Chapter 435: A sudden turn of events! Questions pouring in!
soon!
Discussions about the DLC [John Wick] of "Payday" have spread overwhelmingly in the gaming circle.
Just one week later, Golden Wind and Legendary Pictures jointly announced that the DLC movie of the same name "John Wick" has officially started filming, and announced part of the cast.
This movie adapted from the game quickly broke through the industry.
The discussion is not only hot in the game circle, but also in the film and television entertainment circle, earning a lot of attention!
After all, compared to other movie adaptations of games, the cast of "John Wick" is unprecedentedly strong.
Even the popular "Resident Evil" couldn't compare with it.
It is well-deserved to be one of the most powerful casts among movie adaptations of games in history!
All of a sudden, reports from all walks of life came in one after another——
"[John Wick] is announced! The first movie adaptation of Golden Wind is launched!"
"Dream collaboration! After [Pacific Rim], Golden Wind and Legendary Pictures cooperate in depth!"
"The designer who understands the most lens language in the gaming industry and the most game-obsessed CEO in the film and television industry! What kind of sparks can Gu Sheng and Thomas Tull collide with?"
"In my lifetime! Golden Wind and Legendary Pictures have joined forces, and the game adaptation movie [John Wick] has received widespread attention!"
"The real "Golden Film Studio"! Golden Wind x Legendary Pictures will jointly produce the game adaptation movie "John Wick", starring Keanu Reeves!"
"..."
At this time, it is the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
Although the temperature is still slightly cold, with the announcement of the launch of this game adaptation movie, the popularity of Golden Wind seems to have reached an unprecedented height.
A company that is at the center of a storm in the gaming industry, coupled with an unprecedented and luxurious cast lineup.
Everything was as Gu Sheng had expected, instantly detonating the game and even the film and television entertainment industry.
A gaming company.
A game was developed.
Adapted into a movie.
It ignited hot expectations in the game entertainment industry.
Such a situation seems to be inevitably reminiscent of another company's top operation at the Clone Game Show that just ended at the beginning of the year——
‘It’s really amazing. Some people are making popular movies based on games, while others are using top-notch IP to create a shapeless answer.’
'Cornick: Huh? What are you talking about? What are you talking about?'
‘I always feel that Xiao Huang did it on purpose’
‘Teaching forehand and backhand, right?’
'Tell Cornick to go back to Gotham and Batman promises not to fight him'
‘The key is that this wave is so targeted, and Cologne has just passed away not long ago, so it’s hard not to think about it.’
‘Golden Wind: Watch carefully, I will only teach you once’
‘It feels like the black humor of a guy with a dark psychology like an old thief’
"I don't know if the old thief is funny or not, but compared to the other two, Kaunik is really quite humorous."
'To this day, I still can't understand how they turned such a top-notch IP as Lord of the Rings into a piece of defense.'
‘‘Unheard Historical Name’’
'Hahahahahahahaha...'
‘…’
obviously!
With the release of the movie's launch news, not only the fiery effect Gu Sheng had previously expected was achieved.
Shen Miaomiao's "forehand and backhand teaching" which Shen Miaomiao just casually mentioned at the beginning was also miraculously realized.
Everything seems to be going very smoothly. The previous discussion due to the mediocre industrial quality of "Payday" seems to have been gradually ignored by people with the announcement of "John Wick".
Until half a month later!
The emergence of a piece of news caused Golden Wind's originally smooth reputation to suddenly take a turn for the worse——
…
"Game Film and Television: Is it diversified development? Or is it just too much?"
This article first appeared in SNG Weekly.
It is written by a Chinese SNG editor.
As the world's largest comprehensive game media, this article immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was published.
Although the title of the article does not mention anyone by name.
But at this time, it is obviously not difficult to see who the protagonist of such an article published in the world's most influential gaming weekly is.
The article points out——
[Today’s game-changing movie carnival is certainly a “double-chef ecstasy” in the gaming and film circles, but the problems hidden behind it still cannot be ignored...]
[…We can’t help but ask: Is this a new way out of the development dilemma of our game industry by so vigorously mobilizing players’ attention and shifting their attention from mediocre games to game-modified movies with strong casts? 】
[We can’t help but ask again: Can a temporary carnival really solve the problem of having no engine available and hindering the progress of the entire industry?]
[We can’t help but ask: The host country’s grand event is imminent, and there is no progress on the key core issues! At this time, can such a carnival really be called a "new progress" in industrial diversification? Or is it just a waste of Guizhou donkey's skills? An act of desperation?】
[…As a Chinese, I am very pleased to see the progress and development of China’s game industry in recent years,]
[But as a media person who has been involved in the game industry for more than ten years, I know better that what is hidden behind this short and numb cheer is the tragedy of the core technology of China’s game industry...]
