Chapter 351: Apple's Invitation

At the end of June, the results of this year's national college entrance examination can be queried by telephone and the Internet, which means that all the students who participated in the college entrance examination this year have been settled after more than ten years of hard work and the final battle.

With the expansion of university enrollment, it is no longer as difficult to carry out higher education in this era as before, and in recent years, the proportion of students admitted to colleges and universities each year has been close to 60% compared to the total number of students who take the college entrance examination.

Deng Ziqi, an 18-year-old local candidate in Funan, has just checked his college entrance examination results on the Internet, and his family is neatly organized, with his parents, grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, uncles, younger brothers and sisters...... Circling around, staring at his computer screen, waiting for him to enter his admission ticket number and then refresh his results.

"Ouch, Mom, old man, don't you stare at me like this, nervous." Deng Ziqi felt that the pressure was even greater than when he entered the examination room.

"You have to have it." The elders nodded one by one, but they didn't move, and their eyes didn't move elsewhere.

Deng Ziqi frowned, he couldn't help it when he squinted, his right hand trembled slightly, and he clicked the [Query] button.

The audience held their breath, and two seconds seemed to turn into a long wait.

While! With a bang, a line pops up on the monitor [The server is busy, please try again later.] 】

The audience was in an uproar.

"It should be that there are too many people checking the results now, I'll try again."

"A few more times." His father said.

After about four or five attempts, Deng Ziqi's results finally came out, and he got 578 of the total score of 750.

Earlier, the admission line of each batch has been drawn, and this year's admission line in Sichuan and Shu Province is 512 points, and Deng Ziqi is 66 points higher, which is indeed 6 points.

He used to be in the school's various one-two model exams, and his grades were floating a little bit up the line, which is not very good, but it is stable, and it is also in the middle of the class, and 211 colleges and universities should be able to fight. This time he was directly 66 points higher than the first line, which was completely extraordinary, which can be said to be his best performance in the comprehensive exam since the beginning of his third year of high school, and fortunately, the best performance was left on the most important occasion.

Deng Ziqi almost collapsed on the chair, his legs were a little weak, and the elders behind him were already laughing.

The old man is relieved, the old man is relieved.

His mother said what she wanted to eat today, and she would buy it later, and she would have a good meal in the evening.

His father said you get out of the way, go and rest first, and then skillfully open your own treasure digging account, the national version of the PS3, which has been in the shopping cart for almost a month, can now place an order.

This is a fashionable father, who is more skilled than his son in digging treasures: "See clearly, wow, I bought a sprinkle for your baby." ”

"There are only game consoles and no games, so it's a joke."

"Buy, buy, buy, which games to buy, you say for yourself."

"I'll put it in your shopping cart."

Deng Ziqi sat on the sofa, thinking about too many things, what school to apply for, which major to study, whether to go out of the province to see, how to spend this perfect holiday, just play games for two months, or go out to travel.

While thinking about it, I couldn't help but grin at the corners of my mouth.

The elders came up one by one and touched their heads.

"Yes, young man."

"Qiwa is out of breath."

"Talented, better than your father."

"The future is bright."

The whole family is now beaming, and it is even happier than the New Year.

……

With his results, there are many choices, the top colleges and universities don't need to think about the top majors, but other 211 and 985 colleges and universities can still be well selected and selected.

The next step is to carefully choose a school and major, and then decide to fill in the application.

The opinion of his parents still hopes that he can be closer to home, just in the south of the country, it is also convenient to take care of, it is easy to go back home every three or five times, and he can also improve the food, where can he eat well in the school cafeteria.

With this achievement, there should be no problem with Shu University, this is the expectation of his parents, and Deng Ziqi himself agrees.

But in terms of professional choice, the two sides have a little disagreement.

"If you study finance or medicine, you will come out with a very high salary in the future."

Relatives and friends have already dispersed, and many people have come to see the results today, and then the whole family will get together happily and have a meal.

After dinner, Deng Dad and Deng Ma held a thick copy of the "2010 National Ordinary College Application Guide" and began to chatter and teach love.

"The medicine of Shu University is very famous in the country, especially the stomatology, which is ranked first in Asia, but it is a little difficult for you to get into this score."

Deng Ziqi thought for a while, but still expressed his opinion: "Parents, I want to learn computer science and enter the computer college." ”

"Yo, it's okay, it's easy to find a job after you get a computer. Your dad is always on the Internet, and he also buys things online, and I heard that the salary of working on computers is also high? Deng Ma said.

"It's pretty high." Deng Dad is worthy of being middle-aged Internet addict, and he still has a certain understanding of these common senses.

"Then if you have a problem with the computer in the future, you will have a virus on the black screen and blue screen, and you can let Qiwa fix it by herself, and you don't have to spend that unjust money."

"Hey, it's not the same thing."

