Number One Game Designer

Fang Xi also gradually discovered that the influence of his game was gradually increasing. After receiving Ernst at the airport with Chen Yu on Friday, his first question was:

"FANG, your golden skin in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is too difficult to obtain. And it's so expensive in the market!"

Fang Xi laughed, stepped forward and hugged Ernst to welcome him to Huaxia:

"If you like, I can give you a set, all gold."

Ernst also laughed and patted Fang Xi on the back:

"No need, I don't want to be distracted while working."

Before that, Fang Xi had already agreed to cooperate with Longtu, an old film company in Haifang City, and all the preparations were almost done. The company's desire, and this goal, is undoubtedly the fastest through Hollywood.

Ernst, as Hollywood's runner-up at the box office last year, still has his own box office appeal. At the same time, after the film is shot, the big director can also help you introduce Hollywood's distribution channels.

In short, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. In Hollywood, of course, Hollywood directors are more at ease.

After asking Fang Xi about his plan, Ernst rejected Chen Yu's plan to send him to the hotel that Longtu had booked.

"FANG." Ernst said this with a serious face: "I want to visit your company and the creative environment of Left 4 Dead."

"It's not about fulfilling my wish as a fan...well, part of it is, but I also want to know exactly what kind of situation you guys are in to create this epic game and those cute little things. "

Fang Xi already knew last time that the "cute little things" Ernst was talking about were those zombies.

It was a very reasonable request, and Fang Xi did not refuse the request. They returned to the airport and bought tickets to Beiyang City.

Fang Xi also gradually discovered Ernst's professionalism. Before he came, he seemed to have studied the relevant materials of the road to survival, and he had his own understanding of the key battles in the Raccoon City plot. And it seems that the single-player plot of Left 4 Dead has really broken through, and there is already a prototype for the Umbrella Company's puzzle solving.

"Tell me, FANG, did the virus spread out by accident in your original story setting?"

There is no need to keep this secret, Fang Xi nodded:

"Of course, your guess is correct. In the final analysis, the essence of the umbrella company is a commercial company. The virus they researched was an accident. There are many things in their plan, but the destruction of human beings is definitely not included. In fact, they are more inclined to think that I am a shepherd, but the virus broke out completely in the later stage, on the one hand, the price of the umbrella company to eliminate the virus was a bit high, on the other hand, they saw more possibilities in the virus, so they let the virus go.

Ernst listened carefully, and took out a small notebook to write down carefully, and guessed:

"But then you found it cumbersome to insert this paragraph in the game, so you deleted it?"

Fang Xi nodded:

"I later interviewed many employees of our company who had tried it. In fact, everyone didn't care much about the concept of the umbrella company, and they didn't care about why the virus broke out. For them, they like this crazy world, but How did this crazy world come about, whocare? So I hid these clues in part of the dialogue, and if players are interested in the plot, they will find this part of the description.”

But speaking of which,

It was time for Fang Xi to ask:

"Ernst, do you see the value of zombies in movies?"

"Of course." Ernst clasped his hands together: "The... monster you created has low makeup costs, but at the same time has strong plasticity and exploration value. For example, in the face of this situation, what would a person do? Do? What about a regime? What about an ethnic group?"

"Even, the zombies in the setting only have the instinct of beasts, so what if there is an intelligent individual among them? The audience is interested in putting it on the screen."

Fang Xi nodded in admiration. If he was himself in the last time and space, it would be nothing to think about it, because most of them have seen or been in contact with it, but Ernst, an aborigine in this world, is sensitive to the reshaping of stories. Sexual height is scary, is this the so-called sense of professionalism?

"But if this is the case, you don't need to come to me to shoot, because this thing cannot be patented. You can change the name of the virus and change the characteristics of the zombie, such as photophobia? For example, fear of a certain sound? I believe the story can still be wonderful." Fang Xi raised the biggest doubt in his heart.

Hearing this, Ernst took out his notebook and wrote a few lines:

"FANG, thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it later."

"But I've actually answered your question before, and now you ask me the same answer."

"First of all, you are a game producer that I like to respect, and games were very important when I was the same age. I respect all those who can create good stories by themselves."

"Secondly, your players are now, um... a valuable asset. If I cooperate with you, my film may become a classic. If, as you said, it is still not justified after all, it may be a The level of bestsellers in the store."

Creating classics may be the obsession in Ernst's heart. After Fang Ximing knew it, he didn't say much.

In the next day, Ernst and Fang Xi looked at all the early concept designs of Left 4 Dead by the R\u0026D department of Left 4 Dead.

There is also a short film made at the time of the creation of the zombies. Seeing that Fang Xi shut down two zombie actors in the conference room at that time, Ernst laughed so hard that he fell down:

"It's a genius idea. It seems that it would be good to make a stage play of zombies. It must be very interesting. Write it down."

Ernst was also amazed at the 3D model of Raccoon City that Fang Xi and the R\u0026D department made together. This is a large sand table-like thing, which was made by the R\u0026D department through 3D printing technology after modeling Raccoon City. Yes, small pieces were printed and put together in the hall on the floor.

Although it is troublesome, it is indeed very convenient. After discussing the establishment of the plot, most of the people in the department will choose here. They also made a batch of small flags with the names and portraits of the characters to indicate the location during the discussion. Fang Xi It's very interesting to watch, it looks like the ancient generals lined up their troops.

"Can I take them?" Ernst said bluntly:

"I can use this to guide the film department to use it as a set. This is indeed a little more comprehensive in terms of plot considerations." ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Fang Xi has nothing to do:

"Okay, but it may take a day after our department copies it, and I'll mail it to you later."

In the end, it was naturally the script of this trip, and Fang Xi was relieved when he handed the script to Ernst:

His main role in this movie is over, and then it's up to Ernst to play!
