Chapter 211 It’s broken! He really became the warden!
Follow Secretary Chu to the president’s office.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw little Nezha frowning at the computer screen, as if he was looking carefully and thinking hard.
After nodding with Gu Sheng, Chu Qingzhou closed the door and left.
Gu Sheng walked into the office: "What kind of invitation do you take so seriously?"
Then he saw little Nezha turning his head with a serious look on his face:
"have no idea."
Gu Sheng almost lost his footing.
"I didn't know you took it so seriously?!"
“It’s just because I don’t know that I’m taking it seriously!”
Little Nezha, the old god, shook his head, and it was reasonable.
"Ok fine~"
Gu Sheng spread his hands and said he couldn't refute:
"Then what did you see?"
"You don't seem to be lying," Shen Miaomiao glanced at Gu Sheng: "If I see something, do I need to call you over?"
I……
Gu Sheng found that little Nezha was becoming more and more capable of choking, and he didn't know who he learned it from.
"Here, come and take a look,"
Shen Miaomiao turned the screen towards Gu Sheng and muttered to herself:
"It seems to be some kind of developer conference? But haven't we already participated in the developer conference? Isn't it held every four years? The time has been changed? China Entertainment Electronics didn't tell us either?"
Developer conference?
Gu Sheng stepped forward to check.
After a moment, he opened his mouth and said:
"Because this matter...is not under the control of China Entertainment Television."
good!
On the computer screen, it was an invitation letter from the "Global Game Developers Conference (GDC)" jointly organized by International Data Corporation and United Enterprise Media Technology Network!
Because Golden Wind has achieved great results and outstanding achievements in the past year.
Therefore, the organizer will make an exception and invite Golden Wind to participate in this conference!
and!
[The grandeur and tragedy of Titanfall is impressive, the narrative structure of Silent Hill PT is refreshing, and the rhythm control of escape is even more amazing]
[Therefore, we sincerely invite Mr. SamGu to give us relevant analysis and lectures on "The Future Development Prospects and Shaping Methods of Cinematic Games"]
[I believe that your company’s unique game expression will definitely add color to this conference]
[At the same time, it also brings new inspiration to the upgrade and progress of global games]
[We are waiting for your reply]
——Global Game Developers Conference (GDC)
"Look, isn't this a developer conference?"
Shen Miaomiao pointed at the signature and said:
"Didn't we participate before? Why are we here again?"
Hear the words!
Then Gu Sheng chuckled: "Because they are not the same thing at all,"
“The one we participated in before was called the ‘Asian Esports Game Developers Conference’, or Asian Games for short,”
"It is an Asia-wide event, mainly aimed at the development of e-sports games,"
"But now you see this—"
Talking.
Gu Sheng pointed to the invitation letter on the computer:
"This is called the Global Game Developers Conference, or GDC for short,"
"It is a game exchange activity. It does not have the nature of a competition. Instead, it is more focused on communication and publicity."
"and--"
"This is global."
Global!
Gu Sheng embodies these three words emphatically.
Eyes sparkling!
GDC roll call invitation!
The portion is very heavy!
Gu Sheng is no stranger to GDC.
This exchange conference existed in his previous life and was usually held in Los Angeles in May and June every year. It aimed to unite the world's top game developers and manufacturers to share views and discuss industrial technology upgrades and concept innovations.
Of course, at the same time, some unique and innovative new game trailers will also be released during the conference.
Perhaps its popularity is not as exaggerated as the world’s four major game shows.
But with its professionalism, it can be regarded as one of the most influential gaming events in the world.
but.
It's different from the previous life.
In this world, GDC’s directly invited manufacturers are usually some of the world’s top game manufacturers or developers.
The organizer has requirements for the size of the company.
Judging from the current size of Golden Wind, they have not yet entered the billion-dollar club, and it seems that they cannot meet the invitation standards.
but!
With the blessing of works such as Titanfall, PT, To the Moon, and the currently popular Escape, their influence is quite outstanding!
Ever since!
GDC chose to break the rules and invite an exceptional person!
To this!
Gu Sheng was lying when he said he wasn't excited.
To know!
As of now, although Golden Wind has produced quite a few games.
