Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 360 264. Giving birth to a child should be like Qing Zhiyuan

In the morning, Mr. Toshio Suzuki of Studio Ghibli came to pokeni with a basket of chocolates and flowers to visit Qing Zhiyuan.

The purpose is to congratulate him on the successful launch of the game and its success.

"Thanks to pokeni, the box office of the movie "Princess Mononoke" has increased a lot recently."

Mr. Suzuki said.

Neon's movie market is truly a wonder in the world. With its small number of movie theaters and population, it is able to rank second in the world at the box office, second only to the United States.

It's actually an amazing thing.

Among them, there are several rules and gameplay that are different from other countries.

The first thing is: regarding the movie’s theater schedule.

In other countries, whether China or the United States, every movie actually has a schedule, which lasts about 1 to 3 months.

If the results are good enough, the playback time will be extended appropriately.

But Neon is different. As long as the movie is released, it will be played 24 hours a day, and if the attendance rate is high, some movies can continue to be released, even for more than half a year.

The second thing is the box office.

The golden cycle of a movie is the first month.

After all, for most viewers, after the movie is released, those who want to see it will actually go see it in the first month. Those who don’t want to see it will not be willing to watch it even if the movie is scheduled for a year.

Therefore, in OMI and China, the box office results in the first week have already determined the overall box office trend. The box office share in the first month can already reach more than 50% of the total box office, and it will only get weaker in the future.

But Neon's box office is not like this. If a movie has a long release cycle, and if the subsequent attendance rate is high, the box office will continue to rise. If it is maintained in a longer box office cycle, the results will be better.

Princess Mononoke falls into this category.

After watching it for the first time, many people want to watch it again and again...

Even though it has been released for more than 2 months, almost 3 months, the attendance rate is still very high.

Coupled with the recent popularity of the game "Princess Mononoke", it has once again boosted the demand for movie viewing, bringing many players who have never watched movies and only played games to the cinema.

So from the data point of view, Suzuki Toshio can intuitively see the traffic brought from P agency.

Not exactly a compliment or a flattery.

After Qing Zhiyuan invited him to the office, Mr. Suzuki first said a lot of nice words, saying that he was really good at pokeni games.

Princess Mononoke games are really amazing and so on.

Then, Toshio Suzuki told Qing Zhiyuan about the quarrel between Goro and Hayao Miyazaki during the meal.

"Eh?"

"Is this Wu Lang's opinion?"

Qing Zhiyuan blinked, feeling really strange.

Hayao Miyazaki-senpai really has an inexplicable obsession with hand-painting.

But his son is so brave to try new things.

What should I say?

Regarding 3D animation, Wu Lang is actually quite prophetic, and according to Qing Zhiyuan's understanding, there will definitely be a large number of excellent 3D animation works in the future.

"Wolang's intuition is actually quite sensitive."

But this does not mean that there is no market for 2D animation. On the contrary, 2D is a more conducive way for them to express their thoughts in the eyes of some detached idealists.

It's abstract, and the 2D images can also be made very delicate.

However, Qing Zhiyuan still fully affirmed Wu Lang's pioneering spirit.

"Whether it is 3D or 2D, they all have their own market, and the painting technology will definitely become more and more advanced in the future. It may be more important to use good tools to express yourself," Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Ah~ If only Hayao Miyazaki could think like this." Suzuki Toshio felt very embarrassed.

At the same time, he also secretly admired Qing Zhiyuan.

This young man is really lovable and sees things very clearly.

He has his own set of principles and is very smart. You can get a lot of inspiration from talking with Qing Zhiyuan.

How great it would be if Qing Zhiyuan were my son!

Suzuki Toshio couldn't help but think so.

In that case, Studio Ghibli can be completely entrusted to him.

What a pity, what a pity, Qing Zhiyuan is Qing Zhiyuan.

"This father and son are very stubborn and may not be able to speak for a long time." Suzuki Toshio laughed, "But the work still needs to be pushed forward.

Who would have thought that a disagreement would lead to a quarrel. "

Qing Zhiyuan has not heard of such quarrels. In his previous life, while working on Legend of Earthsea and Poppy Bloom, Hayao Miyazaki and Goro had many quarrels, and they also had a cold war for several months.

They are really a stubborn father and son.

However, for this old fox, Toshio Suzuki, to tell me this, is it too cunning, right?

Don't I know you yet?

It is difficult for an upright official to resolve household affairs. When the old thief Suzuki mentioned this matter, he actually wanted me to persuade him to make peace.

After all, father and son also had associations and disputes because of games.

That's probably what it means.

"Hey, these two are really shaped from the same mold." Qing Zhiyuan said, "It would be great if they could communicate more and consider issues from each other's standpoint."

"Who says it's not the case?" Suzuki Toshio looked a little disappointed when he saw Qing Zhiyuan not talking to him.

