Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 190 94. What? Is Gu Yuan Chunqiu coming back? !

After the New Year, pokeni launched two game projects at the same time as planned:

"CLANNAD" and "LIFE-LINE"

Qing Zhiyuan came back from vacation and immediately threw himself into the busy work.

"Diablo 2" and "Pokémon Gold and Silver" are in the final stage, and they will be developed and promoted step by step and released on the shelves.

The English version of "The Witcher" has been produced and will be released in the Omi region soon.

As a producer, I feel a little more relaxed, freeing up Qing Zhiyuan to work on other projects.

The one with higher priority is CLANNAD.

Qing Zhiyuan was very impressed by this game. Although it has not been completely reproduced, he still remembers most of the content.

After he designed the original character paintings and script content, he entrusted the project to Ishino Mika to execute the subsequent content. After that, he would check in at most intervals to see how the progress was and whether there was any deviation from the original design.

In addition to these, Qing Zhiyuan also carefully discussed the soundtrack issue with Jun Asae and Atsushi Shirakawa in the recording studio.

"Ah? President, you actually know how to score songs?" Bai Chuan expressed great surprise.

Although he knew that Qing Zhiyuan had a high appreciation for music, and he also understood what kind of music a game needed and what a soundtrack engineer needed to do, he had never seen Qing Zhiyuan show any music-related knowledge before. Talent.

Many people speculate that Qing Zhiyuan actually sings very poorly in private.

Because the president never goes to KTV or anything like that with everyone.

(Qing Zhiyuan said, am I not going with you? I am taking care of your feelings. I am afraid that you won’t be able to let go when the leaders are around.)

In short, in the minds of many people, Qing Zhiyuan is the type who can listen but not sing.

But it is not too important for Shirakawa Atsushi. A food connoisseur does not have to be a cook, and there is no requirement to be a professional to appreciate music. Everyone can have their own unique music aesthetic.

The president’s musical aesthetic is not particularly excellent, but he has one particularly good shortcoming——

popularization.

After all, games are meant to be experienced by the majority of people. Although they are known as the ninth art, they are never true art. In the end, games are still commodities that serve more people.

The more people buy, the more money you make.

So under such circumstances, if the president can represent the public's aesthetics, then this in itself is something to be very proud of.

"Yeah, I didn't even realize that the president also has attainments in the field of music." Ma Zhizhun said doubtfully.

Qing Zhiyuan's face was dark, and he could only smile awkwardly after being poked in his weak point mercilessly by the two people.

I know how to write code, can you?

My painting skills are so good, can you do it?

Why do you have to be a hexagon warrior?

"I don't really understand this, but I have a small request."

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at the door of the recording studio, then walked over and closed the door carefully, making sure that no one came in and would not be heard. Then he turned around and said to the two people:

"Listen to what I'm humming."

"Yeah." The two men nodded and took a step back.

"Uh-huh, cough, uh-huh~" Qing Zhiyuan cleared his throat, then shook his head and sang, "Tuanzi, Tuanzi, Tuanzi, Tuanzi, the big family of Tuanzi..."

Jun Asahi and Atsushi Shirakawa looked at each other, and their faces turned a little pale.

But there doesn't seem to be much wrong with it.

Although the president's voice isn't that nice and the beat isn't that accurate, at least the pitch is accurate.

Moreover, the two of them could vaguely hear the true nature of this tune:

Lively, relaxed, and a little cute.

It's just that... this song is really not suitable for the president to sing.

It feels more suitable for young and cute girls.

“Naughty barbecue dumplings and tender bean paste dumplings”

Dango admiring the moon who often has sweet dreams

…

The little rabbit is waving to us in the round moon in the sky

All happy and sad things are included in it

La la la la la la la……

Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling Dumpling is a big family! "

After Qing Zhiyuan finished singing, both Asahi Jun and Shirakawa Atsushi were not very good.

The two stood stunned for two seconds, then clapped.

"It sounds great, President, did you write this yourself?" Shirakawa Atsushi asked.

