Chapter 68 Call Jiao Liang and Wei Chen over Wu Mu was hired as chief designer at Mingyu Game Company. But after all, I was recording a show, and I was just the chief designer for one day. So no one really regarded Wu Mu as the general manager of their company. Everyone thought that since Wu Mu had successfully applied for the job, he would just get away with it today. At most, he could create trouble for Wei Chen and act like the chief designer in front of other employees to create some show effects. But who would have thought that less than half an hour after Wu Mu took office. He called the company's copywriter into his office. The company's copywriter was confused and obviously didn't understand why Wu Mu called him. Wu Mu looked at him, and without further ado, he pointed directly at a paragraph in the company's back-end log on the computer and asked him, "Who wrote this copy?"
The copywriter looked at where Wu Mu pointed, and saw a monologue from the game: "Although it's tiring, this is probably the life of ordinary people." He didn't understand, "What's going on here?" Wu Mu said directly: "Change it. This part does not fit the overall direction of the game. Don't exaggerate it in this direction in the future." Change it? The copywriter immediately frowned. No, how long have you joined our company? Only half an hour. You're just an experience-seeking chief designer for a day, and you're already meddling in their company's serious work. The copywriter was not very happy. I feel that this person is just fooling around. Even if he is the newly appointed chief designer, it doesn't make sense for him to start arranging work within half an hour. Is this enough time for you to understand what we are doing? Although he recognized Wu Mu's previous programming ability, that did not mean he would also approve of Wu Mu's current arrangement. There are so many people in their company, who have been busy for more than half a year, but they didn’t think there was anything wrong with this direction. And you, an experience designer, can see the problem in just half an hour? Ah. The copywriter's previous good impression of Wu Mu was gone, and he said stiffly, "What's wrong here? I think there's no problem." Wu Mu looked him up and down, clicked his tongue, and sensed the resistance in his tone. You don't even listen to why you were asked to change it, and you think it's okay? Wu Mu was too lazy to argue with him, "If you think there is no problem, then there is something wrong with your ability. Go and call Jiao Liang and Wei Chen over to me." Call Jiao Liang and Wei Chen over? Oh, what a big rack. How long have you been in this position and you're already ordering the boss around? If you were really given this job for a few more days, you would definitely be in big trouble. The copywriter was even more dissatisfied with Wu Mu. The good impression he had from before was completely gone, and only disgust remained. He sneered and walked out.
Lin Qingyue, who was filming nearby, looked at him strangely. What is Wu Mu doing? For show effects? Isn't it a bit unpleasant to do a show in a way that interferes with official work? Probably a few minutes later. Jiao Liang, Wei Chen and the previous copywriter soon came to Wu Mu's office together. Wei Chen, who already had a bad impression of Wu Mu, frowned. It was obvious that he had the same idea as the copywriter, wondering if Wu Mu was meddling in other people's affairs. Jiao Liang, on the other hand, was more calm, as he felt that Wu Mu was not the kind of person who would joke about such things. Seeing them, Wu Mu didn't hesitate and still pointed at the previous copy and said: "This is not the right direction. If your copywriting and marketing continue in this direction, it will definitely cause backlash." Jiao Liang looked at the copy, looking left and right but still couldn't figure out what the problem was. "The theme of our game is all living things, what's wrong with the direction of this copy?" The main core of this game of Mingyu Game is the various lives and occupations of all living beings. The selling point is the part-time job content that is real and credible and fits reality, and the artistic style that is close to reality. Honestly, they did a great job in this regard, and it really differentiated their game from other games. It has a unique texture. but. Wu Mu shook his head and said, "You can use these as the core and selling points, but you can't actively promote them yourself." He explained in detail, "Because this conflicts with your game mechanics. According to the setting in your game, the protagonist is a rural migrant worker who comes to the city to work with the dream of getting ahead. There is nothing wrong with this background, but in the game, for the sake of gameplay, in order to prevent the value from increasing too quickly and to ensure the game time, you set a mood value setting." "This mood value needs the game character to engage in various entertainment activities to satisfy it, and it needs to be satisfied very frequently. Basically, some entertainment activities must be carried out every day to maintain it." "What kind of phenomenon will this cause? The protagonist keeps saying that he wants to make a name for himself, to make money to buy a big house for his family, and to let his parents live a good life. But at the same time, in order to maintain his mood, he needs to go to the park every day, go to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet, eat well, dress well, and live well." Wu Mu spread his hands and said, "Do you think this setting is contradictory? Will the players think that the protagonist is pretentious?" "If you don't exaggerate and market it, people can still understand that this is a game mechanic designed for gameplay, but if you market it as the life of the working people and the protagonist is just like everyone else, then it's definitely over. It would be strange if people don't criticize you miserably." After listening to Wu Mu's long speech, Jiao Liang was stunned. Wei Chenren standing next to him was also stunned. After being stunned for a few seconds, sweat immediately broke out on their foreheads. The people in charge were in a confused state. They had been thinking about how to better highlight their selling points, and did not notice that the mechanism they created to extend the game time actually had such a big conflict with the core. Several of them were veteran game players, and once Wu Mu pointed it out, they instantly realized that what Wu Mu said was definitely not alarmist. What Wu Mu described would really happen. No one can empathize with a protagonist who says he works hard but complains about not eating well or sleeping well every day. If this matter really gets out of hand, it will directly destroy the core selling point of their game. If the character of the protagonist can't even stand up, how can we expect players to empathize with the theme of ordinary people? The more Jiao Liang thought about it, the more he felt that this was not a small problem. His expression immediately became serious. He looked at the copywriter and said, "Tell everyone to gather in the conference room for the meeting."
"I'll go call everyone now!" The copywriter was already sweating profusely. He never dreamed that Wu Mu was not just meddling in other people's affairs. He actually meant it. No, brother, in less than half an hour, you discovered such a huge hidden danger in our game? Is your ability so strong? Jiao Liang and Wei Chen were undoubtedly surprised when they looked at Wu Mu. It turned out that he was just a one-day chief designer hired to promote the game, and he was not expected to play any role at all. I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, they found such a big loophole? Lin Qingyue, who was standing nearby, could only sigh in her heart as she watched the scenes recorded by the photographer. This Wu Mu show has so many highlights, you don't have to worry about it being a dull show or having no effect when filming him. This guy has done so many wonderful things that she is starting to have a headache about how to arrange his time. She also had a new understanding of Wu Mu's previous suggestion that if she couldn't be a star, she could start a gaming company. He seems to be really capable. All the employees of Mingyu Game Company soon gathered in the conference room. After listening to Jiao Liang's explanation of the whole process, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They hadn't discovered this problem before. If Wu Mu hadn't reminded them, they would have definitely waited until the problem broke out before they realized it. (End of this chapter)
