After a while, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the mental state of Kong Xi who came in was worse than before, and his face became a little pale. It seemed that the compromise between capital and his immediate boss made him realize the reality.
"You win... Our boss agreed to this cooperation, but before signing the contract, I want to know what your script is?" Kong Xi sat at the conference table as if he had lost his soul, looking at the two pictures on the table
Envelopes lying around randomly asked.
Game companies are indeed full of enthusiastic gamers from top to bottom, but things will always be corroded. The higher people sit, the faster they will be corroded, because they can often see reality more clearly.
, and make compromises.
"This aspect will be relayed by Miss Shutoku Mai." The lawyer said that it was no longer his job here. He was only responsible for robbing the children, and it was up to their parents to plan the future of the children.
Mai Shutoku put the finished coffee cup on the table. As a sinful rich girl who bought a child, she finally came to the conference table from the floor-to-ceiling window. But at this time, Kong Xi no longer had any energy to appreciate this Japanese woman.
The OL was shocked, but the other party's stunning front looked so ferocious and terrifying in his eyes.
Mai Shutoku reached out and took a fax that the lawyer pulled out from the file, and sat on the chair at the end of the conference table grandly. Ru Feng's crimson eyebrows scanned the text on the fax, cleared his throat and read in a calm and indifferent tone.
Said, "...the legendary 'Nine Levels Ghost Realm' has always been a mysterious and terrifying place in Beijing's underground subway. Once, when the subway was being built in Beijing, subway workers encountered an 'unknown' while digging underground tunnels.
Half of a bottle has already become a fossilized dragon bone embedded in the soil and rock formations."
"Wait... the background of the story is in Beijing? I'm afraid it won't pass the trial, right?" Kong Xi was shocked, "And what are the subway, the dragon bone, and the nine-layer ghost realm?"
"The subway is the subway you think of, and so is the keel. When making the model, the keel can be magnified hundreds of times with reference to the skeleton of a reptile. As for the ghost realm, it is not a ghost, but a realm made by dragons." Mai Shutoku said.
"As for the matter of passing the review, your company doesn't have to worry about it. We have a way to get the formal copyright number." The lawyer explained, and looked at Mai Shutoku to signal to continue.
So Mai Shutoku picked up the document and continued: "Subway workers respected this unknown thing like a god, and once interrupted the subway excavation work to worship, and 'Fenrisulfr' is the name of the owner of the keel, which is a powerful oriental dragon.
The giant dragon had its spine cut off by 'Odin' in the ancient war, and was forced to sleep in the wilderness of the east. As time passed, the migration of the earth caused it to be buried underground by the changes of mountains and seas, until thousands of years later,
Humanity's tall buildings are rising rapidly on the earth. The tall towers that were originally rising towards the sky could not affect it in the slightest. Until one day, Beijing started excavation of underground tunnels in full swing and discovered this secret that had been hidden for thousands of years.
.”
What is this... a realistic fantasy story background?!
Kong Xi was a little dizzy and wanted to vomit blood at the same time, but seeing the boss's ecstatic look on the phone and his order to stabilize his customers, he could only force himself to hold back and take the sexy Japanese girl.
The text in my hand was torn into pieces with the desire to continue listening.
"While 'Fenrisulfr' was buried, it built its own dragon's nest underground. The dragon's nest was divided into nine layers. Each layer was full of traps and dragon fans. When the subway workers discovered this secret, they were
The fear of the evil dragon chose not to report it, and sealed the entrance to the dragon's nest with concrete and steel bars, allowing the original tunnel route to avoid the dragon's nest and continue to build the subway..."
"So this is a story about a subway worker fighting a dragon?" Kong Xi took a deep breath, picked up the mineral water bottle with a trembling hand, and tried his best to tell himself that the Japanese girl sitting opposite him now controls the life and death of their project department.
Daquan, please don't lose control and splash water on the other person's beautiful and sexy face.
"Not at all."
"What do you mean... it's not all true?" Kong Xi was a little desperate. Why don't you just deny me outright! It's not all true... That would be scarier, okay?
"According to the script, after the subway workers buried the secret of the Dragon's Nest, today, decades later, due to the age and disrepair of the subway and the unexpected intrusion of some young people who are keen on exploring, the entrance to the Dragon's Nest was finally revealed.
