Chapter 643 You Come Wear This Leather Suit
If we talk about the star game producers in Lin Yao's previous life, we can't avoid Japanese games.
In the early days of the Japanese game industry, game magazines such as Famitsu often used titles such as the Father of XX to promote some famous game producers in order to achieve better publicity effects.
This played a kind of god-making effect, making a large number of game producers famous.
Even before Lin Yao traveled through time, there were still a large number of star producers active in the Japanese industry.
For example, the more well-known Hideo Kojima and Hidetaka Miyazaki.
The most famous game producer is of course Shigeru Miyamoto, who is not in the first line but is still called the "Father of Modern Games" by many game producers.
Some of these producers who were deified have long fallen from the altar and disappeared among the crowd. Those who
can still be remembered by players are mostly some really awesome and talented producers.
But.
To be honest, Lin Yao doesn't like this kind of game producer star system.
It's not that they don't deserve it.
They deserve it too much.
But this thing really depends on the times.
In the era of Shigeru Miyamoto, a game only needed a dozen people to develop, and if there were more, it would only be a few dozen people, so the producer could control every link.
It can be said that
a producer like Shigeru Miyamoto can have the current reputation because without him, Mario really wouldn't have come out...
But what about the new century?
With 3D games becoming mainstream and technology developing.
The times have changed dramatically, and a big game often involves hundreds of people in development.
This level of project requires much higher requirements for producers.
Why do many fathers of XX fall from the altar?
It's because they don't have the ability to control such large-scale projects. It's
better to say that the subsequent large-scale game production can no longer rely on a famous producer to make the entire game project run intact.
No one can do it.
Even if that producer is Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Compared with Hidetaka Miyazaki, names like Hamaya, Hiroshi, and Yamamura Masaru are not well-known.
But Hamaya Kazuhiro is the chief designer of Bloodborne and one of the supervisors of Sekiro. A large part of the credit for Sekiro's exciting combat system is due to combat designer Masaru Yamamura. Hidetaka Miyazaki is indeed awesome, but his reputation can continue to exist, and it is really not his own credit, but because he has a whole team of talented people. The situation of Linmu Studio is very similar. Lin Yao's role
is a little more important than the star producer in the previous life because of the cheating... well, it is indeed a little more important than the star producer in the previous life. But in the final analysis, the credit of the team cannot be ignored. If Lin Yao is in charge of a whole huge project team alone, to be honest, she will be exhausted. At first, she had no choice and didn't care too much. But later, as Linmu Studio expanded rapidly and its scale became larger and larger, she had to consider some issues. In addition, star producers will become the face of a game company over time. For example, Shigeru Miyamoto. After decades of ups and downs, this father of modern games is now the face of Nintendo. No matter how many bad things happen behind the scenes of Nintendo now, they will not let the face of Shigeru Miyamoto be tarnished. Not a speck of dust can be left. Not only can it not be left, but it must be wiped from time to time. And for this reason, even if Shigeru Miyamoto is no longer on the front line, he has to frequently stand up and act as the most dazzling signboard of Nintendo. After all, he is the face of Nintendo and he cannot fall. The same is true for Linmu Studio. Now Lin Yao is the face. If Lin Yao did not have the idea of running away. She would not mind retreating behind the scenes and being the face of Linmu Studio. But she does... This is very embarrassing. Lin Yao is not like Shigeru Miyamoto, who is already in his twilight years and can be said to have retired. She is still in her prime now... More importantly, Lin Yao in Linmu Studio is not just a role like Shigeru Miyamoto, she also plays a role similar to Satoshi Iwata... If there is no preparation. Lin Yao ran away directly. It would be fine if she just lost her face, but she also lost the helmsman... You can imagine what the scene would be like at that time... Anyway, Lin Yao made an analogy. What if Nintendo was thriving in the previous life, and Shigeru Miyamoto, who was in his prime, and Satoru Iwata, who was still alive, suddenly announced their departure, leaving the production line and the company, and then a bunch of nominal game producers also left... After all, Lin Yao's traces were also very heavy in other games of Linmu Studio. In short. She imagined such a scene and felt that it was not good. It would probably explode... Let's not talk about the outside. The company will explode first. So after the idea of running away came up. She has been thinking about how to lay the groundwork and how to minimize the impact, so as to achieve a smooth transition both on the player side and within the company. This year's Linmu Carnival is a test.
Lin Yao did not show up. Not only did she not show up, she did not even go to the scene.
The staff were very uncomfortable.
But Lin Yao was still at the Linmu Studio headquarters after all, and she would not leave in the short term.
There would definitely not be an explosion.
At most, she felt very uncomfortable and grumbled a few times.
And Lin Yao would proceed step by step, and slowly, the staff might get used to it...
After all, whether it was a senior executive like Zhong Xiu or an ordinary staff member, they were all mentally prepared.
