Hearing the word "boring", the foreigner raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then asked: "What games do you usually like to play?"
Ren Hongfei shook his head, "I rarely play games. If I have to say, the ones I play the most should be "Super Mario" or "Contra"."
The foreigner raised his lips. Ren Hongfei's answer was unexpected, but it was reasonable.
The two games "Mario" and "Contra" can be said to represent the entire Famicom era, and electronic games in China lag behind those in Europe and the United States, so even now, these two games are not popular in China
Still very hot.
Regardless of whether it is Nintendo or Sony, the shipment volume of their genuine machines in China is very average. In other words, in the past two years, China's economic development has made some improvements, and with the help of Deep Space Company, the video game culture in China has only grown.
There has been some development.
"Have you ever played "Escape"?"
"I have played it several times." Ren Hongfei nodded, "I have a roommate who really likes this game. I have tried to play it a few times. I have to say that it is definitely a good thing to spend time in your spare time, but it is not as competitive.
Son."
"Do you think competitiveness in gaming is important?"
"Uh..." Ren Hongfei pondered, "How should I put it? I don't know much about video games, but I think that whether it is a video game or other games, if it is not competitive, it will be difficult to have a long life.
, let alone be welcomed by the broadest masses. For me, the purpose of playing games is very simple, which is to win. If a game cannot give me a strong desire to win, then I will soon lose interest in it."
Ren Hongfei became more and more willing to chat with the foreigner in front of him, because he found that after chatting for a while, his speaking level had improved a lot, and the fluentness of the conversation just now even exceeded his own expectations.
Hearing Ren Hongfei's words, the foreigner lowered his head and began to ponder. After a while, he suddenly raised his head again, facing Ren Hongfei's palm, "Hello, can you please meet me? My name is Michael Mohan."
Ren Hongfei smiled and shook Michael Mohan's hand, "Hello, Mr. Mohan, my name is Ren Hongfei, and Ren is my last name."
"Hello, Mr. Ren." After letting go of Ren Hongfei's hand, Michael Mohan asked again: "Do you think the key to a game is to improve competitiveness?"
"Yes, you have also seen this World Electronic Game Competition. The enthusiasm of the audience for this kind of competition is very high. I don't know if you have noticed that many of the spectators who came to watch the competition today are usually
None of them play games - for example, I am a living example. But the enthusiasm of many ordinary viewers is not much less than that of real players. I believe that there must be many ordinary viewers who do not usually play games. In the end, they like a certain game because of a game.
game."
Michael Mohan nodded. He had indeed felt the enthusiasm of the players this time, and had also thought about the significance of e-sports to video games, which is why he was so interested in Ren Hongfei's words.
Although Ren Hongfei claims not to know much about video games, his views on them are quite insightful.
"So, do you think e-sports will be the main outlet for video games in the future?"
“Although I know it’s a bit arbitrary to say this, that’s what I think. At the same time, I think that while developing e-sports, we should also start from the game itself. A game must be able to quickly attract ordinary players, and also be able to attract people in the electronic market.
Shine in competition.”
"you mean?"
"It's very simple, that is, it is easy to get started but difficult to advance. For example, take "Escape". This game is very popular because it is easy to get started and can kill time. However, if you want to develop further, you will encounter a bottleneck because of the
There is no difficulty in the level. Compared with skill, this game tests patience more."
"So what do you think of StarCraft?"
Ren Hongfei smiled awkwardly, "It's too difficult. I played it several times and had no clue. Judging from the addiction level of one of my roommates, it must be an excellent game, but such a game cannot attract me.
This kind of ordinary person is relatively good."
"So, the disadvantage of this game is that it's not easy enough to get started?"
"In a nutshell, this is indeed the case. Of course, in detail, the feedback is actually not good enough. For example, as a novice, after playing a game and learning something, playing another game will not allow me to learn what I learned before.
Obvious progress. Without such feedback, I would be confused as to when I need to learn to win. To put it bluntly, no matter how difficult a game is, positive feedback must be given to players in the early stage so that players can feel it immediately
Make your own progress, so it won’t be too difficult to get started.”
"Besides competitiveness, what else do you think is more important in a game?"
Ren Hongfei thought for a while and said, "I think the world view of a game is equally important. This can be seen from the operations of Deep Space Company in recent years."
"Deep Space Company? They mainly produce casual games such as "Escape" and "Smash"." Michael Mohan asked doubtfully.
"Yes, they are indeed casual games." Ren Hongfei laughed: "But even if they only have casual games, they are trying to build a relatively complete world view. Just take "Escape", every map of this game
, each character has his own story, and each story is related to each other. Deep Space even held an essay competition for this game. I have also read the award-winning novel "The End of the Great Wall"... Let's talk about "Lianliankan",
They also worked hard on every picture, trying to connect the game with other games or movies..."
Hearing Ren Hongfei's talk, Michael Mohan was surprised and asked, "Do you really not play games?"
"Rarely, I lack interest in video games."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Michael Mohan shook his head with regret and said, "What a pity, you are very talented in this area."
Ren Hongfei shrugged his shoulders: "Really? My classmates all say that I am very good at playing games, but you are the first one to say that I have a talent for games."
Michael Mohan smiled. What he wanted to say was not the talent for playing games, but the talent for game operation and development. No one stipulates that game developers must be game masters.
"Are you still in school?"
"Yes, but I will graduate in half a year." Ren Hongfei sighed and said with a smile, "I am about to face the pressure of finding a job."
"what's your major?"
"Information management and information system."
"What do you mainly study?"
Ren Hongfei held his chin and said, "The things we learn are very complicated. We have to learn all kinds of knowledge, data, information system analysis, databases and data structures, e-commerce..."