Ma Zhizhun looked at Bai Chuan with some surprise and thought, "It sounds so nice." Can you say such a thing?

"Is this song necessary?" Shirakawa Atsushi asked, "Isn't it a little too... how should I put it, out of the ordinary, or younger, which would not be in line with the tone of our game?"

Shirakawa is also someone who has read the script, and he still knows the stories that happen in CL.

To be honest, if the script was not written by the president, he would really like to kill the author.

"Well, I must have this song." Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously.

This song in the previous life was adapted from a BGM "Nagisa" in the game "CLANNAD".

Due to the huge influence of this song, the Chinese name of the animated version of "CLANNAD" has also been translated as "The Tuanzi Family"

The lyrics and music were written and composed by Jun Ma Zeda, with Chata singing the lead vocals, so some people praised Jun Ma Zhi as a first-class composer.

This man does have some talent.

Ma Zhizhun was listening to the conversation between the two people, and felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu——

It's like I've heard this song somewhere.

In other words, when he heard the melody and lyrics, he felt goosebumps all over his body. To put it in a more metaphysical way, it means that he and this song are destined to be together.

No, not just this song, but even the entire plot of CL made him feel similar.

It was as if everything was tailor-made for him.

…

"Yes. It's a must." Ma Zhizhun nodded in agreement, "CL seems to be describing love, but in fact the core is family affection, and family is the essence of this game. The song Tuanzi Big Family really fits ”

Although the president's singing is not very good, at least there is no problem in conveying it.

Shirakawa Atsushi nodded and recorded the simplified music score with a pencil beside him.

Later, he will work with Ma Zeda to enrich it and complete the entire orchestration.

"The human voice is removed from the game, BGM is used to intersperse the story, and then after the final level is passed, songs with lyrics are played as ED." Qing Zhiyuan said.

If you animate it in the future, you can save some resources.

Qing Zhiyuan has considered [animation] from the beginning. CL without animation is incomplete. It cannot only let players experience warmth, healing and touching in the game, but also let those who do not play games You can get this beauty from TV.

In order to guide more people to experience this game, this is the most important thing.

"Okay, I understand." Shirakawa Atsushi and Ma Zhijun nodded.

After Qing Zhiyuan left...

"But...who should I find to sing?" Bai Chuan was also in a dilemma.

…

Years later, when pokeni and Ghibli signed a contract, and the cooperation began, no matter how tightly the two parties concealed it, the final news spread like wildfire.

Some reporters caught clues and saw Qing Zhiyuan eating with Hayao Miyazaki frequently.

It is very strange that characters from two different fields are so close, and every few days I see Hayao Miyazaki running towards pokeni.

This is even stranger.

How should I put it, this feeling is a bit like big stars secretly having a tryst without making their relationship public, and then being followed and caught by the paparazzi.

So after persistent inquiries, the media also got some precise information.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Qing Zhiyuan discussed with Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki and decided to make the cooperation news public.

So pokeni and Ghibli held a press conference.

Upon hearing the news, large and small media in the industry swarmed.

"First of all, pokeni and Studio Ghibli will cooperate. This is definite news, but the specific content of the cooperation is not convenient to disclose at the moment."

As the main speaker, Toshio Suzuki took the microphone and said:

"There is only a little that can be said:

Studio Ghibli is passionate about exploring animation, and we are also looking for more forms to express our ideas in other fields.

By chance, we saw "Your Name" produced by pokeni. This is a very powerful game, even reaching the level of animation.

We are full of praise for some important storyboards. Although they are dynamic pictures, they are already very impressive.

After our research, we felt that this was a very novel model that could be tried, so we decided to hand over new works to be produced in the future to pokeni for gamification.

But it is still unknown when exactly he will be able to meet everyone. "

"As for the rest," Suzuki Toshio glanced back at Qing Zhiyuan, the two parties had reached an agreement in advance, so he could be a little more specific at this time, "Except for the animated film that Ghibli will soon produce, we and pokeni There is also in-depth cooperation on another game project."

