Does making a horror game greatly increase the probability of losing money
Pei Qian certainly knows that there are some very successful and very profitable horror games in the world, but overall, such games are rare.
Only a very few horror games can stand out and be remembered by players, and most horror games or horror movies have gone unnoticed, or become the material for some spit shows.
The reason for this is the same as the haunted house.
On the one hand, horror themes naturally dissuade a large number of timid players or viewers;
On the other hand, if the horror theme is not done well, it is easy to make it into a funny theme.
Take horror movies, for example.
If you want to shoot scary, you must first ensure a high degree of fidelity, and the investment in scenes, props, costumes, makeup, etc. is very high.
On the basis of guaranteeing investment, through superb shooting techniques and mirroring, the audience can never guess what will happen next, and always maintain a tense spirit to ensure that the audience's immersion will not be stripped.
If it is a non-professional playing horror theme, it is easy to play the effect of the haunted house in Jingzhou, and both sides are not flattering:
The timid tourists dare not enter, and the daring tourists find it boring.
The same is true for horror games. There are very few manufacturers that can really do horror games well.
The reason why Pei Qian wanted Shangyang Games to be a horror theme was that everyone who liked Lin Wan and Shangyang Games had no experience in developing horror games.
At that time, a very rubbish horror game will be made, and it is logical to have a look at Qiao Laoshi's "Trash Game Big Tucao" program, wouldn't it be beautiful
Of course, we still have to encourage everyone, at least we have to coax Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou to take on this mission that is likely to fail.
Pei Qian put the teacup aside and said seriously: "The domestic game market, the field of horror games, is still blank!"
"The domestic single-player game industry is very weak, and the field of horror games is even a niche among a niche in single-player games!"
"At the same time, horror games have extremely high requirements on the ability of producers."
"Since you want to prove yourself, you have to do the most difficult subject! If you can conquer even horror games, then you can do other games in the future, of course!"
"Tengda people, how can you retreat in spite of difficulties?"
Lin Wan blinked, lost in thought.
Obviously, after hearing Pei Qian's words, her attitude was shaken.
Pei Qian was secretly proud of himself, and sure enough, he knew that it would be effective!
If it was someone else, Pei Qian's remarks might backfire and make the other party retreat.
But Lin Wan is different, she is a girl who likes to challenge.
Moreover, the mobile game version of "Blood War Song" has just achieved such a great success, and the entire project team is in a blindly optimistic atmosphere, as the saying goes, it is relatively inflated.
In this case, who doesn't want to make a 3a masterpiece with its own topic to prove itself
Pei Qian felt that this kind of temptation was absolutely impossible for the employees of Shangyang Games to refuse.
Lin Wan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Pei, I have to discuss this topic with Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin again."
Pei Qian nodded with a smile: "Of course."
He could already see that Lin Wan's heart had obviously been shaken.
Since the three of them haven't figured out what to do, then Pei Qian's direction will become their guiding light!
Lin Wan stood up and wanted to call Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin over to discuss the specifics of the new game.
Pei Qian raised his hand to stop her.
"Wait a minute, there's one more thing."
Lin Wan nodded: "Mr. Pei, you said."
Pei Qian said solemnly: "In addition to the new game, there is an important task for you."
"Tengda wants to create a brand new mobile phone brand."
"And this phone brand... I want to give you full responsibility."
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "No, President Pei, I really can't be responsible for this."
"Although I have bought a lot of expensive mobile phones, I actually don't know anything about mobile phones, and I have no interest in them. What's more, I have to be in charge of the Shangyang game.
Pei Qian, who was categorically rejected, was not impatient, and Lin Wan's reaction was within his expectations.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse."
"Mobile phones are a very important business layout for Tenda, even more important than Sunny Games."
"After all, the upper limit of Shangyang Games is only a well-known domestic game company, but the upper limit of the mobile phone business may be a technology giant with a market value of 100 billion!"
"In the future, the impact of mobile phones on people's lives will inevitably become more and more closely. It is a mobile terminal and a window for everyone to communicate with the Internet."
"Just like Shenhua Group, a mobile phone market can easily launch a game, you should have seen this huge energy, right?"
"If it can succeed in the mobile phone business, then Tenda will be even more powerful!"
Pei Qian desperately painted cakes.
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment: "Uh... Mr. Pei, I understand everything you said. But I still feel that I have to be in charge of the game and mobile phone business at the same time, and I have some lack of skills... "
Pei Qian shook his head: "You underestimate yourself too much."
"This is a must for anyone who wants to grow from an average leader to a great leader."
"Besides, the mobile phone business won't let you do the work alone. I will find a way to assign you a helper. You can hand over all the specific business to him, and you are only responsible for making decisions?"
"Tengda's current business is so complicated, and I basically don't care about it. It's all developing well."
"Just be a hands-off shopkeeper like me."
Lin Wan took this as a joke and smiled cooperatively: "Mr. Pei, how can I compare with you."
Pei Qian hurriedly raised his hand: "You don't have to belittle yourself, you must all be better than me."
"In short, this is the only way to grow into a good manager."
"What's more, looking at the entire Tenda Group, who else is suitable for the mobile phone business besides you?"
Pei Qian's expression was one hundred and twenty percent sincere.
Lin Wan was startled, and suddenly felt that what President Pei said made sense.
President Pei's layout has always been very large, and it is not uncommon to decide to enter the mobile phone field.
At present, with the funds of Tenda, if you want to support a mobile phone department, it will not be completely unaffordable.
After all, looking at President Pei's meaning, this mobile phone department is going to develop slowly, and I don't plan to eat a fat man in one bite.
One thing to say, Lin Wan is really the most suitable person in Tenda Group to take over this mobile phone department.
Although Lin Wan doesn't know the inside story of the mobile phone industry, other people don't know either!
President Pei can indeed spend a lot of money to poach people from other companies, but such poached executives are very unreliable, and their loyalty is very problematic.
Even if the executive is loyal enough, it is difficult to guarantee that he can well grasp the spirit of Tenda.
Among all Tenda's old employees, Lin Wan is indeed the most involved in the mobile phone business. After all, Shenhua Group started out in the mobile phone and communication business.
As the saying goes, even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen a pig go away. Even if Lin Wan doesn't know much about the mobile phone industry, she is more suitable for this job than other old Tengda employees.
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I will think about this matter. However, during this time, you should continue to look for other more suitable candidates. It is best to find someone more suitable than me."
Pei Qian nodded: "Okay."
Lin Wan's attitude has obviously loosened, and it is only a matter of time before she agrees.
Pei Qian pondered, when the time comes, she can find someone in the industry who knows a little about the mobile phone business to help her. This combination will probably make the mobile phone business cold!
It's just who to find someone to fight Lin Wan...
This has to be considered in the long run.
If you find someone who is very capable and take Lin Wan away, then something big will happen.
"Then, President Pei, I'll call Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin over, can you briefly explain the general direction of the horror game to them?" Lin Wan asked.
Pei Qian hurriedly shook his head: "No."
"In the early days, you still think about it yourself. I don't want to limit your thinking."
"After you have a general idea, I will make a few more comments."
Pei Qian already distrusted his own design ideas.
What should I do if I slapped my forehead and thought of an idea, and then inexplicably caught fire
However, it cannot be completely ignored.
Pei Qian thought about asking Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin to come up with an idea first, and then "point" it in the opposite direction to ensure that the game would not make any money.
"Okay, you guys are busy first, and I'll come over later."
Pei Qian got up and left.
