On February 9th, the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately this festival is no longer a legal holiday, compared with the traditional Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, the Lantern Festival is no longer so concerned, and its influence has declined to the limit.

In fact, in ancient times, it was a super-large festival that combined multiple functions such as carnival and Valentine's Day, and the grandeur was second only to the Spring Festival. The reason is very simple, the curfew will be lifted during the Shangyuan Festival, and people who play will go to the street to watch the lanterns, breaking through the boundaries between the noble and the low, men and women, the old and the young, and carnival together. Women in bondage can also take to the streets to meet young men.

"So what about the origins?" Ye Shenxi asked Rao Bin.

"There is a lot of controversy in the academic circles, and it is generally believed that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the first "looking day" (i.e., the night of the full moon) of the year, which was valued by the ancients. In the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu sacrificed to the "Taiyi God" on this day, with a lot of lights; Since then, Taoism has set the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as the "Shangyuan Day", and Buddhism has corresponded to the "great god changing the month" in the Indian calendar, and some of these religious activities have gradually become a common custom of the Lantern Festival in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Rao Bin read according to the information he had consulted.

"Yes, you can continue, social class, mode of production, business form, living customs, I don't ask you to completely reproduce historical facts, you can also increase your own subjective creation, but the requirements are perfect and reasonable, and it makes sense logically."

"Okay, I'm still working on it, the costume is almost finished, do you want to take a look?"

"Don't look at it, you first discuss with Cao Ruoruo and give a definite plan, I'll look at it, it must be antique, but also in line with modern aesthetics, I'll ask, what kind of fabric is used?"

This question is really detailed enough, but it doesn't seem to be difficult for Rao Bin.

"The aristocracy, the officials, the high-ranking lords, the tycoons, and the leaders of the rivers and lakes are silk, brocade, soft smoke, silk, silk, etc., the middle class including the merchants, the students are generally cotton, and the working people at the bottom, and the coolies are linen and kudzu."

Ye Shenxi nodded: "Yes, it's quite perfect." ”

"Hehe, I've been with you for almost two years."

"Let's do it." Ye Shenxi said.

"Huh!" Rao Bin nodded, feeling that this affirmation didn't seem to be enough, he clenched his fists again, and then walked away in a hurry.

Small details, always show yourself in front of your boss to be very motivated, good mental side.

But it's not all pretended, Rao Bin even thought of the first time Mr. Ye had a private chat with him in July last year, which was in the fire escape of the former office building, and both of them were smoking.

Rao Bin was also a young budding who had just graduated at that time, out of consideration for his personal characteristics, that is, good writing, a wide range of knowledge, divergent thinking, and spiritual brain circuits, Ye Shenxi planned to cultivate him in the direction of copywriting planning at that time.

It's just that at that time, the Qingyu Network itself was still making online games, even web games, and the requirements for copywriting were not high, which was also the case in the domestic environment. But Ye Shenxi still personally guided him, taught him the professional skills of becoming a copywriter, and took him on the road.

Now the entire copywriting team is frantically building the entire alternate world, terrain scenes, natural ecology, political and business systems, historical origins, folklore, social factions, grievances and hatreds...... It already has a volume of nearly 100,000 words, and it continues to expand.

More than a year has passed, and Qingyu Network has finally begun to work on a large project in the traditional sense, which requires a perfect world view, which contains too many details, and it is also making their group of copywriters have a real "place".

How fortunate it is to start my career with the Blue Fish Network.

……

As soon as Rao Bin left, Chen Xiaofan knocked on the door again and came in: "Mr. Ye, big news!" ”

Ye Shenxi has reminded her several times, and she walked in generously, don't always poke her head out of the door, like a thief, this girl always forgets.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shenxi was no longer surprised by her surprise, since she didn't say, "It's a big deal!" That's certainly not bad news, even if sometimes it's not a big deal when you say "big things are bad."

Chen Xiaofan ran in: "I'll use your computer." ”

Ye Shenxi saved the document first, and then stepped out of the way: "It's not big news that deducts performance." ”

"Ah......" Chen Xiaofan hesitated, but still stepped forward, it seems that she still insists that it is a big news. Tap the keyboard and type in a web address, then click it to refresh a news item. Just a moment, because this news is in the first position on the front page.

