Rewrite the Technological Landscape

But even this small paragraph was enough for the twelve people to digest for a while. Song Zhenluo from the technical department quickly questioned, "Microsoft has monopolized the system for so many years, how can we compete with others? This is impossible, right?"

"What else can competition rely on?" Meng Qian asked back, looking at Song Zhenluo quietly for three seconds, and then his expression became serious, "Here, by the way, I hope I will only hear it from the people of Dafeng Science and Technology Innovation Co., Ltd." To two sentences, this should be done, just do it.

When you have suggestions, please tell me what to do as soon as possible. When you have no suggestions, please do your job well according to the company's development goals.

But I don't want to hear that this is not possible. If you think it is not possible, please tell me how to do it. If you don't know how to do it, please respect the company's goals for now, because no matter how bad you are, you will lose a copy. To me, work and the company are everything to me.

I didn't start the company to play games. I dare to gamble with all my money. What are you afraid of? "

Song Zhenluo quickly understood what Meng Qian meant, and said a little ashamedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Meng, but I'm timid."

Meng Qian took a few steps forward, "Great companies emerge in every era, and great companies fall in every era. If you dare to fight, the next era will be ours."

Everyone was speechless, but Meng Qian noticed that a few people had hope in their eyes.

Meng Qian glanced at the time again, "Let's go here for this part first, everyone take a break, and I will tell you about the game development in a while. You can go back to the finance side first, and Sister Sun will continue to stay for records.

Five people from the art department come with me. "

After Meng Qian left with Fu Qinyi and others, Li Feiqing from the technical department couldn't help but tease, "This Mr. Meng really dares to think that a company with nothing wants to challenge Microsoft, oh no, it's to defeat Microsoft."

Song Zhenluo turned his head and glanced at Li Feiqing, "Do you want to follow a boss who is afraid to kneel when he sees Microsoft?"

Everyone was silent again.

Meng Qian took Fu Qinyi and others back to his office, and said directly, "You have heard just now that my company will not be a company that will completely focus on the CG field in the future, but what I dare to say is that , even if I don't focus, Dafeng Science and Technology will still become a myth in this field.

Of course, the choice is now yours. "

The five looked at each other, and Meng Qian didn't give them a chance to communicate in private this time.

As a result, Fu Qinyi responded immediately, "Mr. Meng, I want to stay, can I?"

Seeing Fu Qinyi's worried expression, Meng Qian smiled and said, "I've said it all, now the choice is in your hands."

Then Si Yuhang on the side also raised his hand, "Mr. Meng, I want to stay too."

Regardless of whether the people after that were a little drifting with the tide, anyway, the last five people chose to stay.

Back in the conference room, Meng Qian called Sun Xiaojing over first, "After the meeting, I will take five people to apply for employment. The entry time will start from the 17th of last Friday, and the salary will also start from that day.

You will contact me about the specific salary in a while. "

Then he turned his head and looked at the five people again, "Talk about the salary with Sister Sun first, and tell me if you have any questions. If you can accept it, you can sign the contract directly."

The few people didn't know how to respond, and nodded a little bit woodenly.

Then the meeting continued.

"Well, we are now focusing on the upcoming game development. Here I would like to emphasize how important this game is to us. The success of the game means funds, users, and a better start of instant messaging. It means that we can enter a larger market competition earlier.

So I need everyone to focus on the company's first game, and there is only one result I want, success.

So what kind of game are we going to make? "

Meng Qian wrote a few big words on the blackboard: Large-scale online games.

This concept, which is familiar to later generations, was still very unfamiliar in China in 2000.

Meng Qian paid attention to the expressions of the five members of the technical department, they seemed not very familiar with them.

Without asking too much, Meng Qian first made a foreshadowing with the online games "Meridian 59" and "Online Genesis" that have already been released, so that they can get a general idea of ​​the concept of the game they are going to make, especially for the five members of the Academy of Fine Arts. Speaking of it, it can be seen that they have never played.

