Two months is not worth mentioning for an A-game masterpiece.
So when Chen Maolin proposed that he need to take over the handover with the company where he currently works and also deal with family matters, Sun Peng of course agreed without hesitation.
And during this period, no one will be idle.
Before Chen Maolin leaves China and returns to the UK, Sun Peng will explain his thoughts on the game in a convincing way, and then Chen Maolin will make a judgment. To put it bluntly, in addition to judging whether Sun Peng's thoughts are reasonable, Chen Maolin will also tell him what these things can do.
Can't be achieved!
Many ideas in the game must be supported by technology and experience.
As a senior game producer, Chen Maolin was afraid that Sun Peng would put forward some unrealistic ideas and use the imagination of laymen to ask insiders to realize them. But on the other hand, Chen Maolin was worried about some of the things Sun Peng had told him before.
For example, he was very interested in suggestions such as the impact of different levels of internal strength on the speed of increasing internal strength, such as floating on water, flying on grass and other light skills, as well as incorporating more Chinese cultural elements into the game!
After talking for three days, both of them felt that they still had something to say.
There is no way, Sun Peng has too many ideas.
Just with the idea of showing Chinese traditional culture, Sun Peng proposed to add Go, chess, Peking opera, shadow puppetry, paper-cutting, storytelling, antiques, etc. to the mission, and even the eight major Chinese cuisines. He wanted to reflect them all in the game.
come out.
Of course Chen Maolin initially wanted to veto such an idea.
"I have to say, your idea is great!"
After thinking about it, Chen Maolin sighed: "On the one hand, these things can remind our young domestic players to pay more attention to these beautiful and elegant but declining arts. On the other hand, they can also allow overseas players to understand
They play a role in publicity and promotion, which is definitely more powerful than any other form of hard promotion, but..."
"But what? Teacher Chen might as well just say it!"
Seeing Chen Maolin's confused look, Sun Peng shrugged and smiled.
"But if you force it in, it would be too stiff."
Shaking his head, Chen Maolin said with a wry smile: "What we are going to do is ultimately an RPG game. The existence of any part must serve the game. If there is no suitable plot to rely on, no matter how big our investment is, we will not be able to make these content
So what if it’s exciting? Putting it in will only make it look stiff, which will affect the entire game experience!"
In Chen Maolin's opinion, many of the gadgets from his ancestors are indeed good things.
Want to do it? Just spend money!
For example, what Sun Peng said about Peking Opera or other dramas, how much does it cost to make an animation? Even if you find domestic Peking Opera masters to add an original song, it shouldn't increase the cost too much. But if you want to perfect Peking Opera
It's not even a little difficult to integrate it into the plot!
And it would be fine if it was just a Peking Opera. The problem is that Sun Peng has too many ideas!
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this!"
After listening to Chen Maolin's words, Sun Peng was immediately happy: "Don't forget, I am the chief screenwriter of the entire game. I will naturally be responsible for solving these things you are worried about! And I didn't say that everything should be put in the main line.
, we can definitely make some things as branch plots! For example, a little singing girl and her grandfather, a peerless master, etc..."
"Oh? Just like the one in Swordsman... Who is that?"
"Swordsman? Are you talking about Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan?"
"Yes! Yes! Those are the grandfather and grandson!"
As soon as he slapped his thigh, Chen Maolin suddenly became excited: "If you say that, I will understand... Huh? That's not right! Didn't Qu Yang and the others sing the song Swordsman? I was thinking about singing the song "Swordsman" before. "A Laugh in the Sea" is put into the game. If they are asked to sing Peking Opera, it would be a pity for this song!"
Ignoring Chen Maolin's words, Sun Peng widened his eyes in surprise: "Oh, Mr. Chen, do you still know "A Laugh in the Sea"?"
"Haha, of course, and I love it!"
Waving his hand, Chen Maolin seemed to feel quite proud of Sun Peng's accident, and laughed.
In his opinion, "A Laugh from the Sea" is really suitable to be incorporated into the game. Not only can everyone listen to this classic tune, but it can also be taught through the five tones of Yu, Zheng, Jiao, Shang and Gong. Let’s popularize the knowledge of traditional Chinese music theory. It will serve multiple purposes with one stone!
So although I think it's quite appropriate, Chen Maolin will not replace the song "A Laugh in the Sea" with Peking Opera.
After listening to Chen Maolin's explanation, Sun Peng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am not willing to give up, and I will definitely not give up this song. But don't worry, what I am talking about is not Qu Yang and his friends, even None of this is the content of Swordsman! In fact, I can easily make up a classic plot about a grandfather who is a peerless master and a little granddaughter who sings together!"
"Oh? Can you tell me about it?"
There was a look of interest on his face, but Chen Maolin was a little disapproving in his heart.
Classic plot?
Haha, it’s so simple!
Although Chen Maolin believes in Sun Peng's strength, and those best-selling works around the world are the best evidence, but to say that classic plots are so easy to write, and just think about it, he really can't believe it to death. !
"Now? This is easy!"
However, to Chen Maolin's surprise, Sun Peng raised his eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "We can set the old man who sells songs as a hidden super master, and give him a very deceptive name, such as Old Man Tianji or something like that. As for his setting, he could be the original best master in the world, but later he worried about gains and losses, began to fear and escape, and over time his martial arts failed to advance but retreated... Well, this story is a bit too big, and I don't know if it is suitable to be included in the main plot. Not suitable? Maybe we can consider making an expansion pack or something... Mr. Chen, don't worry, this is a new story I just thought of, and it's called "Xiao Li Flying Knife" for the time being. I'll give you a rough outline Let me tell you the plot..."
"..."
Listening to Sun Peng's enthusiastic storytelling, Chen Maolin's expression gradually changed.
From being disapproving to being a little surprised at the beginning, then starting to look "shocked" after listening to half of the story, and then feeling confused at the end of the story, Chen Maolin felt like he had undergone a baptism in just ten minutes - a From doubting to confirming the existence of a genius, a baptism that almost subverted the three views!
Damn it!
Are there really such monsters in this world?!
Just after hearing the general outline, Chen Maolin knew that this was a good story. If Lao Bai had written it, it might still be as good as his martial arts novels!
Is it that simple, just say it casually?
After swallowing hard, Chen Maolin asked with an almost trembling voice: "Teacher Lao Bai, how many stories like this...have you conceived?"
"How many? Well, I haven't counted this one."
Tilting his head, Sun Peng thought about the martial arts novels he had picked out during this period. He hesitated and grinned: "Basically speaking, there are at least twenty, right? But I want to use a game.
It’s definitely unrealistic to catch them all in one go. Let’s just select carefully when the time comes!” (To be continued)