This is the official website of Glixel, a game media owned by Rolling Stone magazine (not the band in the UK, nor the company in Wanwan, an American magazine), a well-known game information-related website abroad, which often conducts exclusive interviews with some gamers and teams. It may not be the most authoritative review or information site, but it is extremely diligent in conducting interviews, which is also one of their characteristics.

This article comes from an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto on this website two days ago.

Shigeru Miyamoto...... A terrible name.

Nicknamed "The Father of Mario", he personally created two world-famous game series, Mario and Zelda, and Virgo's "Donkey Kong" was enthusiastically sought after in North America, earning more than $100 million in profits, which was also one of the most important titles in the golden age of arcades in the last century.

Mario and Zelda naturally needless to say, it was the enlightenment of many people's game world.

Even the title of "Producer" from the film industry comes from him, and after the start of production in 1990 on the world of Super Mario on Ren Bliol's own second-generation home console SFC, the development team has increased from 10 to about 20 people as the scale of game production has expanded, so the title system has been added to the game team.

At that time, Ren Jile only had the titles of section head, department head, and director, but Miyamoto Shigeru thought that this was too strange for game developers, so he printed "Producer" on his business card, thus establishing a new system for game development teams.

One of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" by Time Magazine;

Winner of the Order of the Order of French Order, founded by Emperor Napoleon and with a history of 200 years;

GDC (Game Developers Conference) Lifetime Achievement Award winner.

It would be a bit pale, but it would be better to say that his every move will affect the entire gaming industry, and even hobbies will become a trend in the industry.

Some say he's the Spielberg equivalent of the gaming world, and if there were media reviews of the greatest game producer of all time, there was hardly any suspense, and he would be ranked first.

The 57-year-old, such as EA's acquisition of Maxis, its founder, creator of the series "Virtual Life" and "Virtual City", well, and last year's smash hit "Spore", another Taishan Beidou-level producer Will Wright said: "After all, most game designers today grew up playing their games." ”

Ye Shenxi looked at this article at a glance, this kind of interview with a senior is also a rare life experience for many game people.

The first paragraph of this article devotes a lot of space to the achievements of Ren Jile last year.

Last year, they shipped 25.95 million units of ii consoles, beating PS3 and XBOX360 combined, while the NDS series (including nds/ndsl/DSi) handheld consoles also shipped 31.18 million units, leaving rival PSPs behind.

Now should be the peak of Ren Jile in the twenty-first century, Ye Shenxi remembered, I have to sigh, the data is indeed gorgeous.

It is also a blue ocean strategy, just like the "Eternal War" of Qingyu Network, which pulls in a large number of users who originally did not belong to the field of e-sports, and they also let many family users, who do not pay much attention to game functions, such as housewives, and other light player groups such as housewives pull in, which has achieved the sales myth of II.

Before he saw a name, Chen Xiaofan couldn't wait to point to one of the paragraphs: "Here, Mr. Ye." ”

In that section, Glixel asked Shigeru Miyamoto about the game he was playing recently.

As we all know, Shigeru Miyamoto, the soul of Ren Bliss, usually does not express a subjective attitude towards games other than Ren Bliss, and it is not appropriate to criticize or praise, but under the inquiry of the Glixel reporter, he actually mentioned his opinion on "The Origin of Everything" a little unexpectedly.

It's also reasonable, after all, "The Origin of Everything" has also been launched on the II platform, and the II version has also sold more than 300,000 copies so far, becoming the best-selling work on the II platform in January, I still have to say.

Looking at Shigeru Miyamoto's words, Ye Shenxi felt a little crying and laughing.

Glixel: "Do you have any games you've been playing lately?" In addition to being a game producer, Shigeru Miyamoto is of course also an avid gamer, especially for games on his own platform.

Shigeru Miyamoto: "Of course, I was playing the II version of Forest Forest recently, and it was very interesting that we were using the II Speak peripheral for the first time in an online game, and it was very interesting to be able to communicate with other players in a very convenient way. ”

Glixel: "Anything else?" For example, there is a "The Origin of Everything"? ”

In many media interviews with well-known gamers, it seems that this game is mentioned more and more, after all, this is the last game of 2008 or the first phenomenal game of 2009, which has brought a strange creative wave around the world, and everyone cannot ignore it.

