Number One Game Designer

Changing a game into a movie is a complex and somewhat thankless endeavor.

Different from novel adaptations, novel adaptations can communicate with the original author, and the degree of overlap between readers and audiences is not very great. Besides, the audience may not have read the original novels, just quietly watch the director's reconstruction of the novel.

The game is different. There are many people who have played it, and they feel that they understand the whole game more, and the players are a young group, which is highly overlapped with the audience.

So once the director's understanding of the game and the player's understanding often deviate.

In the last time and space, there were many movies adapted from popular games, but very few of them were widely recognized by players. Most of the problems are like this. Players feel that the core of this game is cool and cool. Then after reaching the director's hands:

Director: Let's explore love and justice, conspiracy and betrayal.

Then a game-adapted movie that was supposed to be too handsome became boring and clichéd.

This is why Fang Xi agreed without hesitation to Ernst's request to visit the R\u0026D department. Ernst himself is a player of Left 4 Dead, let him watch whatever he wants to watch, and then make a movie from the perspective of a player, it is impossible to fail... right?

But Ernst himself said that the information inside Hongyi helped him a lot.

Modern script creation often has a part of "ineffective plot", that is, the creation of a world view in a game may have 200,000 words of content, and then the creation of a story may have 400,000 words of content, and the final show to the players is used as a script What about the plot? Probably only four thousand words.

Construct a complete world in advance, and then use a part of this world to make a story. This is a common technique in modern script creation. In this way, the creation of the story does not feel frivolous, can withstand scrutiny, and is also convenient for the continued creation of subsequent works. .

What Ernst sees now is this part of the complete world constructed by Hongyi, of course, under the condition of signing a non-disclosure agreement.

"I have to say that even when I was playing games since I was a child, I never thought that several different games would use the same world view setting, let alone that several works would remain in the same world for more than 5,000 years. The span of years still seems to be in order, FANG, you are really amazing."

Fang Xi dare not take credit for this:

"In fact, I just made a prototype structure for this story. What really came out is our R\u0026D department and... If you read the assassin's trailer, you should understand, the Holy Sector department."

Ernst also laughed:

"I have read IGN's report, they said that you have officially established a department of the Order of the Holy Order in your headquarters, and compiled the chronicle of assassins in it, and invited a history professor, praised your professionalism, and By the way, I would like to ask if there are any assassins among the players who want to visit the headquarters of the Holy Order, they can communicate on their behalf."

Fang Xi also knew about the IGN report that after Hongyi went to E3 and made news, IGN paid more attention to the Eastern game market, not only did they send a reporter to write a long article on the current situation of the domestic game market Introduced to game manufacturers in North America, I also came to Hongyi as a guest to ask for an exclusive interview, and recently it is said that I want to set up a Chinese branch.

Shuiran extended an olive branch on behalf of the GAME world, and IGN was also hesitant about whether to set up its headquarters in Linjing or Haifang. Relatively speaking, although there is competition in the media industry, the relationship and significance of the competition between GAME World and IGN is not too great. The cross-business and market overlap of the two parties is not high. Cooperation is a mutually beneficial thing, and there is no need for Fang Xi worry.

Thinking of these, Fang Xi smiled and shook his head:

"In fact, the Holy Order has also expanded now. Not only the graduate students and professors of the original history department, we have also recruited several writers, and we have also incorporated our original world view structure department, and plan to compile a book. The complete timeline of the Hongyi game, so that when someone in our company wants to create a related game, they can directly find the settings in it, making it convenient for everyone."

"Like a tree trunk and leaves?" Ernst made a metaphor, and Fang Xi nodded with a smile.

The subsequent dinner was naturally served in Hongyi's cafeteria. Now Hongyi has a lot of business, and the employees are not surprised by Ernst's Aryan appearance, so Ernst can concentrate more on destroying the delicious food in front of him.

It's time to relax after eating, what about swimming and fitness in the entertainment building? Ernst finally chose Chinese massage hesitantly.

As the saying goes, when a person reaches middle age, he has no choice but to massage and massage. Fang Xi felt that it was necessary for him to exercise, otherwise it would be too late when his body was exhausted.

It took two days to obey Ernst's arrangement, and finally copied a lot of backups of materials from Hongyi, which is called reference materials, and Fang Xi didn't bother to argue with him. I can still say that Lu's information is OK, but if you want to copy Assassin's information, you have to make an inch of it. Are fanatics so terrible?

In the end, he promised him some limited edition figures that Hongyi was still planning, and then happily sent Ernst away to take up his post. The crew set up by Longtu had been waiting in Haifang City for two days according to the schedule. I didn't even wait for the director, and Fang Xi's cell phone was full of important people's calls for the past two days-every day the crew stopped there was money.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

However, during the two days with Ernst, he also chatted with him about some knowledge about movies, and they had a good chat.

One afternoon, while chatting with Ernst about 3D4D in movies, and even IMAX technology, Fang Xi finally pulled out a word that was almost forgotten in his mind, VR.

The application of VR in movies still needs a long way to go, but for games, the significance is even more significant.

There is a saying about games in the last time and space that from 2D to 3D is the first revolution of games, and the next revolution is from 3D to VR.

Arbitrarily speaking, but VR’s immersion in games is not comparable to that of 3D, but to be honest, if you look through history and see how much technology has changed from 2D to 3D in the game industry, you will find that this change will take a long time With the accumulation of technology, 3D is better, but if you want to change to VR, then the real hardware and software must be innovated together.

And this investment will definitely not be small. In the last time and space, Fang Xi knew many friends who were fooled into it by this strong wind. In 2016, I told you that the next outlet is VR. As long as you stand right, pigs can fly. Then a few years later, this same rhetoric is still the same, the difference is that what was fooled in the early days has basically become the nutrients accumulated by other people's technology.

Now that Hongyi is the actual leader of domestic games, Fang Xi feels that it is necessary to invest in advance.

It is normal for large companies to raise a few technical departments that cannot make money temporarily. Companies that lead the market can only be said to be top-notch companies, and other companies may still be able to catch up with you through revenue.

But a company with its own patented technology will enter the top class. As long as the patent is still there, the market position will be there.
