Chapter 188 Notorious (Part 2)

At 3:15 in the afternoon, the plane of Lufthansa finally landed at Shuangliu Airport, and the passengers on the plane were quite satisfied with the arrival of the plane on time.

The 18-hour flight time made everyone very tired. Walking on the ground, you can still feel the slight shaking of the bumps.

The domestic stewardess below politely brought everyone onto the shuttle bus. Just as she turned around and was about to go back to pack her things, she almost fell when she turned around, and was then gently supported by an old man over fifty years old.

"Thank you." The flight attendant said with lingering fear.

"You're welcome." The old man replied fluently in Chinese.

His Mandarin is very idiomatic, and he does not have a common Prussian accent. If you just listen to his voice, you won't even think he is a foreigner.

But if you see each other, you will find that he must like pandas very much.

He is wearing a panda sun hat, carrying a small panda backpack, and his clothes are also printed with panda patterns. Even the sightseeing brochure in his hand is an introduction to the panda training base.

After getting on the shuttle bus, he continued to read the brochure. After arriving at the station, he took his luggage. After leaving the station, he looked at the exit for a long time, but he didn't see the familiar Mediterranean bald head.

After watching in confusion for a while, it took him a long time to see someone in the crowd holding a huge sign with his name, "Hoffman" written on it.

The person holding the sign looked familiar, he looked like his old buddy, Mr. Shen, but his old friend shouldn't have so much hair.

Just when he was thinking about who the other party was, the other party had already approached here, and said dissatisfiedly as he walked, "Hoffman, you saw me, why didn't you react at all."

Hoffman was still vigilantly looking at the creature similar to Mr. Shen in front of him.

facial features, like...

clothing, like...

sound like...

Volume, not like that.

Taking a step back, he asked vigilantly, "Who are you and why do you know my name?"

"Stop making trouble." Teacher Shen said helplessly, "I am old Shen."

"My best friend, Old Shen, doesn't have so much hair."

"People, everything changes."

"You once said that hair transplant is your last insistence, and you will never wear a wig."

"It's not a wig, and it's not Gui, but myself. Well, you just want to play this meme, right? "Gintama" is over, come with me."

Only then did Hoffman hug Teacher Shen in a friendly manner, and then looked at Teacher Shen's hair in amazement, knowing for the first time that human beings really have the possibility of defeating baldness.

Teacher Shen's current hair is just like Fangcheng's leeks, dignified and straight, and each hair proudly puffs out his chest, showing his strong figure.

After watching it for a while, Hoffman said with emotion: "Yes..."

"Not bad." Teacher Shen stroked her hair proudly but carefully, "Okay, where to go next. Let me tell you first, I can't go to the panda training base, and I didn't make an appointment for you."

"That's it..."

"I can't go to the hot pot for the time being, it's too early, I'll talk about it later..."

"That's it."

His thoughts were seen through, Hoffman was not too embarrassed, but said directly: "Let's go to Fangcheng Studio first."

"Okay, let me say something first."

"No, let's just take a look from a distance. Old Shen, you have an old saying that the villain is first and the gentleman second. Even if the other party is your student, I will not take care of it too much. If I don't like the other party's behavior style , then I will leave immediately, and I will find other people to do the game release before, but I will not help."

"No problem." Old Shen said confidently, "Let's go."

Hoffman leaned in the back row and closed his eyes to rest while taking an online car-hailing service, while Teacher Shen sat on the side and did not contact Fang Cheng.

He knew that his old friend Hoffman was an upright old man and the vice-chairman of the Prussian game industry trade union. He hated overtime in the game industry.

The exploitation of the game industry is serious domestically, and it is equally serious abroad.

Because there are too many emotional components in the game, many foreign game studios often use things like "using love to generate electricity" to make their employees work overtime for free.

Moreover, the halo of foreign producers is relatively heavy. Some producers talk about giving their juniors better learning opportunities, but in fact they force their juniors to work for free through suppression and other means, and even brainwash the other party to make themselves "for the other party's good". illusion.

