Friday, April 22.
In a cafe near Handong University, Pei Qian was drinking coffee while staring at the screen of his mobile phone, reciting the content on it silently.
Yesterday, He An from Menguo Games agreed to come to Jingzhou, but whether he would like to teach or not depends on the test results.
As for why the meeting place was chosen at this cafe instead of Moyu Internet Cafe... The answer is obvious.
Pei Qian went to Moyu Internet Cafe too many times, and all the clerks knew him.
If you don't explain it well in advance, the clerk will definitely reveal flaws; but if you explain it well and let the clerk help you cover, then too many people know about this matter, and it is easy to leak.
What's more, the Internet cafe is opposite the Halo Studio, and Ruan Guangjian runs over to buy coffee every day. If he bumps into a straight face, Ruan Guangjian shouts "Mr. Pei" again, it will be wonderful.
Therefore, considering all aspects, Pei Qian decided to avoid his own property as much as possible when meeting in the future, and the less people knew about the matter of inviting He An to lecture, the better.
Anyway, just to spend money and learn knowledge, don't care about so many details.
At present, only Assistant Xin and driver Xiao Sun know about this, and they are working hard to cover for Pei Qian.
It is already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. According to Xiao Sun's report, Mr. He has already got off the plane, and he may arrive in more than 40 minutes.
And Pei Qian has been rushing to review from last night to now, except for sleeping time.
As for, without textbooks, what to review
Pei Qian thought hard and could only predict.
He spent a lot of time yesterday, searching out all the games He An had ever made. It is impossible to play it again. He can only look at the relevant videos, and then look at the explanation and evaluation of the game. , master some basic knowledge.
Anyway, as long as you don't behave too much, and then use the tuition to express your sincerity, it should be appropriate.
After searching the games He An had made, Pei Qian realized that this is really a senior giant in the domestic game industry.
He Ansheng was born in 1969 and is 42 years old this year. When he was 20 years old, he had already made the first casual game, and then he made a well-known stand-alone rpg game in the industry, and it was a huge success. He established a game of his own. The company, that is, the alliance fruit game.
His latest game is a multiplayer national warfare RPG terminal game that was developed three years ago, is still in operation today and is in good condition, but after developing this game, he has already made a name for himself and is in a semi-retired state. .
Such a big guy can be said to have witnessed the development history of the entire domestic game industry, and he has also made achievements in many game types, and is absolutely qualified to give lectures to the vast majority of domestic designers.
Even ordinary people can't ask him to touch him.
But this also brings a problem.
There is so much that Pei Qian needs to rush to review!
With so many games, Pei Qian can only take a quick look at it. Once He An asks a deeper question, he will probably not be able to answer it.
Pei Qian was very helpless, but he only had so much time, and he was not a genius who would never forget it, and there were many games in here that were too old. Although he was famous at the time, Pei Qian had never heard of it, so he just learned by rote. Back, the effect can be imagined.
There is no other way, but I can only hope for my own luck and banknote ability like the emperor.
In the process of memorizing the question, forty minutes passed before I knew it.
"Mr. He, this way." Xiao Sun pushed in the door and led a middle-aged man in his forties to the cafe.
Pei Qian recognized He An immediately. Compared with the photo, he looked younger. Although he was a little sloppy, the confidence of a middle-aged successful person was inadvertently exuded by his gestures.
Pei Qian got up to meet him, and shook hands with He An.
"Mr. He, hello!"
He An smiled warmly: "You are President Ma, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."
Pei Qian also smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm Ma Yang. Mr. He, please take a seat."
The two sat down separately. After Xiao Sun asked the waiter, he immediately arranged for the coffee, and then went out to wait in the car.
Pei Qian had already told him that Xiao Sun was in charge of He An's itinerary during this time.
On the one hand, it is the way of hospitality, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent piercing.
What Pei Qian is thinking about now is to spend the 1.6 million as smoothly as possible, and don't create some strange rumors.
The two chatted while drinking coffee.
He An calmly said: "I really didn't expect President Ma to make great achievements in the investment industry at such a young age. He really is a hero."
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Didn't Mr. He already make his first game when he was 20 years old and become famous in China?"
The smile on He An's face became even brighter. Obviously, no one would feel uncomfortable with this kind of business talk.
"Mr. Ma may be very talented in the investment industry, but game design is another matter entirely. As I said before I came here, I want to conduct a simple little test. I hope Mr. Ma will not mind."
Pei Qian nodded: "Of course."
He An took out a folded document from his bag, about three or four pages, and handed it to Pei Qian: "Mr. Ma can answer according to his own ideas, don't be nervous, this should be considered relatively simple. topic."
