Number One Game Designer

Chapter 274 Artistry and Commerciality

Inside the student apartment on the back street of Haifang University.

After Yu Jiashu won the lottery, people from the school came to visit their dormitory in an endless stream. After three minutes of careful discussion between Yu Jiashu and his roommate, the two decided to move out of the school.

"So why did you move out of school and live with me? Why don't I find a beautiful, lovely girl who has a good figure and will make love bentos for me?"

Yu Jiashu, who was watching the night view from the balcony, was puzzled.

"Well said, so do you have a girl?" The roommate asked unceremoniously while eating fruit and watching the live broadcast.

"...What you said makes sense." Yu Jiashu felt dejected.

On the screen, the two teams are stalemate, and the fight is inextricably linked. The roommate asked while watching the live broadcast:

"Are you going to E3 in June?"

"Of course, I'm a rich man now, and of course I want to pursue stars if I have money."

"Take me one!"

"Why bring you?"

"Because you don't have a girl?"

"...Then I'll announce it in advance on Weibo, to see if I can have a face-to-face meeting with fans or something."

After Hong Yi's koi event, Yu Jiashu officially became famous.

Just like what Hongyi advertised for this award at the beginning: Winning a lottery will change your life.

Originally, Yu Jiashu thought that after graduating, he would try his best to find a job with similar interests to his own, and then work for a few years, meet a suitable girl, take a mortgage together and slowly raise a baby, and cultivate his child's interest in games when he has time. That's pretty much it for the rest of my life.

The result is probably that he was caught off guard when he didn't expect to win the lottery. Yu Jiashu had to accept the fact that he hadn't finished his freshman year, and he was already a millionaire now, and he had a rich second-generation roommate, and there were a group of people on the Internet. Waiting for Yu Jiashu to use his 500,000 round-the-world travel package, eagerly awaiting his round-the-world travel live broadcast.

Although he hasn't graduated yet, Yu Jiashu has achieved financial freedom. His announcement to the outside world is because he hasn't graduated yet, so he will talk about traveling around the world later, and now he just wants to be the anchor of Hongyi Games. Although many people regret it, they will still order a subscription in Yu Jiashu's live broadcast room. Now Yu Jiashu can be regarded as a moderate anchor.

"Looking at the news released by Microsoft yesterday, they will have a new dungeon-type IP to open?" The roommate chatted while browsing the news.

"Looking at the trailer, it seems to be like this, but I don't know the specifics. Many people guess that the old IP may be used to install new content. After all, Hongyi is so successful now. You said they really still make old games before. Players I won't buy it."

"Speaking of Hongyi." The roommate clicked and searched Hongyi's latest news.

"Hong Yi has been very silent recently. Their latest news is the announcement of their cooperation with Ren's. This was all news three months ago."

"The calm before the storm." Yu Jiashu enthusiastically posted a message on Weibo with other players to urge the new game.

"It's okay for the family to be silent. There has been no news about them and Ren's recently, but the news said that someone took a picture of Mr. Fang and went to Japan."

"There is only one truth!" Yu Jiashu posed in the classic pose of a elementary school student who is the god of death:

"Mr. Fang went to Japan to visit the red light district and was arrested!"

...

Fang Xi, who was far away in Tokyo, sneezed a lot, then picked up the remote control to increase the temperature in the room a little bit, and then continued to play Zelda with the Nintendo Change in his hand nonchalantly. This game can be said to be Ren's signature.

Since 1998, after Lao Ren started this story line, starting from the first Ocarina of Time, this game was doomed to be a classic, and it was no surprise to Fang Xi. In 2011, Lao Ren played on the Wii After logging into "Zelda: Sword of the Sky", this series has been silent until six years later, they are now preparing to release a new machine, and finally brought out this game that can be called the king of bombs in their hands .

Fang Xi rolled on the bed, for him,

Playing such a game that makes me remember deeply is extremely satisfying as a player, but as a game producer, my heart is a little bit ready to move.

If you use movies as an example, Zelda is a standard masterwork that combines commerciality and artistry, and Hongyi has so far, except for "Portal", are all commercial movies with a clear banner. The biggest The purpose is to make money, although so far, this purpose has been accomplished fairly well.

Although "Eternal" and "Left 4 Dead" are now rated above 8 points in IGN's ratings, Fang Xi knows that these games can only be regarded as very refined commercial masterpieces in the final analysis, and there is still a long way to go before greatness, or Said that they are not of the same type as Zelda.

Left 4 Survival opened the first year of zombies in this world, and similar creations began to appear in many games. Before Fang Xi came to Tokyo, he saw a small-made game on his Honghu platform. It was about players coming outside the house. A zombie, it will constantly destroy your house, and the player has to work hard to survive a small game. The production is rough, but the idea is good. Fang Xi gave a channel recommendation, hoping to help the producer sell more.

On the other hand, Ernst has already returned to Los Angeles. He called himself two days ago and said that there are at least ten zombie movies in Hollywood at the same time. It’s easy to use——by the way, the global box office of “Left 4 Dead” is 230 million yuan a month, but according to Hongyi’s own internal documents, the cost of this movie is only less than 30 million U.S. dollars, so in the end Although the box office is not high, considering the return ratio, this is already a big profit. In Hollywood, Fang Xi already has the title of "Father of Zombies".

The game "Eternal" is also in terms of artistry... Maybe it's only about the original painting of the hero. This game also ushered in the first year of e-sports in this world. "Can you make money by playing games?" This topic has been widely discussed all over the world. For many people who just use games as entertainment, Hong Yijiang Game proposed an e-sports concept that made everyone feel novel, and the success of the event also made many game developers feel confused.

The game has an additional competitive attribute, but competition involves operations. This is a completely unfamiliar field for many companies. As far as Fang Xi knows, many people in this field are afraid of Hongyi's huge investment in the early stage. Before, because although Hongyi made money, Hongyi lost money first and then made money. But for many small companies, losing money first can make their company bankrupt, and they may not wait for the step of making money.

But those large-scale companies are beginning to move around, such as Yusanjia of the mainframe, such as some traditional sports organizations.

After Fang Xi sent Jundao Satoshi's advice, when he finished playing Zelda and picked up fruit to eat, he saw an unexpected email in his mailbox.
