By making a horror game, can the probability of losing money be greatly increased?
Pei Qian certainly knows that there are some very successful and very profitable horror games in the world, but overall, such games are in the minority.
Only a very small number of horror games can stand out and be remembered by players, while most horror games or horror movies have been unknown to the public, or have been reduced to material for some complaints.
The reason for this is the same as the haunted house.
On the one hand, horror themes naturally discourage a large number of timid players or viewers;
On the other hand, if horror themes are not done well, it can easily become comedy themes.
Take horror movies as an example.
If you want to shoot something scary, you must first ensure a very high degree of realism, with high investments in scenes, props, costumes, makeup, etc.
On the basis of ensuring investment, it is also necessary to use superb shooting techniques and storyboards to keep the audience guessing what will happen next, and to maintain a tense spirit at all times to ensure that the audience's immersion is not limited. will be stripped.
If non-professionals play with horror themes, it is easy to create the effect of a haunted house in Jingzhou, which will not please both ends:
Timid tourists dare not enter, but bold tourists do not dare to enter. I find it boring.
The same goes for horror games. There are very few manufacturers that can really make horror games.
The reason why Pei Qian wanted Yangyang Games to develop a horror theme was because Lin Wan and everyone at Yangyang Games had no experience in developing horror games.
When the time comes to make a very rubbish horror game, wouldn’t it be great to have it on Qiao Laoshi’s “Trash Game Complaint” program?
Of course, we still have to encourage everyone, and at least coax Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou to take on this mission that has a high probability of failure.
Pei Qian put the tea cup aside and said seriously: "The domestic game market and the field of horror games are still blank!"
"The domestic stand-alone game industry is very weak. In the field of horror games, it is even more of a niche among stand-alone games!”
“At the same time, horror games have extremely high requirements for producers.”
“Since that’s the case. To prove yourself, just do the most difficult subject matter! If you can conquer horror games, it will be no problem to make other games in the future!"
"How could you know, Tengda people? Why not retreat?"
Lin Wan blinked and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, after hearing what Pei Qian said, her attitude was shaken.
Pei Qian was secretly proud. Sure enough, he knew that saying so would have an effect!
If it had been anyone else, Pei Qian's words might have been counterproductive and made the other party retreat in the face of difficulties.
But Lin Wan is different. She is a girl who likes challenges.
Moreover, the mobile game version of "War Song" has just achieved such great success, the entire project team is in an atmosphere of blind optimism, which as the saying goes is relatively inflated.
In this case, who doesn’t want to make a 3A masterpiece with its own topic to prove themselves?
Pei Qian felt that the employees of Yangyang Games would never be able to refuse this kind of temptation.
Lin Wan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Pei, I have to discuss this topic with Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin."
Pei Qian smiled and nodded: "Of course. "
He had already seen that Lin Wan's heart had obviously been shaken.
Since the three of them have not thought about 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 how to make the new game.
Pei Qian raised his hand to stop her.
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing."
Lin Wan nodded: "Mr. Pei, please tell me."
Pei Qian said seriously: "Except for the new game In addition, there is another important task to be entrusted to you."
"Tengda is going to create a new mobile phone brand."
"And this mobile phone brand... I want to leave it to you. I am fully responsible for it."
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment and shook her head quickly: "No, Mr. Pei, I really can't be responsible for this."
"Although I have bought a lot of expensive ones. But in fact, I know nothing about mobile phones and have no interest in them. What’s more, I have to be responsible for Yangyang Games, so I will definitely be too busy.”
Pei Qian was flatly rejected. There was no impatience, Lin Wan's reaction was within his expectation.
“Don’t refuse in a hurry.”
“Mobile phones are a very important business layout for Tenda, even more important than Yangyang games.”
"After all, the upper limit of Yangyang Games is just 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 In the future, mobile phones will inevitably have an increasingly close impact on people’s lives. 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. You must have seen the huge power of easily making a game popular?"
"If Tenda can succeed in the mobile phone business, then Tenda will be even more powerful!"
Pei Qian worked hard to draw cakes.
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment: "Uh...Mr. Pei, I understand everything you said. But I still feel that I have to be responsible for the game and mobile phone business at the same time, and I am a little overwhelmed..."
p>Pei Qian shook his head: "You underestimate yourself."
"For everyone who wants to grow from an ordinary leader to an excellent leader, this is It’s a necessary stage.”
“Besides, the mobile phone business won’t let you work alone. I’ll find a way to help you.Wouldn't it be great if you had a helper, and you handed over all the specific business to him, and you were only responsible for making the decisions? ”
“Tengda’s current business is so complicated that I basically don’t have much control over it. Everything is developing quite well.” "
"Just be a hands-off shopkeeper like me. "
Lin Wan took this as a joke and smiled very cooperatively: "Mr. Pei, how can I compare with you. "
Pei Qian quickly raised his hand: "Don't belittle yourself, you are definitely 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, besides you, who else is suitable for the mobile phone business? ”
Pei Qian’s expression was 120% sincere.
Lin Wan was startled and suddenly felt that what Mr. Pei said made sense.
Mr. Pei has always had a big plan, and it is not unusual for him to decide to enter the mobile phone field.
Tengda’s current funds are not completely unaffordable to support a mobile phone department.
After all, judging from Mr. Pei’s intentions, this mobile phone department is going to develop slowly, and he has no intention of eating it up.
In other words, Lin Wan is really the most suitable person in Tenda Group to take over this mobile phone. People in the department.
Although Lin Wan doesn’t understand the inside story of the mobile phone industry, others don’t understand either!
Mr. Pei can indeed spend a lot of money to recruit people from other companies, but This kind of executive is very unreliable, and his loyalty is very problematic.
Even if the executive is loyal enough, it is difficult to ensure that he can understand the Tengda spirit well.
Among all the old employees of Tengda, Lin Wan is indeed the one most closely related to the mobile phone business. After all, Shenhua Group started out in the mobile phone and communications business.
As the saying goes, you have never eaten pork. I have also seen pigs run away. Even if Lin Wan doesn't know much about the mobile phone industry, he is more suitable for this job than other old Tenda employees.
Lin Wan hesitated: "Okay, Mr. Pei. , let me think about this matter carefully. However, you should continue to look for other more suitable candidates during this period. It is best to find someone more suitable than me. "
Pei Qian nodded: "Okay. ”
Lin Wan’s attitude has obviously relaxed, and it is only a matter of time before he agrees.
Pei Qian is thinking that when the time comes, he can find someone in the industry who knows a little bit about the mobile phone business to help him. If she takes action, this combination will probably bring down the mobile phone business!
But who will be the one to do it for Lin Wan?
This needs to be considered in the long term.
If you find someone who is particularly capable and takes Lin Wan away, something big will happen.
"Then, Mr. Pei, I'll call Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin over, and you can follow them. Briefly explain the general direction of horror games? Lin Wan asked.
Pei Qian quickly shook his head: "No." ”
“In the early days, youYou'd better think about it for yourself first, I don't want to limit your thinking. "
"After you have a general idea, I will make a few comments. ”
Pei Qian has very little trust in his own design ideas.
What if he suddenly thinks of an idea and suddenly becomes popular for no apparent reason? What should he do? ?
However, he can't just ignore it
Pei Qian considered letting Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin come up with an idea first, and then "give guidance" himself. It can ensure that this game can make no money to the greatest extent.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and get back to me after a while. "
Pei Qian stood up and left.
