299. Pokeni is simply the cradle of cultivating genius
After the release of "The Witcher's Devil's Egg", it quickly achieved exceptionally good results.
Since this time the game is released worldwide, it is equivalent to neon and Omi regions at the same time.
Neon's local sales performance is more than 400,000 copies in the first week.
It is equivalent to a breakthrough and a far leader in action games, especially because of the new 3D top-down production mode adopted by pokeni this time, which makes the game have an updated expressiveness and experience.
Coupled with the unanimous praise given by the game media, Famitsu gave a perfect score of 40 points, making "The Witcher Demon Egg" a better achievement, becoming a popular bestseller throughout March and even two months later.
The players' expectations for it and the word-of-mouth spread after the experience also added a firewood to the hot sales of The Witcher 2.
If this momentum continues, Pkoeni's new game is expected to sell around 4 million to 6 million copies in Neon China.
This is a rather staggering figure, and many people in the industry have expressed their sighs, worthy of Pokeni Company.
The current P Club game has reached: [P Society Production, Must Lose Boutique] [P Society is new, it must be platinum].
Players, the market, and even friends are full of confidence in Pokeni.
It can be said that Qing Zhiyuan single-handedly built P Society into a myth in the industry.
Not to mention the Omi region.
"The Witcher Devil's Egg" itself tells the story of the Western fantasy background, and has a wider audience of players in the Omi market, coupled with the game produced by Hidetaka Miyazaki, it has a strong sense of game playability, operability and a strong sense of atmosphere, and a sense of [refreshing] blow.
Whether it's for players or monsters, it's a double refreshing feeling.
Omi players are naturally more enthusiastic about this kind of more exciting, rhythmic and action-oriented game, and this time the script is really written to the right appetite, with the epic narrative feeling of Western myths and legends, even if it is for literature lovers to play.
Pokeni's royal screenwriter, George Martin himself commented that "this game is definitely an epic game, in which you can read many stories about human history, plus a variety of wonderful metaphors, the game's character story setting, character setting, complex background and huge world view, all have a strong attraction.
It's not just a game, it's more like an epic waiting for you to read, experience, and feel. 】
In short, the game itself is good enough, and it fits the Omega market very well, and has been sought after by many Omega media, and even many of them are sought after by tap water, among which there are also some famous authors who are mixed in the literary world, and they all give high praise.
It is equivalent to multiple explosions in the market, gameplay, and word-of-mouth, how can game sales be bad in such a situation?
Therefore, after the release of "The Witcher Demon Egg" in the Omi region, the sales volume has exceeded 800,000 in just one week, which is twice the neon market, and this growth rate has not slowed down with time, but has a tendency to get faster and faster, and the sales are getting higher and higher.
According to experts' predictions, "The Witcher: Demon Egg" is likely to be the fastest game product in the world to exceed 10 million among Pokeni's many games.
At the same time, it will also become another 10-million-level product after Pokémon.
……
As soon as the relevant data came out, the interior of Pokeni went crazy.
"Wow, that's great, this time it's time to have a good celebration." The first thing that the little secretary HR Ayase thought of was the matter of eating, as well as future travel and team benefits, bonuses and so on.
These can't help but make people feel unusually envious.
In the P club, the president of the company, Qing Zhiyuan, is still quite generous, as long as you can make achievements, make the game good enough, and sell high enough, the bonus must be satisfactory.
According to Akane Ayase's words, it is [the salary increase package is already on the way]
Regarding the results of The Witcher 2, it has sparked heated discussions within the company:
"Wow, I thought that this game would definitely sell well, and I thought it would sell well, but I didn't think it would be so good that it would be much higher than the sales of Princess Mononoke."
"It's normal to think about it carefully, Princess Mononoke is good, that is, good in China, although Master Miyazaki is very famous internationally, but his painting style and painting content are actually more oriental.
Although the core of the animation seems to be a worldwide environmental protection proposition, the background of the entire era and the character settings are actually very oriental.
Such animated films will naturally make Western audiences lack a sense of identity, and the corresponding cultural heritage of the East, especially Asian countries, is derived from China, which is actually more acceptable to Orientals.
On the other hand, the painting style of the entire game of "The Witcher 2" is more Western, but it integrates some Japanese comic styles in it, and the natural audience will be wider.
Wada-san's text is really well written, and the translation is quite good, so it's only natural that such a game is more popular in the Omi region. ”
"Well, that's true, it turns out that the company's Diablo is the same, in neon is not adaptable, but it is not good to be sought after in the Omi market, it is almost heavenly.
Mikami also relied on this game to become famous. ”
"Hey, when will it be our turn to make a game like this?"
