Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Lin raised his hand and said, “I have something to add. Every little soldier of humankind has his own ideas. It doesn't necessarily collapse, disobey his command, and may take the initiative to kill the bugs and win, right? ”

“It is also clear that these human beings can be linked to pre-war strategies. ”

“For example, what measures have been taken by the commander to influence the morale and mentality of the soldiers, who have gone from their original military hearts to their hearts. ”

Huang Sibo nodded: “Yes, that's certainly a good practice too. ”

Everyone started recording and talking about it, and some of the prototypes of the game had come out.

This game is completely different from traditional RTS games, emphasizing pre-war rather than in-war tactics, emphasizing authenticity.

Moreover, the game attaches great importance to the plot, which weighs even more than the game itself.

The horses finished recording, and suddenly there was a light: “I suddenly thought of an idea for a plot! ”

“Isn't it fitting that President Pei really likes the idea of 'breaking down dimensional walls' and is stressing authenticity again this time? ”

“If we imply in the plot that the player, all the units in control have a real person inside, and every unit that is sacrificed is a real life… does that have the effect of breaking down the dimensional walls? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi sighed for a moment: “The idea is a good one, but... it's a little outdated. ”

“This idea, someone wrote a science fiction novel as early as 1985, and won the Nebula Award and Hugo Award. Moreover, the story is also about humans and insects, telling a child what they mistakenly think is a game, and the result is that he is actually directing an interstellar war...”

A bunch of horses didn't think, “Of course I know this. It's a science fiction classic. How could I not have seen it? ”

“But literature doesn't mean that you've written a subject that I can't write, like The Ring and then writers can't write western illusions? Of course not. ”

“The key is whether to imitate it badly or write a new idea on the shoulders of the former? ”

“Whether you're writing a book or playing a game, a good idea is the foundation of the foundation, and whether you can use it well depends on how you interpret it. ”

“I think this idea fits this game perfectly and is very much in line with President Pei's consistent philosophy of game design. ”

Zhu Xiaozhi nodded: “Hmm... you're right. But that means we have to find a way to bring this story to life. ”

“If we don't come up with a new idea, it becomes a toothpicker, and movies and games can all fall apart. ”

Everyone is silent again.

Obviously, if you really do this subject, you have to find a way to go beyond the classics, or at least make a different interpretation, which is difficult to imagine.

Huang Sibao was somewhat puzzled: “President Pei still gave too little information this time. ”

Lin Jie repeated General Pei's request and found a blind spot: “I saw that General Pei's request for only one actor, and there was no need for a facial expression. Is this implying a movie plot? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi said: “I've thought about this, there are only two possibilities. ”

“Either this protagonist wears a helmet or a mask throughout, making his face invisible and turning into a face-catching symbol. There are some movies that deal with this. ”

“Either this is the protagonist who was born cold, with no expression. This highlights the character's personality. ”

“But both interpretations make sense, which makes it difficult to choose. ”

The horses thought about it: "Although it all makes sense, rationality is also different. ”

“If the protagonist is turned into a face-cataloguing symbol, then this symbol must be of pointing significance. In some superhero themes or science fiction, when reflecting social contradictions and social problems, this usage is more common. ”

“But the main story on our side is about the war on science fiction. What does‘ Facebook 'stand for? It seems that no specific fingering intent can be found. ”

“But the point is very clear if it's set up prominently. ”

“What kind of person doesn't have a face? Strong psychological qualities, extremely calm people have no expression. ”

“I recall reading a previous report that astronauts in our country had a very strong psychological qualities and that even when the ship was launching, the heartbeat was still less than 80 beats per minute, and even when they mistakenly thought they were about to die, the heartbeat did not fluctuate too much. ”

“People like this are definitely unlikely to be emotionally enriched, faceless is the normal thing to do, very much in line with Bae's role requirements. ”

Zhu Xiaozheng thought: “So Pei is always hinting at us, the main character is a psychologically challenged astronaut? ”

“Moreover, there is only one protagonist and the others are dragonflies, which means that most of the time is the protagonist's monologue. In a relatively independent space, commanding a battle with the Bugs? ”

“If we combine Bae's idea of breaking down dimensional walls, we can roughly determine the prototype of a story:”

“The protagonist is a trained space veteran and a commander, who commands the fleet and the Bugs fighting most of the time through the screen. ”

“But is he directing a real man or not? Does he know that? That is the key. ”

Everyone is silent again.

