The strongest game producer

Hou Rui compared his team to the national football team. If Xiao Gou heard it, he would definitely laugh at it.Although Xia Meng’s Jinghuayuan series of games did not meet the requirements of the players, they still improved each time. Otherwise, how could the players get angry with the "real hope of Huaguo Games" Red Dog, and a group of fans still ended up? support?Otherwise, why would the players turn their expectations to the Four Seasons Game Studio when Hou Rui left the Red Dog?Otherwise, why would Xiao Gou want to create momentum for the Four Seasons Game Studio?

However, as a person who truly loves the game at hand, and has escaped the turmoil that President Xia Meng had to work for the benefit of all shareholders, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, and finally realizing his true nature, Hou Rui is deeply grateful to the players for their support. Support, this time it's a dead end, if it doesn't work, it's really over.

Fortunately, the mobile game Jinghuayuan is very popular, which gave him a reassurance.

The gameplay of Jinghuayuan mobile game is still a card-collecting game.Players draw spells, summon the monsters in the Book of Mountains and Seas, and act as envoys of the Tang Dynasty to convey the goodwill of the Tang Dynasty on the sea, taste the customs of overseas countries, and collect tokens of Baihua Fairy by the way, thwarting some collusion with monsters in the court Treacherous conspiracy.

For so many years, Jinghuayuan has been unable to keep up technically, and the plot is the same as the general public in the game industry. It is a simple upgrade to fight the boss.However, such a simple plot can also make the IP of Jinghuayuan penetrate into the hearts of players. Its plot planning, character design and art skills can be imagined.In order to make up for the gap in technology, Hou Rui's cleverness in the gameplay system also made players talk about it.

The mobile game Jinghuayuan also shows their profound background in plot, art, character design, and gameplay.There is an old military adage, "If you're poor you'll have tactics," and it applies to game makers as well.The Four Seasons Game Studio probably searched through the ancient detective works, and made a mobile game developed by collecting cards, making it look like watching detective suspense animations.Players praised that the plot of Jinghuayuan mobile game does not need to be changed, it can be directly put on the screen, crushing most of the suspense and detective dramas on TV today.The mobile game Jinghuayuan has indeed started the production of animation and TV series.

When making holographic games, Hou Rui originally wanted to cautiously transfer the successful Jinghuayuan mobile game directly to the holographic platform, but Xiao Gou persuaded him.The holographic play is a sense of substitution, and "Flowers in the Mirror" is not like "Spirit War" and "Endless Survival", which is based on player confrontation. If the spread is too wide, players may not buy it.

Hou Rui considered that, needless to say, the plot of "Flowers in the Mirror", as an ancient legendary novel, must be reliable.But as an ancient legendary novel, the plot is basically known to everyone, even if it is changed, it will not be changed much.If you have to insist on a lofty theme, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.At this time, Hou Rui thought of his original intention and heart for making games. He originally just wanted to make a simple action-adventure game with a fantasy skin.He didn't think much about the plot or character design at first, he just wanted to make a Hua Guo style action-adventure game with beautiful moves and moves.As for how to put the cart before the horse in the end... Of course, it is the fault of the technical failure.

Now that we have the technology, Hou Rui and other members of the Four Seasons Game Studio think about it, why not go back to the original heart and make an action-adventure game.

Xiao Gou came over again, and shared about the linear adventure games that he was planning to do but had too many plans to do in time, such as the ancient tomb of Shenhai. Pull up the sleeves and flick the hem of the clothes, and you will become a violent man of Tang Dynasty immediately with a horizontal sword. While swinging a spell to summon monsters, Tang Dao steps forward to chop his mother. This is a good man in line with the strong national style of Datang, right? ?

A group of people in the Four Seasons Game Studio, listening to Xiao Gou's nonsense, was misled by Xiao Gou, thinking that a man from the Tang Dynasty should be a man in a long-sleeved gown and a fleshy body, and a Taoist priest from the Tang Dynasty should be a mantra in one hand and a long knife in the other.Although when playing ancient games, the protagonist can't escape using the sword, because the meaning of "sword" in ancient China is not just a weapon.But there are fairy swords, let's use the sword in Jinghuayuan, and the sword and sword will be good in the future, right?

