Chapter 678 The script is still a little bit short of 100 million (ask for a monthly pass!) )
Lin Wan raised her hand and said, "I have something to add." Every soldier of the human race has its own ideas, and it is not necessarily that it will collapse and disobey the command, but it may also take the initiative to become a death squad against the Zerg and achieve victory, right? ”
"And the specific activities of these human beings, this can obviously be linked to the pre-war strategy."
"For example, what kind of measures did the commander take, which affected the morale and thinking of the soldiers, so that the soldiers changed from the original military spirit to the unity of the people."
Huang Sibo nodded: "Yes, this is definitely a good practice." ”
Everyone began to record one after another, and at this point, some of the prototypes of the game have come out.
This game is completely different from traditional RTS games, emphasizing pre-battle strategy rather than in-battle strategy, emphasizing authenticity.
Moreover, the game takes the plot very seriously, and the weight of this movie is even higher than the game itself.
After the group of horses finished recording, their eyes suddenly lit up: "I suddenly thought of an idea for a plot!" ”
"Mr. Pei likes the gameplay of 'breaking the dimensional wall' very much, and this time he is emphasizing authenticity, isn't it very suitable?"
"If we imply to the player in the story, all the units they control have a real person in them, and every unit sacrificed is a real life...... Doesn't that have the effect of breaking the dimensional wall? ”
Zhu Xiaoce pondered for a moment: "The idea is a good idea, but ...... It's a bit outdated. ”
"This idea, as early as 1985, someone wrote science fiction, and also won the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award, and that story is also about humans and zerg, about a child who mistakenly thinks it is a game, but it turns out that he is actually commanding an interstellar war......"
Ma Yiqun didn't care: "Of course I know this, it's a science fiction classic, how could I not have seen it." ”
"But literature doesn't mean that if you write about a subject, I can't write about it, just like after "The Lord of the Rings", is it possible that writers can't write Western fantasy themes? Of course not. ”
"The key depends on whether it is a clumsy imitation, or is it a new idea written on the shoulders of predecessors?"
"Whether it's writing a book or making a game, a good idea is the foundation of the foundation, and whether the idea can be used well depends on how you interpret it."
"I think this idea is very suitable for this game, and it is also very much in line with Mr. Pei's consistent game design philosophy."
Zhu Xiaoce nodded: "Hmm...... You're right. But that meant we had to find a way to tell the story in a new way. ”
"If we don't come up with something new, it's going to be a pick-up, and movies and games are going to fall apart."
The crowd fell silent again.
Obviously, if you really do this theme, you have to find a way to surpass the classics, or at least make a different interpretation, which is difficult to imagine.
Huang Sibo was a little melancholy: "Mr. Pei gave too little information this time. ”
Lin Wan flipped through Mr. Pei's request again and found a blind spot: "I saw that Mr. Pei's request can only find one actor, and there is no need to have an expression, is this hinting at the plot of the movie?" ”
Zhu Xiaoce said: "I've already thought about this, it's nothing more than two possibilities. ”
Or, the protagonist wears a helmet or mask the whole time, so that people can't see his face and becomes a face-painted symbol. There are some movies that deal with it this way. ”
"Either that, or this protagonist is cold and expressionless by nature. This highlights the character of the protagonist. ”
"But both explanations make sense, and that makes it hard to decide."
Ma thought for a moment: "Although they can all be explained, the rationality is also different." ”
"If the protagonist becomes a face-painted symbol, then this symbol must have a referential meaning, and in some superhero themes or science fiction films, when reflecting social contradictions and social problems, this kind of usage is more common."
"But most of the space on our side is talking about sci-fi wars, what can 'Facebook' represent? It seems that no specific referential intent can be found. ”
"But if it's a prominent character, it's actually very clear."
"What kind of person has no expression? People with strong psychological qualities and extreme calmness have no expressions. ”
"I remember reading a report before that the psychological quality of astronauts in our country is very strong, even when the spacecraft is launched, the heartbeat is still less than 80 times per minute, and even when I mistakenly think that I am going to die, the heartbeat does not fluctuate too much."
"It is definitely impossible for a person like this to be emotional, and it is normal to have a expressionless face, which is very in line with the role requirements of Mr. Pei."
Zhu Xiaoce thought thoughtfully: "So, Pei is always hinting to us that the protagonist is a space warrior with excellent psychological quality?" ”
"Moreover, there is only one protagonist, and the others are all tricks, which means that most of the time it is a one-man show for the protagonist. In a relatively isolated space, commanding the battle against the Zerg? ”
"If combined with Mr. Pei's concept of 'breaking the dimensional wall', then the prototype of a story can be roughly determined:"
"The protagonist is a trained space veteran and a commander who spends most of the plot directing fleets and Zerg battles through the screen."
