Chapter 283 A game that will definitely win awards!
Wang Ya is indeed beautiful. I guess this has nothing to do with Comrade Wang's genes. It's just that her mother's genes are better.
However, Chen Ba was not very interested in this.
Yang Dong once said something that Chen Ba thinks is very correct, that is, when you have someone else in your heart, no matter how good the other person is, they have no place.
"You can pull him down!"
After learning about Brother Ba's experience during this trip, Yang Dong couldn't help complaining: "I have had a relationship at least, what is your relationship? Bai Yueguang is already married and still misses her?"
"Who cares about her?"
Chen Ba said with a headache: "So in your eyes, I am actually a Cao thief?"
"Is not it?"
Chen Ba: "..."
This is somewhat of a stereotype. He can't let go of Bai Yueguang, but they are already married and have children. How could he do something to destroy other people's families?
"Then why do you peek at the photos posted in other people's social media all day long?"
"Can't you miss your youth?"
Chen Ba said speechlessly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense today? Has the viewing bug in "Star Emperor 2" been fixed?"
"I didn't fix it, I'm too lazy to fix it!"
“Anyway, the lack of a spectator function will have little impact on the game experience. Let’s talk about it later!”
Yang Dong said nonchalantly: "Besides, I'm going to hold a wedding soon. Just forget about your shady boss not taking a holiday. How dare you let me work overtime for you?"
"I forgot..."
Chen Ba suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, your wedding is coming soon. Then go and do your business, I'll let Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei take care of the company."
"It's okay, I'm actually not busy either."
Yang Dong said calmly: "Both parents and relatives, so many people are helping to take care of it. Why do I need to do it myself?"
What's more, where parents and relatives are too busy or unable to help, aren't there professional wedding companies?
Yang Dong has also contributed a lot to the development of Tianba Studio to the scale it is today. He also has some shares in the studio. Based on the valuation, he is also a tycoon worth over 100 million yuan.
Although these shares cannot be exchanged for money for the time being, he has received a lot of salary and bonuses over the years. He is a diamond king, and he can arrange a wedding for a little money, which is a piece of cake for him.
"That's true..."
Chen Ba nodded. He had never been married and really didn't know much about this aspect. He thought that every newlywed couple was very busy.
Now it seems that the so-called newcomers are busy is just a matter of money. If you are really rich, like Yang Dong, you will have someone to take care of your daily necessities, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and everything during the wedding, so busy...
"By the way, how much did you give as a wedding gift?" Chen Ba was very curious about this.
Yang Dong's wife came from the same city as him, and Chen Ba didn't understand the customs there, so he was curious, had Yang Dong been ripped off for the bride price?
"5201314!"
Yang Dong said with a smile: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law said there was no need to give it, but my parents said it was just a formality, so they came up with a festive number."
Hold the grass!
Chen Ba was shocked when he heard this number. At first he thought it was Yang Dong's father-in-law and mother-in-law who were speaking loudly. But after hearing his subsequent explanation, he couldn't help but wonder: "You mean, I don't want a gift, or do you want a gift?" Did your parents take the initiative to join in?"
"Well, that's true."
Yang Dong explained: "Don't get me wrong, this is just a formality. In fact, neither of our families care about this. In the end, the money was given to me and my wife."
"That's okay..."
Yang Dongyue's parents were so easy to talk to, probably because their son-in-law was so capable. Chen Ba guessed that it might not be so simple if he had a son-in-law who looked down on him.
"Don't worry, you already have such a high status, why are you afraid of any betrothal gifts?"
Yang Dong said speechlessly: "To be honest, as soon as your name Chen Ba is revealed, the mother-in-law in Jiangning will not ask you for a betrothal gift, and she may have to pay it back."
"Hahaha!"
When Chen Ba heard this, he laughed without restraint.
The words are rough, but for Chen Ba, I'm afraid that's the truth.
