consoles, but any goods you can imagine are constantly flowing from this town to all parts of the country, so much so that Shishi Bus Station has become one of the most long-distance bus routes in Fujian Province. Fuzhou not only became the largest distribution center for FC game consoles, but also the assembly plant of the 'Little Genius' compatible machine, which later occupied half of the domestic red and white machine market, as well as alien technology that was engaged in copycat FC games, were located here.

It's just that Jester didn't expect that the current smuggling of Shishi has such a scale, after all, commodities worth tens of millions of dollars are not smuggled anywhere.

However, this is not a question that Jester needs to care about, he is interested in the game machine hall that Fu Zan said, so he continued to ask: "How many games are there in that game machine hall you said?" ”

Fu Zan frowned and thought for a moment, before saying: "The last time I went, there were four, a square, a Zuma, a jewel maze, and a bubble dragon, and the most people played were cubes, but the owner of the store said last time that he heard that Mars Entertainment recently released a game called Snowman Brothers, which is of the same type as Donkey Kong, and he saw if he could get it from Hong Kong, but I listened to his tone at the time, and it seemed that it was difficult to get it." ”

After a few more words, Jester saw that the time was almost up, and he was ready to say what he wanted to do with him.

"Do you know what I do?"

Hearing Jester ask him this, Fu Zan glanced at Jester a little strangely, and then he said with some uncertainty: "When they came to me, they said that you were a big investor from the United States, the kind of tens of millions, but I think you are so young......

"Doesn't it look like it, does it?" Jester smiled, he didn't hide it anymore, and said directly, "Actually, I'm the boss of Mars Entertainment that I said before, and the games you mentioned before are all made by my company." ”

"Ahh

Hearing this, Fu Zhan couldn't help but open his mouth wide, he looked at Jester as if he had seen a ghost, those games that made him fascinated were all made by this young man in front of him who was much younger than him? But how is this possible!

"Huh." Jester's laughter woke up Fu Zhan, who was in shock.

He stood up, and Jester also felt a little tired when he was always sitting, he stretched his arms and expanded his chest, which first calmed Fu Zhan's mood completely at this time.

After waiting for a minute or two, Jester saw that the look in Fu Zhan's eyes was normal, and then he spoke: "Before, you said that you wanted to make a game like Atari's "Canal Wars", I asked you what you would do if I asked you to make a game, but you couldn't say anything, I think it's unlikely, I think the Atari game you changed is good, you don't know anything about it, so I ask you again, do you really not know how to make a game?" ”

Fu Zan now knew Jester's identity, and when he heard the other party ask him this question, he suddenly became a little embarrassed.

He felt that he had been talking about the game in front of such a character in the past, and it seemed that he was a little unscrupulous.

He shook his head and said, "No, I thought about it just now, and found that the games I thought of were basically the same as the games I had played before, and I couldn't get rid of the influence of these games on me at all. ”

Jester nodded and fell silent.

From the previous conversation, he found that the Fu Zan he had always wanted to meet was not the kind of talented designer he wanted. It may be difficult to get him to design a brand new game on his own, but from the games he later changed, you can see that he is a great game perfecter, and he can find some shortcomings in a game and make up for them. This is not bad, after all, the first generation of gamers in China did not have the atmosphere of being exposed to games since childhood in the United States or Japan, so it is difficult for them to have the same keen game intuition as those great designers in these countries.

Fu Zan is already one of the best, but he is still far from the truly talented designers of this era of video game explosion.

But despite this, Jester still made a decision, he was still ready to invite Fu Zan to the United States for an internship at Mars Entertainment for half a year, to learn the system of game production, so that he could get in touch with how real game companies make a game.

Then let him come back and set up a branch in China, hoping to train a few talented game designers for himself.

To tell the truth, whether it is now, or in the future, at least two thousand years ago, there is no future for making games in China, piracy is rampant, almost so that genuine games have no room to live, and later Fu Zan recalled the words of this time, if there is a chance, he will also do original, it sounds simple, it seems to be the expectation of a game person, but in the eyes of those designers who really love games in that era, this sentence, every word is blood.

If you are not a god, it is impossible to change the status quo in the country, but you can change people and leave at least some seeds.

However, there are two flowers, one for each flower.

Indeed, the current domestic environment is bad, and it is impossible for them to sell games in China, which has long been foreseen, but piracy has not tasted the benefits of piracy, and the current domestic economic conditions are too poor, but it does not mean that the future is also bad, after two thousand years, although the mainland still can't sell genuine stand-alone games, but online games have become the mainstream.

Blizzard's World of Warcraft was able to achieve incredible success once it was released on the mainland, although the quality of World of Warcraft is indeed outstanding, far beyond any game of the same era, and Blizzard's games have made a reputation in the hearts of players in the mainland in the past ten years. And how did Blizzard's reputation grow? Although I don't want to admit it, Jester still wants to say that it is relying on ten years of piracy, which is unintentional, and of course Blizzard is unwilling, but it is because of the countless pirated games in the past ten years that have flooded the country, so that domestic players have played one after another Blizzard boutique games, so that the concept of Blizzard's production must be a boutique is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the magic star has become the belief of some people, and those children who play Blizzard games will gradually grow up, and World of Warcraft will achieve that incredible success in China.

It is true that World of Warcraft is a good game, but without the blessing of the end of this decade, it is absolutely impossible to burst out with the terrible energy that will upgrade the entire Internet café across the country and achieve that brilliant success.

What Jester wants to do is to plant the seeds of Mars production, which must be high-quality in the hearts of the earliest players in China, and wait for this seed to blossom and bear fruit in the future, and then he can harvest a harvest far beyond the current investment.

"Mr. Fu, are you interested in going to the United States Mars Entertainment Company for a six-month internship, of course, I will pay you enough salary for your living, if your internship results are qualified, then I can arrange for you to return to the mainland to set up a Mars Entertainment branch, and you will be the person in charge." Jester looked at Fu Zhan, who was still a little nervous in front of him, and said in a flat tone.

"To the United States?" Obviously, Fu Zan was also shocked by Jester's words.

But Jester nodded disapprovingly, and once again, in a very affirmative tone, said, "Yes, to the United States." ”