This attracted a large group of dragon-slaying warriors to go deep into the dragon's lair in the Beijing subway station, descend into the nine ghost realms, and pass many tests to find the evil dragon in the deepest part of the subway... There may also be part-time subway workers among these dragon-slaying warriors.
"
"...So in the setting, there are still a large number of dragon-slaying warriors in Beijing?" Kong Xi was a little numb.
"They are a group of people with lofty ideals hidden in the crowd. Of course, they can also be bounty hunters who came from abroad after hearing the news. At least that's what the boss said in the notes. It is not mandatory that those who slay the dragon must be locals or Chinese.
Otherwise, it would feel like discrimination against outsiders." Mai Shutoku reminded me.
Your boss is really politically correct, Kong Xi thought.
"So this is a tower-climbing game setting?" Kong Xi took a deep breath to get himself into working mode so as not to be affected. "I admit that this is indeed in line with some of the original settings of our game. Many places do not need to be modified, but because
Due to the construction period, some places may not have time to make models, so we can only use textures, otherwise we can only outsource them.”
"You make your own decisions regarding game production. The overall game style is more of a dungeon horror style. The background is an old subway style from the last century. The tone is cold and dark, similar to the "Resident Evil" series. My boss also set some pictures of monsters.
After collecting the game, he will send the setting book over. He hopes that all monsters will have a chance to appear in the game." Mai Shutoku said.
Kong Xi nodded reluctantly. At least they had a ready-made set of settings to use. It seemed that this big customer's plan was not a matter of a day or two... The people in the model team may have been up all night this month.
"There is also a very important setting. The fans of the evil dragon are all kinds of strange. It is naturally not easy to kill the evil dragon. 'Fenrisulfr' has a particularly explosive personality and will kill anyone who tries to disturb his sleep.
Intruders, those who enter the dragon's lair need to collect a sacred item 'Seven Deadly Sins' in the Nine-layer Ghost Realm."
"Shouldn't this weapon be a dragon-slaying sword? It's also very Chinese style..." Kong Xi complained.
"Don't interrupt." Mai Shutoku said calmly, "The 'Seven Deadly Sins' are seven weapons of different shapes. Each one has a unique inscription on it. When combined together, it becomes an ancient curse."
She paused, then slowly recited: "The blood of any king will end with the sword."
There was a chilling air in the woman's reciting voice, and Kong Xi, who was sitting at the conference table, felt a little cold for no reason. He didn't know whether it was because of the sudden seriousness and solemnity of the line, or whether it was simply because of the extreme absurdity of it.
The game script is so cold.
"I have to admit that this kind of script is indeed very... stylized and unique, but its mode is indeed in line with our original setting of 'Nine-story Demon Tower', but our original setting is to climb the tower, but yours
It means 'If you're a man, go down a hundred levels'... But overall it's still a 3D level-breaking RPG game, a bit like a 3D version of "The Binding of Isaac"?" Kong Xi calmed down and took it seriously.
Thinking about this plan, I unexpectedly found that except for the background story provided by the other party, which was too weird, in general, they still maintained the game mode they originally set... Maybe it can really work?
"Also, my boss hopes to get the 'first pass' in this game."
"The setting of 'first pass'... you can also join an online instant clearance list on the Internet. This is not difficult, but I would like to remind you that things like 'first pass' generally need to be discussed with the player.
Competition, the player base on the Internet is huge, and there are countless high-level players. Is your boss hinting that we need to give some special 'help'?" Kong Xi really felt that he was losing face as a game producer. Official cheats have always been
It's something they are ashamed of in the industry, but they didn't expect that they would have to put this matter on the table to talk about it now.
"There is no need to open a back door internally. What the boss means is to increase the difficulty of this 'If you are a man, go down to a hundred levels' game as much as possible. It is best to make the difficulty so unbelievable that 'clearing the level' itself is a complete task."
This honor can greatly stimulate the player's desire to challenge, and can also give a considerable sense of satisfaction after completing the level." Mai Shutoku explained, "Killing the evil dragon in the deepest part of the Ninefold Ghost Realm is the biggest goal of this game.