Hearing the words "relatively simple", Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief. If it is basic knowledge, it seems that it is not a big problem to get a passing score for the content of his surprise review.
Of course, it cannot be taken lightly.
Pei Qian took the test questions and took out the pen from his jacket pocket, which he had bought at a high price for a surprise attack but had only been used a few times, and was ready to start answering.
However, after seeing the title, Pei Qian was dumbfounded.
Just scan a few questions.
"The success of "The Lonely Desert Highway" has used the psychology of the player group? What is the designer's purpose?"
"Why does the style of "Ghost General" stand out among other card games? How should designers balance their own needs and the original artist's inspiration?"
"What was the original intention of setting the price of the fire unicorn in "Fortress at Sea" at 888? What effect did it have objectively?"
"What's so great about the way Game Maker is marketed? What's the central idea of the game?"
"… "
"What kind of thinking does the epitaph in "Back to the Shore" reflect the designer? What effect did it have objectively?"
There are a total of three pages, all of which are short answer questions, and they have left blank spaces very thoughtfully.
Pei Qian looked up at He An with a complicated expression.
Just test this? ?
Why am I still reciting the basics of this Assault game and the game you designed!
In the end, you actually used the game I made to test me. What does it mean
If I knew this earlier, why would I search for the game data you made? Wouldn't it be the end of watching all of Qiao Laoshui's videos again!
Seeing "Ma Yang" with a slightly confused expression in surprise, He An smiled slightly: "Hehe, Mr. Ma, do you think I'm going to give some basic knowledge, or some game-related topics that I've done?"
"Those basic knowledge can be found on the Internet, and it is meaningless to memorize it by rote."
"As for the games I've made... I'm reluctant to admit it, but it's outdated."
"Now learning game design, you must learn the most innovative games."
"It just so happens, Mr. Ma, you are interested in games, and you happen to be working in an investment company under Tenda, so you want to have some understanding of Tenda games."
"Learning more about Tenda's design concept will help you the most."
"Well, as I said, this test is really not difficult, right?"
Pei Qian: "..."
I looked at He An, and then at the test questions in my hands, with mixed feelings in my heart.
Forget it, what else can I do? Answer it!
Pei Qian walked the dragon and snake, swiped on the paper, and answered quickly.
He An waited patiently while drinking coffee.
…
Half an hour later, Pei Qian finished his answer.
Although it didn't fill up three pages, it was guaranteed that each question had at least three or five lines of characters, which looked like that.
Short answer questions have to fill in the blanks even if they are nonsense. This is a good habit that Pei Qian has left since high school.
He An happily took over the exam questions, and his expression quickly became unpredictable.
"The success of "Lonely Desert Highway" exploits the masochistic psychology and gangster psychology of the player group. The designer's purpose is to make players feel bored in the game and give up the game."
"The epic ink and oil painting impasto style of "Ghost General" is very special in many Q-version games, and the imaginative character design is also a plus. Designers should completely give up their own needs and let the original artists play freely."
"The original intention of the fire unicorn price of "Sea Fortress" at 888 is to persuade players not to buy. Objectively, it seems to stimulate the consumption of local tyrants."
"The great thing about the marketing of "Game Producer" is that the crappy marketing content unexpectedly triggers the effect of the up-master's spontaneous marketing. The central idea of the game is 'to be misinterpreted is the fate of the expressor'."
"… "
"The epitaph in "Going Back to the Shore" reflects the designer's idea of doing everything possible to persuade the players, which objectively had the opposite effect and stimulated the players' rebellious psychology."
He An looked at these answers, his brows furrowed and stretched from time to time.
Pei Qian drank coffee silently, feeling very complicated.
He hesitated for a long time, should he write his actual thoughts, or answer the questions according to the content that Qiao Laoshi and others have over-interpreted
Although based on the principle of honesty, you should write your actual thoughts, but in that case, it is estimated that Mr. He would have to fly on the spot.
Therefore, Pei Qian could only use the standard answers that Qiao Laoshi had over-interpreted and the successful experience of the game summed up by his designers to answer the question with shame.
But the problem is that Qiao Laoshi will not publish videos for every game of President Pei.
There are some questions that Qiao Laoshi has never made a video, and some questions about "designer's intention", Pei Qian really doesn't know how to answer, he can only let himself go.
While such an answer may seem absurd, it can only be so.
Hope it passes!
He An looked at all three pages, with a little confusion in his eyes.
"Some of the questions were answered very well; some of the questions were said in a more straightforward language, but the meaning was the same; and some of the questions... were answered outrageously."
"To be honest, I'm a little unpredictable about your true level."
Pei Qian showed a polite smile.
The real level is unpredictable
That's right.
Because I can't figure it out myself...
