Game designer: I am making games, not charity

At this time, Goose Factory, Game Department.

Director Xu Chen frowned while listening to a group of employees discussing the latest game theme.

They wanted to make a good martial arts game.

But now, there are too many martial arts-themed games.

All kinds of simulators have covered almost all the martial arts themes that can be imagined.

Seeing that the employees discussed for a long time without any results, Xu Chen cleared his throat impatiently.

"Don't be so limited in thinking, expand your thinking, all kinds of themes can be considered."

That being said, apart from martial arts, they can't think of a better background at the moment.

Hey, it's getting harder and harder to make a good game these days.

After all, there are only so many things in reality, and basically everything that can be simulated has been simulated enough.

This is also the reason why Goose Factory often spends money to acquire game companies outside.

Insufficient creativity can only rely on acquisitions to stabilize the company's position in the game industry.

Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, Xu Chen simply said again: "It's really not possible, just think about whether there are any particularly good game companies recently. If we buy their companies, we can also get some good game themes by the way."

Perhaps inspired by the word acquisition, an employee next to him immediately got up and said, "Mr. Xu, I thought of it. Last time, Zhuchang adopted the acquisition of the copyright of a novel and used it to adapt a game. Why don't we try it.

In the past two days, there is a very popular novel called "Zhu Xian", Mr. Xu, you can read it. "

Hearing this, Xu Chen was aroused a little interest, so he waved the staff to dismiss the meeting.

He himself opened the webpage, browsed the popularity of "Zhu Xian", and checked the comments of various netizens on the website.

Seeing this, Xu Chen was shocked.

"Is this book so popular?"

It has dominated the entire channel of online novels for several days in a row, and directly broke the record in the online literature circle. It is not too much to call it a divine book!
But looking at it, Xu Chen found something wrong in the comment section of the novel!
"This... What does it mean for Platinum to adapt the game? Has the author and Platinum Games ever cooperated?"

He couldn't help but continued to browse in the comment area, and it took him a long time to finally understand the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that Chen Xi, the author of the book "Zhu Xian", said in the chapter that he was helping Platinum Corporation to write the plot for the new game.

Moreover, the president of Platinum Corporation also said in his scarf that if there is fate, he can consider adapting "Zhu Xian" into a game.

See here.

Xu Chen immediately opened the scarf, clicked into Chen Feng's personal account, and opened the nearest scarf to look at it.

Immediately found that there are a lot of comments under this article.

There are a large number of book friends of the book "Zhu Xian", and these people have a very high voice for adapting this book into a game.

There are even many book friends who are imagining the content of the adapted game in the comment area.

And Chen Feng, the president of Platinum Company, often interacts with these readers in the comment area, imagining fairy-like games together.

"Oh, it's as if he is the author..."

Xu Chen looked at it and couldn't help sneering.

Then, he looked serious and pondered.

The content of Xianxia also fits perfectly with the martial arts game Xu Chen wants to make.

Moreover, the gameplay and other core content of their game are basically ready now, but they lack a novel world view.

"If the book "Zhu Xian" is really suitable...then we can buy it directly..."

Thinking of this, Xu Chen immediately opened the 17k novel web page, clicked to enter the main page of "Zhu Xian", and then immediately clicked to start reading!

And this read.

Xu Chen immediately sank into it!

After more than ten minutes, Xu Chen sat on the chair like this, deaf to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of sages.

Time passed slowly, and the others around were a little impatient.

At this moment, the secretary who was already standing beside him coughed calmly.

But Xu Chen remained silent.

So she could only touch the other party lightly with the back of her hand, which woke Xu Chen up completely.

Xu Chen raised his head with a blank expression on his face. After he realized it, a strong joy erupted in his eyes immediately!
This is completely a novel prepared for them!

Realizing that he had lost his composure just now, Xu Chen cleared his throat, and then said, "I just read that "Zhu Xian" and it is indeed very good. Our company uses this novel as the background! Let the following people know now, Give me all to read this novel, and when I buy the copyright, do it directly!"

The employees at the bottom listened, looked at each other, and pondered. After a while, someone said: "Mr. Xu, after all, this is a completely innovative subject and background, and this novel has not been finished yet. The background is not familiar, even if all of us read it, there is no way to make the whole background in such a short time..."

"Unless there is help from the original author who already knows everything."

Xu Chen smiled after hearing this: "We have bought his copyright, can't we also buy others? Don't worry, for our goose factory, all the problems that can be solved with money are not problems!"

As soon as Xu Chen said this, the employees below felt relieved.

Everyone discussed other things, and then ended the meeting.

But Xu Chen didn't leave, but stayed in the meeting room and continued to think.

In his opinion, the only thing that is not good now is the scarf. Whenever this book is mentioned, Platinum Games will be mentioned.

Xu Chen also remembered this platinum company.

It was the same small company that made Legend.

Moreover, the boss of this company doesn't know how to flatter him. Goose Factory offered him an olive branch twice, wanting to buy his company, but was rejected.

