Speech! Interview

He had talked big before, but he truly hadn't expected Wang Chuan to actually turn down Three Factories!!!

That was Three Factories!!!

For people like them, studying game development, Three Factories was practically the best possible choice.

Looking at the nonstop messages Xiao Ming had sent, Wang Chuan understood what he was thinking.

But he merely smiled and didn't reply.

He had transmigrated here, so he possessed far more experience.

To Xiao Ming and the others, Three Factories was holy ground, the best choice possible.

But to him, the so-called Three Factories was merely a somewhat stronger game company.

It wasn't as though he knew nothing about Three Factories.

In the gaming industry, Three Factories didn't exactly have a good reputation.

Besides, it was shackled by capital. If he joined Three Factories, he definitely wouldn't have the freedom he had now.

So his goal had always been clear: become his own boss, not work for someone else.

He had finally come to a world that was incredibly supportive of games.

With the help of the Legendary Game Producer System and the countless classic games from Earth.

Three Factories? I could replace them!!!

Still filled with such lofty ambitions, Wang Chuan now needed to finish writing his speech~~~

Although the school would revise it afterward, that didn't really matter.

As long as he could get onstage and give the speech.

While Wang Chuan buried himself in his speech draft, discussion of The Stanley Parable in the gaming community grew increasingly heated.

For no other reason than the continued growth of The Stanley Parable's numbers.

They had already reached a terrifying level.

As a low-priced indie game.

Its downloads had actually surpassed two million. Although that included repeat downloads, the number was still terrifying even after excluding them.

The number of paying players had also reached two hundred thousand.

That would have been normal if it had happened to a master.

But for a rookie producer to achieve it, it was downright shocking.

Of course, what left the deepest impression was still the content of The Stanley Parable.

Its many varied endings, the naturally controlled game Narrator, cleverly designed script, and the game's profound underlying meaning that made people reflect.

But most importantly, the game gave players the feeling of breaking through the fourth wall.

All of that had sent The Stanley Parable soaring.

The news and gaming media were unanimously reviewing The Stanley Parable.

On game forums, some producers were analyzing the fresh elements in The Stanley Parable.

After all, that feeling of breaking through the fourth wall could very well become a new trendsetter.

The weather was clear today, the breeze gentle, and the sunlight perfect.

After straightening his clothes, Wang Chuan headed to the school auditorium to give a speech at the graduation ceremony.

The speech itself was very conventional, not much different from past speeches, more of a formality than anything else.

What drew more attention was Wang Chuan himself.

After all, the school's primary subject was game development.

And The Stanley Parable's sudden explosion in the market had made everyone familiar with the game.

It was worth mentioning that this year's admissions had actually used the game and Wang Chuan himself as selling points.

Unexpectedly, that had attracted quite a few applicants.

But that was a matter for later, so there was no need to mention it for now.

The speech ended quickly. Wang Chuan often listened to speeches himself and knew full well how miserable the audience could be.

So he had made his speech very short—just a little over an hour.

Ahem, there was no helping it. That was the school's bottom line~~~

"Hello, Senior. We'll be holding an interview shortly, so please don't rush off."

At that moment, a junior girl hurried over and stopped Wang Chuan just as he turned to leave.

"Ah? An interview?"

Wang Chuan was somewhat bewildered. The school hadn't notified him about it!

"Yes, this interview is organized by the student union, though the school will repost it afterward."

"Oh, I see. Then where should I wait?"

"The public lecture classroom~~"

And so, Wang Chuan had no choice but to turn around and head to the public lecture classroom.

He didn't wait long before the interview began.

Wang Chuan didn't object to the interview. After all, increasing his own exposure could shift some of the attention from The Stanley Parable to him, its producer.

That would be very useful for his upcoming plans.

But did that make him the first producer to compete with his own game for attention?

"Hello, Senior. Which company do you plan to join in the future? Has Three Factories approached you?"

"Three Factories did approach me, and the offer was quite good. But in the future, I'd rather go out and make my own way. As the saying goes: if we don't go crazy now, we'll be old soon~~"

"I see. It seems Senior has great ambitions. By the way, have you thought about your next game yet?"

"Of course. I'm not someone who can sit still. I already have ideas for my next game, but first I'll get my studio up and running."

The junior students below watched Wang Chuan speak with ease, their hearts filled with admiration.

It had to be said, those words sounded extremely punchable.

But backed by The Stanley Parable's terrifying results.

When Wang Chuan said them, they somehow seemed perfectly justified—and even more charming.

Of course, he wasn't talking nonsense. He had thought it through carefully.

If he wanted to increase his exposure, he needed something explosive.

And what could be more explosive than controversy?

That was why he had said such arrogant words that didn't match his current standing.

Without anyone noticing, The Stanley Parable's downloads had broken through three million.

The number of paying players had reached three hundred thousand and was climbing toward five hundred thousand.

With such massive popularity and such absurdly impressive data.

His own following as the producer was still less than one hundred thousand???

Who would believe that?

Of course, that number didn't represent his actual fan count.

But compared to The Stanley Parable's fans, it was utterly insignificant.

Yeah, simply put, he was jealous. The game was more popular than its creator~~~

After the interview, Wang Chuan unusually invited Xiao Ming out.

Not for anything else, but for a farewell meal.

Whether it was the original Wang Chuan or the transmigrated Wang Chuan, their only friend was unexpectedly their deskmate, Xiao Ming.

That was ridiculous~~~

"Wang Chuan, Brother Chuan! I didn't expect you to still think of me at a time like this. I seriously don't know what to say. I'm touched!"

The moment he saw Wang Chuan, Xiao Ming spoke with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Chuan, I saw in your interview that you said you were going to start a studio?"

"Yeah. I'm organizing the materials now. All I'm short on is funding, so I'm planning to get a bank loan."

Wang Chuan picked up some food with his chopsticks and nodded with a smile.

He estimated that The Stanley Parable would ultimately bring him an income of around two million.
