Lin Wan was a little curious: "What tasks did Mr. Pei arrange for you?"
Wang Xiaobin said blankly: "Mr. Pei asked me to take half of the manpower of Yangyang Games to be responsible for those old games. Make a new version..."
"I don't understand. Is it more appropriate to leave this task to Ye Zhizhou? I am a numerical planner, and developing functions is not my strong point!"
" Moreover, the decision is still made by guessing, which is too..."
Lin Wan frowned slightly and thought carefully for a moment.
"I think Mr. Pei's guessing game should have some deep meaning."
Wang Xiaobin was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Does guessing also have a deep meaning? Is that possible? Isn't it...thinking too much?"
Lin Wan shook his head: "You are good at numerical planning, and Ye Zhizhou is good at functional design. Mr. Pei knows this very well."
"Letting you do a job that you are not good at currently is obviously to further hone your abilities."
Wang Xiaobin thought for a while: "But if Mr. Pei wants to train me, just assign the job to me directly. Isn’t that good? Why do you still have to guess?"
Lin Wan thought for a moment and said, "I think this should be an expression of attitude."
"Mr. Pei. Obviously, everyone in Tenda’s game department, no matter who they are, must be a generalist. Even if it’s guessing or lottery, any one of them must be able to do it alone.”
“And, from now on. This matter can also be seen in President Pei’s attitude towards Yangyang Games.”
“For a long time, the outside world has always had a negative view of Yangyang Games, and they feel that our status within the company is inferior. Tenda Games."
"But now, Mr. Pei has given us the task of promoting GOG international servers and the task of updating Tenda Games' DLC. Tengda Games treats everyone equally."
"So we must not live up to Mr. Pei's expectations!"
Wang Xiaobin nodded: "Yes, I understand!"
< p>Mr. Pei obviously took a lot of risks by making such a decision!For the average boss, letting each employee do the work they are best at is obviously the most economical and affordable approach, and the risk is the most controllable.
How can it be such a good thing to use company projects to help employees grow and practice their skills?
Some bosses ask employees to take up certain positions concurrently, euphemistically calling it "learning", but in fact they are reluctant to pay more costs to recruit professional talents.
But Mr. Pei is completely different. After providing high enough salary and benefits, he is still constantly mobilizing employees to take charge of different projects.
Obviously, doing so may lead to the failure of the project, but Mr. Pei does not care about this. This is to train all employees to be generalists, and it is a great trust in employees!
Wang Xiaobin felt that he must not live up to Mr. Pei’s trust and must make this time a success.Prepare the new version and prove yourself!

……
October 11, Tuesday.
In the taxi, Lu Zhiyao was fully equipped with sunglasses, a mask, and a peaked cap, fearing that he would be recognized by enthusiastic fans and run into unnecessary trouble.
He just arrived in Jingzhou and rushed to Feihuang Studio without even checking into the hotel.
Since "Better Tomorrow" became popular, Lu Zhiyao has completely eliminated his reputation as a "box office poison" and has also received many invitations from film crews, many of which are very expensive. .
But Lu Zhiyao didn’t answer.
If there is no script, Lu Zhiyao is worried; if there is a script, Lu Zhiyao always feels a bit uninterested after reading the script.
It doesn’t have the special feeling of “Better Tomorrow”!
There is a script, and Lu Zhiyao is quite satisfied with it, but the character design is too similar to that of "Better Tomorrow", and he is also a relatively miserable dog-licking male protagonist.
Obviously, this crew also saw Lu Zhiyao's performance in "Better Tomorrow" and felt that he was very suitable for this role, so they sent the invitation.
Lu Zhiyao does not reject this. After all, as an actor, you have to act like what you want and be dedicated.
But Lu Zhiyao felt that it had already been performed once in "Better Tomorrow", so what was the point of doing it again?
There is no breakthrough.
While filming "Better Tomorrow", Lu Zhiyao felt that his acting skills had made a leap, and he was also highly involved in the creation during the filming process. This experience was never obtained by other crews.
So, Lu Zhiyao has been hesitating.
It’s hard to get rid of the reputation of “box office poison”. If you accidentally get another bad movie, wouldn’t all your previous efforts be wasted?
Lu Zhiyao asked himself that he was not an actor who was very good at choosing scripts.
Some scripts that look good may not work out well when they are filmed. For him who is on the rise, he must be cautious.
Director Zhu Xiaoce’s call came at the perfect time.
Since it is Mr. Pei’s project, you can’t go wrong, just shoot!
Of course, you have to read the script before filming. It’s not that you don’t trust Director Zhu. The main thing is to understand what kind of story it is in advance, prepare in advance, and brew up your emotions.
"Director Zhu!"
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Zhiyao saw Director Zhu Xiaoce who was working seriously at his station.
Zhu Xiaoce was concentrating on thinking about the script. He was startled when he heard Lu Zhiyao's voice, and the documents on the computer desktop were hidden at the speed of light.
Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Zhu Xiaoce stood up and came over with a smile on his face.
"Arrived so soon? I thought it would take another hour." Zhu Xiaoce said with a smileCovering up his embarrassment, he asked someone to get some water.
Lu Zhiyao nodded: "Well, I didn't even go to the hotel, so I came here first. I'm looking forward to the new movie, so I thought I'd come over and have a chat with you, Director Zhu. Read the script, and then you can figure out the character and memorize the lines after returning to the hotel."
