Monday, April 4th.

When he got up in the morning, Pei Qian smoothed out his work goals for the past two days a little.

First of all, Tengda Games and Yuyang Games, the two game departments that frequently make money, have been arranged!

Yang game, let them go all out to promote the IOI national server.

And on the Tengda game side, Pei Qian also has to find some work for them.

Otherwise, Hu Xianbin and they will continue to make every effort to update the GOG version, release new heroes, and increase publicity and promotion, and the ioi national server may not be able to beat.

After all, GOG has a much smoother start in China than ioi, and you have to find a way for ioi to snatch all the GOG players.

As for Hu Xianbin, what kind of work are they looking for......

Pei Qian thought about it and decided to sum up his experience and learn a lesson, this time he must develop a stand-alone game that no one cares about!

The success of "Beautiful Tomorrow" was a rather heavy blow to Pei Qian, which turned his three views upside down.

Why is it that in my own opinion, it is obviously disgusting to the audience, but the audience is not angry at all? It's not scientific at all!

And after hard thinking, Pei Qian understood.

The main thing is that there is a problem with the way of expression!

In the movie "Beautiful Tomorrow", if the audience brings themselves into the male protagonist, they will definitely be very uncomfortable and aggrieved, and they will soon die of poison.

But this is a movie.

Zhu Xiaoce uses specific techniques to keep the audience in the perspective of God at all, and no one brings in the hero or heroine, so that they can look at this story with a higher level and a more compassionate attitude.

So, the taste changed in an instant.

In Pei Qian's view, this is also the biggest failure of "Beautiful Tomorrow", from blood loss to blood gain, it is completely a thought and a catastrophe.

Therefore, Pei Qian thinks about it, and if you feed the audience poison, you can lose, this point of view itself is correct.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "kneeling in truth".

The key is how to feed it, which requires certain skills.

The sense of substitution must be strengthened!

As long as you let everyone substitute for the role, and then make the role miserable, it will definitely have the desired effect.

Pei Qian felt that he seemed to have found the crux of making money in "Beautiful Tomorrow", and he needed a little verification next.

But how exactly do you verify it......

Feihuang Studio has been shocked by Pei Qian, and he was bitten by a snake once, and he doesn't want to touch movies again in the short term.

In comparison, games are a more immersive art form!

Some of the suffering in the movie doesn't cause much offending from the audience, but in the game, it's hard to say if the player is masochistic with the main character.

Of course, one might argue that the suffering game of "Turning Back" did not cause the game to be disgusted, but rather made the player happy.

This is a complete misunderstanding.

Although suffering games such as "Turning Back to the Shore" will make players suffer, what players like is not the feeling of suffering, but the feeling of becoming stronger after suffering, in the final analysis, it is still to get the sense of accomplishment of overcoming difficulties.

In other words, the players of this kind of game are not shaking M at all, on the contrary, they are all shaking S.

Almost all games in the world have to give players enough positive feedback in order for players to have fun.

And Pei Qian has already decided that this game will definitely not give players any positive feedback, but only transmit downright negative energy!

Doesn't it say "kneel in truth"?

This time, I'm going to make a game that's so real that I'm sure I'll be able to do it without friends!

This time, Mr. Pei decided to go out in person, or write the story synopsis of the game by himself, to prevent Hu Xianbin from misinterpreting his intentions, and he must arrange the players clearly!

Of course, Pei Qian also thought that doing so does not necessarily mean that you will lose, and the failure of the game "Game Producer" is a very profound lesson.

At that time, Pei Qian also thought that the narration of "Game Producer" was insulting the players, but the players were not angry at all, and the narration became a big plus.

Coupled with Qiao Laoshi's over-interpretation, things became out of control.

For these, Pei Qian also thought of countermeasures early, and he would definitely not repeat the mistakes of the past, let alone fall twice in a puddle!

In short, Pei Qian learned the lessons from the two failures of "Beautiful Tomorrow" and "Game Producer", and decided to finish the battle!

……

In the reception room of the Tengda gaming department.

Hu Xianbin was a little nervous.

Pei Qian called Hu Xianbin to the reception room alone to tell him about the design ideas of this new game.

This time, Pei Qian didn't call anyone else, especially old employees such as Li Yada and Bao Xu.

Because these people have participated in the development of "Game Producer" and have a deep understanding of the success of "Game Producer", Pei Qian is afraid that their participation will lead this new project astray.

Therefore, Pei Qian decided to quarantine these old employees.

Let a few old employees who have participated in the development of "Game Producer" go to maintain GOG casually, and transfer Hu Xianbin and other new employees who have little experience in the development of stand-alone games to be responsible for the development of new games.

In order to ensure that this project can fully meet the level he expected, Pei Qian had to explain everything to Hu Xianbin this time to prevent him from making any brain supplements.

Pei Qian took a sip of tea and told his thoughts.

"The name of the game this time, called "Struggle", is an interactive movie game with a realistic theme, in which all the characters must be modeled in high definition, motion capture, and the picture quality level is on par with the 3A masterpieces."

"Of course, because the process of the game is shorter, it won't cost a lot of money, probably ...... Let's prepare 40 million first, and then add if it's not enough. ”

"The development time is tentatively set for five months, and we strive to go online around September 1."

Hu Xianbin was confused.

What's that?

Interactive cinematic games, or realistic themes?

What is this magic combination?

The so-called interactive movie game can be seen as a text adventure game with exquisite graphics. After the story begins, players can choose different routes and play different endings, but all players need to do is choose between certain options, and they don't need to actually get started.

Interactive movie games, some with game graphics, some with real sets and actors, are not cheap.

