After temporarily locking the z-axis, except for Director Li who continued to find and solve ground collision detection problems, the other planners and programmers of Holy Grail Studio basically returned to the normal work schedule, working towards the review of the alpha version.

Sprint. Not only are working hours extended to after nine o'clock in the evening, but it is also common to be busy until eleven or two o'clock due to temporary emergencies. In addition, it was announced that until the end of the alpha version, people must come to the company to work overtime on Saturdays.

Of course, as before, the art department and administrative departments are exceptions to the normal commute.

On this day, Chief Xu suddenly asked Ling Xingning, Liu Kewei, She Jinshan and Duan Shanshan to go to the conference room for a meeting. The theme was to review the main storyline of the game. It was not that he deliberately excluded Cao Gong, but the work and plot of the system team.

There are really very few interactions.

"I ran through our task process again yesterday, and some feelings are getting stronger and stronger. How can I put it..." Chief Xu held the tea cup and stared at Duan Shanshan who was sitting opposite and looking down at the record book with a half-smile. "

I think our game plot is a bit too reserved. It’s not that Duan Shanshan’s story is not well written, but it’s just a little far away from the direction that most players like. It’s not grounded enough. What do you think?

?”

Xu Zhuce turned to look at Ling Xingning, gesturing for him to intervene.

Is it finally time to unsheath my sword? Ling Xingning sighed silently. On one side, he was the only boss in the entire Holy Grail Studio who could be said to "support" him. On the other side, he was named

Since your subordinate is actually a colleague who is your competitor, you should know which side to side with without even thinking about it.

"I basically agree with what Zhuce Xu said," Ling Xingning adjusted the frame of the mirror and said, "In fact, I often read online novels on some websites. The readers of these novels should have similar tastes to the players of our games.

of.Today’s young people

Because of their fast-paced life and accustomed to fast-food cultural products, most of them are looking for experiences such as 'stimulation' and 'refreshment'. In contrast, the plots of our games are too high-spirited and not good enough.

Blood isn't tacky enough to attract their attention."

Opposite them, Duan Shanshan still looked down at his notebook, but his face was slowly turning red. She Jinshan, who was sitting next to him, twisted his body uneasily and changed his sitting position.

Xu Zhuce saw it, so he called him by name and said, "She Jinshan, do you have anything to say?"

"No, no, I rarely read novels, I don't play many games, and I don't usually pay much attention to game plots." She Jinshan smiled innocently, and honestly avoided this topic in a field that he was not good at.

"Where's Liu Kewei?" Director Xu smiled and turned to the other person next to She Jinshan, "It doesn't matter what you think of. Just tell me how you feel about the plot when you play the game."

If in the planning department, Xu Zhuce and Ling Xingning are on one side, then Liu Kewei, Duan Shanshan, Cao Gong and She Jinshan are obviously on the other side, and Liu Kewei is also a vague opinion leader on this side.

Although he is far inferior to Duan Shanshan in terms of age, several years younger than Cao Gong, and barely older than She Jinshan, when faced with Xu Zhuce's pressure, he is often the only one who can occasionally argue with reason.

No one expected that what he said after hesitating for a long time would be like this.

"I also support Xu Zhuce's view. Our plot cannot be said to be bad, but it is indeed unattractive to most players. The world view and chronicle designed by Uncle Duan are both majestic and majestic, but the specifics

The details of the story may be a bit overwhelming, and there is no deliberate effort to cater to the players’ preferences.”

She Jinshan stared at Liu Kewei with his eyes wide open in disbelief, "What kind of trouble are you trying to make? Could it be that you were secretly "collected" by Chief Xu? Why did you agree with other people's opinions so rashly?

Even Duan Shanshan couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Liu Kewei in surprise.

Liu Kewei curled his lips, coughed and continued: "Of course I would like to add that Uncle Duan's plot definitely has its own advantages. First of all, he has a solid grasp of the three views, and there are no sensitive issues that can easily cause controversy.

This will reduce a lot of pressure on our project in the approval process of the Ministry of Culture; secondly, the direction of the plot advancement is reasonable and reasonable.

But it is unexpected and never far-fetched; in addition, the characters of most of the plot characters are very real and full. There are no absolute good guys and no complete bad guys. All conflicts and disputes are due to the conflict of values. These advantages

Others may not be able to do it. The only flaw is that the selling point is not enough to cater to the market.”

This seemingly "explicit" explanation failed to completely relieve Duan Shanshan, who was criticized. Even Lao Liu thought that the selling point of the game's plot was not enough? He has accumulated confidence bit by bit in the field of writing over the past few years.

It seemed that in an instant it turned into a clay sculpture palace built by urchins on the beach, and was swept away by the tide without a trace.

