Chapter 496: I can't fathom your true level
Friday, April 22.
In a café near Handong University, Pei Qian was drinking coffee while staring at the screen of his phone, silently reciting the contents.
Yesterday, He An of Mengguo Games agreed to come to Jingzhou, but whether he is willing to teach or not depends on the results of the test.
As for why the meeting place was chosen at this café instead of the Internet café...... The answer is obvious.
Pei Qian has been to the Touching Fish Internet Cafe too much, and all the clerks know him.
If you don't explain it in advance, the clerk will definitely show flaws; But if you explain it and let the clerks help you cover up, then too many people will know about this matter, and it is easy to leak the news.
What's more, opposite the Internet café is the halo studio, and Ruan Guangjian runs over to buy coffee every day, in case of a collision, Ruan Guangjian shouts "Mr. Pei" again, it will be wonderful.
Therefore, considering all aspects, Pei Qian decided to avoid his own industry as much as possible when they met in the future, and the less people knew about the matter of inviting He An to give a lecture, the better.
Anyway, it's just to spend money and learn knowledge, don't care about so many details.
At present, only Assistant Xin and the driver Xiao Sun know about this and work hard to cover for Pei Qian.
It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and according to Xiao Sun's report, Mr. He had already gotten off the plane, and it might be more than forty minutes away.
And Pei Qian has been reviewing since last night, except for the time when he sleeps.
As for what to review without textbooks?
Pei Qian pondered and meditated, and could only predict it.
He spent a lot of time yesterday to search out all the games He An had ever made, and it was impossible to play it again, so he could only take a general look at the relevant videos, and then take a look at the game's commentary and evaluation, and master some basic knowledge.
Anyway, as long as you don't behave too much at that time, and then use the tuition fee to express your sincerity, it should be appropriate.
After searching for the games He An had made, Pei Qian realized that this is really a senior giant in the domestic game industry.
Born in '69 and 42 years old, He An made his first casual game when he was 20 years old, and then made a well-known single-player RPG in the industry, and with great success, he founded his own game company, which is Mengguo Games.
His most recent game is a multiplayer national war RPG terminal game developed three years ago and still in good condition today, but after developing this game, he has become famous and is in a semi-retired state.
Such a big guy can be said to have witnessed the development history of the entire domestic game industry, and has also made achievements in many game genres, and is definitely qualified to give lectures to the vast majority of domestic designers.
It is impossible for even ordinary people to invite him.
However, this also poses a problem.
Pei Qian has too much content that needs to be reviewed by surprise!
With so many games, Pei Qian can only take a general look, and once He An's questions are a little deeper, most of them will not be able to answer.
Pei Qian was very helpless, but there was only so much time, and he was not a genius who could not forget, and there were many games here that were too old, although they were very famous at the time, Pei Qian had never heard of them at all, rote memorization, and the effect could be imagined.
I have no choice but to hope for my own luck and money ability.
In the process of memorizing the question, forty minutes passed unconsciously.
"Mr. He, this way." Xiao Sun pushed the door open and ushered a middle-aged man in his forties into the café.
Pei Qian immediately recognized He An, he looked younger than in the photo, although a little raunchy, but the confidence of a middle-aged successful person still inadvertently exuded in his gestures.
Pei Qian got up and greeted him and shook hands with He An.
"Mr. He, hello!"
He An smiled kindly: "You are Mr. Ma, right?" Fortunately, I will be honored. ”
Pei Qian also smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm Ma Yang." Mr. He, please take a seat. ”
The two sat down separately, and after Xiao Sun asked, he immediately asked the waiter to arrange coffee, and then went out to wait in the car.
Pei Qian had already told him that Xiao Sun would be in charge of He An's itinerary during this time.
On the one hand, it is a way of hospitality, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent goofs.
What Pei Qian wants now is to spend the 1.6 million as smoothly as possible, and not to generate some strange rumors.
The two of them chatted as they drank coffee.
He An looked calm: "I really didn't expect Mr. Ma to make some achievements in the investment industry at a young age, he is really a hero." ”
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Didn't Mr. He already make his first game when he was twenty years old and was well-known at home?" ”
The smile on He An's face was a little brighter, and it was obvious that no one would feel uncomfortable with this kind of business blowing each other.
"Mr. Ma may be talented in the investment industry, but game design is another matter entirely. I have already said before I came that I want to conduct a simple test, and I hope Mr. Ma will not mind. ”
Pei Qian nodded: "Of course." ”
He An took out a folded document from his bag, about three or four pages, and handed it to Pei Qian: "Mr. Ma can answer according to his own ideas, don't be nervous, this should be considered some relatively simple questions." ”
Hearing the words "relatively simple", Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief, if it was basic knowledge, it didn't seem to be a big problem to answer a passing grade for the content of his surprise review.