"Then, I'll take my leave first." Suzuki Toshio stood up and said.

"Okay, Mr. Suzuki."

Qing Zhiyuan stood up and walked him to the door, "I will definitely visit Ghibli when I have time in a few days."

"Eh?"

Suzuki P's eyes suddenly lit up.

The subtext of Qing Zhiyuan's words is, I will go and persuade Miyazaki-senpai when the time comes.

After all, it is impossible not to see Hayao Miyazaki when you come to visit him, and with Miyazaki's character, it is very likely that he will complain to Qing Zhiyuan.

In such a conversational atmosphere, didn't Qing Zhiyuan naturally do his ideological work?

Suzuki Toshio smiled with a smile and quickly thanked him, "Then Miyazaki and I will be waiting for President Ao's arrival."

"No, no," Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "You are all my seniors and important mentors in my life. It is true that I would like to ask for your guidance when the time comes."

The two greeted each other politely, and Suzuki Toshio happily left the pokeni office building.

Sure enough, I was right about this kid Qing Zhiyuan.

Giving birth to a child should be like Qing Zhiyuan!

…

Within a few days, Qing Zhiyuan really kept his promise and came to visit her.

Before going, he made a special call to Suzuki Toshio.

Suzuki Toshio said that Miyazaki is here now, please come here quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hey, Suzuki-san, this old fox.

After going to Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki warmly received Qing Zhiyuan.

He, Toshio Suzuki and Qing Zhiyuan chatted in the conference room for a while, and then Suzuki excused himself and went out, leaving only Miyazaki and Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh deep in his heart.

…

"Chigen-kun, I have already played "Princess Mononoke" produced by you. It is really amazing." Hayao Miyazaki said with emotion.

"Thank you, thank you Miyazaki-sensei."

"When I was playing the game, it felt like the world of Princess Mononoke suddenly became real and three-dimensional," Hayao Miyazaki recalled of his experience of playing the game (mainly watching), "It was like the characters in it. , whether natural or not, they are all alive.

They all live according to their own lifestyles, behavioral habits, personalities, etc., and follow objective laws.

Yes, living. "

Hayao Miyazaki turned around and said seriously, "Living is such a feeling."

Wow.

Qing Zhiyuan said that he was really flattered.

To be able to get such high praise from Mr. Miyazaki.

"No, no, maybe it's because the game's sense of immersion gives you such an illusion."

“The most obvious feature of 3DRPG is this. As a game, the biggest difference from animation is that you experience it truly, instead of passively following the camera to watch and accept.

With the initiative in the hands of the player, you have unlimited possibilities. Qing Zhiyuan explained with a smile.

"Yeah." Hayao Miyazaki nodded.

I seem to understand but not understand.

He suddenly remembered something, and then turned back to Qing Zhiyuan.

"Didn't I see Shan for the first time on the other side of the river bank?"

"Yeah." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

"But when we walked around to the other side of the river, we couldn't find any trace of them." Hayao Miyazaki asked curiously, "Where did San and the White Wolves go at that time?

Have you returned to your own habitat? "

"Well……"

Qing Zhiyuan’s head is full of black lines.

"Miyazaki-senpai, you may have too wonderful an imagination of what games can do now. Maybe in the future we can support them to have strong enough artificial intelligence and autonomous capabilities. As you said, they can have their own personalities and behaviors. Habits, living according to the laws of nature.

However, this is impossible to achieve with current technology. "

What Qing Zhiyuan said cannot be realized now.

But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to achieve in the future.

In a sense, Mr. Miyazaki's wishes are very beautiful and forward-looking.

But the foundation of all this is technological development.

First of all, the first thing is to continuously improve the hardware and chips, which will bring about a huge leap in computing power. Based on the sufficient support of the hardware, we can then improve the algorithm.

In the future, when artificial intelligence develops to a certain stage, it will be possible to achieve the effect described by Hayao Miyazaki.

Each character has its own independent AI. What they talk to you is no longer a fixed line content filled in by the planner, but a changing one with a strong intelligent effect, just like a living person.

Just living in the game.

Of course Qing Zhiyuan also wants to do this, but there is still a long way to go before reaching this step.

"Huh?" Hayao Miyazaki asked in confusion, "Then where did the San and the white wolves that I saw at that time went?"

Well……

After working on it for a long time, you still don’t understand.

Qing Zhiyuan explained with a smile, "They have actually disappeared and are no longer in the game."

"Disappeared? Why?"

"It's like this." Qing Zhiyuan stretched out a palm, "This part is the performance of the lens used in the cartoon.

To put it bluntly, it is an edit of the original film.

It is equivalent to an independent module. "

Then he stretched out another palm and said, "This is the real scene of the game."

He placed his two palms side by side.

"The animation clip edited by the original film ends after playing. This thread is terminated here.

