He An took the test questions and answered them one by one.
"You answered a few questions very well!
"For example, you summarized Ghost General's art style as' epic ink oil painting style ', and you summarized Game Designer's main idea as' it is the fate of the speaker to be misinterpreted '. These are both very accurate and appropriate expressions. They are very professional!"
"Some of the questions seemed wrong, but the general idea was correct.
"Take the last question for example. The epitaph in Repent and be Saved reflected the designer's thoughts of trying to dissuade players. These answers were not wrong, but they were not accurate.
"The standard answer for this question should be extended to another level. The designer wanted to dissuade players because he was playing hard to get. He should have answered: 'It reflected the designer's accurate grasp of the target player's mentality'.
"There were a few other questions that were ridiculously wrong.
"For example, the designer should completely give up on his own needs and let the concept artist do whatever he wanted. That would not work unless your concept artist was a real artist. However, who could guarantee that any artist you met while creating a game would reach the level of an artist? That was why you needed a more accurate and detailed art document.
"Another example would be that The Lonely Desert Road was to make players feel bored and give up on the game? The Red Kilin was priced at 888 yuan so that players would not buy it? Game Designer's marketing was' lousy marketing '?
"All of these are ridiculously wrong!
"All in all, although it is still difficult for me to understand your true level based on the above questions, I can roughly make a judgment."
Seeing how confident He An looked as if everything was under control, Pei Qian was suddenly very curious about what he was going to say next.
Could it be that the big boss could really see a lot of deep things through these simple questions?
"Please continue." Pei Qian's attitude was very sincere. He also wanted to know what level and condition he was at. He wanted to know where his understanding of the game had deviated.
He An rubbed his chin, looking like he was possessed by a famous detective.
"An outsider who focuses on the investment industry should not be able to accurately summarize the art style and the core idea of the game. Unless … you have heard of these terms from other sources and memorized them.
"These ambiguous answers show that you don't have a deep understanding of the game. You only know a little about it, and you lack the spirit to study it. Of course, it's not that you lack perseverance or anything like that. It's just that … it seems that studying the game itself isn't a high priority for you. It's something that has relatively low returns. "
"As for the questions that were ridiculously wrong, it's more interesting."
"Logically speaking, even an outsider who doesn't understand the game industry should at least understand the relationship between a designer and an artist, right? An answer like 'this game is meant to dissuade players' doesn't make sense either. It's too subjective. "
He An's eyes were bright and piercing. He looked at Pei Qian with a sly and confident expression. "It seems like you've given me a hidden puzzle as well?"
Pei Qian revealed a shocked expression.
Was it really that magical?
Just from my answers, you can see so much?
Could he have figured out that I'm Boss Pei, the designer of the game?
Countless thoughts flashed through Pei Qian's mind. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
He An could not help but laugh. "I knew I guessed right!
"Boss Ma, I'm guessing that you're good friends with Boss Pei in real life. Your relationship is definitely not that of a leader and a subordinate. It's more like a friend or a brother, right?
"The accurate summary of the art style and the core concept of the game must have been heard from Boss Pei when you were chatting with him. Then, you wrote it down.
"Studying the game isn't a high priority for you because you're busy with your work in the investment industry. You don't have the time or energy to study it. That's why you only know a little about it.
"As for those ridiculous answers, maybe Boss Pei was joking with you when you were chatting with him. He said that these games are meant to dissuade players, or he was being humble and said that Game Designer used 'lousy marketing'. However, you believed it because you didn't understand the game well enough!
"You had so much time to chat with Boss Pei. What's more, Boss Pei would joke with you. That means that the two of you are very close.
You actually took Boss Pei's jokes seriously. That shows that you're a little too honest at times …
"Am I right? Boss Ma? "
After He An finished speaking, he looked at 'Ma Yang' confidently.
Pei Qian did not doubt that if He An had a beard, he would definitely be stroking his beard and looking very pleased. However, he did not have a beard. Thus, he could only stroke the stubble on his chin. It was as if the words' there's only one truth 'were written on his face.
Pei Qian did not know how to answer at that moment.
Because he lacked a known condition, He An's reasoning had been completely wrong from the start. However, for some reason, he had come to a correct conclusion in the end.
He had indeed guessed Ma Yang's behavior and personality traits correctly. He had even guessed that Ma Yang and Pei Qian were good friends.
The accuracy of his reasoning was shocking.
