Live Action Opens Up and Gets Blocked, Backhandedly Rectifying the Gaming Industry

ED's beautiful music sounded.

After seven hours, the animation finally ended.

It started in the afternoon and now it's evening.

But no one left, everyone was silent, with complicated expressions.

During the ED, which lasted for more than five minutes, there was no sound in the screening room except for the occasional sobs from several female colleagues.

Everyone seems to be waiting for something.

Wait for a miracle.

However, until the last second of the animation, there was nothing like an Easter egg.

Naturally, there is no hint that David or Rebecca are actually not dead yet, as many people expected.

Not a single shot.

"Why"

There were many sighs in the screening room.

The company executives sitting at the screening couldn't help but applaud. As soon as the sound came out, many people seemed to be awakened from a dream and applauded.

There was thunderous applause.

This is similar to the etiquette of film festivals or premieres. There will be an applause session after the film ends. The duration of the applause depends on how much you like the film.

After a full twenty seconds, the applause stopped.

Netflix executives couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a classic cyberpunk tragedy. This is a great work. Rebecca is a well-shaped character. Jackson has a good vision."

"Yes, you signed a very good work. Who said cyberpunk themes can't have loli characters?"

"I heard that you signed the contract without seeing the samples, and that you had a mismatched lolita image. I thought you were deceived. This animation is going to be a storm."

"That's the naughty cat who made the CG movie "Left 4 Dead: Sacrifice". What are you thinking? How could you not portray Rebecca well?"

"Hahaha, yes, I was overthinking it. I will definitely praise it on my Twitter! Don't worry, Jackson, I won't spoil it."

Many people chatted with each other while walking out of the screening room one after another.

But some people were not in a hurry to leave. They came to Jackson's side and asked, "This is a linkage animation for the game, right? Will he produce a game?"

Jackson nodded and said, "Yes, it's called Cyberpunk 2077, and it's expected to be officially released at the end of April."

"Cyberpunk 2077? Okay, I understand."

"What's the matter?"

The colleague gritted his teeth and said, "When the time comes, I'm going to kill Adam with a hammer ten thousand times in the game to vent my hatred!"

"Well"

Jackson didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while, but he could understand it from the bottom of his heart.

The stamina of this animation is really great.

There is an uneasy feeling, a kind of discomfort that seems to be torture but not torture.

The fate of these characters has long been made clear with various explicit and implicit instructions. They are pushed forward by the torrent of fate, and sometimes it is not their choice.

More than anything, it's a kind of forced helplessness.

David's fate was sealed when he chose to install the Sianwistan.

Lucy has been a hacker in Arasaka's captivity since she was a child, and her fate has already been determined.

The same goes for Mann, Rebecca, and other characters.

These characters are not heroes, they are even criminals.

However, after a lot of description and preparation, each character has a hero-like exit.

Death is commonplace, but not unexpected.

Unexpected and reasonable.

Pawar didn't stay longer, stood up and left directly. Staying for another minute would be torture.

At this time, he was thinking about it.

This is no longer a problem with animation.

Although I haven't seen the original film of "Galaxy Hunter: Rise" yet, there are eight or nine chances that I can't beat it.

There is no chance of taking back the resources that belong to him.

"Edgewalker" is too strong, it's terrifyingly strong.

It’s not just about the animation. You can think of how many people were broken because of the ending of the animation “Edge Walker” before the game was released.

Then I impulsively bought "Cyberpunk 2077" just to try to find Adam's Hammer in the game and avenge David and Rebecca.

Not to mention the animation "Galaxy Hunter: Rise", even the game "Galaxy Hunter" itself may be infinitely squeezed for survival space.

Take another look at Jackson, who is surrounded by many people asking if there will be a sequel or a theatrical version of this animation.

If there was ever a time to be high-spirited, it would be now.

Since it is gambling, and it is a big gamble, once you win, the benefits will be equally amazing.

Jackson obviously won, completely and without any suspense.

You can tell by looking at the corners of his mouth that reach to the ears.

Pawar sighed again.

When did you lose?

If you think about it carefully, it seems to have been since the other party's trip to China, right?

If you lose to Naughty Cat, it's not a loss.

Finally, he glanced at Jackson faintly.

Pawar snorted coldly.

Don't think you've won.

You all thought my only big move this year would be "Galaxy Hunters: Rise"?

Then you are wrong.

He took the elevator down to the underground parking lot, got in his car, took out his cell phone and made a call.

After a few beeps, the call was connected.

"Hello? Director Spencer, which streaming platform will your self-written and directed movie be on? How are you considering it?"

After listening to the other person on the phone talking a lot.

Pawar also gradually laughed.

"These requirements are a bit excessive, but they can be negotiated."

After making this call, Pawar made another call to Arnold.

