Chapter 521: Jumo Island (Twenty-Seven)

The three of them walked out of the archway of the sacrificial hall and entered a dark tunnel.

The further they walked, the narrower the tunnel became, and soon it became the size of an ordinary corridor. Although there were corners from time to time in the front road, no fork was found.

"Well... by the way." Halfway through the journey, Fei Chai Uncle suddenly remembered something and said to Atobe, "Atobe, there is something I am curious about, I want to ask you."

Atobe was stunned when he heard it, thinking: A player of Fei Chai Uncle's level actually has questions to ask me?

"Ah? What is it?" Atobe replied.

"It's..." Fei Chai Uncle asked, "What type of game studio do you belong to, Hyotei?"

"What type?" Atobe repeated thoughtfully on the surface, but in fact he was muttering in his heart: Are game studios still divided into types?

Obviously... yes.

Roughly speaking, there are four types of game studios.

The first type is the "comprehensive type". Many of these studios are large-scale, financially strong, and star-studded enterprises. Their business scope has long exceeded the field of games. They can guarantee profits by relying on brand effects alone.

The second type is the "talent type". The scale of these studios ranges from small to large. The basic concept is to be people-oriented, to cultivate outstanding star players as the core concept, and to obtain considerable income by exporting talents.

The third type is the "commercial type", which is a relatively marginal type. Not everyone is capable of doing it, but those who do it well do make a lot of money. This type of studio does not have high requirements for the gaming skills of employees. What they need are players who are patient, good at observation and analysis, and have excellent social skills. They treat games as shopping malls to attack, and make money by hyping virtual items, controlling prices, buying and selling intelligence, etc., which is also a different way.

The fourth type is the "practical type", which small and medium-sized studios usually belong to. Their main business is the most basic part of the industry - training (or leading) and gold. Basically, they are rough jobs that are not very glamorous and pleasant. After doing it for a long time, it becomes a mechanized operation, which makes people feel tired and boring. Moreover... to do this job, you have to endure all kinds of abuse and accusations, because their way of playing games is purely for the pursuit of efficiency, so they often destroy the gaming experience of other players. Even if they are called "locusts", they can't refute it.

The above information. It is relatively basic knowledge. In 2055. If you want to work in the game industry, whether you are a player or open your own studio, you must master this content. If you can't even figure out the basic positioning, then entering the industry is undoubtedly digging your own grave.

Seeing this. I believe everyone has already felt it vaguely... That's right. Master Atobe. Or... Jin Fugui, just jumped into the tide of this game industry without knowing anything.

Fortunately... his family is quite wealthy. It also allows him to make some mistakes.

Jin Fugui's father has been in business for many years and is a sensible man. He thinks it's quite open: if his son wants to start a game studio, let him do it. After all, it is a legal industry and the investment required is not high. Even if I can't make a name for myself, I won't lose much money. Anyway... it's better than staying at home after graduating from college.

So, with full of enthusiasm, longing and ignorance, Atobe began his gaming career...

"It's... that kind..." Atobe stammered, "There are relatively few people, but the strength is pretty good... that kind..."

"Oh, are you going the elite route? That's the 'talent type'." Honghu continued, "Eh? Speaking of which... why hasn't your studio's official website been online yet?"

"Uh... that..." Atobe replied with a somewhat embarrassed look, "Because the company was established not long ago... and the business in the game is quite busy..."

In fact... if there is no If someone reminds him, he might not even remember to build a homepage for his studio in half a year...

"I see." Hong Hu didn't doubt anything, but just said, "Well... it's understandable. A small studio has few people, so there will be problems of all kinds."

"In fact, it's amazing to be able to maintain normal operations." Fei Chaishu continued: "I admire Ji Bu a lot. He has become the boss of a studio at such a young age. I guess he has taken out a lot of bank loans, right? Haha..."

"Uh... it's... it's okay..." Ji Bu was really embarrassed to say that he was a rich second generation in this atmosphere.

"Hehe... don't worry. Back then, guys like Shiva and Dao Jianxiao also started their own businesses at about the same age as you. Aren't they all big names now?" Hong Hu said with a smile, "Your studio has just started, and there are players like 'Taking Name' sitting in, the future is bright." He paused, "But... since it is a talent-based studio, connections are very important. Even if it's just for show, you have to recruit more employees. After the newcomers grow up, you and the core team can get out and run those offline trivial matters."

