Three days have passed since the news of "Fantasy War Remastered Edition" was released.
Pei Qian deliberately chose to go to Tenda Games today to see the development status of the "Mission and Choice" project.
The reason why I didn’t go on the day I learned about “Fantasy War Remastered Edition”, but deliberately waited three days, was mainly because I wanted to deal with it a little coldly, so as not to leave a “Mr. Pei is in a hurry” to the “Mission and Choice” project team.
impression.
Pei Qian knows very well that his attitude will seriously affect the work will and working status of the entire Tenda Game Department.
If Pei Qian went to see "Mission and Choice" on the day the news of "Fantasy Battle Remastered" came out, Hu Xianbin and others would definitely feel that Mr. Pei has high hopes for the game, is not at ease with them, and feels a strong sense of crisis
, exploding 120% of efforts to complete the finishing work of the project.
But Pei Qian deliberately waited three days to go, showing an "indifferent" attitude. Naturally, Hu Xianbin and the others would not have such a strong sense of crisis.
Therefore, Pei Qian's main purpose of going this time was to appease Hu Xianbin and others, so that they would underestimate the enemy of "Fantasy War Remastered Edition", thus establishing the defeat of "Mission and Decision" in one fell swoop!
Pei Qian strolled to the Tenda Game Department and saw that everyone was concentrating on their work.
Hu Xianbin, the chief designer of the project, frowned, and his whole person was enveloped in an atmosphere of anxiety.
At this moment, he saw Mr. Pei walking in from the front door, and his dim eyes suddenly glowed with light.
This feeling is like dry seedlings meeting the rain, or like a terminally ill patient meeting a miracle doctor!
He stood up immediately: "Mr. Pei!"
There was indescribable joy in the voice.
When Mr. Pei comes, the sky will be clear; when Mr. Pei comes, "Mission and Choice" will be saved!
Hu Xianbin learned the news as soon as the promotional video for "Fantasy Battle Remastered" was released.
After watching the video and the comments from netizens, Hu Xianbin almost became depressed, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out on the spot.
How could you be so unlucky!
Hu Xianbin has been regarded as the relatively "long-lived" chief planner of Tenda Group. When Li Yada was forced to travel, he took over as the acting chief planner and was responsible for the development of GOG mobile games. Later, he was fully responsible for "Struggle" and "Mission and Mission".
The development of "The Choice".
In the eyes of the outside world, he must have the title of "gold medal producer".
But Hu Xianbin himself knows his own weight very well.
The GOG mobile game is a ported version of a PC game, and its success is mainly due to the good start of the PC game. The success of "Struggle" is entirely attributed to Mr. Pei. He is just an executor, said to be the chief designer, and has nothing to do with the executive planning.
There is no difference; as for "Mission and Choice", it was finalized under the guidance of Mr. Pei and the efforts of successive chief designers and core personnel such as Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, and Bao Xu.
Speaking of which, he has done three major projects, each of which is very impressive, but he was not responsible for any of them, and he did not even get the first credit!
Under this situation, Hu Xianbin was already under a lot of pressure. After all, "Mission and Choice" invested a huge amount of money, and he also shouldered the important tasks of "continuing the myth of Tenda Games" and "washing away the shame of national tourism."
If this goes wrong, how can Hu Xianbin have the dignity to meet Jiangdong’s elders?
As the game was approaching release, Hu Xianbin frantically adjusted himself mentally. He had almost calmed down, but he never expected that a "Fantasy Battle Remastered" would come out of nowhere!
Therefore, all the previous worries have returned with a vengeance and become more and more intense.
During these three days, Hu Xianbin was in a state of great anxiety. He always subconsciously opened the promotional video of "Fantasy Battle Remastered Edition" and watched it over and over again.
The more I look at it, the more guilty I feel!
He was worried about the sudden death of "Mission and Choice" and wanted to do something, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't think of a good way to change it, so he became even more anxious.
I wanted to call Mr. Pei for instructions, but I was worried that Mr. Pei was busy with other things. I was worried that it would be bad for me, the chief designer, to rely on Mr. Pei for everything, so I hesitated for a long time and still couldn't make the call.
go out.
Now that Mr. Pei is here, Hu Xianbin is overjoyed, as if he has finally gained a second life!
Pei Qian said with great concern: "Huh? Why don't you look good?"
"Have you been too tired and hard at work recently?"
"I'll give you a week's leave. Go back and have a good rest. Recharge your batteries before you come back to work."
Hu Xianbin was shocked. He was still on holiday?
This is all imminent. Seeing that "Missions and Decisions" will be crushed by "Fantasy War Remastered" when it is released next month, I can't wait to work overtime every day. How can I still have the mood for a vacation?
He hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, I don't want to take a vacation, I want to work overtime!"
