Chapter 966: If it was Mr. Pei, it wouldn't be strange!
In the afternoon, the interview team of the official platform came to the incubation base on time.
There are a total of five people in the interview team this time, the editor-in-chief of the text is Xia Jiang, and there is an intern editor, a photographer, a videography and a businessman in the team.
Although it is not the highest-level interview team, this specification is not bad, which shows that the official attaches more importance to this interview.
Xia Jiang is also a relatively senior reporter on the official side, and he was responsible for an exclusive interview with Tengda Group before, and the effect was very good.
The "blank" interview method, although there is no direct video interview with Mr. Pei, but through interviews with other key employees of Tengda, Mr. Pei's character image is still the key information for many players to understand Mr. Pei.
Xia Jiang himself became famous with that interview, and his career was smooth.
"Editor-in-Chief Xia, hello, hello."
Qiu Hong greeted him downstairs in advance with a very enthusiastic attitude.
Xia Jiang was also very happy: "Mr. Qiu! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! ”
Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and walked towards the incubation base in a friendly manner.
Qiu Hong said with some embarrassment: "We should have arranged a higher-standard reception, but the conditions on our side are limited, so please forgive me for the neglect." ”
Xia Jiangyi waved his hand: "Mr. Qiu is too polite, how many independent game producers have benefited from the Poor Road Plan to support domestic games, don't care about such trivial matters." ”
Everyone came to the incubation base, and after drinking a little drink and resting, Qiu Hong took Xia Jiang and others to start visiting.
Independent game producers are busy developing their own games, and Qiu Hong introduced the operation mode of the entire incubation base to Xia Jiang and others, including the daily diet, fitness and game arrangements for game producers, and tried several game demos, which went very smoothly.
After learning about the situation of the incubation base, the interview officially began.
Xia Jiang is a professional reporter, and of course he did some research on the incubation base and Qiu Hong before he came, and had a preliminary understanding.
What makes Xia Jiang especially concerned is Qiu Hong's career experience in the game industry.
Qiu Hong first entered the industry because of the inspiration of many domestic classic games, devoted himself to stand-alone games, polished a game for two years, and even used love to generate electricity for two months, but the final project was stillborn.
Since then, Qiu Hong has started to make krypton games, and although he has made a lot of money, he has never made a stand-alone game again.
is such a game producer, but one day he suddenly began to engage in the "Poor Road Plan", set up an independent game incubation studio in the imperial capital and the magic capital, and began to invest money to support the development of independent games!
How exactly has this mentality changed?
Where does his money come from?
What made him give up kryptonite games and devote all his energy to indie games?
Xia Jiang felt that this would be a very perfect interview angle and the key to this interview.
At the beginning of the interview, Xia Jiang first asked some questions about the incubation base.
For example, the daily work arrangement of the incubation base, what conditions are required for independent game producers to join the incubation base, the successful games that the incubation base has at present, and so on.
Qiu Hong also answered truthfully one by one, neither exaggerating too much, nor being arrogant.
Xia Jiang quickly took notes, and finally, she felt that the time was almost up, and the conversation changed and entered the main topic of this interview.
"Mr. Qiu, there is a question that I believe players and friends are very curious about."
"As far as I know, it's not too late for you to get into the gaming industry, but you've spent most of your time making online games with some success."
"But since last year, you have suddenly set your sights on domestic indie games, and launched the 'Poor Journey' Project to provide financial support to these indie game producers."
"Excuse me, what kind of mindset did you have at that time? Why is this shift happening? ”
Qiu Hong smiled a little embarrassedly: "This matter is a little ashamed. ”
"Although I am the ostensible initiator of the 'Poor Journey', in fact it is not my own plan, and the funds did not come from me. I'm just an agent, an executor. ”
Qiu Hong chose to tell the truth, on the one hand, because he didn't want to be greedy, and on the other hand, because he couldn't hide it at all.
Qiu Hong himself doesn't have so much money, and everyone can see that it is impossible for him to pay for the incubation base out of his own pocket, and sooner or later someone will ask about the source of this money.
Instead of hiding it, it is better to admit it generously, and it is like being a thief to do something good.
Xia Jiang nodded slightly, which was expected by her.
Because although Qiu Hong is a successful game producer, his income is a lot compared to ordinary people, but it is far from enough to support these two incubation bases.
Moreover, if you use your own money to raise an incubation base, no one with a problem with your brain should do so.
Therefore, Xia Jiang has long suspected that Qiu Hong has other investors behind him to provide him with financial support.
Now Qiu Hong's answer confirms this.
Xia Jiang asked, "Can you tell us who your investor is and which institution it is?" ”
Qiu Hong shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't reveal his identity." ”
Xia Jiang was a little surprised: "This investor, do good deeds without leaving a name?" But is it necessary to keep this kind of thing under wraps? ”
If someone else does this kind of thing, they will definitely have to spend money to advertise everywhere, after all, burning money to do good deeds, isn't it just to have a good reputation?
But this investor has invested money and done good deeds, but he does not let others know his identity, which is really ...... Something different.
Qiu Hong sighed with emotion: "I'm not sure why it is, but from his words and deeds, I can guess a rough idea." ”
"I once asked him, what is the purpose of the 'Poor Journey'?"
"He asked me, why does it have to be purposeful?"
