Chapter 218: Kidnapping the King of Games and Living an Unjust Life
"Exceptional invitation! Victory in the first battle!"
"Breaking news! Golden Wind wins the GDC 'Most Anticipated Game' award!"
"The Most Anticipated Game Award! Escape is well-deserved!"
"The first time the Chinese gaming circle won an award! It was the one who made history!"
"Winning the international award as expected! Leading the flagship game with amazing skills!"
"..."
Two days later!
GDC closes.
With its outstanding game performance and stunning two-player cooperative gameplay, Escape unsurprisingly won the "Most Anticipated Game" award at this year's GDC.
Although two days ago, when Escape made his debut at the conference and shocked everyone with his skills, this award was basically guaranteed.
But when Gu Sheng, as the representative of the Golden Wind, firmly received the certificate from the organizing committee, the media players were still excited about it!
Especially the players in the domestic gaming circle are extremely excited and excited!
The first international conference award!
Although, this award is far less important than some internationally renowned game selection awards such as Golden Controller, TGA, GIGA, etc.
But it is also a big step for Chinese game manufacturers to win international awards from scratch!
For a time, Golden Wind seemed to be a dark horse from China.
Moreover, due to the previous foreshadowing of the two games Titanfall and To the Moon, coupled with Escape's brilliant record of defeating Silent Hill.
Many media outlets generally have high hopes for the final quality of "Escape".
Some media outlets have even boldly started to brag about it, and are not afraid that the finished product of "Golden Wind" will overturn.
As for the players, there is naturally a voice of expectation——
‘The little yellow guy is awesome, he’s a real blockbuster’
‘But this game format is not easy to learn, and ordinary manufacturers can’t do it’
‘Indeed, it is no longer as simple as a simple gameplay innovation, but also includes more artistic understanding, which is as difficult to copy as the script of going to the moon.’
‘Oh, what a pity, we have to require two people to play, which is a killer for me, who is a social person’
‘There is no good way to do this, it can only be said to be a concession for the sake of gameplay, and it seems that communication between players during the game is also essential’
‘The configuration requirements are too high, you actually need a friend (funny)’
‘This should be the most demanding game among the games produced by Golden Wind (Dog Head)’
'But according to the character of the old thief, if this game is successful, games of this type should continue to be released in the future, and there will always be single-player games.'
‘I just want to know when they will release this work’
'I stopped him just when he was about to escape from prison. The old thief is so cruel!'
'And it is said that the demonstration is just to show the basic gameplay and effects, and the real thrills are behind it...'
'On the third day of playing without escaping, I miss it...'
…
Bada.
With a soft sound, Gu Sheng put the crystal certificate into the office cabinet and nodded.
"Hey - beautiful, one more!"
"So...what is this..."
Behind him, Shen Miaomiao's tone was a little frightened.
I saw that the cabinet in the conspicuous place against the wall of Gu Sheng's office was obviously newly built. The outer frame was made of black walnut wood and the cabinet was made of explosion-proof glass. It was worth a lot at first glance.
The grids are horizontal and vertical, and most of them are empty.
Only a few grids contain items.
Such as the Supernova Trophy of Yiyou Mini Game Festival, the Best Rising Star Manufacturer of China Entertainment Exhibition, the Golden Crown of the Asian Games, and the GDC Most Anticipated Game Award Certificate that I just received.
"As you can see,"
After closing the glass cabinet, Gu Sheng sat on his boss's chair and stretched out his hand to Shen Miaomiao:
"My latest award-winning display cabinet. From now on, domestic and foreign awards, big and small, will be included in this cabinet, just like a stamp collection."
Gu Sheng knew that if he wanted to become the king of games, it would not be enough just to achieve one profitable project after another.
Xundo is also profitable, can it be called the king of games?
Of course not.
If you want to become the true king of games, in addition to making profits, you also need industry recognition.
And those awards are a symbol of industry recognition.
GDC is just the beginning. In the future, Golden Wind will also attack one award after another.
A live demonstration of Escape has opened the door to the global gaming arena for them.
Next, Golden Wind will embark on the road to be crowned the king of the world's games.
"When will the display cabinets be filled up?"
Gu Sheng said:
"Golden Wind will become the world's only gaming company."
My old swan!
After hearing this, Shen Miaomiao felt trembling in her heart.
So many grids!
Who knows how many more subversive works Lao Gu will produce in the future!
