Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 153 57. This is not the big devil I know!

A week later, Ma Zhijun knocked on the door of the president's office.

"President, the first draft of my script has been written. Please take a look at it."

As he spoke, Brigadier Ma Zhi placed the copy in his hand on Qing Zhiyuan's desk.

"Okay." Qing Zhiyuan glanced at it and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Go and do your work first. I will contact you after I finish reading."

"Yes, President."

Ma Zhizhun looked at his copywriting anxiously, and then walked out.

Tsk tsk.

Look at the documents on the table.

Qing Zhiyuan almost laughed out loud.

This is Ma Zeda's first work.

Qing Zhiyuan was tortured by this guy many times in his previous life, such as "AIR", "CLANNAD", "ANGEL BEATS"... every movie was tear-jerking, Qing Zhiyuan was tortured so much.

Now that I see this face, I have the urge to punch it.

Of course, Lao Xu is not much better.

Lao Xu's knife is faster and sharper, and it's also extremely black.

In comparison, although Ma Zhizhun's knife is also painful, it is relatively healing and warm.

They are indeed the crouching dragons and phoenixes of the hair knife world. No one of these two is kinder than the other.

Qing Zhiyuan adjusted his sitting posture, prepared coffee for himself, and did not forget to put a box of tissue paper next to him, and then closed the door.

After being fully prepared, he opened Ma Zhijun's script.

I saw the words "Bed Man" written on it.

Um?

It's a brand new version that I haven't seen yet.

Although Qing Zhiyuan himself feels that the chance of getting a CL script is too low. After all, Ma Zhi's current life experience is not enough in all aspects, and he is not mature in game production. It is normal for him to be unable to reach the peak level of CL.

But he thought it was the original "MOON" or "ONE ~Season of Light~" by the Demon King.

Of course it would be better if AIR could be written.

But what is in front of me is "The Man in the Bed"

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a love game.

However, Qing Zhiyuan is still a little excited to see a brand new work.

【I never knew what happened

As soon as I woke up, I became a "bed man"

The so-called quilt man refers to a person who has a quilt growing on his body.

horrible……

I actually used the word "long in".

It makes me look like an outlier.

I was sure of this for a long time, but no matter how much I tore it apart, the quilt was still firmly attached to my body and I couldn't break free.

Although I am a homebody and like to eat, drink and have fun under the quilt, even when playing games, I never thought that one day I would really become a quilt man. 】

…

Very interesting setting.

And it also fits Ma Zeda’s style very well.

Qing Zhiyuan thought.

Anyone who knows something about Lao Ma knows that the game works made by this guy are basically inseparable from a few things -

Students, beautiful girls and baseball.

This is probably related to the tear-jerking devil's own life experience. He has a unique complex about campus, and the love between boys and girls always happens in the academy.

Even a post-death work like "angel beats" would have to be made by a group of high school students.

So The Quilt Man also tells a story about high school students.

The male protagonist becomes a [bed man] from the very beginning.

Literally.

The quilt has grown together with the body, just like the male protagonist's skin. If you try to cut it with a knife, it will bleed.

This kind of life makes people feel both funny and extremely desperate.

And under such circumstances, [Bedding Man] met his destined love.

…

The setting is not cliché at all, even Qing Zhiyuan, who transferred from 2023, thinks so.

He originally thought that Ma Zhi would definitely use Lao Xu's methods, such as time tricks, monsters, contaminated humans... elements that looked more serious and dark.

However, Jun Asa's writing style is so relaxed and joyful. It uses a setting similar to Kafka's Metamorphosis, but the style is completely different.

In a world where he is disliked by others, the man in the bed is not sad and despairing, but is very optimistic and has many interesting interactions with the heroine.

…

After reading the entire script, Qing Zhiyuan closed the document and let out a heavy sigh.

What should I say?

The story is a good one, fascinating and tear-jerking, and the characters are quite delicate and rich.

Ma Zeda's style belongs to the type where laughter is accompanied by tears. One second it will make you laugh loudly, and the next second it will make you cry loudly.