"
"I didn't expect that your boss is still a hardcore gamer." Kong Xi complained, "The difficulty can indeed be increased, and ultra-hardcore games do have an audience, but I would like to remind you that excessive increase in the difficulty of the game will inevitably lead to a smaller audience.
At that time, the profit of the game may not be so good. That is... it will be popular but not popular."
"There is no need to worry about this. Reputation and gameplay are what our boss really cares about. For him, the purpose of the game itself is to give players a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, and to gain something from it. If you want to consider profits and results.
, it’s a bit too boring. If he wants to make money, he will naturally send people to Wall Street to harvest. The game is just a game." Shutoku Mai shrugged.
Kong Xi was stunned for a long time and suddenly gave a low thumbs up, "I admit... your boss is really extraordinary!"
He suddenly changed his view of the male owner of a wealthy mansion behind the scenes.
No matter how bad the boss Mai Shutoku said about script writing and game production, his attitude and views on the game itself are worthy of Kong Xi, a game producer who devoted himself to the industry for love, to put up a big
thumb.
If Chinese gamers all play games with this attitude...then the Chinese game industry will collapse tomorrow. This is a fact, but before the collapse, there will definitely be a lot of truly amazing and truly outstanding products left behind.
It is a work that is not inferior to the painstaking efforts of foreign games!
...But is it all worth it? Use everything in the future to create the splendor of a shooting star.
Kong Xi didn't have an answer in his heart. This was also the answer he had been trying to get in the gaming industry over the years.
"This is only part of the setting. I will send the complete script to you by fax. You only need to develop it according to the contract. 'Shou Tong' and 'Slaying the Dragon' are our own affairs. I believe in my boss's
Regarding game technology, I hope you can live up to his expectations. Four million US dollars is not a small amount, and it includes the cost of publicity and distribution. You use Unreal Engine to make your games. Some immature technologies can be outsourced.
To optimize and update the game itself..." Mai Shutoku put down the script in her hand.
"There is no need to outsource! As long as there are enough funds, we can also make our own "Resident Evil" and "Assassin's Creed"!" Kong Xi perked up and said seriously.
"I hope so. As long as the finished product is qualified, everything else doesn't matter." Mai Shutoku stood up and walked towards the door of the conference room.
She just left.
"The following matters regarding the drafting of the contract will be discussed between me and your company." The lawyer was still sitting there and indicated that Miss Shutoku Mai's work has been completed. She came here today to supervise and witness the work, and read out part
The game script is just incidental.
"Do you know the boss behind Miss Mai Shutoku?" Kong Xi also wanted to know more about the neurotic rich man behind the scenes.
The lawyer shook his head and sighed, "Actually, I don't know the client personally. The client is just Ms. Mai Shutoku that you met before. I heard that her boss is an otaku who is a heavy gamer. She once had a problem with the upgrade system of "FF14".
Dissatisfied with the novice guidance system, he sold Square's stock in a large amount and was interested in advancing preparations for a redo of the game. In his words: This kind of good game deserves a Nirvana rebirth!"
"I am also a loyal player of "FF14". The novice guidance and upgrade system are really well done... but it should be impossible to remake it? Will Square Enix still spend time on such a dying game?"
"Who knows?" the lawyer said, "These rich people are somewhat neurotic and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. I think if your company fails to submit a satisfactory answer after a month, I'm afraid the client will be angry.
Acquire and reorganize the entire company. Maybe I will come here again at that time, but the purpose will be different from today."
Kong Xi clicked his tongue and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He pretended not to understand the lawyer's threats of oppression, intentionally or unintentionally. For him, playing a good game is everything, although the bad news is that in the next month, the whole company may be affected.
They are working overtime, but the good news is that they no longer need to go through troublesome financing. With a budget of four million US dollars, they will be worried about how to use this abundant funds reasonably and in place for quite some time - the trouble of happiness
!
Kong Xi looked at the office building with a complicated expression as Mai Jiudoku drove away in the sharp black Corvette, and the black silk beauty, who even drove a supercar, disappeared into the golden and green streets of Beijing.
He felt like he was dreaming, but the promissory note in his hand reminded him that this was reality. He could only digest the two sky-high promissory notes of two million US dollars brought to them by the other party, and a story that was so ridiculous that he didn't know it.
