Chapter 682 - Linkage with "Sea Fortress" DLC (Ask for a monthly pass!) )
"Didn't you realize anything?"
"Don't worry, speak slowly, tell your journey in detail, don't miss any details."
Zhu Xiaoce followed Lu Zhiyao to the room and sat down on the sofa in the living room of the suite.
Lu Zhiyao took a sip of the half-drunk Coke on the table, and began to spit bitterness on Zhu Xiaoce.
"Director Zhu, I don't know if it's because your method is not easy to use, or if I haven't mastered the essence, in short, I haven't realized anything."
"You said I should imagine every unit in this place as a living person."
"I've been reminding myself of this, and at first it was okay, I deliberately let all the bloody soldiers hide behind, and no one died."
"But if you don't pay attention to the back, one will die, and if you don't pay attention, one will die......"
"Later, I found out that the more I tried to treat all these people as living people, the more I couldn't do it!"
"Because if I keep emphasizing to myself that they are alive, I will not be able to concentrate on thinking rationally and dealing with the current battle."
"And then the more tangled it is, the more people die."
"So in the end, the battle became more and more difficult, and I couldn't save these people's lives at all."
"Even though I repeatedly lie to myself that these are living people, my subconscious is very resistant and constantly denying this, so I can't think of ...... as you say"
"In the end, I was confused, confused, even if many people died, I felt indifferent, and everything returned to square one."
"In short, nothing."
Lu Zhiyao finished spitting out the bitter water and looked at Zhu Xiaoce.
He originally thought that he would see a disappointed or comforting expression on Zhu Xiaoce's face, but he didn't expect Zhu Xiaoce to raise his hand, signal him not to speak, and lower his head to think seriously.
Lu Zhiyao was stunned.
What do you mean? Could it be that Director Zhu really found any inspiration from my words?
Are directors so good at brain supplementation?
Zhu Xiaoce frowned, feeling as if he had caught something, but it was a little unreal.
Mr. Pei asked the soldiers in the game to have their own ideas, combined with the practice of "breaking the dimensional wall", which naturally reminds people of the idea that "the soldiers in the game are actually real people".
But this idea has already been used, and if you want to say something new, you have to dig deep into the idea and come up with something new.
Lu Zhiyao's mental journey, although it cannot be directly used in the plot, also provides some ideas that I didn't think of before.
Like what:
It seems ironic to care too much about whether these units are real people or not, and to reduce sacrifice by not treating them as human beings;
Because of the special carrier of the game, in the process of playing the game, the subconscious will resist and deny the idea that "the characters in the game are all real people";
When too many people die, life becomes a number, and the supreme commander only falls into numbness and despair;
But is it right to treat people entirely as numbers? It seems that more problems will be generated......
Moreover, Lu Zhiyao is playing "Star Sea 2", not "Fate and Choice".
Imagine that if it were Fate and Choice, each creep would have their own ideas, and the gap between humans and Zerg would be even greater......
Many ideas collided quickly, and Zhu Xiaoce suddenly felt that inspiration came!
He hurriedly said, "I'll use the computer!" ”
Lu Zhiyao hurriedly stood up: "Okay." ”
Zhu Xiaoce quit "Xinghai 2", immediately created a new document, and began to type the keyboard quickly.
Lu Zhiyao stood behind curiously, and after watching it for half a minute, he said with some doubts: "Director Zhu, what are you doing...... Write a synopsis from scratch? ”
Zhu Xiaoce hurriedly said: "Of course not!" I have more than 100,000 words of scripts in my office computer, and this is just a brief note of the inspiration just now. ”
"Don't interrupt my train of thought, don't look at me, you can't write when you look at me. You sit down to the side. ”
Staying away, Zhu Xiaoce continued to tap the keyboard frantically, recording all the inspirations in his mind.
Lu Zhiyao was suspicious in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to look at it again, so he could only wait on the side with a hundred claws.
Zhu Xiaoce wrote quickly, constantly adding and deleting.
"Mr. Pei said that there is only one protagonist Lu Zhiyao."
"Either there is no rivalry, and it's all one-man shows, which means that the protagonist must have many changes in mentality to support the length of the whole movie."
"Now the word...... It's five times, it's not enough. ”
"Hmm...... It may also be that there is a rivalry, but the rivalry is not an actor. ”
"Artificial intelligence?"
"Well, if you want to break the dimensional wall, the protagonist controls the fleet through the game, and you must have the help of artificial intelligence. Similarly, if the game itself wants to simplify the operation, it must also need a certain amount of AI help. ”
"Since there is to be artificial intelligence in the movie, it must be a rival with the protagonist. Moreover, with the intervention of artificial intelligence, the mentality of the protagonist can change many times. ”
"Nine times."