In the end, Tang Heng Dao, which was so good, turned into Tang Mo Dao. Ordinary Mo Dao cuts horses and I cut monsters. After drinking a sip of wine and calling out Dao, a Mo Dao converges into shape in the hand, chopping landslides... As for Why do you have to struggle with landslides? Of course, it’s because linear games won’t let you run around the map. For the sake of “reality”, it’s better to collapse.

As for reading articles, you can also use the pre-downloaded landslide CG and chariot and horse CG as a buffer.Or set up a teleportation array or something, set up an array and chant a mantra, and it's almost the same after reading the article.

Xiao Gou saw that the group of game designers were so open-minded, his heart itched unbearably, and he wished to play "Flowers in the Mirror" immediately.Now hearing Hou Rui talk about "Flowers in the Mirror", Xiao Gou put his annoyance behind him and asked expectantly, "The game is almost ready? When will it be released?"

Hou Rui had no choice but to say, "You have to test it before you release it. I don't know what tradition your Red Dog has, but you don't have a beta test or a demo version, and you just release the finished product. Now they are nervously thinking about how to optimize every day, and they are thinking about it." It hurts."

"Tests can be invited." Xiao Gou said, "The Immortal Sword used to invite tests."

Hou Rui said: "The list of invitations for the test has been sent out."

Xiao Gou excitedly said, "So it's really done? Is my name on the list?"

Hou Rui was speechless: "You can play if you want, do you still need my consent?"

Xiao Gou chuckled, Hou Rui sighed: "Go, go."

Xiao Gou quickly ran to find the people from the Four Seasons Game Studio.

Seeing Xiao Gou's anxious look, Hou Rui couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

Staying in this company, maybe he will really have a second career in his career, which is better than being the involuntary president in Xia Meng back then.No, he should be rejuvenating his second career.People, it is still interesting to work hard with like-minded people.Why insist on the position of the chicken head?

Hou Rui's thoughts became more and more transparent.With a smile on his face, he returned to his studio with the enamel cup in his hand and continued to work, his smile became more benevolent.

……

Xiao Gou got his wish and "grabbed" the "qualification" to invite the test. He was so depressed that he thought that there was nothing serious about it now. He was so angry that he couldn't continue playing the game with the magic girl's round face, so he might as well play the game.

So Xiao Gou took advantage of Qiao Hong's absence, skipped work and went home, happily playing games at home.

After obtaining the special token for the test, Xiao Gou entered the page of "Mirror Flower Fate: Gentleman Kingdom".The way to enter Jinghuayuan is to leave by boat from the port of Red Dog Homeland. After entering the login page, the first thing Xiao Gou sees is Red Dog and the logo of the four seasons, and then the "Jinghuayuan" series has not changed from the beginning logo.Immediately afterwards, the game started, and the first thing Xiao Gou saw was a CG.

In CG, it is the background of Mirror Flower.In Fate of Flowers in the Mirror, Chang'e became a villain in a rare way. Because she had a gap with Fairy Baihua at the queen mother's banquet, and was provoked by Fengshen, Wu Zetian, who designed Xinyuehu to reincarnate, ordered all flowers to bloom when Fairy Baihua was in retreat. .All the flower gods had to ask because they couldn't find the Baihua fairy in charge. Only Peony saw something strange and didn't bloom, so she was demoted to Luoyang.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Emperor did not investigate carefully, and condemned Baihua Fairy and the flower gods for flattering the emperor of the world, and demoted Baihua Fairy and the flower gods to the mortal world.

While watching the CG, Xiao Gou compared it with the original work of "Flowers in the Mirror" in his memory.Naturally, the game cannot be completely consistent with the original work, and there must be some adaptations.