However, there are not many activities that I have participated in, and most of them focus on the country.
Such as the small game festival of Yiyou and the media exhibition of China Entertainment Electronics.
The only event that can be considered a large-scale event is the Asian Games.
but!
Even for the Asian Games, the focus of its scope of influence is basically only in Asia.
And GDC is an international exchange conference!
If confirmed to participate, GDC will be the first global game exchange event that Golden Wind has ever participated in!
It is an important step for them to move from domestic to international!
and!
If they can shine in GDC and receive widespread attention from the industry and global players, they can start planning to enter the world's four major game shows!
Think of this!
Gu Sheng's mind changed rapidly and he quickly redeployed the development plan!
Originally, if there was no GDC, he was going to take advantage of the victory, give Comella a face-saving output, and teach them to write Chinese.
But now, the GDC invitation has come.
He can take advantage of this wave of opportunities to find a solid foothold in the international gaming circle.
After that, I will use GDC as a springboard to participate in the next Dongjin Game Festival. I will stand on the same arena with Comella and have a real fight with real swords and guns under the attention of the world!!!
Yes!
Although in theory, as long as you don't stretch your hips too much, you can sign up for the four major game shows in the world.
But signing up to participate was not what Gu Sheng wanted.
He didn't want to stand in the corner like a follower like that time when Huayu Electronics didn't experience it.
What he wants is an infield qualification, a formal stage, and an opportunity to show the charm of the golden style to the world!
And GDC is the pass to enter the infield!
This time, they not only have to be invited to participate, but they also have to take advantage of the situation to create an innovative project!
"...It turns out this activity is so powerful."
After listening to Gu Sheng's introduction, Shen Miaomiao suddenly realized——
This is a small step for Golden Wind, but it is also a big step towards entering the international market.
Shen Miaomiao had no objection to continuing to expand his influence and increase the company's size and popularity.
Because the size of the company increases, it means that the investment funds they can use will also increase.
At present, among the games they have produced, Titanfall is the most expensive, with a total price of 170 million, equivalent to about 25 million U.S. dollars.
And this is far from what the gaming industry calls a ‘3S-level’ masterpiece.
After all, the industry’s definition of ‘3S’ is ‘S-level cost’, ‘S-level volume’ and ‘S-level quality’.
The only S-class standard that Titanfall can meet is quality.
In other words, in terms of cost, they still have a lot of room for improvement.
As for influence, Shen Miaomiao actually didn't want it.
Because the greater the influence, the greater the player audience, and the larger the player audience, the more people will buy the game.
But there is no way.
As the company grows, its influence will definitely increase day by day, and these two items are directly proportional.
Therefore, Shen Miaomiao could only hope that Lao Gu would lose his head and do the same thing as Comella.
It is said that the first-day sales of Silent Hill were only about 50,000 copies. Good guy, even if Comera is impossible to create, it can sell 50,000 copies every day. Even if it is fully played in a week, it will only sell 350,000 copies of the game, which is 9.8 million U.S. dollars.
Compared with the cost of 67 million knives, the difference is 57.2 million knives!
If this were my project...
Tsk tsk.
I can rebate more than 40 billion.
Not to mention that my wealth will allow me to freely drive a yacht in this life. When I die, I can even burn it and bury it with seven or eight real yachts.
It’s really mouth-watering.
but!
She could only covet it. After all, the manager could not be changed, so she could only hang under Lao Gu's tree.
"Then...should we prepare a project to participate in the conference?"
Now that I have decided to participate!
It’s time to think about what game projects to prepare for the conference!
After all, Lao Gu attaches great importance to this GDC and even calls it ‘a foothold in the international market’.
Therefore, this time they not only need to attend meetings and give speeches, but also take this opportunity to launch a corresponding work.
Only in this way can this GDC trip maximize the popularity and response, and gain enough reputation for them.
So!
The choice of game theme and form is very important.
This is a new project.
Shen Miaomiao will not interfere too much and will go all out to cooperate with Lao Gu to make the project a success.
After all, only if the project is successful can she open the sub-project and enjoy the odds inherited from the main project.
【Main profit and sub-loss】
This is Shen Miaomiao's current project tactics.
