Top game producer

"To the Moon" broke 100,000 sales yesterday. Its excellent game quality and overwhelming player reputation naturally attracted the attention of game media, leading to reviews and even an interview request with Wang Jian, the producer.

However, Wang Jian's publicly available contact information is his Weibo account. He usually posts game-related updates but doesn't check it often, only occasionally taking the time to browse and reply to fan messages.

Since the game media didn't receive a response to their private messages, they contacted Bai Li'ao through the "To the Moon" game group.

Bai Li'ao scrolled through his phone, pointing out to Wang Jian one by one, "Besides Amusement Park, I haven't heard of the others."

Wang Jian looked at the chat log, his eyes lighting up with surprise, "Forget the others, but we definitely have to agree to an interview with Amusement Park. This is a great opportunity to expand the popularity of 'To the Moon' and our Dragon Abyss!"

Amusement Park is one of the most well-known game media outlets, with millions of followers on various platforms and a huge influence among players.

A famous characteristic of theirs is that all employees have an animal-related code name and image.

Amusement Park's willingness to interview Wang Jian also indirectly shows the excellent quality of "To the Moon."

Once the interview is released, some players who didn't know about "To the Moon" or weren't interested in it might buy the game, and then the game's sales will usher in another wave of growth.

Having received authorization, Bai Li'ao sent Wang Jian's phone number over.

After receiving the message, they called Wang Jian almost immediately.

"Hello."

A sweet female voice said, "Hello, is this Wang Jian, the producer of 'To the Moon'?"

Wang Jian couldn't help but glance at Bai Li'ao, eliciting an innocent look from him, "Yes, is this Amusement Park?"

"Yes, yes, I'm Little Rabbit, a reporter from Amusement Park. 'To the Moon' is a very touching game with an excellent reputation. Amusement Park plans to interview you and ask some game-related questions. Is that okay? It won't take long."

Wang Jian said, "Sure, that's fine."

Little Rabbit: "When would it be convenient for you to be interviewed? Let's discuss the interview time."

Now is the rising sales period of "To the Moon." With a large game media like Amusement Park willing to interview, wouldn't it be better to do it sooner rather than later?

Wang Jian hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell the reporter that they were taking a two-week vacation tomorrow.

Forget it, what does the employee's vacation have to do with me, this ruthless game-making machine?

Thinking this way, he casually said, "I don't have any vacation coming up, so anytime is fine."

Little Rabbit was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Or should we wait until your vacation is over to interview you?"

Wang Jian was a little embarrassed: "Don't worry about it."

Little Rabbit said: "...Um, Dragon Abyss Studio is in the Amethyst Building in Shunze, right? Amusement Park is in Guanhai, which is pretty close. If it's convenient for you, our team can come interview you today, and it won't interfere with your upcoming vacation."

To contact Wang Jian, Little Rabbit searched for his previous Weibo posts. From the original recruitment ad, she learned the address of Dragon Abyss.

In fact, she also tried sending emails to the recruitment email address, hoping to contact Wang Jian in this way, but it didn't work.

Wang Jian was a little surprised: "It's really close, then okay."

Guanhai City and Shunze City are about a two-hour drive away.

Little Rabbit was also very decisive: "Okay, then we'll head over now and contact you when we arrive."

...

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Little Rabbit had called him earlier, saying that they had arrived.

Wang Jian heard footsteps and looked towards the door.

A girl wearing a cute bunny hat with a pair of pink, long ears waved her hand: "Hello!"

Behind her was a photographer wearing a giraffe hat, carrying photography equipment.

As expected of the Amusement Park style, everyone in the studio was attracted by their appearance.

Wang Jian: "Hello, please come in!"

The girl in the bunny hat showed a sweet smile and introduced herself: "You must be Wang Jian, the producer of 'To the Moon'? I'm Little Rabbit, a reporter."

She pointed to the photographer in the giraffe hat behind her: "This is Photographer Little Deer."

Wang Jian shook hands with both of them: "Welcome, welcome. Shall we start now?"

He was a little surprised. This interview even came with a cameraman. The treatment is very high.

Little Deer said: "Mr. Wang Jian, the light here is a bit bright. Is there a conference room or something?"

So, they moved to the conference room. Little Deer busied himself, adjusting the appropriate shooting angles, lighting, background, and seats.

After asking Wang Jian, Little Deer took the Nai Xi figure over and placed it on the conference table with a few books to fill the space.

He also asked Wang Jian to hold Black Rice in his arms, saying that it would be more interesting to film this way.

I have to say, after his adjustments, the background really had a bit of an interview feel.

Little Rabbit chatted with Wang Jian for a while: "My colleagues and I really like 'To the Moon'... What else is there? Otter, elephant, pig, hundreds of species, without repeating any, it's very lively during meal times..."

She showed Wang Jian the interview outline: "Are there any problems? Do you need to prepare your answers?"

Wang Jian looked at Little Rabbit's interview outline, which contained very normal questions: "No need."

"Then shall we begin?"

"Okay."

Little Deer gave an "ok" sign. Little Rabbit waved at the camera with a friendly smile and said: "Hello everyone, love life, love games, I am Little Rabbit, a reporter from Amusement Park."

Wang Jian scratched the back of Black Rice's neck and smiled at the camera: "I am Wang Jian, the producer of 'To the Moon'."

Black Rice squinted comfortably, his body trembling with the massage, his tail swinging back and forth.

Little Rabbit said: "Some of you may have played 'To the Moon', and some may not have played it but have heard of it. Little Rabbit will give a brief introduction. 'To the Moon' has surpassed 100,000 sales in two weeks since its release - and unbelievably, the game's player rating has consistently remained at 9.9 points, an extremely high score close to a perfect score."

"These are the two player comments with the most likes:\n'This is a garbage game because you can't see the screen through your tears.'\n'"To the Moon" is the best game I've ever played in my life!'"

Wang Jian cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your love."

Little Rabbit asked: "'To the Moon' tells the story of two doctors who modify memories to fulfill the wishes of a terminally ill old man.

Fulfilling wishes is a very common theme, but combining it with memory modification instantly makes it refreshing.

Can you talk about how the inspiration for this game came about?"

Wang Jian gently stroked Black Rice, combining his personal experiences with the game's narrative: "When I was in middle school, my grandmother became seriously ill, and my mother took me to the hospital to visit her. The atmosphere there felt very oppressive.

I have always liked to read books quietly by myself and think about many things.

Seeing my grandmother's weak appearance, I was worried, but I was also thinking, everyone will face birth, old age, illness, and death. If one day in the future, I am so old that I can't even see who anyone is, and I don't recognize anyone, how will I look back on my life?

And in my life, are there things I wanted to do but didn't have the chance to complete, or things that once caused me endless regrets?"

Little Rabbit nodded: "Witnessing the serious illness of a loved one deeply touched you."