The clues left by President Pei are almost deduced, but a sufficiently clear outline of the story has not yet been deduced.

Game mechanisms affect movie drama, which in turn affects game mechanisms. The whole project is hard to do as long as there's one thing that can't be fixed.

Huang Sibo thought, “Why don't I ask President Pei again? ”

“Let him know what we came up with and let him give us some more tips? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi shook his head and said resolutely: "No! ”

“Since this is all he has to say, he does not intend to disclose any more information. ”

“Nor can we always count on President Pei for everything. ”

“" Game Maker, "" Good Tomorrow, "" Struggle "and so on, are all carried by General Pei's hand, but we can't wait for General Pei to feed them to his mouth. ”

“We have to work on our own to write a good story. President Pei has set the big framework for us, we should play part of it ourselves. ”

Everyone looked at each other and thought Zhu Xiaozhi's words made sense.

Indeed, we can't always count on President Bae, we have to work on our own!

This time, President Pei just gave a big direction, without giving too much detail.

But it also means that you have a great deal of freedom in gameplay and storytelling architecture, and this is the opportunity to try and break through.

After several rounds of brainstorming, the paper in front of the crowd was filled with dense numbness.

Although it has not been fully finalized, the general direction is already very clear.

Huang Sibao tapped the table softly: "Well, I think we've had enough today. President Pei gave us a mission, and we can't expect a fat man to eat it. ”

“When you get back, calm down and wait for the sedimentation before looking back at the content. ”

“I'm going to have a group chat, and I want you to feel free to share any good ideas. ”

“Don't delay this while you prepare to think. ”

“Xianbin, make a big framework on your side. Those art needs, including the original paintings of human soldiers, warships, insect species, etc. can be prepared as soon as possible. ”

“The same is true for Flying Yellow Studios, where the preparation begins well after the identifiable parts have been identified. ”

“What good ideas come to mind all of a sudden while preparing for it? ”

Everyone nodded and rose.

Huang Sibo once again thanked everyone. After all, Lu Mingliang, Lin Night, Ma and other people had nothing to do with the project. He came here to help purely.

Lu Mingliang and Lin Xiao also said you are welcome. After all, this is General Bai's project, everyone is obliged!

Soon, everyone left.

Zhu Xiaozhi said to Huang Sibao: "Brother Huang, I was wondering, why don't we give the star first? Lu Zhiyuao seems to be in gear lately. ”

Huang Sibao stunned for a moment: “Of course, Lu Zhiyuan is fine, but he is a good actor. Is it a waste of time for you to let him play a role with no expression? Besides, isn't the script still set? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi said: “I have an idea to find Lu Zhiyuao to verify. ”

Huang Sibao: “What's the idea? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi said: “I intend to lock him up, play games for a few days, and bring him into the character. Maybe you'll find some inspiration in the process? ”

……

Zhu Xiaozhi came to the conference room and dialed Lu Zhiyuan's phone.

“Hello? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi opened the door and said: “President Bai wants to invest 300 million in a new film. Do you have an idea? ”

Lu Zhiyuan's voice was a surprise: "Yes, of course! ”

Many companies say how much money they spend to make a movie is often bullshit, and how little money they really invest in the movie itself.

But Bae doesn't play those word games. He says he can only throw 300 million. This is a good big production!

General Bai's project is definitely a good project. Even if Lu Zhiyuan gets paid less, he must come.

Lu Zhiyuan looked forward to: “Zhu Zhi, do you have a script? Send it to me first? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi silenced for a moment: “Uh... the script is not nearly finished, why don't you come to Jingzhou first, let's start with a long plan? ”

Lu Zhiyuan: “Almost? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi spoke very firmly: “Well, almost! ”

Lu Zhiyuan thought, “So, Zhu, is there another actor in this play? Uncle Zhang, are they coming? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi: “Uh... just you for now. You're the star, there 'll be other actors in the back. ”

For some reason, Luke remote sensing has a slightly unreliable taste.

But thinking about it, after all, this is General Pei's project, there's nothing to worry about.

Lu Zhiyuan nodded immediately: “Okay, I'll be ready in two days! ”