Having said this, Toshio Suzuki turned his attention to Hayao Miyazaki, and the media also focused their cameras on the latter.

"Hmm...how do I put it?" Hayao Miyazaki took the phone and responded seriously, "It's like this. During a chat with President Qing Zhiyuan, he asked me "Can you draw drawings for our games? Several original paintings] Such an invitation.

I was a little hesitant at the time.

Not for any other reason.

Mainly I'm worried about whether I can do it.

For me, this is a brand new challenge. After all, I am just an animator and have no knowledge of games at all.

But for this game, when I received the commission from President Qing Zhiyuan, I read the relevant script and decided to agree.

The script alone is wonderful enough, it has moved me, and with such an idea in my mind, I think it must be done. "

…

Several people took turns to explain, and briefly introduced some of the content of their cooperation, but the design and specific details were all mentioned in one stroke.

Next comes the time for free questions.

"Well, can you tell me the name of the animation that Ghibli will produce?!" a reporter from TEPCO raised his hand.

Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki looked at each other, and everyone discussed it. They seemed to think that there should be no big problem in announcing the name now.

"The current tentative title is "Princess Mononoke", but we can't say more about the specific content. It is still in preliminary production and the cycle is very long." Toshio Suzuki responded.

Media reporters are like vicious dogs. If you don't feed them some bones, they probably won't be satisfied.

At least after hearing the specific names, the reporters had a knowing smile on their faces.

No matter what, even if you don’t know what the animation is about, the name alone is enough to make people imagine it.

Tomorrow’s report will have something to write about, rather than nothing.

Afterwards, reporters asked some innocuous questions, such as why Hayao Miyazaki wanted to make a comeback, why he decided to make such a work, and what thoughts and concepts came from...

Hayao Miyazaki has no comment on these, and basically just prevaricates them as much as possible.

The flashlights at the scene were flashing wildly, but most of them were focused on Ghibli.

This is also a matter of course.

Even pokeni is somewhat famous in the gaming industry, but it is far less famous than Hayao Miyazaki.

Even the media at the scene basically recognized one fact from the bottom of their hearts——

This wave of pokeni rubbed Ghibli's thigh.

In fact, they ignored an important point. Pokeni's revenue last year reached more than 30 billion, and its net profit was more than 10 billion. This is already the combined box office of several Ghibli movies.

The current most profitable "Porco Rosso" only has a box office of 5.4 billion yen.

What I really want to say is that pokeni should be richer and richer.

…

The atmosphere was particularly lively, mainly because the news this time was so unexpected. After all, except for "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", Studio Ghibli has never authorized its work to any game developer for gamification after so many years. .

Moreover, it is unheard of for Hayao Miyazaki to draw original paintings for other games. It is simply a fantasy.

The press conference comes to an end.

"last question."

Qing Zhiyuan glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on one of the inconspicuous young reporters——

Katayama Reiko from Fruitland.

Today, reporters from Famiton, Goletong, and related game magazines are here, but there are more people from TV stations and animation industries.

"Hello! I just want to ask a question." Katayama Reiko took the phone.

"Excuse me."

"Who is the producer of pokeni? Is it Mika Ishino? Or Shinji Mikami?"

"Um...neither."

Qing Zhiyuan hesitated for two seconds, then made up his mind and said, "It's Teacher Furuhara Chunqiu. It's from several games."

Wow~

A tidal wave of uproar immediately broke out below.

Reporters from the gaming industry had gone berserk and drove back to the company to publish reports, leaving reporters from other industries standing there in confusion.

"Gu Yuan Chunqiu, who is this person?"

"Yes, who is Gu Yuan Chunqiu? Is he very powerful?"

"Why are they so surprised when they hear the name?"

"Huh? Why are they all gone?"

…

Early the next morning, in the urgent special issue of Guoletong, there was an explosive news on the front page:

[The legendary producer of galgame, Tsubaki Furuhara, is about to return and join forces with master Hayao Miyazaki to create a new game! 】

"What?! Gu Yuan Chunqiu is making a comeback?!"

…