Pei Qian's face darkened at that time: "Working overtime? Why can't you think about it so hard?"
Hu Xianbin said: "Mr. Pei, haven't you seen the promotional video of "Fantasy Battle Remake"?"
"Our game will be released in a month, there is no time!"
"Mr. Pei, give us an order quickly. Tell us how to change "Mission and Choice", and then grant us unlimited overtime quota next month. I will definitely be able to change the game before it is released!"
Hu Xianbin spoke very impassionedly, giving the impression that a strong man will never return once he is gone.
Pei Qian almost laughed angrily, "Okay, kid, I know you haven't completely gotten rid of your bad habit of working overtime!"
Originally, an employee like this should be allowed to go home on vacation and reflect for a period of time, but Pei Qian thought about it and realized that the more anxious Hu Xianbin was, the faster "Mission and Choice" would fade away. This was a good thing, so he forgave him.
I didn’t delve into Hu Xianbin’s need to work overtime.
Pei Qian pulled an office chair from the side and sat on it comfortably, then leaned back and crossed his legs comfortably.
"Where's the video? I've already watched it."
"It's absolutely impossible to work overtime."
"There is nothing to change about the game. The current state is perfect."
"As for you saying that there is still one month until our game is released, this is actually not very accurate. Your news is out of date."
"I just got the news that the release date of "Fantasy Battle Remastered Edition" has been finalized. It is Saturday, the 14th of next month."
"Therefore, the release date of our "Mission and Decision" game and the movie schedule have also been advanced half a month to the 14th of next month!"
"You can just negotiate with the official platform for the release date of the game. I've asked Feihuang Studio to ask Lin Chang to help arrange the release of the movie, and there's no problem."
Looking at Mr. Pei, who was sitting opposite him with his legs crossed leisurely and his expression extremely calm, Hu Xianbin was completely confused.
He almost wondered if he had heard wrongly.
Not only did it not delay the development of "Fantasy Fighter Remastered", but it also deliberately moved the release date forward, directly hitting it on the same day?!
"Forget the game, why is the movie released two weeks in advance?"
"Isn't the May Day Golden Week schedule a good one? What does it mean to change it to April 14th?"
Hu Xianbin felt that his three views were about to be subverted.
Looking at the dumbfounded Hu Xianbin, Pei Qian couldn't help feeling secretly happy.
Okay, this move seems to be the right one again!
In fact, at the earliest time, the game release date and movie schedule of "Mission and Decision" were set on May 1st. Because Zhu Xiaoce felt that May Day was the golden week and one of the best times of the year. The number of people watching the movie
It will be huge.
The movie "Mission and Choice" invested a huge amount of money, and Lu Zhiyao joined the cast. From any point of view, it should not be inferior to other movies, and it will dominate the May Day prime time.
Since the game and the movie are closely related, of course they have to be released on the same day.
Pei Qian has always been very dissatisfied with this movie schedule for the same reason: it is set on such a popular May Day schedule, what if the movie becomes a hit?
It's just that he has been suffering from the lack of a particularly good excuse to change this schedule.
Now the excuses are coming.
Pei Qian coughed twice: "Don't they all say that "Fantasy War" is an eternal classic in the history of RTS games?"
"It was too early when the original game was released. Our company was born at the wrong time and was unable to hit it. Now that we are going to release a remake, our "Mission and Choice" happens to be an RTS game, so of course we have to give it a try!"
"Delaying sales and changing the release date because you're afraid that sales will be affected? That's what a coward does!"
"Besides, what's wrong with "Mission and Choice" that's not as good as other games? We should be confident!"
“Since what we want to do is to ‘wash away the shame of domestic gaming’ and show the elegance of domestic games to all domestic players and even the entire gaming industry, we must not be timid!”
"A few days earlier or a few days later, if the quality is really not good, whether you should be sprayed or criticized, whether you should be scolded or scolded, it will not fundamentally change anything."
"Instead, we deliberately set the release date on the same day, which can show a spirit of sword-fighting. Even if we lose, it will be commendable and not embarrassing!"
Hu Xianbin: "..."
Pei Qian's confident and impassioned speech confused Hu Xianbin.
For some reason, his original fearful attitude completely disappeared, replaced by an indescribable calmness.
What Mr. Pei said makes sense!
If the goal of the game is simply to make a little money, then it's perfectly fine and reasonable to avoid Fantasy Battle Remastered.
But with so much money invested in "Mission and Decision", it can be said to be a desperate game. Its goal is not only to make a little money, but also to wash away the shame of domestic games and show all players the new look of domestic games.
If you give in, wouldn’t you have already lost in terms of momentum?
But Hu Xianbin changed his mind and said: "Mr. Pei, I understand the game release date, but the movie schedule..."