However, as Mr. Pei requested, the high-definition modeling, motion capture, and quality of all characters are on par with 3A masterpieces, which may cost more money than real sets and actor shooting.

40 million, that's enough to make a movie......

Thinking of this, Hu Xianbin felt a lot of pressure while being confused.

That doesn't sound very reliable!

If it weren't for Mr. Pei himself, Hu Xianbin would have thought that someone was trying to fake the holy decree.

Pei Qian continued: "The so-called "Struggle" is to let players re-experience the struggle process in reality in the game. ”

"This time the game will be divided into two parts, the rich version and the poor version, which will be sold separately."

"The rich version of "Struggle" is sold to the poor, the original price is 29, and the discounted price is 19 yuan; The poor edition of "Struggle" is sold to the rich at an original price of 99 and a discounted price of 79. ”

"If a player only buys one version, they can get a discounted price; If you buy both versions, you can only buy them at the original price, which is a total of 128 yuan. ”

Hu Xianbin blinked: "This ...... What's the meaning? ”

Pei Qian nodded: "Of course there is a deep meaning, the poor experience the life of the rich, and the poor have no money, so the price is lower; The rich experience the life of the poor, and the rich have money, so the price is a little higher; There is no second chance in life, so if you want to experience both, you have to spend more money. ”

Hu Xianbin was silent and said with emotion: "Mr. Pei's pricing is so philosophical......

Pei Qian continued: "Whether it is a poor version or a rich version, it will be divided into several stages, from small to large, from school to work, from work to life, from rest to entertainment...... Through these scenes, we want to show as many aspects of the lives of the poor or rich as possible. ”

"In the rich version, the player plays a rich man who has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and has easily achieved success in life, career, relationships and other aspects with the money and resources of his parents."

"But in the end, he died under the knife of a homeless man."

"In the poor man's version, the player plays a poor man, who shrunk from a small section of food and clothing, and has a bumpy road, and when he grows up, he does not counterattack, but continues the cycle of poverty."

Hu Xianbin was stunned when he heard it: "And then? ”

Pei Qian: "Then? No more, that's what the game is all about. ”

Hu Xianbin was even more confused: "As an interactive movie game, shouldn't there be many endings?" ”

Pei Qian shook his head: "No, no matter how you choose this game, there are only two endings in the end: the rich are killed by the homeless, and the poor continue to be poor." ”

Pei Qian said secretly, I will never make the mistake of "Game Producer" with multiple endings!

Hu Xianbin was shocked: "If everything is already doomed, then what are players playing? ”

Pei Qian explained: "There will be a difference in the process. Each time the player chooses a different one, they will lead to a different branch, but all the branches will return to the same ending. ”

"The difference between those branches is not reflected in the ending."

"As for the details of this game, it should be filled in all aspects of life under the big framework."

"For example, when going to school, the poor can only go to ordinary schools with low quality education, while the rich can go to expensive aristocratic schools; When I went to work, the poor repeatedly hit a wall in interviews, while the rich went directly to work in their father's company; When falling in love, the poor man fell out with his girlfriend for many years because he couldn't afford to buy a house, and the rich man brought different girls from nightclubs to his residence every day; When they get married, the poor buy a small second-hand house with the help of the whole family, while the rich man's family has already prepared a mansion and does not have to do anything, and every year the value of the property alone grows more than the poor earn more from hard work......"

"Understood?"

The corners of Hu Xianbin's mouth twitched slightly: "I...... Got it too much. ”

Pei Qian thought for a while and added: "Oh yes, the background of the story should be set in Europe and the United States, and a few foreigners should be found to do motion capture and dubbing." ”

Hu Xianbin: "Mr. Pei, this game ...... Is there any deep meaning? ”

Pei Qian smiled: "You don't care if you have a deep meaning, you just need to do your job well." ”

"I'll come up with the synopsis of the game, and you and the rest of the production team will be in charge of refining the story. Once the plot is all written, read it to me again to make sure there are no deviations. ”

"Alright, let's go get ready."

"Art resources and the like can be done first, anyway, you know what kind of roles you want to do if you make up your own brain, parents, teachers, classmates, bosses, etc."

Pei Qian briefly explained a few more words, turned around and left.

Only Hu Xianbin was left alone to pull his hair and think hard.

Teacher, this question is out of the program, isn't it?

I can't guess at all!

……

This time, in order to make sure that he could lose all his money, Pei Qian was also fully prepared.

This pricing is very meaningful.

The poor man's version, which can also be called the ultimate suffering version, can play this game to re-suffer the sins of the poor in reality, and the ultimate abuse.

The rich version, which can also be called the gold leaf wrapping version, is smooth sailing in front of it, and it is completely long and arrogant, which makes people feel so cool, but in the end they died under the knife of the poor.

Considering that the rich man's version is wrapped in gold leaf, and he didn't see the dagger until the end, and the front was very cool, so Pei Qian deliberately set a low price of 19 yuan.

And the poor version was abused throughout the whole process, but set a high price of 79.

In order to prevent players from playing the two versions together and having some inexplicable interpretations, Pei Qian deliberately increased the price of buying the two versions together.

And if players really want to buy it, the best choice is to buy the rich version for 19 yuan, which doesn't cost much, and the risk of Pei Qian making money is very low.

As for the content inside, it's even more excessive.,Forget about being masochized throughout the whole process.,The key is that both endings are too miserable.,No matter how hard the player tries in the game, they can't change these two endings!

With this game, can anyone else play it?

No way!

Pei Qian was determined to "kneel in the truth" this time.

To die in this way, and strive to make all 40 million go down the drain, and there is nothing left!