What's more, He An's reasoning was based on the known conditions. It could be said that he was steady and sure.
That made Pei Qian even more amazed.
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. "Boss He, your reasoning skills really make me gasp in amazement."
Sensing the sincerity in 'Ma Yang's' words, He An could not help but smile. "Back in the day, I used to make detective games as well. This is just an insignificant skill of mine. It's not worth mentioning."
Pei Qian asked, "So, Boss He, do you think that I've passed the test?"
He An smiled. "If someone else had answered like that, I would not have wasted so much time on him. However, since Boss Ma is Boss Pei's best friend and has such a sincere attitude, I have no reason to reject him.
"I'll try my best to teach you. Boss Ma, how much you can understand will depend on yourself."
Pei Qian, "…"
He had never thought that he would have to rely on his own reputation to pass the test?
I'll rely on myself?
Pei Qian felt that it was extremely absurd. The entire thing seemed to be exuding a kind of dark humor from beginning to end.
It seemed like his idea of 'learning game design' had gone astray from the beginning. Now, it was getting more and more off track.
However, since he had already come this far, he might as well learn it!
If he could master more game design knowledge, he would be able to take fewer detours when making games in the future. Even if he earned less, it would be good!
He An continued speaking. "Boss Ma, my time is limited. I can only come to Jingzhou once a month. How would you arrange your time, Boss Ma?"
Pei Qian cleared his throat. "Boss He, this is what I'm thinking. It's not easy for you to come to Jingzhou. What you're going to teach me is also very valuable knowledge. To save you time, I'm thinking of giving you a big lesson every month. There will be a total of five lessons. I'll pay you two hundred thousand yuan for each lesson. On top of that, your air tickets and expenses in Jingzhou will be reimbursed as well! "
That was the highest price allowed by the System.
At first glance, two hundred thousand yuan for one lesson sounded ridiculous, but it was actually reasonable.
Many economics professors and big names were invited to give lectures. Just the appearance fee alone would cost two to three hundred thousand yuan. That was a very normal price.
He An was the boss of a game company. He had many successful games. Although Mengguo Games was not as glorious as before, He An himself was worth at least a few hundred million yuan.
In other words, even if he was not willing to come, he would not change his mind for a few hundred thousand yuan.
He An's status in the game industry was far higher than that of ordinary economics professors. What's more, this was not a lecture for many people but a one-on-one lesson. They could ask questions at any time and communicate with each other. It was not too much to pay two hundred thousand yuan for one lesson.
Pei Qian thought that he would be able to spend at least a million yuan before settlement.
As for what he would do with the rest of the money … he would think about it later.
He An smiled and nodded. "Alright, it's a deal, then."
Although it was not particularly important to him how much he would be paid for his hard work, it also showed his sincerity.
Two hundred thousand yuan for one lesson meant a million yuan for five lessons. He would not be working for nothing.
"Alright, Boss Ma, that's all for today. It's my first time in Jingzhou. I plan to tour around and prepare for my lessons at the same time. How about this? We'll start the first lesson on time next Thursday, which is the 28th.
"As for the lessons after that, we'll set them on the last Thursday of every month."
Pei Qian nodded. "Alright, you can arrange the time."
After sending He An off, Pei Qian could not help but feel a little melancholic.
He did not know what this big boss would teach him during the first lesson next week.
…
…
April 23rd, Saturday …
Tang Yishu led a group of child-looking students to the 16th floor of Shenhua View.
After entering the Resplendent Golden Jade office building, these students tried their best to restrain themselves from being too surprised, but they still couldn't help but look around.
Everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable curiosity, and at the same time, a little shame.
After all, this magnificent building seemed to be filled with successful people in suits and leather shoes. They were all poor students who were short of money.
Tang Yishu led everyone into the conference room. "Everyone, please wait here for a while. Boss Pei should be here in a while.
I'll go feed the cat first. "
After Tang Yishu left the conference room, everyone began to whisper to each other.
"The working conditions here are too good."
"I almost thought this was the set of a television drama."
"Are all companies like this?"
"What are you thinking?! This is Tengda! "
Obviously, some of these people knew more about Tengda's situation. There were also those who were completely obsessed with learning and did not know much.
"So, what exactly do we Management Trainees do?" Someone asked a very sharp question.
No one understood this question, and Tang Yishu could not explain it either.
That was because Pei Qian had no intention of explaining it to her.