"Mr. Arnold, I'm sorry, the screening has just ended."

"Have you finished watching it? How is the quality of "Edge Walker"? It would be more appropriate to start working on it after the few weeks of updates."

Pawar held the steering wheel with one hand and drove towards home with his mobile phone in one hand.

"I think it's ready to be released. "Edgewalker" is almost impeccable. It will be the greatest original animation this year, no, or in recent years."

As soon as these words came out, the phone was silent for a while.

Then, Arnold suppressed his angry voice and said, "Damn it, I came to you for cooperation because of my trust. Are you going to give me this answer?"

Pawar said helplessly: "This is not to elevate the competition. The quality of the animation "Edge Walker" is indeed excellent. Now that the entire episode is released at once, it can gain a lot of popularity, but it will be even worse in the future."

After all the plot unfolds, who will care about you "Galaxy Hunter: Rise"?

After a moment of silence on the phone, Arnold snorted: "From your point of view, it may be a good work, but from the audience's point of view, there will always be one or two episodes that have problems. I don't believe that Naughty Cat is a game." The company can really do animation well!”

Is this crazy?

Pawar smiled bitterly and said: "But Naughty Cat has the gems of "Left 4 Dead: Sacrifice" at the forefront, so it is still capable. Or this way, after I watch "Galaxy Hunter: Rise", I will make a set of matching games for you. publicity plan.”

"No need."

After saying that, he hung up the phone coldly.

Pawar let out a sigh of relief and felt a little headache for a moment.

It seems that this deal with Electronic Arts can basically be regarded as a failure.

the next day.

Arnold was not in good spirits.

The first episode of "Edgewalker" was released yesterday, and he also watched it.

I have to say, the quality is really explosive.

But the phone call with Pawar kept him from sleeping well at night.

Even if what Pawar said is exaggerated, at least we can know that the quality of "Edgewalker" is indeed explosive.

I thought about what the other party said, and after watching "Galaxy Hunters: Rise", I helped formulate a promotion plan to match the game.

hehe.

Need your help?

Is it because Electronic Arts has no one left?

After an unhappy phone call with Pawar last night, he immediately made a call to the Galaxy Hunters development team.

The purpose is to brainstorm and find a suitable way to promote the game.

Not long after going to work, the secretary knocked on the office door.

"Sir, Martin from the studio is here. He said that the joint promotion plan for games and animations is ready."

"Let him in."

Martin walked into the office with a flattering look on his face, and sat across from the desk with some anxiety, holding a document in his hand.

This document was completed by him working overtime last night.

He once had a brilliant career, stealing Wang Yi's "Demon Hunter" project by relying on outside moves, but was demoted after being hit head-on by "Monster Hunter: World" and smashed into pieces.

He became one of the most ordinary members of the "Galaxy Hunter" project team.

But you can't let go of this thing of rights once you feel it.

I was the chief designer or chief supervisor of a large project team. I was so high-spirited that hundreds of people in the team had to listen to me.

After becoming an ordinary employee, this gap cannot be filled in one or two strokes.

Bowken resigned in disgrace and Arnold came to power.

Martin has been looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to make a comeback!

This time, the chief designer of "Galaxy Hunters" handed over the design of the game animation joint announcement to him.

ecstatic!

He knew that this was the only way to turn around.

Handing the plan over, Arnold began to look through it.

After just looking at it for a few seconds, he frowned.

"A linkage with Chili Sauce? What kind of linkage is this? Does it have anything to do with "Galaxy Hunters"?"

As if he had known there would be such a question, Martin quickly began to explain.

"Sir, the animation of "Galaxy Hunters" is absurd, with all kinds of weird planets. There is a planet on which the main source of energy is chili sauce! This planet occupies a large proportion of the animation. Drama."

Arnold frowned, still not understanding what this had to do with hot sauce, and then gestured: "Go on."

Seeing that his boss accepted this setting, Martin continued: "The hot brand chili sauce recently launched a new series of products, and we plan to promote it. I am confident that we can reach this cooperation. Let the chili sauce in our animation indicate the hot brand. The name of the hot sauce, the hot sauce with the name of "Galaxy Hunter" will appear on TV, short videos, billboards and other places!"

Arnold's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he quickly sat upright and looked carefully.

This brand of chili sauce has a long history, but in recent years it has lagged behind the times and has low recognition among young people.

It seems that this is an attempt to break into the young people, so it is linked with the game.

The hot brand hot sauce has entered the eyes of young people through "Galaxy Hunter", and "Galaxy Hunter" is also using the hot brand hot sauce to appear on television, newspapers, short videos and other advertising channels.

It can be described as a win-win situation.

No, it should be said that Electronic Arts' "Galaxy Hunters" took a big advantage in this joint announcement.

Arnold then looked back.

There are also many other joint publicity and distribution plans.