Putting aside everything else, if he marries a wife like Wang Ya, Comrade Lao Wang will be the first to criticize her. What kind of gift is that? Do you want a dowry?
"Then you won't take action?"
Yang Dong glanced at him and said: "Standard white, rich and beautiful, with a good personality and not being a monster. If I miss this, where can I find the second one?"
"talk later."
Chen Ba didn't really want to accept this, because from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to talk about a partner right now. After all, his dream had not been realized yet.
At this point, Chen Ba suddenly sighed and said, "Speaking of which, our studio will have another year of failure this year, right?"
"Is such that……"
Yang Dong knows what Brother Ba's dream is, which is nothing more than to be on the Oscars of the gaming industry, that is, the stage of the TGA awards ceremony, and announce to the world that Tianba Studio has reached the top.
Unfortunately, after so many years, Brother Ba has always been a little closer to his dream.
"Global Evolution" is the closest Brother Ba has come to his dream. He got all the nominations, but unfortunately in the end he lost because of game bugs.
As for the subsequent games such as "Cultivation Fantasy" and "Ancestral Tree", I won a lot of small awards, but I never got the grand prize that Brother Ba really wanted.
Yang Dong also analyzed it.
Are the quality of these games from Tianba Studio not good?
it's not true! The quality of these games is definitely very good, and they are well received by players. They have the potential and qualifications to win awards in all aspects.
But the reason for repeated setbacks and few award nominations 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 award.
"I know, but..."
Chen Ba smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to be like this, but accidents happen every time. There is nothing I can do about it."
Of course he knew that with Tianba Studio's current influence and game quality, if he really wanted to win the award, he would have been mentioned by the judges long ago.
The reason why I couldn't get it was because I was worried that just after the awards were awarded, some "shocking" bug would break out in the winning game the next day.
This kind of thing would have a low probability of happening in other game companies, but for Tianba Studio, it is something that is bound to happen.
"Then help me think about it, what should I do to make everyone abandon their inner prejudices and give me the Game of the Year Award?"
"Well..."
Yang Dong said with a headache: "There is only one possibility, and that is that this game is a dimensionality reduction attack on other games. You have no competitors, and even if there are some heaven-defying bugs, it will not affect the award."
Yes, if you can't make the game stable and convince the judges that it won't have problems, then kill the other contenders and become the only candidate for the award!
That leaves no suspense.
After all, all the competitors have been killed, and this award cannot be awarded to anyone else except Brother Ba and the game he created.
"Dimensionality reduction strike?"
Chen Ba scratched his head and thought for a moment, and found that this matter was really not easy to handle. After all, he had to kill other competitors with an "absolute crushing" attitude. The quality of this game must be at least one or two levels higher than competing products.
To put it simply and crudely.
If other games are of the level of "Fall Bean Man", then Chen Ba has to offer a game of the quality of "Two People".
Only in this way, other games will be "default" rejected, and Chen Ba and Tianba Studio can become the only competitors!
no way!
Who makes Tianba Studio's games now "stained with bad reputations"? He has too many criminal records and is notorious in the gaming circle. If he wants to win the annual award, he can only crush him with hard power.
"Have you developed a crushing advantage over competing products? Even if something unexpected happens, you can still dominate other games?"
As Chen Ba pondered how to achieve these conditions, an idea gradually emerged in his mind.
The TGA annual awards are usually a battlefield for 3A games or "quasi" 3A games. It is really difficult to make a game that can crush all 3A masterpieces and reach one or two levels of quality.
Tianba Studio does not have the technical strength, nor the ability to defeat game companies such as Polish Jackass, Rockstar, Capcom, and Valve.
This road can be passed.
Then you might as well change your mind and make a game that the judges "have to choose".
"What do you mean you have to choose?"
"Have you ever seen those film festival award ceremonies?" Chen Ba asked.
"Seen……"
"Since you have seen it, you should know the importance of special themes when multiple works compete for the same award at this kind of film and TV series award ceremony, right?"