Then, the reaction to her running away would not be so great.
As for the players.
Lin Yao's idea was also simple. She would not show up first, and then slowly reduce her influence.
For example, she would appear on the list of production staff under a pseudonym, or simply not show up.
And refuse all reports and all opportunities to show up.
In short,
the plan adopted was the same.
And Lin Yao felt that she was just not showing up at the carnival, not running away now, and she would continue to make games in the future, so it was estimated that there would not be too many problems.
This was also the reason why she was willing to bet with Zhong Xiu.
But man proposes, God disposes...
With a snap.
As soon as this year's Linmu Carnival ended.
There were no problems.
The problem is huge...
She just didn't show up at the carnival.
Players already think that Iwata and Miyamoto are going to cut ties with the game and Linmu Studio...
This is really unacceptable to many players who have witnessed the rise of Linmu Studio.
Whether it is from an emotional level or a rational level.
The emotional level is of course because Lin Yao, the producer who has produced so many excellent games and accompanied the players all the way, is leaving.
The rational level is thinking about the future development of Linmu Studio. Without Lin Yao... is it really okay?
The two are intertwined.
The direct decision to make Lin Yao not show up has become the darkest moment in the gaming industry...
At the same time.
Because of that report and the reaction of the players, the staff inside Linmu Studio have also been affected.
Everything is not what Lin Yao thought...
The situation is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins and started to run wildly...
Lin Yao is really confused.
Then soon, she realized that she couldn't just watch.
She could only start 'Plan B'...
...
"Senior sister means that I have to bear this image, and then live broadcast, and interact with you and the players?"
Lin Yao's office.
Zhu Nianqiao held the drawing paper and looked at Lin Yao in disbelief.
"Yes."
Lin Yao nodded seriously: "You will wear this suit from now on! You are the manager of the maid lady! An excellent employee who inherits Lin Yao's will! The great contributor to the embodiment of the maid lady! The first virtual anchor! How about it?"
"Mmmm..."
Zhu Nianqiao heard the words and immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I can't! Maid lady! Why me!? Can't you do it?"
"I can."
Lin Yao nodded, and then asked back: "But can you conjure up another me? I want to show up, I want to stabilize the morale of the troops."
Zhu Nianqiao said speechlessly: "What can I use to change? If I could change, I would have changed one and brought it home..."
"What did you say!?" Lin Yao glared at her.
Zhu Nianqiao was not afraid. She sighed and asked, "So what is this, senior sister?"
"Leather suit."
Lin Yao explained briefly, "You can understand it as a virtual live broadcast image. If you find it troublesome, you don't have to understand it. You will understand it after the live broadcast... I will solve the technical problems with Qi Jianhua and the motion capture studio at that time. You just need to act like you are usually stupid." "
..."
Zhu Nianqiao was silent for a while after hearing this, then she looked down at the drawing paper in her hand again, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "So senior sister still has to leave, right?"
"What do you mean by leaving? Am I not here now?"
Lin Yao was stunned, then chuckled and replied.
"If you were here, you would have broadcast live with this 'suit' on."
Zhu Nianqiao raised her head, stared at Lin Yao with her big eyes, and said, "But you chose to show up in person, isn't it just to appease the players and tell everyone that you are still here? And then through this 'suit', through a novel live broadcast, you can divert attention and completely settle the matter of replacing the maid? And also lay the groundwork for the future..."
Lin Yao looked at Zhu Nianqiao in surprise: "...I didn't expect you to be so smart."
Zhu Nianqiao saw Lin Yao's expression and became a little anxious: "Senior sister, what kind of image do I have in your mind!"
"Didn't I just say that, you stupid girl."
Lin Yao smiled gently, and then explained: "This has nothing to do with whether I leave or not. Since the carnival is over and I did not show up, there is no reason to change it back...but the opinions of the players cannot be ignored, so I adopted this compromise.
The reason why I don't wear this suit is largely because it is tantamount to denying the measures of this year's carnival, which will be difficult to do next year.
If someone else plays the role, it will be much easier next year."
"Of course, if you really don't want to play it, I can actually find an outside actor...but the effect may not be so good, after all, the actor is not as familiar with Linmu Studio as you. You can think about it and then give me an answer..."
"So are you sure you want to leave?" Zhu Nianqiao looked at Lin Yao and didn't answer her, but kept asking.
"...Not leaving, but taking a rest."
Lin Yao knew she couldn't fool him anymore, so she shook her ponytail and whispered back.
"..."
Zhu Nianqiao lowered her head again, looked at the virtual image on the drawing paper in her hand, and became a little depressed.
"Don't, I'm not dead."
Lin Yao was a little amused, took a few steps forward, rubbed her head, and said, "I will definitely come back, and I'm not leaving right away."
"Actually, it's almost like being dead..." Zhu Nianqiao muttered.