But compared to the first plan, which can take advantage of wool, it is much inferior.

Electronic Arts also comes from an era when games also needed to be advertised on the ground.

As the CEO of Electronic Arts, Arnold knows how costly this kind of advertising method is.

So he made a quick decision: "Okay, that's it! Go ahead and talk about it. If you can't reach cooperation on this publicity plan, then consider other channels."

Martin was delighted and nodded in agreement.

I thought this negotiation would take a long time, but I didn't expect that good results would come out in just one week.

A week later, Martin sat in Arnold's office again. This time, he could clearly feel that both the secretary and the boss had a much better attitude toward him.

Boss Arnold asked expectantly: "How's it going?"

Martin nodded, and then said with some embarrassment: "It's basically no problem. But Party A requires us to sign an agreement. If the promotion of hot sauce does not achieve the effect, we will have to pay compensation. If it causes damage to reputation, we will have to pay a large sum of money."

Then, he talked about the content of the discussion in detail.

It stands to reason that EA does not make money from the popular brand of hot sauce, so signing such an agreement is a bit nonsense.

But considering that if the cooperation is reached, it will be a big advantage and the publicity effect will not be achieved?

How can it be.

Damage to reputation?

Less likely.

However, to be on the safe side, Arnold still asked: "I haven't watched "Galaxy Hunters: Rise" yet. Do you think it might cause reputational damage to the popular hot sauce?"

After hearing this, Martin took out his tablet and adjusted a few clips.

"This is where I find the pieces that might be problematic."

Arnold took the tablet and read it.

Because in the setting, the pepper on the planet is a very special plant that contains energy.

So chili sauce can be both food and energy, and can be used as gasoline.

First fragment.

The protagonist comes to this absurd planet and teases a native of the planet: "When people on your planet do X, do they also get red hot sauce?"

Arnold pointed: "Change this paragraph."

Martin: "Okay."

Second fragment.

A native of the planet said to the protagonist: "Damn it, I hate the hot sauce made from the Eastern Continent hot sauce, it will shorten the life of my engine!"

Arnold: "Change this paragraph too."

Martin: "Okay."

The third, the fourth, the fifth.

For two full hours, a worried Arnold had to change more than 80% of the clips.

To the last segment.

In the final part of the animation, the protagonist takes on some decent characters to face off against the villain who is finally exposed.

The villain's biggest goal is to resurrect his daughter Jesse.

In the ending, although the villain died, the resurrected Jesse was a crazy robot.

The protagonist drove an armored car from a tall building into the ground, smashing Jesse on the ground into pieces. The chili sauce used as the power source sprayed everywhere.

The protagonist frowned and picked out a robot head covered in hot sauce from a puddle of red mud, with twin ponytails on the head.

Then the parts were disassembled and the energy source inside was returned to the people who needed it.

He also tasted the splattered hot sauce and said it tasted good.

Absurd behavior, absurd actions, absurd images.

After watching it together, it has a weird black humor look and feel, and many of the clips feel very perverted. It's amazing that this animation is not ugly to watch.

Arnold thought for a while and then said: "Let's keep this part, it's quite exciting. I can agree to the other party's request."

Martin was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, then walked out of the office and continued to do his own business.

After doing all this, Arnold continued to watch the controversial picture about chili sauce on the tablet, but not long after, an "uninvited guest" came to the office.

Pawar, whom I haven't seen for a few days.

When they met, without much greeting, Pawar sat directly opposite the office and said: "Mr. Arnold, what happened before is really a misunderstanding. I still hope that I can help formulate a publicity plan."

As he spoke, he glanced at the table.

There are pictures on the tablet there.

The scene that just flashed past

Pawar was stunned.

Why does it look so familiar?

Isn't it too similar to the scene in the last part of "Edgewalker" where Adam hammers and kills Rebecca?

Won't this cause controversy?

The character of Rebecca is sure to be a hit.

Just as he was about to remind him, he heard Arnold snorted across from him and said, "No need. I, Electronic Arts, have no shortage of people who can make plans! Since you think Naughty Cat's animation is so excellent, you can also lick it Lin Mo’s feet.”

These words were very rude, and Pawar's expression changed and became cold.

I glanced at the content on the tablet again, chose silence, turned around and left without saying a word.

Saw the uninvited guest leaving.

Arnold leaned back on the boss's chair and thought about "Galaxy Hunter" carefully.

You naughty cat has repeatedly deliberately crashed into my Electronic Arts games, which disgusts me, Electronic Arts.

I can too!

The animation "Galaxy Hunters: Rise" is not bad!

The new product series of hot brand hot sauce began to be widely announced in April.

The release of "Galaxy Hunters: Rise" will be at the end of April, the same day as the final episode of "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker" will be released, and all episodes will be released together!

Head-on confrontation!
