You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 126 Stupid Shit Scooper (Please Subscribe)
Darkman on the stage was about fifty years old and had a thick and lush beard.

He was wearing a stylish casual suit with his shirt open, and he looked relaxed and arrogant.

His eyes swept across the guests in the audience sharply, his voice filled with sarcasm:

"Forgive me for being blunt, but this is what I see happening.

At present, China's gaming industry is not so much about its gaming graphics technology lagging behind the times, but rather it is completely stagnant in all aspects.

You lack professional screenwriters, so many game products do not have complete IP operations.

At the same time, you lack people who truly understand gameplay and level design, so your games always lack challenge.

Most of your studios are still at the handicraft workshop stage and have not established a mature industrial process."

Duckman ruthlessly listed the current state of the industry, and the guests sitting in their seats had different expressions.

Some looked angry, some lowered their heads in shame, some people tried to applaud in support, but most people remained silent.

Darkman continued to laugh:
"Even the so-called rising stars in the game were discussing how to more cleverly defraud more money from players.

Therefore, most games on the Chinese market cannot be called games, but are just cruel social software that competes with players' financial resources.

Even in this forum just now, you always talked about red ocean and blue ocean, revenue and profit.

None of you talk about the art of game design. Games should be the ninth art, but you treat it as a mere money-making tool."

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the domestic producers in the audience, plunging them into silence and embarrassment.

Some people were angry about the provocation and ridicule of the foreign producer, but were unable to refute it immediately.

The games produced by Naughty Dog are ranked among the best in the history of world video games in terms of sales and awards.

It even won the TGA Game of the Year award, which is known as the Oscars of gaming. This is the highest honor that game developers around the world can enjoy.

And it seems that there has never been a Chinese game winning on this list of winners.

Most of the manufacturers in the audience do not have the ability to produce 3A stand-alone games, and are not even qualified to compete with each other.

Therefore, Duckman has the capital to be arrogant.

Lu Yu also recalled that the trailer for Black Myth: Wukong, a Chinese game that was truly a 3A masterpiece that matched international standards, had to wait ten years before it was released.

Many guests clenched their fists tightly, knowing that what the producer said was not entirely unreasonable.

They are not stupid and are well aware of the problems in the domestic gaming industry, but they still feel extremely humiliated when these weaknesses are pointed out so bluntly by a foreigner.

What's more, the domestic market is about to face the impact of home console games.

A haze hangs over the hearts of practitioners.

Faced with the sarcasm and provocation of this foreign producer, Lu Yu knew that now was not the time to refute.

However, in his subconscious, there was already a small, inconspicuous flame, which was ignited by the producer's words.

……

After the forum session, there will be free time for socializing.

The atmosphere in the venue gradually returned to being lively, and many reporters rushed towards Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan like released beasts.

The crowd was pushing and shoving, and the cameras and microphones were almost touching their faces. Lu Yu raised his hand to protect Liu Mengyuan to prevent her from being pushed down.

A reporter couldn't wait to ask:

"Mr. Lu, tell me the truth, what is the secret to Taoyuan Township's success?"

Lu Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "To be honest, I really don't know."

This was said sincerely, and he really didn't want to be so successful. Who knew that the hit product would come and he couldn't get rid of it.

If he wasn't troubled by this, why would he hide on the island or go out for a stroll with his employees?

Seeing the disappointed expressions on the reporters' faces, Liu Mengyuan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she added very appropriately:
“Although, we still don’t understand the reasons for our success.

But we will do our best to pursue new dreams and share the valuable experiences and memories formed in this process with everyone in the future."

Lu Yu glanced at Liu Mengyuan's pretty profile.

As expected of a vice president, she responded very appropriately. The more I look at this good wife, the more satisfied I am with her.

After the Q&A session, a group of people in suits and ties gathered around enthusiastically. "Hello, Mr. Lu, we are from Tenghui's Strategic Investment Department.

Could you please discuss Tenghui's investment in Taoyuan Township? Don't worry, we'll offer excellent investment conditions. After acquiring a stake, your games will be able to use our TT and WeChat channels, as well as receive technical support from our Unreal Engine.

Furthermore, we only invest money and never interfere with daily operations.”

Lu Yu shook his head and declined the offer.

Once Tenghui acquires shares, it means that the company may lose its dominance in the future. Moreover, Tenghui may parachute in a group of high-roller directors, and no matter how many points are accumulated, they will not be enough to deduct.

After Tenghui’s people left in disappointment, the bosses of other small and medium-sized game studios also came forward to hand out their business cards.

Lingniu Interactive Entertainment, Shengju Company, Beautiful World, Nanshanju, Soumao Changyou, and Heartbeat Network...

Yesterday, Taoyuan Township really vented their anger towards You Yi at their own booth.

Lu Yu did not reject these goodwill gestures. More friends mean more paths.

With the official end of the industry annual meeting, this year's EASTJOY came to a perfect end.

Taoyuan Township is the biggest winner of this exhibition. Major online forums are still discussing various anecdotes and gossips about this exhibition.

……

8 month 28 day.

On the weekend after the exhibition, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan rested at home.

The warm sunlight shines through the window onto the floor of the master bedroom, making it so warm that it makes people feel lazy.

Liu Mengyuan lay on the small sofa, holding a food magazine in her hand, enjoying the rare tranquility.

She was wearing a loose white cotton shirt tied at the waist, outlining her slender waist and smooth, long legs.

The slightly curly long hair gleams with an alluring luster in the sunlight.

Just as she was immersed in the delicious food in the book with her mouth drooling, Dabai jumped in from the window sill next door.

The wise blue cat eyes sparkled, and it jumped onto the sofa happily, starting to twist its chubby body and roll around to act cute.

It kept rolling in front of Liu Mengyuan, patting Liu Mengyuan's legs with its small claws, as if to signal:

"Stupid shit scooper, come and play with me."

Liu Mengyuan smiled, bent down, and gently stroked Dabai's fur.

Dabai began to enjoy the master-level cat-stroking skills, and his throat emitted waves of comfortable purring sounds.

Liu Mengyuan's nails were carefully trimmed and painted with light pink nail polish, making her slender hands look even more delicate.

As her fingers shuttled back and forth in Dabai's fur, her mood became peaceful and happy.

Dabai turned over and lay completely on Liu Mengyuan's big white legs with a lazy look on his face.

It raised its little paws and fiddled with Liu Mengyuan's fingers. Liu Mengyuan was instantly amused by this cute action and laughed out loud.

"This... is simply too foul!"

She held up her cell phone camera and began to focus on filming Baymax.

At this time, Lu Yu was reading in the study.
Looking from his direction, Liu Mengyuan sometimes squatted and sometimes leaned over, each movement showing her perfect body curves. Her hair was raised from time to time, revealing her slender neck, which was sexy yet pure.

The moment she leaned over the small sofa, the collar of her shirt was slightly open, and Lu Yu could catch a glimpse of her proud, snow-white and plump cleavage.

He thought to himself, "Great job, Baymax. Keep going!"

Afterwards, Liu Mengyuan took the video to the computer and started editing it.

Since the promotional video at the EASTJOY exhibition achieved great success, Liu Mengyuan also fell in love with video editing.

While I was cutting, a prompt popped up on the system screen:
[Congratulations, the host's repeated practice has triggered the minimum, and the "Video Editing" skill has been upgraded to Lv3]

"If you're willing to edit videos, you can take some videos of Baymax and upload them to D Station. It would be nice to be a UP host in the cute pet section."

Lu Yu smiled.