"Yeah, I see..." Ji Bu nodded in response.

"How about this, after the script is over, let's add each other as friends. I still know some friends in the circle, some of the individual professional players with good strength, I can introduce them to you." Hong Hu continued.

"Oh! That's really a timely help!" Ji Bu said with shining eyes, "Thank you very much."

"Haha... You're welcome..." Honghu said with a smile, "Although my friends are very talented, their qualifications are too low. They failed to apply for resumes in well-known studios, and they are not interested in those small and medium-sized 'practical' studios. If you don’t catch a cold, go to some strange small studios... just for the fear of being cheated. If you are willing to accept them, it’s a win-win situation.”

"Well... we don't know each other very well... aren't you afraid that I am also a black-hearted boss who exploits my employees?" Atobe asked with a smile.

"It doesn't look like it." The good-for-nothing uncle took over the conversation at this time and said, "I'm pretty good at judging people. Although we haven't been in contact with each other for a long time, neither you nor the three of them are..." The kind of guy who comes out of the studio.”

"Well, I think so too." Honghu continued.

"Okay... I'll just take it as a compliment." Atobe replied.

Atobe's nightmare in this team was really not in vain. Not to mention whether he could get the clearance reward in the end, at least he had other more practical gains.

"Oh, I also have something to ask you." At this time, Atobe felt that it was time to change the subject, so he said to the good-for-nothing uncle, "As for you exposing the imitation soul before... At that time, your basis was really only Is it just a gesture?"

"That's right, it's just that." Uncle Good-for-nothing replied.

Atobe said, "Where does your confidence come from..."

The good-for-nothing uncle hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Haha... Actually the reason is very simple, because I have studied the video of the peak battle many times, and I have made very detailed observations of each player's fighting style. . Especially those subtle habitual movements and instantaneous reactions when faced with critical situations... I watched them frame by frame."

Honghu immediately responded: "Ah...Brother Chai, you have done a good job in your homework."

"Haha... each other." Uncle Good-for-nothing laughed, "You must have studied it as much as me."

At this point, the two sharp eyes briefly touched and then separated quickly. it is more than words……

Only Atobe was watching silently, and he couldn't help but think...the two professional players in front of him who competed in the game in their own name had achieved this level. On the other hand, I am the leader of a game studio, but until now, I have basically been playing games with the concept of "making money by playing".

Zhen Ge, Lao Chi and Xiao Ming can hold this mentality, because their job is to play games, and they do a very good job. It can be said that they have fully possessed the qualities of professional players. There is only one thing they can do - use their gaming capabilities to support this studio.

But Atobe is different. He is the investor, decision-maker and operator of the studio. What he has to do is far from being accomplished within the game.

At this moment, Atobe suddenly realized...why his three bad friends never rehearsed scripts with him, and always said ruthlessly, "You are so weak, please get off the line immediately" and the like.

In fact... it's not that they don't want to play games with their good brothers, and they definitely don't think the level of the Ministry is low. They just want Atobe to do what really needs to be done. Because they are no longer the four students cooped up in the dormitory. They are adults who have stepped into society and need to rely on games to survive.

The three of them already understood the difficulty of naming, but Atobe didn't understand. He seemed to have not grown up yet...

After all...he was just "playing". Playing with your youth and your family's money. The so-called "studio" is just a cover with a halo of "dream and entrepreneurship", which allows him to continue to stay with his good brothers and play games all day long...

Now that he thinks about it...he is not worthy of being this "boss" at all. He rarely does the boring investigation and research work, and never formulates any detailed and long-term game plan. The studio's schedule is almost day by day...

"I'm such an immature idiot..." Atobe thought to himself, "I'm neither a qualified leader... nor a qualified professional player..." He let out a long breath and looked up. Looking at the two senior players walking side by side with him, he said, "A real profession requires qualities like these two... Otherwise, how can you have the dignity to call yourself a profession..."

He couldn't help but think of a classic movie line - nothing is easy in the adult world.

"Hey! Look over there!" Suddenly, Honghu stopped and raised the flashlight and said.

His words brought Atobe's thoughts back to the script in front of him.

The good-for-nothing uncle also put on a vigilant posture and looked intently in the direction pointed by Honghu.

But I saw... a flash of green light appeared at the far end of the corridor, and slowly approached... (To be continued...)