Afterwards, the camera returned to the game. In fact, Shan and Bai Lang did not really exist here. "

Qing Zhiyuan crossed his hands and then separated them.

"These are two systems that do not interfere with each other. The animation is only called when it needs to be triggered, and then it is destroyed and gone."

"Oh I got it."

Miyazaki nodded seriously.

Qing Zhiyuan looked at him and guessed that the old man still didn't understand.

But he probably understood that what he saw in the game was not necessarily what actually existed in the game.

"Then why did Shan appear again later? How can we still fight her?"

All right……

Sure enough, I still didn’t understand.

"You can understand that the Shan who exists in the 2D animation and the Shan who actually has a 3D model in the game are two different things. They are not the same person."

"Huh?" Hayao Miyazaki was shocked.

"Well, you can think of it as we created many different Shans, but they all look the same.

When fighting Shan for the first time, we will put a little person into the game.

After this plot is over, the villain is destroyed.

Later, when players use Shan to fight, we will create a new Shan and put her in.

Although they look the same, they are actually not the same Shan. "

"ah……"

Miyazaki opened his mouth and couldn't believe what he heard.

In fact, what Qing Zhiyuan said is true. Sometimes in order to save resources, the created UID must be destroyed and then a new UID regenerated. Although the two Shans look the same and have the same functions, their ID cards, The identification IDs in the game are different.

“It feels like traveling through a different parallel world every day. Although you are facing the same group of people, this group of people is not the same group of people as those in your last universe.

Even if this group of people died, it would not affect the life and death of those in the previous universe. "Qing Zhiyuan concluded.

"ah……"

Hayao Miyazaki opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although he didn't quite understand it, he was deeply shocked.

"Isn't Shan too pitiful?

It was destroyed after being used only once. "

Qing Zhiyuan thought this old man was really cute and wanted to laugh, "Yes, poor Shan."

…

In addition to the characters in the game, there is another thing that also puzzles Hayao Miyazaki:

"By the way, Zhiyuan-kun, I see there are many rivers in the game, but why can't I swim across them?"

"Wouldn't it be more realistic and more vivid if you could swim across the river? Yaklu itself can swim."

"Ah hahaha," Qing Zhiyuan laughed, "Well, Miyazaki-senpai, you may have some misunderstanding about the game."

"It's like this. What you said is very constructive and forward-looking, and it's a very meaningful idea. However, it is something that can only be realized by future products.

We cannot do this with our current technology. "

Qing Zhiyuan stood up, searched for a while, and found an A4 paper on the table next to him.

Then pick up a pencil and quickly draw a river on it.

"You see, this is the river in our game. Although from the above angle, it is a river, constantly flowing. But..."

Qing Zhiyuan turned the paper sideways and turned it into a thin line.

"Actually, it is just a piece of paper. When we look at it from the side, there is no water underneath.

If we let Ashitaka walk into the river, his body will penetrate.

Then the game suddenly fell apart. "

"Eh?"

Hayao Miyazaki nodded with deep approval, "It's amazing."

Today's conversation with Qing Zhiyuan was really eye-opening.

"But water, glass, and transparent materials are the most difficult things to make in the game,"

Qing Zhiyuan lifted the paper and placed it under the sun. The light beam penetrated from the outside, passed through the thin paper, and fell on Qing Zhiyuan's face.

He put the piece of paper in front of Miyazaki.

"It's the same as painting. Monet painted countless straw piles in his life, but he was not actually painting straw, nor was he painting people."

Hayao Miyazaki laughed and continued, "It's about painting light."

"Yes. Water, glass, and transparent things are not difficult to make. The most difficult thing to make in games is light."

Qing Zhiyuan said, "It is the most difficult to allow players to experience real and dreamy light effects, especially the changes that occur after light is refracted through these media."

"Yeah, I understand." Hayao Miyazaki nodded seriously, "I'll understand as soon as you explain it."

Light means everything.

Not only is it bright, colorful, and changing...

Light itself is a very magical thing.

This is true even in the real human world. It is precisely because of light that there is a future that humans can not only explore.

Ever since we first looked up and saw starlight, human beings have never stopped exploring the universe.

For painters, they spend their whole lives studying this thing.

If you study the effects of light, you can achieve incredible animations.

Hayao Miyazaki feels this deeply.

ah……

He likes this kid Qing Zhiyuan so much.

She is good-looking, cute, and extremely smart.

Not only does he know so many techniques, he is also extremely talented in painting.

After listening to Qing Zhiyuan's explanation, Hayao Miyazaki would even feel that Qing Zhiyuan has reached an extremely high level in terms of painting thoughts.

The difficulty is not the entity, not the game, not the painting, but the light.

It is quite difficult to realize this.

In comparison, Wulang is really far behind.

Hayao Miyazaki closed his eyes with some sigh.

It would be great if Qing Zhiyuan was my son.
