Monday, April 4th.
When he woke up in the morning, Pei Qian slightly smoothed his work goals for the past two days.
Let's first arrange the two game departments that make money frequently, Tenda Games and Shangyang Games!
Well, Yangyang Games, let them fully promote the ioi national service.
As for Tenda Games, Pei Qian had to find some work for them.
Otherwise, Hu Xianbin and the others will continue to do their best to update the version of gog, release new heroes, and increase publicity and promotion efforts. The ioi national server may not be able to beat it.
After all, gog's start in China is much smoother than that of ioi. It is necessary to find a way for ioi to grab all the players of gog.
As for what to do for Hu Xianbin and the others...
Pei Qian thought for a while, and decided to sum up experience and learn lessons. This time, he must develop a single-player game that no one cares about!
The success of "Better Tomorrow" was a very heavy blow to Pei Qian, which turned his three views upside down.
Why is it disgusting to the audience in my opinion, but the audience is not angry at all? This is not scientific at all!
After thinking hard, Pei Qian understood.
The main problem is the way of expression!
In the movie "Better Tomorrow", if the audience brings themselves into the male protagonist, it will definitely be very uncomfortable, very aggrieved, and will soon die of poisoning.
But it's a movie after all.
Zhu Xiaoce uses a specific method to keep the audience from the perspective of God, and no one brings in the hero or heroine at all, and can view the story with a higher level and more compassionate attitude.
So, the taste changed instantly.
In Pei Qian's view, this is also the biggest failure of "Better Tomorrow". From blood loss to blood gain, it is completely a matter of one thought and irreversible.
Therefore, Pei Qian thinks about it, and if he feeds the audience poison, he will lose money. This point of view itself is correct.
Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "kneeling to the truth".
The key is how to feed it, which requires certain skills.
The sense of substitution must be strengthened!
As long as everyone is substituted into the role, and then the role is miserable, it will definitely achieve the desired effect.
Pei Qian felt that he seemed to have found the crux of "Better Tomorrow" making money, and he needed a little verification next.
But how to verify...
Feihuang Studio has been shocked by Pei Qian, and he was bitten by a snake once, and he doesn't want to touch movies again in the short term.
In comparison, games are a more immersive art form!
Some suffering in the movie will not arouse much disgust from the audience, but in the game, if the player is abused with the protagonist, it is not easy to say.
Of course, some people may suggest that a suffering game like "Back to the Shore" did not arouse the game's disgust, but made players very happy.
This is a complete misunderstanding.
Although suffering games such as "Going Back to the Shore" will make players suffer, what players like is not the feeling of suffering, but the feeling of becoming stronger after suffering. In the final analysis, it is to gain the sense of accomplishment of overcoming difficulties.
That is to say, the players of this game are not shaking m at all, on the contrary, they are shaking s.
Almost all games in the world must give players enough positive feedback so that players can have fun.
And Pei Qian has decided that this game will definitely not give players any positive feedback, but only pass down negative energy!
Doesn't it mean "kneeling to the truth"
This time, I will make a game that is extremely real, and I will definitely be able to make no friends!
This time, President Pei decided to go out in person and write the story outline of the game himself. To prevent Hu Xianbin from misinterpreting his intentions, he must arrange the players clearly!
Of course, Pei Qian also thought of it, this is not necessarily a loss, the failure of the game "Game Producer" is a very profound lesson.
At that time, Pei Qian also thought that the narration of "Game Producer" was abusing the players. As a result, the players were not angry at all, and the narration became a big bonus.
Coupled with Qiao Laoshi's over-interpretation, things got out of hand.
For these, Pei Qian also thought of countermeasures early, and he will never repeat the same mistakes again, let alone fall twice in a puddle!
In short, Pei Qian learned the lessons from the two failures of "Better Tomorrow" and "Game Producer", and decided to do it all in one battle!
…
The reception room of Tenda's game department.
Hu Xianbin was slightly nervous.
Pei Qian called Hu Xianbin to the reception room alone, and wanted to tell him about the design ideas of this new game.
This time Pei Qian didn't call anyone else, especially old employees like Li Yada and Bao Xu.
Because these people have participated in the development of "Game Producer" and have a deep understanding of the success of "Game Producer", Pei Qian is afraid that their participation will lead to this new project as well.
Therefore, Pei Qian decided to isolate these old employees.
Let a few old employees who have participated in the development of "Game Producer" go to maintain gog casually, and transfer Hu Xianbin and other new employees who have no experience in stand-alone game development to be responsible for the development of new games.
In order to ensure that this project can fully reach the level he expected, Pei Qian explained everything to Hu Xianbin in detail this time, so as to prevent him from having any brain supplements.
Pei Qian took a sip of tea and explained his thoughts.
"The name of this game, called "Struggle", is an interactive movie game with a realistic theme. All the characters in it must be modeled in high-definition and motion captured, and the picture quality level is on par with 3a masterpieces."
"Of course, because the game process is short, it won't cost a lot of money. Probably... prepare 40 million first, it's not enough to add more."
"The development time is tentatively set for five months, and strive to go online around September 1."
Hu Xianbin was at a loss.
What the hell
Interactive movie game, or realism theme
What magical combination is this
The so-called interactive movie games can be regarded as text adventure games with exquisite pictures. After the story begins, players can choose different routes and play different endings, but all the players need to do is to choose among certain options, without actually getting started.
Interactive movie games, some with game screens and some with real sets and actors, are not cheap.
