Cut the ground from under somebody's feet?

What's that?

Hao Yun looked back in confusion, only to see an acquaintance looking at him with a smile.

This person is none other than Mr. Xu, CEO of Rice Entertainment - Xu Qianshi!

Well, it may be a bit high to say that it is an acquaintance, but there is still a one-sided relationship.

It was obviously not only Hao Yun who was surprised, but also the senior brothers and sisters who were watching from afar on the side, and their faces also showed surprised expressions.

But anyone in the Internet industry, or who plans to develop in the direction of new media, there is no one who does not know the name Xu Qianshi.

As the leader of Rice Entertainment, it can be said that Rice Group has expanded to the entertainment field from a pure electronics industry giant, and has developed its own entertainment industry ecological chain, which is promoted by this Mr. Xu.

"? Senior Brother Hao still knows Mr. Xu? ”

"Listening to Mr. Xu's tone, the relationship between the two is not shallow?"

"No wonder 2048 sold for 1 million...... There is still such a relationship. ”

"Shhh...... But why do I think Yunmeng Group is losing money? ”

"Mr. Xu?" didn't hear the discussion next to him, Hao Yun was slightly stunned when he saw that face, and then said with a smile, "Why are you here too?" ”

Xu Qianshi smiled and said in a mocking tone.

"Jiangcheng University is also the first strong school in the summer area, do you have any problems with me recruiting here? Besides, you just poached a good employee from me, and I can't hire someone to fill the vacancy? ”

"Digging into the wall?" Hearing this word again, Hao Yun said a little confused, "This ...... Is there some misunderstanding in there? ”

Xu Qianshi seemed to be smiling, but he didn't say it clearly.

Li Zongzheng pulled Hao Yun's sleeve under the table with some weakness and whispered.

"Boss."

"What's wrong?" Hao Yun glanced at him.

Li Zongzheng whispered: "...... Du Ziteng, who joined the company a few days ago, seems to be the old boss of the rice group. ”

I'll go?

Really digging into the wall?

Hao Yun was surprised in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously, and even a little proud.

To attract talents from the rice group is not something that ordinary enterprises can do.

What does this mean?

It shows that not only himself, but even outsiders can see that the future of Yunmeng Group is promising!

As for whether it will affect the relationship between Yunmeng Group and Rice Group, Hao Yun is not worried at all.

Dig and dig, job-hopping is a normal behavior, he didn't think that Xu Qianshi would find fault with this kind of thing, so he said confidently.

"Oh, that seems to be the case...... Then I will thank Mr. Xu for his training! ”

Originally, Xu Qianshi really didn't put this matter at ease, but when he heard Hao Yun say this confidently, he almost got angry and suffered internal injuries.

Good guy, are you quite proud?

"You don't feel embarrassed at all?" Xu Qianshi couldn't help but ask.

Hao Yun said helplessly: "This ...... What can I do? Others felt that they were more promising with us, and they went through the normal resignation process, and I signed it because I thought it was good...... Mr. Xu wouldn't come to me for this little thing to ask me about the guilt. ”

After staring at Hao Yun for a while, Xu Qianshi took a stool from the side and sat down in front of the recruitment booth, without continuing the previous topic, and spoke.

"Aren't you curious what I'm doing here?"

“…… Aren't you here to hire? Hao Yun's face was inexplicable, this guy just said this by himself a few seconds ago, right?

"Yes and no," he threw out such a sentence ambiguously, Xu Qianshi looked at him and continued, "Let's talk casually, what do you think of Rice Entertainment." ”

That's an interesting question.

To be honest, Hao Yun doesn't have any opinions, after all, Xu Qianshi is an old-timer in this industry, he has been in business for less than two months, and he is a complete rookie in the shopping mall.

As for the game......

That's what he's good at, after all, he's been a game designer in his last life. Even though most of the memories are veiled, some of the experience of design concepts is more or less retained.

For this parallel world with a history of less than 20 years in the video game industry, many design concepts can be called dimensionality reduction. And this point is enough to illustrate this problem from the popularity of 2048 and the deep thinking of many industry insiders and players about the game industry caused by "Cemetery".

Thinking of this, Hao Yun also had some confidence, so he talked eloquently in a casual tone.

"I don't know anything else, but as far as Rice Entertainment's game industry is concerned, I think you're going a narrow way."

As soon as he heard this, not only Xu Qianshi was stunned, but also Li Zongzheng and Sun Xiaoteng, who were sitting next to him.

This......

On the other side is the CEO of Dali Entertainment!

That's too uneuphemistic, isn't it?

What was even more surprising was the senior brothers and sisters who had been paying attention here, and they all showed surprised expressions on their faces.

it?

This junior brother is a bit of a bull, and he actually said directly to Mr. Xu, you have narrowed the road.

This is no longer a sentence that can be described without knowing the height of the sky!

However, Xu Qianshi was not a person with a small belly and chicken intestines, so instead of being angry, he looked at Hao Yun with interest.

"You think we're narrowing the road? Then you can talk about it, how to narrow the method. ”

"I've heard that Rice Group has acquired quite a few game studios, right? If I remember correctly, there is the Great Qin Empire at home, and there is the Alpha Light abroad...... These are the top triple-A game makers in the industry. Hao Yun said.

Li Zongzheng, who was sitting next to him, nodded, he had heard all these names, and he was even a fan of the former.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the reason why he dreams of becoming a world-renowned game designer developing triple-A masterpieces is because of the action games of the Great Qin Empire.