In other words, he is not actually for fame or profit, neither wants to make money from this, nor does he want others to say that he is selling his reputation. He just wanted to quietly do something meaningful for the industry. ”
"Just like the name 'Poor Journey', it simply wants to help indie game companies and producers who are at the end of their rope and are about to lose their reach."
Xia Jiang couldn't help but be deeply moved: "I didn't expect that there would be such a person who cares about domestic games, this kind of noble character is really admirable!" ”
"Of course, although Mr. Qiu did not directly invest, he managed the two incubation bases in an orderly manner, and he is also the investor's right-hand man, and I think he will be very grateful to you."
Qiu Hong smiled: "Then I must be more grateful to him." ”
"Strictly speaking, the 'Poor Road Project' not only redeemed many domestic independent game producers, but also redeemed me."
Xia Jiang's eyes lit up: "Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
Qiu Hong explained: "I'm not afraid of jokes when I say it, in fact, the reason why I've been making online games and krypton games is mainly because of my anger. ”
"When I entered the industry, I was also full of love for domestic games, but this love was exhausted in the two years I made my first stand-alone game, and the chaos and poor life of the domestic game industry gave me a rebellious psychology of love and hate."
"At that time, I was still young, and in a fit of anger, I went to do krypton gold games, and I only thought about one thing, which was how to make more money."
"Later, I had no worries about food and clothing, and that rebellious mentality had long disappeared without a trace. But I didn't dare to go back to single-player games, because online games had become my comfort zone. ”
"The pressure of life has increased dramatically in middle age, and I don't have the courage to leave this comfort zone and chase the illusory dream of single-player games."
But my investor should also be a good friend, and his words touched me very much. I should not let the sorrow of the times become my own sorrow. ”
"The Great Depression of domestic single-player games was the result of a variety of factors, and although my enthusiasm was disappointed, I should not hold a grudge against anyone."
"Actually, I have long understood this truth in my heart, but I don't want to come out in the comfort zone of online games, and I don't want to admit it."
"Project Poor Journey has also given me a second chance to help indie game makers achieve their dreams. They were like me when I was younger, full of enthusiasm, but with no experience and no money. I feel very happy and happy to be able to help them. ”
"So, for this friend and investor, I am the one who should be most grateful to him."
Xia Jiang recorded carefully, inexplicably moved.
If it is really as Qiu Hong said, then this investor who does good deeds without leaving a name is really noble!
Not only did he help the financially strapped independent game producers to support the development of domestic games with real money, but also rescued Qiu Hong, a lost game producer, so that he could pick up his dream again and start again.
And such an investor, who has done so many good things, is still reluctant to reveal his name.
What a spirit this is!
Xia Jiang still didn't give up: "Mr. Qiu, can't you really reveal the identity of this investor?" It's also good to give a little side hint. ”
Qiu Hong shook his head very firmly: "I really can't." ”
Xia Jiang felt a little regretful, but since Qiu Hong was resolute, she was not easy to get to the bottom of it.
There are so many bigwigs and big companies in the game industry, and there are so many domestic investment institutions and funds that it is very difficult to guess the investors behind Qiu Hong without too many clues.
Although Xia Jiang was curious, there was nothing too good to do, so he could only put it aside for the time being and complete his own work.
After interviewing a few more questions and shooting a lot of information about the incubation base, Xia Jiang and the interview team prepared to leave.
The interview team had already been to the imperial capital once before and interviewed Wu Zhicheng, the producer of "Ink and Smoke", and also filmed a lot of materials.
Sorting out the information of the imperial capital and the magic capital, and then integrating the interviews of Wu Zhicheng and Qiu Hong, this interview with the incubation base of the "Poor Road Plan" can be regarded as a successful completion.
When "Ink and Smoke" was pre-sold before, "Poor Journey" had already been popular once, attracting the attention of many players; As soon as this official interview comes out, it will definitely go one step further and attract more attention!
"Mr. Qiu, that's all for our interview, thank you very much for your cooperation." Xia Jiang was ready to say goodbye.
"Everywhere, that's what we should do."
Qiu Hong said a few more polite words, originally wanted to leave Xia Jiang and the others to have a meal together, but was politely refused.
Qiu Hong didn't insist anymore, and kept sending the interview team to the car, and then returned to the incubation base to continue to be busy with his own affairs.
In the car, Xia Jiang flipped through the content he had written down in shorthand, and then looked at the photos and video materials taken by the photographer.
Looking at it, her brows furrowed slightly, and a special feeling lingered in her heart.
"Strange, why do these two hatching bases give me a bit of déjà vu?"
"The workstations are very relaxed, the working environment is excellent, and everyone is very enthusiastic about their work."
"Regularly arrange designers to play games to accumulate inspiration, and also arrange managed fitness exercises."
"How is it so similar to Tengda's style?"
"Could it be that ...... 'Poor Road Plan' incubation base has anything to do with Tengda? The friend and investor Qiu Hong said was actually Mr. Pei? ”
Xia Jiang didn't know why, but inexplicably recalled what he had seen and heard when he had an exclusive interview with Tengda, which matched the situation of the incubation base!
She herself was taken aback by the idea, but once she accepted it, it seemed that everything made sense!
The investor Qiu Hong said is a bit too noble, and even makes people doubt his authenticity and doubt whether he really exists.
But if this person is Mr. Pei, it wouldn't be strange at all!