Zhu Xiaoce coughed twice: "Well... didn't I tell you, the script is still a little bit off."
Lu Zhiyao didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, just watch as many as you want."
Zhu Xiaoce was a little embarrassed and quickly thought about it: "Actually... I can't give you the script yet. Look."
Lu Zhiyao was stunned: "Ah? Why?"
Zhu Xiaoce said: "Because we are going to use a new way of shooting this time. The scripts are given separately, so as to avoid spoilers from disturbing you." Lu Zhiyao felt a little surprised: "Really? That sounds quite professional. It seems that this is what some American blockbusters do. "
"Not bad."
"Well, Director Zhu, can you show me the script for the first scene?"
Zhu Xiaoce said for a moment. Somewhat speechless.
I felt like a primary school student who lied and said he hadn't finished his homework. As a result, the teacher kept saying: "It's okay if I haven't finished my homework. I'll take a look at how much I've written."
In fact, not a word has been written yet!
But fortunately, Director Zhu is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, so he can completely hold this small scene.
After Lu Zhiyao took a sip of tea, Zhu Xiaoce said seriously: "That's it. Before reading the script, I prepared another way for you to figure out the protagonist's psychology."< /p>
"Here, take this with you."
Zhu Xiaoce brought a high-end gaming laptop to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao was a little confused: "?"
Zhu Xiaoce explained: "This contains "Star Ocean 2". Your next task is not to go out in the hotel. Just order takeout for three meals a day, and then play "Star Ocean 2" all the time. "
"Just play the battle. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, but there is one requirement, which is to work hard to defeat every soldier in the game. , imagine it as a real life."
"Play for three days and try to figure it out. If you have any insights, whether they are reliable or unreliable, write them down for me."
Lu Zhiyao took the game book in confusion: "But, the script..."
Zhu Xiaoce looked serious: "You can't read the script yet. After reading the script, the experience will not be accurate. , Do you understand? If you believe me, just do as I say."
Lu Zhiyao feels that this is a bit strange, but since Director Zhu is so sure, let's give it a try first.
Maybe the role you are going to perform this time is very demanding. Only in this way can you better understand the role?
Lu Zhiyao didn’t think too much. Holding the heavy game notebook in his arms, he planned to go back to the hotel to rest, and thenFollow director Zhu Xiaoce's request to figure out the character carefully.
"By the way, Director Zhu, what is the identity of the character I want to play? In what direction should I work hard?"
"I need to know this so that I can better understand the character. Psychologically, right?"
Zhu Xiaoce thought about it and seemed to be right: "Well... you are going to play a space warrior with a strong mentality this time."
"Alright. There should be no emotional fluctuations or unnecessary expressions."
"No matter what happens, your heartbeat should not fluctuate significantly."
The way. Zhiyao was stunned.
"Huh?"
"Don't have too many expressions?"
"Then my acting skills are useless?"
Zhu Xiaoce patted Lu Zhiyao on the shoulder: "This is where your acting skills are needed even more!"
"Think about the role carefully and think about how you can show superb performance without expression. Let's improve your acting skills!"
"I believe you can do it!"
Lu Zhiyao: "..."
Looked at it. Director Zhu looked at the heavy game notebook in his hand again, and Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt like he had been cheated.
......
At the same time, Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store.
Pei Qian was drinking coffee and browsing the web.
The popularity of "Struggle" has declined, but sales have not declined at all.
Pei Qian sighed silently as he looked at the various rainbow farts made by players on the Internet about "Struggle".
Originally, I wanted to see what players liked about this game and try to avoid it in future games, but it turned out that players seemed to like everything.
It’s all in vain.
This is very stiff.
"Forget it, let's just follow the guiding light, Teacher He, these players can't count on it."
Pei Qian was about to close the webpage when he suddenly saw a player message Comments, eyes light up.
“Hey, I don’t know why, but I feel a little sad when I see “Struggle” being so successful.”
“There are so many game companies in China, how many are making online games? How many companies are making stand-alone machines? ”
“How many companies can only afford to spend a small amount of money to make stand-alone machines, and how many companies are willing to spend a lot of money to make stand-alone machines? ”
“How many companies can really make a stand-alone machine well and complete it?”
“After thinking about it, I have been down-to-earth, correct my mentality, work hard on a stand-alone machine, and work hard. Very few people have invested money in it."
"Although it is a good thing that "Struggle" is so successful, we only have this one seed, and there are many companies that make stand-alone games and independent games. As a producer, the project died silently, and no one would even know about it.”
“Having Tengda is a lucky thing for domestic stand-alone games; but only.Tenda, that is the tragedy of domestic stand-alone games. ”
Seeing this comment, Pei Qian inexplicably remembered Qiu Hong’s words before.
In Pei Qian’s opinion, the development environment of domestic stand-alone games in this world has Not bad, but there are still many problems.
For domestic manufacturers without accumulation, large-scale stand-alone games require greater investment and have a higher probability of failure than online games. This is an objective fact.
Therefore, domestic manufacturers are unwilling to make stand-alone machines because it is a thankless effort.
But this makes it impossible to accumulate, and this leads to an endless cycle.
Tenda has always been successful in making stand-alone games.
But when other companies make stand-alone games, the probability of failure is very high!
Pei Qian suddenly thought of a good idea.
Since domestic stand-alone games are so easy to lose, then if I invest in these failed projects and then do not interfere with their design and let them fail freely, won’t I lose money?