For example, the "Xinyue Fox" in the original book is the Heavenly Demon, who was sent down by the Heavenly Emperor to disrupt the Tang Dynasty.However, in history, although Wu Zetian killed many people in order to stabilize her position, after she succeeded to the throne at the age of 66, she was still able to "inherit Zhenguan from the top and start Kaiyuan from the bottom", which is not ambiguous in politics.The prosperous Tang Dynasty was destroyed by Tang Minghuang, not by Wu Zetian.Moreover, the appearance of Wu Zetian was enough to make the emperors of the Tang Dynasty wary of the harem, but Tang Minghuang was still addicted to wine and sex in the end, which really had nothing to do with Wu Zetian.

Xiao Gou didn't think of this passage, it was Hou Rui who told him.Hou Rui has great admiration for Wu Zetian, which was reflected in his previous series of Flowers in the Mirror.However, when "Mirror Flowers" itself described Wu Zetian, it did not completely deny it, otherwise there would be no second half of the plot of Baihua Fairy becoming an official, so it is not abrupt to change the plot slightly in the game.

This time, in Fate of Flowers in the Mirror, Xinyuehu returned to the original "stars" from the demon in the original book.She descended to earth, apparently to agree to the accusation of the Sui Dynasty royal family and disrupt the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it may not be that simple.

Xiao Gou is thinking, the CG is over.The protagonist, as a little Taoist priest, follows Wu Zetian's will to visit the legendary "gentlemen's country".

In the original work of "Flowers in the Mirror", Junzi Country is a country that expresses the author's good wishes.In the "Gentlemen's Kingdom", there are all gentlemen. In "Shan Hai Jing", "The gentleman's country is in the north, dressed in clothes and swords, and eats animals, so that two big tigers are beside him, so that people will not fight. There are lavender grass, life and death. One It is said to be in the north of the corpse of the liver elm".This "qi" refers to a god called "shebishi".Xiao Gou moved his body, and then used the ghost mode to look at the character modeling. After affirming the technical level of the Four Seasons Game Studio, he continued to guess the plot.

Maybe the boss this time is related to this god called "Shebishi"?

The people from Four Seasons Game Studio made the plot more relaxed.In the beginning, Xiao Gou was able to collect information about the world at the port, and got help from his teachers and colleagues.This is like a tutorial for beginners, Xiao Gou is familiar with the fighting and spell system.

In this game, although the player is a Taoist priest who can use Taoism, this division seems to be a bit biased.Xiao Gou’s masters told Xiao Gou how to use spells, first summon a monster, then add a buff to his Mo Dao, and then add a buff to himself. You shout "666" next to you.

Of course, the reason why the protagonist is the protagonist is probably because he is the only "normal person" in the Taoist temple.Taoist priests like him are really not like Taoist priests. Taoist priests should let contract monsters fight in the front, and add buffs in the back to cast spells.

This is quite in line with Xiao Gou's appetite, he just likes yin people.But judging from what he often peeped at the Jinghuayuan project team, this protagonist seems to be the most reckless one.

However, because of the protagonist's thin-looking body, suave appearance, and complaints in his heart, the players have been implanted with the psychological hint of "this is a sinister B and a cowardly B".Xiao Gou couldn't help but smirk.He is looking forward to the depression in the hearts of the players when the protagonist reveals his true nature.

After the novice tutorial, the protagonist boards a boat and encounters a sea monster.The protagonist summons the contracted monsters obtained in the novice tutorial, and lets the contracted monsters fight sea monsters. He and everyone on board repair the damaged parts of the ship in the stormy waves, and work together to overcome the difficulties of the stormy waves.

All tasks here are time-limited tasks. Although they are not difficult, they need a little thinking.Looking at the small game session that Hou Rui and his subordinates are good at, Xiao Gou completed the test with ease, and the whole crew worked together to overcome the difficulty, and the sea monster also retreated.The last CG is quite exciting, and it feels like a survivor after a catastrophe, which makes Xiao Gou feel a sense of accomplishment.

After Xiao Gou played here, he had already commented on the quality of the entire game.No matter in terms of modeling or action design, as well as the environmental scene design of the "shipwreck", Four Seasons Game Studio has submitted a good answer.From a technical standpoint, the game is fine.Next, it depends on whether the plot is reduced.

However, with Hou Rui's control over the plots of the Flower in the Mirror series, the possibility of reducing points is very small.