All the joy in the front may become a tear bomb in the back.

This work perfectly reflects this.

Even though Ma Zhizhun's writing style is still a little green and immature, and the story is a little thin, Qing Zhiyuan can already taste the unique flavor of the Big Devil.

However, there was one thing he didn't quite understand -

The great tear-jerking demon, Ma Zhizhun, didn’t actually issue a knife? !

How can this be?

Now Qing Zhiyuan finally understands the mentality of those who think it is unbelievable that Gu Yuan Chunqiu does not use the sword.

Although the final finale is an open ending, the emotional tone there has completely changed.

Originally, Qing Zhiyuan thought that one of the male and female protagonists was bound to die.

Unexpectedly, both of them survived.

…

Qing Zhiyuan called Ma Zhizhun into the office, served him coffee, and prepared to talk about the new project.

"I have finished reading it. Although the story is a little thin, I have to say it is a good story."

Qing Zhiyuan looked at Maeda Jun and asked, "Maeda-san (Maeda Jun's real name is Maeda Jun, which is the same as Maeda Jun), can you tell us about your creative process? What is your original intention in writing such a script? And what do you want to express in your work?”

Some things are easy to understand at a glance.

But after Qing Zhiyuan finished talking with Master Hayao Miyazaki, he will pay more attention to the [creative purpose] of the work.

If it's just for the sake of making people cry, then it's okay not to play this kind of game.

But the problem is that the man in bed of the quasi-big devil, Ma Zhi, has not issued a knife.

"The purpose of creation..." Jun Maeda thought for a moment and asked, "President, do you know Marvel?"

"Yeah." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

Of course I know about Marvel. How many Marvel-related animations and movies have I watched in my previous life? How could I not know about it?

"My inspiration actually comes from Marvel superheroes." Jun Maeda said.

Why?

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment.

Is this guy inspired by Marvel?

I thought it was Kafka.

but--

Don't tell me you're writing about a [superhero]?

Duvet man, this has nothing to do with being a superhero, okay?

From Spider-Man's perspective, it's understandable. After all, mutants are also a type of superhero.

It's just that the quilt man's skills are a bit useless, right?

What can I do with a quilt growing on my body? Can I fight Spider-Man evenly?

"I always have a strong feeling when watching Marvel animation."

Ma Zhijun crossed his hands and considered the next words, "Whether it's Spider-Man or the Hulk... they will become heroes who save the world after they mutate and have super powers. And it seems that all superheroes must have super powers. ability."

"Well, that's true."

Qing Zhiyuan was thinking while listening to his words.

But this is the general tone of Marvel. Saving the world is the destiny of every superhero. It seems quite deliberate, but the problem is that the audience just likes to watch it.

Ma Zeda smiled and said, "But actually, I think [superheroes] don't necessarily have to save the world. Isn't it also a hero to save the people you like?"

"And why do you have to have such powerful and destructive abilities? Can't you have some skills that look relatively useless? And such mutated little people may be the heroes closest to us?"

Damn it!

Qing Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head and was directly shocked by Ma Zhizhun's words.

Okay, this guy!

Is this a realization that a newly graduated high school student can have?

How long did this guy have to think about?

Very good, very good, from Marvel's "Superheroes" to Ma Zhijun's "Junk Mutants", and then it should be "Black Robe Pickets".

Sure enough, ideas can transcend time.

From this perspective, Qing Zhiyuan felt that Ma Zhi accurately wrote what he wanted.

"If you don't want to be a hero for all mankind, but you want to be a hero for one person, you won't even be able to compare with ordinary people in terms of ability..."

Qing Zhiyuan held his chin and thought carefully. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

"Maeda-san, you are such a talented game writer."

Moreover, it is not only ordinary people who have great power, but also being one's own hero. In "The Man in the Bed" by Jun Asahi, it also contains other things -

It may seem like a ridiculous story, but there is a profound social reaction in the background.

Whether it's "otaku elements", being rejected by others, looking at you with strange eyes... these all reflect social reality.