Lin Yao: "..."
"Hey hey hey, it hurts."
The next second.
Zhu Nianqiao stood on tiptoes, her soft cheeks were pulled up: "That's not what I meant! I just think that according to senior sister's personality, if she decides to take a break, she will definitely take a break all the time... After all, senior sister likes to be lazy at work.
If she leaves Linmu Studio and has no desires, it will definitely be more exaggerated..."
"Can you speak?"
Lin Yao was so angry that she laughed: "And who can have no desires? You were deceived into the Development Department 2 with Zhong Xiu. You should know better than anyone how Linmu Studio was built. You think you are the only ones who have feelings for Linmu Studio, right?"
"..."
Zhu Nianqiao blinked when she heard Lin Yao's words, and then couldn't help laughing.
She thought of the experience of being deceived with Zhong Xiu.
Who would have thought...
The Development Department 2 that was about to be ruined at the beginning actually became today's Linmu Studio inexplicably.
And she also changed from a newly graduated intern to the director of the mainframe department of Linmu Studio...
"Okay, you think about it."
Lin Yao saw Zhu Nianqiao's expression, smiled, let go of her face, and clapped her hands: "It depends on whether you want to do it or not. If you don't want to, just find another actor. It doesn't matter. At most, it will take some time to train."
"Don't think about it, senior sister, you won't leave in the short term, right?"
Zhu Nianqiao came back to her senses and looked at Lin Yao: "And you will definitely come back in the future, right?"
"Yeah."
Lin Yao looked at Zhu Nianqiao, who was a head shorter than her, and nodded seriously.
However, the next second, after seeing Zhu Nianqiao's sign of raising her hand, she immediately took a step back and said, "Don't be so naive to say pinky promise."
Zhu Nianqiao immediately bared her teeth and claws: "You are so naive! Who would do that! I just want to say that I agree..."
At this point.
She paused, then picked up the drawing paper in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lin Yao with shining eyes: "Actually, to be honest, I also want to try it! It feels like it will be fun!"
"...Well, let's try it."
Seeing her like this, Lin Yao couldn't help laughing and said: "Because you are not a commercial virtual anchor, you don't need to wear this suit to show up except for the carnival. Of course, if you want to show up, that's another matter. Everything depends on your personal wishes."
Zhu Nianqiao nodded, and then asked curiously: "What about this live broadcast? Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Do you need a script?"
"You don't need a script, you just need to follow your own temperament. As for what to pay attention to, the most important thing is of course not to leak information that shouldn't be leaked. You understand this even if I don't say it."
Lin Yao looked up and thought for a while, and continued to add: "Also, you can tease Zhong Xiu and the others, but only at work, and you can't talk about their private affairs. As for other things, it's the same as those game anchors."
"Can I talk about you too?"
Zhu Nianqiao's little face turned slightly red, and she seemed a little excited.
"You can't talk about private matters." Lin Yao hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Then I'll tell you the story of you and Miss Mu..."
Zhu Nianqiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately said excitedly that she wanted to tell the story of Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing.
But just as she got started.
"You're fired."
"...Eh!?"
At the same time.
Film and Television Department.
Zhong Xiu stood behind Qi Jianhua, looking at the virtual image of the maid on the screen, his face full of confusion.
"You rookie...Do you know what Lin Yao wants to do?"
Zhong Xiu glanced at the back of Qi Jianhua's head, and finally couldn't help but asked.
"I don't know, Lin Yao asked me to cooperate, I'm a technician, you should ask Xi Qianyu about this."
Qi Jianhua replied without turning his head: "Of course if you ask me my opinion, then I can only say...This is preparing for the live broadcast."
"Nonsense, everyone doesn't know that this is preparing for the live broadcast."
Zhong Xiu replied unhappily.
Then, he looked at the screen again, touched his chin, and said, "What I want to ask is, do you have this feeling, even though you don't understand it, but you always feel that Lin Yao is doing a very new live broadcast..."
"...Yes."
Qi Jianhua thought for a moment and nodded seriously.
...
After the Linmu Carnival ended.
The entire gaming circle was in chaos...
No one expected that Lin Yao just didn't show up at the carnival, and the situation would evolve to such an exaggerated level.
So, the next day.
Many gaming media reported the "sad moment" of all players in the domestic gaming circle.
After all, all games were affected.
No one could avoid this topic.
Some of these gaming media outlets, without any personal feelings, just objectively recounted the context of the incident to all the viewers; some analyzed the reasons why Lin Yao did not show up; of course, there were also some that analyzed why the players were so excited.
What they said made sense.
But these types of reports were not the most numerous.
The majority of them were still reports that stood with the players and expressed grief together...
The authors of these reports seemed to know everything. When it came to the unbinding of Lin Yao and Linmu Studio, the words between the lines revealed that this was correct.
