Chapter 311 Mobile phone business, who do you want!
By making a horror game, can the probability of losing money be greatly increased?
Pei Qian certainly knows that there are some very successful and very profitable horror games in the world, but overall, such games are in the minority.
Only a very small number of horror games can stand out and be remembered by players, while most horror games or horror movies have disappeared into obscurity, or have been reduced to material for some complaints.
The reason for this is the same as the haunted house.
On the one hand, horror themes naturally discourage a large number of timid players or viewers;
On the other hand, if the horror theme is not done well, it can easily be made into a comedy theme.
Take horror movies as an example.
If you want to shoot something scary, you must first ensure a very high degree of realism, with high investment in scenes, props, costumes, makeup, etc.
On the basis of ensuring investment, it is also necessary to use exquisite shooting techniques and storyboards to keep the audience guessing what will happen next, and to maintain a tense spirit at all times to ensure that the audience's immersion will not be stripped away.
If non-professionals play with horror themes, it is easy to end up with the effect of a haunted house in Jingzhou, which will not please either end:
Timid tourists dare not enter, but bold tourists find it boring.
The same goes for horror games. There are very few manufacturers that can really make horror games.
The reason why Pei Qian wanted Shangyang Games to develop a horror-themed game was because Lin Wan and everyone at Shanyang Games had no experience in developing horror games.
When the time comes to make a very rubbish horror game, wouldn't it be great to have it on Qiao Laoshi's "Trash Game Complaints" program?
Of course, we still have to encourage everyone, and at least coax Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou to take on this mission that has a high probability of failure.
Pei Qian put the tea cup aside and said seriously: "The domestic game market and the field of horror games are still blank!"
"The domestic stand-alone game industry is very weak, and the field of horror games is even more of a niche within a niche among stand-alone games!"
"At the same time, horror games have extremely high requirements on the abilities of producers."
"Since you have to prove yourself, just do the most difficult subject matter! If you can conquer horror games, then of course you can make other games in the future."
"How can a Tengda person retreat despite difficulties?"
Lin Wan blinked and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, after hearing what Pei Qian said, her attitude was shaken.
Pei Qian was secretly proud. Sure enough, he knew that saying this would have an effect!
If it had been anyone else, Pei Qian's words might have been counterproductive and made the other party retreat in the face of difficulties.
But Lin Wan is different, she is a girl who likes challenges.
Moreover, the mobile game version of "War Hymn" has just achieved such great success, and the entire project team is in an atmosphere of blind optimism. As the saying goes, it is relatively inflated.
In this case, who doesn’t want to prove themselves by making a 3A masterpiece with its own topic?
Pei Qian felt that the employees of Yangyang Games would never be able to refuse this kind of temptation.
Lin Wan thought about it for a moment and said, "Mr. Pei, I have to discuss this topic with Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin."
Pei Qian smiled and nodded: "Of course."
He had already noticed that Lin Wan's heart was obviously shaken.
Since the three of them have not figured out what to do, then Pei Qian's direction will become their guiding light!
Lin Wan stood up and wanted to call Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin over to discuss how to make the new game.
Pei Qian raised his hand to stop her.
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing."
Lin Wan nodded: "Mr. Pei, please tell me."
Pei Qian said seriously: "In addition to the new game, there is another important task that I want to entrust to you."
“Tengda wants to create a new mobile phone brand.”
"And this mobile phone brand... I hope to give you full responsibility."
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head: "No, Mr. Pei, I really can't be responsible for this."
"Although I have bought many expensive mobile phones, I actually know nothing about mobile phones and have no interest in them. What's more, I have to be responsible for Yangyang Games. I have no skills at all, so I will definitely be too busy."
Pei Qian, who was flatly rejected, was not impatient. Lin Wan's reaction was within his expectation.
"Don't refuse in a hurry."
"Mobile phones are a very important business layout for Tenda, even more important than Yangyang games."