"Yeah, what kind of game are you playing?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng also sat on the sofa, crossed his shoulders and frowned in thought.
Sometimes, having too many choices is a worry.
Thanks to his escape, the emotional value in his hand is relatively rich now, and he can unlock many games.
Gu Sheng had never fought such a rich battle before, and for a while he was still a little unsure of where to start.
"The future development prospects and shaping methods of movie-style games"
no doubt.
The tragic and heroic ending of Titanfall and the moving script of going to the moon and reversing it all left a deep impression on the organizers and caused quite a stir in the gaming circle.
Therefore, when they participate in GDC this time, the works they launch must be related to "movie-style games".
"A movie-style game...what should I do?"
Gu Sheng squinted his eyes and flipped through a large number of games in his mind——
Is it "The Invisible Guardian" with a sophisticated script and full of red spirit?
No, although the script of this game is good, the gameplay is shortcomings.
Is it "The Order 1886" that is presented in a 2.40:1 cinematic aspect ratio from beginning to end?
No, this game was criticized by the media for its mediocre gameplay.
What about Detroit: Become Human?
This is a good choice, both in terms of story and visual performance, it is completely a standard interactive movie.
But this art form is still too advanced for this world.
And in terms of gameplay, Detroit is not even as good as The Order 1886, which is a completely interactive movie.
Then the problem comes!
Isn't there a game that combines the artistry of a movie-style narrative with eye-catching playability?
The answer is of course yes!
That is the famous next-generation standard 3A masterpiece - "The Last of Us"!
And its sequel "The Last of Us 2: Golf Club" which can be called the ultimate psychopath! (The suffix is Gu Sheng's ridicule)
Two volumes in one bundle! It will definitely shock the world!
But my emotional value is not enough!
Haha damn you.
worry.
Gu Sheng covered his face, thought hard, and casually said to little Nezha:
"By the way, our theme this time is movie-style games. Aren't you the best at drawing inspiration from movies? Give me some inspiration?"
"Ah I?"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao shrank her neck.
My heart said please stop making things difficult for me.
I was just talking nonsense at the beginning, just to take you fishing together, but you can actually remember it until now.
But you can't say this in front of Gu Sheng!
Therefore, Shen Miaomiao could only bite the bullet and hesitate:
"Ah...ah, this...I haven't...watched many movies recently,"
"But I think...well...since our project this time is so important..."
"You can draw inspiration from some classic movies...right?"
Shen Miaomiao said carefully.
But Gu Sheng was quite interested: "What about?"
"For example...for example..."
While hesitating, Shen Miaomiao opened IMDB, a professional movie rating website.
Scroll the mouse and start scrolling down the ranking list:
"Like Lord of the Rings?"
Gu Sheng shook his head: "We still need to negotiate copyright, which is not easy to do."
"Forrest Gump?"
"Inspirational films have almost no possibility of gamification."
"boxing Club?"
"The conflict is too limited, making it difficult to form an effective game script and not suitable for developing gameplay."
"Then it really doesn't matter. The next one up is the number one movie on the site,"
Shen Miaomiao shrugged:
"The Shawshank Redemption, isn't this movie even less valuable as a game? We can't let players dig tunnels, right?"
Shen Miaomiao curled her lips, feeling that these classic movies seemed to be far from the games and did not have much reference value.
However!
The next second, I heard Gu Sheng say: "What a great idea!"
Shen Miaomiao:?
"What's a good idea?" Shen Miaomiao was a little confused: "Why is it such a good idea? You want the players to dig tunnels?"
no?
Are you really a psychopath?
Who are the protagonists of other people’s games?
Lone hero! Top player! Super driver!
The protagonist of our game is...a reform-through-labor prisoner?
What the hell is he a reform-through-labor prisoner who is holding back his desire to escape from prison?
This game design concept is too hellish, right?
Shen Miaomiao's head was filled with questions!
But one of Gu Sheng's eyes was shining brightly! (The other one was swollen)
"It's a good idea to put players in jail and let them find ways to escape!"
Gu Sheng clapped his hands repeatedly:
"Okay! Okay, okay! Great! Let's do this!"
ah???
Shen Miaomiao was stunned and trembled in her heart!
broken!
He really has become a warden!——
