Chapter 283 A game that will definitely win an award!

Wang Ya is indeed beautiful. I guess it has little to do with Comrade Wang’s genes. It’s simply because her mother’s genes are better.

However, Chen Ba was not very interested in this.

Chen Ba thought that there was something Yang Dong once said that was very correct, which was that when you have others in your heart, no matter how good other people are, they have no place.

"Please stop it!"

After learning about Brother Ba's experience, Yang Dong couldn't help but complain: "At least I had a relationship, what's yours? Bai Yueguang is married and you're still thinking about her?"

"Who misses her?"

Chen Ba had a headache and said, "So in your eyes, I am actually a thief?"

"Isn't it?"

Chen Ba: “…”

This is somewhat stereotyped. He can't let go of his white moonlight, but she is already married and has children. How could he do something to destroy other people's families?

"Then why do you keep snooping around in other people's social media posts?"

"Is it not okay to miss youth?"

Chen Ba said speechlessly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense today? Has the spectator bug of "Star Emperor 2" been fixed?"

"No, I'm too lazy to fix it!"

"Anyway, the lack of a spectator function won't have much impact on the gaming experience, so we'll talk about it later!"

Yang Dong said nonchalantly, "Besides, my wedding is about to take place. You, a black-hearted boss, not only don't give me a holiday, but you also have the nerve to ask me to work overtime for you?"

"I forgot..."

Chen Ba suddenly realized, "I almost forgot that your wedding is almost here. Go and do your thing. I'll let Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei take care of the company."

"It's okay. I'm not busy."

Yang Dong said casually: "Both sides' parents and relatives, there are many people helping to arrange it, why do I need to do it myself?"

What's more, if parents and relatives are too busy or can't help, aren't there professional wedding companies? Yang Dong has also made a lot of efforts to develop Tianba Studio to its current scale. He also has some shares in the studio. According to the valuation, he is also a millionaire with a net worth of over 100 million.

Although these shares cannot be exchanged for money for the time being, his salary and bonuses over the years are not small. He is a real bachelor, and it is no big deal for him to have a wedding arranged by spending some money.

"That's true..."

Chen Ba nodded. He had never been married, so he didn't know much about this aspect. He thought every newlywed couple was very busy.

Now it seems that the so-called newlyweds are busy only because of money. If they are really rich, like Yang Dong, they will have someone to take care of their food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom during the entire wedding. What a waste of time...

"By the way, how much did you give as a wedding gift?" Chen Ba was very curious about this.

Yang Dong’s wife is from the same city as him. Chen Ba doesn’t know the customs and habits there, so he is very curious whether Yang Dong was cheated in terms of the bride price.

"5201314!"

Yang Dong smiled and said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law said they didn't need to give it, but my parents said it was just a formality, so they made up a festive number."

Oh my god!

Chen Ba was shocked when he heard the number. At first, he thought that Yang Dong's father-in-law and mother-in-law were asking for too much. But after hearing his subsequent explanation, he couldn't help but wonder, "You mean, originally there was no need for a betrothal gift, or did your parents take the initiative to add it in?"

"Yes, it is true."

Yang Dong explained: "Don't get me wrong, this is just a formality. In fact, neither of our two families cares about this. In the end, the money was given to me and my wife."

"That's fine..."

Yang Dongyue's parents were so easy to talk to, probably because they saw how capable their son-in-law was. Chen Ba guessed that if they had a son-in-law they disliked, things might not be so simple.

"Don't worry, you are already of such status and wealth, why are you afraid of the gift?"

Yang Dong was speechless and said, "To be honest, if you tell others about your name Chen Ba, all the mothers-in-law in Jiangning will not ask you for a betrothal gift, and they may even have to pay for it."

"Hahaha!"

When Chen Ba heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The words may be rough, but the truth is there. For Chen Ba, this is probably the truth.

Putting aside other things, if he married a woman like Wang Ya, Comrade Wang would be the first to pay for her. What kind of gift? Do you want a dowry?

"Then why don't you do it?"