But as Boss Pei requested, all the characters' high-definition modeling, motion capture, and quality are on par with 3a masterpieces, which may cost more money than real sets and actors.
40 million is enough to make a movie...
Thinking of this, Hu Xianbin felt a lot of pressure while he was stunned.
It doesn't sound very reliable!
If President Pei hadn't said it himself, Hu Xianbin would have thought that someone was going to falsely pass on the imperial edict.
Pei Qian continued: "The so-called "struggle" is to let players experience the struggle in reality again in the game."
"This time the game will be divided into two parts, the rich version and the poor version, which will be sold separately."
"The rich version of "Struggle" is sold to the poor, the original price is 29, and the discounted price is 19 yuan; the poor version of "Struggle" is sold to the rich, the original price is 99, and the discounted price is 79."
"If players only buy one edition, they can enjoy a discounted price; if they buy both editions, they can only follow the original price, which is a total of 128 yuan."
Hu Xianbin blinked: "What's the meaning of this...?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Of course there is a deep meaning, the poor experience the life of the rich, the poor have no money, so the price is lower; the rich experience the life of the poor, the rich have money, so the price is higher; there is no second chance in life, so I think It takes more money to experience everything.”
Hu Xianbin was silent and said with emotion: "President Pei's pricing is so philosophical..."
Pei Qian continued: "Whether it is the poor version or the rich version, it will be divided into several stages, from small to large, from school to work, from work to life, from rest to entertainment... We have to show as much as possible through these scenes. every aspect of the life of the poor or the rich.”
"In the rich version, the player plays the role of a rich man, who has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and has had a smooth sailing. With the money and resources of his parents, he has easily achieved success in all aspects of life, career, and love."
"But in the end, he died at the knife of a homeless man."
"In the poor man's version, the player plays the role of a poor man, who has had a rough road since he was small, and did not counterattack when he grew up, but continued the cycle of poverty."
Hu Xianbin was dumbfounded: "Then what?"
Pei Qian: "Then? No more, that's what the game is all about."
Hu Xianbin was even more confused: "As an interactive movie game, shouldn't there be many endings?"
Pei Qian shook his head: "No, no matter what you choose in front of this game, there are only two endings in the end: the rich are killed by the homeless, and the poor continue to be poor."
Pei Qian secretly said, I will never make the mistake of multiple endings in "Game Producer"!
Hu Xianbin was shocked: "If everything is doomed, what will the players play?"
Pei Qian explained: "The process will be different. Every time the player chooses different, they will lead to different branch lines, but all the branch lines will return to the same ending."
"The difference between those branch lines cannot be reflected in the ending."
"As for the details of this game, it must be filled in all aspects of life under the big framework."
"For example, when you go to school, the poor can only go to ordinary schools with low education quality, while the rich can go to expensive aristocratic schools; when you go to work, the poor often fail in interviews, while the rich go directly to work in their father's company; fall in love When I was married, the poor broke up with their long-term girlfriends because they couldn’t afford a house, and the rich took different girls from nightclubs to their residence every day; when they got married, the poor bought a small second-hand house with the help of the whole family, and the rich bought a small second-hand house. People's homes have long been prepared for luxury homes, and there is nothing to do. The value of the real estate alone increases every year and earns more than the hard work of the poor..."
"Understand?"
Hu Xianbin's mouth twitched slightly: "I... I understand it too well."
Pei Qian thought for a while and added: "Oh, by the way, the background of the story should be in Europe and America, and find a few foreigners for motion capture and dubbing."
Hu Xianbin: "President Pei, does this game... have any deep meaning?"
Pei Qian chuckled: "You don't need to care if you have a deep meaning, as long as you do your job well."
"I'll come up with the story outline of the game, and you and the rest of the production team are responsible for perfecting the plot. After the plot is all written, show it to me again to make sure that there is no deviation in understanding."
"Okay, it's time to prepare."
"You can do things like art resources first. Anyway, you can make up your own mind and know what kind of roles you want to be, parents, teachers, classmates, bosses, etc."
Pei Qian briefly explained a few more words, then turned and left.
Only Hu Xianbin was left to think hard while pulling his hair.
Teacher, is this question out of line
Totally incomprehensible!
…
This time, Pei Qian was also fully prepared in order to be sure that he would lose everything.
This price is very meaningful.
The poor man's version can also be called the ultimate suffering version. After playing this game, you can suffer the sins of the poor in reality again, and end up being abused.
The rich version, which can also be called the gold foil wrapping version, has been smooth sailing in the front, and it is completely a dragon and proud template.
Considering that the rich version is wrapped in gold foil, it was not until the end that the poor dagger saw it, and the front was very cool, so Pei Qian deliberately set a low price of 19 yuan.
The poor version was abused all the way, but set a high price of 79.
In order to prevent players from playing the two versions together and having some inexplicable interpretations, Pei Qian deliberately increased the price of buying the two versions together.
And if players really want to buy it, the best option is to buy the 19-yuan rich version. It doesn't cost much, and the risk of Pei Qian making money is very low.
As for the content inside, it's even more extreme. It's okay to be abused throughout the whole process. The key is that both endings are terrible. No matter how hard the player works in the game, they can't change these two endings!
Just this game, can anyone still play it
Impossible!
This time, Pei Qian was determined to "kneel to the truth".
Use this method to kill, and strive to make all 40 million go to waste, and there is not a single cent left!
