Shadow queen development plan

In particular, the rapid development of the Internet has made online games possible, and the queuing game culture in Jiufeng’s living room has been impacted to a certain extent.

Although for light players in Europe and the United States, this impact is still acceptable so far, but for deep players, it is obviously more convenient to find passersby directly online instead of waiting for a friend to play the game. .

Although these are only minor problems for Jiufeng Company, Jiufeng Shion doesn't want to wait until the general trend of home consoles has passed before responding. It would be too passive.

Especially looking at the old rival Sony next door, relying on mutual support among other industries, leading itself in market value, it is impossible to say that you are not jealous.

Although this series of business items such as the electronic product department, games, movies, music, insurance, finance, etc. are called unjust business by Jiufeng's old people, Jiufeng Ziyuan sees its advantages.

With so many business items, even if there is an accidental loss of one business item, other fields can still have sufficient profit capital to ensure that this department continues to develop in the industry, rather than leaving the market sadly.

Take a look at Sega, which has lost ground in the console market. Although the exact news has not been announced, it is basically certain that Sega will discontinue the production of DC consoles and completely withdraw from the hardware market.

Sega's failure can be said to be a lesson for the past. Jiufeng Ziyuan does not want Jiufeng to fall to this point in the future.Even if Jiufeng's foundation is thicker than Sega, it can't withstand the successive failures of the game console.

Therefore, expanding more business projects can be said to be an imperative task for Jiufeng at present, but it is a pity that those conservative old people don’t understand Shion’s ideas at all. They think Jiufeng Shion is just messing around. People thought she was too young to be the chairman of Jiufeng.

Had it not been for Washimine’s current president Satoshi Iwata to support her, Shion Washamine would probably have the title of chairman but no real power.

But the support that Satoshi Iwata's brother can give her ends here. As a game expert, Satoshi Iwata lacks sensitivity to businesses other than games.In addition, he is now presiding over the development of a new generation of handhelds and mainframes.

Shion didn't give the brother who had been taking good care of herself to continue to cause trouble, and she was ready to solve these problems by herself.

So since taking the position of chairman, Jiufeng Ziyuan has been trying to use various methods to remove those old people who oppose diversified development from the power core of Jiufeng, so that she can maintain her own right to speak as much as possible. .

However, no matter what the outcome of the equity competition is, if the company as a whole cannot produce the corresponding performance, then everything is rootless.

And this movie is the key project of Jiufeng Ziyuan to prove its ability to the whole company and to the supporters of Jiufeng around the world.

So Shion almost invited all directors who have made achievements in commercial films in Japan, hoping that they can provide a suitable project plan.

just--

"Director Kiryu, I have a question." Shumine Shion closed the draft plan in her hand. She squinted her eyes and asked Kiryu Qiye: "Are you sure you are not teasing me?! Or you think we are a eagle. The peak is only suitable for shooting things like this?!"

really...

Qiye sighed in her heart. From Jiufeng Ziyuan's increasingly gloomy face just now, he guessed that the other party would definitely be angry.Being able to get angry after reading all the drafts she proposed, Qiye already felt that the other party's self-cultivation was really quite good.

"Chairman Jiufeng, please allow me to explain."

Jiufeng Shiyuan opened the paper fan in her hand, and she said in a very serious tone: "You only have 3 minutes. After that, I will let Iioka drive you out."

"That's it, Chairman Jiufeng. If it is produced according to the normal Western Fantasy theme, what do you think is the probability of success of this project? Let's not talk about game adaptation, the main difficult theme factor in the movie market, just from the theme. , Do you think the "Saint and the Brave" series can be compared with the current popular "Harry Potter" series and the classic theme of Western Fantasy "The Lord of the Rings"?"

"...I'm afraid not."

After thinking about it for a long time, Jiufeng Ziyuan gave her a somewhat discouraged answer. Although the gaming industry is very profitable, for so many entertainment projects currently on the market, its audience is not large.

This is far from the era of national games 20 years later. Game players in this period are basically core players. Although the talent point of light players has been opened, the number of players is really real. not much.

And the number of fans who pushed down to the "Saint and the Brave" series is even smaller.Whether it is the "Harry Potter" series with countless book fans or the classic "Lord of the Rings" series that has taken 50 years to prove, they are much stronger than their own IP.

Seeing that Jiufeng Ziyuan's attitude had loosened, Qiye hurriedly said, "So, what we have to do is not to find ways to surpass these two series, but to open up a market that these two series cannot reach."

During the time when writing the script for "Goblin Slayer", Qiye thought of many questions.He found that he was thinking about something wrong, he didn't have to compete with "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" at the box office.Instead, what he has to do is to borrow the heat generated by these two films as much as possible to attract the audience to watch his own film.

So how can the audience distinguish this movie from the other two most intuitively?

Using differential grading is obviously a good method.

"So you want to open up the R-rated movie market? But it's too...too nasty." Jiufeng Shion's face turned red, and she felt a little difficult to think that Qiye mentioned various goblin atrocities in the script. Open teeth.

"And...and more importantly, this will damage our company's reputation. You should be very clear that our company's games are always dominated by all ages. This will make the outside world have a very big misunderstanding of our company's game image. , You should be very aware that the argument for demonizing games has always been there."