Then isn’t it that I am getting further and further away from losing money, and the freedom of yachting is far away?
But think again!
Not necessarily.
As the saying goes, "Whose child cries every day, how can there be a dog who loses every day?"
It’s a good thing that Gu Sheng wants to become the king of games!
Because if you want to build a super gaming empire that stands on top of the world, you need to accumulate one work after another.
And she, Shen Miaomiao!
Equipped with a loss rebate system.
All you need to do is find the right opportunity to pick out two or three waves of wool among the countless works, and you will suddenly become rich.
It might be eye-catching to see three out of ten games lose money.
But losing three out of a hundred games seems insignificant, and it does not affect this company's position on the top of the world and its crowning as the king of games.
She shouldn't worry about Gu Sheng's ideals.
On the contrary, she should be grateful that Lao Gu's goal was so ambitious.
Because as she works more and more, the probability of losing money will become greater and greater.
Think of this!
Shen Miaomiao was relieved and even a little happy.
Hey hey! What is this called?
This is called 'tying up the king of games and punishing the wronged...'
No, no! Cross it out!
This is called 'The king of the tie-up game! Enjoy the life of the richest man!'
Um!
The life of the richest man!
This is right!
"Very good! Mr. Gu is so talented! He will have great achievements in the future!"
Shen Miaomiao walked to the sofa with square steps and sat down, applauding slowly, with a mature and affirmative look:
"Old Shen will be very pleased to know your ideal."
"Oh, Uncle Shen knows," Gu Sheng smiled: "Your father gave me this cabinet."
Shen Miaomiao:......
You thief! Give me back my father!
Damn it! Lao Shen never gave me anything like this! It seemed that he had no career expectations for me at all!
On the contrary, it was towards Gu Sheng!
Lao Shen would teach him by words and deeds whenever he had time.
Let’s talk about how to choose between advancement and retreat in the business world. A loss may not necessarily be a loss, and a profit may not necessarily be a profit.
When it comes to life choices, don’t hesitate or miss good opportunities. There is no right or wrong choice. As long as you have a clear conscience, don’t regret it.
Lao Shen even used his own previous personal experience as an example to tell Lao Gu what to do when and how.
Every time Shen Miaomiao went home, she felt like she was a buy-one-get-one-free boss. She was Gu Sheng's official driver, specially driving for him when he was drunk!
Am I your biological child?
Rolling her eyes, Shen Miaomiao felt lucky and snorted angrily:
"Hmph... let's get down to business!"
"What's the matter?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect to hear this rare word in little Nezha's mouth, and raised his eyebrows:
“The claw machine has new lollipop flavors?”
"...That's just one of the things." Shen Miaomiao replied.
Seeing Gu Sheng's expression of "I fucking knew it", he continued:
"But there's another thing besides that!"
"What else?" Gu Sheng sighed softly, holding his cheek and asked.
"Yuki and Sato want to introduce some former colleagues to the company,"
Shen Miaomiao said:
"But... they are from Yamamoto Studio, so I want to ask for your opinion."
good!
As the battle between "Silent Hill" and "Escape" has settled, Comora is defeated!
Today, Yamamoto Studio has been delisted and reorganized.
The latest studio to replace Yamamoto Tsuna and become the new Gosan Family studio is called Nishikawa Studio, and its director is Nishikawa Jiro.
As I said before, there are many studios owned by Comella.
Now that Nishikawa has come to power, he has his own original team.
All he had to do was to expand his manpower based on his original studio.
It is impossible to fully accept Yamamoto Studio.
But this means that many members of the original Yamamoto Studio are facing reassignment.
Don’t look at these studios as they all belong to the same company, Comella!
But for these employees who have been diverted, changing studios is no less than quitting and re-employing!
Work mode, work style, work rhythm, work results, etc... all need to be adapted again!
Ever since!
Some employees who had participated in PT production or heard about the reputation of "Gu Sang" at that time started to think about it and became fascinated by the golden wind.
Since changing studios requires readjustment, it is basically the same as quitting your job and finding a new job.
Then why don't we just do it for real, say goodbye to Comella and join the Golden Wind?
"...But after all, they came out of Yamamoto Studio, and Yamamoto Studio had a fierce fight with us before,"
Shen Miaomiao said:
"So they are a little worried, worried that you will feel resentful and unwilling to accept them."
"Rebellious Ninja."
