Chapter 15: A Chance Encounter with the Dragon

In the evening, I naturally wanted to treat you again to thank Junzilan for her help, and this time I chose a well-known Internet celebrity Chinese restaurant in the imperial capital based on Gu Lan's recommendation.

As the saying goes, once born, second ripe, and once caught in the middle by Erlan again, Gu Feng was already blushing and his heart was not beating.

Although the two sisters and brothers are quiet personalities with few words, but with Junzilan, it is impossible to be cold, and the three of them eat happily and chat happily.

"Huh! Jun Xuemei? ”

The three of them followed the sound and happened to see a man in a plaid shirt who looked like he was in his early thirties walking over with a look of surprise.

"Senior Du, what a coincidence, you also came here for dinner?" Seeing the person coming clearly, Jun Zilan brushed the hair between her forehead and stood up.

At the same time, Gu Lan also stood up and greeted with the same smile: "Senior Du." ”

Gu Feng was helpless, so he could only stand up.

"Haha, isn't this the game going to be launched in another month, and the project team will come out for dinner together." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the group of people who were waiting for the waiter to share a table not far behind him.

Gu Feng glanced sideways slightly, and saw that except for the two women, the rest were men, and they were also looking at them with interest at the moment, seven or eight meters away, Gu Feng could clearly see the gossip, envy, and jealousy in their eyes.

Coincidentally, Gu Feng saw that Zhang Qiang was also inside, and of course, the other party also saw him, but the two of them had a tacit understanding and had no intention of saying hello at all.

The people of Longteng, he knows it in his heart.

"I see, can you tell us what the game is?" Jun Zilan's eyes seemed to be shining, and she looked curious.

This Senior Du is also very upright, and said directly without hesitation: "What is there to reveal, it's an ARPG game, I won't say the name, anyway, it's definitely better than our company's previous action games, and it will definitely not disappoint you, senior sister." [Note 1]

"I still believe in Senior Du's strength......"

The two seemed to know each other very well and talked a lot.

"There are only a few people in your project team? I thought that in a big company like yours, there were dozens or hundreds of people in any game project team. ”

Senior Du laughed: "Harm! Of course, it's impossible to just a few people.,It's okay to tell you.,The people who came to dinner tonight are all from the design team.,Today the boss gave us a new task.,Let's make a game similar to "Happy Match" and fight with it.,Anyway, it's to celebrate the upcoming launch of the new game.,By the way, it's also a banquet.。 ”

"Huh...... It's really like the style of the dragon, and there are few games that are their own creations. "Jun Zilan makes no secret of her disdain for this kind of behavior.

Senior Du shook his head, not angry at all: "This is normal, strong funds are the advantage of Longteng, innovation means risk, Longteng can innovate, such as the new games we are about to launch, but it is impossible to innovate all, because this is not in line with the thinking of businessmen, use more abundant capital to learn from the works that have been successful in the market to make better quality games, beat the original!" That's the mindset of a businessman. ”

"It may be cruel to say that there are very few adventurers who are dedicated to making indie games, and more are followers behind the first adventurer to eat crabs. For example, if you think of Happy Match as a leopard that has just hit its prey, at this time, there must be a lot of people watching, they don't want to hunt by themselves, they want to make a match-3 game similar to Happy Match, eat as much meat as possible, they are like a group of vultures. The dragon is a lion, and it is not willing to expend a lot of physical strength to hunt, it will drive away the leopard and take all the food that the leopard has not had time to eat. ”

"This is also the reason why I gave up making independent games in the first place, individuals can't fight against capital after all, society is not a game, players don't care about what comes first, they only care about who is more fun."

"Jun Xuemei, I'm going to go over first, and when the game comes out, I'll definitely be the first to tell you, you can support it a lot."

Du Jianghai returned to his colleagues, and a group of people immediately began to joke.

"Brother Du, cow, your girlfriend is really beautiful, more beautiful than those stars on TV."

"Yes, I don't have the temperament to say, a proper goddess level."

"Brother Du, is the other beauty your girlfriend's best friend? The guy next to her is her boyfriend? ”

"Okay, Jiang Hai, the confidentiality work is really good enough, it's not easy to find such a beautiful girl in our business." Han Tao said insincerely, he is still a single dog in his thirties, and he thinks that he is better than Du Jianghai in all aspects of his appearance and income, and seeing that Du Jianghai has such a beautiful girlfriend, he is so jealous that his mood to eat is almost gone.

Du Jianghai was very useful for everyone's praise, he waved his hand and explained: "Don't talk nonsense, I want to, but I am just good friends with others for the time being." ”

Hearing this, everyone smiled politely, and even laughed out loud in their hearts.

"Huh? It's not a girlfriend, that's a pity. ”

"It's okay, it's going to happen sooner or later, it's good to see the relationship."

They said insincerely.

Zhang Qiang was disdainful in his heart, so he said that the goddess looked at this guy, he didn't look good, he was more hypocritical than him, and he didn't like this guy very much on weekdays.

However, in comparison, Gu Feng, who was obviously eating at the same table with the goddess, was even more annoying.

Thinking about the ranking mode mentioned by Gu Feng, he wanted to stop talking, and finally decided to find an opportunity to tell the boss alone.

The other side.

Jun Zilan's mood was also a lot lower.

"Senior sister, you won't really believe that guy's words, will you?" He didn't call the other party Senior Du, but used that guy to refer to him, no way, the other party stood in front of him and said that he was going to make a game to kill Xiaoxiao, and if he still asked him to give people a good face, it would be too embarrassing for him.

"He's right, that's what the game industry is, it's right for players to choose better games, it's even more true for independent game designers to design games with their hearts, and it's not wrong for big manufacturers to borrow or acquire small manufacturers or independent game designers and stand in their shoes, which is very much in the interests of the company."

She said in a low tone: "Maybe that's why there are so few good games, and the power of an individual can't fight against capital after all." ”

"Huh." Gu Feng laughed out loud inattention, and when he reacted, it was too late to regret it.

Jun Zilan raised her head and looked at him, her brows furrowed slightly, a little unhappy, she could hear that Gu Feng was obviously very disdainful of what she just said: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Seeing her expression, Gu Feng panicked inexplicably, and hurriedly explained: "Senior sister, don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you." ”

Jun Zilan stared at him coldly, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"I don't agree with his statement, what individual can't fight against capital after all, it's just an excuse that he can't make a good game. Capital has the advantages of capital, such as capital, talents, and channels. ”

"But capital is also flawed, for example, the purpose of every game from the beginning is to make money, for example, the designers' ideas are severely limited, even if they have good ideas, they are likely to be forced to shelve because of the disapproval of their superiors, for example, many people do game development, testing or other work just for work, not love."

"Take Pop as an example, maybe in the eyes of most people, this game can be seen at a glance, it's very simple, it's not easy to copy? In fact, Happy Match can achieve such success, it is by no means as simple as they think, I will not disclose the specific reason for the time being, the senior sister will look at it at that time, if you want to surpass Happy Match, it depends on them, hehe. Gu Feng glanced sideways at the location of the people in Longteng and smiled disdainfully.
