"Great, I can immediately arrange the top screenwriting and production..."
"Can you imagine what a real-life Pokémon would look like?"
"This... is to express those Pokémon in a higher-definition 3D form, and then stay true to the original work as you said."
"How do you stay true to the original work? The story in the game is simply about killing monsters and upgrading, then challenging different gyms step by step, and finally becoming the top trainer. There is almost no story in the game about this process."
"It seems... too."
In any case, Tukarev is also a very good friend, and the cooperation between the two parties is not bad.
At this point, Tukarev has a very strong sense of empathy for Nico.
Later, before Zhu Yuxing traveled back in time, he knew that Nintendo had cooperated to develop a Mario animated movie. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to see it when he traveled back in time, so it was unclear whether the Super Mario animated movie would be a success.
It’s not that he looks down on TV series.
"Absolutely no problem!" Tukarev said, patting his chest.
He is Russian himself, and he came to the United States for some reasons, hoping to carve out his own world here.
Zhu Yuxing said: "Of course, if I just authorize you the GTA Liberty City Chapter, I won't waste my breath. I can also authorize you to develop film and television adaptations of Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid series. And I only have one request, and that is to restore
For the original work, please first please the players, and then consider pleasing other people.”
However, the starting point of that movie is different. It does not develop the story as a Pokémon trainer as the main line, but a derivative game work of the Pokémon series: a live-action adaptation of Detective Pikachu. This is also a trick.
If it is not done well, you can also use the reason that it is a derivative work to convince players who like this game.
It's just that he still prefers to delve deeper into movies, and he is more familiar with the movie circle.
He even felt that the Nico described by Zhu Yuxing was simply another copy of himself.
And if it succeeds, it proves that this format is in the right direction, and then we can continue to develop similar adaptations in depth.
Tukarev was slightly disappointed.
In his previous life, Zhu Youxing had seen too many adaptations of works that he had made haphazardly, and in the end he displeased everyone.
Zhu Yuxing finally thought about it and said: "Let me recommend a few works to you. It is actually quite difficult to adapt movies and TV series from games like Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon. I ask that you must
We need to take care of the players’ feelings, and the stories of these types of games are often relatively monotonous, and without good enough directors and screenwriters, it’s difficult to make them well.”
This movie is just standard garbage.
If Nico in the game had someone like Zhu Yusei to help him, maybe he would have embarked on a completely different path.
"What do you think."
When he heard that Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid were licensed, Tukarev immediately beamed.
However, he was very impressed by the live-action film and television adaptation of Pokémon. It was the first time he tried to show Pokémon in the form of a live-action performance.
In this case, Zhu Yuxing feels that he should only consider pleasing the players. Unless he can have a truly top-notch screenwriter and director to give him a sufficiently eye-catching work, Zhu Yuxing may consider making a slight concession.
When Tukarev mentioned licensing IP, Zhu Youxing also suddenly remembered a film and television work in his previous life that was quite historical.
Tukarev immediately became interested when he heard that Zhu Youxing finally seemed to be unable to bear his request and was willing to recommend and authorize some works for him.
"About this idea, it's actually very simple. It's an IP battle."
However, apart from the fact that the movie is called Super Mario Bros., the rest of it is simply nonsense.
Before the time travel of Bamboo Planet, Mario only had one very early live-action movie.
"Oh, by the way, I suddenly have another idea that should be good, but I don't know if you are interested."
"No problem! So what can be adapted from Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid? Is it a TV series?"
However, that work can only be said to be good or not bad.
Zhu Yuxing spread his hands and said: "Let's just remake the story of GTA Liberty City Chapter into a TV series. Focusing on Nico, an illegal immigrant from Eastern Europe, it will probably be enough to film for two or three seasons. What do you think?"
At this moment, Zhu Youxing felt that this seemed to be a bit of a trick.
He also played this game and was moved by Nico in the game.
"A TV series..."
But speaking of it, GTA is indeed quite popular recently.
"Zhuyou, what kind of work do you think it is? As long as it is popular enough, I will definitely do my best to make this work a good one, and I will definitely be loyal to the original work."
But now, he has his own business and it is booming.
Tukarev had already begun to draw a broad blueprint in his mind.
"You can consider this yourself, I won't interfere too much, and what I hope is not to ruin the reputation among the players."
He can also be considered an immigrant who came to the United States.
This work can be said to be a collection of the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought. An old man in his seventies has skillfully used the elements that young people like most to create a world view and story content that young people yearn for.
If Zhu Yuxing hadn't helped him when he was desperate and made his Xinghai Infinity movie series a hit, he might have returned to Russia in despair to inherit the family business and do things he didn't like to do at all.
, you will live in the shadow of your elders for the rest of your life.
"IP Battle?"
Zhu Youxing smiled: "As you said, I own an IP gold mine, but it is indeed a pity not to mine it blindly. But sometimes I worry that if the mining method is inappropriate, it will cause me
The core player group is dissatisfied and distrustful, but IP licensing can not only be used for a single IP adaptation, IP licensing can also do some more interesting things."
"What exactly is that?"
"I want to call it 'Ready Player One.' As the name suggests, it is the top existence among video game players, and such players will compete for something in countless familiar video games, and can appear in movies.
Countless video game elements."
Tukarev blinked. He actually still didn't understand what was going on, but... what was going on when it seemed to be lit?
