A symphony orchestra, a conductor, a female voice, and eight harmonies.
"For a game song, this lineup is too luxurious!"
When Chen Maolin, who had traveled thousands of miles back from the UK, walked into the rehearsal hall and saw everything in front of him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and let out a slightly off-key sigh!
So, so luxurious!
Even the total investment in the new game currently under preparation will not be less than 30 million pounds, which is a proper large-scale production level. However, the music part of the entire game will not cost too much. An investment of several hundred thousand pounds is already considered
It's top-notch. And all the investment includes all the soundtracks and even songs!
But looking at the person in front of him, Chen Maolin felt that his three views had been completely subverted!
If it is really for one of the most important songs in the game to pull together such a lineup to perform, Chen Maolin can actually barely accept it. After all, for many super large productions, the investment in soundtracks is very luxurious, and a few of the most important songs seem
It deserves to be treated like this. But when he heard the female assistant who picked him up at the airport say that Sun Peng was just fulfilling a promise to create a war song for the Chinese PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds team that had just won the championship, what else could he do besides being stunned?
How much did Lao Bai spend to record this song?
Fifty thousand pounds? Or one hundred thousand pounds?
As if he heard Chen Maolin's thoughts, Liu Chang, who had been standing quietly next to him, suddenly whispered: "In order to achieve the best recording effect, these people have been practicing together for a week... Mr. Chen, I want to
You can listen to this piece of music later, it’s really exciting!"
"...certainly!"
After his eyelids twitched, Chen Maolin nodded.
A piece of music that requires a symphony orchestra to perform will probably require at least half a month of practice and training. And even if the orchestra is willing to cooperate with Lao Bai, one of the world's top musicians, the cost of forty people will definitely not be enough.
It will be less, plus the fees of the singers nearby, the rent of the venue, etc...
If it's just scoring music for your own game, that's it. Writing a war song for a team?
"Oh, what a luxury!"
Thinking that he was still at odds with the company over the budget for the new game, Chen Maolin couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.
Chen Maolin was really surprised when he received a call from China last week.
This year alone, in addition to the hot topic "Magicians and Wizards" in the UK, there are also popular movies such as "The Truman Show" and "Assassins", and of course there are also movies that have just been released and are still going on.
Chen Tianhou's new album, which continues to top the British charts, has made laobai the hottest name at the moment.
Especially in the past two years, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has become a myth in the gaming industry!
This is the first Chinese game to make huge waves in Europe and the United States. I don’t know how many controversies it has caused in the past year - from the rise of Chinese games to the invasion of TT game platforms, from the essence of battle royale gameplay to major game companies
Chen Maolin's company alone has discussed imitating it countless times.
But what scares Chen Maolin even more is Lao Bai's "scheming"!
It’s enough to make “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”. They also made a low-end version of “Knives Out”, a mobile version of “PUBG”, and even “Fortnite” with further innovation in gameplay. Almost
It blocked the most important avenues for followers! Not only did it occupy the market with four games at once, it also used the live broadcast that had just emerged to promote the game, creating a miracle in the history of games -
—A miracle worthy of inclusion in textbooks!
And it was precisely because of such a miracle that Chen Maolin, who was devoted to gaming, came to know Laobai, and was amazed when searching for this person's information!
Novels, music, animations, movies, TV series, games, and even picture books and advertisements!
Chen Maolin never thought that one person could master so many skills and do so well in every field.
So one can imagine how surprised he was when he received Lao Bai's invitation.
The news that Lao Bai announced on Weibo that he was going to make a new game did not seem to have spread to the UK, at least it was not widely publicized by the British media. But this did not prevent Chen Mao from replying to Sun Ya immediately,
I will return to China as soon as possible to meet that great god!
Even though it was the time for his new game project to be approved, Chen Maolin was unwilling to give up this opportunity.
Then, Chen Maolin found the answer on the Internet.
A new game!
Lao Bai is going to prepare a new game. Although there is only a simple sentence on Weibo, it is enough for Chen Maolin to understand the purpose of the other party inviting him back to China to meet - apart from poaching himself, he can't think of a second reason!
China's game industry is still lagging behind after all.
As a gamer who came out of this country, Chen Maolin has the most say on this point. And after reaching this level, Chen Maolin has seen more things, so he understands why Lao Bai wants to invite him.
Without him, what Lao Bai needs is his own project management experience!
To be honest, according to Chen Maolin's understanding, the current Chinese gaming industry is not that bad technically. You can buy equipment and software from abroad as long as you are willing to spend money, and after several years of outsourcing to those major game companies, especially
I have made rapid progress in art, programming and other aspects.
But the key point is that China lacks experience in making large-scale games.
This kind of experience is not only technical, but more importantly, management experience. Especially when the investment in the game exceeds a certain number and the team size expands sharply, deficiencies in all aspects will naturally be magnified.
.
Compared to Chen Maolin's emotion, Liu Chang seemed very unconcerned. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Luxury? Maybe a bit. But if you are referring to the symphony orchestra and the others, it doesn't matter. No matter TT Games or CSF Team.
They are all very happy to pay for it."
"Well..."
Seeing her calm and relaxed appearance, Chen Maolin suddenly fell silent.
Well, he almost forgot about this!
I feel that hiring a symphony orchestra and a few singers is too extravagant, but in the eyes of others... no, in the eyes of others, it should be that the piece itself is too extravagant!
The music score written by Lao Bai himself is really valuable, right?
"Look, the co-starring is about to begin!"
Just when Chen Maolin was filled with sighs, Liu Chang next to him suddenly whispered, causing all the thoughts in his mind to disappear instantly.
What kind of music will the famous Lao Bai create?
Under the gaze of the two people, Sun Peng nodded towards the conductor, and the other man stood up from his chair. When the conductor stood on the podium, Sun Peng's eyes unconsciously glanced around
, and then saw Liu Chang and Chen Maolin who had just come in!
He was stunned for a moment, then a smile bloomed on his face!
After waving to the two of them from afar, Sun Peng did not come over immediately, but immediately made a gesture of listening.
This csf war song is about to begin! (To be continued)