"So you made a movie of all ages will not change too much the outside world's view of the game." Qiye knew that following this woman's thinking, she would not be able to tell the other party, and she had to find a way to open the other's thinking.

"But Director Kiryu should also be very clear about how much energy and money I have invested in this project. As a result, you have come up with such a crude film project, which is really difficult to accept! And R-rated movies have box office data The above can only be said to be average, and they are all taking the offline profit path. This is completely different from the result of using the high box office to expand the impact I hope!

Jiufeng Shion still has deep concerns about Qiye's R-rated film proposal, but Qiye has his own ideas.

"Who said that R-rated movies must be shoddy?" Qiye argued for his own project. "Although most R-rated movies are shoddy, they use plasma and emotion (qíng) content to attract audiences. But among them. There are still many well-made movies."

"For example, "The Matrix" released in 1999 won the global box office of 460 million U.S. dollars at the level of R-rated movies. This result is unmatched by many films of all ages. So the potential of the R-rated film market is not Chairman Jiufeng imagined it was so small, just need to have a suitable movie to dig in. What we have to do is how to dig out this usually not very eye-catching market."

In fact, "The Matrix" is not the best example. After all, there are not so many R-rated film iconic elements in this film, otherwise it would not be screened in the heavenly court.So if it is not consciously understood, many people will subconsciously put this science fiction movie into the ranks of PG-13.

It's a pity that the only film "The Matrix" that can be obtained at the box office of the current R-rated movies is not to say that there are no good movies in the R-rated movies, but the box office results are generally average.Even Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" has only $107.9 million in box office results.

Compared to "The Matrix", there is an R-rated superhero movie that is actually more convincing and representative, but the movie "Deadpool" that earned $760 million in the global box office will not be released until 2016. .

In fact, it is precisely because of "Deadpool", this movie that still won a high box office under the two heavyweight superhero movies of the same type, "Captain America: Civil War" and "Superman vs. Batman". Qiye chose the inspiration for "Goblin Slayer".

In fact, it might be much better if you put this project in 2005, because in 2004, an R-rated movie called "The Passion of the Christ" got a global box office of 610 million US dollars.Because that movie is related to Jesus' torture, there are more R-rated elements and more convincing.

How much did Jiufeng Shion understand Qiye's thoughts: "That is to say, you plan to make "The Saint and the Brave" series of movies at the level of "The Matrix"?"

Qiye said very seriously: "Yes, I will try my best to match "The Matrix" in terms of special effects. Although the final result still needs to see the special effects team, I hope I can make this movie as perfect as possible. Of course. Now, unlike "The Matrix", which uses science fiction as its selling point, "Goblin Slayer" will have more R-level elements, especially the protagonist’s various methods of killing goblins, which will be the main selling point of the film."

Although there are many atrocities about goblins in yellow in the original work, Qiye does not intend to write too much on this aspect. He intends to describe more goblins’ killings of people and how the goblin killer is How to kill goblins in various ways.

Looking at all the R-rated movies at the box office, Qiye is very clear that an R-rated movie wants to sell well. There is no problem with blood and violence, but the yellow point is by far the best.

Whether it's "Deadpool", "Wolverine III" or "Passion", they didn't put the R-level elements on the color scene, and at most, it was done after showing it once or twice.

Part of the reason for this is that too many colors can easily be assigned to NG-17. On the other hand, it is also because plasma tablets have a higher audience in Europe and the United States than colors.

"What about the plot? I found that you didn't use any of the main plot lines in the "Saint and the Brave" series. Only in the last battle it was vaguely mentioned that the goddess officer might be the reincarnation of the saint."

Qiye replied naturally: "Because the main storyline of the original book is too long, if the original mainline storyline is used to tell it, it will not be possible for a movie to finish it."

"Rather than thinking about how to compress the plot, it's better to start anew. Anyway, according to the world view setting of the "Saint and the Brave" series, each generation of the saint and the brave are not the same person."

Qiye felt that the blood of the seniors could not be left in vain, and this pit must be avoided.Facts have proved that the game change movies based on the original plot are basically dead, the difference is only how to die.

"Then why did you choose goblins as the subject? Obviously there are so many monsters in the game."

[You ask the snail (the author of Brother Kill) this question, how do I know.

Although this is the answer in my heart, Qiye took the initiative to say his own reasons: "There are mainly two reasons. One reason is that goblins are the most common and lowest-level monsters in the game, although they should give everyone a subjective impression. It is very weak, but in fact, there are not a few players who are actually killed by the goblins in the game. The design of the goblins as the main enemy will have a kind of intimacy for game fans, but for passersby In terms of the original impression, the very weak goblins are actually very difficult enemies. This difference will bring them a sense of freshness."

Qiye didn't lie. When he played "Breath of the Wild" in his previous life, the most dead were in the hands of Poker Brin (the goblin-like monster race in Zelda).The equipment was too bad in the early stage, but in the later stage, due to the increased difficulty of the game, he would always be taken away by Silver Bockbrin.

Especially this group of guys always appear in groups, and they always bring a lot of trouble to Qiye. From this point of view, they are similar to the goblins in the world of "Brother Killer".

"What about the second reason?" Jiufeng Ziyuan hurriedly asked.

"The cost of making goblins is cheaper than other monsters. Most of the monsters can be solved only by makeup, so that more money can be left to make scene effects."