Yang Dong glanced at him and said, "She's a typical white, rich and beautiful girl, with a good personality and not a troublemaker. If you miss this one, where can you find another one?"

"Let's talk about it later."

Chen Ba didn't really want to respond to this, because deep down, he didn't want to have a girlfriend right now. After all, his dream had not yet come true.

At this point, Chen Ba suddenly sighed and said, "By the way, this year is another year when our studio has no income, right?"

"It's like this..."

Yang Dong knew what Brother Ba’s dream was, which was to step onto the stage of the gaming industry’s Oscars, that is, the TGA awards ceremony, and announce to the world that Tianba Studio had reached the top.

Unfortunately, over the years, Brother Ba has always been just a little bit short of his dream.

"Global Evolution" is the closest that Brother Ba has ever gotten to his dream. He even got nominated, but unfortunately he lost in the end due to a game bug.

As for subsequent games such as "Cultivation Fantasy" and "Ancestral Tree", they won a lot of small awards, but they were never able to win the big prize that Brother Ba really wanted.

Yang Dong also analyzed it.

Are the quality of these games produced by Tianba Studio not good?

Not at all! The quality of these games is absolutely excellent, they are well received by players, and they have the potential and qualifications to win awards in all aspects.

But the reason why it has suffered repeated setbacks and received few nominations for major awards is simply that the games under Tianba Studio are "too unstable."

That’s right!

The game is not stable enough and there are always various serious bugs. This is the key factor that affects Tianba Studio's chance of winning the award.

"I know, but..."

Chen Ba smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want this to happen either, but accidents always happen, and I can't do anything about it."

Of course he knew that with Tianba Studio's current influence and game quality, if it really wanted to win an award, it would have been put up by the judges long ago.

The reason why I couldn’t get it is that I was worried that the winning game would have some “shocking” bug the next day after the award was presented.

This kind of thing would be a low-probability event if it happened to other game companies, but for Tianba Studio, it was something that was bound to happen.

"Then help me think about it. What should I do to make everyone put aside their prejudices and give me the Game of the Year Award?"

"Well..."

Yang Dong said with a headache: "There is only one possibility, that is, this game is a dimensionality reduction attack on other games. You have no competitors, and even if there are some incredible bugs, it will not affect your winning."

Yes, if you can't make the game stable and convince the judges that there will be no problems with the game, then eliminate other competitors and become the only candidate for the award!

This way there is no suspense.

After all, all the competitors have been eliminated, and this award cannot be given to anyone else except Brother Ba and the game he made.

"A dimensionality reduction attack?"

Chen Ba scratched his head and thought about it, and found that this matter was not easy to handle. After all, in order to kill other competitors with an "absolute crushing" attitude, the quality of this game must be at least one or two levels higher than the competitors.

To put it simply and crudely.

If other games were of the same level as Fall Guys, then Chen Ba would have to come up with a game of the quality of It Takes Two.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Only in this way, other games will be eliminated by default, and Chenba and Tianba Studio will become the only competitors! There is no other way! Who made Tianba Studio's games so "bad" now? There are too many previous records, and they are notorious in the game circle. If they want to win the annual award, they can only crush them with hard power.

"It has formed a crushing advantage over competitors, and even if something unexpected happens, it can still dominate other games?"

As Chen Ba was thinking about how to achieve these conditions, an idea gradually came to his mind.

The TGA annual awards are generally the battlefield for 3A games or "quasi" 3A games. It is extremely difficult to make a game that crushes all the 3A masterpieces and whose quality is one or two levels higher.

Tianba Studio does not have the technical strength or the ability to beat game companies like Poland's CD Projekt Red, Rockstar, Capcom, and Valve.

This road can be passed.

So why not change your thinking and make a game that the judges "have to choose".

"What do you mean you have to choose?"

"Have you watched those film festival award ceremonies?" Chen Ba asked.

“I have seen it…”

"Since you've seen it, you should know the importance of special themes when multiple works compete for the same award at this kind of film and television award ceremony, right?"

