Chapter 1 Basic Law on Interviews
Summer in Funan Castle is hot and damp, and the cicadas chirping in the June afternoon make you drowsy. It's another year of graduation season, and the fresh graduates flow from the city's colleges and universities to the software park in the south of the city like the alveoli of the lungs, carrying the resumes cast by the essence of four years, with the dream of getting promoted and raising the salary to the pinnacle of life, and starting round after round of school recruitment interviews.
For most young people, all kinds of interviews and written examinations are more like trials, so that they have never had a clear understanding of what they have lived in the past four years, from full of ambition to self-doubt and anxiety, and finally their eyes are scattered, and they seem to have been wheeled by a hundred big men more than 300 times, and the first lesson that adult life opens the door to give them is called cruelty.
And what is more painful than them at this time is the boss of the Qingyu Network, the only interviewer, Xia Qingyu.
This girl's mood at the moment is as irritable as eating expired durian with millet pepper. If it weren't for the military order that he had made in front of his father at all times, with this girl's temper, I am afraid that she would go back to the office and shout that everyone is disbanded, and the old lady's company will not be opened.
"easy, easy" Xia Qingyu took a deep breath to calm down, from the morning to the present, there are nearly twenty people, no more than 3 of them have been able to get into the eye, and they are very tacit and very straightforward to say that they have received offers from large companies, and they came for an interview just to gain more knowledge. And the rest of the dozen or so crooked melons and cracked dates all prove Xia Qingyu's point of view, in China, those who have wasted four years playing games in universities, failed countless courses, and achieved nothing will choose to make games.
Why? The threshold for entering the industry is low, and other companies don't want it.
"Next." Xia Qingyu closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.
"Why do you want to make a game?" Xia Qingyu asked mechanically.
"Huh?" didn't hear the other party's answer, Jing looked at Xia Qingyu in a daze.
"Ahh I've loved playing games since I was a kid! The passer-by's face dick man A straightened his waist suddenly, shouting in his heart, this interviewer is too beautiful!
Where did this come from, Xia herring who can say "me" in the interview is not common.
"Why do you think you can make games?" Xia Qingyu was not surprised by the other party's pig brother.
"This ...... Sometimes when I play, I feel ...... I felt that some games were too rough to make, and I thought that if I could make games myself, I would definitely be able to do better than them. "Dick Silk Male A was so nervous that he almost didn't dare to look directly at Xia Qingyu.
"Can you be a good cook if you like to eat?" Xia Qingyu has lost interest in the person in front of her, she has heard this sentence no less than fifty times in the past few days.
"Huh?" Dick Silk Male A hasn't reacted yet.
"I'm glad you're here for our interview, you can go back first, and we'll let you know within 3 working days if there's any news." Xia Qingyu directly ordered the eviction of customers.
There is no second round, Xia Qingyu himself is the boss, and there is no one else to face at all.
"Ah...... I mean......" Dick Silk Man A thinks he can still save it.
"Next." Xia Qingyu had already gotten up and spread his hands to signal the other party to leave.
Dick Silk Man A left stupidly, and when he opened the door, he didn't finish glancing back, thinking that he could see a beauty of this grade, and this trip was worth it.
Next is an artistic handsome man B, compared with the previous one, the image is a lot of points, but the shock of Xia Qingyu's beauty is not much stronger.
"Why do you want to make a game?" Xia Qingyu threw the same question.
"Oh, that's right." A handsome guy is a handsome guy, self-confidence is innate, and he quickly regained his spirit, changed to an evil smile that feels good about himself, and looked directly at Xia Qingyu: "I don't think there are real game people in China's game industry, this group of people only think about how to dig pits to make money all day long, and put all their energy on various VIP systems, first charge gift packages, and cumulative recharge activities." I want to make a game that is really fun, a game that can be recognized by the market and players. ”
The handsome man B told his ambition eloquently, and he didn't know how many times he practiced in front of the mirror in this opening sentence, but he was very confident.
Decent answer, Xia Qingyu was silent on his face, but he hated the other party's feel-good tone.
"And what kind of games do you usually play?"
The handsome man B came prepared, and he said a lot of it, and there were some terms like "FPS, RPG, RTS", stand-alone games, online games, everything, all-encompassing, like the name of the dish. After speaking, he made a definite sentence to himself, "This wave is stable", and the corners of his mouth curled up with a trace of carefully practiced arc.
"What do you think makes a successful game?" Xia Qingyu's delicate face did not have any fluctuations.
"Huh?" Handsome man B didn't seem to have prepared for this question, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "I think a game that can understand the needs of players is a successful game." ”
Said the same empty answer as if he didn't.
"How so?" Xia Qingyu gave the other party a chance to explain.
The handsome man B is not bad, and he sorted out his logic with these few gaps: "I saw an interview with the producer of "Devil May Cry" before, and there is a sentence that I am very impressed, he said that no one has ever said that there can be no gun combat in ACT games, and no one said that in the game, you can't levitate in the air and keep shooting. It was clear that he captured the feeling and maneuver that the player wanted, and while it was possible that the player himself didn't realize it, he proved to be successful. ”
It's another ignorant young man who only has a 3A market masterpiece in his eyes and doesn't even know what he will do when he enters a game company.
"Then let me say that a game that makes money is a successful game. Do you think that's right? Xia Qingyu threw out an argument for the other party to elaborate.
"Uh......" The handsome man B was obviously caught off guard, and he was sideways.
"I think that's too utilitarian...... That is true...... The success of a game is not measured solely by how much money you make. I mean, uh...... Yes, even if a game makes a lot of money, but when players mention it, they are all scolding, scolding the game, scolding the planner, and scolding the company, such a game should not be said to be a successful game...... bar. The handsome man tried his best to make his eyes meet Xia Qingyu's gaze, but he had already begun to flicker.
"If a game can't make money, what does a game production company eat? What do bosses pay their employees? If there is no salary, there will be no employees, and if there are no employees, of course, there will be no games, and if the games are gone, what can be said to be successful? Xia Qingyu can only sigh, low eyes and low hands are a common problem of young people, the ideal is not impossible, but everyone needs to know what should be done at the current stage. You say that you are a young person who has just started in the industry, you have never even made a game, you don't know anything at all, and it is better to understand the processes and steps required to make a game than to think about these unattainable things.
The handsome man B is not SB after all, he knows that he is bad, and he is eager to show his overall view, but in the eyes of the interviewer, he seems floating and unsteady, and it is simply humiliating to talk about idealized things with the interviewer at this time. I could only cry and say, "What you said is that I was too idealistic, thank you for teaching me a lesson." "At this time, there is no other way but to show the quality of correcting mistakes to make a good impression, and maybe you can come back to life.
"In this way, you go back first, and we will notify you to come to the second round of interviews within 3 working days if we have any news." Xia Qingyu stood up again, so familiar lines.
"Okay, thank you." The handsome man B stood up and bowed to Xia Qingyu, once again showing his humility and politeness.
Waiting for the other party to leave the negotiation room, Xia Qingyu's cold face floated a trace of disgust, if it was before, it would be impossible for her to condense even a second's gaze on this kind of marketplace in her eyes, but now that she has opened a company, she always has to deal with all kinds of people, and she needs to hide her arrogance and disdain.
Sending another one away, Xia Qingyu glanced at today's last resume, Ye Shenxi.