Xu Qianshi didn't say anything, just waited for Hao Yun to continue.

"Although I don't know about the agreement between you and those game studios, in the past two years, the works produced by these game studios have either been sequels to some fried cold rice, or they are reproductions of previous popular works...... All in all, they are games with great graphics, but the gameplay is almost the same. The subject matter is mainly action and drama, but there are also some shooting, racing and strategy games, am I right? ”

"What's wrong with that?" Xu Qianshi looked at Hao Yun and asked.

"Absolutely! The problem is that there's so much more to the game than that. ”

Hearing this, Xu Qianshi was stunned, frowned slightly and said.

"What does that mean?"

"It's literal," Hao Yun smiled faintly, combined with his work experience in his previous life, and talked about his understanding of the game, "It doesn't matter if you just make money, but if you want to create a popular IP, it's not enough to rely on excellent graphics and rich plots." In the final analysis, games are a tool to entertain people, and the core is to make people relax and happy, but it is human nature to hate repetitive work, if the fundamental gameplay does not change in any way...... Why don't people choose movies with great graphics, or just choose those with good plots? ”

Xu Qianshi fell into deep thought, as if he was seriously thinking about this question.

Hao Yun continued, "In my own feelings, I think that compared with other content communication media, games have their own unique advantages, that is, interactivity, and the popular point is gameplay. ”

Xu Qianshi: "You mean, the gameplay is the core of the game?" ”

Hao Yun: "Almost, even if the picture is simple and the plot is monotonous, as long as the gameplay is interesting enough, it can still be an excellent work." On the contrary, you need to rely on graphics or plot or even music to make up for the lack of gameplay, and I think this is undoubtedly a failure as a game. ”

Xu Qianshi suddenly smiled and said, "Has this theory been tested by the market?" ”

"How can it be considered to have passed the test of the market?" Hao Yun smiled and asked rhetorically, "Is 2048 counted, or a jump, or even a temple escape, just in terms of the three dimensions of the picture, plot, and sound effects, even if I score a point, I don't have too much, but this does not prevent them from still achieving a certain degree of success." ”

In fact, there are many examples that Hao Yun wants to citing, but those examples have been left in the previous life and cannot be brought back, leaving only some vague shadows.

In fact, this is also inevitable.

After all, the speed of the civilianization of the electronics industry in this era is too fast, almost from the first year of the new calendar to the present in just 18 years, it has completed the road that Hao Yun took the world almost half a century in his previous life.

Many works of the CRT era have never been born in this era at all, and the earliest games on the civilian market, even if they were LCD screens, were replaced by more advanced OLED in less than two years, and now the concept of quantum dot display technology is popular.

As for the CPU and memory, it's even more exaggerated.

So much so that the arcade game machine in Hao Yun's impression, as well as the little overlord and red and white machine that he often played when he was a child, have never appeared in this world.

After all, gameplay and creativity are difficult to achieve overnight, and many things need time to precipitate.

After listening to Hao Yun's words, Xu Qianshi was speechless for a while, and wanted to refute but couldn't find a suitable reason.

You say 2048 is not popular...... But it's a product of its own agent, and it's a pineapple flying car that relies on this product to balance the pineapple mobile phone.

As for Temple Run, not to mention, there is now a direct category of parkour games on the market, and this category is named after Temple Run.

Suddenly, he had a vague feeling in his mind that maybe there was another possibility in the game industry he was familiar with, but he couldn't find a suitable word to describe this feeling.

Until, Hao Yun's next sentence -

"I think it's better to try to develop some small but beautiful games than to get more and more involved in the graphics and story."

“…… Small but beautiful? ”

"That's right," Hao Yun nodded, and said in a meaningful tone, "Let the game return to the game, the gameplay is the core of the game!" ”

Boom!

Xu Qianshi felt as if a door had been pushed open in his heart, and the question that he had been puzzled for a long time finally found the answer at this moment.

This is not only a problem for Rice Entertainment, but also a problem for the entire gaming industry today!

A large number of games with excellent graphics and lack of content are flooding the entire game market, and everyone is crowded on the same track, isn't this the reason why the game production teams acquired by Rice Entertainment have all gone downhill without exception?

And isn't this the reason why minor games like 2048 and Temple Escape can stand out from the public's eye?

At least one of the reasons!

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and Xu Qianshi stared at Hao Yun with blazing eyes.

This guy is a talent!

It's so condescending to study here!

Damn, I want this guy so much!

This look stared at Hao Yun so much that his heart was furious, and just as he was about to say something, the pop-up window of the system suddenly appeared in front of him.

[System prompt: Xu Qianshi has obtained the status of "enlightenment"]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Lucky Gem (Quality: S)]

it?

What the hell is enlightenment?

But this guy doesn't have any potential...... In other words, is this a point for Mr. Xu?

And this lucky S gem, what is the use of hair!

Since the last time he knocked a gem, he felt that he had not been lucky in the real sense of the word until now, but had planted a heel in the pork.

Just when Hao Yunzheng was looking confused, an unfamiliar voice suddenly floated over from the side with a few hearty applause.

"Wonderful! It's wonderful! ”

I saw a man with neatly combed hair and an age who looked to be in his thirties and forties walked over here and looked at Hao Yun with a smile on his face.

"This classmate, are you interested in coming to our Longwei Group?"
