In the afternoon, Qiao Liang took a taxi to Fei Huang Workspace and met Huang Sibo.
"Teacher Qiao, nice to meet you!"
The two of them shook hands warmly and exchanged pleasantries.
Strictly speaking, Huang Sibo had only designed Ocean Stronghold as the chief designer. Qiao Liang had never made videos for Ocean Stronghold, so the two of them did not have much interaction.
However, they were very familiar with Tengda after all. Thus, they felt a sense of mutual appreciation after meeting.
After exchanging a few pleasantries in the conference room, the two of them quickly got to the point.
Qiao Liang went straight to the point. "To be honest, I recently released a video explaining 'Mission and Choice'. I didn't expect it to cause a lot of controversy."
"I said in the video that this game was created using the 'industrialization model'. It's very different from the previous games, but many viewers do not agree."
"What do you think?"
Qiao Liang was quite nervous when he asked this question.
He was afraid that Huang Sibo would say 'there's no such thing'. Wouldn't that be impossible to clean up?
He had worked hard to learn game design theory for so long and had devoted himself to studying Mission and Choice. It would be too awkward if his analysis was as fierce as a tiger and it ended up being wrong.
Huang Sibo took a sip of tea. "I've watched the video. I agree with some of the content."
"However …"
"I don't dare to call it a 'milestone'. Even though this game did have the intention of washing away the shame of domestically-produced games when it was first established, it will take many years before it can become a milestone."
"As for the 'heavy industry model', I can't give a very accurate answer. That's because there is no conclusion in the game industry regarding this concept. It's a concept that makes sense no matter what. "
Qiao Liang was a little disappointed when he heard this.
Obviously, Huang Sibo had the same personality as Boss Pei. He was very humble and would not blindly take credit for himself.
Humility might be a virtue, but this might mean that Qiao Liang would have to return empty-handed today.
"However …"
Huang Sibo changed the topic. "I might not be able to answer your question directly, but I can tell you a few short stories about the development process of this game and movie. I believe it will inspire you."
Qiao Liang's eyes lit up. "Tell me!"
Huang Sibo sorted out his thoughts and said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but the person-in-charge of Tengda Games changes very frequently."
"I was the designer of Ocean Stronghold. When it came to Game Designer, Lu Mingliang became the chief designer. After that, it was Li Yada, Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, and the others. It is rare to find a designer in Tengda Games in charge of two games consecutively.
"Now, I'm in charge of Fei Huang Workspace, and Lu Mingliang is in charge of Upwind Logistics. Even Chen Kangtuo and the others from the games department have been assigned to Thriller Hostel … Every designer who has made a name for themselves can now hold their own and have their own businesses.
"Do you know what this means?"
Qiao Liang shook his head, confused.
Huang Sibo continued, "Every time we develop a new game, Boss Pei would give out missions differently."
"Sometimes, he would only give a very broad range. For example, he would give a few seemingly irrelevant or even unbelievable requirements, so that the chief designer could design on his own. Sometimes, he would propose all kinds of details of the design and ask the chief designer to carry them out carefully.
"Why is that? Do you know? "
Qiao Liang still shook his head, even more confused.
Huang Sibo continued, "This time, when we were developing Mission and Choice, the difficulty that Boss Pei gave us could be said to be unprecedented. Thus, I gathered Director Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, Bao Xu, Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin, and the other core members of Tengda Games. Everyone worked together and finally finalized the design details of Mission and Choice. "
"What did you think of when you linked all of this together?"
Qiao Liang frowned as his brain worked quickly.
He vaguely felt that there seemed to be very important content hidden within, but he felt that it was a little blurry and difficult to grasp.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"I understand now!"
"This is actually Boss Pei nurturing talents that belong to Tengda Corporation in his own way!"
"Tengda Games is the department that can train people the best. That's why Boss Pei would promote a newcomer with potential to be the chief designer every time he creates a new game project."
"After the project succeeds, Boss Pei will transfer the employees that he has already trained to other departments to take charge of things on their own and continue to train new people!"
"That's why the turnover of personnel in Tengda Games is so frequent. That's why there's a saying that everyone from the games department can take charge of things on their own!"
"As for the way Boss Pei gives out missions when he assigns them, that's because Boss Pei wants to teach them in accordance with their aptitude."