Xu Zhuce showed a rare understanding smile. He didn't quite understand why Liu Kewei suddenly agreed with his views at the meeting today, but that was not important to him. What was important was that he justifiably took the opportunity to implement his ideas.

The second step of the plan to add sand to the planning department...

"Since everyone has the same feeling, Duan Shanshan, please make modifications to the existing main tasks and dialogues based on the opinions we have put forward." Chief Xu made a decision immediately, "Come out with the modification plan in three days.

We will have a meeting to evaluate at that time. If there is no improvement, it means that you are unable to undertake the copywriting work alone, and I will consider hiring another copywriting planner to assist you."

Duan Shanshan didn't remember how she left the conference room. After returning to the planning department in a daze, she chatted about the notebook and signature pen, grabbed a cigarette and a lighter, and walked to the reception room.

There are two smokers who are not familiar with the program department in the living room. After greeting each other politely, Duan Shanshan opens the door to the small balcony, walks out and holds on to the railing to look at the street view downstairs.

, a feeling of dizziness caused by the bird's-eye view from a height of nearly 100 meters suddenly hit his face. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly closed his eyes...

"You don't want to jump, do you?" A familiar voice sounded behind him, seemingly with a little joking smile.

"If my answer is 'yes', you will definitely laugh at me for being hopeless, right? If my answer is 'no', you will still laugh at me for pretending to be frustrated, right?" Duan Shanshan closed his eyes and didn't even look up.

Answered back.

"So what's your answer?" the voice asked unhurriedly.

“One word is ‘get out’!” Duan Shanshan said while raising her middle finger.

"I don't believe your ability to withstand blows is that bad." Liu Kewei walked up to him nonchalantly, lit a cigarette, and stood side by side with him.

The wind gradually picked up and blew the corners of their clothes. Duan Shanshan did not answer and continued to stand in silence.

"You don't need me to explain it to you, do you?" Liu Kewei seemed to be saying to himself, "Of course I know very well Xu Zhuce's motivation for talking about the plot of the game, but no matter what his motivation is, at least what he and Ling Xingning said does make sense.

.Writing plot missions and dialogues more closely to the preferences of players has only advantages and no disadvantages for our project. Speaking of facts, I support this from the bottom of my heart."

"If you are not satisfied with the plot tasks and dialogues I wrote, I won't mind. It doesn't matter if you want others to write them. I can resign and leave at any time." Duan Shanshan said softly, "You can tell me earlier, I

You can also get rid of it earlier, I have already said that staying in this team is very depressing."

"You think too much. I have never thought about letting you leave this team." Liu Kewei rubbed his chin and said seriously, "I just think that based on the current game plot, you can do better, and you should.

To do better, you just can't let go of the stinky habit of some niche people admiring themselves. You should lower your bottom line appropriately, be closer to the audience, and be more friendly. What's wrong with that?"

"You also want me to write a story like Long Aotian's? Playing cool, pretending to be cool, slapping people in the face, bowing to me when the tiger's body shakes the young man's head, hooking his fingers and sending beautiful women into his arms?" Duan Shanshan was a little impatient.

He stood up and said, "After all, isn't this what the audience wants to see? It's not like I don't know that there are many, many people who can write this kind of thing. Why does it have to be me? Wouldn't it be better for everyone if someone else does it?

"

"You are too extreme." Liu Kewei shook his head and said, "I didn't ask you to reach that level, but didn't you really realize that in the level 60 game plot, the conflicts you wrote were all camp conflicts?

These are all differences in values. These are not bad, but they are just

Wouldn’t it be too monotonous to have all this? We often talk about the four words grudges, love and hatred. If you only talk about grudges, where is the love and hatred? To take the simplest example, there are nearly a hundred characters in six scenes, and even one decent scene

There is no love story at all, do you think this is enough?"

Duan Shanshan rubbed his nose in embarrassment and fell silent. As a single person, he actually has no prejudice against love stories. He just lacks some personal experience and only indirectly gained some second opinions from other people's stories and works.

My hands have a confused and paradoxical feeling, and I always feel less confident when writing about things that are about flowers and moonlight, so I have developed the habit of subconsciously avoiding those elements when writing.

"Your sister, you have written fantasy novels and won awards. Have you met magicians, dwarves and elves? Who said you have to experience things yourself before you can write about them!" Liu Kewei listened.

After Duan Shanshan finished his feeble defense, he couldn't help but criticize it angrily and funnyly.

"So there are actually very few fantasy elements in the fantasy novels I write. Many friends say that I write fantasy novels wrapped in fantasy parchment." Duan Shanshan said calmly.

"You have a mental disorder, you must be shocked!" Liu Kewei complained mercilessly, "You just don't have self-confidence, it doesn't mean you can't write those things, just go ahead and write, I have always been very optimistic about you."