After learning about the situation, Xu Chen immediately called Mr. Ma, briefly explained the situation of "Zhu Xian", revealed his desire to buy, and successfully applied for the copyright fee.

Then, by the way, I also applied for a wave of publicity funds...

After all, now, because of the relationship between the author of "Zhu Xian" and Platinum Games.

When many book fans think of adapting "Zhu Xian" into a game, they directly think of Platinum Games.

This situation is naturally not what Xu Chen wants to see!
The phone call with Mr. Ma lasted a total of 10 minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen immediately found the secretary in high spirits, and ordered: "Buy me two anonymous hot searches on the scarf, be careful, don't be linked to our goose factory by netizens, probably The content is like this..."

……

After about half an hour.

A scarf with a marketing account related to the game was sent out, and then the scarf quickly became a hot search.

[Platinum Game Company, a company that only knows about hype, has no qualifications, no ability, and no ability to make good games at all! 】

As soon as the scarf came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions.

Below, there are many user comments on scarves.

"To be honest, I really don't understand how this company became popular. It's purely a traffic company created by marketing."

"That's right, you can refer to some traffic stars in the entertainment industry who make all kinds of gimmicks all day long, but they are actually just fools."

"The game industry needs to be formalized. Now all kinds of cats and dogs can come out to make up for it. It is not fair to those companies that really make games. For example, Goose Factory, they never engage in traffic marketing, but they have won the Pangu Game Award several times.

Such a game company should be sought after by all of us. "

"That's right, like the platinum game company that made "Legend" before..."

This topic has been heated up.

Many thoughtful people even brought the topic to Platinum Game Company, and then belittled Platinum Game Company to nothing, and turned to Goose Factory.

It is said that a company like Goose Factory is the hope that can truly promote the game of Great Xia Kingdom to the world.

Followed by.

Less than an hour passed.

In addition, there are several scarves that count Goose Factory games, which once again rushed to the hot search.

[Inventory of the top ten martial arts games in China, the number one of Goose Factory is well-deserved. 】

[What is a real martial arts game, let Goose Factory tell you. 】

[Won't anyone play games from five years ago now?Big mistake, Goose Factory's martial arts games, no matter how long they are, are enduring. 】

With the guidance of the marketing account, the martial arts game about Goose Factory suddenly became a hot topic on the scarf.

Numerous marketing accounts are rhythmic under these topics, building a false prosperity belonging to Goose Factory martial arts games.

Many people picked up the screenshots when they played the martial arts online game of Goose Factory, and they were full of emotion.

Some people deliberately brought the topic back to "Zhu Xian" and rubbed it directly.

However, "Zhu Xian" has now become a legend in the Internet literature circle.

But in this world, the web literature circle has not officially entered the public's field of vision.

So it didn't attract a lot of attention.

"It's been three years since I stopped playing this game. At the beginning, the love I met in the game has now become my wife..."

"If I didn't get out of the pit five years ago, what would I be like now..."

"Hey, back then I skipped class and went to the VR experience hall to play this game. Looking back now, it seems like it was just yesterday..."

"Now that I think about it, computer games are rubbish, and VR games are king. The martial arts games made by VR have a simulated feeling that computers can't match at all..."

"Compared to a big company like Goose Factory, the structure of Platinum Games is indeed too small."

"Speaking of which, there is a novel called "Zhu Xian" recently, which seems to be quite good. If Goose Factory is allowed to do it, it will definitely have a very good result!"

"There is one thing to say, indeed, Goose Factory is indeed a good company that never hypes, and only works hard to make games, and no matter in terms of qualifications or the company's core technical capabilities, Goose Factory is well-deserved the best in the industry! "

……

"The goose factory never hypes", so this scarf has entered the top ten hot searches!
Meanwhile, Goose Factory headquarters.

Xu Chen, director of the game department, looked at the computer and rushed to the top ten most searched scarves, feeling very satisfied.

According to this kind of development, for the game adapted from "Zhu Xian", many book fans will definitely be more inclined to Goose Factory.

At that time, it will naturally attract a large number of fans of the original book.

Next, I asked the website to purchase the copyright of "Zhu Xian".

However, in Xu Chen's eyes, this matter is actually very simple and can be solved easily.

He asked his secretary to directly contact the company behind 17k Novel.com to inquire about acquiring the copyright.

"Zhu Xian" is indeed a legend in the online literature circle, and the price of such a popular book will naturally not be cheap.

Fortunately, the goose factory may lack everything, but it is absolutely impossible to lack money!

In terms of budget, Xu Chen directly applied for 5000 million with President Ma in the previous phone call.

But he believes that with the reputation of the goose factory, let alone 5000 million, even 4000 million.The website will definitely not refuse.

But who knows, 10 minutes later, the secretary came back with a surprised face and reported: "Mr. Xu, I just asked the person in charge of the website, and they said that the copyright is not in the hands of the website, but in the hands of the original author." , if we want to buy it, we can only find the original author."

"Didn't you say that the contract for web articles is deceitful?" Xu Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. He nodded and said directly: "Okay, you ask them for the original author's phone number, and I will give it to you personally." The author called."