Since games are usually backed by large-scale capital, individual power is extremely limited in front of capital, so the game union is an organization that strives to unite game practitioners, hoping to unite gamers from all over the world to form a group that can fight against capital .

This organization has its own branches in Europe and America, but it is still blank in China, and there are no relevant personnel involved for the time being.

From Shuangliu Airport to the high-tech zone, it was already 4:50 when they arrived at their destination.

Putting the luggage at the service desk of a nearby shopping mall, Hoffman saw machines placed on the indoor plaza floor of the shopping mall, and the screens outside the machines played the game screen in a loop, which looked quite exciting.

There are people waiting outside the machine, and these people seem to know each other, and they are still exchanging the usage of different machines, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Although Hoffman is in his early fifties, he can't play many exciting games and exciting games, but he still likes to watch the anchors play this type of games, and he nods frequently for the game screens.

"Good game screen, reminds me of the arcade when I was a kid. Which game manufacturer is this?"

"Fangcheng studio." Mr. Shen said proudly.

"oh……"

Hoffman nodded, knowing why Teacher Shen admired Fang Cheng so much.

The graphics alone are not inferior to first-line masterpieces, and although the arcade machine method is a bit unpopular, judging from the flow of people, each machine can basically be kept at full capacity, and the income is quite a lot.

In terms of the criteria for judging a good game, he has the same opinion as Mr. Shen.

Making money is not necessarily a good game, but a good game must be able to make money.

Games that cannot make money will be classified as works of art by him, and he will agree with the other party's artistic concept, but he does not think it is a good game.

Fangcheng's "Squirrel Spaceship" is a good game.

Although he hasn't met each other yet, the games he saw made him feel good about Fangcheng Studio.

After admiring it for a while, he said to Mr. Shen: "Let's go, we can go and see their studio."

"It's late." Teacher Shen said helplessly looking at the time, "They're off work."

"...not working overtime?"

"No overtime."

Hoffman looked at Mr. Shen suspiciously, with ten thousand disbeliefs in his heart.

But when he walked to the door of Fangcheng's studio and saw the deserted studio, he had to believe that his old friend was telling the truth.

There was no one in the studio, except for a three-colored cat licking the back of his hand, completely ignoring the two people outside.

Standing beside Hoffman, Teacher Shen asked, "Do you want me to call and ask for you?"

"No... no, let's fight."

Teacher Shen then dialed the phone and asked, "Fang Cheng, the person in charge of the overseas publisher I told you about is here. Are you interested in coming over to meet now?"

"Yes, but no time? Why? Don't want to do things outside of work hours?"

"But this matter is very important. Shouldn't it be okay? All right. Then we'll come over tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Teacher Shen shrugged: "As you can see, no."

"Not bad." Hoffman widened his eyes and said with emotion, "It's rare to see such a principled person. Did you tell him that I am the vice chairman of the trade union?"

"We don't care much about that."

"Oh, yes."

Although rejected, Hoffman was quite happy.

This behavior of adhering to his own principles and absolutely not working overtime made him quite satisfied, and he was also full of confidence in the future cooperation.

They went to a famous hot pot restaurant near Yulin West Road to eat hot pot, drank some beer in a nearby tavern, and then went back to the hotel for a pleasant sleep.

After waking up, Hoffman dispelled yesterday's fatigue, put on his plaid suit, and then went to Fangcheng Studio with Mr. Shen.

After seeing Fangcheng, Hoffman wowed.

The producer in front of him looked very attractive, and Teacher Shen on the side looked at Hoffman's reaction with satisfaction, and then asked, "Do you have the same demeanor as I did back then?"

"No, he doesn't like bragging."

While Hoffman was looking at Fang Cheng, Fang Cheng was also observing the other party.

The other party was a sturdy Prussian with an eye-catching beard, and his appearance was somewhat similar to a certain great Prussian in the textbook.

After introducing each other, Hoffman looked at the size of the studio, and then asked suspiciously: "Are there only eight of you?"

