Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 241 145 I am 20 years old this year

Chapter 241 145. I am 20 years old this year

According to Qing Zhiyuan’s idea.

Princess Mononoke, this game cannot be made into a galgame in the first place.

There are too few targets for the male protagonist to conquer. There are only two women in the cartoon, one is the ghost princess Shan, and the other is the human leader Aboxi. In fact, judging from Qing Zhiyuan’s movie-watching experience, Aboxi is The portrayal of women may be a bit more powerful than the heroine.

She is a brave woman with a very strong mind and her own beliefs and full of unlimited execution ability.

Of course, the lack of female characters is not a big problem. The main reason is that if everyone comes to play the game after watching the animated movie, there will not be much content to experience in the plot.

Unless you can make a lot of magic changes.

But can Hayao Miyazaki agree to this?

In addition, if Princess Mononoke is made into a visual text-type galgame, it would be a waste of this theme and setting.

The conflicts in the animation are very intense and can even make your blood rush.

It needs to be made into a combat type game.

However, what Qing Zhiyuan is now struggling with is whether to make it 3D (accurately, it should be three renderings and two, but the perspective is in the first-person mode of 3D) or 2D.

If it's 3D, it can be made like Zelda.

For 2D, make it something like Demon Hunter or Diablo.

In short, the battle must be carried out, and the design of the scenes and levels must be carefully prepared.

It would definitely be best if it could be done in 3D, but Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

I don’t know if we can catch up with the current speed of technological development.

According to Hayao Miyazaki's schedule, "Princess Mononoke" will be released in 1996. If some problems occur in the meantime, it can be postponed to 1997.

So in the past few years, we have to make great improvements in both hardware and software. We can't just make block-shaped character models like now.

Qing Zhiyuan still has to return to his old profession——

Develop an animation engine that can achieve two-dimensional rendering of 3D models, just like the development for Genshin Impact in MiHoYo in the previous life.

If it can be achieved to that extent, it will definitely be very good.

However, these are unknowns.

It is only 1994, and the development of technology takes time to settle and iterate. Qing Zhiyuan is not sure whether we will have such a level of software and hardware by then.

Quite worrying.

But there is no point in worrying, you can only leave it to time.

The only thing Qing Zhiyuan can do is to use his own methods and power to add strength and push forward the development of science and technology.

At worst, it will be made into a 2D top-down view mode and implemented using the mechanism of the Witcher. It may be possible to maximize the 2D effect, but it is not necessarily true.

…

I stayed in Yakushima for two days and established some deep friendships with Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi. We all had a great time chatting and exchanging opinions on the production of "Princess Mononoke".

At night, the three of them were lying on the bed chatting.

Qing Zhiyuan never imagined this unfolding, but the two old men were very interested, and Qing Zhiyuan couldn't refuse.

To be honest, I regret it very much now. Why didn't I apply to Hayao Miyazaki and bring my girlfriend over?

Maybe Tsuda Nao would like to listen to their stories more.

"I designed the mountain beast god in Princess Mononoke after a five-colored deer." Hayao Miyazaki said.

"Uji Shiremonogatari", written in the Kamakura period, is a collection of Buddhist stories and folklore, with a total of 197 chapters in 15 volumes.

Among them, there is a story called "The Story of Five-Colored Deer".

A colorful deer living in the deep mountains accidentally saved a traveler who fell into the water.

The traveler promised the five-color deer that he would never tell anything about his encounter with it.

In the kingdom outside the mountains, the queen saw a colorful deer in her dream and coveted its beautiful fur, so she offered a large reward.

The traveler who was rescued by the colorful deer told the king about the whereabouts of the colorful deer out of greed, and led the army into the mountains.

The colorful deer then appeared and told the king how he had rescued the traveler.

The king then executed the ungrateful whistleblower and ordered that the killing of deer was prohibited throughout the country, and violators would be put to death.

Does it look familiar?

When Qing Zhiyuan heard this story, he always felt as if he had read it somewhere before. Thinking about it carefully——

Damn it, isn't this the Chinese cartoon "Nine-Colored Deer" from the 1980s?

Of course, the Nine-Colored Deer thing is actually not China’s own culture.

Whether it is a five-color deer or a nine-color deer, they actually all come from Buddhism and Tianzhu.

Although Japan is known as "eight million gods", most of these gods are absorbed from foreign cultures such as China and India. There are only a handful of real local gods, only one tenth.

"The Story of the Five-Colored Deer" is derived from the Buddhist story "The Deer King Jataka" - a five-color deer living in the mountains of Tianzhu. In the original story, it is a nine-color deer living by the Ganges River.