Of course, it should not be taken lightly.
Pei Qian took the test questions, took out the fountain pen that he had bought at a large price for the surprise attack but had only used it a few times from his jacket pocket, and prepared to start answering.
However, after seeing the title, Pei Qian was dumbfounded.
Scan a few questions casually.
"What kind of psychology does the success of Lonely Desert Highway take advantage of the player base? What is the designer's purpose? ”
"Why does the art style of Ghost Shogun stand out from the crowd of card games? How should designers balance their own needs with the inspiration of the concept artist? ”
"What was the original intention of the Fire Kirin of "Sea Fortress" to be priced at 888? What is the objective effect? ”
"What's so great about Game Producer's approach to marketing? What is the central idea of the game? ”
“……”
"What kind of thinking does the epitaph in "Turning Back to the Shore" reflect the designer's thoughts? What is the objective effect? ”
There are three pages in total, all of which are short-answer questions, and they are very thoughtful to leave blank space.
Pei Qian looked up at He An with a complicated expression.
Just quiz this???
I'm still going to be able to get to know the basics of this assault back game and the game you designed!
As a result, you are using the game I made to test me, what do you mean?
I knew I was doing this and I was searching for the game information you made? Wouldn't it be over if you rewatch all the videos of Qiao Laoshi!
Seeing that "Ma Yang" was surprised with a slightly confused expression, He An smiled slightly: "Hehe, Mr. Ma, do you think that I want to come up with some basic knowledge, or a game-related topic that I have done?" ”
"Those basics, all searched on the Internet, rote memorization is meaningless."
"As for the games I make...... I hate to admit it, but it's outdated. ”
"If you are learning game design now, you must learn the most innovative games."
"It just so happens that Mr. Ma, you are interested in games, and you happen to work in Tengda's investment company, so you want to have an understanding of Tengda games."
"Learning more about Tengda's design concept will help you the most."
"Well, as I said, this test is really not difficult, right?"
Pei Qian: "......"
looked at He An, and then looked at the test questions in his hand, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Forget it, what else can be done? Answer!
Pei Qian's pen walked the dragon and snake, brushed a little bit on the paper, and answered quickly.
He An was drinking coffee while waiting patiently leisurely.
……
Half an hour later, Pei Qian finished answering.
Although it didn't fill three pages, it was guaranteed that each question had at least three or five lines of words, which looked a lot like that.
Even if the short-answer questions are nonsense, you have to fill in the blanks, which is a good habit that Pei Qian has left since high school.
He Anle took the test questions and looked at them, and his expression quickly became unpredictable.
"The success of Lonely Desert Highway takes advantage of the masochistic psychology and barbaring psychology of the player base. The intent was to make players get bored in the game and abandon the game. ”
"The epic ink and oil painting impasto style of "Ghost General" is very special among many Q games, and the imaginative characters are also a plus. Designers should completely abandon their own needs and let the concept artist be free. ”
"The original intention of the Fire Kirin priced at 888 in Sea Fortress was to dissuade players from buying it. Objectively, it seems to have stimulated the consumption of local tyrants. ”
"What's great about the marketing of "Game Producer" is that the crappy marketing content unexpectedly triggers the effect of spontaneous marketing by the UP owner. The central idea of the game is that 'being misrepresented is the fate of the expressor'. ”
“……”
"The epitaph in "Turning Back to the Shore" reflects the designer's idea of trying every means to dissuade players, which objectively has the opposite effect and stimulates the rebellious psychology of players."
He An looked at these answers, his brows sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching.
Pei Qian drank coffee silently, his mood was complicated.
He hesitated for a long time, should he write his actual thoughts, or answer the question according to the content over-interpreted by Qiao Laoshi and others?
Although in line with the principle of honesty, you should write your actual thoughts, but in that case, it is estimated that Mr. He will have to run away by plane on the spot.
Therefore, Pei Qian could only be very ashamed to answer the question with the standard answer that Qiao Laoshi over-interpreted, and the successful experience of the game summarized by his designers.
But the problem is that Qiao Laoshi will not release videos for every game of Mr. Pei.
There are some topics Qiao Laoshi has never published a video, and there are some questions about "designer's intention", Pei Qian really doesn't know how to answer, so he can only let himself go.
While such an answer may seem ridiculous, it can only be said to be.
Let's hope it passes!
He An read all three pages with a little confusion in his eyes.
"Some of the questions were answered very well; Some of the topics are said in more straightforward language, but the meaning is the same thing; There are also some topics...... That's an outrageous answer. ”
"To tell you the truth, I'm a little unpredictable about your true level."
Pei Qian showed a polite smile.
Unpredictable true level?
That's right.
Because I can't figure it out myself......
