Poaching
What the hell
Hao Yun turned around in confusion and saw an acquaintance looking at him with a smile.
This person is none other than Mr. Xu, CEO of DaMi Entertainment - Xu Qianshi!
Okay, saying they are acquaintances may be a bit high, but there is still a chance relationship.
Hao Yun was obviously not the only one who was surprised. The senior brothers and sisters who were watching from a distance also had surprised expressions on their faces.
Anyone who is in the Internet industry or who plans to develop in the direction of new media knows the name Xu Qianshi.
As the leader of DaMi Entertainment, it can be said that DaMi Group expanded from a pure electronics industry giant into the entertainment field and developed its own entertainment industry ecological chain. It was Mr. Xu who single-handedly promoted it.
"What the hell? Junior Brother Hao actually knows Mr. Xu?"
"Judging from Mr. Xu's tone, the relationship between the two of them is not very close?"
"No wonder 2048 sold for 1 million... There is such a relationship."
"Hiss... But why do I think Yunmeng Group lost money?"
"Mr. Xu?" Hao Yun didn't hear the discussion next to him. He was slightly startled when he saw that face, and then said with a smile, "Why are you here too?"
Xu Qianshi laughed and said in a teasing tone.
"Jiangcheng University is also the number one university in the Central Summer region. Is there any problem with me recruiting here? Besides, you just poached an excellent employee from me. Isn't it allowed that I recruit someone to fill the vacancy?"
"Poaching?" Hearing this word again, Hao Yun said with some confusion, "Is there any misunderstanding in this...?"
Xu Qianshi seemed to be smiling, but he couldn't tell.
When Li Zongzheng felt guilty, he pulled Hao Yun's sleeve under the table 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 have been working for the Rice Group."
I go
Are you really poaching
Hao Yun was surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously and was even a little proud.
Being able to attract talents from the Rice Group is not something that ordinary companies can do.
This shows what
It shows that not only you, but also outsiders can see that Yunmeng Group has a bright future!
As for whether it will affect the relationship between Yunmeng Group and Rice Group, Hao Yun is not worried at all.
If you dig, you'll dig. Job-hopping is a normal behavior. He didn't think that Xu Qianshi would find trouble with him, so he said confidently.
"Oh, it seems that there is such a thing... Then on behalf of that employee, I would like to thank Mr. Xu for his training!"
Xu Qianshi really didn't take this matter to heart at first, but when Hao Yun said this confidently, he almost got internal injuries from anger.
Good guy, are you quite proud of yourself
"Aren't you embarrassed at all?" Xu Qianshi couldn't help but ask.
Hao Yun said helplessly: "This... what can I do? Others think they have more prospects here and go through the normal resignation procedures. I think he is a good person so I signed... Mr. Xu will not come to me for such a trivial matter. Let’s raise an army to hold him accountable.”
After staring at Hao Yun for a while, Xu Qianshi took a stool from the side and sat in front of the recruitment booth. He did not continue the previous topic and spoke.
"Aren't you curious about what I'm doing here?"
"...Aren't you here to recruit?" Hao Yun looked confused. Did this guy just say that a few seconds ago
"Yes, and no," he said ambiguously. Xu Qianshi looked at him and continued, "Let's have a casual chat about what you think of DaMi Entertainment."
This question is quite interesting.
To be honest, Hao Yun didn't have any opinions. After all, Xu Qianshi was a veteran in this industry. He had started his own business less than two months ago and was a complete novice in the market.
As for the game…
This is what he is good at, after all, he was a game designer in his previous life. Even though most of the memories are covered with a veil, some experiences regarding design concepts are still more or less retained.
For this parallel world where the development history of the video game industry is less than 20 years ago, many design concepts can be called dimensionality reduction attacks. The popularity of 2048 and the fact that "Cemetery" has caused many people in the industry and players to think deeply about the game industry are enough to illustrate this problem.
Thinking of this, Hao Yun also gained some confidence, so he talked in a casual tone.
"I don't know anything else, but as far as the game industry of DaMi Entertainment is concerned, I think you have narrowed the road."
Upon hearing this, not only Xu Qianshi was stunned, but also Li Zongzheng and Sun Xiaoteng sitting next to him.
this…
The person opposite is the CEO of Da Mi Entertainment!
Isn't this too tactful to say
What was even more surprising were the senior brothers and sisters who had been paying attention here, with surprised expressions on their faces.
Damn it
This junior brother is a bit awesome, and he actually said directly to Mr. Xu that you have narrowed the road.
This is beyond words to describe!
However, Xu Qianshi was not a petty person after all. Instead of being angry, he looked at Hao Yun with interest.
"Do you think we have narrowed the road? Then you can tell us how to narrow the road."
"I heard that DaMi Group has acquired a lot of game studios, right? If I remember correctly, there is the Great Qin Empire in China, and Alpha Light abroad... These are the top 3A game manufacturers in the industry." Hao Yun said.