The domestic animated film "Nine-Colored Deer" released in 1981 was also adapted from the Dunhuang mural "The Deer King Jataka" and is a classic that is still highly regarded today.

In "Princess Mononoke", it is said that the head of the "Mountain Beast God" can cure all diseases in the world, so the red-nosed monk Lai was ordered to go into the mountains to hunt down the "Mountain Beast God".

This is consistent with the plot where the queen wanted nine-color deer skin and the king led his army into the mountains.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that Master Hayao Miyazaki was also a literary copycat. Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. However, when you actually watched the movie, you wouldn't have such thoughts at all, because Hayao Miyazaki re-created these ancient legends. It's very good, there are certain traces, but it's more about expressing what you want.

So [Nine-Colored Deer], which is the [Mountain Beast God] in Princess Mononoke, was given a new meaning.

…

"Actually, in addition to the original story of the colorful deer, my movie also draws on a lot of stories from "Gilgamesh"," Hayao Miyazaki said.

Qing Zhiyuan was even more surprised when he heard about Gilgamesh.

Eh?

Gilgamesh, this name is so familiar.

Could it be——

Glitter?

Qing Zhiyuan was a little confused.

Hayao Miyazaki smiled and told the story of Gilgamesh:

In "Gilgamesh", in order to obtain fir trees, the protagonist and his orc partner went on an expedition to the cedar forest, and started a fierce battle with Huwawa, the guardian of the cedar forest.

Huwawa is a half-animal god. According to the "The Narrative of Gilgamesh", it has scales, lion's paws and eagle's claws, and bull's horns on its head, but it is said to be a big tree.

Huwawa protects the vegetation of the cedar forest and does not allow outsiders to destroy it. But in this war, it became the loser, and its head was chopped off and put in a metal barrel.

Among them, whether it is a half-animal shape or the head is cut off and put into a metal bucket, they are all consistent with the details in "Princess Mononoke".

Qing Zhiyuan said, I don’t know Hu Wa Wa, but Gilgamesh does know something about it.

But the understanding is very superficial.

For example, this person always likes to stand on the street lights and show off his treasure trove whenever he disagrees...

After listening to this story, I know more about Jin Shining.

Gilgamesh was both a tyrant and a hero. He did many extraordinary feats of courage when he was young and was loved by people.

I didn't expect that the animation "Princess Mononoke" actually incorporates so many things.

No wonder all the authors in the world belong to the same family. I copy them, you copy me, and they merge and create again.

However, judging from the effect of the film, Qing Zhiyuan has to admire Mr. Hayao Miyazaki's imagination.

At the same time, you can also get a glimpse of Hayao Miyazaki's reading volume.

Without sufficient knowledge reserves, it is impossible to make a cartoon like "Princess Mononoke".

"Actually, Miyazaki-senpai, if you have time, you can read the Chinese Classic of Mountains and Seas," Qing Zhiyuan suggested.

"Huh? Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

"Yes." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "It is said that the Book of Mountains and Seas is a geographical book describing ancient China or the ancient times. It records the topography and landforms of various parts of the world, as well as the corresponding local birds and animals.

There are too many interesting and weird creatures in Shan Hai Jing. "

“For example, the candle dragon.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas describes it this way:

Beyond the Northwest Sea and to the north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain.

There is a god, with a human face and a snake body, and a red body. His eyes are straight, his gaze is dark, and his sight is bright.

It’s Zhu Jiuyin, it’s Zhu Long. "

Ah this...

Miyazaki Hayao and Hisaishi Joe were sitting on the bed, stunned for a while.

Fortunately, neon culture originated from China, so although the two people heard it in confusion, they still got a rough idea of the literal meaning.

Qing Zhiyuan continued to explain in modern language: "Outside the Northwest Sea and north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain.

There is a god on the mountain, with a human-like face, a snake-like body, red body, and long vertical eyes. When he closes his eyes, the world turns into night;

Open your eyes and the world becomes daytime.

It doesn't eat, sleep, or breathe, and it can bring wind and rain.

It can illuminate the dark places.

It has a human face and a snake body, and is thousands of miles long.

This is the candle dragon. "

Wow……

Hayao Miyazaki raised his head. Just imagining that scene made him feel extremely shaken and had goosebumps all over his body.

"This is interesting."

He quickly stood up, found a pen and paper, and wrote down what Qing Zhiyuan said just now.

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at it and found that he had really drawn an image of a man with a snake body on the paper, but...

Al?

Why does this guy look so much like the river god from Spirited Away?

"I feel that the image of Bai Ze in Shan Hai Jing is quite similar to the mountain beast god in "Princess Mononoke"."

