Chapter 40 Interview
All these requirements are added together, and Chen Mo is looking for someone like this:
Young and have potential to tap.
He has a relatively comprehensive ability and can be competent for the work of an assistant.
Have a basic understanding of the game.
Reliable character and trustworthy.
According to this standard, Chen Mo filtered all the resumes sent today.
The result is regrettable.
No one met Chen Mo's requirements.
Of course, Chen Mo had long been mentally prepared for this result. His requirements were very strict. It was the first day, and he didn't have to worry at all.
...
Three days later.
At 10 a.m., the experience store opened normally. Chen Mo used his laptop to continue writing the design documents for the new version of "Plant vs. Zombies" at the front desk.
This time, several major functions are relatively simple, all of which are based on the original framework and the rules are very clear, so they are very smooth to write and there is not much to consider repeatedly.
The big framework is almost done, and the next work is mainly to refine the documents and produce them.
Within these three days, Chen Mo received many resumes of candidates and arranged four or five interviews, but was not very satisfied with the results and did not find the assistant or front desk he wanted.
The few people who came to the interview were either almost spiritual or too cautious and had their own problems, and Chen Mo was not satisfied.
After all, there is still a difference between reading resumes and real interviews. Words and deeds, words and deeds, and some subtleties can also reflect some things.
Chen Mo's standard is that unless he encounters something that makes him particularly satisfied, he will not consider anything else.
He will definitely not make it.
"Hello, I'm here for the interview." A voice said.
Chen Mo looked up and saw a girl outside the door, about 23 years old, with short hair and bangs, very cute, and a heartfelt smile on her face, which was very contagious.
"Oh, hello, please come in."
Chen Mo stood up and took out his long-printed resume from the side.
Chen Mo took the girl to the conference room and poured a glass of water.
Su Jinyu, 23 years old, is a senior student in the art major of a well-known key university in the imperial capital. During his time at school, he received various rewards and was almost unable to write down his resume.
However, Chen Mo roughly judged that Su Jinyu was not a strong backbone like Wen Lingwei, but a labor-oriented model. The various rewards on the resume were basically some hard work and tiring work that others were unwilling to do.
In other words, she is not the kind of speculative student, but on the contrary, she is more down-to-earth and capable of working.
So far, Chen Mo has a good impression of Su Jinyu.
"I have read your resume and understand the basic situation. The interview is just a casual chat, so you don't have to be nervous." Chen Mo said.
Su Jinyu nodded: "Yes!"
Chen Mo felt that she was worried too much, and Su Jinyu didn't have any nervousness at all. She should have seen such scenes in school. It may also be that she is born with a big heart.
"You can write on your resume, both the front desk and the assistant, why?" Chen Mo asked.
Su Jinyu said, "Ah, because I think if I can't be an assistant, I'll be a front desk. I should be able to learn something when I'm a front desk."
This is a very pragmatic answer. Chen Mo could see that Su Jinyu's attitude was relatively low, probably because she had tried to be a game designer herself before but failed.
"Why don't you become a painter in the art major, but choose to be a game designer? I read your hand-painting, and I have a high level and can be competent for the original painter." Chen Mo asked again.
Su Jinyu replied: "Well...on the one hand, it is because I can also use my ability in painting as a designer, and on the other hand, I think game designers are a more creative profession."
Chen Mo said: "But you have also tried to develop some independent games and have never obtained the status of a designer. Do you feel that you are not talented enough?"
Su Jinyu said: "Well, maybe I have no talent, but I will not give up!"
Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask the next question: "What do you think is the most important quality of game designers?"
Su Jinyu frowned slightly. It was obvious that this was a relatively empty question and she needed to think about it for a while.
"Well, I think the most important quality of a game designer is to stick to your own beliefs." Su Jinyu replied.
Chen Mo was stunned: "Faith?"
Su Jinyu explained: "Ah, don't get me wrong, it's not the kind of belief in the traditional sense. I mean, game designers should always stick to their true nature and make games that move players, bringing them happiness and inspiration."
Chen Mo thought for a while and asked, "If there was a chance now, you would make a game with a bad reputation but profitable reputation, would you do it?"
Su Jinyu was a little confused: "Why do you make money if you have a bad reputation?"
Chen Mo said: "It's just an assumption."
Su Jinyu thought for a moment: "Well... I don't know. I can only say that if this game makes me think it's a bad game, then I won't do it even if I make money."
Chen Mo continued to ask: "What if I want to make a game like this?"
Su Jinyu was stunned: "Ah? You are the designer of "Plant vs. Zombies". How could you ignore reputation for money if you can make such a game?"
Chen Mo said: "To be honest, I have a high possibility to develop some money-making but bad reputation games in the future. If you can't accept this, then we will not be able to cooperate."
Su Jinyu frowned slightly, obviously this choice made her a little confused.
After thinking for a while, Su Jinyu said, "I shouldn't be able to change your mind. To be honest, I like the game "Plant vs. Zombies". I think if you can develop such a game, you must be a talented genius designer. Being your assistant will definitely learn a lot."
"I am relatively stupid. I used to be a game designer myself, but I didn't succeed, so I want to start with an assistant and learn something."
"Do you think this is OK? I'll be in the front desk, but you can also let me take on some assistant work. If I encounter a game I don't like, I can choose not to do it."
Su Jinyu's attitude was very sincere. He neither gave up his persistence nor tried to influence Chen Mo's concept.
If you are an assistant, then Su Jinyu must completely obey Chen Mo's orders in game design. Even if Chen Mo asks her to make games she doesn't like, she must do them. This is the professional cultivation of a game designer assistant.
Therefore, Su Jinyu wanted to be the front desk and serve as an assistant. This is a relatively compromise.
Chen Mo thought for a moment.
Su Jinyu is the most satisfied candidate he has so far. The most important thing is that Su Jinyu has a natural love for games, and she is a person who is full of positive energy, has a positive attitude, and is very capable of infecting others. It should be very pleasant to work with such people.
However, what worries Chen Mo is that Su Jinyu and his ideas are not exactly in line with each other.
Obviously, Su Jinyu is a person who must "make money while standing", while Chen Mo is different.
The game industry is very dangerous. In front of Chen Mo, there are behemoths like Dichao Interactive Entertainment and Zen Interactive Entertainment, and countless latecomers are eyeing it. To be the only winner in this environment, it is not enough to just rely on the few high-quality games in your previous life.
Chen Mo needs a lot of money to develop large-scale high-quality games, so for him, his only goal now is to make more money, and it doesn’t matter if he sacrifices some reputation for the time being.
This will definitely conflict with Su Jinyu's ideas.