Li Zongzheng, who was sitting next to him, nodded. He had heard of all these names and 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 AAA masterpieces is because of the action game Qin Empire.
Xu Qianshi didn't say anything, just waiting for Hao Yun to continue talking.
"Although I don't know the agreements between you and those game studios, but in the past two years, the works produced by these game studios are either sequels to some hot works, or they are remakes of previously popular works. Ke... In short, they are all games with excellent graphics but almost the same gameplay. The themes are mainly action and drama, but there are also some shooting, racing and strategy games. Am I right?"
"Is there any problem with this?" Xu Qianshi looked at Hao Yun and asked.
"Of course! The problem is, the game is much more than that."
Hearing this, Xu Qianshi was stunned, frowned slightly and said.
"What does it mean?"
"That's the literal meaning," Hao Yun smiled lightly and talked about his understanding of the game based on his work experience in his previous life. "It doesn't matter if you just make money, but if you want to create a popular IP, you just need to rely on excellent graphics and A rich plot is not enough. In the final analysis, games are tools to entertain people. The core is to make people relax and happy, but it is human nature to hate repetitive work. If the basic gameplay does not change... why don't people choose to have excellent graphics? What about movies, or directly choose novels with excellent plots?”
Xu Qianshi fell into deep thought and seemed to be thinking about this issue seriously.
Hao Yun continued, "From my own perspective, I think games have their own unique advantages compared to other content communication media, and that is interactivity. To put it simply, it is gameplay."
Xu Qianshi: "You mean, gameplay is the core of the game?"
Hao Yun: "Absolutely. Even if the picture is simple and the plot is monotonous, as long as the gameplay is interesting enough, it can still become an excellent work. On the contrary, it needs to rely on the picture or plot or even music to make up for the shortcomings in gameplay. I think as a game This is undoubtedly a failure."
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 asked with a smile, "Does 2048 count, or a jump, or even a temple escape? Just in terms of the three dimensions of picture, plot, sound effect, I would give it even one point. Too many, but that doesn’t stop them from still achieving a certain level of success.”
In fact, there are many more examples that Hao Yun wanted to give, but those examples were left behind in his previous life and could not be brought back, leaving only some vague shadows.
In fact, this is inevitable.
After all, the speed of civilianization of the electronics industry in this era is too rapid. In just 18 years from the first year of the New Year to now, the world has completed the journey that Hao Yun took almost half a century to complete in his previous life. .
Many works from the picture tube era were never produced in this era. Even the first game launched on the civilian market had an LCD screen, but it was replaced by more advanced OLED within two years. Now even more popular is quantum dot display technology. the concept of.
As for CPU and memory, that's even more exaggerated.
As a result, the arcade game consoles that Hao Yun had in mind, as well as the Bully and Famicom 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 require time to settle.
After listening to Hao Yun's words, Xu Qianshi was speechless for a moment. He wanted to refute but couldn't find a suitable reason.
You said that 2048 is not popular... but it is a product of its own agency, and it relies on this product to check and balance the Pineapple Speed of the Pineapple Phone.
Not to mention Temple Escape, there is now an additional category of parkour games on the market, and this category is named after Temple Escape.
Suddenly, he had a vague feeling in his heart. 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 words—
"I think instead of getting more and more complicated on the two roads of graphics and plot, it is better to try to develop some small but beautiful games."
"...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. The question that had been puzzling for a long time finally found the answer at this moment.
This is not just a problem for Rice Entertainment, but also a problem faced by the entire game industry today!
A large number of games with excellent picture quality and lack of content have flooded the entire game market. Everyone is crowded on the same track and working hard. Isn't this why the game production teams acquired by Dami Entertainment have all gone downhill
And isn’t this why low-level games like 2048 and Temple Escape can stand out from the public’s attention
At least that's one of the reasons!
His eyes became brighter and brighter, and Xu Qianshi stared at Hao Yun with piercing eyes.
This guy is a talent!
What the hell, studying here is such a waste of talent!
Damn, I really want this guy!
This look made Hao Yun feel scared. Just when he was about to say something, the system's pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.
[System prompt: Xu Qianshi has obtained the "enlightened" state]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Lucky Gem (Quality: S)]
Damn it
What the hell is enlightenment
But this guy has no potential... By the way, does this count as enlightening Mr. Xu
And what use does this lucky S gem have
Since the last time he hit a gem, he felt that he had never been lucky in the real sense until now. Instead, he had stumbled on pork.
Just when Hao Yun was looking confused, a strange voice suddenly floated over from the side, followed by several hearty applause.
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!"
I saw a man with neatly combed hair, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, walking over and looking at Hao Yun with a smile on his face.
"This classmate, are you interested in joining our Longwei Group?"
