The three of them walked out of the arch of the sacrificial hall and walked into a dark tunnel.
The further you go, the narrower the tunnel becomes, and soon it becomes the size of an ordinary corridor. Although there are corners on the road ahead from time to time, no forks in the road are ever found.
"Well... that's right." Halfway through, Uncle Good-for-nothing suddenly remembered something and said to Atobe, "Atobu, there's something I'm curious about and I'd like to ask you."
Atobe was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: A player of the level of useless Uncle Uncle still has questions to ask me?
"Ah? What's going on?" Atobe replied.
"That's it..." Uncle Good-for-nothing asked, "What type of game studio does your Ice Emperor belong to?"
"Which type?" Atobe repeated thoughtfully on the surface, but in fact he was thinking in his heart: Are game studios still divided into types?
Obviously...it's divided.
Roughly speaking, there are roughly four categories of game studios.
The first type is "comprehensive". Many of these studios are large enterprises with large scale, strong financial resources and many stars. Their business scope has long exceeded the game field. They can guarantee profits by relying on their brand effect alone.
The second type is "talent-based". The scale of these studios ranges from small to large. The basic concept is people-oriented, with the core concept of cultivating outstanding star players, and obtaining considerable income by exporting talents.
The third type is "commercial type". This is a relatively marginal type. Not everyone is capable of doing it, but those who do it well do make a lot of money. This type of studio has no regard for the gaming capabilities of its employees.
Very high requirements. What they need are players who are patient, good at observation and analysis, and have excellent social skills. They treat the game as a shopping mall and make a fortune by speculating on virtual items, controlling prices, and buying and selling information.
It's a different approach.
The fourth type is the "practical type". Small and medium-sized studios usually fall into this category. Their main business is the most basic part of the industry-training on behalf of (or leading) and making gold. Basically
It is a menial job that is not very glamorous and pleasant. After a long time, it becomes a mechanized operation, which makes people feel hard and boring. Moreover... in this industry, you have to endure all kinds of abuse and accusations, because their way of playing is purely for the pursuit of efficiency.
, so it often ruins the game experience of other players. Even if it is called a "locust", it cannot be refuted.
The above information can be regarded as relatively basic knowledge. In 2055, if you want to engage in the game industry, whether you are a player or open your own studio, this content must be mastered. If you don’t even understand the basic positioning,
Then entering the industry is undoubtedly a trap for yourself.
Seeing this, everyone must have vaguely felt it... That's right. Young Master Atobe, or rather... Jin Fugui, jumped into the trend of the game industry without knowing anything.
Fortunately... his family background is quite prosperous, which allows him to make some mistakes.
Jin Fugui’s father has been in business for many years and is a sensible man. He thinks very openly: If his son wants to make a game studio, let him do it. After all, it is a legal industry and the investment required is not high. Even if nothing can be done,
You can't lose much money if you have a good reputation. Anyway...it's better than living at home after graduating from college.
So Atobe started his gaming career with full enthusiasm, longing and ignorance...
"It's... that kind..." Atobe replied hesitantly, "There are relatively few people, but the strength is pretty good... that kind..."
"Oh, are you taking the elite route? That's the 'talent type'." Honghu continued, "Eh? Speaking of which... why isn't your studio's official website online yet?"
"Uh... that..." Atobe responded with a somewhat embarrassed look, "because the company has not been established for a long time... and the business in the game is relatively busy..."
In fact...if no one reminds him, he may not be able to remember to build a studio homepage in half a year...
"That's it." Honghu didn't doubt anything, he just said, "Well...it's understandable that a small studio with few manpower will have problems of one kind or another."
"Actually, it's amazing to be able to maintain normal operations." The good-for-nothing uncle continued: "I quite admire Atobe. He has already become the studio boss at a young age. He must have taken on a lot of bank loans, right? Haha...
…”
"Uh...it's...okay..." Atobe was really embarrassed to tell the fact that he was a rich second generation in this atmosphere.
"Haha... don't worry. Back then, guys like Shiva, Dao Jianxiao and others started their own businesses around the same age as you. Aren't they all now famous figures?" Honghu said with a smile, "Your studio has just started.
, there are powerful players like 'It's difficult to name' and they have great prospects." He paused, "But... since it is a talent-based studio, connections are very important, even if it is to support the appearance, you have more
The only thing is to recruit some employees. After the new employees grow up, you and the core team can be free to run the offline chores."