"Mom, old man, I want to ...... I want to learn the game. ”

“???” Deng Dad and Deng Mom didn't understand much: "What do you mean?" ”

Deng Ziqi turned to the book in his mother's hand, flipped to the introduction of Shu University, and then pointed to a paragraph: "You see, this year, Shu University has also opened a new major, which is in the School of Computer Science, called Game Design, and after reading it, I will make games." ”

Deng Dad and Deng Mom were amazed: "You still teach a game in college, wow?" ”

"Mom, it's not about playing games, it's about making games, and then it's going to be made for others to play, aren't you also playing online to fight landlords, or I'm making it, and you go to play."

It's still relatively easy to understand.

"Is there still such a profession?"

"It just opened this year, you see."

In March, the Ministry of Education issued the document "Notice on Announcing the Filing and Examination Results of Undergraduate Majors in Ordinary Colleges and Universities in 2010", which abolished a number of undergraduate majors, adjusted a number of degree-awarding categories and study years, and added a number of undergraduate majors.

This includes game design.

At that time, it also caused an uproar in the domestic media, after all, for many years before that, "game" was considered one of the synonyms for not doing business.

Moreover, this is the first time to add related majors, and it was selected in the most influential institution of higher learning in southwest China, Sichuan Shu University. This is not a college-level academic education that applies to higher vocational schools and junior colleges, but a genuine undergraduate education of 211,985 colleges and universities, and it is obvious that it will be promoted to other well-known colleges and universities in the country after the pilot of Shu University.

This means that with the rapid development of the market in the field of video games, there will be specialized talent training and delivery channels in this field in the future.

"Okay...... This major ......," Deng asked.

"Old man, Shu Da, you still don't feel at ease."

"What are you going to do when you come out in the future?"

"Play the game."

"Which companies to go to? Tenghua? Huang Yi? ”

"You know what these companies are talking about."

"You old man surfs the Internet every day, I don't know what." Deng Ma also chimed in.

"Herring fish, do you know it?" Deng Ziqi asked.

"That's it...... This big company here in Funan? Deng Dad really listened to all directions: "I heard that it is very big now." ”

"They were only established in 07, and now they have sold games abroad." Deng Ziqi himself also consulted some information before, and then popularized science with his parents.

"I heard it's very profitable."

"The last game sold nearly 30 million sets, and another game that came out this month has now sold more than 10 million sets, and you say you don't make money, I put the game in your shopping cart and they just came out with it, the one called "Getaway"."

"That 238 yuan game."

The mainland digital version of "Getaway" is Geely's 198, but the physical version of PS3 and XBOX360 will be slightly more expensive, and there are more interest dividends, reaching 238 yuan.

And it can't be set too low, otherwise other manufacturers' games will be sold in China, and they won't be able to sell them at all.

"238 is only the price in China, and it is sold for 60 dollars abroad, which is almost 400 yuan. 10 million sets have been sold worldwide, which is four billion, and you say that it is not profitable. And people also have online games to make money. ”

"It's hard to make money by making games now."

"They also have their own branches in South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and multinational companies."

Deng Ziqi opened a web page, on which was a workplace website, he did his homework, which showed the average salary of the two companies in Funan and Huangpu in China of Qingyu Network, which was not officially announced, but was only based on, for example, some resignations or anonymous disclosure of current employees, and then statistics were summarized.

It is not authoritative, and it can only be said that it can be used for a little reference.

The above shows that in 2010, the average salary of employees in Chinese mainland of Qingyu Network was 26,000 yuan per month.

Of course, this is for ordinary employees, middle and senior managers who have the heart to participate in your data survey of what third-party website. These ordinary employees include those fresh graduates, as well as social recruits with certain work experience, not pure salary, but also include various bonuses and dividends in ordinary times.

"Is it so high?" Daddy Deng's eyes are about to bulge.

Deng Dad and Deng Ma are both employees, and the two of them together can almost have about 15,000 a month, just this kind of income in Funan, this small family is actually quite nourishing, more than the upper and lower than the bottom. If the son ...... It is not realistic to be able to get this number once you graduate, and it is estimated that you can get more than 20,000 yuan a month after working in it for two or three years, isn't that also quite beautiful.

"Mom, old man, this is the first time this kind of major has been opened in the country, and I didn't have it before. Now the game industry is developing rapidly, which means that there is a shortage of talents in this industry, like the first batch of graduates from Shu University, you want many companies to compete for it. And I heard that the boss of Qingyu Network proposed it to the Ministry of Education, and they will also help with the construction, and the people in the company will also go to the school to give lectures, and some students can also visit the company and intern. ”

"So sought-after, can you get this score?" Deng Ma asked another question.

Now the scores of each major have not been drawn, and I don't know, but it is 66 points higher than the key line...... I guess it's okay.

……

Deng Ziqi did a night of ideological work with his parents, mainly to say how vibrant and rich the industry is. What a high status the company is in the international arena now, and it is also a large local company.

And it's not about going in to play games, it's about learning to make games, it's a formal course, and the teachers are all hired senior industry practitioners, teaching, assigning homework, extracurricular exercises, and the like.

After a lot of flowers, the tongue was bright, and the second elder was said to be dizzy, and he felt that this major was tailor-made for his son, or why his son had just taken the college entrance examination and would open such a major this year.