But correct is correct, and at the end of their writing, they often added a sentence - [But even so, even if they know that this is correct, it is really hard for players to accept.
After all, although the domestic gaming industry looks prosperous now, the main player is actually Linmu Studio.
And this company will always carry the traces of Lin Yao that cannot be faded. Players have witnessed with their own eyes that under the leadership of Lin Yao, Linmu Studio has launched countless excellent games.
Now that she has been lost, no matter who it is, as long as they are players, they will probably feel pessimistic. 】
This is the kind of report that has been flooding the screen all day today...
After a day, players not only did not feel better, but felt even worse.
After all, all games were affected yesterday, and today there is another bombardment of reports.
This is of course not a big deal for many people who don't play games, such as users of Youmei Technology products.
But for traditional players.
Today is really not a big deal.
To some extent, this even affected the new game announced by Linmu Studio at the carnival.
Players are busy browsing forums and reading reports.
The pre-sale of new games is inevitably affected.
...
"I don't know what you will do this time? On one side is the right choice, and on the other side are the players."
Tianhu.
Mou Feng flipped through the forum, and then whispered: "If Lin Yao is asked to put out the fire, everything will go in a cycle. If we stick to the current strategy and let Lin Yao continue to reduce her influence, it is estimated that we will face a long period of pain. It's difficult..."
After he finished speaking, he leaned back.
Unconsciously, he put himself in Lin Yao's perspective.
It's really difficult to think about it.
One day, the game producer is too important and too popular with players, which will become a problem...
Mou Feng smiled, a little envious and a little helpless.
He didn't know what Linmu Studio would do.
In his opinion, there was no solution.
And no matter what Linmu Studio did, it would benefit Tianhu...
At worst, it would just maintain the status quo.
And if Lin Yao chose to put out the fire, he would actually be quite happy.
Mou Feng even expected such a result to happen...
So this time, Mou Feng felt more relaxed than ever.
In fact, not only Mou Feng thought so...
Other colleagues in Linmu Studio also thought so.
Although some of them also felt uncomfortable.
But most of them were still in a mentality of watching the show, just wanting to see what Linmu Studio would do.
Because in their opinion, Linmu Studio now only had two choices left.
And no matter which one Linmu Studio chose, it would eventually benefit its peers...
At the very least, it would make its peers feel comfortable.
After all, in the final analysis, it was not just the players who felt uncomfortable.
Many peers were actually also uncomfortable with losing the flag.
Anyway, it doesn't matter what happens.
Peers will wait and see.
What will Linmu Studio choose...
...
On the third day after the carnival,
the screen-sweeping of each server in Fantasy OL is finally not so exaggerated.
After all, it is a turn-based game.
The role of the world channel is not just to brag to players.
It also plays the role of forming wild teams.
Many players have not cleared their daily tasks for three days.
However,
although it is not as exaggerated as the first day,
the world channel is still full of words about Lin Yao...
On the third day, only the screen-sweeping problem has been alleviated.
The name change trend and the situation on the forum are still the same as the previous two days.
All colleagues have seen it.
If Linmu Studio does not say something, it is estimated that this matter will be difficult to end, and it is likely to have some unexpected consequences.
In addition to colleagues, some players have actually seen it.
For example, Li Yu.
He also feels that under the current situation, Linmu Studio must come forward to say something.
Otherwise, this will affect the subsequent operations of Linmu Studio.
So all day today, he was a little absent-minded.
He frequently opened the official website of Linmu Studio and their social accounts.
He wanted to see if they had released any new announcements or something.
However,
he waited from morning till evening
but didn't get what he wanted...
On the subway.
Li Yu took out his phone again and opened the social account of Linmu Studio.
Still no new messages.
He held the pull ring in the middle of the subway car, and his face showed undisguised disappointment.
"Could it be that this matter is over?"
Li Yu couldn't help but sigh, and then his fingers slid subconsciously and refreshed again. Ding
Dong -
accompanied by the sound of refreshing.
A dynamic that had just been sent out jumped out...
"..."
Li Yu was stunned, and then immediately lowered his head.
[June 17th! In order to give back to the audience, the manager of Linmu Carnival will start his first game live broadcast! Please look forward to it, players! ]
[In addition, it is said that there will be a mysterious guest named Lin on the scene~]
The content of the dynamic is very simple.
As for the accompanying picture.
There is only one picture, and the main body of the picture is a girl with twin ponytails, who looks very energetic and wearing a maid outfit.
She smiled brightly and made a scissors hand gesture.
It looks exactly the same as the maid lady who was the poster girl of the carnival in the past two years.
But the hairstyle and some details don't seem to match...
"..."
Li Yu looked at the dynamics posted by the official account of Linmu Studio and slowly put a question mark.
Game live broadcast? ? ? Mysterious guest named Lin? ? ?