"But is he commanding a real person? Does he know this? That's the key. ”
The crowd fell silent again.
The clues left by Mr. Pei have been almost deduced, but he still hasn't deduced a sufficiently clear synopsis of the story.
The game mechanics affect the movie plot, and the movie plot in turn affects the game mechanics. As long as one point cannot be settled, the whole project will be difficult to do.
Huang Sibo thought for a while: "Why don't I go and ask Mr. Pei again?" ”
"Tell him what we've come up with and ask him to give him some hints?"
Zhu Xiaoce shook his head and said resolutely: "No! ”
"Since Mr. Pei has said all this, it means that he does not plan to reveal more information."
"We can't always count on Mr. Pei for everything."
""Game Producer", "Beautiful Tomorrow", and "Struggle" are all brought by Mr. Pei, but we can't wait for Mr. Pei to feed him to his mouth."
"We have to try to write a good story ourselves. Mr. Pei has already helped us set the big framework, and we should play part of it ourselves. ”
Everyone looked at each other and felt that Zhu Xiaoce's words were very reasonable.
Indeed, we can't always count on Mr. Pei, we also have to work hard ourselves!
This time, Mr. Pei just gave a general direction and did not explain too many details.
But it also means that it also gives everyone a high degree of freedom in terms of gameplay and story structure, and it's a good opportunity to try to break through.
After several rounds of brainstorming, the paper in front of everyone was full of dense handwriting.
Although it was not fully finalized, the general direction is very clear.
Huang Sibo tapped lightly on the table: "Okay, I think there are enough results today." The task given by Mr. Pei, we can't expect to eat a fat man in one bite. ”
"After you go back, calm down, and wait for the precipitation to settle down, and then go back and review these contents."
"I'll have a group chat, and everyone can share any good ideas in the group at any time."
"Don't delay this time, think while preparing."
"Xianbin, you guys will make a big framework first, and those art needs will come out as soon as possible, including the original paintings of human soldiers, warships, and various arms of the Zerg, etc., you can prepare them first."
"It's the same with Feihuang Studio, after determining the parts that can be determined, start preparing in advance."
"As you prepare, you might suddenly come up with a great idea?"
Everyone nodded and got up.
Huang Sibo once again expressed his gratitude to everyone, after all, Lu Mingming, Lin Wan, Ma Yihe and others have nothing to do with this project, and they are purely here to help.
Lu Mingliang, Lin Wan and others also said that they are not welcome, after all, this is Mr. Pei's project, and everyone is duty-bound!
Soon, everyone left.
Zhu Xiaoce said to Huang Sibo: "Brother Huang, I'm thinking, why don't we give the starring role first?" Lu Zhiyao seems to have a schedule recently. ”
Huang Sibo was stunned for a moment: "Of course Lu Zhiyao is fine, but his acting skills are good, isn't it a bit of a waste for you to let him play a role with no expression?" Besides, isn't the script still undecided? ”
Zhu Xiaoce said: "I have an idea, I want to find Lu Zhiyao to verify it." ”
Huang Sibo: "What do you think?" ”
Zhu Xiaoce said: "I plan to lock him up, play games for a few days, and bring in the role." Maybe you'll find some inspiration in the process? ”
……
Zhu Xiaoce came to the conference room and dialed Lu Zhiyao's phone.
"Hello? Director Zhu? ”
Zhu Xiaoce got straight to the point: "Mr. Pei wants to invest in a new film and invest 300 million, do you have any ideas?" ”
Lu Zhiyao's voice was full of surprise: "Yes, of course there is!" ”
Many companies say how much money to invest in making movies, which is often bragging, and the money actually invested in the movie itself does not necessarily matter.
But Mr. Pei doesn't play those word games, saying that investing 300 million can only be more and not less, this is a proper big production!
Mr. Pei's project is definitely a good project, and Lu Zhiyao will definitely have to come even if he gets less salary.
Lu Zhiyao was looking forward to it: "Director Zhu, is there a script, send it to me first?" ”
Zhu Xiaoce was silent for a moment: "Uh...... The script hasn't been written yet, why don't you come to Jingzhou first, let's think about it in the long run? ”
Lu Zhiyao: "A little bit? ”
Zhu Xiaoce's tone was very firm: "Well, it's almost a little!" ”
Lu Zhiyao thought for a while: "Then, Director Zhu, are there any other actors in this play?" Uncle Zhang, are they coming? ”
Zhu Xiaoce: "Uh...... You're alone for now. You're the main actor, and there will be other actors in the future. ”
For some reason, Lu Zhiyao felt a little unreliable taste.
But after thinking about it, this is Mr. Pei's project after all, so there's nothing to worry about.
Lu Zhiyao nodded immediately: "Okay, then I'll be ready to prepare, and I'll be there in two days!" ”
The whole book