"Yes, enough. Basically, I provide a framework, and my colleagues help to complete it." Fang Cheng replied with a smile.

"We came here at 5:21 yesterday, when you were off work. Is it like this every day, or just occasionally?"

"Every day."

Hoffman asked a few more questions, and then found that Fang Cheng answered quickly and in a timely manner, and there was no sign of lying.

Through the glass of the conference room, he looked at the other people outside and found that everyone was engaged and efficient at work.

These people have not fished, and have not stopped. If there is a problem that causes the card owner, they will quickly ask the opinions of the people around them, and they can get answers quickly.

Their intensity is high, but everyone seems to be having a good time, and it doesn't look like they're doing work, but going about their business.

This is a very dynamic company with great potential, Hoffman asserts.

After observing for a while, Hoffman asked curiously: "Fang Cheng, I saw that your colleagues are full of enthusiasm in doing things, so I am a little curious, how do you manage?"

"Normal management." Fang Cheng replied, "Normal commute to and from get off work, normal holidays, normal salary, and normal salary and bonus increases."

"That's it."

Hoffman nodded.

The normal here is actually the biggest abnormality.

Many Prussian game companies cannot do this. Many studios even require employees to live on the floor, and the treatment is not much better than that in China.

After understanding all this, Hoffman found that the environment here is better than he imagined.

If there is no problem with the basic environment, then it will be dinner.

Under Fang Cheng's arrangement, Hoffman sat in front of a computer, turned on the computer, and started running Omen.

Although the company's all-in-one VR machine can also run, Hoffman is a 50-year-old man after all, so it's better to use a computer for this kind of thing.

The game's setting interface can already change the language. After discovering that Prussian is also available here, Hoffman's favor with Fangcheng Studio has once again increased a lot.

After the opening animation appeared, the old game producer suddenly widened his eyes and was amazed at the picture on the screen.

With lifelike modeling and pictures full of antiquity, the first glance of the game is amazing, just like his wife from thirty years ago, which arouses reverie and makes people dream about.

However, image deception is common, and many big companies are not exempt, just like his wife is now...

Putting aside those personal matters for the time being, he focused on the game, and later found that the translation of this game was too good.

The voice of the characters is still in Chinese, but Prussian subtitles will be added to the dialogue, and slang is specially used in many places, and even some examples are examples that Prussians can understand, which makes Hoffman's favor for the game once again improved.

Moreover, the content of the game does not deliberately cater to overseas players, but fully demonstrates its own national characteristics and shows its unique charm.

Even players who are accustomed to watching myths and their own fantasy can feel the charm through the screen, and then integrate into this game full of oriental charm.

After seeing Hoffman quickly immersed in the game as soon as he sat down, Teacher Shen was also a little moved.

Drinking the tea in Fangcheng's studio, he looked at Fangcheng and asked, "Fangcheng, arrange a machine for me too."

Fang Cheng didn't agree immediately, but looked at the other party and asked: "Mr. Shen, have you been a little irregular lately?"

"Yeah, how did you see that?" Teacher Shen asked in surprise.

"And I drank too much yesterday, I didn't sleep well, did you?"

Sniffing his sleeve, Mr. Shen felt that he didn't drink that much.

Why would it be smelled?

But immediately, he reacted and continued to ask: "What does this have to do with the machine?"

"Horror games, players with irregular heartbeats are best not to play."

"...Is it really a horror game? Isn't it a horror game with a horror label?"

"no."

Teacher Shen frowned and looked at Fang Cheng, not believing that the other party really knew how to play horror games.

But soon, he believed it.

In less than half an hour, Hoffman uttered an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound, and then a series of Prussian words, which made Mr. Shen never see such an old friend who lost his composure.

The elegant vice-chairman of the guild, at this time, completely lost the gentleness of the time, twisted his thigh with a distorted face, and then said bitterly: "The plot planning of this game should be shot."

Beside him, Huang Ping nodded in agreement.

Tang Mo, your notoriety has spread from China to Prussia.
