Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 120 Misunderstanding is the Fate of the Expresser (3/10)
The narration represents the greed within and the criticism from others on the road ahead.
By creating "immersion" through the first-person perspective and environment, and then creating a sense of "alienation" with the narration, this atmosphere makes it especially easy for players to reflect.
Every choice the player makes is a complete simulation of the game producer's mindset.
After playing this game, you can understand what a miserable profession game producer is!
Not only that, Qiao Laoshi also elevated the entire game's spiritual connotation once again.
"When I was playing this game, I felt an unusually strong resonance."
"Why is that? I clearly don't have any experience in game production."
"After thinking about it carefully, it's because making videos and making games have things in common."
"Or rather, almost all cultural producers have the same mindset."
"Loneliness."
"There's a saying: To be misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves."
"The game content of *Game Producer* embodies this point."
"The performance art outside of *Game Producer* also embodies this point."
"Perhaps, this is the purpose that Tenda has painstakingly developed this game to achieve, perhaps they have already anticipated that this game will be a sales disaster and will not recover its costs."
"But, they hope to achieve one thing, which is to let us calm down in this impetuous society, do things patiently, and also think patiently:"
"Where do we come from, and where are we going?"
"In this impetuous society, how should we live?"
"What exactly should we be pursuing?"
…
…
After watching this video, the audience in front of the screen fell silent.
So… that's how it is?
The final questions in the video were like heavy hammers, pounding on the hearts of the audience.
Seeing Qiao Laoshi's last updated video, many people thought Qiao Laoshi was the monkey, and they were the ones watching the monkey show.
But now they realized, it was the opposite, they got it all wrong!
Qiao Laoshi was the one showing off the monkey, and the audience were the monkeys!
Such a weak, seemingly suspicious video actually deceived all the viewers and created a new meme, "Qiao Studies"!
All the viewers and netizens unconsciously joined this performance art and underwent an examination, and the results of the examination were disappointing.
This is the blind following of the netizens!
Soon, the number of likes for this video began to soar, and the number of comments also increased rapidly!
Originally, "Qiao Studies" had formed a trend, and the popularity was at its peak. Many people heard that Qiao Laoshi had released a new video and planned to come and show off their "Qiao Studies" and be in the front row to watch the show.
So, the initial attention for this video was very high!
And after the audience discovered the "truth" of the matter, their mentality instantly changed 180 degrees.
This can be seen from the comments.
"Damn, this is actually a large-scale performance art?"
"Game companies these days… are so good at playing?"
"Sorry son, Dad misunderstood you, I'll give you a like and forward it now!"
"Qiao Laoshi, take the artist!"
"To be misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves, I'm withered, and you!"
"I didn't expect the game *Game Producer* to have so many profound meanings? I'm going to play it again!"
Of course, some people suspected that Qiao Laoshi was deliberately trying to whitewash himself, but this voice was quickly drowned out.
Because Qiao Laoshi's statement was more logical and more in line with the netizens' perception!
As soon as this video came out, many players who had originally tried *Game Producer* but quickly retreated decided to calm down and play it again;
And those players who had not yet experienced *Game Producer* because of disgust also decided to experience it and see if this "masterpiece" in Qiao Laoshi's mouth was really that magical?
…
…
Swan Lake Restaurant.
Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd., team building dinner!
Having a dinner party to celebrate after the game development is completed and released is a tradition that started with *Fortress at Sea*.
As for why they still choose the same restaurant…
There was no way, it was the most expensive in the entire Jingzhou City. Pei Qian wanted to take a plane to the Imperial Capital to eat better, but the system didn't allow it.
He could only make do.
Pei Qian walked through the crowd with a glass of red wine and found that everyone seemed to be in low spirits.
This was normal. *Game Producer* was currently having a cold reception after its release. How could they be in the mood to eat?
This was different from last time.
Last time, everyone came to eat as soon as *Fortress at Sea* was completed. At that time, there was no psychological pressure, so they could naturally eat to their heart's content.
But this time, *Game Producer* had been online for three days, and both its sales and reputation were far below expectations.
Therefore, everyone except Pei Qian felt a little uneasy while eating.
"Today is a team building, everyone cheer up!"
"Why do I feel like everyone is not in a good mood? Is it because the dishes here don't suit everyone's taste?"
"Since you're not in a good mood, then you have to pick the expensive ones to eat, come on, everyone start with three plates of bluefin tuna!"
"You old employees have to play a leading role, you've eaten it once, you should know what's valuable, don't let me see anyone still eating ice cream!"
"Also, this is Ma Yiqun, he's our new member, a top student, a cultured person, you must take good care of him, did you hear?"
Pei Qian was in high spirits, constantly busying around.
Someone doesn't drink?
It's okay, President Pei went to every table to offer a toast, it's not appropriate not to drink when the boss offers a toast, right?
Of course, Pei Qian's behavior of offering a toast was completely different from the general drinking culture.
Traditional drinking culture encourages drinking, especially when leaders force subordinates to drink, it is to establish their own authority, the purpose is to make you drunk and uncomfortable, to establish this relationship of obedience.
But Pei Qian's purpose was not this.
He was drinking red wine, which was not so easy to get drunk on, and Pei Qian didn't ask for much, just a sip was enough.
The main purpose was to get everyone to eat more food.
Now everyone's atmosphere was a bit dull, drinking a little wine could both whet their appetite and relax their emotions.
Sure enough, after toasting a few rounds, the atmosphere improved significantly!
Pei Qian was very happy, he also took some delicious food and began to eat heartily.
It had been a long time since he had been so happy!
So far, everything was going smoothly.
The internet cafe was losing 300,000 yuan a month, and there were currently no signs of profitability;
Although the popularity of the short video was good, he had rejected all the low-end advertisements, and had not received any high-end customized requests so far, with an income of 0;
*Game Producer* had received mediocre reviews so far, and sales were even more mediocre. According to the current trend, it would definitely not recover its costs!
Pei Qian felt that the rice was a little sweeter.
Happy!
