Number One Game Designer

Games based on novels are nothing new. Use words to describe a story, use comics to color the story, music to express the emotion of the story, film and television to make the story three-dimensional and warm, and the game allows players to participate in the story to feel the depth of the story And the joys and sorrows of the characters in the plot.

It's just that Lu Qiu didn't expect that the people in his company used a novel as an IP just for practice, and there seemed to be some problems with copyright?

So she knocked on the table: "Be clear, you also know the temper of the person above us. Although he is usually very talkative, if it involves such issues as IP infringement or plagiarism, he will never tolerate it."

"So, Director Liu, if you have any questions, it's better to explain them directly here."

Sighing, Liu Hai also gradually collected his thoughts. In fact, according to the normal process, this game of course does not need him as the director to come forward, so of course there are other reasons for him to be here.

"Director Lu...it feels weird to always be called this. I'll just call you by your name, Lu Qiu."

Lu Qiu nodded to express his approval. In fact, the three executives surnamed Lu sometimes felt a little dumbfounded.

"Lu Qiu, what do you think about the topic of cultural invasion?" Liu Hai brought up another topic, which made Lu Qiu a little confused.

Although I don't know why the topic jumps so much, but this is also a common topic within Hongyi, or because China's soft power has not kept up due to the aftermath of wars and various problems in the past few decades. It's a part of many people's hearts that can't be let go. Of course, Lu Qiu was also concerned. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Qiu worded his answer and said:

"We are in an era of high-speed information exchange, so cultural mutual influence is visible and tangible. You cannot deny its existence, but there is no need to exaggerate. The process of cultural influence is mutual, even if it is Foreign cultures must first experience the baptism of local cultures before they can be integrated. Generally speaking, if they are cultures with equal influence, they will influence each other. Invasion will only occur when the cultural output of the two groups is not equal. .”

"Of course, these are conceptual. If we talk about what has happened in the world, the whole world is now being invaded by American culture. Plan to take the initiative to invade, or because of the obsession of some defeated countries. In short, the United States not only defeated Japan during World War II, they also defeated the whole world in the subsequent culture war. Now there are many ideas and habits that everyone takes for granted in life For example, the slogan of democracy and freedom, such as the heroic beauty saving the world, are basically the products of American cultural exports.”

After talking for a long time in one breath, Lu Qiu was a little out of breath, picked up the cup in front of him and took a big sip of tea to slow down, and continued:

"But in short, this is a very helpless thing. For example, in the case of movies, they set up their own awards, and then they awarded awards to their best movies, and then told you that this is the truth, goodness and beauty of human beings. He is a player, so it is relatively helpless for us to compete in this respect. To be honest, this kind of control is actually similar to Hongyi's control over the game now. We can set our own standards for a good game, and we can reject it. Those games that are not in line with our culture, because we control the right to speak in the game.”

"Whether the game is fun, whether the movie is good or not, and whether the novel is interesting or not are all subjective perceptions of individuals, but manipulating the subjective perceptions of a group of people is undoubtedly a cultural invasion."

"Actually, Mr. Fang told me about this issue two years ago." Liu Hai raised his head slightly, with a nostalgic look.

"Mr. Fang is very concerned about this issue. He said that because of movies, we started at a different stage. Modern movies are more of a manifestation of complete industrial power.

We are naturally lagging behind in this aspect, and the highland of film culture is occupied by the West, so there is no reason for them to give up. Therefore, if Huaxia's films want to use their own culture to make the world recognize it, it is destined to be an obstacle The process of 'joining', because you have to beat them in their home court, the difficulty can be imagined. "

"Then Mr. Fang said at the time that we had already failed once in the movie, and that was a helpless move. But in the game, we are standing in a relatively fair environment, so we have to do things, even for a while. We cannot make our own cultural output, but we must at least hold this new cultural highland in our own hands.”

"Tidemakers like Mr. Fang are always far-sighted." Lu Qiu sighed softly. Standing next to such a genius is bound to be a tiring job, just like what Liu Hai said two years ago Xi realized the culture of games The exported highlands exist and plans have been made to fight for them, but at that time I was only thinking about how to support myself.

"Who says it's not?" Liu Hai agreed, and then said: "Then this game was actually made by a few people from our department's technical team. They did me a big favor, so I agreed to help them test the game. To give a little opinion, I didn't care at first, because it was essentially a game made by a few newcomers, but after I got the demo of the game, I played it over and over for a night, and I suddenly realized that two years ago, I was always with me. Talk about cultural highlands."

"I know, it seems that you are looking for a girlfriend?" Lu Qiu said with a teasing face.

Liu Hai blushed a bit: "No, no, we're just friends, because what she did in the previous public opinion matter was a bit irritating, so I'll go and confront her face to face."

After finishing speaking, Liu Hai waved his hands and said, "Let's talk about the problem before us."

"After Mr. Fang told me this, he made "Assassin: Spring and Autumn". This is a gift from our ancestors, but from my own selfish point of view, I still prefer modern history. A little more, because people of our age have just witnessed China's decline to rise, from just a passer-by in the United Nations to the present. The stories in history are wonderful, but our modern ones are not too bad."

"Then this "Black Soil" made me see this hope. I think this is likely to be a good enough modern RPG game."

Liu Hai finally fully explained the reason for his visit.