Xiao Gou wanted to continue playing, but Qiao Hong came home and snatched him out of the game room.

Xiao Gou, who skipped work, looked at Qiao Hong with a heartless smile, without any guilt or uneasiness.Qiao Hong didn't expect him to feel guilty about skipping work, but asked, "I heard you made Zhang Tan and Wu Haoyu cry?"

Xiao Gou said innocently: "No, at least the two of them didn't cry."

Qiao Hong frowned: "Is it really that bad?"

"It's a bit of nonsense, but I got scolded, and I think they can change it. They can't change it. I take back this proposition and just change it." Xiao Gou patted Qiao Hong's shoulder and said, "Are you worried about this? "

Qiao Hong said: "Just to care, so you don't put too much pressure on them. What I want to talk about is not this matter. I will go with you to the World Games this year, and I will discuss a project halfway through."

Xiao Gou thought for a while, then sighed: "Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's time for the World Games again... The project you are going to talk about is the copyright of Gotham?"

Qiao Hong said: "The background is a game in the United States, or it is better for a US company to adapt it into a film and television drama, which is more in line with their market requirements. But they want to directly obtain the copyright instead of cooperating with us. This needs to be discussed."

Xiao Gou frowned: "So stubborn? Just want the copyright? How much?"

Qiao Hong said: "Not much, but give us a share. It's just that they need the initiative. The other party has contacts and channels in the United States. If we want to enter the American film and television market, it is best to cooperate with them."

Xiao Gou thought for a while, and said: "Probably the other party thinks that our copyright adaptation is for the promotion of the game, and for money, and the dominance is not important."

Qiao Hong raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that actually the case?"

Xiao Gou muttered: "But what if they ruin the movie?"

Qiao Hong said: "This is what I need to talk about."

Xiao Gou nodded: "Talk about it, if it really doesn't work, just give them a few years of copyright, and sign a gambling agreement or something."

It's not that Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong don't want Ji Lei to continue filming, but Ji Lei doesn't have a distribution channel in the United States, so it's more convenient to hand it over to the American film and television company.

As for the money, as long as they don’t lose money, Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong don’t plan to make much money from it, but if the filming goes wrong and the reputation of the series is lost, it will be very depressing.

"You still have a series of superhero games in the future. Judging from the other party's appearance, it seems that you want to open your mouth and take away all copyrights in one go." Qiao Hong said this, with a sarcastic expression on his face, "I want to see , What kind of price can they give, to buy out all future superheroes. If the sincerity is not high enough, this is a feud."

Xiao Gou was whimsical: "Can't we start a film and television company by ourselves? Go to the United States and buy one?"

Qiao Hong knocked Xiao Gou on the head: "Not to mention whether our current money can buy a film and television company with distribution channels, but if we buy it, where do you find someone to manage the company for you? Are you going to buy it?" How long did it take to help the company grow? You're so confident in your superhero franchise?"

Xiao Gou originally wanted to say that he was confident, but thinking about his world, where there were quite a few superhero series movies hitting the street, he swallowed his arrogant words.

"Okay, let's go and see their price tag." Xiao Gou said gloomily, "I hope it's not a wash for us to play."

Qiao Hong said: "With Red Dog's current momentum, I don't think it will be possible."

……

Soon, Qiao Hong and Xiao Gou boarded the plane for the death fair again.

This time the World Tour will be held in North Asia, Qiao Hong and Xiao Gou can also get a glimpse of the tough life of the Maozi.Xiao Gou really wanted to see a Maozi walking a bear. Obviously, it was not common for Maozi to make news, so he regretted not seeing it.

Before the World Games, at the banquet with representatives of other game manufacturers, which was read as "friendship interaction" and written as "human relationship", representative You Maozi was very happy with Xiao Gou's heroic praise of his countrymen, and said that he could be invited to visit the bear farm.

Xiao Gou was eager to try, Qiao Hong calculated his itinerary, and after seeing if there was any free time, he nodded in agreement.

He didn't dare to let Xiao Gou go alone, sometimes Xiao Gou's head would twitch, and he really didn't know what he would do.

