Pei Qian felt that he had avoided the limelight for a few days and could almost go out for a walk.
After Huang Sibo posted the video last Sunday, Pei Qian has not dared to take to the streets struttingly, let alone go to the Moyu Internet Cafe where he often has activities. Instead, he has been paying attention to the changes in the trend of the Internet.
So far, people who know Pei Qian in real life, whether they are Tengda employees or "friends" such as Qiao Liang, Ruan Guangjian, and Li Shi, have basically established a consensus that they should keep secrets for Mr. Pei.
Most curious fans, because of that video, no longer delve into Mr. Pei's true identity, but choose to regard the image in "Mr. Pei's Daily Life" as Mr. Pei's symbol.
People's attention on Mr. Pei's true identity seems to have been successfully diverted.
Of course, now that Pei Qian goes out, there will definitely be some trouble. Most people will take a photo with him as Mr. Pei's actor, but at most it will just be a photo together, and there will be no other troubles.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that he could almost go out and walk around to welcome his "new identity".
First, let’s go to the Moyu Internet Cafe near Handong University and have a cup of coffee.
However, considering that there were more people at noon, Pei Qian thought it would be best to arrive at three or four in the afternoon, which might not attract so much attention.
…
At the same time, Ruan Guangjian had just finished his lunch of Moyu takeout, stretched out, and was about to stand up and walk around to eat, look at the green plants in the studio, and relax.
After "Struggle" was launched, the only work left was to design the hero original paintings for GoG. It became a lot easier and I had more time to rest.
At this moment, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking into Halo Studio.
Ruan Guangjian was stunned for a moment. It was really uncommon for a stranger to come to his door.
Because although Halo Studio rents a street shop diagonally opposite Moyu Internet Cafe, in fact, their work is taken from Tenda Games or the esro official platform. The nature of this place is not a shop but an office space. Generally, it is not
Someone will visit.
Taking a closer look, Ruan Guangjian felt that this middle-aged man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Hello?" Ruan Guangjian came forward and greeted politely.
The middle-aged man smiled: "Hello, I'm He An from Mengguo Games. I happened to be passing by here and saw the sign of Halo Studio, so I wanted to come in and take a look."
Ruan Guangjian suddenly remembered.
This is the guy who posted an interpretation of "Struggle" on Weibo!
He An is the predecessor of domestic stand-alone games. Ruan Guangjian has certainly seen his photos, but there will be a certain gap between the photos and the real person. In addition, the memory is a bit vague, so he did not recognize him at the first time.
"Senior Mr. He! Please come in, please come in. I am the person in charge of Halo Studio, Ruan Guangjian."
He An was a little surprised: "You are the person in charge of Halo Studio? The painter who has been working with Mr. Pei? Nice to meet you!"
Some are surprised by Ruan Guangjian's youth.
The two of them had heard about each other, and after introducing each other, they immediately hit it off.
Professionals often have the same trait, which is respect for other professionals.
Ruan Guangjian knows that He An is the leading senior producer in the domestic stand-alone game industry, and He An also knows that Ruan Guangjian is currently the top painter and concept designer in the country, and he has a lot to share.
After coming to the studio and sitting down, Ruan Guangjian asked an employee to buy coffee across the street, and the two of them drank and chatted.
"Is this your first time in Jingzhou, Mr. He An?" Ruan Guangjian asked.
He An smiled slightly and shook his head: "No, actually I have been here many times."
"I have been giving lectures to Mr. Ma of Tengda Group recently in a small cafe nearby. The course was originally over, but Qiao Laoshi's video made me interested in Jingzhou again.
So I suddenly want to come back this weekend.”
"I just wanted to take a walk around here, but I happened to see the name of Halo Studio. I was a little curious, so I came in."
Ruan Guangjian was a little confused: "Mr. Ma of Tenda Group?"
He An nodded: "Yes, it's Mr. Ma from Dream Venture Capital, Ma Yang."
Ruan Guangjian tried hard to recall, and he seemed to vaguely know that there was such a person. He knew that Mr. Ma had made Tenda 500 million as soon as he made a move, but he had never actually seen it.
But, why does Mr. Ma want Mr. He An to give a lecture?
Is it possible that he feels that investing is too simple and boring, so he wants to switch to gaming?
Then why not ask Mr. Pei to give a lecture?
Hmm... maybe it's because Mr. Pei is too busy at work and doesn't have time?
It is possible.
Ruan Guangjian didn't think much and asked casually: "Have you met Mr. Pei, Mr. He? Mr. Pei should also know that Mr. Ma asked you to give a lecture, right?"
He An said with some regret: "I have a close relationship with Mr. Pei. Mr. Ma's tuition was paid by Mr. Pei after he obtained outstanding employees. Mr. Pei must have known about it."
Ruan Guangjian frowned slightly: "Then this is a bit inappropriate. Mr. Pei has always been warm and hospitable. All friends who come to Jingzhou are treated with high standards. An old senior like you has no reason not to see you."
