Chapter 134: Bad Review Training Class!
Half an hour later, Zhou Yizhou stepped into the office on the 35th floor again.
He didn't expect that after he finished discussing the welfare distribution with Lin Xiaoxiao,
Mr. Lu suddenly asked him to come over, saying that he had a new task, and his tone was quite mysterious.
"Mr. Lu."
"Here comes Old Zhou!"
Lu Ming looked up, put down the documents in his hand, and pointed at the sofa in front of him with a smile.
"Sit down. I want to talk to you about some...new directions today."
"Okay, Mr. Lu, are there any new projects?"
Zhou Yizhou was a little curious and excited. He was looking forward to Mr. Lu's new direction.
Although he has been free for a while recently,
But the maintenance of Time Journey is very stable.
The team is stable, the profits are in place, and the benefits are distributed in a regular manner.
There’s plenty of time to work on new projects!
Lu Ming looked at Old Zhou,
Old Zhou is still the same as before, neat, steady and organized.
Although it is not the kind of planner who can do fancy things, it is stable enough.
For such people, it is enough as long as they can maintain their original intention!
Lu Ming knew very well that there was no problem for Lao Zhou to lead "Time Journey".
But the question now is whether we can bring out a group of "future time travelers"
Looking at Lao Zhou, Lu Ming shook his head.
"no."
"It's a... meaningful thing."
"Meaningful"
"Do you feel that?"
Lu Ming unscrewed a can of sugar-free cola from the refrigerator and handed one to Lao Zhou, saying calmly:
"Our company has been growing bigger and bigger recently."
"There are more people, more money, and more popularity."
"but……"
He paused, took a sip of Coke, and then suddenly said quietly:
"The company's subsequent development and subsequent talent training are still insufficient!"
Zhou Yizhou was puzzled.
Jingyue has only been established for a short time, but it's already focusing on talent development? Is Mr. Lu thinking so far ahead?
"So, now I want to get some... inheritance."
"Inheritance"
"right."
"Old Zhou, we at Jingyue can't have only a few people who know how to make games."
“We need to train more people!”
Lu Ming sat behind his desk, his tone unhurried but his eyes were serious.
Zhou Yizhou frowned slightly, not understanding the deep meaning of these words for a moment.
"Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean. Talent is indeed a hurdle that all companies cannot avoid, but..."
"We're not short of staff right now, are we? Several project teams are already staffed, and we're also training interns and new graduates..."
"It's not that we're short of people."
Lu Ming waved his hand.
"We're short of people who understand how our company makes games."
"Look, many game developers nowadays are not incapable of work, nor do they lack ideas."
"But many new planners start by saying, 'I want to make a game with millions of downloads, I want it to get rave reviews, and I want it to have over 100 million in revenue...'"
"These words are too big! And too unrealistic!"
"It sounds right to say these things, but the problem is, they don't know how to make players like them."
"They don't even understand what user emotions are, they just want to make things feel good, and the products they produce have no basis at all."
"So, I've always felt that someone should systematically explain how to make games!"
"And you are the one I like the most!"
After listening to Lu Ming's words, Zhou Yizhou felt inexplicably excited and had a headache.
The person Mr. Lu favors the most...is me?
However, the task that Mr. Lu mentioned is indeed too heavy!
This is to let him be a teacher and spread the idea!
This burden is heavy!
Besides, he was a little weak.
After all, he has not participated in many game projects.
The only thing I can say about the hard journey in the past is that I was able to complete the turnaround under the guidance of Mr. Lu.
Now that he is responsible for this task, he is afraid that he can't handle it!
Zhou Yizhou held the unfinished bottle of Coke, frowned slightly, and whispered:
"Boss Lu, this task... is too heavy."
"I'm afraid that if I teach others without fully understanding it myself, I won't be misleading them."
"Don't underestimate my current reputation, but honestly, 'A Journey Through Time' would have been ruined without your guidance."
"Now let me lead a group of new people! Without you watching over me, I feel a little weak."
Lu Ming looked at him and suddenly smiled.
He has a certain responsibility for the success of "Time Journey".
But the most important thing is that Lao Zhou performed well!
So, this training class still has to be led by Lao Zhou!
"No, Lao Zhou, you are definitely the most suitable one!"
"Let me tell you, the most important thing in our class is not teaching techniques, but teaching concepts!"
"Let me give you an example. I've always believed that making games starts with 'understanding what it means to be disliked.'"
"Just like the first lesson in martial arts is not about throwing a punch, but about learning to be punched."
"It's the same with making games. You have to first understand what kind of design will make players unhappy, feel insulted, and rebel."
"Then think about whether this rebellion is worth it."
"If it's worth it, you keep it."
“If it’s not worth it, optimize it.”
“That’s called designing with trade-offs.”
"You can't just start by thinking about making things comfortable and everyone agrees on them. That's what the service industry does, not creative work!"
Zhou Yizhou listened but didn't respond.
But he held the bottle of Coke tightly.
Mr. Lu is imparting his own creative ideas!
Lu Ming continued:
"When we make games, we can't just think about not getting criticized. We have to experience the criticism we deserve and the bumps we're supposed to make first."
"If you don't understand what's behind the criticism, you'll never know what the players really care about."
At this point, Lu Ming's eyes gradually became serious:
"So I always feel that the game planning industry should be questioned."
"You even have to take the initiative to experience the whole process of being questioned."
“It’s not about pandering.”
“It’s to experience it.”
"I've always believed that the role of game planner is most similar to that of an actor."
"You acted too realistically, and people scolded you."
"Your acting is so fake, people are scolding you."
"The acting is just right, it can make people cry, laugh, and buy krypton."
"This requires internal skills."
"And our training class is a place to practice the mind method."
The office was quiet for a moment.
Zhou Yizhou tried hard to digest the ideas conveyed by Mr. Lu, and several works of Jingyue also passed by his eyes one by one.
These projects seem to be based on Mr. Lu’s ideas!
Moreover, they all succeeded!
Then Mr. Lu should be a master-level game producer!
And now, Mr. Lu has handed this set of things to me without reservation!
I'm so touched! With Mr. Lu by my side, I never feel tired!
Across from him, Lu Ming took a sip of Coke, leaned back in his chair, and said in a leisurely tone:
"Don't overthink it. Our class isn't that big."
"You can start by selecting a few people from within the company and setting up a small class."
“The number of people is not important; the key is to have the right concept.”
"If your company doesn't have enough employees, you can always look for nearby universities to recruit new talent. You're already very familiar with those anyway!"
"You can choose any training venue or office area, and you can apply for equipment directly from the administration department."
"Just teach them the concepts and how to make the game, and design the courseware yourself! Let's try it out first!"
"Let's see who can adjust their thinking amidst the controversy."
"When the time comes, we'll directly invest in projects that perform well and turn them into specific operational projects. This will be very beneficial to both the company and individuals!"
The air was quiet for a moment.
Zhou Yizhou nodded without saying anything.
But his eyes showed that he was already thinking about how to prepare lessons.
What Mr. Lu said makes sense!
Talent cultivation is the core competitiveness!
I must share Mr. Lu’s worries!
Lu Ming looked at him thinking and added softly:
"Just take it at your own pace."
"You taught that."
"Our negative review training class is worth it."
Zhou Yizhou took a deep breath and agreed completely.
"I understand, Mr. Lu!"
"This class...I'll lead it."