Dad Deng himself also checked the relevant information of the herring fish network, and the more he plugged in, the more he couldn't close his mouth, his son went to college in Funan, and after graduation, he joined the local large company Qingyu Network, and got such a high salary, this kind of future is really good.

And Qiwa himself likes to play games since he was a child, which is what interests him.

The work of the second elder was done quickly, and he didn't interfere too much, and his parents, who often surfed the Internet, were still quite open-minded, so he let him communicate with his classmates by himself, and communicate with the teacher more when he went to the school to fill in the volunteers, and listen to the teacher's opinions.

……

Ye Shenxi finally returned to the company, and he felt that his position was no longer a pure game producer, like a mascot, running around doing activities and popularity. He didn't stay long when he returned to Funan this time, so he hurriedly handled official business, arranged the focus of the next stage of work of the development team, and then had to leave immediately.

Then to the United States.

DC, which will be held in California, USA, is the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (orldide Developers Conference), which will be held in the United States every year, and the biggest theme of this year is the debut of a new generation of Apple mobile phones, iPhone4.

Previously, Apple sent an invitation to the herring network, hoping that they could participate in this year's developer conference, and more importantly, invite the herring network to join their developer camp.

Ye Shenxi has spoken in public more than once, and some game developers have expressed his views in forums, he believes that the future of games is not just the casual content of a few hardcore players, it belongs to more pan-entertainment users, more and more people will join the group of "gamers", they do not necessarily go back to buy professional game equipment, home consoles, handhelds, high-configuration game computers, they will more through a mobile phone or even several mobile phones, to experience the game.

One of the big topics in his USC talk last year was about mobile games. It was also there that he met Chen Xinghan and recruited him, and he also clearly expressed to Chen Xinghan that his future for Dace Studio is in mobile games, some mild, but able to bring different content from other mobile games.

In fact, Apple has also sent an invitation to let Qingyu Network join them before, but Ye Shenxi thinks that the mobile game market has not really exploded, and he can't tell people, I'm waiting for your iPhone4 to really change the world.

This year is different.

The official joining of the herring network will also be officially announced at the Mosconisi Convention Center in San Francisco this year, and it will also announce the next few games developed by the herring network for their App Store, and a special Fisoa game area will also be opened on the App Store, which will become the second game company in the world to be certified by Apple to open a manufacturer's zone, even if they haven't even come up with the first game at this time......

Previously, there was only one, EA, and even Gameloft did not have such treatment.

Last year, the total output value of the global mobile game market in 2009 exceeded 18 billion US dollars, mainly from game downloads, but also from in-app purchases, rentals, game subscriptions and other related businesses. More and more players are getting used to this way of playing.

Take out your mobile phone, any free time, any venue, you can play one or two.

Before Ye Shenxi left for E3 in the United States, he had already arranged these contents, and several major studios each assigned a group of people to specialize in mobile game development. At this time, the game is more light and asynchronous social, and Ye Shenxi doesn't have too many ideas in his head.

His understanding of this market is an advantage for all other game players in the world.

The design idea of the game itself should be the most time-consuming piece, requiring a long period of discussion, internal polishing, negotiation and disputes, and finally determining an executable solution. But within the Qingyu Network, in the project of Ye Shenxi as the producer, this piece can almost be described as not requiring time.

The description of Ye Shenxi in the outside media is full of magic, but only the employees of Qingyu Network and these people who have fought side by side with Ye Shenxi know that he is even more magical than what is described outside......

Ye Shenxi gave a detailed design plan, and then asked Cao Ruoruo to assign work by himself to determine the art style of each mobile game project, and the program to discuss the construction of the game framework. If such a mobile game project cannot be completed within two months, it can only mean that the team's combat effectiveness needs to be improved.

……

Ye Shenxi convened a meeting of all R&D management personnel to accept the work content of the recent period and formulate their next work. Then he went back to his office and started writing the case.

He now writes his own cases, but not as detailed as before, more just writing ideas, and then some specific rules, values, and formulas are handed over to the people under him to improve, of course, after perfecting, he still has to accept it.

Passing by Chen Xiaofan's workstation, he saw this girl giggling at the computer screen, and he also put his head up: "What are you looking at?" ”

Chen Xiaofan turned off the web browser with a set of skillful movements, snapped reflexively, and then turned around, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, you have finished the meeting." ”

"What did you just see, open it, I'll take a look too."

What he saw was an animation.

Chen Xiaofan pouted and opened the page just now, which was YouTube: "It's something from "Getaway", I didn't watch anything else. Then I clicked the play button and started playing.

This is a spoof animation made by foreign netizens, called "The ending of the getaway should be like this".

The animation depicts the great battle at the end of "Getaway", the Yellow Emperor let go of the dragon bird and his party, they walked along the bottom of the sea, and then met the oncoming Moses group, looking at each other.

However, this is only a one-way street, and no one can get out of the way......

He said, "Do not go over, for there are Egyptian pursuers." ”

They also said: "Don't go over, there are Chinese pursuers behind you." ”

Then both sides fell into embarrassment.
