Chapter 72 Interview with Nitiantian Game
Zhang Qifeng looked at Zhao Haiquan who was sitting opposite him, and then said with a complicated mood: "I'm sorry, brother, you'd better not think about these things. I'm afraid the people from Nitian are not You can dig it... Don't talk about my brother, even I want to go now!"
The other person is confused: "Ah? What's going on? Isn't it said that the boss of that company is particularly stingy? Can’t even afford a reliable office space? The company owner works in a coffee shop?
“Is my information wrong? What's going on? "
Zhang Qifeng didn't bother to explain. He said "goodbye" very perfunctorily, and then hung up the phone.
Zhao Haiquan also looked serious at this time: "I now solemnly declare that I am the number one loyalist of Nitiantian Games! Don't talk about double monthly salary, even if you give me a gold mountain, don't try to poach me away!
"Mr. Gu is my brother! "
Zhang Qifeng frowned and his expression became serious: "How can Haiquanyou say that? We must have integrity as human beings!
“You are not allowed to get too close to my dear father like this!
“Hai Quan, look at how well I treat you, why don’t you find a way to arrange for me to be promoted within the company? Quota?
"I don't want to work on this crappy game website for a long time!"
Zhao Haiquan looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid this won't work. Our company currently does not have a position for you, and it seems that there are no new recruitment plans in the near future. .
"Let me look back for you. ”
Zhang Qifeng looked sad and angry. Obviously he also knew that it was a bit too hard for him to get into a start-up game company with his resume. There was no suitable position at all. I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to drink this hot soup. .
But soon, his expression became determined.
"Then please help me contact you. I want to conduct an exclusive interview with your company!
"Even if I can't enter your company, I still have to try out this hot spot! "
Zhao Haiquan thought for a while: "You seemed to have said just now that there was no need for an interview. "
Zhang Qifeng had a serious expression: "I was just joking because I was ignorant before, but now I realize that our boss was very far-sighted in arranging this interview. In short, I must get to know Mr. Gu, this strange man! ”
……
……
July 8, Monday.
Zhang Qifeng looked at his watch. It was now 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which was also the interview time agreed with Mr. Gu.
This interview appointment went smoothly. We were contacted through Zhao Haiquan in the morning. Mr. Gu made the decision at that time and said that the interview could be done in the afternoon.
Originally, Zhang Qifeng was a little worried. After all, he has seen many talented game producers like this. Often, the more talented they are, the weirder their personalities are. Some people even refuse any interviews at all, asking just to socialize. fear.
Therefore, Zhang Qifeng was quite happy to be able to successfully interview the president of Nitiantian Games, which has been gaining momentum recently.
......
"Mr. Gu! Hello!"
Zhang Qifeng came to the second floor of the cafe and met Gu Fan, the owner of Nitiantian Games.
Younger and more handsome than he expected.
Or maybe it’s a beauty buff generated by the dual aura of “game success” and “generousness”?
"Let's go to the first floor for an interview. Our company's developers have just received the design plan for the new game and need some time to digest it, so we won't disturb them." Gu Fan suggested.
New game?
Does it still take some time to digest the design plan?
It seems that the design of this new game is very deep and complicated?
Zhang Qifeng's eyes swept across the second floor of the cafe.
Then he saw complex expressions on the faces of these employees that were difficult to accurately depict with fan diagrams.
Because he knows Zhao Haiquan, an insider, Zhang Qifeng still has a certain understanding of the current internal structure of Nitiantian Games, and he can roughly get it right at this time.
The three positions on the edge should belong to the three new testers.
At this time, their expressions were excited and their fighting spirit was high. It seemed that the excitement caused by the high-intensity chicken blood had not passed yet.
Obviously, these three people were shocked by the bonus issued last weekend. At this time, they were in a state of excitement similar to that of a perpetual motion machine, and their enthusiasm for work was unprecedentedly high.
As for the test team leader sitting near them, he was obviously much calmer than them. He was worthy of being employee 002 of the company, and he had seen the world. "High morale" is the emotional background of all employees at present, but other people obviously have a lot of complicated emotions after seeing the new game design, so they cover up the background.
For example, Zhao Haiquan’s expression was solemn and he seemed to be thinking about something. Perhaps it was because this design plan had many new requirements in terms of background and AI algorithms, which made him feel Challenge;
The old-looking programmer sitting diagonally across from him must be the front-end program. He was mumbling words and seemed to be calculating the approximate construction period required to develop the game;
As for the young man sitting next to Mr. Gu, he must be executing the plan. Although he is still in a state of chicken blood, he holds his head with both hands and keeps pulling his hair. It seems that the CPU is burning and smoking. It is obviously the design plan for the new game. There are many problems, which are so suppressed in life.
A small cafe can actually have a different climate, which made Zhang Qifeng feel a little "shocked to heaven".
It is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, not simple!
It is rare to see a company with such motivated employees. Sure enough, the power of bonuses is endless!
Zhang Qifeng didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly followed Gu Fan downstairs, preparing to start the interview.
Soon, Gu Fan and Zhang Qifeng took their seats.
"Mr. Gu, I know you are busy with work, so I won't go around in so many circles. Let's get straight to the point.
"First of all, please play less games with us netizens. Let's say hello. "
Gu Fan said seriously: "Hello everyone on the Shaowan Game Network, I am the producer and technical director of Nitiantian Games, Gu Fan. "
Zhang Qifeng recorded carefully: "So do you have an English name? I think that in the future, Nitiantian Games will definitely go abroad and go to the world, and become a frequent guest at major award ceremonies. ”
Gu Fan nodded: "Of course, you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu!"
Zhang Qifeng almost laughed out loud: "Mr. Gu, this is already an old joke. It’s not funny!
“And what the hell is Van Gogh? Is he a relative of Van Gogh?
"Or...rebellious? Well, Mr. Gu, you do seem to be a rebellious person, otherwise you wouldn't be able to make so many unique games."
Gu Fan Cough twice: "Ahem, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Zhang Qifeng did not dwell too much on this topic and continued to ask: "Then the next question is, where did the name of the company "Night Paradise Games" come from? Does it have any special meaning?"
This is obviously This is a very suitable way to open a topic and is almost error-free.
After all, when starting a business, everyone starts with the company name.
Just like when interviewing many authors, it is the same reason to first ask how the pen name came about.
But this question really stumped Gu Fan.
Where did the company name come from? It was Lilith...it was written directly in the contract. Gu Fan, the president, was just a high-level worker.
How to answer?
Gu Fan's first impression of this name was obviously that of the classic game company in his previous life: Nintendo Games.
I have to say that the name Nitiantian is quite suitable.
The purpose of Nintendo games is to allow players to experience the simplest happiness in games at any time and anywhere.
The purpose of the game Nitian is: to allow players to experience the simplest pain in the game at any time and anywhere!
Of course, this is just Gu Fan’s own association.
In fact, the fragment of this name is not "Anti-Tian-Tang", but "Anti-Heaven". Lilith chose this name purely to represent a kind of political correctness as a hell demon. With a rebellious mentality, fight against heaven to the end!
It’s a pity that these wonderful connotations cannot be mentioned in interviews.
No one to share with!
Thinking of this, Gu Fan said: "Do you want to hear an 'ideal answer' or a 'realistic answer'?"
Zhang Qifeng was stunned. This was the first time he encountered such an answer in an interview. Interview subjects.
I didn’t rush to answer, but gave them the answer directly!
“What’s the ideal answer?” Zhang Qifeng asked.
Gu Fan said seriously: "To go against heaven means to go against heaven. No matter how slim the hope of success is, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles you encounter, you must have the courage to challenge and win!"