"Hahahaha, do you want to be scolded by Superintendent Asano? Could it be that you are not satisfied with Pokémon? ”
"No, no, how dare I! But spare me, and I'll just say it in passing. ”
……
But then again, the current Pokeni project team members are actually quite happy, the company can be said to treat every employee equally, and there is no restriction on personnel, if you want to go to a certain project team, you only need to apply.
If the people above see it, they will arrange the transfer according to the actual situation.
Therefore, it is often the case that the last project of this employee is still in Pokémon, and the next project may be transferred to the Witcher.
Generally speaking, in order to maximize the use of the company's human resources, Qingzhiyuan pursues the purpose of cultivating talents without refinement.
In other words, it is necessary to cultivate talents more comprehensively, and hope that the members within the company are constantly moving, and that after this project is completed, they will flow to the next project.
Any project that lacks manpower can be drawn from wealthy projects.
In terms of treatment, there is no need for members to have any concerns.
For example, in the future of China, many game projects will implement a studio system, that is, small groups will be formed within the company, and if the project is successful, only internal dividends will be paid.
This is actually more conducive to competition among members of the company, but it is not very friendly to the project and the project team members, because they each form a competitive relationship, which will lead to the emergence of many different factions within the company.
The model of Qingzhiyuan is that you are originally in the Pokémon project team, then in the project, you will give a professional evaluation of your contribution to the project, and after the success of the game, everyone will be rewarded according to the merit.
After each game is successfully sold, a part of the revenue will be injected into the company's overall salary pool, which is used to increase the salary package for all members of the company.
You don't have to worry about saying that I was originally in Pokémon and then transferred to Witcher, so after Pokémon is successful, its income will have nothing to do with me.
There is no such situation, and the contributions you have made will be recorded, and there will be corresponding rewards and dividends.
It means that the more members of the company do, the more efficient they are, and the more projects they participate in, the more benefits they will receive.
At the same time, the company also has a clear promotion system, which does not mean that the level is upgraded and the pyramid is formed, but the basic salary upgrade system.
It is also evaluated according to the degree of contribution, if you do enough and contribute more, then the bigger the salary increase package you get, and the higher the base salary.
No matter what kind of project group you go to and what kind of game you participate in, the more tired your basic salary package will be, and the richer you will be.
This is the vertical and flat management model that Qingzhiyuan has given in combination with his future company operation model.
The more active and proactive the members are, and the more and more in-depth skills they master, the more they will be paid.
It is equivalent to encouraging every employee [I am a brick, where I need to move]
Do so. The happiness of everyone in the company is high.
In the previous life, the penguin where Qing Zhiyuan was located, in fact, the factional struggle was too serious, and there was little movement of personnel, and it was a mode of small groups huddling together for warmth. As a result, many people have very simple job skills, and many of them are not technical.
Some people are a form-filling planner as soon as they enter the factory, and they have been doing it for more than ten years, but in fact, they have not made progress for the company or for individuals.
In some small factories, there is a swarm of bees, the temple is small and the demon is strong, and there is still a struggle between people.
In fact, these are not what Qing Zhiyuan wants to see.
Once there is a level differentiation in the company, many contradictions will appear, so Qingzhiyuan does not want to set up a level management model from LV1 to LV7 within the company.
After the formation of the pyramid, Qing Zhiyuan has less contact with the lowest employees, and it is difficult to hear the voices of the people below, in his opinion, these are unfavorable factors that need to be abandoned.
Under the personnel management structure of President Qing Zhiyuan, the members are very motivated to work, and some of them are even eager to finish the project and move on to the next ......
There are no so-called factions or personnel struggles within the company.
Pokeni is also a wonder in the industry, and is envied by many peers.
……
"Terrible! Pokeni's sales results are terrible, right? ”
"The Witcher is better sold mainly in the Omi region, but in terms of this sales volume, breaking through 10 million is already a sure thing."
"Neon's local results are not bad, it can only be said that pokeni is really too strong, so predictable and groundbreaking, from the beginning, it aimed at the market compatible with Omi and Neon, and also made a 3D top-down action game."
"Ah, when will we get to this level, I really hope to get a million-level product at a time."
"Haven't you noticed that there is actually an even more terrible news hidden in the news of the industry."
"What?"
"Pokeni's human resources are the more frightening existence, have you ever thought about such a thing?
If Enix is the cradle of gaming talent and has produced many great talents for the industry, then Pokeni is a bit too scary.
It is the equivalent of a genius manufacturing company.
Whether it's a producer, a scriptwriter, a musician, a sound effect, an artist...... Didn't you find out? Almost all of the world-class talents produced by Pokeni are born. ”
"Ahh That's really the case, from the very beginning of Furuhara Tsubaki, and then to Shinji Mikami, Gen Xubuchi, Jun Asaeda, Mika Ishino, Risa Asano......