During the social gathering, Qiao Hong met the president of a film and television company in the United States who should not have appeared at the World Games.The other party came forward in person, so it can be seen that it is indeed not a red dog.

The president named Tom shook hands and hugged Qiao Hong very enthusiastically, and even gave him a close kiss. Xiao Gou looked at Tom with shocked and defensive eyes.

Tom laughed loudly: "It's just etiquette, Xiao, I don't intend to rob you."

Xiao Gou thought, grab a fart, as if you can grab it, I just don't want to see you take advantage of my big Joe!You foreigners are so bad!Relying on his open shit etiquette, he actually did something to take advantage of!Usually, a handshake is enough, but you still need to hug and kiss. Why haven't I heard that this has become an official etiquette in the United States?Do you think you know Da Qiao very well!

Tom is indeed interested in Qiao Hong's face and figure, and he is indeed gay.But he knew that Qiao Hong was not a starlet that he could enjoy with his fingers, so he was just taking advantage of etiquette.

Oh no, it means being close.Such a good-looking man, it was a pleasure to work with him.

If it was Qiao Hong, the irritable rich second generation in the past, whoever Tom or Jerry is, he would just punch him. Anyway, he is an ignorant rich second generation, and Honghu is not afraid of any film and television companies.

But now he has begun to ignore this kind of "closeness" that does not count as crossing the line.When dealing with foreigners, he has no backing, so he can only do things at every step, and endure as he should.Of course, if the other party is too much, it is not too much trouble to change partners.

But Qiao Hong looked at Xiao Gouwei's expression, and he was still very upset.

Xiao Gou not only maintained his expression, but also his words: "Of course I'm not afraid of you robbing people, but my Da Qiao is famous for her beauty in Huaguo, and that star can't compare with my Da Qiao. You also know that there are many people in Huaguo, and there are also many nobles. It is difficult for me to defeat thousands of troops to get Da Qiao's favor. So I have become accustomed to watching all the people who are peeping at my Da Qiao's beauty with my corns. Not even appreciation."

Xiao Gou made a pair of corns: "That's the look. After all, I can't be rude, so I can only divert the attention of these people."

Tom was amused by Xiao Gou's strange expression: "It can be seen that you really love Da Qiao."

Listening to Tom's fluent Chinese, Xiao Gou climbed up the pole and began to use his Chinese score of 120 in the college entrance examination. He tried his best to praise Qiao Hong in all directions, bragging how happy he was, and Tom's smile froze on his face.

Although it's the stage of greeting, isn't it a bit strange that you can't stop praising your partner?Tom thought that among his business partners, there were those who praised their pets, their children, their wives...well, there were also those who showed off their new wives' youthful beauty, so it was considered normal for Xiao Gou to do this.

Xiao Gou once again exerted his powerful talent to divert the topic, and soon became familiar with Tom and became one-sided friends.If it weren't for the fact that business cooperation has not yet begun to be negotiated, Tom would have thought that he and Red Dog were mature and tacit business partners, and he and Xiao Gou had really become good friends.

He secretly glanced at Qiao Hong, who was smiling and silent beside him, and suddenly understood why Qiao Hong insisted on bringing Xiao Gou this time.

Before, he used his own experience to let Qiao Hong fall into his own pace. Although Qiao Hong was holding on to the bottom line of the negotiation, he knew that Qiao Hong had lost his rhythm, and began to think that what he gave was actually a little weak. condition.

After all, his company is one of the best partners that Red Dog, a game company that has no connections in the American film and television industry, can find.Qiao Hong will not give up the business negotiation with himself easily.

But now that Xiao Gou appeared, he blocked everything he wanted to say, and he didn't know how to turn the topic back. He originally wanted to continue to show off the strength of his company, implying that Red Dog is popular in China, but not necessarily in the United States. , continue to suppress the red dog.

This is the case with business negotiations. It has nothing to do with good or evil. It is just an exchange of interests. There is always one party who compromises more.No one wants to be the one who compromises the most.

But he can't interrupt Xiao Gou's words directly and abruptly, can he?I could only continue to listen to Xiao Gou's eloquence, turning the chatting and verbal confrontation before meals into Da Qiao.