"The protagonist's mindset changes nine times, and each time it pushes the story a little further and gets closer to the ultimate truth."
And it must not be forgotten that the protagonist is a strong-willed space warrior who does not have too many expressions. So try to present a contradiction:"
"The plot is completely unexpected by the audience and brings strong plot tension, but the protagonist is always strong, calm, and sane, and does not produce a little emotional fluctuation until the end, and every emotional change must be expressed with very subtle expressions......"
"There is only one protagonist, so this protagonist must impress the audience."
"Tell a good story and create a good protagonist. In Mr. Pei's opinion, this should be enough. ”
Zhu Xiaoce wrote about five hundred words, then checked them and nodded with satisfaction.
This is the most essential synopsis of the story, but if you want to write a script, you need to adjust and refine it repeatedly.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaoce put away the game book and put it in his backpack and took it away: "Okay, actor, your work is done, I'm inspired!" I'll go back and make up for the little bit of the script that is missing, and then we'll be ready to shoot right away! ”
Lu Zhiyao asked with some uncertainty: "Director Zhu, are you sure that the script is only a little bit short?" ”
Zhu Xiaoce smiled: "Originally, it was a lot worse, but now it's not bad!" Rest well, get your beard shaved, and I'll send you the script for the first part in no time. ”
Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment: "Do you want to give me the script in batches?" ”
Zhu Xiaoce nodded: "Of course, in order to make you better adapt to the role." I'll go first! ”
After Zhu Xiaoce finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lu Zhiyao scratched his head a little confused.
I feel that what I said really inspired Director Zhu Xiaoce.
But I still can't think of what this script will look like......
……
Zhu Xiaoce returned to Feihuang Studio and directly called Huang Sibo and the screenwriters together for a short meeting.
"What do you think of my idea? If we can, we'll start working immediately and get the script done as soon as possible. ”
"While writing the script, the preliminary preparation can also be carried out."
The screenwriters showed surprised expressions: "Awesome, Director Zhu!" Not only does the story fit well with the game, but the characters also stand out and the story develops unexpectedly......"
Huang Sibo also nodded frequently: "Very good!" And the content of the movie is really in line with the game, and I already have an idea of how to do the game! ”
Only one screenwriter frowned slightly: "But, Director Zhu, I think this ending is a bit of a forcible reversal, and it's not natural enough." ”
"Of course, it seems understandable to shoot like this, but some viewers may not be able to accept it."
"Can you find a way to bury some foreshadowing in front of you, hint at it?"
Zhu Xiaoce was silent for a moment, and after thinking carefully, he nodded: "Well, there may be a little bit of this feeling." But...... The previous content is already very complicated, and I can't stuff this foreshadowing. ”
"What's more, if the hint is too obvious, the audience may guess it directly, which may cause all the puzzles buried to collapse."
Or......
"You can bury a little foreshadowing outside the movie and deliberately induce everyone to misunderstand, but the mystery revealed at the end of the movie will make everyone feel that this is unexpected and reasonable."
Huang Sibo thought for a moment: "It can be like this!" The game is making DLC for Tengda's original game, and I went to them to help make a related DLC, which can not only lay the groundwork, but also warm up the new game in advance! ”
Zhu Xiaoce nodded: "Okay, then everyone will improve the script according to the story outline I just gave, be more efficient in the past two days, and hurry up to complete the script!" ”
The screenwriters nodded their heads and went to work motivated.
And Zhu Xiaoce made a call to Yuyang Games and explained his intentions to Wang Xiaobin.
Wang Xiaobin on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment: "If it's a science fiction theme...... There's really no game that's too suitable. Or do it in "Sea Fortress"? ”
"You can make a separate plot for "Sea Fortress", from the protagonist to the monster reworked."
Zhu Xiaoce was very happy: "Okay, FPS games are more suitable." Because FPS games are from a first-person perspective, the sense of substitution is stronger, and it is easier for players to appreciate what I am trying to express. ”
"Moreover, Sea Fortress has a large player base, and the publicity effect will be better."
"I just wonder if it will affect your original development plans?"
Wang Xiaobin: "No, in fact, I haven't decided how to do it specifically, if you have a better plan, of course I'm willing to use it." Moreover, Tengda Games is developing "Fate and Choice", and I can directly use many art resources here, so the workload is not so large. ”
Zhu Xiaoce was very happy: "Okay, then I'll send you the synopsis of the story soon, and I'll do it in the DLC of "Sea Fortress"!" ”