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
no doubt!
The appearance of this article is like dropping a huge boulder into the ripples of the lake!
Instantly caused an uproar!
After all, this is a Chinese editor working in SNG, and he has a more sufficient nationality advantage to comment on the "Chinese engine dilemma".
In addition, this article is so "sober", "objective", "rational" and "well-founded".
In a very short period of time, the previous heated discussion about "John Wick" was suppressed.
And it has guided countless players around the world to "see the essence through phenomena".
Focusing our attention again on the key issue of [Golden Engine Dilemma].
The players were talking a lot——
‘OMG deserves to be a Chinese editor, his analysis of the problem is too thorough’
‘A sharp article, objective and rational’
‘The Golden Engine is indeed still facing difficulties, and its mediocre technical capabilities still cannot support Sam to realize his game idea’
'As the article said, now that China's engine is blocked, hyping a game modification movie is indeed a bit cover-up'
'What a worrying fact'
‘In this way, it seems that game-changing movies really shouldn’t be such a big deal. Golden Wind seems to be deliberately using other more exciting news to cover up its own shortcomings.’
'After all, "Payday" is just a test game. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have such unprecedented treatment. And if GW is determined to develop into film and television, "Escape" seems to be more suitable than "Payday".
‘Using film and television to make up for the shortcomings of game technology? I feel that the analysis of this article is very reasonable...'
‘I believe Sam must be very helpless and can only do this’
'But the China CJ Exhibition is coming soon...'
'Yes, that's why they used "John Wick" to test the market. Then they can follow this formula and announce it at the CJ Expo.'
‘But what I like after all is GW’s games’
'It feels like GW is overdrawing its gaming capabilities...'
‘…’
The power of words.
Using a pen as a knife is never an exaggeration.
Even, to a certain extent, the pen of a media person with a wide range of communication and influence is more powerful than John Wick's pencil!
The direction of the wind changed rapidly!
The gaming industry seems to have "awakened" overnight——
"Want to cover up the obvious? Is the road to game-changing movies "teaching forehand and backhand" or "testing the player's bottom line?"
"Self-developed engine is in trouble, Golden Wind finds another way"
"The gold is covered in dust, and the self-developed engine is in trouble; the host is in a dilemma, and we need to find another way out to treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
"Is diversified development still a choice? The much-anticipated [John Wick] may be the beginning of Golden Wind's downhill journey"
"..."
Reports are coming in one after another!
Negative voices are rampant!
Although it seems that the rhythm this time is similar to the previous rhythm of badmouthing "Payday" and accusing the golden engine of mediocre performance.
But in fact!
Everybody knows.
The fatality and seriousness of the public opinion this time is far better than the previous petty fights!
This time, what the media and public opinion pointed out was not how mediocre your self-developed engine was, but pointed out that "the road to self-developed engines for the Chinese game industry will most likely encounter Waterloo"!
And as related discussions intensify!
Just when everyone is still speculating and doubting!
An even more important news broke out subsequently.
And as this news broke, the suspense seemed to be killed instantly.
The trend of gold is declining, and even the speculation that China’s self-developed engine is in trouble seems to be finalized——
A person who claims to be a "Golden Engine R&D Executive" posted a post in the [Chinese Game Developers Forum]:
[Riding the news! The engine development situation is indeed not optimistic...]
On the first floor of the post, the whistleblower first put up a work badge with his personal name coded on it.
In the uncoded part, words such as "Golden Engine R&D Department" and "Senior Engineer" are clearly visible on the work badge.
"I occupy the first floor myself. I'm in the Internet cafe and risking my life to break the news. I'll post a picture of my internal work certificate first. Please forgive me for typing my name..."
The standard breaking news format occupies the first floor of the post.
There is a saying that goes well——
On the Internet, you never know whether the person at the other end of the information flow is a person or a dog.
In the current public opinion environment, there are divergent opinions and constant speculation.
Breaking the news itself is the best way to gain attention.
Especially this kind of "explaining one's own experience" revelations.
Coupled with this convincing work certificate.
There is no doubt that the forum was instantly detonated!
In just three minutes, the floor had already reached two hundred meters away——
'Holy crap! There are pictures and the truth!'
‘Strong onlookers!’
‘The subject of the question is awesome!’
‘People who don’t know the truth are waiting’
‘Damn, this is so exciting, you’re really a senior engineer in engine development’
‘Sure enough, he risked his life to reveal the news’
‘Is the source reliable (dog head)’
'Peanut and melon seed benches are sold in the front row...'
‘…’
Amid the urging of the crowd, the whistleblower also slowly revealed the ‘internal situation’ he had mastered——