Shigeru Miyamoto: "Yes, and I've been playing this game recently. ”

Glixel: "Can you talk about your feelings?" ”

Shigeru Miyamoto: "It's a very novel game. ”

Glixel: "Can you be more detailed?" ”

Shigeru Miyamoto: "Well, I actually really like The Origin of Everything, but I'm not sincere. I love it, but it's more because the concept of the game in Origin of Everything is supposed to be implemented by Nintendo. ”

Glixel: "Why do you say that? ”

Shigeru Miyamoto: "Actually, back in the N64 period (the end of the 90s of the 20th century), we did a lot of playability experiments, and some of the results and concepts were very, very similar to the current Origin of Everything. I think the production team of the Blue Fish Network is amazing, they took over Ren Jile's project that was put on hold for the time being, and successfully made it into their own product. ”

……

In fact, in the game industry, many design ideas can be cut before they are finally announced, especially for a game industry leader like Ren Jile. Many games may have been discontinued before they were announced, although some of these elements and designs may appear in other games later.

But what do you think of Ye Shenxi, I also read a little bit of arrogance in this interview......

"This old man ......" Ye Shenxi shook his head and said.

However, to be praised by Shigeru Miyamoto, even if it is not so obvious, is indeed something that all gamers should be proud of.

Ye Shenxi realized that this article was in English: "Are you teaching yourself English?" ”

Chen Xiaofan grinned: "Hehe, I signed up for the training class." ”

"Yes, very motivated, then it is estimated that this article has been reprinted in China." He could guess that Chen Xiaofan saw this article on the Chinese forum, and then deliberately found the original English address and pointed it out to himself, "inadvertently" showing his attitude of striving for progress......

Alas, the last shift was like a palace fight.

"Hmm......" Chen Xiaofan nodded, then turned on his mobile phone, flipped out Weibo, and turned out an account called "Game Commune", with more than 1,000 fans, reprinted this article by Glixel, and translated it.

So far, there have been more than 400 responses below.

Ye Shenxi took Chen Xiaofan's mobile phone again and began to look through it, these should be core old players, but they were a little confused about the reaction to this report.

It may have never been the case before, and a "god of games" like Shigeru Miyamoto reviews a Chinese company and a domestic game.

"Is "The Origin of Everything" really so popular abroad now?"

"Shigeru Miyamoto is playing!"

"It's awesome."

"I'm feeling a little dizzy, I'll go calm down first."

There are also some people who directly @ their own account "Ye Shenxi Pasca", Ye Shenxi is not much on Weibo now, his account was originally invited by Xinlang internal test, and now there are more than 20,000 fans, and he can be regarded as a big V, and he did not apply for Xinlang and took the initiative to add him "V" personal certification...... The main thing is that there are a lot of @ and private messages as soon as you go up.,It's really a bit dazzling.。

And people send you a private message, isn't it rude not to reply, but you don't have so much energy and time, so you just don't read it.

Relatively speaking, Xia Qingyu is much more active than him, and often brushes and plays when she is idle, she often brushes Twitter when she was in the United States before, and Weibo in China is more down-to-earth, and a lot of news also interests her more.

Actively like a high copy, although there are no high imitations yet.

There are also things like jokes that have also begun to appear, she prefers these things, often chatting with other netizens, and her number of fans is twice that of Ye Shenxi, and she is proud of it.

Weibo is not a pure social product, it actually has quite a strong media attribute, everyone can become a source of news releases, the EB2.0 concept that was hyped in the early years, it is the culmination.

Ye Shenxi ferried the keyword of "The Origin of Everything + Shigeru Miyamoto" again, and sure enough, it has spread in other media, including some well-informed traditional game media.

The previous sales report is very intuitive, everyone knows that the game "The Origin of Everything" is very popular, but there is one feeling that will not be so real, that is, the company of Qingyu Network, which is mixed with the international circle.

This feeling is only now more obvious, and those companies that are out of reach in the world, those who have been famous for a long time, they will also talk about the relationship between this game and this company, not just capital...... They are in a circle and can "play together"......

"Mr. Ye, is this person named Shigeru Miyamoto very powerful?"

"It's amazing."

"Isn't it a bad thing to be praised by him? People who like some of the places I like are very proud. ”

“…… It's not something to be proud of, it's just a matter of being mentioned, what do you think? ”

"What's the matter......" Chen Xiaofan seemed to understand something.

"It's okay, you'll feel it later."