Chen Ba gave an example: "For example, the Golden Panda Award will award a best film, and the competing films are "The Great Man", "The Rich Man Falls in Love with Me", "Cyberpunk Girl", "Zhang Fei vs. Sly" "Mu", who do you think will win?"
""Great Man of a Generation"!"
Yang Dong said without hesitation: "It seems that four films were nominated, but in fact the judges only had one choice."
There is no choice at all!
As long as "Great Man" can appear in the nominations and the other films are not of the same subject, then it is the only option.
in other words……
The film "Great Man" either did not receive a nomination, but as long as it was nominated, according to the name of the film, the nomination means "award-winning".
What should I do if the photo shoot sucks?
Haven’t I already said it all? If it's poorly filmed, it won't even get a nomination, and naturally there won't be a scene that makes the judges embarrassed.
But as long as it is nominated, it proves that the quality is good, so the nomination is the award, and there is no suspense at all.
"You mean, let's find another way to create a game that the judges have to choose?"
Yang Dong somewhat understood what Chen Ba meant.
Brother Ba probably felt that it was no longer possible to win the TGA annual award through normal methods, so he wanted to change his mind and make an undisputed game that would win the award if it was selected.
"Is this okay?"
"Why not? As long as this kind of game is nominated, it will definitely win the award just like a film like "The Greatest Man"!"
Chen Ba said very confidently: "Correct selection of materials + excellent quality, this is the absolute grand trend, and the "GTA" series will not work."
That's right!
If such a game is indeed selected for nomination, even if the famous "GTA" and the Big Cousin series come to compete, Chen Ba will not panic at all.
Why is he panicking?
The ones who should be panicking are obviously the judges and organizers. After all, if this kind of thing really happens, no matter who they award the award to, they will be criticized in the end.
There is a high probability that it will turn into 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 precise grasp of the unspoken rules of society.
Human society has always had a set of hidden rules, whether in the East or the West.
This set of unspoken rules is formed based on people's "basic moral concepts", such as "pity and sympathy" for the weak.
Even if you despise the weak in your heart, look down on them, and even feel that it is a sin for them to live, you will still pretend to be "pity and sympathy" in front of everyone.
Why?
Because this is the unspoken rule of society, you don’t want others to think you are a cold-blooded animal without compassion or humanity.
By the same token, why do “nominations win” works appear at award ceremonies? Whether it’s movies, TV series, novels, animations or even games?
Because these works are part of the unspoken rules, there is no legal requirement to do this, but you know, the consequences of not doing so will be serious.
Let's take "The Great Ones" as an example. If this movie fails to win the best picture, it loses to "Cyberpunk Girls".
So what do fans of this film, including fans of the "real-life prototype" of the film's protagonist, think in their hearts? Will you ask the judges what they think?
It’s okay if you don’t get a nomination. After all, no one will take it seriously if the film is bad. But since you got a nomination, it proves that the quality is okay. What do you mean by not giving it an award?
"That's true!"
Yang Dong touched his chin and said: "Then what do you think? Is the new project called "A Generation of Great Men"?"
"No no no!"
"Great men have nationalities, and recognition by non-nationals is not very high."
Chen Ba waved his hand and said: "We target special groups and make a game that cares for them. This way we can gain praise and support from all mankind."
"Special groups?"
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's actions have no regard for his heart. Although we did this with a strong utilitarianism, the game was made and became popular. It has finally helped this group of people..."
Chen Ba doesn't think so, because he feels that if the game is made, more people will pay attention to this group and arouse widespread attention from society, so there is no need to feel guilty.
No one is perfect when it comes to his deeds but not his heart!
He does not deny that he is utilitarian and only made such a game because he was chasing 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, no one in the entire society can point fingers at Chen Ba from the moral high ground.
He is utilitarian and his starting point is not correct. At least he did it and no one else did it. How can you have the nerve to scold him?