Michael Mohan nodded as he listened to the nouns reported by Ren Hongfei. What they had learned was indeed very complex.
"Actually, I came to deep space this time to find a job..."
Ren Hongfei was about to talk about finding a job when his cousin Liu Qing came over in a hurry and said, "Hongfei, you came here."
"This is my cousin." Ren Hongfei introduced Michael Mohan, and then said to Liu Qing, "I have been waiting for you upstairs for a long time, and before I could see you, I ran to the game area. You
Didn’t you say you wanted to come and play games before?”
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me where you are?" Liu Qing complained as he approached, and then looked at Michael Mohan next to him.
Just as Ren Hongfei was about to introduce Liu Qing, Michael Mohan smiled and said: "Ren, I have something else to do. I'm going to leave now. You can have fun."
"Okay, bye."
"goodbye."
After Michael Mohan left, Liu Qing asked Ren Hongfei, "Who is this foreigner?"
"Says his name is Michael Mohan."
"For what?"
"I don't know, but he seems to be very interested in games."
"Oh, those should be game enthusiasts who came to watch the game." Liu Qing looked at his watch, "It's getting late, let's rush over there, so we don't miss anything."
…
When the opening ceremony was about to begin, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu were about to get up and go to the auditorium, when Colvin suddenly arrived.
Yu Dong was a little surprised to see Colvin, but he still smiled and said, "Colvin, I haven't seen him for a few days."
"Haha, blame me, I should come visit more often."
Yu Dong looked at his watch and said, "Colvin, we are all old acquaintances. If you have anything to do, just talk to me directly. I have to attend the opening ceremony of the competition later, and the time is almost up."
Colvin smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing special. I heard that there is a TV series in Deep Space recently and we are looking for sponsorship from other brands?"
Yu Dong didn't expect Colvin's news to come out so quickly. He only talked about it with Yuliang last night. Of course, it's possible that Yuliang took the initiative to reveal it to Colvin.
However, he still pretended to be confused and said: "Other brands? Which TV series are you talking about? Colvin, I can't ask about everything in the company. Maybe you can ask other people about this kind of thing."
Colvin also couldn't figure out whether Yu Dong knew or not. After all, he also knew how busy Yu Dong was. It was just a sponsorship for a TV series, so it was normal for Yu Dong not to ask about it.
Moreover, Colvin suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. He should not approach Yu Dong directly for such a trivial matter. After all, the sponsorship had not been finalized yet, and this was just normal business behavior.
He just came over directly because he suddenly got the news and felt that he was familiar with Shenkong.
To put it bluntly, he was actually influenced by some people at the headquarters, and his mentality changed a little when looking at the relationship between the two companies.
But now it seems that Yu Dong's attitude towards them is also changing.
Thinking of this, Colvin defended himself and said: "YU, I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that we at Motorola attach great importance to Deep Space Company, and we will definitely try our best to maintain our cooperative relationship. Please
Please don’t doubt our sincerity. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just bring it up and we will try our best to correct it.”
Yu Dong looked at Colvin with a smile. In any case, Colvin had indeed done well between the two companies, and the problem between them was not because of Colvin, and he could not solve it.
"Colvin, there are some things that are tacitly understood by each other. I still say the same thing. The friendship between Deep Space and Motorola will always be determined by Motorola. The development of Motorola in recent years, whether it has anything to do with Deep Space, and how much it has.
Relationships, we have no say in this, and you need to weigh it yourself. In addition, as an ally, I would like to remind you in good faith that there is an old saying in China: Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river.
Shen also collapsed suddenly."
"Yes, yes, thank you. We will remember the help Deep Space Company has given us over the years."
This is Colvin's innermost opinion, but he doesn't believe that Motorola will decline.
Of course, that doesn't mean that Motorola will always be strong, but with their scale, there won't be any problems within thirty years. He can't imagine which company can beat Motorola in the mobile phone market.
But he definitely wouldn't say this to Yu Dong, he just kept nodding.
"Okay, the opening ceremony is about to start. Do you want to come with us?" Yu Dong stood up directly, "It's because I have something to do, otherwise since you are here, I will definitely pour you a cup of tea and let's have a good chat.
Otherwise, you can come here after the opening ceremony."
"You're welcome. My sudden visit is too abrupt. I just hope you won't be offended. Just go ahead and do your business. I won't disturb you two."
Although he did not get specific information related to the TV series, Colvin found out about Yu Dong's attitude, and this trip was not in vain. Now he needs to find some margin and figure out the sponsorship matter as soon as possible. As far as he knows
, Li Youcan, the vice president of Samsung's planning department, is also here. If Li Youcan and Yuliang are allowed to finalize the matter, it will be too late.
Of course, Motorola doesn't care about the success or failure of advertising sponsorship for a TV series, but if Samsung snatches away the sponsorship this time, it will be equivalent to showing other manufacturers the cracks between Motorola and Deep Space.
Colvin believes that it won’t be long before those manufacturers will go crazy to grab the deep space company.
No matter how the senior executives view the relationship with Deep Space, Colvin believes that Motorola should not give up on Deep Space and should tightly tie the Deep Space company to Motorola.
Shenzhen Sky actually held a part of Motorola shares earlier, but they gradually sold them off some time ago.
At that time, they didn't take it seriously. After all, they were not the only ones to be sold off by Deep Space, but also companies such as Apple, and even Amazon, which they controlled, was on the sell-off list.
But now it seems that after Shen Kong no longer holds shares in Motorola, the relationship between the two parties is not as strong as before. Maybe Shen Kong had already thought about not cooperating with Motorola at that time.
In fact, Colvin was completely overthinking it. The reason he sold Motorola's shares in the deep space was simply because he wanted to cash out before the Internet bubble and was short-selling. He never thought about severing cooperation with Motorola.
