Chapter 567: Not interested in game design
Translator: 549690339
Li jingsi was sitting in the lobby of Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s imperial capital Branch, looking dumbfounded.
Li jingsi did not want to come at first when she was inexplicably arranged for an interview. However, after thinking about it, it had taken li Jingwan a lot of effort to arrange it, so she had to reluctantly come …
Anyway, it was just a formality. After all, it was not easy for a video game designer to enter the industry. It required a lot of professional knowledge. Li jingsi usually did not have any proper research on video game design other than playing games. Coming to the interview was just a gift. There was no way she would pa.s.s, okay?
……
Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s imperial capital Branch was very formal. It was located in a high-end office building in the northeast of the imperial capital, and visitors had to register after entering.
After the pretty lady at the front desk clarified li jingsi’s purpose for coming, she called the person in charge and asked li jingsi to wait in the lobby for a moment.
This was li jingsi’s first time attending an interview for a gaming company. She was not wearing a formal suit and did not even have a resume …
However, the game company’s interview didn’t require formal wear, because the internet industry was more casual, and there weren’t so many requirements on appearance.
But even so, li jingsi’s aura still seemed out of place with the rest of the company.
To put it simply, everyone was either working seriously or pretending to be serious about their work. Only li jingsi herself seemed to be on vacation …
If he came to the interview with the mentality of not being hired, he suddenly felt that the interview was not scary at all …
The receptionist received a call, then stood up and said to li jingsi,””Alright, this time, our chief Qiu will personally interview you. Please follow me to conference Room No. 3. ”
The lady at the front desk led Li jingsi forward, pa.s.sing through work stations after work stations.
The lady at the front desk said to li jingsi,””It’s director Qiu who’s personally interviewing you. It seems like you’re quite valued. I wish you a successful interview.”
Li jingsi smiled, but didn’t say anything. She thought to herself,’I don’t want to succeed in the interview at all …’
The two of them arrived at conference Room No. 3, and the lady at the front desk knocked on the door.
“Please come in.” A deep voice said.
The lady at the front desk opened the door, and Li jingsi walked in.
There were four people sitting in the meeting room, three men and one woman. They were probably all employees of Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s branch in Imperial City, and Li jingsi clearly did not know any of them.
Her eyes quickly swept over the four people and gave them nicknames from left to right: Gla.s.ses man, fatty, suit man, and round-faced girl.
Well … It was very similar to the characteristics of a game company’s employee. There was nothing wrong with it.
Fatty pointed to the seat across the conference table.””Li jingsi, right? Please have a seat. ”
After li jingsi sat down, the fatty introduced himself.””h.e.l.lo, I’m the chief designer of the ‘ancient catastrophe’ mobile game project in the imperial capital Branch of Emperor dynasty entertainment. My name is Zhang Bei. This is a well-known mobile game designer from Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s headquarters and the main designer of moon G.o.d’s prophecy, Qiu bin, CEO Qiu. ”
Li jingsi nodded very politely.
Zhang Bei was a little puzzled. If it was anyone else who came for the interview, they would at least say “nice to meet you” after hearing these two t.i.tles, right?
Especially Qiu bin, he was the best Mobile Game designer in Emperor dynasty entertainment, with a few successful works. Moon G.o.d’s prophecy had just reached the top of the best selling leaderboard, there was no reason for anyone who wanted to enter the game industry not to know him …
However, li jingsi’s polite nod made it clear that she meant: I don’t know you guys, but I feel that you guys are really cool, so I’ll just nod and send a 666 out of courtesy.
Zhang Bei was also very confused. Qiu bin was the one who asked for the interview, but why did it look like Qiu bin and the interviewee did not know each other at all?
What kind of script was this?
The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Zhang Bei had to continue with the interview.
He had already heard that this interviewee was special and did not even have a resume. However, he knew the basic information. He graduated from the capital’s key university and was excellent in his studies. The only problem was that he had few interests and hobbies. He basically had no resume worth mentioning in the University.
However, it was said that he was very good at playing games, but he didn’t know if that was true.
Zhang Bei coughed twice.”How about this? briefly tell me what games you’ve played, and what games you’ve been playing recently.”
Li jingsi thought for a moment.”I’ve played quite a lot of games. For example, Warcraft, League of Legends, Overwatch. I’ve been playing Dark Souls recently.”
Everyone present was a little confused. Why did these games all seem to be Thunderbolt Entertainment’s games? This girl hadn’t even played a single one of Emperor dynasty Entertainment’s games before, why was she here for an interview?
Qiu bin nodded.”Yeah, they’re all famous games. How are they?”
Li jingsi thought for a moment.”I’ve reached the top of the ladder in Warcraft. I’ve also reached the king’s section in League of Legends. I’ve just finished four rounds in Dark Souls.”
There was complete silence.
Everyone present gasped …
In the game designer’s interview, it was a common and unimportant routine to ask the interviewee what game he played and what segment he was in.
Some video game designers were good at playing games, while others were terrible at it. There were even some who didn’t like playing games at all and could still be video game designers.
It was because designing a game and playing a game were two completely different things. Just like a chef and a customer, liking to eat didn’t necessarily mean that they knew how to cook.
Of course, as a video game designer, if you played well, you could get extra points in the interview.
But wasn’t li jingsi’s level a little too good?
Reaching the top of the ladder in Warcraft was already unbelievable. After all, it was a real-time strategy game that had high requirements for hand speed, which was not good for female players.
To be able to reach the highest level in both Warcraft and League of Legends, it could be described as cheating. Many professional players from traditional RTS games switched to League of Legends, but many of them were stuck at the diamond rank …
Moreover, li jingsi had successfully completed four rounds of Dark Souls, a game that was publicly acknowledged to be insane. That was even more unbelievable …
Even the professional video game designers were dissuaded after trying out Dark Souls, let alone the girls. At most, they could only get through one round of the game to see the plot.
Zhang Bei really wanted to ask, girl, does your family know that you’re so cool?
Zhang Bei coughed twice.”With your level, you can totally become a streamer. Did you have similar thoughts before?”
Li jingsi shook her head.”No, I don’t think there’s any point in being a streamer.”
Zhang Bei and Qiu bin looked at each other, both thinking that this girl was pretty independent.
Normally, if a normal person could play League of Legends to the level of the king, they would definitely try to do a live stream. After all, the live stream industry was so popular now. Those big live streamers could easily earn hundreds of thousands or millions a year. Many people were trying their best to get into the live stream industry.
If he was really talented and had outstanding gaming skills, this was equivalent to a gift from the heavens. How could he be completely uninterested in the streamer?
Moreover, with li jingsi’s looks and skills, she would definitely be a pillar of the livestream, right? Even if he didn’t like to talk or joke, as long as he sat in front of the computer, turned on the camera, and played a King ranked game, his popularity would still rise!
Zhang Bei said,”hmm…You mean you’re not interested in live streaming?” Then why are you interested in game design?”
“Oh, I’m actually not interested in game design,” li jingsi said.
Zhang Bei was speechless.