"Some people are good at design, so Boss Pei will guide them through a few seemingly unrelated requirements and try his best to stimulate their talent. For those who are not very imaginative but have strong execution skills, Boss Pei will give them some very detailed rules so that they can watch and learn well in the process of serious execution."
"The arrangements after that also proved that Boss Pei is actually a leader who teaches in accordance with their aptitude."
"For example, Brother Huang, you are a very creative and comprehensive designer. That's why Boss Pei sent you to be in charge of Fei Huang Workspace and control the entire entertainment industry of Tengda Corporation;"
"Lu Mingliang is a designer with strong execution skills. Boss Pei asked him to be in charge of Upwind Logistics;"
"As for Li Yada and Bao Xu, their abilities are actually not particularly outstanding, but they are experienced and reliable. That's why I asked them to stay in Tengda Games as old employees to play the role of stabilizing the situation …"
"That way, the employees with potential in Tengda Corporation would be growing rapidly. They would be in charge of the various departments. That would ensure that Boss Pei's control over the various departments would also be able to develop faster and better!"
"The most important thing is that when these people gather together after sufficient training, they will burst out with shocking potential!"
"Take Mission and Choice for example. If not for Fei Huang Workspace's previous accumulation and the success of Tomorrow is Beautiful, it would have been impossible for it to make a name for itself in both movies and games!"
"I was a little puzzled before. Mission and Choice doesn't look like a game of Boss Pei's style. That's because the games that Boss Pei personally designed, such as Game Designer, Repent and be Saved, Struggle, and so on, all have a strong personal color and an imagination that breaks through the sky."
"On the other hand, Mission and Choice lacks this kind of unconstrained imagination, but it has a stable feeling."
"So this game is the result of all of you working together under Boss Pei's guidance!"
"In other words … I'm not particularly strict when I use the 'industrialization model' to describe Mission and Choice."
"Strictly speaking, Tengda's' industrialization model 'was not formed naturally. Instead, Boss Pei deliberately nurtured and guided the core employees to unleash their specialties, allowing Tengda Corporation to enter this' industrialization model 'in advance!"
"It looks like I was blowing in the right direction, but I didn't hit the nail on the head!"
Huang Sibo sipped his tea and smiled without saying anything.
In his heart, he thought so too.
Anyone who had been the person-in-charge of Tengda Games would understand how important Boss Pei's guidance was to the success of a game!
If not for Boss Pei, Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, and the others might still be doing odd jobs in some lousy games company. How could they have achieved such results?
Most of the time, one's ability was one aspect, but more importantly, one had to obtain a platform.
For example, someone asked online why were most of the famous generals, strategists, and founding fathers of the Han Dynasty from the same hometown as Liu Bang? Why could such a small city produce so many geniuses at the same time?
In fact, it was because this group of people had improved and grown together in the process of conquering the world. With this platform and resources, their talents could be displayed.
It was the same for Tengda Corporation.
Were all the person-in-charge of the various departments extremely smart and could they become the best in the industry? Not necessarily.
Without Tengda Corporation's platform and Boss Pei's guidance, they would not have achieved their current achievements.
Thus, while most of the content of Mission and Choice was finalized by Huang Sibo and the others, the biggest contributor behind the scenes was obviously Boss Pei.
That was because Boss Pei had provided this platform and determined Tengda Corporation's tone. He had nurtured these people and set an excellent example for them. That was why the game 'Mission and Choice' was born!
However, he could not say it out loud because Boss Pei had said to be realistic.
All the things that he was thinking about were more or less imaginary. He could not say it out loud even though it was most likely the truth.
Thus, Huang Sibo told him about the small episodes that happened during the production of Mission and Choice very truthfully. Those who understood would understand, and those who did not could not explain further.
In any case, with Teacher Qiao's understanding, there should be no problem.
As expected, Qiao Liang did not disappoint him. He understood his intentions immediately!
Qiao Liang said happily, "I understand! Thank you very much! Now, I can assert that Tengda Corporation is not only trying the 'industrialization model' first, but it was also deliberately guided by Boss Pei. What's more, it has achieved excellent results! "
"I'll go back and talk to those people now! Such a detailed case would definitely make them speechless! "