"Yeah, I understand..." Atobe nodded.
"Let's do this. After the script is over, let's add each other as friends. I still know some friends in the circle. Some are very capable individual professional players. I can introduce them to you." Honghu continued.
"Oh! That's a real help in times of need!" Atobe said with eyes shining, "Thank you very much."
"Haha... You're welcome..." Honghu said with a smile, "Although my friends are very talented, their qualifications are too low. They failed to apply for resumes in well-known studios, and they are not interested in those small and medium-sized 'practical' studios.
If you don't catch a cold, go to some strange small studios... just for fear of being cheated. If you are willing to take them in, it's a win-win situation."
"Well... we don't know each other very well... aren't you afraid that I am also a black-hearted boss who exploits my employees?" Atobe asked with a smile.
"It doesn't look like it." The good-for-nothing uncle took over the conversation at this time and said, "I'm pretty good at judging people. Although we haven't been in contact with each other for a long time, neither you nor the three of them are..."
The kind of person who comes out of a studio."
"Well, I think so too." Honghu continued.
"Okay... I'll just take it as a compliment," Atobe replied.
This team's nightmare book, Atobe's work really paid off, not to mention whether he could get the clearance reward in the end, at least he had other more practical gains.
"Oh, I also have something to ask you." At this time, Atobe felt that it was time to change the subject, so he said to the good-for-nothing uncle, "About you exposing the imitation soul before... At that time, your basis was really only
Is it just a gesture?"
"That's right, it's just that." Uncle Good-for-nothing replied.
Atobe said, "Where does your confidence come from..."
The good-for-nothing uncle hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Haha... Actually the reason is very simple, because I have studied the video of the peak battle many times, and I have made very detailed observations of each player's fighting style.
.Especially those subtle habitual movements, and instantaneous reactions when faced with critical situations... I watched them frame by frame."
Honghu immediately responded: "Ah...Brother Chai, you have done a good job in your homework."
"Haha... each other." Uncle Good-for-nothing laughed, "You must have studied it as much as me."
At this point, the two sharp eyes briefly touched and then separated quickly. Everything was left unsaid...
Only Atobe was watching silently, and he couldn't help but think...the two professional gamers in front of him who competed in the game in their own name have achieved this level. Looking back at himself, he is the leader of a game studio, but to
So far, I have basically been playing games with the concept of "making money by playing".
Zhen Ge, Lao Qi and Xiao Ming can have this mentality, because their job is to play games, and they do a very good job. It can be said that they have fully possessed the qualities of professional gamers. This is the only thing they can do
One thing - use your own gaming skills to support this studio.
But Atobe is different. He is the investor, decision-maker and operator of the studio. What he has to do is far from being accomplished within the game.
At this moment, Atobe suddenly realized... why his three bad friends never rehearsed scripts with him, and they always said ruthlessly, "You are so weak, please log off immediately" and the like.
In fact... it's not that they don't want to play games with their good brothers, and they definitely don't think Atobe's level is low. They just want Atobe to do what they really should do. Because they are no longer the four
They are just students cooped up in their dormitory. They are adults who have already entered society and need to rely on games to survive.
The three of them already understood the difficulty of naming, but Atobu didn't understand. He seemed to have not grown up yet...
In the final analysis... he is just "playing". He is playing with his youth and family money. The so-called "studio" is just a cover with a halo of "dream and entrepreneurship".
Let him continue to stay with his good brothers and play games all day long...
Now that he thinks about it... he is not worthy of being this "boss" at all. He rarely does the boring investigation and research work, and never formulates any detailed and long-term game plan. The studio's schedule is almost day by day.
…
"I'm such an immature idiot..." Atobe thought in his mind, "I'm neither a qualified leader... nor a qualified professional player..." He let out a long breath and looked up.
Looking at the two high-level players walking side by side with him, he said, "A real profession requires qualities like these two...otherwise there is no point in claiming to be a profession..."
He couldn't help but think of a classic movie line - nothing is easy in the adult world.
"Hey! Look over there!" Suddenly, Honghu stopped and raised the flashlight and said.
His words brought Atobe's thoughts back to the script in front of him.
The good-for-nothing uncle also put on a vigilant posture and looked intently in the direction pointed by Honghu.
But I saw... a flash of green light appeared at the far end of the corridor, and slowly approached... (To be continued...)