Chen Ba gave an example, "For example, the Golden Panda Award will give out a Best Film. The competing films are "A Great Man", "The Rich Young Man Falls in Love with Me", "Cyberpunk Girl", and "Zhang Fei vs. Slime". Guess who will win?"

"A Great Man of His Generation!"

Yang Dong said without hesitation: "It seems that there are four films nominated, but in fact the judges only have one choice."

There is no choice at all!

As long as "A Great Man" appears in the nominations and other films are not of the same theme, it is the only option.

in other words……

The film "A Great Man" either did not receive a nomination, or, given the name of the film, the nomination meant "winning."

What if the film is bad? I have already said it! If the film is bad, it will not even be nominated, and naturally there will be no scene that makes the judges embarrassed and tangled.

But as long as you are nominated, it proves that the quality is good, so being nominated means winning, there is no suspense at all.

"You mean, we should come up with a new way to make a game that the judges will have to choose?"

Yang Dong began to understand what Chen Ba meant.

Brother Ba probably feels that it is no longer possible to win the TGA annual award through normal means, so he wants to change his thinking and make an undisputed game that will win the award once it is selected.

"Will this work?"

"Why not? As long as this kind of game gets nominated, it will be like a movie like "The Greatest Man in History", it will definitely win an award!"

Chen Ba said confidently: "Right material selection + excellent quality, this is the absolute grand trend, even the Grand Theft Auto series can't help it."

That’s right!

If such a game really is nominated, Chen Ba will not panic at all even if the famous "GTA" and Red Dead Redemption series come to compete.

Why is he panicking? The judges and organizers should be panicking. After all, if something like this really happens, no matter who they give the award to, they will be criticized in the end.

There is a high probability that it will be a double yolk egg! Obviously, Chen Ba is full of confidence, and the source of this confidence is his insight into human nature and his accurate grasp of the unspoken rules of society.

Human society has always had a set of unspoken rules, whether in the East or the West.

This set of unspoken rules is formed based on people's "basic moral concepts", such as "compassion and sympathy" for the weak.

Even if you despise the weak in your heart, look down on them, and even think that it is a sin for them to be alive, you will still pretend to be "compassionate and sympathetic" in front of others.

Why? Because this is the unspoken rule of society, and you don’t want others to think that you are a cold-blooded animal without sympathy or humanity.

In the same way, why do "nominated and awarded" works appear at award ceremonies? Whether it is movies, TV series, novels, animations or even games?

Because these works are part of the unspoken rules. There is no law that requires them to do so, but you know that the consequences of not doing so will be serious.

Let’s take “The Greatest Show” as an example. If this movie failed to win the Best Picture and lost to “Cyberpunk Girls”.

What do the fans of this film, including the fans of the real-life prototype of the film's protagonist, think? Will they ask the judges what they really think?

It would be fine if it didn't get nominated, after all, no one would care if it was bad, but since it was nominated, it proves that the quality is good, what does it mean if you don't give it an award? "That's true!"

Yang Dong touched his chin and asked, "So what do you think? Is the new project named "A Generation of Great Men"? "

“No, no, no!”

"Great men have nationalities, and their recognition by non-nationals is not very high."

Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "Let's target special groups and make a game that cares about them. This way we can gain praise and support from all mankind."

"Special group?"

When Yang Dong heard this word, he was stunned for a moment and then said, "This is not good. It feels like taking advantage of other people's sympathy."

"A gentleman is judged by deeds, not intentions. Although we did this with a strong sense of self-interest, the game was made and became popular, which helped this group of people after all..."

Chen Ba doesn't think so, because he believes that after the game is made, more people will pay attention to this group and it will attract widespread attention from the society, so there is no need to feel guilty.

Judging by deeds, not hearts, no one is perfect! He does not deny that he is utilitarian and made such a game for the sake of awards, but so what? As long as this game promotes positive energy and makes more people pay attention to and pay attention to this special group, for the whole society, no one can stand on the moral high ground to point fingers at Chen Ba.

He is utilitarian and his starting point is wrong, but at least he did it while others didn't. How can you have the nerve to scold him?