Hear the words!
Gu Sheng gave a precise definition.
Then he asked: "How many people are there?"
Shen Miaomiao pinched her fingers: "Seven."
Good guy!
Gu Sheng almost laughed out loud.
The seven traitorous ninjas.
Gu Sheng put his hand on his forehead and thought for a moment.
There is no such thing as a grudge.
Originally, the Seven Rebel Ninjas belonged to Yamamoto Studio, employees of the Comella Group.
There is nothing wrong with everyone being his own master and performing his duties.
Moreover, from beginning to end, he never regarded Yamamoto Studio as his life-or-death enemy.
Now that the seven people have rebelled against Comella, for him, it is actually the same as Yuki and Sato back then.
They are all made by veterans. It is difficult to find such people in the market. Now that they are actively offering to join the Golden Wind, it is naturally a good thing.
What he was considering was the arrangement after the seven rebel ninjas joined the Golden Wind.
now!
Golden Wind has only one project department.
Not counting him, the iron triangle of Lao Lu and Da Jiang.
The first batch recruited 16 people, and then 2 more people were recruited, making a total of 18 people.
This scale will be enough for the current Golden Wind...
After all, the company's consistent policy is to 'control the core and supplement it with outsourcing'.
So although 18 people is not too many, it is still enough for the development of a game project.
but.
As Golden Wind’s reputation becomes more and more famous, it has even begun to enter the international stage, and it is about to join the ‘billion club’ to become a medium-sized game company.
The company's business scale should also be appropriately upgraded.
Otherwise, if there is only a group of studios that always run on a single core, they will only be able to reach the top of the world in a matter of years.
Gu Sheng had been thinking about a second expansion of enrollment before.
Not much to say.
Recruit ten or eight more good players to set up a second group of studios, and then we can start to expand the dual-core mode and allow multiple lines of game development to occur in parallel.
However, before he could propose to Little Nezha, Comella gave him a group of seven rebels due to the influence of the golden dump truck.
"I think it's pretty good,"
Gu Sheng thought for a moment, nodded with a smile, and looked at Little Nezha:
"What do you think?"
"I think……"
Shen Miaomiao shrugged.
She was a little hesitant about accepting the seven rebel ninjas.
Not that I doubt their loyalty.
Lao Shen once taught her: There is no eternal loyalty in business, only eternal interests.
Her main worry is that these people are too experienced. After all, they are employees of Yu Sanjia's studio before. They are all skilled professionals, and they all have two brushes.
But the problem is that she also wants to expand the company's scale, increase the development speed of game projects, and run multiple lines in parallel.
Because only in this way can game projects be iterated frequently and her chances of losing money will increase.
Think about it carefully!
Shen Miaomiao finally nodded:
"If you think it's okay, I have no objection. The company will always develop, and our scale will become larger and larger in the future,"
"Didn't Xun Teng have three generals? Comella also had three imperial families."
"Now, even if we take in the seven rebel ninjas, we only have two studios,"
"There is still a long way to go."
There will be more and more opportunities for me to lose money.
Shen Miaomiao added in her heart.
Of course, Gu Sheng didn't hear the OS in her heart, and couldn't help but make a positive expression: "Mr. Shen, you have a very high ideological consciousness!"
"Of course!" Shen Miaomiao raised her head and wanted to laugh.
Did you see that he still has to thank us?
"Let's go!" Gu Sheng waved and stood up.
Shen Miaomiao didn't know why: "Let's go? Why are we going?"
"Catch lollipops?" Gu Sheng said, "Didn't the claw machine have new flavors of lollipops?"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao was stunned.
Then he laughed.
Smile very sweetly.
That's what Lao Gu is like.
Although he works with no distractions and is serious and focused, it seems that work is the main theme of his life and his greatest pursuit in life.
But he will never forget his little wish.
Even a new flavored lollipop is as important to him as his career.
"Walk!"
Shen Miaomiao jumped up happily, like a lively deer, and followed Gu Sheng's footsteps:
"Go grab the lollipop!"
Golden Wind opens a second studio!
For players, this does not seem to be big news. Compared with this, players are more concerned about when "Escape" will be launched.
But for those within the gaming circle!
This news is extremely explosive, even comparable to when Comella kicked Gu Sheng away to monopolize the project!
Ever since, in just half a day, a post on the [China Game Developers Forum] occupied the first place in the popularity list of the entire site——