Painter Makoto Shintsu, music masters Yoko Shimomura and Atsushi Shirakawa......
I don't know what to say.
It's scary.
With such a member, it's hard to make the game a success, right? ”
"P Society is no longer the cradle of talents, it is simply a harvester of genius. I really don't understand why there are so many excellent people in Pokeni.
Does it mean that the president of Pokeni knows magic?
Or does P have a special talent training mechanism, so that one genius after another can emerge.
The geniuses of the entire game market have been hit worthless by Pokeni. ”
"Now everyone wants to be trained in Pokeni, but it's a pity that people don't give this opportunity."
"What's even more terrifying is that those gods who have succeeded needless to say, this time the producer of The Witcher 2, a name that he had never heard of before, suddenly became popular because of this game."
"Yes, yes, I remember what his name was, Miyazaki, Hidetaka Miyazaki!"
"Isn't it? I hadn't heard of this name before, and I didn't know where the P Society found the newcomers, the new game mode created, the maze setting of the three-dimensional space, and the more imaginative level gameplay...... It's a genius.
Hidetaka Miyazaki, this guy is too talented, right?
It's really enviable. ”
"Being talented is one thing.
What's more, Pokeni was so hasty to let a newcomer take over such an important project as The Witcher 2, and the most terrifying thing is that it was successful.
Don't you think that's amazing? ”
……
After the great success of the sales of the company's new game, The Witcher Devil's Egg, Miyazaki had just returned from the bathroom and everyone was on their feet.
Miyazaki was startled and hesitated to retreat back into the bathroom.
Fortunately, HR Akane Ayase, a big sister with affinity, came over, took his hand, and comforted Hidetaka Miyazaki.
"Miyazaki, you're going to be famous this time."
Akane Ayase said with a smile, and then took the lead in clapping.
The warm applause at the scene burst into flames and lasted for a long, long time.
Everyone smiled and looked at Hidetaka Miyazaki with admiration and approval.
The crowd of black oppressors stood in front of Hidetaka Miyazaki, which made him a little panicked for a moment.
I'm sorry, but that's how social fear is.
Shiori Honda, Jr., walked out of the crowd pushing a large multi-layered cake.
On top of the cake is a brand made of chocolate:
["The Witcher's Devil's Egg" is a big hit!! 】
"Congratulations, Witcher Devil's Egg is a great success!" President Aoi Chigen also walked over and patted Hidetaka Miyazaki on the shoulder vigorously.
"This time it's pretty good, Miyazaki."
It's a man I fancy, "Keep up the good work, Miyazaki!" ”
The president smiled happily and said, "I'm looking forward to your next title, and I'm going to work hard to create new myths for future games." ”
"Thank you, President."
Hidetaka Miyazaki was genuinely afraid.
"Amazing, Miyazaki, you're the most talented producer I've ever met." Shinji Mikami also came over.
"No, no," Hidetaka Miyazaki was admittedly afraid, "It's all Mikami-senpai, you have a good guide, and if you didn't have you as a supervisor, The Witcher 2 wouldn't have such good results." ”
Shinji Mikami laughed.
In fact, for him, the president he admires even more.
President Sei Chi Won,There's some luck in him.,A guy like Hidetaka Miyazaki.,Mikami himself thinks it's an incredible thing to be able to promote him to be the producer of the game.,But the president still insists on it.。
The end result was also quite good, completely exceeding Shinji Mikami's expectations.
He also thought that the newcomer was the producer, and he was estimated to mess up the game, but he didn't expect Hidetaka Miyazaki to directly make himself on the altar.
Pokeni's Hidetaka Miyazaki is equivalent to being forced to stand on the altar.
As a newcomer, being a producer for the first time, I was able to get such a high rating.
It was as if he didn't ask for it on his own initiative, but the altar was automatically moved to the feet of Hidetaka Miyazaki.
……
"Okay, let's cut the cake, young producer." Akane Ayase laughed happily.
She seems to care more about whether the cake is good or not than the game itself.
Akane Ayase was already filling the table with various plates, and then walked over and handed the knife that cut the cake to Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Hidetaka Miyazaki hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to answer.
The whole face was a little red.
Akane Ayase couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw this shy and gloomy guy, "Come on, Miyazaki, today is your big day, congratulations on becoming such an accomplished producer at such a young age in the company."
Cut the cake, or you'll be in a hurry. ”
"That...... I seem to have forgotten to wash my hands. Miyazaki said weakly.
Akane Ayase: ?!!!