"There is a beast on the East View Mountain. Its name is Baize, and it can speak. The king is virtuous, and the bright light will reach the distant place."

When a wise king appears in the world, Bai Ze will appear.

Speaking of this, Qing Zhiyuan glanced at the pen and paper in Miyazaki's hand.

"Um, senior, can you borrow it for a while?"

Miyazaki was stunned for a moment and handed him the pen and paper.

So Qing Zhiyuan drew the image of Baize in his imagination on white paper.

Hayao Miyazaki only glanced at it and couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed.

"Yes, this is the mountain beast god in my mind."

In addition, stepping on the lotus flower and controlling life and death, this setting is actually quite complete.

"Baize~" Hayao Miyazaki couldn't help but laugh, saying that neon also has the image of Bai Ze, not just in China's Classic of Mountains and Seas.

But, most of these are [stolen] from China.

After chatting until the middle of the night, Hisaishi Rang fell asleep, but Miyazaki became even more excited.

After communicating with Qing Zhiyuan, this guy couldn't wait to find a book of mountains and seas to read carefully.

but……

Qing Zhiyuan always has an ominous premonition.

I always feel like I’ve dug a hole for myself.

Damn it, if it's really beyond imagination, how can I turn it into a game? !

…

But it was too late.

Early the next morning, Qing Zhiyuan said goodbye to the two of them and took a plane to Chicago to attend the Consumer Electronics Show.

It took 2 hours to fly from Kagoshima to Tokyo, and then I waited for a few more hours to connect. After that, it was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon when I got on the plane.

The total flight time from Tokyo to Chicago is 12 hours.

Along the way, Qing Zhiyuan fell asleep.

Kazuma Takahashi of the company had already booked a room for Qing Zhiyuan and arranged for him to stay there.

After landing, I still had to overcome jet lag.

It's around 1 a.m. in Tokyo, which is almost equivalent to 3 p.m. in Chicago.

Although he was still very sleepy, he couldn't sleep at this time. When he was bored and bored, Qing Zhiyuan and Takahashi Kazuma wandered around the accommodation.

…

The street culture in the United States is actually quite developed. You can see various graffiti on the walls along the way.

They are wild and wild, and many of them are painted directly on them with paint. They have a pungent smell, are rich in color, and are also full of a Western cartoon feel.

Qing Zhiyuan specially brought a camera this time.

In the 1990s, Neon was the undisputed number one in the world in terms of camera production.

For example, the Canon SLR brought by Qing Zhiyuan costs almost 600,000 yen just for the optical lens.

The complete set of equipment costs close to one million yen.

More expensive than a set of high-end golf equipment.

However, the imaging effect is really good. As long as you know how to use it, you can shoot very clear and beautiful blockbusters.

There are not only graffiti on the streets of Chicago, but also street basketball.

Every neighborhood has at least one or two basketball courts, and the surrounding areas are covered with graffiti.

Some basketball courts may only have one basket and no blocks, making them extremely crude.

You can say it's messy and dazzling, but they really don't pay attention to it.

When Qing Zhiyuan and Takahashi Kazuma passed by one of the basketball courts, they happened to see a group of boys and girls playing basketball.

There are both black and white.

His eyes were instantly attracted to the girl sitting on the bench.

She is fair-skinned, beautiful, short, and has blond hair.

But it can be seen that it is dyed blonde, because the roots of the hair have turned dark brown, which should be the original color of a girl's hair.

how to say.

She looks very much like Scarlett Johansson, the one who plays the Black Widow.

After some communication, I actually learned that the oldest of these guys is only 14 years old.

And [Scarlett] is only 13 years old, but she has already developed quite well.

"Isn't it? Are you junior high school students?" Qing Zhiyuan was a little shocked.

However, despite being shocked, I couldn't help but sigh that Americans develop really fast. At only 12 or 3 years old, they already look like 18 or 9 years old.

"Guess how old I am." Qing Zhiyuan asked in turn.

[Scarlett] looked at him suspiciously, "21?"

The boy next to him shook his head, "At most 19 years old."

a ha ha ha……

This was the first time Qing Zhiyuan smiled so happily, "Yes, yes, I am actually 20 years old this year."

Who makes Asians look immature?

Especially for a handsome guy like Qing Zhiyuan, who is in his 30s and looks like a 20-year-old, even younger in the eyes of Omi people.

Next to him, Kazuma Takahashi looked at Qing Zhiyuan in surprise.

President, you are so thick-skinned! Can you even say this?

"Are you Chinese?" [Scarlett] asked.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Qing Zhiyuan asked doubtfully.

"Because Neon people don't speak English that well."