After everyone had an understanding of "Meridian 59" and "Network Genesis", Meng Qian came up with his own design and let everyone see the many things he added.

For example, the relatively popular "Online Genesis" already has a character system, skill system, props system, scene system, combat system, reputation system, and team system, which are common and basic systems in online games.

The few things that Meng Qian wanted to add in the initial design are:

Dungeon system, PK system, business system, chat system, pet system, of course, the most important krypton gold system is indispensable.

When Meng Qian described the game he wanted to design, the boys at the scene paid more and more attention, because they had never heard of the large-scale online game system described by Meng Qian, and it sounded particularly interesting. attraction.

I can't help but want to play, this is one of their future development motivations.

In fact, if you look carefully, a few girls also listened with great interest, probably because there are cute pets, friends, and clothing that they are interested in.

After introducing the main system and gameplay of the game, Meng Qian returned to the most original topic, "Now let me tell you about the background of this game.

The background of the entire game is our ancient mythology in China. The main plot begins in the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. In missions, dungeons, and various systems, the game will step by step outline a picture scroll of ancient mythology since the creation of Pangu, and will make China Various cultural elements are integrated into it.

Therefore, colleagues in the art department should remember that whether it is character design, pet design, costume design or environmental design, I have one requirement, a high-tech recognizable Chinese style.

Because once this game is successful, it will become the cornerstone of our entire entertainment industry. Based on it, film and television works, animation, and more game industries will be incubated along the way.

That said, the game itself isn't just a game, it's a."

Meng Qian originally wanted to talk about big IP, but after thinking about it, he changed the word to sum it up, "Cultural window.

I want to use the cultural window of the game so that more people can see the cultural heritage in our house. "

The five people in the art department all nodded subconsciously. Before talking about the system, the people in the technology department were naturally more sensitive, but now they are very sensitive when talking about culture, and what Meng Qian said also aroused their strong feelings. resonance.

The Chinese culture is so profound. As an art student, if he has the opportunity to get in touch with it, he will easily become obsessed with Chinese culture.

"Mr. Meng, what's the name of this game?" Si Yuhang asked curiously.

Meng Qian turned his head and glanced at him, ""Biography of the Gods" implies the biography of the ancient gods."

After explaining the game to everyone, Meng Qian went directly to the development process. He first explained his development plan to the people in the technical department, and provided a part of the code he typed some time ago.

The design of the game is a little more difficult than Meng Qian imagined, mainly because he has never been in touch with game development, and the development tools that can be used now are really pitiful.

During this period of time, he was also learning and writing, but he did not lower his requirements for game development.

After distributing the work in the technical department, Meng Qian arranged a place for Fu Qinyi and others who signed the contract in the office area, then turned around and went to the office to bring a cardboard box.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound when the cardboard box collided with the table, and it seemed heavy.

"It's all in English. I don't have the money to find a translator for you. Do you have a way to solve it yourself?"

The five people gathered around under the signal of Meng Qian's eyes, and all the boxes were full of tutorial books and CDs about CG.

But it's all in English.

Seeing the contents of the box clearly, the five people's eyes straightened.

"Mr. Meng, where did you get so many tutorials?" Si Yuhang asked subconsciously.

"My resources are naturally a little more than yours." Meng Qian didn't go into details, but actually asked Ali for help, "The computer should arrive tomorrow, I don't care how you use these things, I just care about a week later, I want to see All the first drafts of the character design, you assign the specific work yourself, is there any problem?"

"No problem!" Everyone responded with a smile.

Meng Qian made a gesture to tell everyone to arrange their own time today.

"Mr. Meng." Just as Meng Qian was about to leave, Fu Qinyi called out, "Are you really only 19 years old?"

"Really, what's the matter?"

"It's all right, I just feel a little unbelievable, it's too powerful."

Meng Qian pointed to the cardboard box, "Spend more time on your career, and when people see you in the future, they will praise you for being able to rely on your looks but rely on your talents."

Fu Qinyi froze for a moment, then immediately turned her head and pretended to be flipping through the tutorials in the cardboard box