He An didn't pay much attention: "Maybe Mr. Pei is too busy. After all, Tengda has been developing rapidly during this period. Mr. Pei spent a lot of energy on developing "Struggle". It's normal for him to be busy."
"However, I am indeed very curious about Mr. Pei. You should see Mr. Pei often, right? Can you tell me about Mr. Pei?"
Ruan Guangjian nodded: "Of course!"
"Mr. Pei is very sincere towards his friends, and he is also a very good game producer. He has a good grasp of the details of the game. In fact, the style of the game "Struggle" was decided by him..."
Ruan Guangjian talked about the scene at that time with fascination on his face.
At that time, the first batch of original paintings of "Struggle" had just come out, and Ruan Guangjian dealt with them completely in an extremely realistic style. Mr. Pei realized the problems with these original paintings as soon as he saw them, and proposed to change them all.
It becomes a facial-like character and highlights the typical characteristics of the character.
Sure enough, this style became a great success after the game was launched.
Afterwards, Ruan Guangjian talked about his cooperation experience with Mr. Pei in other games, such as "Ghost General" and gog, etc.
He An nodded frequently and clapped his hands in admiration from time to time.
The cooperation between designers and artists has always been a difficult problem. Once communication and cooperation are not smooth, it is easy to hold each other back.
But the cooperation between Mr. Pei and Ruan Guangjian seems to have no such problem at all. They can always cooperate seamlessly. This is really amazing!
He An was very excited when he heard this. He also talked about how he taught Mr. Ma game design theory in Jingzhou. In particular, he talked about how he used Mr. Pei's game as a teaching case, which inspired Mr. Ma and made the teaching effect twice the result with half the effort.
The more the two of them chatted, the more they became interested.
Ruan Guangjian is Mr. Pei’s friend, He An is Mr. Ma’s friend, and Mr. Pei and Mr. Ma are friends. Rounding things off, these two people can also become very good friends!
What's more, they are all well-known figures in the domestic gaming circle. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so it is even more necessary to get acquainted with them.
The more the two chatted, the more they became more and more interested. Without one of them paying attention, two hours passed.
He An looked at the time and said, "Oh, I didn't pay attention to the time. Did it disturb your work?"
Ruan Guangjian shook his head: "No, my working hours are very free and there will be no delays."
He An stood up anyway: "Then I won't bother you. Tomorrow is the weekend. If you have time, I'll treat you to a meal and let's have a good chat at the dinner table. How about that?"
Ruan Guangjian also stood up quickly: "No problem! But it must be me who invites you. After all, this is Jingzhou."
He An smiled: "You're welcome. Okay, I'll leave first. We can contact you at any time."
The two left each other's contact information, and Ruan Guangjian sent He An out of Halo Studio.
As soon as I went out, I happened to see a familiar figure passing by.
Ruan Guangjian's eyes lit up and he said, "Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"
Isn't this a coincidence?
"Mr. Pei!" Ruan Guangjian was very happy, "We were talking about you just now!"
Pei Qian, who had just mentally prepared to go out, saw He An and Ruan Guangjian walking out of the Halo Studio as soon as he walked to the door of Moyu Internet Cafe.
Then, Pei Qian, who was frozen in place, witnessed He An's expression throughout the whole process, from surprise to surprise, to confusion and shock.
I was embarrassed for a moment.
Countless question marks floated over Pei Qian's head. He never expected that such a thing would happen!
Why is He An here?
Haven't you already left Jingzhou? When did you come back?
When did you meet Ruan Guangjian?
How do I explain...
The question mark on He An's head is no less than that of Pei Qian.
When he first met "Mr. Ma", he was quite happy and felt that the fate was wonderful.
But when Ruan Guangjian shouted "Mr. Pei", He An's smile froze instantly.
Mr. Pei? Ruan Guangjian actually called Mr. Ma "Mr. Pei"?
Referring to Pei as a horse?
Oh no, it should be referring to Ma as Pei?
It doesn't seem right either.
Did Ruan Guangjian shout wrong?
No, Ruan Guangjian has cooperated with Mr. Pei so many times, so he can’t go wrong!
There is definitely a big problem!
Both of them were awkward on the spot, not knowing what to say.
Ruan Guangjian looked at He An, then at Mr. Pei, and found that neither of them spoke, and was a little confused as to what was going on.
But after thinking about it, I realized that both of them were a little excited about such a historic meeting, which is understandable!
It's better not to disturb them and let them enjoy the moment to themselves.
Thinking of this, Ruan Guangjian smiled slightly: "You two must have a lot to talk about, I will go back to work first, see you later!"
Ruan Guangjian returned to Halo Studio.
A gust of wind blew by, picking up a fallen leaf on the ground, and everything seemed to be still.
Pei Qian and He An looked at each other with different expressions, but they were both speechless and choked.