In the future, neon will enter a period of stagnation for thirty years. There will be more and more otakus, and they may have a greater sense of identity with bed men.

Maybe there will be no word otaku in the future, and maybe it will be replaced by "bed man".

Such works, however, have a relaxed and joyful tone, which can be said to be very rare.

It is really not easy to allow players to get started quickly, but the exit is very high, thought-provoking and thought-provoking.

He stood up, organized the documents, and put them on his desk.

"I have no problem with your script."

"Okay, president, thank you, president." Hearing these words, Ma Zhizhun was relieved and as happy as a child.

…

Now that you have a nice script.

All that remains is the work of group formation.

Ma Zhijun's plan has an urban background, a "waste male protagonist", and doesn't even have fighting ability, so it can only be made into a visual novel type similar to "Reverse Degree Man", which is the most popular galgame method now.

But this method is actually the best for him.

In a team, both art and programming are fine, so just ask Sakata Taiji and Akanishi Ken to make arrangements when the time comes.

The original animator will most likely be Yokoyama, who was responsible for "Mermaid Heart" and "The Man of Reverse Degree".

Don't worry too much about these.

Now, Qing Zhiyuan’s top priority is——

Who will be the producer.

…

"Huh? I'll be the producer, really?"

Ishino Mika stared with big eyes, expressing that she couldn't believe this at all.

When she was first called into the office by the president, Jun Maeda was also there. Her first instinct was that there must be nothing good going on.

Unexpectedly, she was asked to be the producer of a new project.

A great responsibility comes from heaven.

The issue is--

I'm not prepared at all.

Although Ishino Mika has been with the company for several years, she always feels that the president prefers Mikami and Wada.

"If you don't have the confidence, I can replace you at any time." Qing Zhiyuan said lightly.

He stretched out his hand, preparing to collect the project on the table.

"No, President, I mean..."

Ishino Mika was a little panicked for a moment and quickly held down the president's hand, fearing that he would take the project away from her.

She looked at Qing Zhiyuan sadly.

President, why don't you follow the routine?

In this case, shouldn't you encourage me a few more words, give me confidence, tell me that I am your chosen daughter, and leave it to me with 100% peace of mind that there will be no problems?

"I will definitely work harder to live up to your expectations of me, President."

Ishino Mika quickly added, then snatched the project away and held it tightly to her chest.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you."

In fact, Qing Zhiyuan had no better choice.

So far, strictly speaking, the only producer the company has been able to train is Shinji Mikami. After all, this young man’s talent and hard work are all there.

You can’t count on Xu Yuanxuan for the time being. He is very happy to ask him to write scripts, and he can perform it very well. He can always give you constant surprises. At least from the perspective of the few games written by Xu Yuan so far, The story, plot, and characters are all top-notch.

But if you want him to be the producer, in addition to controlling the quality and progress of the game, you also need him to coordinate the program and art, and coordinate the music and sound effects... This is not just about making products, but also requires social interaction. ability.

Project management is nothing to Xuan Xuanyuan.

And as long as Lao Xu doesn't anger the programmers and artists, Qing Zhiyuan can already sleep peacefully.

Gen Urobuchi is still very young now, and he still has a long way to go on his path as a producer.

But it's also possible that this guy isn't cut out for this path at all.

Just like some screenwriters are very good, but they can't be directors, it's the same thing.

Xu Yuanxuan in his previous life served as the core of the project because everyone revolved around him. The current Lao Xu's influence has not reached this level.

Since Gen Urobuchi can't be the producer, and Shinji Mikami has two game projects, "Diablo 2" and "The Witcher", there is simply no extra time and energy to serve as the producer of the third game. .

Then Qing Zhiyuan must consider choosing a relatively reliable one from other candidates.

To be precise, Qing Zhiyuan's range of choices is very narrow.

Mika Ishino is by far the most suitable producer.

After all, this girl has been with him for the longest time, and has produced the Onmyoji series, all the way to Pokémon... so she has rich experience.

The galgame itself is not difficult, and many of them are established modes. Ishino Mika should have the corresponding abilities.