"After all, the upper limit of Yangyang Games is just a well-known domestic game company, but the upper limit of the mobile phone business may be a technology giant with a market value of hundreds of billions!"
"In the future, mobile phones will inevitably have an increasingly close impact on people's lives. It is a mobile terminal and a window for everyone to communicate with the Internet."
"Just like Shenhua Group, a mobile phone market can easily make a game popular. You should have seen this huge energy, right?"
"If it can succeed in the mobile phone business, then Tenda will be even more powerful!"
Pei Qian worked hard to draw the cake.
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment: "Uh... Mr. Pei, I understand everything you said. But I still feel that I have to be responsible for the game and mobile phone business at the same time, and I am a little overwhelmed..."
Pei Qian shook his head: "You underestimate yourself too much."
"This is a necessary stage for everyone who wants to grow from an ordinary leader to an excellent leader."
"Besides, the mobile phone business won't let you work alone. I will find a way to assign you a helper. You can leave all the specific business to him, and you will only be responsible for making decisions."
"Tengda's current business is so complicated that I basically don't have much control over it. Everything is developing quite well."
"You can just be a hands-off shopkeeper like me."
Lin Wan took this as a joke and smiled very cooperatively: "Mr. Pei, how can I compare with you."
Pei Qian quickly raised his hand: "Don't belittle yourself, you are definitely better than me."
"In short, this is the only way to grow into a good manager."
"What's more, looking at the entire Tenda Group, besides you, who else is suitable for the mobile phone business?"
Pei Qian's expression was one hundred and twenty percent sincere.
Lin Wan was startled, and suddenly felt that what Mr. Pei said made sense.
Mr. Pei has always had a big layout, and it is not unusual for him to decide to enter the mobile phone field.
With Tenda's current funds, if it wants to support a mobile phone division, it is not completely unaffordable.
After all, judging from Mr. Pei’s intentions, this mobile phone department is going to develop slowly, and he doesn’t intend to eat up the fat man in one fell swoop.
To put it bluntly, Lin Wan is really the most suitable person in Tenda Group to take over the mobile phone department.
Although Lin Wan doesn’t understand the inside story of the mobile phone industry, others don’t understand either!
Mr. Pei can indeed spend a lot of money to recruit people from other companies, but the executives he recruits are very unreliable, and their loyalty is very questionable.
Even if the executive is loyal enough, it is difficult to ensure that he can well understand the spirit of Tengda.
Among all the old employees of Tengda, Lin Wan is indeed the one most closely related to the mobile phone business. After all, Shenhua Group started out in the mobile phone and communications business.
As the saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen it run away. Even if Lin Wan doesn't know much about the mobile phone industry, she is more suitable for this job than other old Tenda employees.
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I will think about this matter carefully. However, during this time, you should continue to look for other more suitable candidates. It is best to find someone more suitable than me."
Pei Qian nodded: "Okay."
Lin Wan's attitude has obviously relaxed, and it is only a matter of time before he agrees.
Pei Qian thought that if the time came, she would find someone from outside the industry who knew a little bit about the mobile phone business to help her. This combination would probably bring the mobile phone business to a halt!
But who should I ask specifically to help Lin Wan...
This needs to be considered in the long term.
If you find someone with particularly strong abilities and take Lin Wan away, something big will happen.
"Well, Mr. Pei, I'll call Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin over. Can you briefly explain to them the general direction of the horror game?" Lin Wan asked.
Pei Qian quickly shook his head: "No."
"In the early stages, you should think about it for yourself first. I don't want to limit your thinking."
"After you have a general idea, I will make a few comments."
Pei Qian has become very distrustful of his own design ideas.
What if you hit your forehead with an idea and suddenly it becomes popular for no apparent reason?
However, it cannot be ignored completely.
Pei Qian considered asking Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin to come up with an idea first, and then "guiding" himself in the opposite direction, which would ensure that the game would not make any money to the maximum extent.
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll come back after a while."
